And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],

and they brought thither the first-fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἤνεγκαν ἐκεῖ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς καὶ τὰ ἐπιδέκατα ἐν πίστει· καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπιστάτης Χωνενίας ὁ Λευίτης, καὶ Σεμεῒ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ διαδεχόμενος·
And Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Ὀζίας, καὶ Ναὲθ, καὶ Ἀσαὴλ, καὶ Ἰεριμὼθ, καὶ Ἰωζαβὰδ, καὶ Ἐλιὴλ, καὶ ὁ Σαμαχία, καὶ Μαὰθ, καὶ Βαναΐας, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καθεσταμένοι διὰ Χωνενίου καὶ Σεμεῒ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καθὼς προσέταξεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἀζαρίας ὁ ἡγούμενος οἴκου Κυρίου.
And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first-fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Κορὴ ὁ τοῦ Ἰεμνὰ ὁ Λευίτης ὁ πυλωρὸς κατὰ ἀνατολὰς ἐπὶ τῶν δομάτων, δοῦναι τὰς ἀπαρχὰς Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων,
by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
Greek · Septuagintδιὰ χειρὸς Ὀδὸμ, καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ Ἰησοὺς, καὶ Σεμεῒ, καὶ Ἀμαρίας, καὶ Σεχονίας, διὰ χειρὸς τῶν ἱερέων ἐν πίστει, δοῦναι τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν κατὰ τὰς ἐφημερίας, κατὰ τὸν μέγαν καὶ τὸν μικρὸν,
besides the increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
Greek · Septuagintἐκτὸς τὴς ἐπιγονῆς τῶν ἀρσενικῶν ἀπὸ τριετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, παντὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, εἰς λόγον ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέραν, εἰς λειτουργείαν ἐφημερίαις διατάξεως αὐτῶν·
This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
Greek · SeptuagintΟὗτος ὁ καταλοχισμὸς τῶν ἱερέων κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν· καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ταῖς ἐφημερίαις αὐτῶν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω ἐν διατάξει,
to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
Greek · Septuagintἐγκαταλοχίσαι ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιγονῇ υἱῶν αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρων αὐτῶν εἰς πᾶν πλῆθος, ὅτι ἐν πίστει ἥγνισαν τὸ ἅγιον·
As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office,—even those from their cities, the men in each several city who were named expressly,—[were appointed] to give a portion to every male among the priests, and to every one reckoned among the Levites.
Greek · SeptuagintΤοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν τοῖς ἱερατεύουσι, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἄνδρες οἳ ὠνομάσθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι, δοῦναι μερίδα παντὶ ἀρσενικῷ ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ παντὶ καταριθμουμένῳ ἐν τοῖς Λευίταις.
And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως Ἐζεκίας ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ.
And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, and prospered.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ ᾧ ἤρξατο ἐν ἐργασίᾳ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασιν, ἐξεζήτησε τὸν Θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὅλης ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησε καὶ εὐοδώθη.
And after these things and this faithful dealing, came Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, and he came to Juda, and encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to take them for himself.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μετὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ταύτην ἦλθε Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ παρενέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς τειχήρεις, καὶ εἶπε προκαταλαβέσθαι αὐτάς.
And Ezekias saw that Sennacherim was come, and [that] his face [was set] to fight against Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶδεν Ἐζεκίας ὅτι ἥκει Σενναχηρὶμ, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
And he took counsel with his elders and his mighty [men] to stop the wells of water which were without the city: and they helped him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν δυνατῶν, ἐμφράξαι τὰ ὕδατα τῶν πηγῶν ἃ ἦν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ συνεπίσχυσαν αὐτῷ.
And he collected many people, and stopped the wells of water, and the river that flowed through the city, saying, Lest the king of Assyria come, and find much water, and strengthen [himself].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συνήγαγε λαὸν πολὺν, καὶ ἐνέφραξε τὰ ὕδατα τῶν πηγῶν, καὶ τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν διορίζοντα διὰ τῆς πόλεως, λέγων, μὴ ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ εὕρῃ ὕδωρ πολὺ, καὶ κατισχύσῃ.
And Ezekias strengthened [himself], and built all the wall that had been pulled down, and the towers, and another wall in front without, and fortified the strong place of the city of David, and prepared arms in abundance.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατίσχυσεν Ἐζεκίας, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πᾶν τὸ τεῖχος τὸ κατεσκαμμένον, καὶ πύργους, καὶ ἔξω προτείχισμα ἄλλο, καὶ κατίσχυσε τὸ ἀνάλημμα τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ, καὶ κατεσκεύασεν ὅπλα πολλά.
And he appointed captains of war over the people, and they were gathered to [meet] him to the open place of the gate of the valley, and he encouraged them, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔθετο ἄρχοντας τοῦ πολέμου ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν, καὶ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν πλατεῖαν τῆς πύλης τῆς φάραγγος, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτῶν, λέγων,
Be strong and courageous, and fear not, neither be dismayed before the king of Assyria, and before all the nation that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him.
Greek · Septuagintἰσχύσατε καὶ ἀνδρίζεσθε, καὶ μὴ φοβηθῆτε, μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου βασιλέως Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου παντὸς τοῦ ἔθνους τοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι μεθʼ ἡμῶν πλείονες ἢ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
With him [are] arms of flesh; but with us [is] the Lord our God to save [us], and to fight our battle. And the people were encouraged at the words of Ezekias king of Juda.
Greek · SeptuagintΜετὰ αὐτοῦ βραχίονες σάρκινοι, μεθʼ ἡμῶν δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν τοῦ σώζειν καὶ τοῦ πολεμεῖν τὸν πόλεμον ἡμῶν· καὶ κατεθάρσησεν ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις Ἐζεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα.
And afterward Sennacherim king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem; and [he went] himself against Lachis, and all his army with him, and sent to Ezekias king of Juda, and to all Juda that [was] in Jerusalem, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέστειλε Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τοὺς παῖδας ἑαυτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ Λαχὶς, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ πρὸς πάντα Ἰούδα τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, λέγων,
Thus says Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, On what do ye trust, that ye will remain in the siege in Jerusalem?
Greek · Septuagintοὕτως λέγει Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, ἐπὶ τί ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε, καὶ καθήσεσθε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ;
Does not Ezekias deceive you, to deliver you to death and famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Greek · Septuagintοὐχὶ Ἐζεκίας ἀπατᾷ ὑμᾶς τοῦ παραδοῦναι ὑμᾶς εἰς θάνατον καὶ εἰς λιμὸν καὶ εἰς δίψαν, λέγων, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ;
Is not this Ezekias who has taken down his altars and his high places, and has spoken to Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before this altar, and burn incense upon it?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν Ἐζεκίας ὃς περιεῖλε τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδα καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, λέγων, κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τούτου προσκυνήσετε, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ θυμιάσατε;
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the countries? Could the gods of the nations of all the earth at all rescue their people out of my hand?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ γνώσεσθε ὅ, τι ἐποίησα ἐγὼ καὶ οἱ πατέρες μου πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς τῶν χωρῶν; μὴ δυνάμενοι ἠδύναντο θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν πάσης τῆς γῆς σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου;
Who is there among all the gods of those nations whom my fathers utterly destroyed, [worthy of trust]? Could they deliver their people out of my hand, that your God should deliver you out of my hand?
Greek · SeptuagintΤίς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων οὓς ἐξωλόθρευσαν οἱ πατέρες μου; μὴ ἐδύναντο σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου, ὅτι δυνήσεται ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν σῶσαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρός μου;
Now then, let not Ezekias deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not: for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers: therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν οὖν μὴ ἀπατάτω ὑμᾶς Ἐζεκίας, καὶ μὴ πεποιθέναι ὑμᾶς ποιείτω κατὰ ταῦτα, καὶ μὴ πιστεύετε αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ δύνηται ὁ θεὸς παντὸς ἔθνους καὶ βασιλείας τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρός μου καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πατέρων μου, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ σώσει ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρός μου.
And his servants continued to speak against the Lord God, and against his servant Ezekias.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔτι ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἐζεκίαν παῖδα αὐτοῦ.
And he wrote a letter to reproach the Lord God of Israel, and spoke concerning him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the earth have not delivered their people out of my hand, so the God of Ezekias shall by no means deliver his people out of my hand.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ βιβλίον ἔγραψεν ὀνειδίζειν τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπε περὶ αὐτοῦ, λέγων, ὡς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς οὐκ ἐξείλαντο λαοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου, οὕτως οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται ὁ Θεὸς Ἐζεκίου λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρός μου.
And he cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem on the wall, [calling them] to assist them, and pull down [the walls], that they might take the city.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐβόησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαϊστὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, τοῦ βοηθῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατασπάσαι, ὅπως προκαταλάβωνται τὴν πόλιν.
And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, even as against the gods of the nations of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Θεὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ θεοὺς λαῶν τῆς γῆς, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων.
And king Ezekias and Esaias the prophet the son of Amos prayed concerning these things, and they cried to heaven.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ προφήτης περὶ τούτων, καὶ ἐβόησαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
And the Lord sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty man and warrior, and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and he returned with shame of face to his own land and came into the house of his god: and [some] of them that came out of his bowels slew him with the sword.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἄγγελον, καὶ ἐξέτριψε πάντα δυνατὸν καὶ πολεμιστὴν καὶ ἄρχοντα καὶ στρατηγὸν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ· καὶ ἀπέστρεψε μετὰ αἰσχύνης προσώπου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ τῶν ἐξελθόντων ἐκ κοιλίας αὐτοῦ κατέβαλον αὐτὸν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
So the Lord delivered Ezekias and the dwellers in Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherim king of Assyria, and out of the hand of all [his enemies], and gave them rest round about.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Ἐζεκίαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐκ χειρὸς Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλέως Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων, καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτοὺς κυκλόθεν.
And many brought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezekias king of Juda; and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after these things.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πολλοὶ ἔφερον δῶρα τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ δόματα τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα, καὶ ὑπερῄρθη κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν μετὰ ταῦτα.
In those days Ezekias was sick even to death, and prayed to the Lord: and he hearkened to him, and gave him a sign.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠῤῥώστησεν Ἐζεκίας ἕως θανάτου, καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον· καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ σημεῖον ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
But Ezekias did not recompense the Lord according to the return which he made him, but his heart was lifted up: and wrath came upon him, and upon Juda and Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐ κατὰ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ὃ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἀνταπέδωκεν Ἐζεκίας, ἀλλὰ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ὀργὴ καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
And Ezekias humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the dwellers in Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Ezekias.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐταπεινώθη Ἐζεκίας ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕψους τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἐζεκίου.
And Ezekias had wealth and very great glory: and he made for himself treasuries of gold, and silver, and precious stones, also for spices, and stores for arms, and for precious vessels;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλὴ σφόδρα· καὶ θησαυροὺς ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου καὶ τοῦ λίθου τοῦ τιμίου, καὶ εἰς τὰ ἀρώματα, καὶ ὁπλοθήκας, καὶ εἰς σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ,
and cities for the produce of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls and mangers for every [kind of] cattle, and folds for flocks;
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πόλεις εἰς τὰ γεννήματα τοῦ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἐλαίου, καὶ κώμας καὶ φάτνας παντὸς κτήνους, καὶ μάνδρας εἰς τὰ ποίμνια,
and cities which he built for himself, and store of sheep and oxen in abundance, for the Lord gave him a very great store.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πόλεις ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀποσκευὴν προβάτων καὶ βοῶν εἰς πλῆθος, ὅτι ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ἀποσκευὴν πολλὴν σφόδρα.
The same Ezekias stopped up the course of the water of Gion above, and brought the water down straight south of the city of David. And Ezekias prospered in all his works.
Greek · SeptuagintΑὐτὸς Ἐζεκίας ἐνέφραξεν τὴν ἔξοδον τοῦ ὕδατος Γειῶν τὸ ἄνω, καὶ κατηύθυνεν αὐτὰ κάτω πρὸς Λίβα τῆς πόλεως Δαυίδ· καὶ εὐοδώθη Ἐζεκίας ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.
Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him to enquire of him [concerning] the prodigy which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to try him, to know what was in his heart.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὕτως τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς τῶν ἀρχόντων ἀπὸ Βαβυλῶνος, τοῖς ἀποσταλεῖσι πρὸς αὐτὸν πυθέσθαι παρʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ τέρας ὃ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐγκατέλιπεν αὐτὸν Κύριος τοῦ πειράσαι αὐτὸν, εἰδέναι τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and his kindness, behold, they are written in the prophecy of Esaias the son of Amos the prophet, and in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἐζεκίου, καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐν τῇ προφητείᾳ Ἡσαΐου υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
And Ezekias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in a high place among the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem gave him glory and honour at his death. And Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἐζεκίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν ἀναβάσει τάφων υἱῶν Δαυίδ· καὶ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ πᾶς Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Μανασσῆς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintὪν δεκαδύο ἐτῶν Μανασσῆς ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ πεντηκονταπέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπέστρεψε καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὰ ὑψηλὰ, ἃ κατέσπασεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔστησε στήλας τοῖς Βααλὶμ, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄλση, καὶ προσεκύνησεν πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς.
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήρια ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, οὗ εἶπε Κύριος, ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήρια πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου.
He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ αὐτὸς διήγαγε τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρὶ ἐν γὲ Βενεννόμ· καὶ ἐκληδονίζετο, καὶ οἰωνίζετο, καὶ ἐφαρμακεύετο, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐγγαστριμύθους καὶ ἐπᾳοιδοὺς, καὶ ἐπλήθυνε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
And he set the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔθηκε τὸ γλυπτὸν, τὸ χωνευτὸν, εἰκόνα ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ, οὗ εἶπε Θεὸς πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ πρὸς Σαλωμὼν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ἰσραὴλ, θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgments [given] by the hand of Moses.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐ προσθήσω σαλεῦσαι τὸν πόδα Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάσσωνται τοῦ ποιῆσαι πάντα ἃ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰ προστάγματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ.
So Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπλάνησε Μανασσῆς τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶι Ἰσραήλ.
And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they hearkened not.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσαν.
And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἤγαγε Κύριος ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ κατέλαβον τὸν Μανασσῆ ἐν δεσμοῖς, καὶ ἔδησαν αὐτὸν ἐν πέδαις, καὶ ἤγαγον εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὡς ἐθλίβη, ἐζήτησε τὸ πρόσωπον Θεοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐταπεινώθη σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου Θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτοῦ,
and he prayed to him: and he hearkened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπήκουσε τῆς βοῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔγνω Μανασσῆς ὅτι Κύριος αὐτός ἐστι Θεός.
And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel; and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ᾠκοδόμησε τεῖχος ἔξω τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ Λιβὸς κατὰ Νότον ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ, καὶ κατὰ τὴν εἴσοδον τὴν διὰ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἰχθυϊκῆς ἐκπορευομένων τὴν πύλην τὴν κυκλόθεν, καὶ εἰς Ὄπελ, καὶ ὕψωσε σφόδρα, καὶ κατέστησεν ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς τειχήρεσιν ἐν Ἰούδα.
And he removed the strange gods and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without the city.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ περιεῖλε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους καὶ τὸ γλυπτὸν ἐξ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ θυσιαστήρια, ἃ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν ὄρει οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔξωθεν τῆς πόλεως·
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατώρθωσε τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐθυσίασεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸ θυσίαυ σωτηρίου καὶ αἰνέσεως· καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδα, τοῦ δουλεύειν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
Greek · SeptuagintΠλὴν ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν ἐθυσίαζε, πλὴν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν.
And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Μανασσῆ, καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ ἡ πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ λόγοι τῶν ὁρώντων τῶν λαλούντων πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπʼ ὀνόματι Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.
Greek · Septuagintἰδοὺ ἐπὶ λόγων προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποστάσεις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ τόποι ἐφʼ οἷς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑψηλὰ, καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ ἄλση καὶ γλυπτὰ, πρὸ τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι, ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων τῶν ὁρώντων.
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκοιμήθη Μανασσῆς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν παραδείσῳ οἴκου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ Ἀμὼν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintὪν ἐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ δύο Ἀμὼν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ δύο ἔτη ἑβασιλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses had made, and served them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἔθυεν Ἀμὼν καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς.
And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἐταπεινώθη ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὡς ἐταπεινώθη Μανασσῆς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμὼν ἐπλήθυνε πλημμέλειαν.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐναντίον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδοῖς Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε δεξιὰ καὶ ἀριστερά.
And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔτι παιδάριον ἤρξατο τοῦ ζητῆσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο τοῦ καθαρίσαι τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, καὶ τῶν ἄλσεων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν περιβωμίων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν χωνευτῶν.
And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατέσπασε τὰ κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ θυσιαστήρια τῶν Βααλὶμ, καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ τὰ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔκοψε τὰ ἄλση καὶ τὰ γλυπτὰ, καὶ τὰ χωνευτὰ συνέτριψε, καὶ ἐλέπτυνε καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῶν μνημάτων τῶν θυσιαζόντων αὐτοῖς.
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.

And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Χελκίαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν, καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εἰσενεχθὲν εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ, ὃ συνήγαγον οἱ Λευῖται φυλάσσοντες τὴν πύλην ἐκ χειρὸς Μανασσῆ καὶ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων, καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς καταλοίπου ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ υἱῶν Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ οἰκούντων ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ χεῖρα ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα, οἱ καθεσταμένοι ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι τὰ ἔργα οἳ ἐποίουν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐπισκευάσαι καὶ κατισχύσαι τὸν οἶκον.

And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἐν πίστει ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων· καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπίσκοποι, Ἰὲθ καὶ Ἀβδίας οἱ Λευῖται ἐξ υἱῶν Μεραρὶ, καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ Μοσολλὰμ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Καὰθ ἐπισκοπεῖν, καὶ πᾶς Λευίτης, καὶ πᾶς συνιὼν ἐν ὀργάνοις ᾠδῶν.

And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of thy servants that work.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσήνεγκε Σαφὰν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀπέδωκεν ἔτι τῷ βασιλεῖ λόγον, πᾶν τὸ δοθὲν ἀργύριον ἐν χειρὶ τῶν παίδων σον τῶν ποιούντων.
And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐχώνευσαν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπὶ χεῖρα τῶν ἐπισκόπων, καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα τῶν ποιούντων τὴν ἐργασίαν.

And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.

Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.
Greek · Septuagintπορεύθητε, ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον περὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ καταλειφθέντος ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα περὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ εὑρεθέντος, ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ἐκκέκαυται ἐν ἡμῖν, διότι οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τῶν λόγων Κυρίου, τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.
And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπορεύθη Χελκίας, καὶ οἷς εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, πρὸς Ὀλδὰν τὴν προφῆτιν, γυναῖκα Σελλὴμ υἱοῦ Θεκωὲ υἱοῦ Ἀρὰς, φυλάσσουσαν τὰς ἐντολὰς, καὶ αὕτη κατῴκει ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν μασαναὶ, καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῇ κατὰ ταῦτα.
And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, εἴπατε τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντι ὑμᾶς πρὸς μὲ,
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:
Greek · Septuagintοὕτω λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον κακὰ, τοὺς πάντας λόγους τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῷ ἀνεγνωσμένῳ ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα,
because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.
Greek · Septuagintἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐθυμίασαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, ἵνα παροργίσωσίν με ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξεκαύθη ὁ θυμός μου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται.
And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord,—thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which thou hast heard,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ, οὕτω λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἤκουσας,
forasmuch as thy heart was ashamed, and thou wast humbled before me when thou heardest my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and thou wast humbled before me, and didst rend thy garments, and didst weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐνετράπη ἡ καρδία σου, καὶ ἐταπεινώθης ἀπὸ προσώπου μου ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐταπεινώθης ἐναντίον μου, καὶ διέῤῥηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου, καὶ ἔκλαυσας κατεναντίον μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα, φησὶ Κύριος.
Behold, I [will] gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ προστίθημί σε πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου, καὶ προστεθήσῃ πρὸς τὰ μνήματά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς κακοῖς οἷς ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτόν. Καὶ ἀπέδωκαν τῷ βασιλεῖ λόγον.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ ἀνέγνω ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτῶν πάντας λόγους βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν στύλον, καὶ διέθετο διαθήκην ἐναντίον Κυρίου, τοῦ πορευθῆναι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, τοῦ φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μαρτύρια, καὶ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ, ὥστε ποιεῖν τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.
