And the LORD testified to Israel and to Judah, by all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, "Turn from your wicked ways and keep my commandments and mine ordinances according to all the laws which I commanded your fathers, and as I sent to you by my servants the prophets."

Wherefore the LORD was exceeding wroth with Israel and put them out of his sight, that there was left but the tribe of Judah only.

And thereto Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the ordinances of Israel which they had made.

In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, reigned Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah.

He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him came none like him among all the kings of Judah, neither among them that went before him.

Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel: Behold, I will bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that the ears of all that hear it shall tingle at it.

And thereto Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding abundantly, in so much that he replenished Jerusalem in all corners, beside his sin wherewith he made Judah sin and to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

thus sayeth the LORD: behold I will bring evil upon this place and on the dwellers therein - even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read -

But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say: thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel, as touching the words which thou heardest.

And then the king sent and gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabiters of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the Prophets and all the people both small and great. And he read in the ears of them all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the LORD.

And he put down the Chemarims which the kings of Judah had set to burn offerings in the hill altars in the cities of Judah round about Jerusalem and also them that burnt sacrifices unto Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the hill altars where the priests did burn sacrifice, even from Geba to Beersheba. And he brake down the hill altars of the Gates, that were in the entering of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on the left hand of the gate of the city.

And the altars that were on the top of the parlour of Ahaz which the king of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, the king brake down, and ran thence and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

Then the king said, "What meaneth yonder grave stone that I see?" And the men of the city told him, "It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah and openly denounced the selfsame things that thou hast done to the altar of Bethel."

For there was no passover held like that from the days of the judges that judged Israel, and throughout all the days of the kings of Israel and of Judah.

And thereto workers with spirits, soothsayers, Images of witchcraft, idols and all other abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put out of the way to make good the words of the law, which were written in the book that Helkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

Notwithstanding, the LORD turned not from his fierce and great wrath wherewith he was angry against Judah upon all the provocations that Manasseh provoked him.

But the LORD said, "I will put Judah, too, out of my sight, as I have done Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I have said, 'My name shall be there.'"

The rest of the deeds of Josiah and all he did are written in the book of the Stories of the Kings of Judah.

And the LORD sent upon him men of war out of Chaldea, out of Syria, out of the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon: and sent them into Judah to destroy it, according to the saying of the LORD which he spake by his servants the Prophets.

The rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah came out to the king of Babylon, with his mother, his servants, his lords and his chamberlains. And the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign.

For through the wrath of the LORD it so chanced to Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out of his sight. And the said Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

And the king of Babylon smote them and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. And so Judah was carried away out of all their land.

And over the people that remained in the land of Judah, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left, he set Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan.

Notwithstanding yet the thirty seventh year after Jehoiachin king of Judah was carried away, the twenty seventh day of the twelfth month, did Evilmerodach king of Babylon lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of the prison house,

These be the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun;

The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born him of the daughter of Shua the Cananitess. But Er the eldest the son of Judah was evil in the sight of the LORD, and therefore he slew him.

And Tamar his daughter-in-law bare him Perez and Zerah: so that all the sons of Judah were five.

And Ram begat Amminadab: and Amminadab begat Nahshon, a lord among the children of Judah.

The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur and Shobal.

The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the kindreds of the households of them that wrought bysse in the house of Ashbea.

Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. But his brethren had not many children, neither were the kindreds of them like to the children of Judah in multitude.

And these now afore written by name went in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote the tents of them and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and there dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for their sheep.

For unto Judah which was mighty among his brethren, was given the principality before him. But the birthright was given Joseph.

And they were all reckoned by kindreds in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

when the LORD carried away Juda and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, went with them.

They gave unto them Hebron in the land of Judah with the suburbs round about it.

and that by Lot, out of the tribe of children of Judah out of the tribe of Simeon and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin: even the said cities that are rehearsed by name.

And all Israel were numbered by kindreds: and see, they be written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah were carried away to Babylon for their offenses.

But in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, of the children of Benjamin and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh.

Uthai the son of Ammihud the son of Omri the son of Imri of the son of Bani of the children of Perez, the son of Judah.

And they put to flight them of the valley both of the east side and also of the west. And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold of David.

The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred trimmed to war.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, and so to Kiriathjearim that is in Judah, to fetch thence the Ark of the God and LORD that sitteth on the Cherubs, where his name is called on.

and gave the number of the count of the people unto David. And all Israel were in number a thousand, thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

In Judah, Elihu of the brethren of David. In Issachar, Omri the son of Michael.

Moreover, the LORD God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel forever, for he chose Judah to be a captain: and in the house of Judah the house of my father, and of the sons of my father he had a lust to me, to make me king over all Israel.

send me now therefore a cunning man to work in gold, silver, brass, iron, scarlet, crimson and Jacinth colour, and that can skill to grave, to be with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, which David my father did prepare.

And the king made of the Algum wood stairs for the house of the LORD and in the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers. And there was no such wood seen before in the land of Judah.

"Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel that are in Judah, and to Benjamin, and say,

And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built strong cities in Judah:

Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron: Which were the strong cities of Judah and Benjamin.

And he ordained in all cities shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And so Judah and Benjamin were under him.

Insomuch that the Levites left their suburbs and possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them out from ministering unto the LORD.

And so they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon mighty three years long - for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

And he played wisely and scattered of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin in every strong city. And he gave them abundance of victuals, and asked many wives.

And they took the strong cities that were in Judah and came to Jerusalem.

Then came Shemaiah the Prophet to Rehoboam and to the lords of Judah that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus sayeth the LORD, 'Ye have left me, and therefore will I leave you also in the hands of Shishak.'"

And so because he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, and destroyed not all together. And thereto there were many good things yet in Judah.

The eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah,

But for all that, Jeroboam sent men privily above to come behind upon them: and so they were before Judah, and the layers in wait were behind them.

And when Judah turned and saw the battle behind and before, they cried unto the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets

and the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into the hands of Judah.
