1  Ahaz²⁷¹ was twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ but he did⁶²¹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ like David¹⁷³² his father:¹

2  For he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and made⁶²¹³ also¹⁵⁷¹ molten images⁴⁵⁴¹ for Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

3  Moreover he¹⁹³¹ burnt incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ and burnt^{1197 853} his children¹¹²¹ in the fire,⁷⁸⁴ after the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of the heathen¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had cast out³⁴²³ before^{4480 6440} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

4  He sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ also and burnt incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and on⁵⁹²¹ the hills,¹³⁸⁹ and under⁸⁴⁷⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green⁷⁴⁸⁸ tree.⁶⁰⁸⁶

5  Wherefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ him into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria;⁷⁵⁸ and they smote⁵²²¹ him, and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ a great¹⁴¹⁹ multitude of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them captives,⁷⁶³³ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Damascus.¹⁸³⁴ And he was also¹⁵⁷¹ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who smote⁵²²¹ him with a great¹⁴¹⁹ slaughter.⁴³⁴⁷

6  For Pekah⁶⁴⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Remaliah⁷⁴²⁵ slew²⁰²⁶ in Judah³⁰⁶³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ in one²⁵⁹ day,³¹¹⁷ which were all³⁶⁰⁵ valiant men;^{1121 2428} because they had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

7  And Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ slew^{2026 853} Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ and Azrikam⁵⁸⁴⁰ the governor⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and Elkanah⁵¹¹ that was next⁴⁹³² to the king.⁴⁴²⁸

8  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ carried away captive⁷⁶¹⁷ of their brethren^{4480 251} two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ women,⁸⁰² sons,¹¹²¹ and daughters,¹³²³ and took also away^{962 1571} much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and brought^{935 853} the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

9  But a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ there,⁸⁰³³ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Oded:⁵⁷⁵² and he went out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the host⁶⁶³⁵ that came⁹³⁵ to Samaria,⁸¹¹¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers¹ was wroth²⁵³⁴ with⁵⁹²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ he hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into your hand,³⁰²⁷ and ye have slain²⁰²⁶ them in a rage²¹⁹⁷ that reacheth up⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

10  And now⁶²⁵⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ purpose⁵⁵⁹ to keep under³⁵³³ the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ for bondmen⁵⁶⁵⁰ and bondwomen⁸¹⁹⁸ unto you: but are there not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ you, even⁷⁵³⁵ with you,⁸⁵⁹ sins⁸¹⁹ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God?⁴³⁰

11  Now⁶²⁵⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me therefore, and deliver⁷⁷²⁵ the captives⁷⁶³³ again, which⁸³⁴ ye have taken captive⁷⁶¹⁷ of your brethren:^{4480 251} for³⁵⁸⁸ the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ wrath⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is upon⁵⁹²¹ you.

12  Then certain³⁷⁶ of the heads^{4480 7218} of the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Johanan,³⁰⁷⁶ Berechiah¹²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Meshillemoth,⁴⁹¹⁹ and Jehizkiah³¹⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Shallum,⁷⁹⁶⁷ and Amasa⁶⁰²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hadlai,²³¹¹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ them that came⁹³⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the war,⁶⁶³⁵

13  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ bring in^{935 853} the captives⁷⁶³³ hither:²⁰⁰⁸ for whereas³⁵⁸⁸ we have offended against^{819 5921} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ already, ye⁸⁵⁹ intend⁵⁵⁹ to add³²⁵⁴ more to⁵⁹²¹ our sins²⁴⁰³ and to⁵⁹²¹ our trespass:⁸¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ our trespass⁸¹⁹ is great,⁷²²⁷ and there is fierce²⁷⁴⁰ wrath⁶³⁹ against⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  So the armed men²⁵⁰² left^{5800 853} the captives⁷⁶³³ and the spoil⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

15  And the men³⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ were expressed⁵³⁴⁴ by name⁸⁰³⁴ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and took²³⁸⁸ the captives,⁷⁶³³ and with⁴⁴⁸⁰ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ that were naked⁴⁶³⁶ among them, and arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ them, and shod⁵²⁷⁴ them, and gave them to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink,⁸²⁴⁸ and anointed⁵⁴⁸⁰ them, and carried⁵⁰⁹⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ the feeble³⁷⁸² of them upon asses,²⁵⁴³ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Jericho,³⁴⁰⁵ the city of palm trees,⁵⁸⁹⁹ to⁶⁸¹ their brethren:²⁵¹ then they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

16  At that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ did king⁴⁴²⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁵⁹²¹ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ to help⁵⁸²⁶ him.

17  For again⁵⁷⁵⁰ the Edomites¹³⁰ had come⁹³⁵ and smitten⁵²²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ captives.⁷⁶²⁸

18  The Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ also had invaded⁶⁵⁸⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the low country,⁸²¹⁹ and of the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and had taken^{3920 853} Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ and Ajalon,³⁵⁷ and Gederoth,¹⁴⁵⁰ and Shocho⁷⁷⁵⁵ with the villages¹³²³ thereof, and Timnah⁸⁵⁵³ with the villages¹³²³ thereof, Gimzo¹⁵⁷⁹ also and the villages¹³²³ thereof: and they dwelt³⁴²⁷ there.⁸⁰³³

19  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ brought^{3665 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ low because of⁵⁶⁶⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he made Judah naked,^{6544 3063} and transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ sore⁴⁶⁰⁴ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

20  And Tiglath-pileser⁸⁴⁰⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ came⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ him, and distressed⁶⁶⁹⁶ him, but strengthened²³⁸⁸ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ took away a portion²⁵⁰⁵ out of ⁸⁵³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and of the princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria:⁸⁰⁴ but he helped⁵⁸³³ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

22  And in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of his distress⁶⁸⁸⁷ did he trespass⁴⁶⁰³ yet more³²⁵⁴ against the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ this¹⁹³¹ is that king⁴⁴²⁸ Ahaz.²⁷¹

23  For he sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ unto the gods⁴³⁰ of Damascus,¹⁸³⁴ which smote⁵²²¹ him: and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ the gods⁴³⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ help⁵⁸²⁶ them, therefore will I sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ to them, that they may help⁵⁸²⁶ me. But they¹⁹⁹² were¹⁹⁶¹ the ruin³⁷⁸² of him, and of all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  And Ahaz²⁷¹ gathered together^{622 853} the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and cut in pieces^{7112 853} the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and shut up^{5462 853} the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and he made⁶²¹³ him altars⁴¹⁹⁶ in every³⁶⁰⁵ corner⁶⁴³⁸ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

25  And in every³⁶⁰⁵ several city^{5892 5892} of Judah³⁰⁶³ he made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and provoked to anger^{3707 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of his acts¹⁶⁹⁷ and of all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

27  And Ahaz²⁷¹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city,⁵⁸⁹² even in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ but³⁵⁸⁸ they brought⁹³⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ into the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

1 υἱὸς εἴκοσι ἐτῶν Αχαζ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ δέκα ἓξ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου ὡς Δαυιδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ γὰρ γλυπτὰ ἐποίησεν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν

3 καὶ ἔθυεν ἐν Γαιβενενομ καὶ διῆγεν τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ διὰ πυρὸς κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξωλέθρευσεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ

4 καὶ ἐθυμία ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους

5 καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν καὶ ἤγαγεν εἰς Δαμασκόν καὶ γὰρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ισραηλ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην

6 καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν Φακεε ὁ τοῦ Ρομελια βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ἐν Ιουδα ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν ἰσχύι ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς καταλιπεῖν τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν

7 καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν Εζεκρι ὁ δυνατὸς τοῦ Εφραιμ τὸν Μαασαιαν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸν Εσδρικαμ ἡγούμενον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Ελκανα τὸν διάδοχον τοῦ βασιλέως

8 καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τριακοσίας χιλιάδας γυναῖκας υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ σκῦλα εἰς Σαμάρειαν

9 καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου Ωδηδ ὄνομα αὐτῷ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ κυρίου θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὸν Ιουδαν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀργῇ ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔφθακεν

10 καὶ νῦν υἱοὺς Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ὑμεῖς λέγετε κατακτήσεσθαι εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας οὐκ ἰδού εἰμι μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν μαρτυρῆσαι κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν

11 καὶ νῦν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀποστρέψατε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἣν ᾐχμαλωτεύσατε τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὅτι ὀργὴ θυμοῦ κυρίου ἐφ᾽ ὑμῖν

12 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Εφραιμ Ουδια ὁ τοῦ Ιωανου καὶ Βαραχιας ὁ τοῦ Μοσολαμωθ καὶ Εζεκιας ὁ τοῦ Σελλημ καὶ Αμασιας ὁ τοῦ Χοδλι ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τοῦ πολέμου

13 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οὐ μὴ εἰσαγάγητε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἁμαρτάνειν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ὑμεῖς λέγετε προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἄγνοιαν ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν καὶ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ

14 καὶ ἀφῆκαν οἱ πολεμισταὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πάσης τῆς ἐκκλησίας

15 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες οἳ ἐπεκλήθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι καὶ ἀντελάβοντο τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας καὶ πάντας τοὺς γυμνοὺς περιέβαλον ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑπέδησαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκαν φαγεῖν καὶ ἀλείψασθαι καὶ ἀντελάβοντο ἐν ὑποζυγίοις παντὸς ἀσθενοῦντος καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ιεριχω πόλιν φοινίκων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Σαμάρειαν

16 ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν Αχαζ πρὸς βασιλέα Ασσουρ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ

17 καὶ ἐν τούτῳ ὅτι Ιδουμαῖοι ἐπέθεντο καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν Ιουδα καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν

18 καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ ἀπὸ λιβὸς τοῦ Ιουδα καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Βαιθσαμυς καὶ τὴν Αιλων καὶ τὴν Γαδηρωθ καὶ τὴν Σωχω καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Θαμνα καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Γαμζω καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ

19 ὅτι ἐταπείνωσεν κύριος τὸν Ιουδαν δι᾽ Αχαζ βασιλέα Ιουδα ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀποστάσει ἀπὸ κυρίου

20 καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν Θαγλαθφελλασαρ βασιλεὺς Ασσουρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν

21 καὶ ἔλαβεν Αχαζ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ασσουρ καὶ οὐκ εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτῷ

22 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τῷ θλιβῆναι αὐτὸν καὶ προσέθηκεν τοῦ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς

23 ἐκζητήσω τοὺς θεοὺς Δαμασκοῦ τοὺς τύπτοντάς με καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι θεοὶ βασιλέως Συρίας αὐτοὶ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτούς αὐτοῖς τοίνυν θύσω καὶ ἀντιλήμψονταί μου καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς σκῶλον καὶ παντὶ Ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἀπέστησεν Αχαζ τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου καὶ κατέκοψεν αὐτὰ καὶ ἔκλεισεν τὰς θύρας οἴκου κυρίου καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἐν πάσῃ γωνίᾳ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

25 καὶ ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἐν Ιουδα ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ θυμιᾶν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις καὶ παρώργισαν κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν

26 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ αἱ πρῶται καὶ αἱ ἔσχαται ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ιουδα καὶ Ισραηλ

27 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς τάφους τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Εζεκιας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

1 Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Non fecit rectum in conspectu Domini sicut David pater ejus,

2 sed ambulavit in viis regum Israël, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim.

3 Ipse est qui adolevit incensum in valle Benennom, et lustravit filios suos in igne juxta ritum gentium quas interfecit Dominus in adventu filiorum Israël.

4 Sacrificabat quoque, et thymiama succendebat in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.

5 Tradiditque eum Dominus Deus ejus in manu regis Syriæ, qui percussit eum, magnamque prædam cepit de ejus imperio, et adduxit in Damascum: manibus quoque regis Israël traditus est, et percussus plaga grandi.

6 Occiditque Phacee filius Romeliæ, de Juda centum viginti millia in die uno, omnes viros bellatores: eo quod reliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

7 Eodem tempore occidit Zechri, vir potens ex Ephraim, Maasiam filium regis, et Ezricam ducem domus ejus, Elcanam quoque secundum a rege.

8 Ceperuntque filii Israël de fratribus suis ducenta millia mulierum, puerorum, et puellarum, et infinitam prædam: pertuleruntque eam in Samariam.

9 Ea tempestate erat ibi propheta Domini, nomine Oded: qui egressus obviam exercitui venienti in Samariam, dixit eis: Ecce iratus Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum contra Juda, tradidit eos in manibus vestris, et occidistis eos atrociter, ita ut ad cælum pertingeret vestra crudelitas.

10 Insuper filios Juda et Jerusalem vultis vobis subjicere in servos et ancillas: quod nequaquam facto opus est: peccastis enim super hoc Domino Deo vestro.

11 Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis.

12 Steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim, Azarias filius Johanan, Barachias filius Mosollamoth, Ezechias filius Sellum, et Amasa filius Adali, contra eos qui veniebant de prælio,

13 et dixerunt eis: Non introducetis huc captivos, ne peccemus Domino. Quare vultis adjicere super peccata nostra, et vetera cumulare delicta? grande quippe peccatum est, et ira furoris Domini imminet super Israël.

14 Dimiseruntque viri bellatores prædam, et universa quæ ceperant, coram principibus, et omni multitudine.

15 Steteruntque viri quos supra memoravimus, et apprehendentes captivos, omnesque qui nudi erant, vestierunt de spoliis: cumque vestissent eos, et calceassent, et refecissent cibo ac potu, unxissentque propter laborem, et adhibuissent eis curam: quicumque ambulare non poterant, et erant imbecillo corpore, imposuerunt eos jumentis, et adduxerunt Jericho civitatem palmarum ad fratres eorum, ipsique reversi sunt in Samariam.

16 Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium.

17 Veneruntque Idumæi, et percusserunt multos ex Juda, et ceperunt prædam magnam.

18 Philisthiim quoque diffusi sunt per urbes campestres, et ad meridiem Juda: ceperuntque Bethsames, et Ajalon, et Gaderoth, Socho quoque, et Thamnan, et Gamzo, cum viculis suis, et habitaverunt in eis.

19 Humiliaverat enim Dominus Judam propter Achaz regem Juda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum.

20 Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit.

21 Igitur Achaz, spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.

22 Insuper et tempore angustiæ suæ auxit contemptum in Dominum, ipse per se rex Achaz,

23 immolavit diis Damasci victimas percussoribus suis, et dixit: Dii regum Syriæ auxiliantur eis, quos ego placabo hostiis, et aderunt mihi: cum e contrario ipsi fuerint ruinæ ei, et universo Israël.

24 Direptis itaque Achaz omnibus vasis domus Dei, atque confractis, clausit januas templi Dei, et fecit sibi altaria in universis angulis Jerusalem.

25 In omnibus quoque urbibus Juda exstruxit aras ad cremandum thus, atque ad iracundiam provocavit Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

26 Reliqua autem sermonum ejus, et omnium operum suorum priorum et novissimorum, scripta sunt in libro regum Juda et Israël.

27 Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate Jerusalem: neque enim receperunt eum in sepulchra regum Israël. Regnavitque Ezechias filius ejus pro eo.
