(14022007, 14, 22, 7, 'Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah''s journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.'),
(14022008, 14, 22, 8, 'Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah''s brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.'),

(14023008, 14, 23, 8, 'So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.'),
(14023009, 14, 23, 9, 'Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David''s and which were kept in the house of God.'),
(14023010, 14, 23, 10, 'And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.'),
(14023011, 14, 23, 11, 'Then they made the king''s son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.'),
(14023012, 14, 23, 12, 'Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:'),

Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!'),
(14023014, 14, 23, 14, 'Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.'),
(14023015, 14, 23, 15, 'So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king''s house by the doorway of the king''s horses; and there she was put to death.'),
(14023016, 14, 23, 16, 'And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord''s people.'),
(14023017, 14, 23, 17, 'Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.'),
(14023018, 14, 23, 18, 'And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.'),
(14023019, 14, 23, 19, 'And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord''s house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.'),
(14023020, 14, 23, 20, 'Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king''s house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.'),

(14024005, 14, 24, 5, 'And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.'),
(14024006, 14, 24, 6, 'Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?'),
(14024007, 14, 24, 7, 'For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.'),
(14024008, 14, 24, 8, 'So at the king''s order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.'),
(14024009, 14, 24, 9, 'And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.'),

They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.'),
(14024012, 14, 24, 12, 'Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord''s house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.'),
(14024013, 14, 24, 13, 'So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.'),
(14024014, 14, 24, 14, 'And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.'),
(14024015, 14, 24, 15, 'But Jehoiada became old and full of days, and he came to his end; he was a hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death.'),

(14024017, 14, 24, 17, 'Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.'),
(14024018, 14, 24, 18, 'And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.'),
(14024019, 14, 24, 19, 'And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.'),
(14024020, 14, 24, 20, 'Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up.'),
(14024021, 14, 24, 21, 'But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king''s order, in the outer square of the Lord''s house.'),
(14024022, 14, 24, 22, 'So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!'),
(14024023, 14, 24, 23, 'Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.'),
(14024024, 14, 24, 24, 'For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.'),
(14024025, 14, 24, 25, 'And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease,) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.'),
(14024026, 14, 24, 26, 'Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.'),
(14024027, 14, 24, 27, 'Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord''s house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.'),
(14025001, 14, 25, 1, 'Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother''s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.'),

(14025003, 14, 25, 3, 'Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father.'),
(14025004, 14, 25, 4, 'But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.'),
(14025005, 14, 25, 5, 'Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover.'),
(14025006, 14, 25, 6, 'And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.'),
(14025007, 14, 25, 7, 'But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.'),
(14025008, 14, 25, 8, 'But go yourself, and be strong in war; God will not let you go down before those who are fighting against you; for God has power to give help or to send you down before your attackers.'),
(14025009, 14, 25, 9, 'Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this.'),
(14025010, 14, 25, 10, 'So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.'),
(14025011, 14, 25, 11, 'Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;'),
(14025012, 14, 25, 12, 'And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.'),
(14025013, 14, 25, 13, 'But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.'),
(14025014, 14, 25, 14, 'Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.'),
(14025015, 14, 25, 15, 'And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands?'),
(14025016, 14, 25, 16, 'But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king''s government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God''s purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.'),
(14025017, 14, 25, 17, 'Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.'),

(14025019, 14, 25, 19, 'You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?'),
(14025020, 14, 25, 20, 'But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom.'),
(14025021, 14, 25, 21, 'And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah.'),

(16004015, 16, 4, 15, 'And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work'),

(16005005, 16, 5, 5, 'But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children: and now we are giving our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants, and some of our daughters are servants even now: and we have no power to put a stop to it; for other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.'),
(16005006, 16, 5, 6, 'And on hearing their outcry and what they said I was very angry.'),
(16005007, 16, 5, 7, 'And after turning it over in my mind, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them, Every one of you is taking interest from his countryman. And I got together a great meeting of protest.'),
(16005008, 16, 5, 8, 'And I said to them, We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free, who were servants and prisoners of the nations: and would you now give up your brothers for a price, and are they to become our property? Then they said nothing, answering not a word.'),
(16005009, 16, 5, 9, 'And I said, What you are doing is not good: is it not the more necessary for you to go in the fear of our God, because of the shame which the nations may put on us?'),
(16005010, 16, 5, 10, 'Even I and my servants have been taking interest for the money and the grain we have let them have. So now, let us give up this thing.'),
(16005011, 16, 5, 11, 'Give back to them this very day their fields, their vine-gardens, their olive-gardens, and their houses, as well as a hundredth part of the money and the grain and the wine and the oil which you have taken from them.'),
(16005012, 16, 5, 12, 'Then they said, We will give them back, and take nothing for them; we will do as you say. Then I sent for the priests and made them take an oath that they would keep this agreement.'),
(16005013, 16, 5, 13, 'And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.'),
(16005014, 16, 5, 14, 'Now from the time when I was made ruler of the people in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year till the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my servants have never taken the food which was the right of the ruler.'),
(16005015, 16, 5, 15, 'But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.'),
(16005016, 16, 5, 16, 'And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.'),
(16005017, 16, 5, 17, 'And more than this, a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers were guests at my table, in addition to those who came to us from the nations round about us.'),
(16005018, 16, 5, 18, 'Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.'),
(16005019, 16, 5, 19, 'Keep in mind, O my God, for my good, all I have done for this people.'),
(16006001, 16, 6, 1, 'Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);'),
(16006002, 16, 6, 2, 'Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.'),
(16006003, 16, 6, 3, 'And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?'),
(16006004, 16, 6, 4, 'And four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.'),
(16006005, 16, 6, 5, 'Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;'),
(16006006, 16, 6, 6, 'And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king''s authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;'),
(16006007, 16, 6, 7, 'And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.'),
(16006008, 16, 6, 8, 'Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.'),
(16006009, 16, 6, 9, 'For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.'),
(16006010, 16, 6, 10, 'And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.'),
(16006011, 16, 6, 11, 'And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.'),
(16006012, 16, 6, 12, 'Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.'),
(16006013, 16, 6, 13, 'For this reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on me.'),
(16006014, 16, 6, 14, 'Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me.'),
(16006015, 16, 6, 15, 'So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.'),
(16006016, 16, 6, 16, 'And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.'),
(16006017, 16, 6, 17, 'And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters came to them.'),
(16006018, 16, 6, 18, 'For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.'),
(16006019, 16, 6, 19, 'And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.'),

(17002010, 17, 2, 10, 'Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.'),

(17002019, 17, 2, 19, 'And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king''s house.'),
(17002020, 17, 2, 20, 'Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.'),

(17003001, 17, 3, 1, 'After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.'),
(17003002, 17, 3, 2, 'And all the king''s servants who were in the king''s house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.'),
(17003003, 17, 3, 3, 'Then the king''s servants who were in the king''s house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king''s order?'),
(17003004, 17, 3, 4, 'Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai''s behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.'),
(17003005, 17, 3, 5, 'And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.'),

(17004012, 17, 4, 12, 'And they said these words to Mordecai.'),
(17004013, 17, 4, 13, 'Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king''s house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.'),

(17004015, 17, 4, 15, 'Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:'),
(17004016, 17, 4, 16, 'Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.'),
(17004017, 17, 4, 17, 'So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said.'),

(17005003, 17, 5, 3, 'Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.'),
(17005004, 17, 5, 4, 'And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.'),
(17005005, 17, 5, 5, 'Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.'),

(17005011, 17, 5, 11, 'And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.'),
(17005012, 17, 5, 12, 'And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.'),
(17005013, 17, 5, 13, 'But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king''s doorway.'),
(17005014, 17, 5, 14, 'Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.'),

(17006003, 17, 6, 3, 'And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.'),
(17006004, 17, 6, 4, 'Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king''s authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.'),
(17006005, 17, 6, 5, 'And the king''s servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.'),
(17006006, 17, 6, 6, 'So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman''s mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?'),

(17006013, 17, 6, 13, 'And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.'),
(17006014, 17, 6, 14, 'While they were still talking, the king''s servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.'),
(17007001, 17, 7, 1, 'So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.'),

(17007005, 17, 7, 5, 'Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?'),
(17007006, 17, 7, 6, 'And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.'),
(17007007, 17, 7, 7, 'And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king''s purpose was evil against him.'),
(17007008, 17, 7, 8, 'Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was.
