King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Hezekiah[H3169] began to reign[H4427] when he was five[H2568] and twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old,[H1121] and he reigned[H4427] nine[H8672] and twenty[H6242] years[H8141] in Jerusalem.[H3389] And his mother's[H517] name[H8034] was Abijah,[H29] the daughter[H1323] of Zechariah.[H2148]

2. And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] according to all[H3605] that[H834] David[H1732] his father[H1] had done.[H6213]

3. He[H1931] in the first[H7223] year[H8141] of his reign,[H4427] in the first[H7223] month,[H2320] opened[H6605] [H853] the doors[H1817] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and repaired[H2388] them.

4. And he brought in[H935] [H853] the priests[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] and gathered them together[H622] into the east[H4217] street,[H7339]

5. And said[H559] unto them, Hear[H8085] me, ye Levites,[H3881] sanctify now yourselves,[H6942] [H6258] and sanctify[H6942] [H853] the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of your fathers,[H1] and carry forth[H3318] [H853] the filthiness[H5079] out of[H4480] the holy[H6944] place.

6. For[H3588] our fathers[H1] have trespassed,[H4603] and done[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the eyes[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] our God,[H430] and have forsaken[H5800] him, and have turned away[H5437] their faces[H6440] from the habitation[H4480] [H4908] of the LORD,[H3068] and turned[H5414] their backs.[H6203]

7. Also[H1571] they have shut up[H5462] the doors[H1817] of the porch,[H197] and put out[H3518] [H853] the lamps,[H5216] and have not[H3808] burned[H6999] incense[H7004] nor[H3808] offered[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] in the holy[H6944] place unto the God[H430] of Israel.[H3478]

8. Wherefore the wrath[H7110] of the LORD[H3068] was[H1961] upon[H5921] Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] and he hath delivered[H5414] them to trouble,[H2189] to astonishment,[H8047] and to hissing,[H8322] as[H834] ye[H859] see[H7200] with your eyes.[H5869]

9. For, lo,[H2009] our fathers[H1] have fallen[H5307] by the sword,[H2719] and our sons[H1121] and our daughters[H1323] and our wives[H802] are in captivity[H7628] for[H5921] this.[H2063]

10. Now[H6258] it is in[H5973] mine heart[H3824] to make[H3772] a covenant[H1285] with the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] that his fierce[H2740] wrath[H639] may turn away[H7725] from[H4480] us.

11. My sons,[H1121] be not[H408] now[H6258] negligent:[H7952] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath chosen[H977] you to stand[H5975] before[H6440] him, to serve[H8334] him, and that ye should minister[H1961] [H8334] unto him, and burn incense.[H6999]

12. Then the Levites[H3881] arose,[H6965] Mahath[H4287] the son[H1121] of Amasai,[H6022] and Joel[H3100] the son[H1121] of Azariah,[H5838] of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of the Kohathites:[H6956] and of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Merari,[H4847] Kish[H7027] the son[H1121] of Abdi,[H5660] and Azariah[H5838] the son[H1121] of Jehalelel:[H3094] and of[H4480] the Gershonites;[H1649] Joah[H3098] the son[H1121] of Zimmah,[H2155] and Eden[H5731] the son[H1121] of Joah: [H3098]

13. And of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Elizaphan;[H469] Shimri,[H8113] and Jeiel:[H3273] and of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Asaph;[H623] Zechariah,[H2148] and Mattaniah: [H4983]

14. And of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Heman;[H1968] Jehiel,[H3171] and Shimei:[H8096] and of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Jeduthun;[H3038] Shemaiah,[H8098] and Uzziel.[H5816]

15. And they gathered[H622] [H853] their brethren,[H251] and sanctified themselves,[H6942] and came,[H935] according to the commandment[H4687] of the king,[H4428] by the words[H1697] of the LORD,[H3068] to cleanse[H2891] the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

16. And the priests[H3548] went[H935] into the inner part[H6441] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] to cleanse[H2891] it, and brought out[H3318] [H853] all[H3605] the uncleanness[H2932] that[H834] they found[H4672] in the temple[H1964] of the LORD[H3068] into the court[H2691] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068] And the Levites[H3881] took[H6901] it, to carry it out[H3318] abroad[H2351] into the brook[H5158] Kidron.[H6939]

17. Now they began[H2490] on the first[H259] day of the first[H7223] month[H2320] to sanctify,[H6942] and on the eighth[H8083] day[H3117] of the month[H2320] came[H935] they to the porch[H197] of the LORD:[H3068] so they sanctified[H6942] [H853] the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] in eight[H8083] days;[H3117] and in the sixteenth[H8337] [H6240] day[H3117] of the first[H7223] month[H2320] they made an end.[H3615]

18. Then they went[H935] in[H6441] to[H413] Hezekiah[H2396] the king,[H4428] and said,[H559] We have cleansed[H2891] [H853] all[H3605] the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and the altar[H4196] of burnt offering,[H5930] with all[H3605] the vessels[H3627] thereof, and the shewbread[H4635] table,[H7979] with[H853] all[H3605] the vessels[H3627] thereof.

19. Moreover all[H3605] the vessels,[H3627] which[H834] king[H4428] Ahaz[H271] in his reign[H4438] did cast away[H2186] in his transgression,[H4604] have we prepared[H3559] and sanctified,[H6942] and, behold,[H2009] they are before[H6440] the altar[H4196] of the LORD.[H3068]

20. Then Hezekiah[H3169] the king[H4428] rose early,[H7925] and gathered[H622] [H853] the rulers[H8269] of the city,[H5892] and went up[H5927] to the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

21. And they brought[H935] seven[H7651] bullocks,[H6499] and seven[H7651] rams,[H352] and seven[H7651] lambs,[H3532] and seven[H7651] he goats,[H6842] [H5795] for a sin offering[H2403] for[H5921] the kingdom,[H4467] and for[H5921] the sanctuary,[H4720] and for[H5921] Judah.[H3063] And he commanded[H559] the priests[H3548] the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] to offer[H5927] them on[H5921] the altar[H4196] of the LORD.[H3068]

22. So they killed[H7819] the bullocks,[H1241] and the priests[H3548] received[H6901] [H853] the blood,[H1818] and sprinkled[H2236] it on the altar:[H4196] likewise, when they had killed[H7819] the rams,[H352] they sprinkled[H2236] the blood[H1818] upon the altar:[H4196] they killed[H7819] also the lambs,[H3532] and they sprinkled[H2236] the blood[H1818] upon the altar.[H4196]

23. And they brought forth[H5066] [H853] the he goats[H8163] for the sin offering[H2403] before[H6440] the king[H4428] and the congregation;[H6951] and they laid[H5564] their hands[H3027] upon[H5921] them:

24. And the priests[H3548] killed[H7819] them, and they made reconciliation[H2398] with[H854] their blood[H1818] upon the altar,[H4196] to make an atonement[H3722] for[H5921] all[H3605] Israel:[H3478] for[H3588] the king[H4428] commanded[H559] that the burnt offering[H5930] and the sin offering[H2403] should be made for all[H3605] Israel.[H3478]

25. And he set[H5975] [H853] the Levites[H3881] in the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] with cymbals,[H4700] with psalteries,[H5035] and with harps,[H3658] according to the commandment[H4687] of David,[H1732] and of Gad[H1410] the king's[H4428] seer,[H2374] and Nathan[H5416] the prophet:[H5030] for[H3588] so was the commandment[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] by[H3027] his prophets.[H5030]

26. And the Levites[H3881] stood[H5975] with the instruments[H3627] of David,[H1732] and the priests[H3548] with the trumpets.[H2689]

27. And Hezekiah[H2396] commanded[H559] to offer[H5927] the burnt offering[H5930] upon the altar.[H4196] And when[H6256] the burnt offering[H5930] began,[H2490] the song[H7892] of the LORD[H3068] began[H2490] also with the trumpets,[H2689] and with[H5921] the instruments[H3027] [H3627] ordained by David[H1732] king[H4428] of Israel.[H3478]

28. And all[H3605] the congregation[H6951] worshiped,[H7812] and the singers[H7892] sang,[H7891] and the trumpeters[H2689] sounded:[H2690] and all[H3605] this continued until[H5704] the burnt offering[H5930] was finished.[H3615]

29. And when they had made an end[H3615] of offering,[H5927] the king[H4428] and all[H3605] that were present[H4672] with[H854] him bowed[H3766] themselves, and worshiped.[H7812]

30. Moreover Hezekiah[H3169] the king[H4428] and the princes[H8269] commanded[H559] the Levites[H3881] to sing praise[H1984] unto the LORD[H3068] with the words[H1697] of David,[H1732] and of Asaph[H623] the seer.[H2374] And they sang praises[H1984] with[H5704] gladness,[H8057] and they bowed their heads[H6915] and worshiped.[H7812]

31. Then Hezekiah[H3169] answered[H6030] and said,[H559] Now[H6258] ye have consecrated[H4390] [H3027] yourselves unto the LORD,[H3068] come near[H5066] and bring[H935] sacrifices[H2077] and thank offerings[H8426] into the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068] And the congregation[H6951] brought in[H935] sacrifices[H2077] and thank offerings;[H8426] and as many as[H3605] were of a free[H5081] heart[H3820] burnt offerings.[H5930]

32. And the number[H4557] of the burnt offerings,[H5930] which[H834] the congregation[H6951] brought,[H935] was[H1961] threescore and ten[H7657] bullocks,[H1241] a hundred[H3967] rams,[H352] and two hundred[H3967] lambs:[H3532] all[H3605] these[H428] were for a burnt offering[H5930] to the LORD.[H3068]

33. And the consecrated things[H6944] were six[H8337] hundred[H3967] oxen[H1241] and three[H7969] thousand[H505] sheep.[H6629]

34. But[H7535] the priests[H3548] were[H1961] too few,[H4592] so that they could[H3201] not[H3808] flay[H6584] [H853] all[H3605] the burnt offerings:[H5930] wherefore their brethren[H251] the Levites[H3881] did help[H2388] them, till[H5704] the work[H4399] was ended,[H3615] and until[H5704] the other priests[H3548] had sanctified themselves:[H6942] for[H3588] the Levites[H3881] were more upright[H3477] in heart[H3824] to sanctify themselves[H6942] than the priests.[H4480] [H3548]

35. And also[H1571] the burnt offerings[H5930] were in abundance,[H7230] with the fat[H2459] of the peace offerings,[H8002] and the drink offerings[H5262] for every burnt offering.[H5930] So the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] was set in order.[H3559]

36. And Hezekiah[H3169] rejoiced,[H8055] and all[H3605] the people,[H5971] that[H5921] God[H430] had prepared[H3559] the people:[H5971] for[H3588] the thing[H1697] was[H1961] done suddenly.[H6597]
