ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

2Kings 1

1. Then Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194

maveth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >.

2 And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > fell <5307 naphal > down

through <1157 b@<ad > a lattice <7639 s@bakah > in his upper

<5944 <aliyah > chamber <5944 <aliyah > that [was] in Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown >, and was sick <2470 chalah >: and he sent

<7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and said <0559 >amar

> unto them, Go <3212 yalak >, enquire <1875 darash > of

Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron

<6138 <Eqrown > whether <0518 >im > I shall recover <2421 chayah

> of this <2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >.

3 But the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said

<1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664

Tishbiy >, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125

qir>ah > the messengers <4397 mal>ak > of the king <4428 melek >

of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and say <1696 dabar > unto them,

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

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] ye go <1980 halak > to enquire

<1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430

>elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >?

4 Now therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar

> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Thou shalt not come <3381 yarad >

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

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

kiy > die <4191 muwth >. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > departed

<3212 yalak >.

5 And when the messengers <4397 mal>ak > turned <7725 shuwb >

back <7725 shuwb > unto him, he said <0559 >amar > unto them,

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

<7725 shuwb >?

6 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, There came <5927 <alah

> a man <0376 >iysh > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > us, and said

<0559 >amar > unto us, Go <3212 yalak >, turn <7725 shuwb >

again <7725 shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > that sent <7971

shalach > you, and say <1696 dabar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [Is it] not

because [there is] not a God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478

Yisra>el >, [that] thou sendest <7971 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 > thou art gone <5927 <alah

> up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >.

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 dabar >?

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

<0376 >iysh >, and girt <0247 >azar > with a girdle <0232 >ezowr

> of leather <5785 <owr > about his loins <4975 mothen >. And he

said <0559 >amar >, It [is] Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite

<8664 Tishbiy >.

9. Then the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > unto 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 >, Come <3381

yarad > down <3381 yarad >.

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 yarad >

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

<0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And there

came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh > from

heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consumed <0398 >akal > him 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 >.

And the fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <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 >, be precious <3365

yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >.

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 >

down <3381 yarad > with him: be not afraid <3372 yare> > of 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 >

reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > in the second

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

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

<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; because <3588 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

>, [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 >?

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> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > 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 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 >,

I pray <4994 na> > thee; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 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 >,

Yea <1571 gam >, I know <3045 yada< > [it]; hold <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 >,

and stood <5975 <amad > to view <5048 neged > afar <7350 rachowq

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

Jordan <3383 Yarden >.

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 > a

hard <7185 qashah > thing: [nevertheless], if <0518 >im > thou

see <7200 ra>ah > me [when I am] taken <3947 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 > of his own

<0249 >ezrach > clothes <0899 beged >, and rent <7167 qara< >

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

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

of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him, 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 > hath taken

<5375 nasa> > him up, and cast <7993 shalak > him 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< >, and the ground <0776

>erets > barren <7921 shakol >.

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-leh >

waters <4325 mayim >; there shall not be from thence <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 the name

<8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And there came <3318

yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > two <8147 sh@nayim > she bears

<1677 dob > out of the wood <3293 ya<ar >, and tare <1234 baqa<

25 And he went <3212 yalak > from thence <8033 sham > to mount

<2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and from thence <8033 sham >

he returned <7725 shuwb > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

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

> king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned

<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 >.

3 Nevertheless <7535 raq > he cleaved <1692 dabaq > unto the

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

shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > lambs <3733 kar

<0352 >ayil >, with the wool <6785 tsemer >.

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 <3318

yatsa> > out of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the same <1931 huw> >

time <3117 yowm >, and numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

7 And he went <3212 yalak > and sent <7971 shalach > to

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

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

of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath rebelled <6586 pasha< > against me:

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

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

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

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

<5483 cuwc > as thy horses <5483 cuwc >.

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 > three <7969

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

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

there] not here <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 ben > of Shaphat

<8202 Shaphat >, which <0834 >aher > poured <3332 yatsaq > water

<4325 mayim > on <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of Elijah

<0452 >Eliyah >.

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 >

have I to do with thee? get <3212 yalak > thee to the 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 chay >,

before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad >,

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

presence <6440 paniym > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 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

>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Make <6213 <asah > this <2088

zeh > valley <5158 nachal > full of ditches <1356 geb >.

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

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

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

with water <4325 mayim >, that ye may drink <8354 shathah >,

both ye, and your cattle <4735 miqneh >, and 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

<4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >, and every <3605 kol > choice

<4005 mibchar > city <5892 <iyr >, and shall fell <5307 naphal >

every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > tree <6086 <ets >, and stop

<5640 catham > all <3605 kol > wells <4599 ma<yan > of water

<4325 mayim >, and mar <3510 ka>ab > every <3605 kol > good

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

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

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

<5927 <alah >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <0935

bow> > water <4325 mayim > by the way <1870 derek > of 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

<alah > up to fight <3898 lacham > against them, they gathered

<6817 tsa<aq > all <3605 kol > that were able <2296 chagar > to

put <2296 chagar > on armour <2290 chagowr >, and upward <4605

ma<al >, and stood <5975 <amad > in the border <1366 g@buwl >.

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 other

<5048 neged > side <5048 neged > [as] red <0122 >adom > as blood

<1818 dam >:

23 And they said <0559 >amar >, This <2088 zeh > [is] blood

<1818 dam >: the kings <4428 melek > are surely slain <2717

charab >, and they have smitten <5221 nakah > one <0376 >iysh >

another <7453 rea< >: now <6258 <attah > therefore, Moab <4124

Mow>ab >, to the spoil <7998 shalal >.

24 And when they came <0935 bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh >

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > rose

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

Mow>ab >, so that they fled <5127 nuwc > before <6440 paniym >

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

>iysh > his stone <68>, and filled <4390 male> > it; and they

stopped <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > the wells <4599 ma<yan >

of water <4325 mayim >, and felled <5307 naphal > all <3605 kol

<7025 Qiyr Cheres > left <7604 sha>ar > they the stones <68>

thereof; howbeit the slingers <7051 qalla< > went <5437 cabab >

about <5437 cabab > [it], and smote <5221 nakah > it.

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

<7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > that drew

<8025 shalaph > swords <2719 chereb >, to break <1234 baqa< >

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

<1121 ben > that should have reigned <4427 malak > in his stead

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

<5930 <olah > offering upon the wall <2346 chowmah >. 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 own] land

<0776 >erets >.

2Kings 4

1. Now there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a certain <0259 >echad >

woman <0802 >ishshah > of the wives <0802 >ishshah > of the sons

<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto Elisha <0477

>Eliysha< >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy servant <5650 <ebed > my

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

<3045 yada< > that thy servant <5650 <ebed > did fear <3373

yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the creditor <5383 nashah

<8147 sh@nayim > sons <3206 yeled > to be bondmen <5650 <ebed >.

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 >? And she said <0559 >amar >, Thine handmaid <8198

shiphchah > hath not any <3605 kol > thing in the house <1004

bayith >, save <3467 yasha< > a pot <0610 >acuwk > of oil <8081

3 Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, borrow <7592

sha>al > thee vessels <3627 k@liy > abroad <2351 chuwts > of all

<3605 kol > thy neighbours <7934 shaken >, [even] empty <7385

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

cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon thee and upon thy sons

<1121 ben >, and shalt pour <3332 yatsaq > out into <5921 <al >

all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 k@liy >, and

thou shalt set <5265 naca< > aside <5265 naca< > that which is

full <4392 male> >.

5 So she went <3212 yalak > from him, and shut <5462 cagar >

the door <1817 deleth > upon her and upon her sons <1121 ben >,

who <1992 hem > brought <5066 nagash > [the vessels] to her; and

she poured <3332 yatsaq > out.

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

k@liy > were full <4390 male> >, that she said <0559 >amar >

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

<3627 k@liy >. And he said <0559 >amar > unto her, [There is]

not a vessel <3627 k@liy > more <5750 <owd >. And the oil <8081

shemen > stayed <5975 <amad >.

7 Then she came <0935 bow> > and told <5046 nagad > the man

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >. And he said <0559 >amar >,

Go <3212 yalak >, sell <4376 makar > the oil <8081 shemen >,

and pay <7999 shalam > thy debt <5386 n@shiy >, and live <2421

chayah > thou and thy children <1121 ben > of the rest <3498

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

<0477 >Eliysha< > passed <5674 <abar > to Shunem <7766 Shuwnem >,

where <8033 sham > [was] a great <1419 gadowl > woman <0802

<1767 day > as he passed <5674 <abar > by, he turned <5493 cuwr

9 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >,

Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, I perceive <3045 yada< >

that this <1931 huw> > [is] an holy <6918 qadowsh > man <0376

10 Let us make <6213 <asah > a little <6996 qatan > chamber

when he cometh <0935 bow> > to us, that he shall turn <5493 cuwr

11 And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he

came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham >, and he turned <5493 cuwr

shakab > there <8033 sham >.

12 And he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his

servant <5288 na<ar >, Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th >

Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >. And when he had called <7121

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

careful <2729 charad > for us with all <3605 kol > this <2063

the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >? And she

answered <0559 >amar >, I dwell <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek

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

done <6213 <asah > for her? And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >

answered <0559 >amar >, Verily <61> she hath no <0369 >ayin >

child <1121 ben >, and her husband <0376 >iysh > is old <2204

zaqen >.

15 And he said <0559 >amar >, Call <7121 qara> > her. And when

he had called <7121 qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > in the

door <6607 pethach >.

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

<4150 mow<ed >, according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416

she said <0559 >amar >, Nay <0408 >al >, my lord <0113 >adown >,

[thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, do not lie

17 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > conceived <2030 hareh >, and

bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > at that season <4150 mow<ed

18. And when the child <3206 yeled > was grown <1431 gadal >,

it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he went <3318

yatsa> > out to his father <1> to the reapers <7114 qatsar >.

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

lad <5288 na<ar >, Carry <5375 nasa> > him to his mother <0517

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

21 And she went <5927 <alah > up, and laid <7901 shakab > him

22 And she called <7121 qara> > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >,

23 And he said <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > wilt

neither <3808 lo> > new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh >,

24 Then she saddled <2280 chabash > an ass <0860 >athown >, 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 bid <0559 >amar >

thee.

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 > to

Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his servant <5288 na<ar >, Behold <2009

hinneh >, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >:

26 Run <7323 ruwts > now <6258 <attah >, I pray <4994 na> >

thee, to meet <7125 qir>ah > her, and say <0559 >amar > unto her,

[Is it] well <7965 shalowm > with thee? [is it] well <7965

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

shalowm > with the child <3206 yeled >? And she 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 raphah >; for

her soul <5315 nephesh > [is] vexed <4843 marar > within her:

and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath hid <5956 <alam > [it] from me,

and hath not told <5046 nagad > me.

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 yad >,

and go <3212 yalak > thy way <1870 derek >: if <3588 kiy > thou

meet <4672 matsa> > any man <0376 >iysh >, salute <1288 barak >

him not; and if <3588 kiy > any <0376 >iysh > salute <1288 barak

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 chay >,

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

not leave <5800 <azab > thee. And he arose <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 <6963 qowl

<7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him,

and told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, The child

<5288 na<ar > is not awaked <6974 quwts >.

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 <7901 shakab > upon

his bed <4296 mittah >.

33 He went <0935 bow> > in therefore, and shut <5462 cagar >

the door <1817 deleth > upon them twain <8147 sh@nayim >, 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 <ayin >

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

hands <3709 kaph >: and he stretched <1457 gahar > 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 paqach >

his eyes <5869 <ayin >.

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 >

herself to the ground <0776 >erets >, and took <5375 nasa> > 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 >amar > unto his servant

<5288 na<ar >, Set <8239 shaphath > on the great <1419 gadowl >

pot <5518 ciyr >, and seethe <1310 bashal > pottage <5138 naziyd

39 And one <0259 >echad > went <3318 yatsa> > out into <0413

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

vine <1612 gephen >, and gathered <3950 laqat > thereof wild

<7704 sadeh > gourds <6498 paqqu<ah > his lap <0899 beged > full

<4393 m@lo> >, and came <0935 bow> > and shred <6398 palach >

[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 >enowsh

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

that they cried <6817 tsa<aq > out, and said <0559 >amar >, O

[thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, [there is]

death <4194 maveth > in the pot <5518 ciyr >. 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

loaves <3899 lechem > of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and full ears

<3759 karmel > of corn <3759 karmel > in the husk <6861 tsiqlon

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 >? He

said <0559 >amar > again, Give <5414 nathan > the people <5971

<am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >: for thus <3541 koh >

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

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

44 So he set <5414 nathan > [it] before <6440 paniym > them,

and they did eat <0398 >akal >, and left <3498 yathar >

[thereof], according to the word <1697 dabar > of the 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 >Aram >,

was a great <1419 gadowl > man <0376 >iysh > with his 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 <0802 >ishshah >.

3 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her mistress <1404 g@bereth >,

Would <0305 >achalay > God my lord <0113 >adown > [were] with

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that [is] in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown

tsara<ath >.

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

lord <0113 >adown >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <2063 zo>th >

and thus <2063 zo>th > said <1696 dabar > the maid <5291 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 <2091 zahab >, and ten

<6235 <eser > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of raiment <0899 beged

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 >elohiym >, to

kill <4191 muwth > and to make alive <2421 chayah >, that this

<2088 zeh > man doth send <7971 shalach > 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< > that

the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had rent <7167

qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, that he sent <7971 shalach >

to the king <4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4100

mah > hast thou rent <7167 qara< > thy clothes <0899 beged >?

let him come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> > to me, and he shall

know <3045 yada< > that there is a 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

basar > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to thee,

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 <7121

qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his

God <0430 >elohiym >, and strike <5130 nuwph > his hand <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 <2896 towb >

than all <3605 kol > the waters <4325 mayim > of 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 nabiy> > had bid

<1696 dabar > thee [do some] great <1419 gadowl > thing <1697

dabar >, wouldest thou not have done <6213 <asah > [it]? how

<0637 >aph > much rather then, when <3588 kiy > he saith <0559

>amar > to thee, Wash <7364 rachats >, and be clean <2891 taher

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 > like unto

the flesh <1320 basar > of a little <6995 qoten > child <5288

na<ar >, and he was clean <2891 taher >.

15. And he returned <7725 shuwb > to the man <0376 >iysh > of

God <0430 >elohiym >, he and all <3605 kol > his company <4264

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

before <6440 paniym > him: and he said <0559 >amar >, Behold

<2009 hinneh >, now <4994 na> > I know <3045 yada< > that [there

is] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in all <3605 kol > the

earth <0776 >erets >, but in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: now <6258

<attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, take <3947 laqach >

a blessing <1293 B@rakah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >.

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

liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I

stand <5975 <amad >, I will receive <3947 laqach > none. And he

urged <6484 patsar > him to take <3947 laqach > [it]; but he

refused <3985 ma>en >.

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

not then, I pray <4994 na> > thee, be given <5414 nathan > to

thy servant <5650 <ebed > two mules <6505 pered >' burden <4853

massa> > of earth <0127 >adamah >? for thy servant <5650 <ebed >

will henceforth <5750 <owd > offer <6213 <asah > neither <3808

lo> > burnt <5930 <olah > offering nor sacrifice <2077 zebach >

unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, but unto the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

18 In this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed >,

[that] when my master <0113 >adown > goeth <0935 bow> > into the

house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown > to worship <7812

shachah > there <8033 sham >, and he leaneth <8127 shen > on

<5921 <al > my hand <3027 yad >, and I bow <7812 shachah >

myself in the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >:

when I bow <7812 shachah > down <7812 shachah > myself in the

house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >, the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed > in

this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.

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 >.

20. But Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, the servant <5288 na<ar > of

Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430

>elohiym >, said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, my master

<0113 >adown > hath spared <2820 chasak > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >

this <2088 zeh > Syrian <0761 >Arammiy >, in not receiving <3947

laqach > at his hands <3027 yad > that which <0834 >aher > he

brought <0935 bow> >: but, [as] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth

<2416 chay >, I will run <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > him,

and take <3947 laqach > somewhat <3972 m@uwmah > of him.

21 So Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > followed <7291 radaph > after

<0310 >achar > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >. And when Naaman <5283

Na<aman > saw <7200 ra>ah > [him] running <7323 ruwts > after

<0310 >achar > him, he lighted <5307 naphal > down from the

chariot <4818 merkabah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and said

<0559 >amar >, [Is] all well <7965 shalowm >?

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

master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > me, saying <0559

>amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, even now <6258 <attah > there be

come <0935 bow> > to me from mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

of silver <3701 keceph >, and two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487

chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >.

23 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar >, Be content

<2974 ya>al >, take <3947 laqach > two talents <3603 kikkar >.

And he urged <6555 parats > him, and bound <6887 tsarar > two

<8147 sh@nayim > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >

in two <8147 sh@nayim > bags <2754 chariyt >, with two <8147

sh@nayim > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >,

and laid <5414 nathan > [them] upon two <8147 sh@nayim > of his

servants <5288 na<ar >; and they bare <5375 nasa> > [them]

24 And when he came <0935 bow> > to the tower <6076 <ophel >,

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

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

he let the men <0582 >enowsh > go <7971 shalach >, and they

departed <3212 yalak >.

25 But he went <0935 bow> > in, and stood <5975 <amad > before

>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Whence <0370 >aiyn >

[comest thou], Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >? And he said <0559 >amar

26 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Went <1980 halak > not

mine heart <3820 leb > [with thee], when the man <0376 >iysh >

turned <2015 haphak > again from his chariot <4818 merkabah > to

meet <7125 qir>ah > thee? [Is it] a time <6256 <eth > to receive

<3947 laqach > money <3701 keceph >, and to receive <3947 laqach

vineyards <3754 kerem >, and sheep <6629 tso>n >, and oxen <1241

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

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

seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769 <owlam >. And he went <3318

2Kings 6

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

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

yashab > with thee is too strait <6862 tsar > for us.

2 Let us go <3212 yalak >, we pray <4994 na> > thee, unto

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

> every man <0376 >iysh > a beam <6982 qowrah >, and let us make

<6213 <asah > us a place <4725 maqowm > there <8033 sham >,

where <8033 sham > we may dwell <3427 yashab >. And he answered

<0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > ye.

3 And one <0259 >echad > said <0559 >amar >, Be content <2974

ya>al >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, and go <3212 yalak > 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 <0160 >ahabah

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] up to

thee. And he put <7971 shalach > out his hand <3027 yad >, and

took <3947 laqach > 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 >almoniy > a

place <4725 maqowm > [shall be] my camp <8466 tachanah >.

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 thou pass

<5674 <abar > not such <2088 zeh > a place <4725 maqowm >; for

thither <8033 sham > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > are come <5185

nacheth > down <5181 nachath >.

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 >

him and warned <2094 zahar > him of, and saved <8104 shamar >

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

lo> > twice <8147 sh@nayim >.

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] for

the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

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 <5030

nabiy> > that [is] in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, telleth <5046

nagad > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > the

words <1697 dabar > that thou speakest <1696 dabar > in thy

bedchamber.

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 >iysh

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

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

the city <5892 <iyr > both with horses <5483 cuwc > and 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

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

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

>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, open <6491

paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of these <0428 >el-leh > [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 >akal >

and drunk <8354 shathah >, he sent <7971 shalach > them away,

and they went <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 >adown >. So

the bands <1416 g@duwd > of Syria <0758 >Aram > came <0935 bow>

<3478 Yisra>el >.

24. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > this

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

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

his host, and went <5927 <alah > up, and besieged <6696 tsuwr >

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

25 And there was a great <1419 gadowl > famine <7458 ra<ab > 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 <8084

sh@moniym > [pieces] of silver <3701 keceph >, and the fourth

<7255 roba< > part of a cab <6894 qab > of dove's <1686 dibyown

of silver <3701 keceph >.

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 >adown >, O

king <4428 melek >.

27 And he said <0559 >amar >, If the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 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 >?

28 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto her, What

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

<2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,

Give <5414 nathan > thy son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398

my son <1121 ben > to morrow <4279 machar >.

29 So we boiled <1310 bashal > my son <1121 ben >, and did 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

<0802 >ishshah >, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899

beged >; and he passed <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346

chowmah >, and the people <5971 <am > looked <7200 ra>ah >, and,

behold <2009 hinneh >, [he had] sackcloth <8242 saq > within

<1004 bayith > upon his flesh <1320 basar >.

31 Then he said <0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > do <6213

<asah > so <3541 koh > and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh >

to me, if <0518 >im > the head <7218 ro>sh > of Elisha <0477

stand <5975 <amad > on <5921 <al > him this day <3117 yowm >.

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

<1004 bayith >, and the elders <2205 zaqen > sat <3427 yashab >

with him; and [the king] sent <7971 shalach > a man <0376 >iysh

messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to him, he said <0559

<3588 kiy > this son <1121 ben > of a murderer <7523 ratsach >

hath sent <7971 shalach > to take <5493 cuwr > away mine head

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

behold <2009 hinneh >, the messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <3381

yarad > down <3381 yarad > unto him: and he said <0559 >amar >,

Behold <2009 hinneh >, this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > [is]

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; what <4100 mah > should I wait

<3176 yachal > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > any longer <5750

<owd >?

2Kings 7

1. Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085

shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;

Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

To morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth > [shall] a

measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > [be sold] for

a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and two measures <5429 c@>ah > of

barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, in the gate

<8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

2 Then a lord <7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher

answered <6030 <anah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would make <6213 <asah > windows <0699

hinneh >, thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > [it] with thine eyes

<5869 <ayin >, but shalt not eat <0398 >akal > thereof.

3. And there were four <0702 >arba< > leprous <6879 tsara< >

men <0582 >enowsh > at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the

gate <8179 sha<ar >: and they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh

4 If <0518 >im > we say <0559 >amar >, We will enter <0935 bow>

<8033 sham >: and if <0518 >im > we sit <3427 yashab > still

here <6311 poh >, we die <4191 muwth > also. Now <6258 <attah >

therefore come <3212 yalak >, and let us fall <5307 naphal >

unto the host <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >: if

<0518 >im > they save <2421 chayah > us alive <2421 chayah >, we

shall live <2421 chayah >; and if <0518 >im > they kill <4191

muwth > us, we shall but die <4191 muwth >.

5 And they rose <6965 quwm > up in the twilight <5399 nesheph >,

to go <0935 bow> > unto the camp <4264 machaneh > of the

Syrians <0758 >Aram >: and when they were come <0935 bow> > to

the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the camp <4264 machaneh >

6 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > had made the host <4264 machaneh

one <0376 >iysh > to another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, Lo <2009 hinneh

Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >, to come <0935 bow> > upon us.

7 Wherefore they arose <6965 quwm > and fled <5127 nuwc > in

the twilight <5399 nesheph >, and left <5800 <azab > their tents

<0168 >ohel >, and their horses <5483 cuwc >, and their asses

<2543 chamowr >, even the camp <4264 machaneh > as it [was], and

fled <5127 nuwc > for their life <5315 nephesh >.

8 And when <3588 kiy > these <0428 >el-leh > lepers <6879

9 Then they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another

tell <5046 nagad > the king's <4428 melek > household <1004

bayith >.

10 So they came <0935 bow> > and called <7121 qara> > unto the

porter <7778 show<er > of the city <5892 <iyr >: and they told

<5046 nagad > them, saying <0559 >amar >, We came <0935 bow> >

to the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and,

behold <2009 hinneh >, [there <8033 sham > was] no <0369 >ayin >

man <0376 >iysh > there <8033 sham >, neither <0369 >ayin >

voice <6963 qowl > of man <0120 >adam >, but horses <5483 cuwc >

tied <0631 >acar >, and asses <2543 chamowr > tied <0631 >acar >,

and the tents <0168 >ohel > as they [were].

11 And he called <7121 qara> > the porters <7778 show<er >; and

they told <5046 nagad > [it] to the king's <4428 melek > house

<1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah >.

12. And the king <4428 melek > arose <6965 quwm > in the night

<3915 layil >, and said <0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650

<ebed >, I will now <4994 na> > shew <5046 nagad > you what the

Syrians <0758 >Aram > have done <6213 <asah > to us. They know

<3045 yada< > that we [be] hungry <7456 ra<eb >; therefore are

they gone <3318 yatsa> > out of the camp <4264 machaneh > to

hide <2247 chabah > themselves in the field <7704 sadeh >,

saying <0559 >amar >, When <3588 kiy > they come <3318 yatsa> >

out of the city <5892 <iyr >, we shall catch <8610 taphas > them

alive <2416 chay >, and get <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the

city <5892 <iyr >.

13 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >

answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Let [some] take

<3947 laqach >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, five <2568 chamesh > of

the horses <5483 cuwc > that remain <7604 sha>ar >, which <0834

as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > that are left <7604 sha>ar > in it: behold <2009

hinneh >, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605 kol > the

multitude <1995 hamown > of the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > that

are consumed <8552 tamam >:) and let us send <7971 shalach > and

see <7200 ra>ah >.

14 They took <3947 laqach > therefore two <8147 sh@nayim >

chariot <7393 rekeb > horses <5483 cuwc >; and the king <4428

melek > sent <7971 shalach > after <0310 >achar > the host <4264

machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, saying <0559 >amar >,

Go <3212 yalak > and see <7200 ra>ah >.

15 And they went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > them unto

Jordan <3383 Yarden >: and, lo <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol >

the way <1870 derek > [was] full <4392 male> > of garments <0899

Syrians <0758 >Aram > had cast <7993 shalak > away in their

haste <2648 chaphaz >. And the messengers <4397 mal>ak >

returned <7725 shuwb >, and told <5046 nagad > the king <4428

melek >.

16 And the people <5971 <am > went <3318 yatsa> > out, and

spoiled <0962 bazaz > the tents <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians

<0758 >Aram >. So a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560

measures <5429 c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel

<8255 sheqel >, according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >.

17 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <6485 paqad > the lord

the gate <8179 sha<ar >: and the people <5971 <am > trode <7429

said <1696 dabar >, who <0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > when

the king <4428 melek > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to

him.

18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass as the man <0376 >iysh >

of God <0430 >elohiym > had spoken <1696 dabar > to the king

<4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, Two measures <5429 c@>ah >

of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and a

measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > for a shekel

<8255 sheqel >, shall be to morrow <4279 machar > about this

time <6256 <eth > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111

Shom@rown >:

19 And that lord <7991 shaliysh > answered <6030 <anah > the

man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and said <0559 >amar

should make <6213 <asah > windows <0699 >arubbah > in heaven

be? And he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou shalt

see <7200 ra>ah > it with thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, but shalt

not eat <0398 >akal > thereof.

20 And so <3651 ken > it fell <1961 hayah > out unto him: for

the people <5971 <am > trode <7429 ramac > upon him in the gate

<8179 sha<ar >, and he died <4191 muwth >.

2Kings 8

1. Then spake <1696 dabar > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > unto the

woman <0802 >ishshah >, whose <0834 >aher > son <1121 ben > he

had restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah >, saying <0559

household <1004 bayith >, and sojourn <1481 guwr > wheresoever

<0834 >aher > thou canst sojourn <1481 guwr >: for the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > for a famine <7458

ra<ab >; and it shall also <1571 gam > come <0935 bow> > upon

the land <0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh

2 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > arose <6965 quwm >, and did

<6213 <asah > after the saying <1697 dabar > of the man <0376

>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >: and she went <3212 yalak > with

her household <1004 bayith >, and sojourned <1481 guwr > in the

land <0776 >erets > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > seven

3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seven <7651 sheba< >

years <8141 shaneh >' end <7097 qatseh >, that the woman <0802

of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >: and she went <3318 yatsa>

melek > for her house <1004 bayith > and for her land <7704

4 And the king <4428 melek > talked <1696 dabar > with Gehazi

<1522 Geychaziy > the servant <5288 na<ar > of the man <0376

>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, saying <0559 >amar >, Tell

great <1419 gadowl > things that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > hath

done <6213 <asah >.

5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he was telling <5608

caphar > the king <4428 melek > how <0834 >aher > he had

restored <2421 chayah > a dead <4191 muwth > body to life <2421

chayah > to life <2421 chayah >, cried <6817 tsa<aq > to the

king <4428 melek > for her house <1004 bayith > and for her land

<7704 sadeh >. And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > said <0559 >amar >,

My lord <0113 >adown >, O king <4428 melek >, this <2063 zo>th >

[is] the woman <0802 >ishshah >, and this <2088 zeh > [is] her

son <1121 ben >, whom <0834 >aher > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >

restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah >.

6 And when the king <4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > the

woman <0802 >ishshah >, she told <5608 caphar > him. So the king

<4428 melek > appointed <5414 nathan > unto her a certain <0259

<7725 shuwb > all <3605 kol > that [was] hers, and all <3605 kol

the day <3117 yowm > that she left <5800 <azab > the land <0776

7. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <0935 bow> > to Damascus

<1834 Dammeseq >; and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > the king <4428

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sick <2470 chalah >; and it

was told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, The man <0376

<2008 hennah >.

8 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Hazael

<2371 Chaza>el >, Take <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah >

in thine hand <3027 yad >, and go <3212 yalak >, meet <7125

enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him,

saying <0559 >amar >, Shall I recover <2421 chayah > of this

<2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >?

9 So Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125

qir>ah > him, and took <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah >

with him, even of every <3605 kol > good <2898 tuwb > thing of

Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, forty <0705 >arba<iym > camels <1581

gamal >' burden <4853 massa> >, and came <0935 bow> > and stood

<5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him, and said <0559 >amar >,

Thy son <1121 ben > Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > king <4428 melek

saying <0559 >amar >, Shall I recover <2421 chayah > of this

<2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >?

10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go

<3212 yalak >, say <0559 >amar > unto him, Thou mayest certainly

recover <2421 chayah >: howbeit the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath

shewed <7200 ra>ah > me that he shall surely die <4191 muwth >.

11 And he settled <5975 <amad > his countenance <6440 paniym >

stedfastly <7760 suwm >, until <5704 <ad > he was ashamed <0954

buwsh >: and the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > wept

<1058 bakah >.

12 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar >, Why <4069

madduwa< > weepeth <1058 bakah > my lord <0113 >adown >? And he

answered <0559 >amar >, Because <3588 kiy > I know <3045 yada< >

the evil <7451 ra< > that thou wilt do <6213 <asah > unto the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: their strong

shalach > on fire <0784 >esh >, and their young <0970 bachuwr >

men wilt thou slay <2026 harag > with the sword <2719 chereb >,

and wilt dash <7376 ratash > their children <6768 Tseleq >, and

rip <1234 baqa< > up their women with child <2030 hareh >.

13 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar >, But what

<4100 mah >, [is] thy servant <5650 <ebed > a dog <3611 keleb >,

that he should do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > great <1419

gadowl > thing <1697 dabar >? And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >

answered <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath shewed

<7200 ra>ah > me that thou [shalt be] king <4428 melek > over

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

14 So he departed <3212 yalak > from Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >,

and came <0935 bow> > to his master <0113 >adown >; who <4310

miy > said <0559 >amar > to him, What <4100 mah > said <0559

>amar >, He told <0559 >amar > me [that] thou shouldest surely

recover <2421 chayah >.

15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283

mochorath >, that he took <3947 laqach > a thick cloth <4346

makbar >, and dipped <2881 tabal > [it] in water <4325 mayim >,

and spread <6566 paras > [it] on <5921 <al > his face <6440

paniym >, so that he died <4191 muwth >: and Hazael <2371

Chaza>el > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.

16. And in the fifth <2568 chamesh > year <8141 shaneh > of

Joram <3141 Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Jehoshaphat <3092

Y@howshaphat > [being] then king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah >, Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of

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

<3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak >.

17 Thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > years

<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign

<4427 malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > eight <8083 sh@moneh

18 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the

kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as did <6213

<asah > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >: for

the daughter <1323 bath > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > was his wife

<0802 >ishshah >: and he did evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869

<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

19 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would <14> not destroy <7843

shachath > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > for David <1732 David > his

servant's <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an >, as he promised <0559

20 In his days <3117 yowm > Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586

pasha< > from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and made a king <4428 melek > over <5921

<al > themselves <1992 hem >.

21 So Joram <3141 Yowram > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar

him: and he rose <6965 quwm > by night <3915 layil >, and smote

<5221 nakah > the Edomites <0130 >Edomiy > which compassed <5437

cabab > him about <0413 >el >, and the captains <8269 sar > of

the chariots <7393 rekeb >: and the people <5971 <am > fled

<5127 nuwc > into their tents <0168 >ohel >.

22 Yet Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586 pasha< > from under

<8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

unto this day <3117 yowm >. Then <0227 >az > Libnah <3841 Libnah

23 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Joram <3141 Yowram >, and all <3605 kol > that he did, [are]

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

the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah >?

24 And Joram <3141 Yowram > 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 >: and Ahaziah

<0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in

his stead <8478 tachath >.

25. In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3141 Yowram >

the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek >

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son

<1121 ben > of Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > king <4428 melek > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > begin to reign <4427 malak >.

26 Two <8147 sh@nayim > and twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141

shaneh > old <1121 ben > [was] Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > when he

began to reign <4427 malak >; and he reigned one <0259 >echad >

mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Athaliah <6271

<Athalyah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of Omri <6018 <Omriy >

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

27 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the

house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and did <6213

<asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, as [did] the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256

chathan > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >.

28 And he went <3212 yalak > with Joram <3141 Yowram > the son

against <5973 <im > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek >

Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > wounded <5221 nakah > Joram <3141

29 And king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram > went <7725 shuwb

went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 ra>ah > Joram

2Kings 9

1. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

called <7121 qara> > one <0259 >echad > of the children <1121

<7218 ro>sh >, and say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith

mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478

and flee <5127 nuwc >, and tarry <2442 chakah > not.

4 So the young <5288 na<ar > man, [even] the young <5288 na<ar

5 And when <3588 kiy > he came <0935 bow> >, behold <2009

hinneh >, the captains <8269 sar > of the host <2428 chayil >

[were] sitting <3427 yashab >; and he said <0559 >amar >, I have

an errand <1697 dabar > to thee, O captain <8269 sar >. And Jehu

<3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, Unto which <4310 miy > of all

<3605 kol > us? And he said <0559 >amar >, To thee, O captain

<8269 sar >.

6 And he arose <6965 quwm >, and went <0935 bow> > into the

house <1004 bayith >; and he poured <3332 yatsaq > the oil <8081

shemen > on <0413 >el > his head <7218 ro>sh >, and said <0559

<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,

I have anointed <4886 mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over

<0413 >el > the people <5971 <am > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

[even] over <0413 >el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

7 And thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > the house <1004 bayith >

of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > thy master <0113 >adown >, that I may

avenge <5358 naqam > the blood <1818 dam > of my servants <5650

<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and the blood <1818 dam >

of all <3605 kol > the servants <5650 <ebed > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, at the hand <3027 yad > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.

8 For the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256

from Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > him that pisseth <8366 shathan >

against the wall <7023 qiyr >, and him that is shut <6113 <atsar

9 And I will make <5414 nathan > the house <1004 bayith > of

Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > like the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam

<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and

like the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son

<1121 ben > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah >:

10 And the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel

<0348 >Iyzebel > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157

Yizr@<e>l >, and [there shall be] none <0369 >ayin > to bury

<6912 qabar > [her]. And he opened <6605 pathach > the door

<1817 deleth >, and fled <5127 nuwc >.

11. Then Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> > to the servants <5650 <ebed > of his lord <0113 >adown

shalowm >? wherefore <4069 madduwa< > came <0935 bow> > this

<2088 zeh > mad <7696 shaga< > [fellow] to thee? And he said

<0559 >amar > unto them, Ye know <3045 yada< > the man <0376

12 And they said <0559 >amar >, [It is] false <8267 sheqer >;

tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >. And he said <0559 >amar >,

Thus <2063 zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > spake <0559 >amar >

he to me, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

13 Then they hasted <4116 mahar >, and took <3947 laqach >

every man <0376 >iysh > his garment <0899 beged >, and put <7760

suwm > [it] under <8478 tachath > him on <0413 >el > the top

<1634 gerem > of the stairs <4609 ma<alah >, and blew <8628

taqa< > with trumpets <7782 showphar >, saying <0559 >amar >,

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > is king <4427 malak >.

14 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat

<3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy

Yowram >. (Now Joram <3141 Yowram > had kept <8104 shamar >

Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >, he and all <3605 kol > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, because <6440 paniym > of Hazael <2371

Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.

15 But king <4428 melek > Joram <3188 yachas > was returned

<7725 shuwb > to be healed <7495 rapha> > in Jezreel <3157

Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which <0834 >aher > the

Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > had given <5221 nakah > him, when he

fought <3898 lacham > with Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.) And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said

<0559 >amar >, If <0518 >im > it be your minds <5315 nephesh >,

[then] let none <0408 >al > go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

<3212 yalak > to tell <5046 nagad > [it] in Jezreel <3157

Yizr@<e>l >.

16. So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > rode <7392 rakab > in a chariot, 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 <7200 ra>ah >

Joram <3141 Yowram >.

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

<5921 <al > the tower <4026 migdal > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > as he came <0935 bow> >, and said <0559

>amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a company <8229 shiph<ah >. And

Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > an

horseman <7395 rakkab >, and send <7971 shalach > to meet <7125

qir>ah > them, and let him say <0559 >amar >, [Is it] peace

<7965 shalowm >?

18 So there went <3212 yalak > one on horseback to meet <7125

qir>ah > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith

<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, [Is it] peace <7965

shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, What

<4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm >? turn

<5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me. And the watchman

<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 > on

horseback, which came <0935 bow> > to them, and said <0559 >amar

[Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > answered

<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965

shalowm >? turn <5437 cabab > thee 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 > of Jehu <3058

Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy >; for he

driveth <5090 nahag > furiously <7697 shigga<own >.

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

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <3318 yatsa> > out, each

<0376 >iysh > in his chariot <7393 rekeb >, and they went <3318

yatsa> > out against <7125 qir>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and met

<4672 matsa> > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of 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 Yehuw> >? And he

answered <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > peace <7965 shalowm >,

so long <5704 <ad > as the whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > of thy

mother <0517 >em > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > and her witchcrafts

<3785 kesheph > [are so] many <7227 rab >?

23 And Joram <3188 yachas > turned <2015 haphak > his hands

<3027 yad >, and fled <5127 nuwc >, and said <0559 >amar > to

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

O Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >.

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

full <4390 male> > strength <3027 yad >, and smote <5221 nakah >

Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > between <0996 beyn > his arms <2220

z@rowa< >, and the arrow <2678 chitstsiy > went <3318 yatsa> >

out at his heart <3820 leb >, and he sunk <3766 kara< > down in

his chariot <7393 rekeb >.

25 Then said <0559 >amar > [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920 Bidqar > his

captain <7991 shaliysh >, Take <5375 nasa> > up, [and] cast

<7993 shalak > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of the field

<7704 sadeh > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158

Yizr@<e>liy >: for remember <2142 zakar > how that, when I and

thou rode <7392 rakab > together <6776 tsemed > after <0310

>achar > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his father <1>, the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > laid <5375 nasa> > this <2088 zeh > burden <4853

massa> > upon him;

26 Surely I have seen <7200 ra>ah > yesterday <0570 >emesh >

the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, and the blood

<1818 dam > of his sons <1121 ben >, saith <0559 >amar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will requite <7999 shalam > thee in

this <2063 zo>th > plat <2513 chelqah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Now <6258 <attah > therefore take <5375

nasa> > [and] cast <7993 shalak > him into the plat <2513

chelqah > [of ground], according to the word <1697 dabar > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

27 But when Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the king <4428 melek > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [this], he fled <5127

nuwc > by the way <1870 derek > of the garden <1588 gan > house

<1004 bayith >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > followed <7291 radaph >

after <0310 >achar > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221

nakah > him also <1571 gam > in the chariot <4818 merkabah >.

[And they did so] at the going <4608 ma<aleh > up to Gur <1483

Guwr >, which <0834 >aher > [is] by Ibleam <2991 Yibl@<am >. And

he fled <5127 nuwc > to Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and died

<4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >.

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 fathers

<1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >.

29 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3188

yachas > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > began

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

30. And when Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > was come <0935 bow> > to

Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard <8085

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

tired <3190 yatab > her head <7218 ro>sh >, and looked <8259

shaqaph > out at <1157 b@<ad > a window <2474 challown >.

31 And as Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > entered <0935 bow> > in at the

gate <8179 sha<ar >, she said <0559 >amar >, [Had] Zimri <2174

Zimriy > peace <7965 shalowm >, who slew <2026 harag > his

master <0113 >adown >?

32 And he lifted <5375 nasa> > up his face <6440 paniym > to

the window <2474 challown >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310

miy > [is] on <0854 >eth > my side? who <4310 miy >? And there

looked <8259 shaqaph > out to him two <8147 sh@nayim > [or]

three <7969 shalowsh > eunuchs <5631 cariyc >.

33 And he said <0559 >amar >, Throw <8058 shamat > her down

<8058 shamat >. So they threw <8058 shamat > her down <8058

shamat >: and [some] of her blood <1818 dam > was sprinkled

<5137 nazah > on <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr >, and on <0413

under foot.

34 And when he was come <0935 bow> > in, he did eat <0398 >akal

paqad >, see now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th > cursed <0779

king's <4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath >.

35 And they went <3212 yalak > to bury <6912 qabar > her: but

they found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > more of her than the

skull <1538 gulgoleth >, and the feet <7272 regel >, and the

palms <3709 kaph > of [her] hands <3027 yad >.

36 Wherefore they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and

told <5046 nagad > him. And he said <0559 >amar >, This <1931

huw> > [is] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant <5650

saying <0559 >amar >, In the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel

37 And the carcase <5038 n@belah > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >

This <2063 zo>th > [is] Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.

2Kings 10

1. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > had seventy <7657 shib<iym. > sons

<1121 ben > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw>

and to them that brought <0539 >aman > up Ahab's <0256 >Ach>ab >

[children], saying <0559 >amar >,

2 Now <6258 <attah > as soon as this <2088 zeh > letter <5612

cepher > cometh <0935 bow> > to you, seeing your master's <0113

3 Look <7200 ra>ah > even out the best <2896 towb > and meetest

and set <7760 suwm > [him] on <5921 <al > his father's <1>

throne <3678 kicce> >, and fight <3898 lacham > for your

master's <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith >.

4 But they were exceedingly <3966 m@<od > afraid <3372 yare> >,

and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147

5 And he that [was] over <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith >,

and he that [was] over <5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr >, the

elders <2205 zaqen > also, and the bringers <0539 >aman > up [of

the children], sent <7971 shalach > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >,

saying <0559 >amar >, We [are] thy servants <5650 <ebed >, and

6 Then he wrote <3789 kathab > a letter <5612 cepher > the

second <8145 sheniy > time to them, saying <0559 >amar >, If

7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the letter <5612

8 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak >, and

told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, They have brought

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

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

concerning <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256

[that] which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant

<5650 <ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.

11 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol >

that remained <7604 sha>ar > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, and all <3605 kol

and his priests <3548 kohen >, until <5704 <ad > he left <7604

12 And he arose <6965 quwm > and departed <0935 bow> >, and

came <1980 halak > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. [And] as he

[was] at the shearing house <1004 bayith > in the way <1870

derek >,

13 Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > met <4672 matsa> > with the brethren

<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy >

[are] ye? And they answered <0559 >amar >, We [are] the brethren

<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >; and we go <3381 yarad

14 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <8610 taphas > them alive

<2416 chay >. And they took <8610 taphas > them alive <2416 chay

shearing <1044 Beyth <Eqed > house <1004 bayith >, [even] two

neither <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > he any <0376 >iysh > of

them.

15. And when he was departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham >,

he lighted <4672 matsa> > on <0854 >eth > Jehonadab <3082

Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >

[coming] to meet <7125 qir>ah > him: and he saluted <1288 barak

heart <3824 lebab >? And Jehonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > answered

<0559 >amar >, It is. If it be, give <5414 nathan > [me] thine

hand <3027 yad >. And he gave <5414 nathan > [him] his hand

<3027 yad >; and he took <5927 <alah > him up to him into <0413

16 And he said <0559 >amar >, Come <3212 yalak > with me, and

see <7200 ra>ah > my zeal <7068 qin>ah > for the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >. So they made him ride <7392 rakab > in his chariot

<7393 rekeb >.

17 And when he came <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >,

he slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > that remained <7604 sha>ar

<5704 <ad > he had destroyed <8045 shamad > him, according to

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

<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.

18 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605

unto them, Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168

Ba<al > a little <4592 m@<at >; [but] Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall

serve <5647 <abad > him much <7235 rabah >.

19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore call <7121 qara> > unto me all

<3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >,

all <3605 kol > his servants <5647 <abad >, and all <3605 kol >

his priests <3548 kohen >; let none be wanting <6485 paqad >:

for I have a great <1419 gadowl > sacrifice <2077 zebach > [to

do] to Baal <1168 Ba<al >; whosoever shall be wanting <6485

paqad >, he shall not live <2421 chayah >. But Jehu <3058 Yehuw>

intent <4616 ma<an > that he might destroy <6> the worshippers

<5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >.

20 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <6942

qadash > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah > for

Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And they proclaimed <7121 qara> > [it].

21 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > sent <7971 shalach > through all

<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and all <3605 kol > the

worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > came <0935 bow>

that came <0935 bow> > not. And they came <0935 bow> > into the

house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >; and the house <1004

bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > was full <4390 male> > from one

end <6310 peh > to another.

22 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him that [was] over <5921 <al

yatsa> > vestments <3830 l@buwsh > for all <3605 kol > the

worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And he brought

<3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > vestments <4403

malbuwsh >.

23 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > went <0935 bow> >, and Jehonadab

<3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >,

into the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and said

<0559 >amar > unto the worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168

Ba<al >, Search <2664 chaphas >, and look <7200 ra>ah > that

there be here <6311 poh > with you none of the servants <5650

<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, but the worshippers <5647

<abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > only <0905 bad >.

24 And when <3588 kiy > they went <0935 bow> > in to offer

<6213 <asah > sacrifices <2077 zebach > and burnt <5930 <olah >

offerings, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > appointed <7760 suwm > fourscore

<8084 sh@moniym > men <0376 >iysh > without <2351 chuwts >, and

said <0559 >amar >, [If] any of the men <0582 >enowsh > whom

<0834 >aher > I have brought <0935 bow> > into <5921 <al > your

hands <3027 yad > escape <4422 malat >, [he that letteth him go],

his life <2421 chayah > [shall be] for the life <5315 nephesh >

of him.

25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon as he had made an

end <3615 kalah > of offering <6213 <asah > the burnt <5930

<olah > offering, that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > to

the guard <7323 ruwts > and to the captains <7991 shaliysh >, Go

<0935 bow> > in, [and] slay <5221 nakah > them; let none <0408

>al > come <3381 yarad > forth <3318 yatsa> >. And they smote

<5221 nakah > them with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword <2719

chereb >; and the guard <7323 ruwts > and the captains <7991

shaliysh > cast <7993 shalak > [them] out, and went <3212 yalak

<1168 Ba<al >.

26 And they brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the

images <4676 matstsebah > out of the house <1004 bayith > of

Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and burned <8313 saraph > them.

27 And they brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the

image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and brake <5422

nathats > down <5422 nathats > the house <1004 bayith > of Baal

<1168 Ba<al >, and made <7760 suwm > it a draught <4280

machara>ah > house unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

28 Thus <3541 koh > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > destroyed <8045 shamad

29. Howbeit [from] the sins <2399 chet> > 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> >, Jehu

<3058 Yehuw> > departed <5493 cuwr > not from after <0310 >achar

that [were] in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and that [were] in Dan

<1835 Dan >.

30 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Jehu

<3058 Yehuw> >, Because thou hast done well <2895 towb > in

executing <6213 <asah > [that which is] right <3225 yamiyn > in

mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, [and] hast done <6213 <asah > unto the

house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > according to all

<3605 kol > that [was] in mine heart <3824 lebab >, thy children

<1121 ben > of the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > [generation] shall

sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

31 But Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > took no <3808 lo> > heed <8104

shamar > to walk <3212 yalak > in the law <8451 towrah > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > with all <3605 kol > his heart <3824 lebab >: for he

departed <5493 cuwr > not from the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, which <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478

Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.

32 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > began <2490 chalal > to cut <7096 qatsah > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > short: and Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > smote <5221

nakah > them in all <3605 kol > the coasts <1366 g@buwl > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;

33 From Jordan <3383 Yarden > eastward, all <3605 kol > the

land <0776 >erets > of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >, the Gadites <1425

Gadiy >, and the Reubenites <7206 R@>uwbeniy >, and the

Manassites <4520 M@nashshiy >, from Aroer <6177 <Arow<er >,

which <0834 >aher > [is] by the river <5158 nachal > Arnon <0769

34 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah

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

chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >?

35 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1>: and they buried <6912 qabar > him in Samaria <8111

Shom@rown >. And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > his son <1121 ben

36 And the time <3117 yowm > that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > reigned

<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > [was] twenty <6242 <esriym > and eight

2Kings 11

1. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > the mother <0517 >em >

of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > saw <7200 ra>ah > that her son

<1121 ben > was dead <4191 muwth >, she arose <6965 quwm > and

destroyed <6> all <3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > royal <4467

mamlakah >.

2 But Jehosheba <3089 Y@howsheba< >, the daughter <1323 bath >

of king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram >, sister <0269

Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the son <1121 ben > of Ahaziah <0274

<4191 muwth >; and they hid <5641 cathar > him, [even] him and

his nurse <3243 yanaq >, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271

<Athalyah >, so that he was not slain <4191 muwth >.

3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004 bayith > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh >.

And Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > did reign <4427 malak > over

<5921 <al > the land <0776 >erets >.

4. And the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh >

Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > sent <7971 shalach > and fetched <3947

laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah >,

with the captains <3746 kariy > and the guard <7323 ruwts >, and

brought <0935 bow> > them to him into the house <1004 bayith >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made <3772 karath > a covenant

<1285 b@riyth > with them, and took an oath <7650 shaba< > of

them in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the king's <4428 melek > son <1121

5 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > them, saying <0559 >amar >,

This <2088 zeh > [is] the thing <1697 dabar > that ye shall do

<6213 <asah >; A third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part of you that enter

keepers <8104 shamar > of the watch <4931 mishmereth > of the

king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >;

6 And a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part [shall be] at the gate

broken <4535 maccach > down <4535 maccach >.

7 And two <8147 sh@nayim > parts <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol >

you that go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > on the sabbath

8 And ye shall compass <5362 naqaph > the king <4428 melek >

be slain <4191 muwth >: and be ye with the king <4428 melek > as

he goeth <3318 yatsa> > out and as he cometh <0935 bow> > in.

9 And the captains <8269 sar > over the hundreds <3967 me>ah >

did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > [things] that

Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > commanded

<6680 tsavah >: and they took <3947 laqach > every man <0376

in on the sabbath <7676 shabbath >, with them that should go

<3318 yatsa> > out on the sabbath <7676 shabbath >, and came

<0935 bow> > to Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen

10 And to the captains <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah >

did the priest <3548 kohen > give <5414 nathan > king <4428

melek > David's <1732 David > spears <2595 chaniyth > and

shields <7982 shelet >, that [were] in the temple <1004 bayith >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

11 And the guard <7323 ruwts > stood <5975 <amad >, every man

<0376 >iysh > with his weapons <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027

yad >, round <5439 cabiyb > about <5921 <al > the king <4428

<3802 katheph > of the temple <1004 bayith >, [along] by the

altar <4196 mizbeach > and the temple <1004 bayith >.

12 And he brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the

king's <4428 melek > son <1121 ben >, and put <5414 nathan > the

crown <5145 nezer > upon him, and [gave him] the testimony

<5715>; and they made him king <4427 malak >, and anointed <4886

mashach > him; and they clapped <5221 nakah > their hands <3709

kaph >, and said <0559 >amar >, God save <2421 chayah > the king

<4428 melek >.

13. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > heard <8085 shama< >

the noise <6963 qowl > of the guard <7323 ruwts > [and] of the

people <5971 <am >, she came <0935 bow> > to the people <5971

14 And when she looked <7200 ra>ah >, behold <2009 hinneh >,

the king <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > by a pillar <5982

<ammuwd >, as the manner <4941 mishpat > [was], and the princes

land <0776 >erets > rejoiced <8056 sameach >, and blew <8628

taqa< > with trumpets: and Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > rent <7167

qara< > her clothes <0899 beged >, and cried <7121 qara> >,

Treason <7195 qesher >, Treason <7195 qesher >.

15 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >

commanded <6680 tsavah > the captains <8269 sar > of the

hundreds <3967 me>ah >, the officers <6485 paqad > of the host

yatsa> > her forth <3318 yatsa> > without the ranges <7713

s@derah >: and him that followeth her kill <4191 muwth > with

the sword <2719 chereb >. For the priest <3548 kohen > had said

<0559 >amar >, Let her not be slain <4191 muwth > in the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

16 And they laid <7760 suwm > hands <3027 yad > on her; and she

went <0935 bow> > by the way <1870 derek > by the which the

horses <5483 cuwc > came <3996 mabow> > into the king's <4428

melek > house <1004 bayith >: and there <8033 sham > was she

slain <4191 muwth >.

17. And Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > made <3772 karath > a

covenant <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > the LORD <3068

people <5971 <am >.

18 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776

<1168 Ba<al >, and brake <5422 nathats > it down <5422 nathats >;

his altars <4196 mizbeach > and his images <6754 tselem > brake

<2026 harag > Mattan <4977 Mattan > the priest <3548 kohen > of

officers <6486 p@quddah > over <5921 <al > the house <1004

19 And he took <3947 laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over

2Kings 12

1. In the seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehu

<3058 Yehuw> > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > began to reign <4427

his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Zibiah <6645

2 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > did <6213 <asah > [that which

was] right <3477 yashar > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm > wherein

<0834 >aher > Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >

instructed <3384 yarah > him.

3 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr >

away <5493 cuwr >: the people <5971 <am > still <5750 <owd >

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

4. And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > said <0559 >amar > to the

priests <3548 kohen >, All <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph >

<3068 Y@hovah >,

5 Let the priests <3548 kohen > take <3947 laqach > [it] to

them, every man <0376 >iysh > of his acquaintance <4378 makka >:

and let them repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of

the house <1004 bayith >, wheresoever any <0376 >iysh > breach

<0919 bedeq > shall be found <4672 matsa> >.

6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969 shalowsh > and

twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428

melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the priests <3548 kohen > had

not repaired <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the

house <1004 bayith >.

7 Then king <4428 melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > called

<7121 qara> > for Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548

kohen >, and the [other] priests <3548 kohen >, and said <0559

<6258 <attah > therefore receive <3947 laqach > no <0408 >al >

[more] money <3701 keceph > of your acquaintance <4378 makka >,

but deliver <5414 nathan > it for the breaches <0919 bedeq > of

the house <1004 bayith >.

8 And the priests <3548 kohen > consented <0225 >uwth > to

receive <3947 laqach > no <1115 biltiy > [more] money <3701

keceph > of the people <5971 <am >, neither <1115 biltiy > to

repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house

9 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > took

<3947 laqach > a chest <0727 >arown >, and bored <5344 naqab > a

hole <2356 chowr > in the lid <1817 deleth > of it, and set

10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200 ra>ah > that [there

was] much <7225 re>shiyth > money <3701 keceph > in the chest

<0727 >arown >, that the king's <4428 melek > scribe <5608

was found <4672 matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >.

11 And they gave <5414 nathan > the money <3701 keceph >, being

told <8505 takan >, into <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of

them that did <6213 <asah > the work <4399 m@la>kah >, that had

the oversight <6485 paqad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and they laid <3318 yatsa> > it out to the

carpenters <6086 <ets > and builders <1129 banah >, that wrought

<6213 <asah > upon the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

12 And to masons <1443 gadar >, and hewers <2672 chatsab > of

yatsa> > out for the house <1004 bayith > to repair <2393

chezqah > [it].

13 Howbeit there were not made <6213 <asah > for the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bowls <5592 caph > of

silver <3701 keceph >, snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, basons <4219

14 But they gave <5414 nathan > that to the workmen, and

repaired <2388 chazaq > therewith the house <1004 bayith > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

15 Moreover they reckoned <2803 chashab > not with the men

<0582 >enowsh >, into <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand <3027

<asah > faithfully <0530 >emuwnah >.

16 The trespass <0817 >asham > money <3701 keceph > and sin

money <3701 keceph > was not brought <0935 bow> > into the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: it was the priests

17. Then <0227 >az > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek >

of Syria <0758 >Aram > went <5927 <alah > up, and fought <3898

lacham > against <5921 <al > Gath <1661 Gath >, and took <3920

18 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the

hallowed <6944 qodesh > things that Jehoshaphat <3092

19 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

20 And his servants <5650 <ebed > arose <6965 quwm >, and made

a conspiracy <7195 qesher >, and slew <5221 nakah > Joash <3101

2Kings 13

1. In the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >

Y@huwdah > Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > the son <1121 ben > of

reigned] seventeen <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh >.

2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in

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

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

the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, which made Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >; he departed <5493 cuwr >

not therefrom.

3 And the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was

kindled <2734 charah > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and he

delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of

4 And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > besought <2470 chalah > the

the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > oppressed <3905

5 (And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Israel

6 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > they departed <5493 cuwr > not from

11 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< >

12 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

13 And Joash <3101 Yow>ash > slept <7901 shakab > with his

upon his throne <3678 kicce> >: and Joash <3101 Yow>ash > was

buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > with the kings

14 Now Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was fallen sick <2470 chalah >

of his sickness <2483 choliy > whereof <0834 >aher > he died

<4191 muwth >. And Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king <4428 melek >

15 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Take <3947 laqach > bow <7198 qesheth > and arrows <2671 chets >.

And he took <3947 laqach > unto him bow <7198 qesheth > and

arrows <2671 chets >.

16 And he said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of

17 And he said <0559 >amar >, Open <6605 pathach > the window

Shoot <3384 yarah >. And he shot <3384 yarah >. And he said

18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > the arrows

And he smote <5221 nakah > thrice, and stayed <5975 <amad >.

19 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > was wroth

<7107 qatsaph > with him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thou shouldest

have smitten <5221 nakah > five <2568 chamesh > or <0176 >ow >

20. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > died <4191 muwth >, and they

buried <6912 qabar > him. And the bands <1416 g@duwd > of the

Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > invaded <0935 bow> > the land <0776

23 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was gracious <2603 chanan >

1. In the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Joash

<3101 Yow>ash > son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz >

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > reigned <4427

malak > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash

<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

2 He was twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years

<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427

malak >, and reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and

nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >

[was] Jehoaddan <3086 Y@how<addiyn > of Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >.

3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

<7535 raq > not like David <1732 David > his father <1>: he did

<6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > things as Joash <3101

Yow>ash > his father <1> did <6213 <asah >.

4 Howbeit the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493

cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >: as yet <5750 <owd > the people <5971

<am > did sacrifice <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar >

incense <6999 qatar > on the high <1116 bamah > places.

5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon <0834 >aher > as

the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > was confirmed <2388 chazaq > in his

hand <3027 yad >, that he slew <5221 nakah > his servants <5650

<ebed > which <0834 >aher > had slain <5221 nakah > the king

<4428 melek > his father <1>.

6 But the children <1121 ben > of the murderers <5221 nakah >

he slew <4191 muwth > not: according unto that which is written

<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the law <8451

towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, wherein <0834 >aher > the LORD

The fathers <1> shall not be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191

muwth > for the children <1121 ben >, nor <3808 lo> > the

children <1121 ben > be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth >

for the fathers <1>; but every man <0376 >iysh > shall be put

<4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth > for his own sin <2399 chet>

7 He slew <5221 nakah > of Edom <0123 >Edom > in the valley

shem > of it Joktheel <3371 Yoqth@>el > unto this <2088 zeh >

day <3117 yowm >.

8. Then <0227 >az > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > sent <7971

shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash >,

the son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > son <1121

Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Come <3212 yalak >, let us

look <7200 ra>ah > one another in the face <6440 paniym >.

9 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent <7971 shalach > to Amaziah <0558

>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying

<0559 >amar >, The thistle <2336 chowach > that [was] in Lebanon

<3844 L@banown > sent <7971 shalach > to the cedar <0730 >erez >

Give <5414 nathan > thy daughter <1323 bath > to my son <1121

by a wild <7704 sadeh > beast <2416 chay > that [was] in Lebanon

<3844 L@banown >, and trode <7429 ramac > down the thistle <2336

chowach >.

10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221 nakah > Edom <0123 >Edom >,

and thine heart <3820 leb > hath lifted <5375 nasa> > thee up:

glory <3513 kabad > [of this], and tarry <3427 yashab > at home

<1004 bayith >: for why shouldest thou meddle <1624 garah > to

[thy] hurt <7451 ra< >, that thou shouldest fall <5307 naphal >,

[even] thou, and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > with thee?

11 But Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > would not hear <8085 shama< >.

Therefore Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up; and he and Amaziah <0558

>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > looked

Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, which <0834 >aher >

[belongeth] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

12 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was put to the worse <5062 nagaph

<5127 nuwc > every man <0376 >iysh > to their tents <0168 >ohel

13 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > took <8610 taphas > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, the son <1121 ben

came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and brake

Y@ruwshalaim > from the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Ephraim <0669

four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits <0520 >ammah >.

14 And he took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the gold <2091

zahab > and silver <3701 keceph >, and all <3605 kol > the

vessels <3627 k@liy > that were found <4672 matsa> > in the

<1004 bayith >, and hostages, and returned <7725 shuwb > to

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

15. Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah

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

16 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > slept <7901 shakab > with his

Shom@rown > with the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

17 And Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash

<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

lived <2421 chayah > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194 maveth

fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >.

18 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab >

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

the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?

19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195 qesher > against <5921 <al

20 And they brought <5375 nasa> > him on <5921 <al > horses

<5483 cuwc >: and he was buried <6912 qabar > at Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > with his fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of

David <1732 David >.

21 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, which

<1931 huw> > [was] sixteen years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >,

and made him king <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of his

father <1> Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >.

22 He built <1129 banah > Elath <0359 >Eylowth >, and restored

<7725 shuwb > it to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, after <0310 >achar >

that the king <4428 melek > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1>.

23. In the fifteenth <6240 <asar > year <8141 shaneh > of

Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101

Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > Jeroboam

<0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years <8141 shaneh >.

24 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< >

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

departed <5493 cuwr > not from all <3605 kol > the sins <2403

Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478

Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.

25 He restored <7725 shuwb > the coast <1366 g@buwl > of Israel

Chamath > unto the sea <3220 yam > of the plain <6160 <arabah >,

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834

of Amittai <0573 >Amittay >, the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, which

<0834 >aher > [was] of Gathhepher <1662 Gath-ha-Chepher >.

26 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw <7200 ra>ah > the

affliction <6040 <oniy > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that it

was] very <3966 m@<od > bitter <4784 marah >: for [there was]

27 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <1696 dabar > not that he

would blot <4229 machah > out the name <8034 shem > of Israel

28 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

Yisra>el >; and Zachariah <2148 Z@karyah > his son <1121 ben >

3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > smote <5221 nakah > the king

<4428 melek >, so that he was a leper <6879 tsara< > unto the

day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >, and dwelt <3427

7 So Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1>; and they buried <6912 qabar > him with his fathers

<1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >: and Jotham

written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the

15 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

and made his son <1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the

>Ashshuwr > took <3920 lakad > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and

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

into Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and placed <3427 yashab > them

in Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] 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 Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim >, from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad

Mitsrayim >, and had feared <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher >

gods <0430 >elohiym >,

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

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and of the

kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834

>aher > they had made <6213 <asah >.

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

secretly <2644 chapha> > [those] things <1697 dabar > that

[were] not right <3651 ken > against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and they built <1129 banah

<5892 <iyr >, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen

<5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.

10 And they set <5324 natsab > them up images <4676 matstsebah

> and groves <0842 >asherah > in every <3605 kol > high <1364

gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah >, and under <8478 tachath > every

<3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >:

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 >amar >

unto them, Ye shall not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 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< > ways <1870 derek >, and

keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > [and] my

statutes <2708 chuqqah >, according to all <3605 kol > the law

<8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah >

your fathers <1>, and which <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 nachash

>, and sold <4376 makar > themselves to do <6213 <asah > evil

<7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 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

none <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > but the tribe <7626 shebet

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

19 Also <1571 gam > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > kept <8104 shamar >

not the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

their God <0430 >elohiym >, but walked <3212 yalak > in the

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

>aher > they made <6213 <asah >.

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

>achar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made them sin <2398

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

> of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213

<asah >; they departed <5493 cuwr > not from them;

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

cuwr > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of his sight <6440 paniym >,

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

own land <0127 >adamah > to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > unto this

<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 >

of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, The 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 <0776 >erets >:

therefore he hath sent <7971 shalach > lions <0738 >ariy >

among them, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they slay <4191 muwth >

them, because <0834 >aher > they know <3045 yada< > not the

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

<0776 >erets >.

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

<3548 kohen > whom <0834 >aher > ye brought <1540 galah > from

thence <8033 sham >; and let them go <3212 yalak > and dwell

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

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

the land <0776 >erets >.

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

yashab > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and taught <3384 yarah >

them how <0349 >eyk > they should fear <3372 yare> > the LORD

<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

> in fire <0784 >esh > to Adrammelech <0152 >Adrammelek > and

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

thence <8033 sham >.

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

after the former <7223 ri>shown > manners <4941 mishpat >: they

fear <3373 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, neither <0369

>ayin > do <6213 <asah > they after their statutes <2708 chuqqah

>achar > the law <8451 towrah > and commandment <4687 mitsvah >

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

tsavah > the children <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, whom

<0834 >aher > he named <8034 shem > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;

35 With whom the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had made <3772 karath > a

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

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

<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, nor <3808 lo> > bow <7812

shachah > yourselves to them, nor <3808 lo> > serve <5647 <abad

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 >

and a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< >, him shall

ye fear <3372 yare> >, and him shall ye worship <7812 shachah >,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice <2076 zabach >.

37 And the statutes <2706 choq >, and the ordinances <4941

mishpat >, and the law <8451 towrah >, and the commandment <4687

mitsvah >, which <0834 >aher > he wrote <3789 kathab > for you,

ye shall observe <8104 shamar > to do <6213 <asah > for evermore;

and ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods

<0430 >elohiym >.

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 >

gods <0430 >elohiym >.

39 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ye

shall fear <3372 yare> >; and he shall deliver <5337 natsal >

you out of the hand <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > your enemies

<0341 >oyeb >.

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 <3373

yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and served <5647 <abad > their

graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, both <1571 gam > their children

<1121 ben >, and their children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben

they unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

2Kings 18

1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7969

shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son

<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > the son

<1121 ben > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak >.

2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141

shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign <4427

malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and

nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >. His mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > also

[was] Abi <21>, the daughter <1323 bath > of Zachariah <2148

Z@karyah >.

3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

according to all <3605 kol > that David <1732 David > his father

<1> did <6213 <asah >.

4 He removed <5493 cuwr > the high <1116 bamah > places, and

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

<3772 karath > down the groves <0842 >asherah >, and brake <3807

kathath > in pieces the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > serpent <5175

nachash > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > had made <6213 <asah >: for

unto those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the children <1121 ben

<6999 qatar > to it: and he called <7121 qara> > it Nehushtan

<5180 N@chushtan >.

5 He trusted <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God

<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; so that after <0310

>achar > him was none <3808 lo> > like <3644 k@mow > him among

all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

6 For he clave <1692 dabaq > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and]

departed <5493 cuwr > not from following <0310 >achar > him, but

kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >, which

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

Moses <4872 Mosheh >.

7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was with him; [and] he prospered

<7919 sakal > whithersoever he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> >: and he rebelled <4775 marad > against the king <4428

melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and served <5647 <abad >

him not.

8 He smote <5221 nakah > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >,

[even] unto Gaza <5804 <Azzah >, and the borders <1366 g@buwl >

thereof, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen <5341

natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.

9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243

r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah

<2396 Chizqiyah >, which <1958 hiy > [was] the seventh <7651

sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son

<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Shalmaneser <8022 Shalman>ecer > king

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5957 <alam > up

against <5921 <al > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and besieged

<6696 tsuwr > it.

10 And at the end <7097 qatseh > of three <7969 shalowsh >

years <8141 shaneh > they took <3920 lakad > it: [even] in the

sixth <8337 shesh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hezekiah <2396

Chizqiyah >, that [is] the ninth <8672 tesha< > year <8141

shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > was taken <3920

lakad >.

11 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > did

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

unto Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and put <5148 nachah > them in

Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] the

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

<5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday >:

12 Because they obeyed <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl

> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, but

transgressed <5674 <abar > his covenant <1285 b@riyth >, [and]

all <3605 kol > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650

<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >,

and would not hear <8085 shama< > [them], nor <3808 lo> > do

<6213 <asah > [them].

13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428

14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek >

15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > gave <5414 nathan > [him] all

22 But if <3588 kiy > ye say <0559 >amar > unto me, We trust

23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, give

24 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the

25 Am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without <1107

The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to me, Go <5927

26 Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son

27 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them,

Hath my master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy

28 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 <amad > and

33 Hath any <0376 >iysh > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the

34 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of

36 But the people <5971 <am > held <2790 charash > their peace

2Kings 19

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek >

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [it], that he

rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and covered <3680

2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, which

3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith

4 It may <0194 >uwlay > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God

5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah

<2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >.

6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them,

Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to your master <0113

7 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <5414 nathan > a blast <7307

8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and

found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

Kuwsh >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he is come <3318 yatsa> > out to

10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah

<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,

11 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast heard <8085 shama< > what

the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have done

<6213 <asah > to all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets >, by

destroying <2763 charam > them utterly: and shalt thou be

delivered <5337 natsal >?

12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy >

delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1>

have destroyed <0843 >Asheriy >; [as] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and

Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the

children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher >

13 Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the king <4428 melek > of Hamath

Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >, of Hena <2012 Hena< >, and Ivah

<5755 <Ivvah >?

14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the

letter <5612 cepher > of the hand <3027 yad > of the messengers

<4397 mal>ak >, and read <7121 qara> > it: and Hezekiah <2396

15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > before

<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >,

O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

<6213 <asah > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >.

16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, bow <5186 natah > down <5186 natah >

thine ear <0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >: open <6491

17 Of a truth <0551 >omnam >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the kings

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have destroyed <2717

charab > the nations <1471 gowy > and their lands <0776 >erets >,

18 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym >

into the fire <0784 >esh >: for they [were] no <3808 lo> > gods

therefore they have destroyed <6> them.

19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God

<0430 >elohiym >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, save <3467 yasha<

20. Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz

<0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el >, [That] which <0834 >aher > thou hast prayed <6419

palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb >

king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > I have heard

<8085 shama< >.

21 This <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > that the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al >

him; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > the daughter <1323 bath > of

Zion <6726 Tsiyown > hath despised <0959 bazah > thee, [and]

laughed <3932 la<ag > thee to scorn; the daughter <1323 bath >

of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath shaken <5128 nuwa< > her

head <7218 ro>sh > at thee.

22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > and blasphemed

<1442 gadaph >? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > hast

thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [thy] voice <6963 qowl >, and lifted

<5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > on high <4791 marowm

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

23 By thy messengers <4397 mal>ak > thou hast reproached <2778

charaph. > the Lord <3068 Y@hovah >, and hast said <0559 >amar >,

With the multitude <7393 rekeb > of my chariots <7393 rekeb > I

am come <5927 <alah > up to the height <4791 marowm > of the

mountains <2022 har >, to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of Lebanon

<3844 L@banown >, and will cut <3772 karath > down the tall

<6967 qowmah > cedar <0730 >erez > trees thereof, [and] the

choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof: and I

will enter <0935 bow> > into the lodgings <4411 malown > of his

borders <7093 qets >, [and into] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of his

Carmel <3760 Karmel >.

24 I have digged <5365 naqar > and drunk <8354 shathah >

strange <2114 zuwr > waters <4325 mayim >, and with the sole

<3709 kaph > of my feet <6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab

matsowr > places.

25 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <7350 rachowq > ago

<7350 rachowq > [how] I have done <6213 <asah > it, [and] of

ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm > that I have formed

<3335 yatsar > it? now <6258 <attah > have I brought <0935 bow>

fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > [into] ruinous <5327

natsah > heaps <1530 gal >.

26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > were of small

<7116 qatser > power <3027 yad >, they were dismayed <2865

chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh >; they were [as] the

grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh >, and [as] the

green <3410 yarka> > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682

chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted

<7711 sh@dephah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm >

up.

27 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab >, and thy

going <3318 yatsa> > out, and thy coming <0935 bow> > in, and

thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me.

28 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413

>el > me and thy tumult <7600 sha>anan > is come <5927 <alah >

up into mine ears <0241 >ozen >, therefore I will put <7760 suwm

<4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah >, and I will turn <7725

shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870 derek > by

which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> >.

29 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto

thee, Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > this year <8141 shaneh > such

things as grow <5599 caphiyach > of themselves, and in the

second <8145 sheniy > year <8141 shaneh > that which springeth

<7823 shachiyc > of the same; and in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

qatsar >, and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem >, and

eat <0398 >akal > the fruits <6529 p@riy > thereof.

30 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413

p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

shall yet again <3254 yacaph > take <3947 laqach > root <8328

sheresh > downward <4295 mattah >, and bear <6213 <asah > fruit

<6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al >.

31 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318

yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >, and

they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har > Zion

<6726 Tsiyown >: the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > [of hosts] shall do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th >.

32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428

melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, He shall not come <0935

bow> > into <0413 >el > this city <5892 <iyr >, nor <3808 lo> >

shoot <3384 yarah > an arrow <2671 chets > there <8033 sham >,

nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before <6924 qedem > it with

shield <4043 magen >, nor cast <8210 shaphak > a bank <5550

col@lah > against <5921 <al > it.

33 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> >, by the

same shall he return <7725 shuwb >, and shall not come <0935

bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

34 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city

<5892 <iyr >, to save <3467 yasha< > it, for mine own sake <4616

ma<an >, and for my servant <5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David >

sake <4616 ma<an >.

35. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass that night <3915 layil >,

that the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > went

<3318 yatsa> > out, and smote <5221 nakah > in the camp <4264

machaneh > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > an hundred <3967

me>ah > fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > and five <2568 chamesh >

thousand <0505 >eleph >: and when they arose <7925 shakam >

early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer >, behold <2009

hinneh >, they [were] all <3605 kol > dead <4191 muwth > corpses

<6297 peger >.

36 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of

Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< >, and went <3212

yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > at

Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh >.

37 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he was worshipping

<7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268

Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym >, that Adrammelech <0152

>Adrammelek > and Sharezer <8272 Shar>etser > his sons <1121 ben

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of

Armenia <0780 >Ararat >. And Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar-Chaddown >

his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478

tachath >.

2Kings 20

1. In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah <2396

Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death <4191 muwth >. And

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son

<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > to him,

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

in order <6680 tsavah >; for thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and

not live <2421 chayah >.

2 Then he turned <5437 cabab > his face <6440 paniym > to the

wall <7023 qiyr >, and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

3 I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

remember <2142 zakar > now <4994 na> > how <0834 >aher > I have

walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee in truth <0571

and have done <6213 <asah > [that which is] good <2896 towb > in

thy sight <5869 <ayin >. And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept

<1058 bakah > sore <1419 gadowl >.

4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, afore <3808 lo> > Isaiah

<3470 Y@sha<yah > was gone <3318 yatsa> > out into the middle

<8484 tiykown > court <5892 <iyr >, that the word <1697 dabar >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to him, saying

<0559 >amar >,

5 Turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and tell <0559 >amar

people <5971 <am >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of David <1732

David > thy father <1>, I have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer

<8605 t@phillah >, I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears <1832

dim<ah >: behold <2005 hen >, I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee:

on the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > thou shalt go

<5927 <alah > up unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

6 And I will add <3254 yacaph > unto thy days <3117 yowm >

fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >; and I will deliver

<5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > out

of the hand <3709 kaph > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria

<0804 >Ashshuwr >; and I will defend <1598 ganan > this city

<5892 <iyr > for mine own sake <4616 ma<an >, and for my servant

<5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an >.

7 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947

laqach > a lump <1690 d@belah > of figs <8384 t@>en >. And they

took <3947 laqach > and laid <7760 suwm > [it] on <5921 <al >

the boil <7822 sh@chiyn >, and he recovered <2421 chayah >.

8 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Isaiah

<3470 Y@sha<yah >, What <4100 mah > [shall be] the sign <0226

me, and that I shall go <5927 <alah > up into the house <1004

bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

9 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar >, This <2088

Y@hovah >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah >

the thing that he hath spoken <1696 dabar >: shall the shadow

<6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah >?

10 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar >, It is

a light <7043 qalal > thing for the shadow <6738 tsel > to go

<5186 natah > down <5186 natah > ten <6235 <eser > degrees <4609

return <7725 shuwb > backward <0322 >achoranniyth > ten <6235

11 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and he

brought <7725 shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > ten <6235 <eser >

<0834 >aher > it had gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > in

the dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >.

12. At that time <6256 <eth > Berodachbaladan <1255 B@ro>dak

Bal>adan >, the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 Bal>adan >,

king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, sent <7971 shalach

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > had been <1961 hayah > sick <2470

13 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto

them, and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them all <3605 kol > the house

<1004 bayith > of his precious <5238 n@koth > things, the silver

14 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet

<5030 nabiy> > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar >, They are come

[even] from Babylon <0894 Babel >.

15 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > have they seen

<7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith >? And Hezekiah <2396

Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar >, All <3605 kol > [the things]

16 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

17 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

shall be carried <5375 nasa> > into Babylon <0894 Babel >:

nothing shall be left <3498 yathar >, saith <0559 >amar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

18 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa> >

from thee, which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget <3205 yalad >,

shall they take <3947 laqach > away; and they shall be eunuchs

<5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king <4428

19 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > unto

Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >, Good <2896 towb > [is] the word <1697

20 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, and all <3605 kol > his might <1369

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

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?

21 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1>: and Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > his son <1121 ben >

reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.

2Kings 21

1. Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > [was] twelve years <8141 shaneh

And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Hephzibah

<2657 Chephtsiy bahh >.

2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which <0834 >aher > was] evil

3 For he built <1129 banah > up again <7725 shuwb > the high

Chizqiyah > his father <1> had destroyed <6>; and he reared

4 And he built <1129 banah > altars <4196 mizbeach > in the

5 And he built <1129 banah > altars <4196 mizbeach > for all

in the two <8147 sh@nayim > courts <2691 chatser
