¹Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν Ἄχαζ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

²Καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ γὰρ γλυπτὰ ἐποίησε, καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν

³ἐν γὲ Βενεννόμ· καὶ διῆγε τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ διὰ πυρὸς κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

⁴Καὶ ἐθυμία ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων, καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.

⁵Καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν, καὶ ἤγαγεν εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην.

⁶Καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Φακεὲ ὁ τοῦ Ῥομελία βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν ἰσχύϊ, ἐν τῷ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.

⁷Καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Ζεχρὶ ὁ δυνατὸς τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ τὸν Μαασίαν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὸν Ἐζρικὰν ἡγούμενον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν Ἐλκανὰ τὸν διάδοχον τοῦ βασιλέως.

⁸Καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τριακοσίας χιλιάδας, γυναῖκας καὶ υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας· καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ σκῦλα εἰς Σαμάρειαν.

⁹Καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου, Ὠδὴδ ὄνομα αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ Κυρίου Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀργῇ, καὶ ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔφθακε.

¹⁰Καὶ νῦν υἱοὺς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὑμεῖς λέγετε κατακτήσασθαι εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· οὐκ ἰδού εἰμι μεθʼ ὑμῶν μαρτυρῆσαι Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν;

¹¹Καὶ νῦν ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀποστρέψατε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἣν ᾐχμαλωτεύσατε τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμῖν.

¹²Καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφραὶμ, Οὐδείας ὁ τοῦ Ἰωανοῦ, καὶ Βαραχίας ὁ τοῦ Μοσολαμὼθ, καὶ Ἐζεκίας ὁ τοῦ Σελλὴμ, καὶ Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ἐλδαῒ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τοῦ πολέμου,

¹³καὶ 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 ἡμῶν, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν, καὶ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

¹⁴Καὶ ἀφῆκαν οἱ πολεμισταὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πάσης τῆς ἐκκλησίας.

¹⁵Καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες οἳ ἐπεκλήθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας, καὶ πάντας τοὺς γυμνοὺς περιέβαλον ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων, καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑπέδησαν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔδωκαν φαγεῖν καὶ ἀλείψασθαι, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο καὶ ἐν ὑποζυγίοις παντὸς ἀσθενοῦντος, καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἱεριχὼ πόλιν φοινίκων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.

¹⁶Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχας πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσοὺρ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ

¹⁷καὶ ἐν τούτῳ, ὅτι οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι ἐπέθεντο, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν Ἰούδα, καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν.

¹⁸Καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς πεδινῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ Λιβὸς τοῦ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Βαιθσαμὺς, καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων, καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ βασιλεῖ τὴν Ἀϊλὼν, καὶ τὴν Γαληρὼ, καὶ τὴν Σωχὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν Θαμνὰ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν Γαμζὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς· καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.

¹⁹Ὅτι ἐταπείνωσε Κύριος τὸν Ἰούδαν διὰ Ἄχαζ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀποστάσει ἀπὸ Κυρίου.

²⁰Καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Θαλγαφελλασὰρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ ἔθλιψεν αὐτόν.

²¹Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἄχας τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσούρ· καὶ οὐκ εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτῷ ἦν,

²²ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ θλιβῆναι αὐτόν· καὶ προσέθηκε τοῦ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ,

²³ἐκζητήσω τοὺς θεοὺς Δαμασκοῦ τοὺς τύπτοντάς με· καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι θεοὶ βασιλέως Συρίας αὐτοὶ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτοὺς, αὐτοῖς τοίνυν θύσω, καὶ ἀντιλήψονταί μου· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς σκῶλον καὶ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.

²⁴Καὶ ἀπέστησεν Ἄχαζ τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ κατέκοψεν αὐτὰ, καὶ ἔκλεισε τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἐν πάσῃ γωνίᾳ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

²⁵καὶ ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ θυμιᾷν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ παρώργισαν Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.

²⁶Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ αἱ πρῶται καὶ ἔσχαται, ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.

²⁷Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἄχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς τάφους τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἐζεκίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
