2Kings 1 1. Then Moab <4124> rebelled <6586> against Israel <3478> after <0310> the death <4194> of Ahab <0256>. 2 And Ahaziah <0274> fell <5307> down through <1157> a lattice <7639> in his upper <5944> chamber <5944> that [was] in Samaria <8111>, and was sick <2470>: and he sent <7971> messengers <4397>, and said <0559> unto them, Go <3212>, enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138> whether <0518> I shall recover <2421> of this <2088> disease <2483>. 3 But the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <1696> to Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <8664>, Arise <6965>, go <5927> up to meet <7125> the messengers <4397> of the king <4428> of Samaria <8111>, and say <1696> unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430> in Israel <3478>, [that] ye go <1980> to enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138>? 4 Now therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed <4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely <3588> die <4191>. And Elijah <0452> departed <3212>. 5 And when the messengers <4397> turned <7725> back <7725> unto him, he said <0559> unto them, Why <4100> are ye now <2088> turned <7725> back <7725>? 6 And they said <0559> unto him, There came <5927> a man <0376> up to meet <7125> us, and said <0559> unto us, Go <3212>, turn <7725> again <7725> unto the king <4428> that sent <7971> you, and say <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430> in Israel <3478>, [that] thou sendest <7971> to enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138>? therefore <3651> thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed <4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely <3588> die <4191>. 7 And he said <1696> unto them, What <4100> manner <4941> of man <0376> [was he] which <0834> came <5927> up to meet <7125> you, and told <1696> you these <0428> words <1697>? 8 And they answered <0559> him, [He was] an hairy man <0376>, and girt <0247> with a girdle <0232> of leather <5785> about his loins <4975>. And he said <0559>, It [is] Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <8664>. 9. Then the king <4428> sent <7971> unto him a captain <8269> of fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And he went <5927> up to him: and, behold <2009>, he sat <3427> on <5921> the top <7218> of an hill <2022>. And he spake <1696> unto him, Thou man <0376> of God <0430>, the king <4428> hath said <1696>, Come <3381> down <3381>. 10 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said <1696> to the captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, then let fire <0784> come <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consume <0398> thee and thy fifty <2572>. And there came <3381> down <3381> fire <0784> from heaven <8064>, and consumed <0398> him and his fifty <2572>. 11 Again <7725> also he sent <7971> unto him another <0312> captain <8269> of fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And he answered <6030> and said <1696> unto him, O man <0376> of God <0430>, thus <3541> hath the king <4428> said <0559>, Come <3381> down <3381> quickly <4120>. 12 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said <1696> unto them, If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, let fire <0784> come <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consume <0398> thee and thy fifty <2572>. And the fire <0784> of God <0430> came <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consumed <0398> him and his fifty <2572>. 13 And he sent <7971> again <7725> a captain <8269> of the third <7992> fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And the third <7992> captain <8269> of fifty <2572> went <5927> up, and came <0935> and fell <3766> on <5921> his knees <1290> before <5048> Elijah <0452>, and besought <2603> him, and said <1696> unto him, O man <0376> of God <0430>, I pray <4994> thee, let my life <5315>, and the life of these <0428> fifty <2572> thy servants <5650>, be precious <3365> in thy sight <5869>. 14 Behold <2009>, there came <3381> fire <0784> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and burnt <0398> up the two <8147> captains <8269> of the former <7223> fifties <2572> with their fifties <2572>: therefore let my life <5315> now <6258> be precious <3365> in thy sight <5869>. 15 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said <1696> unto Elijah <0452>, Go <3381> down <3381> with him: be not afraid <3372> of him. And he arose <6965>, and went <3381> down <3381> with him unto the king <4428>. 16 And he said <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Forasmuch as thou hast sent <7971> messengers <4397> to enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138>, [is it] not because [there is] no <0369> God <0430> in Israel <3478> to enquire <1875> of his word <1697>? therefore thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> off that bed <4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely <3588> die <4191>. 17 So he died <4191> according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> Elijah <0452> had spoken <1696>. And Jehoram <3088> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478> in the second <8147> year <8141> of Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; because <3588> he had <1961> no <3808> son <1121>. 18 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaziah <0274> which <0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 2Kings 2 1. And it came <1961> to pass, when the LORD <3068> would take <5927> up Elijah <0452> into heaven <8064> by a whirlwind <5591>, that Elijah <0452> went <3212> with Elisha <0477> from Gilgal <1537>. 2 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Tarry <3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> me to Bethel <1008>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> [unto him, As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they went <3381> down <3381> to Bethel <1008>. 3 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at Bethel <1008> came <3318> forth <3318> to Elisha <0477>, and said <0559> unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068> will take <3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head <7218> to day <3117>? And he said <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it]; hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>. 4 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Elisha <0477>, tarry <3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> me to Jericho <3405>. And he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they came <0935> to Jericho <3405>. 5 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at Jericho <3405> came <5066> to Elisha <0477>, and said <0559> unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068> will take <3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head <7218> to day <3117>? And he answered <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it]; hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>. 6 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Tarry <3427>, I pray <4994> thee, here <6311>; for the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> me to Jordan <3383>. And he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. And they two <8147> went <3212> on. 7 And fifty <2572> men <0376> of the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> went <1980>, and stood <5975> to view <5048> afar <7350> off: and they two <8147> stood <5975> by Jordan <3383>. 8 And Elijah <0452> took <3947> his mantle <0155>, and wrapped <1563> [it] together, and smote <5221> the waters <4325>, and they were divided <2673> hither and thither <2008>, so that they two <8147> went <5674> over <5674> on dry <2724> ground. 9. And it came <1961> to pass, when they were gone <5674> over <5674>, that Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Ask <7592> what <4100> I shall do <6213> for thee, before <2962> I be taken <3947> away from thee. And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, I pray <4994> thee, let a double <8147> portion <6310> of thy spirit <7307> be upon me. 10 And he said <0559>, Thou hast asked <7592> a hard <7185> thing: [nevertheless], if <0518> thou see <7200> me [when I am] taken <3947> from thee, it shall be so <3651> unto thee; but if <0518> not, it shall not be [so]. 11 And it came <1961> to pass, as they still went <1980> on, and talked <1696>, that, behold <2009>, [there appeared] a chariot <7393> of fire <0784>, and horses <5483> of fire <0784>, and parted <6504> them both <8147> asunder <0996>; and Elijah <0452> went <5927> up by a whirlwind <5591> into heaven <8064>. 12 And Elisha <0477> saw <7200> [it], and he cried <6817>, My father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>, and the horsemen <6571> thereof. And he saw <7200> him no <3808> more <5750>: and he took hold <2388> of his own <0249> clothes <0899>, and rent <7167> them in two <8147> pieces <7168>. 13. He took <7311> up also the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that fell <5307> from him, and went <7725> back <7725>, and stood <5975> by the bank <8193> of Jordan <3383>; 14 And he took <3947> the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that fell <5307> from him, and smote <5221> the waters <4325>, and said <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Elijah <0452>? and when he also had smitten <5221> the waters <4325>, they parted <2673> hither and thither <2008>: and Elisha <0477> went <5674> over <5674>. 15 And when the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> which <0834> [were] to view <5048> at Jericho <3405> saw <7200> him, they said <0559>, The spirit <7307> of Elijah <0452> doth rest <5117> on <5921> Elisha <0477>. And they came <0935> to meet <7125> him, and bowed <7812> themselves to the ground <0776> before him. 16 And they said <0559> unto him, Behold <2009> now <4994>, there be with thy servants <5650> fifty <2572> strong <2428> men; let them go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, and seek <1245> thy master <0113>: lest <6435> peradventure the Spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> hath taken <5375> him up, and cast <7993> him upon some <0259> mountain <2022>, or <0176> into some <0259> valley <1516>. And he said <0559>, Ye shall not send <7971>. 17 And when they urged <6484> him till <5704> he was ashamed <0954>, he said <0559>, Send <7971>. They sent <7971> therefore fifty <2572> men <0376>; and they sought <1245> three <7969> days <3117>, but found <4672> him not. 18 And when they came <7725> again <7725> to him, (for he tarried <3427> at Jericho <3405>,) he said <0559> unto them, Did I not say <0559> unto you, Go <3212> not? 19. And the men <0582> of the city <5892> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009>, I pray <4994> thee, the situation <4186> of this <2088> city <5892> [is] pleasant <2896>, as my lord <0113> seeth <7200>: but the water <4325> [is] naught <7451>, and the ground <0776> barren <7921>. 20 And he said <0559>, Bring <3947> me a new <2319> cruse <6746>, and put <7760> salt <4417> therein <8033>. And they brought <0935> [it] to him. 21 And he went <3318> forth <3318> unto the spring <4161> of the waters <4325>, and cast <7993> the salt <4417> in there, and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have healed <7495> these <0428> waters <4325>; there shall not be from thence <8033> any more <5750> death <4194> or barren <7921> [land]. 22 So the waters <4325> were healed <7495> unto this <2088> day <3117>, according to the saying <1697> of Elisha <0477> which <0834> he spake <1696>. 23 And he went <5927> up from thence <8033> unto Bethel <1008>: and as he was going <5927> up by the way <1870>, there came <3318> forth <3318> little <6996> children <5288> out of the city <5892>, and mocked <7046> him, and said <0559> unto him, Go <5927> up, thou bald <7142> head; go <5927> up, thou bald <7142> head. 24 And he turned <6437> back <0310>, and looked <7200> on them, and cursed <7043> them in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>. And there came <3318> forth <3318> two <8147> she bears <1677> out of the wood <3293>, and tare <1234> forty <0705> and two <8147> children <3206> of them. 25 And he went <3212> from thence <8033> to mount <2022> Carmel <3760>, and from thence <8033> he returned <7725> to Samaria <8111>. 2Kings 3 1. Now Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> the eighteenth year <8141> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and reigned <4427> twelve years <8141>. 2 And he wrought <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>; but not like his father <1>, and like his mother <0517>: for he put <5493> away <5493> the image <4676> of Baal <1168> that his father <1> had made <6213>. 3 Nevertheless <7535> he cleaved <1692> unto the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed <5493> not therefrom. 4 And Mesha <4337> king <4428> of Moab <4124> was a sheepmaster <5349>, and rendered <7725> unto the king <4428> of Israel <3478> an hundred <3967> thousand <0505> lambs <3733>, and an hundred <3967> thousand <0505> rams <0352>, with the wool <6785>. 5 But it came <1961> to pass, when Ahab <0256> was dead <4194>, that the king <4428> of Moab <4124> rebelled <6586> against the king <4428> of Israel <3478>. 6. And king <4428> Jehoram <3088> went <3318> out of Samaria <8111> the same <1931> time <3117>, and numbered <6485> all <3605> Israel <3478>. 7 And he went <3212> and sent <7971> to Jehoshaphat <3092> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of Moab <4124> hath rebelled <6586> against me: wilt thou go <3212> with me against <0413> Moab <4124> to battle <4421>? And he said <0559>, I will go <5927> up: I [am] as thou [art], my people <5971> as thy people <5971>, [and] my horses <5483> as thy horses <5483>. 8 And he said <0559>, Which way <1870> shall we go <5927> up? And he answered <0559>, The way <1870> through the wilderness <4057> of Edom <0123>. 9 So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> went <3212>, and the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and the king <4428> of Edom <0123>: and they fetched a compass <5437> of seven <7651> days <3117>' journey <1870>: and there was no <3808> water <4325> for the host <4264>, and for the cattle <0929> that followed <7272> them. 10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said <0559>, Alas <0160>! that the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> these <0428> three <7969> kings <4428> together, to deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Moab <4124>! 11 But Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, [Is there] not here <6311> a prophet <5030> of the LORD <3068>, that we may enquire <1875> of the LORD <3068> by him? And one <0259> of the king <4428> of Israel's <3478> servants <5650> answered <6030> and said <0559>, Here <6311> [is] Elisha <0477> the son <1121> of Shaphat <8202>, which <0834> poured <3332> water <4325> on <5921> the hands <3027> of Elijah <0452>. 12 And Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> is with him. So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> and Jehoshaphat <3092> and the king <4428> of Edom <0123> went <3381> down <3381> to him. 13 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, What <4100> have I to do with thee? get <3212> thee to the prophets <5030> of thy father <1>, and to the prophets <5030> of thy mother <0517>. And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said <0559> unto him, Nay <0408>: for the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> these <0428> three <7969> kings <4428> together, to deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Moab <4124>. 14 And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> liveth <2416>, before <6440> whom <0834> I stand <5975>, surely <3588>, were it not that I regard <5375> the presence <6440> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, I would not look <5027> toward <0413> thee, nor <0518> see <7200> thee. 15 But now <6258> bring <3947> me a minstrel <5059>. And it came <1961> to pass, when the minstrel <5059> played <5059>, that the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> upon him. 16 And he said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Make <6213> this <2088> valley <5158> full of ditches <1356>. 17 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Ye shall not see <7200> wind <7307>, neither <3808> shall ye see <7200> rain <1653>; yet that valley <5158> shall be filled <4390> with water <4325>, that ye may drink <8354>, both ye, and your cattle <4735>, and your beasts <0929>. 18 And this <2063> is [but] a light <7043> thing in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he will deliver <5414> the Moabites <4124> also into your hand <3027>. 19 And ye shall smite <5221> every <3605> fenced <4013> city <5892>, and every <3605> choice <4005> city <5892>, and shall fell <5307> every <3605> good <2896> tree <6086>, and stop <5640> all <3605> wells <4599> of water <4325>, and mar <3510> every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land with stones <68>. 20. And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, when the meat offering <4503> was offered <5927>, that, behold <2009>, there came <0935> water <4325> by the way <1870> of Edom <0123>, and the country <0776> was filled <4390> with water <4325>. 21 And when all <3605> the Moabites <4124> heard <8085> that the kings <4428> were come <5927> up to fight <3898> against them, they gathered <6817> all <3605> that were able <2296> to put <2296> on armour <2290>, and upward <4605>, and stood <5975> in the border <1366>. 22 And they rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning <1242>, and the sun <8121> shone <2224> upon the water <4325>, and the Moabites <4124> saw <7200> the water <4325> on the other <5048> side <5048> [as] red <0122> as blood <1818>: 23 And they said <0559>, This <2088> [is] blood <1818>: the kings <4428> are surely slain <2717>, and they have smitten <5221> one <0376> another <7453>: now <6258> therefore, Moab <4124>, to the spoil <7998>. 24 And when they came <0935> to the camp <4264> of Israel <3478>, the Israelites <3478> rose <6965> up and smote <5221> the Moabites <4124>, so that they fled <5127> before <6440> them: but they went <5221> forward smiting <5221> the Moabites <4124>, even in [their] country. 25 And they beat <2040> down <2040> the cities <5892>, and on every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land cast <7993> every man <0376> his stone <68>, and filled <4390> it; and they stopped <5640> all <3605> the wells <4599> of water <4325>, and felled <5307> all <3605> the good <2896> trees <6086>: only in Kirharaseth <7025> left <7604> they the stones <68> thereof; howbeit the slingers <7051> went <5437> about <5437> [it], and smote <5221> it. 26 And when the king <4428> of Moab <4124> saw <7200> that the battle <4421> was too sore <2388> for him, he took <3947> with him seven <7651> hundred <3967> men <0376> that drew <8025> swords <2719>, to break <1234> through <1234> [even] unto the king <4428> of Edom <0123>: but they could <3201> not. 27 Then he took <3947> his eldest <1060> son <1121> that should have reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, and offered <5927> him [for] a burnt <5930> offering upon the wall <2346>. And there was great <1419> indignation <7110> against <5921> Israel <3478>: and they departed <5265> from him, and returned <7725> to [their own] land <0776>. 2Kings 4 1. Now there cried <6817> a certain <0259> woman <0802> of the wives <0802> of the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> unto Elisha <0477>, saying <0559>, Thy servant <5650> my husband <0376> is dead <4191>; and thou knowest <3045> that thy servant <5650> did fear <3373> the LORD <3068>: and the creditor <5383> is come <0935> to take <3947> unto him my two <8147> sons <3206> to be bondmen <5650>. 2 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> shall I do <6213> for thee? tell <5046> me, what <4100> hast <3426> thou in the house <1004>? And she said <0559>, Thine handmaid <8198> hath not any <3605> thing in the house <1004>, save <3467> a pot <0610> of oil <8081>. 3 Then he said <0559>, Go <3212>, borrow <7592> thee vessels <3627> abroad <2351> of all <3605> thy neighbours <7934>, [even] empty <7385> vessels <3627>; borrow not a few <4591>. 4 And when thou art come <0935> in, thou shalt shut <5462> the door <1817> upon thee and upon thy sons <1121>, and shalt pour <3332> out into <5921> all <3605> those <0428> vessels <3627>, and thou shalt set <5265> aside <5265> that which is full <4392>. 5 So she went <3212> from him, and shut <5462> the door <1817> upon her and upon her sons <1121>, who <1992> brought <5066> [the vessels] to her; and she poured <3332> out. 6 And it came <1961> to pass, when the vessels <3627> were full <4390>, that she said <0559> unto her son <1121>, Bring <5066> me yet a vessel <3627>. And he said <0559> unto her, [There is] not a vessel <3627> more <5750>. And the oil <8081> stayed <5975>. 7 Then she came <0935> and told <5046> the man <0376> of God <0430>. And he said <0559>, Go <3212>, sell <4376> the oil <8081>, and pay <7999> thy debt <5386>, and live <2421> thou and thy children <1121> of the rest <3498>. 8. And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that Elisha <0477> passed <5674> to Shunem <7766>, where <8033> [was] a great <1419> woman <0802>; and she constrained <2388> him to eat <0398> bread <3899>. And [so] it was, [that] as oft <1767> as he passed <5674> by, he turned <5493> in thither <8033> to eat <0398> bread <3899>. 9 And she said <0559> unto her husband <0376>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, I perceive <3045> that this <1931> [is] an holy <6918> man <0376> of God <0430>, which passeth <5674> by us continually <8548>. 10 Let us make <6213> a little <6996> chamber <5944>, I pray <4994> thee, on the wall <7023>; and let us set <7760> for him there <8033> a bed <4296>, and a table <7979>, and a stool <3678>, and a candlestick <4501>: and it shall be, when he cometh <0935> to us, that he shall turn <5493> in thither <8033>. 11 And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that he came <0935> thither <8033>, and he turned <5493> into <0413> the chamber <5944>, and lay <7901> there <8033>. 12 And he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant <5288>, Call <7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. And when he had called <7121> her, she stood <5975> before <6440> him. 13 And he said <0559> unto him, Say <0559> now <4994> unto her, Behold <2009>, thou hast been careful <2729> for us with all <3605> this <2063> care <2731>; what <4100> [is] to be done <6213> for thee? wouldest <3426> thou be spoken <1696> for to the king <4428>, or <0176> to the captain <8269> of the host <6635>? And she answered <0559>, I dwell <3427> among <8432> mine own people <5971>. 14 And he said <0559>, What <4100> then [is] to be done <6213> for her? And Gehazi <1522> answered <0559>, Verily <61> she hath no <0369> child <1121>, and her husband <0376> is old <2204>. 15 And he said <0559>, Call <7121> her. And when he had called <7121> her, she stood <5975> in the door <6607>. 16 And he said <0559>, About this <2088> season <4150>, according to the time <6256> of life <2416>, thou shalt embrace <2263> a son <1121>. And she said <0559>, Nay <0408>, my lord <0113>, [thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, do not lie <3576> unto thine handmaid <8198>. 17 And the woman <0802> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son <1121> at that season <4150> that Elisha <0477> had said <1696> unto her, according to the time <6256> of life <2416>. 18. And when the child <3206> was grown <1431>, it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that he went <3318> out to his father <1> to the reapers <7114>. 19 And he said <0559> unto his father <1>, My head <7218>, my head <7218>. And he said <0559> to a lad <5288>, Carry <5375> him to his mother <0517>. 20 And when he had taken <5375> him, and brought <0935> him to his mother <0517>, he sat <3427> on <5921> her knees <1290> till <5704> noon <6672>, and [then] died <4191>. 21 And she went <5927> up, and laid <7901> him on <5921> the bed <4296> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, and shut <5462> [the door] upon him, and went <3318> out. 22 And she called <7121> unto her husband <0376>, and said <0559>, Send <7971> me, I pray <4994> thee, one <0259> of the young <5288> men, and one <0259> of the asses <0860>, that I may run <7323> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, and come <7725> again <7725>. 23 And he said <0559>, Wherefore <4069> wilt thou go <1980> to him to day <3117>? [it is] neither <3808> new <2320> moon <2320>, nor <3808> sabbath <7676>. And she said <0559>, [It shall be] well <7965>. 24 Then she saddled <2280> an ass <0860>, and said <0559> to her servant <5288>, Drive <5090>, and go <3212> forward; slack <6113> not [thy] riding <7392> for me, except I bid <0559> thee. 25 So she went <3212> and came <0935> unto the man <0376> of God <0430> to mount <2022> Carmel <3760>. And it came <1961> to pass, when the man <0376> of God <0430> saw <7200> her afar <7350> off, that he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant <5288>, Behold <2009>, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767>: 26 Run <7323> now <6258>, I pray <4994> thee, to meet <7125> her, and say <0559> unto her, [Is it] well <7965> with thee? [is it] well <7965> with thy husband <0376>? [is it] well <7965> with the child <3206>? And she answered <0559>, [It is] well <7965>. 27 And when she came <0935> to the man <0376> of God <0430> to the hill <2022>, she caught <2388> him by the feet <7272>: but Gehazi <1522> came <5066> near <5066> to thrust <1920> her away. And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Let her alone <7503>; for her soul <5315> [is] vexed <4843> within her: and the LORD <3068> hath hid <5956> [it] from me, and hath not told <5046> me. 28 Then she said <0559>, Did I desire <7592> a son <1121> of my lord <0113>? did I not say <0559>, Do not deceive <7952> me? 29 Then he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522>, Gird <2296> up thy loins <4975>, and take <3947> my staff <4938> in thine hand <3027>, and go <3212> thy way <1870>: if <3588> thou meet <4672> any man <0376>, salute <1288> him not; and if <3588> any <0376> salute <1288> thee, answer <6030> him not again: and lay <7760> my staff <4938> upon the face <6440> of the child <5288>. 30 And the mother <0517> of the child <5288> said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. And he arose <6965>, and followed her. 31 And Gehazi <1522> passed <5674> on before <6440> them, and laid <7760> the staff <4938> upon the face <6440> of the child <5288>; but [there was] neither <0369> voice <6963>, nor <0369> hearing <7182>. Wherefore he went <7725> again <7725> to meet <7125> him, and told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The child <5288> is not awaked <6974>. 32 And when Elisha <0477> was come <0935> into the house <1004>, behold <2009>, the child <5288> was dead <4191>, [and] laid <7901> upon his bed <4296>. 33 He went <0935> in therefore, and shut <5462> the door <1817> upon them twain <8147>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>. 34 And he went <5927> up, and lay <7901> upon the child <3206>, and put <7760> his mouth <6310> upon his mouth <6310>, and his eyes <5869> upon his eyes <5869>, and his hands <3709> upon his hands <3709>: and he stretched <1457> himself upon the child <3206>; and the flesh <1320> of the child <3206> waxed warm <2552>. 35 Then he returned <7725>, and walked <3212> in the house <1004> to and fro; and went <5927> up, and stretched <1457> himself upon him: and the child <5288> sneezed <2237> seven <7651> times <6471>, and the child <5288> opened <6491> his eyes <5869>. 36 And he called <7121> Gehazi <1522>, and said <0559>, Call <7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. So he called <7121> her. And when she was come <0935> in unto him, he said <0559>, Take <5375> up thy son <1121>. 37 Then she went <0935> in, and fell <5307> at <5921> his feet <7272>, and bowed <7812> herself to the ground <0776>, and took <5375> up her son <1121>, and went <3318> out. 38. And Elisha <0477> came <7725> again <7725> to Gilgal <1537>: and [there was] a dearth <7458> in the land <0776>; and the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> [were] sitting <3427> before <6440> him: and he said <0559> unto his servant <5288>, Set <8239> on the great <1419> pot <5518>, and seethe <1310> pottage <5138> for the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030>. 39 And one <0259> went <3318> out into <0413> the field <7704> to gather <3950> herbs <0219>, and found <4672> a wild <7704> vine <1612>, and gathered <3950> thereof wild <7704> gourds <6498> his lap <0899> full <4393>, and came <0935> and shred <6398> [them] into <0413> the pot <5518> of pottage <5138>: for they knew <3045> [them] not. 40 So they poured <3332> out for the men <0582> to eat <0398>. And it came <1961> to pass, as they were eating <0398> of the pottage <5138>, that they cried <6817> out, and said <0559>, O [thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, [there is] death <4194> in the pot <5518>. And they could <3201> not eat <0398> [thereof]. 41 But he said <0559>, Then bring <3947> meal <7058>. And he cast <7993> [it] into <0413> the pot <5518>; and he said <0559>, Pour <3332> out for the people <5971>, that they may eat <0398>. And there was no <3808> harm in the pot <5518>. 42 And there came <0935> a man <0376> from Baalshalisha <1190>, and brought <0935> the man <0376> of God <0430> bread <3899> of the firstfruits <1061>, twenty <6242> loaves <3899> of barley <8184>, and full ears <3759> of corn <3759> in the husk <6861> thereof. And he said <0559>, Give <5414> unto the people <5971>, that they may eat <0398>. 43 And his servitor <8334> said <0559>, What <4100>, should I set <5414> this <2088> before <6440> an hundred <3967> men <0376>? He said <0559> again, Give <5414> the people <5971>, that they may eat <0398>: for thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, They shall eat <0398>, and shall leave <3498> [thereof]. 44 So he set <5414> [it] before <6440> them, and they did eat <0398>, and left <3498> [thereof], according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 2Kings 5 1. Now Naaman <5283>, captain <8269> of the host <6635> of the king <4428> of Syria <0758>, was a great <1419> man <0376> with his master <0113>, and honourable, because <3588> by him the LORD <3068> had <1961> given <5414> deliverance <8668> unto Syria <0758>: he was also a mighty <1368> man <0376> in valour <2428>, [but he was] a leper <6879>. 2 And the Syrians <0758> had gone <3318> out by companies <1416>, and had brought <7617> away captive <7617> out of the land <0776> of Israel <3478> a little <6996> maid <5291>; and she waited on Naaman's <5283> wife <0802>. 3 And she said <0559> unto her mistress <1404>, Would <0305> God my lord <0113> [were] with the prophet <5030> that [is] in Samaria <8111>! for he would recover <0622> him of his leprosy <6883>. 4 And [one] went <0935> in, and told <5046> his lord <0113>, saying <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063> said <1696> the maid <5291> that [is] of the land <0776> of Israel <3478>. 5 And the king <4428> of Syria <0758> said <0559>, Go <3212> to, go <0935>, and I will send <7971> a letter <5612> unto the king <4428> of Israel <3478>. And he departed <3212>, and took <3947> with him ten <6235> talents <3603> of silver <3701>, and six <8337> thousand <0505> [pieces] of gold <2091>, and ten <6235> changes <2487> of raiment <0899>. 6 And he brought <0935> the letter <5612> to the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Now <6258> when this <2088> letter <5612> is come <0935> unto thee, behold <2009>, I have [therewith] sent <7971> Naaman <5283> my servant <5650> to thee, that thou mayest recover <0622> him of his leprosy <6883>. 7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> of Israel <3478> had read <7121> the letter <5612>, that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and said <0559>, [Am] I God <0430>, to kill <4191> and to make alive <2421>, that this <2088> man doth send <7971> unto me to recover <0622> a man <0376> of his leprosy <6883>? wherefore consider <3045>, I pray <4994> you, and see <7200> how <3588> he seeketh <0579> a quarrel <0579> against me. 8 And it was [so], when Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430> had heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Israel <3478> had rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, that he sent <7971> to the king <4428>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4100> hast thou rent <7167> thy clothes <0899>? let him come <0935> now <4994> to me, and he shall know <3045> that there is a prophet <5030> in Israel <3478>. 9. So Naaman <5283> came <0935> with his horses <5483> and with his chariot <7393>, and stood <5975> at the door <6607> of the house <1004> of Elisha <0477>. 10 And Elisha <0477> sent <7971> a messenger <4397> unto him, saying <0559>, Go <1980> and wash <7364> in Jordan <3383> seven <7651> times <6471>, and thy flesh <1320> shall come <7725> again <7725> to thee, and thou shalt be clean <2891>. 11 But Naaman <5283> was wroth <7107>, and went <3212> away, and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I thought <0559>, He will surely come <3318> out to me, and stand <5975>, and call <7121> on the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> his God <0430>, and strike <5130> his hand <3027> over <0413> the place <4725>, and recover <0622> the leper <6879>. 12 [Are] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554>, rivers <5104> of Damascus <1834>, better <2896> than all <3605> the waters <4325> of Israel <3478>? may I not wash <7364> in them, and be clean <2891>? So he turned <6437> and went <3212> away in a rage <2534>. 13 And his servants <5650> came <5066> near <5066>, and spake <1696> unto him, and said <0559>, My father <1>, [if] the prophet <5030> had bid <1696> thee [do some] great <1419> thing <1697>, wouldest thou not have done <6213> [it]? how <0637> much rather then, when <3588> he saith <0559> to thee, Wash <7364>, and be clean <2891>? 14 Then went <3381> he down <3381>, and dipped <2881> himself seven <7651> times <6471> in Jordan <3383>, according to the saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and his flesh <1320> came <7725> again <7725> like unto the flesh <1320> of a little <6995> child <5288>, and he was clean <2891>. 15. And he returned <7725> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, he and all <3605> his company <4264>, and came <0935>, and stood <5975> before <6440> him: and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, now <4994> I know <3045> that [there is] no <0369> God <0430> in all <3605> the earth <0776>, but in Israel <3478>: now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> thee, take <3947> a blessing <1293> of thy servant <5650>. 16 But he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, before <6440> whom <0834> I stand <5975>, I will receive <3947> none. And he urged <6484> him to take <3947> [it]; but he refused <3985>. 17 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Shall there not then, I pray <4994> thee, be given <5414> to thy servant <5650> two mules <6505>' burden <4853> of earth <0127>? for thy servant <5650> will henceforth <5750> offer <6213> neither <3808> burnt <5930> offering nor sacrifice <2077> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, but unto the LORD <3068>. 18 In this <2088> thing <1697> the LORD <3068> pardon <5545> thy servant <5650>, [that] when my master <0113> goeth <0935> into the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417> to worship <7812> there <8033>, and he leaneth <8127> on <5921> my hand <3027>, and I bow <7812> myself in the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417>: when I bow <7812> down <7812> myself in the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417>, the LORD <3068> pardon <5545> thy servant <5650> in this <2088> thing <1697>. 19 And he said <0559> unto him, Go <3212> in peace <7965>. So he departed <3212> from him a little <3530> way <0776>. 20. But Gehazi <1522>, the servant <5288> of Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430>, said <0559>, Behold <2009>, my master <0113> hath spared <2820> Naaman <5283> this <2088> Syrian <0761>, in not receiving <3947> at his hands <3027> that which <0834> he brought <0935>: but, [as] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, I will run <7323> after <0310> him, and take <3947> somewhat <3972> of him. 21 So Gehazi <1522> followed <7291> after <0310> Naaman <5283>. And when Naaman <5283> saw <7200> [him] running <7323> after <0310> him, he lighted <5307> down from the chariot <4818> to meet <7125> him, and said <0559>, [Is] all well <7965>? 22 And he said <0559>, All [is] well <7965>. My master <0113> hath sent <7971> me, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, even now <6258> there be come <0935> to me from mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> two <8147> young <5288> men of the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030>: give <5414> them, I pray <4994> thee, a talent <3603> of silver <3701>, and two <8147> changes <2487> of garments <0899>. 23 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Be content <2974>, take <3947> two talents <3603>. And he urged <6555> him, and bound <6887> two <8147> talents <3603> of silver <3701> in two <8147> bags <2754>, with two <8147> changes <2487> of garments <0899>, and laid <5414> [them] upon two <8147> of his servants <5288>; and they bare <5375> [them] before <6440> him. 24 And when he came <0935> to the tower <6076>, he took <3947> [them] from their hand <3027>, and bestowed <6485> [them] in the house <1004>: and he let the men <0582> go <7971>, and they departed <3212>. 25 But he went <0935> in, and stood <5975> before <0413> his master <0113>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Whence <0370> [comest thou], Gehazi <1522>? And he said <0559>, Thy servant <5650> went <1980> no <3808> whither <0575>. 26 And he said <0559> unto him, Went <1980> not mine heart <3820> [with thee], when the man <0376> turned <2015> again from his chariot <4818> to meet <7125> thee? [Is it] a time <6256> to receive <3947> money <3701>, and to receive <3947> garments <0899>, and oliveyards <2132>, and vineyards <3754>, and sheep <6629>, and oxen <1241>, and menservants <5650>, and maidservants <8198>? 27 The leprosy <6883> therefore of Naaman <5283> shall cleave <1692> unto thee, and unto thy seed <2233> for ever <5769>. And he went <3318> out from his presence <6440> a leper <6879> [as white] as snow <7950>. 2Kings 6 1. And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, the place <4725> where we dwell <3427> with thee is too strait <6862> for us. 2 Let us go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, unto Jordan <3383>, and take <3947> thence <8033> every man <0376> a beam <6982>, and let us make <6213> us a place <4725> there <8033>, where <8033> we may dwell <3427>. And he answered <0559>, Go <3212> ye. 3 And one <0259> said <0559>, Be content <2974>, I pray <4994> thee, and go <3212> with thy servants <5650>. And he answered <0559>, I will go <3212>. 4 So he went <3212> with them. And when they came <0935> to Jordan <3383>, they cut <1504> down wood <6086>. 5 But as one <0259> was felling <5307> a beam <6982>, the axe <1270> head <1270> fell <5307> into <0413> the water <4325>: and he cried <6817>, and said <0559>, Alas <0160>, master <0113>! for it was borrowed <7592>. 6 And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Where <0575> fell <5307> it? And he shewed <7200> him the place <4725>. And he cut <7094> down a stick <6086>, and cast <7993> [it] in thither <8033>; and the iron <1270> did swim <6687>. 7 Therefore said <0559> he, Take <7311> [it] up to thee. And he put <7971> out his hand <3027>, and took <3947> it. 8. Then the king <4428> of Syria <0758> warred <3898> against Israel <3478>, and took counsel <3289> with his servants <5650>, saying <0559>, In such <6423> and such <0492> a place <4725> [shall be] my camp <8466>. 9 And the man <0376> of God <0430> sent <7971> unto the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Beware <8104> that thou pass <5674> not such <2088> a place <4725>; for thither <8033> the Syrians <0758> are come <5185> down <5181>. 10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> sent <7971> to the place <4725> which <0834> the man <0376> of God <0430> told <0559> him and warned <2094> him of, and saved <8104> himself there <8033>, not once <0259> nor <3808> twice <8147>. 11 Therefore the heart <3820> of the king <4428> of Syria <0758> was sore troubled <5590> for this <2088> thing <1697>; and he called <7121> his servants <5650>, and said <0559> unto them, Will ye not shew <5046> me which <4310> of us [is] for the king <4428> of Israel <3478>? 12 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> said <0559>, None <3808>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>: but Elisha <0477>, the prophet <5030> that [is] in Israel <3478>, telleth <5046> the king <4428> of Israel <3478> the words <1697> that thou speakest <1696> in thy bedchamber. 13. And he said <0559>, Go <3212> and spy <7200> where <0351> he [is], that I may send <7971> and fetch <3947> him. And it was told <5046> him, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, [he is] in Dothan <1886>. 14 Therefore sent <7971> he thither <8033> horses <5483>, and chariots <7393>, and a great <3515> host <2428>: and they came <0935> by night <3915>, and compassed <5362> the city <5892> about <5362>. 15 And when the servant <8334> of the man <0376> of God <0430> was risen <6965> early <7925>, and gone <3318> forth <3318>, behold <2009>, an host <2428> compassed <5437> the city <5892> both with horses <5483> and chariots <7393>. And his servant <5288> said <0559> unto him, Alas <0160>, my master <0113>! how <0349> shall we do <6213>? 16 And he answered <0559>, Fear <3372> not: for they that [be] with us [are] more <7227> than they that [be] with them. 17 And Elisha <0477> prayed <6419>, and said <0559>, LORD <3068>, I pray <4994> thee, open <6491> his eyes <5869>, that he may see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened <6491> the eyes <5869> of the young <5288> man; and he saw <7200>: and, behold <2009>, the mountain <2022> [was] full <4390> of horses <5483> and chariots <7393> of fire <0784> round <5439> about Elisha <0477>. 18 And when they came <3381> down <3381> to him, Elisha <0477> prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, Smite <5221> this <2088> people <1471>, I pray <4994> thee, with blindness <5575>. And he smote <5221> them with blindness <5575> according to the word <1697> of Elisha <0477>. 19 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto them, This [is] not the way <1870>, neither <3808> [is] this <2090> the city <5892>: follow me, and I will bring <3212> you to the man <0376> whom <0834> ye seek <1245>. But he led <3212> them to Samaria <8111>. 20 And it came <1961> to pass, when they were come <0935> into Samaria <8111>, that Elisha <0477> said <0559>, LORD <3068>, open <6491> the eyes <5869> of these <0428> [men], that they may see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened <6491> their eyes <5869>, and they saw <7200>; and, behold <2009>, [they were] in the midst <8432> of Samaria <8111>. 21 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, when he saw <7200> them, My father <1>, shall I smite <5221> [them]? shall I smite <5221> [them]? 22 And he answered <0559>, Thou shalt not smite <5221> [them]: wouldest thou smite <5221> those whom <0834> thou hast taken captive <7617> with thy sword <2719> and with thy bow <7198>? set <7760> bread <3899> and water <4325> before <6440> them, that they may eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and go <3212> to their master <0113>. 23 And he prepared <3739> great <1419> provision <3740> for them: and when they had eaten <0398> and drunk <8354>, he sent <7971> them away, and they went <3212> to their master <0113>. So the bands <1416> of Syria <0758> came <0935> no <3808> more into the land <0776> of Israel <3478>. 24. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> this <3651>, that Benhadad <1130> king <4428> of Syria <0758> gathered <6908> all <3605> his host, and went <5927> up, and besieged <6696> Samaria <8111>. 25 And there was a great <1419> famine <7458> in Samaria <8111>: and, behold <2009>, they besieged <6696> it, until <5704> an ass's <2543> head <7218> was [sold] for fourscore <8084> [pieces] of silver <3701>, and the fourth <7255> part of a cab <6894> of dove's <1686> dung <2755> for five <2568> [pieces] of silver <3701>. 26 And as the king <4428> of Israel <3478> was passing <5674> by upon the wall <2346>, there cried <6817> a woman <0802> unto him, saying <0559>, Help <3467>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>. 27 And he said <0559>, If the LORD <3068> do not help <3467> thee, whence <0370> shall I help <3467> thee? out of the barnfloor <1637>, or <0176> out of the winepress <3342>? 28 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> aileth thee? And she answered <0559>, This <2063> woman <0802> said <0559> unto me, Give <5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat <0398> him to day <3117>, and we will eat <0398> my son <1121> to morrow <4279>. 29 So we boiled <1310> my son <1121>, and did eat <0398> him: and I said <0559> unto her on the next <0312> day <3117>, Give <5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat <0398> him: and she hath hid <2244> her son <1121>. 30 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> heard <8085> the words <1697> of the woman <0802>, that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>; and he passed <5674> by upon the wall <2346>, and the people <5971> looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, [he had] sackcloth <8242> within <1004> upon his flesh <1320>. 31 Then he said <0559>, God <0430> do <6213> so <3541> and more <3254> also <3541> to me, if <0518> the head <7218> of Elisha <0477> the son <1121> of Shaphat <8202> shall stand <5975> on <5921> him this day <3117>. 32 But Elisha <0477> sat <3427> in his house <1004>, and the elders <2205> sat <3427> with him; and [the king] sent <7971> a man <0376> from before <6440> him: but ere <2962> the messenger <4397> came <0935> to him, he said <0559> to the elders <2205>, See <7200> ye how <3588> this son <1121> of a murderer <7523> hath sent <7971> to take <5493> away mine head <7218>? look <7200>, when the messenger <4397> cometh <0935>, shut <5462> the door <1817>, and hold <3905> him fast at the door <1817>: [is] not the sound <6963> of his master's <0113> feet <7272> behind <0310> him? 33 And while he yet <5750> talked <1696> with them, behold <2009>, the messenger <4397> came <3381> down <3381> unto him: and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, this <2063> evil <7451> [is] of the LORD <3068>; what <4100> should I wait <3176> for the LORD <3068> any longer <5750>? 2Kings 7 1. Then Elisha <0477> said <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, To morrow <4279> about this time <6256> [shall] a measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> [be sold] for a shekel <8255>, and two measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel <8255>, in the gate <8179> of Samaria <8111>. 2 Then a lord <7991> on <5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> the king <4428> leaned <8172> answered <6030> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, [if] the LORD <3068> would make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven <8064>, might this <2088> thing <1697> be? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, thou shalt see <7200> [it] with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not eat <0398> thereof. 3. And there were four <0702> leprous <6879> men <0582> at the entering <6607> in of the gate <8179>: and they said <0559> one <0376> to another <7453>, Why <4100> sit <3427> we here <6311> until <5704> we die <4191>? 4 If <0518> we say <0559>, We will enter <0935> into the city <5892>, then the famine <7458> [is] in the city <5892>, and we shall die <4191> there <8033>: and if <0518> we sit <3427> still here <6311>, we die <4191> also. Now <6258> therefore come <3212>, and let us fall <5307> unto the host <4264> of the Syrians <0758>: if <0518> they save <2421> us alive <2421>, we shall live <2421>; and if <0518> they kill <4191> us, we shall but die <4191>. 5 And they rose <6965> up in the twilight <5399>, to go <0935> unto the camp <4264> of the Syrians <0758>: and when they were come <0935> to the uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264> of Syria <0758>, behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man <0376> there <8033>. 6 For the Lord <0136> had made the host <4264> of the Syrians <0758> to hear <8085> a noise <6963> of chariots <7393>, and a noise <6963> of horses <5483>, [even] the noise <6963> of a great <1419> host <2428>: and they said <0559> one <0376> to another <0250>, Lo <2009>, the king <4428> of Israel <3478> hath hired <7936> against <5921> us the kings <4428> of the Hittites <2850>, and the kings <4428> of the Egyptians <4714>, to come <0935> upon us. 7 Wherefore they arose <6965> and fled <5127> in the twilight <5399>, and left <5800> their tents <0168>, and their horses <5483>, and their asses <2543>, even the camp <4264> as it [was], and fled <5127> for their life <5315>. 8 And when <3588> these <0428> lepers <6879> came <0935> to the uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264>, they went <0935> into <0413> one <0259> tent <0168>, and did eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and carried <5375> thence <8033> silver <3701>, and gold <2091>, and raiment <0899>, and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it]; and came <7725> again <7725>, and entered <0935> into <0413> another <0312> tent <0168>, and carried <5375> thence <8033> [also], and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it]. 9 Then they said <0559> one <0376> to another <7453>, We do <6213> not well <3651>: this <1931> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of good tidings <1309>, and we hold <2814> our peace <2814>: if we tarry <2442> till <5704> the morning <1242> light <0216>, some mischief <5771> will come <4672> upon us: now <6258> therefore come <3212>, that we may go <0935> and tell <5046> the king's <4428> household <1004>. 10 So they came <0935> and called <7121> unto the porter <7778> of the city <5892>: and they told <5046> them, saying <0559>, We came <0935> to the camp <4264> of the Syrians <0758>, and, behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man <0376> there <8033>, neither <0369> voice <6963> of man <0120>, but horses <5483> tied <0631>, and asses <2543> tied <0631>, and the tents <0168> as they [were]. 11 And he called <7121> the porters <7778>; and they told <5046> [it] to the king's <4428> house <1004> within <6441>. 12. And the king <4428> arose <6965> in the night <3915>, and said <0559> unto his servants <5650>, I will now <4994> shew <5046> you what the Syrians <0758> have done <6213> to us. They know <3045> that we [be] hungry <7456>; therefore are they gone <3318> out of the camp <4264> to hide <2247> themselves in the field <7704>, saying <0559>, When <3588> they come <3318> out of the city <5892>, we shall catch <8610> them alive <2416>, and get <0935> into <0413> the city <5892>. 13 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> answered <6030> and said <0559>, Let [some] take <3947>, I pray <4994> thee, five <2568> of the horses <5483> that remain <7604>, which <0834> are left <7604> in the city, (behold, they [are] as all <3605> the multitude <1995> of Israel <3478> that are left <7604> in it: behold <2009>, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605> the multitude <1995> of the Israelites <3478> that are consumed <8552>:) and let us send <7971> and see <7200>. 14 They took <3947> therefore two <8147> chariot <7393> horses <5483>; and the king <4428> sent <7971> after <0310> the host <4264> of the Syrians <0758>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> and see <7200>. 15 And they went <3212> after <0310> them unto Jordan <3383>: and, lo <2009>, all <3605> the way <1870> [was] full <4392> of garments <0899> and vessels <3627>, which <0834> the Syrians <0758> had cast <7993> away in their haste <2648>. And the messengers <4397> returned <7725>, and told <5046> the king <4428>. 16 And the people <5971> went <3318> out, and spoiled <0962> the tents <4264> of the Syrians <0758>. So a measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> was [sold] for a shekel <8255>, and two measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel <8255>, according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 17 And the king <4428> appointed <6485> the lord <7991> on <5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> he leaned <8172> to have the charge <5921> of the gate <8179>: and the people <5971> trode <7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died <4191>, as the man <0376> of God <0430> had said <1696>, who <0834> spake <1696> when the king <4428> came <3381> down <3381> to him. 18 And it came <1961> to pass as the man <0376> of God <0430> had spoken <1696> to the king <4428>, saying <0559>, Two measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel <8255>, and a measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> for a shekel <8255>, shall be to morrow <4279> about this time <6256> in the gate <8179> of Samaria <8111>: 19 And that lord <7991> answered <6030> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and said <0559>, Now, behold <2009>, [if] the LORD <3068> should make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven <8064>, might such <2088> a thing <1697> be? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, thou shalt see <7200> it with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not eat <0398> thereof. 20 And so <3651> it fell <1961> out unto him: for the people <5971> trode <7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died <4191>. 2Kings 8 1. Then spake <1696> Elisha <0477> unto the woman <0802>, whose <0834> son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421>, saying <0559>, Arise <6965>, and go <3212> thou and thine household <1004>, and sojourn <1481> wheresoever <0834> thou canst sojourn <1481>: for the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> for a famine <7458>; and it shall also <1571> come <0935> upon the land <0776> seven <7651> years <8141>. 2 And the woman <0802> arose <6965>, and did <6213> after the saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and she went <3212> with her household <1004>, and sojourned <1481> in the land <0776> of the Philistines <6430> seven <7651> years <8141>. 3 And it came <1961> to pass at the seven <7651> years <8141>' end <7097>, that the woman <0802> returned <7725> out of the land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>: and she went <3318> forth <3318> to cry <6817> unto the king <4428> for her house <1004> and for her land <7704>. 4 And the king <4428> talked <1696> with Gehazi <1522> the servant <5288> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, saying <0559>, Tell <5608> me, I pray <4994> thee, all <3605> the great <1419> things that Elisha <0477> hath done <6213>. 5 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was telling <5608> the king <4428> how <0834> he had restored <2421> a dead <4191> body to life <2421>, that, behold <2009>, the woman <0802>, whose <0834> son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421>, cried <6817> to the king <4428> for her house <1004> and for her land <7704>. And Gehazi <1522> said <0559>, My lord <0113>, O king <4428>, this <2063> [is] the woman <0802>, and this <2088> [is] her son <1121>, whom <0834> Elisha <0477> restored <2421> to life <2421>. 6 And when the king <4428> asked <7592> the woman <0802>, she told <5608> him. So the king <4428> appointed <5414> unto her a certain <0259> officer <5631>, saying <0559>, Restore <7725> all <3605> that [was] hers, and all <3605> the fruits <8393> of the field <7704> since the day <3117> that she left <5800> the land <0776>, even until <5704> now <6258>. 7. And Elisha <0477> came <0935> to Damascus <1834>; and Benhadad <1130> the king <4428> of Syria <0758> was sick <2470>; and it was told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The man <0376> of God <0430> is come <0935> hither <2008>. 8 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto Hazael <2371>, Take <3947> a present <4503> in thine hand <3027>, and go <3212>, meet <7125> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and enquire <1875> of the LORD <3068> by him, saying <0559>, Shall I recover <2421> of this <2088> disease <2483>? 9 So Hazael <2371> went <3212> to meet <7125> him, and took <3947> a present <4503> with him, even of every <3605> good <2898> thing of Damascus <1834>, forty <0705> camels <1581>' burden <4853>, and came <0935> and stood <5975> before <6440> him, and said <0559>, Thy son <1121> Benhadad <1130> king <4428> of Syria <0758> hath sent <7971> me to thee, saying <0559>, Shall I recover <2421> of this <2088> disease <2483>? 10 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Go <3212>, say <0559> unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover <2421>: howbeit the LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that he shall surely die <4191>. 11 And he settled <5975> his countenance <6440> stedfastly <7760>, until <5704> he was ashamed <0954>: and the man <0376> of God <0430> wept <1058>. 12 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, Why <4069> weepeth <1058> my lord <0113>? And he answered <0559>, Because <3588> I know <3045> the evil <7451> that thou wilt do <6213> unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: their strong <4013> holds <4013> wilt thou set <7971> on fire <0784>, and their young <0970> men wilt thou slay <2026> with the sword <2719>, and wilt dash <7376> their children <6768>, and rip <1234> up their women with child <2030>. 13 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, But what <4100>, [is] thy servant <5650> a dog <3611>, that he should do <6213> this <2088> great <1419> thing <1697>? And Elisha <0477> answered <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that thou [shalt be] king <4428> over <5921> Syria <0758>. 14 So he departed <3212> from Elisha <0477>, and came <0935> to his master <0113>; who <4310> said <0559> to him, What <4100> said <0559> Elisha <0477> to thee? And he answered <0559>, He told <0559> me [that] thou shouldest surely recover <2421>. 15 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that he took <3947> a thick cloth <4346>, and dipped <2881> [it] in water <4325>, and spread <6566> [it] on <5921> his face <6440>, so that he died <4191>: and Hazael <2371> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 16. And in the fifth <2568> year <8141> of Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Jehoshaphat <3092> [being] then king <4428> of Judah <3063>, Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>. 17 Thirty <7970> and two <8147> years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> eight <8083> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. 18 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>, as did <6213> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>: for the daughter <1323> of Ahab <0256> was his wife <0802>: and he did evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>. 19 Yet the LORD <3068> would <14> not destroy <7843> Judah <3063> for David <1732> his servant's <5650> sake <4616>, as he promised <0559> him to give <5414> him alway a light <5216>, [and] to his children <1121>. 20 In his days <3117> Edom <0123> revolted <6586> from under <8478> the hand <3027> of Judah <3063>, and made a king <4428> over <5921> themselves <1992>. 21 So Joram <3141> went <5674> over <5674> to Zair, and all <3605> the chariots <7393> with him: and he rose <6965> by night <3915>, and smote <5221> the Edomites <0130> which compassed <5437> him about <0413>, and the captains <8269> of the chariots <7393>: and the people <5971> fled <5127> into their tents <0168>. 22 Yet Edom <0123> revolted <6586> from under <8478> the hand <3027> of Judah <3063> unto this day <3117>. Then <0227> Libnah <3841> revolted <6586> at the same <1931> time <6256>. 23 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joram <3141>, and all <3605> that he did, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 24 And Joram <3141> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>: and Ahaziah <0274> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 25. In the twelfth year <8141> of Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478> did Ahaziah <0274> the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king <4428> of Judah <3063> begin to reign <4427>. 26 Two <8147> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Ahaziah <0274> when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned one <0259> year <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Athaliah <6271>, the daughter <1323> of Omri <6018> king <4428> of Israel <3478>. 27 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>, and did <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, as [did] the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>: for he [was] the son <2860> in law <2859> of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>. 28 And he went <3212> with Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> to the war <4421> against <5973> Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> in Ramothgilead <7433>; and the Syrians <0761> wounded <5221> Joram <3141>. 29 And king <4428> Joram <3141> went <7725> back <7725> to be healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds <4347> which <0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him at Ramah <7414>, when he fought <3898> against Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>. And Ahaziah <0274> the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king <4428> of Judah <3063> went <3381> down <3381> to see <7200> Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel <3157>, because <3588> he was sick <2470>. 2Kings 9 1. And Elisha <0477> the prophet <5030> called <7121> one <0259> of the children <1121> of the prophets <5030>, and said <0559> unto him, Gird <2296> up thy loins <4975>, and take <3947> this <2088> box <6378> of oil <8081> in thine hand <3027>, and go <3212> to Ramothgilead <7433>: 2 And when thou comest <0935> thither <8033>, look <7200> out there <8033> Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>, and go <0935> in, and make him arise <6965> up from among <8432> his brethren <0251>, and carry <0935> him to an inner <2315> chamber <2315>; 3 Then take <3947> the box <6378> of oil <8081>, and pour <3332> [it] on <5921> his head <7218>, and say <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee king <4428> over <5921> Israel <3478>. Then open <6605> the door <1817>, and flee <5127>, and tarry <2442> not. 4 So the young <5288> man, [even] the young <5288> man <0376> the prophet <5030>, went <3212> to Ramothgilead <7433>. 5 And when <3588> he came <0935>, behold <2009>, the captains <8269> of the host <2428> [were] sitting <3427>; and he said <0559>, I have an errand <1697> to thee, O captain <8269>. And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Unto which <4310> of all <3605> us? And he said <0559>, To thee, O captain <8269>. 6 And he arose <6965>, and went <0935> into the house <1004>; and he poured <3332> the oil <8081> on <0413> his head <7218>, and said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, I have anointed <4886> thee king <4428> over <0413> the people <5971> of the LORD <3068>, [even] over <0413> Israel <3478>. 7 And thou shalt smite <5221> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> thy master <0113>, that I may avenge <5358> the blood <1818> of my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, and the blood <1818> of all <3605> the servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, at the hand <3027> of Jezebel <0348>. 8 For the whole <3605> house <1004> of Ahab <0256> shall perish <6>: and I will cut <3772> off from Ahab <0256> him that pisseth <8366> against the wall <7023>, and him that is shut <6113> up and left in Israel <3478>: 9 And I will make <5414> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> like the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, and like the house <1004> of Baasha <1201> the son <1121> of Ahijah <0281>: 10 And the dogs <3611> shall eat <0398> Jezebel <0348> in the portion <2506> of Jezreel <3157>, and [there shall be] none <0369> to bury <6912> [her]. And he opened <6605> the door <1817>, and fled <5127>. 11. Then Jehu <3058> came <3318> forth <3318> to the servants <5650> of his lord <0113>: and [one] said <0559> unto him, [Is] all well <7965>? wherefore <4069> came <0935> this <2088> mad <7696> [fellow] to thee? And he said <0559> unto them, Ye know <3045> the man <0376>, and his communication <7879>. 12 And they said <0559>, [It is] false <8267>; tell <5046> us now <4994>. And he said <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063> spake <0559> he to me, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee king <4428> over <0413> Israel <3478>. 13 Then they hasted <4116>, and took <3947> every man <0376> his garment <0899>, and put <7760> [it] under <8478> him on <0413> the top <1634> of the stairs <4609>, and blew <8628> with trumpets <7782>, saying <0559>, Jehu <3058> is king <4427>. 14 So Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250> conspired <7194> against <0413> Joram <3141>. (Now Joram <3141> had kept <8104> Ramothgilead <7433>, he and all <3605> Israel <3478>, because <6440> of Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>. 15 But king <4428> Joram <3188> was returned <7725> to be healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds <4347> which <0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him, when he fought <3898> with Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>.) And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, If <0518> it be your minds <5315>, [then] let none <0408> go <3318> forth <3318> [nor] escape <6412> out of the city <5892> to go <3212> to tell <5046> [it] in Jezreel <3157>. 16. So Jehu <3058> rode <7392> in a chariot, and went <3212> to Jezreel <3157>; for Joram <3141> lay <7901> there <8033>. And Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063> was come <3381> down <3381> to see <7200> Joram <3141>. 17 And there stood <5975> a watchman <6822> on <5921> the tower <4026> in Jezreel <3157>, and he spied <7200> the company <8229> of Jehu <3058> as he came <0935>, and said <0559>, I see <7200> a company <8229>. And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Take <3947> an horseman <7395>, and send <7971> to meet <7125> them, and let him say <0559>, [Is it] peace <7965>? 18 So there went <3212> one on horseback to meet <7125> him, and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, [Is it] peace <7965>? And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, What <4100> hast thou to do with peace <7965>? turn <5437> thee behind <0310> me. And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying <0559>, The messenger <4397> came <0935> to them, but he cometh <7725> not again <7725>. 19 Then he sent <7971> out a second <8145> on horseback, which came <0935> to them, and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, [Is it] peace <7965>? And Jehu <3058> answered <0559>, What <4100> hast thou to do with peace <7965>? turn <5437> thee behind <0310> me. 20 And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying <0559>, He came <0935> even unto them, and cometh <7725> not again <7725>: and the driving <4491> [is] like the driving <4491> of Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>; for he driveth <5090> furiously <7697>. 21 And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Make ready <0631>. And his chariot <7393> was made ready <0631>. And Joram <3188> king <4428> of Israel <3478> and Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063> went <3318> out, each <0376> in his chariot <7393>, and they went <3318> out against <7125> Jehu <3058>, and met <4672> him in the portion <2513> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite <3158>. 22 And it came <1961> to pass, when Joram <3188> saw <7200> Jehu <3058>, that he said <0559>, [Is it] peace <7965>, Jehu <3058>? And he answered <0559>, What <4100> peace <7965>, so long <5704> as the whoredoms <2183> of thy mother <0517> Jezebel <0348> and her witchcrafts <3785> [are so] many <7227>? 23 And Joram <3188> turned <2015> his hands <3027>, and fled <5127>, and said <0559> to Ahaziah <0274>, [There is] treachery <4820>, O Ahaziah <0274>. 24 And Jehu <3058> drew a bow <7198> with his full <4390> strength <3027>, and smote <5221> Jehoram <3088> between <0996> his arms <2220>, and the arrow <2678> went <3318> out at his heart <3820>, and he sunk <3766> down in his chariot <7393>. 25 Then said <0559> [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920> his captain <7991>, Take <5375> up, [and] cast <7993> him in the portion <2513> of the field <7704> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite <3158>: for remember <2142> how that, when I and thou rode <7392> together <6776> after <0310> Ahab <0256> his father <1>, the LORD <3068> laid <5375> this <2088> burden <4853> upon him; 26 Surely I have seen <7200> yesterday <0570> the blood <1818> of Naboth <5022>, and the blood <1818> of his sons <1121>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; and I will requite <7999> thee in this <2063> plat <2513>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Now <6258> therefore take <5375> [and] cast <7993> him into the plat <2513> [of ground], according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 27 But when Ahaziah <0274> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> saw <7200> [this], he fled <5127> by the way <1870> of the garden <1588> house <1004>. And Jehu <3058> followed <7291> after <0310> him, and said <0559>, Smite <5221> him also <1571> in the chariot <4818>. [And they did so] at the going <4608> up to Gur <1483>, which <0834> [is] by Ibleam <2991>. And he fled <5127> to Megiddo <4023>, and died <4191> there <8033>. 28 And his servants <5650> carried <7392> him in a chariot to Jerusalem <3389>, and buried <6912> him in his sepulchre <6900> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>. 29 And in the eleventh year <8141> of Joram <3188> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> began Ahaziah <0274> to reign <4427> over <5921> Judah <3063>. 30. And when Jehu <3058> was come <0935> to Jezreel <3157>, Jezebel <0348> heard <8085> [of it]; and she painted her face <5869>, and tired <3190> her head <7218>, and looked <8259> out at <1157> a window <2474>. 31 And as Jehu <3058> entered <0935> in at the gate <8179>, she said <0559>, [Had] Zimri <2174> peace <7965>, who slew <2026> his master <0113>? 32 And he lifted <5375> up his face <6440> to the window <2474>, and said <0559>, Who <4310> [is] on <0854> my side? who <4310>? And there looked <8259> out to him two <8147> [or] three <7969> eunuchs <5631>. 33 And he said <0559>, Throw <8058> her down <8058>. So they threw <8058> her down <8058>: and [some] of her blood <1818> was sprinkled <5137> on <0413> the wall <7023>, and on <0413> the horses <5483>: and he trode <7429> her under foot. 34 And when he was come <0935> in, he did eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and said <0559>, Go <6485>, see now <4994> this <2063> cursed <0779> [woman], and bury <6912> her: for she [is] a king's <4428> daughter <1323>. 35 And they went <3212> to bury <6912> her: but they found <4672> no <3808> more of her than the skull <1538>, and the feet <7272>, and the palms <3709> of [her] hands <3027>. 36 Wherefore they came <7725> again <7725>, and told <5046> him. And he said <0559>, This <1931> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant <5650> Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <8664>, saying <0559>, In the portion <2506> of Jezreel <3157> shall dogs <3611> eat <0398> the flesh <1320> of Jezebel <0348>: 37 And the carcase <5038> of Jezebel <0348> shall be as dung <1828> upon the face <6440> of the field <7704> in the portion <2506> of Jezreel <3157>; [so] that they shall not say <0559>, This <2063> [is] Jezebel <0348>. 2Kings 10 1. And Ahab <0256> had seventy <7657> sons <1121> in Samaria <8111>. And Jehu <3058> wrote <3789> letters <5612>, and sent <7971> to Samaria <8111>, unto the rulers <8269> of Jezreel <3157>, to the elders <2205>, and to them that brought <0539> up Ahab's <0256> [children], saying <0559>, 2 Now <6258> as soon as this <2088> letter <5612> cometh <0935> to you, seeing your master's <0113> sons <1121> [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots <7393> and horses <5483>, a fenced <4013> city <5892> also, and armour <5402>; 3 Look <7200> even out the best <2896> and meetest <3477> of your master's <0113> sons <1121>, and set <7760> [him] on <5921> his father's <1> throne <3678>, and fight <3898> for your master's <0113> house <1004>. 4 But they were exceedingly <3966> afraid <3372>, and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, two <8147> kings <4428> stood <5975> not before <6440> him: how <0349> then shall we stand <5975>? 5 And he that [was] over <5921> the house <1004>, and he that [was] over <5921> the city <5892>, the elders <2205> also, and the bringers <0539> up [of the children], sent <7971> to Jehu <3058>, saying <0559>, We [are] thy servants <5650>, and will do <6213> all <3605> that thou shalt bid <0559> us; we will not make any <0376> king <4427>: do <6213> thou [that which is] good <2896> in thine eyes <5869>. 6 Then he wrote <3789> a letter <5612> the second <8145> time to them, saying <0559>, If <0518> ye [be] mine, and [if <0518>] ye will hearken <8085> unto my voice <6963>, take <3947> ye the heads <7218> of the men <0582> your master's <0113> sons <1121>, and come <0935> to me to Jezreel <3157> by to morrow <4279> this time <6256>. Now the king's <4428> sons <1121>, [being] seventy <7657> persons <0376>, [were] with the great <1419> men of the city <5892>, which brought <1431> them up. 7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the letter <5612> came <0935> to them, that they took <3947> the king's <4428> sons <1121>, and slew <7819> seventy <7657> persons <0376>, and put <7760> their heads <7218> in baskets <1731>, and sent <7971> him [them] to Jezreel <3157>. 8 And there came <0935> a messenger <4397>, and told <5046> him, saying <0559>, They have brought <0935> the heads <7218> of the king's <4428> sons <1121>. And he said <0559>, Lay <7760> ye them in two <8147> heaps <6632> at the entering <6607> in of the gate <8179> until <5704> the morning <1242>. 9 And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, that he went <3318> out, and stood <5975>, and said <0559> to all <3605> the people <5971>, Ye [be] righteous <6662>: behold <2009>, I conspired <7194> against <5921> my master <0113>, and slew <2026> him: but who <4310> slew <5221> all <3605> these <0428>? 10 Know <3045> now <0645> that there shall fall <5307> unto the earth <0776> nothing <3808> of the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> spake <1696> concerning <5921> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>: for the LORD <3068> hath done <6213> [that] which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant <5650> Elijah <0452>. 11 So Jehu <3058> slew <5221> all <3605> that remained <7604> of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel <3157>, and all <3605> his great <1419> men, and his kinsfolks <3045>, and his priests <3548>, until <5704> he left <7604> him none <1115> remaining <8300>. 12 And he arose <6965> and departed <0935>, and came <1980> to Samaria <8111>. [And] as he [was] at the shearing house <1004> in the way <1870>, 13 Jehu <3058> met <4672> with the brethren <0251> of Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and said <0559>, Who <4310> [are] ye? And they answered <0559>, We [are] the brethren <0251> of Ahaziah <0274>; and we go <3381> down <3381> to salute <7965> the children <1121> of the king <4428> and the children <1121> of the queen <1377>. 14 And he said <0559>, Take <8610> them alive <2416>. And they took <8610> them alive <2416>, and slew <7819> them at the pit <0953> of the shearing <1044> house <1004>, [even] two <8147> and forty <0705> men <0376>; neither <3808> left <7604> he any <0376> of them. 15. And when he was departed <3212> thence <8033>, he lighted <4672> on <0854> Jehonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> [coming] to meet <7125> him: and he saluted <1288> him, and said <0559> to him, Is thine heart <3824> right <3225>, as my heart <3824> [is] with thy heart <3824>? And Jehonadab <3082> answered <0559>, It is. If it be, give <5414> [me] thine hand <3027>. And he gave <5414> [him] his hand <3027>; and he took <5927> him up to him into <0413> the chariot <4818>. 16 And he said <0559>, Come <3212> with me, and see <7200> my zeal <7068> for the LORD <3068>. So they made him ride <7392> in his chariot <7393>. 17 And when he came <0935> to Samaria <8111>, he slew <5221> all <3605> that remained <7604> unto Ahab <0256> in Samaria <8111>, till <5704> he had destroyed <8045> him, according to the saying <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> to Elijah <0452>. 18 And Jehu <3058> gathered <6908> all <3605> the people <5971> together, and said <0559> unto them, Ahab <0256> served <5647> Baal <1168> a little <4592>; [but] Jehu <3058> shall serve <5647> him much <7235>. 19 Now <6258> therefore call <7121> unto me all <3605> the prophets <5030> of Baal <1168>, all <3605> his servants <5647>, and all <3605> his priests <3548>; let none be wanting <6485>: for I have a great <1419> sacrifice <2077> [to do] to Baal <1168>; whosoever shall be wanting <6485>, he shall not live <2421>. But Jehu <3058> did <6213> [it] in subtilty <6122>, to the intent <4616> that he might destroy <6> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>. 20 And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Proclaim <6942> a solemn <6116> assembly <6116> for Baal <1168>. And they proclaimed <7121> [it]. 21 And Jehu <3058> sent <7971> through all <3605> Israel <3478>: and all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> came <0935>, so that there was not a man <0376> left <7604> that came <0935> not. And they came <0935> into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>; and the house <1004> of Baal <1168> was full <4390> from one end <6310> to another. 22 And he said <0559> unto him that [was] over <5921> the vestry <4458>, Bring <3318> forth <3318> vestments <3830> for all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>. And he brought <3318> them forth <3318> vestments <4403>. 23 And Jehu <3058> went <0935>, and Jehonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394>, into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and said <0559> unto the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>, Search <2664>, and look <7200> that there be here <6311> with you none of the servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, but the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> only <0905>. 24 And when <3588> they went <0935> in to offer <6213> sacrifices <2077> and burnt <5930> offerings, Jehu <3058> appointed <7760> fourscore <8084> men <0376> without <2351>, and said <0559>, [If] any of the men <0582> whom <0834> I have brought <0935> into <5921> your hands <3027> escape <4422>, [he that letteth him go], his life <2421> [shall be] for the life <5315> of him. 25 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon as he had made an end <3615> of offering <6213> the burnt <5930> offering, that Jehu <3058> said <0559> to the guard <7323> and to the captains <7991>, Go <0935> in, [and] slay <5221> them; let none <0408> come <3381> forth <3318>. And they smote <5221> them with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>; and the guard <7323> and the captains <7991> cast <7993> [them] out, and went <3212> to the city <5892> of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>. 26 And they brought <3318> forth <3318> the images <4676> out of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and burned <8313> them. 27 And they brake <5422> down <5422> the image <4676> of Baal <1168>, and brake <5422> down <5422> the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and made <7760> it a draught <4280> house unto this <2088> day <3117>. 28 Thus <3541> Jehu <3058> destroyed <8045> Baal <1168> out of Israel <3478>. 29. Howbeit [from] the sins <2399> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>, Jehu <3058> departed <5493> not from after <0310> them, [to wit], the golden <2091> calves <5695> that [were] in Bethel <1008>, and that [were] in Dan <1835>. 30 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Jehu <3058>, Because thou hast done well <2895> in executing <6213> [that which is] right <3225> in mine eyes <5869>, [and] hast done <6213> unto the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> according to all <3605> that [was] in mine heart <3824>, thy children <1121> of the fourth <7243> [generation] shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of Israel <3478>. 31 But Jehu <3058> took no <3808> heed <8104> to walk <3212> in the law <8451> of the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> with all <3605> his heart <3824>: for he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379>, which <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 32 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to cut <7096> Israel <3478> short: and Hazael <2371> smote <5221> them in all <3605> the coasts <1366> of Israel <3478>; 33 From Jordan <3383> eastward, all <3605> the land <0776> of Gilead <1568>, the Gadites <1425>, and the Reubenites <7206>, and the Manassites <4520>, from Aroer <6177>, which <0834> [is] by the river <5158> Arnon <0769>, even Gilead <1568> and Bashan <1316>. 34 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehu <3058>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and all <3605> his might <1369>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 35 And Jehu <3058> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>: and they buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>. And Jehoahaz <3059> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 36 And the time <3117> that Jehu <3058> reigned <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> [was] twenty <6242> and eight <8083> years <8141>. 2Kings 11 1. And when Athaliah <6271> the mother <0517> of Ahaziah <0274> saw <7200> that her son <1121> was dead <4191>, she arose <6965> and destroyed <6> all <3605> the seed <2233> royal <4467>. 2 But Jehosheba <3089>, the daughter <1323> of king <4428> Joram <3141>, sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274>, took <3947> Joash <3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <1589> him from among <8432> the king's <4428> sons <1121> [which were] slain <4191>; and they hid <5641> him, [even] him and his nurse <3243>, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271>, so that he was not slain <4191>. 3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> six <8337> years <8141>. And Athaliah <6271> did reign <4427> over <5921> the land <0776>. 4. And the seventh <7637> year <8141> Jehoiada <3111> sent <7971> and fetched <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>, with the captains <3746> and the guard <7323>, and brought <0935> them to him into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and made <3772> a covenant <1285> with them, and took an oath <7650> of them in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and shewed <7200> them the king's <4428> son <1121>. 5 And he commanded <6680> them, saying <0559>, This <2088> [is] the thing <1697> that ye shall do <6213>; A third <7992> part of you that enter <0935> in on the sabbath <7676> shall even be keepers <8104> of the watch <4931> of the king's <4428> house <1004>; 6 And a third <7992> part [shall be] at the gate <8179> of Sur <5495>; and a third <7992> part at the gate <8179> behind <0310> the guard <7323>: so shall ye keep <8104> the watch <4931> of the house <1004>, that it be not broken <4535> down <4535>. 7 And two <8147> parts <3027> of all <3605> you that go <3318> forth <3318> on the sabbath <7676>, even they shall keep <8104> the watch <4931> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> about <0413> the king <4428>. 8 And ye shall compass <5362> the king <4428> round <5439> about, every man <0376> with his weapons <3627> in his hand <3027>: and he that cometh <0935> within the ranges <7713>, let him be slain <4191>: and be ye with the king <4428> as he goeth <3318> out and as he cometh <0935> in. 9 And the captains <8269> over the hundreds <3967> did <6213> according to all <3605> [things] that Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> commanded <6680>: and they took <3947> every man <0376> his men <0582> that were to come <0935> in on the sabbath <7676>, with them that should go <3318> out on the sabbath <7676>, and came <0935> to Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>. 10 And to the captains <8269> over hundreds <3967> did the priest <3548> give <5414> king <4428> David's <1732> spears <2595> and shields <7982>, that [were] in the temple <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 11 And the guard <7323> stood <5975>, every man <0376> with his weapons <3627> in his hand <3027>, round <5439> about <5921> the king <4428>, from the right <3233> corner <3802> of the temple <1004> to the left <8042> corner <3802> of the temple <1004>, [along] by the altar <4196> and the temple <1004>. 12 And he brought <3318> forth <3318> the king's <4428> son <1121>, and put <5414> the crown <5145> upon him, and [gave him] the testimony <5715>; and they made him king <4427>, and anointed <4886> him; and they clapped <5221> their hands <3709>, and said <0559>, God save <2421> the king <4428>. 13. And when Athaliah <6271> heard <8085> the noise <6963> of the guard <7323> [and] of the people <5971>, she came <0935> to the people <5971> into the temple <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 14 And when she looked <7200>, behold <2009>, the king <4428> stood <5975> by a pillar <5982>, as the manner <4941> [was], and the princes <8269> and the trumpeters <2689> by the king <4428>, and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <8056>, and blew <8628> with trumpets: and Athaliah <6271> rent <7167> her clothes <0899>, and cried <7121>, Treason <7195>, Treason <7195>. 15 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> commanded <6680> the captains <8269> of the hundreds <3967>, the officers <6485> of the host <2428>, and said <0559> unto them, Have <3318> her forth <3318> without the ranges <7713>: and him that followeth her kill <4191> with the sword <2719>. For the priest <3548> had said <0559>, Let her not be slain <4191> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 16 And they laid <7760> hands <3027> on her; and she went <0935> by the way <1870> by the which the horses <5483> came <3996> into the king's <4428> house <1004>: and there <8033> was she slain <4191>. 17. And Jehoiada <3111> made <3772> a covenant <1285> between <0996> the LORD <3068> and the king <4428> and the people <5971>, that they should be the LORD'S <3068> people <5971>; between <0996> the king <4428> also and the people <5971>. 18 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> went <0935> into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and brake <5422> it down <5422>; his altars <4196> and his images <6754> brake <7665> they in pieces thoroughly <3190>, and slew <2026> Mattan <4977> the priest <3548> of Baal <1168> before <6440> the altars <4196>. And the priest <3548> appointed <7760> officers <6486> over <5921> the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 19 And he took <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>, and the captains <3746>, and the guard <7323>, and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776>; and they brought <3381> down <3381> the king <4428> from the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and came <0935> by the way <1870> of the gate <8179> of the guard <7323> to the king's <4428> house <1004>. And he sat <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of the kings <4428>. 20 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <8055>, and the city <5892> was in quiet <8252>: and they slew <4191> Athaliah <6271> with the sword <2719> [beside] the king's <4428> house <1004>. 21 Seven <7651> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Jehoash <3060> when he began to reign <4427>. 2Kings 12 1. In the seventh <7651> year <8141> of Jehu <3058> Jehoash <3060> began to reign <4427>; and forty <0705> years <8141> reigned <4427> he in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Zibiah <6645> of Beersheba <0884>. 2 And Jehoash <3060> did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> all <3605> his days <3117> wherein <0834> Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> instructed <3384> him. 3 But the high <1116> places were not taken <5493> away <5493>: the people <5971> still <5750> sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> in the high <1116> places. 4. And Jehoash <3060> said <0559> to the priests <3548>, All <3605> the money <3701> of the dedicated <6944> things that is brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, [even] the money <3701> of every <3605> one that passeth <5674> [the account], the money <3701> that every man <5315> is set <6187> at, [and] all <3605> the money <3701> that cometh <5927> into <5921> any man's <0376> heart <3820> to bring <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, 5 Let the priests <3548> take <3947> [it] to them, every man <0376> of his acquaintance <4378>: and let them repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>, wheresoever any <0376> breach <0919> shall be found <4672>. 6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year <8141> of king <4428> Jehoash <3060> the priests <3548> had not repaired <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>. 7 Then king <4428> Jehoash <3060> called <7121> for Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>, and the [other] priests <3548>, and said <0559> unto them, Why <4069> repair <2388> ye not the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>? now <6258> therefore receive <3947> no <0408> [more] money <3701> of your acquaintance <4378>, but deliver <5414> it for the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>. 8 And the priests <3548> consented <0225> to receive <3947> no <1115> [more] money <3701> of the people <5971>, neither <1115> to repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>. 9 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> took <3947> a chest <0727>, and bored <5344> a hole <2356> in the lid <1817> of it, and set <5414> it beside <0681> the altar <4196>, on the right <3225> side <3225> as one <0376> cometh <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: and the priests <3548> that kept <8104> the door <5592> put <5414> therein <8033> all <3605> the money <3701> [that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200> that [there was] much <7225> money <3701> in the chest <0727>, that the king's <4428> scribe <5608> and the high <1419> priest <3548> came <5927> up, and they put <6695> up in bags <6696>, and told <4487> the money <3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 11 And they gave <5414> the money <3701>, being told <8505>, into <5921> the hands <3027> of them that did <6213> the work <4399>, that had the oversight <6485> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: and they laid <3318> it out to the carpenters <6086> and builders <1129>, that wrought <6213> upon the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, 12 And to masons <1443>, and hewers <2672> of stone <68>, and to buy <7069> timber <6086> and hewed <4274> stone <68> to repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and for all <3605> that was laid <3318> out for the house <1004> to repair <2393> [it]. 13 Howbeit there were not made <6213> for the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> bowls <5592> of silver <3701>, snuffers <4212>, basons <4219>, trumpets <2689>, any vessels <3627> of gold <2091>, or vessels <3627> of silver <3701>, of the money <3701> [that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: 14 But they gave <5414> that to the workmen, and repaired <2388> therewith the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 15 Moreover they reckoned <2803> not with the men <0582>, into <5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> they delivered <5414> the money <3701> to be bestowed <5414> on workmen: for they dealt <6213> faithfully <0530>. 16 The trespass <0817> money <3701> and sin money <3701> was not brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: it was the priests <3548>'. 17. Then <0227> Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> went <5927> up, and fought <3898> against <5921> Gath <1661>, and took <3920> it: and Hazael <2371> set <7760> his face <6440> to go <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389>. 18 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Judah <3063> took <3947> all <3605> the hallowed <6944> things that Jehoshaphat <3092>, and Jehoram <3088>, and Ahaziah <0274>, his fathers <1>, kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, had dedicated <6942>, and his own hallowed <6944> things, and all <3605> the gold <2091> [that was] found <4672> in the treasures <0214> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the king's <4428> house <1004>, and sent <7971> [it] to Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>: and he went <5927> away from Jerusalem <3389>. 19 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 20 And his servants <5650> arose <6965>, and made a conspiracy <7195>, and slew <5221> Joash <3101> in the house <1004> of Millo <4407>, which goeth <3381> down <3381> to Silla <5538>. 21 For Jozachar <3108> the son <1121> of Shimeath <8100>, and Jehozabad <3075> the son <1121> of Shomer <7763>, his servants <5650>, smote <5221> him, and he died <4191>; and they buried <6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>: and Amaziah <0558> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 13 1. In the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year <8141> of Joash <3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Jehoahaz <3059> the son <1121> of Jehu <3058> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] seventeen <7651> years <8141>. 2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, and followed the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed <5493> not therefrom. 3 And the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> was kindled <2734> against Israel <3478>, and he delivered <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>, and into the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130> the son <1121> of Hazael <2371>, all <3605> [their] days <3117>. 4 And Jehoahaz <3059> besought <2470> the LORD <3068>, and the LORD <3068> hearkened <8085> unto him: for he saw <7200> the oppression <3906> of Israel <3478>, because <3588> the king <4428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <3905> them. 5 (And the LORD <3068> gave <5414> Israel <3478> a saviour <3467>, so that they went <3318> out from under <8478> the hand <3027> of the Syrians <0758>: and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> dwelt <3427> in their tents <0168>, as beforetime <6440>. 6 Nevertheless <0389> they departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> sin <2398>, [but] walked <1980> therein: and there remained <5975> the grove <0842> also <1571> in Samaria <8111>.) 7 Neither <3808> did he leave <7604> of the people <5971> to Jehoahaz <3059> but fifty <2572> horsemen <6571>, and ten <6235> chariots <7393>, and ten <6235> thousand <0505> footmen <7273>; for the king <4428> of Syria <0758> had destroyed <6> them, and had made <7760> them like the dust <6083> by threshing <1758>. 8 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoahaz <3059>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 9 And Jehoahaz <3059> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and they buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>: and Joash <3101> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 10. In the thirty <7970> and seventh <7651> year <8141> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] sixteen years <8141>. 11 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>; he departed <5493> not from all <3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> sin <2398>: [but] he walked <1980> therein. 12 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and all <3605> that he did, and his might <1369> wherewith <0834> he fought <3898> against <5973> Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 13 And Joash <3101> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and Jeroboam <3379> sat <3427> upon his throne <3678>: and Joash <3101> was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>. 14 Now Elisha <0477> was fallen sick <2470> of his sickness <2483> whereof <0834> he died <4191>. And Joash <3101> the king <4428> of Israel <3478> came <3381> down <3381> unto him, and wept <1058> over <5921> his face <6440>, and said <0559>, O my father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>, and the horsemen <6571> thereof. 15 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Take <3947> bow <7198> and arrows <2671>. And he took <3947> unto him bow <7198> and arrows <2671>. 16 And he said <0559> to the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Put <7392> thine hand <3027> upon the bow <7198>. And he put <7760> his hand <3027> [upon it]: and Elisha <0477> put <7760> his hands <3027> upon the king's <4428> hands <3027>. 17 And he said <0559>, Open <6605> the window <2474> eastward <6924>. And he opened <6605> [it]. Then Elisha <0477> said <0559>, Shoot <3384>. And he shot <3384>. And he said <0559>, The arrow <2671> of the LORD'S <3068> deliverance <8668>, and the arrow <2671> of deliverance <8668> from Syria <0758>: for thou shalt smite <5221> the Syrians <0758> in Aphek <0663>, till <5704> thou have consumed <3615> [them]. 18 And he said <0559>, Take <3947> the arrows <2671>. And he took <3947> [them]. And he said <0559> unto the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Smite <5221> upon the ground <0776>. And he smote <5221> thrice, and stayed <5975>. 19 And the man <0376> of God <0430> was wroth <7107> with him, and said <0559>, Thou shouldest have smitten <5221> five <2568> or <0176> six <8337> times <6471>; then <0227> hadst thou smitten <5221> Syria <0758> till <5704> thou hadst consumed <3615> [it]: whereas <6258> now <6258> thou shalt smite <5221> Syria <0758> [but] thrice. 20. And Elisha <0477> died <4191>, and they buried <6912> him. And the bands <1416> of the Moabites <4124> invaded <0935> the land <0776> at the coming <0935> in of the year <8141>. 21 And it came <1961> to pass, as they were burying <6912> a man <0376>, that, behold <2009>, they spied <7200> a band <1416> [of men]; and they cast <7993> the man <0376> into the sepulchre <6913> of Elisha <0477>: and when the man <0376> was let <3212> down <3212>, and touched <5060> the bones <6106> of Elisha <0477>, he revived <2421>, and stood <6965> up on <5921> his feet <7272>. 22 But Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <3905> Israel <3478> all <3605> the days <3117> of Jehoahaz <3059>. 23 And the LORD <3068> was gracious <2603> unto them, and had compassion <7355> on them, and had respect <6437> unto them, because <4616> of his covenant <1285> with Abraham <85>, Isaac <3327>, and Jacob <3290>, and would <14> not destroy <7843> them, neither <3808> cast <7993> he them from his presence <6440> as yet. 24 So Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> died <4191>; and Benhadad <1130> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 25 And Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> took <3947> again <7725> out of the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130> the son <1121> of Hazael <2371> the cities <5892>, which <0834> he had taken <3947> out of the hand <3027> of Jehoahaz <3059> his father <1> by war <4421>. Three <7969> times <6471> did Joash <3101> beat <5221> him, and recovered <7725> the cities <5892> of Israel <3478>. 2Kings 14 1. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Joash <3101> son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> king <4428> of Israel <3478> reigned <4427> Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063>. 2 He was twenty <6242> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121> when he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> twenty <6242> and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Jehoaddan <3086> of Jerusalem <3389>. 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, yet <7535> not like David <1732> his father <1>: he did <6213> according to all <3605> things as Joash <3101> his father <1> did <6213>. 4 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not taken <5493> away <5493>: as yet <5750> the people <5971> did sacrifice <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> on the high <1116> places. 5 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon <0834> as the kingdom <4467> was confirmed <2388> in his hand <3027>, that he slew <5221> his servants <5650> which <0834> had slain <5221> the king <4428> his father <1>. 6 But the children <1121> of the murderers <5221> he slew <4191> not: according unto that which is written <3789> in the book <5612> of the law <8451> of Moses <4872>, wherein <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, saying <0559>, The fathers <1> shall not be put <4191> to death <4191> for the children <1121>, nor <3808> the children <1121> be put <4191> to death <4191> for the fathers <1>; but every man <0376> shall be put <4191> to death <4191> for his own sin <2399>. 7 He slew <5221> of Edom <0123> in the valley <1516> of salt <4417> ten <6235> thousand <0505>, and took <8610> Selah <5554> by war <4421>, and called <7121> the name <8034> of it Joktheel <3371> unto this <2088> day <3117>. 8. Then <0227> Amaziah <0558> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to Jehoash <3060>, the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> son <1121> of Jehu <3058>, king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Come <3212>, let us look <7200> one another in the face <6440>. 9 And Jehoash <3060> the king <4428> of Israel <3478> sent <7971> to Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, The thistle <2336> that [was] in Lebanon <3844> sent <7971> to the cedar <0730> that [was] in Lebanon <3844>, saying <0559>, Give <5414> thy daughter <1323> to my son <1121> to wife <0802>: and there passed <5674> by a wild <7704> beast <2416> that [was] in Lebanon <3844>, and trode <7429> down the thistle <2336>. 10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221> Edom <0123>, and thine heart <3820> hath lifted <5375> thee up: glory <3513> [of this], and tarry <3427> at home <1004>: for why shouldest thou meddle <1624> to [thy] hurt <7451>, that thou shouldest fall <5307>, [even] thou, and Judah <3063> with thee? 11 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <8085>. Therefore Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Israel <3478> went <5927> up; and he and Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063> looked <7200> one another in the face <6440> at Bethshemesh <1053>, which <0834> [belongeth] to Judah <3063>. 12 And Judah <3063> was put to the worse <5062> before <6440> Israel <3478>; and they fled <5127> every man <0376> to their tents <0168>. 13 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Israel <3478> took <8610> Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, the son <1121> of Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, at Bethshemesh <1053>, and came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>, and brake <6555> down the wall <2346> of Jerusalem <3389> from the gate <8179> of Ephraim <0669> unto the corner <6438> gate <8179>, four <0702> hundred <3967> cubits <0520>. 14 And he took <3947> all <3605> the gold <2091> and silver <3701>, and all <3605> the vessels <3627> that were found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>, and hostages, and returned <7725> to Samaria <8111>. 15. Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoash <3060> which <0834> he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, and how <0834> he fought <3898> with Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 16 And Jehoash <3060> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>; and Jeroboam <3379> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 17 And Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> lived <2421> after <0310> the death <4194> of Jehoash <3060> son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> king <4428> of Israel <3478> fifteen <6240> years <8141>. 18 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Amaziah <0558>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195> against <5921> him in Jerusalem <3389>: and he fled <5127> to Lachish <3923>; but they sent <7971> after <0310> him to Lachish <3923>, and slew <4191> him there <8033>. 20 And they brought <5375> him on <5921> horses <5483>: and he was buried <6912> at Jerusalem <3389> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>. 21 And all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063> took <3947> Azariah <5838>, which <1931> [was] sixteen years <8141> old <1121>, and made him king <4427> instead <8478> of his father <1> Amaziah <0558>. 22 He built <1129> Elath <0359>, and restored <7725> it to Judah <3063>, after <0310> that the king <4428> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>. 23. In the fifteenth <6240> year <8141> of Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] forty <0705> and one <0259> years <8141>. 24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from all <3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 25 He restored <7725> the coast <1366> of Israel <3478> from the entering <0935> of Hamath <2574> unto the sea <3220> of the plain <6160>, according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by the hand <3027> of his servant <5650> Jonah <3124>, the son <1121> of Amittai <0573>, the prophet <5030>, which <0834> [was] of Gathhepher <1662>. 26 For the LORD <3068> saw <7200> the affliction <6040> of Israel <3478>, [that it was] very <3966> bitter <4784>: for [there was] not any shut <6113> up, nor <0369> any left <5800>, nor <0369> any helper <5826> for Israel <3478>. 27 And the LORD <3068> said <1696> not that he would blot <4229> out the name <8034> of Israel <3478> from under <8478> heaven <8064>: but he saved <3467> them by the hand <3027> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101>. 28 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jeroboam <3379>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might <1369>, how <0834> he warred <3898>, and how <0834> he recovered <7725> Damascus <1834>, and Hamath <2574>, [which belonged] to Judah <3063>, for Israel <3478>, are they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 29 And Jeroboam <3379> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, [even] with the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>; and Zachariah <2148> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 15 1. In the twenty <6242> and seventh <7651> year <8141> of Jeroboam <3379> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began Azariah <5838> son <1121> of Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063> to reign <4427>. 2 Sixteen years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned <4427> two <8147> and fifty <2572> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Jecholiah <3203> of Jerusalem <3389>. 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all <3605> that his father <1> Amaziah <0558> had done <6213>; 4 Save <7535> that the high <1116> places were not removed <5493>: the people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> still <5750> on the high <1116> places. 5 And the LORD <3068> smote <5221> the king <4428>, so that he was a leper <6879> unto the day <3117> of his death <4194>, and dwelt <3427> in a several <2669> house <1004>. And Jotham <3147> the king's <4428> son <1121> [was] over <5921> the house <1004>, judging <8199> the people <5971> of the land <0776>. 6 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Azariah <5838>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 7 So Azariah <5838> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and they buried <6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>: and Jotham <3147> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 8. In the thirty <7970> and eighth <8083> year <8141> of Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> did Zachariah <2148> the son <1121> of Jeroboam <3379> reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> six <8337> months <2320>. 9 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, as his fathers <1> had done <6213>: he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 10 And Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> conspired <7194> against <5921> him, and smote <5221> him before <6905> the people <5971>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 11 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Zachariah <2148>, behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>. 12 This <1931> [was] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> he spake <1696> unto Jehu <3058>, saying <0559>, Thy sons <1121> shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of Israel <3478> unto the fourth <7243> [generation]. And so <3651> it came <1961> to pass. 13 Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> began to reign <4427> in the nine <8672> and thirtieth <7970> year <8141> of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; and he reigned <4427> a full <3117> month <3391> in Samaria <8111>. 14 For Menahem <4505> the son <1121> of Gadi <1424> went <5927> up from Tirzah <8656>, and came <0935> to Samaria <8111>, and smote <5221> Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> in Samaria <8111>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 15 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Shallum <7967>, and his conspiracy <7195> which <0834> he made <7194>, behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>. 16 Then <0227> Menahem <4505> smote <5221> Tiphsah <8607>, and all <3605> that [were] therein, and the coasts <1366> thereof from Tirzah <8656>: because <3588> they opened <6605> not [to him], therefore he smote <5221> [it; and] all <3605> the women therein that were with child <2030> he ripped <1234> up. 17 In the nine <8672> and thirtieth <7970> year <8141> of Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Menahem <4505> the son <1121> of Gadi <1424> to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478>, [and reigned] ten <6235> years <8141> in Samaria <8111>. 18 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not all <3605> his days <3117> from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 19 [And] Pul <6322> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came <0935> against <5921> the land <0776>: and Menahem <4505> gave <5414> Pul <6322> a thousand <0505> talents <3603> of silver <3701>, that his hand <3027> might be with him to confirm <2388> the kingdom <4467> in his hand <3027>. 20 And Menahem <4505> exacted <3318> the money <3701> of Israel <3478>, [even] of all <3605> the mighty <1368> men of wealth <2428>, of each <0259> man <0376> fifty <2572> shekels <8255> of silver <3701>, to give <5414> to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. So the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> turned <7725> back <7725>, and stayed <5975> not there <8033> in the land <0776>. 21 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Menahem <4505>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>? 22 And Menahem <4505> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and Pekahiah <6494> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 23 In the fiftieth <2572> year <8141> of Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Pekahiah <6494> the son <1121> of Menahem <4505> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] two <8147> years <8141>. 24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 25 But Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>, a captain <7991> of his, conspired <7194> against <5921> him, and smote <5221> him in Samaria <8111>, in the palace <0759> of the king's <4428> house <1004>, with Argob <0709> and Arieh <0745>, and with him fifty <2572> men <0376> of the Gileadites <1569>: and he killed <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his room <8478>. 26 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekahiah <6494>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>. 27 In the two <8147> and fiftieth <2572> year <8141> of Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] twenty <6242> years <8141>. 28 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>. 29 In the days <3117> of Pekah <6492> king <4428> of Israel <3478> came <0935> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and took <3947> Ijon <5859>, and Abelbethmaachah <62>, and Janoah <3239>, and Kedesh <6943>, and Hazor <2674>, and Gilead <1568>, and Galilee <1551>, all <3605> the land <0776> of Naphtali <5321>, and carried <1540> them captive <1540> to Assyria <0804>. 30 And Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah <0425> made a conspiracy <7195> against <5921> Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>, and smote <5221> him, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, in the twentieth <6242> year <8141> of Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818>. 31 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekah <6492>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>. 32. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063> to reign <4427>. 33 Five <2568> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned <4427> sixteen years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Jerusha <3388>, the daughter <1323> of Zadok <6659>. 34 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: he did <6213> according to all <3605> that his father <1> Uzziah <5818> had done <6213>. 35 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not removed <5493>: the people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burned <6999> incense <6999> still <5750> in the high <1116> places. He built <1129> the higher <5945> gate <8179> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 36 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jotham <3147>, and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 37 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to send <7971> against Judah <3063> Rezin <7526> the king <4428> of Syria <0758>, and Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>. 38 And Jotham <3147> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732> his father <1>: and Ahaz <0271> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 16 1. In the seventeenth <7651> year <8141> of Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> Ahaz <0271> the son <1121> of Jotham <3147> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>. 2 Twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Ahaz <0271> when he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> sixteen years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>, and did <6213> not [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> his God <0430>, like David <1732> his father <1>. 3 But he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>, yea <1571>, and made his son <1121> to pass <5674> through the fire <0784>, according to the abominations <8441> of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast <3423> out from before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>. 4 And he sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> in the high <1116> places, and on <5921> the hills <1389>, and under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>. 5. Then <0227> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758> and Pekah <6492> son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel <3478> came <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389> to war <4421>: and they besieged <6696> Ahaz <0271>, but could <3201> not overcome <3898> [him]. 6 At that time <6256> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758> recovered <7725> Elath <0359> to Syria <0758>, and drave <5394> the Jews <3064> from Elath <0359>: and the Syrians <0758> came <0935> to Elath <0359>, and dwelt <3427> there <8033> unto this <2088> day <3117>. 7 So Ahaz <0271> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, saying <0559>, I [am] thy servant <5650> and thy son <1121>: come <5927> up, and save <3467> me out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Syria <0758>, and out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, which rise <6965> up against <5921> me. 8 And Ahaz <0271> took <3947> the silver <3701> and gold <2091> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>, and sent <7971> [it for] a present <7810> to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 9 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> hearkened <8085> unto him: for the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> went <5927> up against <0413> Damascus <1834>, and took <8610> it, and carried <1540> [the people of] it captive <1540> to Kir <7024>, and slew <4191> Rezin <7526>. 10. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> went <3212> to Damascus <1834> to meet <7125> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and saw <7200> an altar <4196> that [was] at Damascus <1834>: and king <4428> Ahaz <0271> sent <7971> to Urijah <0223> the priest <3548> the fashion <1823> of the altar <4196>, and the pattern <8403> of it, according to all <3605> the workmanship <4639> thereof. 11 And Urijah <0223> the priest <3548> built <1129> an altar <4196> according to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> had sent <7971> from Damascus <1834>: so <3651> Urijah <0223> the priest <3548> made <6213> [it] against <5704> king <4428> Ahaz <0271> came <0935> from Damascus <1834>. 12 And when the king <4428> was come <0935> from Damascus <1834>, the king <4428> saw <7200> the altar <4196>: and the king <4428> approached <7126> to the altar <4196>, and offered <5927> thereon <5921>. 13 And he burnt <6999> his burnt <6999> offering and his meat offering <4503>, and poured <5258> his drink <5262> offering, and sprinkled <2236> the blood <1818> of his peace <8002> offerings, upon the altar <4196>. 14 And he brought <7126> also the brasen <5178> altar <4196>, which <0834> [was] before <6440> the LORD <3068>, from the forefront <6440> of the house <1004>, from between <0996> the altar <4196> and the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and put <5414> it on <5921> the north <6828> side <3409> of the altar <4196>. 15 And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680> Urijah <0223> the priest <3548>, saying <0559>, Upon the great <1419> altar <4196> burn <6999> the morning <1242> burnt <5930> offering, and the evening <6153> meat offering <4503>, and the king's <4428> burnt <5930> sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt <5930> offering of all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776>, and their meat offering <4503>, and their drink <5262> offerings; and sprinkle <2236> upon it all <3605> the blood <1818> of the burnt <5930> offering, and all <3605> the blood <1818> of the sacrifice <2077>: and the brasen <5178> altar <4196> shall be for me to enquire <1239> [by]. 16 Thus did <6213> Urijah <0223> the priest <3548>, according to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680>. 17. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> cut <7112> off the borders <4526> of the bases <4350>, and removed <5493> the laver <3595> from off <5921> them; and took <3381> down <3381> the sea <3220> from off <5921> the brasen <5178> oxen <1241> that [were] under <8478> it, and put <5414> it upon a pavement <4837> of stones <68>. 18 And the covert <4329> for the sabbath <7676> that they had built <1129> in the house <1004>, and the king's <4428> entry <3996> without <2435>, turned <5437> he from the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> for the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 19 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaz <0271> which <0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 20 And Ahaz <0271> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David <1732>: and Hezekiah <2396> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 17 1. In the twelfth year <8141> of Ahaz <0271> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah <0425> to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111> over <5921> Israel <3478> nine <8672> years <8141>. 2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, but not as the kings <4428> of Israel <3478> that were before <6440> him. 3 Against <5921> him came <5927> up Shalmaneser <8022> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>; and Hoshea <1954> became <1961> his servant <5650>, and gave <7725> him presents <4503>. 4 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> found <4672> conspiracy <7195> in Hoshea <1954>: for he had sent <7971> messengers <4397> to So <5471> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and brought <5927> no <3808> present <4503> to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, as [he had done] year <8141> by year <8141>: therefore the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> shut <6113> him up, and bound <0631> him in prison. 5 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5927> up throughout all <3605> the land <0776>, and went <5927> up to Samaria <8111>, and besieged <6696> it three <7969> years <8141>. 6 In the ninth <8671> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> took <3920> Samaria <8111>, and carried <1540> Israel <3478> away <1540> into Assyria <0804>, and placed <3427> them in Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river <5104> of Gozan <1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes <4074>. 7. For [so] it was, that the children <1121> of Israel <3478> had sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, which had brought <5927> them up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, from under <8478> the hand <3027> of Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and had feared <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>, 8 And walked <3212> in the statutes <2708> of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast <3423> out from before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> they had made <6213>. 9 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did secretly <2644> [those] things <1697> that [were] not right <3651> against <5921> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and they built <1129> them high <1116> places in all <3605> their cities <5892>, from the tower <4026> of the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013> city <5892>. 10 And they set <5324> them up images <4676> and groves <0842> in every <3605> high <1364> hill <1389>, and under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>: 11 And there <8033> they burnt <6999> incense <6999> in all <3605> the high <1116> places, as [did] the heathen <1471> whom <0834> the LORD <3068> carried <1540> away <1540> before <6440> them; and wrought <6213> wicked <7451> things <1697> to provoke the LORD <3068> to anger <3707>: 12 For they served <5647> idols <1544>, whereof <0834> the LORD <3068> had said <0559> unto them, Ye shall not do <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>. 13 Yet the LORD <3068> testified <5749> against Israel <3478>, and against Judah <3063>, by all <3605> the prophets <5030>, [and by] all <3605> the seers <2374>, saying <0559>, Turn <7725> ye from your evil <7451> ways <1870>, and keep <8104> my commandments <4687> [and] my statutes <2708>, according to all <3605> the law <8451> which <0834> I commanded <6680> your fathers <1>, and which <0834> I sent <7971> to you by my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>. 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085>, but hardened <7185> their necks <6203>, like to the neck <6203> of their fathers <1>, that did not believe <0539> in the LORD <3068> their God <0430>. 15 And they rejected <3988> his statutes <2706>, and his covenant <1285> that he made <3772> with their fathers <1>, and his testimonies <5715> which <0834> he testified <5749> against them; and they followed vanity <1892>, and became <1891> vain <1891>, and went <3212> after <0310> the heathen <1471> that [were] round <5439> about them, [concerning] whom <0834> the LORD <3068> had charged <6680> them, that they should not do <6213> like them. 16 And they left <5800> all <3605> the commandments <4687> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and made <6213> them molten <4541> images, [even] two <8147> calves <5695>, and made <6213> a grove <0842>, and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> Baal <1168>. 17 And they caused their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121> to pass <5674> through the fire <0784>, and used divination <7081> and enchantments <5172>, and sold <4376> themselves to do <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, to provoke him to anger <3707>. 18 Therefore the LORD <3068> was very <3966> angry <0599> with Israel <3478>, and removed <5493> them out of his sight <6440>: there was none <3808> left <7604> but the tribe <7626> of Judah <3063> only <0905>. 19 Also <1571> Judah <3063> kept <8104> not the commandments <4687> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, but walked <3212> in the statutes <2708> of Israel <3478> which <0834> they made <6213>. 20 And the LORD <3068> rejected <3988> all <3605> the seed <2233> of Israel <3478>, and afflicted <6031> them, and delivered <5414> them into the hand <3027> of spoilers <8154>, until <5704> he had cast <7993> them out of his sight <6440>. 21 For he rent <7167> Israel <3478> from the house <1004> of David <1732>; and they made Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028> king <4427>: and Jeroboam <3379> drave <5071> Israel <3478> from following <0310> the LORD <3068>, and made them sin <2398> a great <1419> sin <2401>. 22 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> walked <3212> in all <3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> which <0834> he did <6213>; they departed <5493> not from them; 23 Until <5704> the LORD <3068> removed <5493> Israel <3478> out of his sight <6440>, as he had said <1696> by all <3605> his servants <5650> the prophets <5030>. So was Israel <3478> carried <1540> away <1540> out of their own land <0127> to Assyria <0804> unto this <2088> day <3117>. 24. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> brought <0935> [men] from Babylon <0894>, and from Cuthah <3575>, and from Ava <5755>, and from Hamath <2574>, and from Sepharvaim <5617>, and placed <3427> [them] in the cities <5892> of Samaria <8111> instead <8478> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and they possessed <3423> Samaria <8111>, and dwelt <3427> in the cities <5892> thereof. 25 And [so] it was at the beginning <8462> of their dwelling <3427> there <8033>, [that] they feared <3372> not the LORD <3068>: therefore the LORD <3068> sent <7971> lions <0738> among them, which slew <2026> [some] of them. 26 Wherefore they spake <0559> to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, saying <0559>, The nations <1471> which <0834> thou hast removed <1540>, and placed <3427> in the cities <5892> of Samaria <8111>, know <3045> not the manner <4941> of the God <0430> of the land <0776>: therefore he hath sent <7971> lions <0738> among them, and, behold <2009>, they slay <4191> them, because <0834> they know <3045> not the manner <4941> of the God <0430> of the land <0776>. 27 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> commanded <6680>, saying <0559>, Carry <1980> thither <8033> one <0259> of the priests <3548> whom <0834> ye brought <1540> from thence <8033>; and let them go <3212> and dwell <3427> there <8033>, and let him teach <3384> them the manner <4941> of the God <0430> of the land <0776>. 28 Then one <0259> of the priests <3548> whom <0834> they had carried <1540> away <1540> from Samaria <8111> came <0935> and dwelt <3427> in Bethel <1008>, and taught <3384> them how <0349> they should fear <3372> the LORD <3068>. 29 Howbeit every nation <1471> made <6213> gods <0430> of their own, and put <3240> [them] in the houses <1004> of the high <1116> places which <0834> the Samaritans <8118> had made <6213>, every nation <1471> in their cities <5892> wherein they dwelt <3427>. 30 And the men <0582> of Babylon <0894> made <6213> Succothbenoth <5524>, and the men <0582> of Cuth <3575> made <6213> Nergal <5370>, and the men <0582> of Hamath <2574> made <6213> Ashima <0807>, 31 And the Avites <5757> made <6213> Nibhaz <5026> and Tartak <8662>, and the Sepharvites <5616> burnt <8313> their children <1121> in fire <0784> to Adrammelech <0152> and Anammelech <6048>, the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim <5617>. 32 So they feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and made <6213> unto themselves of the lowest <7098> of them priests <3548> of the high <1116> places, which <1961> sacrificed <6213> for them in the houses <1004> of the high <1116> places. 33 They feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and served <5647> their own gods <0430>, after the manner <4941> of the nations <1471> whom <0834> they carried <1540> away <1540> from thence <8033>. 34 Unto this <2088> day <3117> they do <6213> after the former <7223> manners <4941>: they fear <3373> not the LORD <3068>, neither <0369> do <6213> they after their statutes <2708>, or after their ordinances <4941>, or after <0310> the law <8451> and commandment <4687> which <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> the children <1121> of Jacob <3290>, whom <0834> he named <8034> Israel <3478>; 35 With whom the LORD <3068> had made <3772> a covenant <1285>, and charged <6680> them, saying <0559>, Ye shall not fear <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>, nor <3808> bow <7812> yourselves to them, nor <3808> serve <5647> them, nor <3808> sacrifice <2076> to them: 36 But the LORD <3068>, who <0834> brought <5927> you up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> with great <1419> power <3581> and a stretched <5186> out arm <2220>, him shall ye fear <3372>, and him shall ye worship <7812>, and to him shall ye do sacrifice <2076>. 37 And the statutes <2706>, and the ordinances <4941>, and the law <8451>, and the commandment <4687>, which <0834> he wrote <3789> for you, ye shall observe <8104> to do <6213> for evermore; and ye shall not fear <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>. 38 And the covenant <1285> that I have made <3772> with you ye shall not forget <7911>; neither <3808> shall ye fear <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>. 39 But the LORD <3068> your God <0430> ye shall fear <3372>; and he shall deliver <5337> you out of the hand <3027> of all <3605> your enemies <0341>. 40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085>, but they did <6213> after their former <7223> manner <4941>. 41 So these <0428> nations <1471> feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and served <5647> their graven <6456> images, both <1571> their children <1121>, and their children's <1121> children <1121>: as did <6213> their fathers <1>, so do <6213> they unto this <2088> day <3117>. 2Kings 18 1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the third <7969> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> son <1121> of Elah <0425> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, [that] Hezekiah <2396> the son <1121> of Ahaz <0271> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>. 2 Twenty <6242> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> twenty <6242> and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. His mother's <0517> name <8034> also [was] Abi <21>, the daughter <1323> of Zachariah <2148>. 3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all <3605> that David <1732> his father <1> did <6213>. 4 He removed <5493> the high <1116> places, and brake <7665> the images <4676>, and cut <3772> down the groves <0842>, and brake <3807> in pieces the brasen <5178> serpent <5175> that Moses <4872> had made <6213>: for unto those <1992> days <3117> the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did burn <6999> incense <6999> to it: and he called <7121> it Nehushtan <5180>. 5 He trusted <0982> in the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>; so that after <0310> him was none <3808> like <3644> him among all <3605> the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, nor [any] that were before <6440> him. 6 For he clave <1692> to the LORD <3068>, [and] departed <5493> not from following <0310> him, but kept <8104> his commandments <4687>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses <4872>. 7 And the LORD <3068> was with him; [and] he prospered <7919> whithersoever he went <3318> forth <3318>: and he rebelled <4775> against the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and served <5647> him not. 8 He smote <5221> the Philistines <6430>, [even] unto Gaza <5804>, and the borders <1366> thereof, from the tower <4026> of the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013> city <5892>. 9. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, which <1958> [was] the seventh <7651> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> son <1121> of Elah <0425> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, [that] Shalmaneser <8022> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5957> up against <5921> Samaria <8111>, and besieged <6696> it. 10 And at the end <7097> of three <7969> years <8141> they took <3920> it: [even] in the sixth <8337> year <8141> of Hezekiah <2396>, that [is] the ninth <8672> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Samaria <8111> was taken <3920>. 11 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> did carry <1540> away <1540> Israel <3478> unto Assyria <0804>, and put <5148> them in Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river <5104> of Gozan <1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes <4074>: 12 Because they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, but transgressed <5674> his covenant <1285>, [and] all <3605> that Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, and would not hear <8085> [them], nor <3808> do <6213> [them]. 13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141> of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> did Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> come <5927> up against <5921> all <3605> the fenced <1219> cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and took <8610> them. 14 And Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> sent <7971> to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> to Lachish <3923>, saying <0559>, I have offended <2398>; return <7725> from me: that which <0834> thou puttest <5414> on <5921> me will I bear <5375>. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> appointed <7760> unto Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> three <7969> hundred <3967> talents <3603> of silver <3701> and thirty <7970> talents <3603> of gold <2091>. 15 And Hezekiah <2396> gave <5414> [him] all <3605> the silver <3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>. 16 At that time <6256> did Hezekiah <2396> cut <7112> off [the gold from] the doors <1817> of the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, and [from] the pillars <0547> which <0834> Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had overlaid <6823>, and gave <5414> it to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 17. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> sent <7971> Tartan <8661> and Rabsaris <7249> and Rabshakeh <7262> from Lachish <3923> to king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> with a great <3515> host <2426> against Jerusalem <3389>. And they went <5927> up and came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>. And when they were come <5927> up, they came <0935> and stood <5975> by the conduit <8585> of the upper <5945> pool <1295>, which <0834> [is] in the highway <4546> of the fuller's <3526> field <7704>. 18 And when they had called <7121> to the king <4428>, there came <3318> out to them Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121> of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>. 19 And Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Speak <0559> ye now <4994> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the great <1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, What <4100> confidence <0986> [is] this <2088> wherein <0834> thou trustest <0982>? 20 Thou sayest <0559>, (but [they are but] vain <8193> words <1697>,) [I have] counsel <6098> and strength <1369> for the war <4421>. Now <6258> on <5921> whom <4310> dost thou trust <0982>, that thou rebellest <4775> against me? 21 Now <6258>, behold <2009>, thou trustest <0982> upon the staff <4938> of this <2088> bruised <7533> reed <7070>, [even] upon Egypt <4714>, on <5921> which <0834> if <0834> a man <0376> lean <5564>, it will go <0935> into his hand <3709>, and pierce <5344> it: so <3651> [is] Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714> unto all <3605> that trust <0982> on <5921> him. 22 But if <3588> ye say <0559> unto me, We trust <0982> in the LORD <3068> our God <0430>: [is] not that he, whose high <1116> places and whose altars <4196> Hezekiah <2396> hath taken <5493> away <5493>, and hath said <0559> to Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389>, Ye shall worship <7812> before <6440> this <2088> altar <4196> in Jerusalem <3389>? 23 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> thee, give pledges <6148> to my lord <0113> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and I will deliver <5414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <5483>, if <0518> thou be able <3201> on thy part to set <5414> riders <7392> upon them. 24 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <7725> away the face <6440> of one <0259> captain <6346> of the least <6996> of my master's <0113> servants <5650>, and put thy trust <0982> on <5921> Egypt <4714> for chariots <7393> and for horsemen <6571>? 25 Am I now <6258> come <5927> up without <1107> the LORD <3068> against <5921> this <2088> place <4725> to destroy <7843> it? The LORD <3068> said <0559> to me, Go <5927> up against <5921> this <2063> land <0776>, and destroy <7843> it. 26 Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>, and Shebna <7644>, and Joah <3098>, unto Rabshakeh <7262>, Speak <1696>, I pray <4994> thee, to thy servants <5650> in the Syrian <0762> language; for we understand <8085> [it]: and talk <1696> not with us in the Jews <3066>' language in the ears <0241> of the people <5971> that [are] on <5921> the wall <2346>. 27 But Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Hath my master <0113> sent <7971> me to thy master <0113>, and to thee, to speak <1696> these <0428> words <1697>? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men <0582> which sit <3427> on <5921> the wall <2346>, that they may eat <0398> their own dung, and drink <8354> their own piss <7890> with you? 28 Then Rabshakeh <7262> stood <5975> and cried <7121> with a loud <1419> voice <6963> in the Jews <3066>' language, and spake <1696>, saying <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the great <1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>: 29 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, Let not Hezekiah <2396> deceive <5377> you: for he shall not be able <3201> to deliver <5337> you out of his hand <3027>: 30 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <2396> make you trust <0982> in the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will surely deliver <5337> us, and this <2063> city <5892> shall not be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 31 Hearken <8085> not to Hezekiah <2396>: for thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <6213> [an agreement] with me by a present <1293>, and come <3318> out to me, and [then] eat <0398> ye every man <0376> of his own vine <1612>, and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <8384> tree, and drink <8354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <4325> of his cistern <0953>: 32 Until <5704> I come <0935> and take <3947> you away to a land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land <0776> of corn <1715> and wine <8492>, a land <0776> of bread <3899> and vineyards <3754>, a land <0776> of oil <3323> olive <2132> and of honey <1706>, that ye may live <2421>, and not die <4191>: and hearken <8085> not unto Hezekiah <2396>, when <3588> he persuadeth <5496> you, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will deliver <5337> us. 33 Hath any <0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337> at all his land <0776> out of the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>? 34 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath <2574>, and of Arpad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim <5617>, Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>? have they delivered <5337> Samaria <8111> out of mine hand <3027>? 35 Who <4310> [are] they among all <3605> the gods <0430> of the countries <0776>, that have delivered <5337> their country <0776> out of mine hand <3027>, that the LORD <3068> should deliver <5337> Jerusalem <3389> out of mine hand <3027>? 36 But the people <5971> held <2790> their peace <2790>, and answered <6030> him not a word <1697>: for the king's <4428> commandment <4687> was, saying <0559>, Answer <6030> him not. 37 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121> of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>, to Hezekiah <2396> with [their] clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and told <5046> him the words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>. 2Kings 19 1. And it came <1961> to pass, when king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> heard <8085> [it], that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and covered <3680> himself with sackcloth <8242>, and went <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 2 And he sent <7971> Eliakim <0471>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and the elders <2205> of the priests <3548>, covered <3680> with sackcloth <8242>, to Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531>. 3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> Hezekiah <2396>, This <2088> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of trouble <6869>, and of rebuke <8433>, and blasphemy <5007>: for the children <1121> are come <0935> to the birth <4866>, and [there is] not strength <3581> to bring <3205> forth <3205>. 4 It may <0194> be the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hear <8085> all <3605> the words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath sent <7971> to reproach <2778> the living <2416> God <0430>; and will reprove <3198> the words <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> hath heard <8085>: wherefore lift <5375> up [thy] prayer <8605> for the remnant <7611> that are left <4672>. 5 So the servants <5650> of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> came <0935> to Isaiah <3470>. 6 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> to your master <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Be not afraid <3372> of the words <1697> which <0834> thou hast heard <8085>, with which <0834> the servants <5288> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed <1442> me. 7 Behold <2005>, I will send <5414> a blast <7307> upon him, and he shall hear <8085> a rumour <8052>, and shall return <7725> to his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall <5307> by the sword <2719> in his own land <0776>. 8. So Rabshakeh <7262> returned <7725>, and found <4672> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> warring <3898> against <5921> Libnah <3841>: for he had heard <8085> that he was departed <5265> from Lachish <3923>. 9 And when he heard <8085> say <0559> of Tirhakah <8640> king <4428> of Ethiopia <3568>, Behold <2009>, he is come <3318> out to fight <3898> against thee: he sent <7971> messengers <4397> again <7725> unto Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, 10 Thus <3541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430> in whom <0834> thou trustest <0982> deceive <5377> thee, saying <0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall not be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 11 Behold <2009>, thou hast heard <8085> what the kings <4428> of Assyria <0804> have done <6213> to all <3605> lands <0776>, by destroying <2763> them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered <5337>? 12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337> them which <0834> my fathers <1> have destroyed <0843>; [as] Gozan <1470>, and Haran <2771>, and Rezeph <7530>, and the children <1121> of Eden <5731> which <0834> [were] in Thelasar <8515>? 13 Where <0346> [is] the king <4428> of Hamath <2574>, and the king <4428> of Arpad <0774>, and the king <4428> of the city <5892> of Sepharvaim <5617>, of Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>? 14 And Hezekiah <2396> received <3947> the letter <5612> of the hand <3027> of the messengers <4397>, and read <7121> it: and Hezekiah <2396> went <5927> up into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and spread <6566> it before <6440> the LORD <3068>. 15 And Hezekiah <2396> prayed <6419> before <6440> the LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, which dwellest <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>, thou art the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>; thou hast made <6213> heaven <8064> and earth <0776>. 16 LORD <3068>, bow <5186> down <5186> thine ear <0241>, and hear <8085>: open <6491>, LORD <3068>, thine eyes <5869>, and see <7200>: and hear <8085> the words <1697> of Sennacherib <5576>, which <0834> hath sent <7971> him to reproach <2778> the living <2416> God <0430>. 17 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <3068>, the kings <4428> of Assyria <0804> have destroyed <2717> the nations <1471> and their lands <0776>, 18 And have cast <5414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>: for they [were] no <3808> gods <0430>, but the work <4639> of men's <0120> hands <3027>, wood <6086> and stone <68>: therefore they have destroyed <6> them. 19 Now <6258> therefore, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, I beseech <4994> thee, save <3467> thou us out of his hand <3027>, that all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776> may know <3045> that thou [art] the LORD <3068> God <0430>, [even] thou only <0905>. 20. Then Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> sent <7971> to Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, [That] which <0834> thou hast prayed <6419> to me against <0413> Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> I have heard <8085>. 21 This <2088> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> concerning <5921> him; The virgin <1330> the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> hath despised <0959> thee, [and] laughed <3932> thee to scorn; the daughter <1323> of Jerusalem <3389> hath shaken <5128> her head <7218> at thee. 22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778> and blasphemed <1442>? and against <5921> whom <4310> hast thou exalted <7311> [thy] voice <6963>, and lifted <5375> up thine eyes <5869> on high <4791>? [even] against <5921> the Holy <6918> [One] of Israel <3478>. 23 By thy messengers <4397> thou hast reproached <2778> the Lord <3068>, and hast said <0559>, With the multitude <7393> of my chariots <7393> I am come <5927> up to the height <4791> of the mountains <2022>, to the sides <3411> of Lebanon <3844>, and will cut <3772> down the tall <6967> cedar <0730> trees thereof, [and] the choice <4005> fir <1265> trees thereof: and I will enter <0935> into the lodgings <4411> of his borders <7093>, [and into] the forest <3293> of his Carmel <3760>. 24 I have digged <5365> and drunk <8354> strange <2114> waters <4325>, and with the sole <3709> of my feet <6471> have I dried <2717> up all <3605> the rivers <2975> of besieged <4693> places. 25 Hast thou not heard <8085> long <7350> ago <7350> [how] I have done <6213> it, [and] of ancient <6924> times <3117> that I have formed <3335> it? now <6258> have I brought <0935> it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582> fenced <1219> cities <5892> [into] ruinous <5327> heaps <1530>. 26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427> were of small <7116> power <3027>, they were dismayed <2865> and confounded <0954>; they were [as] the grass <6212> of the field <7704>, and [as] the green <3410> herb <1877>, [as] the grass <2682> on the housetops <1406>, and [as corn] blasted <7711> before <6440> it be grown <6965> up. 27 But I know <3045> thy abode <3427>, and thy going <3318> out, and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <7264> against <0413> me. 28 Because <3282> thy rage <7264> against <0413> me and thy tumult <7600> is come <5927> up into mine ears <0241>, therefore I will put <7760> my hook <2397> in thy nose <0639>, and my bridle <4964> in thy lips <8193>, and I will turn <7725> thee back <7725> by the way <1870> by which <0834> thou camest <0935>. 29 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye shall eat <0398> this year <8141> such things as grow <5599> of themselves, and in the second <8145> year <8141> that which springeth <7823> of the same; and in the third <7992> year <8141> sow <2232> ye, and reap <7114>, and plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and eat <0398> the fruits <6529> thereof. 30 And the remnant <7604> that is escaped <6413> of the house <1004> of Judah <3063> shall yet again <3254> take <3947> root <8328> downward <4295>, and bear <6213> fruit <6529> upward <4605>. 31 For out of Jerusalem <3389> shall go <3318> forth <3318> a remnant <7611>, and they that escape <6413> out of mount <2022> Zion <6726>: the zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> [of hosts] shall do <6213> this <2063>. 32 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <0413> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, He shall not come <0935> into <0413> this city <5892>, nor <3808> shoot <3384> an arrow <2671> there <8033>, nor <3808> come <6923> before <6924> it with shield <4043>, nor cast <8210> a bank <5550> against <5921> it. 33 By the way <1870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he return <7725>, and shall not come <0935> into <0413> this <2063> city <5892>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 34 For I will defend <1598> this <2063> city <5892>, to save <3467> it, for mine own sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650> David's <1732> sake <4616>. 35. And it came <1961> to pass that night <3915>, that the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> went <3318> out, and smote <5221> in the camp <4264> of the Assyrians <0804> an hundred <3967> fourscore <8084> and five <2568> thousand <0505>: and when they arose <7925> early <7925> in the morning <1242>, behold <2009>, they [were] all <3605> dead <4191> corpses <6297>. 36 So Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> departed <5265>, and went <3212> and returned <7725>, and dwelt <3427> at Nineveh <5210>. 37 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was worshipping <7812> in the house <1004> of Nisroch <5268> his god <0430>, that Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <8272> his sons <1121> smote <5221> him with the sword <2719>: and they escaped <4422> into the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>. And Esarhaddon <0634> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 20 1. In those <1992> days <3117> was Hezekiah <2396> sick <2470> unto death <4191>. And the prophet <5030> Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> to him, and said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Set thine house <1004> in order <6680>; for thou shalt die <4191>, and not live <2421>. 2 Then he turned <5437> his face <6440> to the wall <7023>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 3 I beseech <0577> thee, O LORD <3068>, remember <2142> now <4994> how <0834> I have walked <1980> before <6440> thee in truth <0571> and with a perfect <8003> heart <3824>, and have done <6213> [that which is] good <2896> in thy sight <5869>. And Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058> sore <1419>. 4 And it came <1961> to pass, afore <3808> Isaiah <3470> was gone <3318> out into the middle <8484> court <5892>, that the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to him, saying <0559>, 5 Turn <7725> again <7725>, and tell <0559> Hezekiah <2396> the captain <5057> of my people <5971>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of David <1732> thy father <1>, I have heard <8085> thy prayer <8605>, I have seen <7200> thy tears <1832>: behold <2005>, I will heal <7495> thee: on the third <7992> day <3117> thou shalt go <5927> up unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 6 And I will add <3254> unto thy days <3117> fifteen <6240> years <8141>; and I will deliver <5337> thee and this <2063> city <5892> out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>; and I will defend <1598> this city <5892> for mine own sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650> David's <1732> sake <4616>. 7 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, Take <3947> a lump <1690> of figs <8384>. And they took <3947> and laid <7760> [it] on <5921> the boil <7822>, and he recovered <2421>. 8 And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559> unto Isaiah <3470>, What <4100> [shall be] the sign <0226> that the LORD <3068> will heal <7495> me, and that I shall go <5927> up into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> the third <7992> day <3117>? 9 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, This <2088> sign <0226> shalt thou have of the LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do <6213> the thing that he hath spoken <1696>: shall the shadow <6738> go <1980> forward ten <6235> degrees <4609>, or go <7725> back <7725> ten <6235> degrees <4609>? 10 And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, It is a light <7043> thing for the shadow <6738> to go <5186> down <5186> ten <6235> degrees <4609>: nay <3808>, but let the shadow <6738> return <7725> backward <0322> ten <6235> degrees <4609>. 11 And Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> cried <7121> unto the LORD <3068>: and he brought <7725> the shadow <6738> ten <6235> degrees <4609> backward <0322>, by which <0834> it had gone <3381> down <3381> in the dial <4609> of Ahaz <0271>. 12. At that time <6256> Berodachbaladan <1255>, the son <1121> of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, sent <7971> letters <5612> and a present <4503> unto Hezekiah <2396>: for he had heard <8085> that Hezekiah <2396> had been <1961> sick <2470>. 13 And Hezekiah <2396> hearkened <8085> unto them, and shewed <7200> them all <3605> the house <1004> of his precious <5238> things, the silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices <1314>, and the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and [all <3605>] the house <1004> of his armour <3627>, and all <3605> that was found <4672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing in his house <1004>, nor in all <3605> his dominion <4475>, that Hezekiah <2396> shewed <7200> them not. 14 Then came <0935> Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> unto king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <4100> said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came <0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559>, They are come <0935> from a far <7350> country <0776>, [even] from Babylon <0894>. 15 And he said <0559>, What <4100> have they seen <7200> in thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, All <3605> [the things] that [are] in mine house <1004> have they seen <7200>: there is nothing <1697> among my treasures <0214> that I have not shewed <7200> them. 16 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto Hezekiah <2396>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 17 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that all <3605> that [is] in thine house <1004>, and that which <0834> thy fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686> unto this <2088> day <3117>, shall be carried <5375> into Babylon <0894>: nothing shall be left <3498>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>. 18 And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318> from thee, which <0834> thou shalt beget <3205>, shall they take <3947> away; and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace <1964> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 19 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <2396> unto Isaiah <3470>, Good <2896> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> thou hast spoken <1696>. And he said <0559>, [Is it] not [good], if <0518> peace <7965> and truth <0571> be in my days <3117>? 20 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Hezekiah <2396>, and all <3605> his might <1369>, and how <0834> he made <6213> a pool <1295>, and a conduit <8585>, and brought <0935> water <4325> into the city <5892>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>? 21 And Hezekiah <2396> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>: and Manasseh <4519> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>. 2Kings 21 1. Manasseh <4519> [was] twelve years <8141> old <1121> when he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> fifty <2572> and five <2568> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Hephzibah <2657>. 2 And he did <6213> [that which <0834> was] evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, after the abominations <8441> of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast <3423> out before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>. 3 For he built <1129> up again <7725> the high <1116> places which <0834> Hezekiah <2396> his father <1> had destroyed <6>; and he reared <6965> up altars <4196> for Baal <1168>, and made <6213> a grove <0842>, as did <6213> Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478>; and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> them. 4 And he built <1129> altars <4196> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, of which <0834> the LORD <3068> said <0559>, In Jerusalem <3389> will I put <7760> my name <8034>. 5 And he built <1129> altars <4196> for all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064> in the two <8147> courts <2691 ~~~~~~
