Ahaz Reigns in Judah^(A)

28 Ahaz ^(B)was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David had done. ² For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made ^(C)molded images for ^(D)the Baals. ³ He burned incense in ^(E)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned ^(F)his children in the ^(G)fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had ^(H)cast out before the children of Israel. ⁴ And he sacrificed and burned incense on the ^[a]high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

³ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still ^(A)young, he began to ^(B)seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began ^(C)to purge Judah and Jerusalem ^(D)of the ^[a]high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

³ Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he ^(A)did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

³ And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

³⁴ And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did ^(A)according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

³ And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done,

³ And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like his father David; he did everything ^(A)as his father Joash had done.
