of
the
people, saying, `Make
ye
a
passover to
Jehovah
your God, as it is written on

book of the
covenant. '

not holden
such
a
passover from the days of the judges that
judged Israel, nor
in
all the days of the kings of Israel, nor
of the kings of Judah;

not been
made
like
this
passover from the days of the judges who
judged Israel, even
all the days of the kings of Israel, and
of the kings of Judah;
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein
this passover was

the
workers
with
familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images

perform
the words of the law which
were
written in
the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the
LORD
.

to
establish
the words of the law that
are
written on

And like unto
him was
there no
king
before him ,
that
turned to
the
LORD
with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses ;
neither
after him arose
there any
like him.
And like him there hath
not
been
before him a
king
who
turned back
unto
Jehovah
with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses ,
and
after him there hath
none
risen
like him.
Notwithstanding
the
LORD
turned
not from the fierceness of his great wrath,
wherewith
his anger was
kindled
against Judah, because of all the provocations that
Manasseh had
provoked him withal.
Only,
Jehovah
hath
not turned
back
from the fierceness of His great anger
with
which
His anger burned
against Judah, because of all the provocations with
which
Manasseh provoked him ,
And the
LORD
said
, I
will
remove
Judah
also out
of
my sight
, as I have
removed
Israel, and will
cast
off
this city Jerusalem
which
I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall
be
there.
and Jehovah
saith
, `
Also Judah
I
turn
aside
from
my presence
, as I turned
Israel aside
, and I
have
rejected
this city that
I have chosen --
Jerusalem
, and the house of which I said, My name is
there. '

put
him in bands

in
to Egypt, and dieth
there.

gave
the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but

the commandment
of Pharaoh :
he exacted the silver and the gold of
the people of the land, of
every
one
according
to his
taxation,
to
give it
unto
Pharaohnechoh
.
And the silver and the gold hath
Jehoiakim
given
to Pharaoh; only
he valued
the land to give the silver
by
the command
of Pharaoh ;
from
each,
according
to
his
valuation,
he exacted the silver and the gold ,
from
the people of the land, to give to
Pharaoh-Nechoh
.
