Bible Reading for August 01

2 Kings 20
[1] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son
of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in
order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then he turned his face to the
wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, [3] I beseech thee, O LORD, remember
now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have
done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
[4] And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that
the word of the LORD came to him, saying, [5] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the
captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have
heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third
day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
[6] And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and
this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city
for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. [7] And Isaiah said, Take a
lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
[8] And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will
heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? [9]
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do
the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forth ten degrees, or go
back ten degrees?
[10] And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten
degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. [11] And Isaiah
the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees
backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. [12] At that time
Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a
present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
[13] And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his
precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious
ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his
treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that
Hezekiah shewed them not.
[14] Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What
said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They
are come from a far country, even from Babylon. [15] And he said, What have
they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in
mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not
shewed them. [16] And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
[17] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy
fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon:
nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. [18] And of thy sons that shall issue
from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be
eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
[19] Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou
hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
[20] And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a
pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [21] And Hezekiah slept with
his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 21
[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and
five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah. [2] And he did
that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the
heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had
destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king
of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. [4] And he
built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem
will I put my name.
[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the
house of the LORD.
[6] And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used
enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much
wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. [7] And he set a
graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said
to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have
chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
[8] Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which
I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I
have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses
commanded them.
[9] But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did
the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. [10] And the
LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying, [11] Because Manasseh king of
Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the
Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his
idols: [12] Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing
such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears
shall tingle.
[13] And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of
the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it,
and turning it upside down. [14] And I will forsake the remnant of mine
inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall
become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
[15] Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked
me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto
this day.
[16] Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled
Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to
sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. [17] Now the rest
of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[18] And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his
own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. [19]
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two
years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of
Haruz of Jotbah.
[20] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father
Manasseh did.
[21] And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the
idols that his father served, and worshipped them: [22] And he forsook the LORD
God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
[23] And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his
own house.
[24] And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king
Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. [25]
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [26] And he was buried in his
sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
