2 Chronicles 28 Text (WEB)
  1. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn't do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, like David his father;
  2. but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
  3. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
  4. He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
  5. Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
  6. For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
  7. Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
  8. The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
  9. But a prophet of Yahweh was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Behold, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
  10. Now you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God?
  11. Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you."
  12. Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
  13. and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."
  14. So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly.
  15. The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
  16. At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
  17. For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
  18. The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.
  19. For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against Yahweh.
  20. Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but didn't strengthen him.
  21. For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it didn't help him.
  22. In the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Yahweh, this same king Ahaz.
  23. For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
  24. Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
  25. In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
  26. Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
  27. Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they didn't bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
2 Chronicles 28 Text (Hebrew)
  1. בן־עשרים שנה אחז במלכו ושש־עשרה שנה מלך בירושלם ולא־עשה הישר בעיני יהוה כדויד אביו׃
  2. וילך בדרכי מלכי ישראל וגם מסכות עשה לבעלים׃
  3. והוא הקטיר בגיא בן־הנם ויבער את־בניו באש כתעבות הגוים אשר הריש יהוה מפני בני ישראל׃
  4. ויזבח ויקטר בבמות ועל־הגבעות ותחת כל־עץ רעןן׃

  6. ויהרג פקח בן־רמליהו ביהודה מאה ועשרים אלף ביום אחד הכל בני־חיל בעזבם את־יהוה אלהי אבותם׃
  7. ויהרג זכרי גבור אפרים את־מעשיהו בן־המלך ואת־עזריקם נגיד הבית ואת־אלקנה משנה המלך׃ ס
  8. וישבו בני־ישראל מאחיהם מאתים אלף נשים בנים ובנות וגם־שלל רב בזזו מהם ויביאו את־השלל לשמרון׃ ס
  9. ושם היה נביא ליהוה עדד שמו ויצא לפני הצבא הבא לשמרון ויאמר להם הנה בחמת יהוה אלהי־אבותיכם על־יהודה נתנם בידכם ותהרגו־בם בזעף עד לשמים הגיע׃
  10. ועתה בני־יהודה וירושלם אתם אמרים לכבש לעבדים ולשפחות לכם הלא רק־אתם עםכם אשמות ליהוה אלהיכם׃
  11. ועתה שמעוני והשיבו השביה אשר שביתם מאחיכם כי חרון אף־יהוה עליכם׃ ס
  12. ויקמו אנשים מראשי בני־אפרים עזריהו בן־יהוחןן ברכיהו בן־משלמות ויחזקיהו בן־שלם ועמשא בן־חדלי על־הבאים מן־הצבא׃
  13. ויאמרו להם לא־תביאו את־השביה הנה כי לאשמת יהוה עלינו אתם אמרים להסיף על־חטאתינו ועל־אשמתינו כי־רבה אשמה לנו וחרון אף על־ישראל׃ ס
  14. ויעזב החלוץ את־השביה ואת־הבזה לפני השרים וכל־הקהל׃
  15. ויקמו האנשים אשר־נקבו בשמות ויחזיקו בשביה וכל־מערמיהם הלבישו מן־השלל וילבשום וינעלום ויאכלום וישקום ויסכום וינהלום בחמרים לכל־כושל ויביאום ירחו עיר־התמרים אצל אחיהם וישובו שמרון׃ ף
  16. בעת ההיא שלח המלך אחז על־מלכי אשור לעזר לו׃
  17. ועוד אדומים באו ויכו ביהודה וישבו־שבי׃

  19. כי־הכניע יהוה את־יהודה בעבור אחז מלך־ישראל כי הפריע ביהודה ומעול מעל ביהוה׃
  20. ויבא עליו תלגת פלנאסר מלך אשור ויצר לו ולא חזקו׃
  21. כי־חלק אחז את־בית יהוה ואת־בית המלך והשרים ויתן למלך אשור ולא לעזרה לו׃
  22. ובעת הצר לו ויוסף למעול ביהוה הוא המלך אחז׃
  23. ויזבח לאלהי דרמשק המכים בו ויאמר כי אלהי מלכי־ארם הם מעזרים אותם להם אזבח ויעזרוני והם היו־לו להכשילו ולכל־ישראל׃
  24. ויאסף אחז את־כלי בית־האלהים ויקץץ את־כלי בית־האלהים ויסגר את־דלתות בית־יהוה ויעש לו מזבחות בכל־פנה בירושלם׃
  25. ובכל־עיר ועיר ליהודה עשה במות לקטר לאלהים אחרים ויכעס את־יהוה אלהי אבתיו׃
  26. ויתר דבריו וכל־דרכיו הראשנים והאחרונים הנם כתובים על־ספר מלכי־יהודה וישראל׃
  27. וישכב אחז עם־אבתיו ויקברהו בעיר בירושלם כי לא הביאהו לקברי מלכי ישראל וימלך יחזקיהו בנו תחתיו׃ ף
2 Chronicles 28 Text (Greek)
  1. υιος εικοσι ετων αχαζ εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και δεκα εξ ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εποιησεν το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου ως δαυιδ ο πατηρ
  2. και επορευθη κατα τας οδους βασιλεων ισραηλ και γαρ γλυπτα εποιησεν τοις ειδωλοις
  3. και εθυεν εν γαιβενενομ και διηγεν τα τεκνα αυτου δια πυρος κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων ων εξωλεθρευσεν κυριος απο προσωπου υιων
  4. και εθυμια επι των υψηλων και επι των δωματων και υποκατω παντος ξυλου
  5. και παρεδωκεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος αυτου δια χειρος βασιλεως συριας και επαταξεν εν αυτω και ηχμαλωτευσεν εξ αυτων αιχμαλωσιαν πολλην και ηγαγεν εις δαμασκον και γαρ εις τας χειρας βασιλεως ισραηλ παρεδωκεν αυτον και επαταξεν εν αυτω πληγην
  6. και απεκτεινεν φακεε ο του ρομελια βασιλευς ισραηλ εν ιουδα εν μια ημερα εκατον εικοσι χιλιαδας ανδρων δυνατων ισχυι εν τω αυτους καταλιπειν τον κυριον θεον των πατερων
  7. και απεκτεινεν εζεκρι ο δυνατος του εφραιμ τον μαασαιαν τον υιον του βασιλεως και τον εσδρικαμ ηγουμενον του οικου αυτου και τον ελκανα τον διαδοχον του
  8. και ηχμαλωτισαν οι υιοι ισραηλ απο των αδελφων αυτων τριακοσιας χιλιαδας γυναικας υιους και θυγατερας και σκυλα πολλα εσκυλευσαν εξ αυτων και ηνεγκαν τα σκυλα εις
  9. και εκει ην ο προφητης του κυριου ωδηδ ονομα αυτω και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν της δυναμεως των ερχομενων εις σαμαρειαν και ειπεν αυτοις ιδου οργη κυριου θεου των πατερων υμων επι τον ιουδαν και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις τας χειρας υμων και απεκτεινατε εν αυτοις εν οργη εως των ουρανων
  10. και νυν υιους ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ υμεις λεγετε κατακτησεσθαι εις δουλους και δουλας ουκ ιδου ειμι μεθ' υμων μαρτυρησαι κυριω θεω
  11. και νυν ακουσατε μου και αποστρεψατε την αιχμαλωσιαν ην ηχμαλωτευσατε των αδελφων υμων οτι οργη θυμου κυριου εφ'
  12. και ανεστησαν αρχοντες απο των υιων εφραιμ ουδια ο του ιωανου και βαραχιας ο του μοσολαμωθ και εζεκιας ο του σελλημ και αμασιας ο του χοδλι επι τους ερχομενους απο του
  13. και ειπαν αυτοις ου μη εισαγαγητε την αιχμαλωσιαν ωδε προς ημας οτι εις το αμαρτανειν τω κυριω εφ' ημας υμεις λεγετε προσθειναι επι ταις αμαρτιαις ημων και επι την αγνοιαν οτι πολλη η αμαρτια ημων και οργη θυμου κυριου επι τον
  14. και αφηκαν οι πολεμισται την αιχμαλωσιαν και τα σκυλα εναντιον των αρχοντων και πασης της
  15. και ανεστησαν ανδρες οι επεκληθησαν εν ονοματι και αντελαβοντο της αιχμαλωσιας και παντας τους γυμνους περιεβαλον απο των σκυλων και ενεδυσαν αυτους και υπεδησαν αυτους και εδωκαν φαγειν και αλειψασθαι και αντελαβοντο εν υποζυγιοις παντος ασθενουντος και κατεστησαν αυτους εις ιεριχω πολιν φοινικων προς τους αδελφους αυτων και επεστρεψαν εις

  17. και εν τουτω οτι ιδουμαιοι επεθεντο και επαταξαν εν ιουδα και ηχμαλωτισαν
  18. και οι αλλοφυλοι επεθεντο επι τας πολεις της πεδινης και απο λιβος του ιουδα και ελαβον την βαιθσαμυς και την αιλων και την γαδηρωθ και την σωχω και τας κωμας αυτης και την θαμνα και τας κωμας αυτης και την γαμζω και τας κωμας αυτης και κατωκησαν

2 Chronicles 28 Text (Latin)
  1. Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare cœpisset : et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Non fecit rectum in conspectu Domini sicut David pater ejus :
  2. sed ambulavit in viis regum Israël, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim.
  3. Ipse est, qui adolevit incensum in valle Benennom, et lustravit filios suos in igne juxta ritum gentium, quas interfecit Dominus in adventu filiorum Israël.
  4. Sacrificabat quoque, et thymiama succendebat in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.
  5. Tradiditque eum Dominus Deus ejus in manu regis Syriæ, qui percussit eum, magnamque prædam cepit de ejus imperio, et adduxit in Damascum : manibus quoque regis Israël traditus est, et percussus plaga grandi.
  6. Occiditque Phacee, filius Romeliæ, de Juda centum viginti millia in die uno, omnes viros bellatores : eo quod reliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
  7. Eodem tempore occidit Zechri, vir potens ex Ephraim, Maasiam filium regis, et Ezricam ducem domus ejus, Elcanam quoque secundum a rege.
  8. Ceperuntque filii Israël de fratribus suis ducenta millia mulierum puerorum, et puellarum, et infinitam prædam : pertuleruntque eam in Samariam.
  9. Ea tempestate erat ibi propheta Domini, nomine Oded : qui egressus obviam exercitui venienti in Samariam, dixit eis : Ecce iratus Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum contra Juda, tradidit eos in manibus vestris, et occidistis eos atrociter, ita ut ad cælum pertingeret vestra crudelitas.
  10. Insuper filios Juda et Jerusalem vultis vobis subjicere in servos et ancillas : quod nequaquam facto opus est : peccastis enim super hoc Domino Deo vestro.
  11. Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos, quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis.
  12. Steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim, Azarias filius Johanam, Barachias filius Mosollamoth, Ezechias filius Sellum, et Amasa filius Adali, contra eos, qui veniebant de prælio,
  13. et dixerunt eis : Non introducetis huc captivos, ne peccemus Domino. Quare vultis adjicere super peccata nostra, et vetera cumulare delicta ? grande quippe peccatum est, et ira furoris Domini imminet super Israël.
  14. Dimiseruntque viri bellatores prædam, et universa quæ ceperant, coram principibus, et omni multitudine.
  15. Steteruntque viri, quos supra memoravimus, et apprehendentes captivos, omnesque qui nudi erant, vestierunt de spoliis : cumque vestissent eos, et calceassent, et refecissent cibo ac potu, unxissentque propter laborem, et adhibuissent eis curam : quicumque ambulare non poterant, et erant imbecillo corpore, imposuerunt eos jumentis, et adduxerunt Jericho civitatem palmarum ad fratres eorum, ipsique reversi sunt in Samariam.
  16. Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium.
  17. Veneruntque Idumæi, et percusserunt multos ex Juda, et ceperunt prædam magnam.
  18. Philisthiim quoque diffusi sunt per urbes campestres, et ad meridiem Juda : ceperuntque Bethsames, et Ajalon, et Gaderoth, Socho quoque, et Thamnan, et Gamzo, cum viculis suis, et habitaverunt in eis.
  19. Humiliaverat enim Dominus Judam propter Achaz regem Juda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum.
  20. Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit.
  21. Igitur Achaz, spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum, ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.
  22. Insuper et tempore angustiæ suæ auxit contemptum in Dominum, ipse per se rex Achaz,
  23. immolavit diis Damasci victimas percussoribus suis, et dixit : Dii regum Syriæ auxiliantur eis, quos ego placabo hostiis, et aderunt mihi, cum e contrario ipsi fuerint ruinæ ei, et universo Israël.
  24. Direptis itaque Achaz omnibus vasis domus Dei, atque confractis, clausit januas templi Dei, et fecit sibi altaria in universis angulis Jerusalem.
  25. In omnibus quoque urbibus Juda exstruxit aras ad cremandum thus, atque ad iracundiam provocavit Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
  26. Reliqua autem sermonum ejus, et omnium operum suorum priorum et novissimorum, scripta sunt in libro regum Juda et Israël.
  27. Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate Jerusalem : neque enim receperunt eum in sepulchra regum Israël. Regnavitque Ezechias filius ejus pro eo.
2 Chronicles 28 Text (KJV)
  1. Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
  2. For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
  3. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
  4. He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
  5. Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
  6. For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
  7. And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.
  8. And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
  9. But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
  10. And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
  11. Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.
  12. Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
  13. And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.
  14. So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
  15. And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.
  16. At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
  17. For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
  18. The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
  19. For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
  20. And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
  21. For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
  22. And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
  23. For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
  24. And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
  25. And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
  26. Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
  27. And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
