2 Kings 23

Wycliffe WYC

1 which king sent, and all the eld men of Judah, and of Jerusalem, were gathered to him. (and the king sent for all the elders of Judah, and of Jerusalem, and they were gathered unto him.)

2 And the king went up into the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the men that dwelled in Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people from little unto great; and the king read, while all men heard, all the words of the book of [the] bond of peace of the Lord, the which was found in the house of the Lord. (And the king went up into the Temple of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the men who lived in Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people from the little unto the great; and the king read, while all the men listened, all the words of The Book of the Covenant of the Lord, which had been found in the House of the Lord.)

3 And the king stood on the degrees; and smote a bond of peace before the Lord, that they would go after the Lord, and keep his commandments and witnessings and ceremonies in all their heart and in all their soul, and that they should raise up the words of this bond of peace, that were written in that book; and the people assented to the covenant. (And the king stood on the steps; and struck a covenant before the Lord, that they would follow the Lord, and keep his commandments and testimonies and statutes, with all their heart and with all their soul, and that they would raise up the words of this covenant that were written in that book; and the people agreed to the covenant.)

4 And the king commanded to Hilkiah, the bishop, and to the priests of the second order, and to the porters, that they should cast out of the temple [of the Lord] all the vessels, that were made to Baal, and in the maumet wood, and to all the knighthood of (the) heaven(s); and he burnt those vessels without Jerusalem, in the even valley of Kidron, and he bare the powder of those vessels into Bethel. (And the king commanded to the High Priest Hilkiah, and to the priests of the second order, and to the guards, that they should throw out of the Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned those vessels outside Jerusalem, in the Kidron Valley, and he brought the powder of those vessels to Bethel.

5 And he did away [the] false diviners, which the kings of Judah had set to make sacrifice in (the) high things by the cities of Judah, and in the compass of Jerusalem; and he did away them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to (the) twelve signs, and to all the knighthood of (the) heaven(s). (And he did away the false diviners, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to make sacrifice in the hill shrines in the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem; and he did away those who burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, yea, to all the host of heaven.)

6 And the king made the wood of maumetry to be borne out of the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, in(to) the even valley of Kidron, and he burnt it there; and he drove it into powder, and casted it forth upon the sepulchres of the common people. (And the king ordered the sacred pole of that idol, or that false god, Asherah to be taken out of the House of the Lord, and out of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and he burned it there; and he drove it down into powder, and threw it forth onto the tombs, or the graves, of the common people.)

7 Also he destroyed the little houses of [the] womanish men, the which houses were in the house of the Lord; for the which houses women weaved, or wattled, as little houses of the wood. (And he destroyed the little houses of the male whores of the Temple, which houses were attached to the House of the Lord; and where women weaved, or wattled, vestments used in honouring and worshipping Asherah.)

8 And he gathered all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defouled the high things, where the priests made sacrifice, from Geba unto Beersheba; and he destroyed the altars of the gates (that were) in the entering of the door of Joshua, (who was the) prince of a city, which door was at the left half of the gate of the city. (And he gathered all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defiled the hill shrines, where the priests made sacrifice, from Geba unto Beersheba; and he destroyed the altars of the demons that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, who was the ruler of the city, which gate was on the left side of the city gate.)

9 Nevertheless the priests of [the] high things went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but only they ate therf loaves in the midst of their brethren. (Now the priests of the hill shrines did not go up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat the unleavened bread in the midst of their kinsmen.)

10 Also he defouled Topheth, which is in the even valley of the son of Hinnom, (so) that no man should hallow his son either his daughter by fire to Moloch. (And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, so that no man would sacrifice his son or his daughter in the fire to Moloch.)

11 Also he did away [the] horses, that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, in the entering of the temple of the Lord, beside the chamber of Nathanmelech, the gelding, that was in (the) Parvarim, (that is, the suburbs, or the living quarters); forsooth he burnt by fire the chariots of the sun. (And he did away the horses, that the kings of Judah had erected to the sun, at the entrance to the Temple of the Lord, beside the chamber of Nathanmelech, the eunuch, that was in the Parvarim, that is, in the suburbs, or the living quarters; and he burned up the chariots of the sun.)

12 Also the king destroyed the altars, that were on the roofs of the solar of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made; and the king destroyed the altars, which Manasseh had made in the two great places of the temple of the Lord; and he ran from thence, and scattered the ashes of those altars into the strand of Kidron. (And the king destroyed the altars that were on the roof of the solarium of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made; and the king destroyed the altars which Manasseh had made in the two great courtyards of the Temple of the Lord; and he went from there, and scattered the ashes of those altars in the Kidron Valley.)

13 Also the king defouled the high things, that were in Jerusalem at the right half of the hill of offence, that is, the hill of Olivet, which Solomon, king of Israel, had builded to Ashtoreth, the idol of Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offence of Moab, and to Malcham, the abomination of the sons of Ammon; (And the king defiled the hill shrines that were east of Jerusalem, on the right side of the hill of offence, that is, south of the Mount of Olives, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built for Ashtoreth, the false god of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh, the offensive god of Moab, and for Milcom, the abominable god of the Ammonites;)

14 and he all-brake [the] images, and cutted down (the) [maumet] woods (and cut down the sacred poles of Asherah), and filled the places of those with the bones of dead men

15 Furthermore also he destroyed the altar that was in Bethel, and the high solemn thing, which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had made, that made Israel to do sin; and he destroyed that high altar, and burnt it, and all-brake it into powder, and cutted down also the [maumet] wood. (And furthermore he destroyed the altar that was in Bethel, and the hill shrine, which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had made, who had made Israel to do sin; and he destroyed that high altar, and burned it, and broke it all into powder, and also cut down the sacred pole of Asherah.)

16 And Josiah turned, and saw there sepulchres that were in the hill; and he sent, and took the bones from the sepulchres, and burnt those on the altar, and defouled it, after the word of the Lord, that the man of God spake, that before-said these words. (And Josiah turned, and saw the tombs, or the graves, that were there on the hill; and he sent for, and took all the bones from those tombs, or those graves, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, after the word of the Lord, that the man of God spoke, who foretold these things.)

17 And the king said, What is this burial, that I see? [Whose is this tomb that I see?] And the citizens of that city answered to him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, that came from Judah, and before-said these words (and foretold these things), which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.

18 And the king said, Suffer ye him (Do not ye touch him); no man move his bones. And (so) his bones dwelled untouched with the bones of the prophet, that came from Samaria.

19 Furthermore also Josiah did away all the temples of [the] high things, that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to stir the Lord to ire; and he did to those temples by all things which he had done in Bethel. (And furthermore Josiah did away all the temples of the hill shrines that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had built, and had so stirred the Lord to anger; and he did to those temples all the things which he had done to the temples in Bethel.

20 And he killed all the priests of [the] high things, that were there upon the altars, and he burnt men's bones on those altars; and he turned again to Jerusalem; (And he killed all the priests of the hill shrines, who were there at the altars, and he burned the bones of people upon those altars; and then he returned to Jerusalem;)

21 and he commanded to all the people, and said, Make ye pask to the Lord your God, after that, that is written in the book of this bond of peace. (and he commanded to all the people, and said, Keep ye the Passover to the Lord your God, after what is written in this Book of the Covenant.

22 Certainly such a pask was not made, from the days of judges that deemed Israel, and of all the days of the kings of Israel, and of Judah, (Certainly such a Passover was not kept, from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, or of Judah,)

23 as this pask (that) was made to the Lord in Jerusalem in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.

24 But also Josiah did away men having fiends speaking in their wombs, and false diviners in altars, and he did away the figures of idols, and all [the] uncleannesses, and [the] abominations, that were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he should do the words of the law, that were written in the book, that Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord. (And Josiah also did away men having fiends speaking in their wombs, and false diviners at altars, and the figures of idols, and all the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, so that he would do all the words of the Law, that were written in the book that the High Priest Hilkiah had found in the Temple of the Lord.)

25 No king before him was like him, that turned again to the Lord in all his heart, and in all his soul, and in all his strength, after all the law of Moses; neither after him rose (up) any like him. (There was no king like him before him, who had turned again to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, after all the Law of Moses; nor did there rise up any king like him after him.)

26 Nevertheless the Lord was not turned away from the ire of his great vengeance, by which his strong vengeance was wroth against Judah, for the stirrings to ire by which Manasseh had stirred him to ire.

27 Therefore the Lord said, I shall do away also Judah from my face, as I did away Israel; and I shall cast away this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. (And so the Lord said, I shall also do away Judah from before me, as I did away Israel; and I shall throw away this city of Jerusalem, which I chose, and the House of which I said, My name shall always be there.)

28 Forsooth the residue of the words of Josiah, and all things that he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah?

29 In the days of Josiah, Pharaoh Necho, the king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyrians, to the flood Euphrates; and Josiah, king of Judah, went into the meeting of Pharaoh, to forbid him to pass through Judah; and Josiah was slain in Megiddo, when he had seen Pharaoh. (In the days of Josiah, Pharaoh Necho, the king of Egypt, went up to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria; and Josiah, the king of Judah, went out against Pharaoh, to forbid him to pass through Judah; and Josiah was killed at Megiddo, when he met Pharaoh in battle.)

30 And his servants bare him dead from Megiddo, and brought him into Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre; and the people of the land took Jehoahaz , the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king for his father (and made him king in place of his father).

31 Jehoahaz was of three and twenty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremy of Libnah.

32 And he did evil before the Lord, by all things which his fathers had done.

33 And Pharaoh Necho bound him in prison in Riblah, that is in the land of Hamath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and Pharaoh set a pain, either a fine, to the land of Judah, in an hundred talents of silver, and in one talent of gold (and Pharaoh put a fine on the land of Judah, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold).

34 And Pharaoh Necho made king Eliakim, the son of Josiah, for Josiah, his father; and he turned the name of him to Jehoiakim; forsooth Pharaoh took Jehoahaz, and led him into Egypt, (and he died there). (And Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim, Josiah's son, to be king in place of his father; and he changed his name to Jehoiakim; but Pharaoh took away Jehoahaz, and led him into Egypt, and he died there.)

35 Soothly Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had commanded to the land by all years, that it should be brought, by the commandment of Pharaoh; and Jehoiakim raised of each man by his mights, or after his power, both silver and gold, of the people of the land, that he should give to Pharaoh Necho. (And Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh, in all the years that he commanded over the land, that it should be brought in, by Pharaoh's commandment; and Jehoiakim raised both the silver, and the gold, from the people of the land, yea, out of each man's own wealth, so that he could pay it to Pharaoh Necho.)

36 Jehoiakim was of five and twenty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah

37 And he did evil before the Lord, by all things which his fathers had done.

1 et renuntiaverunt regi quod dixerat qui misit et congregati sunt ad eum omnes senes Iuda et Hierusalem

2 ascenditque rex templum Domini et omnes viri Iuda universique qui habitant in Hierusalem cum eo sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum legitque cunctis audientibus omnia verba libri foederis qui inventus est in domo Domini

3 stetitque rex super gradum et percussit foedus coram Domino ut ambularent post Dominum et custodirent praecepta eius et testimonia et caerimonias in omni corde et in tota anima et suscitarent verba foederis huius quae scripta erant in libro illo adquievitque populus pacto

4 et praecepit rex Helciae pontifici et sacerdotibus secundi ordinis et ianitoribus ut proicerent de templo Domini omnia vasa quae facta fuerant Baal et in luco et universae militiae caeli et conbusit ea foris Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et tulit pulverem eorum in Bethe

5 et delevit aruspices quos posuerant reges Iuda ad sacrificandum in excelsis per civitates Iuda et in circuitu Hierusalem et eos qui adolebant incensum Baal et soli et lunae et duodecim signis et omni militiae caeli

6 et efferri fecit lucum de domo Domini foras Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et conbusit eum ibi et redegit in pulverem et proiecit super sepulchrum vulgi

7 destruxit quoque aediculas effeminatorum quae erant in domo Domini pro quibus mulieres texebant quasi domunculas luci

8 congregavitque omnes sacerdotes de civitatibus Iuda et contaminavit excelsa ubi sacrificabant sacerdotes de Gabaa usque Bersabee et destruxit aras portarum in introitu ostii Iosue principis civitatis quod erat ad sinistram portae civitatis

9 verumtamen non ascendebant sacerdotes excelsorum ad altare Domini in Hierusalem sed tantum comedebant azyma in medio fratrum suorum

10 contaminavit quoque Thafeth quod est in convalle filii Ennom ut nemo consecraret filium suum aut filiam per ignem Moloch

11 abstulit quoque equos quos dederant reges Iudae soli in introitu templi Domini iuxta exedram Nathanmelech eunuchi qui erat in Farurim currus autem solis conbusit igni

12 altaria quoque quae erant super tecta cenaculi Ahaz quae fecerant reges Iuda et altaria quae fecerat Manasses in duobus atriis templi Domini destruxit rex et cucurrit inde et dispersit cinerem eorum in torrentem Cedron

13 excelsa quoque quae erant in Hierusalem ad dexteram partem montis Offensionis quae aedificaverat Salomon rex Israhel Astharoth idolo Sidoniorum et Chamos offensioni Moab et Melchom abominationi filiorum Ammon polluit rex

14 et contrivit statuas et succidit lucos replevitque loca eorum ossibus mortuoru

15 insuper et altare quod erat in Bethel excelsum quod fecerat Hieroboam filius Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel et altare illud et excelsum destruxit atque conbusit et comminuit in pulverem succenditque etiam lucum

16 et conversus Iosias vidit ibi sepulchra quae erant in monte misitque et tulit ossa de sepulchris et conbusit ea super altare et polluit illud iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus est vir Dei qui praedixerat verba haec

17 et ait quis est titulus ille quem video responderuntque ei cives illius urbis sepulchrum est hominis Dei qui venit de Iuda et praedixit verba haec quae fecisti super altare Bethel

18 et ait dimittite eum nemo commoveat ossa eius et intacta manserunt ossa illius cum ossibus prophetae qui venerat de Samaria

19 insuper et omnia fana excelsorum quae erant in civitatibus Samariae quae fecerant reges Israhel ad inritandum Dominum abstulit Iosias et fecit eis secundum omnia opera quae fecerat in Bethe

20 et occidit universos sacerdotes excelsorum qui erant ibi super altaria et conbusit ossa humana super ea reversusque est Hierusalem

21 et praecepit omni populo dicens facite phase Domino Deo vestro secundum quod scriptum est in libro foederis huiu

22 nec enim factum est phase tale a diebus iudicum qui iudicaverunt Israhel et omnium dierum regum Israhel et regum Iuda

23 sicut in octavodecimo anno regis Iosiae factum est phase istud Domino in Hierusalem

24 sed et pythones et ariolos et figuras idolorum et inmunditias abominationesque quae fuerant in terra Iuda et in Hierusalem abstulit Iosias ut statueret verba legis quae scripta sunt in libro quem invenit Helcias sacerdos in templo Domini

25 similis illi non fuit ante eum rex qui reverteretur ad Dominum in omni corde suo et in tota anima sua et in universa virtute sua iuxta omnem legem Mosi neque post eum surrexit similis illi

26 verumtamen non est aversus Dominus ab ira furoris sui magni quo iratus est furor eius contra Iudam propter inritationes quibus provocaverat eum Manasses

27 dixit itaque Dominus etiam Iudam auferam a facie mea sicut abstuli Israhel et proiciam civitatem hanc quam elegi Hierusalem et domum de qua dixi erit nomen meum ibi

28 reliqua autem verba Iosiae et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda

29 in diebus eius ascendit Pharao Necho rex Aegypti contra regem Assyriorum ad flumen Eufraten et abiit Iosias rex in occursum eius et occisus est in Mageddo cum vidisset eum

30 et portaverunt eum servi sui mortuum de Mageddo et pertulerunt in Hierusalem et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo tulitque populus terrae Ioahaz filium Iosiae et unxerunt eum et constituerunt eum regem pro patre suo

31 viginti trium annorum erat Ioahaz cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna

32 et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius

33 vinxitque eum Pharao Necho in Rebla quae est in terra Emath ne regnaret in Hierusalem et inposuit multam terrae centum talentis argenti et talento auri

34 regemque constituit Pharao Necho Eliachim filium Iosiae pro Iosia patre eius vertitque nomen eius Ioiachim porro Ioahaz tulit et duxit in Aegyptum

35 argentum autem et aurum dedit Ioiachim Pharaoni cum indixisset terrae per singulos ut conferretur iuxta praeceptum Pharaonis et unumquemque secundum vires suas exegit tam argentum quam aurum de populo terrae ut daret Pharaoni Necho

36 viginti quinque annorum erat Ioiachim cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Zebida filia Phadaia de Rum

37 et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius
