מוּת

Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

And when they were departed from him,(for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
