And there was there a prophet of the Lord, his name [was] Oded: and he went out to meet the host that were coming to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, the wrath of the Lord God of your fathers [is] upon Judah{gr.Juda}, and he has delivered them into your hands, and ye have slain them in wrath, and it has reached even to heaven. |

yeº
purposeºº
to keep underºº
the childrenº
of Judahº
and Jerusalemº
for bondmenº
and bondwomenº
unto you: [but are there] notº
withº
you, evenº
with you,º
sinsº
against Yahwehº
your Elohim?º |
|
28:11
And now hearken to me, and restore the prisoners of your brethren whom ye have taken: for the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon you. |
|
28:11
Nowº
hearºº
me therefore, and deliverºº
the captivesº
again, whichº

of your brethren:ºº
forº
the fierceº
wrathº
of Yahwehº

of Hadlai,º
stood upºº
againstº
them that cameºº
fromº

|
28:13
and said to them, Ye shall not bring in hither the prisoners to us, for whereas sin against the Lord [is] upon us, ye mean to add to our sins, and to our trespass: for our sin [is] great, and the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon Israel. |
|
28:13
And saidºº
unto them, Ye shall notº
bring inººº
the captivesº
hither:º
for whereasº
we have offendedº
againstºº
Yahwehº
[already], yeº
intendºº
to addºº
[more] toº
our sinsº
and toº
our trespass:º
forº
our trespassº
is great,º
and [there is] fierceº
wrathº
againstº
Israel.º |

clothedºº
allº
that were nakedº
among them, and arrayedºº

At thatº
timeº
did kingº
Ahazº
sendºº
untoº
the kingsº

to helpºº
him. |
|
28:17
because the Edomites{gr.Idumeans} had attacked [him], and smitten Judah{gr.Juda}, and taken a number of prisoners. |
|
28:17
For againº

and Gederoth,º
and Shochoº
with the villagesº
thereof, and Timnahº
with the villagesº

|
28:19
Forº
Yahwehº
broughtººº
Judahº
lowºº
because ofº
Ahazº
kingº
of Israel;º
forº
he madeºº
Judahº
naked,ººº
and transgressedºº
soreº
against Yahweh.º |

untoº
him, and distressedºº
him, but strengthenedºº
him not.º |
|
28:21
And Ahaz{gr.Achaz} took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria: but he was no help to him, |
|
28:21
Forº
Ahazº
took away a portionºº
[out] ofº
the houseº
of Yahweh,º
and [out] of the houseº
of the king,º
and of the princes,º
and gaveºº
[it] unto the kingº
of Assyria:º
but he helpedº
him not.º |
|
28:22 ¶
but only [troubled him] in his affliction: and he departed yet more from the Lord, and king Ahaz{gr.Achaz} said, |
|
28:22 ¶
And in the timeº
of his distressºº
did he trespassºº
yet moreºº
against Yahweh:º
thisº
[is that] kingº
Ahaz.º |
|
28:23
I will seek after the gods of Damascus that smite me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling-block to him, and to all Israel. |
|
28:23
For he sacrificedºº
unto the elohimº
of Damascus,º
which smoteºº
him: and he said,ºº
Becauseº
the elohimº
of the kingsº
of Syriaº
helpºº
them, [therefore] will I sacrificeºº
to them, that they may helpºº
me. But theyº
wereº
the ruinºº
of him, and of allº
Israel.º |
|
28:24

and shut upººº
the doorsº
of the houseº

and he madeºº
him altarsº
in everyº
cornerº
of Jerusalem.º |

several cityº
of Judahº
he madeºº
high placesº
to burn incenseºº
unto otherº
elohim,º

Yahwehº
Elohimº
of his fathers.º |
|
28:26 ¶
And the rest of his acts, and his deeds, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Judah{gr.Juda} and Israel. |
|
28:26 ¶
Now the restº
of his actsº
and of allº
his ways,º
firstº
and last,º
behold,º
they [are] writtenºº
inº
the bookº
of the kingsº
of Judahº
and Israel.º |
|
28:27
And Ahaz{gr.Achaz} slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; for they did not bring him into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias} his son reigned in his stead. |
|
28:27
And Ahazº
sleptºº
withº
his fathers,º
and they buriedºº
him in the city,º
[even] in Jerusalem:º
butº
they broughtºº
him notº
into the sepulchresº
of the kingsº
of Israel:º
and Hezekiahº
his sonº
reignedºº
in his stead.º |
