2nd Chronicles Chapter 29 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Hezekiah <H3169> began to reign <H4427> [when he was] five <H2568> and twenty <H6242> years <H8141> old, <H1121> and he reigned <H4427> nine <H8672> and twenty <H6242> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Abijah, <H0029> the daughter <H1323> of Zechariah. <H2148>
2: And he did <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> according to all that David <H1732> his father <H0001> had done. <H6213>
3: He in the first <H7223> year <H8141> of his reign, <H4427> in the first <H7223> month, <H2320> opened <H6605> the doors <H1817> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and repaired <H2388> them.
4: And he brought in <H0935> the priests <H3548> and the Levites, <H3881> and gathered <H0622> them together into the east <H4217> street, <H7339>
5: And said <H0559> unto them, Hear <H8085> me, ye Levites, <H3881> sanctify <H6942> now yourselves, and sanctify <H6942> the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of your fathers, <H0001> and carry forth <H3318> the filthiness <H5079> out of the holy <H6944> [place].
6: For our fathers <H0001> have trespassed, <H4603> and done <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the eyes <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> our God, <H0430> and have forsaken <H5800> him, and have turned away <H5437> their faces <H6440> from the habitation <H4908> of the LORD, <H3068> and turned <H5414> [their] backs. <H6203>
7: Also they have shut up <H5462> the doors <H1817> of the porch, <H0197> and put out <H3518> the lamps, <H5216> and have not burned <H6999> incense <H7004> nor offered <H5927> burnt offerings <H5930> in the holy <H6944> [place] unto the God <H0430> of Israel. <H3478>
8: Wherefore the wrath <H7110> of the LORD <H3068> was upon Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> and he hath delivered <H5414> them to trouble, <H2189> <H2113> to astonishment, <H8047> and to hissing, <H8322> as ye see <H7200> with your eyes. <H5869>
9: For, lo, our fathers <H0001> have fallen <H5307> by the sword, <H2719> and our sons <H1121> and our daughters <H1323> and our wives <H0802> [are] in captivity <H7628> for this.
10: Now [it is] in mine heart <H3824> to make <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> that his fierce <H2740> wrath <H0639> may turn away <H7725> from us.
11: My sons, <H1121> be not now negligent: <H7952> for the LORD <H3068> hath chosen <H0977> you to stand <H5975> before <H6440> him, to serve <H8334> him, and that ye should minister <H8334> unto him, and burn incense. <H6999>
12: Then the Levites <H3881> arose, <H6965> Mahath <H4287> the son <H1121> of Amasai, <H6022> and Joel <H3100> the son <H1121> of Azariah, <H5838> of the sons <H1121> of the Kohathites: <H6956> and of the sons <H1121> of Merari, <H4847> Kish <H7027> the son <H1121> of Abdi, <H5660> and Azariah <H5838> the son <H1121> of Jehalelel: <H3094> and of the Gershonites; <H1649> Joah <H3098> the son <H1121> of Zimmah, <H2155> and Eden <H5731> the son <H1121> of Joah: <H3098>
13: And of the sons <H1121> of Elizaphan; <H0469> Shimri, <H8113> and Jeiel: <H3273> and of the sons <H1121> of Asaph; <H0623> Zechariah, <H2148> and Mattaniah: <H4983>
14: And of the sons <H1121> of Heman; <H1968> Jehiel, <H3171> and Shimei: <H8096> and of the sons <H1121> of Jeduthun; <H3038> Shemaiah, <H8098> and Uzziel. <H5816>
15: And they gathered <H0622> their brethren, <H0251> and sanctified <H6942> themselves, and came, <H0935> according to the commandment <H4687> of the king, <H4428> by the words <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> to cleanse <H2891> the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
16: And the priests <H3548> went <H0935> into the inner part <H6441> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> to cleanse <H2891> [it], and brought out <H3318> all the uncleanness <H2932> that they found <H4672> in the temple <H1964> of the LORD <H3068> into the court <H2691> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068> And the Levites <H3881> took <H6901> [it], to carry [it] out <H3318> abroad <H2351> into the brook <H5158> Kidron. <H6939>
17: Now they began <H2490> on the first <H0259> [day] of the first <H7223> month <H2320> to sanctify, <H6942> and on the eighth <H8083> day <H3117> of the month <H2320> came <H0935> they to the porch <H0197> of the LORD: <H3068> so they sanctified <H6942> the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> in eight <H8083> days; <H3117> and in the sixteenth <H8337> <H6240> day <H3117> of the first <H7223> month <H2320> they made an end. <H3615>
18: Then they went <H0935> in <H6441> to Hezekiah <H2396> the king, <H4428> and said, <H0559> We have cleansed <H2891> all the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and the altar <H4196> of burnt offering, <H5930> with all the vessels <H3627> thereof, and the shewbread <H4635> table, <H7979> with all the vessels <H3627> thereof.
19: Moreover all the vessels, <H3627> which king <H4428> Ahaz <H0271> in his reign <H4438> did cast away <H2186> in his transgression, <H4604> have we prepared <H3559> and sanctified, <H6942> and, behold, they [are] before <H6440> the altar <H4196> of the LORD. <H3068>
20: Then Hezekiah <H3169> the king <H4428> rose early, <H7925> and gathered <H0622> the rulers <H8269> of the city, <H5892> and went up <H5927> to the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
21: And they brought <H0935> seven <H7651> bullocks, <H6499> and seven <H7651> rams, <H0352> and seven <H7651> lambs, <H3532> and seven <H7651> he <H6842> goats, <H5795> for a sin offering <H2403> for the kingdom, <H4467> and for the sanctuary, <H4720> and for Judah. <H3063> And he commanded <H0559> the priests <H3548> the sons <H1121> of Aaron <H0175> to offer <H5927> [them] on the altar <H4196> of the LORD. <H3068>
22: So they killed <H7819> the bullocks, <H1241> and the priests <H3548> received <H6901> the blood, <H1818> and sprinkled <H2236> [it] on the altar: <H4196> likewise, when they had killed <H7819> the rams, <H0352> they sprinkled <H2236> the blood <H1818> upon the altar: <H4196> they killed <H7819> also the lambs, <H3532> and they sprinkled <H2236> the blood <H1818> upon the altar. <H4196>
23: And they brought forth <H5066> the he goats <H8163> [for] the sin offering <H2403> before <H6440> the king <H4428> and the congregation; <H6951> and they laid <H5564> their hands <H3027> upon them:
24: And the priests <H3548> killed <H7819> them, and they made reconciliation <H2398> with their blood <H1818> upon the altar, <H4196> to make an atonement <H3722> for all Israel: <H3478> for the king <H4428> commanded <H0559> [that] the burnt offering <H5930> and the sin offering <H2403> [should be made] for all Israel. <H3478>
25: And he set <H5975> the Levites <H3881> in the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> with cymbals, <H4700> with psalteries, <H5035> and with harps, <H3658> according to the commandment <H4687> of David, <H1732> and of Gad <H1410> the king's <H4428> seer, <H2374> and Nathan <H5416> the prophet: <H5030> for [so was] the commandment <H4687> <H3027> of the LORD <H3068> by <H3027> his prophets. <H5030>
26: And the Levites <H3881> stood <H5975> with the instruments <H3627> of David, <H1732> and the priests <H3548> with the trumpets. <H2689>
27: And Hezekiah <H2396> commanded <H0559> to offer <H5927> the burnt offering <H5930> upon the altar. <H4196> And when <H6256> the burnt offering <H5930> began, <H2490> the song <H7892> of the LORD <H3068> began <H2490> [also] with the trumpets, <H2689> and with the <H3027> instruments <H3627> [ordained] by David <H1732> king <H4428> of Israel. <H3478>
28: And all the congregation <H6951> worshipped, <H7812> and the singers <H7892> sang, <H7891> and the trumpeters <H2689> sounded: <H2690> [and] all [this continued] until the burnt offering <H5930> was finished. <H3615>
29: And when they had made an end <H3615> of offering, <H5927> the king <H4428> and all that were present <H4672> with him bowed <H3766> themselves, and worshipped. <H7812>
30: Moreover Hezekiah <H3169> the king <H4428> and the princes <H8269> commanded <H0559> the Levites <H3881> to sing praise <H1984> unto the LORD <H3068> with the words <H1697> of David, <H1732> and of Asaph <H0623> the seer. <H2374> And they sang praises <H1984> with gladness, <H8057> and they bowed their heads <H6915> and worshipped. <H7812>
31: Then Hezekiah <H3169> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> Now ye have consecrated <H4390> yourselves <H3027> unto the LORD, <H3068> come near <H5066> and bring <H0935> sacrifices <H2077> and thank offerings <H8426> into the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068> And the congregation <H6951> brought in <H0935> sacrifices <H2077> and thank offerings; <H8426> and as many as were of a free <H5081> heart <H3820> burnt offerings. <H5930>
32: And the number <H4557> of the burnt offerings, <H5930> which the congregation <H6951> brought, <H0935> was threescore and ten <H7657> bullocks, <H1241> an hundred <H3967> rams, <H0352> [and] two hundred <H3967> lambs: <H3532> all these [were] for a burnt offering <H5930> to the LORD. <H3068>
33: And the consecrated things <H6944> [were] six <H8337> hundred <H3967> oxen <H1241> and three <H7969> thousand <H0505> sheep. <H6629>
34: But the priests <H3548> were too few, <H4592> so that they could <H3201> not flay <H6584> all the burnt offerings: <H5930> wherefore their brethren <H0251> the Levites <H3881> did help <H2388> them, till the work <H4399> was ended, <H3615> and until the [other] priests <H3548> had sanctified <H6942> themselves: for the Levites <H3881> [were] more upright <H3477> in heart <H3824> to sanctify <H6942> themselves than the priests. <H3548>
35: And also the burnt offerings <H5930> [were] in abundance, <H7230> with the fat <H2459> of the peace offerings, <H8002> and the drink offerings <H5262> for [every] burnt offering. <H5930> So the service <H5656> of the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> was set in order. <H3559>
36: And Hezekiah <H3169> rejoiced, <H8055> and all the people, <H5971> that God <H0430> had prepared <H3559> the people: <H5971> for the thing <H1697> was [done] suddenly. <H6597>
