 : 1 .  Now king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > was old <2204

zaqen >  [ and ]  stricken <0935 bow> > in years <3117 yowm > ;  

and they covered <3680 kacah > him with clothes <0899 beged > ,  

but he gat no <3808 lo> > heat <3179 yacham > .


 : 2 Wherefore his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar >

unto him ,  Let there be sought <1245 baqash > for my lord <0113

>adown > the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin

paniym > the king <4428 melek > ,  and let her cherish <5532

cakan > him ,  and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436

cheyq > ,  that my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >

may get heat <2552 chamam > .


 : 3 So they sought <1245 baqash > for a fair <3303 yapheh >

damsel <5291 na<arah > throughout all <3605 kol > the coasts

<1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and found <4672

matsa> > Abishag <49> a Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > ,  and

brought <0935 bow> > her to the king <4428 melek > .


 : 4 And the damsel <5291 na<arah >  [ was ]  very <3966 m@<od >

fair <3303 yapheh > ,  and cherished <5532 cakan > the king

<4428 melek > ,  and ministered <8334 sharath > to him : but the

king <4428 melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not .


 : 5 .  Then Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > exalted <5375 nasa> > himself ,  

saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will be king <4427 malak > : and he

prepared <6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen

<6571 parash > ,  and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh

 : 6 And his father <1> had not displeased <6087 <atsab > him at

any time <3117 yowm > in saying <0559 >amar > ,  Why <4069

madduwa< > hast thou done <6213 <asah > so <3602 kakah > ?  and

priest <3548 kohen > : and they following <0310 >achar >

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > helped <5826 <azar >  [ him ]  .


 : 8 But Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and

Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111

Yowyada< > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy>

the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men which <0834 >aher >  [ belonged ]

 to David <1732 David > ,  were not with Adonijah <0138

>Adoniyah > .


 : 9 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > slew <2076 zabach > sheep

<6629 tso>n > andoxen <1241 baqar > and fat <4806 m@riy> >

cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth ,  which

<0834 >aher >  [ is ]  by Enrogel <5883 <Eyn Rogel > ,  and

called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach >

the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,  and all <3605 kol >

the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king s

<4428 melek > servants <5650 <ebed > :


 : 10 But Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  

and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > ,  and the mighty <1368 gibbowr >

men ,  and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach > ,  

he called <7121 qara> > not .


 : 11 .  Wherefore Nathan <5416 Nathan > spake <0559 >amar >

unto Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Hast thou

not heard <8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son

<3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not ?


 : 12 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > ,  let me ,

  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  give thee counsel <6098 <etsah > ,  

that thou mayest save <4422 malat > thine own life <5315 nephesh

<8010 Sh@lomoh > .


 : 13 Go <3212 yalak > and get <0935 bow> > thee in unto king

<4428 melek > David <1732 David > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto

him ,  Didst not thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428

melek > ,  swear <7650 shaba< > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah

Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after

<0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my

throne <3678 kicce> > ?  why <4069 madduwa< > then doth Adonijah

<0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak > ?


 : 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  while thou yet <5750 <owd >

talkest <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428

melek > ,  I also will come <0935 bow> > in after <0310 >achar >

thee ,  and confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar > .


 : 15 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > went <0935 bow> > in

unto the king <4428 melek > into the chamber <2315 cheder > :

and the king <4428 melek > was very <3966 m@<od > old <2204

zaqen > ;  and Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >

ministered <8334 sharath > unto the king <4428 melek > .


 : 16 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > ,  

and did obeisance <7812 shachah > unto the king <4428 melek > .  

And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah

 : 17 And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  My lord <0113

Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak > ;  and now ,  

my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  thou knowest

<3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not :


 : 19 And he hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > and

fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n >

in abundance <7230 rob > ,  and hath called <7121 qara> > all

and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Joab <3097

Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > :

but Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he

not called <7121 qara> > .


 : 20 And thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek >

Yisra>el >  [ are ]  upon thee ,  that thou shouldest tell <5046

<al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the

king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him .


 : 21 Otherwise it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when my

lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > shall sleep <7901

shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  that I and my son <1121 ben >

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders <2400

 : 22 And ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  while she yet <5750 <owd >

talked <1696 dabar > with the king <4428 melek > ,  Nathan <5416

Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also came <0935 bow> > in .

saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > Nathan <5416

Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > .  And when he was come

he bowed <7812 shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king

<4428 melek > with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776

 : 24 And Nathan <5416 Nathan > said <0559 >amar > ,  My lord

after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon

my throne <3678 kicce> > ?


 : 25 For he is gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > this day

<3117 yowm > ,  and hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr >

and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629

,  and thy servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  

hath he not called <7121 qara> > .


 : 27 Is this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > done by my lord

shewed <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  

who <4310 miy > should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678

kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after

Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > .  And she came <0935 bow> >

 : 29 And the king <4428 melek > sware <7650 shaba< > ,  and

said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth

chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the

altar <4196 mizbeach > .


 : 51 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  

saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Adonijah <0138

<8010 Sh@lomoh > : for ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  he hath caught

<0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on the horns <7161 qeren > of

the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Let king

<4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > swear <7650 shaba< > unto

me to day that he will not slay <4191 muwth > his servant <5650

 : 52 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > ,  If

<0518 >im > he will shew himself a worthy <2428 chayil > man

<1121 ben > ,  there shall not an hair <8185 sa<arah > of him

him ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > .


 : 53 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971

shalach > ,  and they brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad

 : 1Kings 2


 : 1 .  Now the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > drew

nigh <7126 qarab >that he should die <4191 muwth > ;  and he

charged <6680 tsavah > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his son <1121

 : 2 I go <1980 halak > the way <1870 derek > of all <3605 kol >

therefore ,  and shew thyself a man <0376 >iysh > ;


 : 3 And keep <8104 shamar > the charge <4931 mishmereth > of

<8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,  that thou mayest

prosper <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213

 : 4 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > may continue <6965 quwm > his

word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar >

concerning <5921 <al > me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518

man <0376 >iysh > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


 : 5 Moreover <1571 gam > thou knowest <3045 yada< > also <1571

gam > what Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah

<6870 Ts@ruwyah > did <6213 <asah > to me ,   [ and ]  what

<0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > to the two <8147 sh@nayim >

captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > ,  unto Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369

Ner > ,  and unto Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of

Jether <3500 Yether > ,  whom he slew <2026 harag > ,  and shed

<7760 suwm > the blood <1818 dam > of war <4421 milchamah > in

peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and put <5414 nathan > the blood <1818

dam > of war <4421 milchamah > upon his girdle <2290 chagowr >

that  [ was ]  about his loins <4975 mothen > ,  and in his

shoes <5275 na<al > that  [ were ]  on his feet <7272 regel > .


 : 6 Do <6213 <asah > therefore according to thy wisdom <2451

yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > in peace

<7965 shalowm > .


 : 7 But shew <6213 <asah > kindness <2617 checed > unto the

sons <1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite

<1569 Gil<adiy > ,  and let them be of those that eat <0398

came <0935 bow> > to me when I fled <1272 barach > because <6440

paniym > of Absalom <53> thy brother <0251 >ach > .


 : 8 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ thou hast ]  with thee

Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > the son <1121 ben > of Gera <1617 Gera> >

,  a Benjamite <1145 Ben - y@miyniy > of Bahurim <0980 Bachuriym

<4834 marats > curse <7045 q@lalah > in the day <3117 yowm >

when I went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim > : but

he came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet <7125 qir>ah >

me at Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him

by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will

not put thee to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb

 : 9 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hold him not guiltless <5352

naqah > : forthou  [ art ]  a wise <2450 chakam > man <0376

 : 10 So David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892

<iyr > of David <1732 David > .


 : 11 And the days <3117 yowm > that David <1732 David > reigned

<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ were ]

 forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > : seven <7651

sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Hebron

<2275 Chebrown > ,  and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and three

<7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he

in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .


 : 12 .  Then sat <3427 yashab > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > upon

the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > his father <1> ;

  and his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > was established <3559 kuwn >

greatly <3966 m@<od > .


 : 13 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > came <0935 bow> > to Bathsheba <1339

Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

peaceably <7965 shalowm > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  

Peaceably <7965 shalowm > .


 : 14 He said <0559 >amar > moreover ,  I have somewhat to say

<1697 dabar > unto thee .  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Say

<1696 dabar > on .


 : 15 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou knowest <3045 yada< >

that the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine ,  and  [ that ]  all

<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > set <7760 suwm > their faces

<6440 paniym > on <5921 <al > me ,  that I should reign <4427

malak > : howbeit the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > is turned <5437

cabab > about <5437 cabab > ,  and is become <1961 hayah > my

brother s <0251 >ach > : for it was his from the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > .


 : 16 And now <6258 <attah > I ask <7592 sha>al > one <0259

me not .  And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Say <1696 dabar

 : 17 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Speak <0559 >amar > ,  I pray

<4994 na> > thee ,  unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the king <4428

melek > ,   ( for he will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay ,  )  

that he give <5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767

Shuwnammiyth > to wife <0802 >ishshah > .


 : 18 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > said <0559 >amar > ,  

Well <2896 towb > ;  I will speak <1696 dabar > for thee unto

the king <4428 melek > .


 : 19 Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > therefore went <0935 bow>

<1696 dabar > unto him for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > .  And the

king <4428 melek > rose <6965 quwm > up to meet <7125 qir>ah >

her ,  and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her ,  and sat

<3427 yashab > down on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  

and caused a seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the

king s <4428 melek > mother <0517 >em > ;  and she sat <3427

yashab > on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand .


 : 20 Then she said <0559 >amar > ,  I desire <7592 sha>al > one

<0259 >echad > small <6996 qatan > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of

thee ;   [ I pray thee ]  ,  say <0559 >amar > me not nay <6440

paniym > .  And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto

her ,  Ask <7592 sha>al > on ,  my mother <0517 >em > : for I

will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay .


 : 21 And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Let Abishag <49> the

Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > be given <5414 nathan > to

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife

<0802 >ishshah > .


 : 22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered

<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto his mother <0517 >em >

,  And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49>

the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah

also ;  for he  [ is ]  mine elder <1419 gadowl > brother <0251

kohen > ,  and for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of

Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > .


 : 23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware

<7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar

<3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > ,  if <3588 kiy > Adonijah <0138

>Adoniyah > have not spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word

<1697 dabar > against his own life <5315 nephesh > .


 : 24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,   [ as ]  the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  which <0834 >aher > hath

established <3559 kuwn > me ,  and set <3427 yashab > me on

<5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > my

father <1> ,  and who <0834 >aher > hath made <6213 <asah > me

an house <1004 bayith > ,  as he promised <1696 dabar > ,  

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall be put to death <4191 muwth >

this day <3117 yowm > .


 : 25 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971

shalach > by the hand <3027 yad > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the

son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ;  and he fell

<6293 paga< > upon him that he died <4191 muwth > .


 : 26 .  And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said

<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Get <3212 yalak > thee

to Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > ,  unto thine own fields <7704

sadeh > ;  for thou  [ art ]  worthy <0376 >iysh > of death

<4194 maveth > : but I will not at this <2088 zeh > time <3117

yowm > put thee to death <4191 muwth > ,  because <3588 kiy >

thou barest <5375 nasa> > the ark <0727 >arown > of the Lord

<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > before <6440 paniym > David

<1732 David > my father <1> ,  and because <3588 kiy > thou hast

been afflicted <6031 <anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834

>aher > my father <1> was afflicted <6031 <anah > .


 : 27 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thrust <1644 garash > out

Abiathar <54> from being <1961 hayah > priest <3548 kohen > unto

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  that he might fulfil <4390 male> >

the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which

<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the

house <1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887

Shiyloh > .


 : 28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab

<3097 Yow>ab > : for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > had turned <5186 natah

turned <5186 natah > not after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53> .  

And Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle

<0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and caught <2388

chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the

altar <4196 mizbeach > .


 : 29 And it was told <5046 nagad > king <4428 melek > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > was fled <5127 nuwc >

unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  

and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ he is ]  by the altar <4196

mizbeach > .  Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach >

Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111

Yowyada< > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  fall

<6293 paga< > upon him .


 : 30 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > came <0935 bow> > to the

tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said

<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the king <4428 melek > ,  Come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

die <4191 muwth > here <6311 poh > .  And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah

he answered <6030 <anah > me .


 : 31 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  

Do <6213 <asah > as he hath said <1696 dabar > ,  and fall <6293

paga< > upon him ,  and bury <6912 qabar > him ;  that thou

mayest take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the innocent <2600

chinnam > blood <1818 dam > ,  which <0834 >aher > Joab <3097

Yow>ab > shed <8210 shaphak > ,  from me ,  and from the house

<1004 bayith > of my father <1> .


 : 32 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb >

his blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > ,  who

<4310 miy > fell <6293 paga< > upon two <8147 sh@nayim > men

<0582 >enowsh > more righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and better <2896

towb > than he ,  and slew <2026 harag > them with the sword

<2719 chereb > ,  my father <1> David <1732 David > not knowing

<3045 yada< >  [ thereof ,  to wit ]  ,  Abner <74> the son

<1121 ben > of Ner <5369 Ner > ,  captain <8269 sar > of the

host <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and Amasa

<6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of Jether <3500 Yether > ,  

captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > .


 : 33 Their blood <1818 dam > shall therefore return <7725 shuwb

the head <7218 ro>sh > of his seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769

<2233 zera< > ,  and upon his house <1004 bayith > ,  and upon

his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  shall there be peace <7965 shalowm

 : 34 So Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada

<3111 Yowyada< > went <5927 <alah > up ,  and fell <6293 paga< >

upon him ,  and slew <4191 muwth > him : and he was buried <6912

qabar > in his own house <1004 bayith > in the wilderness <4057

midbar > .


 : 35 .  And the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > Benaiah

in his room <8478 tachath > over <5921 <al > the host <6635

tsaba> > : and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen >

did the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > in the room <8478

tachath > of Abiathar <54> .


 : 36 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called

<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and said <0559 >amar

 : 37 For it shall be ,   [ that ]  on the day <3117 yowm > thou

shalt surely die <4191 muwth > : thy blood <1818 dam > shall be

upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > .


 : 38 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > said <0559 >amar > unto the

king <4428 melek > ,  The saying <1697 dabar >  [ is ]  good

 : 39 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7093 qets >

of three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > ,  that two <8147

 : 40 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and

saddled <2280 chabash > his ass <2543 chamowr > ,  and went

<3212 yalak > to Gath <1661 Gath > to Achish <0397 >Akiysh > to

 : 12 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have done <6213 <asah >

according to thy words <1697 dabar > : lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I

have given <5414 nathan > thee a wise <2450 chakam > and an

 : 13 And I have also <1571 gam > given <5414 nathan > thee that

so that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings

 : 14 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my ways

<1870 derek > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq >

and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  as thy father <1> David

<1732 David > did walk <1980 halak > ,  then I will lengthen

<0748 >arak > thy days <3117 yowm > .


 : 15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > awoke <3364 yaqats > ;  and ,

 : 3 Thou knowest <3045 yada< > how that David <1732 David > my

 : 14 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > the house

 : 20 And twelve lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 <amad > there

<8033 sham > on the one <2088 zeh > side and on the other <2088

 : 21 And all <3605 kol > king <4428 melek > Solomon s <8010

Sh@lomoh > drinking <4945 mashqeh > vessels <3627 k@liy >  [

silver <3701 keceph > : it was nothing accounted <2803 chashab >

earth <0776 >erets > for riches <6239 <osher > and for wisdom

 : 26 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gathered <0622 >acaph >

together chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash > :

and he had a thousand <0505 >eleph > and four <0702 >arba< >

 : 2 Of the nations <1471 gowy >  [ concerning ]  which <0834

they will turn <5186 natah > away your heart <3824 lebab > after

Sh@lomoh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto these <1992 hem > in love

<0160 >ahabah > .


 : 3 And he had <1961 hayah > seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967

and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > concubines

<6370 piylegesh > : and his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186

 : 4 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <6256 <eth >

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah > ,   [ that ]  

his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart

<3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods

<0430 >elohiym > : and his heart <3824 lebab > was not perfect

<8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430

<1732 David > his father <1> .


 : 5 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > after <0310

 : 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451

ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  

and went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD

 : 7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an

high <1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > ,  the

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  in the

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the children <1121 ben > of

Ammon <5983 <Ammown > .


 : 8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076

zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym > .


 : 9 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was angry <0599 >anaph >

with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  because <3588 kiy > his heart

<3824 lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  

which had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him twice <6471 pa<am > ,


 : 10 And had commanded <6680 tsavah > him concerning <5921 <al

<0430 >elohiym > : but he kept <8104 shamar > not that which

<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > .

 


 : 11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559

zo>th > is done of thee ,  and thou hast not kept <8104 shamar >

my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  

which <0834 >aher > I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee ,  I

will surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from

thee ,  and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650

 : 12 Notwithstanding <0389 >ak > in thy days <3117 yowm > I

will not do <6213 <asah > it for David <1732 David > thy father

it out of the hand <3027 yad > of thy son <1121 ben > .


 : 13 Howbeit <7535 raq > I will not rend <7167 qara< > away all

<3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ;   [ but ]  will give

<5414 nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > to thy

 : 14 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <6965 quwm > up an

adversary <7854 satan > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  Hadad

<1908 Hadad > the Edomite <0130 >Edomiy > : he  [ was ]  of the

king s <4428 melek > seed <2233 zera< > in Edom <0123 >Edom > .


 : 15 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when David <1732

David > was in Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the

captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was gone <5927

after he had smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145

 : 16  ( For six <8337 shesh > months <2320 chodesh > did Joab

cut <3772 karath > off every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in

Edom <0123 >Edom > :  )


 : 17 That Hadad <1908 Hadad > fled <1272 barach > ,  he and

certain <0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father s <1> servants

<5650 <ebed > with him ,  to go <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim > ;  Hadad <1908 Hadad >  [ being ]  yet a little

 : 18 And they arose <6965 quwm > out of Midian <4080 Midyan > ,

 and came <0935 bow> > to Paran <6290 Pa>ran > : and they took

<3947 laqach > men <0582 >enowsh > with them out of Paran <6290

<1004 bayith > ,  and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899

lechem > ,  and gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets > .


 : 19 And Hadad <1908 Hadad > found <4672 matsa> > great <3966

m@<od > favour <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of

Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  so that he gave <5414 nathan > him to

wife <0802 >ishshah > the sister <0269 >achowth > of his own

wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes

<8472 Tachp@neyc > the queen <1377 g@biyrah > .


 : 20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472

Tachp@neyc > bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath >

his son <1121 ben > ,  whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned

and Genubath <1592 G@nubath > was in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh >

household <1004 bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben

 : 21 And when Hadad <1908 Hadad > heard <8085 shama< > in Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim > that David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab >

with his fathers <1> ,  and that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain

<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was dead <4191 muwth > ,  

Hadad <1908 Hadad > said <0559 >amar > to Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >

,  Let me depart <7971 shalach > ,  that I may go <3212 yalak >

to mine own country <0776 >erets > .


 : 22 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  

But what <4100 mah > hast thou lacked <2638 chacer > with me ,  

that ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou seekest <1245 baqash > to

go <3212 yalak > to thine own country <0776 >erets > ?  And he

answered <0559 >amar > ,  Nothing <3808 lo> > : howbeit let me

go <7971 shalach > in any wise .


 : 23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up  [

another ]  adversary <7854 satan > ,  Rezon <7331 R@zown > the

son <1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< > ,  which <0834 >aher

<1909 Hadad<ezer > king <4428 melek > of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > :


 : 24 And he gathered <6908 qabats > men <0582 >enowsh > unto

him ,  and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band

<1416 g@duwd > ,  when David <1732 David > slew <2026 harag >

them  [ of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > ]  : and they went <3212 yalak

 : 25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel <3478

Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< >

<5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > .


 : 26 .  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of

Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  an Ephrathite <0673 >Ephrathiy > of

Zereda ,  Solomon s <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 <ebed > ,  

whose mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  Zeruah ,  

a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  even he

lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad > against the

king <4428 melek > .


 : 27 And this <2088 zeh >  [ was ]  the cause <1697 dabar >

that he lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad >

against the king <4428 melek > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built

<1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> > ,   [ and ]  repaired <5462

cagar > the breaches <6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of

David <1732 David > his father <1> .


 : 28 And the man <0376 >iysh > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >  [ was

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > seeing <7200 ra>ah > the young <5288

 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at that time <6256 <eth

 : 31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,  

Take <3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< > :

 : 33 Because that they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and

have worshipped <7812 shachah > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth >

the goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,

  Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the

Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god

 : 34 Howbeit I will not take <3947 laqach > the whole kingdom

 : 40 Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sought <1245 baqash > therefore

to kill <4191 muwth > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > .  And Jeroboam

<3379 Yarob<am > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and fled <1272 barach >

into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  unto Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq >

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > until <5704 <ad > the death <4194 maveth

 : 41 .  And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar >

of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did

<6213 <asah > ,  and his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,   [ are ]  

they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of

the acts <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ?


 : 42 And the time <3117 yowm > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >

reigned <4427 malak > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > over

<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  

forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > .


 : 43 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892

<iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1> : and Rehoboam

<7346 R@chab<am > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in

his stead <8478 tachath > .


 : 1Kings 12


 : 1 .  And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > went <3212 yalak > to

 : 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jeroboam <3379

Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  who

<1931 huw> > was yet <5750 <owd > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  

heard <8085 shama< >  [ of it ]  ,   ( for he was fled <1272

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > dwelt

 : 3 That they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him

.  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the

congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935

bow> > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am

 : 4 Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol > grievous <7185

qashah > : now <6258 <attah > therefore make thou the grievous

<7186 qasheh > service <5656 <abodah > of thy father <1> ,  and

his heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > he

put <5414 nathan > upon us ,  lighter <7043 qalal > ,  and we

will serve <5647 <abad > thee .


 : 5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Depart <3212 yalak >

yet <5750 <owd >  [ for ]  three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117

yowm > ,  then come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to me .  

And the people <5971 <am > departed <3212 yalak > .


 : 6 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > consulted

<3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men ,  that stood

<5975 <amad > before Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his father <1>

while he yet lived <2416 chay > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  How

<0349 >eyk > do ye advise <3289 ya<ats > that I may answer <1697

dabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ?


 : 7 And they spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar

this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > this <2088 zeh > day <3117

<anah > them ,  and speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > words

<1697 dabar > to them ,  then they will be thy servants <5650

<ebed > for ever .


 : 8 But he forsook <5800 <azab > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of

the old <2205zaqen > men ,  which <0834 >aher > they had given

<3289 ya<ats > him ,  and consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the

young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 gadal > up with

him ,   [ and ]  which <0834 >aher > stood <5975 <amad > before

<6440 paniym > him :


 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah >

counsel <3289 ya<ats > give ye that we may answer <1697 dabar >

this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  who <0834 >aher > have

spoken <1696 dabar > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Make the

yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > thy father <1> did put

<5414 nathan > upon us lighter <7043 qalal > ?


 : 10 And the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431

gadal > up with him spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559

>amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou speak <0559 >amar > unto

this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > that spake <1696 dabar >

unto thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thy father <1> made our

yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,  but make thou  [ it ]  

lighter <7043 qalal > unto us ;  thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say

<0559 >amar > unto them ,  My little <6996 qatan >  [ finger ]  

shall be thicker <5666 <abah > than my father s <1> loins <4975

mothen > .


 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > whereas my father <1> did lade

<6006 <amac > you with a heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > ,  

I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father

<1> hath chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips <7752 showt > ,  

but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions <6137

<aqrab > .


 : 12 So Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the

people <5971 <am > came <0935 bow> > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am

<7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > .


 : 13 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > the

people <5971 <am > roughly <7186 qasheh > ,  and forsook <5800

<azab > the old <2205 zaqen > men s counsel <6098 <etsah > that

they gave <3289 ya<ats > him ;


 : 14 And spake <1696 dabar > to them after the counsel <6098

<etsah > of the young <3206 yeled > men ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

  My father <1> made your yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,

 and I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my

father <1>  [ also ]  chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips

<7752 showt > ,  but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with

scorpions <6137 <aqrab > .


 : 15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened

<8085 shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am > ;  for the cause

<5438 cibbah > was from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that he

might perform <6965 quwm > his saying <1697 dabar > ,  which

<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > by

Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > unto

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028

N@bat > .


 : 16 .  So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saw

<7200 ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama<

the king <4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah

neither <3808 lo> >  [ have we ]  inheritance <5159 nachalah >

<0168 >ohel > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : now <6258 <attah >

see <7200 ra>ah > to thine own house <1004 bayith > ,  David

<1732 David > .  So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak

 : 17 But  [ as for ]  the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > which dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr >

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > reigned

<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > them .


 : 18 Then king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > sent

<7971 shalach > Adoram <0151 >Adoram > ,  who <0834 >aher >  [

was ]  over <5921 <al > the tribute <4522 mac > ;  and all <3605

kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > stoned <7275 ragam > him with

stones <68> ,  that he died <4191 muwth > .  Therefore king

<4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats

to flee <5127 nuwc > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .


 : 19 So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against

the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > unto this <2088

zeh > day <3117 yowm > .


 : 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when all <3605 kol >

Israel <3478Yisra>el > heard <8085 shama< > that Jeroboam <3379

Yarob<am > was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > ,  that

they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him unto the

congregation <5712 <edah > ,  and made him king <4427 malak >

over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : there

was none <3808 lo> > that followed <0310 >achar > the house

<1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ,  but the tribe <7626

shebet > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad > .


 : 21 And when Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > was come <0935 bow> >

to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  he assembled <6950 qahal >

all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

,  an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym >

thousand <0505 >eleph > chosen <0970 bachuwr > men ,  which were

warriors ,  to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the

house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  to bring

<7725 shuwb > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again <7725 shuwb >

to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > .


 : 22 But the word <1697 dabar > of God <0430 >elohiym > came

<1961 hayah > unto Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the man <0376

 : 23 Speak <0559 >amar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > ,  the

son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  king <4428 melek

house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Benjamin

<1144 Binyamiyn > ,  and to the remnant <3499 yether > of the

people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,


 : 24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ,  Ye shall not go <5927 <alah > up ,  nor <3808 lo> >

fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > your brethren <0251

return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004

  They hearkened <8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .


 : 25 .  Then Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > built <1129 banah >

Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > in mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

>Ephrayim > ,  and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein ;  and went

<3318 yatsa> > out from thence <8033 sham > ,  and built <1129

banah > Penuel <6439 P@nuw>el > .


 : 26 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > in his

heart <3820 leb > ,  Now <6258 <attah > shall the kingdom <4467

mamlakah > return <7725 shuwb > to the house <1004 bayith > of

the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > at

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  then shall the heart <3820 leb

 unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah

go again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .


 : 28 Whereupon the king <4428 melek > took counsel <3289 ya<ats

<egel >  [ of ]  gold <2091 zahab > ,  and said <0559 >amar >

unto them ,  It is too much <7227 rab > for you to go <5927

hinneh > thy gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

  which <0834 >aher > brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of the

land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .


 : 29 And he set <7760 suwm > the one <0259 >echad > in Bethel

<1008 Beyth - >El > ,  and the other <0259 >echad > put <5414

nathan > he in Dan <1835 Dan > .


 : 30 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961

hayah > a sin <2403 chatta>ah > : for the people <5971 <am >

went <3212 yalak >  [ to worship ]  before <6440 paniym > the

one <0259 >echad > ,   [ even ]  unto Dan <1835 Dan > .


 : 31 And he made <6213 <asah > an house <1004 bayith > of high

<1116 bamah > places ,  and made <6213 <asah > priests <3548

kohen > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people <5971 <am > ,

 which <0834 >aher > were not of the sons <1121 ben > of Levi

<3878 Leviy > .


 : 32 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ordained <6213 <asah > a

feast <2282 chag > in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320

 : 2 And he cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar

 : 5 The altar <4196 mizbeach > also was rent <7167 qara< > ,

Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr > .  So they

saddled <2280 chabash > him the ass <2543 chamowr > : and he

 : 18 He said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  I  [ am ]  a prophet

 : 33 After <0310 >achar > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > returned <7725 shuwb > not from his

 : 16 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn >

 : 18 Then Asa <0609 >Aca> > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol >

 : 20 So Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto

 : 1Kings 16


 : 1 .  Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came <1961 hayah > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of

 : 5 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

 : 6 So Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slept <7901 shakab > with his

 : 7 And also <1571 gam > by the hand <3027 yad > of the prophet

<5030 nabiy> > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Hanani

<2607 Chananiy > came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of

even for all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that he did <6213

 in provoking him to anger <3707 ka<ac > with the work <4639

 : 8 In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and sixth <8337 shesh > year

<8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > began Elah <0425 >Elah > the son <1121 ben > of

Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > ,  two years

 : 9 And his servant <5650 <ebed > Zimri <2174 Zimriy > ,  

captain <8269 sar > of half <4276 machatsiyth >  [ his ]  

chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921

 : 10 And Zimri <2174 Zimriy > went <0935 bow> > in and smote

twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141

 : 11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when he began to

reign <4427 malak > ,  as soon as he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921

<al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,   [ that ]  he slew <5221

<8366 shathan > against a wall <7023 qiyr > ,  neither of his

kinsfolks <1350 ga>al > ,  nor of his friends <7453 rea< > .


 : 12 Thus did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > destroy <8045 shamad > all

<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > ,

 according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

 : 14 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Elah <0425 >Elah > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > reign <4427

 : 16 And the people <5971 <am >  [ that were ]  encamped <2583

Zimriy > hath conspired <7194 qashar > ,  and hath also <1571

the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > ,  king <4427

malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117

 : 17 And Omri <6018 <Omriy > went <5927 <alah > up from

Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > ,  and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478

Yisra>el > with him ,  and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > Tirzah

<8656 Tirtsah > .


 : 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Zimri <2174

Zimriy > saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 <iyr > was taken

<3920 lakad > ,  that he went <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the

,  and died <4191 muwth > ,


 : 19 For his sins <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > he

sinned <2398 chata> > in doing <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in

the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  in

walking <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379

<2398 chata> > .


 : 20 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Zimri <2174 Zimriy > ,  and his treason <7195 qesher > that he

wrought <7194 qashar > ,   [ are ]  they not written <3789

kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697

 : 21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > divided <2505 chalaq > into two <2677 chetsiy >

parts <2677 chetsiy > : half <2677 chetsiy > of the people <5971

<1527 Giynath > ,  to make him king <4427 malak > ;  and half

<2677 chetsiy > followed <0310 >achar > Omri <6018 <Omriy > .


 : 22 But the people <5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar >

Omri <6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people

<5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Tibni <8402 Tibni > the

son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath > : so Tibni <8402 Tibni

and did worse <7489 ra<a< > than all <3605 kol > that  [ were ]

 : 26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way

<1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >

of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah >

with their vanities <1892 hebel > .


 : 27 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Omri <6018 <Omriy > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > ,

 : 28 So Omri <6018 <Omriy > slept <7901 shakab > with his

[ were ]  before <6440 paniym > him .


 : 31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as if it had been a

light <7043 qalal > thing for him to walk <3212 yalak > in the

sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .


 : 33 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842

 : 13 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  

Fear <3372 yare> > not ;  go <0935 bow> >  [ and ]  do <6213

unto me ,  and after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 <asah > for

thee and for thy son <1121 ben > .


 : 14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  The

barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > shall not waste <3615

 : 15 And she went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according

to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > : and she ,

  and he ,  and her house <1004 bayith > ,  did <6213 <asah >

eat <0398 >akal >  [ many ]  days <3117 yowm > .


 : 16  [ And ]  the barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach >

wasted <3615 kalah > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > did the cruse

<6835 tsappachath > of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2638 chacer > ,  

according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Elijah <0452

 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar >

these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  the

son <1121 ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  the mistress

<1172 ba<alah > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  fell sick <2470

chalah > ;  and his sickness <2483 choliy > was so <3966 m@<od >

sore <2389 chazaq > ,  that there was no <3808 lo> > breath

<5397 n@shamah > left <3498 yathar > in him .


 : 18 And she said <0559 >amar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  

What <4100 mah > have I to do with thee ,  O thou man <0376

unto me to call <2142 zakar > my sin <5771 <avon > to

remembrance <2142 zakar > ,  and to slay <4191 muwth > my son

<1121 ben > ?


 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Give <5414 nathan >

me thy son <1121 ben > .  And he took <3947 laqach > him out of

her bosom <2436 cheyq > ,  and carried <5927 <alah > him up into

<0413 >el > a loft <5944 <aliyah > ,  where he abode <3427

yashab > ,  and laid <7901 shakab > him upon his own bed <4296

 : 20 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

 and said <0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430

widow <0490 >almanah > with whom <0834 >aher > I sojourn <1481

 : 21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child

<3206 yeled > three<7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > ,  and

cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said

<0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > ,

 : 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > heard <8085 shama< > the

voice <6963 qowl > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ;  and the soul

<5315 nephesh > of the child <3206 yeled > came <7725 shuwb >

into <5921 <al > him again <7725 shuwb > ,  and he revived <2421

 : 23 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > the child

<3206 yeled > ,  and brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad

 : 24 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > to

Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  Now <6258 <attah > by this <2088 zeh >

I know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  a man <0376 >iysh > of

God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ and ]  that the word <1697 dabar > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh >  [ is ]  truth

<0571 >emeth > .


 : 1Kings 18


 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass  [ after ]  many <7227

rab > days <3117 yowm > ,  that the word <1697 dabar > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah

<0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  shew <7200 ra>ah > thyself

unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ;  and I will send <5414 nathan > rain

<4306 matar > upon the earth <0127 >adamah > .


 : 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > to shew <7200

ra>ah > himself unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > .  And  [ there was ]  

a sore <2389 chazaq > famine <7458 ra<ab > in Samaria <8111

Shom@rown > .


 : 3 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > called <7121 qara> > Obadiah <5662

<Obadyah > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  the governor <5921

<al > of  [ his ]  house <1004 bayith > .   ( Now Obadiah <5662

<Obadyah > feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > greatly

<3966 m@<od > :


 : 4 For it was  [ so ]  ,  when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > cut

<3772 karath > off the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ,  that Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > took <3947 laqach >

an hundred <3967 me>ah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and hid

<2244> them by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631

m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem >

and water <4325 mayim > .  )


 : 5 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto Obadiah

<5662 <Obadyah > ,  Go <3212 yalak > into the land <0776 >erets

<4325 mayim > ,  and unto all brooks <5158 nachal > :

peradventure <0194 >uwlay > we may find <4672 matsa> > grass

<2682 chatsiyr > to save <2421 chayah > the horses <5483 cuwc >

and mules <6505 pered > alive <2421 chayah > ,  that we lose

<3772 karath > not all <3605 kol > the beasts <0929 b@hemah > .


 : 6 So they divided <2505 chalaq > the land <0776 >erets >

between them to pass <5674 <abar > throughout it : Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > went <1980 halak > one <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek

another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself .


 : 7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way <1870 derek

> ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > met <7125

qir>ah > him : and he knew <5234 nakar > him ,  and fell <5307

naphal > on <5921 <al > his face <6440 paniym > ,  and said

<0559 >amar > ,   [ Art ]  thou that my lord <0113 >adown >

Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ?


 : 8 And he answered <0559 >amar > him ,  I  [ am ]  : go <3212

yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  Behold

<2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  .


 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > have I sinned

<2398 chata> > ,  that thou wouldest deliver <5414 nathan > thy

servant <5650 <ebed > into the hand <3027 yad > of Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > ,  to slay <4191 muwth > me ?


 : 10  [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >

liveth <2416 chay > ,  there is no <0518 >im > nation <1471 gowy

hath not sent <7971 shalach > to seek <1245 baqash > thee : and

when they said <0559 >amar > ,   [ He is ]  not  [ there ]  ;  

he took an oath <7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah >

and nation <1471 gowy > ,  that they found <4672 matsa> > thee

not .


 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go

<3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <3068 Y@hovah > ,  

Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  .


 : 12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ as soon as ]

 I am gone <3212 yalak > from thee ,  that the Spirit <7307

ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry <5375 nasa> >

thee whither I know <3045 yada< > not ;  and  [ so ]  when I

come <0935 bow> > and tell <5046 nagad > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  

and he cannot <3808 lo> > find <4672 matsa> > thee ,  he shall

slay <2026 harag > me : but I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear

<3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from my youth <5271

na<uwr > .


 : 13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 >adown > what

I did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026

harag > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

  how I hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of

the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty

<2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557

kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > ?


 : 14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go

<3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  

Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  :

and he shall slay <2026 harag > me .


 : 15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416

chay > ,  before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975

<amad > ,  I will surely <3588 kiy > shew <7200 ra>ah > myself

unto him to day <3117 yowm > .


 : 16 So Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <3212 yalak > to meet

<7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and told <5046 nagad >

him : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125

qir>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > .


 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  that Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,   [ Art ]  thou he

that troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?


 : 18 And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have not troubled <5916

<akar > Israel<3478 Yisra>el > ;  but thou ,  and thy father s

<1> house <1004 bayith > ,  in that ye have forsaken <5800 <azab

 and thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al > .


 : 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore send <7971 shalach > ,   [

and ]  gather <6908 qabats > to me all <3605 kol > Israel <3478

Yisra>el > unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > ,  and

the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > four <0702

>arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > ,  

and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah >

four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > ,  which eat <0398

>akal > at Jezebel s <0348 >Iyzebel > table <7979 shulchan > .


 : 20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all

<3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

  and gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

together unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > .


 : 21 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  

How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between

<5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph > ?  if

<0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ be ]  God <0430 >elohiym

then ]  follow him .  And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030

<anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > .


 : 22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the

people <5971 <am > ,  I ,   [ even ]  I only <0905 bad > ,  

remain <3498 yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ;  but Baal s <1168 Ba<al > prophets <5030 nabiy> >  [

are ]  four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572

chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > .


 : 23 Let them therefore give <5414 nathan > us two <8147

sh@nayim > bullocks <6499 par > ;  and let them choose <0977

bachar > one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for themselves

<1992 hem > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > it in pieces ,  and lay

<7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and

put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh >  [ under ]  :

and I will dress <6213 <asah > the other <0259 >echad > bullock

<6499 par > ,  and lay <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood

<6086 <ets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784

 : 24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your

gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and I will call <7121 qara> > on the

name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and the God

<0430 >elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh

people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >

,  It is well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar > .


 : 25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  Choose <0977

bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for

<7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430

 : 26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which

was given <5414 nathan > them ,  and they dressed <6213 <asah >  

[ it ]  ,  and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of

Baal <1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704

<ad > noon <6672 tsohar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  O Baal

<1168 Ba<al > ,  hear <6030 <anah > us .  But  [ there was ]  no

<0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > any that

answered <6030 <anah > .  And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon

the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > was made <6213

<asah > .


 : 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar > ,

 that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them ,  and

said <0559 >amar > ,  Cry <7121 qara> > aloud : for he  [ is ]  

a god <0430 >elohiym > ;  either <3588 kiy > he is talking <7879

siyach > ,  or he is pursuing <7873 siyg > ,  or he is in a

journey <1870 derek > ,   [ or ]  peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he

sleepeth <3463 yashen > ,  and must be awaked <3364 yaqats > .


 : 28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud ,  and cut <1413 gadad

<2719 chereb > and lancets <7420 romach > ,  till <5704 <ad >

the blood <1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them .


 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when midday <6672

tsohar > was past <5674 <abar > ,  and they prophesied <5012

naba> > until <5704 <ad > the  [ time ]  of the offering <5927

[ there was ]  neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor

<0369 >ayin > any to answer <6030 <anah > ,  nor <0369 >ayin >

any that regarded <7182 qesheb > .


 : 30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  Come <5066 nagash > near

<5066 nagash > unto me .  And all <3605 kol > the people <5971

<am > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto him .  And he

repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >  [ that was ]  broken <2040 harac > down .


 : 31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve

stones <68> ,  according to the number <4557 micpar > of the

tribes <7626 shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290

Ya<aqob > ,  unto whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > ,  saying <0559

 : 32 And with the stones <68> he built <1129 banah > an altar

<4196 mizbeach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > : and he made <6213 <asah > a trench <8585 t@<alah >

about <5439 cabiyb > the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  as great

<1004 bayith > as would contain <1004 bayith > two measures

<5429 c@>ah > of seed <2233 zera< > .


 : 33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order

<6186 <arak > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par >

in pieces ,  and laid <7760 suwm >  [ him ]  on <5921 <al > the

wood <6086 <ets > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Fill <4390 male>

 : 34 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the second <8138

time .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the third <8027

 : 35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439

 : 11 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ was ]  not in the wind <7307 ruwach > :

 : 14 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I have been very jealous

 : 15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

 Go <3212 yalak > ,  return <7725 shuwb > on thy way <1870 derek

Hazael <2371 Chaza>el >  [ to be ]  king <4428 melek > over

<5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > :


 : 16 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi

<5250 Nimshiy > shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach >  [ to be ]  

king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

 : 18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar >  [ me ]  seven <7651 sheba<

cast <7993 shalak > his mantle <0155 >addereth > upon him .


 : 20 And he left <5800 <azab > the oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and

ran <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,

 : 13 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came <5066 nagash >

a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428

<3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .


 : 14 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > ,  By whom

<4310 miy > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh >

<4310 miy > shall order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah

 : 15 Then he numbered <6485 paqad > the young <5288 na<ar > men

of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  

and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me>ah > and

thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > two <8147 sh@nayim > : and after

<0310 >achar > them he numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol >

the people <5971 <am > ,   [ even ]  all <3605 kol > the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ being ]  

seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > .


 : 16 And they went <3318 yatsa> > out at noon <6672 tsohar > .  

But Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad >  [ was ]  drinking <8354

shathah > himself drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the pavilions <5521

helped <5826 <azar > him .


 : 17 And the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar >

of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > went <3318 yatsa> > out first

<7223 ri>shown > ;  and Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > sent <7971

 : 19 So these <0428 >el - leh > young <5288 na<ar > men of the

princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > came <3318

yatsa> > out of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and the army <2428

fled <5127 nuwc > ;  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > escaped <4422 malat > on <5921

 : 21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went

<3318 yatsa> > out ,  and smote <5221 nakah > the horses <5483

cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and slew <5221 nakah > the

Syrians <0758 >Aram > with a great <1419 gadowl > slaughter

<4347 makkah > .


 : 22 .  And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > to

the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said

 : 23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king <4428 melek >

of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Their gods

<0430 >elohiym >  [ are ]  gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills

<4334 miyshowr > ,  and surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger

<2388 chazaq > than they .


 : 24 And do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ,

  Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away ,  every <0376

put <7760 suwm > captains <6346 pechah > in their rooms <8478

 : 25 And number <4487 manah > thee an army <2428 chayil > ,

surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they

.  And he hearkened <8085 shama< > unto their voice <6963 qowl >

,  and did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .


 : 26 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the return <8666

t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh > ,  that Benhadad <1130

Ben - Hadad > numbered <6485 paqad > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,

 and went <5927 <alah > up to Aphek <0663 >Apheq > ,  to fight

<4421 milchamah > against <5973 <im > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


 : 27 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

were numbered <6485 paqad > ,  and were all present <3557 kuwl >

,  and went <3212 yalak > against <7125 qir>ah > them : and the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pitched <2583

chanah > before <5048 neged > them like two <8147 sh@nayim >

little <2835 chasiph > flocks <2835 chasiph > of kids <5795 <ez

country <0776 >erets > .


 : 28 And there came <5066 nagash > a man <0376 >iysh > of God

<0430 >elohiym > ,  and spake <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said ,  Thus <3541 koh

Syrians <0758 >Aram > have said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068

Y@hovah >  [ is ]  God <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022 har >

 : 29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over

<5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other <0428 >el - leh

  that in the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > day <3117 yowm > the

battle <4421 milchamah > was joined <7126 qarab > : and the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > slew <5221 nakah

<0505 >eleph > footmen <7273 ragliy > in one <0259 >echad > day

<3117 yowm > .


 : 30 But the rest <3498 yathar > fled <5127 nuwc > to Aphek

<0663 >Apheq > ,  into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ;  and  

[ there ]  a wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon

twenty <6242 <esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505

>eleph > of the men <0376 >iysh >  [ that were ]  left <3498

yathar > .  And Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > fled <5127 nuwc > ,

 and came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ,  

into <0413 >el > an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > .

 


 : 31 .  And his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > unto

him ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  we have heard

<8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > of the house <1004

bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ are ]  merciful <2617

checed > kings <4428 melek > : let us ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee

,  put <7760 suwm > sackcloth <8242 saq > on our loins <4975

mothen > ,  and ropes <2256 chebel > upon our heads <7218 ro>sh

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will

save <2421 chayah > thy life <5315 nephesh > .


 : 32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on

their loins <4975 mothen > ,  and  [ put ]  ropes <2256 chebel >

on their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to the

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said <0559

<2421 chayah > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,   [ Is ]  he yet

<3588 kiy > alive <2416 chay > ?  he  [ is ]  my brother <0251

 : 33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently <5172 nachash >

observe <5172 nachash > whether  [ any thing would come ]  from

him ,  and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat >  [ it

]  : and they said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy brother <0251 >ach >

Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > .  Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go

<0935 bow> > ye ,  bring <3947 laqach > him .  Then Benhadad

<1130 Ben - Hadad > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to

him ;  and he caused him to come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al

 : 34 And  [ Benhadad ]  said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  The

cities <5892 <iyr > ,  which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took

<3947 laqach > from thy father <1> ,  I will restore <7725 shuwb

thee in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  as my father <1> made <7760

suwm > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .  Then  [ said Ahab ]  ,  I

will send <7971 shalach > thee away with this covenant <1285

b@riyth > .  So he made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth

 : 35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons

<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar >

unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > me ,  I pray <4994

na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > refused <3985 ma>en > to

smite <5221 nakah > him .


 : 36 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto him ,  Because thou hast

not obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  as soon as thou art

departed <1980 halak > from me ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > shall

slay <5221 nakah > thee .  And as soon as he was departed <3212

yalak > from him ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > found <4672 matsa> >

him ,  and slew <5221 nakah > him .


 : 37 Then he found <4672 matsa> > another <0312 >acher > man

<0376 >iysh > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Smite <5221 nakah >

me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > smote

<5221 nakah > him ,  so that in smiting <5221 nakah > he wounded

<6481 patsa< >  [ him ]  .


 : 38 So the prophet <5030 nabiy> > departed <3212 yalak > ,  

and waited <5975 <amad > for the king <4428 melek > by the way

<1870 derek > ,  and disguised <2664 chaphas > himself with

ashes <0665 >epher > upon his face <5869 <ayin > .


 : 39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 <abar > by ,  

he cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek > : and he

said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318

yatsa> > out into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421

milchamah > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a man <0376 >iysh

silver <3701 keceph > .


 : 40 And as thy servant <5650 <ebed > was busy <6213 <asah >

here <2008 hennah > and there <2008 hennah > ,  he was gone

<0369 >ayin > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  So <3651 ken >  [

shall ]  thy judgment <4941 mishpat >  [ be ]  ;  thyself hast

decided <2782 charats >  [ it ]  .


 : 41 And he hasted <4116 mahar > ,  and took the ashes <0665

>epher > away <5493 cuwr > from his face <5869 <ayin > ;  and

the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned

<5234 nakar > him that he  [ was ]  of the prophets <5030 nabiy>

 : 42 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Because <3282

ya<an > thou hast let go <7971 shalach > out of  [ thy ]  hand

<3027 yad > a man <0376 >iysh > whom I appointed <2764 cherem >

to utter destruction <2764 cherem > ,  therefore thy life <5315

nephesh > shall go <1961 hayah > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  

and thy people <5971 <am > for his people <5971 <am > .


 : 43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went

<3212 yalak > to his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and

displeased <2198 za<eph > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown > .


 : 1Kings 21


 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar >

these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  

Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had

<1961 hayah > a vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [

was ]  in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ,  hard <0681 >etsel > by

the palace <1964 heykal > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428

melek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .


 : 2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth

<5022 Nabowth > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Give <5414 nathan >

me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  that I may have <1961 hayah >

it for a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq > ,  because

<3588 kiy > it  [ is ]  near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004

bayith > : and I will give <5414 nathan > thee for it a better

<2896 towb > vineyard <3754 kerem > than it ;   [ or <0176 >ow >

give <5414 nathan > thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in

money <3701 keceph > .


 : 3 And Naboth <5022 Nabowth > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > forbid <2486 chaliylah >

it me ,  that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance <5159

 : 4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >

his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198

za<eph > because <5921 <al > of the word <1697 dabar > which

<0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158

Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him : for he had said

<0559 >amar > ,  I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the

inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1> .  And he laid

<7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah

and would eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > .

 


 : 5 .  But Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah >

came <0935 bow> > to him ,  and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  

Why <4100 mah > is thy spirit <7307 ruwach > so sad <5620 car > ,

  that thou eatest <0398 >akal > no <0369 >ayin > bread <3899

lechem > ?


 : 6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her ,  Because <3588 kiy > I

spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite

<3158 Yizr@<e>liy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Give

thee ,  I will give <5414 nathan > thee  [ another ]  vineyard

<3754 kerem > for it : and he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I will

not give <5414 nathan > thee my vineyard <3754 kerem > .


 : 7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > said

<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Dost thou now <6258 <attah > govern

enemy <0341 >oyeb > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have

 : 22 And will make <5414 nathan > thine house <1004 bayith >

about four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh

shalowm > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696

dabar > by me .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Hearken <8085

shama< > ,  O people <5971 <am > ,  every <3605 kol > one of you

.


 : 29 .  So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead

<7433 Ramowth > .


 : 30 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said

<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  I will

disguise <2664 chaphas > myself ,  and enter <0935 bow> > into

the battle <4421 milchamah > ;  but put <3847 labash > thou on

thy robes <0899 beged > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > disguised <2664 chaphas > himself ,  and went

<0935 bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah > .


 : 31 But the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >

commanded <6680 tsavah > his thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two

<8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > that had rule over his

chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Fight <3898

lacham > neither <3808 lo> > with small <6996 qatan > nor great

<1419 gadowl > ,  save only <0905 bad > with the king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


 : 32 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains

<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > saw <7200 ra>ah >

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  that they said <0559 >amar >

,  Surely <0389 >ak > it  [ is ]  the king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .  And they turned <5493 cuwr > aside to

fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > him : and Jehoshaphat

<3092 Y@howshaphat > cried <2199 za<aq > out .


 : 33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains

<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah

> that it  [ was ]  not the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > ,  that they turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >

from pursuing <0310 >achar > him .


 : 34 And a  [ certain ]  man <0376 >iysh > drew <4900 mashak >

a bow <7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom > ,  and smote

<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

between <0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness

<8302 shiryown > : wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the

driver <7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab > ,  Turn

<2015 haphak > thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and carry <3318 yatsa>

> me out of the host <4264 machaneh > ;  for I am wounded <2470

chalah > .


 : 35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 <alah >

that day <3117 yowm > : and the king <4428 melek > was stayed

<5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227

nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  and died <4191 muwth > at

even <6153 <ereb > : and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq

> out of the wound <4347 makkah > into <0413 >el > the midst

<2436 cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb > .


 : 36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation <7440 rinnah >

throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going <0935 bow>

> down of the sun <8121 shemesh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  

Every man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr > ,  and every

man <0376 >iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets > .


 : 37 So the king <4428 melek > died <4191 muwth > ,  and was

brought <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ;  and they

buried <6912 qabar > the king <4428 melek > in Samaria <8111

Shom@rown > .


 : 38 And  [ one ]  washed <7857 shataph > the chariot <7393

rekeb > in the pool <1295 b@rekah > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >

;  and the dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > up his blood

<1818 dam > ;  and they washed <7364 rachats > his armour <2185

zonowth > ;  according unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > .


 : 39 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

<asah > ,  and the ivory <8127 shen > house <1004 bayith > which

<0834 >aher > he made <1129 banah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the

cities <5892 <iyr > that he built <1129 banah > ,   [ are ]  

they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of

the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?


 : 40 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1> ;  and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben >

reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .


 : 41 .  And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben

> of Asa <0609 >Aca> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921

<al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year

<8141 shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


 : 42 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >  [ was ]  thirty <7970

sh@lowshiym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old

<1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak > ;  and he

reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568

chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

.  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  

Azubah <5806 <Azuwbah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Shilhi

<7977 Shilchiy > .


 : 43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways

<1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1> ;  he turned

<5493 cuwr > not aside from it ,  doing <6213 <asah >  [ that

which was ]  right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high

<1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > yet <3588 kiy > in the

high <1116 bamah > places .


 : 44 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made peace <7999

shalam > with the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 


 : 45 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  and his might <1369 g@buwrah

> that he shewed <6213 <asah > ,  and how <0834 >aher > he

warred <3898 lacham > ,   [ are ]  they not written <3789 kathab

the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ?


 : 46 And the remnant <3499 yether > of the sodomites <6945

qadesh > ,  which remained <7604 sha>ar > in the days <3117 yowm

> of his father <1> Asa <0609 >Aca> > ,  he took <1197 ba<ar >

out of the land <0776 >erets > .


 : 47  [ There was ]  then no <0369 >ayin > king <4428 melek >

in Edom <0123 >Edom > : a deputy <5324 natsab >  [ was ]  king

<4428 melek > .


 : 48 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made <6235 <eser > ships

<0591 >oniyah > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > to go <3212 yalak

> to Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > for gold <2091 zahab > : but they

went <1980 halak > not ;  for the ships <0591 >oniyah > were

broken <7665 shabar > at Eziongeber <6100 <Etsyown <Etsyon Geber

> .


 : 49 Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Ahaziah <0274

>Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > unto

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  Let my servants <5650 <ebed

> go <3212 yalak > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the ships

<0591 >oniyah > .  But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > would

<14> not .


 : 50 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > slept <7901 shakab >

with his fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > with his

fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his

father <1> : and Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > his son <1121 ben >

reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .


 : 51 Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the

seventeenth <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat

<3092 Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

> ,  and reigned <4427 malak > two years <8141 shaneh > over

<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


 : 52 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight

<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and walked <3212

yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of his father <1> ,  and in the

way <1870 derek > of his mother <0517 >em > ,  and in the way

<1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >

of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478

Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > :


 : 53 For he served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and

worshipped <7812 shachah > him ,  and provoked to anger <3707

ka<ac > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > ,  according to all <3605 kol > that his father

<1> had done <6213 <asah > .
