1Kings 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

> the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin <1330

b@thuwlah >: and let her stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym

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

and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436 cheyq >, that

my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > may get heat <2552

chamam >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<3303 yapheh >, and cherished <5532 cakan > the king <4428 melek

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

melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not.

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

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

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

<6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571

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

run <7323 ruwts > before <6440 paniym > him.

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

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

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

also <1571 gam > [was a] very <3966 m@<od > goodly <2896 towb >

[man]; and [his mother] bare him after <0310 >achar > Absalom

<53>.

7 And he conferred with Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben >

of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah >, and with Abiathar <54> the priest

<3548 kohen >: and they following <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138

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

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

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

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

and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >, and Rei <7472 Re<iy >, and the

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

David <1732 David >, were not with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah >.

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

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

cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth, which <0834

>aher > [is] by Enrogel <5883 <Eyn Rogel >, and called <7121

qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach > the king's

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

<0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king's <4428 melek

> servants <5650 <ebed >:

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

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

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach >, he called

<7121 qara> > not.

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

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

<8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Hast thou not heard

<8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben

> of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > doth reign <4427 malak >, and

David <1732 David > our lord <0113 >adown > knoweth <3045 yada<

> [it] not?

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

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

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

and the life <5315 nephesh > of thy son <1121 ben > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh >.

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

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

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

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

saying <0559 >amar >, Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010

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

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

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

<0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak >?

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

<1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428 melek >, I

also will come <0935 bow> > in after <0310 >achar > thee, and

confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar >.

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

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

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

Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > ministered

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

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

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

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

wouldest thou?

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

thou swarest <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God

<0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah >, [saying],

Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben

> shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310 >achar > me, and he

shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> >.

18 And now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, Adonijah

<0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak >; and now, my lord <0113

>adown > the king <4428 melek >, thou knowest <3045 yada< > [it]

not:

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

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

abundance <7230 rob >, and hath called <7121 qara> > all <3605

kol > the sons <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek >, and

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

the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >: but Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he not called

<7121 qara> >.

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

eyes <5869 <ayin > of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

[are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell <5046 nagad > them who

<4310 miy > shall sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne

<3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >

after <0310 >achar > him.

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

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

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

<8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders <2400 chatta> >.

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

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

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

23 And they told <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek >, saying

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

prophet <5030 nabiy> >. And when he was come <0935 bow> > in

before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >, he bowed <7812

shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >

with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776 >erets >.

24 And Nathan <5416 Nathan > said <0559 >amar >, My lord <0113

>adown >, O king <4428 melek >, hast thou said <0559 >amar >,

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310

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

<3678 kicce> >?

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

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

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

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

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

the captains <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >, and

Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen >; and, behold <2009 hinneh

>, they eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > before <6440

paniym > him, and say <0559 >amar >, God save <2421 chayah >

king <4428 melek > Adonijah.

26 But me, [even] me thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and Zadok <6659

Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen >, and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah >

the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< >, and thy

servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, hath he not

called <7121 qara> >.

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

<0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, and thou hast not shewed

<3045 yada< > [it] unto thy servant <5650 <ebed >, who <4310 miy

> should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678 kicce> > of my

lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar >

him?

28 Then king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > answered <6030

<anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Call <7121 qara> > me Bathsheba

<1339 Bath-Sheba< >. And she came <0935 bow> > into the king's

<4428 melek > presence <6440 paniym >, and stood <5975 <amad >

before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.

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

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

that hath redeemed <6299 padah > my soul <5315 nephesh > out of

all <3605 kol > distress <6869 tsarah >,

30 Even <3588 kiy > as I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee by the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak >

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

throne <3678 kicce> > in my stead <8478 tachath >; even <3588

kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 <asah > this

<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

31 Then Bathsheba <1339 Bath-Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > with

[her] face <0639 >aph > to the earth <0776 >erets >, and did

reverence <7812 shachah > to the king <4428 melek >, and said

<0559 >amar >, Let my lord <0113 >adown > king <4428 melek >

David <1732 David > live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 <owlam >.

32. And king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > said <0559 >amar

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

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

<3111 Yowyada< >. And they came <0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym

33 The king <4428 melek > also said <0559 >amar > unto them,

Take <3947 laqach > with you the servants <5650 <ebed > of your

lord <0113 >adown >, and cause Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > my son

<1121 ben > to ride <7392 rakab > upon mine own mule <6506

pirdah >, and bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > to

Gihon <1521 Giychown >:

34 And let Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and

Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > anoint <4886

mashach > him there <8033 sham > king <4428 melek > over <5921

<al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and blow <8628 taqa< > ye with

the trumpet <7782 showphar >, and say <0559 >amar >, God save

<2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

35 Then ye shall come <5927 <alah > up after <0310 >achar > him,

that he may come <0935 bow> > and sit <3427 yashab > upon my

throne <3678 kicce> >; for he shall be king <4427 malak > in my

stead <8478 tachath >: and I have appointed <6680 tsavah > him

to be ruler <5057 nagiyd > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478

Yisra>el > and over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

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

<3111 Yowyada< > answered <6030 <anah > the king <4428 melek >,

and said <0559 >amar >, Amen <0543 >amen >: the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of my lord <0113 >adown > the

king <4428 melek > say <0559 >amar > so <3651 ken > [too].

37 As the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been <1961 hayah > with my

lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, even so <3651 ken >

be he with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and make his throne <3678

kicce> > greater than the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113

>adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David >.

38 So Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen >, and

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

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

and the Cherethites <3746 kariy >, and the Pelethites <6432

P@lethiy >, went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >, and caused

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > to ride <7392 rakab > upon king <4428

melek > David's <1732 David > mule <6506 pirdah >, and brought

<3212 yalak > him to Gihon <1521 Giychown >.

39 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > took

<3947 laqach > an horn <7161 qeren > of oil <8081 shemen > out

of the tabernacle <0168 >ohel >, and anointed <4886 mashach >

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >. And they blew <8628 taqa< > the

trumpet <7782 showphar >; and all <3605 kol > the people <5971

<am > said <0559 >amar >, God save <2421 chayah > king <4428

melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

40 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5927 <alah

<2490 chalal > with pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and rejoiced <8056

sameach > with great <1419 gadowl > joy <8057 simchah >, so that

the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< > with the sound <6963

qowl > of them.

41. And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > and all <3605 kol > the

guests <7121 qara> > that [were] with him heard <8085 shama< >

[it] as they had made an end <3615 kalah > of eating <0398 >akal

<6963 qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar >, he said <0559

>amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > [is this] noise <6963 qowl >

of the city <7151 qiryah > being in an uproar <1993 hamah >?

42 And while he yet <5750 <owd > spake <1696 dabar >, behold

<2009 hinneh >, Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the son <1121 ben >

of Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > came <0935 bow> >: and

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Come

<0935 bow> > in; for thou [art] a valiant <2428 chayil > man

<0376 >iysh >, and bringest <1319 basar > good <2896 towb >

tidings <1319 basar >.

43 And Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > answered <6030 <anah > and

said <0559 >amar > to Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah >, Verily <61>

our lord <0113 >adown > king <4427 malak > David <1732 David >

hath made Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > king <4427 malak >.

44 And the king <4428 melek > hath sent <7971 shalach > with

him Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen >, and Nathan

<5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and Benaiah <1141

B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< >, and

the Cherethites <3774 K@rethiy >, and the Pelethites <6432

P@lethiy >, and they have caused him to ride <7392 rakab > upon

the king's <4428 melek > mule <6506 pirdah >:

45 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and

Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > have anointed

<4886 mashach > him king <4428 melek > in Gihon <1521 Giychown >:

and they are come <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham >

rejoicing <8056 sameach >, so that the city <7151 qiryah > rang

<1949 huwm > again. This <1931 huw> > [is] the noise <6963 qowl

46 And also <1571 gam > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sitteth <3427

yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the kingdom

<4410 m@luwkah >.

47 And moreover <1571 gam > the king's <4428 melek > servants

<5650 <ebed > came <0935 bow> > to bless <1288 barak > our lord

<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David >, saying

<0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > make the name <8034 shem >

of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > better <3190 yatab > than thy name

<8034 shem >, and make his throne <3678 kicce> > greater than

thy throne <3678 kicce> >. And the king <4428 melek > bowed

<7812 shachah > himself upon the bed <4904 mishkab >.

48 And also <1571 gam > thus <3602 kakah > said <0559 >amar >

the king <4428 melek >, Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the LORD

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

which <0834 >aher > hath given <5414 nathan > [one] to sit <3427

yashab > on <5921 <al > my throne <3678 kicce> > this day <3117

yowm >, mine eyes <5869 <ayin > even seeing <7200 ra>ah > [it].

49 And all <3605 kol > the guests <7121 qara> > that [were]

with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > were afraid <2729 charad >, and

rose <6965 quwm > up, and went <3212 yalak > every man <0376

>iysh > his way <1870 derek >.

50 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > feared <3372 yare> > because

<6440 paniym > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and arose <6965 quwm

chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach

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

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

>Adoniyah > feareth <3372 yare> > king <4428 melek > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh >: for, lo <2009 hinneh >, he hath caught <0270

52 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar >, If <0518

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

from the altar <4196 mizbeach >. And he came <7126 qarab > and

1Kings 2

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

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

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

saying <0559 >amar >,

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

the earth <0776 >erets >: be thou strong <2388 chazaq >

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

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

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, to walk <3212

statutes <2708 chuqqah >, and his commandments <4687 mitsvah >,

and his judgments <4941 mishpat >, and his testimonies <5715>,

as it is written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of

Moses <4872 Mosheh >, that thou mayest prosper <7919 sakal > in

all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213 <asah >, and whithersoever

thou turnest <6437 panah > thyself:

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

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

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

thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their way

<1870 derek >, to walk <3212 yalak > before <6440 paniym > me in

truth <0571 >emeth > with all <3605 kol > their heart <3824

there shall not fail <3772 karath > thee (said he) a man <0376

Yisra>el >.

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

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

<6870 Ts@ruwyah > did <6213 <asah > to me, [and] what <0834

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

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

<3500 Yether >, whom he slew <2026 harag >, and shed <7760 suwm

shalowm >, and put <5414 nathan > the blood <1818 dam > of war

<4421 milchamah > upon his girdle <2290 chagowr > that [was]

about his loins <4975 mothen >, and in his shoes <5275 na<al >

that [were] on his feet <7272 regel >.

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

chokmah >, and let not his hoar <7872 seybah > head go <3381

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

<7965 shalowm >.

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

<1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite <1569

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

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

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

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

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

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

which <1931 huw> > cursed <7043 qalal > me with a grievous <4834

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

went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim >: but he came

<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet <7125 qir>ah > me at

Jordan <3383 Yarden >, and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him by the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >, I will not put thee

to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb >.

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

naqah >: for thou [art] a wise <2450 chakam > man <0376 >iysh >,

and knowest <3045 yada< > what thou oughtest to do <6213 <asah >

unto him; but his hoar <7872 seybah > head bring <3381 yarad >

thou down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > with blood

<1818 dam >.

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

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

David <1732 David >.

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

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

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

Chebrown >, and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and three <7969

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

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

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

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

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

greatly <3966 m@<od >.

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

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

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

And she said <0559 >amar >, Comest <0935 bow> > thou peaceably

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

shalowm >.

14 He said <0559 >amar > moreover, I have somewhat to say <1697

dabar > unto thee. And she said <0559 >amar >, Say <1696 dabar >

on.

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

the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine, and [that] all <3605 kol

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

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

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

<0251 >ach >: for it was his from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

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

And she said <0559 >amar > unto him, Say <1696 dabar > on.

17 And he said <0559 >amar >, Speak <0559 >amar >, I pray <4994

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

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

<5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth

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

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

<4428 melek >.

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

unto king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, to speak <1696

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

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

and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her, and sat <3427 yashab

seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the king's <4428

melek > mother <0517 >em >; and she sat <3427 yashab > on his

right <3225 yamiyn > hand.

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

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

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

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

<7592 sha>al > on, my mother <0517 >em >: for I will not say

<0559 >amar > thee nay.

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

<7767 Shuwnammiyth > be given <5414 nathan > to Adonijah <0138

>Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife <0802 >ishshah >.

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

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

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

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

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

for him, and for Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen >, and for

Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah <6870

Ts@ruwyah >.

23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware <7650

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

<0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah > so to me, and more <3254

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

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

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

24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, [as] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

liveth <2416 chay >, which <0834 >aher > hath established <3559

kuwn > me, and set <3427 yashab > me on <5921 <al > the throne

<3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > my father <1>, and who

<0834 >aher > hath made <6213 <asah > me an house <1004 bayith >,

as he promised <1696 dabar >, Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall

be put to death <4191 muwth > this day <3117 yowm >.

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

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

son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< >; and he fell <6293

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

26. And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said <0559

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

Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, unto thine own fields <7704 sadeh >;

for thou [art] worthy <0376 >iysh > of death <4194 maveth >:

but I will not at this <2088 zeh > time <3117 yowm > put thee to

death <4191 muwth >, because <3588 kiy > thou barest <5375 nasa>

Y@hovih > before <6440 paniym > David <1732 David > my father

<1>, and because <3588 kiy > thou hast been afflicted <6031

<anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834 >aher > my father <1>

was afflicted <6031 <anah >.

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

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

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

word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834

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

<1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >.

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

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

after <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah >, though he

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

Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle <0168

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

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

<4196 mizbeach >.

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

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

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

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

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

saying <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, fall <6293 paga< > upon

him.

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

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

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

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

And he said <0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but I will die <4191

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

<7725 shuwb > the king <4428 melek > word <1697 dabar > again

<7725 shuwb >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > said <1696

dabar > Joab <3097 Yow>ab >, and thus <3541 koh > he answered

<6030 <anah > me.

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

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

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

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

blood <1818 dam >, which <0834 >aher > Joab <3097 Yow>ab > shed

<8210 shaphak >, from me, and from the house <1004 bayith > of

my father <1>.

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

blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh >, who <4310 miy

he, and slew <2026 harag > them with the sword <2719 chereb >,

my father <1> David <1732 David > not knowing <3045 yada< >

[thereof, to wit], Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369

Ner >, captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, and Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben >

of Jether <3500 Yether >, captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635

tsaba> > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

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

upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of Joab <3097 Yow>ab >, and upon the

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

<owlam >: but upon David <1732 David >, and upon his seed <2233

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

<3678 kicce> >, shall there be peace <7965 shalowm > for ever

<5769 <owlam > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

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

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

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

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

midbar >.

35. And the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > Benaiah <1141

B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > in

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

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

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

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

unto him, Build <1129 banah > thee an house <1004 bayith > in

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and dwell <3427 yashab > there

<8033 sham >, and go <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> >

thence <8033 sham > any whither <0575 >an >.

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

the brook <5158 nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown >, thou shalt know

<3045 yada< > for certain <3045 yada< > that thou shalt surely

die <4191 muwth >: thy blood <1818 dam > shall be upon thine own

head <7218 ro>sh >.

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

<4428 melek >, The saying <1697 dabar > [is] good <2896 towb >:

as my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm

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

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

sh@nayim > of the servants <5650 <ebed > of Shimei <8096 Shim<iy

<1661 Gath >. And they told <5046 nagad > Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thy servants <5650

<ebed > [be] in Gath <1661 Gath >.

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

<2280 chabash > his ass <2543 chamowr >, and went <3212 yalak >

to Gath <1661 Gath > to Achish <0397 >Akiysh > to seek <1245

baqash > his servants <5650 <ebed >: and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >

went <3212 yalak >, and brought <0935 bow> > his servants <5650

<ebed > from Gath <1661 Gath >.

41 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > that

Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > had gone <1980 halak > from Jerusalem

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Gath <1661 Gath >, and was come <7725

shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >.

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

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

unto him, Did I not make thee to swear <7650 shaba< > by the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and protested <5749 <uwd > unto thee,

saying <0559 >amar >, Know <3045 yada< > for a certain <3045

43 Why <4100 mah > then hast thou not kept <8104 shamar > the

oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the

commandment <4687 mitsvah > that I have charged <6680 tsavah >

thee with?

44 The king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > moreover to Shimei

<8096 Shim<iy >, Thou knowest <3045 yada< > all <3605 kol > the

46 So the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > Benaiah

which went <3318 yatsa> > out, and fell <6293 paga< > upon him,

established <3559 kuwn > in the hand <3027 yad > of Solomon

1Kings 3

1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made affinity <2859 chathan >

with Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim >, and took <3947 laqach > Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh >

daughter <1323 bath >, and brought <0935 bow> > her into <0413

his own house <1004 bayith >, and the house <1004 bayith > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the wall <2346 chowmah > of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > about.

2 Only <7535 raq > the people <5971 <am > sacrificed <2076

zabach > in high <1116 bamah > places, because <3588 kiy > there

was no <3808 lo> > house <1004 bayith > built <1129 banah > unto

the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, until <5704

chuqqah > of David <1732 David > his father <1>: only <7535 raq

<6999 qatar > in high <1116 bamah > places.

4 And the king <4428 melek > went <3212 yalak > to Gibeon <1391

Gib<own > to sacrifice <2076 zabach > there <8033 sham >; for

that [was] the great <1419 gadowl > high <1116 bamah > place: a

thousand <0505 >eleph > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings did

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer <5927 <alah > upon that altar

<4196 mizbeach >.

5. In Gibeon <1391 Gib<own > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > appeared

<7200 ra>ah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in a dream <2472

chalowm > by night <3915 layil >: and God <0430 >elohiym > said

<0559 >amar >, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall give

<5414 nathan > thee.

6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar >, Thou hast

shewed <6213 <asah > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732

David > my father <1> great <1419 gadowl > mercy <2617 checed >,

according as he walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee

in truth <0571 >emeth >, and in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >,

and in uprightness <3483 yishrah > of heart <3824 lebab > with

thee; and thou hast kept <8104 shamar > for him this <2088 zeh >

great <1419 gadowl > kindness <2617 checed >, that thou hast

given <5414 nathan > him a son <1121 ben > to sit <3427 yashab >

on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> >, as [it is] this <2088

zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

7 And now <6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430

malak > instead <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David > my father

I know <3045 yada< > not [how] to go <3318 yatsa> > out or come

8 And thy servant <5650 <ebed > [is] in the midst <8432 tavek >

of thy people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher > thou hast chosen

<0977 bachar >, a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am >, that

cannot <3808 lo> > be numbered <4487 manah > nor counted <5608

caphar > for multitude <7230 rob >.

9 Give <5414 nathan > therefore thy servant <5650 <ebed > an

understanding <8085 shama< > heart <3820 leb > to judge <8199

10 And the speech <1697 dabar > pleased the Lord <0136 >Adonay

<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.

11 And God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast asked <7592 sha>al > this <2088

zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, and hast not asked <7592 sha>al > for

<7592 sha>al > for thyself understanding <0995 biyn > to discern

<8085 shama< > judgment <4941 mishpat >;

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

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

<5414 nathan > thee a wise <2450 chakam > and an understanding

after <0310 >achar > thee shall any arise <6965 quwm > like

<3644 k@mow > unto thee.

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

which <0834 >aher > thou hast not asked <7592 sha>al >, both

<1571 gam > riches <6239 <osher >, and honour <3519 kabowd >: so

that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings <4428

melek > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee all <3605 kol > thy days

<3117 yowm >.

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

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

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

<1732 David > did walk <1980 halak >, then I will lengthen <0748

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

behold <2009 hinneh >, [it was] a dream <2472 chalowm >. And he

came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and stood

<5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the ark <0727 >arown > of

the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and

offered <5927 <alah > up burnt <5930 <olah > offerings, and

offered <6213 <asah > peace <8002 shelem > offerings, and made

<6213 <asah > a feast <4960 mishteh > to all <3605 kol > his

servants <5650 <ebed >.

16. Then <0227 >az > came <0935 bow> > there two <8147 sh@nayim

unto the king <4428 melek >, and stood <5975 <amad > before

<6440 paniym > him.

17 And the one <0259 >echad > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559

woman <0802 >ishshah > dwell <3427 yashab > in one <0259 >echad

child <3205 yalad > with her in the house <1004 bayith >.

18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

that this <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > was delivered

yachad >; [there was] no <0369 >ayin > stranger <2114 zuwr >

with us in the house <1004 bayith >, save <2108 zuwlah > we two

<8147 sh@nayim > in the house <1004 bayith >.

19 And this <2063 zo>th > woman's <0802 >ishshah > child <1121

ben > died <4191 muwth > in the night <3915 layil >; because

<0834 >aher > she overlaid <7901 shakab > it.

20 And she arose <6965 quwm > at midnight, and took <3947

laqach > my son <1121 ben > from beside <0681 >etsel > me, while

thine handmaid <0519 >amah > slept <3463 yashen >, and laid

<7901 shakab > it in her bosom <2436 cheyq >, and laid <7901

shakab > her dead <4191 muwth > child <1121 ben > in my bosom

<2436 cheyq >.

21 And when I rose <6965 quwm > in the morning <1242 boqer > to

give my child <1121 ben > suck <3243 yanaq >, behold <2009

hinneh >, it was dead <4191 muwth >: but when I had considered

<0995 biyn > it in the morning <1242 boqer >, behold <2009

hinneh >, it was not my son <1121 ben >, which <0834 >aher > I

did bear <3205 yalad >.

22 And the other <0312 >acher > woman <0802 >ishshah > said

<0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but the living <2416 chay > [is]

my son <1121 ben >, and the dead <4191 muwth > [is] thy son

<1121 ben >. And this <2063 zo>th > said <0559 >amar >, No <3808

the living <2416 chay > [is] my son <1121 ben >. Thus they spake

<1696 dabar > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.

23 Then said <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, The one

<2063 zo>th > saith <0559 >amar >, This <2063 zo>th > [is] my

son <1121 ben > that liveth <2416 chay >, and thy son <1121 ben

<0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but thy son <1121 ben > [is] the

dead <4191 muwth >, and my son <1121 ben > [is] the living <2416

chay >.

24 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Bring <3947

laqach > me a sword <2719 chereb >. And they brought <0935 bow>

25 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Divide <1504

gazar > the living <2416 chay > child <3206 yeled > in two <8147

sh@nayim >, and give <5414 nathan > half <2677 chetsiy > to the

one <0259 >echad >, and half <2677 chetsiy > to the other <0259

26 Then spake <0559 >amar > the woman <0802 >ishshah > whose

<0834 >aher > the living <2416 chay > child <1121 ben > [was]

unto the king <4428 melek >, for her bowels <7358 rechem >

yearned <3648 kamar > upon her son <1121 ben >, and she said

<0559 >amar >, O my lord <0113 >adown >, give <5414 nathan > her

the living <2416 chay > child <3205 yalad >, and in no <0408 >al

<0559 >amar >, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide

<1504 gazar > [it].

27 Then the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar >, Give <5414 nathan > her the living <2416 chay >

child <3205 yalad >, and in no <3808 lo> > wise slay <4191 muwth

28 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > heard <8085

shama< > of the judgment <4941 mishpat > which <0834 >aher > the

king <4428 melek > had judged <8199 shaphat >; and they feared

1Kings 5

1. And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > king <4428 melek > of Tyre <6865

Tsor > sent <7971 shalach > his servants <5650 <ebed > unto

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >; for he had <1961 hayah > heard <8085

shama< > that they had <1961 hayah > anointed <4886 mashach >

him king <4428 melek > in the room <8478 tachath > of his father

<1>: for Hiram <2438 Chiyram > was ever a lover <0157 >ahab > of

David <1732 David >.

2 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > to Hiram

<2438 Chiyram >, saying <0559 >amar >,

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

father <1> could <3201 yakol > not build <1129 banah > an house

<1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > for the wars <4421 milchamah

put <5414 nathan > them under <8478 tachath > the soles <3709

kaph > of his feet <7272 regel >.

4 But now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430

5 And, behold <2005 hen >, I purpose <0559 >amar > to build

<1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym >, as the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > unto David <1732 David > my

father <1>, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy son <1121 ben >, whom

<0834 >aher > I will set <5414 nathan > upon thy throne <3678

6 Now <6258 <attah > therefore command <6680 tsavah > thou that

they hew <3772 karath > me cedar <0730 >erez > trees out of

Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; and my servants <5650 <ebed > shall be

with thy servants <5650 <ebed >: and unto thee will I give <5414

nathan > hire <7939 sakar > for thy servants <5650 <ebed >

according to all <3605 kol > that thou shalt appoint <0559 >amar

any <0376 >iysh > that can skill <3045 yada< > to hew <3772

karath > timber <6086 <ets > like unto the Sidonians <6722

Tsiydoniy >.

7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Hiram <2438 Chiyram >

heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010

Sh@lomoh >, that he rejoiced <8055 samach > greatly <3966 m@<od

<3068 Y@hovah > this day <3117 yowm >, which <0834 >aher > hath

given <5414 nathan > unto David <1732 David > a wise <2450

chakam > son <1121 ben > over <5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > great

<7227 rab > people <5971 <am >.

8 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying <0559 >amar >, I have considered <8085

shama< > the things which <0834 >aher > thou sentest <7971

shalach > to me for: [and] I will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol

cedar <0730 >erez >, and concerning timber <6086 <ets > of fir

<1265 b@rowsh >.

9 My servants <5650 <ebed > shall bring <3381 yarad > [them]

down <3381 yarad > from Lebanon <3844 L@banown > unto the sea

<3220 yam >: and I will convey <7760 suwm > them by sea <3220

yam > in floats <1702 dob@rah > unto the place <4725 maqowm >

that thou shalt appoint <7971 shalach > me, and will cause them

to be discharged <5310 naphats > there <8033 sham >, and thou

shalt receive <5375 nasa> > [them]: and thou shalt accomplish

<6213 <asah > my desire <2656 chephets >, in giving <5414 nathan

10. So Hiram <2438 Chiyram > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon <8010

Sh@lomoh > cedar <0730 >erez > trees <6086 <ets > and fir <1265

b@rowsh > trees <6086 <ets > [according to] all <3605 kol > his

desire <2656 chephets >.

11 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan > Hiram <2438

Chiyram > twenty <6242 <esriym > thousand <0505 >eleph >

measures <3734 kor > of wheat <2406 chittah > [for] food <4361

makkoleth > to his household <1004 bayith >, and twenty <6242

<esriym > measures <3734 kor > of pure <3795 kathiyth > oil

<8081 shemen >: thus <3541 koh > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > to Hiram <2438 Chiyram > year <8141 shaneh > by

year <8141 shaneh >.

12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > wisdom <2451 chokmah >, as he promised <1696

dabar > him: and there was peace <7965 shalowm > between <0996

beyn > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >; and

they two <8147 sh@nayim > made <3772 karath > a league <1285

b@riyth > together.

13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927

<alah > a levy <4522 mac > out of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478

Yisra>el >; and the levy <4522 mac > was thirty <7970

sh@lowshiym > thousand <0505 >eleph > men <0376 >iysh >.

14 And he sent <7971 shalach > them to Lebanon <3844 L@banown >,

ten <6235 <eser > thousand <0505 >eleph > a month <2320 chodesh

months <2320 chodesh > at home <1004 bayith >: and Adoniram

<0141 >Adoniyram > [was] over <5921 <al > the levy <4522 mac >.

15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah > threescore

<5375 nasa> > burdens <5449 cabbal >, and fourscore <8084

16 Beside <0905 bad > the chief <8269 sar > of Solomon's <8010

<3967 me>ah >, which ruled <7287 radah > over the people <5971

<am > that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah >.

17 And the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >, and

they brought <5265 naca< > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68>,

costly <3368 yaqar > stones <68>, [and] hewed <1496 gaziyth >

stones <68>, to lay the foundation <3245 yacad > of the house

<1004 bayith >.

18 And Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > builders <1129 banah > and

Hiram's <2438 Chiyram > builders <1129 banah > did hew <6458

pacal > [them], and the stonesquarers <1382 Gibliy >: so they

prepared <3559 kuwn > timber <6086 <ets > and stones <68> to

build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >.

1Kings 6

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the four <0702 >arba< >

hundred <3967 me>ah > and eightieth <8084 sh@moniym > year <8141

<1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

2 And the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > king <4428

melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > for the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was]

threescore <8346 shishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the

and the height <6967 qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym >

3 And the porch <0197 >uwlam > before the temple <1964 heykal >

of the house <1004 bayith >, twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520

the breadth <7341 rochab > of the house <1004 bayith >; [and]

ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the breadth <7341

4 And for the house <1004 bayith > he made <6213 <asah >

windows <2474 challown > of narrow <0331 >atam > lights <8261

shaquph >.

5 And against <5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > of the house

<1004 bayith > he built <1129 banah > chambers <3326 yatsuwa< >

round <5439 cabiyb > about, [against] the walls <7023 qiyr > of

the house <1004 bayith > round <5439 cabiyb > about, [both] of

the temple <1964 heykal > and of the oracle <1687 d@biyr >: and

he made <6213 <asah > chambers <6763 tsela< > round <5439 cabiyb

6 The nethermost <8481 tachtown > chamber <3326 yatsuwa< >

[was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > broad <7341

beams] should not be fastened <0270 >achaz > in the walls <7023

qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith >.

7 And the house <1004 bayith >, when it was in building <1129

banah >, was built <1129 banah > of stone <68> made ready <8003

shalem > before <4551 macca< > it was brought <4551 macca< >

<3627 k@liy > of iron <1270 barzel > heard <8085 shama< > in the

house <1004 bayith >, while it was in building <1129 banah >.

8 The door <6907 qubba<ath > for the middle <8484 tiykown >

chamber <6763 tsela< > [was] in the right <3233 y@maniy > side

<3802 katheph > of the house <1004 bayith >: and they went <5927

middle <8484 tiykown > into <0413 >el > the third <7992

9 So he built <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >, and

finished <3615 kalah > it; and covered <5603 caphan > the house

<1004 bayith > with beams <1356 geb > and boards <7713 s@derah >

of cedar <0730 >erez >.

10 And [then] he built <1129 banah > chambers <3326 yatsuwa< >

against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith >,

five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah >:

and they rested <0270 >achaz > on the house <1004 bayith >

[with] timber <6086 <ets > of cedar <0730 >erez >.

11. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying <0559 >amar >,

12 [Concerning] this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > which

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and will not

forsake <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478

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

<1004 bayith >, and finished <3615 kalah > it.

15. And he built <1129 banah > the walls <7023 qiyr > of the

house <1004 bayith > within <1004 bayith > with boards <6763

tsela< > of cedar <0730 >erez >, both the floor <7172 qarqa< >

16 And he built <1129 banah > twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits

bayith >, both the floor <7172 qarqa< > and the walls <7023 qiyr

17 And the house <1004 bayith >, that [is], the temple <1964

cubits <0520 >ammah > [long].

18 And the cedar <0730 >erez > of the house <1004 bayith >

nathan > there <8033 sham > the ark <0727 >arown > of the

20 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > in the forepart <6440 paniym >

[was] twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 >ammah > in length

overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with pure <5462 cagar > gold <2091

zahab >; and [so] covered <6823 tsaphah > the altar <4196

mizbeach > [which was of] cedar <0730 >erez >.

21 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the

house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah > with pure <5462

cagar > gold <2091 zahab >: and he made a partition <5674 <abar

22 And the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > he overlaid

23 And within the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah >

<3742 k@ruwb > [was] ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah >,

and so <3651 ken > [was it] of the other <8145 sheniy > cherub

<3742 k@ruwb >.

27 And he set <5414 nathan > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >

within <8432 tavek > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > house <1004

bayith >: and they stretched <6566 paras > forth the wings <3671

kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, so that the wing <3671

kanaph > of the one <0259 >echad > touched <5060 naga< > the

[one] wall <7023 qiyr >, and the wing <3671 kanaph > of the

other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > touched <5060 naga< >

the other <8145 sheniy > wall <7023 qiyr >; and their wings

<3671 kanaph > touched <5060 naga< > one <3671 kanaph > another

<3671 kanaph > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the house <1004

bayith >.

28 And he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >

with gold <2091 zahab >.

29 And he carved <7049 qala< > all <3605 kol > the walls <7023

qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith > round <4524 mecab > about

<4524 mecab > with carved <6603 pittuwach > figures <4734

miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor >

trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts >, within

<6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown >.

30 And the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > he

overlaid <6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab >, within <6441

p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown >.

31 And for the entering <6607 pethach > of the oracle <1687

d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah > doors <1817 deleth > [of] olive

<8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >: the lintel <0352 >ayil > [and]

side posts <4201 m@zuwzah > [were] a fifth <2549 chamiyshiy >

part [of the wall].

32 The two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > also [were of]

olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >; and he carved <7049

qala< > upon them carvings <4734 miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742

k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr >

flowers <6731 tsiyts >, and overlaid <6823 tsaphah > [them] with

gold <2091 zahab >, and spread <7286 radad > gold <2091 zahab >

upon the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, and upon the palm <8561

timmor > trees.

33 So <3651 ken > also made <6213 <asah > he for the door <6907

qubba<ath > of the temple <1964 heykal > posts <4201 m@zuwzah >

[of] olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >, a fourth <7243

r@biy<iy > part [of the wall].

34 And the two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > [were of]

fir <1265 b@rowsh > tree <6086 <ets >: the two <8147 sh@nayim >

leaves <6763 tsela< > of the one <0259 >echad > door <1817

sh@nayim > leaves <7050 qela< > of the other <8145 sheniy > door

<1817 deleth > [were] folding <1550 galiyl >.

35 And he carved <7049 qala< > [thereon] cherubims <3742 k@ruwb

<6731 tsiyts >: and covered <6823 tsaphah > [them] with gold

<2091 zahab > fitted <3474 yashar > upon the carved <2707 chaqah

36 And he built <1129 banah > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court

<2691 chatser > with three <7969 shalowsh > rows <2905 tuwr > of

hewed <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth >, and a row <2905

tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 karuthah >.

37 In the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > was the

foundation <3245 yacad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > laid, in the month <3391 yerach > Zif <2099 Ziv

38 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh >, in the month <3391

yerach > Bul <0945 Buwl >, which <1931 huw> > [is] the eighth

<8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, was the house <1004

bayith > finished <3615 kalah > throughout all <3605 kol > the

parts <1697 dabar > thereof, and according <5921 <al > to all

<3605 kol > the fashion <4941 mishpat > of it. So was he seven

<7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > in building <1129 banah > it.

1Kings 7

1. But Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was building <1129 banah > his

own house <1004 bayith > thirteen years <8141 shaneh >, and he

finished <3615 kalah > all <3605 kol > his house <1004 bayith >.

2 He built <1129 banah > also the house <1004 bayith > of the

forest <3293 ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; the length

<0753 >orek > thereof [was] an hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits

<3773 karuthah > upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >.

3 And [it was] covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez >

above <4605 ma<al > upon the beams <6763 tsela< >, that [lay] on

forty <0705 >arba<iym > five <2568 chamesh > pillars <5982

<ammuwd >, fifteen <6240 <asar > [in] a row <2905 tuwr >.

4 And [there were] windows <8261 shaquph > [in] three <7969

shalowsh > rows <2905 tuwr >, and light <4237 mechezah > [was]

against <0413 >el > light <4237 mechezah > [in] three <7969

5 And all <3605 kol > the doors <6607 pethach > and posts <4201

sheqeph >: and light <4237 mechezah > [was] against light <0216

6 And he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > of pillars

<5982 <ammuwd >; the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was] fifty

<2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the breadth

<7341 rochab > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520

the [other] pillars <5982 <ammuwd > and the thick beam <5646 <ab

7 Then he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > for the

throne <3678 kicce> > where he might judge <8199 shaphat >,

[even] the porch <0197 >uwlam > of judgment <4941 mishpat >: and

[it was] covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez > from

one side of the floor <7172 qarqa< > to the other.

8 And his house <1004 bayith > where he dwelt <3427 yashab >

[had] another <0312 >acher > court <2691 chatser > within <1004

bayith > the porch <0197 >uwlam >, [which] was of the like work

<4649 Muppiym >. Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah >

also an house <1004 bayith > for Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh >

daughter <1323 bath >, whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961 hayah >

taken <3947 laqach > [to wife], like unto this <2088 zeh > porch

<0197 >uwlam >.

9 All <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [were of] costly <3368

hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >, sawed <1641 garar

<2351 chuwts > toward <5704 <ad > the great <1419 gadowl > court

<2691 chatser >.

10 And the foundation <3245 yacad > [was of] costly <3368 yaqar

<68> of ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and stones <68>

11 And above <4605 ma<al > [were] costly <3368 yaqar > stones

<68>, after the measures <4060 middah > of hewed <1496 gaziyth >

stones <1496 gaziyth >, and cedars <0730 >erez >.

12 And the great <1419 gadowl > court <2691 chatser > round

<5439 cabiyb > about [was] with three <7969 shalowsh > rows

<2905 tuwr > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >,

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

13. And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971

shalach > and fetched <3947 laqach > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > out

of Tyre <6865 Tsor >.

14 He [was] a widow's <0490 >almanah > son <1121 ben > of the

tribe <4294 matteh > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >, and his

father <1> [was] a man <0376 >iysh > of Tyre <6876 Tsoriy >, a

worker <2790 charash > in brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and he was

filled <4390 male> > with wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and

understanding <8394 tabuwn >, and cunning <1847 da<ath > to work

<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > works <4399 m@la>kah > in brass

<5178 n@chosheth >. And he came <0935 bow> > to king <4428 melek

kol > his work <4399 m@la>kah >.

15 For he cast <6696 tsuwr > two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982

<ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >, of eighteen cubits <0520

<2339 chuwt > of twelve cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437

cabab > either <8145 sheniy > of them about <5437 cabab >.

16 And he made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > chapiters

<3805 kothereth > [of] molten <3332 yatsaq > brass <5178

n@chosheth >, to set <5414 nathan > upon the tops <7218 ro>sh >

of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >: the height <6967 qowmah > of the

one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] five <2568

chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the height <6967 qowmah >

of the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was]

five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >:

17 [And] nets <7638 sabak > of checker <7639 s@bakah > work

<4639 ma<aseh >, and wreaths <1434 g@dil > of chain <8333

sharah@rah > work <4639 ma<aseh >, for the chapiters <3805

kothereth > which <0834 >aher > [were] upon the top <7218 ro>sh

one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth >, and seven <7651

sheba< > for the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth >.

18 And he made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, and

two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > round <5439 cabiyb >

about upon the one <0259 >echad > network <7639 s@bakah >, to

cover <3680 kacah > the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [were]

upon the top <7218 ro>sh >, with pomegranates <7416 rimmown >:

and so <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for the other <8145

sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth >.

19 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [were] upon the top

<7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [were] of lily

<7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh > in the porch <0197 >uwlam

20 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > upon the two <8147

sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [had pomegranates] also <1571

gam > above <4605 ma<al >, over <5980 <ummah > against <5980

<ummah > the belly <0990 beten > which <0834 >aher > [was] by

<5439 cabiyb > about upon the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter

<3805 kothereth >.

21 And he set <6965 quwm > up the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > in

the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the temple <1964 heykal >: and he

set <6965 quwm > up the right <3225 yamiyn > pillar <5982

<ammuwd >, and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem >

thereof Jachin <3199 Yakiyn >: and he set <6965 quwm > up the

left <8042 s@ma>liy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and called <7121

qara> > the name <8034 shem > thereof Boaz <1162 Bo<az >.

22 And upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd

work <4399 m@la>kah > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > finished

<8552 tamam >.

23 And he made <6213 <asah > a molten <3332 yatsaq > sea <3220

yam >, ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > from the one brim

<8193 saphah > to the other: [it was] round <5696 <agol > all

about, and his height <6967 qowmah > [was] five <2568 chamesh >

cubits <0520 >ammah >: and a line <6957 qav > of thirty <7970

sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 cabab > it

round <5439 cabiyb > about.

24 And under <8478 tachath > the brim <8193 saphah > of it

round <5439 cabiyb > about [there were] knops <6497 peqa< >

compassing <5437 cabab > it, ten <6235 <eser > in a cubit <0520

<5439 cabiyb > about: the knops <6497 peqa< > [were] cast <3333

y@tsukah > in two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr >, when it

was cast <3333 y@tsukah >.

25 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar >, three

<7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the north <6828

tsaphown >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah >

toward the west <3220 yam >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking

<6437 panah > toward the south <5045 negeb >, and three <7969

shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the east <4217 mizrach >:

and the sea <3220 yam > [was set] above <4605 ma<al > upon them,

and all <3605 kol > their hinder <0268 >achowr > parts [were]

inward <1004 bayith >.

26 And it [was] an hand <2947 tephach > breadth <2947 tephach >

thick <5672 <abiy >, and the brim <8193 saphah > thereof was

wrought <4639 ma<aseh > like the brim <8193 saphah > of a cup

<3563 kowc >, with flowers <6525 perach > of lilies <7799

shuwshan >: it contained <3557 kuwl > two thousand <0505 >eleph

27 And he made <6213 <asah > ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350

m@kownah > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >; four <0702 >arba< >

cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the length <0753 >orek > of one

<0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah >, and four <0702 >arba< >

cubits <0520 >ammah > the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof, and

three <7969 shalowsh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the height <6967

qowmah > of it.

28 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the bases <4350 m@kownah >

[was] on this <2088 zeh > [manner]: they had borders <4526

micgereth >, and the borders <4526 micgereth > [were] between

<0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab >:

29 And on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 micgereth > that [were]

between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > [were] lions

<0738 >ariy >, oxen <1241 baqar >, and cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >:

and upon the ledges <7948 shalab > [there was] a base <3653 ken

<0738 >ariy > and oxen <1241 baqar > [were] certain additions

<3914 loyah > made <6213 <asah > of thin <4174 mowrad > work

<4639 ma<aseh >.

30 And every <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > had four

<0702 >arba< > brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wheels <0212 >owphan >,

and plates <5633 ceren > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and the

four <0702 >arba< > corners <6471 pa<am > thereof had

undersetters <3802 katheph >: under <8478 tachath > the laver

<3595 kiyowr > [were] undersetters <3802 katheph > molten <3332

yatsaq >, at the side <5676 <eber > of every <0376 >iysh >

addition <3914 loyah >.

31 And the mouth <6310 peh > of it within <1004 bayith > the

chapiter <3805 kothereth > and above <4605 ma<al > [was] a cubit

<0520 >ammah >: but the mouth <6310 peh > thereof [was] round

<5696 <agol > [after] the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the base <3653

ken >, a cubit <0520 >ammah > and an half <2677 chetsiy >: and

also <1571 gam > upon the mouth <6310 peh > of it [were]

gravings with their borders <4526 micgereth >, foursquare <7251

raba< >, not round <5696 <agol >.

32 And under <8478 tachath > the borders <4526 micgereth >

[were] four <0702 >arba< > wheels <0212 >owphan >; and the

axletrees <3027 yad > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > [were

joined] to the base <4350 m@kownah >: and the height <6967

qowmah > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > [was] a cubit <0520 >ammah >

and half <2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah >.

33 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan >

[was] like the work <4639 ma<aseh > of a chariot <4818 merkabah

naves <1354 gab >, and their felloes <2839 chishshuq >, and

their spokes <2840 chishshur >, [were] all <3605 kol > molten

<3332 yatsaq >.

34 And [there were] four <0702 >arba< > undersetters <3802

katheph > to the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6438 pinnah > of

one <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah >: [and] the undersetters

<3802 katheph > [were] of the very base <4350 m@kownah > itself.

35 And in the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 m@kownah >

[was there] a round <5696 <agol > compass <5439 cabiyb > of half

<2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah >: and

on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 m@kownah

36 For on <5921 <al > the plates <3871 luwach > of the ledges

<3027 yad > thereof, and on <5921 <al > the borders <4526

micgereth > thereof, he graved <6605 pathach > cherubims <3742

k@ruwb >, lions <0738 >ariy >, and palm <8561 timmor > trees,

according to the proportion <4626 ma<ar > of every <0376 >iysh >

one <0376 >iysh >, and additions <3914 loyah > round <5439

cabiyb > about.

37 After this <2063 zo>th > [manner] he made <6213 <asah > the

ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350 m@kownah >: all <3605 kol > of

them had one <0259 >echad > casting <4165 muwtsaq >, one <0259

38 Then made <6213 <asah > he ten <6235 <eser > lavers <3595

7 For the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > spread <6566 paras > forth

10 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the priests <3548

12. Then <0227 >az > spake <0559 >amar > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

14 And the king <4428 melek > turned <5437 cabab > his face

17 And it was in the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David >

my father <1> to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for

the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

18 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto David

<1732 David > my father <1>, Whereas it was in thine heart <3824

19 Nevertheless <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah >

chalats >, he shall build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >

unto my name <8034 shem >.

20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath performed <6965 quwm > his

word <1697 dabar > that he spake <1696 dabar >, and I am risen

21 And I have set <7760 suwm > there <8033 sham > a place <4725

22. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > stood <5975 <amad > before

spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3027 yad > toward heaven

23 And he said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

25 Therefore now <6258 <attah >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

26 And now <6258 <attah >, O God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel

27 But will God <0430 >elohiym > indeed <0552 >umnam > dwell

54. And it was [so], that when Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had

made an end <3615 kalah > of praying <6419 palal > all <3605 kol

55 And he stood <5975 <amad >, and blessed <1288 barak > all

57 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > be with us,

as he was with our fathers <1>: let him not leave <5800 <azab >

59 And let these <0428 >el-leh > my words <1697 dabar >,

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > at all times <3117 yowm >, as the matter

60 That all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the earth

61 Let your heart <3824 lebab > therefore be perfect <8003

62. And the king <4428 melek >, and all <3605 kol > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > with him, offered <2076 zabach > sacrifice

<2077 zebach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

63 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offered <2076 zabach > a

sacrifice <2077 zebach > of peace <8002 shelem > offerings,

which <0834 >aher > he offered <2076 zabach > unto the LORD

64 The same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > did the king <4428

court <2691 chatser > that [was] before <6440 paniym > the house

meat offerings <4503 minchah >, and the fat <2459 cheleb > of

brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > that [was]

before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] too little

65 And at that time <6256 <eth > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > held

<3478 Yisra>el > with him, a great <1419 gadowl > congregation

66 On the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm > he sent

<7971 shalach > the people <5971 <am > away: and they blessed

<1288 barak > the king <4428 melek >, and went <3212 yalak >

unto their tents <0168 >ohel > joyful <8056 sameach > and glad

<2896 towb > of heart <3824 lebab > for all <3605 kol > the

<6213 <asah > for David <1732 David > his servant <5650 <ebed >,

and for Israel <3478 Yisra>el > his people <5971 <am >.

1Kings 9

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Solomon <8010

Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > desire <2837 chesheq > which <0834

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the second <8145 sheniy > time, as he

had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him at Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >.

3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, I

have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605 t@phillah > and thy

supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, that thou hast made before <6440

wilt keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > and my

5 Then I will establish <6965 quwm > the throne <3678 kicce> >

6 [But] if <0518 >im > ye shall at all turn <7725 shuwb > from

[and] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > which <0834 >aher > I have set

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be a proverb <4912 mashal > and a

8 And at this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, [which] is high

therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > brought <0935 bow> >

upon them all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< >.

10. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7097 qatseh >

of twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >, when Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927 <alah >; for to build <1129 banah

own house <1004 bayith >, and Millo <4407 millow> >, and the

wall <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and

Hazor <2674 Chatsowr >, and Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and Gezer

<1507 Gezer >.

16 [For] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim > had gone <5927 <alah > up, and taken <3920

lakad > Gezer <1507 Gezer >, and burnt <8313 saraph > it with

fire <0784 >esh >, and slain <2026 harag > the Canaanites <3669

K@na<aniy > that dwelt <3427 yashab > in the city <5892 <iyr >,

and given <5414 nathan > it [for] a present <7964 shilluwach >

unto his daughter <1323 bath >, Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > wife

<0802 >ishshah >.

17 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > Gezer <1507

Gezer >, and Bethhoron <1032 Beyth Chowrown > the nether <8481

tachtown >,

18 And Baalath <1191 Ba<alath >, and Tadmor <8412 Tadmor > in

the wilderness <4057 midbar >, in the land <0776 >erets >,

19 And all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of store <4543

mick@nah > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah >, and

cities <5892 <iyr > for his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and cities

<5892 <iyr > for his horsemen <6571 parash >, and that which

<0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > desired <2836 chashaq >

to build <1129 banah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and in

Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, and in all <3605 kol > the land <0776

>erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >.

20 [And] all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > [that were]

left <3498 yathar > of the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy >, Hittites

<2850 Chittiy >, Perizzites <6522 P@rizziy >, Hivites <2340

Chivviy >, and Jebusites <2983 Yebuwciy >, which <0834 >aher >

[were] not of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

21 Their children <1121 ben > that were left <3498 yathar >

after <0310 >achar > them in the land <0776 >erets >, whom the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > also were not

able <3201 yakol > utterly to destroy <2763 charam >, upon those

did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > levy <5927 <alah > a tribute <4522

mac > of bondservice <5647 <abad > unto this <2088 zeh > day

<3117 yowm >.

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

did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > make <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> >

bondmen <5650 <ebed >: but they [were] men <0582 >enowsh > of

war <4421 milchamah >, and his servants <5650 <ebed >, and his

princes <8269 sar >, and his captains <7991 shaliysh >, and

rulers <8269 sar > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and his

horsemen <6571 parash >.

23 These <0428 >el-leh > [were] the chief <8269 sar > of the

officers <5324 natsab > that [were] over <5921 <al > Solomon's

<8010 Sh@lomoh > work <4399 m@la>kah >, five <2568 chamesh >

hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, which bare

<7287 radah > rule <7287 radah > over the people <5971 <am >

that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah >.

24 But Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > daughter <1323 bath > came

<5927 <alah > up out of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732

David > unto her house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher >

[Solomon] had built <1129 banah > for her: then <0227 >az > did

he build <1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> >.

25 And three <7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > in a year

<8141 shaneh > did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer <5927 <alah >

burnt <5930 <olah > offerings and peace <8002 shelem > offerings

upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > he built

<1129 banah > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and he burnt <6999

qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >

that [was] before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. So he

finished <7999 shalam > the house <1004 bayith >.

26 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213

<asah > a navy <0590 >oniy > of ships in Eziongeber <6100

<Etsyown <Etsyon Geber >, which <0834 >aher > [is] beside <0854

saphah > of the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >, in the land

<0776 >erets > of Edom <0123 >Edom >.

27 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > in the navy

<0590 >oniy > his servants <5650 <ebed >, shipmen that had

knowledge <3045 yada< > of the sea <3220 yam >, with the

servants <5650 <ebed > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

28 And they came <0935 bow> > to Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >, and

fetched <3947 laqach > from thence <8033 sham > gold <2091 zahab

<esriym > talents <3603 kikkar >, and brought <0935 bow> > [it]

to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

1Kings 10

1. And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >

heard <8085 shama< > of the fame <8088 shema< > of Solomon <8010

Sh@lomoh > concerning the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

hard <2420 chiydah > questions <2420 chiydah >.

2 And she came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

she was come <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, she

communed <1696 dabar > with him of all <3605 kol > that was in

her heart <3824 lebab >.

3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > told <5046 nagad > her all <3605

<1697 dabar > hid <5956 <alam > from the king <4428 melek >,

which <0834 >aher > he told <5046 nagad > her not.

4 And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > had

seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh >

wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and the house <1004 bayith > that he had

built <1129 banah >,

5 And the meat <3978 ma>akal > of his table <7979 shulchan >,

and the sitting <4186 mowshab > of his servants <5650 <ebed >,

and the attendance <4612 ma<amad > of his ministers <8334

sharath >, and their apparel <4403 malbuwsh >, and his

cupbearers <4945 mashqeh >, and his ascent <5930 <olah > by

which <0834 >aher > he went <5927 <alah > up unto the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; there was no <3808

6 And she said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek >, It was

a true <0571 >emeth > report <1697 dabar > that I heard <8085

shama< > in mine own land <0776 >erets > of thy acts <1697 dabar

7 Howbeit I believed <0539 >aman > not the words <1697 dabar >,

until <5704 <ad > I came <0935 bow> >, and mine eyes <5869 <ayin

before <6440 paniym > thee, [and] that hear <8085 shama< > thy

wisdom <2451 chokmah >.

9 Blessed <1288 barak > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God

<0430 >elohiym >, which <0834 >aher > delighted <2654 chaphets >

in thee, to set <5414 nathan > thee on <5921 <al > the throne

<3068 Y@hovah > loved <0160 >ahabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

for ever <5769 <owlam >, therefore made <7760 suwm > he thee

king <4428 melek >, to do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat >

and justice <6666 ts@daqah >.

10 And she gave <5414 nathan > the king <4428 melek > an

hundred <3967 me>ah > and twenty <6242 <esriym > talents <3603

kikkar > of gold <2091 zahab >, and of spices <1314 besem > very

queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > gave <5414 nathan >

to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

11 And the navy <0590 >oniy > also <1571 gam > of Hiram <2438

Chiyram >, that brought <5375 nasa> > gold <2091 zahab > from

Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >, brought <0935 bow> > in from Ophir <0211

12 And the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > of the almug

<0484 >almuggiym > trees <6086 <ets > pillars <4552 mic<ad > for

the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and for

the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, harps <3658

13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414

nathan > unto the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >

all <3605 kol > her desire <2656 chephets >, whatsoever <0834

which <0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan >

her of his royal <4428 melek > bounty. So she turned <6437 panah

<0776 >erets >, she and her servants <5650 <ebed >.

14. Now the weight <4948 mishqal > of gold <2091 zahab > that

came <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in one <0259

>echad > year <8141 shaneh > was six <8337 shesh > hundred <3967

15 Beside <0905 bad > [that he had] of the merchantmen <8446

kings <4428 melek > of Arabia <6152 < Arab >, and of the

governors <6346 pechah > of the country <0776 >erets >.

16 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213

<asah > two hundred <3967 me>ah > targets <6793 tsinnah > [of]

beaten <7820 shachat > gold <2091 zahab >: six <8337 shesh >

hundred <3967 me>ah > [shekels] of gold <2091 zahab > went <5927

17 And [he made] three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah >

shields <4043 magen > [of] beaten <7820 shachat > gold <2091

zahab >; three <7969 shalowsh > pound <4488 maneh > of gold

them in the house <1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 ya<ar > of

Lebanon <3844 L@banown >.

18 Moreover the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > a great

<1419 gadowl > throne <3678 kicce> > of ivory <8127 shen >, and

overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with the best <6338 pazaz > gold

<2091 zahab >.

19 The throne <3678 kicce> > had six <8337 shesh > steps <4609

ma<alah >, and the top <7218 ro>sh > of the throne <3678 kicce>

were] stays <3027 yad > on either side on <0413 >el > the place

sh@nayim > lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 <amad > beside <0681

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

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

zeh > upon the six <8337 shesh > steps <4609 ma<alah >: there

was not the like <3651 ken > made <6213 <asah > in any <3605 kol

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

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

of] gold <2091 zahab >, and all <3605 kol > the vessels <3627

of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [were of] pure <5462 cagar > gold

yowm > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

22 For the king <4428 melek > had at sea <3220 yam > a navy

23 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > exceeded

<1431 gadal > all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the

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

wisdom <2451 chokmah >, which <0834 >aher > God <0430 >elohiym >

25 And they brought <0935 bow> > every man <0376 >iysh > his

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

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

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

with the king <4428 melek > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

27 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver <3701

keceph > [to be] in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > as stones

the sycomore <8256 shaqam > trees that [are] in the vale <8219

sh@phelah >, for abundance <7230 rob >.

28 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > brought

miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh >: the king's <4428 melek > merchants

<5503 cachar > received <3947 laqach > the linen <4723 miqveh >

yarn <4723 miqveh > at a price <4242 m@chiyr >.

29 And a chariot <4818 merkabah > came <5927 <alah > up and

went <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for six <8337

shesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > [shekels] of silver <3701 keceph >,

and an horse <5483 cuwc > for an hundred <3967 me>ah > and

fifty <2572 chamishshiym >: and so for all <3605 kol > the kings

<4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy >, and for the kings

<4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >, did they bring <3318

1Kings 11

1. But king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > loved <0157

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

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto the children

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

<8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah >, [that] his wives <0802

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

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

went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD <3068

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

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

<8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, in the hill <2022 har

Molech <4432 Molek >, the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the

children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown >.

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

kol > his strange <5237 nokriy > wives <0802 >ishshah >, which

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

zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym >.

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

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, because <3588 kiy > his heart <3824

lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which had

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

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

this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, that he should not go

<3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods

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

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

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

>amar > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, Forasmuch as this <2063

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

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

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

surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from thee,

and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650 <ebed >.

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

not do <6213 <asah > it for David <1732 David > thy father's <1>

sake <4616 ma<an >: [but] I will rend <7167 qara< > it out of

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

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

<3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah >; [but] will give <5414

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

<1121 ben > for David <1732 David > my servant's <5650 <ebed >

sake <4616 ma<an >, and for Jerusalem's <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

sake <4616 ma<an > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977

bachar >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

to bury <6912 qabar > the slain <2491 chalal >, after he had

smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in

Edom <0123 >Edom >;

16 (For six <8337 shesh > months <2320 chodesh > did Joab <3097

Yow>ab > remain <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > with all <3605

kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, until <5704 <ad > he had cut

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

<0123 >Edom >:)

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

<0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father's <1> servants <5650

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

<5288 na<ar >.

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

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

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

Pa>ran >, and they came <0935 bow> > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >,

unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim >; which gave <5414 nathan > him an house <1004 bayith

gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc

> bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath > his son <1121

ben >, whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned <1580 gamal > in

Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > house <1004 bayith >: and Genubath

<1592 G@nubath > was in Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > household <1004

bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben > of Pharaoh

<6547 Par<oh >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

mine own country <0776 >erets >.

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

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

behold <2009 hinneh >, thou seekest <1245 baqash > to go <3212

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

<0559 >amar >, Nothing <3808 lo> >: howbeit let me go <7971

shalach > in any wise.

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

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

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

fled <1272 barach > from his lord <0113 >adown > Hadadezer <1909

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

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

and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band <1416

g@duwd >, when David <1732 David > slew <2026 harag > them [of

Zobah <6678 Tsowba> >]: and they went <3212 yalak > to Damascus

<1834 Dammeseq >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein, and reigned

<4427 malak > in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >.

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

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

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

that Hadad <1908 Hadad > [did]: and he abhorred <6973 quwts >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921

<al > Syria <0758 >Aram >.

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

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

Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 <ebed >, whose mother's

<0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Zeruah, a widow <0490

>almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah >, even he lifted <7311 ruwm >

up [his] hand <3027 yad > against the king <4428 melek >.

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

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

<4428 melek >: Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah >

Millo <4407 millow> >, [and] repaired <5462 cagar > the breaches

<6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >

his father <1>.

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

mighty <1368 gibbowr > man of valour <2428 chayil >: and Solomon

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

man that he was industrious, he made him ruler <6485 paqad >

over all <3605 kol > the charge <5447 cebel > of the house <1004

bayith > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph >.

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

when Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > went <3318 yatsa> > out of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, that the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

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

<4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek >; and he had clad

<3680 kacah > himself <1931 huw> > with a new <2319 chadash >

garment <8008 salmah >; and they two <8147 sh@nayim > [were]

alone <0905 bad > in the field <7704 sadeh >:

30 And Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > caught <8610 taphas > the new

<2319 chadash > garment <8008 salmah > that [was] on <5921 <al >

him, and rent <7167 qara< > it [in] twelve pieces <7168 qera< >:

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

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

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

the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Behold

32 (But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > tribe

sake <4616 ma<an >, the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I

have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol > the tribes

<7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:)

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

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

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

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

<4124 Mow>ab >, and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god <0430 >elohiym

not walked <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek >, to do <6213

<asah > [that which is] right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869

<ayin >, and [to keep] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my

judgments <4941 mishpat >, as [did] David <1732 David > his

father <1>.

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

<4467 mamlakah > out of his hand <3027 yad >: but I will make

him prince <5387 nasiy> > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm >

of his life <2416 chay > for David my servant's <5650 <ebed >

sake <4616 ma<an >, whom <0834 >aher > I chose <0977 bachar >,

because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments

<4687 mitsvah > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah >:

35 But I will take <3947 laqach > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah >

out of his son's <1121 ben > hand <3027 yad >, and will give

<5414 nathan > it unto thee, [even] ten <6235 <eser > tribes

<7626 shebet >.

36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan > one

<0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet >, that David <1732 David > my

servant <5650 <ebed > may have a light <5216 niyr > alway before

<6440 paniym > me in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the city

<5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > me

to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there <8033 sham >.

37 And I will take <3947 laqach > thee, and thou shalt reign

<4427 malak > according to all <3605 kol > that thy soul <5315

nephesh > desireth <8378 ta>avah >, and shalt be king <4428

38 And it shall be, if <0518 >im > thou wilt hearken <8085

shama< > unto all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee,

and wilt walk <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek >, and do

<6213 <asah > [that is] right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869

<ayin >, to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and

my commandments <4687 mitsvah >, as David <1732 David > my

servant <5650 <ebed > did <6213 <asah >; that I will be with

thee, and build <1129 banah > thee a sure <0539 >aman > house

<1004 bayith >, as I built <1129 banah > for David <1732 David >,

and will give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto thee.

39 And I will for this <2063 zo>th > afflict <6031 <anah > the

seed <2233 zera< > of David <1732 David >, but not for ever.

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

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

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

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

Mitsrayim > until <5704 <ad > the death <4194 maveth > of

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

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

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

<asah >, and his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, [are] they not written

<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the acts <1697

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1Kings 12

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

<7927 Sh@kem >: for all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were

come <0935 bow> > to Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > to make him king

<4427 malak >.

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

Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <1931

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

<8085 shama< > [of it], (for he was fled <1272 barach > from the

presence <6440 paniym > of king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010

Sh@lomoh >, and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > dwelt <3427 yashab >

in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >;)

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

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

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

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

saying <0559 >amar >,

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

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

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

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

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

serve <5647 <abad > thee.

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

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

then come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to me. And the

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

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

<3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men, that stood <5975

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

yet lived <2416 chay >, and said <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk >

do ye advise <3289 ya<ats > that I may answer <1697 dabar > this

<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >?

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

If <0518 >im > thou wilt be a servant <5650 <ebed > unto this

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

and wilt serve <5647 <abad > them, and answer <6030 <anah >

them, and speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > words <1697

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

for ever.

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

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

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

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

[and] which <0834 >aher > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440

paniym > him:

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

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

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

<1696 dabar > to me, saying <0559 >amar >, Make the yoke <5923

<ol > which <0834 >aher > thy father <1> did put <5414 nathan >

upon us lighter <7043 qalal >?

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

Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou speak <0559 >amar > unto this <2088

zeh > people <5971 <am > that spake <1696 dabar > unto thee,

saying <0559 >amar >, Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol >

heavy <3513 kabad >, but make thou [it] lighter <7043 qalal >

unto us; thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them,

My little <6996 qatan > [finger] shall be thicker <5666 <abah >

than my father's <1> loins <4975 mothen >.

11 And now <6258 <attah > whereas my father <1> did lade <6006

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

add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol >: my father <1> hath

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

chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions <6137 <aqrab >.

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

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

third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm >, as the king <4428

<7725 shuwb > to me again <7725 shuwb > the third <7992

sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm >.

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

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

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

gave <3289 ya<ats > him;

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

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

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

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

father <1> [also] chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips <7752

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

<6137 <aqrab >.

15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085

shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am >; for the cause <5438

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

perform <6965 quwm > his saying <1697 dabar >, which <0834 >aher

>Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > unto Jeroboam <3379

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

16. So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saw <7200

ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama< > not

unto them, the people <5971 <am > answered <1697 dabar > the

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

portion <2506 cheleq > have we in David <1732 David >? neither

<3808 lo> > [have we] inheritance <5159 nachalah > in the son

<1121 ben > of Jesse <3448 Yishay >: to your tents <0168 >ohel >,

O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: now <6258 <attah > see <7200 ra>ah >

to thine own house <1004 bayith >, David <1732 David >. So

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak > unto their tents

<0168 >ohel >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<68>, that he died <4191 muwth >. Therefore king <4428 melek >

Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats > to get

<5927 <alah > him up to his chariot <4818 merkabah >, to flee

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

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

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

zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

none <3808 lo> > that followed <0310 >achar > the house <1004

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

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

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

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

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

with the tribe <7626 shebet > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, an

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

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

to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the house <1004

bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, to bring <7725 shuwb > the

kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346

R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.

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

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

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

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

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

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and unto all <3605 kol > the house <1004

bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn

saying <0559 >amar >,

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

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: return <7725

shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004 bayith >; for

this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > is from me. They hearkened

<8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, and returned <7725 shuwb > to depart <3212

yalak >, according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

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

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

and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein; and went <3318 yatsa> > out

from thence <8033 sham >, and built <1129 banah > Penuel <6439

P@nuw>el >.

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

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

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

27 If <0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > go <5927

<alah > up to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach > in the

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

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

<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725

shuwb > unto their lord <3068 Y@hovah >, [even] unto Rehoboam

<7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,

and they shall kill <2026 harag > me, and go again <7725 shuwb >

to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah >.

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

and made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <egel

is too much <7227 rab > for you to go <5927 <alah > up to

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: behold <2009 hinneh > thy gods

<0430 >elohiym >, O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher >

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

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.

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

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

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

yalak > [to worship] before <6440 paniym > the one <0259 >echad

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

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

<0834 >aher > were not of the sons <1121 ben > of Levi <3878

Leviy >.

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

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

<2320 chodesh >, like unto the feast <2282 chag > that [is] in

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the

altar <4196 mizbeach >. So <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he in

Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, sacrificing <2076 zabach > unto the

calves <5695 <egel > that he had made <6213 <asah >: and he

placed <5975 <amad > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > the priests

<3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher

33 So he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >

which <0834 >aher > he had made <6213 <asah > in Bethel <1008

Beyth->El > the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the

a feast <2282 chag > unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >: and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar

<4196 mizbeach >, and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >.

1Kings 13

1. And, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <0935 bow> > a man

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > out of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

stood <5975 <amad > by the altar <4196 mizbeach > to burn <6999

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

<4196 mizbeach > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, O altar <4196 mizbeach >,

altar <4196 mizbeach >, thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, a child <1121 ben >

incense <6999 qatar > upon thee, and men's <0120 >adam > bones

<6106 <etsem > shall be burnt <8313 saraph > upon thee.

3 And he gave <5414 nathan > a sign <4159 mowpheth > the same

and the ashes <1880 deshen > that [are] upon it shall be poured

<8210 shaphak > out.

4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek >

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > heard <8085 shama< > the saying <1697

dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which

<0834 >aher > had cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the

altar <4196 mizbeach > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, that he put

<7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad > from

the altar <4196 mizbeach >, saying <0559 >amar >, Lay hold <8610

he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > against <5921 <al >

him, dried <3001 yabesh > up, so that he could <3201 yakol > not

pull <7725 shuwb > it in again <7725 shuwb > to him.

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

the ashes <1880 deshen > poured <8210 shaphak > out from the

altar <4196 mizbeach >, according to the sign <4159 mowpheth >

which <0834 >aher > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym

<3068 Y@hovah >.

6 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said

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

Intreat <2470 chalah > now <4994 na> > the face <6440 paniym >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and pray

<6419 palal > for me, that my hand <3027 yad > may be restored

<7725 shuwb > me again <7725 shuwb >. And the man <0376 >iysh >

of God <0430 >elohiym > besought <2470 chalah > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad > was

restored <7725 shuwb > him again <7725 shuwb >, and became <1961

hayah > as [it was] before <7223 ri>shown >.

7 And the king <4428 melek > said <1696 dabar > unto the man

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, Come <0935 bow> > home

<1004 bayith > with me, and refresh <5582 ca<ad > thyself, and I

will give <5414 nathan > thee a reward <4991 mattath >.

8 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559

give <5414 nathan > me half <2677 chetsiy > thine house <1004

9 For so <3651 ken > was it charged <6680 tsavah > me by the

<3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > by the same

way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak >.

10 So he went <3212 yalak > another <0312 >acher > way <1870

derek >, and returned <7725 shuwb > not by the way <1870 derek >

that he came <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >.

11. Now there dwelt <3427 yashab > an old <2205 zaqen > prophet

12 And their father <1> said <1696 dabar > unto them, What way

13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his sons <1121 ben >, Saddle

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

<2280 chabash > him the ass <2543 chamowr >: and he rode <7392

rakab > thereon <5921 <al >,

14 And went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the man <0376

15 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Come <3212 yalak > home

<1004 bayith > with me, and eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem

16 And he said <0559 >amar >, I may <3201 yakol > not return

neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem

17 For it was said <1697 dabar > to me by the word <1697 dabar

the way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak >.

18 He said <0559 >amar > unto him, I [am] a prophet <5030

lied <3584 kachash > unto him.

19 So he went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > with him, and

did eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > in his house <1004

bayith >, and drank <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim >.

20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they sat <3427 yashab

21 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God

23. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, after <0310 >achar > he

1. At that time <6256 <eth > Abijah <29> the son <1121 ben > of

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > fell sick <2470 chalah >.

2 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > to his wife

4 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 >ishshah > did

5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahijah

6 And it was [so], when Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > heard <8085

shama< > the sound <6963 qowl > of her feet <7272 regel >, as

she came <0935 bow> > in at the door <6607 pethach >, that he

7. Go <3212 yalak >, tell <0559 >amar > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am

10 Therefore, behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> >

evil <7451 ra< > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379

11 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > in

13 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall mourn

14 Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall raise <6965 quwm >

16 And he shall give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > up

who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398

17 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 >ishshah > arose

<6965 quwm >, and departed <3212 yalak >, and came <0935 bow> >

to Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >: [and] when she came <0935 bow> > to

the threshold <5592 caph > of the door <1004 bayith >, the child

18 And they buried <6912 qabar > him; and all <3605 kol >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > mourned <5594 caphad > for him,

21. And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > reigned <4427 malak > in Judah <3063

Y@huwdah >. Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > [was] forty <0705

22 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra<

23 For they also <1571 gam > built <1129 banah > them high

25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549

the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house

28 And it was [so], when <1767 day > the king <4428 melek >

went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

29 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > reigned <4427 malak > Asa <0609 >Aca> > over <5921

10 And forty <0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years

<8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >

[was] Maachah <4601 Ma<akah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of

Abishalom <53>.

11 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > did <6213 <asah > [that which was]

right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, as [did] David <1732 David > his father <1>.

12 And he took <5674 <abar > away the sodomites <6945 qadesh >

out of the land <0776 >erets >, and removed <5493 cuwr > all

<3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > that his fathers <1> had

made <6213 <asah >.

13 And also <1571 gam > Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > his mother

<0517 >em >, even her he removed <5493 cuwr > from [being] queen

<1377 g@biyrah >, because <0834 >aher > she had made <6213 <asah

Asa <0609 >Aca> > destroyed <3772 karath > her idol <4656

miphletseth >, and burnt <8313 saraph > [it] by the brook <5158

nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown >.

14 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not removed <5493

cuwr >: nevertheless <7535 raq > Asa's <0609 >Aca> > heart <3824

lebab > was perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm >.

15 And he brought <0935 bow> > in the things which his father

<1> had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, and the things which himself

had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, into the house <1004 bayith > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, silver <3701 keceph >, and gold <2091

zahab >, and vessels <3627 k@liy >.

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

<0609 >Aca> > and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm >.

17 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah >, and built <1129 banah > Ramah <7414 Ramah >,

that he might not suffer <5414 nathan > any to go <3318 yatsa> >

out or come <0935 bow> > in to Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

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

the silver <3701 keceph > and the gold <2091 zahab > [that were]

left <3498 yathar > in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the

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

treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house

<1004 bayith >, and delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand

<3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >: and king <4428 melek

Binnuwy >, the son <1121 ben > of Tabrimon <2886 Tabrimmown >,

the son <1121 ben > of Hezion <2383 Chezyown >, king <4428 melek

<1834 Dammeseq >, saying <0559 >amar >,

19 [There is] a league <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > me

and thee, [and] between <0996 beyn > my father <1> and thy

father <1>: behold <2009 hinneh >, I have sent <7971 shalach >

unto thee a present <7810 shachad > of silver <3701 keceph > and

gold <2091 zahab >; come <3212 yalak > and break <6565 parar >

thy league <1285 b@riyth > with Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king

<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, that he may depart

<5927 <alah > from me.

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

king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> >, and sent <7971 shalach >

the captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <2428 chayil > which <0834

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and smote <5221 nakah > Ijon <5859

<Iyown >, and Dan <1835 Dan >, and Abelbethmaachah <62>, and all

<3605 kol > Cinneroth <3672 Kinn@rowth >, with all <3605 kol >

the land <0776 >erets > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >.

21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Baasha <1201 Ba<sha>

off building <1129 banah > of Ramah <7414 Ramah >, and dwelt

<3427 yashab > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.

22 Then king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > made <6213 <asah >

a proclamation <8085 shama< > throughout all <3605 kol > Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah >; none <0369 >ayin > [was] exempted <5355 naqiy

<7414 Ramah >, and the timber <6086 <ets > thereof, wherewith

<0834 >aher > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > had builded <1129 banah >;

and king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > built <1129 banah >

with them Geba <1387 Geba< > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, and

Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.

23 The rest <3499 yether > of all <3605 kol > the acts <1697

<1369 g@buwrah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah >,

the time <6256 <eth > of his old <2209 ziqnah > age he was

diseased <2470 chalah > in his feet <7272 regel >.

24 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers

<1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1> in the

city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1>: and

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > his son <1121 ben > reigned

<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.

25. And Nadab <5070 Nadab > the son <1121 ben > of Jeroboam

<3379 Yarob<am > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > two <8147 sh@nayim > years <8141 shaneh

26 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869

<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked <3212 yalak > in

the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in his sin <2403

chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478

Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.

27 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah

<0281 >Achiyah >, of the house <1004 bayith > of Issachar <3485

Yissaskar >, conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him;

and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > smote <5221 nakah > him at Gibbethon

Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >; for Nadab <5070 Nadab > and all

<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > laid siege <6696 tsuwr > to

Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >.

28 Even in the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of

Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

did Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slay <4191 muwth > him, and reigned

<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.

29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when he reigned <4427

malak >, [that] he smote <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > the house

<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; he left <7604

<0834 >aher > he provoked the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

31 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Nadab <5070 Nadab >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah

33 In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa

34 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869

1Kings 16

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

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

Hanani <2607 Chananiy > against <5921 <al > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha>

and thou hast walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and hast made my people <5971 <am >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, to provoke me to

anger <3707 ka<ac > with their sins <2403 chatta>ah >;

3 Behold <2005 hen >, I will take <1197 ba<ar > away the

posterity <0310 >achar > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and the

posterity <0310 >achar > of his house <1004 bayith >; and will

make <5414 nathan > thy house <1004 bayith > like the house

<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >

of Nebat <5028 N@bat >.

4 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > in the

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

Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and what <0834 >aher > he did <6213

<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles

<1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

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

fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Tirzah <8656

Tirtsah >: and Elah <0425 >Elah > his son <1121 ben > reigned

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

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

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

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <0413 >el > Baasha <1201

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

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

the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; and

because <0834 >aher > he killed <5221 nakah > him.

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

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

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

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

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

<8141 shaneh >.

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

<8269 sar > of half <4276 machatsiyth > [his] chariots <7393

rekeb >, conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him, as he

was in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, drinking <8354 shathah > himself

Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.

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

of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

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

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

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

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

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

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

to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their vanities <1892 hebel >.

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

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

15. In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< >

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

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

malak > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > in Tirzah <8656

Tirtsah >. And the people <5971 <am > [were] encamped <2583

chanah > against <5921 <al > Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >, which

<0834 >aher > [belonged] to the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >.

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

hath conspired <7194 qashar >, and hath also <1571 gam > slain

<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek >: wherefore all <3605 kol >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > made Omri <6018 <Omriy >, the captain

<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117 yowm > in the

camp <4264 machaneh >.

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

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

with him, and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.

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

saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 <iyr > was taken <3920

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

and burnt <8313 saraph > the king's <4428 melek > house <1004

<4191 muwth >,

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

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

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

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

Yarob<am >, and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher >

he did <6213 <asah >, to make Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin

<2398 chata> >.

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

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

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

the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the

kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel <3478

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

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

Giynath >, to make him king <4427 malak >; and half <2677

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

<6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people <5971

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

died <4191 muwth >, and Omri <6018 <Omriy > reigned <4427 malak

23 In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and first <0259 >echad >

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

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427

malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, twelve years

<8141 shaneh >: six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned

<4427 malak > he in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.

24 And he bought <7069 qanah > the hill <2022 har > Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > for two talents <3603

kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and built <1129 banah > on

<0853 >eth > the hill <2022 har >, and called <7121 qara> > the

name <8034 shem > of the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher >

he built <1129 banah >, after <5921 <al > the name <8034 shem >

of Shemer <8106 Shemer >, owner <0113 >adown > of the hill <2022

har >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

25 But Omri <6018 <Omriy > wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra<

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

<6440 paniym > him.

26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way <1870

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

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

<0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398

chata> >, to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym

vanities <1892 hebel >.

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

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

and his might <1369 g@buwrah > that he shewed <6213 <asah >,

[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher >

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

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

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

<1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >:

and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak

29. And in the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and eighth <8083

sh@moneh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the

son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 malak >

over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Shom@rown > twenty <6242 <esriym > and two <8147 sh@nayim >

years <8141 shaneh >.

30 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018

<Omriy > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869

<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > above all <3605 kol > that

[were] before <6440 paniym > him.

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

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

<2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben

<0802 >ishshah > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > the daughter <1323

bath > of Ethbaal <0856 >Ethba<al > king <4428 melek > of the

Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy >, and went <3212 yalak > and served

<5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and worshipped <7812 shachah >

him.

32 And he reared <6965 quwm > up an altar <4196 mizbeach > for

Baal <1168 Ba<al > in the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168

Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher > he had built <1129 banah > in

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

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

<3254 yacaph > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac >

than all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him.

34 In his days <3117 yowm > did Hiel <2419 Chiy>el > the

Bethelite <1017 Beyth ha->Eliy > build <1129 banah > Jericho

<3405 Y@riychow >: he laid the foundation <3245 yacad > thereof

in Abiram <48> his firstborn <1060 b@kowr >, and set <5324

natsab > up the gates <1817 deleth > thereof in his youngest

<6810 tsa<iyr > [son] Segub <7687 S@guwb >, according to the

word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834

>aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the

son <1121 ben > of Nun <5126 Nuwn >.

1Kings 17

1. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >,

[who was] of the inhabitants <8453 towshab > of Gilead <1568

Gil<ad >, said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, [As] the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834

shaneh >, but according <6310 peh > to my word <1697 dabar >.

2 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >,

3 Get <3212 yalak > thee hence <2088 zeh >, and turn <6437

panah > thee eastward <6924 qedem >, and hide <5641 cathar >

thyself by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth >,

that [is] before Jordan <3383 Yarden >.

4 And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink <8354 shathah > of

the brook <5158 nachal >; and I have commanded <6680 tsavah >

the ravens <6158 <oreb > to feed <3557 kuwl > thee there <8033

sham >.

5 So he went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according unto

the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for he went

<3212 yalak > and dwelt <3427 yashab > by the brook <5158 nachal

6 And the ravens <6158 <oreb > brought <0935 bow> > him bread

<3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the morning <1242

boqer >, and bread <3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the

evening <6153 <ereb >; and he drank of the brook <5158 nachal >.

7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a while

<3117 yowm >, that the brook <5158 nachal > dried <3001 yabesh >

up, because <3588 kiy > there had <1961 hayah > been <1961 hayah

8. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >,

9 Arise <6965 quwm >, get <3212 yalak > thee to Zarephath <6886

Tsar@phath >, which <0834 >aher > [belongeth] to Zidon <6721

Tsiydown >, and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >: behold

<2009 hinneh >, I have commanded <6680 tsavah > a widow <0490

>almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > there <8033 sham > to sustain

<3557 kuwl > thee.

10 So he arose <6965 quwm > and went <3212 yalak > to Zarephath

<6886 Tsar@phath >. And when he came <0935 bow> > to the gate

<6607 pethach > of the city <5892 <iyr >, behold <2009 hinneh >,

the widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > [was] there

<8033 sham > gathering <7197 qashash > of sticks <6086 <ets >:

and he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >,

Fetch <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a little <4592

m@<at > water <4325 mayim > in a vessel <3627 k@liy >, that I

may drink <8354 shathah >.

11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach >

[it], he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >,

Bring <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a morsel <6595

path > of bread <3899 lechem > in thine hand <3027 yad >.

12 And she said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay >, I have <3426 yesh

I [am] gathering <7197 qashash > two <8147 sh@nayim > sticks

<asah > it for me and my son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398

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

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

thou hast said <0559 >amar >: but make <6213 <asah > me thereof

<8033 sham > a little <6996 qatan > cake <5692 <uggah > first

<7223 ri>shown >, and bring <3318 yatsa> > [it] unto me, and

after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 <asah > for thee and for thy

son <1121 ben >.

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

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

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

day <3117 yowm > [that] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sendeth <5414

nathan > rain <1653 geshem > upon the earth <0127 >adamah >.

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

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

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

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

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

<3615 kalah > not, neither <3808 lo> > did the cruse <6835

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

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

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

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

these <0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, [that] the son <1121

ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah >, the mistress <1172 ba<alah

sickness <2483 choliy > was so <3966 m@<od > sore <2389 chazaq >,

that there was no <3808 lo> > breath <5397 n@shamah > left

<3498 yathar > in him.

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

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

God <0430 >elohiym >? art thou come <0935 bow> > unto me to call

<2142 zakar > my sin <5771 <avon > to remembrance <2142 zakar >,

and to slay <4191 muwth > my son <1121 ben >?

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

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

bosom <2436 cheyq >, and carried <5927 <alah > him up into <0413

laid <7901 shakab > him upon his own bed <4296 mittah >.

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

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

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

guwr >, by slaying <4191 muwth > her son <1121 ben >?

21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child <3206

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

<7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559

soul <5315 nephesh > come <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > him

again <7725 shuwb >.

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

<6963 qowl > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >; and the soul <5315

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

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

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

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

out of the chamber <5944 <aliyah > into the house <1004 bayith >,

and delivered <5414 nathan > him unto his mother <0517 >em >:

and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar >, See <7200 ra>ah >,

thy son <1121 ben > liveth <2416 chay >.

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

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

<3045 yada< > that thou [art] a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430

Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh > [is] truth <0571 >emeth >.

1Kings 18

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

days <3117 yowm >, that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > in the

third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, saying <0559 >amar

>Ach>ab >; and I will send <5414 nathan > rain <4306 matar >

upon the earth <0127 >adamah >.

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

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

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

Shom@rown >.

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

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

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

feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > greatly <3966

m@<od >:

4 For it was [so], when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > cut <3772

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

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

hundred <3967 me>ah > prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and hid <2244>

them by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah >,

and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > and water

<4325 mayim >.)

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

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

unto all <3605 kol > fountains <4599 ma<yan > of water <4325

mayim >, and unto all brooks <5158 nachal >: peradventure <0194

pered > alive <2421 chayah >, that we lose <3772 karath > not

all <3605 kol > the beasts <0929 b@hemah >.

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

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

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

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

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

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

him: and he knew <5234 nakar > him, and fell <5307 naphal > on

<5921 <al > his face <6440 paniym >, and said <0559 >amar >,

[Art] thou that my lord <0113 >adown > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >?

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

tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown >, Behold <2009 hinneh

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

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

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

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

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

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

or kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, whither my lord <0113 >adown > hath

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

they said <0559 >amar >, [He is] not [there]; he took an oath

<7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > and nation <1471

gowy >, that they found <4672 matsa> > thee not.

11 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Go <3212

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

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

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

gone <3212 yalak > from thee, that the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry <5375 nasa> > thee whither

I know <3045 yada< > not; and [so] when I come <0935 bow> > and

tell <5046 nagad > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and he cannot <3808 lo>

I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > from my youth <5271 na<uwr >.

13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 >adown > what I

did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026 harag

> the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, how I

hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of the

LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty <2572

chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah >, and fed <3557 kuwl >

them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim >?

14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Go <3212

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

<2009 hinneh >, Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [is here]: and he shall

slay <2026 harag > me.

15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416 chay >,

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

I will surely <3588 kiy > shew <7200 ra>ah > myself unto him to

day <3117 yowm >.

16 So Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125

qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and told <5046 nagad > him: and

Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125 qir>ah >

Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.

17. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

>Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him, [Art] thou he that

troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

18 And he answered <0559 >amar >, I have not troubled <5916

<akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; but thou, and thy father's <1>

house <1004 bayith >, in that ye have forsaken <5800 <azab > the

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

thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al >.

19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore send <7971 shalach >, [and]

gather <6908 qabats > to me all <3605 kol > Israel <3478

Yisra>el > unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and the

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > four <0702 >arba<

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah > four

<0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah >, which eat <0398 >akal > at

Jezebel's <0348 >Iyzebel > table <7979 shulchan >.

20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all <3605

kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and

gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together

unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >.

21. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, and said <0559 >amar >, How

<5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between

<5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph >? if

<0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [be] God <0430 >elohiym >,

follow him: but if <0518 >im > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, [then] follow

him. And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > him not a

word <1697 dabar >.

22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the

people <5971 <am >, I, [even] I only <0905 bad >, remain <3498

yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;

but Baal's <1168 Ba<al > prophets <5030 nabiy> > [are] four

<0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572

chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh >.

23 Let them therefore give <5414 nathan > us two <8147 sh@nayim

<0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for themselves <1992 hem >,

and cut <5408 nathach > it in pieces, and lay <7760 suwm > [it]

on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets >, and put <7760 suwm > no <3808

lo> > fire <0784 >esh > [under]: and I will dress <6213 <asah >

the other <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par >, and lay <7760 suwm

<3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh > [under]:

24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your

gods <0430 >elohiym >, and I will call <7121 qara> > on the name

<8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the God <0430

>elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh >,

let him be God <0430 >elohiym >. And all <3605 kol > the people

<5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, It is

well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar >.

25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, Choose <0977

bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for

yourselves, and dress <6213 <asah > [it] first <7223 ri>shown >;

for ye [are] many <7227 rab >; and call <7121 qara> > on the

name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430 >elohiym >, but put <7760

suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh > [under].

26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which

was given <5414 nathan > them, and they dressed <6213 <asah >

[it], and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of Baal

<1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704 <ad >

noon <6672 tsohar >, saying <0559 >amar >, O Baal <1168 Ba<al >,

hear <6030 <anah > us. But [there was] no <0369 >ayin > voice

<6963 qowl >, nor <0369 >ayin > any that answered <6030 <anah >.

And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >

which <0834 >aher > was made <6213 <asah >.

27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar >,

that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them, and said

<0559 >amar >, Cry <7121 qara> > aloud: for he [is] a god <0430

>elohiym >; either <3588 kiy > he is talking <7879 siyach >, or

he is pursuing <7873 siyg >, or he is in a journey <1870 derek >,

[or] peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he sleepeth <3463 yashen >,

and must be awaked <3364 yaqats >.

28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud, and cut <1413 gadad >

themselves after their manner <4941 mishpat > with knives <2719

chereb > and lancets <7420 romach >, till <5704 <ad > the blood

<1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them.

29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when midday <6672 tsohar

until <5704 <ad > the [time] of the offering <5927 <alah > of

the [evening] sacrifice <4503 minchah >, that [there was]

neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl >, nor <0369 >ayin > any

to answer <6030 <anah >, nor <0369 >ayin > any that regarded

<7182 qesheb >.

30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all <3605

kol > the people <5971 <am >, Come <5066 nagash > near <5066

nagash > unto me. And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >

came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto him. And he

repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > [that was] broken <2040 harac > down.

31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve stones

<68>, according to the number <4557 micpar > of the tribes <7626

shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, unto

whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Israel <3478

Yisra>el > shall be thy name <8034 shem >:

32 And with the stones <68> he built <1129 banah > an altar

<4196 mizbeach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >: and he made <6213 <asah > a trench <8585 t@<alah >

about <5439 cabiyb > the altar <4196 mizbeach >, as great <1004

bayith > as would contain <1004 bayith > two measures <5429

c@>ah > of seed <2233 zera< >.

33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order

<6186 <arak >, and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par >

in pieces, and laid <7760 suwm > [him] on <5921 <al > the wood

<6086 <ets >, and said <0559 >amar >, Fill <4390 male> > four

<0702 >arba< > barrels <3537 kad > with water <4325 mayim >, and

pour <3332 yatsaq > [it] on <5921 <al > the burnt <5930 <olah >

sacrifice, and on <5921 <al > the wood <6086 <ets >.

34 And he said <0559 >amar >, Do [it] the second <8138 shanah >

time. And they did [it] the second <8138 shanah > time. And he

said <0559 >amar >, Do [it] the third <8027 shalash > time. And

they did [it] the third <8027 shalash > time.

35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439

cabiyb > about the altar <4196 mizbeach >; and he filled <4390

male> > the trench <8565 tan > also <1571 gam > with water <4325

mayim >.

36 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at [the time of] the

offering <5927 <alah > of the [evening] sacrifice <4503 minchah

<5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash >, and said <0559 >amar >, LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85>, Isaac

<3327 Yitschaq >, and of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, let it be

known <3045 yada< > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > that thou

[art] God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and

[that] I [am] thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and [that] I have done

<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > things <1697

dabar > at thy word <1697 dabar >.

37 Hear <6030 <anah > me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, hear <6030

<anah > me, that this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > may know

<3045 yada< > that thou [art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

heart <3820 leb > back <0322 >achoranniyth > again <0322

>achoranniyth >.

38 Then the fire <0784 >esh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > fell

<5307 naphal >, and consumed <0398 >akal > the burnt <5930 <olah

> sacrifice, and the wood <6086 <ets >, and the stones <68>, and

the dust <6083 <aphar >, and licked <3897 lachak > up the water

<4325 mayim > that [was] in the trench <8565 tan >.

39 And when all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > saw <7200

ra>ah > [it], they fell <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > their

faces <6440 paniym >: and they said <0559 >amar >, The LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, he [is] the God <0430 >elohiym >; the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, he [is] the God <0430 >elohiym >.

40 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto them,

Take <8610 taphas > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168

Ba<al >; let not one <0376 >iysh > of them escape <4422 malat >.

And they took <8610 taphas > them: and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >

brought <3381 yarad > them down <3281 Ya<lam > to the brook

<5158 nachal > Kishon <7028 Qiyshown >, and slew <7819 shachat >

them there <8033 sham >.

41. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab >, Get <5927 <alah > thee up, eat <0398 >akal >

and drink <8354 shathah >; for [there is] a sound <6963 qowl >

of abundance <1995 hamown > of rain <1653 geshem >.

42 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <5927 <alah > up to eat <0398

>akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >

went <5927 <alah > up to the top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760

Karmel >; and he cast <1457 gahar > himself down <1457 gahar >

upon the earth <0776 >erets >, and put <7760 suwm > his face

<6440 paniym > between <0996 beyn > his knees <1290 berek >,

43 And said <0559 >amar > to his servant <5288 na<ar >, Go

<5927 <alah > up now <4994 na> >, look <5027 nabat > toward

<1870 derek > the sea <3220 yam >. And he went <5927 <alah > up,

and looked <5027 nabat >, and said <0559 >amar >, [There is]

nothing. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <7725 shuwb > again <7725

shuwb > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >.

44 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seventh <7637

sh@biy<iy > time, that he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009

hinneh >, there ariseth <5927 <alah > a little <6996 qatan >

cloud <5645 <ab > out of the sea <3220 yam >, like a man's <0376

<0631 >acar > [thy chariot], and get <3381 yarad > thee down

<3381 yarad >, that the rain <1653 geshem > stop <6113 <atsar >

thee not.

45 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the mean while <3541

koh >, that the heaven <8064 shamayim > was black <6937 qadar >

with clouds <5645 <ab > and wind <7307 ruwach >, and there was a

great <1419 gadowl > rain <1653 geshem >. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Yizr@<e>l >.

46 And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was on

<0413 >el > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >; and he girded <8151 shanac >

up his loins <4975 mothen >, and ran <7323 ruwts > before <6440

paniym > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the entrance <0935 bow> > of

Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >.

1Kings 19

1. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > told <5046 nagad > Jezebel <0348

>Iyzebel > all <3605 kol > that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > had done

<6213 <asah >, and withal how <0834 >aher > he had slain <2026

harag > all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the

sword <2719 chereb >.

2 Then Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > sent <7971 shalach > a

messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, saying

<0559 >amar >, So <3541 koh > let the gods <0430 >elohiym > do

<6213 <asah > [to me], and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh >,

if I make <7760 suwm > not thy life <5315 nephesh > as the life

<5315 nephesh > of one <0259 >echad > of them by to morrow <4279

machar > about this time <6256 <eth >.

3 And when he saw <7200 ra>ah > [that], he arose <6965 quwm >,

and went <3212 yalak > for his life <5315 nephesh >, and came

<0935 bow> > to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< >, which <0834

>aher > [belongeth] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and left <3240

yanach > his servant <5288 na<ar > there <8033 sham >.

4 But he himself <1931 huw> > went <1980 halak > a day's <3117

yowm > journey <1870 derek > into the wilderness <4057 midbar >,

and came <0935 bow> > and sat <3427 yashab > down under <8478

tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree: and he requested <7592

sha>al > for himself <5315 nephesh > that he might die <4191

<6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, take <3947 laqach > away

my life <5315 nephesh >; for I [am] not better <2896 towb > than

my fathers <1>.

5 And as he lay <7901 shakab > and slept <3462 yashen > under

<8478 tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree, behold <2009

hinneh >, then an angel <4397 mal>ak > touched <5060 naga< > him,

and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Arise <6965 quwm > [and] eat

<0398 >akal >.

6 And he looked <5027 nabat >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >,

[there was] a cake <5692 <uggah > baken on the coals <7529

retseph >, and a cruse <6835 tsappachath > of water <4325 mayim

and drink <8354 shathah >, and laid <7901 shakab > him down

<7901 shakab > again <7725 shuwb >.

7 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the second <8145 sheniy > time,

and touched <5060 naga< > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Arise

<6965 quwm > [and] eat <0398 >akal >; because <3588 kiy > the

journey <1870 derek > [is] too great <7227 rab > for thee.

8 And he arose <6965 quwm >, and did eat <0398 >akal > and

drink <8354 shathah >, and went <3212 yalak > in the strength

<3581 koach > of that meat <0396 >akiylah > forty <0705

<3915 layil > unto Horeb <2722 Choreb > the mount <2022 har > of

God <0430 >elohiym >.

9. And he came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > unto a cave

<4631 m@<arah >, and lodged <3885 luwn > there <8033 sham >; and,

behold <2009 hinneh >, the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >, Elijah <0452

10 And he said <0559 >amar >, I have been very jealous <7065

qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of

hosts <6635 tsaba> >: for the children <1121 ben > of Israel

11 And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> >, and stand <5975 <amad > upon the mount <2022 har >

before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And, behold

<2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > passed <5674 <abar > by,

and a great <1419 gadowl > and strong <2389 chazaq > wind <7307

12 And after <0310 >achar > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > a

13 And it was [so], when Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > heard <8085

said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >,

Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >?

14 And he said <0559 >amar >, I have been very jealous <7065

15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go

prophet <5030 nabiy> > in thy room <8478 tachath >.

17 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] him that

escapeth <4422 malat > the sword <2719 chereb > of Hazael <2371

Chaza>el > shall Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slay <4191 muwth >: and him

that escapeth <4422 malat > from the sword <2719 chereb > of

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > slay <4191

muwth >.

18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar > [me] seven <7651 sheba< >

thousand <0505 >eleph > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, all <3605

kol > the knees <1290 berek > which <0834 >aher > have not bowed

mouth <6310 peh > which <0834 >aher > hath not kissed <5401

nashaq > him.

19. So he departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham >, and found

<4672 matsa> > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of

Shaphat <8202 Shaphat >, who <1931 huw> > [was] plowing <2790

charash > [with] twelve yoke <6776 tsemed > [of oxen] before

<6440 paniym > him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah <0452

>Eliyah > passed <5674 <abar > by him, and cast <7993 shalak >

his mantle <0155 >addereth > upon him.

20 And he left <5800 <azab > the oxen <1241 baqar >, and ran

<7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, and

said <0559 >amar >, Let me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, kiss <5401

nashaq > my father <1> and my mother <0517 >em >, and [then] I

will follow thee. And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go <3212

yalak > back <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >: for what <4100

mah > have I done <6213 <asah > to thee?

21 And he returned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from him,

and took <3947 laqach > a yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241

baqar >, and slew <2076 zabach > them, and boiled <1310 bashal >

their flesh <1320 basar > with the instruments <3627 k@liy > of

the oxen <1241 baqar >, and gave <5414 nathan > unto the people

<5971 <am >, and they did eat <0398 >akal >. Then he arose <6965

quwm >, and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452

1Kings 20

1. And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > the king <4428 melek > of Syria

<0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > his host

<2428 chayil > together: and [there were] thirty <7970

sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > with

him, and horses <5483 cuwc >, and chariots <7393 rekeb >: and he

went <5927 <alah > up and besieged <6696 tsuwr > Samaria <8111

Shom@rown >, and warred <3898 lacham > against it.

2 And he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

into the city <5892 <iyr >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >,

3 Thy silver <3701 keceph > and thy gold <2091 zahab > [is]

mine; thy wives <0802 >ishshah > also and thy children <1121 ben

4 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, My lord <0113

>adown >, O king <4428 melek >, according to thy saying <1697

dabar >, I [am] thine, and all <3605 kol > that I have.

5 And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > came <7725 shuwb > again

<7725 shuwb >, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > speaketh

<0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >, saying <0559 >amar >,

Although <3588 kiy > I have sent <7971 shalach > unto thee,

saying <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt deliver <5414 nathan > me thy

silver <3701 keceph >, and thy gold <2091 zahab >, and thy wives

<0802 >ishshah >, and thy children <1121 ben >;

6 Yet <3588 kiy > I will send <7971 shalach > my servants <5650

<ebed > unto thee to morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256

<eth >, and they shall search <2664 chaphas > thine house <1004

bayith >, and the houses <1004 bayith > of thy servants <5650

<ebed >; and it shall be, [that] whatsoever <3605 kol > is

pleasant <4261 machmad > in thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, they shall

put <7760 suwm > [it] in their hand <3027 yad >, and take <3947

laqach > [it] away.

7 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > called

<7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of the

land <0776 >erets >, and said <0559 >amar >, Mark <3045 yada< >,

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

this <2088 zeh > [man] seeketh <1245 baqash > mischief <7451 ra<

>ishshah >, and for my children <1121 ben >, and for my silver

<3701 keceph >, and for my gold <2091 zahab >; and I denied

<4513 mana< > him not.

8 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > and all <3605

kol > the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Hearken <8085 shama< > not [unto him], nor <3808 lo> > consent

<14>.

9 Wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the messengers <4397

mal>ak > of Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >, Tell <0559 >amar > my lord

<0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, All <3605 kol > that thou

didst send <7971 shalach > for to thy servant <5650 <ebed > at

the first <7223 ri>shown > I will do <6213 <asah >: but this

<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > I may <3201 yakol > not do <6213

<asah >. And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > departed <3212 yalak

shuwb >.

10 And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > sent <7971 shalach > unto him,

and said <0559 >amar >, The gods <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah

suffice <5606 caphaq > for handfuls <8168 sho<al > for all <3605

kol > the people <5971 <am > that follow <7272 regel > me.

11 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Tell <1696 dabar

harness] boast <1984 halal > himself as he that putteth <6605

pathach > it off.

12. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when [Benhadad] heard

<8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > message <1697 dabar >, as he

[was] drinking <8354 shathah >, he and the kings <4428 melek >

in the pavilions <5521 cukkah >, that he said <0559 >amar > unto

his servants <5650 <ebed >, Set <7760 suwm > [yourselves in

array]. And they set <7760 suwm > [themselves in array] against

<5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr >.

13 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <5066 nagash > a

prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus

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

thou seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > great

<1419 gadowl > multitude <1995 hamown >? behold <2005 hen >, I

will deliver <5414 nathan > it into thine hand <3027 yad > this

<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >; and thou shalt know <3045 yada< >

that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

14 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar >, By whom <4310

miy >? And he said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [Even] by the young <5288

na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082

m@diynah >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > shall

order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah >? And he

answered <0559 >amar >, Thou.

15 Then he numbered <6485 paqad > the young <5288 na<ar > men

of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah >,

and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me>ah > and

thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > two <8147 sh@nayim >: and after <0310

>achar > them he numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > the

people <5971 <am >, [even] all <3605 kol > the children <1121

ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [being] seven <7651 sheba< >

thousand <0505 >eleph >.

16 And they went <3318 yatsa> > out at noon <6672 tsohar >. But

Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > [was] drinking <8354 shathah >

himself drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the pavilions <5521 cukkah >,

he and the kings <4428 melek >, the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym >

and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > that helped <5826

<azar > him.

17 And the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar >

of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > went <3318 yatsa> > out first

<7223 ri>shown >; and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > sent <7971

shalach > out, and they told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559

>amar >, There are men <0582 >enowsh > come <3318 yatsa> > out

of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Whether <0518 >im > they be come

<3318 yatsa> > out for peace <7965 shalowm >, take <8610 taphas

<3318 yatsa> > out for war <4421 milchamah >, take <8610 taphas

19 So these <0428 >el-leh > young <5288 na<ar > men of the

princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > came <3318

yatsa> > out of the city <5892 <iyr >, and the army <2428 chayil

20 And they slew <5221 nakah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

>iysh > his man <0376 >iysh >: and the Syrians <0758 >Aram >

fled <5127 nuwc >; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291

radaph > them: and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > the king <4428

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > escaped <4422 malat > on <5921

<al > an horse <5483 cuwc > with the horsemen <6571 parash >.

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

<3318 yatsa> > out, and smote <5221 nakah > the horses <5483

cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb >, and slew <5221 nakah > the

Syrians <0758 >Aram > with a great <1419 gadowl > slaughter

<4347 makkah >.

22. And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > to the

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said <0559

>amar > unto him, Go <3212 yalak >, strengthen <2388 chazaq >

thyself, and mark <3045 yada< >, and see <7200 ra>ah > what thou

doest <6213 <asah >: for at the return <8666 t@shuwbah > of the

year <8141 shaneh > the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king <4428 melek > of

Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Their gods

<0430 >elohiym > [are] gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022

let us fight <3898 lacham > against them in the plain <4334

miyshowr >, and surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388

chazaq > than they.

24 And do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >,

Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away, every <0376

put <7760 suwm > captains <6346 pechah > in their rooms <8478

tachath >:

25 And number <4487 manah > thee an army <2428 chayil >, like

the army <2428 chayil > that thou hast lost <5307 naphal >,

horse <5483 cuwc > for horse <5483 cuwc >, and chariot <7393

rekeb > for chariot <7393 rekeb >: and we will fight <3898

lacham > against them in the plain <4334 miyshowr >, [and]

surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they.

And he hearkened <8085 shama< > unto their voice <6963 qowl >,

and did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.

26 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the return <8666

t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh >, that Benhadad <1130 Ben-

Hadad > numbered <6485 paqad > the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and

went <5927 <alah > up to Aphek <0663 >Apheq >, to fight <4421

milchamah > against <5973 <im > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

27 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were

numbered <6485 paqad >, and were all present <3557 kuwl >, and

went <3212 yalak > against <7125 qir>ah > them: and the children

<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pitched <2583 chanah >

before <5048 neged > them like two <8147 sh@nayim > little <2835

chasiph > flocks <2835 chasiph > of kids <5795 <ez >; but the

Syrians <0758 >Aram > filled <4390 male> > the country <0776

28 And there came <5066 nagash > a man <0376 >iysh > of God

<0430 >elohiym >, and spake <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said, Thus <3541 koh >

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

Syrians <0758 >Aram > have said <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068

Y@hovah > [is] God <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022 har >,

but he [is] not God <0430 >elohiym > of the valleys <6010 <emeq

yad >, and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >.

29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over

<5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other <0428 >el-leh >

seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm >. And [so] it was, that in

the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > day <3117 yowm > the battle <4421

milchamah > was joined <7126 qarab >: and the children <1121 ben

<0758 >Aram > an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph >

footmen <7273 ragliy > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm >.

30 But the rest <3498 yathar > fled <5127 nuwc > to Aphek <0663

>Apheq >, into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr >; and [there] a

wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon twenty <6242

<esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > of

the men <0376 >iysh > [that were] left <3498 yathar >. And

Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > fled <5127 nuwc >, and came <0935

bow> > into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr >, into <0413 >el >

an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder >.

31. And his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, we have heard <8085

shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > of the house <1004 bayith

<4428 melek >: let us, I pray <4994 na> > thee, put <7760 suwm >

sackcloth <8242 saq > on our loins <4975 mothen >, and ropes

<2256 chebel > upon our heads <7218 ro>sh >, and go <3318 yatsa>

peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will save <2421 chayah > thy life

<5315 nephesh >.

32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on their

loins <4975 mothen >, and [put] ropes <2256 chebel > on their

heads <7218 ro>sh >, and came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428

melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said <0559 >amar >, Thy

servant <5650 <ebed > Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > saith <0559

>amar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let me live <2421 chayah >.

And he said <0559 >amar >, [Is] he yet <3588 kiy > alive <2416

chay >? he [is] my brother <0251 >ach >.

33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently <5172 nachash >

observe <5172 nachash > whether [any thing would come] from him,

and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat > [it]: and

they said <0559 >amar >, Thy brother <0251 >ach > Benhadad <1130

Ben-Hadad >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <0935 bow> > ye,

bring <3947 laqach > him. Then Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > came

<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to him; and he caused him to

come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al > the chariot <4818

merkabah >.

34 And [Benhadad] said <0559 >amar > unto him, The cities <5892

<iyr >, which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took <3947 laqach >

from thy father <1>, I will restore <7725 shuwb >; and thou

shalt make <7760 suwm > streets <2351 chuwts > for thee in

Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, as my father <1> made <7760 suwm > in

Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. Then [said Ahab], I will send <7971

shalach > thee away with this covenant <1285 b@riyth >. So he

made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with him, and

sent <7971 shalach > him away.

35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons

<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar >

unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Smite <5221 nakah > me, I pray <4994 na> >

thee. And the man <0376 >iysh > refused <3985 ma>en > to smite

<5221 nakah > him.

36 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto him, Because thou hast not

obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, as soon as thou art departed

<1980 halak > from me, a lion <0738 >ariy > shall slay <5221

nakah > thee. And as soon as he was departed <3212 yalak > from

him, a lion <0738 >ariy > found <4672 matsa> > him, and slew

<5221 nakah > him.

37 Then he found <4672 matsa> > another <0312 >acher > man

<0376 >iysh >, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221 nakah > me, I

pray <4994 na> > thee. And the man <0376 >iysh > smote <5221

nakah > him, so that in smiting <5221 nakah > he wounded <6481

patsa< > [him].

38 So the prophet <5030 nabiy> > departed <3212 yalak >, and

waited <5975 <amad > for the king <4428 melek > by the way <1870

derek >, and disguised <2664 chaphas > himself with ashes <0665

>epher > upon his face <5869 <ayin >.

39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 <abar > by, he

cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek >: and he said

<0559 >amar >, Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318 yatsa> > out

into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421 milchamah >;

and, behold <2009 hinneh >, a man <0376 >iysh > turned <5493

cuwr > aside, and brought <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > unto

me, and said <0559 >amar >, Keep <8104 shamar > this <2088 zeh >

man <0376 >iysh >: if <0518 >im > by any means he be missing

<6485 paqad >, then shall thy life <5315 nephesh > be for his

41 And he hasted <4116 mahar >, and took the ashes <0665 >epher

<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned <5234 nakar >

him that he [was] of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.

42 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith

thou hast let go <7971 shalach > out of [thy] hand <3027 yad > a

people <5971 <am > for his people <5971 <am >.

43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went

displeased <2198 za<eph >, and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria

1Kings 21

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > these

<0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, [that] Naboth <5022

Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had <1961 hayah > a

heykal > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown >.

2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth

<5022 Nabowth >, saying <0559 >amar >, Give <5414 nathan > me

thy vineyard <3754 kerem >, that I may have <1961 hayah > it for

a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq >, because <3588 kiy >

it [is] near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004 bayith >: and I

will give <5414 nathan > thee for it a better <2896 towb >

vineyard <3754 kerem > than it; [or <0176 >ow >], if <0518 >im >

it seem good <2896 towb > to thee, I will give <5414 nathan >

thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in money <3701 keceph >.

3 And Naboth <5022 Nabowth > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > forbid <2486 chaliylah > it

me, that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance <5159

4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >

his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198

za<eph > because <5921 <al > of the word <1697 dabar > which

<0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158

Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him: for he had said

<0559 >amar >, I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the

inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1>. And he laid

<7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah

would eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem >.

5. But Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > came

<0935 bow> > to him, and said <1696 dabar > unto him, Why <4100

mah > is thy spirit <7307 ruwach > so sad <5620 car >, that thou

eatest <0398 >akal > no <0369 >ayin > bread <3899 lechem >?

6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her, Because <3588 kiy > I

spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite

<3158 Yizr@<e>liy >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Give <5414

nathan > me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > for money <3701 keceph >;

or else, if <0518 >im > it please <2655 chaphets > thee, I will

give <5414 nathan > thee [another] vineyard <3754 kerem > for it:

and he answered <0559 >amar >, I will not give <5414 nathan >

thee my vineyard <3754 kerem >.

7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > said

<0559 >amar > unto him, Dost thou now <6258 <attah > govern

<6213 <asah > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el >? arise <6965 quwm >, [and] eat <0398 >akal > bread

yatab >: I will give <5414 nathan > thee the vineyard <3754

kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158

Yizr@<e>liy >.

8 So she wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher > in Ahab's

[them] with his seal <2368 chowtham >, and sent <7971 shalach >

the letters <5612 cepher > unto the elders <2205 zaqen > and to

the nobles <2715 chor > that [were] in his city <5892 <iyr >,

dwelling <3427 yashab > with Naboth <5022 Nabowth >.

9 And she wrote <3789 kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm

against him, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou didst blaspheme <1288

[then] carry <3318 yatsa> > him out, and stone <5619 caqal > him,

that he may die <4191 muwth >.

11 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of his city <5892 <iyr >, [even]

the elders <2205 zaqen > and the nobles <2715 chor > who <0834

>aher > were the inhabitants <3427 yashab > in his city <5892

<iyr >, did <6213 <asah > as Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > had sent

kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > she

had sent <7971 shalach > unto them.

12 They proclaimed <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm >, and set

<3427 yashab > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > on high <7218 ro>sh >

among the people <5971 <am >.

13 And there came <0935 bow> > in two <8147 sh@nayim > men

<0582 >enowsh >, children <1121 ben > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al

<0582 >enowsh > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al > witnessed <5749 <uwd

presence <5048 neged > of the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559

>amar >, Naboth <5022 Nabowth > did blaspheme <1288 barak > God

<0430 >elohiym > and the king <4428 melek >. Then they carried

<3318 yatsa> > him forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the city <5892

<iyr >, and stoned <5619 caqal > him with stones <68>, that he

died <4191 muwth >.

14 Then they sent <7971 shalach > to Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is stoned <5619

caqal >, and is dead <4191 muwth >.

15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jezebel <0348

>Iyzebel > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth > was

stoned <5619 caqal >, and was dead <4191 muwth >, that Jezebel

Arise <6965 quwm >, take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash

dead <4191 muwth >.

16 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > Ahab

<0256 >Ach>ab > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth >

was dead <4191 muwth >, that Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > rose <6965

<3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158

Yizr@<e>liy >, to take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash >

of it.

17. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664

Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >,

vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, whither he is

gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to possess <3423 yarash >

it.

19 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > unto him, saying <0559

Y@hovah >, Hast thou killed <7523 ratsach >, and also <1571 gam

dogs <3611 keleb > lick <3952 laqaq > thy blood <1818 dam >,

even <1571 gam > thine <0859 >attah >.

20 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > to Elijah <0452

>Eliyah >, Hast thou found <4672 matsa> > me, O mine enemy <0341

<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

21 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra<

<0310 >achar >, and will cut <3772 karath > off from Ahab <0256

<7023 qiyr >, and him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left

<5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,

22 And will make <5414 nathan > thine house <1004 bayith > like

the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son

<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and like the house <1004

bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah

<0834 >aher > thou hast provoked [me] to anger <3707 ka<ac >,

and made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.

23 And of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > also <1571 gam > spake <1696

24 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > in the

city <5892 <iyr > the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal >;

and him that dieth <4191 muwth > in the field <7704 sadeh >

shall the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air <8064 shamayim > eat

25 But there was none <3808 lo> > like unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

<6213 <asah > wickedness <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, whom <0834 >aher > Jezebel <0348

>Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > stirred <5496 cuwth > up.

26 And he did very <3966 m@<od > abominably <8581 ta<ab > in

following idols <1544 gilluwl >, according to all <3605 kol >

[things] as did <6213 <asah > the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy >, whom

before <6440 paniym > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el >.

27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >

heard <8085 shama< > those <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >,

that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and put

and fasted <6684 tsuwm >, and lay <7901 shakab > in sackcloth

<8242 saq >, and went <1980 halak > softly <0328 >at >.

28 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664

because <3588 kiy > he humbleth <3665 kana< > himself before

upon his house <1004 bayith >.

1Kings 22

1. And they continued <3427 yashab > three <7969 shalowsh >

years <8141 shaneh > without war <4421 milchamah > between <0996

beyn > Syria <0758 >Aram > and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7992

sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, that Jehoshaphat <3092

Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

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

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

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

<0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed >, Know <3045 yada<

4 And he said <0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat

5 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > unto

darash >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, at the word <1697 dabar > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to day <3117 yowm >.

6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together,

about four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh

<0559 >amar >, Go <5927 <alah > up; for the Lord <0136 >Adonay >

shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into the hand <3027 yad > of

the king <4428 melek >.

7 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar >, [Is

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

9 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > called

Hasten <4116 mahar > [hither] Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son

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

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

11 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > made <6213 <asah > him horns <7161

qeren > of iron <1270 barzel >: and he said <0559 >amar >, Thus

12 And all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied

Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >, and prosper <6743 tsalach >: for

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into

13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone <1980 halak >

shall we forbear <2308 chadal >? And he answered <0559 >amar >

him, Go <5927 <alah >, and prosper <6743 tsalach >: for the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into the hand

<3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek >.

16 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him, How

<5704 <ad > many times <6471 pa<am > shall I adjure <7650 shaba<

[that which is] true <0571 >emeth > in the name <8034 shem > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >?

17 And he said <0559 >amar >, I saw <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol

<2022 har >, as sheep <6629 tso>n > that have not a shepherd

<7462 ra<ah >: and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >,

These <0428 >el-leh > have no <3808 lo> > master <0113 >adown >:

let them return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his

house <1004 bayith > in peace <7965 shalowm >.

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

<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >, Did I not

tell <0559 >amar > thee that he would prophesy <5012 naba> > no

<3808 lo> > good <2896 towb > concerning <5921 <al > me, but

evil <7451 ra< >?

19 And he said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > thou

therefore <3651 ken > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >: I saw <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sitting

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

<3605 kol > the host of heaven <8064 shamayim > standing <5975

<amad > by him on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand and on his left

<8040 s@mo>wl >.

20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310

miy > shall persuade <6601 pathah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, that

he may go <5927 <alah > up and fall <5307 naphal > at

Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >? And one said <0559 >amar > on this

<3541 koh > manner <3541 koh >, and another <2088 zeh > said

<0559 >amar > on that manner <3541 koh >.

21 And there <8033 sham > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> > a spirit <7307 ruwach >, and stood <5975 <amad > before

<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >,

I will persuade <6601 pathah > him.

22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him,

Wherewith <4100 mah >? And he said <0559 >amar >, I will go

<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and I will be a lying <8267

sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all

yakol > also <1571 gam >: go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >,

and do <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.

23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, behold <2009 hinneh >, the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath put <5414 nathan > a lying <8267

sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all

<3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> >,

and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > evil

<7451 ra< > concerning <5921 <al > thee.

24 But Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > went <5674 <abar > near <5066 nagash

<al > the cheek <3895 l@chiy >, and said <0559 >amar >, Which

way <2088 zeh > went <5674 <abar > the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from me to speak <1696 dabar > unto

thee?

25 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar >, Behold

<2009 hinneh >, thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > in that day <3117

yowm >, when <0834 >aher > thou shalt go <0935 bow> > into an

inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > to hide <2247 chabah

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

<0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw >,

and carry <7725 shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > unto Amon <0526

>Amown > the governor <8269 sar > of the city <5892 <iyr >, and

to Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king's <4428 melek > son <1121 ben

27 And say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the king <4428 melek >, Put <7760 suwm > this <2088 zeh >

[fellow] in the prison, and feed <0398 >akal > him with bread

<3899 lechem > of affliction <3905 lachats > and with water

<4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats >, until <5704 <ad > I

come <0935 bow> > in peace <7965 shalowm >.

28 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar >, If <0518

>im > thou return <7725 shuwb > at all in peace <7965 shalowm >,

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696 dabar > by me.

And he said <0559 >amar >, Hearken <8085 shama< >, O people

<5971 <am >, every <3605 kol > one of you.

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

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

<3063 Y@huwdah > went <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead <7433

Ramowth >.

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

<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >, I will

disguise <2664 chaphas > myself, and enter <0935 bow> > into the

battle <4421 milchamah >; but put <3847 labash > thou on thy

robes <0899 beged >. And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > disguised <2664 chaphas > himself, and went <0935

bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah >.

31 But the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > commanded

<6680 tsavah > his thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147

sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > that had rule over his chariots

<7393 rekeb >, saying <0559 >amar >, Fight <3898 lacham >

neither <3808 lo> > with small <6996 qatan > nor great <1419

gadowl >, save only <0905 bad > with the king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

32 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the captains <8269

sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > saw <7200 ra>ah >

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >, that they said <0559 >amar >,

Surely <0389 >ak > it [is] the king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >. And they turned <5493 cuwr > aside to fight

<3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > him: and Jehoshaphat <3092

Y@howshaphat > cried <2199 za<aq > out.

33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the captains <8269

sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah > that

it [was] not the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,

that they turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from pursuing

<0310 >achar > him.

34 And a [certain] man <0376 >iysh > drew <4900 mashak > a bow

<7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom >, and smote <5221 nakah

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

<0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness <8302

shiryown >: wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the driver

<7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab >, Turn <2015 haphak

> thine hand <3027 yad >, and carry <3318 yatsa> > me out of the

host <4264 machaneh >; for I am wounded <2470 chalah >.

35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 <alah >

that day <3117 yowm >: and the king <4428 melek > was stayed

<5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227

nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and died <4191 muwth > at

even <6153 <ereb >: and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq >

out of the wound <4347 makkah > into <0413 >el > the midst <2436

cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb >.

36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation <7440 rinnah >

throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going <0935 bow>

> down of the sun <8121 shemesh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Every

man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr >, and every man <0376

>iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets >.

37 So the king <4428 melek > died <4191 muwth >, and was

brought <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >; and they

buried <6912 qabar > the king <4428 melek > in Samaria <8111

Shom@rown >.

38 And [one] washed <7857 shataph > the chariot <7393 rekeb >

in the pool <1295 b@rekah > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >; and

the dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > up his blood <1818

dam >; and they washed <7364 rachats > his armour <2185 zonowth

Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar >.

39 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

<asah >, and the ivory <8127 shen > house <1004 bayith > which

<0834 >aher > he made <1129 banah >, and all <3605 kol > the

cities <5892 <iyr > that he built <1129 banah >, [are] they not

written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the

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

<3478 Yisra>el >?

40 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > slept <7901 shakab > with his

fathers <1>; and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben >

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

41. And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of

Asa <0609 >Aca> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year <8141

shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >.

42 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > [was] thirty <7970

sh@lowshiym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old

<1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak >; and he reigned

<4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh >

years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his

mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Azubah <5806

<Azuwbah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Shilhi <7977 Shilchiy >.

43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways

<1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1>; he turned

<5493 cuwr > not aside from it, doing <6213 <asah > [that which

was] right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >: nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high <1116 bamah >

places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >; [for] the

people <5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar

44 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made peace <7999 shalam

45 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >

that he shewed <6213 <asah >, and how <0834 >aher > he warred

<3898 lacham >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the

book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings

<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?

46 And the remnant <3499 yether > of the sodomites <6945 qadesh

>, which remained <7604 sha>ar > in the days <3117 yowm > of his

father <1> Asa <0609 >Aca> >, he took <1197 ba<ar > out of the

land <0776 >erets >.

47 [There was] then no <0369 >ayin > king <4428 melek > in Edom

<0123 >Edom >: a deputy <5324 natsab > [was] king <4428 melek >.

48 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made <6235 <eser > ships

<0591 >oniyah > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > to go <3212 yalak

went <1980 halak > not; for the ships <0591 >oniyah > were

broken <7665 shabar > at Eziongeber <6100 <Etsyown <Etsyon Geber

49 Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah

<3092 Y@howshaphat >, Let my servants <5650 <ebed > go <3212

yalak > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the ships <0591

>oniyah >. But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > would <14> not.

50 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > slept <7901 shakab >

with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > with his

fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his

father <1>: and Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > his son <1121 ben >

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

51 Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256

>Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the seventeenth

<7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092

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

reigned <4427 malak > two years <8141 shaneh > over <5921 <al >

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

52 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869

<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked <3212 yalak > in

the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in the way <1870

derek > of his mother <0517 >em >, and in the way <1870 derek >

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

N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin

<2398 chata> >:

53 For he served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and

worshipped <7812 shachah > him, and provoked to anger <3707

ka<ac > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, according to all <3605 kol > that his father

<1> had done <6213 <asah >.
