Aplikace, kterou právě používáte, je biblický program Studijní on-line bible (dále jen SOB) verze 2. Jedná se prozatím o testovací verzi, která je oproti původní verzi postavena na HTML5, využívá JavaScriptovou knihovnu JQuery a framework Bootstrap. Nová verze přináší v některých ohledech zjednodušení, v některých ohledech je tomu naopak. Hlavní výhodou by měla být možnost využívání knihovny JQuery pro novou verzi tooltipů (ze kterých je nově možné kopírovat jejich obsah, případně kliknout na aktivní odkazy na nich). V nové verzi by zobrazení překladů i vyhledávek mělo vypadat "profesionálněji", k dispozici by měly být navíc např. informace o modulech apod. Přehrávač namluvených překladů je nyní postaven na technologii HTML5, tzn., že již ke svému provozu nepotřebuje podporu Flash playeru (který již oficiálně např. pro platformu Android není k dispozici, a u kterého se počítá s postupným všeobecným útlumem).
Application you're using is a biblical program Online Bible Study (SOB), version Nr. 2. This is yet a testing release, which is (compared to the previous version) based on HTML5, uses JQuery JavaScript library and Bootstrap framework. The new version brings in some aspects simplifications. The major advantage should be the possibility of using JQuery for the new version tooltips (from which it is now possible to copy their content, or click on active hyperlinks). In the new version are also available informations about the modules and the like. The player of the narrated translations is now HTML5 powered (he does not need Flash player). I hope, that the new features will be gradually added.

1 And the king sent them and they gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem to him.
2 And the king went up to the house of Jehovah with all the men of Judah, and with him all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the priests and the prophets and all the people, both small and great. And he read in their ears all the Words of the Book of the Covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.
3 Then the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Jehovah, to follow Jehovah and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the Words of this covenant that were written in this Book. And all the people stood for the covenant.
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of Jehovah all the articles that were made for Baal, for the grove, and for all the host of the heavens; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 And he put an end to the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had dedicated to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those burning incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the zodiac, and to all the host of the heavens.
6 And he brought out the grove from the house of Jehovah, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and pulverized the ashes, and threw its ashes on the graves of the sons of the people.
7 And he tore down the houses of the male temple prostitutes that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women were weaving shelters for the grove.
8 And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to one's left of the city gate.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Molech.
11 And he did away with the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the official who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 The altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, the king beat them down and ran and hurled their dust into the Brook Kidron.
13 And the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the mount of corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtaroth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 And he broke in pieces the sacred pillars and chopped down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat had made, by which he had made Israel to sin, both that altar and the high place he tore down; and he burned the high place and pulverized it to dust, and burned the grove.
16 And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs that were there on the mountain. And he sent and took the bones out of the tombs and burned them on the altar, and defiled it according to the Word of Jehovah which the man of God had proclaimed, who had proclaimed these things.
17 Then he said, What monument is this that I see? And the men of the city said to him, It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.
18 And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that had come from Samaria.
19 And Josiah also took away all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke to anger; and he did to them according to all the deeds he had done at Bethel.
20 And he slaughtered all the priests of the high places who were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.
22 Surely such a Passover had never been held since the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel nor the kings of Judah.
23 It was in the eighteenth year of King Josiah that this Passover was observed unto Jehovah in Jerusalem.
24 Moreover Josiah put away the mediums and fortunetellers, the household images and idols, all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform the Words of the Law which were written in the Book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Jehovah.
25 And before him there was no king like him, who turned to Jehovah with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him has any arisen like him.
26 Nevertheless Jehovah had not turned from His great burning wrath, with which His anger had been kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him.
27 And Jehovah said, I will also remove Judah from before My face, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I had said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah.
29 In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria, to the River Euphrates; and King Josiah went out to meet him. And Pharaoh Necho killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
30 And his servants made him ride dead from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 And Pharaoh Necho put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 And Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Pharaoh took Jehoahaz and he came to Egypt, and he died there.
35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give money at the mouth of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necho.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
Kapitel 21
Zu diesem Zeitpunkt aber hatte sich das Volk zutiefst verderbt, und der von Gott gegebene Anstoß verschwand vollständig mit dem Manne, in dem er gewirkt hatte. Hiskias Sohn war ein Muster der Bosheit. Gott war im Begriff, den Nationen Macht zu übergeben; und selbst während Er offenbar machte, daß gewisse Segnung mit Treue und Vertrauen auf Ihn verbunden war, ließ Er zu, daß das Haus Davids sich der Erniedrigung preisgab.
Als Hiskia mit vierundfünfzig Jahren starb, war sein Sohn nur zwölf Jahre alt. Selbst betrogen, verführte Manasse das Volk, das nur zu willig war, sich größerer Ungerechtigkeit hinzugeben als die Nationen, die Gott nicht kannten.
Die besonderen Ereignisse im Leben Manasses werden hier nicht erzählt. Nachdem der Heilige Geist uns in dem, was vorhergeht, die Einzelheiten der öffentlichen Regierung Gottes in Israel gegeben hat, bis Er „Lo Ruchama"" (Nichtbegnadete) gesagt hatte, zeigt Er uns dann Sein Handeln mit Juda, das durch das Verhalten seiner Könige beherrscht wurde, bis Gott „Lo-Ammi"" (Nicht-Mein-Volk) sagte. Das war schon wegen der greulichen Sünden Manasses verkündigt worden, und die Frömmigkeit Josias konnte das gerechte Gericht Gottes nicht ändern. Für Juda gab es noch eine gewisse Verlängerung der Ruhe, aber ihre Buße unter Josia war nur äußerlich, und gleich nach seinem Tode gewann das Böse wieder die Oberhand. Amon folgte nur den bösen Wegen seines Vaters Manasse [1].
Kapitel 22-23
Man beachte die Gnade, die Hiskia und Josia erweckt hatte, beide waren Söhne von Vätern, die dem Götzendienst ergeben waren, und es folgten ihnen Söhne, die sich ihm ebenso hingaben. Aber die unumschränkte Gnade Gottes Israel gegenüber erweckte wieder dieses Zeugnis und zeigte, daß Er immer zu segnen bereit ist, sogar wenn Israel sich weigerte, gesegnet zu werden und statt dessen sein eigenes Verderben wählte. Was ist das Herz des Menschen ohne Gott? In alledem wurde die Geduld der Regierung Gottes völlig nachgewiesen, denn unter Hiskia gab es immer noch viele Dinge, die dem Auge und dem Gericht des Königs entgingen, und zwar aus einem Mangel an Wachsamkeit in der Furcht des Herrn.
Was Josia auszeichnete, war seine Sorgfalt, das Gesetz Moses zu beobachten, dessen Buch im Tempel entdeckt wurde; Hiskia war durch Vertrauen auf Jehova gekennzeichnet worden; in diesen Charakterzügen waren sie beide in ihrem Wandel unübertroffen.
Das Königreich Assyriens nahm an Macht ab, und Josia übte seine königliche Macht im ganzen Lande aus. Die dem Jerobeam gegenüber ausgesprochene Drohung erfüllt sich. Alle Höhen in Israel wurden vernichtet. Vielleicht war das Herz Josias aufgebläht. Wie dem auch sei, Gott erfüllte Seine Verheißung und nahm ihn vor dem Bösen hinweg, dessen schreckliche Erfüllung voraneilte, denn wie aufrichtig die Frömmigkeit Josias auch sein mochte, alle Herzen waren verderbt. Vergleiche damit 2. Chronika 30, 17 usw. - den Bericht über das, was sich lange vor seiner Regierungszeit ereignete.
Die Könige von Israel waren verhängnisvolle Beispiele einer Bahn gewesen, die Juda und ganz Israel in ihr Verderben geführt hatte (siehe Kap. 2. Kön 16, 3). Das Bündnis des frommen Josaphat mit Ahab war der Ursprung von allem, denn das Böse erzeugt Früchte, die lange fortdauern und sich fortpflanzen. Wehe! wehe! Was ist der Mensch, wenn er sich von den Wegen Jehovas abwendet, von dem schmalen und geraden Pfade des Wortes und des Willens Gottes, von dem Pfade des Glaubens - von dem wahren Pfade eines gehorsamen Geistes?

Fußnoten:
[1] Siehe Jeremia 3, 10. Diese Stelle lehrt uns, wie selten das Herz, das dasjenige ist, was Gott beurteilt, mit dem oberflächlichen Schein des Eifers für Ihn und für Seine Herrlichkeit übereinstimmt, wenn ein durch den Geist Gottes bewegter Mann des Glaubens erscheint, um Seine Herrlichkeit zu fördern. Siehe auch unter der Regierung Hiskias den Zustand des Volkes und das Gericht Gottes - Jesaja 22.
