He removed H5493 the high H1116 places, and broke H7665 the images, H4676 and cut H3772 down the groves, H842 and broke H3807 in pieces the brazen H5178 serpent H5175 that Moses H4872 had made: H6213 for to those H1992 days H3117 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did burn H6999 incense H6999 to it: and he called H7121 it Nehushtan. H5180

But if H3588 you say H559 to me, We trust H982 in the LORD H3068 our God: H430 is not that he, whose H834 H853 high H1116 places and whose H853 altars H4196 Hezekiah H2396 has taken H5493 away, H5493 and has said H559 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem, H3389 You shall worship H7812 before H6440 this H2088 altar H4196 in Jerusalem? H3389

Has not the same H1931 Hezekiah H2396 taken H5493 away H5493 his high H1116 places and his altars, H4196 and commanded H559 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem, H3389 saying, H559 You shall worship H7812 before H6440 one H259 altar, H4196 and burn H6999 incense H6999 on it?

For in the eighth H8083 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 while he was yet H5750 young, H5288 he began H2490 to seek H1875 after the God H430 of David H1732 his father: H1 and in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 he began H2490 to purge H2891 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 from the high H1116 places, and the groves, H842 and the carved H6456 images, and the molten H4541 images.

And Jehu H3058 gathered H6908 all H3605 the people H5971 together, and said H559 to them, Ahab H256 served H5647 Baal H1168 a little; H4592 but Jehu H3058 shall serve H5647 him much. H7235

And Jehu H3058 said, H559 Proclaim H6942 a solemn H6116 assembly H6116 for Baal. H1168 And they proclaimed H7121 it.

And it came H1961 to pass, as if it had been a light H7043 thing for him to walk H3212 in the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 that he took H3947 to wife H802 Jezebel H348 the daughter H1323 of Ethbaal H856 king H4428 of the Zidonians, H6722 and went H3212 and served H5647 Baal, H1168 and worshipped H7812 him.

And Ahab H256 made H6213 a grove; H842 and Ahab H256 did H6213 more H3254 to provoke the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 to anger H3707 than all H3605 the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 that were before H6440 him.

And Elijah H452 came H5066 to all H3605 the people, H5971 and said, H559 How H5704 long H5704 halt H6452 you between H5921 two H8147 opinions? H5587 if H518 the LORD H3068 be God, H430 follow H3212 H310 him: but if H518 Baal, H1168 then follow H3212 H310 him. And the people H5971 answered H6030 him not a word. H1697

And they took H3947 the bullock H6499 which was given H5414 them, and they dressed H6213 it, and called H7121 on the name H8034 of Baal H1168 from morning H1242 even until H5704 noon, H6672 saying, H559 O Baal, H1168 hear H6030 us. But there was no H369 voice, H6963 nor H369 any that answered. H6030 And they leaped H6452 on the altar H4196 which H834 was made. H6213

And he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the kings H4428 of Israel, H3478 as did H6213 the house H1004 of Ahab: H256 for the daughter H1323 of Ahab H256 was his wife: H802 and he did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD. H3068

And he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the house H1004 of Ahab, H256 and did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 as did the house H1004 of Ahab: H256 for he was the son H2860 in law H2859 of the house H1004 of Ahab. H256

For the statutes H2708 of Omri H6018 are kept, H8104 and all H3605 the works H4639 of the house H1004 of Ahab, H256 and you walk H3212 in their counsels; H4156 that I should make H5414 you a desolation, H8047 and the inhabitants H3427 thereof an hissing: H8322 therefore you shall bear H5375 the reproach H2781 of my people. H5971

And they left H5800 all H3605 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 their God, H430 and made H6213 them molten H4541 images, even two H8147 calves, H5695 and made H6213 a grove, H842 and worshipped H7812 all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 and served H5647 Baal. H1168

And the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest, H3548 and the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order, and the keepers H8104 of the door, H5592 to bring H3318 forth H3318 out of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were made for Baal, H1168 and for the grove, H842 and for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven: H8064 and he burned H8313 them without H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of Kidron, H6939 and carried H5375 the ashes H6083 of them to Bethel. H1008

And lest H6435 you lift H5375 up your eyes H5869 to heaven, H8064 and when you see H7200 the sun, H8121 and the moon, H3394 and the stars, H3556 even all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 should be driven H5080 to worship H7812 them, and serve H5647 them, which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has divided H2505 to all H3605 nations H5971 under H8478 the whole H3605 heaven. H8064

And has gone H3212 and served H5647 other H312 gods, H430 and worshipped H7812 them, either the sun, H8121 or H176 moon, H3394 or H176 any H3605 of the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 which H834 I have not commanded; H6680

For he built H1129 again H7725 the high H1116 places which H834 Hezekiah H2396 his father had broken H5422 down, H5422 and he reared H6965 up altars H4196 for Baalim, H1168 and made H6213 groves, H842 and worshipped H7812 all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 and served H5647 them.

And he built H1129 altars H4196 for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 in the two H8147 courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

If H518 I beheld H7200 the sun H216 when H3588 it shined, H1984 or the moon H3394 walking H1980 in brightness; H3368
