Chapter 23
And
the
king
sent,
and
they
gathered
vnto
him
all
the
Elders
of
Iudah,
and
of
Ierusalem.
2
And
the
king
went
vp
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
all
the
men
of
Iudah,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
with
him,
and
the
Priestes,
and
the
Prophets,
and
all
the
people
both
small
and
great:
and
he
read
in
their
eares
all
the
wordes
of
the
booke
of
the
Couenant
which
was
found
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
3
And
the
King
stood
by
a
pillar,
and
made
a
Couenant
before
the
Lord,
to
walke
after
the
Lord,
and
to
keepe
his
Commaundements,
and
his
Testimonies,
&
his
Statutes,
with
all
their
heart,
and
all
their
soule,
to
performe
the
words
of
this
Couenant,
that
were
written
in
this
booke:
and
all
the
people
stood
to
the
Couenant.
4
And
the
king
commanded
Hilkiah
the
high
Priest,
and
the
priests
of
the
second
order,
and
the
keepers
of
the
doore
to
bring
forth
out
of
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
all
the
vessels
that
were
made
for
Baal,
and
for
the
groue,
and
for
all
the
hoste
of
heauen:
and
he
burnt
them
without
Ierusalem
in
the
fields
of
Kidron,
and
caried
the
ashes
of
them
vnto
Bethel.
5
And
hee
put
downe
the
idolatrous
priests
whome
the
kings
of
Iudah
had
ordeined
to
burne
incense
in
the
high
places,
in
the
cities
of
Iudah
and
in
the
places
round
about
Ierusalem:
them
also
that
burnt
incense
vnto
Baal,
to
the
Sunne,
and
to
the
Moone,
and
to
the
Planets,
and
to
all
the
hoste
of
heauen.
6
And
he
brought
out
the
groue
from
the
house
of
the
Lord,
without
Ierusalem,
vnto
the
brooke
Kidron,
and
burnt
it
at
the
brooke
Kidron,
and
stampt
it
small
to
powder,
and
cast
the
powder
thereof
vpon
the
graues
of
the
children
of
the
people.
7
And
he
brake
downe
the
houses
of
the
Sodomites
that
were
by
the
house
of
the
Lord,
where
the
women
woue
hangings
for
the
groue.
8
And
he
brought
all
the
priests
out
of
the
cities
of
Iudah,
and
defiled
the
high
places
where
the
priests
had
burnt
incense,
from
Geba
to
Beersheba,
and
brake
downe
the
hie
places
of
the
gates
that
were
in
the
entring
in
of
the
gate
of
Ioshua
the
gouernour
of
the
citie,
which
were
on
a
mans
left
hand
at
the
gate
of
the
citie.
9
Neuerthelesse,
the
priests
of
the
high
places
came
not
vp
to
the
Altar
of
the
Lord
in
Ierusalem,
but
they
did
eate
of
the
vnleauened
bread
among
their
brethren.
10
And
he
defiled
Topheth
which
is
in
the
valley
of
the
children
of
Hinnom,
that
no
man
might
make
his
sonne
or
his
daughter
to
passe
through
the
fire
to
Molech.
11
And
he
tooke
away
the
horses
that
the
kings
of
Iudah
had
giuen
to
the
Sunne,
at
the
entring
in
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
by
the
chamber
of
Nathanmelech
the
chamberlaine,
which
was
in
the
suburbs,
and
burnt
the
charets
of
the
Sunne
with
fire,
12
And
the
altars
that
were
on
the
top
of
the
vpper
chamber
of
Ahaz,
which
the
kings
of
Iudah
had
made,
and
the
altars
which
Manasseh
had
made
in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
did
the
king
beat
downe,
and
brake
them
downe
from
thence,
and
cast
the
dust
of
them
into
the
brooke
Kidron.
13
And
the
high
places
that
were
before
Ierusalem,
which
were
on
the
right
hand
of
the
mount
of
corruption,
which
Solomon
the
king
of
Israel
had
builded
for
Ashtoreth,
the
abomination
of
the
Zidonians,
and
for
Chemosh
the
abomination
of
the
Moabites,
and
for
Milchom
the
abomination
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
did
the
king
defile.
14
And
he
brake
in
pieces
the
images,
and
cut
downe
the
groues,
and
filled
their
places
with
the
bones
of
men.
15
Moreouer
the
altar
that
was
at
Bethel,
and
the
high
place
which
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sinne,
had
made,
both
that
altar,
and
the
high
place
he
brake
downe,
and
burnt
the
high
place,
and
stampt
it
small
to
powder,
and
burnt
the
groue.
16
And
as
Iosiah
turned
himselfe,
he
spied
the
sepulchres
that
were
there
in
the
mount,
and
sent,
&
tooke
the
bones
out
of
the
sepulchres,
and
burnt
them
vpon
the
altar,
and
polluted
it,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
which
the
man
of
God
proclaimed,
who
proclaimed
these
words.
17
Then
hee
said,
What
title
is
that
that
I
see?
And
the
men
of
the
city
told
him,
It
is
the
sepulchre
of
the
man
of
God,
which
came
from
Iudah,
and
proclaimed
these
things
that
thou
hast
done
against
the
altar
of
Bethel.
18
And
he
said,
Let
him
alone:
let
no
man
moue
his
bones:
so
they
let
his
bones
alone,
with
the
bones
of
the
Prophet
that
came
out
of
Samaria.
19
And
all
the
houses
also
of
the
hie
places
that
were
in
the
cities
of
Samaria,
which
the
kings
of
Israel
had
made
to
prouoke
the
Lord
to
anger,
Iosiah
tooke
away,
and
did
to
them
according
to
all
the
actes
that
hee
had
done
in
Bethel.
20
And
he
slew
all
the
priests
of
the
high
places
that
were
there,
vpon
the
altars,
and
burnt
mens
bones
vpon
them,
and
returned
to
Ierusalem.
21
And
the
King
commanded
all
the
people
saying,
Keepe
the
Passeouer
vnto
the
Lord
your
God,
as
it
is
written
in
this
booke
of
the
Couenant.
22
Surely
there
was
not
holden
such
a
Passeouer,
from
the
daies
of
the
Iudges
that
iudged
Israel,
nor
in
all
the
dayes
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
nor
of
the
kings
of
Iudah:
23
But
in
the
eighteenth
yeere
of
king
Iosiah,
wherein
this
Passeouer
was
holden
to
the
Lord
in
Ierusalem.
24
Moreouer
the
workers
with
familiar
spirits,
and
the
wizards,
and
the
images,
and
the
idoles,
and
all
the
abominations
that
were
spied
in
the
land
of
Iudah,
and
in
Ierusalem,
did
Iosiah
put
away,
that
he
might
performe
the
wordes
of
the
lawe,
which
were
written
in
the
booke
that
Hilkiah
the
priest
found
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
25
And
like
vnto
him
was
there
no
king
before
him,
that
turned
to
the
Lord
with
all
his
heart,
and
with
all
his
soule,
and
with
all
his
might,
according
to
all
the
Law
of
Moses,
neither
after
him
arose
there
any
like
him.
26
Notwithstanding,
the
Lord
turned
not
from
the
fiercenesse
of
his
great
wrath,
wherwith
his
anger
was
kindled
against
Iudah,
because
of
all
the
prouocations
that
Manasseh
had
prouoked
him
withall.
27
And
the
Lord
said,
I
will
remoue
Iudah
also
out
of
my
sight,
as
I
haue
remoued
Israel,
and
will
cast
off
this
citie
Ierusalem,
which
I
haue
chosen,
and
the
house
of
which
I
sayd,
My
name
shall
be
there.
28
Now
the
rest
of
the
actes
of
Iosiah,
and
all
that
hee
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
booke
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Iudah?
29
In
his
dayes,
Pharaoh
Nechoh
king
of
Egypt,
went
vp
against
the
king
of
Assyria
to
the
riuer
Euphrates:
and
king
Iosiah
went
against
him,
and
hee
slew
him
at
Megiddo,
when
he
had
seene
him.
30
And
his
seruants
caried
him
in
a
charet
dead
from
Megiddo,
&
brought
him
to
Ierusalem,
and
buried
him
in
his
owne
sepulchre:
and
the
people
of
the
land
tooke
Iehoahaz
the
sonne
of
Iosiah,
and
anointed
him,
and
made
him
king
in
his
fathers
stead.
31
Iehoahaz
was
twenty
and
three
yeeres
olde
when
he
beganne
to
reigne,
and
hee
reigned
three
moneths
in
Ierusalem:
and
his
mothers
name
was
Hamital,
the
daughter
of
Ieremiah,
of
Libnah.
32
And
hee
did
that
which
was
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
according
to
all
that
his
fathers
had
done.
33
And
Pharaoh
Nechoh
put
him
in
bandes
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
that
he
might
not
reigne
in
Ierusalem,
and
put
the
land
to
a
tribute
of
an
hundred
talents
of
siluer,
and
a
talent
of
golde.
34
And
Pharaoh
Nechoh
made
Eliakim
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
king,
in
the
roume
of
Iosiah
his
father,
and
turned
his
name
to
Iehoiakim,
and
tooke
Iehoahaz
away:
and
hee
came
to
Egypt,
and
died
there.
35
And
Iehoiakim
gaue
the
siluer,
and
the
golde
to
Pharaoh,
but
he
taxed
the
land
to
giue
the
money
according
to
the
commandement
of
Pharaoh:
hee
exacted
the
siluer
and
the
golde
of
the
people
of
the
land,
of
euery
one
according
to
his
taxation,
to
giue
it
vnto
Pharaoh
Nechoh.
36
Iehoiakim
was
twentie
and
fiue
yeere
olde
when
he
began
to
reigne,
and
he
reigned
eleuen
yeeres
in
Ierusalem:
and
his
mothers
name
was
Zebudah,
the
daughter
of
Pedaiah
of
Rumah.
37
And
he
did
that
which
was
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
according
to
all
that
his
fathers
had
done.
