2Kings 1




 1. Then Moab <4124> rebelled <6586> against Israel <3478> after

<0310> the death <4194> of Ahab <0256>.




 2 And Ahaziah <0274> fell <5307> down through <1157> a lattice

<7639> in his upper <5944> chamber <5944> that [was] in Samaria

<8111>, and was sick <2470>: and he sent <7971> messengers

<4397>, and said <0559> unto them, Go <3212>, enquire <1875> of

Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138> whether <0518> I

shall recover <2421> of this <2088> disease <2483>.




 3 But the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <1696> to Elijah

<0452> the Tishbite <8664>, Arise <6965>, go <5927> up to meet

<7125> the messengers <4397> of the king <4428> of Samaria

<8111>, and say <1696> unto them, [Is it] not because [there is]

not a God <0430> in Israel <3478>, [that] ye go <1980> to

enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron

<6138>?




 4 Now therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,

 Thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed <4296> on

which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely <3588>

die <4191>. And Elijah <0452> departed <3212>.




 5 And when the messengers <4397> turned <7725> back <7725> unto

him, he said <0559> unto them, Why <4100> are ye now <2088>

turned <7725> back <7725>?




 6 And they said <0559> unto him, There came <5927> a man <0376>

up to meet <7125> us, and said <0559> unto us, Go <3212>, turn

<7725> again <7725> unto the king <4428> that sent <7971> you,

and say <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD

<3068>, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430> in

Israel <3478>, [that] thou sendest <7971> to enquire <1875> of

Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138>? therefore

<3651> thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed

<4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely

<3588> die <4191>.




 7 And he said <1696> unto them, What <4100> manner <4941> of

man <0376> [was he] which <0834> came <5927> up to meet <7125>

you, and told <1696> you these <0428> words <1697>?




 8 And they answered <0559> him, [He was] an hairy man <0376>,

and girt <0247> with a girdle <0232> of leather <5785> about his

loins <4975>. And he said <0559>, It [is] Elijah <0452> the

Tishbite <8664>.




 9. Then the king <4428> sent <7971> unto him a captain <8269>

of fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And he went <5927> up to

him: and, behold <2009>, he sat <3427> on <5921> the top <7218>

of an hill <2022>. And he spake <1696> unto him, Thou man <0376>

of God <0430>, the king <4428> hath said <1696>, Come <3381>

down <3381>.




 10 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said <1696> to the

captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of

God <0430>, then let fire <0784> come <3381> down <3381> from

heaven <8064>, and consume <0398> thee and thy fifty <2572>. And

there came <3381> down <3381> fire <0784> from heaven <8064>,

and consumed <0398> him and his fifty <2572>.




 11 Again <7725> also he sent <7971> unto him another <0312>

captain <8269> of fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And he

answered <6030> and said <1696> unto him, O man <0376> of God

<0430>, thus <3541> hath the king <4428> said <0559>, Come

<3381> down <3381> quickly <4120>.




 12 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said <1696> unto them,

If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, let fire <0784>

come <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consume <0398>

thee and thy fifty <2572>. And the fire <0784> of God <0430>

came <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consumed <0398>

him and his fifty <2572>.




 13 And he sent <7971> again <7725> a captain <8269> of the

third <7992> fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And the third

<7992> captain <8269> of fifty <2572> went <5927> up, and came

<0935> and fell <3766> on <5921> his knees <1290> before <5048>

Elijah <0452>, and besought <2603> him, and said <1696> unto him,

 O man <0376> of God <0430>, I pray <4994> thee, let my life

<5315>, and the life of these <0428> fifty <2572> thy servants

<5650>, be precious <3365> in thy sight <5869>.




 14 Behold <2009>, there came <3381> fire <0784> down <3381>

from heaven <8064>, and burnt <0398> up the two <8147> captains

<8269> of the former <7223> fifties <2572> with their fifties

<2572>: therefore let my life <5315> now <6258> be precious

<3365> in thy sight <5869>.




 15 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <1696> unto

Elijah <0452>, Go <3381> down <3381> with him: be not afraid

<3372> of him. And he arose <6965>, and went <3381> down <3381>

with him unto the king <4428>.




 16 And he said <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the

LORD <3068>, Forasmuch as thou hast sent <7971> messengers

<4397> to enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of

Ekron <6138>, [is it] not because [there is] no <0369> God

<0430> in Israel <3478> to enquire <1875> of his word <1697>?

therefore thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> off that bed

<4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely

<3588> die <4191>.




 17 So he died <4191> according to the word <1697> of the LORD

<3068> which <0834> Elijah <0452> had spoken <1696>. And Jehoram

<3088> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478> in the second <8147>

year <8141> of Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat

<3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; because <3588> he had <1961>

no <3808> son <1121>.




 18 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaziah <0274>

which <0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the

book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Israel <3478>?




2Kings 2




 1. And it came <1961> to pass, when the LORD <3068> would take

<5927> up Elijah <0452> into heaven <8064> by a whirlwind <5591>,

 that Elijah <0452> went <3212> with Elisha <0477> from Gilgal

<1537>.




 2 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Tarry

<3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath

sent <7971> me to Bethel <1008>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559>

[unto him, As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul

<5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they went

<3381> down <3381> to Bethel <1008>.




 3 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at

Bethel <1008> came <3318> forth <3318> to Elisha <0477>, and

said <0559> unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068>

will take <3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head <7218> to

day <3117>? And he said <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it];

hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>.




 4 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Elisha <0477>, tarry

<3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath

sent <7971> me to Jericho <3405>. And he said <0559>, [As] the

LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth

<2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they came <0935> to

Jericho <3405>.




 5 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at

Jericho <3405> came <5066> to Elisha <0477>, and said <0559>

unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068> will take

<3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head <7218> to day

<3117>? And he answered <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it];

hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>.




 6 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Tarry <3427>, I pray

<4994> thee, here <6311>; for the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971>

me to Jordan <3383>. And he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068>

liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth <2416>, I will

not leave <5800> thee. And they two <8147> went <3212> on.




 7 And fifty <2572> men <0376> of the sons <1121> of the

prophets <5030> went <1980>, and stood <5975> to view <5048>

afar <7350> off: and they two <8147> stood <5975> by Jordan

<3383>.




 8 And Elijah <0452> took <3947> his mantle <0155>, and wrapped

<1563> [it] together, and smote <5221> the waters <4325>, and

they were divided <2673> hither and thither <2008>, so that they

two <8147> went <5674> over <5674> on dry <2724> ground.




 9. And it came <1961> to pass, when they were gone <5674> over

<5674>, that Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Ask

<7592> what <4100> I shall do <6213> for thee, before <2962> I

be taken <3947> away from thee. And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, I

pray <4994> thee, let a double <8147> portion <6310> of thy

spirit <7307> be upon me.




 10 And he said <0559>, Thou hast asked <7592> a hard <7185>

thing: [nevertheless], if <0518> thou see <7200> me [when I am]

taken <3947> from thee, it shall be so <3651> unto thee; but if

<0518> not, it shall not be [so].




 11 And it came <1961> to pass, as they still went <1980> on,

and talked <1696>, that, behold <2009>, [there appeared] a

chariot <7393> of fire <0784>, and horses <5483> of fire <0784>,

and parted <6504> them both <8147> asunder <0996>; and Elijah

<0452> went <5927> up by a whirlwind <5591> into heaven <8064>.




 12 And Elisha <0477> saw <7200> [it], and he cried <6817>, My

father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>,

and the horsemen <6571> thereof. And he saw <7200> him no <3808>

more <5750>: and he took hold <2388> of his own <0249> clothes

<0899>, and rent <7167> them in two <8147> pieces <7168>.




 13. He took <7311> up also the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452>

that fell <5307> from him, and went <7725> back <7725>, and

stood <5975> by the bank <8193> of Jordan <3383>;




 14 And he took <3947> the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that

fell <5307> from him, and smote <5221> the waters <4325>, and

said <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of

Elijah <0452>? and when he also had smitten <5221> the waters

<4325>, they parted <2673> hither and thither <2008>: and Elisha

<0477> went <5674> over <5674>.




 15 And when the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> which <0834>

[were] to view <5048> at Jericho <3405> saw <7200> him, they

said <0559>, The spirit <7307> of Elijah <0452> doth rest <5117>

on <5921> Elisha <0477>. And they came <0935> to meet <7125> him,

 and bowed <7812> themselves to the ground <0776> before him.




 16 And they said <0559> unto him, Behold <2009> now <4994>,

there be with thy servants <5650> fifty <2572> strong <2428> men;

 let them go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, and seek <1245> thy

master <0113>: lest <6435> peradventure the Spirit <7307> of the

LORD <3068> hath taken <5375> him up, and cast <7993> him upon

some <0259> mountain <2022>, or <0176> into some <0259> valley

<1516>. And he said <0559>, Ye shall not send <7971>.




 17 And when they urged <6484> him till <5704> he was ashamed

<0954>, he said <0559>, Send <7971>. They sent <7971> therefore

fifty <2572> men <0376>; and they sought <1245> three <7969>

days <3117>, but found <4672> him not.




 18 And when they came <7725> again <7725> to him, (for he

tarried <3427> at Jericho <3405>,) he said <0559> unto them, Did

I not say <0559> unto you, Go <3212> not?




 19. And the men <0582> of the city <5892> said <0559> unto

Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009>, I pray <4994> thee, the situation

<4186> of this <2088> city <5892> [is] pleasant <2896>, as my

lord <0113> seeth <7200>: but the water <4325> [is] naught

<7451>, and the ground <0776> barren <7921>.




 20 And he said <0559>, Bring <3947> me a new <2319> cruse

<6746>, and put <7760> salt <4417> therein <8033>. And they

brought <0935> [it] to him.




 21 And he went <3318> forth <3318> unto the spring <4161> of

the waters <4325>, and cast <7993> the salt <4417> in there, and

said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have

healed <7495> these <0428> waters <4325>; there shall not be

from thence <8033> any more <5750> death <4194> or barren <7921>

[land].




 22 So the waters <4325> were healed <7495> unto this <2088> day

<3117>, according to the saying <1697> of Elisha <0477> which

<0834> he spake <1696>.




 23 And he went <5927> up from thence <8033> unto Bethel <1008>:

and as he was going <5927> up by the way <1870>, there came

<3318> forth <3318> little <6996> children <5288> out of the

city <5892>, and mocked <7046> him, and said <0559> unto him, Go

<5927> up, thou bald <7142> head; go <5927> up, thou bald <7142>

head.




 24 And he turned <6437> back <0310>, and looked <7200> on them,

and cursed <7043> them in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.

And there came <3318> forth <3318> two <8147> she bears <1677>

out of the wood <3293>, and tare <1234> forty <0705> and two

<8147> children <3206> of them.




 25 And he went <3212> from thence <8033> to mount <2022> Carmel

<3760>, and from thence <8033> he returned <7725> to Samaria

<8111>.




2Kings 3




 1. Now Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> began to

reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> the

eighteenth year <8141> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of

Judah <3063>, and reigned <4427> twelve years <8141>.




 2 And he wrought <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the

LORD <3068>; but not like his father <1>, and like his mother

<0517>: for he put <5493> away <5493> the image <4676> of Baal

<1168> that his father <1> had made <6213>.




 3 Nevertheless <7535> he cleaved <1692> unto the sins <2403> of

Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which <0834>

made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed <5493> not

therefrom.




 4 And Mesha <4337> king <4428> of Moab <4124> was a sheepmaster

<5349>, and rendered <7725> unto the king <4428> of Israel

<3478> an hundred <3967> thousand <0505> lambs <3733>, and an

hundred <3967> thousand <0505> rams <0352>, with the wool <6785>.




 5 But it came <1961> to pass, when Ahab <0256> was dead <4194>,

that the king <4428> of Moab <4124> rebelled <6586> against the

king <4428> of Israel <3478>.




 6. And king <4428> Jehoram <3088> went <3318> out of Samaria

<8111> the same <1931> time <3117>, and numbered <6485> all

<3605> Israel <3478>.




 7 And he went <3212> and sent <7971> to Jehoshaphat <3092> the

king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of

Moab <4124> hath rebelled <6586> against me: wilt thou go <3212>

with me against <0413> Moab <4124> to battle <4421>? And he said

<0559>, I will go <5927> up: I [am] as thou [art], my people

<5971> as thy people <5971>, [and] my horses <5483> as thy

horses <5483>.




 8 And he said <0559>, Which way <1870> shall we go <5927> up?

And he answered <0559>, The way <1870> through the wilderness

<4057> of Edom <0123>.




 9 So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> went <3212>, and the king

<4428> of Judah <3063>, and the king <4428> of Edom <0123>: and

they fetched a compass <5437> of seven <7651> days <3117>'

journey <1870>: and there was no <3808> water <4325> for the

host <4264>, and for the cattle <0929> that followed <7272> them.




 10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said <0559>, Alas

<0160>! that the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> these <0428>

three <7969> kings <4428> together, to deliver <5414> them into

the hand <3027> of Moab <4124>!




 11 But Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, [Is there] not here

<6311> a prophet <5030> of the LORD <3068>, that we may enquire

<1875> of the LORD <3068> by him? And one <0259> of the king

<4428> of Israel's <3478> servants <5650> answered <6030> and

said <0559>, Here <6311> [is] Elisha <0477> the son <1121> of

Shaphat <8202>, which <0834> poured <3332> water <4325> on

<5921> the hands <3027> of Elijah <0452>.




 12 And Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, The word <1697> of the

LORD <3068> is with him. So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> and

Jehoshaphat <3092> and the king <4428> of Edom <0123> went

<3381> down <3381> to him.




 13 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto the king <4428> of Israel

<3478>, What <4100> have I to do with thee? get <3212> thee to

the prophets <5030> of thy father <1>, and to the prophets

<5030> of thy mother <0517>. And the king <4428> of Israel

<3478> said <0559> unto him, Nay <0408>: for the LORD <3068>

hath called <7121> these <0428> three <7969> kings <4428>

together, to deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Moab

<4124>.




 14 And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> liveth <2416>, before <6440> whom <0834> I stand <5975>,

surely <3588>, were it not that I regard <5375> the presence

<6440> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, I

would not look <5027> toward <0413> thee, nor <0518> see <7200>

thee.




 15 But now <6258> bring <3947> me a minstrel <5059>. And it

came <1961> to pass, when the minstrel <5059> played <5059>,

that the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> upon him.




 16 And he said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,

 Make <6213> this <2088> valley <5158> full of ditches <1356>.




 17 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Ye shall not

see <7200> wind <7307>, neither <3808> shall ye see <7200> rain

<1653>; yet that valley <5158> shall be filled <4390> with water

<4325>, that ye may drink <8354>, both ye, and your cattle

<4735>, and your beasts <0929>.




 18 And this <2063> is [but] a light <7043> thing in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he will deliver <5414> the Moabites

<4124> also into your hand <3027>.




 19 And ye shall smite <5221> every <3605> fenced <4013> city

<5892>, and every <3605> choice <4005> city <5892>, and shall

fell <5307> every <3605> good <2896> tree <6086>, and stop

<5640> all <3605> wells <4599> of water <4325>, and mar <3510>

every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land with stones <68>.




 20. And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, when the

meat offering <4503> was offered <5927>, that, behold <2009>,

there came <0935> water <4325> by the way <1870> of Edom <0123>,

and the country <0776> was filled <4390> with water <4325>.




 21 And when all <3605> the Moabites <4124> heard <8085> that

the kings <4428> were come <5927> up to fight <3898> against

them, they gathered <6817> all <3605> that were able <2296> to

put <2296> on armour <2290>, and upward <4605>, and stood <5975>

in the border <1366>.




 22 And they rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning <1242>,

and the sun <8121> shone <2224> upon the water <4325>, and the

Moabites <4124> saw <7200> the water <4325> on the other <5048>

side <5048> [as] red <0122> as blood <1818>:




 23 And they said <0559>, This <2088> [is] blood <1818>: the

kings <4428> are surely slain <2717>, and they have smitten

<5221> one <0376> another <7453>: now <6258> therefore, Moab

<4124>, to the spoil <7998>.




 24 And when they came <0935> to the camp <4264> of Israel

<3478>, the Israelites <3478> rose <6965> up and smote <5221>

the Moabites <4124>, so that they fled <5127> before <6440> them:

 but they went <5221> forward smiting <5221> the Moabites <4124>,

 even in [their] country.




 25 And they beat <2040> down <2040> the cities <5892>, and on

every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land cast <7993> every

man <0376> his stone <68>, and filled <4390> it; and they

stopped <5640> all <3605> the wells <4599> of water <4325>, and

felled <5307> all <3605> the good <2896> trees <6086>: only in

Kirharaseth <7025> left <7604> they the stones <68> thereof;

howbeit the slingers <7051> went <5437> about <5437> [it], and

smote <5221> it.




 26 And when the king <4428> of Moab <4124> saw <7200> that the

battle <4421> was too sore <2388> for him, he took <3947> with

him seven <7651> hundred <3967> men <0376> that drew <8025>

swords <2719>, to break <1234> through <1234> [even] unto the

king <4428> of Edom <0123>: but they could <3201> not.




 27 Then he took <3947> his eldest <1060> son <1121> that should

have reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, and offered <5927> him

[for] a burnt <5930> offering upon the wall <2346>. And there

was great <1419> indignation <7110> against <5921> Israel <3478>:

 and they departed <5265> from him, and returned <7725> to

[their own] land <0776>.




2Kings 4




 1. Now there cried <6817> a certain <0259> woman <0802> of the

wives <0802> of the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> unto

Elisha <0477>, saying <0559>, Thy servant <5650> my husband

<0376> is dead <4191>; and thou knowest <3045> that thy servant

<5650> did fear <3373> the LORD <3068>: and the creditor <5383>

is come <0935> to take <3947> unto him my two <8147> sons <3206>

to be bondmen <5650>.




 2 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> shall I

do <6213> for thee? tell <5046> me, what <4100> hast <3426> thou

in the house <1004>? And she said <0559>, Thine handmaid <8198>

hath not any <3605> thing in the house <1004>, save <3467> a pot

<0610> of oil <8081>.




 3 Then he said <0559>, Go <3212>, borrow <7592> thee vessels

<3627> abroad <2351> of all <3605> thy neighbours <7934>, [even]

empty <7385> vessels <3627>; borrow not a few <4591>.




 4 And when thou art come <0935> in, thou shalt shut <5462> the

door <1817> upon thee and upon thy sons <1121>, and shalt pour

<3332> out into <5921> all <3605> those <0428> vessels <3627>,

and thou shalt set <5265> aside <5265> that which is full <4392>.




 5 So she went <3212> from him, and shut <5462> the door <1817>

upon her and upon her sons <1121>, who <1992> brought <5066>

[the vessels] to her; and she poured <3332> out.




 6 And it came <1961> to pass, when the vessels <3627> were full

<4390>, that she said <0559> unto her son <1121>, Bring <5066>

me yet a vessel <3627>. And he said <0559> unto her, [There is]

not a vessel <3627> more <5750>. And the oil <8081> stayed

<5975>.




 7 Then she came <0935> and told <5046> the man <0376> of God

<0430>. And he said <0559>, Go <3212>, sell <4376> the oil

<8081>, and pay <7999> thy debt <5386>, and live <2421> thou and

thy children <1121> of the rest <3498>.




 8. And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that Elisha <0477>

passed <5674> to Shunem <7766>, where <8033> [was] a great

<1419> woman <0802>; and she constrained <2388> him to eat

<0398> bread <3899>. And [so] it was, [that] as oft <1767> as he

passed <5674> by, he turned <5493> in thither <8033> to eat

<0398> bread <3899>.




 9 And she said <0559> unto her husband <0376>, Behold <2009>

now <4994>, I perceive <3045> that this <1931> [is] an holy

<6918> man <0376> of God <0430>, which passeth <5674> by us

continually <8548>.




 10 Let us make <6213> a little <6996> chamber <5944>, I pray

<4994> thee, on the wall <7023>; and let us set <7760> for him

there <8033> a bed <4296>, and a table <7979>, and a stool

<3678>, and a candlestick <4501>: and it shall be, when he

cometh <0935> to us, that he shall turn <5493> in thither <8033>.




 11 And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that he came <0935>

thither <8033>, and he turned <5493> into <0413> the chamber

<5944>, and lay <7901> there <8033>.




 12 And he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant <5288>, Call

<7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. And when he had called

<7121> her, she stood <5975> before <6440> him.




 13 And he said <0559> unto him, Say <0559> now <4994> unto her,

Behold <2009>, thou hast been careful <2729> for us with all

<3605> this <2063> care <2731>; what <4100> [is] to be done

<6213> for thee? wouldest <3426> thou be spoken <1696> for to

the king <4428>, or <0176> to the captain <8269> of the host

<6635>? And she answered <0559>, I dwell <3427> among <8432>

mine own people <5971>.




 14 And he said <0559>, What <4100> then [is] to be done <6213>

for her? And Gehazi <1522> answered <0559>, Verily <61> she hath

no <0369> child <1121>, and her husband <0376> is old <2204>.




 15 And he said <0559>, Call <7121> her. And when he had called

<7121> her, she stood <5975> in the door <6607>.




 16 And he said <0559>, About this <2088> season <4150>,

according to the time <6256> of life <2416>, thou shalt embrace

<2263> a son <1121>. And she said <0559>, Nay <0408>, my lord

<0113>, [thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, do not lie <3576> unto

thine handmaid <8198>.




 17 And the woman <0802> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son

<1121> at that season <4150> that Elisha <0477> had said <1696>

unto her, according to the time <6256> of life <2416>.




 18. And when the child <3206> was grown <1431>, it fell <1961>

on a day <3117>, that he went <3318> out to his father <1> to

the reapers <7114>.




 19 And he said <0559> unto his father <1>, My head <7218>, my

head <7218>. And he said <0559> to a lad <5288>, Carry <5375>

him to his mother <0517>.




 20 And when he had taken <5375> him, and brought <0935> him to

his mother <0517>, he sat <3427> on <5921> her knees <1290> till

<5704> noon <6672>, and [then] died <4191>.




 21 And she went <5927> up, and laid <7901> him on <5921> the

bed <4296> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, and shut <5462> [the

door] upon him, and went <3318> out.




 22 And she called <7121> unto her husband <0376>, and said

<0559>, Send <7971> me, I pray <4994> thee, one <0259> of the

young <5288> men, and one <0259> of the asses <0860>, that I may

run <7323> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, and come <7725>

again <7725>.




 23 And he said <0559>, Wherefore <4069> wilt thou go <1980> to

him to day <3117>? [it is] neither <3808> new <2320> moon <2320>,

 nor <3808> sabbath <7676>. And she said <0559>, [It shall be]

well <7965>.




 24 Then she saddled <2280> an ass <0860>, and said <0559> to

her servant <5288>, Drive <5090>, and go <3212> forward; slack

<6113> not [thy] riding <7392> for me, except I bid <0559> thee.




 25 So she went <3212> and came <0935> unto the man <0376> of

God <0430> to mount <2022> Carmel <3760>. And it came <1961> to

pass, when the man <0376> of God <0430> saw <7200> her afar

<7350> off, that he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant

<5288>, Behold <2009>, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767>:




 26 Run <7323> now <6258>, I pray <4994> thee, to meet <7125>

her, and say <0559> unto her, [Is it] well <7965> with thee? [is

it] well <7965> with thy husband <0376>? [is it] well <7965>

with the child <3206>? And she answered <0559>, [It is] well

<7965>.




 27 And when she came <0935> to the man <0376> of God <0430> to

the hill <2022>, she caught <2388> him by the feet <7272>: but

Gehazi <1522> came <5066> near <5066> to thrust <1920> her away.

And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Let her alone

<7503>; for her soul <5315> [is] vexed <4843> within her: and

the LORD <3068> hath hid <5956> [it] from me, and hath not told

<5046> me.




 28 Then she said <0559>, Did I desire <7592> a son <1121> of my

lord <0113>? did I not say <0559>, Do not deceive <7952> me?




 29 Then he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522>, Gird <2296> up thy

loins <4975>, and take <3947> my staff <4938> in thine hand

<3027>, and go <3212> thy way <1870>: if <3588> thou meet <4672>

any man <0376>, salute <1288> him not; and if <3588> any <0376>

salute <1288> thee, answer <6030> him not again: and lay <7760>

my staff <4938> upon the face <6440> of the child <5288>.




 30 And the mother <0517> of the child <5288> said <0559>, [As]

the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth

<2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. And he arose <6965>, and

followed her.




 31 And Gehazi <1522> passed <5674> on before <6440> them, and

laid <7760> the staff <4938> upon the face <6440> of the child

<5288>; but [there was] neither <0369> voice <6963>, nor <0369>

hearing <7182>. Wherefore he went <7725> again <7725> to meet

<7125> him, and told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The child <5288>

is not awaked <6974>.




 32 And when Elisha <0477> was come <0935> into the house <1004>,

 behold <2009>, the child <5288> was dead <4191>, [and] laid

<7901> upon his bed <4296>.




 33 He went <0935> in therefore, and shut <5462> the door <1817>

upon them twain <8147>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>.




 34 And he went <5927> up, and lay <7901> upon the child <3206>,

and put <7760> his mouth <6310> upon his mouth <6310>, and his

eyes <5869> upon his eyes <5869>, and his hands <3709> upon his

hands <3709>: and he stretched <1457> himself upon the child

<3206>; and the flesh <1320> of the child <3206> waxed warm

<2552>.




 35 Then he returned <7725>, and walked <3212> in the house

<1004> to and fro; and went <5927> up, and stretched <1457>

himself upon him: and the child <5288> sneezed <2237> seven

<7651> times <6471>, and the child <5288> opened <6491> his eyes

<5869>.




 36 And he called <7121> Gehazi <1522>, and said <0559>, Call

<7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. So he called <7121> her.

And when she was come <0935> in unto him, he said <0559>, Take

<5375> up thy son <1121>.




 37 Then she went <0935> in, and fell <5307> at <5921> his feet

<7272>, and bowed <7812> herself to the ground <0776>, and took

<5375> up her son <1121>, and went <3318> out.




 38. And Elisha <0477> came <7725> again <7725> to Gilgal <1537>:

 and [there was] a dearth <7458> in the land <0776>; and the

sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> [were] sitting <3427> before

<6440> him: and he said <0559> unto his servant <5288>, Set

<8239> on the great <1419> pot <5518>, and seethe <1310> pottage

<5138> for the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030>.




 39 And one <0259> went <3318> out into <0413> the field <7704>

to gather <3950> herbs <0219>, and found <4672> a wild <7704>

vine <1612>, and gathered <3950> thereof wild <7704> gourds

<6498> his lap <0899> full <4393>, and came <0935> and shred

<6398> [them] into <0413> the pot <5518> of pottage <5138>: for

they knew <3045> [them] not.




 40 So they poured <3332> out for the men <0582> to eat <0398>.

And it came <1961> to pass, as they were eating <0398> of the

pottage <5138>, that they cried <6817> out, and said <0559>, O

[thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, [there is] death <4194> in the

pot <5518>. And they could <3201> not eat <0398> [thereof].




 41 But he said <0559>, Then bring <3947> meal <7058>. And he

cast <7993> [it] into <0413> the pot <5518>; and he said <0559>,

Pour <3332> out for the people <5971>, that they may eat <0398>.

And there was no <3808> harm in the pot <5518>.




 42 And there came <0935> a man <0376> from Baalshalisha <1190>,

and brought <0935> the man <0376> of God <0430> bread <3899> of

the firstfruits <1061>, twenty <6242> loaves <3899> of barley

<8184>, and full ears <3759> of corn <3759> in the husk <6861>

thereof. And he said <0559>, Give <5414> unto the people <5971>,

that they may eat <0398>.




 43 And his servitor <8334> said <0559>, What <4100>, should I

set <5414> this <2088> before <6440> an hundred <3967> men

<0376>? He said <0559> again, Give <5414> the people <5971>,

that they may eat <0398>: for thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD

<3068>, They shall eat <0398>, and shall leave <3498> [thereof].




 44 So he set <5414> [it] before <6440> them, and they did eat

<0398>, and left <3498> [thereof], according to the word <1697>

of the LORD <3068>.




2Kings 5




 1. Now Naaman <5283>, captain <8269> of the host <6635> of the

king <4428> of Syria <0758>, was a great <1419> man <0376> with

his master <0113>, and honourable, because <3588> by him the

LORD <3068> had <1961> given <5414> deliverance <8668> unto

Syria <0758>: he was also a mighty <1368> man <0376> in valour

<2428>, [but he was] a leper <6879>.




 2 And the Syrians <0758> had gone <3318> out by companies

<1416>, and had brought <7617> away captive <7617> out of the

land <0776> of Israel <3478> a little <6996> maid <5291>; and

she waited on Naaman's <5283> wife <0802>.




 3 And she said <0559> unto her mistress <1404>, Would <0305>

God my lord <0113> [were] with the prophet <5030> that [is] in

Samaria <8111>! for he would recover <0622> him of his leprosy

<6883>.




 4 And [one] went <0935> in, and told <5046> his lord <0113>,

saying <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063> said <1696> the maid

<5291> that [is] of the land <0776> of Israel <3478>.




 5 And the king <4428> of Syria <0758> said <0559>, Go <3212> to,

 go <0935>, and I will send <7971> a letter <5612> unto the king

<4428> of Israel <3478>. And he departed <3212>, and took <3947>

with him ten <6235> talents <3603> of silver <3701>, and six

<8337> thousand <0505> [pieces] of gold <2091>, and ten <6235>

changes <2487> of raiment <0899>.




 6 And he brought <0935> the letter <5612> to the king <4428> of

Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Now <6258> when this <2088> letter

<5612> is come <0935> unto thee, behold <2009>, I have

[therewith] sent <7971> Naaman <5283> my servant <5650> to thee,

that thou mayest recover <0622> him of his leprosy <6883>.




 7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> of Israel

<3478> had read <7121> the letter <5612>, that he rent <7167>

his clothes <0899>, and said <0559>, [Am] I God <0430>, to kill

<4191> and to make alive <2421>, that this <2088> man doth send

<7971> unto me to recover <0622> a man <0376> of his leprosy

<6883>? wherefore consider <3045>, I pray <4994> you, and see

<7200> how <3588> he seeketh <0579> a quarrel <0579> against me.




 8 And it was [so], when Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God

<0430> had heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Israel <3478>

had rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, that he sent <7971> to the

king <4428>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4100> hast thou rent

<7167> thy clothes <0899>? let him come <0935> now <4994> to me,

and he shall know <3045> that there is a prophet <5030> in

Israel <3478>.




 9. So Naaman <5283> came <0935> with his horses <5483> and with

his chariot <7393>, and stood <5975> at the door <6607> of the

house <1004> of Elisha <0477>.




 10 And Elisha <0477> sent <7971> a messenger <4397> unto him,

saying <0559>, Go <1980> and wash <7364> in Jordan <3383> seven

<7651> times <6471>, and thy flesh <1320> shall come <7725>

again <7725> to thee, and thou shalt be clean <2891>.




 11 But Naaman <5283> was wroth <7107>, and went <3212> away,

and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I thought <0559>, He will surely

come <3318> out to me, and stand <5975>, and call <7121> on the

name <8034> of the LORD <3068> his God <0430>, and strike <5130>

his hand <3027> over <0413> the place <4725>, and recover <0622>

the leper <6879>.




 12 [Are] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554>, rivers <5104> of

Damascus <1834>, better <2896> than all <3605> the waters <4325>

of Israel <3478>? may I not wash <7364> in them, and be clean

<2891>? So he turned <6437> and went <3212> away in a rage

<2534>.




 13 And his servants <5650> came <5066> near <5066>, and spake

<1696> unto him, and said <0559>, My father <1>, [if] the

prophet <5030> had bid <1696> thee [do some] great <1419> thing

<1697>, wouldest thou not have done <6213> [it]? how <0637> much

rather then, when <3588> he saith <0559> to thee, Wash <7364>,

and be clean <2891>?




 14 Then went <3381> he down <3381>, and dipped <2881> himself

seven <7651> times <6471> in Jordan <3383>, according to the

saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and his flesh

<1320> came <7725> again <7725> like unto the flesh <1320> of a

little <6995> child <5288>, and he was clean <2891>.




 15. And he returned <7725> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, he

and all <3605> his company <4264>, and came <0935>, and stood

<5975> before <6440> him: and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, now

<4994> I know <3045> that [there is] no <0369> God <0430> in all

<3605> the earth <0776>, but in Israel <3478>: now <6258>

therefore, I pray <4994> thee, take <3947> a blessing <1293> of

thy servant <5650>.




 16 But he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>,

before <6440> whom <0834> I stand <5975>, I will receive <3947>

none. And he urged <6484> him to take <3947> [it]; but he

refused <3985>.




 17 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Shall there not then, I pray

<4994> thee, be given <5414> to thy servant <5650> two mules

<6505>' burden <4853> of earth <0127>? for thy servant <5650>

will henceforth <5750> offer <6213> neither <3808> burnt <5930>

offering nor sacrifice <2077> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, but

unto the LORD <3068>.




 18 In this <2088> thing <1697> the LORD <3068> pardon <5545>

thy servant <5650>, [that] when my master <0113> goeth <0935>

into the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417> to worship <7812> there

<8033>, and he leaneth <8127> on <5921> my hand <3027>, and I

bow <7812> myself in the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417>: when I

bow <7812> down <7812> myself in the house <1004> of Rimmon

<7417>, the LORD <3068> pardon <5545> thy servant <5650> in this

<2088> thing <1697>.




 19 And he said <0559> unto him, Go <3212> in peace <7965>. So

he departed <3212> from him a little <3530> way <0776>.




 20. But Gehazi <1522>, the servant <5288> of Elisha <0477> the

man <0376> of God <0430>, said <0559>, Behold <2009>, my master

<0113> hath spared <2820> Naaman <5283> this <2088> Syrian

<0761>, in not receiving <3947> at his hands <3027> that which

<0834> he brought <0935>: but, [as] the LORD <3068> liveth

<2416>, I will run <7323> after <0310> him, and take <3947>

somewhat <3972> of him.




 21 So Gehazi <1522> followed <7291> after <0310> Naaman <5283>.

And when Naaman <5283> saw <7200> [him] running <7323> after

<0310> him, he lighted <5307> down from the chariot <4818> to

meet <7125> him, and said <0559>, [Is] all well <7965>?




 22 And he said <0559>, All [is] well <7965>. My master <0113>

hath sent <7971> me, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, even now

<6258> there be come <0935> to me from mount <2022> Ephraim

<0669> two <8147> young <5288> men of the sons <1121> of the

prophets <5030>: give <5414> them, I pray <4994> thee, a talent

<3603> of silver <3701>, and two <8147> changes <2487> of

garments <0899>.




 23 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Be content <2974>, take

<3947> two talents <3603>. And he urged <6555> him, and bound

<6887> two <8147> talents <3603> of silver <3701> in two <8147>

bags <2754>, with two <8147> changes <2487> of garments <0899>,

and laid <5414> [them] upon two <8147> of his servants <5288>;

and they bare <5375> [them] before <6440> him.




 24 And when he came <0935> to the tower <6076>, he took <3947>

[them] from their hand <3027>, and bestowed <6485> [them] in the

house <1004>: and he let the men <0582> go <7971>, and they

departed <3212>.




 25 But he went <0935> in, and stood <5975> before <0413> his

master <0113>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Whence

<0370> [comest thou], Gehazi <1522>? And he said <0559>, Thy

servant <5650> went <1980> no <3808> whither <0575>.




 26 And he said <0559> unto him, Went <1980> not mine heart

<3820> [with thee], when the man <0376> turned <2015> again from

his chariot <4818> to meet <7125> thee? [Is it] a time <6256> to

receive <3947> money <3701>, and to receive <3947> garments

<0899>, and oliveyards <2132>, and vineyards <3754>, and sheep

<6629>, and oxen <1241>, and menservants <5650>, and

maidservants <8198>?




 27 The leprosy <6883> therefore of Naaman <5283> shall cleave

<1692> unto thee, and unto thy seed <2233> for ever <5769>. And

he went <3318> out from his presence <6440> a leper <6879> [as

white] as snow <7950>.




2Kings 6




 1. And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> said <0559> unto

Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, the place <4725> where

we dwell <3427> with thee is too strait <6862> for us.




 2 Let us go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, unto Jordan <3383>,

and take <3947> thence <8033> every man <0376> a beam <6982>,

and let us make <6213> us a place <4725> there <8033>, where

<8033> we may dwell <3427>. And he answered <0559>, Go <3212> ye.




 3 And one <0259> said <0559>, Be content <2974>, I pray <4994>

thee, and go <3212> with thy servants <5650>. And he answered

<0559>, I will go <3212>.




 4 So he went <3212> with them. And when they came <0935> to

Jordan <3383>, they cut <1504> down wood <6086>.




 5 But as one <0259> was felling <5307> a beam <6982>, the axe

<1270> head <1270> fell <5307> into <0413> the water <4325>: and

he cried <6817>, and said <0559>, Alas <0160>, master <0113>!

for it was borrowed <7592>.




 6 And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Where <0575>

fell <5307> it? And he shewed <7200> him the place <4725>. And

he cut <7094> down a stick <6086>, and cast <7993> [it] in

thither <8033>; and the iron <1270> did swim <6687>.




 7 Therefore said <0559> he, Take <7311> [it] up to thee. And he

put <7971> out his hand <3027>, and took <3947> it.




 8. Then the king <4428> of Syria <0758> warred <3898> against

Israel <3478>, and took counsel <3289> with his servants <5650>,

saying <0559>, In such <6423> and such <0492> a place <4725>

[shall be] my camp <8466>.




 9 And the man <0376> of God <0430> sent <7971> unto the king

<4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Beware <8104> that thou

pass <5674> not such <2088> a place <4725>; for thither <8033>

the Syrians <0758> are come <5185> down <5181>.




 10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> sent <7971> to the

place <4725> which <0834> the man <0376> of God <0430> told

<0559> him and warned <2094> him of, and saved <8104> himself

there <8033>, not once <0259> nor <3808> twice <8147>.




 11 Therefore the heart <3820> of the king <4428> of Syria

<0758> was sore troubled <5590> for this <2088> thing <1697>;

and he called <7121> his servants <5650>, and said <0559> unto

them, Will ye not shew <5046> me which <4310> of us [is] for the

king <4428> of Israel <3478>?




 12 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> said <0559>, None

<3808>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>: but Elisha <0477>, the

prophet <5030> that [is] in Israel <3478>, telleth <5046> the

king <4428> of Israel <3478> the words <1697> that thou speakest

<1696> in thy bedchamber.




 13. And he said <0559>, Go <3212> and spy <7200> where <0351>

he [is], that I may send <7971> and fetch <3947> him. And it was

told <5046> him, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, [he is] in Dothan

<1886>.




 14 Therefore sent <7971> he thither <8033> horses <5483>, and

chariots <7393>, and a great <3515> host <2428>: and they came

<0935> by night <3915>, and compassed <5362> the city <5892>

about <5362>.




 15 And when the servant <8334> of the man <0376> of God <0430>

was risen <6965> early <7925>, and gone <3318> forth <3318>,

behold <2009>, an host <2428> compassed <5437> the city <5892>

both with horses <5483> and chariots <7393>. And his servant

<5288> said <0559> unto him, Alas <0160>, my master <0113>! how

<0349> shall we do <6213>?




 16 And he answered <0559>, Fear <3372> not: for they that [be]

with us [are] more <7227> than they that [be] with them.




 17 And Elisha <0477> prayed <6419>, and said <0559>, LORD

<3068>, I pray <4994> thee, open <6491> his eyes <5869>, that he

may see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened <6491> the eyes

<5869> of the young <5288> man; and he saw <7200>: and, behold

<2009>, the mountain <2022> [was] full <4390> of horses <5483>

and chariots <7393> of fire <0784> round <5439> about Elisha

<0477>.




 18 And when they came <3381> down <3381> to him, Elisha <0477>

prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, Smite

<5221> this <2088> people <1471>, I pray <4994> thee, with

blindness <5575>. And he smote <5221> them with blindness <5575>

according to the word <1697> of Elisha <0477>.




 19 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto them, This [is] not the

way <1870>, neither <3808> [is] this <2090> the city <5892>:

follow me, and I will bring <3212> you to the man <0376> whom

<0834> ye seek <1245>. But he led <3212> them to Samaria <8111>.




 20 And it came <1961> to pass, when they were come <0935> into

Samaria <8111>, that Elisha <0477> said <0559>, LORD <3068>,

open <6491> the eyes <5869> of these <0428> [men], that they may

see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened <6491> their eyes <5869>,

and they saw <7200>; and, behold <2009>, [they were] in the

midst <8432> of Samaria <8111>.




 21 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Elisha

<0477>, when he saw <7200> them, My father <1>, shall I smite

<5221> [them]? shall I smite <5221> [them]?




 22 And he answered <0559>, Thou shalt not smite <5221> [them]:

wouldest thou smite <5221> those whom <0834> thou hast taken

captive <7617> with thy sword <2719> and with thy bow <7198>?

set <7760> bread <3899> and water <4325> before <6440> them,

that they may eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and go <3212> to

their master <0113>.




 23 And he prepared <3739> great <1419> provision <3740> for

them: and when they had eaten <0398> and drunk <8354>, he sent

<7971> them away, and they went <3212> to their master <0113>.

So the bands <1416> of Syria <0758> came <0935> no <3808> more

into the land <0776> of Israel <3478>.




 24. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> this <3651>, that

Benhadad <1130> king <4428> of Syria <0758> gathered <6908> all

<3605> his host, and went <5927> up, and besieged <6696> Samaria

<8111>.




 25 And there was a great <1419> famine <7458> in Samaria <8111>:

 and, behold <2009>, they besieged <6696> it, until <5704> an

ass's <2543> head <7218> was [sold] for fourscore <8084>

[pieces] of silver <3701>, and the fourth <7255> part of a cab

<6894> of dove's <1686> dung <2755> for five <2568> [pieces] of

silver <3701>.




 26 And as the king <4428> of Israel <3478> was passing <5674>

by upon the wall <2346>, there cried <6817> a woman <0802> unto

him, saying <0559>, Help <3467>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>.




 27 And he said <0559>, If the LORD <3068> do not help <3467>

thee, whence <0370> shall I help <3467> thee? out of the

barnfloor <1637>, or <0176> out of the winepress <3342>?




 28 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> aileth

thee? And she answered <0559>, This <2063> woman <0802> said

<0559> unto me, Give <5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat

<0398> him to day <3117>, and we will eat <0398> my son <1121>

to morrow <4279>.




 29 So we boiled <1310> my son <1121>, and did eat <0398> him:

and I said <0559> unto her on the next <0312> day <3117>, Give

<5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat <0398> him: and she hath

hid <2244> her son <1121>.




 30 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> heard

<8085> the words <1697> of the woman <0802>, that he rent <7167>

his clothes <0899>; and he passed <5674> by upon the wall <2346>,

 and the people <5971> looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, [he

had] sackcloth <8242> within <1004> upon his flesh <1320>.




 31 Then he said <0559>, God <0430> do <6213> so <3541> and more

<3254> also <3541> to me, if <0518> the head <7218> of Elisha

<0477> the son <1121> of Shaphat <8202> shall stand <5975> on

<5921> him this day <3117>.




 32 But Elisha <0477> sat <3427> in his house <1004>, and the

elders <2205> sat <3427> with him; and [the king] sent <7971> a

man <0376> from before <6440> him: but ere <2962> the messenger

<4397> came <0935> to him, he said <0559> to the elders <2205>,

See <7200> ye how <3588> this son <1121> of a murderer <7523>

hath sent <7971> to take <5493> away mine head <7218>? look

<7200>, when the messenger <4397> cometh <0935>, shut <5462> the

door <1817>, and hold <3905> him fast at the door <1817>: [is]

not the sound <6963> of his master's <0113> feet <7272> behind

<0310> him?




 33 And while he yet <5750> talked <1696> with them, behold

<2009>, the messenger <4397> came <3381> down <3381> unto him:

and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, this <2063> evil <7451> [is]

of the LORD <3068>; what <4100> should I wait <3176> for the

LORD <3068> any longer <5750>?




2Kings 7




 1. Then Elisha <0477> said <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the word

<1697> of the LORD <3068>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD

<3068>, To morrow <4279> about this time <6256> [shall] a

measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> [be sold] for a shekel

<8255>, and two measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel

<8255>, in the gate <8179> of Samaria <8111>.




 2 Then a lord <7991> on <5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> the

king <4428> leaned <8172> answered <6030> the man <0376> of God

<0430>, and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, [if] the LORD <3068>

would make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven <8064>, might this

<2088> thing <1697> be? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, thou

shalt see <7200> [it] with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not eat

<0398> thereof.




 3. And there were four <0702> leprous <6879> men <0582> at the

entering <6607> in of the gate <8179>: and they said <0559> one

<0376> to another <7453>, Why <4100> sit <3427> we here <6311>

until <5704> we die <4191>?




 4 If <0518> we say <0559>, We will enter <0935> into the city

<5892>, then the famine <7458> [is] in the city <5892>, and we

shall die <4191> there <8033>: and if <0518> we sit <3427> still

here <6311>, we die <4191> also. Now <6258> therefore come

<3212>, and let us fall <5307> unto the host <4264> of the

Syrians <0758>: if <0518> they save <2421> us alive <2421>, we

shall live <2421>; and if <0518> they kill <4191> us, we shall

but die <4191>.




 5 And they rose <6965> up in the twilight <5399>, to go <0935>

unto the camp <4264> of the Syrians <0758>: and when they were

come <0935> to the uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264> of

Syria <0758>, behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man

<0376> there <8033>.




 6 For the Lord <0136> had made the host <4264> of the Syrians

<0758> to hear <8085> a noise <6963> of chariots <7393>, and a

noise <6963> of horses <5483>, [even] the noise <6963> of a

great <1419> host <2428>: and they said <0559> one <0376> to

another <0250>, Lo <2009>, the king <4428> of Israel <3478> hath

hired <7936> against <5921> us the kings <4428> of the Hittites

<2850>, and the kings <4428> of the Egyptians <4714>, to come

<0935> upon us.




 7 Wherefore they arose <6965> and fled <5127> in the twilight

<5399>, and left <5800> their tents <0168>, and their horses

<5483>, and their asses <2543>, even the camp <4264> as it [was],

 and fled <5127> for their life <5315>.




 8 And when <3588> these <0428> lepers <6879> came <0935> to the

uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264>, they went <0935> into

<0413> one <0259> tent <0168>, and did eat <0398> and drink

<8354>, and carried <5375> thence <8033> silver <3701>, and gold

<2091>, and raiment <0899>, and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it];

and came <7725> again <7725>, and entered <0935> into <0413>

another <0312> tent <0168>, and carried <5375> thence <8033>

[also], and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it].




 9 Then they said <0559> one <0376> to another <7453>, We do

<6213> not well <3651>: this <1931> day <3117> [is] a day <3117>

of good tidings <1309>, and we hold <2814> our peace <2814>: if

we tarry <2442> till <5704> the morning <1242> light <0216>,

some mischief <5771> will come <4672> upon us: now <6258>

therefore come <3212>, that we may go <0935> and tell <5046> the

king's <4428> household <1004>.




 10 So they came <0935> and called <7121> unto the porter <7778>

of the city <5892>: and they told <5046> them, saying <0559>, We

came <0935> to the camp <4264> of the Syrians <0758>, and,

behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man <0376> there

<8033>, neither <0369> voice <6963> of man <0120>, but horses

<5483> tied <0631>, and asses <2543> tied <0631>, and the tents

<0168> as they [were].




 11 And he called <7121> the porters <7778>; and they told

<5046> [it] to the king's <4428> house <1004> within <6441>.




 12. And the king <4428> arose <6965> in the night <3915>, and

said <0559> unto his servants <5650>, I will now <4994> shew

<5046> you what the Syrians <0758> have done <6213> to us. They

know <3045> that we [be] hungry <7456>; therefore are they gone

<3318> out of the camp <4264> to hide <2247> themselves in the

field <7704>, saying <0559>, When <3588> they come <3318> out of

the city <5892>, we shall catch <8610> them alive <2416>, and

get <0935> into <0413> the city <5892>.




 13 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> answered <6030> and

said <0559>, Let [some] take <3947>, I pray <4994> thee, five

<2568> of the horses <5483> that remain <7604>, which <0834> are

left <7604> in the city, (behold, they [are] as all <3605> the

multitude <1995> of Israel <3478> that are left <7604> in it:

behold <2009>, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605> the

multitude <1995> of the Israelites <3478> that are consumed

<8552>:) and let us send <7971> and see <7200>.




 14 They took <3947> therefore two <8147> chariot <7393> horses

<5483>; and the king <4428> sent <7971> after <0310> the host

<4264> of the Syrians <0758>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> and see

<7200>.




 15 And they went <3212> after <0310> them unto Jordan <3383>:

and, lo <2009>, all <3605> the way <1870> [was] full <4392> of

garments <0899> and vessels <3627>, which <0834> the Syrians

<0758> had cast <7993> away in their haste <2648>. And the

messengers <4397> returned <7725>, and told <5046> the king

<4428>.




 16 And the people <5971> went <3318> out, and spoiled <0962>

the tents <4264> of the Syrians <0758>. So a measure <5429> of

fine flour <5560> was [sold] for a shekel <8255>, and two

measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel <8255>, according

to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.




 17 And the king <4428> appointed <6485> the lord <7991> on

<5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> he leaned <8172> to have the

charge <5921> of the gate <8179>: and the people <5971> trode

<7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died <4191>, as the

man <0376> of God <0430> had said <1696>, who <0834> spake

<1696> when the king <4428> came <3381> down <3381> to him.




 18 And it came <1961> to pass as the man <0376> of God <0430>

had spoken <1696> to the king <4428>, saying <0559>, Two

measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel <8255>, and a

measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> for a shekel <8255>, shall

be to morrow <4279> about this time <6256> in the gate <8179> of

Samaria <8111>:




 19 And that lord <7991> answered <6030> the man <0376> of God

<0430>, and said <0559>, Now, behold <2009>, [if] the LORD

<3068> should make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven <8064>, might

such <2088> a thing <1697> be? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>,

 thou shalt see <7200> it with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not

eat <0398> thereof.




 20 And so <3651> it fell <1961> out unto him: for the people

<5971> trode <7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died

<4191>.




2Kings 8




 1. Then spake <1696> Elisha <0477> unto the woman <0802>, whose

<0834> son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421>, saying

<0559>, Arise <6965>, and go <3212> thou and thine household

<1004>, and sojourn <1481> wheresoever <0834> thou canst sojourn

<1481>: for the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> for a famine

<7458>; and it shall also <1571> come <0935> upon the land

<0776> seven <7651> years <8141>.




 2 And the woman <0802> arose <6965>, and did <6213> after the

saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and she went

<3212> with her household <1004>, and sojourned <1481> in the

land <0776> of the Philistines <6430> seven <7651> years <8141>.




 3 And it came <1961> to pass at the seven <7651> years <8141>'

end <7097>, that the woman <0802> returned <7725> out of the

land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>: and she went <3318> forth

<3318> to cry <6817> unto the king <4428> for her house <1004>

and for her land <7704>.




 4 And the king <4428> talked <1696> with Gehazi <1522> the

servant <5288> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, saying <0559>,

Tell <5608> me, I pray <4994> thee, all <3605> the great <1419>

things that Elisha <0477> hath done <6213>.




 5 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was telling <5608> the king

<4428> how <0834> he had restored <2421> a dead <4191> body to

life <2421>, that, behold <2009>, the woman <0802>, whose <0834>

son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421>, cried <6817>

to the king <4428> for her house <1004> and for her land <7704>.

And Gehazi <1522> said <0559>, My lord <0113>, O king <4428>,

this <2063> [is] the woman <0802>, and this <2088> [is] her son

<1121>, whom <0834> Elisha <0477> restored <2421> to life <2421>.




 6 And when the king <4428> asked <7592> the woman <0802>, she

told <5608> him. So the king <4428> appointed <5414> unto her a

certain <0259> officer <5631>, saying <0559>, Restore <7725> all

<3605> that [was] hers, and all <3605> the fruits <8393> of the

field <7704> since the day <3117> that she left <5800> the land

<0776>, even until <5704> now <6258>.




 7. And Elisha <0477> came <0935> to Damascus <1834>; and

Benhadad <1130> the king <4428> of Syria <0758> was sick <2470>;

and it was told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The man <0376> of God

<0430> is come <0935> hither <2008>.




 8 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto Hazael <2371>, Take

<3947> a present <4503> in thine hand <3027>, and go <3212>,

meet <7125> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and enquire <1875> of

the LORD <3068> by him, saying <0559>, Shall I recover <2421> of

this <2088> disease <2483>?




 9 So Hazael <2371> went <3212> to meet <7125> him, and took

<3947> a present <4503> with him, even of every <3605> good

<2898> thing of Damascus <1834>, forty <0705> camels <1581>'

burden <4853>, and came <0935> and stood <5975> before <6440>

him, and said <0559>, Thy son <1121> Benhadad <1130> king <4428>

of Syria <0758> hath sent <7971> me to thee, saying <0559>,

Shall I recover <2421> of this <2088> disease <2483>?




 10 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Go <3212>, say

<0559> unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover <2421>: howbeit

the LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that he shall surely die

<4191>.




 11 And he settled <5975> his countenance <6440> stedfastly

<7760>, until <5704> he was ashamed <0954>: and the man <0376>

of God <0430> wept <1058>.




 12 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, Why <4069> weepeth <1058> my

lord <0113>? And he answered <0559>, Because <3588> I know

<3045> the evil <7451> that thou wilt do <6213> unto the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>: their strong <4013> holds

<4013> wilt thou set <7971> on fire <0784>, and their young

<0970> men wilt thou slay <2026> with the sword <2719>, and wilt

dash <7376> their children <6768>, and rip <1234> up their women

with child <2030>.




 13 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, But what <4100>, [is] thy

servant <5650> a dog <3611>, that he should do <6213> this

<2088> great <1419> thing <1697>? And Elisha <0477> answered

<0559>, The LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that thou [shalt

be] king <4428> over <5921> Syria <0758>.




 14 So he departed <3212> from Elisha <0477>, and came <0935> to

his master <0113>; who <4310> said <0559> to him, What <4100>

said <0559> Elisha <0477> to thee? And he answered <0559>, He

told <0559> me [that] thou shouldest surely recover <2421>.




 15 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that he

took <3947> a thick cloth <4346>, and dipped <2881> [it] in

water <4325>, and spread <6566> [it] on <5921> his face <6440>,

so that he died <4191>: and Hazael <2371> reigned <4427> in his

stead <8478>.




 16. And in the fifth <2568> year <8141> of Joram <3141> the son

<1121> of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Jehoshaphat

<3092> [being] then king <4428> of Judah <3063>, Jehoram <3088>

the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>

began to reign <4427>.




 17 Thirty <7970> and two <8147> years <8141> old <1121> was he

when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> eight

<8083> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>.




 18 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428>

of Israel <3478>, as did <6213> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>:

for the daughter <1323> of Ahab <0256> was his wife <0802>: and

he did evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>.




 19 Yet the LORD <3068> would <14> not destroy <7843> Judah

<3063> for David <1732> his servant's <5650> sake <4616>, as he

promised <0559> him to give <5414> him alway a light <5216>,

[and] to his children <1121>.




 20 In his days <3117> Edom <0123> revolted <6586> from under

<8478> the hand <3027> of Judah <3063>, and made a king <4428>

over <5921> themselves <1992>.




 21 So Joram <3141> went <5674> over <5674> to Zair, and all

<3605> the chariots <7393> with him: and he rose <6965> by night

<3915>, and smote <5221> the Edomites <0130> which compassed

<5437> him about <0413>, and the captains <8269> of the chariots

<7393>: and the people <5971> fled <5127> into their tents

<0168>.




 22 Yet Edom <0123> revolted <6586> from under <8478> the hand

<3027> of Judah <3063> unto this day <3117>. Then <0227> Libnah

<3841> revolted <6586> at the same <1931> time <6256>.




 23 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joram <3141>, and

all <3605> that he did, [are] they not written <3789> in the

book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Judah <3063>?




 24 And Joram <3141> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was

buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David

<1732>: and Ahaziah <0274> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his

stead <8478>.




 25. In the twelfth year <8141> of Joram <3141> the son <1121>

of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478> did Ahaziah <0274>

the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king <4428> of Judah <3063>

begin to reign <4427>.




 26 Two <8147> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was]

Ahaziah <0274> when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned one

<0259> year <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>

name <8034> [was] Athaliah <6271>, the daughter <1323> of Omri

<6018> king <4428> of Israel <3478>.




 27 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the house <1004>

of Ahab <0256>, and did <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869>

of the LORD <3068>, as [did] the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>:

for he [was] the son <2860> in law <2859> of the house <1004> of

Ahab <0256>.




 28 And he went <3212> with Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab

<0256> to the war <4421> against <5973> Hazael <2371> king

<4428> of Syria <0758> in Ramothgilead <7433>; and the Syrians

<0761> wounded <5221> Joram <3141>.




 29 And king <4428> Joram <3141> went <7725> back <7725> to be

healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds <4347> which

<0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him at Ramah <7414>,

when he fought <3898> against Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria

<0758>. And Ahaziah <0274> the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king

<4428> of Judah <3063> went <3381> down <3381> to see <7200>

Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel <3157>,

because <3588> he was sick <2470>.




2Kings 9




 1. And Elisha <0477> the prophet <5030> called <7121> one

<0259> of the children <1121> of the prophets <5030>, and said

<0559> unto him, Gird <2296> up thy loins <4975>, and take

<3947> this <2088> box <6378> of oil <8081> in thine hand <3027>,

 and go <3212> to Ramothgilead <7433>:




 2 And when thou comest <0935> thither <8033>, look <7200> out

there <8033> Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092>

the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>, and go <0935> in, and make him

arise <6965> up from among <8432> his brethren <0251>, and carry

<0935> him to an inner <2315> chamber <2315>;




 3 Then take <3947> the box <6378> of oil <8081>, and pour

<3332> [it] on <5921> his head <7218>, and say <0559>, Thus

<3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee

king <4428> over <5921> Israel <3478>. Then open <6605> the door

<1817>, and flee <5127>, and tarry <2442> not.




 4 So the young <5288> man, [even] the young <5288> man <0376>

the prophet <5030>, went <3212> to Ramothgilead <7433>.




 5 And when <3588> he came <0935>, behold <2009>, the captains

<8269> of the host <2428> [were] sitting <3427>; and he said

<0559>, I have an errand <1697> to thee, O captain <8269>. And

Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Unto which <4310> of all <3605> us? And

he said <0559>, To thee, O captain <8269>.




 6 And he arose <6965>, and went <0935> into the house <1004>;

and he poured <3332> the oil <8081> on <0413> his head <7218>,

and said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD

<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, I have anointed <4886> thee

king <4428> over <0413> the people <5971> of the LORD <3068>,

[even] over <0413> Israel <3478>.




 7 And thou shalt smite <5221> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>

thy master <0113>, that I may avenge <5358> the blood <1818> of

my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, and the blood <1818> of

all <3605> the servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, at the hand

<3027> of Jezebel <0348>.




 8 For the whole <3605> house <1004> of Ahab <0256> shall perish

<6>: and I will cut <3772> off from Ahab <0256> him that pisseth

<8366> against the wall <7023>, and him that is shut <6113> up

and left in Israel <3478>:




 9 And I will make <5414> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> like

the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat

<5028>, and like the house <1004> of Baasha <1201> the son

<1121> of Ahijah <0281>:




 10 And the dogs <3611> shall eat <0398> Jezebel <0348> in the

portion <2506> of Jezreel <3157>, and [there shall be] none

<0369> to bury <6912> [her]. And he opened <6605> the door

<1817>, and fled <5127>.




 11. Then Jehu <3058> came <3318> forth <3318> to the servants

<5650> of his lord <0113>: and [one] said <0559> unto him, [Is]

all well <7965>? wherefore <4069> came <0935> this <2088> mad

<7696> [fellow] to thee? And he said <0559> unto them, Ye know

<3045> the man <0376>, and his communication <7879>.




 12 And they said <0559>, [It is] false <8267>; tell <5046> us

now <4994>. And he said <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063>

spake <0559> he to me, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559>

the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee king <4428> over

<0413> Israel <3478>.




 13 Then they hasted <4116>, and took <3947> every man <0376>

his garment <0899>, and put <7760> [it] under <8478> him on

<0413> the top <1634> of the stairs <4609>, and blew <8628> with

trumpets <7782>, saying <0559>, Jehu <3058> is king <4427>.




 14 So Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the son

<1121> of Nimshi <5250> conspired <7194> against <0413> Joram

<3141>. (Now Joram <3141> had kept <8104> Ramothgilead <7433>,

he and all <3605> Israel <3478>, because <6440> of Hazael <2371>

king <4428> of Syria <0758>.




 15 But king <4428> Joram <3188> was returned <7725> to be

healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds <4347> which

<0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him, when he fought

<3898> with Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>.) And Jehu

<3058> said <0559>, If <0518> it be your minds <5315>, [then]

let none <0408> go <3318> forth <3318> [nor] escape <6412> out

of the city <5892> to go <3212> to tell <5046> [it] in Jezreel

<3157>.




 16. So Jehu <3058> rode <7392> in a chariot, and went <3212> to

Jezreel <3157>; for Joram <3141> lay <7901> there <8033>. And

Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063> was come <3381> down

<3381> to see <7200> Joram <3141>.




 17 And there stood <5975> a watchman <6822> on <5921> the tower

<4026> in Jezreel <3157>, and he spied <7200> the company <8229>

of Jehu <3058> as he came <0935>, and said <0559>, I see <7200>

a company <8229>. And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Take <3947> an

horseman <7395>, and send <7971> to meet <7125> them, and let

him say <0559>, [Is it] peace <7965>?




 18 So there went <3212> one on horseback to meet <7125> him,

and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, [Is

it] peace <7965>? And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, What <4100> hast

thou to do with peace <7965>? turn <5437> thee behind <0310> me.

And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying <0559>, The

messenger <4397> came <0935> to them, but he cometh <7725> not

again <7725>.




 19 Then he sent <7971> out a second <8145> on horseback, which

came <0935> to them, and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559>

the king <4428>, [Is it] peace <7965>? And Jehu <3058> answered

<0559>, What <4100> hast thou to do with peace <7965>? turn

<5437> thee behind <0310> me.




 20 And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying <0559>, He came

<0935> even unto them, and cometh <7725> not again <7725>: and

the driving <4491> [is] like the driving <4491> of Jehu <3058>

the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>; for he driveth <5090> furiously

<7697>.




 21 And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Make ready <0631>. And his

chariot <7393> was made ready <0631>. And Joram <3188> king

<4428> of Israel <3478> and Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah

<3063> went <3318> out, each <0376> in his chariot <7393>, and

they went <3318> out against <7125> Jehu <3058>, and met <4672>

him in the portion <2513> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite <3158>.




 22 And it came <1961> to pass, when Joram <3188> saw <7200>

Jehu <3058>, that he said <0559>, [Is it] peace <7965>, Jehu

<3058>? And he answered <0559>, What <4100> peace <7965>, so

long <5704> as the whoredoms <2183> of thy mother <0517> Jezebel

<0348> and her witchcrafts <3785> [are so] many <7227>?




 23 And Joram <3188> turned <2015> his hands <3027>, and fled

<5127>, and said <0559> to Ahaziah <0274>, [There is] treachery

<4820>, O Ahaziah <0274>.




 24 And Jehu <3058> drew a bow <7198> with his full <4390>

strength <3027>, and smote <5221> Jehoram <3088> between <0996>

his arms <2220>, and the arrow <2678> went <3318> out at his

heart <3820>, and he sunk <3766> down in his chariot <7393>.




 25 Then said <0559> [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920> his captain <7991>,

Take <5375> up, [and] cast <7993> him in the portion <2513> of

the field <7704> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite <3158>: for

remember <2142> how that, when I and thou rode <7392> together

<6776> after <0310> Ahab <0256> his father <1>, the LORD <3068>

laid <5375> this <2088> burden <4853> upon him;




 26 Surely I have seen <7200> yesterday <0570> the blood <1818>

of Naboth <5022>, and the blood <1818> of his sons <1121>, saith

<0559> the LORD <3068>; and I will requite <7999> thee in this

<2063> plat <2513>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Now <6258>

therefore take <5375> [and] cast <7993> him into the plat <2513>

[of ground], according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.




 27 But when Ahaziah <0274> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> saw

<7200> [this], he fled <5127> by the way <1870> of the garden

<1588> house <1004>. And Jehu <3058> followed <7291> after

<0310> him, and said <0559>, Smite <5221> him also <1571> in the

chariot <4818>. [And they did so] at the going <4608> up to Gur

<1483>, which <0834> [is] by Ibleam <2991>. And he fled <5127>

to Megiddo <4023>, and died <4191> there <8033>.




 28 And his servants <5650> carried <7392> him in a chariot to

Jerusalem <3389>, and buried <6912> him in his sepulchre <6900>

with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>.




 29 And in the eleventh year <8141> of Joram <3188> the son

<1121> of Ahab <0256> began Ahaziah <0274> to reign <4427> over

<5921> Judah <3063>.




 30. And when Jehu <3058> was come <0935> to Jezreel <3157>,

Jezebel <0348> heard <8085> [of it]; and she painted her face

<5869>, and tired <3190> her head <7218>, and looked <8259> out

at <1157> a window <2474>.




 31 And as Jehu <3058> entered <0935> in at the gate <8179>, she

said <0559>, [Had] Zimri <2174> peace <7965>, who slew <2026>

his master <0113>?




 32 And he lifted <5375> up his face <6440> to the window <2474>,

 and said <0559>, Who <4310> [is] on <0854> my side? who <4310>?

And there looked <8259> out to him two <8147> [or] three <7969>

eunuchs <5631>.




 33 And he said <0559>, Throw <8058> her down <8058>. So they

threw <8058> her down <8058>: and [some] of her blood <1818> was

sprinkled <5137> on <0413> the wall <7023>, and on <0413> the

horses <5483>: and he trode <7429> her under foot.




 34 And when he was come <0935> in, he did eat <0398> and drink

<8354>, and said <0559>, Go <6485>, see now <4994> this <2063>

cursed <0779> [woman], and bury <6912> her: for she [is] a

king's <4428> daughter <1323>.




 35 And they went <3212> to bury <6912> her: but they found

<4672> no <3808> more of her than the skull <1538>, and the feet

<7272>, and the palms <3709> of [her] hands <3027>.




 36 Wherefore they came <7725> again <7725>, and told <5046> him.

 And he said <0559>, This <1931> [is] the word <1697> of the

LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant <5650>

Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <8664>, saying <0559>, In the portion

<2506> of Jezreel <3157> shall dogs <3611> eat <0398> the flesh

<1320> of Jezebel <0348>:




 37 And the carcase <5038> of Jezebel <0348> shall be as dung

<1828> upon the face <6440> of the field <7704> in the portion

<2506> of Jezreel <3157>; [so] that they shall not say <0559>,

This <2063> [is] Jezebel <0348>.




2Kings 10




 1. And Ahab <0256> had seventy <7657> sons <1121> in Samaria

<8111>. And Jehu <3058> wrote <3789> letters <5612>, and sent

<7971> to Samaria <8111>, unto the rulers <8269> of Jezreel

<3157>, to the elders <2205>, and to them that brought <0539> up

Ahab's <0256> [children], saying <0559>,




 2 Now <6258> as soon as this <2088> letter <5612> cometh <0935>

to you, seeing your master's <0113> sons <1121> [are] with you,

and [there are] with you chariots <7393> and horses <5483>, a

fenced <4013> city <5892> also, and armour <5402>;




 3 Look <7200> even out the best <2896> and meetest <3477> of

your master's <0113> sons <1121>, and set <7760> [him] on <5921>

his father's <1> throne <3678>, and fight <3898> for your

master's <0113> house <1004>.




 4 But they were exceedingly <3966> afraid <3372>, and said

<0559>, Behold <2009>, two <8147> kings <4428> stood <5975> not

before <6440> him: how <0349> then shall we stand <5975>?




 5 And he that [was] over <5921> the house <1004>, and he that

[was] over <5921> the city <5892>, the elders <2205> also, and

the bringers <0539> up [of the children], sent <7971> to Jehu

<3058>, saying <0559>, We [are] thy servants <5650>, and will do

<6213> all <3605> that thou shalt bid <0559> us; we will not

make any <0376> king <4427>: do <6213> thou [that which is] good

<2896> in thine eyes <5869>.




 6 Then he wrote <3789> a letter <5612> the second <8145> time

to them, saying <0559>, If <0518> ye [be] mine, and [if <0518>]

ye will hearken <8085> unto my voice <6963>, take <3947> ye the

heads <7218> of the men <0582> your master's <0113> sons <1121>,

and come <0935> to me to Jezreel <3157> by to morrow <4279> this

time <6256>. Now the king's <4428> sons <1121>, [being] seventy

<7657> persons <0376>, [were] with the great <1419> men of the

city <5892>, which brought <1431> them up.




 7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the letter <5612> came

<0935> to them, that they took <3947> the king's <4428> sons

<1121>, and slew <7819> seventy <7657> persons <0376>, and put

<7760> their heads <7218> in baskets <1731>, and sent <7971> him

[them] to Jezreel <3157>.




 8 And there came <0935> a messenger <4397>, and told <5046> him,

 saying <0559>, They have brought <0935> the heads <7218> of the

king's <4428> sons <1121>. And he said <0559>, Lay <7760> ye

them in two <8147> heaps <6632> at the entering <6607> in of the

gate <8179> until <5704> the morning <1242>.




 9 And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, that he

went <3318> out, and stood <5975>, and said <0559> to all <3605>

the people <5971>, Ye [be] righteous <6662>: behold <2009>, I

conspired <7194> against <5921> my master <0113>, and slew

<2026> him: but who <4310> slew <5221> all <3605> these <0428>?




 10 Know <3045> now <0645> that there shall fall <5307> unto the

earth <0776> nothing <3808> of the word <1697> of the LORD

<3068>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> spake <1696> concerning

<5921> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>: for the LORD <3068> hath

done <6213> [that] which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant

<5650> Elijah <0452>.




 11 So Jehu <3058> slew <5221> all <3605> that remained <7604>

of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel <3157>, and all

<3605> his great <1419> men, and his kinsfolks <3045>, and his

priests <3548>, until <5704> he left <7604> him none <1115>

remaining <8300>.




 12 And he arose <6965> and departed <0935>, and came <1980> to

Samaria <8111>. [And] as he [was] at the shearing house <1004>

in the way <1870>,




 13 Jehu <3058> met <4672> with the brethren <0251> of Ahaziah

<0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and said <0559>, Who <4310>

[are] ye? And they answered <0559>, We [are] the brethren <0251>

of Ahaziah <0274>; and we go <3381> down <3381> to salute <7965>

the children <1121> of the king <4428> and the children <1121>

of the queen <1377>.




 14 And he said <0559>, Take <8610> them alive <2416>. And they

took <8610> them alive <2416>, and slew <7819> them at the pit

<0953> of the shearing <1044> house <1004>, [even] two <8147>

and forty <0705> men <0376>; neither <3808> left <7604> he any

<0376> of them.




 15. And when he was departed <3212> thence <8033>, he lighted

<4672> on <0854> Jehonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab

<7394> [coming] to meet <7125> him: and he saluted <1288> him,

and said <0559> to him, Is thine heart <3824> right <3225>, as

my heart <3824> [is] with thy heart <3824>? And Jehonadab <3082>

answered <0559>, It is. If it be, give <5414> [me] thine hand

<3027>. And he gave <5414> [him] his hand <3027>; and he took

<5927> him up to him into <0413> the chariot <4818>.




 16 And he said <0559>, Come <3212> with me, and see <7200> my

zeal <7068> for the LORD <3068>. So they made him ride <7392> in

his chariot <7393>.




 17 And when he came <0935> to Samaria <8111>, he slew <5221>

all <3605> that remained <7604> unto Ahab <0256> in Samaria

<8111>, till <5704> he had destroyed <8045> him, according to

the saying <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake

<1696> to Elijah <0452>.




 18 And Jehu <3058> gathered <6908> all <3605> the people <5971>

together, and said <0559> unto them, Ahab <0256> served <5647>

Baal <1168> a little <4592>; [but] Jehu <3058> shall serve

<5647> him much <7235>.




 19 Now <6258> therefore call <7121> unto me all <3605> the

prophets <5030> of Baal <1168>, all <3605> his servants <5647>,

and all <3605> his priests <3548>; let none be wanting <6485>:

for I have a great <1419> sacrifice <2077> [to do] to Baal

<1168>; whosoever shall be wanting <6485>, he shall not live

<2421>. But Jehu <3058> did <6213> [it] in subtilty <6122>, to

the intent <4616> that he might destroy <6> the worshippers

<5647> of Baal <1168>.




 20 And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Proclaim <6942> a solemn <6116>

assembly <6116> for Baal <1168>. And they proclaimed <7121> [it].




 21 And Jehu <3058> sent <7971> through all <3605> Israel <3478>:

 and all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> came

<0935>, so that there was not a man <0376> left <7604> that came

<0935> not. And they came <0935> into the house <1004> of Baal

<1168>; and the house <1004> of Baal <1168> was full <4390> from

one end <6310> to another.




 22 And he said <0559> unto him that [was] over <5921> the

vestry <4458>, Bring <3318> forth <3318> vestments <3830> for

all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>. And he brought

<3318> them forth <3318> vestments <4403>.




 23 And Jehu <3058> went <0935>, and Jehonadab <3082> the son

<1121> of Rechab <7394>, into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>,

and said <0559> unto the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>,

Search <2664>, and look <7200> that there be here <6311> with

you none of the servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, but the

worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> only <0905>.




 24 And when <3588> they went <0935> in to offer <6213>

sacrifices <2077> and burnt <5930> offerings, Jehu <3058>

appointed <7760> fourscore <8084> men <0376> without <2351>, and

said <0559>, [If] any of the men <0582> whom <0834> I have

brought <0935> into <5921> your hands <3027> escape <4422>, [he

that letteth him go], his life <2421> [shall be] for the life

<5315> of him.




 25 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon as he had made an end

<3615> of offering <6213> the burnt <5930> offering, that Jehu

<3058> said <0559> to the guard <7323> and to the captains

<7991>, Go <0935> in, [and] slay <5221> them; let none <0408>

come <3381> forth <3318>. And they smote <5221> them with the

edge <6310> of the sword <2719>; and the guard <7323> and the

captains <7991> cast <7993> [them] out, and went <3212> to the

city <5892> of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>.




 26 And they brought <3318> forth <3318> the images <4676> out

of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and burned <8313> them.




 27 And they brake <5422> down <5422> the image <4676> of Baal

<1168>, and brake <5422> down <5422> the house <1004> of Baal

<1168>, and made <7760> it a draught <4280> house unto this

<2088> day <3117>.




 28 Thus <3541> Jehu <3058> destroyed <8045> Baal <1168> out of

Israel <3478>.




 29. Howbeit [from] the sins <2399> of Jeroboam <3379> the son

<1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin

<2398>, Jehu <3058> departed <5493> not from after <0310> them,

[to wit], the golden <2091> calves <5695> that [were] in Bethel

<1008>, and that [were] in Dan <1835>.




 30 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Jehu <3058>, Because

thou hast done well <2895> in executing <6213> [that which is]

right <3225> in mine eyes <5869>, [and] hast done <6213> unto

the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> according to all <3605> that

[was] in mine heart <3824>, thy children <1121> of the fourth

<7243> [generation] shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678>

of Israel <3478>.




 31 But Jehu <3058> took no <3808> heed <8104> to walk <3212> in

the law <8451> of the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>

with all <3605> his heart <3824>: for he departed <5493> not

from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379>, which <0834> made

Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.




 32 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to

cut <7096> Israel <3478> short: and Hazael <2371> smote <5221>

them in all <3605> the coasts <1366> of Israel <3478>;




 33 From Jordan <3383> eastward, all <3605> the land <0776> of

Gilead <1568>, the Gadites <1425>, and the Reubenites <7206>,

and the Manassites <4520>, from Aroer <6177>, which <0834> [is]

by the river <5158> Arnon <0769>, even Gilead <1568> and Bashan

<1316>.




 34 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehu <3058>, and

all <3605> that he did <6213>, and all <3605> his might <1369>,

[are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the

chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>?




 35 And Jehu <3058> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>: and they

buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>. And Jehoahaz <3059> his son

<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.




 36 And the time <3117> that Jehu <3058> reigned <4427> over

<5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> [was] twenty <6242> and

eight <8083> years <8141>.




2Kings 11




 1. And when Athaliah <6271> the mother <0517> of Ahaziah <0274>

saw <7200> that her son <1121> was dead <4191>, she arose <6965>

and destroyed <6> all <3605> the seed <2233> royal <4467>.




 2 But Jehosheba <3089>, the daughter <1323> of king <4428>

Joram <3141>, sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274>, took <3947> Joash

<3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <1589> him

from among <8432> the king's <4428> sons <1121> [which were]

slain <4191>; and they hid <5641> him, [even] him and his nurse

<3243>, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271>, so that he was

not slain <4191>.




 3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068> six <8337> years <8141>. And Athaliah <6271> did

reign <4427> over <5921> the land <0776>.




 4. And the seventh <7637> year <8141> Jehoiada <3111> sent

<7971> and fetched <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>,

 with the captains <3746> and the guard <7323>, and brought

<0935> them to him into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and

made <3772> a covenant <1285> with them, and took an oath <7650>

of them in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and shewed

<7200> them the king's <4428> son <1121>.




 5 And he commanded <6680> them, saying <0559>, This <2088> [is]

the thing <1697> that ye shall do <6213>; A third <7992> part of

you that enter <0935> in on the sabbath <7676> shall even be

keepers <8104> of the watch <4931> of the king's <4428> house

<1004>;




 6 And a third <7992> part [shall be] at the gate <8179> of Sur

<5495>; and a third <7992> part at the gate <8179> behind <0310>

the guard <7323>: so shall ye keep <8104> the watch <4931> of

the house <1004>, that it be not broken <4535> down <4535>.




 7 And two <8147> parts <3027> of all <3605> you that go <3318>

forth <3318> on the sabbath <7676>, even they shall keep <8104>

the watch <4931> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> about

<0413> the king <4428>.




 8 And ye shall compass <5362> the king <4428> round <5439>

about, every man <0376> with his weapons <3627> in his hand

<3027>: and he that cometh <0935> within the ranges <7713>, let

him be slain <4191>: and be ye with the king <4428> as he goeth

<3318> out and as he cometh <0935> in.




 9 And the captains <8269> over the hundreds <3967> did <6213>

according to all <3605> [things] that Jehoiada <3111> the priest

<3548> commanded <6680>: and they took <3947> every man <0376>

his men <0582> that were to come <0935> in on the sabbath <7676>,

 with them that should go <3318> out on the sabbath <7676>, and

came <0935> to Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>.




 10 And to the captains <8269> over hundreds <3967> did the

priest <3548> give <5414> king <4428> David's <1732> spears

<2595> and shields <7982>, that [were] in the temple <1004> of

the LORD <3068>.




 11 And the guard <7323> stood <5975>, every man <0376> with his

weapons <3627> in his hand <3027>, round <5439> about <5921> the

king <4428>, from the right <3233> corner <3802> of the temple

<1004> to the left <8042> corner <3802> of the temple <1004>,

[along] by the altar <4196> and the temple <1004>.




 12 And he brought <3318> forth <3318> the king's <4428> son

<1121>, and put <5414> the crown <5145> upon him, and [gave him]

the testimony <5715>; and they made him king <4427>, and

anointed <4886> him; and they clapped <5221> their hands <3709>,

and said <0559>, God save <2421> the king <4428>.




 13. And when Athaliah <6271> heard <8085> the noise <6963> of

the guard <7323> [and] of the people <5971>, she came <0935> to

the people <5971> into the temple <1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 14 And when she looked <7200>, behold <2009>, the king <4428>

stood <5975> by a pillar <5982>, as the manner <4941> [was], and

the princes <8269> and the trumpeters <2689> by the king <4428>,

and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> rejoiced

<8056>, and blew <8628> with trumpets: and Athaliah <6271> rent

<7167> her clothes <0899>, and cried <7121>, Treason <7195>,

Treason <7195>.




 15 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> commanded <6680> the

captains <8269> of the hundreds <3967>, the officers <6485> of

the host <2428>, and said <0559> unto them, Have <3318> her

forth <3318> without the ranges <7713>: and him that followeth

her kill <4191> with the sword <2719>. For the priest <3548> had

said <0559>, Let her not be slain <4191> in the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068>.




 16 And they laid <7760> hands <3027> on her; and she went

<0935> by the way <1870> by the which the horses <5483> came

<3996> into the king's <4428> house <1004>: and there <8033> was

she slain <4191>.




 17. And Jehoiada <3111> made <3772> a covenant <1285> between

<0996> the LORD <3068> and the king <4428> and the people <5971>,

 that they should be the LORD'S <3068> people <5971>; between

<0996> the king <4428> also and the people <5971>.




 18 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> went

<0935> into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and brake <5422> it

down <5422>; his altars <4196> and his images <6754> brake

<7665> they in pieces thoroughly <3190>, and slew <2026> Mattan

<4977> the priest <3548> of Baal <1168> before <6440> the altars

<4196>. And the priest <3548> appointed <7760> officers <6486>

over <5921> the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 19 And he took <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>,

and the captains <3746>, and the guard <7323>, and all <3605>

the people <5971> of the land <0776>; and they brought <3381>

down <3381> the king <4428> from the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068>, and came <0935> by the way <1870> of the gate <8179> of

the guard <7323> to the king's <4428> house <1004>. And he sat

<3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of the kings <4428>.




 20 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> rejoiced

<8055>, and the city <5892> was in quiet <8252>: and they slew

<4191> Athaliah <6271> with the sword <2719> [beside] the king's

<4428> house <1004>.




 21 Seven <7651> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Jehoash <3060>

when he began to reign <4427>.




2Kings 12




 1. In the seventh <7651> year <8141> of Jehu <3058> Jehoash

<3060> began to reign <4427>; and forty <0705> years <8141>

reigned <4427> he in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>

name <8034> [was] Zibiah <6645> of Beersheba <0884>.




 2 And Jehoash <3060> did <6213> [that which was] right <3477>

in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> all <3605> his days

<3117> wherein <0834> Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>

instructed <3384> him.




 3 But the high <1116> places were not taken <5493> away <5493>:

the people <5971> still <5750> sacrificed <2076> and burnt

<6999> incense <6999> in the high <1116> places.




 4. And Jehoash <3060> said <0559> to the priests <3548>, All

<3605> the money <3701> of the dedicated <6944> things that is

brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, [even]

the money <3701> of every <3605> one that passeth <5674> [the

account], the money <3701> that every man <5315> is set <6187>

at, [and] all <3605> the money <3701> that cometh <5927> into

<5921> any man's <0376> heart <3820> to bring <0935> into the

house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,




 5 Let the priests <3548> take <3947> [it] to them, every man

<0376> of his acquaintance <4378>: and let them repair <2388>

the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>, wheresoever any <0376>

breach <0919> shall be found <4672>.




 6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969> and twentieth

<6242> year <8141> of king <4428> Jehoash <3060> the priests

<3548> had not repaired <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house

<1004>.




 7 Then king <4428> Jehoash <3060> called <7121> for Jehoiada

<3111> the priest <3548>, and the [other] priests <3548>, and

said <0559> unto them, Why <4069> repair <2388> ye not the

breaches <0919> of the house <1004>? now <6258> therefore

receive <3947> no <0408> [more] money <3701> of your

acquaintance <4378>, but deliver <5414> it for the breaches

<0919> of the house <1004>.




 8 And the priests <3548> consented <0225> to receive <3947> no

<1115> [more] money <3701> of the people <5971>, neither <1115>

to repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>.




 9 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> took <3947> a chest

<0727>, and bored <5344> a hole <2356> in the lid <1817> of it,

and set <5414> it beside <0681> the altar <4196>, on the right

<3225> side <3225> as one <0376> cometh <0935> into the house

<1004> of the LORD <3068>: and the priests <3548> that kept

<8104> the door <5592> put <5414> therein <8033> all <3605> the

money <3701> [that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068>.




 10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200> that [there was] much

<7225> money <3701> in the chest <0727>, that the king's <4428>

scribe <5608> and the high <1419> priest <3548> came <5927> up,

and they put <6695> up in bags <6696>, and told <4487> the money

<3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068>.




 11 And they gave <5414> the money <3701>, being told <8505>,

into <5921> the hands <3027> of them that did <6213> the work

<4399>, that had the oversight <6485> of the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068>: and they laid <3318> it out to the carpenters

<6086> and builders <1129>, that wrought <6213> upon the house

<1004> of the LORD <3068>,




 12 And to masons <1443>, and hewers <2672> of stone <68>, and

to buy <7069> timber <6086> and hewed <4274> stone <68> to

repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068>, and for all <3605> that was laid <3318> out for the

house <1004> to repair <2393> [it].




 13 Howbeit there were not made <6213> for the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068> bowls <5592> of silver <3701>, snuffers <4212>,

basons <4219>, trumpets <2689>, any vessels <3627> of gold

<2091>, or vessels <3627> of silver <3701>, of the money <3701>

[that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068>:




 14 But they gave <5414> that to the workmen, and repaired

<2388> therewith the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 15 Moreover they reckoned <2803> not with the men <0582>, into

<5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> they delivered <5414> the money

<3701> to be bestowed <5414> on workmen: for they dealt <6213>

faithfully <0530>.




 16 The trespass <0817> money <3701> and sin money <3701> was

not brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: it

was the priests <3548>'.




 17. Then <0227> Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> went

<5927> up, and fought <3898> against <5921> Gath <1661>, and

took <3920> it: and Hazael <2371> set <7760> his face <6440> to

go <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389>.




 18 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Judah <3063> took <3947>

all <3605> the hallowed <6944> things that Jehoshaphat <3092>,

and Jehoram <3088>, and Ahaziah <0274>, his fathers <1>, kings

<4428> of Judah <3063>, had dedicated <6942>, and his own

hallowed <6944> things, and all <3605> the gold <2091> [that

was] found <4672> in the treasures <0214> of the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068>, and in the king's <4428> house <1004>, and sent

<7971> [it] to Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>: and he

went <5927> away from Jerusalem <3389>.




 19 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and

all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in

the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Judah <3063>?




 20 And his servants <5650> arose <6965>, and made a conspiracy

<7195>, and slew <5221> Joash <3101> in the house <1004> of

Millo <4407>, which goeth <3381> down <3381> to Silla <5538>.




 21 For Jozachar <3108> the son <1121> of Shimeath <8100>, and

Jehozabad <3075> the son <1121> of Shomer <7763>, his servants

<5650>, smote <5221> him, and he died <4191>; and they buried

<6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David

<1732>: and Amaziah <0558> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his

stead <8478>.




2Kings 13




 1. In the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year <8141> of

Joash <3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of

Judah <3063> Jehoahaz <3059> the son <1121> of Jehu <3058> began

to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>,

[and reigned] seventeen <7651> years <8141>.




 2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, and followed the sins <2403> of

Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which made

Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed <5493> not therefrom.




 3 And the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> was kindled <2734>

against Israel <3478>, and he delivered <5414> them into the

hand <3027> of Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>, and

into the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130> the son <1121> of Hazael

<2371>, all <3605> [their] days <3117>.




 4 And Jehoahaz <3059> besought <2470> the LORD <3068>, and the

LORD <3068> hearkened <8085> unto him: for he saw <7200> the

oppression <3906> of Israel <3478>, because <3588> the king

<4428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <3905> them.




 5 (And the LORD <3068> gave <5414> Israel <3478> a saviour

<3467>, so that they went <3318> out from under <8478> the hand

<3027> of the Syrians <0758>: and the children <1121> of Israel

<3478> dwelt <3427> in their tents <0168>, as beforetime <6440>.




 6 Nevertheless <0389> they departed <5493> not from the sins

<2403> of the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379>, who <0834> made

Israel <3478> sin <2398>, [but] walked <1980> therein: and there

remained <5975> the grove <0842> also <1571> in Samaria <8111>.)




 7 Neither <3808> did he leave <7604> of the people <5971> to

Jehoahaz <3059> but fifty <2572> horsemen <6571>, and ten <6235>

chariots <7393>, and ten <6235> thousand <0505> footmen <7273>;

for the king <4428> of Syria <0758> had destroyed <6> them, and

had made <7760> them like the dust <6083> by threshing <1758>.




 8 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoahaz <3059>,

and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, [are]

they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles

<1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>?




 9 And Jehoahaz <3059> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and

they buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>: and Joash <3101> his

son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.




 10. In the thirty <7970> and seventh <7651> year <8141> of

Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Jehoash <3060>

the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> to reign <4427> over <5921>

Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] sixteen years

<8141>.




 11 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>; he departed <5493> not from all

<3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of

Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> sin <2398>: [but] he

walked <1980> therein.




 12 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and

all <3605> that he did, and his might <1369> wherewith <0834> he

fought <3898> against <5973> Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah

<3063>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the

chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>?




 13 And Joash <3101> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and

Jeroboam <3379> sat <3427> upon his throne <3678>: and Joash

<3101> was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428>

of Israel <3478>.




 14 Now Elisha <0477> was fallen sick <2470> of his sickness

<2483> whereof <0834> he died <4191>. And Joash <3101> the king

<4428> of Israel <3478> came <3381> down <3381> unto him, and

wept <1058> over <5921> his face <6440>, and said <0559>, O my

father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>,

and the horsemen <6571> thereof.




 15 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Take <3947> bow

<7198> and arrows <2671>. And he took <3947> unto him bow <7198>

and arrows <2671>.




 16 And he said <0559> to the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Put

<7392> thine hand <3027> upon the bow <7198>. And he put <7760>

his hand <3027> [upon it]: and Elisha <0477> put <7760> his

hands <3027> upon the king's <4428> hands <3027>.




 17 And he said <0559>, Open <6605> the window <2474> eastward

<6924>. And he opened <6605> [it]. Then Elisha <0477> said

<0559>, Shoot <3384>. And he shot <3384>. And he said <0559>,

The arrow <2671> of the LORD'S <3068> deliverance <8668>, and

the arrow <2671> of deliverance <8668> from Syria <0758>: for

thou shalt smite <5221> the Syrians <0758> in Aphek <0663>, till

<5704> thou have consumed <3615> [them].




 18 And he said <0559>, Take <3947> the arrows <2671>. And he

took <3947> [them]. And he said <0559> unto the king <4428> of

Israel <3478>, Smite <5221> upon the ground <0776>. And he smote

<5221> thrice, and stayed <5975>.




 19 And the man <0376> of God <0430> was wroth <7107> with him,

and said <0559>, Thou shouldest have smitten <5221> five <2568>

or <0176> six <8337> times <6471>; then <0227> hadst thou

smitten <5221> Syria <0758> till <5704> thou hadst consumed

<3615> [it]: whereas <6258> now <6258> thou shalt smite <5221>

Syria <0758> [but] thrice.




 20. And Elisha <0477> died <4191>, and they buried <6912> him.

And the bands <1416> of the Moabites <4124> invaded <0935> the

land <0776> at the coming <0935> in of the year <8141>.




 21 And it came <1961> to pass, as they were burying <6912> a

man <0376>, that, behold <2009>, they spied <7200> a band <1416>

[of men]; and they cast <7993> the man <0376> into the sepulchre

<6913> of Elisha <0477>: and when the man <0376> was let <3212>

down <3212>, and touched <5060> the bones <6106> of Elisha

<0477>, he revived <2421>, and stood <6965> up on <5921> his

feet <7272>.




 22 But Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> oppressed

<3905> Israel <3478> all <3605> the days <3117> of Jehoahaz

<3059>.




 23 And the LORD <3068> was gracious <2603> unto them, and had

compassion <7355> on them, and had respect <6437> unto them,

because <4616> of his covenant <1285> with Abraham <85>, Isaac

<3327>, and Jacob <3290>, and would <14> not destroy <7843> them,

 neither <3808> cast <7993> he them from his presence <6440> as

yet.




 24 So Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> died <4191>;

and Benhadad <1130> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead

<8478>.




 25 And Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> took

<3947> again <7725> out of the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130>

the son <1121> of Hazael <2371> the cities <5892>, which <0834>

he had taken <3947> out of the hand <3027> of Jehoahaz <3059>

his father <1> by war <4421>. Three <7969> times <6471> did

Joash <3101> beat <5221> him, and recovered <7725> the cities

<5892> of Israel <3478>.




2Kings 14




 1. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Joash <3101> son <1121>

of Jehoahaz <3059> king <4428> of Israel <3478> reigned <4427>

Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of

Judah <3063>.




 2 He was twenty <6242> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121>

when he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> twenty <6242>

and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his

mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Jehoaddan <3086> of Jerusalem

<3389>.




 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, yet <7535> not like David <1732> his

father <1>: he did <6213> according to all <3605> things as

Joash <3101> his father <1> did <6213>.




 4 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not taken <5493> away

<5493>: as yet <5750> the people <5971> did sacrifice <2076> and

burnt <6999> incense <6999> on the high <1116> places.




 5 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon <0834> as the kingdom

<4467> was confirmed <2388> in his hand <3027>, that he slew

<5221> his servants <5650> which <0834> had slain <5221> the

king <4428> his father <1>.




 6 But the children <1121> of the murderers <5221> he slew

<4191> not: according unto that which is written <3789> in the

book <5612> of the law <8451> of Moses <4872>, wherein <0834>

the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, saying <0559>, The fathers <1>

shall not be put <4191> to death <4191> for the children <1121>,

nor <3808> the children <1121> be put <4191> to death <4191> for

the fathers <1>; but every man <0376> shall be put <4191> to

death <4191> for his own sin <2399>.




 7 He slew <5221> of Edom <0123> in the valley <1516> of salt

<4417> ten <6235> thousand <0505>, and took <8610> Selah <5554>

by war <4421>, and called <7121> the name <8034> of it Joktheel

<3371> unto this <2088> day <3117>.




 8. Then <0227> Amaziah <0558> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to

Jehoash <3060>, the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> son <1121> of

Jehu <3058>, king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Come

<3212>, let us look <7200> one another in the face <6440>.




 9 And Jehoash <3060> the king <4428> of Israel <3478> sent

<7971> to Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying

<0559>, The thistle <2336> that [was] in Lebanon <3844> sent

<7971> to the cedar <0730> that [was] in Lebanon <3844>, saying

<0559>, Give <5414> thy daughter <1323> to my son <1121> to wife

<0802>: and there passed <5674> by a wild <7704> beast <2416>

that [was] in Lebanon <3844>, and trode <7429> down the thistle

<2336>.




 10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221> Edom <0123>, and thine heart

<3820> hath lifted <5375> thee up: glory <3513> [of this], and

tarry <3427> at home <1004>: for why shouldest thou meddle

<1624> to [thy] hurt <7451>, that thou shouldest fall <5307>,

[even] thou, and Judah <3063> with thee?




 11 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <8085>. Therefore Jehoash

<3060> king <4428> of Israel <3478> went <5927> up; and he and

Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063> looked <7200> one

another in the face <6440> at Bethshemesh <1053>, which <0834>

[belongeth] to Judah <3063>.




 12 And Judah <3063> was put to the worse <5062> before <6440>

Israel <3478>; and they fled <5127> every man <0376> to their

tents <0168>.




 13 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Israel <3478> took <8610>

Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, the son <1121> of

Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, at Bethshemesh

<1053>, and came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>, and brake <6555>

down the wall <2346> of Jerusalem <3389> from the gate <8179> of

Ephraim <0669> unto the corner <6438> gate <8179>, four <0702>

hundred <3967> cubits <0520>.




 14 And he took <3947> all <3605> the gold <2091> and silver

<3701>, and all <3605> the vessels <3627> that were found <4672>

in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the treasures

<0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>, and hostages, and

returned <7725> to Samaria <8111>.




 15. Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoash <3060>

which <0834> he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, and how <0834>

he fought <3898> with Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>,

 [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the

chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>?




 16 And Jehoash <3060> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and

was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428> of

Israel <3478>; and Jeroboam <3379> his son <1121> reigned <4427>

in his stead <8478>.




 17 And Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king

<4428> of Judah <3063> lived <2421> after <0310> the death

<4194> of Jehoash <3060> son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> king

<4428> of Israel <3478> fifteen <6240> years <8141>.




 18 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Amaziah <0558>,

[are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the

chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>?




 19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195> against <5921> him in

Jerusalem <3389>: and he fled <5127> to Lachish <3923>; but they

sent <7971> after <0310> him to Lachish <3923>, and slew <4191>

him there <8033>.




 20 And they brought <5375> him on <5921> horses <5483>: and he

was buried <6912> at Jerusalem <3389> with his fathers <1> in

the city <5892> of David <1732>.




 21 And all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063> took <3947>

Azariah <5838>, which <1931> [was] sixteen years <8141> old

<1121>, and made him king <4427> instead <8478> of his father

<1> Amaziah <0558>.




 22 He built <1129> Elath <0359>, and restored <7725> it to

Judah <3063>, after <0310> that the king <4428> slept <7901>

with his fathers <1>.




 23. In the fifteenth <6240> year <8141> of Amaziah <0558> the

son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Jeroboam

<3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Israel

<3478> began to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned]

forty <0705> and one <0259> years <8141>.




 24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from all

<3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of

Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.




 25 He restored <7725> the coast <1366> of Israel <3478> from

the entering <0935> of Hamath <2574> unto the sea <3220> of the

plain <6160>, according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>

God <0430> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by the

hand <3027> of his servant <5650> Jonah <3124>, the son <1121>

of Amittai <0573>, the prophet <5030>, which <0834> [was] of

Gathhepher <1662>.




 26 For the LORD <3068> saw <7200> the affliction <6040> of

Israel <3478>, [that it was] very <3966> bitter <4784>: for

[there was] not any shut <6113> up, nor <0369> any left <5800>,

nor <0369> any helper <5826> for Israel <3478>.




 27 And the LORD <3068> said <1696> not that he would blot

<4229> out the name <8034> of Israel <3478> from under <8478>

heaven <8064>: but he saved <3467> them by the hand <3027> of

Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101>.




 28 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jeroboam <3379>,

and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, how

<0834> he warred <3898>, and how <0834> he recovered <7725>

Damascus <1834>, and Hamath <2574>, [which belonged] to Judah

<3063>, for Israel <3478>, are they not written <3789> in the

book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Israel <3478>?




 29 And Jeroboam <3379> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>,

[even] with the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>; and Zachariah

<2148> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.




2Kings 15




 1. In the twenty <6242> and seventh <7651> year <8141> of

Jeroboam <3379> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began Azariah

<5838> son <1121> of Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>

to reign <4427>.




 2 Sixteen years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign

<4427>, and he reigned <4427> two <8147> and fifty <2572> years

<8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034>

[was] Jecholiah <3203> of Jerusalem <3389>.




 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all <3605> that his

father <1> Amaziah <0558> had done <6213>;




 4 Save <7535> that the high <1116> places were not removed

<5493>: the people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999>

incense <6999> still <5750> on the high <1116> places.




 5 And the LORD <3068> smote <5221> the king <4428>, so that he

was a leper <6879> unto the day <3117> of his death <4194>, and

dwelt <3427> in a several <2669> house <1004>. And Jotham <3147>

the king's <4428> son <1121> [was] over <5921> the house <1004>,

judging <8199> the people <5971> of the land <0776>.




 6 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Azariah <5838>, and

all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in

the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Judah <3063>?




 7 So Azariah <5838> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and they

buried <6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of

David <1732>: and Jotham <3147> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in

his stead <8478>.




 8. In the thirty <7970> and eighth <8083> year <8141> of

Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> did Zachariah <2148>

the son <1121> of Jeroboam <3379> reign <4427> over <5921>

Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> six <8337> months <2320>.




 9 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, as his fathers <1> had done <6213>:

he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379>

the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to

sin <2398>.




 10 And Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> conspired

<7194> against <5921> him, and smote <5221> him before <6905>

the people <5971>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in

his stead <8478>.




 11 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Zachariah <2148>,

behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of

the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.




 12 This <1931> [was] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which

<0834> he spake <1696> unto Jehu <3058>, saying <0559>, Thy sons

<1121> shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of Israel

<3478> unto the fourth <7243> [generation]. And so <3651> it

came <1961> to pass.




 13 Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> began to

reign <4427> in the nine <8672> and thirtieth <7970> year <8141>

of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; and he reigned

<4427> a full <3117> month <3391> in Samaria <8111>.




 14 For Menahem <4505> the son <1121> of Gadi <1424> went <5927>

up from Tirzah <8656>, and came <0935> to Samaria <8111>, and

smote <5221> Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> in

Samaria <8111>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his

stead <8478>.




 15 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Shallum <7967>,

and his conspiracy <7195> which <0834> he made <7194>, behold

<2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of the

chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.




 16 Then <0227> Menahem <4505> smote <5221> Tiphsah <8607>, and

all <3605> that [were] therein, and the coasts <1366> thereof

from Tirzah <8656>: because <3588> they opened <6605> not [to

him], therefore he smote <5221> [it; and] all <3605> the women

therein that were with child <2030> he ripped <1234> up.




 17 In the nine <8672> and thirtieth <7970> year <8141> of

Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Menahem <4505>

the son <1121> of Gadi <1424> to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel

<3478>, [and reigned] ten <6235> years <8141> in Samaria <8111>.




 18 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not all <3605> his

days <3117> from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son

<1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin

<2398>.




 19 [And] Pul <6322> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came

<0935> against <5921> the land <0776>: and Menahem <4505> gave

<5414> Pul <6322> a thousand <0505> talents <3603> of silver

<3701>, that his hand <3027> might be with him to confirm <2388>

the kingdom <4467> in his hand <3027>.




 20 And Menahem <4505> exacted <3318> the money <3701> of Israel

<3478>, [even] of all <3605> the mighty <1368> men of wealth

<2428>, of each <0259> man <0376> fifty <2572> shekels <8255> of

silver <3701>, to give <5414> to the king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>. So the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> turned <7725> back

<7725>, and stayed <5975> not there <8033> in the land <0776>.




 21 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Menahem <4505>,

and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789>

in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428>

of Israel <3478>?




 22 And Menahem <4505> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and

Pekahiah <6494> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead

<8478>.




 23 In the fiftieth <2572> year <8141> of Azariah <5838> king

<4428> of Judah <3063> Pekahiah <6494> the son <1121> of Menahem

<4505> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in

Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] two <8147> years <8141>.




 24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins

<2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who

<0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.




 25 But Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>, a

captain <7991> of his, conspired <7194> against <5921> him, and

smote <5221> him in Samaria <8111>, in the palace <0759> of the

king's <4428> house <1004>, with Argob <0709> and Arieh <0745>,

and with him fifty <2572> men <0376> of the Gileadites <1569>:

and he killed <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his room <8478>.




 26 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekahiah <6494>,

and all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009>, they [are]

written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of

the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.




 27 In the two <8147> and fiftieth <2572> year <8141> of Azariah

<5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Pekah <6492> the son <1121>

of Remaliah <7425> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel

<3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] twenty <6242> years

<8141>.




 28 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins

<2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who

<0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.




 29 In the days <3117> of Pekah <6492> king <4428> of Israel

<3478> came <0935> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>, and took <3947> Ijon <5859>, and Abelbethmaachah <62>,

and Janoah <3239>, and Kedesh <6943>, and Hazor <2674>, and

Gilead <1568>, and Galilee <1551>, all <3605> the land <0776> of

Naphtali <5321>, and carried <1540> them captive <1540> to

Assyria <0804>.




 30 And Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah <0425> made a

conspiracy <7195> against <5921> Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of

Remaliah <7425>, and smote <5221> him, and slew <4191> him, and

reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, in the twentieth <6242> year

<8141> of Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818>.




 31 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekah <6492>, and

all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009>, they [are] written

<3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings

<4428> of Israel <3478>.




 32. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Pekah <6492> the son

<1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began

Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of

Judah <3063> to reign <4427>.




 33 Five <2568> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> was he

when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned <4427> sixteen

years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name

<8034> [was] Jerusha <3388>, the daughter <1323> of Zadok <6659>.




 34 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he did <6213> according to all <3605>

that his father <1> Uzziah <5818> had done <6213>.




 35 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not removed <5493>: the

people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burned <6999> incense <6999>

still <5750> in the high <1116> places. He built <1129> the

higher <5945> gate <8179> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 36 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jotham <3147>, and

all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in

the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Judah <3063>?




 37 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to

send <7971> against Judah <3063> Rezin <7526> the king <4428> of

Syria <0758>, and Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>.




 38 And Jotham <3147> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was

buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David

<1732> his father <1>: and Ahaz <0271> his son <1121> reigned

<4427> in his stead <8478>.




2Kings 16




 1. In the seventeenth <7651> year <8141> of Pekah <6492> the

son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> Ahaz <0271> the son <1121> of

Jotham <3147> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>.




 2 Twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Ahaz <0271> when

he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> sixteen years

<8141> in Jerusalem <3389>, and did <6213> not [that which was]

right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> his God

<0430>, like David <1732> his father <1>.




 3 But he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428> of

Israel <3478>, yea <1571>, and made his son <1121> to pass

<5674> through the fire <0784>, according to the abominations

<8441> of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast

<3423> out from before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>.




 4 And he sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> in

the high <1116> places, and on <5921> the hills <1389>, and

under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>.




 5. Then <0227> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758> and

Pekah <6492> son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel

<3478> came <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389> to war <4421>: and

they besieged <6696> Ahaz <0271>, but could <3201> not overcome

<3898> [him].




 6 At that time <6256> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758>

recovered <7725> Elath <0359> to Syria <0758>, and drave <5394>

the Jews <3064> from Elath <0359>: and the Syrians <0758> came

<0935> to Elath <0359>, and dwelt <3427> there <8033> unto this

<2088> day <3117>.




 7 So Ahaz <0271> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to

Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, saying

<0559>, I [am] thy servant <5650> and thy son <1121>: come

<5927> up, and save <3467> me out of the hand <3709> of the king

<4428> of Syria <0758>, and out of the hand <3709> of the king

<4428> of Israel <3478>, which rise <6965> up against <5921> me.




 8 And Ahaz <0271> took <3947> the silver <3701> and gold <2091>

that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,

and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>,

and sent <7971> [it for] a present <7810> to the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>.




 9 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> hearkened <8085> unto

him: for the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> went <5927> up

against <0413> Damascus <1834>, and took <8610> it, and carried

<1540> [the people of] it captive <1540> to Kir <7024>, and slew

<4191> Rezin <7526>.




 10. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> went <3212> to Damascus <1834>

to meet <7125> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>, and saw <7200> an altar <4196> that [was] at Damascus

<1834>: and king <4428> Ahaz <0271> sent <7971> to Urijah <0223>

the priest <3548> the fashion <1823> of the altar <4196>, and

the pattern <8403> of it, according to all <3605> the

workmanship <4639> thereof.




 11 And Urijah <0223> the priest <3548> built <1129> an altar

<4196> according to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> had

sent <7971> from Damascus <1834>: so <3651> Urijah <0223> the

priest <3548> made <6213> [it] against <5704> king <4428> Ahaz

<0271> came <0935> from Damascus <1834>.




 12 And when the king <4428> was come <0935> from Damascus

<1834>, the king <4428> saw <7200> the altar <4196>: and the

king <4428> approached <7126> to the altar <4196>, and offered

<5927> thereon <5921>.




 13 And he burnt <6999> his burnt <6999> offering and his meat

offering <4503>, and poured <5258> his drink <5262> offering,

and sprinkled <2236> the blood <1818> of his peace <8002>

offerings, upon the altar <4196>.




 14 And he brought <7126> also the brasen <5178> altar <4196>,

which <0834> [was] before <6440> the LORD <3068>, from the

forefront <6440> of the house <1004>, from between <0996> the

altar <4196> and the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and put

<5414> it on <5921> the north <6828> side <3409> of the altar

<4196>.




 15 And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680> Urijah <0223>

the priest <3548>, saying <0559>, Upon the great <1419> altar

<4196> burn <6999> the morning <1242> burnt <5930> offering, and

the evening <6153> meat offering <4503>, and the king's <4428>

burnt <5930> sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt

<5930> offering of all <3605> the people <5971> of the land

<0776>, and their meat offering <4503>, and their drink <5262>

offerings; and sprinkle <2236> upon it all <3605> the blood

<1818> of the burnt <5930> offering, and all <3605> the blood

<1818> of the sacrifice <2077>: and the brasen <5178> altar

<4196> shall be for me to enquire <1239> [by].




 16 Thus did <6213> Urijah <0223> the priest <3548>, according

to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680>.




 17. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> cut <7112> off the borders

<4526> of the bases <4350>, and removed <5493> the laver <3595>

from off <5921> them; and took <3381> down <3381> the sea <3220>

from off <5921> the brasen <5178> oxen <1241> that [were] under

<8478> it, and put <5414> it upon a pavement <4837> of stones

<68>.




 18 And the covert <4329> for the sabbath <7676> that they had

built <1129> in the house <1004>, and the king's <4428> entry

<3996> without <2435>, turned <5437> he from the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068> for the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.




 19 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaz <0271> which

<0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book

<5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah

<3063>?




 20 And Ahaz <0271> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was

buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David

<1732>: and Hezekiah <2396> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his

stead <8478>.




2Kings 17




 1. In the twelfth year <8141> of Ahaz <0271> king <4428> of

Judah <3063> began Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah <0425>

to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111> over <5921> Israel <3478> nine

<8672> years <8141>.




 2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, but not as the kings <4428> of Israel

<3478> that were before <6440> him.




 3 Against <5921> him came <5927> up Shalmaneser <8022> king

<4428> of Assyria <0804>; and Hoshea <1954> became <1961> his

servant <5650>, and gave <7725> him presents <4503>.




 4 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> found <4672> conspiracy

<7195> in Hoshea <1954>: for he had sent <7971> messengers

<4397> to So <5471> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and brought

<5927> no <3808> present <4503> to the king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>, as [he had done] year <8141> by year <8141>: therefore

the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> shut <6113> him up, and bound

<0631> him in prison.




 5 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5927> up

throughout all <3605> the land <0776>, and went <5927> up to

Samaria <8111>, and besieged <6696> it three <7969> years <8141>.




 6 In the ninth <8671> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> the king

<4428> of Assyria <0804> took <3920> Samaria <8111>, and carried

<1540> Israel <3478> away <1540> into Assyria <0804>, and placed

<3427> them in Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river

<5104> of Gozan <1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes

<4074>.




 7. For [so] it was, that the children <1121> of Israel <3478>

had sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068> their God <0430>,

which had brought <5927> them up out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>, from under <8478> the hand <3027> of Pharaoh <6547> king

<4428> of Egypt <4714>, and had feared <3372> other <0312> gods

<0430>,




 8 And walked <3212> in the statutes <2708> of the heathen

<1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast <3423> out from before

<6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and of the kings

<4428> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> they had made <6213>.




 9 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did secretly <2644>

[those] things <1697> that [were] not right <3651> against

<5921> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and they built <1129>

them high <1116> places in all <3605> their cities <5892>, from

the tower <4026> of the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013>

city <5892>.




 10 And they set <5324> them up images <4676> and groves <0842>

in every <3605> high <1364> hill <1389>, and under <8478> every

<3605> green <7488> tree <6086>:




 11 And there <8033> they burnt <6999> incense <6999> in all

<3605> the high <1116> places, as [did] the heathen <1471> whom

<0834> the LORD <3068> carried <1540> away <1540> before <6440>

them; and wrought <6213> wicked <7451> things <1697> to provoke

the LORD <3068> to anger <3707>:




 12 For they served <5647> idols <1544>, whereof <0834> the LORD

<3068> had said <0559> unto them, Ye shall not do <6213> this

<2088> thing <1697>.




 13 Yet the LORD <3068> testified <5749> against Israel <3478>,

and against Judah <3063>, by all <3605> the prophets <5030>,

[and by] all <3605> the seers <2374>, saying <0559>, Turn <7725>

ye from your evil <7451> ways <1870>, and keep <8104> my

commandments <4687> [and] my statutes <2708>, according to all

<3605> the law <8451> which <0834> I commanded <6680> your

fathers <1>, and which <0834> I sent <7971> to you by my

servants <5650> the prophets <5030>.




 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085>, but hardened

<7185> their necks <6203>, like to the neck <6203> of their

fathers <1>, that did not believe <0539> in the LORD <3068>

their God <0430>.




 15 And they rejected <3988> his statutes <2706>, and his

covenant <1285> that he made <3772> with their fathers <1>, and

his testimonies <5715> which <0834> he testified <5749> against

them; and they followed vanity <1892>, and became <1891> vain

<1891>, and went <3212> after <0310> the heathen <1471> that

[were] round <5439> about them, [concerning] whom <0834> the

LORD <3068> had charged <6680> them, that they should not do

<6213> like them.




 16 And they left <5800> all <3605> the commandments <4687> of

the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and made <6213> them molten

<4541> images, [even] two <8147> calves <5695>, and made <6213>

a grove <0842>, and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635>

of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> Baal <1168>.




 17 And they caused their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121>

to pass <5674> through the fire <0784>, and used divination

<7081> and enchantments <5172>, and sold <4376> themselves to do

<6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, to

provoke him to anger <3707>.




 18 Therefore the LORD <3068> was very <3966> angry <0599> with

Israel <3478>, and removed <5493> them out of his sight <6440>:

there was none <3808> left <7604> but the tribe <7626> of Judah

<3063> only <0905>.




 19 Also <1571> Judah <3063> kept <8104> not the commandments

<4687> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, but walked <3212> in

the statutes <2708> of Israel <3478> which <0834> they made

<6213>.




 20 And the LORD <3068> rejected <3988> all <3605> the seed

<2233> of Israel <3478>, and afflicted <6031> them, and

delivered <5414> them into the hand <3027> of spoilers <8154>,

until <5704> he had cast <7993> them out of his sight <6440>.




 21 For he rent <7167> Israel <3478> from the house <1004> of

David <1732>; and they made Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of

Nebat <5028> king <4427>: and Jeroboam <3379> drave <5071>

Israel <3478> from following <0310> the LORD <3068>, and made

them sin <2398> a great <1419> sin <2401>.




 22 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> walked <3212> in

all <3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> which <0834> he

did <6213>; they departed <5493> not from them;




 23 Until <5704> the LORD <3068> removed <5493> Israel <3478>

out of his sight <6440>, as he had said <1696> by all <3605> his

servants <5650> the prophets <5030>. So was Israel <3478>

carried <1540> away <1540> out of their own land <0127> to

Assyria <0804> unto this <2088> day <3117>.




 24. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> brought <0935> [men]

from Babylon <0894>, and from Cuthah <3575>, and from Ava <5755>,

 and from Hamath <2574>, and from Sepharvaim <5617>, and placed

<3427> [them] in the cities <5892> of Samaria <8111> instead

<8478> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and they

possessed <3423> Samaria <8111>, and dwelt <3427> in the cities

<5892> thereof.




 25 And [so] it was at the beginning <8462> of their dwelling

<3427> there <8033>, [that] they feared <3372> not the LORD

<3068>: therefore the LORD <3068> sent <7971> lions <0738> among

them, which slew <2026> [some] of them.




 26 Wherefore they spake <0559> to the king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>, saying <0559>, The nations <1471> which <0834> thou hast

removed <1540>, and placed <3427> in the cities <5892> of

Samaria <8111>, know <3045> not the manner <4941> of the God

<0430> of the land <0776>: therefore he hath sent <7971> lions

<0738> among them, and, behold <2009>, they slay <4191> them,

because <0834> they know <3045> not the manner <4941> of the God

<0430> of the land <0776>.




 27 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> commanded <6680>,

saying <0559>, Carry <1980> thither <8033> one <0259> of the

priests <3548> whom <0834> ye brought <1540> from thence <8033>;

and let them go <3212> and dwell <3427> there <8033>, and let

him teach <3384> them the manner <4941> of the God <0430> of the

land <0776>.




 28 Then one <0259> of the priests <3548> whom <0834> they had

carried <1540> away <1540> from Samaria <8111> came <0935> and

dwelt <3427> in Bethel <1008>, and taught <3384> them how <0349>

they should fear <3372> the LORD <3068>.




 29 Howbeit every nation <1471> made <6213> gods <0430> of their

own, and put <3240> [them] in the houses <1004> of the high

<1116> places which <0834> the Samaritans <8118> had made <6213>,

 every nation <1471> in their cities <5892> wherein they dwelt

<3427>.




 30 And the men <0582> of Babylon <0894> made <6213>

Succothbenoth <5524>, and the men <0582> of Cuth <3575> made

<6213> Nergal <5370>, and the men <0582> of Hamath <2574> made

<6213> Ashima <0807>,




 31 And the Avites <5757> made <6213> Nibhaz <5026> and Tartak

<8662>, and the Sepharvites <5616> burnt <8313> their children

<1121> in fire <0784> to Adrammelech <0152> and Anammelech

<6048>, the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim <5617>.




 32 So they feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and made <6213> unto

themselves of the lowest <7098> of them priests <3548> of the

high <1116> places, which <1961> sacrificed <6213> for them in

the houses <1004> of the high <1116> places.




 33 They feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and served <5647> their

own gods <0430>, after the manner <4941> of the nations <1471>

whom <0834> they carried <1540> away <1540> from thence <8033>.




 34 Unto this <2088> day <3117> they do <6213> after the former

<7223> manners <4941>: they fear <3373> not the LORD <3068>,

neither <0369> do <6213> they after their statutes <2708>, or

after their ordinances <4941>, or after <0310> the law <8451>

and commandment <4687> which <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded

<6680> the children <1121> of Jacob <3290>, whom <0834> he named

<8034> Israel <3478>;




 35 With whom the LORD <3068> had made <3772> a covenant <1285>,

and charged <6680> them, saying <0559>, Ye shall not fear <3372>

other <0312> gods <0430>, nor <3808> bow <7812> yourselves to

them, nor <3808> serve <5647> them, nor <3808> sacrifice <2076>

to them:




 36 But the LORD <3068>, who <0834> brought <5927> you up out of

the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> with great <1419> power <3581>

and a stretched <5186> out arm <2220>, him shall ye fear <3372>,

and him shall ye worship <7812>, and to him shall ye do

sacrifice <2076>.




 37 And the statutes <2706>, and the ordinances <4941>, and the

law <8451>, and the commandment <4687>, which <0834> he wrote

<3789> for you, ye shall observe <8104> to do <6213> for

evermore; and ye shall not fear <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>.




 38 And the covenant <1285> that I have made <3772> with you ye

shall not forget <7911>; neither <3808> shall ye fear <3372>

other <0312> gods <0430>.




 39 But the LORD <3068> your God <0430> ye shall fear <3372>;

and he shall deliver <5337> you out of the hand <3027> of all

<3605> your enemies <0341>.




 40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085>, but they did <6213>

after their former <7223> manner <4941>.




 41 So these <0428> nations <1471> feared <3373> the LORD <3068>,

 and served <5647> their graven <6456> images, both <1571> their

children <1121>, and their children's <1121> children <1121>: as

did <6213> their fathers <1>, so do <6213> they unto this <2088>

day <3117>.




2Kings 18




 1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the third <7969> year <8141>

of Hoshea <1954> son <1121> of Elah <0425> king <4428> of Israel

<3478>, [that] Hezekiah <2396> the son <1121> of Ahaz <0271>

king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>.




 2 Twenty <6242> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121> was he

when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> twenty

<6242> and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. His

mother's <0517> name <8034> also [was] Abi <21>, the daughter

<1323> of Zachariah <2148>.




 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight

<5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all <3605> that David

<1732> his father <1> did <6213>.




 4 He removed <5493> the high <1116> places, and brake <7665>

the images <4676>, and cut <3772> down the groves <0842>, and

brake <3807> in pieces the brasen <5178> serpent <5175> that

Moses <4872> had made <6213>: for unto those <1992> days <3117>

the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did burn <6999> incense

<6999> to it: and he called <7121> it Nehushtan <5180>.




 5 He trusted <0982> in the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel

<3478>; so that after <0310> him was none <3808> like <3644> him

among all <3605> the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, nor [any]

that were before <6440> him.




 6 For he clave <1692> to the LORD <3068>, [and] departed <5493>

not from following <0310> him, but kept <8104> his commandments

<4687>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses

<4872>.




 7 And the LORD <3068> was with him; [and] he prospered <7919>

whithersoever he went <3318> forth <3318>: and he rebelled

<4775> against the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and served

<5647> him not.




 8 He smote <5221> the Philistines <6430>, [even] unto Gaza

<5804>, and the borders <1366> thereof, from the tower <4026> of

the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013> city <5892>.




 9. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <7243> year <8141>

of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, which <1958> [was] the seventh

<7651> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> son <1121> of Elah <0425>

king <4428> of Israel <3478>, [that] Shalmaneser <8022> king

<4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5957> up against <5921> Samaria

<8111>, and besieged <6696> it.




 10 And at the end <7097> of three <7969> years <8141> they took

<3920> it: [even] in the sixth <8337> year <8141> of Hezekiah

<2396>, that [is] the ninth <8672> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954>

king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Samaria <8111> was taken <3920>.




 11 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> did carry <1540> away

<1540> Israel <3478> unto Assyria <0804>, and put <5148> them in

Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river <5104> of Gozan

<1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes <4074>:




 12 Because they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD

<3068> their God <0430>, but transgressed <5674> his covenant

<1285>, [and] all <3605> that Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of

the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, and would not hear <8085>

[them], nor <3808> do <6213> [them].




 13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141> of king <4428> Hezekiah

<2396> did Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> come

<5927> up against <5921> all <3605> the fenced <1219> cities

<5892> of Judah <3063>, and took <8610> them.




 14 And Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> sent <7971>

to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> to Lachish <3923>, saying

<0559>, I have offended <2398>; return <7725> from me: that

which <0834> thou puttest <5414> on <5921> me will I bear <5375>.

 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> appointed <7760> unto

Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> three <7969> hundred

<3967> talents <3603> of silver <3701> and thirty <7970> talents

<3603> of gold <2091>.




 15 And Hezekiah <2396> gave <5414> [him] all <3605> the silver

<3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house

<1004>.




 16 At that time <6256> did Hezekiah <2396> cut <7112> off [the

gold from] the doors <1817> of the temple <1964> of the LORD

<3068>, and [from] the pillars <0547> which <0834> Hezekiah

<2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had overlaid <6823>, and gave

<5414> it to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.




 17. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> sent <7971> Tartan

<8661> and Rabsaris <7249> and Rabshakeh <7262> from Lachish

<3923> to king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> with a great <3515> host

<2426> against Jerusalem <3389>. And they went <5927> up and

came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>. And when they were come <5927>

up, they came <0935> and stood <5975> by the conduit <8585> of

the upper <5945> pool <1295>, which <0834> [is] in the highway

<4546> of the fuller's <3526> field <7704>.




 18 And when they had called <7121> to the king <4428>, there

came <3318> out to them Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah

<2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and

Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121>

of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>.




 19 And Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Speak <0559> ye

now <4994> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the

great <1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>,

What <4100> confidence <0986> [is] this <2088> wherein <0834>

thou trustest <0982>?




 20 Thou sayest <0559>, (but [they are but] vain <8193> words

<1697>,) [I have] counsel <6098> and strength <1369> for the war

<4421>. Now <6258> on <5921> whom <4310> dost thou trust <0982>,

that thou rebellest <4775> against me?




 21 Now <6258>, behold <2009>, thou trustest <0982> upon the

staff <4938> of this <2088> bruised <7533> reed <7070>, [even]

upon Egypt <4714>, on <5921> which <0834> if <0834> a man <0376>

lean <5564>, it will go <0935> into his hand <3709>, and pierce

<5344> it: so <3651> [is] Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt

<4714> unto all <3605> that trust <0982> on <5921> him.




 22 But if <3588> ye say <0559> unto me, We trust <0982> in the

LORD <3068> our God <0430>: [is] not that he, whose high <1116>

places and whose altars <4196> Hezekiah <2396> hath taken <5493>

away <5493>, and hath said <0559> to Judah <3063> and Jerusalem

<3389>, Ye shall worship <7812> before <6440> this <2088> altar

<4196> in Jerusalem <3389>?




 23 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> thee, give pledges

<6148> to my lord <0113> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and

I will deliver <5414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <5483>, if

<0518> thou be able <3201> on thy part to set <5414> riders

<7392> upon them.




 24 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <7725> away the face <6440>

of one <0259> captain <6346> of the least <6996> of my master's

<0113> servants <5650>, and put thy trust <0982> on <5921> Egypt

<4714> for chariots <7393> and for horsemen <6571>?




 25 Am I now <6258> come <5927> up without <1107> the LORD

<3068> against <5921> this <2088> place <4725> to destroy <7843>

it? The LORD <3068> said <0559> to me, Go <5927> up against

<5921> this <2063> land <0776>, and destroy <7843> it.




 26 Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah

<2518>, and Shebna <7644>, and Joah <3098>, unto Rabshakeh

<7262>, Speak <1696>, I pray <4994> thee, to thy servants <5650>

in the Syrian <0762> language; for we understand <8085> [it]:

and talk <1696> not with us in the Jews <3066>' language in the

ears <0241> of the people <5971> that [are] on <5921> the wall

<2346>.




 27 But Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Hath my master

<0113> sent <7971> me to thy master <0113>, and to thee, to

speak <1696> these <0428> words <1697>? [hath he] not [sent me]

to the men <0582> which sit <3427> on <5921> the wall <2346>,

that they may eat <0398> their own dung, and drink <8354> their

own piss <7890> with you?




 28 Then Rabshakeh <7262> stood <5975> and cried <7121> with a

loud <1419> voice <6963> in the Jews <3066>' language, and spake

<1696>, saying <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the great

<1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:




 29 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, Let not Hezekiah

<2396> deceive <5377> you: for he shall not be able <3201> to

deliver <5337> you out of his hand <3027>:




 30 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <2396> make you trust <0982> in

the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will surely

deliver <5337> us, and this <2063> city <5892> shall not be

delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>.




 31 Hearken <8085> not to Hezekiah <2396>: for thus <3541> saith

<0559> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <6213> [an

agreement] with me by a present <1293>, and come <3318> out to

me, and [then] eat <0398> ye every man <0376> of his own vine

<1612>, and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <8384> tree, and

drink <8354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <4325> of his

cistern <0953>:




 32 Until <5704> I come <0935> and take <3947> you away to a

land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land <0776> of corn

<1715> and wine <8492>, a land <0776> of bread <3899> and

vineyards <3754>, a land <0776> of oil <3323> olive <2132> and

of honey <1706>, that ye may live <2421>, and not die <4191>:

and hearken <8085> not unto Hezekiah <2396>, when <3588> he

persuadeth <5496> you, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will

deliver <5337> us.




 33 Hath any <0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <1471>

delivered <5337> at all his land <0776> out of the hand <3027>

of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>?




 34 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath <2574>, and of

Arpad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim

<5617>, Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>? have they delivered <5337>

Samaria <8111> out of mine hand <3027>?




 35 Who <4310> [are] they among all <3605> the gods <0430> of

the countries <0776>, that have delivered <5337> their country

<0776> out of mine hand <3027>, that the LORD <3068> should

deliver <5337> Jerusalem <3389> out of mine hand <3027>?




 36 But the people <5971> held <2790> their peace <2790>, and

answered <6030> him not a word <1697>: for the king's <4428>

commandment <4687> was, saying <0559>, Answer <6030> him not.




 37 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah

<2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and

Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121>

of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>, to Hezekiah <2396> with

[their] clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and told <5046> him the

words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>.




2Kings 19




 1. And it came <1961> to pass, when king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>

heard <8085> [it], that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and

covered <3680> himself with sackcloth <8242>, and went <0935>

into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 2 And he sent <7971> Eliakim <0471>, which <0834> [was] over

<5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>,

 and the elders <2205> of the priests <3548>, covered <3680>

with sackcloth <8242>, to Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> the

son <1121> of Amoz <0531>.




 3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559>

Hezekiah <2396>, This <2088> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of

trouble <6869>, and of rebuke <8433>, and blasphemy <5007>: for

the children <1121> are come <0935> to the birth <4866>, and

[there is] not strength <3581> to bring <3205> forth <3205>.




 4 It may <0194> be the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hear

<8085> all <3605> the words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>, whom

<0834> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath

sent <7971> to reproach <2778> the living <2416> God <0430>; and

will reprove <3198> the words <1697> which <0834> the LORD

<3068> thy God <0430> hath heard <8085>: wherefore lift <5375>

up [thy] prayer <8605> for the remnant <7611> that are left

<4672>.




 5 So the servants <5650> of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> came

<0935> to Isaiah <3470>.




 6 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> shall ye

say <0559> to your master <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the

LORD <3068>, Be not afraid <3372> of the words <1697> which

<0834> thou hast heard <8085>, with which <0834> the servants

<5288> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed

<1442> me.




 7 Behold <2005>, I will send <5414> a blast <7307> upon him,

and he shall hear <8085> a rumour <8052>, and shall return

<7725> to his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall

<5307> by the sword <2719> in his own land <0776>.




 8. So Rabshakeh <7262> returned <7725>, and found <4672> the

king <4428> of Assyria <0804> warring <3898> against <5921>

Libnah <3841>: for he had heard <8085> that he was departed

<5265> from Lachish <3923>.




 9 And when he heard <8085> say <0559> of Tirhakah <8640> king

<4428> of Ethiopia <3568>, Behold <2009>, he is come <3318> out

to fight <3898> against thee: he sent <7971> messengers <4397>

again <7725> unto Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>,




 10 Thus <3541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah <2396> king

<4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430> in

whom <0834> thou trustest <0982> deceive <5377> thee, saying

<0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall not be delivered <5414> into the

hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.




 11 Behold <2009>, thou hast heard <8085> what the kings <4428>

of Assyria <0804> have done <6213> to all <3605> lands <0776>,

by destroying <2763> them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered

<5337>?




 12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>

them which <0834> my fathers <1> have destroyed <0843>; [as]

Gozan <1470>, and Haran <2771>, and Rezeph <7530>, and the

children <1121> of Eden <5731> which <0834> [were] in Thelasar

<8515>?




 13 Where <0346> [is] the king <4428> of Hamath <2574>, and the

king <4428> of Arpad <0774>, and the king <4428> of the city

<5892> of Sepharvaim <5617>, of Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>?




 14 And Hezekiah <2396> received <3947> the letter <5612> of the

hand <3027> of the messengers <4397>, and read <7121> it: and

Hezekiah <2396> went <5927> up into the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068>, and spread <6566> it before <6440> the LORD <3068>.




 15 And Hezekiah <2396> prayed <6419> before <6440> the LORD

<3068>, and said <0559>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel

<3478>, which dwellest <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>,

thou art the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all <3605>

the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>; thou hast made <6213>

heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.




 16 LORD <3068>, bow <5186> down <5186> thine ear <0241>, and

hear <8085>: open <6491>, LORD <3068>, thine eyes <5869>, and

see <7200>: and hear <8085> the words <1697> of Sennacherib

<5576>, which <0834> hath sent <7971> him to reproach <2778> the

living <2416> God <0430>.




 17 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <3068>, the kings <4428> of Assyria

<0804> have destroyed <2717> the nations <1471> and their lands

<0776>,




 18 And have cast <5414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>:

for they [were] no <3808> gods <0430>, but the work <4639> of

men's <0120> hands <3027>, wood <6086> and stone <68>: therefore

they have destroyed <6> them.




 19 Now <6258> therefore, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, I

beseech <4994> thee, save <3467> thou us out of his hand <3027>,

that all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776> may know

<3045> that thou [art] the LORD <3068> God <0430>, [even] thou

only <0905>.




 20. Then Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> sent

<7971> to Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith

<0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, [That] which

<0834> thou hast prayed <6419> to me against <0413> Sennacherib

<5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> I have heard <8085>.




 21 This <2088> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath

spoken <1696> concerning <5921> him; The virgin <1330> the

daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> hath despised <0959> thee, [and]

laughed <3932> thee to scorn; the daughter <1323> of Jerusalem

<3389> hath shaken <5128> her head <7218> at thee.




 22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778> and blasphemed <1442>? and

against <5921> whom <4310> hast thou exalted <7311> [thy] voice

<6963>, and lifted <5375> up thine eyes <5869> on high <4791>?

[even] against <5921> the Holy <6918> [One] of Israel <3478>.




 23 By thy messengers <4397> thou hast reproached <2778> the

Lord <3068>, and hast said <0559>, With the multitude <7393> of

my chariots <7393> I am come <5927> up to the height <4791> of

the mountains <2022>, to the sides <3411> of Lebanon <3844>, and

will cut <3772> down the tall <6967> cedar <0730> trees thereof,

[and] the choice <4005> fir <1265> trees thereof: and I will

enter <0935> into the lodgings <4411> of his borders <7093>,

[and into] the forest <3293> of his Carmel <3760>.




 24 I have digged <5365> and drunk <8354> strange <2114> waters

<4325>, and with the sole <3709> of my feet <6471> have I dried

<2717> up all <3605> the rivers <2975> of besieged <4693> places.




 25 Hast thou not heard <8085> long <7350> ago <7350> [how] I

have done <6213> it, [and] of ancient <6924> times <3117> that I

have formed <3335> it? now <6258> have I brought <0935> it to

pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582> fenced <1219>

cities <5892> [into] ruinous <5327> heaps <1530>.




 26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427> were of small <7116>

power <3027>, they were dismayed <2865> and confounded <0954>;

they were [as] the grass <6212> of the field <7704>, and [as]

the green <3410> herb <1877>, [as] the grass <2682> on the

housetops <1406>, and [as corn] blasted <7711> before <6440> it

be grown <6965> up.




 27 But I know <3045> thy abode <3427>, and thy going <3318> out,

 and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <7264> against <0413> me.




 28 Because <3282> thy rage <7264> against <0413> me and thy

tumult <7600> is come <5927> up into mine ears <0241>, therefore

I will put <7760> my hook <2397> in thy nose <0639>, and my

bridle <4964> in thy lips <8193>, and I will turn <7725> thee

back <7725> by the way <1870> by which <0834> thou camest <0935>.




 29 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye shall

eat <0398> this year <8141> such things as grow <5599> of

themselves, and in the second <8145> year <8141> that which

springeth <7823> of the same; and in the third <7992> year

<8141> sow <2232> ye, and reap <7114>, and plant <5193>

vineyards <3754>, and eat <0398> the fruits <6529> thereof.




 30 And the remnant <7604> that is escaped <6413> of the house

<1004> of Judah <3063> shall yet again <3254> take <3947> root

<8328> downward <4295>, and bear <6213> fruit <6529> upward

<4605>.




 31 For out of Jerusalem <3389> shall go <3318> forth <3318> a

remnant <7611>, and they that escape <6413> out of mount <2022>

Zion <6726>: the zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> [of hosts] shall

do <6213> this <2063>.




 32 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>

concerning <0413> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, He shall

not come <0935> into <0413> this city <5892>, nor <3808> shoot

<3384> an arrow <2671> there <8033>, nor <3808> come <6923>

before <6924> it with shield <4043>, nor cast <8210> a bank

<5550> against <5921> it.




 33 By the way <1870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he

return <7725>, and shall not come <0935> into <0413> this <2063>

city <5892>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.




 34 For I will defend <1598> this <2063> city <5892>, to save

<3467> it, for mine own sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650>

David's <1732> sake <4616>.




 35. And it came <1961> to pass that night <3915>, that the

angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> went <3318> out, and smote

<5221> in the camp <4264> of the Assyrians <0804> an hundred

<3967> fourscore <8084> and five <2568> thousand <0505>: and

when they arose <7925> early <7925> in the morning <1242>,

behold <2009>, they [were] all <3605> dead <4191> corpses <6297>.




 36 So Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> departed

<5265>, and went <3212> and returned <7725>, and dwelt <3427> at

Nineveh <5210>.




 37 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was worshipping <7812> in

the house <1004> of Nisroch <5268> his god <0430>, that

Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <8272> his sons <1121> smote

<5221> him with the sword <2719>: and they escaped <4422> into

the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>. And Esarhaddon <0634> his son

<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.




2Kings 20




 1. In those <1992> days <3117> was Hezekiah <2396> sick <2470>

unto death <4191>. And the prophet <5030> Isaiah <3470> the son

<1121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> to him, and said <0559> unto

him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Set thine house

<1004> in order <6680>; for thou shalt die <4191>, and not live

<2421>.




 2 Then he turned <5437> his face <6440> to the wall <7023>, and

prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,




 3 I beseech <0577> thee, O LORD <3068>, remember <2142> now

<4994> how <0834> I have walked <1980> before <6440> thee in

truth <0571> and with a perfect <8003> heart <3824>, and have

done <6213> [that which is] good <2896> in thy sight <5869>. And

Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058> sore <1419>.




 4 And it came <1961> to pass, afore <3808> Isaiah <3470> was

gone <3318> out into the middle <8484> court <5892>, that the

word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to him, saying <0559>,




 5 Turn <7725> again <7725>, and tell <0559> Hezekiah <2396> the

captain <5057> of my people <5971>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the

LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of David <1732> thy father <1>, I

have heard <8085> thy prayer <8605>, I have seen <7200> thy

tears <1832>: behold <2005>, I will heal <7495> thee: on the

third <7992> day <3117> thou shalt go <5927> up unto the house

<1004> of the LORD <3068>.




 6 And I will add <3254> unto thy days <3117> fifteen <6240>

years <8141>; and I will deliver <5337> thee and this <2063>

city <5892> out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Assyria

<0804>; and I will defend <1598> this city <5892> for mine own

sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650> David's <1732> sake

<4616>.




 7 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, Take <3947> a lump <1690> of

figs <8384>. And they took <3947> and laid <7760> [it] on <5921>

the boil <7822>, and he recovered <2421>.




 8 And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559> unto Isaiah <3470>, What

<4100> [shall be] the sign <0226> that the LORD <3068> will heal

<7495> me, and that I shall go <5927> up into the house <1004>

of the LORD <3068> the third <7992> day <3117>?




 9 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, This <2088> sign <0226> shalt

thou have of the LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do

<6213> the thing that he hath spoken <1696>: shall the shadow

<6738> go <1980> forward ten <6235> degrees <4609>, or go <7725>

back <7725> ten <6235> degrees <4609>?




 10 And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, It is a light <7043>

thing for the shadow <6738> to go <5186> down <5186> ten <6235>

degrees <4609>: nay <3808>, but let the shadow <6738> return

<7725> backward <0322> ten <6235> degrees <4609>.




 11 And Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> cried <7121> unto the

LORD <3068>: and he brought <7725> the shadow <6738> ten <6235>

degrees <4609> backward <0322>, by which <0834> it had gone

<3381> down <3381> in the dial <4609> of Ahaz <0271>.




 12. At that time <6256> Berodachbaladan <1255>, the son <1121>

of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, sent <7971>

letters <5612> and a present <4503> unto Hezekiah <2396>: for he

had heard <8085> that Hezekiah <2396> had been <1961> sick

<2470>.




 13 And Hezekiah <2396> hearkened <8085> unto them, and shewed

<7200> them all <3605> the house <1004> of his precious <5238>

things, the silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices

<1314>, and the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and [all

<3605>] the house <1004> of his armour <3627>, and all <3605>

that was found <4672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing

in his house <1004>, nor in all <3605> his dominion <4475>, that

Hezekiah <2396> shewed <7200> them not.




 14 Then came <0935> Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> unto king

<4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <4100>

said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came

<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559>, They are

come <0935> from a far <7350> country <0776>, [even] from

Babylon <0894>.




 15 And he said <0559>, What <4100> have they seen <7200> in

thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, All

<3605> [the things] that [are] in mine house <1004> have they

seen <7200>: there is nothing <1697> among my treasures <0214>

that I have not shewed <7200> them.




 16 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto Hezekiah <2396>, Hear

<8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.




 17 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that all <3605>

that [is] in thine house <1004>, and that which <0834> thy

fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686> unto this <2088> day

<3117>, shall be carried <5375> into Babylon <0894>: nothing

shall be left <3498>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.




 18 And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318> from thee,

which <0834> thou shalt beget <3205>, shall they take <3947>

away; and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace <1964> of

the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.




 19 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <2396> unto Isaiah <3470>, Good

<2896> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> thou

hast spoken <1696>. And he said <0559>, [Is it] not [good], if

<0518> peace <7965> and truth <0571> be in my days <3117>?




 20 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Hezekiah <2396>,

and all <3605> his might <1369>, and how <0834> he made <6213> a

pool <1295>, and a conduit <8585>, and brought <0935> water

<4325> into the city <5892>, [are] they not written <3789> in

the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of

Judah <3063>?




 21 And Hezekiah <2396> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>: and

Manasseh <4519> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead

<8478>.




2Kings 21




 1. Manasseh <4519> [was] twelve years <8141> old <1121> when he

began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> fifty <2572> and five

<2568> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>

name <8034> [was] Hephzibah <2657>.




 2 And he did <6213> [that which <0834> was] evil <7451> in the

sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, after the abominations <8441>

of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast <3423>

out before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.




 3 For he built <1129> up again <7725> the high <1116> places

which <0834> Hezekiah <2396> his father <1> had destroyed <6>;

and he reared <6965> up altars <4196> for Baal <1168>, and made

<6213> a grove <0842>, as did <6213> Ahab <0256> king <4428> of

Israel <3478>; and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635>

of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> them.




 4 And he built <1129> altars <4196> in the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068>, of which <0834> the LORD <3068> said <0559>, In

Jerusalem <3389> will I put <7760> my name <8034>.




 5 And he built <1129> altars <4196> for all <3605> the host

<6635> of heaven <8064> in the two <8147> courts <2691
