The XXXIIII. Chapter.
A noteIosias was eight yeare olde whan
he was made kynge, and reigned one
and thirtye yeare at Ierusalem, and
dyd that which was righte in the sighte of
the LORDE, and walked in the wayes of
Dauid his father, and turned not asyde, nether
to the righte hande ner to the lefte. For
in the eight yeare of his reigne wh&abar; he was
yet but a childe, he beganne to seke the God
of his father Dauid: and in the twolueth
yeare beg&abar;ne he to clense Iuda and Ierusal&ebar;
from the hye places and groues, and carued
Idols, and molten ymages: and caused the
altares of Baalim to be broken downe before
him, and the ymages that were theron,
hewed he downe. And þe; groues and carued
Idols and molt&ebar; ymages brake he in peces,
and made them to dust, and scatred it vpon
the graues of them that had offred vnto
them. And the bones of the prestes brent he
vp&obar; the altares, and so cl&ebar;sed he Iuda ∧ Ierusal&ebar;,
∧ in þe; cities of Manasses, Ephraim,
Simeon, and vnto Nephtali in their wyldernesses
on euerysyde. And wh&abar; he had broken
downe the altares and groues, and smytten
the Idols in peces, and hewed downe
all the ymages in all the londe of Israel, he
came agayne to Ierusalem.
B noteIn the eight&ebar;th yeare of his reigne wh&abar;
he had clensed the londe and the house, he
sent Saphan the sonne of Asalia and Maeseia
the Shreue of the cite, and Ioath the
sonne of Ioahas the Chaunceler, to repayre
the house of the LORDE his God. And they
came to Hechias þe; hye prest, and there was
delyuered vnto them the money that was
broughte vnto the house of God, which the
Leuites (that kepte the threshouldes) had
gathered, of Manasses, Epraim, and of all
the residue in Israel, and of all Iuda ∧ Ben
Iamin, and of them that dwelt at Ierusal&ebar;,
and they delyuered it vnto the h&abar;des of the
worke men in the house of the LORDE, and
gaue it vnto those that wrought in the house
of the LORDE, where it was in decaye, þt;
they shulde repayre it. And the same gaue it
forth vnto the carpenters and buylders, to
bye fre stone and hewen tymber for the balkes
in the houses, which the kynges had
destroyed. And the men laboured faithfully
in the worke.
C And ouer them were ordeyned, Iahath
and Obadia the Leuites of the children of
Merari: Zachary and Mesullam of the children
of the Kahathites, to further the worke,
and they were all Leuites that coulde
playe vpon instrumentes. But ouer them
that bare burthens and furthured all maner
of worke in all the offices, there were
scrybes, officers and dore kepers of the Leuites.
And wh&abar; they toke out the money that
was broughte vnto þe; house of the LORDE,
Helchias the prest founde the boke of the
lawe of the LORDE geuen by Moses. And
Helchias answered, and saide vnto Saphan
the Scrybe: note I haue founde the boke of the
lawe in þe; house of þe; LORDE. And Helchias
delyuered the boke vnto Saphan. And Saphan
bare it vnto the kynge, and broughte
þe; kynge worde agayne, and sayde: All that
was geuen vnder the handes of thy seruauntes,
that make they: and þe; money that was
founde in þe; house of the LORDE, haue they
gathered together, and delyuered it vnto þe;
officers, and to the workmen. And Saphan
the Scrybe tolde the kynge, and sayde: Helchias
the prest hath delyuered me a boke.
D And Saphan red therin before the kynge.
And whan the kynge herde the wordes
of the lawe, he rente his clothes. And the
kynge commaunded Helchias and Ahicam
the sonne of Saphan, and Abdon the sonne
of Micha, and Saphan the Scrybe, and
Asaia the kynges seruaunt, and sayde: Go
youre waye, axe councell at the LORDE for
me and for the remnaunt in Israel, and for
Iuda, concernynge these wordes of the boke
that is founde. For greate is the indignacion
of the LORDE that is gone forth ouer
vs, because oure fathers haue not kepte the
worde of the LORDE, to do acordinge as it
-- --
is wrytten in this boke. Then w&ebar;te Helchias
(with the other that were sent from the kynge)
vnto the prophetisse Hulda the wife of
Sallum the Sonne of Thecoath the sonne
of Hasra the keper of the clothes, which
dwelt at Ierusalem in the sec&obar;de parte, and
they spake this vnto her.
E And she sayde vnto them: Thus sayeth
the LORDE God of Israel: Tell the man þt;
sent you vnto me: Thus sayeth þe; LORDE:
Beholde, I wil brynge plages vp&obar; this place
and the inhabiters therof, eu&ebar; all the curses
which are wrytten in the boke, that was
red before the kynge of Iuda: because they
haue forsak&ebar; me, and br&ebar;t inc&ebar;se vnto other
goddes, to prouoke me with all the workes
of their handes. And my indignacion shal
go forth vpon this cite, and shal not be
quenched.
And after this maner shal ye saye vnto
the kynge of Iuda, that sent you to axe councell
at the LORDE: Thus sayeth þe; LORDE
God of Israel concernynge the wordes that
thou hast herde: Because thine hert is moued,
and because thou hast humbled thy selfe
in the sighte of God, whan thou herdest his
wordes agaynst this place and the inhabiters
therof, and hast submytted thy selfe before
me, and rent thy clothes, and wepte before
me, therfore haue I herde the, sayeth þe;
LORDE. Beholde, I wil gather the vnto
thy fathers, and thou shalt be layed in thy
graue with peace, so þt; thine eyes shal not
se all the euell that I wyl brynge ouer this
place, and the indwellers therof. And they
broughte the kynge worde agayne.
F noteThen sent þe; kynge, and caused all the Elders
in Iuda and Ierusalem to come together.
And the kynge wente vp in to the house
of the LORDE, and all the men of Iuda
and inhabiters of Ierusal&ebar;, the prestes, the
Leuites, and all the people both small and
greate: and all the wordes in the boke of the
couenaunt that was founde in the house of
the LORDE, were red in their eares. And þe;
kynge stode in his place, and made a couenaunt
before the LORDE, that they shulde
walke after the LORDE, to kepe his c&obar;maundementes,
his testimonies, and his statutes
with all their hert and with all their soule, to
do accordinge vnto all the wordes of the couenaunt
that are wrytten in this boke.
And there stode all they that were founde
at Ierusalem and in Ben Iamin. And þe;
inhabiters of Ierusalem dyd acordinge to
the couenaunt of God the God of their fathers.
And Iosias put awaye all abhominacions
out of all the londes that were the
children of Israels, and caused all them that
were founde in Israel, to serue the LORDE
their God. noteAs longe as Iosias lyued, departed
they not from the LORDE the God
of their fathers.
