And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel - that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke - the idols, and cut down the groves, demolished the high places, - and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and - Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had - utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel - returned to their possessions and cities. - </p> - <p> - 32:2. And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the - Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, - both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and - for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in - the gates of the camp of the Lord. - </p> - <p> - 32:3. And the king's part was, that of his proper substance the - holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the - sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is - written in the law of Moses. - </p> - <p> - 32:4. He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give - to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might - attend to the law of the Lord. - </p> - <p> - 32:5. Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the - children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, - wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things - which the ground bringeth forth. - </p> - <p> - 32:6. Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the - cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and - the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord - their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps. - </p> - <p> - 32:7. In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the - heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them. - </p> - <p> - 32:8. And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, - and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel. - </p> - <p> - 32:9. And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps - lay so. - </p> - <p> - 32:10. Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, - saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of - the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is - left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that - which is left is this great store which thou seest. - </p> - <p> - 32:11. Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house - of the Lord. And when they had done so, - </p> - <p> - 32:12. They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the - tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was - Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second, - </p> - <p> - 32:13. And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and - Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and - Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his - brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias - the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things - appertained. - </p> - <p> - 32:14. But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east - gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the - Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the - holy of holies. - </p> - <p> - 32:15. And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and - Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the - priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, - both little and great: - </p> - <p> - 32:16. Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all - that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was - need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their - courses, day by day. - </p> - <p> - 32:17. To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the - twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies. - </p> - <p> - 32:18. And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their - children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the - things that had been sanctified. - </p> - <p> - 32:19. Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the - suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute - portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites. - </p> - <p> - 32:20. So Ezechias did all things which we have said in all Juda, - and wrought that which was good, and right, and truth, before - the Lord his God, - </p> - <p> - 32:21. In all the service of the house of the Lord according to the - law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his - heart, and he did it and prospered. - </p> +<p> +2 Paralipomenon Chapter 32 +</p> +<p> +Sennacherib invadeth Juda: his army is destroyed by an angel. Ezechias +recovereth from his sickness: his other acts. +</p> +<p> +32:1. After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the +Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, +desiring to take them. +</p> +<p> +32:2. And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole +force of the war was turning against Jerusalem, +</p> +<p> +32:3. He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop +up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they +were all of this mind, +</p> +<p> +32:4. He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up +all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, +saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and find abundance +of water. +</p> +<p> +32:5. He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been +broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he +repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and +shields: +</p> +<p> +32:6. And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he +called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke +to their heart, saying: +</p> +<p> +32:7. Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for +the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: +for there are many more with us than with him. +</p> +<p> +32:8. For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is +our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with +these words of Ezechias king of Juda. +</p> +<p> +32:9. After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to +Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias +king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying: +</p> +<p> +32:10. Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you +trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem? +</p> +<p> +32:11. Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and +thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand +of the king of the Assyrians? +</p> +<p> +32:12. Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, +and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall +worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense? +</p> +<p> +32:13. Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of +the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver +their country out of my hand? +</p> +<p> +32:14. Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers +have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your +God should be able to deliver you out of this hand? +</p> +<p> +32:15. Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain +persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and +kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of +my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you +out of my hand. +</p> +<p> +32:16. And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, +and against Ezechias his servant. +</p> +<p> +32:17. He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God +of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could +not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of +Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand. +</p> +<p> +32:18. Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to +the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten +them, and take the city. +</p> +<p> +32:19. And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of +the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men. +</p> +<p> +32:20. And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, +prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven. +</p> +<p> +32:21. And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the stout men and the +warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and +he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come +into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him +with the sword. +</p> +<p> +32:22. And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out +of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of +all, and gave them treasures on every side. +</p> +<p> +32:23. Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to +Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified +thenceforth in the sight of all nations. +</p> +<p> +32:24. In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to +the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign. +</p> +<p> +32:25. But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had +received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against +him, and against Juda and Jerusalem. +</p> +<p> +32:26. And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been +lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the +wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias. +</p> +<p> +32:27. And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself +great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, +and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price. +</p> +<p> +32:28. Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all +beasts, and folds for cattle. +</p> +<p> +32:29. And he built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and +herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance. +</p> +<p> +32:30. This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the +waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the +city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. +</p> +<p> +32:31. But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent +to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God +left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known +that were in his heart. +</p> +<p> +32:32. Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are +written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. +</p> +<p> +32:33. And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the +sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants +of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his +stead. +</p> <p> 2 Paralipomenon Chapter 33 </p> diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt index 6312041..b5dba15 100644 --- a/LICENSE.txt +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +This book, including all associated images, markup, improvements, metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. @@ -7,5 +7,5 @@ the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org.
