14:028:022 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more
           against the lord:  this is that king Ahaz.

14:028:023 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: 
           and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them,
           therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.  But
           they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

14:028:024 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God,
           and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up
           the doors of the house of the lord, and he made him altars in
           every corner of Jerusalem.

14:028:025 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn
           incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the lord God of
           his fathers.

14:028:026 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last,
           behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and
           Israel.

14:028:027 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
           city, even in Jerusalem:  but they brought him not into the
           sepulchres of the kings of Israel:  and Hezekiah his son
           reigned in his stead.

14:029:001 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old,
           and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem.  And his
           mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

14:029:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the lord,
           according to all that David his father had done.

14:029:003 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened
           the doors of the house of the lord, and repaired them.

14:029:004 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered
           them together into the east street,

14:029:005 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now
           yourselves, and sanctify the house of the lord God of your
           fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

14:029:006 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil
           in the eyes of the lord our God, and have forsaken him, and
           have turned away their faces from the habitation of the lord,
           and turned their backs.

14:029:007 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the
           lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings
           in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

14:029:008 Wherefore the wrath of the lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem,
           and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to
           hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
