Parallel
2 Chronicles 28
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Εἴκοσι ἐτῶν Ἀχὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ δέκα ἔξ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ὡς Δαυεὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ· καὶ γὰρ γλυπτὰ ἐποίησεν ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν·
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
ἔθυεν ἐν Γαιβενθὸμ καὶ διῆγεν τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ διὰ πυρὸς καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξωλέθρευσεν Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
Moreover, Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of Ben-hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire (note: Literally passed his sons through the fire), according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
καὶ ἐθυμία ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ χειρὸς βασιλέων Συρίας, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἠχμαλώτευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλήν· καὶ γὰρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἑαυτῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην.
So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Φάκεε ὁ τοῦ Ῥομελὰ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν 'ἰσχύι, ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς καταλιπεῖν τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
For in one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 valiant men in Judah. This happened because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν Ἐζεκρεὶ ὁ δυνατὸς τοῦ Ἐφράιμ τὸν Μαασαίαν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸν Ἐγδρεικὰν ἡγούμενον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Εἰλκανὰ τὸν διάδοχον τοῦ βασιλέως.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the king.
καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τριακοσίας χιλιάδας, γυναῖκας υἱοὺς θυγατέρας, καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ σκῦλα εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
Then the Israelites took 200,000 captives from their kinsmen—women, sons, and daughters. They also carried off a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου, Ὠδὴδ ὄνομα· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ Κυρίου θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰουδά, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀργῇ· ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔφθακεν.
But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
καὶ νῦν υἱοὺς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ λέγετε κατακτήσεσθαι εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· οὐκ ἰδοὺ ὑμῖν μεθʼ ὑμῶν μαρτυρῆσαι Κυρίῳ θεῷ ἡμῶν;
And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?
καὶ νῦν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀποστρέψατε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἣν ἠχμαλωτεύσατε τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμῖν.
Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives you took from your kinsmen, for the fierce anger of the LORD is upon you.”
καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφράιμ, Οὐδειὰ ὁ τοῦ Ἰωάνου καὶ Ζαχαρίας ὁ τοῦ Μοσολαμὼθ καὶ Ἐζεκίας ὁ τοῦ Σελλὴμ καὶ Ἀμασείας ὁ τοῦ Κοάδ, ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τοῦ πολέμου·
Then some of the leaders of the Ephraimites—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth (note: Meshillemoth is a variant of Meshillemith; see 1 Chronicles 9:12.), Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—stood in opposition to those arriving from the war.
καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς Οὐ μὴ εἰσαγάγητε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἁμαρτάνειν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ὑμεῖς λέγετε, προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἄγνοιαν, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν καὶ ἀργὴ Κυρίου θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
“You must not bring the captives here,” they said, “for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us from the LORD and to add to our sins and our guilt. For our guilt is great, and fierce anger is upon Israel.”
καὶ ἀφῆκαν οἱ πολεμισταὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πάσης τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες οἵ ἐπεκλήθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι καὶ ἀντελάβοντο τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας, καὶ πάντας τοὺς γυμνοὺς περιέβαλον ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων, καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑπέδησαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἔδωκαν καὶ φαγεῖν καὶ ἀλείψασθαι, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο καὶ ἐν ὑποζυγίοις παντὸς ἀσθενοῦντος, καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἰερειχὼ πόλιν φοινίκων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀχὰς πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσοὺρ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ
At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king (note: LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate (see also 2 Kings 16:7); Hebrew kings) of Assyria.
καὶ ἐν τούτῳ, ὅτι Ἰδουμαῖοι ἐπέθεντο καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν Ἰούδη καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν.
The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.
καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ ἀπὸ λιβὸς τοῦ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Βαιθσάμυς. τὴν Ἀἰλὼ καὶ τὴν Γαληρὼ καὶ τὴν Σαωχὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Γαλεζὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς· καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ
The Philistines had also raided the cities of the foothills (note: Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judea) and the Negev of Judah, capturing and occupying Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their villages.
ὅτι ἐταπεί νωσεν Κύριος τὸν Ἰούδαν δι Ἀχὰζ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀποστάσει ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israel (note: That is, Judah; in 2 Chronicles, Judah is occasionally called Israel, as representative of the true Israel.) had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.
καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν αλγαφελλάδαρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσούρ· καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτόν.
Then Tiglath-pileser (note: Hebrew Tilgath-pilneser, a variant spelling of Tiglath-pileser) king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀχὰς τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσούρ· καὶ οὐκ εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτῶν,
Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
ἀλλ ἡ τῷ θλιβῆναι αὐτόν. καὶ προσέθηκεν τοῦ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς
In the time of his distress, King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
Ἐκζητήσω τοὺς θεοὺς Δαμασκοῦ τοὺς τύπτοντάς με· καὶ εἶπεν Fεοὶ βασιλέως Συρίας αὐτοὶ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτούς, αὐτοῖς τοίνυν θύσω καὶ ἀντιλήμψονπαί μου· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς σκῶλον καὶ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.
He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, who had defeated him, and he said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But these gods were the downfall of Ahaz and of all Israel.
καὶ ἀπέστησεν Ἀχὰζ τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ κατέκοψεν αὐτά, καὶ ἔκλεισεν τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἐν πάσῃ γωνίᾳ,
Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.
καὶ ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ θυμιῶν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις· καὶ παρώργισαν Κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
In every city of Judah he built high places to offer incense to other gods, and so he provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ αἱ πρῶται καὶ αἱ ἔσχαται, ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς τάφους τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἐζεκίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
