33:21. Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned two years in Jerusalem.
33:22. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father
had done: he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had
made, and served them.
33:23. And he did not humble himself before the lord, as Manasses his
father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sin.
33:24. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own
house.
33:25. But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had
killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 34
Josias destroyeth idolatry, repaireth the temple, and reneweth the
covenant between God and the people.
34:1. Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
one and thirty years in Jerusalem.
34:2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and
walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the
right hand, nor to the left.
34:3. And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he
began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after
he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places,
and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things.
34:4. And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and
demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and he cut down the
groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the
fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
34:5. And he burnt the bones of the priests on the altars of the idols,
and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem.
34:6. And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even
to Nephtali he demolished all.
34:7. And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had
broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples
throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
34:8. Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the
land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Elselias,
and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the
recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
34:9. And they came to Helcias the high priest: and received of him the
money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the
Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim,
and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem,
34:10. Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the
workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all
that was weak.
34:11. But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy
stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the
building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda had
destroyed.
34:12. And they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen
were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of
the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skilful to play on
instruments.
34:13. But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes,
and masters of the number of the Levites, and porters.
34:14. Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into
the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of
the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
