10: NowH6258 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 youH0859 proposeH0559 to force to beH3533 maleH5650 and female slavesH8198 [but [are] notH3808 alsoH7535 you,H0859 withH5973 guiltyH0819 before YahwehH3068 your God?H0430

11: therefore nowH6258 hear meH8085 and returnH7725 the captivesH7633 whomH0834 you have taken captiveH7617 from your brothers,H0251 forH3588 the fierceH2740 wrath [is]H0639 of YahwehH3069 upon you.H5921

12: And stood upH6965 someH0376 of the headsH7218 of the sonsH1121 of Ephraim,H0669 AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of Jehohanan,H3076 BerechiahH1296 sonH1121 of Meshillemoth,H4919 HezekiahH3169 sonH1121 of Shallum,H7967 and AmasaH6021 sonH1121 of Hadlai,H2311 againstH5921 those who cameH0935 fromH4480 the war,H6635

13: and saidH0559 notH3808 You shall bringH0935 -H0853 the captivesH7633 here,H2008 for [already]H3588 have offendedH0819 YahwehH3068 weH5921 YouH0859 intendH0559 to addH3254 toH5921 our sinsH2403 and toH5921 our guilt-H0819 forH3588 is great,H7227 guiltH0819 and fierceH2740 [there is] wrathH0639 againstH5921 Israel.H3478

14: So leftH5800 the armed menH2502 -H0853 the captivesH7633 andH0853 the spoilH0961 beforeH6440 the leadersH8269 and allH3605 the assembly.H6951

15: And rose up,H6965 the menH0376 whoH0834 were designatedH5344 by nameH8034 and tookH2388 the captives,H7633 and allH3605 who were naked among themH4636 they clothedH3847 fromH4480 the spoilH7998 and dressed themH3847 and gave them sandalsH5274 and gave them foodH0398 and drink,H8248 and anointed themH5480 and they let rideH5095 on donkeys,H2543 allH3605 the feeble onesH3782 so they brought themH0935 at Jericho,H3405 Palm CityH5892 of palmH8558 toH0681 their brothers-H0251 and they returnedH7725 to Samaria.H8111

16: At timeH6256 thatH1931 sentH7971 KingH4428 AhazH0271 toH5921 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH0804 to helpH5826

17: For againH5750 the EdomitesH0130 had comeH0935 and attackedH5221 Judah,H3063 and carried awayH7617 captives.H7628

18: And the PhilistinesH6430 had invadedH6584 the citiesH5892 of the lowland,H8219 and of the NegevH5045 of Judah,H3063 and had takenH3920 -H0853 Beth Shemesh,H1053 andH0853 Aijalon,H0357 andH0853 Gederoth,H1450 andH0853 SochohH7755 and with its villagesH1323 andH0853 TimnahH8553 and with its villagesH1323 andH0853 GimzoH1579 andH0853 with its villagesH1323 and they dweltH3427 there.H8033

19: ForH3588 broughtH3665 YahwehH3068 -H0853 JudahH3063 low becauseH5668 of AhazH0271 kingH4428 of Israel-H3478 forH3588 he had encouraged moral declineH6544 in JudahH3063 and continuallyH4603 had been unfaithfulH4604 to Yahweh.H3068

20: And cameH0935 to himH5921 Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 and distressedH6696 and notH3808 did assist him.H2388

21: ForH3588 took part [of the treasures]H2505 AhazH0271 fromH0853 the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and fromH0853 the houseH1004 of the king,H4428 and from the leaders,H8269 and he gave [it]H5414 to the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 but notH3808 he did helpH5833

22: And in the timeH6256 of distressH6887 and increasinglyH3254 King Ahaz became unfaithfulH4603 to Yahweh.H3068 That [was]H1931 KingH4428 Ahaz.H0271

23: For he sacrificedH2076 to the godsH0430 of Damascus,H1834 which had defeatedH5221 and saying,H0559 becauseH3588 the godsH0430 of the kingsH4428 of SyriaH0758 areH1992 helpingH5826 themH0853 I will sacrificeH2076 that they may help meH5826 but theyH1992 wereH1961 the ruinH3782 and of allH3605 Israel.H3478

24: So gatheredH0622 AhazH0271 -H0853 the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of God,H0430 and cut in piecesH7112 -H0853 the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of God,H0430 and shut upH5462 -H0853 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and madeH6213 altarsH4196 in everyH3605 cornerH6438 of Jerusalem.H3389

25: And in everyH3605 cityH5892 and [single] cityH5892 of JudahH3063 he madeH6213 high placesH1116 to burn incenseH6999 to gods,H0430 otherH0312 and provoked to angerH3707 -H0853 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of his fathers.H0001

26: And the restH3499 of his actsH1697 and allH3605 his ways,H1870 from firstH7223 and to last,H0314 indeedH2005 they [are] writtenH3789 inH5921 the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and Israel.H3478

27: So restedH7901 AhazH0271 withH5973 his fathers,H0001 and they buried himH6912 in the city,H5892 in Jerusalem,H3389 butH3588 notH3808 they did bring himH0935 into the tombsH6913 of the kingsH4428 of Israel-H3478 and reignedH4427 HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
