Why <4100 mah > are ye now <2088 zeh > turned <7725 shuwb >

shalach > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al

Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > ?

therefore <3651 ken > thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down

<3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher

: 7 And he said <1696 dabar > unto them , What <4100 mah >

manner <4941 mishpat > of man <0376 >iysh > [ was he ] which

<0834 >aher > came <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > you ,

and told <1696 dabar > you these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697

: 8 And they answered <0559 >amar > him , [ He was ] an

hairy man <0376 >iysh > , and girt <0247 >azar > with a girdle

him a captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his

fifty <2572 chamishshiym > . And he went <5927 <alah > up to

him : and , behold <2009 hinneh > , he sat <3427 yashab > on

<5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of an hill <2022 har > . And

he spake <1696 dabar > unto him , Thou man <0376 >iysh > of God

<0430 >elohiym > , the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696 dabar

: 10 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<1696 dabar > to the captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572

chamishshiym > , If <0518 >im > I [ be ] a man <0376 >iysh >

of God <0430 >elohiym > , then let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381

consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .

And there came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh

and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .

: 11 Again <7725 shuwb > also he sent <7971 shalach > unto him

another <0312 >acher > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572

chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > . And he

answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > unto him , O man

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , thus <3541 koh > hath

the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > , Come <3381 yarad >

down <3381 yarad > quickly <4120 m@herah > .

: 12 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<1696 dabar > unto them , If <0518 >im > I [ be ] a man <0376

>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , let fire <0784 >esh > come

<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,

and consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym

<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,

and consumed <0398 >akal > him and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym

: 13 And he sent <7971 shalach > again <7725 shuwb > a captain

<8269 sar > of the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > fifty <2572

chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > . And the

third <7992 sh@liyshiy > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572

chamishshiym > went <5927 <alah > up , and came <0935 bow> >

and fell <3766 kara< > on <5921 <al > his knees <1290 berek >

before <5048 neged > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > , and besought

<2603 chanan > him , and said <1696 dabar > unto him , O man

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , I pray <4994 na> > thee

, let my life <5315 nephesh > , and the life of these <0428

>el - leh > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > thy servants <5650 <ebed

: 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > , there came <3381 yarad > fire

<0784 >esh > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,

and burnt <0398 >akal > up the two <8147 sh@nayim > captains

<8269 sar > of the former <7223 ri>shown > fifties <2572

chamishshiym > with their fifties <2572 chamishshiym > :

therefore let my life <5315 nephesh > now <6258 <attah > be

precious <3365 yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin > .

: 15 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

said <1696 dabar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > , Go <3381 yarad

him . And he arose <6965 quwm > , and went <3381 yarad > down

<3381 yarad > with him unto the king <4428 melek > .

: 16 And he said <1696 dabar > unto him , Thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , Forasmuch as

thou hast sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to

enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god

<0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > , [ is it ] not

because [ there is ] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to enquire <1875 darash > of his word

<1697 dabar > ? therefore thou shalt not come <3381 yarad >

down <3381 yarad > off that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834

>aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up , but shalt surely <3588

kiy > die <4191 muwth > .

: 17 So he died <4191 muwth > according to the word <1697 dabar

> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > Elijah <0452

>Eliyah > had spoken <1696 dabar > . And Jehoram <3088 Y@howram

second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoram <3088

Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat

kiy > he had <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > son <1121 ben > .

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

Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah

cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

: 2Kings 2

: 1 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > would take <5927 <alah > up Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >

into heaven <8064 shamayim > by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > ,

that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > with Elisha <0477

>Eliysha< > from Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > .

: 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha

<0477 >Eliysha< > , Tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh > , I

pray <4994 na> > thee ; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent

<7971 shalach > me to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > . And Elisha

<0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > [ unto him , As ] the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > , and [ as ] thy

soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay > , I will not leave

<5800 <azab > thee . So they went <3381 yarad > down <3381

yarad > to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > .

: 3 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

that [ were ] at Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > came <3318 yatsa>

<0559 >amar > unto him , Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will take <3947 laqach > away thy master

<0113 >adown > from thy head <7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm > ?

And he said <0559 >amar > , Yea <1571 gam > , I know <3045

yada< > [ it ] ; hold <2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814

chashah > .

: 4 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh

hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > . And

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

liveth <2416 chay > , and [ as ] thy soul <5315 nephesh >

liveth <2416 chay > , I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee . So

they came <0935 bow> > to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > .

: 5 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

that [ were ] at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > came <5066 nagash >

to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will

take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown > from thy head

<7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm > ? And he answered <0559 >amar

<2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 chashah > .

: 6 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

Tarry <3427 yashab > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , here <6311

poh > ; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach >

me to Jordan <3383 Yarden > . And he said <0559 >amar > , [

As ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > , and [ as

] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay > , I will not

leave <5800 <azab > thee . And they two <8147 sh@nayim > went

<3212 yalak > on .

: 7 And fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > of the

sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > went <1980 halak

rachowq > off : and they two <8147 sh@nayim > stood <5975 <amad

: 8 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > his mantle

<0155 >addereth > , and wrapped <1563 galam > [ it ] together

, and smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > , and they

were divided <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah > ,

so that they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <5674 <abar > over <5674

<abar > on dry <2724 charabah > ground .

: 9 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when they were gone

<5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > , that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >

said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , Ask <7592

sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall do <6213 <asah > for thee ,

before <2962 terem > I be taken <3947 laqach > away from thee .

And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > , I pray <4994

na> > thee , let a double <8147 sh@nayim > portion <6310 peh >

of thy spirit <7307 ruwach > be upon me .

: 10 And he said <0559 >amar > , Thou hast asked <7592 sha>al

laqach > from thee , it shall be so <3651 ken > unto thee ;

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

: 11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , as they still went

<1980 halak > on , and talked <1696 dabar > , that , behold

<2009 hinneh > , [ there appeared ] a chariot <7393 rekeb >

of fire <0784 >esh > , and horses <5483 cuwc > of fire <0784

>esh > , and parted <6504 parad > them both <8147 sh@nayim >

asunder <0996 beyn > ; and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <5927

<alah > up by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > into heaven <8064

shamayim > .

: 12 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > saw <7200 ra>ah > [ it ] ,

and he cried <6817 tsa<aq > , My father <1> , my father <1> ,

the chariot <7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and the

horsemen <6571 parash > thereof . And he saw <7200 ra>ah > him

no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > : and he took hold <2388 chazaq

<7167 qara< > them in two <8147 sh@nayim > pieces <7168 qera< > .

: 13 . He took <7311 ruwm > up also the mantle <0155 >addereth

and went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > , and stood <5975

<amad > by the bank <8193 saphah > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > ;

: 14 And he took <3947 laqach > the mantle <0155 >addereth > of

Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him , and

smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > , and said <0559

>amar > , Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

God <0430 >elohiym > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ? and when he

also had smitten <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > , they

parted <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah > : and

Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > .

: 15 And when the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy>

> which <0834 >aher > [ were ] to view <5048 neged > at

Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > saw <7200 ra>ah > him , they said

<0559 >amar > , The spirit <7307 ruwach > of Elijah <0452

>Eliyah > doth rest <5117 nuwach > on <5921 <al > Elisha <0477

>Eliysha< > . And they came <0935 bow> > to meet <7125 qir>ah >

him , and bowed <7812 shachah > themselves to the ground <0776

>erets > before him .

: 16 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him , Behold <2009

hinneh > now <4994 na> > , there be with thy servants <5650

<ebed > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > strong <2428 chayil > men ;

let them go <3212 yalak > , we pray <4994 na> > thee , and

seek <1245 baqash > thy master <0113 >adown > : lest <6435 pen >

peradventure the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

upon some <0259 >echad > mountain <2022 har > , or <0176 >ow >

into some <0259 >echad > valley <1516 gay> > . And he said

<0559 >amar > , Ye shall not send <7971 shalach > .

: 17 And when they urged <6484 patsar > him till <5704 <ad > he

was ashamed <0954 buwsh > , he said <0559 >amar > , Send <7971

shalach > . They sent <7971 shalach > therefore fifty <2572

chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > ; and they sought <1245 baqash

> three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm > , but found <4672

matsa> > him not .

: 18 And when they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to

him , ( for he tarried <3427 yashab > at Jericho <3405

Y@riychow > , ) he said <0559 >amar > unto them , Did I not

say <0559 >amar > unto you , Go <3212 yalak > not ?

: 19 . And the men <0582 >enowsh > of the city <5892 <iyr >

said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , Behold <2009

hinneh > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , the situation <4186

mowshab > of this <2088 zeh > city <5892 <iyr > [ is ]

pleasant <2896 towb > , as my lord <0113 >adown > seeth <7200

ra>ah > : but the water <4325 mayim > [ is ] naught <7451 ra<

: 20 And he said <0559 >amar > , Bring <3947 laqach > me a new

<2319 chadash > cruse <6746 ts@lochiyth > , and put <7760 suwm

> salt <4417 melach > therein <8033 sham > . And they brought

<0935 bow> > [ it ] to him .

: 21 And he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the

spring <4161 mowtsa> > of the waters <4325 mayim > , and cast

<7993 shalak > the salt <4417 melach > in there , and said

<0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , I have healed <7495 rapha> > these <0428 >el -

<8033 sham > any more <5750 <owd > death <4194 maveth > or

barren <7921 shakol > [ land ] .

: 22 So the waters <4325 mayim > were healed <7495 rapha> >

unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > , according to the

saying <1697 dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > which <0834

>aher > he spake <1696 dabar > .

: 23 And he went <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > unto

Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and as he was going <5927 <alah >

up by the way <1870 derek > , there came <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > little <6996 qatan > children <5288 na<ar > out

of the city <5892 <iyr > , and mocked <7046 qalac > him , and

said <0559 >amar > unto him , Go <5927 <alah > up , thou bald

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

qereach > head .

: 24 And he turned <6437 panah > back <0310 >achar > , and

looked <7200 ra>ah > on them , and cursed <7043 qalal > them in

: 2Kings 3

: 1 . Now Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > 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

eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat

<4427 malak > twelve years <8141 shaneh > .

: 2 And he wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight

<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; but not like his

father <1> , and like his mother <0517 >em > : for he put <5493

cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal

<1168 Ba<al > that his father <1> had made <6213 <asah > .

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

<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > , which <0834 >aher > made

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > ; he departed

<5493 cuwr > not therefrom .

: 4 And Mesha <4337 Meysha< > king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124

Mow>ab > was a sheepmaster <5349 noqed > , and rendered <7725

: 5 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > was dead <4194 maveth > , that the king <4428 melek >

of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against the king

<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 6 . And king <4428 melek > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > went

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > , saying <0559 >amar > , The king <4428 melek

: wilt thou go <3212 yalak > with me against <0413 >el > Moab

<4124 Mow>ab > to battle <4421 milchamah > ? And he said <0559

art ] , my people <5971 <am > as thy people <5971 <am > , [

: 8 And he said <0559 >amar > , Which way <1870 derek > shall

we go <5927 <alah> up ? And he answered <0559 >amar > , The

way <1870 derek > through the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Edom

<0123 >Edom > .

: 9 So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went

<3212 yalak > , and the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > , and the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > :

and they fetched a compass <5437 cabab > of seven <7651 sheba< >

days <3117 yowm > journey <1870 derek > : and there was no

<3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > for the host <4264 machaneh > ,

and for the cattle <0929 b@hemah > that followed <7272 regel >

them .

: 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said

<0559 >amar > , Alas <0160 >ahabah > ! that the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh >

: 11 But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,

[ Is there ] nothere <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , that we may enquire <1875 darash >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him ? And one <0259 >echad > of

the king <4428 melek > of Israel s <3478 Yisra>el > servants

<5650 <ebed > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,

Here <6311 poh > [ is ] Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121

: 12 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,

The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is with him .

So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > and the king <4428 melek > of

Edom <0123 >Edom > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him .

: 13 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto the

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , What <4100 mah

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

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

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

Nay <0408 >al > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called

<7121 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh > three <7969 shalowsh >

kings <4428 melek > together , to deliver <5414 nathan > them

into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > .

: 14 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > , [ As ]

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416

I would not look <5027 nabat > toward <0413 >el > thee , nor

<0518 >im > see <7200 ra>ah > thee .

: 15 But now <6258 <attah > bring <3947 laqach > me a minstrel

<5059 nagan > . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when the

minstrel <5059 nagan > played <5059 nagan > , that the hand

<3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > upon

him .

: 16 And he said <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

Y@hovah > , Ye shall not see <7200 ra>ah > wind <7307 ruwach > ,

neither <3808 lo> > shall ye see <7200 ra>ah > rain <1653

your beasts <0929 b@hemah > .

: 18 And this <2063 zo>th > is [ but ] a light <7043 qalal >

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

he will deliver <5414 nathan > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > also

into your hand <3027 yad > .

: 19 And ye shall smite <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > fenced

good <2896 towb > piece <2513 chelqah > of land with stones <68>

boqer > , when the meat offering <4503 minchah > was offered

<5927 <alah > , that , behold <2009 hinneh > , there came

Edom <0123 >Edom > , and the country <0776 >erets > was filled

<4390 male> > with water <4325 mayim > .

: 21 And when all <3605 kol > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > heard

<8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > were come <5927

: 22 And they rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in

the morning <1242 boqer > , and the sun <8121 shemesh > shone

<2224 zarach > upon the water <4325 mayim > , and the Moabites

<4124 Mow>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > the water <4325 mayim > on the

rose <6965 quwm > up and smote <5221 nakah > the Moabites <4124

them : but they went <5221 nakah > forward smiting <5221 nakah >

the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > , even in [ their ] country .

: 25 And they beat <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > the cities

<5892 <iyr > , and on every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece

<2513 chelqah > of land cast <7993 shalak > every man <0376

they stopped <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > the wells <4599

: 26 And when the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > saw

<7200 ra>ah > that the battle <4421 milchamah > was too sore

<2388 chazaq > for him , he took <3947 laqach > with him seven

through <1234 baqa< > [ even ] unto the king <4428 melek > of

Edom <0123 >Edom > : but they could <3201 yakol > not .

: 27 Then he took <3947 laqach > his eldest <1060 b@kowr > son

<8478 tachath > , and offered <5927 <alah > him [ for ] a

And there was great <1419 gadowl > indignation <7110 qetseph >

against <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and they departed

<5265 naca< > from him , and returned <7725 shuwb > to [ their

my husband <0376 >iysh > is dead <4191 muwth > ; and thou

knowest <3045 yada< > that thy servant <5650 <ebed > did fear

: 2 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,

What <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > for thee ? tell <5046

nagad > me , what <4100 mah > hast <3426 yesh > thou in the

house <1004 bayith > , save <3467 yasha< > a pot <0610 >acuwk >

of oil <8081 shemen > .

: 3 Then he said <0559 >amar > , Go <3212 yalak > , borrow

of all <3605 kol > thy neighbours <7934 shaken > , [ even ]

unto her son <1121 ben > , Bring <5066 nagash > me yet a vessel

oil <8081 shemen > stayed <5975 <amad > .

it shall be , when he cometh <0935 bow> > to us , that he

wilt thou go <1980 halak > to him to day <3117 yowm > ? [ it

is ] neither <3808 lo> > new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh

<0559 >amar > , [ It shall be ] well <7965 shalowm > .

and said <0559 >amar > to her servant <5288 na<ar > , Drive

<5090 nahag > , and go <3212 yalak > forward ; slack <6113

<atsar > not [ thy ] riding <7392 rakab > for me , except I

: 25 So she went <3212 yalak > and came <0935 bow> > unto the

man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > to mount <2022 har >

Carmel <3760 Karmel > . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,

when the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > saw <7200

ra>ah > her afar <7350 rachowq > off , that he said <0559 >amar

answered <0559 >amar > , [ It is ] well <7965 shalowm > .

: 27 And when she came <0935 bow> > to the man <0376 >iysh > of

God <0430 >elohiym > to the hill <2022 har > , she caught <2388

chazaq > him by the feet <7272 regel > : but Gehazi <1522

Geychaziy > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > to thrust

<1920 Hadaph > her away . And the man <0376 >iysh > of God

<0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > , Let her alone <7503

: 28 Then she said <0559 >amar > , Did I desire <7592 sha>al >

a son <1121 ben > of my lord <0113 >adown > ? did I not say

<0559 >amar > , Do not deceive <7952 shalah > me ?

: 29 Then he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ,

Gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen > , and take

<3947 laqach > my staff <4938 mish<enah > in thine hand <3027

and lay <7760 suwm > my staff <4938 mish<enah > upon the face

<6440 paniym > of the child <5288 na<ar > .

: 30 And the mother <0517 >em > of the child <5288 na<ar > said

<0559 >amar > , [ As ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416

<6965 quwm > , and followed her .

: 31 And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > passed <5674 <abar > on

before <6440 paniym > them , and laid <7760 suwm > the staff

<4938 mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the child

<5288 na<ar > ; but [ there was ] neither <0369 >ayin > voice

Wherefore he went <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to meet

<7125 qir>ah > him , and told <5046 nagad > him , saying <0559

: 32 And when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was come <0935 bow> >

into the house <1004 bayith > , behold <2009 hinneh > , the

child <5288 na<ar > was dead <4191 muwth > , [ and ] laid

and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 34 And he went <5927 <alah > up , and lay <7901 shakab >

upon the child <3206 yeled > , and put <7760 suwm > his mouth

<6310 peh > upon his mouth <6310 peh > , and his eyes <5869

himself upon the child <3206 yeled > ; and the flesh <1320

basar > of the child <3206 yeled > waxed warm <2552 chamam > .

: 35 Then he returned <7725 shuwb > , and walked <3212 yalak >

in the house <1004 bayith > to and fro ; and went <5927 <alah >

up , and stretched <1457 gahar > himself upon him : and the

child <5288 na<ar > sneezed <2237 zarar > seven <7651 sheba< >

times <6471 pa<am > , and the child <5288 na<ar > opened <6491

: 36 And he called <7121 qara> > Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ,

and said <0559 >amar > , Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th >

Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > . So he called <7121 qara> >

her . And when she was come <0935 bow> > in unto him , he said

<0559 >amar > , Take <5375 nasa> > up thy son <1121 ben > .

: 37 Then she went <0935 bow> > in , and fell <5307 naphal >

at <5921 <al > his feet <7272 regel > , and bowed <7812 shachah

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

: 38 . And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <7725 shuwb > again

<7725 shuwb > to Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > : and [ there was ] a

dearth <7458 ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets > ; and the sons

<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > [ were ] sitting

<3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > him : and he said <0559

<0219 >owrah > , and found <4672 matsa> > a wild <7704 sadeh >

[ them ] into <0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > of pottage <5138

naziyd > : for they knew <3045 yada< > [ them ] not .

: 40 So they poured <3332 yatsaq > out for the men <0582

pass , as they were eating <0398 >akal > of the pottage <5138

. And they could <3201 yakol > not eat <0398 >akal > [ thereof

: 41 But he said <0559 >amar > , Then bring <3947 laqach >

meal <7058 qemach > . And he cast <7993 shalak > [ it ] into

<0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > ; and he said <0559 >amar > ,

Pour <3332 yatsaq > out for the people <5971 <am > , that they

may eat <0398 >akal > . And there was no <3808 lo> > harm in

the pot <5518 ciyr > .

: 42 And there came <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > from

Baalshalisha <1190 Ba<al Shalishah > , and brought <0935 bow> >

the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > bread <3899 lechem

unto the people <5971 <am > , that they may eat <0398 >akal > .

: 43 And his servitor <8334 sharath > said <0559 >amar > ,

What <4100 mah > , should I set <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh >

before <6440 paniym > an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh >

koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , They shall

eat <0398 >akal > , and shall leave <3498 yathar > [ thereof ]

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 2Kings 5

: 1 . Now Naaman <5283 Na<aman > , captain <8269 sar > of the

host <6635 tsaba> > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758

master <0113 >adown > , and honourable , because <3588 kiy >

by him the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > given <5414

nathan > deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah > unto Syria <0758 >Aram > :

he was also a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh > in

valour <2428 chayil > , [ but he was ] a leper <6879 tsara< >

: 2 And the Syrians <0758 >Aram > had gone <3318 yatsa> > out

by companies <1416 g@duwd > , and had brought <7617 shabah >

away captive <7617 shabah > out of the land <0776 >erets > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a little <6996 qatan > maid <5291

na<arah > ; and she waited on Naaman s <5283 Na<aman > wife

: 4 And [ one ] went <0935 bow> > in , and told <5046 nagad

na<arah > that [ is ] of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > .

: 5 And the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > said

<0559 >amar > , Go <3212 yalak > to , go <0935 bow> > , and I

will send <7971 shalach > a letter <5612 cepher > unto the king

<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . And he departed

<3212 yalak > , and took <3947 laqach > with him ten <6235

<eser > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > , and

six <8337 shesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > [ pieces ] of gold

: 6 And he brought <0935 bow> > the letter <5612 cepher > to

the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , saying

<0559 >amar > , Now <6258 <attah > when this <2088 zeh > letter

<5612 cepher > is come <0935 bow> > unto thee , behold <2009

hinneh > , I have [ therewith ] sent <7971 shalach > Naaman

<5283 Na<aman > my servant <5650 <ebed > to thee , that thou

mayest recover <0622 >acaph > him of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath

: 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when the king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had read <7121 qara> > the

letter <5612 cepher > , that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes

<0899 beged > , and said <0559 >amar > , [ Am ] I God <0430

unto me to recover <0622 >acaph > a man <0376 >iysh > of his

leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > ? wherefore consider <3045 yada< > ,

I pray <4994 na> > you , and see <7200 ra>ah > how <3588 kiy >

he seeketh <0579 >anah > a quarrel <0579 >anah > against me .

: 8 And it was [ so ] , when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the

man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had heard <8085 shama<

prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 9 . So Naaman <5283 Na<aman > came <0935 bow> > with his

horses <5483 cuwc > and with his chariot <7393 rekeb > , and

stood <5975 <amad > at the door <6607 pethach > of the house

<1004 bayith > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > .

: 10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sent <7971 shalach > a

messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto him , saying <0559 >amar > , Go

<1980 halak > and wash <7364 rachats > in Jordan <3383 Yarden >

seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am > , and thy flesh <1320

and thou shalt be clean <2891 taher > .

: 11 But Naaman <5283 Na<aman > was wroth <7107 qatsaph > ,

and went <3212 yalak > away , and said <0559 >amar > , Behold

<2009 hinneh > , I thought <0559 >amar > , He will surely come

<3318 yatsa> > out to me , and stand <5975 <amad > , and call

<3027 yad > over <0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm > , and

recover <0622 >acaph > the leper <6879 tsara< > .

: 12 [ Are ] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554 Parpar > ,

rivers <5104 nahar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , better

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ? may I not wash <7364 rachats > in

them , and be clean <2891 taher > ? So he turned <6437 panah >

and went <3212 yalak > away in a rage <2534 chemah > .

: 13 And his servants <5650 <ebed > came <5066 nagash > near

<5066 nagash > , and spake <1696 dabar > unto him , and said

<0559 >amar > , My father <1> , [ if ] the prophet <5030

when <3588 kiy > he saith <0559 >amar > to thee , Wash <7364

: 14 Then went <3381 yarad > he down <3381 yarad > , and

dipped <2881 tabal > himself seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471

pa<am > in Jordan <3383 Yarden > , according to the saying

<1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > :

and his flesh <1320 basar > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb

<4264 machaneh > , and came <0935 bow> > , and stood <5975

: 17 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar > , Shall

nathan > to thy servant <5650 <ebed > two mules <6505 pered >

: 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him , Go <3212 yalak > in

peace <7965 shalowm > . So he departed <3212 yalak > from him a

little <3530 kibrah > way <0776 >erets > .

he took <3947 laqach > [ them ] from their hand <3027 yad > ,

and bestowed <6485 paqad > [ them ] in the house <1004

, and they departed <3212 yalak > .

before <0413 >el > his master <0113 >adown > . And Elisha <0477

oliveyards <2132 zayith > , and vineyards <3754 kerem > , and

sheep <6629 tso>n > , and oxen <1241 baqar > , and menservants

: 27 The leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > therefore of Naaman <5283

Na<aman > shall cleave <1692 dabaq > unto thee , and unto thy

yatsa> > out from his presence <6440 paniym > a leper <6879

tsara< > [ as white ] as snow <7950 sheleg > .

: 2Kings 6

: 1 . And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , Behold <2009

Jordan <3383 Yarden > , and take <3947 laqach > thence <8033

with thy servants <5650 <ebed > . And he answered <0559 >amar >

, I will go <3212 yalak > .

: 4 So he went <3212 yalak > with them . And when they came

<0935 bow> > to Jordan <3383 Yarden > , they cut <1504 gazar >

down wood <6086 <ets > .

: 5 But as one <0259 >echad > was felling <5307 naphal > a beam

<6982 qowrah > , the axe <1270 barzel > head <1270 barzel >

fell <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the water <4325 mayim > :

and he cried <6817 tsa<aq > , and said <0559 >amar > , Alas

<7592 sha>al > .

: 6 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said

<0559 >amar > , Where <0575 >an > fell <5307 naphal > it ? And

he shewed <7200 ra>ah > him the place <4725 maqowm > . And he

cut <7094 qatsab > down a stick <6086 <ets > , and cast <7993

shalak > [ it ] in thither <8033 sham > ; and the iron <1270

barzel > did swim <6687 tsuwph > .

: 7 Therefore said <0559 >amar > he , Take <7311 ruwm > [ it

: 8 . Then the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >

warred <3898 lacham > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and

took counsel <3289 ya<ats > with his servants <5650 <ebed > ,

saying <0559 >amar > , In such <6423 p@loniy > and such <0492

: 9 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > sent

<7971 shalach > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > , saying <0559 >amar > , Beware <8104 shamar > that

: 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent

<7971 shalach > to the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher >

the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > told <0559 >amar >

himself there <8033 sham > , not once <0259 >echad > nor <3808

: 11 Therefore the heart <3820 leb > of the king <4428 melek >

of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sore troubled <5590 ca<ar > for this

<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ; and he called <7121 qara> >

his servants <5650 <ebed > , and said <0559 >amar > unto them ,

Will ye not shew <5046 nagad > me which <4310 miy > of us [ is

: 12 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > said

<0559 >amar > , None <3808 lo> > , my lord <0113 >adown > , O

king <4428 melek > : but Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , the prophet

telleth <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > the words <1697 dabar > that thou speakest <1696

: 13 . And he said <0559 >amar > , Go <3212 yalak > and spy

<7200 ra>ah > where <0351 >eykoh > he [ is ] , that I may

send <7971 shalach > and fetch <3947 laqach > him . And it was

told <5046 nagad > him , saying <0559 >amar > , Behold <2009

hinneh > , [ he is ] in Dothan <1886 Dothan > .

: 14 Therefore sent <7971 shalach > he thither <8033 sham >

horses <5483 cuwc > , and chariots <7393 rekeb > , and a great

<3515 kabed > host <2428 chayil > : and they came <0935 bow> >

by night <3915 layil > , and compassed <5362 naqaph > the city

<5892 <iyr > about <5362 naqaph > .

: 15 And when the servant <8334 sharath > of the man <0376

<7925 shakam > , and gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,

behold <2009 hinneh > , an host <2428 chayil > compassed <5437

chariots <7393 rekeb > . And his servant <5288 na<ar > said

<0559 >amar > unto him , Alas <0160 >ahabah > , my master

<0113 >adown > ! how <0349 >eyk > shall we do <6213 <asah > ?

: 16 And he answered <0559 >amar > , Fear <3372 yare> > not :

for they that [ be ] with us [ are ] more <7227 rab > than

they that [ be ] with them .

: 17 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > , and

said <0559 >amar > , LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , I pray <4994 na> >

thee , open <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin > , that he

may see <7200 ra>ah > . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > opened

<6491 paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the young <5288 na<ar >

man ; and he saw <7200 ra>ah > : and , behold <2009 hinneh > ,

the mountain <2022 har > [ was ] full <4390 male> > of horses

<5483 cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh >

round <5439 cabiyb > about Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > .

: 18 And when they came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him

, Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Smite <5221 nakah >

this <2088 zeh > people <1471 gowy > , I pray <4994 na> > thee ,

with blindness <5575 canver > . And he smote <5221 nakah >

them with blindness <5575 canver > according to the word <1697

dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > .

: 19 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,

This [ is ] not the way <1870 derek > , neither <3808 lo> >

[ is ] this <2090 zoh > the city <5892 <iyr > : follow me ,

and I will bring <3212 yalak > you to the man <0376 >iysh > whom

<0834 >aher > ye seek <1245 baqash > . But he led <3212 yalak >

them to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

: 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when they were come

<0935 bow> > into Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > , that Elisha <0477

[ men ] , that they may see <7200 ra>ah > . And the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > opened <6491 paqach > their eyes <5869 <ayin > ,

and they saw <7200 ra>ah > ; and , behold <2009 hinneh > ,

[ they were ] in the midst <8432 tavek > of Samaria <8111

Shom@rown > .

: 21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said

<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > , when he saw <7200

ra>ah > them , My father <1> , shall I smite <5221 nakah > [

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

: 22 And he answered <0559 >amar > , Thou shalt not smite

<5221 nakah > [ them ] : wouldest thou smite <5221 nakah >

those whom <0834 >aher > thou hast taken captive <7617 shabah >

with thy sword <2719 chereb > and with thy bow <7198 qesheth > ?

set <7760 suwm > bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim >

before <6440 paniym > them , that they may eat <0398 >akal >

and drink <8354 shathah > , and go <3212 yalak > to their

master <0113 >adown > .

: 23 And he prepared <3739 karah > great <1419 gadowl >

provision <3740 kerah > for them : and when they had eaten <0398

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

came <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more into the land <0776 >erets

this <3651 ken > , that Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > king <4428

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605

in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : and , behold <2009 hinneh > ,

they besieged <6696 tsuwr > it , until <5704 <ad > an ass s

<2543 chamowr > head <7218 ro>sh > was [ sold ] for fourscore

<1686 dibyown > dung <2755 charey - yowniym > for five <2568

: 26 And as the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

was passing <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346 chowmah > ,

there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a woman <0802 >ishshah > unto him ,

saying <0559 >amar > , Help <3467 yasha< > , my lord <0113

do not help <3467 yasha< > thee , whence <0370 >aiyn > shall I

help <3467 yasha< > thee ? out of the barnfloor <1637 goren > ,

or <0176 >ow > out of the winepress <3342 yeqeb > ?

What <4100 mah > aileth thee ? And she answered <0559 >amar > ,

This <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar >

eat <0398 >akal > him : and I said <0559 >amar > unto her on the

next <0312 >acher > day <3117 yowm > , Give <5414 nathan > thy

son <1121 ben > , that we may eat <0398 >akal > him : and she

hath hid <2244> her son <1121 ben > .

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

melek > heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the

woman <0802 >ishshah > , that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes

: 32 But Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sat <3427 yashab > in his

: 33 And while he yet <5750 <owd > talked <1696 dabar > with

came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > unto him : and he said

Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > , and let us

and went <3212 yalak > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ; for

Joram <3141 Yowram > lay <7901 shakab > there <8033 sham > .

And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > was come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see

: 17 And there stood <5975 <amad > a watchman <6822 tsaphah >

on <5921 <al > the tower <4026 migdal > in Jezreel <3157

Yizr@<e>l > , and he spied <7200 ra>ah > the company <8229

shiph<ah > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > as he came <0935 bow> > , and

said <0559 >amar > , I see <7200 ra>ah > a company <8229

Take <3947 laqach > an horseman <7395 rakkab > , and send <7971

shalach > to meet <7125 qir>ah > them , and let him say <0559

<6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

The messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to them , but he

cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb > .

: 19 Then he sent <7971 shalach > out a second <8145 sheniy >

<0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king

behind <0310 >achar > me .

: 20 And the watchman <6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad > ,

saying <0559 >amar > , He came <0935 bow> > even unto them ,

and cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb > : and the

driving <4491 minhag > [ is ] like the driving <4491 minhag >

: 21 And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar > , Make ready

<0631 >acar > . And his chariot <7393 rekeb > was made ready

<0631 >acar > . And Joram <3188 yachas > king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428

Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > .

: 22 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Joram <3188

yachas > saw <7200 ra>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > , that he said

<0559 >amar > , [ Is it ] peace <7965 shalowm > , Jehu <3058

to Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > , [ There is ] treachery <4820

: 24 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > drew a bow <7198 qesheth > with

fled <5127 nuwc > by the way <1870 derek > of the garden <1588

: 28 And his servants <5650 <ebed > carried <7392 rakab > him

in a chariot to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and buried

<6912 qabar > him in his sepulchre <6900 q@buwrah > with his

Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al

Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > , Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard

<8085 shama< > [ of it ] ; and she painted her face <5869

but not as the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

that were before <6440 paniym > him .

: 3 Against <5921 <al > him came <5927 <alah > up Shalmaneser

: 4 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >

found <4672 matsa> > conspiracy <7195 qesher > in Hoshea <1954

Howshea< > : for he had sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397

<0804 >Ashshuwr > shut <6113 <atsar > him up , and bound <0631

Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

carried <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > away <1540 galah >

the river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan > , and in the

cities <5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday > .

: 7 . For [ so ] it was , that the children <1121 ben > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had sinned <2398 chata> > against the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > , which had

brought <5927 <alah > them up out of the land <0776 >erets > of

: 8 And walked <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 chuqqah > of

the heathen <1471 gowy > , whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the

: 9 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did

[ were ] not right <3651 ken > against <5921 <al > the LORD

their cities <5892 <iyr > , from the tower <4026 migdal > of

the watchmen <5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city

: 11 And there <8033 sham > they burnt <6999 qatar > incense

<6999 qatar > in all <3605 kol > the high <1116 bamah > places ,

as [ did ] the heathen <1471 gowy > whom <0834 >aher > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah >

before <6440 paniym > them ; and wrought <6213 <asah > wicked

<7451 ra< > things <1697 dabar > to provoke the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > to anger <3707 ka<ac > :

: 12 For they served <5647 <abad > idols <1544 gilluwl > ,

whereof <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had said <0559

zeh > thing <1697 dabar > .

: 13 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > testified <5749 <uwd >

against Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and against Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > , by all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,

[ and by ] all <3605 kol > the seers <2374 chozeh > , saying

<0559 >amar > , Turn <7725 shuwb > ye from your evil <7451 ra<

according to all <3605 kol > the law <8451 towrah > which <0834

<0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > to you by my servants <5650

<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > .

: 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085 shama< > , but

hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph > , like to

the neck <6203 <oreph > of their fathers <1> , that did not

believe <0539 >aman > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God

<0430 >elohiym > .

: 15 And they rejected <3988 ma>ac > his statutes <2706 choq > ,

and his covenant <1285 b@riyth > that he made <3772 karath >

with their fathers <1> , and his testimonies <5715> which <0834

>aher > he testified <5749 <uwd > against them ; and they

followed vanity <1892 hebel > , and became <1891 habal > vain

<1891 habal > , and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the

heathen <1471 gowy > that [ were ] round <5439 cabiyb > about

them , [ concerning ] whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > had charged <6680 tsavah > them , that they should

not do <6213 <asah > like them .

: 16 And they left <5800 <azab > all <3605 kol > the

commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their

God <0430 >elohiym > , and made <6213 <asah > them molten <4541

maccekah > images , [ even ] two <8147 sh@nayim > calves

<5695 <egel > , and made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah >

, and worshipped <7812 shachah > all <3605 kol > the host <6635

tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > , and served <5647 <abad >

Baal <1168 Ba<al > .

: 17 And they caused their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters

<1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the fire <0784 >esh > ,

and used divination <7081 qecem > and enchantments <5172

Y@hovah > , to provoke him to anger <3707 ka<ac > .

: 18 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was very <3966 m@<od >

angry <0599 >anaph > with Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and removed

<5493 cuwr > them out of his sight <6440 paniym > : there was

statutes <2708 chuqqah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > which <0834

: 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rejected <3988 ma>ac > all

<3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

and afflicted <6031 <anah > them , and delivered <5414 nathan >

them into the hand <3027 yad > of spoilers <8154 shacah > ,

until <5704 <ad > he had cast <7993 shalak > them out of his

sight <6440 paniym > .

: 21 For he rent <7167 qara< > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from the

house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ; and they made

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

N@bat > king <4427 malak > : and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > drave

<5071 n@dabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from following <0310

chata> > a great <1419 gadowl > sin <2401 chata>ah > .

: 22 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah

: 23 Until <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > removed <5493

as he had said <1696 dabar > by all <3605 kol > his servants

<5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > . So was Israel <3478

Yisra>el > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > out of their

<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

: 24 . And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >

brought <0935 bow> > [ men ] from Babylon <0894 Babel > , and

from Cuthah <3575 Kuwth > , and from Ava <5755 <Ivvah > , and

from Hamath <2574 Chamath > , and from Sepharvaim <5617

C@pharvayim > , and placed <3427 yashab > [ them ] in the

cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > instead <8478

tachath > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

: and they possessed <3423 yarash > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,

and dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof .

: 25 And [ so ] it was at the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of

their dwelling <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > , [ that ]

they feared <3372 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :

therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > lions

<0738 >ariy > among them , which slew <2026 harag > [ some ]

of them .

: 26 Wherefore they spake <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek

nations <1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > thou hast removed <1540

galah > , and placed <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr >

of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > , know <3045 yada< > not the

manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land

slay <4191 muwth > them , because <0834 >aher > they know <3045

yada< > not the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym

: 27 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >

commanded <6680 tsavah > , saying <0559 >amar > , Carry <1980

halak > thither <8033 sham > one <0259 >echad > of the priests

<3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > , and let him teach <3384

yarah > them the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430

: 28 Then one <0259 >echad > of the priests <3548 kohen > whom

<0834 >aher > they had carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah >

from Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > came <0935 bow> > and dwelt <3427

<3068 Y@hovah > .

: 29 Howbeit every nation <1471 gowy > made <6213 <asah > gods

<0430 >elohiym > of their own , and put <3240 yanach > [ them

] in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places

which <0834 >aher > the Samaritans <8118 Shom@roniy > had made

<6213 <asah > , every nation <1471 gowy > in their cities <5892

<iyr > wherein they dwelt <3427 yashab > .

: 30 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of Babylon <0894 Babel > made

<6213 <asah > Succothbenoth <5524 Cukkowth b@nowth > , and the

men <0582 >enowsh > of Cuth <3575 Kuwth > made <6213 <asah >

Nergal <5370 Nergal > , and the men <0582 >enowsh > of Hamath

<2574 Chamath > made <6213 <asah > Ashima <0807 >Ashiyma> > ,

: 31 And the Avites <5757 <Avviy > made <6213 <asah > Nibhaz

<5026 Nibchaz > and Tartak <8662 Tartaq > , and the Sepharvites

<5616 C@pharviy > burnt <8313 saraph > their children <1121 ben

Anammelech <6048 <Anammelek > , the gods <0430 >elohiym > of

Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim > .

: 32 So they feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

and made <6213 <asah > unto themselves of the lowest <7098

qatsah > of them priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah >

places , which <1961 hayah > sacrificed <6213 <asah > for them

in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places .

: 33 They feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and

served <5647 <abad > their own gods <0430 >elohiym > , after

the manner <4941 mishpat > of the nations <1471 gowy > whom

<0834 >aher > they carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > from

: 34 Unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they do <6213 <asah

Ya<aqob > , whom <0834 >aher > he named <8034 shem > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > ;

a covenant <1285 b@riyth > , and charged <6680 tsavah > them ,

saying <0559 >amar > , Ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other

: 36 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , who <0834 >aher > brought

<5927 <alah > you up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim > with great <1419 gadowl > power <3581 koach >

for evermore ; and ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312

: 38 And the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I have made <3772

karath > with you ye shall not forget <7911 shakach > ; neither

<3808 lo> > shall ye fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher >

: 40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085 shama< > , but they

did <6213 <asah > after their former <7223 ri>shown > manner

<4941 mishpat > .

: 41 So these <0428 >el - leh > nations <1471 gowy > feared

and brake <7665 shabar > the images <4676 matstsebah > , and

cut <3772 karath > down the groves <0842 >asherah > , and brake
