ThomsonWHEN they brought back this answer to the king, the king sent and assembled before him all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.

BrentonSo they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

GreekΚαὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τῷ βασιλεῖ τὸ ῥῆμα· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ συνήγαγε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ.

ThomsonAnd the king went up to the house of the Lord, accompanied by all the chiefs of Juda and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with the priests and the prophets and all the people small and great. And when he had read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord,

BrentonAnd the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who dwelt in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ ἀνέγνω ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ εὑρεθέντος ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

Thomsonthe king stood before the pillar and made a covenant in the presence of the Lord to follow the Lord—to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul—to conform to the terms of the covenant, the things written in the book. And all the people joined in the covenant.

BrentonAnd the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; even the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

GreekΚαὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν στύλον, καὶ διέθετο διαθήκην ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω Κυρίου, τοῦ φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ψυχῇ, τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης, τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο· καὶ ἔστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ.

ThomsonThen the king ordered Chelkias the high priest and the priests of the second order and them who had the charge of the weights, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the utensils which were made for Baal and for the bower and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem at Sademoth Kedron, and sent the ashes thereof to Baithel.

BrentonAnd the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Bæthel.

GreekΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χελκίᾳ τῷ ἱερεῖ τῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τῆς δευτερώσεως καὶ τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὸν σταθμὸν, ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ πεποιημένα τῷ Βάαλ καὶ τῷ ἄλσει καὶ πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ κατέκαυσεν αὐτὰ ἔξω Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν σαλημὼθ Κέδρών, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν εἰς Βαιθήλ.

ThomsonHe burned also the Chomarims, whom the kings of Juda had appointed. These were they who burned incense on the high places and in the cities of Juda and in the places around Jerusalem. He burned them also, who offered incense to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the signs in the zodiac and to all the host of heaven.

BrentonAnd he burned the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda had appointed, (and they burned incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places round about Jerusalem); and them that burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.

GreekΚαὶ κατέκαυσε τοὺς χωμαρὶμ οὓς ἔδωκαν βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ τοῖς περικύκλῳ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ τοὺς θυμιῶντας τῷ Βάαλ καὶ τῷ ἡλίῳ, καὶ τῇ σελήνῃ, καὶ τοῖς μαζουρὼθ, καὶ πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

ThomsonAnd he brought out the bower out of the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the brook Kedron, and having burned it by the brook Kedron, he ground it to powder, and strewed the powder over the graves of the children of the people.

BrentonAnd he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burned it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξήνεγκε τὸ ἄλσος ἐξ οἴκου Κυρίου ἔξωθεν Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν Κέδρών, καὶ κατέκαυσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ Κεδρων, καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν εἰς χοῦν· καὶ ἔῤῥιψε τὸν χοῦν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν τάφον τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ λαοῦ.

ThomsonHe pulled down also the house of Kadesim in the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the bower.

BrentonAnd he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.

Greekκαὶ καθεῖλε τὸν οἶκον τῶν καδησὶμ τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, οὗ αἱ γυναῖκες ὕφαινον ἐκεῖ χεττιῒμ τῷ ἄλσει.

ThomsonThen he brought up all the priests out of the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense from Gaibal to Bersabee. He demolished also the house of the gates which was at the door of the gate of Jesus, the governor of the city, on the left of a man entering at the gate of the city.

BrentonAnd he brought up all the priests from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burned incense, from Gæbal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνήγαγεν πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐκ πόλεων Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐμίανε τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὗ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἀπὸ Γαιβὰλ καὶ ἕως Βηρσάβεέ· καὶ καθεῖλε τὸν οἶκον τῶν πυλῶν τὸν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πύλης Ἰησοῦ ἄρχοντος τῆς πόλεως, τῶν ἐξ ἀριστερῶν ἀνδρὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως.

ThomsonBut the priests of the high places did not go up to the altar of the Lord at Jerusalem; for they only eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

BrentonOnly the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.

GreekΠλὴν οὐκ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἔφαγον ἄζυμα ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν.

ThomsonHe defiled also Tapheth which was set apart in the valley of the son of Ennom, for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

BrentonAnd he defiled Tapheth which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, constructed for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

GreekΚαὶ ἐμίανε τὸν Ταφὲθ τὸν ἐν φάραγγι υἱοῦ Ἑννὸμ, τοῦ διαγαγεῖν ἄνδρα τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄνδρα τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Μόλοχ ἐν πυρί.

ThomsonAnd he burned the houses which the kings of Juda had dedicated to the sun at the entrance of the house of the Lord, at the treasury office of Nathan, the king’s chamberlain, at Pharurim. He burned also with fire the chariot of the sun,

BrentonAnd he burned the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burned the chariot of the sun with fire.

GreekΚαὶ κατέκαυσε τοὺς ἵππους οὓς ἔδωκαν βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα τῷ ἡλίῳ ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ οἴκου Κυρίου εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον Ναθὰν βασιλέως τοῦ εὐνούχου ἐν φαρουρείμ· καὶ τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ ἡλίου κατέκαυσεν πυρί,

Thomsonand the altars which were on the roof of Achaz’s chamber, which the kings of Juda had erected, and he pulled down the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, and having dragged them out thence piecemeal, he threw the rubbish of them into the brook Kedron.

BrentonAnd the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.

Greekκαὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τοῦ ὑπερῴου Ἄχαζ, ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεὶς Ἰούδα· καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια ἃ ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου καθεῖλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ κατέσπασεν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ ἔῤῥιψε τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν Κέδρων.

ThomsonThe king defiled also the house which was in front of Jerusalem—that which was on the right of mount Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Astarte, the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chamos, the abomination of Moab, and for Moloch the abomination of the Ammonites.

BrentonAnd the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.

GreekΚαὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Μοσθὰθ, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ προσοχθίσματι Σιδωνίων, καὶ τῷ Χαμὼς προσοχθίσματι Μωὰβ, καὶ τῷ Μολὸχ βδελύγματι υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, ἐμίανεν ὁ βασιλεύς.

ThomsonAnd when he had broken in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the bowers, and filled their places with human bones, he then tore down

BrentonAnd he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

GreekΚαὶ συνέτριψε τὰς στήλας, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσε τὰ ἄλση, καὶ ἔπλησε τοὺς τόπους αὐτῶν ὀστέων ἀνθρώπων.

Thomsonalso the altar which was at Baithel, that high altar which was erected by Jeroboam, son of Nabat, who had caused Israel to sin. Even that high altar he tore down and broke the stones thereof to pieces and pounded them to dust, and burned the bower.

BrentonAlso the high altar in Bæthel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.

GreekΚαί γε τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἐν Βαιθὴλ τὸ ὑψηλὸν ὃ ἐποίησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καί γε τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐκεῖνο τὸ ὑψηλὸν κατέσπασε, καὶ συνέτριψε τοὺς λίθους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν εἰς χοῦν, καὶ κατέκαυσε τὸ ἄλσος.

ThomsonNow when Josias turned and saw the graves which were there in the city, he sent and took the bones out of the graves and burned them on the altar, and polluted it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke when Jeroboam was standing on the altar at the festival. Then turning he cast his eyes on the tomb of the man of God who spoke these words,

BrentonAnd Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξένευσεν Ἰωσίας καὶ εἶδε τοὺς τάφους τοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ ἀπέστειλε, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ὀστᾶ ἐκ τῶν τάφων, καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐμίανεν αὐτὸ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ἑστᾶναι Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ ἐπιστρέψας ᾖρε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τάφον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ λαλήσαντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

Thomsonand he said, What monument is that which I see? And when the men of the city said, It is the man of God who came from Juda to denounce, and who denounced these very things against this altar at Baithel;

BrentonAnd he said, What is that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, It is the grave of the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Bæthel.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν, τί τὸ σκόπελον ἐκεῖνο ὃ ἐγὼ ὁρῶ; καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως, ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐξεληλυθὼς ἐξ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπικαλεσάμενος τοὺς λόγους τούτους οὓς ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Βαιθήλ.

Thomsonhe said, Let him alone, Let no man move his bones. So his bones escaped with the bones of the prophet, who came from Samaria.

BrentonAnd he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν, ἄφετε αὐτὸν, ἀνὴρ μὴ κινησάτωσαν τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐῤῥύσθησαν τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὀστῶν τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ ἥκοντος ἐκ Σαμαρείας.

ThomsonAll the houses also of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria—which the kings of Israel had built to provoke the Lord, Josias removed, and did to them all that he had done at Baithel.

BrentonMoreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Bæthel.

GreekΚαί γε πάντας τοὺς οἴκους τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας, οὓς ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἰσραὴλ παροργίζειν Κύριον, ἀπέστησεν Ἰωσίας, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Βαιθήλ.

ThomsonAnd when he had sacrificed all the priests of the high places who were there over the altars, and burned the bones of men upon them, he returned to Jerusalem.

BrentonAnd he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

GreekΚαὶ ἐθυσίασε πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ὄντας ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων, καὶ κατέκαυσε τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπʼ αὐτὰ, καὶ ἐπεστράφη εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

ThomsonThen the king issued orders to all the people, saying, Celebrate the passover to the Lord our God, as it is written in the book of this covenant. For from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, there had not been during all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Juda,

BrentonAnd the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

GreekΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, λέγων, ποιήσατε πάσχα τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης.

Thomsonsuch a passover as this which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem

BrentonFor a passover such as this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.

GreekὍτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη τὸ πάσχα τοῦτο ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν τῶν κριτῶν οἳ ἔκρινον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ καὶ βασιλέων Ἰούδα.

Thomsonin the eighteenth year of Josias.

BrentonBut in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

Greekὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωσίον ἐγενήθη τὸ πάσχα τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

ThomsonFor Josias removed all the devotees and the diviners and the theraphins and the idols and all the abominations which were in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might conform to the words of the law which were written in the book which Chelkias the priest had found in the house of the Lord.

BrentonMoreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.

GreekΚαί γε τοὺς θελητὰς, καὶ τοὺς γνωριστὰς καὶ τὰ θεραφὶν, καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα, καὶ πάντα τὰ προσοχθίσματα τὰ γεγονότα ἐν τῇ γῇ Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐξῇρεν Ἰωσίας, ἵνα στήσῃ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ τοῦ βιβλίον, οὗ εὗρε Χελκίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

ThomsonLike him there was no king before him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; nor did there arise after him anyone like him.

BrentonThere was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.

GreekὍμοιος αὐτῷ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς, ὃς ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς Κύριον ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον Μωυσῆ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀνέστη ὅμοιος αὐτῷ.

ThomsonNevertheless the Lord turned not from the fervency of His great wrath with which He was incensed against Juda at the provocations with which Manasses had provoked Him.

BrentonNevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was wroth in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.

GreekΠλὴν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη Κύριος ἀπὸ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ τῆς μεγάλης οὗ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ ἐπὶ τοὺς παροργισμοὺς, οὓς παρώργισεν αὐτὸν Μανασσῆς.

ThomsonSo the Lord said, I will remove Juda also from My presence as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city of Jerusalem which I chose, and this house of which I said, My name shall be there.

BrentonAnd the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Κύριος, καί γε τὸν Ἰούδα ἀποστήσω ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου μου, καθὼς ἀπέστησα τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀπεώσομαι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἣν ἐξελεξάμην, τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τὸν οἶκον οὗ εἶπον, ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ.

ThomsonNow the rest of the acts of Josias and all that he did, are they not written in the journal of the kings of Juda?

BrentonAnd the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

GreekΚαὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωσίου καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;

ThomsonIn those days when Pharao Nechao king of Egypt was going up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates, Josias went out to meet him. And Nechao slew him at Mageddo when he saw him.

BrentonAnd in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao slew him in Mageddo when he saw him.

GreekἘν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰωσίας εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν Νεχαὼ ἐν Μαγεδδὼ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτόν.

ThomsonAnd his servants took him up mortally wounded at Mageddo and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Joachaz son of Josias and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.

BrentonAnd his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.

GreekΚαὶ ἐπεβίβασαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ νεκρὸν ἐκ Μαγεδδὼ, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱὸν Ἰωσίου, καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonJoachaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Amital. She was a daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

ThomsonHe did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord according to all that his forefathers had done.

ThomsonSo when Pharao Nechao was at Rablaam in the land of Emath, he removed him from reigning in Jerusalem, and imposed as a fine on the land a hundred talents of silver and a hundred talents of gold; and having made Eliakim son of Josias, king of Juda, king over them in the room of his father Josias,

BrentonAnd Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.

GreekΚαὶ μετέστησεν αὐτὸν Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ ἐν Ῥαβλαὰμ ἐν γῇ Ἐμὰθ τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔδωκε ζημίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα χρυσίου.

BrentonAnd Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold each man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.

GreekΚαὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἔδωκεν Ἰωακὶμ τῷ Φαραῷ, πλὴν ἐτιμογράφησε τὴν γῆν τοῦ δοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ στόματος Φαραώ ἀνὴρ κατὰ τὴν συντίμησιν αὐτοῦ ἔδωκαν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς τοῦ δοῦναι τῷ Φαραῷ Νεχαώ.
