2 Chronicles 29

1 Hezekiah his good reign. 3 He restoreth religion. 5 He exhorteth the Levites. 12 They sanctify themselves, and cleanse the house of God. 20 Hezekiah offereth solemn sacrifices, wherein the Levites were more forward than the priests.

 29:1 ¶ Hezekiah 3169 began to reign 4427 z8804 [when he was] five 2568 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old, 1121 and he reigned 4427 z8804 nine 8672 and twenty 6242 years 8141 in Jerusalem. 3389 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Abijah, 29 the daughter 1323 of Zechariah. 2148

 29:2 And he did 6213 z8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 according to all x3605 that x834 David 1732 his father 1 had done. 6213 z8804

 29:3 ¶ He x1931 in the first 7223 year 8141 of his reign, 4427 z8800 in the first 7223 month, 2320 opened 6605 z8804 x853 the doors 1817 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and repaired 2388 z8762 them.

 29:4 And he brought in 935 z8686 x853 the priests 3548 and the Levites, 3881 and gathered them together 622 z8799 into the east 4217 street, 7339

 29:5 And said 559 z8799 unto them, Hear 8085 z8798 me, ye Levites, 3881 sanctify y6942 z8690 now yourselves, x6942 x6258 and sanctify 6942 z8761 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers, 1 and carry forth 3318 z8685 x853 the filthiness 5079 out of x4480 the holy 6944 [place].

 29:6 For x3588 our fathers 1 have trespassed, 4603 z8804 and done 6213 z8804 [that which was] evil 7451 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 our God, 430 and have forsaken 5800 z8799 him, and have turned away 5437 z8686 their faces 6440 from the habitation 4908 x4480 of the LORD, 3068 and turned 5414 z8799 [their] backs. 6203

 29:7 Also x1571 they have shut up 5462 z8804 the doors 1817 of the porch, 197 and put out 3518 z8762 x853 the lamps, 5216 and have not x3808 burned 6999 z8689 incense 7004 nor x3808 offered 5927 z8689 burnt offerings 5930 in the holy 6944 [place] unto the God 430 of Israel. 3478

 29:8 Wherefore the wrath 7110 of the LORD 3068 was x1961 upon x5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem, 3389 and he hath delivered 5414 z8799 them to trouble, 2189 z8675 y2113 to astonishment, 8047 and to hissing, 8322 as x834 ye x859 see 7200 z8802 with your eyes. 5869

 29:9 For, lo, x2009 our fathers 1 have fallen 5307 z8804 by the sword, 2719 and our sons 1121 and our daughters 1323 and our wives 802 [are] in captivity 7628 for x5921 this. x2063

 29:10 Now x6258 [it is] in x5973 mine heart 3824 to make 3772 z8800 a covenant 1285 with the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 that his fierce 2740 wrath 639 may turn away 7725 z8799 from x4480 us.

 29:11 My sons, 1121 be not x408 now x6258 negligent: 7952 z8735 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath chosen 977 z8804 you to stand 5975 z8800 before 6440 him, to serve 8334 z8763 him, and that ye should minister 8334 z8764 x1961 unto him, and burn incense. 6999 z8688

 29:12 ¶ Then the Levites 3881 arose, 6965 z8799 Mahath 4287 the son 1121 of Amasai, 6022 and Joel 3100 the son 1121 of Azariah, 5838 of x4480 the sons 1121 of the Kohathites: 6956 and of x4480 the sons 1121 of Merari, 4847 Kish 7027 the son 1121 of Abdi, 5660 and Azariah 5838 the son 1121 of Jehalelel: 3094 and of x4480 the Gershonites; 1649 Joah 3098 the son 1121 of Zimmah, 2155 and Eden 5731 the son 1121 of Joah: 3098

 29:13 And of x4480 the sons 1121 of Elizaphan; 469 Shimri, 8113 and Jeiel: 3273 and of x4480 the sons 1121 of Asaph; 623 Zechariah, 2148 and Mattaniah: 4983

 29:14 And of x4480 the sons 1121 of Heman; 1968 Jehiel, 3171 and Shimei: 8096 and of x4480 the sons 1121 of Jeduthun; 3038 Shemaiah, 8098 and Uzziel. 5816

 29:15 And they gathered 622 z8799 x853 their brethren, 251 and sanctified y6942 z8691 themselves, x6942 and came, 935 z8799 according to the commandment 4687 of the king, 4428 by the words 1697 of the LORD, 3068 to cleanse 2891 z8763 the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 29:16 And the priests 3548 went 935 z8799 into the inner part 6441 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 to cleanse 2891 z8763 [it], and brought out 3318 z8686 x853 all x3605 the uncleanness 2932 that x834 they found 4672 z8804 in the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068 into the court 2691 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068 And the Levites 3881 took 6901 z8762 [it], to carry [it] out 3318 z8687 abroad 2351 into the brook 5158 Kidron. 6939

 29:17 Now they began 2490 z8686 on the first 259 [day] of the first 7223 month 2320 to sanctify, 6942 z8763 and on the eighth 8083 day 3117 of the month 2320 came 935 z8804 they to the porch 197 of the LORD: 3068 so they sanctified 6942 z8762 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 in eight 8083 days; 3117 and in the sixteenth 8337 6240 day x3117 of the first 7223 month 2320 they made an end. 3615 z8765

 29:18 Then they went 935 z8799 in 6441 to x413 Hezekiah 2396 the king, 4428 and said, 559 z8799 We have cleansed 2891 z8765 x853 all x3605 the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the altar 4196 of burnt offering, 5930 with all x3605 the vessels 3627 thereof, and the shewbread 4635 table, 7979 with x853 all x3605 the vessels 3627 thereof.

 29:19 Moreover all x3605 the vessels, 3627 which x834 king 4428 Ahaz 271 in his reign 4438 did cast away 2186 z8689 in his transgression, 4604 have we prepared 3559 z8689 and sanctified, 6942 z8689 and, behold, x2009 they [are] before 6440 the altar 4196 of the LORD. 3068

 29:20 ¶ Then Hezekiah 3169 the king 4428 rose early, 7925 z8686 and gathered 622 z8799 x853 the rulers 8269 of the city, 5892 and went up 5927 z8799 to the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 29:21 And they brought 935 z8686 seven 7651 bullocks, 6499 and seven 7651 rams, 352 and seven 7651 lambs, 3532 and seven 7651 he y6842 goats, 5795 x6842 for a sin offering 2403 for x5921 the kingdom, 4467 and for x5921 the sanctuary, 4720 and for x5921 Judah. 3063 And he commanded 559 z8799 the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 to offer 5927 z8687 [them] on x5921 the altar 4196 of the LORD. 3068

 29:22 So they killed 7819 z8799 the bullocks, 1241 and the priests 3548 received 6901 z8762 x853 the blood, 1818 and sprinkled 2236 z8799 [it] on the altar: 4196 likewise, when they had killed 7819 z8799 the rams, 352 they sprinkled 2236 z8799 the blood 1818 upon the altar: 4196 they killed 7819 z8799 also the lambs, 3532 and they sprinkled 2236 z8799 the blood 1818 upon the altar. 4196

 29:23 And they brought forth 5066 z8686 x853 the he goats 8163 [for] the sin offering 2403 before 6440 the king 4428 and the congregation; 6951 and they laid 5564 z8799 their hands 3027 upon x5921 them:

 29:24 And the priests 3548 killed 7819 z8799 them, and they made reconciliation 2398 z8762 with x854 their blood 1818 upon the altar, 4196 to make an atonement 3722 z8763 for x5921 all x3605 Israel: 3478 for x3588 the king 4428 commanded 559 z8804 [that] the burnt offering 5930 and the sin offering 2403 [should be made] for all x3605 Israel. 3478

 29:25 And he set 5975 z8686 x853 the Levites 3881 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 with cymbals, 4700 with psalteries, 5035 and with harps, 3658 according to the commandment 4687 of David, 1732 and of Gad 1410 the king's 4428 seer, 2374 and Nathan 5416 the prophet: 5030 for x3588 [so was] the commandment 4687 of y3027 the LORD 3068 by 3027 his prophets. 5030

 29:26 And the Levites 3881 stood 5975 z8799 with the instruments 3627 of David, 1732 and the priests 3548 with the trumpets. 2689

 29:27 And Hezekiah 2396 commanded 559 z8799 to offer 5927 z8687 the burnt offering 5930 upon the altar. 4196 And when 6256 the burnt offering 5930 began, 2490 z8689 the song 7892 of the LORD 3068 began 2490 z8689 [also] with the trumpets, 2689 and with x5921 the instruments 3627 x3027 [ordained] by y3027 David 1732 king 4428 of Israel. 3478

 29:28 And all x3605 the congregation 6951 worshipped, 7812 z8693 and the singers 7892 sang, 7891 z8789 and the trumpeters 2689 sounded: 2690 z8688 z8675 z8764 [and] all x3605 [this continued] until x5704 the burnt offering 5930 was finished. 3615 z8800

 29:29 And when they had made an end 3615 z8763 of offering, 5927 z8687 the king 4428 and all x3605 that were present 4672 z8737 with x854 him bowed 3766 z8804 themselves, and worshipped. 7812 z8691

 29:30 Moreover Hezekiah 3169 the king 4428 and the princes 8269 commanded 559 z8799 the Levites 3881 to sing praise 1984 z8763 unto the LORD 3068 with the words 1697 of David, 1732 and of Asaph 623 the seer. 2374 And they sang praises 1984 z8762 with x5704 gladness, 8057 and they bowed their heads 6915 z8799 and worshipped. 7812 z8691

 29:31 Then Hezekiah 3169 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 Now x6258 ye have consecrated 4390 3027 z8765 yourselves unto the LORD, 3068 come near 5066 z8798 and bring 935 z8685 sacrifices 2077 and thank offerings 8426 into the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068 And the congregation 6951 brought in 935 z8686 sacrifices 2077 and thank offerings; 8426 and as many as x3605 were of a free 5081 heart 3820 burnt offerings. 5930

 29:32 And the number 4557 of the burnt offerings, 5930 which x834 the congregation 6951 brought, 935 z8689 was x1961 threescore and ten 7657 bullocks, 1241 an hundred 3967 rams, 352 [and] two hundred 3967 lambs: 3532 all x3605 these x428 [were] for a burnt offering 5930 to the LORD. 3068

 29:33 And the consecrated things 6944 [were] six 8337 hundred 3967 oxen 1241 and three 7969 thousand 505 sheep. 6629

 29:34 But x7535 the priests 3548 were x1961 too few, 4592 so that they could 3201 z8804 not x3808 flay 6584 z8687 x853 all x3605 the burnt offerings: 5930 wherefore their brethren 251 the Levites 3881 did help 2388 z8762 them, till x5704 the work 4399 was ended, 3615 z8800 and until x5704 the [other] priests 3548 had sanctified y6942 z8691 themselves: x6942 for x3588 the Levites 3881 [were] more upright 3477 in heart 3824 to sanctify y6942 z8692 themselves x6942 than the priests. 3548 x4480

 29:35 And also x1571 the burnt offerings 5930 [were] in abundance, 7230 with the fat 2459 of the peace offerings, 8002 and the drink offerings 5262 for [every] burnt offering. 5930 So the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 was set in order. 3559 z8735

 29:36 And Hezekiah 3169 rejoiced, 8055 z8799 and all x3605 the people, 5971 that x5921 God 430 had prepared 3559 z8689 the people: 5971 for x3588 the thing 1697 was x1961 [done] suddenly. 6597
