2Ki 15:1
In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah
son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2Ki 15:2 Sixteen
years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in
Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
2Ki 15:3 And he
did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that
his father Amaziah had done;
2Ki 15:4 Save that
the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still
on the high places.
2Ki 15:5 And the
LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and
dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house,
judging the people of the land.
2Ki 15:6 And the
rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2Ki 15:7 So
Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the
city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
2Ki 15:8 In the
thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of
Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
2Ki 15:9 And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had
done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin.
2Ki 15:10 And
Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the
people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
2Ki 15:11 And the
rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
2Ki 15:12 This was
the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on
the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
2Ki 15:13 Shallum
the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king
of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
2Ki 15:14 For
Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote
Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
2Ki 15:15 And the
rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
2Ki 15:16 Then
Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof
from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it;
and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
2Ki 15:17 In the
nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi
to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
2Ki 15:18 And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all
his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
2Ki 15:19 And
Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand
talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in
his hand.
2Ki 15:20 And
Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of
wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So
the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
2Ki 15:21 And the
rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2Ki 15:22 And
Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
2Ki 15:23 In the
fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to
reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.
2Ki 15:24 And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
2Ki 15:25 But
Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote
him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and
with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his
room.
2Ki 15:26 And the
rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
2Ki 15:27 In the
two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began
to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
2Ki 15:28 And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
2Ki 15:29 In the
days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took
Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and
Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
2Ki 15:30 And
Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and
smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of
Jotham the son of Uzziah.
2Ki 15:31 And the
rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
2Ki 15:32 In the
second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of
Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
2Ki 15:33 Five and
twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2Ki 15:34 And he
did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to
all that his father Uzziah had done.
2Ki 15:35 Howbeit
the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense
still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.
2Ki 15:36 Now the
rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2Ki 15:37 In those
days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah
the son of Remaliah.
2Ki 15:38 And
Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of
David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
2Ki 16:1
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of
Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
2Ki 16:2 Twenty
years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his
God, like David his father.
2Ki 16:3 But he
walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through
the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out
from before the children of Israel.
2Ki 16:4 And he
sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under
every green tree.
2Ki 16:5 Then
Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to
Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
2Ki 16:6 At that
time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from
Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
2Ki 16:7 So Ahaz
sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy
servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria,
and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.
2Ki 16:8 And Ahaz
took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the
treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of
Assyria.
2Ki 16:9 And the
king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against
Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and
slew Rezin.
2Ki 16:10 And king
Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar
that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the
fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship
thereof.
2Ki 16:11 And
Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from
Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from
Damascus.
2Ki 16:12 And when
the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king
approached to the altar, and offered thereon.
2Ki 16:13 And he
burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering,
and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
2Ki 16:14 And he
brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the
forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and
put it on the north side of the altar.
2Ki 16:15 And king
Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning
burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice,
and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land,
and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all
the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the
brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
2Ki 16:16 Thus did
Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
2Ki 16:17 And king
Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and
took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put
it upon a pavement of stones.
2Ki 16:18 And the
covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry
without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
2Ki 16:19 Now the
rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2Ki 16:20 And Ahaz
slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David:
and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
Act 19:13 Then
certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which
had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus
whom Paul preacheth.
Act 19:14 And
there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so.
Act 19:15 And the
evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Act 19:16 And the
man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and
prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Act 19:17 And this
was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on
them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Act 19:18 And many
that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
Act 19:19 Many of
them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them
before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it
fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Act 19:20 So
mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Act 19:21 After
these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed
through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been
there, I must also see Rome.
Act 19:22 So he
sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and
Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Act 19:23 And the
same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Act 19:24 For a
certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines
for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
Act 19:25 Whom he
called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know
that by this craft we have our wealth.
Act 19:26 Moreover
ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia,
this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no
gods, which are made with hands:
Act 19:27 So that
not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the
temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence
should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Act 19:28 And when
they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out,
saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Act 19:29 And the
whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus,
men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into
the theatre.
Act 19:30 And when
Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Act 19:31 And
certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him
that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
Act 19:32 Some
therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and
the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
Act 19:33 And they
drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And
Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the
people.
Act 19:34 But when
they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours
cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Act 19:35 And when
the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what
man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a
worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down
from Jupiter?
Act 19:36 Seeing
then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to
do nothing rashly.
Act 19:37 For ye
have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet
blasphemers of your goddess.
Act 19:38
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a
matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them
implead one another.
Act 19:39 But if
ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a
lawful assembly.
Act 19:40 For we
are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no
cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
Act 19:41 And when
he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Psa 147:1
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God;
for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
Psa 147:2 The LORD
doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
Psa 147:3 He
healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Psa 147:4 He
telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Psa 147:5 Great is
our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Psa 147:6 The LORD
lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
Psa 147:7 Sing
unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
Psa 147:8 Who
covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh
grass to grow upon the mountains.
Psa 147:9 He
giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
Psa 147:10 He
delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man.
Psa 147:11 The
LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Psa 147:12 Praise
the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
Psa 147:13 For he
hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within
thee.
Psa 147:14 He
maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of
the wheat.
Psa 147:15 He
sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
Psa 147:16 He
giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
Psa 147:17 He
casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
Psa 147:18 He
sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and
the waters flow.
Psa 147:19 He
sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Psa 147:20 He hath
not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not
known them. Praise ye the LORD.
Pro 18:4 The words
of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom
as a flowing brook.
Pro 18:5 It is
not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in
judgment.
