9 Nevertheless the kahanay (priests) of the bamah (high) places didn't ilah (go up / offer) up to the mazabach (altar) of Yahawah () in Yarawashalam (Jerusalem), but they akal (eat) unleavened matzah (bread) thawak (midst) their ach (brother/kinsman).
10 He tamaa (defiled) Thapath (Topheth), which is in the gayaa (valley) of the ban (son) of Hanam (Hinnom), that no ayash (man / husband) might make his ban (son) or his banath (daughter) to ibar (pass over/through) through the ash (fire) to Malak (king).

13 The the malak (king) tamaa (defiled) the bamah (high) places that were panayam (face) Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), which were on the right yamayan (right hand) of the har (mountain) of mashachayath (corruption), which Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) the malak (king) of Yashar-Al (Israel) had banah (build) for Ishatharath (Ashtoreth) the shaqawatz (abomination) of the Tzayadanay (Sidonians), and for Kamawash (Chemosh) the shaqawatz (abomination) of Mawaab (Moab), and for Malakam (Milcom) the thawaibah (abomination) of the banay (my son) of Imawan (Ammon).
14 He shabar (broke) in pieces the matzabawath (pillars), and karath (cut) down the Asharah (Asherim), and malaa (filled) their maqawam (place) with the itzamawath (bones) of adam (men).
15 Moreover the mazabach (altar) that was at Bayath-Al (Bethel), and the bamah (high) place which Yarabaim (Jeroboam) the ban (son) of Nabat (Nebat), who made Yashar-Al (Israel) to chataa (sin), ishah (make) made, even that mazabach (altar) and the bamah (high) place he nathatz (broke) down; and he sharap (burned) the bamah (high) place and daqaq (beat) it to ipar (dust), and sharap (burned) the Asharah (Asherah).
16 As Yaashayah (Josiah) panah (turn) himself, he raah (see) the tombs that were there in the har (mountain); and he shalach (send), and laqach (take / seize) the itzamawath (bones) out of the tombs, and sharap (burned) them on the mazabach (altar), and tamaa (defiled) it, according to the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () which the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam () qaraa (called), who qaraa (called) these things.
17 Then he amar (spoke), “What monument is that which I raah (see)?” The anashay (men) of the iyar (city) amar (spoke) him, “It is the tomb of the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam (), who bawaa (come) from Yahawadah (Judah), and qaraa (called) these things that you ishah (make) done against the mazabach (altar) of Bayath-Al (Bethel).”
18 He amar (said), “yanach (let) him be! Let no ayash (man / husband) nawai (move) his itzamawath (bones).” So they let his itzamawath (bones) malat (alone), with the itzamawath (bones) of the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) who bawaa (bring) out of Shamarawan (Samaria).
19 All the bathay (houses) also of the bamah (high) places that were in the iray (cities) of Shamarawan (Samaria), which the malakay (kings) of Yashar-Al (Israel) ishah (make) made to provoke Yahawah () to anger, Yaashayah (Josiah) sawar (took) away, and ishah (make) to them according to all the maishayam (acts) that he ishah (make) done in Bayath-Al (Bethel).
20 He zabach (killed) all the kahanay (priests) of the bamah (high) places that were there, on the mazabachawath (altars), and sharap (burned) adam (men's) itzamawath (bones) on them; and he shawab (turn) to Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem).
21 The malak (king) tzawah (commanded) all the im (nation / people), amar (spoke), “ishah (make) the pasach (passover) to Yahawah () your Alahayam (), as it is kathab (write) in this sapar (book / scribed document) of the barayath (covenant).”
22 Ishah (make) there was not kept such a pasach (passover) from the yamay (days) of the shapatayam (judges) who shapat (judge / judgement) Yashar-Al (Israel), nor in all the yamay (days) of the malakay (kings) of Yashar-Al (Israel), nor of the malakay (kings) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah);
23 But in the eighteenth shanah (year) of malak (king) Yaashayah (Josiah) was this pasach (passover) ishah (make) to Yahawah () in Yarawashalam (Jerusalem).
24 Moreover Yaashayah (Josiah) removed those who had familiar abawath (spirits), and the yadainayam (wizards), and the tharapayam (teraphim), and the tharapayam (idols), and all the galalayam (abominations) that were raah (see) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Yahawadah (Judah) and in Yarawashalam (Jerusalem), that he might qawam (rise up) the dabaray (words) of the thawarah (instruction) which were kathab (write) in the sapar (book / scribed document) that Chalaqayah (Hilkiah) the kahan (priest) matzaa (found) in the bayath (house) of Yahawah ().
25 Like him was there no malak (king) panayam (face) him, who shawab (turn back / repent) to Yahawah () with all his labab (heart), and with all his napash (soul), and with all his maad (might), according to all the thawarah (instruction) of Mashah (Moses); neither achar (other) him qawam (rise up) there any like him.
26 Notwithstanding, Yahawah () didn't shawab (turn back / repent) from the charawan (fierceness) of his gadawal (very great/important/mighty) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), with which his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger) against Yahawadah (Judah), because of all the kais (provocation) with which Manashah (Manasseh) kais (had) provoked him.
27 Yahawah () amar (spoke), “I will sawar (remove) Yahawadah (Judah) also out of my panayam (face), as I have sawar (removed) Yashar-Al (Israel), and I will maas (cast) off this iyar (city) which I have bachar (chosen), even Yarawashalam (Jerusalem), and the bayath (house) of which I amar (spoke), ‘My sham (name) shall be there.’”
28 Now the yathar (rest) of the dabaray (acts) of Yaashayah (Josiah), and all that he ishah (make), aren't they kathab (write) in the sapar (book / scribed document) of the dabaray (chronicles) of the malakay (kings) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah)?
29 In his yawam (day) Paraihanakah (Pharaoh Necoh) malak (king) of Matzarayam (Egypt) ilah (go up / offer) up against the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) to the nahar (river) Parath (Euphrates): and malak (king) Yaashayah (Josiah) yalak (went) qaraah (against) him; and Paraih (Pharaoh) Necoh mawath (death) him at Magadawan (Megiddo), when he raah (see) seen him.
30 His ibad (servant) rakab (carried) him in a chariot mawath (death) from Magadawan (Megiddo), and bawaa (bring) him to Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), and qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) him in his own tomb. The im (nation / people) of the aratz (Earth/land) laqach (take / seize) Yahawaachaz (Jehoahaz) the ban (son) of Yaashayah (Josiah), and mashach (anointed) him, and made him malak (king) in his ab (father) place.
31 Yahawaachaz (Jehoahaz) was isharayam (twenty) - shalawash (three) shanah (years) ban (son) when he began to malak (king); and he malak (king) shalawash (three) chadashayam (months) in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem): and his am (mother) sham (name) was Chamawatal (Hamutal) the banath (daughter) of Yaramayah (Jeremiah) of Labanah (Libnah).
32 He ishah (make) that which was rai (evil) in the iyan (eye) of Yahawah (), according to all that his ab (father) ishah (make) done.
33 Paraihanakah (Pharaoh Necoh) asar (put) him in bonds at Rabalah (Riblah) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Chamath (Hamath), that he might not malak (king) in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem); and nathan (give) the aratz (Earth/land) to a inash (tribute) of one maah (hundred) kakar (talents) of kasap (silver), and a kakar (talent) of zahab (gold).
34 Paraihanakah (Pharaoh Necoh) made Alayaqayam (Eliakim) the ban (son) of Yaashayah (Josiah) malak (king) in the place of Yaashayah (Josiah) his ab (father), and sabab (changed) his sham (name) to Yahawayaqayam (Jehoiakim): but he laqach (take / seize) Yahawaachaz (Jehoahaz) laqach (take / seize); and he bawaa (bring) to Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and mawath (death) there.
35 Yahawayaqayam (Jehoiakim) nathan (give) the kasap (silver) and the zahab (gold) to Paraih (Pharaoh); but he irak (taxed) the aratz (Earth/land) to nathan (give) the kasap (money) pah (according) to the commandment of Paraih (Pharaoh): he nagash (exacted) the kasap (silver) and the zahab (gold) of the im (nation / people) of the aratz (Earth/land), of everyone according to his irak (taxation), to nathan (give) it to Paraihanakah (Pharaoh Necoh).
36 Yahawayaqayam (Jehoiakim) was isharayam (twenty) - chamash (five) shanah (years) ban (son) when he began to malak (king); and he malak (king) achad (one) shanah (years) in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem): and his am (mother) sham (name) was Zabayadah (Zebidah) the banath (daughter) of Padayah (Pedaiah) of Rawamah (Rumah).
