7 So Azariah [05838] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and they buried [06912] him with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Jotham [03147] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
3 He built [01129] the high [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and on the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077] he built [01129] much [07230].
38 And the chambers [03957] and the entries [06607] thereof were by the posts [0352] of the gates [08179], where they washed [01740] the burnt offering [05930].
39 And in the porch [0197] of the gate [08179] were two [08147] tables [07979] on this side, and two tables [07979] on that side, to slay [07819] thereon the burnt offering [05930] and the sin offering [02403] and the trespass offering [0817].
40 And at the side [03802] without [02351], as one goeth up [05927] to the entry [06607] of the north [06828] gate [08179], were two [08147] tables [07979]; and on the other [0312] side [03802], which was at the porch [0197] of the gate [08179], were two [08147] tables [07979].
41 Four [0702] tables [07979] were on this side, and four [0702] tables [07979] on that side, by the side [03802] of the gate [08179]; eight [08083] tables [07979], whereupon they slew [07819] their sacrifices.
42 And the four [0702] tables [07979] were of hewn [01496] stone [068] for the burnt offering [05930], of a cubit [0520] and an half [02677] long [0753], and a cubit [0520] and an half [02677] broad [07341], and one [0259] cubit [0520] high [01363]: whereupon also they laid [03240] the instruments [03627] wherewith they slew [07819] the burnt offering [05930] and the sacrifice [02077].
43 And within [01004] were hooks [08240], an [0259] hand [02948] broad, fastened [03559] round about [05439]: and upon the tables [07979] was the flesh [01320] of the offering [07133].
16 And in the fifth [02568] year [08141] of Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478], Jehoshaphat [03092] being then king [04428] of Judah [03063], Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427].
14 So he departed [03212] from Elisha [0477], and came [0935] to his master [0113]; who said [0559] to him, What said [0559] Elisha [0477] to thee? And he answered [0559], He told [0559] me that thou shouldest surely [02421] recover [02421].
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling [05608] the king [04428] how he had restored [02421] a dead body [04191] to life [02421], that, behold, the woman [0802], whose son [01121] he had restored to life [02421], cried [06817] to the king [04428] for her house [01004] and for her land [07704]. And Gehazi [01522] said [0559], My lord [0113], O king [04428], this is the woman [0802], and this is her son [01121], whom Elisha [0477] restored to life [02421].
3 And it came to pass at the seven [07651] years [08141]' end [07097], that the woman [0802] returned [07725] out of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]: and she went forth [03318] to cry [06817] unto the king [04428] for her house [01004] and for her land [07704].
2 And, behold, six [08337] men [0582] came [0935] from the way [01870] of the higher [05945] gate [08179], which lieth [06437] toward the north [06828], and every man [0376] a slaughter [04660] weapon [03627] in his hand [03027]; and one [0259] man [0376] among [08432] them was clothed [03847] with linen [0906], with a writer's [05608] inkhorn [07083] by his side [04975]: and they went in [0935], and stood [05975] beside [0681] the brasen [05178] altar [04196].
16 But when he was strong [02393], his heart [03820] was lifted up [01361] to his destruction [07843]: for he transgressed [04603] against the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and went [0935] into the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] to burn incense [06999] upon the altar [04196] of incense [07004].
2 Sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] two [08147] and fifty [02572] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jecholiah [03203] of Jerusalem [03389].
4 Save that the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] and burnt incense [06999] still on the high places [01116].
3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Amaziah [0558] had done [06213];
35 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] and burned incense [06999] still in the high places [01116]. He built [01129] the higher [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
34 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he did [06213] according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] had done [06213].
1 In the seventeenth [07651] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] Ahaz [0271] the son [01121] of Jotham [03147] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427].
27 In the two [08147] [08141] and fiftieth [02572] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111], and reigned twenty [06242] years [08141].
32 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] king [04428] of Israel [03478] began Jotham [03147] the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063] to reign [04427].
1 Jotham [03147] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Jerushah [03388], the daughter [01323] of Zadok [06659].
2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] did [06213]: howbeit he entered [0935] not into the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]. And the people [05971] did yet corruptly [07843].
3 He built [01129] the high [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and on the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077] he built [01129] much [07230].
4 Moreover he built [01129] cities [05892] in the mountains [02022] of Judah [03063], and in the forests [02793] he built [01129] castles [01003] and towers [04026].
5 He fought [03898] also with the king [04428] of the Ammonites [05984], and prevailed [02388] against them. And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] gave [05414] him the same year [08141] an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of wheat [02406], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] of barley [08184]. So much did the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] pay [07725] unto [02063] him, both the second [08145] year [08141], and the third [07992].
6 So Jotham [03147] became mighty [02388], because he prepared [03559] his ways [01870] before [06440] the LORD [03068] his God [0430].
7 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jotham [03147], and all his wars [04421], and his ways [01870], lo, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063].
8 He was five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389].
9 And Jotham [03147] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Ahaz [0271] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
