ΚΑΙ ἔλαβε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν ᾿Οζίαν, καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ᾿Αμασίου. 2 αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Αἰλάθ, αὐτὸς ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὴν τῷ ᾿Ιούδᾳ μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι τὸν βασιλέα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ. 3 υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Οζίας καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιεχελία ἀπὸ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 4 καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ᾿Αμασίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ. 5 καὶ ἦν ἐκζητῶν τὸν Κύριον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ζαχαρίου τοῦ συνιόντος ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου· καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἐζήτησε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ εὐώδωσεν αὐτῷ Κύριος. 6 καὶ ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἐπολέμησε πρὸς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ κατέσπασε τὰ τείχη Γὲθ καὶ τὰ τείχη ᾿Ιαβνὴ καὶ τὰ τείχη ᾿Αζώτου καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πόλεις ᾿Αζώτου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις. 7 καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ῎Αραβας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Μιναίους. 8 καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ Μιναῖοι δῶρα τῷ ᾿Οζίᾳ, καὶ ἦν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἕως εἰσόδου Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι κατίσχυσεν ἕως ἄνω. 9 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ᾿Οζίας πύργους ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς γωνίας καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς φάραγγος καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν γωνιῶν καὶ κατίσχυσε. 10 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πύργους ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἐλατόμησε λάκκους πολλούς, ὅτι κτήνη πολλὰ ὑπῆρχεν αὐτῷ ἐν Σεφηλᾷ καὶ ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ καὶ ἀμπελουργοὶ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ, ὅτι γεωργὸς ἦν. 11 καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ ᾿Οζίᾳ δύναμις ποιοῦσα πόλεμον καὶ ἐκπορευομένη εἰς παράταξιν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ εἰσπορευομένη εἰς παράταξιν εἰς ἀριθμόν, καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν διὰ χειρὸς ᾿Ιεϊὴλ τοῦ γραμματέως καὶ Μαασίου τοῦ κριτοῦ, διὰ χειρὸς ᾿Ανανίου τοῦ διαδόχου τοῦ βασιλέως. 12 πᾶς ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν πατριαρχῶν τῶν δυνατῶν εἰς πόλεμον δισχίλιοι ἑξακόσιοι, 13 καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν δύναμις πολεμικὴ τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλιοι καί πεντακόσιοι· οὗτοι οἱ ποιοῦντες πόλεμον ἐν δυνάμει ἰσχύος βοηθῆσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους. 14 καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτοῖς ᾿Οζίας πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα καὶ περικεφαλαίας καὶ θώρακας καὶ τόξα καὶ σφενδόνας εἰς λίθους. 15 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μηχανὰς μεμηχανευμένας λογιστοῦ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τῶν πύργων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν γωνιῶν βάλλειν βέλεσι καὶ λίθοις μεγάλοις· καὶ ἠκούσθη ἡ κατασκευὴ αὐτῶν ἕως πόρρω, ὅτι ἐθαυμαστώθη τοῦ βοηθῆναι, ἕως οὗ κατίσχυσε. 16 Καὶ ὡς κατίσχυσεν, ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταφθεῖραι, καὶ ἠδίκησεν ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ναὸν Κυρίου θυμιάσαι ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν θυμιαμάτων. 17 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ᾿Αζαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου ὀγδοήκοντα υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ 18 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ ᾿Οζίαν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· οὐ σοί, ᾿Οζία, θυμιάσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀλλ’ ἢ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν υἱοῖς ᾿Ααρὼν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις θυμιάσαι· ἔξελθε ἐκ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος, ὅτι ἀπέστης ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο εἰς δόξαν παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ. 19 καὶ ἐθυμώθη ᾿Οζίας, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ θυμιατήριον τοῦ θυμιάσαι ἐν τῷ ναῷ, καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμωθῆναι αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ ἡ λέπρα ἀνέτειλεν ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐναντίον τῶν ἱερέων ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἐπάνω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῶν θυμιαμάτων. 20 καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν ᾿Αζαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ πρῶτος καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς λεπρὸς ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ· καὶ κατέσπευσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἔσπευσεν ἐξελθεῖν, ὅτι ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν Κύριος. 21 καὶ ᾿Οζίας ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν λεπρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας τῆς τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν οἴκῳ ἀφφουσὼθ ἐκάθητο λεπρός, ὅτι ἀπεσχίσθη ἀπὸ οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ ᾿Ιωάθαμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς. 22 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι ᾿Οζίου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι γεγραμμένοι ὑπὸ ᾿Ιεσσίου τοῦ προφήτου. 23 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Οζίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ τῆς ταφῆς τῶν βασιλέων, ὅτι εἶπαν ὅτι λεπρός ἐστι. καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωάθαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

ΩΝ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Αμασίας καὶ εἰκοσιεννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιωαδὲν ἀπὸ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 2 καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει. 3 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέστη ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς φονεύσαντας τὸν βασιλέα πατέρα αὐτοῦ· 4 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπέκτεινε κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ νόμου Κυρίου, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος λέγων· οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ τέκνων, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἕκαστος τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται. 5 καὶ συνήγαγεν ᾿Αμασίας τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἀνέστησεν αὐτοὺς κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν εἰς χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους ἐν παντὶ ᾿Ιούδᾳ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς τριακοσίας χιλιάδας ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον δυνατοὺς κρατοῦντας δόρυ καὶ θυρεόν. 6 καὶ ἐμισθώσατο ἀπὸ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας δυνατοὺς ἰσχύϊ ἑκατὸν ταλάντων ἀργυρίου. 7 καὶ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· βασιλεῦ, οὐ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ δύναμις ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Κύριος μετά ᾿Ισραήλ, πάντων τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Εφραίμ. 8 ὅτι ἐὰν ὑπολάβῃς κατισχῦσαι ἐν τούτοις, καὶ τροπώσεταί σε Κύριος ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν, ὅτι ἐστὶ παρὰ Κυρίου καὶ ἰσχῦσαι καὶ τροπώσασθαι. 9 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αμασίας τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ τί ποιήσω τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα, ἃ ἔδωκα τῇ δυνάμει ᾿Ισραήλ; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἔστι τῷ Κυρίῳ δοῦναί σοι πλεῖστα τούτων. 10 καὶ διεχώρισεν ᾿Αμασίας τῇ δυνάμει τῇ ἐλθούσῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ ᾿Εφραὶμ ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθησαν σφόδρα ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ. 11 καὶ ᾿Αμασίας κατίσχυσε καὶ παρέλαβε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν ἁλῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Σηεὶρ δέκα χιλιάδας· 12 καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἐζώγρησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἔφερον αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ κρημνοῦ καὶ κατεκρήμνιζον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄκρου τοῦ κρημνοῦ, καὶ πάντες διερρήγνυντο. 13 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως, οὓς ἀπέστρεψεν ᾿Αμασίας τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις ᾿Ιούδα ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας ἕως Βαιθωρὼν καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς τρεῖς χιλιάδας καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά. 14 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν ᾿Αμασίαν πατάξαντα τὴν ᾿Ιδουμαίαν καὶ ἤνεγκε πρὸς αὐτοὺς τοὺς θεοὺς υἱῶν Σηεὶρ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἑαυτῷ εἰς θεοὺς καὶ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν προσεκύνει καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ἔθυε. 15 καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐπὶ ᾿Αμασίαν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ προφήτην καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί ἐζήτησας τοὺς Θεοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, οἳ οὐκ ἐξείλοντο τὸν λαὸν ἑαυτῶν ἐκ χειρός σου; 16 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μὴ σύμβουλον τοῦ βασιλέως δέδωκά σε; πρόσεχε ἵνα μὴ μαστιγωθῇς. καὶ ἐσιώπησεν ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι γινώσκω ὅτι ἐβούλετο ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ καταφθεῖραί σε, ὅτι ἐποίησας τοῦτο καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσας τῆς συμβουλίας μου. 17 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ᾿Αμασίας ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰς υἱὸν ᾿Ιωάχαζ υἱοῦ ᾿Ιηοὺ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· δεῦρο καὶ ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις. 18 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωὰς βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Αμασίαν βασιλέα ᾿Ιούδα λέγων· ὁ ἀχοὺχ ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ λέγων· δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐλεύσεται τά θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ· καὶ ἦλθον τὰ θηρία καὶ κατεπάτησαν τὸν ἀχούχ. 19 εἶπας· ἰδοὺ ἐπάταξα τὴν ᾿Ιδουμαίαν καὶ ἐπαίρει σε ἡ καρδία σου ἡ βαρεῖα· νῦν κάθισον ἐν οἴκῳ σου καὶ ἱνατί συμβάλλεις ἐν κακίᾳ καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ ᾿Ιούδας μετὰ σοῦ; 20 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ᾿Αμασίας, ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας, ὅτι ἐξεζήτησε τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ᾿Ιδουμαίων. 21 καὶ ἀνέβη ᾿Ιωὰς βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀλλήλοις αὐτὸς καὶ ᾿Αμασίας βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμύς, ἥ ἐστι τοῦ ᾿Ιούδα. 22 καὶ ἐτροπώθη ᾿Ιούδας κατὰ πρόσωπον ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ. 23 καὶ τὸν ᾿Αμασίαν βασιλέα ᾿Ιούδα τὸν τοῦ ᾿Ιωὰς υἱοῦ ᾿Ιωάχαζ κατέλαβεν ᾿Ιωὰς βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ἀπὸ πύλης ᾿Εφραὶμ ἕως πύλης γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις· 24 καὶ πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ παρὰ τῷ ᾿Αβδεδὸμ καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν. 25 καὶ ἔζησεν ᾿Αμασίας ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ιωὰς βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν ᾿Ιωὰς τὸν τοῦ ᾿Ιωάχαζ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔτη δεκαπέντε. 26 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι ᾿Αμασίου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ᾿Ισραήλ; 27 καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ᾧ ἀπέστη ᾿Αμασίας ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ ἐπίθεσιν, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχὶς καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ. 28 καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῶν ἵππων καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.

ΩΝ ἐτῶν ἑπτὰ ᾿Ιωὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Σαβιὰ ἐκ Βηρσαβεέ. 2 καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Ιωὰς τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ᾿Ιωδαὲ τοῦ ἱερέως. 3 καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ιωδαέ δύο γυναῖκας ἑαυτῷ, καὶ ἐγέννησαν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας. 4 καὶ ἐγένετο μετά ταῦτα καί ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν ᾿Ιωὰς ἐπισκευάσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου. 5 καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἐξέλθατε εἰς τὰς πόλεις ᾿Ιούδα καὶ συναγάγετε ἀπὸ παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀργύριον κατισχῦσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐνιαυτὸν κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ σπεύσατε λαλῆσαι· καὶ οὐκ ἔσπευσαν οἱ Λευῖται. 6 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιωὰς τὸν ᾿Ιωδαέ τὸν ἄρχοντα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· διατί οὐκ ἐπεσκέψω περὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν τοῦ εἰσενέγκαι ἀπὸ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὸ κεκριμένον ὑπὸ Μωυσῆ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου; 7 ὅτι Γοθολία ἦν ἡ ἄνομος, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῆς κατέσπασαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ γὰρ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου Κυρίου ἐποίησαν ταῖς Βααλίμ. 8 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· γενηθήτω γλωσσόκομον καὶ τεθήτω ἐν πύλῃ οἴκου Κυρίου ἔξω· 9 καὶ κηρυξάτωσαν ἐν ᾿Ιούδᾳ καὶ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ εἰσενέγκαι Κυρίῳ, καθὼς εἶπε Μωυσῆς παῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. 10 καὶ ἔδωκαν πάντες ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ εἰσέφερον καὶ ἐνέβαλλον εἰς τὸ γλωσσόκομον, ἕως οὗ ἐπληρώθη, 11 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσέφερον τὸ γλωσσόκομον πρὸς τοὺς προστάτας τοῦ βασιλέως διὰ χειρὸς τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ ὡς εἶδον ὅτι ἐπλεόνασε τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ γραμματεὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ὁ προστάτης τοῦ ἱερέως τοῦ μεγάλου καὶ ἐξεκένωσαν τὸ γλωσσόκομον καὶ κατέστησαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἐποίουν ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας καὶ συνήγαγον ἀργύριον πολύ. 12 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ᾿Ιωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ποιοῦσι τὰ ἔργα εἰς ἐργασίαν οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐμισθοῦντο λατόμους καὶ τέκτονας ἐπισκευάσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ χαλκεῖς σιδήρου καὶ χαλκοῦ ἐπισκευάσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου. 13 καὶ ἐποίουν οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα, καὶ ἀνέβη μῆκος τῶν ἔργων ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέστησαν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνίσχυσαν. 14 καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν, ἤνεγκαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ ἀργυρίου, καὶ ἐποίησαν σκεύη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, σκεύη λειτουργικὰ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυΐσκας χρυσᾶς καὶ ἀργυρᾶς· καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου διαπαντὸς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ᾿Ιωδαέ. 15 Καὶ ἐγήρασεν ᾿Ιωδαὲ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ὢν ἑκατὸν καὶ τριάκοντα ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ τελευτᾶν αὐτόν· 16 καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων, ὅτι ἐποίησεν ἀγαθωσύνην μετὰ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ. 17 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν ᾿Ιωδαὲ εἰσῆλθον οἱ ἄρχοντες ᾿Ιούδα καὶ προσεκύνησαν τὸν βασιλέα· τότε ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς. 18 καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδούλευον ταῖς ᾿Αστάρταις καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις· καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ. 19 καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς προφήτας ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν· καὶ διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσαν. 20 καὶ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐνέδυσε τὸν ᾿Αζαρίαν τὸν τοῦ ᾿Ιωδαὲ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ ἀνέστη ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· τί παραπορεύεσθε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου; καὶ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεσθε, ὅτι ἐγκατελίπετε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς. 21 καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν δι’ ἐντολῆς ᾿Ιωὰς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν αὐλῇ οἴκου Κυρίου. 22 καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ᾿Ιωὰς τοῦ ἐλέους, οὗ ἐποίησεν ᾿Ιωδαὲ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ὡς ἀπέθνησκεν, εἶπεν· ἴδοι Κύριος καὶ κρινάτω. 23 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν συντέλειαν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπ’ αὐτὸν δύναμις Συρίας καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ κατέφθειραν πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ πάντα τά σκῦλα αὐτῶν ἀπέστειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαμασκοῦ· 24 ὅτι ἐν ὀλίγοις ἀνδράσι παρεγένετο δύναμις Συρίας, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς παρέδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν δύναμιν πολλὴν σφόδρα, ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπον Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν· καὶ μετὰ ᾿Ιωὰς ἐποίησε κρίματα. 25 καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν μαλακίαις μεγάλαις καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵμασιν υἱοῦ ᾿Ιωδαέ τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέθανε· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ καὶ οὐκ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τῶν βασιλέων. 26 καὶ οἱ ἐπιθέμενοι ἐπ’ αὐτὸν Ζαβὲδ ὁ τοῦ Σαμαὰθ ὁ ᾿Αμμανίτης καὶ ᾿Ιωζαβὲδ ὁ τοῦ Σομαρὼθ ὁ Μωαβίτης 27 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ πάντες, καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ πέντε. καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γραφὴν τῶν βασιλέων· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Αμασίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἰσχὺς τοῦ ἀντιστῆναι πρὸς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο τὸ ἐλθὸν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐπὶ σοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν. 13 καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ιούδας ἑστηκὼς ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν. 14 καὶ τῷ ᾿Οζιὴλ τῷ τοῦ Ζαχαρίου τῶν υἱῶν Βαναίου τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ελεϊὴλ τοῦ Ματθανίου τοῦ Λευίτου ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ασάφ, ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ 15 καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατε πᾶς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς· μὴ φοβεῖσθε μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ὄχλου τοῦ πολλοῦ τούτου, ὅτι οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστιν ἡ παράταξις, ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ Θεῷ. 16 αὔριον κατάβητε ἐπ’ αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνουσι κατὰ τὴν ἀνάβασιν ᾿Ασάς, καὶ εὑρήσετε αὐτοὺς ἐπ’ ἄκρου ποταμοῦ τῆς ἐρήμου ᾿Ιεριήλ. 17 οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστι πολεμῆσαι· ταῦτα σύνετε καὶ ἴδετε τὴν σωτηρίαν Κυρίου μεθ’ ὑμῶν, ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε αὔριον ἐξελθεῖν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ Κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν. 18 καὶ κύψας ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἔπεσαν ἔναντι Κυρίου προσκυνῆσαι Κυρίῳ. 19 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Καὰθ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Κορὲ αἰνεῖν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἰς ὕψος. 20 Καὶ ὤρθρισαν πρωΐ καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωέ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἔστη ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ καὶ ἐβόησε καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατέ μου ᾿Ιούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐμπιστευθήσεσθε· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν προφήτῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐοδωθήσεσθε. 21 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἔστησε ψαλτῳδοὺς καὶ αἰνοῦντας ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἔλεγον· ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ. 22 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι αὐτοὺς τῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως ἔδωκε Κύριος πολεμεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμὼν ἐπὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηεὶρ τοὺς ἐξελθόντας ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν, καὶ ἐτροπώθησαν. 23 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ὄρος Σηεὶρ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι καὶ ἐκτρῖψαι αὐτούς· καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σηείρ, ἀνέστησαν εἰς ἀλλήλους τοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι. 24 καὶ ᾿Ιούδας ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν σκοπιὰν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐπέβλεψε καὶ εἶδε τὸ πλῆθος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες νεκροὶ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἦν σωζόμενος. 25 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ σκυλεῦσαι τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀποσκευὴν καὶ σκῦλα καὶ σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐγένοντο ἡμέραι τρεῖς σκυλευόντων αὐτῶν τὰ σκῦλα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἦν. 26 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐπισυνήχθησαν εἰς τὸν αὐλῶνα τῆς εὐλογίας, ἐκεῖ γὰρ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν Κύριον· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Κοιλὰς εὐλογίας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. 27 καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ιούδα εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἡγούμενος αὐτῶν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ, ὅτι εὔφρανεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, 28 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ κινύραις καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου. 29 καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτοὺς ὅτι Κύριος ἐπολέμησε πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ᾿Ισραήλ. 30 καὶ εἰρήνευσεν ἡ βασιλεία ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν. 31 Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν, ὢν ἐτῶν τριακονταπέντε ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ᾿Αζουβὰ θυγάτηρ Σαλί. 32 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ᾿Ασὰ καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· 33 ἀλλὰ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἔτι ὑπῆρχε, καὶ ἔτι ὁ λαὸς οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν. 34 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν λόγοις ᾿Ιοὺ τοῦ ᾿Ανανί, ὃς κατέγραψε βιβλίον βασιλέων ᾿Ισραήλ. 35 Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκοινώνησεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα πρὸς ᾿Οχοζίαν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραήλ (καὶ οὗτος ἠνόμησεν) 36 ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαι καὶ πορευθῆναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τοῦ ποιῆσαι πλοῖα τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς καὶ ἐποίησε πλοῖα ἐν Γασιὼν Γαβέρ. 37 καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ᾿Ελιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Δωδία ἀπὸ Μαρισῆς ἐπὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ λέγων· ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ ᾿Οχοζίᾳ, ἔθραυσε Κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς.

ΚΑΙ ἐπέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 2 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιοὺ ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ανανὶ ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· βασιλεῦ ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, εἰ ἁμαρτωλῷ σὺ βοηθεῖς ἢ μισουμένῳ ὑπὸ Κυρίου φιλιάζεις; διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σὲ ὀργὴ παρὰ Κυρίου· 3 ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ λόγοι ἀγαθοὶ εὑρέθησαν ἐν σοί, ὅτι ἐξῇρας τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ κατηύθυνας τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον. 4 καὶ κατῴκησεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ πάλιν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεὲ ἕως ὄρους ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν. 5 καὶ κατέστησε τοὺς κριτὰς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα ταῖς ὀχυραῖς ἐν πόλει καὶ πόλει 6 καὶ εἶπε τοῖς κριταῖς· ἴδετε τί ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ ὑμεῖς κρίνετε, ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ μεθ’ ὑμῶν λόγοι τῆς κρίσεως· 7 καὶ νῦν γενέσθω φόβος Κυρίου ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς, καὶ φυλάσσετε καὶ ποιήσατε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι μετὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀδικία, οὐδὲ θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον οὐδὲ λαβεῖν δῶρα. 8 καί γε ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κατέστησεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν πατριαρχῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς κρίσιν Κυρίου, καὶ κρίνειν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 9 καὶ ἐνετείλατο πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων· οὕτω ποιήσετε ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν πλήρει καρδίᾳ· 10 πᾶς ἀνὴρ κρίσιν τὴν ἐλθοῦσαν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αἷμα αἵματος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ προστάγματος καὶ ἐντολῆς καὶ δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα καὶ διαστελεῖσθε αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσονται τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὀργὴ ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν· οὕτω ποιήσετε καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεσθε. 11 καὶ ἰδοὺ ῾Αμαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἡγούμενος ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς εἰς πάντα λόγον Κυρίου καὶ Ζαβδίας υἱὸς ᾿Ισμαὴλ ὁ ἡγούμενος εἰς οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα πρὸς πάντα λόγον βασιλέως καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· ἰσχύσατε καὶ ποιήσατε, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ.

ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη τῷ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἔτι πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή, καὶ ἐπεγαμβρεύσατο ἐν οἴκῳ ᾿Αχαάβ. 2 καὶ κατέβη διὰ τέλους ἐτῶν πρὸς ᾿Αχαὰβ εἰς Σαμάρειαν· καὶ ἔθυσεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αχαὰβ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους πολλοὺς καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠγάπα αὐτὸν τοῦ συναναβῆναι μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ραμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος. 3 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλέα ᾿Ιούδα· εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς Ραμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὡς ἐγώ, οὕτω καὶ σύ· ὡς ὁ λαός σου καὶ ὁ λαός μου μετὰ σοῦ εἰς πόλεμον. 4 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ πρὸς βασιλέα ᾿Ισραήλ· ζήτησον δὴ σήμερον τὸν Κύριον. 5 καὶ συνήγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τοὺς προφήτας τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπαν· ἀνάβαινε, καὶ δώσει ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως. 6 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου ἔτι καὶ ἐπιζητήσομεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ; 7 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· ἔτι ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον δι’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐμίσησα αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι προφητεύων περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά, ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ εἰς κακά, οὗτος Μιχαίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιεμβλά. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· μὴ λαλείτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως· 8 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπε· τάχος Μιχαίαν υἱὸν ᾿Ιεμβλά. 9 καὶ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα καθήμενοι ἕκαστος ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνδεδυμένοι στολάς, καθήμενοι ἐν τῷ εὐρυχώρῳ θύρας πύλης Σαμαρείας, καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐναντίον αὐτῶν. 10 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως ἂν συντελεσθῇ. 11 καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτω λέγοντες· ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ καὶ εὐοδωθήσῃ, καὶ δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως. 12 καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς τοῦ καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων· ἰδοὺ ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ ἀγαθὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστωσαν δὴ οἱ λόγοι σου ὡς ἑνὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ λαλήσεις ἀγαθά. 13 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ Θεὸς πρός με, αὐτὸ λαλήσω. 14 καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τόν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· Μιχαία, εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβαινε καὶ εὐοδώσεις, καὶ δοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν. 15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ποσάκις ὁρκίζω σε ἵνα μὴ λαλήσῃς πρός με πλὴν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου; 16 καὶ εἶπεν· εἶδον τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ διεσπαρμένους ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς πρόβατα, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡγούμενον οὗτοι, ἀναστρεφέτωσαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ. 17 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· οὐκ εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι οὐ προφητεύει περὶ ἐμοῦ ἀγαθά, ἀλλ’ ἢ κακά; 18 καὶ εἶπεν· οὐχ οὕτως· ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· εἶδον τὸν Κύριον καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα δύναμις τοῦ οὐρανοῦ παρειστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν αὐτοῦ. 19 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ραμὼθ Γαλαάδ; καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως, καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως. 20 καὶ ἐξῆλθε τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἐν τίνι; 21 καὶ εἶπεν· ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπατήσεις καὶ δυνήσῃ, ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτω. 22 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκε Κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων, καὶ Κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά. 23 καὶ ἤγγισε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ποίᾳ τῇ ὁδῷ παρῆλθε πνεῦμα Κυρίου παρ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρός σε; 24 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἐν ᾗ εἰσελεύσῃ ταμιεῖον ἐκ ταμιείου τοῦ κατακρυβῆναι. 25 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ· λάβετε τὸν Μιχαίαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε πρὸς ᾿Εμὴρ ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰς ἄρχοντα υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως 26 καὶ ἐρεῖτε· οὕτως εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀπόθεσθε τοῦτον εἰς οἶκον φυλακῆς, καὶ ἐσθιέτω ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ. 27 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν ἐμοί· ἀκούσατε λαοὶ πάντες. 28 Καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαάδ. 29 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· κατακάλυψόν με καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου· καὶ συνεκαλύψατο βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον. 30 καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ λέγων· μὴ πολεμεῖτε τὸν μικρὸν καὶ τὸν μέγαν, ἀλλ’ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ μόνον. 31 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν· βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ ἐστι, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν τοῦ πολεμεῖν· καὶ ἐβόησεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ Κύριος ἔσωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ. 32 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἦν βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ. 33 καὶ ἀνὴρ ἔτεινε τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος. καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἡνιόχῳ· ἐπίστρεφε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, ὅτι ἐπόνεσα. 34 καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξεναντίας Συρίας ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου.

ΚΑΙ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατίσχυσεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ. 2 καὶ ἔδωκε δύναμιν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα ταῖς ὀχυραῖς καὶ κατέστησεν ἡγουμένους ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν ᾿Εφραίμ, ἃς προκατελάβετο ᾿Ασὰ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ. 3 καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος μετὰ ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ταῖς πρώταις καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησε τὰ εἴδωλα, 4 ἀλλὰ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξεζήτησε καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ οὐχ ὡς τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ. 5 καὶ κατεύθυνε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε πᾶς ᾿Ιούδα δῶρα τῷ ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή. 6 καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔτι εξῇρε τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ᾿Ιούδα. 7 καὶ ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἡγουμένους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν δυνατῶν, τὸν ᾿Αβδίαν καὶ Ζαχαρίαν καὶ Ναθαναὴλ καὶ Μιχαίαν, τοῦ διδάσκειν ἐν πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα· 8 καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται Σαμαίας καὶ Ναθανίας καὶ Ζαβδίας καὶ ᾿Ασιὴλ καὶ Σεμιραμὼθ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν καὶ ᾿Αδωνίας καὶ Τωβίας, οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ᾿Ελισαμὰ καὶ ᾿Ιωρὰμ οἱ ἱερεῖς, 9 καὶ ἐδίδασκον ἐν ᾿Ιούδᾳ, καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν βίβλος νόμου Κυρίου, καὶ διῆλθον ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐδίδασκον τὸν λαόν. 10 καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς κύκλῳ ᾿Ιούδα, καὶ οὐκ ἐπολέμουν πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· 11 καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἔφερον τῷ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ δῶρα καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ δόματα, καὶ οἱ ῎Αραβες ἔφερον αὐτῷ κριοὺς προβάτων ἑπτακισχιλίους ἑπτακοσίους. 12 καὶ ἦν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ πορευόμενος μείζων ἕως εἰς ὕψος καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ οἰκήσεις καὶ πόλεις ὀχυράς. 13 καὶ ἔργα πολλὰ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ δυνατοὶ ἰσχύοντες ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 14 καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ τῷ ᾿Ιούδᾳ χιλίαρχοι, ῎Εδνας ὁ ἄρχων καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες· 15 καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωανὰν ὁ ἡγούμενος καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες· 16 καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν ᾿Αμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ζαρί, ὁ προθυμούμενος τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως. 17 καὶ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν δυνατὸς δυνάμεως ᾿Ελιαδὰ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τοξόται καὶ πελτασταὶ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες. 18 καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωζαβὰδ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ πολέμου. 19 οὗτοι οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐκτὸς ὧν ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς ὀχυραῖς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ.

ΚΑΙ ᾿Αζαρίας υἱὸς ᾿Ωδήδ, ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου, 2 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν ᾿Ασὰ καὶ παντὶ ᾿Ιούδᾳ καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατέ μου, ᾿Ασὰ καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν. Κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ὑμᾶς μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτόν, εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπητε αὐτόν, ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς. 3 καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν οὐ θεῷ ἀληθινῷ καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνύοντος καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ· 4 καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς. 5 καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ καὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ, ὅτι ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὰς χώρας. 6 καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει. 7 καὶ ὑμεῖς ἰσχύσατε, καὶ μὴ ἐκλυέσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἔστι μισθὸς τῇ ἐργασίᾳ ὑμῶν. 8 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν ᾿Αδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ κατίσχυσε καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων, ὧν κατέσχεν ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἐν ὄρει ᾿Εφραίμ, καὶ ἐνεκαίνισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου, ὃ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου. 9 καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ τοὺς προσηλύτους τοὺς παροικοῦντας μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Συμεών, ὅτι προσετέθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν πολλοὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτούς, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. 10 καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τρίτῳ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας ᾿Ασά. 11 καὶ ἔθυσε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων, ὧν ἤνεγκαν, μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους καὶ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια. 12 καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν διαθήκῃ ζητῆσαι Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτῶν· 13 καὶ πᾶς, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἐκζητήσῃ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἀποθανεῖται ἀπὸ νεωτέρου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός. 14 καὶ ὤμοσαν ἐν Κυρίῳ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξι καὶ ἐν κερατίναις. 15 καὶ ηὐφράνθησαν πᾶς ᾿Ιούδα περὶ τοῦ ὅρκου, ὅτι ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὤμοσαν καὶ ἐν πάσῃ θελήσει ἐζήτησαν αὐτόν, καὶ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς καὶ κατέπαυσε Κύριος αὐτοῖς κυκλόθεν. 16 καὶ τὴν Μααχὰ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ μετέστησε τοῦ μὴ εἶναι τῇ ᾿Αστάρτῃ λειτουργοῦσαν καὶ κατέκοψε τὸ εἴδωλον καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐν χειμάρρῳ Κέδρων. 17 πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν, ἔτι ὑπῆρχεν ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ· ἀλλ’ ἡ καρδία ᾿Ασὰ ἐγένετο πλήρης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ. 18 καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη. 19 καὶ πόλεμος οὐκ ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ πέμπτου καὶ τριακοστοῦ ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας ᾿Ασά.
