1 Hezekiah 3169 began to reign 4427 when he was five 2568 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121, and he reigned 4427 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.
2 And he did 6213 that which was right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, according to all that David 1732 his father 1 had done 6213.
3 He in the first 7223 year 8141 of his reign 4427, in the first 7223 month 2320, opened 6605 the doors 1817 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and repaired 2388 them.
4 And he brought in 935 the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881, and gathered them together 622 into the east 4217 street 7339,
5 And said 559 unto them, Hear 8085 me, ye Levites 3881, sanctify 6942 now yourselves, and sanctify 6942 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers 1, and carry forth 3318 the filthiness 5079 out of the holy 6944 place.
6 For our fathers 1 have trespassed 4603, and done 6213 that which was evil 7451 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, and have forsaken 5800 him, and have turned away 5437 their faces 6440 from the habitation 4908 of the LORD 3068, and turned 5414 their backs 6203.
7 Also they have shut up 5462 the doors 1817 of the porch 197, and put out 3518 the lamps 5216, and have not burned 6999 incense 7004 nor offered 5927 burnt offerings 5930 in the holy 6944 place unto the God 430 of Israel 3478.
8 Wherefore the wrath 7110 of the LORD 3068 was upon Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389, and he hath delivered 5414 them to trouble 2189 2113, to astonishment 8047, and to hissing 8322, as ye see 7200 with your eyes 5869.
9 For, lo, our fathers 1 have fallen 5307 by the sword 2719, and our sons 1121 and our daughters 1323 and our wives 802 are in captivity 7628 for this.
10 Now it is in mine heart 3824 to make 3772 a covenant 1285 with the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, that his fierce 2740 wrath 639 may turn away 7725 from us.
11 My sons 1121, be not now negligent 7952: for the LORD 3068 hath chosen 977 you to stand 5975 before 6440 him, to serve 8334 him, and that ye should minister 8334 unto him, and burn incense 6999.
12 Then the Levites 3881 arose 6965, Mahath 4287 the son 1121 of Amasai 6022, and Joel 3100 the son 1121 of Azariah 5838, of the sons 1121 of the Kohathites 6956: and of 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 the Gershonites 1649; Joah 3098 the son 1121 of Zimmah 2155, and Eden 5731 the son 1121 of Joah 3098:
13 And of the sons 1121 of Elizaphan 469; Shimri 8113, and Jeiel 3273: and of the sons 1121 of Asaph 623; Zechariah 2148, and Mattaniah 4983:
14 And of the sons 1121 of Heman 1968; Jehiel 3171, and Shimei 8096: and of the sons 1121 of Jeduthun 3038; Shemaiah 8098, and Uzziel 5816.
15 And they gathered 622 their brethren 251, and sanctified 6942 themselves, and came 935, according to the commandment 4687 of the king 4428, by the words 1697 of the LORD 3068, to cleanse 2891 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
16 And the priests 3548 went 935 into the inner part 6441 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, to cleanse 2891 it, and brought out 3318 all the uncleanness 2932 that they found 4672 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 it, to carry it out 3318 abroad 2351 into the brook 5158 Kidron 6939.
17 Now they began 2490 on the first 259 day of the first 7223 month 2320 to sanctify 6942, and on the eighth 8083 day 3117 of the month 2320 came 935 they to the porch 197 of the LORD 3068: so they sanctified 6942 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 in eight 8083 days 3117; and in the sixteenth 8337 6240 day of the first 7223 month 2320 they made an end 3615.
18 Then they went 935 in 6441 to Hezekiah 2396 the king 4428, and said 559, We have cleansed 2891 all the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the altar 4196 of burnt offering 5930, with all the vessels 3627 thereof, and the shewbread 4635 table 7979, with all the vessels 3627 thereof.
19 Moreover all the vessels 3627, which king 4428 Ahaz 271 in his reign 4438 did cast away 2186 in his transgression 4604, have we prepared 3559 and sanctified 6942, and, behold, they are before 6440 the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068.
20 Then Hezekiah 3169 the king 4428 rose early 7925, and gathered 622 the rulers 8269 of the city 5892, and went up 5927 to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
21 And they brought 935 seven 7651 bullocks 6499, and seven 7651 rams 352, and seven 7651 lambs 3532, and seven 7651 he 6842 goats 5795, for a sin offering 2403 for the kingdom 4467, and for the sanctuary 4720, and for Judah 3063. And he commanded 559 the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 to offer 5927 them on the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068.
22 So they killed 7819 the bullocks 1241, and the priests 3548 received 6901 the blood 1818, and sprinkled 2236 it on the altar 4196: likewise, when they had killed 7819 the rams 352, they sprinkled 2236 the blood 1818 upon the altar 4196: they killed 7819 also the lambs 3532, and they sprinkled 2236 the blood 1818 upon the altar 4196.
23 And they brought forth 5066 the he goats 8163 for the sin offering 2403 before 6440 the king 4428 and the congregation 6951; and they laid 5564 their hands 3027 upon them:
24 And the priests 3548 killed 7819 them, and they made reconciliation 2398 with their blood 1818 upon the altar 4196, to make an atonement 3722 for all Israel 3478: for the king 4428 commanded 559 that the burnt offering 5930 and the sin offering 2403 should be made for all Israel 3478.
25 And he set 5975 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 so was the commandment 4687 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 his prophets 5030.
26 And the Levites 3881 stood 5975 with the instruments 3627 of David 1732, and the priests 3548 with the trumpets 2689.
27 And Hezekiah 2396 commanded 559 to offer 5927 the burnt offering 5930 upon the altar 4196. And when 6256 the burnt offering 5930 began 2490, the song 7892 of the LORD 3068 began 2490 also with the trumpets 2689, and with the instruments 3627 ordained by 3027 David 1732 king 4428 of Israel 3478.
28 And all the congregation 6951 worshipped 7812, and the singers 7892 sang 7891, and the trumpeters 2689 sounded 2690 2690: and all this continued until the burnt offering 5930 was finished 3615.
29 And when they had made an end 3615 of offering 5927, the king 4428 and all that were present 4672 with him bowed 3766 themselves, and worshipped 7812.
30 Moreover Hezekiah 3169 the king 4428 and the princes 8269 commanded 559 the Levites 3881 to sing praise 1984 unto the LORD 3068 with the words 1697 of David 1732, and of Asaph 623 the seer 2374. And they sang praises 1984 with gladness 8057, and they bowed their heads 6915 and worshipped 7812.
31 Then Hezekiah 3169 answered 6030 and said 559, Now ye have consecrated 4390 3027 yourselves unto the LORD 3068, come near 5066 and bring 935 sacrifices 2077 and thank offerings 8426 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068. And the congregation 6951 brought in 935 sacrifices 2077 and thank offerings 8426; and as many as were of a free 5081 heart 3820 burnt offerings 5930.
32 And the number 4557 of the burnt offerings 5930, which the congregation 6951 brought 935, was threescore and ten 7657 bullocks 1241, an hundred 3967 rams 352, and two hundred 3967 lambs 3532: all these were for a burnt offering 5930 to the LORD 3068.
33 And the consecrated things 6944 were six 8337 hundred 3967 oxen 1241 and three 7969 thousand 505 sheep 6629.
34 But the priests 3548 were too few 4592, so that they could 3201 not flay 6584 all the burnt offerings 5930: wherefore their brethren 251 the Levites 3881 did help 2388 them, till the work 4399 was ended 3615, and until the other priests 3548 had sanctified 6942 themselves: for the Levites 3881 were more upright 3477 in heart 3824 to sanctify 6942 themselves than the priests 3548.
35 And also 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.
36 And Hezekiah 3169 rejoiced 8055, and all the people 5971, that God 430 had prepared 3559 the people 5971: for the thing 1697 was done suddenly 6597.
