2Kings 1
1. Then Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194
maveth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >.
2 And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > fell <5307 naphal > down
through <1157 b@<ad > a lattice <7639 s@bakah > in his upper
<5944 <aliyah > chamber <5944 <aliyah > that [was] in Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >, and was sick <2470 chalah >: and he sent
<7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and said <0559 >amar
> unto them, Go <3212 yalak >, enquire <1875 darash > of
Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron
<6138 <Eqrown > whether <0518 >im > I shall recover <2421 chayah
> of this <2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >.
3 But the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said
<1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664
Tishbiy >, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125
qir>ah > the messengers <4397 mal>ak > of the king <4428 melek >
of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and say <1696 dabar > unto them,
[Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430 >elohiym > in
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] ye go <1980 halak > to enquire
<1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430
>elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >?
4 Now therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Thou shalt not come <3381 yarad >
down <3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834
>aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up, but shalt surely <3588
kiy > die <4191 muwth >. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > departed
<3212 yalak >.
5 And when the messengers <4397 mal>ak > turned <7725 shuwb >
back <7725 shuwb > unto him, he said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Why <4100 mah > are ye now <2088 zeh > turned <7725 shuwb > back
<7725 shuwb >?
6 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, There came <5927 <alah
> a man <0376 >iysh > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > us, and said
<0559 >amar > unto us, Go <3212 yalak >, turn <7725 shuwb >
again <7725 shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > that sent <7971
shalach > you, and say <1696 dabar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [Is it] not
because [there is] not a God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, [that] thou sendest <7971 shalach > to enquire <1875
darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430
>elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >? therefore <3651 ken > thou
shalt not come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from that bed
<4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah
> up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >.
7 And he said <1696 dabar > unto them, What <4100 mah > manner
<4941 mishpat > of man <0376 >iysh > [was he] which <0834 >aher
> came <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > you, and told
<1696 dabar > you these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >?
8 And they answered <0559 >amar > him, [He was] an hairy man
<0376 >iysh >, and girt <0247 >azar > with a girdle <0232 >ezowr
> of leather <5785 <owr > about his loins <4975 mothen >. And he
said <0559 >amar >, It [is] Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite
<8664 Tishbiy >.
9. Then the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > unto him a
captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his fifty
<2572 chamishshiym >. And he went <5927 <alah > up to him: and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the
top <7218 ro>sh > of an hill <2022 har >. And he spake <1696
dabar > unto him, Thou man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >,
the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696 dabar >, Come <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad >.
10 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said
<1696 dabar > to the captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572
chamishshiym >, If <0518 >im > I [be] a man <0376 >iysh > of God
<0430 >elohiym >, then let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381 yarad >
down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consume
<0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And there
came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh > from
heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consumed <0398 >akal > him and his
fifty <2572 chamishshiym >.
11 Again <7725 shuwb > also he sent <7971 shalach > unto him
another <0312 >acher > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572
chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And he
answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > unto him, O man
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, thus <3541 koh > hath the
king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Come <3381 yarad > down
<3381 yarad > quickly <4120 m@herah >.
12 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said
<1696 dabar > unto them, If <0518 >im > I [be] a man <0376 >iysh
> of God <0430 >elohiym >, let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and
consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym >.
And the fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and
consumed <0398 >akal > him and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >.
13 And he sent <7971 shalach > again <7725 shuwb > a captain
<8269 sar > of the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > fifty <2572
chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And the
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572
chamishshiym > went <5927 <alah > up, and came <0935 bow> > and
fell <3766 kara< > on <5921 <al > his knees <1290 berek > before
<5048 neged > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, and besought <2603 chanan
> him, and said <1696 dabar > unto him, O man <0376 >iysh > of
God <0430 >elohiym >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let my life <5315
nephesh >, and the life of these <0428 >el-leh > fifty <2572
chamishshiym > thy servants <5650 <ebed >, be precious <3365
yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >.
14 Behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <3381 yarad > fire <0784
>esh > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and
burnt <0398 >akal > up the two <8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269
sar > of the former <7223 ri>shown > fifties <2572 chamishshiym
> with their fifties <2572 chamishshiym >: therefore let my life
<5315 nephesh > now <6258 <attah > be precious <3365 yaqar > in
thy sight <5869 <ayin >.
15 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
said <1696 dabar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, Go <3381 yarad >
down <3381 yarad > with him: be not afraid <3372 yare> > of him.
And he arose <6965 quwm >, and went <3381 yarad > down <3381
yarad > with him unto the king <4428 melek >.
16 And he said <1696 dabar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Forasmuch as thou hast
sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to enquire <1875
darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430
>elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >, [is it] not because [there
is] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478
Yisra>el > to enquire <1875 darash > of his word <1697 dabar >?
therefore thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >
off that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher > thou art gone
<5927 <alah > up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >.
17 So he died <4191 muwth > according to the word <1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > Elijah <0452
>Eliyah > had spoken <1696 dabar >. And Jehoram <3088 Y@howram >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > in the second
<8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoram <3088 Y@howram >
the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; because <3588 kiy > he
had <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > son <1121 ben >.
18 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah
>, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612
cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?
2Kings 2
1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > would take <5927 <alah > up Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >
into heaven <8064 shamayim > by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar >, that
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > with Elisha <0477
>Eliysha< > from Gilgal <1537 Gilgal >.
2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha
<0477 >Eliysha< >, Tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh >, I pray
<4994 na> > thee; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971
shalach > me to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >. And Elisha <0477
>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > [unto him, As] the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh >
liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. So
they went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to Bethel <1008 Beyth-
>El >.
3 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that
[were] at Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > came <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, and said <0559 >amar
> unto him, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > will take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown
> from thy head <7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm >? And he said
<0559 >amar >, Yea <1571 gam >, I know <3045 yada< > [it]; hold
<2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 chashah >.
4 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh >,
I pray <4994 na> > thee; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent
<7971 shalach > me to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >. And he said
<0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >,
and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will
not leave <5800 <azab > thee. So they came <0935 bow> > to
Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >.
5 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that
[were] at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > came <5066 nagash > to
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will
take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown > from thy head
<7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm >? And he answered <0559 >amar >,
Yea <1571 gam >, I know <3045 yada< > [it]; hold <2814 chashah
> ye your peace <2814 chashah >.
6 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Tarry
<3427 yashab >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, here <6311 poh >; for
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Jordan
<3383 Yarden >. And he said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh >
liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. And
they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <3212 yalak > on.
7 And fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > of the sons
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > went <1980 halak >,
and stood <5975 <amad > to view <5048 neged > afar <7350 rachowq
> off: and they two <8147 sh@nayim > stood <5975 <amad > by
Jordan <3383 Yarden >.
8 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > his mantle
<0155 >addereth >, and wrapped <1563 galam > [it] together, and
smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, and they were
divided <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah >, so
that they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <5674 <abar > over <5674
<abar > on dry <2724 charabah > ground.
9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they were gone <5674
<abar > over <5674 <abar >, that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said
<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Ask <7592 sha>al >
what <4100 mah > I shall do <6213 <asah > for thee, before <2962
terem > I be taken <3947 laqach > away from thee. And Elisha
<0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee,
let a double <8147 sh@nayim > portion <6310 peh > of thy spirit
<7307 ruwach > be upon me.
10 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thou hast asked <7592 sha>al > a
hard <7185 qashah > thing: [nevertheless], if <0518 >im > thou
see <7200 ra>ah > me [when I am] taken <3947 laqach > from thee,
it shall be so <3651 ken > unto thee; but if <0518 >im > not, it
shall not be [so].
11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they still went <1980
halak > on, and talked <1696 dabar >, that, behold <2009 hinneh
>, [there appeared] a chariot <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh >,
and horses <5483 cuwc > of fire <0784 >esh >, and parted <6504
parad > them both <8147 sh@nayim > asunder <0996 beyn >; and
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <5927 <alah > up by a whirlwind
<5591 ca<ar > into heaven <8064 shamayim >.
12 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it], and he
cried <6817 tsa<aq >, My father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot
<7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and the horsemen <6571
parash > thereof. And he saw <7200 ra>ah > him no <3808 lo> >
more <5750 <owd >: and he took hold <2388 chazaq > of his own
<0249 >ezrach > clothes <0899 beged >, and rent <7167 qara< >
them in two <8147 sh@nayim > pieces <7168 qera< >.
13. He took <7311 ruwm > up also the mantle <0155 >addereth >
of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him, and
went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >, and stood <5975 <amad >
by the bank <8193 saphah > of Jordan <3383 Yarden >;
14 And he took <3947 laqach > the mantle <0155 >addereth > of
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him, and
smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, and said <0559
>amar >, Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God
<0430 >elohiym > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >? and when he also had
smitten <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, they parted
<2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah >: and Elisha
<0477 >Eliysha< > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar >.
15 And when the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >
which <0834 >aher > [were] to view <5048 neged > at Jericho
<3405 Y@riychow > saw <7200 ra>ah > him, they said <0559 >amar >,
The spirit <7307 ruwach > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > doth rest
<5117 nuwach > on <5921 <al > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >. And they
came <0935 bow> > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and bowed <7812
shachah > themselves to the ground <0776 >erets > before him.
16 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Behold <2009 hinneh >
now <4994 na> >, there be with thy servants <5650 <ebed > fifty
<2572 chamishshiym > strong <2428 chayil > men; let them go
<3212 yalak >, we pray <4994 na> > thee, and seek <1245 baqash >
thy master <0113 >adown >: lest <6435 pen > peradventure the
Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath taken
<5375 nasa> > him up, and cast <7993 shalak > him upon some
<0259 >echad > mountain <2022 har >, or <0176 >ow > into some
<0259 >echad > valley <1516 gay> >. And he said <0559 >amar >,
Ye shall not send <7971 shalach >.
17 And when they urged <6484 patsar > him till <5704 <ad > he
was ashamed <0954 buwsh >, he said <0559 >amar >, Send <7971
shalach >. They sent <7971 shalach > therefore fifty <2572
chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh >; and they sought <1245 baqash >
three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm >, but found <4672 matsa>
> him not.
18 And when they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to him,
(for he tarried <3427 yashab > at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >,) he
said <0559 >amar > unto them, Did I not say <0559 >amar > unto
you, Go <3212 yalak > not?
19. And the men <0582 >enowsh > of the city <5892 <iyr > said
<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Behold <2009 hinneh
>, I pray <4994 na> > thee, the situation <4186 mowshab > of
this <2088 zeh > city <5892 <iyr > [is] pleasant <2896 towb >,
as my lord <0113 >adown > seeth <7200 ra>ah >: but the water
<4325 mayim > [is] naught <7451 ra< >, and the ground <0776
>erets > barren <7921 shakol >.
20 And he said <0559 >amar >, Bring <3947 laqach > me a new
<2319 chadash > cruse <6746 ts@lochiyth >, and put <7760 suwm >
salt <4417 melach > therein <8033 sham >. And they brought <0935
bow> > [it] to him.
21 And he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the
spring <4161 mowtsa> > of the waters <4325 mayim >, and cast
<7993 shalak > the salt <4417 melach > in there, and said <0559
>amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, I have healed <7495 rapha> > these <0428 >el-leh >
waters <4325 mayim >; there shall not be from thence <8033 sham
> any more <5750 <owd > death <4194 maveth > or barren <7921
shakol > [land].
22 So the waters <4325 mayim > were healed <7495 rapha> > unto
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, according to the saying <1697
dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > which <0834 >aher > he spake
<1696 dabar >.
23 And he went <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > unto
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >: and as he was going <5927 <alah > up
by the way <1870 derek >, there came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > little <6996 qatan > children <5288 na<ar > out of the
city <5892 <iyr >, and mocked <7046 qalac > him, and said <0559
>amar > unto him, Go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach >
head; go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach > head.
24 And he turned <6437 panah > back <0310 >achar >, and looked
<7200 ra>ah > on them, and cursed <7043 qalal > them in the name
<8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And there came <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > two <8147 sh@nayim > she bears
<1677 dob > out of the wood <3293 ya<ar >, and tare <1234 baqa<
> forty <0705 >arba<iym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > children
<3206 yeled > of them.
25 And he went <3212 yalak > from thence <8033 sham > to mount
<2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and from thence <8033 sham >
he returned <7725 shuwb > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
2Kings 3
1. Now Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the
eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat
> king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned
<4427 malak > twelve years <8141 shaneh >.
2 And he wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight
<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; but not like his
father <1>, and like his mother <0517 >em >: for he put <5493
cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal
<1168 Ba<al > that his father <1> had made <6213 <asah >.
3 Nevertheless <7535 raq > he cleaved <1692 dabaq > unto the
sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son
<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, which <0834 >aher > made
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >; he departed <5493
cuwr > not therefrom.
4 And Mesha <4337 Meysha< > king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124
Mow>ab > was a sheepmaster <5349 noqed >, and rendered <7725
shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > lambs <3733 kar
>, and an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > rams
<0352 >ayil >, with the wool <6785 tsemer >.
5 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >
was dead <4194 maveth >, that the king <4428 melek > of Moab
<4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against the king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
6. And king <4428 melek > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > went <3318
yatsa> > out of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the same <1931 huw> >
time <3117 yowm >, and numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
7 And he went <3212 yalak > and sent <7971 shalach > to
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >, The king <4428 melek >
of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath rebelled <6586 pasha< > against me:
wilt thou go <3212 yalak > with me against <0413 >el > Moab
<4124 Mow>ab > to battle <4421 milchamah >? And he said <0559
>amar >, I will go <5927 <alah > up: I [am] as thou [art], my
people <5971 <am > as thy people <5971 <am >, [and] my horses
<5483 cuwc > as thy horses <5483 cuwc >.
8 And he said <0559 >amar >, Which way <1870 derek > shall we
go <5927 <alah > up? And he answered <0559 >amar >, The way
<1870 derek > through the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Edom
<0123 >Edom >.
9 So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went
<3212 yalak >, and the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, and the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom >:
and they fetched a compass <5437 cabab > of seven <7651 sheba< >
days <3117 yowm >' journey <1870 derek >: and there was no <3808
lo> > water <4325 mayim > for the host <4264 machaneh >, and for
the cattle <0929 b@hemah > that followed <7272 regel > them.
10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said
<0559 >amar >, Alas <0160 >ahabah >! that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> hath called <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969
shalowsh > kings <4428 melek > together, to deliver <5414 nathan
> them into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >!
11 But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar >, [Is
there] not here <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, that we may enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > by him? And one <0259 >echad > of the king <4428
melek > of Israel's <3478 Yisra>el > servants <5650 <ebed >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Here <6311 poh >
[is] Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat
<8202 Shaphat >, which <0834 >aher > poured <3332 yatsaq > water
<4325 mayim > on <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of Elijah
<0452 >Eliyah >.
12 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar >, The
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is with him. So
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > and the king <4428 melek > of
Edom <0123 >Edom > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him.
13 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto the
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, What <4100 mah >
have I to do with thee? get <3212 yalak > thee to the prophets
<5030 nabiy> > of thy father <1>, and to the prophets <5030
nabiy> > of thy mother <0517 >em >. And the king <4428 melek >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Nay
<0408 >al >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121
qara> > these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > kings <4428
melek > together, to deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand
<3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.
14 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416 chay >,
before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad >,
surely <3588 kiy >, were it not that I regard <5375 nasa> > the
presence <6440 paniym > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, I would not look
<5027 nabat > toward <0413 >el > thee, nor <0518 >im > see <7200
ra>ah > thee.
15 But now <6258 <attah > bring <3947 laqach > me a minstrel
<5059 nagan >. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the
minstrel <5059 nagan > played <5059 nagan >, that the hand <3027
yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > upon him.
16 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Make <6213 <asah > this <2088
zeh > valley <5158 nachal > full of ditches <1356 geb >.
17 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Ye shall not see <7200 ra>ah > wind <7307 ruwach >,
neither <3808 lo> > shall ye see <7200 ra>ah > rain <1653 geshem
>; yet that valley <5158 nachal > shall be filled <4390 male> >
with water <4325 mayim >, that ye may drink <8354 shathah >,
both ye, and your cattle <4735 miqneh >, and your beasts <0929
b@hemah >.
18 And this <2063 zo>th > is [but] a light <7043 qalal > thing
in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: he will
deliver <5414 nathan > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > also into
your hand <3027 yad >.
19 And ye shall smite <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > fenced
<4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >, and every <3605 kol > choice
<4005 mibchar > city <5892 <iyr >, and shall fell <5307 naphal >
every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > tree <6086 <ets >, and stop
<5640 catham > all <3605 kol > wells <4599 ma<yan > of water
<4325 mayim >, and mar <3510 ka>ab > every <3605 kol > good
<2896 towb > piece <2513 chelqah > of land with stones <68>.
20. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242
boqer >, when the meat offering <4503 minchah > was offered
<5927 <alah >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <0935
bow> > water <4325 mayim > by the way <1870 derek > of Edom
<0123 >Edom >, and the country <0776 >erets > was filled <4390
male> > with water <4325 mayim >.
21 And when all <3605 kol > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > heard
<8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > were come <5927
<alah > up to fight <3898 lacham > against them, they gathered
<6817 tsa<aq > all <3605 kol > that were able <2296 chagar > to
put <2296 chagar > on armour <2290 chagowr >, and upward <4605
ma<al >, and stood <5975 <amad > in the border <1366 g@buwl >.
22 And they rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in the
morning <1242 boqer >, and the sun <8121 shemesh > shone <2224
zarach > upon the water <4325 mayim >, and the Moabites <4124
Mow>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > the water <4325 mayim > on the other
<5048 neged > side <5048 neged > [as] red <0122 >adom > as blood
<1818 dam >:
23 And they said <0559 >amar >, This <2088 zeh > [is] blood
<1818 dam >: the kings <4428 melek > are surely slain <2717
charab >, and they have smitten <5221 nakah > one <0376 >iysh >
another <7453 rea< >: now <6258 <attah > therefore, Moab <4124
Mow>ab >, to the spoil <7998 shalal >.
24 And when they came <0935 bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > rose
<6965 quwm > up and smote <5221 nakah > the Moabites <4124
Mow>ab >, so that they fled <5127 nuwc > before <6440 paniym >
them: but they went <5221 nakah > forward smiting <5221 nakah >
the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab >, even in [their] country.
25 And they beat <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > the cities
<5892 <iyr >, and on every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece
<2513 chelqah > of land cast <7993 shalak > every man <0376
>iysh > his stone <68>, and filled <4390 male> > it; and they
stopped <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > the wells <4599 ma<yan >
of water <4325 mayim >, and felled <5307 naphal > all <3605 kol
> the good <2896 towb > trees <6086 <ets >: only in Kirharaseth
<7025 Qiyr Cheres > left <7604 sha>ar > they the stones <68>
thereof; howbeit the slingers <7051 qalla< > went <5437 cabab >
about <5437 cabab > [it], and smote <5221 nakah > it.
26 And when the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > saw
<7200 ra>ah > that the battle <4421 milchamah > was too sore
<2388 chazaq > for him, he took <3947 laqach > with him seven
<7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > that drew
<8025 shalaph > swords <2719 chereb >, to break <1234 baqa< >
through <1234 baqa< > [even] unto the king <4428 melek > of Edom
<0123 >Edom >: but they could <3201 yakol > not.
27 Then he took <3947 laqach > his eldest <1060 b@kowr > son
<1121 ben > that should have reigned <4427 malak > in his stead
<8478 tachath >, and offered <5927 <alah > him [for] a burnt
<5930 <olah > offering upon the wall <2346 chowmah >. And there
was great <1419 gadowl > indignation <7110 qetseph > against
<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and they departed <5265
naca< > from him, and returned <7725 shuwb > to [their own] land
<0776 >erets >.
2Kings 4
1. Now there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a certain <0259 >echad >
woman <0802 >ishshah > of the wives <0802 >ishshah > of the sons
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto Elisha <0477
>Eliysha< >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy servant <5650 <ebed > my
husband <0376 >iysh > is dead <4191 muwth >; and thou knowest
<3045 yada< > that thy servant <5650 <ebed > did fear <3373
yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the creditor <5383 nashah
> is come <0935 bow> > to take <3947 laqach > unto him my two
<8147 sh@nayim > sons <3206 yeled > to be bondmen <5650 <ebed >.
2 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto her,
What <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > for thee? tell <5046
nagad > me, what <4100 mah > hast <3426 yesh > thou in the house
<1004 bayith >? And she said <0559 >amar >, Thine handmaid <8198
shiphchah > hath not any <3605 kol > thing in the house <1004
bayith >, save <3467 yasha< > a pot <0610 >acuwk > of oil <8081
shemen >.
3 Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, borrow <7592
sha>al > thee vessels <3627 k@liy > abroad <2351 chuwts > of all
<3605 kol > thy neighbours <7934 shaken >, [even] empty <7385
riyq > vessels <3627 k@liy >; borrow not a few <4591 ma<at >.
4 And when thou art come <0935 bow> > in, thou shalt shut <5462
cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon thee and upon thy sons
<1121 ben >, and shalt pour <3332 yatsaq > out into <5921 <al >
all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 k@liy >, and
thou shalt set <5265 naca< > aside <5265 naca< > that which is
full <4392 male> >.
5 So she went <3212 yalak > from him, and shut <5462 cagar >
the door <1817 deleth > upon her and upon her sons <1121 ben >,
who <1992 hem > brought <5066 nagash > [the vessels] to her; and
she poured <3332 yatsaq > out.
6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the vessels <3627
k@liy > were full <4390 male> >, that she said <0559 >amar >
unto her son <1121 ben >, Bring <5066 nagash > me yet a vessel
<3627 k@liy >. And he said <0559 >amar > unto her, [There is]
not a vessel <3627 k@liy > more <5750 <owd >. And the oil <8081
shemen > stayed <5975 <amad >.
7 Then she came <0935 bow> > and told <5046 nagad > the man
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >. And he said <0559 >amar >,
Go <3212 yalak >, sell <4376 makar > the oil <8081 shemen >,
and pay <7999 shalam > thy debt <5386 n@shiy >, and live <2421
chayah > thou and thy children <1121 ben > of the rest <3498
yathar >.
8. And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that Elisha
<0477 >Eliysha< > passed <5674 <abar > to Shunem <7766 Shuwnem >,
where <8033 sham > [was] a great <1419 gadowl > woman <0802
>ishshah >; and she constrained <2388 chazaq > him to eat <0398
>akal > bread <3899 lechem >. And [so] it was, [that] as oft
<1767 day > as he passed <5674 <abar > by, he turned <5493 cuwr
> in thither <8033 sham > to eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899
lechem >.
9 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >,
Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, I perceive <3045 yada< >
that this <1931 huw> > [is] an holy <6918 qadowsh > man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which passeth <5674 <abar > by
us continually <8548 tamiyd >.
10 Let us make <6213 <asah > a little <6996 qatan > chamber
<5944 <aliyah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, on the wall <7023 qiyr
>; and let us set <7760 suwm > for him there <8033 sham > a bed
<4296 mittah >, and a table <7979 shulchan >, and a stool <3678
kicce> >, and a candlestick <4501 m@nowrah >: and it shall be,
when he cometh <0935 bow> > to us, that he shall turn <5493 cuwr
> in thither <8033 sham >.
11 And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he
came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham >, and he turned <5493 cuwr
> into <0413 >el > the chamber <5944 <aliyah >, and lay <7901
shakab > there <8033 sham >.
12 And he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his
servant <5288 na<ar >, Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th >
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >. And when he had called <7121
qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him.
13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Say <0559 >amar > now
<4994 na> > unto her, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast been
careful <2729 charad > for us with all <3605 kol > this <2063
zo>th > care <2731 charadah >; what <4100 mah > [is] to be done
<6213 <asah > for thee? wouldest <3426 yesh > thou be spoken
<1696 dabar > for to the king <4428 melek >, or <0176 >ow > to
the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >? And she
answered <0559 >amar >, I dwell <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek
> mine own people <5971 <am >.
14 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > then [is] to be
done <6213 <asah > for her? And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >
answered <0559 >amar >, Verily <61> she hath no <0369 >ayin >
child <1121 ben >, and her husband <0376 >iysh > is old <2204
zaqen >.
15 And he said <0559 >amar >, Call <7121 qara> > her. And when
he had called <7121 qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > in the
door <6607 pethach >.
16 And he said <0559 >amar >, About this <2088 zeh > season
<4150 mow<ed >, according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416
chay >, thou shalt embrace <2263 chabaq > a son <1121 ben >. And
she said <0559 >amar >, Nay <0408 >al >, my lord <0113 >adown >,
[thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, do not lie
<3576 kazab > unto thine handmaid <8198 shiphchah >.
17 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > conceived <2030 hareh >, and
bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > at that season <4150 mow<ed
> that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > had said <1696 dabar > unto her,
according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416 chay >.
18. And when the child <3206 yeled > was grown <1431 gadal >,
it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he went <3318
yatsa> > out to his father <1> to the reapers <7114 qatsar >.
19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his father <1>, My head <7218
ro>sh >, my head <7218 ro>sh >. And he said <0559 >amar > to a
lad <5288 na<ar >, Carry <5375 nasa> > him to his mother <0517

20 And when he had taken <5375 nasa> > him, and brought <0935
bow> > him to his mother <0517 >em >, he sat <3427 yashab > on
<5921 <al > her knees <1290 berek > till <5704 <ad > noon <6672
tsohar >, and [then] died <4191 muwth >.
21 And she went <5927 <alah > up, and laid <7901 shakab > him
on <5921 <al > the bed <4296 mittah > of the man <0376 >iysh >
of God <0430 >elohiym >, and shut <5462 cagar > [the door] upon
him, and went <3318 yatsa> > out.
22 And she called <7121 qara> > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >,
and said <0559 >amar >, Send <7971 shalach > me, I pray <4994
na> > thee, one <0259 >echad > of the young <5288 na<ar > men,
and one <0259 >echad > of the asses <0860 >athown >, that I may
run <7323 ruwts > to the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym
>, and come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >.
23 And he said <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > wilt
thou go <1980 halak > to him to day <3117 yowm >? [it is]
neither <3808 lo> > new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh >,
nor <3808 lo> > sabbath <7676 shabbath >. And she said <0559
>amar >, [It shall be] well <7965 shalowm >.
24 Then she saddled <2280 chabash > an ass <0860 >athown >, and
said <0559 >amar > to her servant <5288 na<ar >, Drive <5090
nahag >, and go <3212 yalak > forward; slack <6113 <atsar > not
[thy] riding <7392 rakab > for me, except I bid <0559 >amar >
thee.
25 So she went <3212 yalak > and came <0935 bow> > unto the man
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > to mount <2022 har >
Carmel <3760 Karmel >. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when
the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > saw <7200 ra>ah >
her afar <7350 rachowq > off, that he said <0559 >amar > to
Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his servant <5288 na<ar >, Behold <2009
hinneh >, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >:
26 Run <7323 ruwts > now <6258 <attah >, I pray <4994 na> >
thee, to meet <7125 qir>ah > her, and say <0559 >amar > unto her,
[Is it] well <7965 shalowm > with thee? [is it] well <7965
shalowm > with thy husband <0376 >iysh >? [is it] well <7965
shalowm > with the child <3206 yeled >? And she answered <0559
>amar >, [It is] well <7965 shalowm >.
27 And when she came <0935 bow> > to the man <0376 >iysh > of
God <0430 >elohiym > to the hill <2022 har >, she caught <2388
chazaq > him by the feet <7272 regel >: but Gehazi <1522
Geychaziy > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > to thrust
<1920 Hadaph > her away. And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430
>elohiym > said <0559 >amar >, Let her alone <7503 raphah >; for
her soul <5315 nephesh > [is] vexed <4843 marar > within her:
and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath hid <5956 <alam > [it] from me,
and hath not told <5046 nagad > me.
28 Then she said <0559 >amar >, Did I desire <7592 sha>al > a
son <1121 ben > of my lord <0113 >adown >? did I not say <0559
>amar >, Do not deceive <7952 shalah > me?
29 Then he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, Gird
<2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen >, and take <3947
laqach > my staff <4938 mish<enah > in thine hand <3027 yad >,
and go <3212 yalak > thy way <1870 derek >: if <3588 kiy > thou
meet <4672 matsa> > any man <0376 >iysh >, salute <1288 barak >
him not; and if <3588 kiy > any <0376 >iysh > salute <1288 barak

my staff <4938 mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the
child <5288 na<ar >.
30 And the mother <0517 >em > of the child <5288 na<ar > said
<0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >,
and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will
not leave <5800 <azab > thee. And he arose <6965 quwm >, and
followed her.
31 And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > passed <5674 <abar > on before
<6440 paniym > them, and laid <7760 suwm > the staff <4938
mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the child <5288
na<ar >; but [there was] neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl

<7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him,
and told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, The child
<5288 na<ar > is not awaked <6974 quwts >.
32 And when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was come <0935 bow> > into
the house <1004 bayith >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the child <5288
na<ar > was dead <4191 muwth >, [and] laid <7901 shakab > upon
his bed <4296 mittah >.
33 He went <0935 bow> > in therefore, and shut <5462 cagar >
the door <1817 deleth > upon them twain <8147 sh@nayim >, and
prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
34 And he went <5927 <alah > up, and lay <7901 shakab > upon
the child <3206 yeled >, and put <7760 suwm > his mouth <6310
peh > upon his mouth <6310 peh >, and his eyes <5869 <ayin >
upon his eyes <5869 <ayin >, and his hands <3709 kaph > upon his
hands <3709 kaph >: and he stretched <1457 gahar > himself upon
the child <3206 yeled >; and the flesh <1320 basar > of the
child <3206 yeled > waxed warm <2552 chamam >.
35 Then he returned <7725 shuwb >, and walked <3212 yalak > in
the house <1004 bayith > to and fro; and went <5927 <alah > up,
and stretched <1457 gahar > himself upon him: and the child
<5288 na<ar > sneezed <2237 zarar > seven <7651 sheba< > times
<6471 pa<am >, and the child <5288 na<ar > opened <6491 paqach >
his eyes <5869 <ayin >.
36 And he called <7121 qara> > Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, and
said <0559 >amar >, Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th >
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >. So he called <7121 qara> > her.
And when she was come <0935 bow> > in unto him, he said <0559
>amar >, Take <5375 nasa> > up thy son <1121 ben >.
37 Then she went <0935 bow> > in, and fell <5307 naphal > at
<5921 <al > his feet <7272 regel >, and bowed <7812 shachah >
herself to the ground <0776 >erets >, and took <5375 nasa> > up
her son <1121 ben >, and went <3318 yatsa> > out.
38. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > to Gilgal <1537 Gilgal >: and [there was] a dearth <7458
ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets >; and the sons <1121 ben > of
the prophets <5030 nabiy> > [were] sitting <3427 yashab > before
<6440 paniym > him: and he said <0559 >amar > unto his servant
<5288 na<ar >, Set <8239 shaphath > on the great <1419 gadowl >
pot <5518 ciyr >, and seethe <1310 bashal > pottage <5138 naziyd

39 And one <0259 >echad > went <3318 yatsa> > out into <0413
>el > the field <7704 sadeh > to gather <3950 laqat > herbs
<0219 >owrah >, and found <4672 matsa> > a wild <7704 sadeh >
vine <1612 gephen >, and gathered <3950 laqat > thereof wild
<7704 sadeh > gourds <6498 paqqu<ah > his lap <0899 beged > full
<4393 m@lo> >, and came <0935 bow> > and shred <6398 palach >
[them] into <0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > of pottage <5138
naziyd >: for they knew <3045 yada< > [them] not.
40 So they poured <3332 yatsaq > out for the men <0582 >enowsh

they were eating <0398 >akal > of the pottage <5138 naziyd >,
that they cried <6817 tsa<aq > out, and said <0559 >amar >, O
[thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, [there is]
death <4194 maveth > in the pot <5518 ciyr >. And they could
<3201 yakol > not eat <0398 >akal > [thereof].
41 But he said <0559 >amar >, Then bring <3947 laqach > meal
<7058 qemach >. And he cast <7993 shalak > [it] into <0413 >el >
the pot <5518 ciyr >; and he said <0559 >amar >, Pour <3332
yatsaq > out for the people <5971 <am >, that they may eat <0398
>akal >. And there was no <3808 lo> > harm in the pot <5518 ciyr

42 And there came <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > from
Baalshalisha <1190 Ba<al Shalishah >, and brought <0935 bow> >
the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > bread <3899 lechem

loaves <3899 lechem > of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and full ears
<3759 karmel > of corn <3759 karmel > in the husk <6861 tsiqlon

the people <5971 <am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >.
43 And his servitor <8334 sharath > said <0559 >amar >, What
<4100 mah >, should I set <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > before
<6440 paniym > an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh >? He
said <0559 >amar > again, Give <5414 nathan > the people <5971
<am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >: for thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, They shall eat
<0398 >akal >, and shall leave <3498 yathar > [thereof].
44 So he set <5414 nathan > [it] before <6440 paniym > them,
and they did eat <0398 >akal >, and left <3498 yathar >
[thereof], according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
2Kings 5
1. Now Naaman <5283 Na<aman >, captain <8269 sar > of the host
<6635 tsaba> > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >,
was a great <1419 gadowl > man <0376 >iysh > with his master
<0113 >adown >, and honourable, because <3588 kiy > by him the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > given <5414 nathan >
deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah > unto Syria <0758 >Aram >: he was
also a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh > in valour <2428
chayil >, [but he was] a leper <6879 tsara< >.
2 And the Syrians <0758 >Aram > had gone <3318 yatsa> > out by
companies <1416 g@duwd >, and had brought <7617 shabah > away
captive <7617 shabah > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > a little <6996 qatan > maid <5291 na<arah >;
and she waited on Naaman's <5283 Na<aman > wife <0802 >ishshah >.
3 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her mistress <1404 g@bereth >,
Would <0305 >achalay > God my lord <0113 >adown > [were] with
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that [is] in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown
>! for he would recover <0622 >acaph > him of his leprosy <6883
tsara<ath >.
4 And [one] went <0935 bow> > in, and told <5046 nagad > his
lord <0113 >adown >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <2063 zo>th >
and thus <2063 zo>th > said <1696 dabar > the maid <5291 na<arah
> that [is] of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el
>.
5 And the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559
>amar >, Go <3212 yalak > to, go <0935 bow> >, and I will send
<7971 shalach > a letter <5612 cepher > unto the king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >. And he departed <3212 yalak
>, and took <3947 laqach > with him ten <6235 <eser > talents
<3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and six <8337 shesh >
thousand <0505 >eleph > [pieces] of gold <2091 zahab >, and ten
<6235 <eser > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of raiment <0899 beged

6 And he brought <0935 bow> > the letter <5612 cepher > to the
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559
>amar >, Now <6258 <attah > when this <2088 zeh > letter <5612
cepher > is come <0935 bow> > unto thee, behold <2009 hinneh >,
I have [therewith] sent <7971 shalach > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >
my servant <5650 <ebed > to thee, that thou mayest recover <0622
>acaph > him of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath >.
7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the king <4428 melek
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had read <7121 qara> > the letter
<5612 cepher >, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899
beged >, and said <0559 >amar >, [Am] I God <0430 >elohiym >, to
kill <4191 muwth > and to make alive <2421 chayah >, that this
<2088 zeh > man doth send <7971 shalach > unto me to recover
<0622 >acaph > a man <0376 >iysh > of his leprosy <6883
tsara<ath >? wherefore consider <3045 yada< >, I pray <4994 na>
> you, and see <7200 ra>ah > how <3588 kiy > he seeketh <0579
>anah > a quarrel <0579 >anah > against me.
8 And it was [so], when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had heard <8085 shama< > that
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had rent <7167
qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, that he sent <7971 shalach >
to the king <4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4100
mah > hast thou rent <7167 qara< > thy clothes <0899 beged >?
let him come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> > to me, and he shall
know <3045 yada< > that there is a prophet <5030 nabiy> > in
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
9. So Naaman <5283 Na<aman > came <0935 bow> > with his horses
<5483 cuwc > and with his chariot <7393 rekeb >, and stood <5975
<amad > at the door <6607 pethach > of the house <1004 bayith >
of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >.
10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sent <7971 shalach > a
messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Go
<1980 halak > and wash <7364 rachats > in Jordan <3383 Yarden >
seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >, and thy flesh <1320
basar > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to thee,
and thou shalt be clean <2891 taher >.
11 But Naaman <5283 Na<aman > was wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and
went <3212 yalak > away, and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009
hinneh >, I thought <0559 >amar >, He will surely come <3318
yatsa> > out to me, and stand <5975 <amad >, and call <7121
qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his
God <0430 >elohiym >, and strike <5130 nuwph > his hand <3027
yad > over <0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm >, and recover
<0622 >acaph > the leper <6879 tsara< >.
12 [Are] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554 Parpar >, rivers
<5104 nahar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, better <2896 towb >
than all <3605 kol > the waters <4325 mayim > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >? may I not wash <7364 rachats > in them, and be clean
<2891 taher >? So he turned <6437 panah > and went <3212 yalak >
away in a rage <2534 chemah >.
13 And his servants <5650 <ebed > came <5066 nagash > near
<5066 nagash >, and spake <1696 dabar > unto him, and said <0559
>amar >, My father <1>, [if] the prophet <5030 nabiy> > had bid
<1696 dabar > thee [do some] great <1419 gadowl > thing <1697
dabar >, wouldest thou not have done <6213 <asah > [it]? how
<0637 >aph > much rather then, when <3588 kiy > he saith <0559
>amar > to thee, Wash <7364 rachats >, and be clean <2891 taher
>?
14 Then went <3381 yarad > he down <3381 yarad >, and dipped
<2881 tabal > himself seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >
in Jordan <3383 Yarden >, according to the saying <1697 dabar >
of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >: and his flesh
<1320 basar > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > like unto
the flesh <1320 basar > of a little <6995 qoten > child <5288
na<ar >, and he was clean <2891 taher >.
15. And he returned <7725 shuwb > to the man <0376 >iysh > of
God <0430 >elohiym >, he and all <3605 kol > his company <4264
machaneh >, and came <0935 bow> >, and stood <5975 <amad >
before <6440 paniym > him: and he said <0559 >amar >, Behold
<2009 hinneh >, now <4994 na> > I know <3045 yada< > that [there
is] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in all <3605 kol > the
earth <0776 >erets >, but in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: now <6258
<attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, take <3947 laqach >
a blessing <1293 B@rakah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >.
16 But he said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I
stand <5975 <amad >, I will receive <3947 laqach > none. And he
urged <6484 patsar > him to take <3947 laqach > [it]; but he
refused <3985 ma>en >.
17 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar >, Shall there
not then, I pray <4994 na> > thee, be given <5414 nathan > to
thy servant <5650 <ebed > two mules <6505 pered >' burden <4853
massa> > of earth <0127 >adamah >? for thy servant <5650 <ebed >
will henceforth <5750 <owd > offer <6213 <asah > neither <3808
lo> > burnt <5930 <olah > offering nor sacrifice <2077 zebach >
unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, but unto the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
18 In this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed >,
[that] when my master <0113 >adown > goeth <0935 bow> > into the
house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown > to worship <7812
shachah > there <8033 sham >, and he leaneth <8127 shen > on
<5921 <al > my hand <3027 yad >, and I bow <7812 shachah >
myself in the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >:
when I bow <7812 shachah > down <7812 shachah > myself in the
house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >, the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed > in
this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.
19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go <3212 yalak > in
peace <7965 shalowm >. So he departed <3212 yalak > from him a
little <3530 kibrah > way <0776 >erets >.
20. But Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, the servant <5288 na<ar > of
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430
>elohiym >, said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, my master
<0113 >adown > hath spared <2820 chasak > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >
this <2088 zeh > Syrian <0761 >Arammiy >, in not receiving <3947
laqach > at his hands <3027 yad > that which <0834 >aher > he
brought <0935 bow> >: but, [as] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth
<2416 chay >, I will run <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > him,
and take <3947 laqach > somewhat <3972 m@uwmah > of him.
21 So Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > followed <7291 radaph > after
<0310 >achar > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >. And when Naaman <5283
Na<aman > saw <7200 ra>ah > [him] running <7323 ruwts > after
<0310 >achar > him, he lighted <5307 naphal > down from the
chariot <4818 merkabah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and said
<0559 >amar >, [Is] all well <7965 shalowm >?
22 And he said <0559 >amar >, All [is] well <7965 shalowm >. My
master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > me, saying <0559
>amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, even now <6258 <attah > there be
come <0935 bow> > to me from mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

of silver <3701 keceph >, and two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487
chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >.
23 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar >, Be content
<2974 ya>al >, take <3947 laqach > two talents <3603 kikkar >.
And he urged <6555 parats > him, and bound <6887 tsarar > two
<8147 sh@nayim > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >
in two <8147 sh@nayim > bags <2754 chariyt >, with two <8147
sh@nayim > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >,
and laid <5414 nathan > [them] upon two <8147 sh@nayim > of his
servants <5288 na<ar >; and they bare <5375 nasa> > [them]
before <6440 paniym > him.
24 And when he came <0935 bow> > to the tower <6076 <ophel >,
he took <3947 laqach > [them] from their hand <3027 yad >, and
bestowed <6485 paqad > [them] in the house <1004 bayith >: and
he let the men <0582 >enowsh > go <7971 shalach >, and they
departed <3212 yalak >.
25 But he went <0935 bow> > in, and stood <5975 <amad > before

>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Whence <0370 >aiyn >
[comest thou], Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >? And he said <0559 >amar

whither <0575 >an >.
26 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Went <1980 halak > not
mine heart <3820 leb > [with thee], when the man <0376 >iysh >
turned <2015 haphak > again from his chariot <4818 merkabah > to
meet <7125 qir>ah > thee? [Is it] a time <6256 <eth > to receive
<3947 laqach > money <3701 keceph >, and to receive <3947 laqach

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

shiphchah >?
27 The leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > therefore of Naaman <5283
Na<aman > shall cleave <1692 dabaq > unto thee, and unto thy
seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769 <owlam >. And he went <3318
yatsa> > out from his presence <6440 paniym > a leper <6879

2Kings 6
1. And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said
<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Behold <2009 hinneh

yashab > with thee is too strait <6862 tsar > for us.
2 Let us go <3212 yalak >, we pray <4994 na> > thee, unto
Jordan <3383 Yarden >, and take <3947 laqach > thence <8033 sham
> every man <0376 >iysh > a beam <6982 qowrah >, and let us make
<6213 <asah > us a place <4725 maqowm > there <8033 sham >,
where <8033 sham > we may dwell <3427 yashab >. And he answered
<0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > ye.
3 And one <0259 >echad > said <0559 >amar >, Be content <2974
ya>al >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, and go <3212 yalak > with thy
servants <5650 <ebed >. And he answered <0559 >amar >, I will go
<3212 yalak >.
4 So he went <3212 yalak > with them. And when they came <0935
bow> > to Jordan <3383 Yarden >, they cut <1504 gazar > down
wood <6086 <ets >.
5 But as one <0259 >echad > was felling <5307 naphal > a beam
<6982 qowrah >, the axe <1270 barzel > head <1270 barzel > fell
<5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the water <4325 mayim >: and he
cried <6817 tsa<aq >, and said <0559 >amar >, Alas <0160 >ahabah

6 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559
>amar >, Where <0575 >an > fell <5307 naphal > it? And he shewed
<7200 ra>ah > him the place <4725 maqowm >. And he cut <7094
qatsab > down a stick <6086 <ets >, and cast <7993 shalak > [it]
in thither <8033 sham >; and the iron <1270 barzel > did swim
<6687 tsuwph >.
7 Therefore said <0559 >amar > he, Take <7311 ruwm > [it] up to
thee. And he put <7971 shalach > out his hand <3027 yad >, and
took <3947 laqach > it.
8. Then the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > warred
<3898 lacham > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and took counsel
<3289 ya<ats > with his servants <5650 <ebed >, saying <0559
>amar >, In such <6423 p@loniy > and such <0492 >almoniy > a
place <4725 maqowm > [shall be] my camp <8466 tachanah >.
9 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > sent <7971
shalach > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Beware <8104 shamar > that thou pass
<5674 <abar > not such <2088 zeh > a place <4725 maqowm >; for
thither <8033 sham > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > are come <5185
nacheth > down <5181 nachath >.
10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent
<7971 shalach > to the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher >
the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > told <0559 >amar >
him and warned <2094 zahar > him of, and saved <8104 shamar >
himself there <8033 sham >, not once <0259 >echad > nor <3808
lo> > twice <8147 sh@nayim >.
11 Therefore the heart <3820 leb > of the king <4428 melek > of
Syria <0758 >Aram > was sore troubled <5590 ca<ar > for this
<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >; and he called <7121 qara> > his
servants <5650 <ebed >, and said <0559 >amar > unto them, Will
ye not shew <5046 nagad > me which <4310 miy > of us [is] for
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?
12 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > said
<0559 >amar >, None <3808 lo> >, my lord <0113 >adown >, O king
<4428 melek >: but Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, the prophet <5030
nabiy> > that [is] in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, telleth <5046
nagad > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > the
words <1697 dabar > that thou speakest <1696 dabar > in thy
bedchamber.
13. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > and spy <7200
ra>ah > where <0351 >eykoh > he [is], that I may send <7971
shalach > and fetch <3947 laqach > him. And it was told <5046
nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, [he
is] in Dothan <1886 Dothan >.
14 Therefore sent <7971 shalach > he thither <8033 sham >
horses <5483 cuwc >, and chariots <7393 rekeb >, and a great
<3515 kabed > host <2428 chayil >: and they came <0935 bow> > by
night <3915 layil >, and compassed <5362 naqaph > the city <5892
<iyr > about <5362 naqaph >.
15 And when the servant <8334 sharath > of the man <0376 >iysh

shakam >, and gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, behold
<2009 hinneh >, an host <2428 chayil > compassed <5437 cabab >
the city <5892 <iyr > both with horses <5483 cuwc > and chariots
<7393 rekeb >. And his servant <5288 na<ar > said <0559 >amar >
unto him, Alas <0160 >ahabah >, my master <0113 >adown >! how
<0349 >eyk > shall we do <6213 <asah >?
16 And he answered <0559 >amar >, Fear <3372 yare> > not: for
they that [be] with us [are] more <7227 rab > than they that
[be] with them.
17 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal >, and said
<0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee,
open <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin >, that he may see
<7200 ra>ah >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > opened <6491 paqach

saw <7200 ra>ah >: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, the mountain
<2022 har > [was] full <4390 male> > of horses <5483 cuwc > and
chariots <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh > round <5439 cabiyb >
about Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >.
18 And when they came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him,
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221 nakah >
this <2088 zeh > people <1471 gowy >, I pray <4994 na> > thee,
with blindness <5575 canver >. And he smote <5221 nakah > them
with blindness <5575 canver > according to the word <1697 dabar

19 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
This [is] not the way <1870 derek >, neither <3808 lo> > [is]
this <2090 zoh > the city <5892 <iyr >: follow me, and I will
bring <3212 yalak > you to the man <0376 >iysh > whom <0834
>aher > ye seek <1245 baqash >. But he led <3212 yalak > them to
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they were come <0935
bow> > into Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, that Elisha <0477
>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, open <6491
paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of these <0428 >el-leh > [men],
that they may see <7200 ra>ah >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
opened <6491 paqach > their eyes <5869 <ayin >, and they saw
<7200 ra>ah >; and, behold <2009 hinneh >, [they were] in the
midst <8432 tavek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said
<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, when he saw <7200
ra>ah > them, My father <1>, shall I smite <5221 nakah > [them]?
shall I smite <5221 nakah > [them]?
22 And he answered <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt not smite <5221
nakah > [them]: wouldest thou smite <5221 nakah > those whom
<0834 >aher > thou hast taken captive <7617 shabah > with thy
sword <2719 chereb > and with thy bow <7198 qesheth >? set <7760
suwm > bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > before <6440
paniym > them, that they may eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354
shathah >, and go <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 >adown >.
23 And he prepared <3739 karah > great <1419 gadowl > provision
<3740 kerah > for them: and when they had eaten <0398 >akal >
and drunk <8354 shathah >, he sent <7971 shalach > them away,
and they went <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 >adown >. So
the bands <1416 g@duwd > of Syria <0758 >Aram > came <0935 bow>

<3478 Yisra>el >.
24. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > this
<3651 ken >, that Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > king <4428 melek >
of Syria <0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol >
his host, and went <5927 <alah > up, and besieged <6696 tsuwr >
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
25 And there was a great <1419 gadowl > famine <7458 ra<ab > in
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they
besieged <6696 tsuwr > it, until <5704 <ad > an ass's <2543
chamowr > head <7218 ro>sh > was [sold] for fourscore <8084
sh@moniym > [pieces] of silver <3701 keceph >, and the fourth
<7255 roba< > part of a cab <6894 qab > of dove's <1686 dibyown

of silver <3701 keceph >.
26 And as the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > was
passing <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346 chowmah >, there
cried <6817 tsa<aq > a woman <0802 >ishshah > unto him, saying
<0559 >amar >, Help <3467 yasha< >, my lord <0113 >adown >, O
king <4428 melek >.
27 And he said <0559 >amar >, If the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > do
not help <3467 yasha< > thee, whence <0370 >aiyn > shall I help
<3467 yasha< > thee? out of the barnfloor <1637 goren >, or
<0176 >ow > out of the winepress <3342 yeqeb >?
28 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto her, What
<4100 mah > aileth thee? And she answered <0559 >amar >, This
<2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,
Give <5414 nathan > thy son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398

my son <1121 ben > to morrow <4279 machar >.
29 So we boiled <1310 bashal > my son <1121 ben >, and did eat
<0398 >akal > him: and I said <0559 >amar > unto her on the next
<0312 >acher > day <3117 yowm >, Give <5414 nathan > thy son
<1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398 >akal > him: and she hath hid
<2244> her son <1121 ben >.
30 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the king <4428 melek

<0802 >ishshah >, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899
beged >; and he passed <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346
chowmah >, and the people <5971 <am > looked <7200 ra>ah >, and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, [he had] sackcloth <8242 saq > within
<1004 bayith > upon his flesh <1320 basar >.
31 Then he said <0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > do <6213
<asah > so <3541 koh > and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh >
to me, if <0518 >im > the head <7218 ro>sh > of Elisha <0477

stand <5975 <amad > on <5921 <al > him this day <3117 yowm >.
32 But Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sat <3427 yashab > in his house
<1004 bayith >, and the elders <2205 zaqen > sat <3427 yashab >
with him; and [the king] sent <7971 shalach > a man <0376 >iysh

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

<3588 kiy > this son <1121 ben > of a murderer <7523 ratsach >
hath sent <7971 shalach > to take <5493 cuwr > away mine head

mal>ak > cometh <0935 bow> >, shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817

deleth >: [is] not the sound <6963 qowl > of his master's <0113

33 And while he yet <5750 <owd > talked <1696 dabar > with them,
behold <2009 hinneh >, the messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > unto him: and he said <0559 >amar >,
Behold <2009 hinneh >, this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > [is]
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; what <4100 mah > should I wait
<3176 yachal > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > any longer <5750
<owd >?
2Kings 7
1. Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085
shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
To morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth > [shall] a
measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > [be sold] for
a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and two measures <5429 c@>ah > of
barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, in the gate
<8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
2 Then a lord <7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher

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

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would make <6213 <asah > windows <0699
>arubbah > in heaven <8064 shamayim >, might this <2088 zeh >
thing <1697 dabar > be? And he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009
hinneh >, thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > [it] with thine eyes
<5869 <ayin >, but shalt not eat <0398 >akal > thereof.
3. And there were four <0702 >arba< > leprous <6879 tsara< >
men <0582 >enowsh > at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the
gate <8179 sha<ar >: and they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh

here <6311 poh > until <5704 <ad > we die <4191 muwth >?
4 If <0518 >im > we say <0559 >amar >, We will enter <0935 bow>

in the city <5892 <iyr >, and we shall die <4191 muwth > there
<8033 sham >: and if <0518 >im > we sit <3427 yashab > still
here <6311 poh >, we die <4191 muwth > also. Now <6258 <attah >
therefore come <3212 yalak >, and let us fall <5307 naphal >
unto the host <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >: if
<0518 >im > they save <2421 chayah > us alive <2421 chayah >, we
shall live <2421 chayah >; and if <0518 >im > they kill <4191
muwth > us, we shall but die <4191 muwth >.
5 And they rose <6965 quwm > up in the twilight <5399 nesheph >,
to go <0935 bow> > unto the camp <4264 machaneh > of the
Syrians <0758 >Aram >: and when they were come <0935 bow> > to
the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the camp <4264 machaneh >
of Syria <0758 >Aram >, behold <2009 hinneh >, [there <8033 sham

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

<6963 qowl > of chariots <7393 rekeb >, and a noise <6963 qowl >
of horses <5483 cuwc >, [even] the noise <6963 qowl > of a great
<1419 gadowl > host <2428 chayil >: and they said <0559 >amar >
one <0376 >iysh > to another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, Lo <2009 hinneh

<7936 sakar > against <5921 <al > us the kings <4428 melek > of
the Hittites <2850 Chittiy >, and the kings <4428 melek > of the
Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >, to come <0935 bow> > upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose <6965 quwm > and fled <5127 nuwc > in
the twilight <5399 nesheph >, and left <5800 <azab > their tents
<0168 >ohel >, and their horses <5483 cuwc >, and their asses
<2543 chamowr >, even the camp <4264 machaneh > as it [was], and
fled <5127 nuwc > for their life <5315 nephesh >.
8 And when <3588 kiy > these <0428 >el-leh > lepers <6879
tsara< > came <0935 bow> > to the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part
of the camp <4264 machaneh >, they went <0935 bow> > into <0413

thence <8033 sham > silver <3701 keceph >, and gold <2091 zahab

and entered <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > another <0312 >acher >
tent <0168 >ohel >, and carried <5375 nasa> > thence <8033 sham

9 Then they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another
<7453 rea< >, We do <6213 <asah > not well <3651 ken >: this
<1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > [is] a day <3117 yowm > of good

therefore come <3212 yalak >, that we may go <0935 bow> > and
tell <5046 nagad > the king's <4428 melek > household <1004

10 So they came <0935 bow> > and called <7121 qara> > unto the
porter <7778 show<er > of the city <5892 <iyr >: and they told
<5046 nagad > them, saying <0559 >amar >, We came <0935 bow> >
to the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, [there <8033 sham > was] no <0369 >ayin >
man <0376 >iysh > there <8033 sham >, neither <0369 >ayin >
voice <6963 qowl > of man <0120 >adam >, but horses <5483 cuwc >
tied <0631 >acar >, and asses <2543 chamowr > tied <0631 >acar >,
and the tents <0168 >ohel > as they [were].
11 And he called <7121 qara> > the porters <7778 show<er >; and
they told <5046 nagad > [it] to the king's <4428 melek > house
<1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah >.
12. And the king <4428 melek > arose <6965 quwm > in the night
<3915 layil >, and said <0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650
<ebed >, I will now <4994 na> > shew <5046 nagad > you what the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > have done <6213 <asah > to us. They know
<3045 yada< > that we [be] hungry <7456 ra<eb >; therefore are
they gone <3318 yatsa> > out of the camp <4264 machaneh > to
hide <2247 chabah > themselves in the field <7704 sadeh >,
saying <0559 >amar >, When <3588 kiy > they come <3318 yatsa> >
out of the city <5892 <iyr >, we shall catch <8610 taphas > them
alive <2416 chay >, and get <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the
city <5892 <iyr >.
13 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Let [some] take
<3947 laqach >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, five <2568 chamesh > of
the horses <5483 cuwc > that remain <7604 sha>ar >, which <0834

as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > that are left <7604 sha>ar > in it: behold <2009
hinneh >, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605 kol > the
multitude <1995 hamown > of the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > that
are consumed <8552 tamam >:) and let us send <7971 shalach > and
see <7200 ra>ah >.
14 They took <3947 laqach > therefore two <8147 sh@nayim >
chariot <7393 rekeb > horses <5483 cuwc >; and the king <4428
melek > sent <7971 shalach > after <0310 >achar > the host <4264
machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, saying <0559 >amar >,
Go <3212 yalak > and see <7200 ra>ah >.
15 And they went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > them unto
Jordan <3383 Yarden >: and, lo <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol >
the way <1870 derek > [was] full <4392 male> > of garments <0899
beged > and vessels <3627 k@liy >, which <0834 >aher > the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > had cast <7993 shalak > away in their
haste <2648 chaphaz >. And the messengers <4397 mal>ak >
returned <7725 shuwb >, and told <5046 nagad > the king <4428
melek >.
16 And the people <5971 <am > went <3318 yatsa> > out, and
spoiled <0962 bazaz > the tents <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians
<0758 >Aram >. So a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560
coleth > was [sold] for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and two
measures <5429 c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel
<8255 sheqel >, according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
17 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <6485 paqad > the lord
<7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand <3027
yad > he leaned <8172 sha<an > to have the charge <5921 <al > of
the gate <8179 sha<ar >: and the people <5971 <am > trode <7429

muwth >, as the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had
said <1696 dabar >, who <0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > when
the king <4428 melek > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to
him.
18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass as the man <0376 >iysh >
of God <0430 >elohiym > had spoken <1696 dabar > to the king
<4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, Two measures <5429 c@>ah >
of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and a
measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > for a shekel
<8255 sheqel >, shall be to morrow <4279 machar > about this
time <6256 <eth > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111
Shom@rown >:
19 And that lord <7991 shaliysh > answered <6030 <anah > the
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and said <0559 >amar

should make <6213 <asah > windows <0699 >arubbah > in heaven
<8064 shamayim >, might such <2088 zeh > a thing <1697 dabar >
be? And he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou shalt
see <7200 ra>ah > it with thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, but shalt
not eat <0398 >akal > thereof.
20 And so <3651 ken > it fell <1961 hayah > out unto him: for
the people <5971 <am > trode <7429 ramac > upon him in the gate
<8179 sha<ar >, and he died <4191 muwth >.
2Kings 8
1. Then spake <1696 dabar > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > unto the
woman <0802 >ishshah >, whose <0834 >aher > son <1121 ben > he
had restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah >, saying <0559

household <1004 bayith >, and sojourn <1481 guwr > wheresoever
<0834 >aher > thou canst sojourn <1481 guwr >: for the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > for a famine <7458
ra<ab >; and it shall also <1571 gam > come <0935 bow> > upon
the land <0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh

2 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > arose <6965 quwm >, and did
<6213 <asah > after the saying <1697 dabar > of the man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >: and she went <3212 yalak > with
her household <1004 bayith >, and sojourned <1481 guwr > in the
land <0776 >erets > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > seven
<7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh >.
3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seven <7651 sheba< >
years <8141 shaneh >' end <7097 qatseh >, that the woman <0802
>ishshah > returned <7725 shuwb > out of the land <0776 >erets >
of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >: and she went <3318 yatsa>

melek > for her house <1004 bayith > and for her land <7704
sadeh >.
4 And the king <4428 melek > talked <1696 dabar > with Gehazi
<1522 Geychaziy > the servant <5288 na<ar > of the man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, saying <0559 >amar >, Tell
<5608 caphar > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, all <3605 kol > the
great <1419 gadowl > things that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > hath
done <6213 <asah >.
5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he was telling <5608
caphar > the king <4428 melek > how <0834 >aher > he had
restored <2421 chayah > a dead <4191 muwth > body to life <2421
chayah >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, the woman <0802 >ishshah

chayah > to life <2421 chayah >, cried <6817 tsa<aq > to the
king <4428 melek > for her house <1004 bayith > and for her land
<7704 sadeh >. And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > said <0559 >amar >,
My lord <0113 >adown >, O king <4428 melek >, this <2063 zo>th >
[is] the woman <0802 >ishshah >, and this <2088 zeh > [is] her
son <1121 ben >, whom <0834 >aher > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >
restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah >.
6 And when the king <4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > the
woman <0802 >ishshah >, she told <5608 caphar > him. So the king
<4428 melek > appointed <5414 nathan > unto her a certain <0259

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

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

7. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <0935 bow> > to Damascus
<1834 Dammeseq >; and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > the king <4428
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sick <2470 chalah >; and it
was told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, The man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > is come <0935 bow> > hither
<2008 hennah >.
8 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Hazael
<2371 Chaza>el >, Take <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah >
in thine hand <3027 yad >, and go <3212 yalak >, meet <7125
qir>ah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and
enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him,
saying <0559 >amar >, Shall I recover <2421 chayah > of this
<2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >?
9 So Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125
qir>ah > him, and took <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah >
with him, even of every <3605 kol > good <2898 tuwb > thing of
Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, forty <0705 >arba<iym > camels <1581
gamal >' burden <4853 massa> >, and came <0935 bow> > and stood
<5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him, and said <0559 >amar >,
Thy son <1121 ben > Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > king <4428 melek

saying <0559 >amar >, Shall I recover <2421 chayah > of this
<2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >?
10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go
<3212 yalak >, say <0559 >amar > unto him, Thou mayest certainly
recover <2421 chayah >: howbeit the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath
shewed <7200 ra>ah > me that he shall surely die <4191 muwth >.
11 And he settled <5975 <amad > his countenance <6440 paniym >
stedfastly <7760 suwm >, until <5704 <ad > he was ashamed <0954
buwsh >: and the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > wept
<1058 bakah >.
12 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar >, Why <4069
madduwa< > weepeth <1058 bakah > my lord <0113 >adown >? And he
answered <0559 >amar >, Because <3588 kiy > I know <3045 yada< >
the evil <7451 ra< > that thou wilt do <6213 <asah > unto the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: their strong

shalach > on fire <0784 >esh >, and their young <0970 bachuwr >
men wilt thou slay <2026 harag > with the sword <2719 chereb >,
and wilt dash <7376 ratash > their children <6768 Tseleq >, and
rip <1234 baqa< > up their women with child <2030 hareh >.
13 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar >, But what
<4100 mah >, [is] thy servant <5650 <ebed > a dog <3611 keleb >,
that he should do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > great <1419
gadowl > thing <1697 dabar >? And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >
answered <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath shewed
<7200 ra>ah > me that thou [shalt be] king <4428 melek > over
<5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram >.
14 So he departed <3212 yalak > from Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >,
and came <0935 bow> > to his master <0113 >adown >; who <4310
miy > said <0559 >amar > to him, What <4100 mah > said <0559

>amar >, He told <0559 >amar > me [that] thou shouldest surely
recover <2421 chayah >.
15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283
mochorath >, that he took <3947 laqach > a thick cloth <4346
makbar >, and dipped <2881 tabal > [it] in water <4325 mayim >,
and spread <6566 paras > [it] on <5921 <al > his face <6440
paniym >, so that he died <4191 muwth >: and Hazael <2371
Chaza>el > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.
16. And in the fifth <2568 chamesh > year <8141 shaneh > of
Joram <3141 Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Jehoshaphat <3092
Y@howshaphat > [being] then king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak >.
17 Thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > years
<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign
<4427 malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > eight <8083 sh@moneh

18 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as did <6213
<asah > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >: for
the daughter <1323 bath > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > was his wife
<0802 >ishshah >: and he did evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
19 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would <14> not destroy <7843
shachath > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > for David <1732 David > his
servant's <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an >, as he promised <0559
>amar > him to give <5414 nathan > him alway a light <5216 niyr

20 In his days <3117 yowm > Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586
pasha< > from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and made a king <4428 melek > over <5921
<al > themselves <1992 hem >.
21 So Joram <3141 Yowram > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar

him: and he rose <6965 quwm > by night <3915 layil >, and smote
<5221 nakah > the Edomites <0130 >Edomiy > which compassed <5437
cabab > him about <0413 >el >, and the captains <8269 sar > of
the chariots <7393 rekeb >: and the people <5971 <am > fled
<5127 nuwc > into their tents <0168 >ohel >.
22 Yet Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586 pasha< > from under
<8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
unto this day <3117 yowm >. Then <0227 >az > Libnah <3841 Libnah

<eth >.
23 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Joram <3141 Yowram >, and all <3605 kol > that he did, [are]
they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of
the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >?
24 And Joram <3141 Yowram > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1>
in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >: and Ahaziah
<0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in
his stead <8478 tachath >.
25. In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3141 Yowram >
the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son
<1121 ben > of Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > begin to reign <4427 malak >.
26 Two <8147 sh@nayim > and twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141
shaneh > old <1121 ben > [was] Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > when he
began to reign <4427 malak >; and he reigned one <0259 >echad >
year <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his
mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Athaliah <6271
<Athalyah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of Omri <6018 <Omriy >
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
27 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the
house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and did <6213
<asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, as [did] the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256

chathan > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >.
28 And he went <3212 yalak > with Joram <3141 Yowram > the son
<1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the war <4421 milchamah >
against <5973 <im > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek >
of Syria <0758 >Aram > in Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >; and the
Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > wounded <5221 nakah > Joram <3141
Yowram >.
29 And king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram > went <7725 shuwb

Ramah <7414 Ramah >, when he fought <3898 lacham > against
Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

<3088 Y@howram > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 ra>ah > Joram

2Kings 9
1. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
called <7121 qara> > one <0259 >echad > of the children <1121

Yisra>el >. Then open <6605 pathach > the door <1817 deleth >,
and flee <5127 nuwc >, and tarry <2442 chakah > not.
4 So the young <5288 na<ar > man, [even] the young <5288 na<ar

5 And when <3588 kiy > he came <0935 bow> >, behold <2009
hinneh >, the captains <8269 sar > of the host <2428 chayil >
[were] sitting <3427 yashab >; and he said <0559 >amar >, I have
an errand <1697 dabar > to thee, O captain <8269 sar >. And Jehu
<3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, Unto which <4310 miy > of all
<3605 kol > us? And he said <0559 >amar >, To thee, O captain
<8269 sar >.
6 And he arose <6965 quwm >, and went <0935 bow> > into the
house <1004 bayith >; and he poured <3332 yatsaq > the oil <8081
shemen > on <0413 >el > his head <7218 ro>sh >, and said <0559
>amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
I have anointed <4886 mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over
<0413 >el > the people <5971 <am > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
[even] over <0413 >el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
7 And thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > the house <1004 bayith >
of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > thy master <0113 >adown >, that I may
avenge <5358 naqam > the blood <1818 dam > of my servants <5650
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and the blood <1818 dam >
of all <3605 kol > the servants <5650 <ebed > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, at the hand <3027 yad > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.
8 For the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab > shall perish <6>: and I will cut <3772 karath > off
from Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > him that pisseth <8366 shathan >
against the wall <7023 qiyr >, and him that is shut <6113 <atsar
> up and left in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:
9 And I will make <5414 nathan > the house <1004 bayith > of
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > like the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and
like the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son
<1121 ben > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah >:
10 And the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel
<0348 >Iyzebel > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157
Yizr@<e>l >, and [there shall be] none <0369 >ayin > to bury
<6912 qabar > [her]. And he opened <6605 pathach > the door
<1817 deleth >, and fled <5127 nuwc >.
11. Then Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > to the servants <5650 <ebed > of his lord <0113 >adown

shalowm >? wherefore <4069 madduwa< > came <0935 bow> > this
<2088 zeh > mad <7696 shaga< > [fellow] to thee? And he said
<0559 >amar > unto them, Ye know <3045 yada< > the man <0376
>iysh >, and his communication <7879 siyach >.
12 And they said <0559 >amar >, [It is] false <8267 sheqer >;
tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >. And he said <0559 >amar >,
Thus <2063 zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > spake <0559 >amar >
he to me, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I have anointed <4886 mashach

13 Then they hasted <4116 mahar >, and took <3947 laqach >
every man <0376 >iysh > his garment <0899 beged >, and put <7760
suwm > [it] under <8478 tachath > him on <0413 >el > the top
<1634 gerem > of the stairs <4609 ma<alah >, and blew <8628
taqa< > with trumpets <7782 showphar >, saying <0559 >amar >,
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > is king <4427 malak >.
14 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat
<3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy

Yowram >. (Now Joram <3141 Yowram > had kept <8104 shamar >
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >, he and all <3605 kol > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, because <6440 paniym > of Hazael <2371
Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.
15 But king <4428 melek > Joram <3188 yachas > was returned
<7725 shuwb > to be healed <7495 rapha> > in Jezreel <3157
Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which <0834 >aher > the
Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > had given <5221 nakah > him, when he
fought <3898 lacham > with Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.) And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said
<0559 >amar >, If <0518 >im > it be your minds <5315 nephesh >,
[then] let none <0408 >al > go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

<3212 yalak > to tell <5046 nagad > [it] in Jezreel <3157
Yizr@<e>l >.
16. So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > rode <7392 rakab > in a chariot, and
went <3212 yalak > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >; for Joram <3141
Yowram > lay <7901 shakab > there <8033 sham >. And Ahaziah
<0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
was come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 ra>ah >
Joram <3141 Yowram >.
17 And there stood <5975 <amad > a watchman <6822 tsaphah > on
<5921 <al > the tower <4026 migdal > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > as he came <0935 bow> >, and said <0559
>amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a company <8229 shiph<ah >. And
Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > an
horseman <7395 rakkab >, and send <7971 shalach > to meet <7125
qir>ah > them, and let him say <0559 >amar >, [Is it] peace
<7965 shalowm >?
18 So there went <3212 yalak > one on horseback to meet <7125
qir>ah > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, [Is it] peace <7965
shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, What
<4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm >? turn
<5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me. And the watchman
<6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad >, saying <0559 >amar >, The
messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to them, but he
cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb >.
19 Then he sent <7971 shalach > out a second <8145 sheniy > on
horseback, which came <0935 bow> > to them, and said <0559 >amar
>, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >,
[Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > answered
<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965
shalowm >? turn <5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me.
20 And the watchman <6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad >, saying
<0559 >amar >, He came <0935 bow> > even unto them, and cometh
<7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb >: and the driving <4491
minhag > [is] like the driving <4491 minhag > of Jehu <3058
Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy >; for he
driveth <5090 nahag > furiously <7697 shigga<own >.
21 And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar >, Make ready
<0631 >acar >. And his chariot <7393 rekeb > was made ready
<0631 >acar >. And Joram <3188 yachas > king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <3318 yatsa> > out, each
<0376 >iysh > in his chariot <7393 rekeb >, and they went <3318
yatsa> > out against <7125 qir>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and met
<4672 matsa> > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of Naboth
<5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy >.
22 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Joram <3188 yachas >
saw <7200 ra>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, that he said <0559 >amar
>, [Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >? And he
answered <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > peace <7965 shalowm >,
so long <5704 <ad > as the whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > of thy
mother <0517 >em > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > and her witchcrafts
<3785 kesheph > [are so] many <7227 rab >?
23 And Joram <3188 yachas > turned <2015 haphak > his hands
<3027 yad >, and fled <5127 nuwc >, and said <0559 >amar > to
Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >, [There is] treachery <4820 mirmah >,
O Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >.
24 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > drew a bow <7198 qesheth > with his
full <4390 male> > strength <3027 yad >, and smote <5221 nakah >
Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > between <0996 beyn > his arms <2220
z@rowa< >, and the arrow <2678 chitstsiy > went <3318 yatsa> >
out at his heart <3820 leb >, and he sunk <3766 kara< > down in
his chariot <7393 rekeb >.
25 Then said <0559 >amar > [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920 Bidqar > his
captain <7991 shaliysh >, Take <5375 nasa> > up, [and] cast
<7993 shalak > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of the field
<7704 sadeh > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158
Yizr@<e>liy >: for remember <2142 zakar > how that, when I and
thou rode <7392 rakab > together <6776 tsemed > after <0310
>achar > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his father <1>, the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > laid <5375 nasa> > this <2088 zeh > burden <4853
massa> > upon him;
26 Surely I have seen <7200 ra>ah > yesterday <0570 >emesh >
the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, and the blood
<1818 dam > of his sons <1121 ben >, saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will requite <7999 shalam > thee in
this <2063 zo>th > plat <2513 chelqah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Now <6258 <attah > therefore take <5375
nasa> > [and] cast <7993 shalak > him into the plat <2513
chelqah > [of ground], according to the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
27 But when Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [this], he fled <5127
nuwc > by the way <1870 derek > of the garden <1588 gan > house
<1004 bayith >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > followed <7291 radaph >
after <0310 >achar > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221
nakah > him also <1571 gam > in the chariot <4818 merkabah >.
[And they did so] at the going <4608 ma<aleh > up to Gur <1483
Guwr >, which <0834 >aher > [is] by Ibleam <2991 Yibl@<am >. And
he fled <5127 nuwc > to Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and died
<4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >.
28 And his servants <5650 <ebed > carried <7392 rakab > him in
a chariot to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and buried <6912
qabar > him in his sepulchre <6900 q@buwrah > with his fathers
<1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >.
29 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3188
yachas > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > began
Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al
> Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.
30. And when Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > was come <0935 bow> > to
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard <8085
shama< > [of it]; and she painted her face <5869 <ayin >, and
tired <3190 yatab > her head <7218 ro>sh >, and looked <8259
shaqaph > out at <1157 b@<ad > a window <2474 challown >.
31 And as Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > entered <0935 bow> > in at the
gate <8179 sha<ar >, she said <0559 >amar >, [Had] Zimri <2174
Zimriy > peace <7965 shalowm >, who slew <2026 harag > his
master <0113 >adown >?
32 And he lifted <5375 nasa> > up his face <6440 paniym > to
the window <2474 challown >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310
miy > [is] on <0854 >eth > my side? who <4310 miy >? And there
looked <8259 shaqaph > out to him two <8147 sh@nayim > [or]
three <7969 shalowsh > eunuchs <5631 cariyc >.
33 And he said <0559 >amar >, Throw <8058 shamat > her down
<8058 shamat >. So they threw <8058 shamat > her down <8058
shamat >: and [some] of her blood <1818 dam > was sprinkled
<5137 nazah > on <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr >, and on <0413
>el > the horses <5483 cuwc >: and he trode <7429 ramac > her
under foot.
34 And when he was come <0935 bow> > in, he did eat <0398 >akal

paqad >, see now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th > cursed <0779

king's <4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath >.
35 And they went <3212 yalak > to bury <6912 qabar > her: but
they found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > more of her than the
skull <1538 gulgoleth >, and the feet <7272 regel >, and the
palms <3709 kaph > of [her] hands <3027 yad >.
36 Wherefore they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and
told <5046 nagad > him. And he said <0559 >amar >, This <1931
huw> > [is] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant <5650
<ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >,
saying <0559 >amar >, In the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel
<3157 Yizr@<e>l > shall dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398 >akal > the
flesh <1320 basar > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >:
37 And the carcase <5038 n@belah > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >
shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym > of
the field <7704 sadeh > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel
<3157 Yizr@<e>l >; [so] that they shall not say <0559 >amar >,
This <2063 zo>th > [is] Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.
2Kings 10
1. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > had seventy <7657 shib<iym. > sons
<1121 ben > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw>

and to them that brought <0539 >aman > up Ahab's <0256 >Ach>ab >
[children], saying <0559 >amar >,
2 Now <6258 <attah > as soon as this <2088 zeh > letter <5612
cepher > cometh <0935 bow> > to you, seeing your master's <0113

you chariots <7393 rekeb > and horses <5483 cuwc >, a fenced
<4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr > also, and armour <5402 nesheq

3 Look <7200 ra>ah > even out the best <2896 towb > and meetest

and set <7760 suwm > [him] on <5921 <al > his father's <1>
throne <3678 kicce> >, and fight <3898 lacham > for your
master's <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith >.
4 But they were exceedingly <3966 m@<od > afraid <3372 yare> >,
and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147
sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > not before
<6440 paniym > him: how <0349 >eyk > then shall we stand <5975
<amad >?
5 And he that [was] over <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith >,
and he that [was] over <5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr >, the
elders <2205 zaqen > also, and the bringers <0539 >aman > up [of
the children], sent <7971 shalach > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >,
saying <0559 >amar >, We [are] thy servants <5650 <ebed >, and
will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > that thou shalt bid <0559

thine eyes <5869 <ayin >.
6 Then he wrote <3789 kathab > a letter <5612 cepher > the
second <8145 sheniy > time to them, saying <0559 >amar >, If
<0518 >im > ye [be] mine, and [if <0518 >im >] ye will hearken

this time <6256 <eth >. Now the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121

[were] with the great <1419 gadowl > men of the city <5892 <iyr

7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the letter <5612

8 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak >, and
told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, They have brought
<0935 bow> > the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the king's <4428 melek >
sons <1121 ben >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Lay <7760 suwm > ye

9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242 boqer

concerning <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah >
[that] which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant
<5650 <ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.
11 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol >
that remained <7604 sha>ar > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, and all <3605 kol

and his priests <3548 kohen >, until <5704 <ad > he left <7604
sha>ar > him none <1115 biltiy > remaining <8300 sariyd >.
12 And he arose <6965 quwm > and departed <0935 bow> >, and
came <1980 halak > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. [And] as he
[was] at the shearing house <1004 bayith > in the way <1870
derek >,
13 Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > met <4672 matsa> > with the brethren
<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy >
[are] ye? And they answered <0559 >amar >, We [are] the brethren
<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >; and we go <3381 yarad

<1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > and the children <1121 ben

14 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <8610 taphas > them alive
<2416 chay >. And they took <8610 taphas > them alive <2416 chay

shearing <1044 Beyth <Eqed > house <1004 bayith >, [even] two
<8147 sh@nayim > and forty <0705 >arba<iym > men <0376 >iysh >;
neither <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > he any <0376 >iysh > of
them.
15. And when he was departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham >,
he lighted <4672 matsa> > on <0854 >eth > Jehonadab <3082
Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >
[coming] to meet <7125 qir>ah > him: and he saluted <1288 barak

heart <3824 lebab >? And Jehonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > answered
<0559 >amar >, It is. If it be, give <5414 nathan > [me] thine
hand <3027 yad >. And he gave <5414 nathan > [him] his hand
<3027 yad >; and he took <5927 <alah > him up to him into <0413

16 And he said <0559 >amar >, Come <3212 yalak > with me, and
see <7200 ra>ah > my zeal <7068 qin>ah > for the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >. So they made him ride <7392 rakab > in his chariot
<7393 rekeb >.
17 And when he came <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >,
he slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > that remained <7604 sha>ar

<5704 <ad > he had destroyed <8045 shamad > him, according to
the saying <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which
<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.
18 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605
kol > the people <5971 <am > together, and said <0559 >amar >
unto them, Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168
Ba<al > a little <4592 m@<at >; [but] Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall
serve <5647 <abad > him much <7235 rabah >.
19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore call <7121 qara> > unto me all
<3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >,
all <3605 kol > his servants <5647 <abad >, and all <3605 kol >
his priests <3548 kohen >; let none be wanting <6485 paqad >:
for I have a great <1419 gadowl > sacrifice <2077 zebach > [to
do] to Baal <1168 Ba<al >; whosoever shall be wanting <6485
paqad >, he shall not live <2421 chayah >. But Jehu <3058 Yehuw>

intent <4616 ma<an > that he might destroy <6> the worshippers
<5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >.
20 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <6942
qadash > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah > for
Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And they proclaimed <7121 qara> > [it].
21 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > sent <7971 shalach > through all
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and all <3605 kol > the
worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > came <0935 bow>

that came <0935 bow> > not. And they came <0935 bow> > into the
house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >; and the house <1004
bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > was full <4390 male> > from one
end <6310 peh > to another.
22 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him that [was] over <5921 <al

yatsa> > vestments <3830 l@buwsh > for all <3605 kol > the
worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And he brought
<3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > vestments <4403
malbuwsh >.
23 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > went <0935 bow> >, and Jehonadab
<3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >,
into the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and said
<0559 >amar > unto the worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168
Ba<al >, Search <2664 chaphas >, and look <7200 ra>ah > that
there be here <6311 poh > with you none of the servants <5650
<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, but the worshippers <5647
<abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > only <0905 bad >.
24 And when <3588 kiy > they went <0935 bow> > in to offer
<6213 <asah > sacrifices <2077 zebach > and burnt <5930 <olah >
offerings, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > appointed <7760 suwm > fourscore
<8084 sh@moniym > men <0376 >iysh > without <2351 chuwts >, and
said <0559 >amar >, [If] any of the men <0582 >enowsh > whom
<0834 >aher > I have brought <0935 bow> > into <5921 <al > your
hands <3027 yad > escape <4422 malat >, [he that letteth him go],
his life <2421 chayah > [shall be] for the life <5315 nephesh >
of him.
25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon as he had made an
end <3615 kalah > of offering <6213 <asah > the burnt <5930
<olah > offering, that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > to
the guard <7323 ruwts > and to the captains <7991 shaliysh >, Go
<0935 bow> > in, [and] slay <5221 nakah > them; let none <0408
>al > come <3381 yarad > forth <3318 yatsa> >. And they smote
<5221 nakah > them with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword <2719
chereb >; and the guard <7323 ruwts > and the captains <7991
shaliysh > cast <7993 shalak > [them] out, and went <3212 yalak
> to the city <5892 <iyr > of the house <1004 bayith > of Baal
<1168 Ba<al >.
26 And they brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the
images <4676 matstsebah > out of the house <1004 bayith > of
Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and burned <8313 saraph > them.
27 And they brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the
image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and brake <5422
nathats > down <5422 nathats > the house <1004 bayith > of Baal
<1168 Ba<al >, and made <7760 suwm > it a draught <4280
machara>ah > house unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.
28 Thus <3541 koh > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > destroyed <8045 shamad

29. Howbeit [from] the sins <2399 chet> > of Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <0834
>aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, Jehu
<3058 Yehuw> > departed <5493 cuwr > not from after <0310 >achar

that [were] in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and that [were] in Dan
<1835 Dan >.
30 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Jehu
<3058 Yehuw> >, Because thou hast done well <2895 towb > in
executing <6213 <asah > [that which is] right <3225 yamiyn > in
mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, [and] hast done <6213 <asah > unto the
house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > according to all
<3605 kol > that [was] in mine heart <3824 lebab >, thy children
<1121 ben > of the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > [generation] shall
sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
31 But Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > took no <3808 lo> > heed <8104
shamar > to walk <3212 yalak > in the law <8451 towrah > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > with all <3605 kol > his heart <3824 lebab >: for he
departed <5493 cuwr > not from the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, which <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.
32 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > began <2490 chalal > to cut <7096 qatsah > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > short: and Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > smote <5221
nakah > them in all <3605 kol > the coasts <1366 g@buwl > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;
33 From Jordan <3383 Yarden > eastward, all <3605 kol > the
land <0776 >erets > of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >, the Gadites <1425
Gadiy >, and the Reubenites <7206 R@>uwbeniy >, and the
Manassites <4520 M@nashshiy >, from Aroer <6177 <Arow<er >,
which <0834 >aher > [is] by the river <5158 nachal > Arnon <0769
>Arnown >, even Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > and Bashan <1316 Bashan >.
34 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah
>, and all <3605 kol > his might <1369 g@buwrah >, [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 >?
35 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>: and they buried <6912 qabar > him in Samaria <8111
Shom@rown >. And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > his son <1121 ben

36 And the time <3117 yowm > that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > reigned
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > [was] twenty <6242 <esriym > and eight
<8083 sh@moneh > years <8141 shaneh >.
2Kings 11
1. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > the mother <0517 >em >
of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > saw <7200 ra>ah > that her son
<1121 ben > was dead <4191 muwth >, she arose <6965 quwm > and
destroyed <6> all <3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > royal <4467
mamlakah >.
2 But Jehosheba <3089 Y@howsheba< >, the daughter <1323 bath >
of king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram >, sister <0269
>achowth > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >, took <3947 laqach >
Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the son <1121 ben > of Ahaziah <0274
>Achazyah >, and stole <1589 ganab > him from among <8432 tavek

<4191 muwth >; and they hid <5641 cathar > him, [even] him and
his nurse <3243 yanaq >, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271
<Athalyah >, so that he was not slain <4191 muwth >.
3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004 bayith > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh >.
And Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > did reign <4427 malak > over
<5921 <al > the land <0776 >erets >.
4. And the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh >
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > sent <7971 shalach > and fetched <3947
laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah >,
with the captains <3746 kariy > and the guard <7323 ruwts >, and
brought <0935 bow> > them to him into the house <1004 bayith >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made <3772 karath > a covenant
<1285 b@riyth > with them, and took an oath <7650 shaba< > of
them in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the king's <4428 melek > son <1121
ben >.
5 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > them, saying <0559 >amar >,
This <2088 zeh > [is] the thing <1697 dabar > that ye shall do
<6213 <asah >; A third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part of you that enter

keepers <8104 shamar > of the watch <4931 mishmereth > of the
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >;
6 And a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part [shall be] at the gate
<8179 sha<ar > of Sur <5495 Cuwr >; and a third <7992 sh@liyshiy

<4931 mishmereth > of the house <1004 bayith >, that it be not
broken <4535 maccach > down <4535 maccach >.
7 And two <8147 sh@nayim > parts <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol >
you that go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > on the sabbath
<7676 shabbath >, even they shall keep <8104 shamar > the watch
<4931 mishmereth > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > about <0413 >el > the king <4428 melek >.
8 And ye shall compass <5362 naqaph > the king <4428 melek >

weapons <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027 yad >: and he that
cometh <0935 bow> > within the ranges <7713 s@derah >, let him
be slain <4191 muwth >: and be ye with the king <4428 melek > as
he goeth <3318 yatsa> > out and as he cometh <0935 bow> > in.
9 And the captains <8269 sar > over the hundreds <3967 me>ah >
did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > [things] that
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > commanded
<6680 tsavah >: and they took <3947 laqach > every man <0376

in on the sabbath <7676 shabbath >, with them that should go
<3318 yatsa> > out on the sabbath <7676 shabbath >, and came
<0935 bow> > to Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen

10 And to the captains <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah >
did the priest <3548 kohen > give <5414 nathan > king <4428
melek > David's <1732 David > spears <2595 chaniyth > and
shields <7982 shelet >, that [were] in the temple <1004 bayith >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
11 And the guard <7323 ruwts > stood <5975 <amad >, every man
<0376 >iysh > with his weapons <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027
yad >, round <5439 cabiyb > about <5921 <al > the king <4428
melek >, from the right <3233 y@maniy > corner <3802 katheph >
of the temple <1004 bayith > to the left <8042 s@ma>liy > corner
<3802 katheph > of the temple <1004 bayith >, [along] by the
altar <4196 mizbeach > and the temple <1004 bayith >.
12 And he brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the
king's <4428 melek > son <1121 ben >, and put <5414 nathan > the
crown <5145 nezer > upon him, and [gave him] the testimony
<5715>; and they made him king <4427 malak >, and anointed <4886
mashach > him; and they clapped <5221 nakah > their hands <3709
kaph >, and said <0559 >amar >, God save <2421 chayah > the king
<4428 melek >.
13. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > heard <8085 shama< >
the noise <6963 qowl > of the guard <7323 ruwts > [and] of the
people <5971 <am >, she came <0935 bow> > to the people <5971
<am > into the temple <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
14 And when she looked <7200 ra>ah >, behold <2009 hinneh >,
the king <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > by a pillar <5982
<ammuwd >, as the manner <4941 mishpat > [was], and the princes
<8269 sar > and the trumpeters <2689 chatsots@rah > by the king
<4428 melek >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the
land <0776 >erets > rejoiced <8056 sameach >, and blew <8628
taqa< > with trumpets: and Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > rent <7167
qara< > her clothes <0899 beged >, and cried <7121 qara> >,
Treason <7195 qesher >, Treason <7195 qesher >.
15 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >
commanded <6680 tsavah > the captains <8269 sar > of the
hundreds <3967 me>ah >, the officers <6485 paqad > of the host

yatsa> > her forth <3318 yatsa> > without the ranges <7713
s@derah >: and him that followeth her kill <4191 muwth > with
the sword <2719 chereb >. For the priest <3548 kohen > had said
<0559 >amar >, Let her not be slain <4191 muwth > in the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
16 And they laid <7760 suwm > hands <3027 yad > on her; and she
went <0935 bow> > by the way <1870 derek > by the which the
horses <5483 cuwc > came <3996 mabow> > into the king's <4428
melek > house <1004 bayith >: and there <8033 sham > was she
slain <4191 muwth >.
17. And Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > made <3772 karath > a
covenant <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > and the king <4428 melek > and the people <5971 <am >,
that they should be the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > people <5971 <am

people <5971 <am >.
18 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776
>erets > went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of Baal
<1168 Ba<al >, and brake <5422 nathats > it down <5422 nathats >;
his altars <4196 mizbeach > and his images <6754 tselem > brake
<7665 shabar > they in pieces thoroughly <3190 yatab >, and slew
<2026 harag > Mattan <4977 Mattan > the priest <3548 kohen > of
Baal <1168 Ba<al > before <6440 paniym > the altars <4196

officers <6486 p@quddah > over <5921 <al > the house <1004

19 And he took <3947 laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over
hundreds <3967 me>ah >, and the captains <3746 kariy >, and the
guard <7323 ruwts >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >
of the land <0776 >erets >; and they brought <3381 yarad > down

20 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776

2Kings 12
1. In the seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehu
<3058 Yehuw> > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > began to reign <4427
malak >; and forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh >
reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And
his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Zibiah <6645
Tsibyah > of Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< >.
2 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > did <6213 <asah > [that which
was] right <3477 yashar > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm > wherein
<0834 >aher > Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >
instructed <3384 yarah > him.
3 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr >
away <5493 cuwr >: the people <5971 <am > still <5750 <owd >
sacrificed <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999
qatar > in the high <1116 bamah > places.
4. And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > said <0559 >amar > to the
priests <3548 kohen >, All <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph >
of the dedicated <6944 qodesh > things that is brought <0935

[even] the money <3701 keceph > of every <3605 kol > one that
passeth <5674 <abar > [the account], the money <3701 keceph >
that every man <5315 nephesh > is set <6187 <erek > at, [and]
all <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph > that cometh <5927 <alah

bring <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >,
5 Let the priests <3548 kohen > take <3947 laqach > [it] to
them, every man <0376 >iysh > of his acquaintance <4378 makka >:
and let them repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of
the house <1004 bayith >, wheresoever any <0376 >iysh > breach
<0919 bedeq > shall be found <4672 matsa> >.
6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969 shalowsh > and
twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428
melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the priests <3548 kohen > had
not repaired <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the
house <1004 bayith >.
7 Then king <4428 melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > called
<7121 qara> > for Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548
kohen >, and the [other] priests <3548 kohen >, and said <0559

not the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house <1004 bayith >? now
<6258 <attah > therefore receive <3947 laqach > no <0408 >al >
[more] money <3701 keceph > of your acquaintance <4378 makka >,
but deliver <5414 nathan > it for the breaches <0919 bedeq > of
the house <1004 bayith >.
8 And the priests <3548 kohen > consented <0225 >uwth > to
receive <3947 laqach > no <1115 biltiy > [more] money <3701
keceph > of the people <5971 <am >, neither <1115 biltiy > to
repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house
<1004 bayith >.
9 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > took
<3947 laqach > a chest <0727 >arown >, and bored <5344 naqab > a
hole <2356 chowr > in the lid <1817 deleth > of it, and set
<5414 nathan > it beside <0681 >etsel > the altar <4196 mizbeach

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the priests <3548 kohen > that kept

brought <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200 ra>ah > that [there
was] much <7225 re>shiyth > money <3701 keceph > in the chest
<0727 >arown >, that the king's <4428 melek > scribe <5608
caphar > and the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen > came
<5927 <alah > up, and they put <6695 tsowq > up in bags <6696
tsuwr >, and told <4487 manah > the money <3701 keceph > that
was found <4672 matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
11 And they gave <5414 nathan > the money <3701 keceph >, being
told <8505 takan >, into <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of
them that did <6213 <asah > the work <4399 m@la>kah >, that had
the oversight <6485 paqad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and they laid <3318 yatsa> > it out to the
carpenters <6086 <ets > and builders <1129 banah >, that wrought
<6213 <asah > upon the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >,
12 And to masons <1443 gadar >, and hewers <2672 chatsab > of
stone <68>, and to buy <7069 qanah > timber <6086 <ets > and
hewed <4274 machtseb > stone <68> to repair <2388 chazaq > the
breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and for all <3605 kol > that was laid <3318
yatsa> > out for the house <1004 bayith > to repair <2393
chezqah > [it].
13 Howbeit there were not made <6213 <asah > for the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bowls <5592 caph > of
silver <3701 keceph >, snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, basons <4219

<0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >:
14 But they gave <5414 nathan > that to the workmen, and
repaired <2388 chazaq > therewith the house <1004 bayith > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
15 Moreover they reckoned <2803 chashab > not with the men
<0582 >enowsh >, into <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand <3027
yad > they delivered <5414 nathan > the money <3701 keceph > to
be bestowed <5414 nathan > on workmen: for they dealt <6213
<asah > faithfully <0530 >emuwnah >.
16 The trespass <0817 >asham > money <3701 keceph > and sin
money <3701 keceph > was not brought <0935 bow> > into the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: it was the priests

17. Then <0227 >az > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek >
of Syria <0758 >Aram > went <5927 <alah > up, and fought <3898
lacham > against <5921 <al > Gath <1661 Gath >, and took <3920

face <6440 paniym > to go <5927 <alah > up to Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.
18 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the
hallowed <6944 qodesh > things that Jehoshaphat <3092
Y@howshaphat >, and Jehoram <3088 Y@howram >, and Ahaziah <0274

in the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and sent <7971
shalach > [it] to Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of
Syria <0758 >Aram >: and he went <5927 <alah > away from
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
19 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Joash <3101 Yow>ash >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

20 And his servants <5650 <ebed > arose <6965 quwm >, and made
a conspiracy <7195 qesher >, and slew <5221 nakah > Joash <3101

which goeth <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to Silla <5538

21 For Jozachar <3108 Yowzakar > the son <1121 ben > of
Shimeath <8100 Shim<ath >, and Jehozabad <3075 Y@howzabad > the
son <1121 ben > of Shomer <7763 Showmer >, his servants <5650

2Kings 13
1. In the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >
year <8141 shaneh > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the son <1121 ben >
of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > the son <1121 ben > of
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al

reigned] seventeen <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh >.
2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in
the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
followed the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >
the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, which made Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >; he departed <5493 cuwr >
not therefrom.
3 And the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was
kindled <2734 charah > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and he
delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of
Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

the son <1121 ben > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el >, all <3605 kol >
[their] days <3117 yowm >.
4 And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > besought <2470 chalah > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hearkened
<8085 shama< > unto him: for he saw <7200 ra>ah > the oppression

the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > oppressed <3905

5 (And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > a saviour <3467 yasha< >, so that they went
<3318 yatsa> > out from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > dwelt <3427 yashab > in their tents

6 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > they departed <5493 cuwr > not from
the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of the house <1004 bayith > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478

7 Neither <3808 lo> > did he leave <7604 sha>ar > of the people

Syria <0758 >Aram > had destroyed <6> them, and had made <7760
suwm > them like the dust <6083 <aphar > by threshing <1758

8 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz >, and all <3605 kol > that he did
<6213 <asah >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, [are] they not
written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the

9 And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > slept <7901 shakab > with

<8111 Shom@rown >: and Joash <3101 Yow>ash > his son <1121 ben >

10. In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and seventh <7651 sheba<

11 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< >
in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; he
departed <5493 cuwr > not from all <3605 kol > the sins <2403

12 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Joash <3101 Yow>ash >, and all <3605 kol > that he did, and his
might <1369 g@buwrah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he fought <3898

<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles
<1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >?
13 And Joash <3101 Yow>ash > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>; and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > sat <3427 yashab >
upon his throne <3678 kicce> >: and Joash <3101 Yow>ash > was
buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > with the kings
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
14 Now Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was fallen sick <2470 chalah >
of his sickness <2483 choliy > whereof <0834 >aher > he died
<4191 muwth >. And Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king <4428 melek >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >
unto him, and wept <1058 bakah > over <5921 <al > his face <6440

the chariot <7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and the
horsemen <6571 parash > thereof.
15 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Take <3947 laqach > bow <7198 qesheth > and arrows <2671 chets >.
And he took <3947 laqach > unto him bow <7198 qesheth > and
arrows <2671 chets >.
16 And he said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Put <7392 rakab > thine hand <3027 yad

<3027 yad > [upon it]: and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > put <7760
suwm > his hands <3027 yad > upon the king's <4428 melek > hands
<3027 yad >.
17 And he said <0559 >amar >, Open <6605 pathach > the window
<2474 challown > eastward <6924 qedem >. And he opened <6605
pathach > [it]. Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >,
Shoot <3384 yarah >. And he shot <3384 yarah >. And he said
<0559 >amar >, The arrow <2671 chets > of the LORD'S <3068
Y@hovah > deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah >, and the arrow <2671

in Aphek <0663 >Apheq >, till <5704 <ad > thou have consumed
<3615 kalah > [them].
18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > the arrows
<2671 chets >. And he took <3947 laqach > [them]. And he said
<0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, Smite <5221 nakah > upon the ground <0776 >erets >.
And he smote <5221 nakah > thrice, and stayed <5975 <amad >.
19 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > was wroth
<7107 qatsaph > with him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thou shouldest
have smitten <5221 nakah > five <2568 chamesh > or <0176 >ow >
six <8337 shesh > times <6471 pa<am >; then <0227 >az > hadst
thou smitten <5221 nakah > Syria <0758 >Aram > till <5704 <ad >
thou hadst consumed <3615 kalah > [it]: whereas <6258 <attah >
now <6258 <attah > thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > Syria <0758

20. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > died <4191 muwth >, and they
buried <6912 qabar > him. And the bands <1416 g@duwd > of the
Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > invaded <0935 bow> > the land <0776

21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they were burying
<6912 qabar > a man <0376 >iysh >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >,
they spied <7200 ra>ah > a band <1416 g@duwd > [of men]; and
they cast <7993 shalak > the man <0376 >iysh > into the
sepulchre <6913 qeber > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >: and when
the man <0376 >iysh > was let <3212 yalak > down <3212 yalak >,
and touched <5060 naga< > the bones <6106 <etsem > of Elisha
<0477 >Eliysha< >, he revived <2421 chayah >, and stood <6965
quwm > up on <5921 <al > his feet <7272 regel >.
22 But Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria
<0758 >Aram > oppressed <3905 lachats > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoahaz <3059
Y@how>achaz >.
23 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was gracious <2603 chanan >
unto them, and had compassion <7355 racham > on them, and had
respect <6437 panah > unto them, because <4616 ma<an > of his
covenant <1285 b@riyth > with Abraham <85>, Isaac <3327 Yitschaq

shachath > them, neither <3808 lo> > cast <7993 shalak > he them
from his presence <6440 paniym > as yet.

1. In the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Joash
<3101 Yow>ash > son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz >
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > reigned <4427
malak > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash
<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.
2 He was twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years
<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427
malak >, and reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and
nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >
[was] Jehoaddan <3086 Y@how<addiyn > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.
3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

<7535 raq > not like David <1732 David > his father <1>: he did
<6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > things as Joash <3101
Yow>ash > his father <1> did <6213 <asah >.
4 Howbeit the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493
cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >: as yet <5750 <owd > the people <5971
<am > did sacrifice <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar >
incense <6999 qatar > on the high <1116 bamah > places.
5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon <0834 >aher > as
the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > was confirmed <2388 chazaq > in his
hand <3027 yad >, that he slew <5221 nakah > his servants <5650
<ebed > which <0834 >aher > had slain <5221 nakah > the king
<4428 melek > his father <1>.
6 But the children <1121 ben > of the murderers <5221 nakah >
he slew <4191 muwth > not: according unto that which is written
<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the law <8451
towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, wherein <0834 >aher > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >, saying <0559 >amar >,
The fathers <1> shall not be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191
muwth > for the children <1121 ben >, nor <3808 lo> > the
children <1121 ben > be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth >
for the fathers <1>; but every man <0376 >iysh > shall be put
<4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth > for his own sin <2399 chet>

7 He slew <5221 nakah > of Edom <0123 >Edom > in the valley
<1516 gay> > of salt <4417 melach > ten <6235 <eser > thousand
<0505 >eleph >, and took <8610 taphas > Selah <5554 Cela< > by
war <4421 milchamah >, and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034
shem > of it Joktheel <3371 Yoqth@>el > unto this <2088 zeh >
day <3117 yowm >.
8. Then <0227 >az > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > sent <7971
shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash >,
the son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > son <1121
ben > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Come <3212 yalak >, let us
look <7200 ra>ah > one another in the face <6440 paniym >.
9 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent <7971 shalach > to Amaziah <0558
>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying
<0559 >amar >, The thistle <2336 chowach > that [was] in Lebanon
<3844 L@banown > sent <7971 shalach > to the cedar <0730 >erez >
that [was] in Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, saying <0559 >amar >,
Give <5414 nathan > thy daughter <1323 bath > to my son <1121

by a wild <7704 sadeh > beast <2416 chay > that [was] in Lebanon
<3844 L@banown >, and trode <7429 ramac > down the thistle <2336
chowach >.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221 nakah > Edom <0123 >Edom >,
and thine heart <3820 leb > hath lifted <5375 nasa> > thee up:
glory <3513 kabad > [of this], and tarry <3427 yashab > at home
<1004 bayith >: for why shouldest thou meddle <1624 garah > to
[thy] hurt <7451 ra< >, that thou shouldest fall <5307 naphal >,
[even] thou, and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > with thee?
11 But Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > would not hear <8085 shama< >.
Therefore Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up; and he and Amaziah <0558
>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > looked
<7200 ra>ah > one another in the face <6440 paniym > at
Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, which <0834 >aher >
[belongeth] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.
12 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was put to the worse <5062 nagaph

<5127 nuwc > every man <0376 >iysh > to their tents <0168 >ohel

13 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > took <8610 taphas > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, the son <1121 ben

<0274 >Achazyah >, at Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, and
came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and brake
<6555 parats > down the wall <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > from the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Ephraim <0669
>Ephrayim > unto the corner <6438 pinnah > gate <8179 sha<ar >,
four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits <0520 >ammah >.
14 And he took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the gold <2091
zahab > and silver <3701 keceph >, and all <3605 kol > the
vessels <3627 k@liy > that were found <4672 matsa> > in the

treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house
<1004 bayith >, and hostages, and returned <7725 shuwb > to
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.
15. Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah

fought <3898 lacham > with Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > king <4428

kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697
dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?
16 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > with the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >; and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > his son <1121 ben >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.
17 And Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash
<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
lived <2421 chayah > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194 maveth

Y@how>achaz > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >.
18 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab >
in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of
the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?
19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195 qesher > against <5921 <al

after <0310 >achar > him to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >, and slew
<4191 muwth > him there <8033 sham >.
20 And they brought <5375 nasa> > him on <5921 <al > horses
<5483 cuwc >: and he was buried <6912 qabar > at Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > with his fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of
David <1732 David >.
21 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, which
<1931 huw> > [was] sixteen years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >,
and made him king <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of his
father <1> Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >.
22 He built <1129 banah > Elath <0359 >Eylowth >, and restored
<7725 shuwb > it to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, after <0310 >achar >
that the king <4428 melek > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>.
23. In the fifteenth <6240 <asar > year <8141 shaneh > of
Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101
Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash >
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > began to reign
<4427 malak > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, [and reigned] forty
<0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years <8141 shaneh >.
24 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< >
in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: he
departed <5493 cuwr > not from all <3605 kol > the sins <2403
chatta>ah > 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> >.
25 He restored <7725 shuwb > the coast <1366 g@buwl > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > from the entering <0935 bow> > of Hamath <2574
Chamath > unto the sea <3220 yam > of the plain <6160 <arabah >,
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834

servant <5650 <ebed > Jonah <3124 Yonah >, the son <1121 ben >
of Amittai <0573 >Amittay >, the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, which
<0834 >aher > [was] of Gathhepher <1662 Gath-ha-Chepher >.
26 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw <7200 ra>ah > the
affliction <6040 <oniy > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that it
was] very <3966 m@<od > bitter <4784 marah >: for [there was]
not any shut <6113 <atsar > up, nor <0369 >ayin > any left <5800
<azab >, nor <0369 >ayin > any helper <5826 <azar > for Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >.
27 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <1696 dabar > not that he
would blot <4229 machah > out the name <8034 shem > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > from under <8478 tachath > heaven <8064

yad > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash
<3101 Yow>ash >.
28 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213
<asah >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, how <0834 >aher > he

29 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, [even] with the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >; and Zachariah <2148 Z@karyah > his son <1121 ben >

2Kings 15
1. In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< >

2 Sixteen years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he

<8147 sh@nayim > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > years <8141
shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's
<0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Jecholiah <3203 Y@kolyah >

3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

according to all <3605 kol > that his father <1> Amaziah <0558

zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > still

5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > smote <5221 nakah > the king
<4428 melek >, so that he was a leper <6879 tsara< > unto the
day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >, and dwelt <3427

7 So Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>; and they buried <6912 qabar > him with his fathers
<1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >: and Jotham

10 And Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of Jabesh

and smote <5221 nakah > him before <6905 qabal > the people

written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the

13 Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of Jabesh <3003
Yabesh > began to reign <4427 malak > in the nine <8672 tesha< >
and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh > of Uzziah

and he reigned <4427 malak > a full <3117 yowm > month <3391

14 For Menahem <4505 M@nachem > the son <1121 ben > of Gadi

15 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Shallum <7967 Shalluwm >, and his conspiracy <7195 qesher >
which <0834 >aher > he made <7194 qashar >, behold <2009 hinneh

16 Then <0227 >az > Menahem <4505 M@nachem > smote <5221 nakah

17 In the nine <8672 tesha< > and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym >
year <8141 shaneh > of Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > king <4428 melek

2Kings 16
1. In the seventeenth <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of
Pekah <6492 Peqach > the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah <7425
R@malyahuw > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > the son <1121 ben > of Jotham
<3147 Yowtham > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
began to reign <4427 malak >.
2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >
[was] Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > when he began to reign <4427 malak >,
and reigned <4427 malak > sixteen years <8141 shaneh > in
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and did <6213 <asah > not [that
which was] right <3477 yashar > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >, like David
<1732 David > his father <1>.
3 But he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, yea <1571 gam >,
and made his son <1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the
fire <0784 >esh >, according to the abominations <8441 tow<ebah

Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
4 And he sacrificed <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar >
incense <6999 qatar > in the high <1116 bamah > places, and on
<5921 <al > the hills <1389 gib<ah >, and under <8478 tachath >
every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >.
5. Then <0227 >az > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > king <4428 melek > of
Syria <0758 >Aram > and Pekah <6492 Peqach > son <1121 ben > of

6 At that time <6256 <eth > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > king <4428
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > recovered <7725 shuwb > Elath

zeh > day <3117 yowm >.
7 So Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397
mal>ak > to Tiglathpileser <8407 Tiglath Pil>ecer > king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, I

8 And Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > took <3947 laqach > the silver <3701

the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and in the

<1004 bayith >, and sent <7971 shalach > [it for] a present
<7810 shachad > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

9 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
hearkened <8085 shama< > unto him: for the king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > went <5927 <alah > up against <0413

carried <1540 galah > [the people of] it captive <1540 galah >
to Kir <7024 Qiyr >, and slew <4191 muwth > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn

10. And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > went <3212 yalak

Tiglathpileser <8407 Tiglath Pil>ecer > king <4428 melek > of

11 And Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest <3548 kohen > built

12 And when the king <4428 melek > was come <0935 bow> > from

approached <7126 qarab > to the altar <4196 mizbeach >, and

13 And he burnt <6999 qatar > his burnt <6999 qatar > offering
and his meat offering <4503 minchah >, and poured <5258 nacak >
his drink <5262 necek > offering, and sprinkled <2236 zaraq >
the blood <1818 dam > of his peace <8002 shelem > offerings,

14 And he brought <7126 qarab > also the brasen <5178
n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach >, which <0834 >aher > [was]
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, from the

15 And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > commanded <6680

16 Thus did <6213 <asah > Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest
<3548 kohen >, according to all <3605 kol > that king <4428
melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > commanded <6680 tsavah >.
17. And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > cut <7112
qatsats > off the borders <4526 micgereth > of the bases <4350

19 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher >

20 And Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > slept <7901 shakab > with his

2Kings 17
1. In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Hoshea <1954

2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in

the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that were

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

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

him in prison.
5 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came

carried <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > away <1540 galah >
into Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and placed <3427 yashab > them
in Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] the
river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and in the cities
<5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday >.
7. For [so] it was, that the children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > had sinned <2398 chata> > against the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, which had brought
<5927 <alah > them up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim >, from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad

Mitsrayim >, and had feared <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher >
gods <0430 >elohiym >,
8 And walked <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 chuqqah > of
the heathen <1471 gowy >, whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and of the
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834
>aher > they had made <6213 <asah >.
9 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did
secretly <2644 chapha> > [those] things <1697 dabar > that
[were] not right <3651 ken > against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and they built <1129 banah

<5892 <iyr >, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen
<5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.
10 And they set <5324 natsab > them up images <4676 matstsebah

gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah >, and under <8478 tachath > every
<3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >:
11 And there <8033 sham > they burnt <6999 qatar > incense
<6999 qatar > in all <3605 kol > the high <1116 bamah > places,
as [did] the heathen <1471 gowy > whom <0834 >aher > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > before
<6440 paniym > them; and wrought <6213 <asah > wicked <7451 ra<
> things <1697 dabar > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to
anger <3707 ka<ac >:
12 For they served <5647 <abad > idols <1544 gilluwl >, whereof
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had said <0559 >amar >
unto them, Ye shall not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing
<1697 dabar >.
13 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > testified <5749 <uwd > against
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and against Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, by
all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, [and by] all <3605
kol > the seers <2374 chozeh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Turn <7725
shuwb > ye from your evil <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek >, and
keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > [and] my
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, according to all <3605 kol > the law
<8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah >
your fathers <1>, and which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach >
to you by my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.
14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085 shama< >, but
hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph >, like to the
neck <6203 <oreph > of their fathers <1>, that did not believe
<0539 >aman > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430
>elohiym >.
15 And they rejected <3988 ma>ac > his statutes <2706 choq >,
and his covenant <1285 b@riyth > that he made <3772 karath >
with their fathers <1>, and his testimonies <5715> which <0834
>aher > he testified <5749 <uwd > against them; and they
followed vanity <1892 hebel >, and became <1891 habal > vain
<1891 habal >, and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the
heathen <1471 gowy > that [were] round <5439 cabiyb > about them,
[concerning] whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had
charged <6680 tsavah > them, that they should not do <6213 <asah
> like them.
16 And they left <5800 <azab > all <3605 kol > the commandments
<4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430
>elohiym >, and made <6213 <asah > them molten <4541 maccekah >
images, [even] two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <egel >, and
made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah >, and worshipped
<7812 shachah > all <3605 kol > the host <6635 tsaba> > of
heaven <8064 shamayim >, and served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168
Ba<al >.
17 And they caused their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters
<1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the fire <0784 >esh >,
and used divination <7081 qecem > and enchantments <5172 nachash

<7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
>, to provoke him to anger <3707 ka<ac >.
18 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was very <3966 m@<od >
angry <0599 >anaph > with Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and removed
<5493 cuwr > them out of his sight <6440 paniym >: there was
none <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > but the tribe <7626 shebet

19 Also <1571 gam > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > kept <8104 shamar >
not the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
their God <0430 >elohiym >, but walked <3212 yalak > in the
statutes <2708 chuqqah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > which <0834
>aher > they made <6213 <asah >.
20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rejected <3988 ma>ac > all
<3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
and afflicted <6031 <anah > them, and delivered <5414 nathan >
them into the hand <3027 yad > of spoilers <8154 shacah >, until
<5704 <ad > he had cast <7993 shalak > them out of his sight
<6440 paniym >.
21 For he rent <7167 qara< > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from the
house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >; and they made
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028
N@bat > king <4427 malak >: and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > drave
<5071 n@dabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from following <0310
>achar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made them sin <2398
chata> > a great <1419 gadowl > sin <2401 chata>ah >.
22 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah
> of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213
<asah >; they departed <5493 cuwr > not from them;
23 Until <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > removed <5493
cuwr > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of his sight <6440 paniym >,
as he had said <1696 dabar > by all <3605 kol > his servants
<5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >. So was Israel <3478
Yisra>el > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > out of their
own land <0127 >adamah > to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > unto this
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.
24. And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
brought <0935 bow> > [men] from Babylon <0894 Babel >, and from
Cuthah <3575 Kuwth >, and from Ava <5755 <Ivvah >, and from
Hamath <2574 Chamath >, and from Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >,
and placed <3427 yashab > [them] in the cities <5892 <iyr > of
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > instead <8478 tachath > of the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and they
possessed <3423 yarash > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and dwelt
<3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof.
25 And [so] it was at the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of their
dwelling <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >, [that] they feared
<3372 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: therefore the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > lions <0738 >ariy > among
them, which slew <2026 harag > [some] of them.
26 Wherefore they spake <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, The nations
<1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > thou hast removed <1540 galah >,
and placed <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >, know <3045 yada< > not the manner <4941
mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land <0776 >erets >:
therefore he hath sent <7971 shalach > lions <0738 >ariy >
among them, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they slay <4191 muwth >
them, because <0834 >aher > they know <3045 yada< > not the
manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land
<0776 >erets >.
27 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
commanded <6680 tsavah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Carry <1980
halak > thither <8033 sham > one <0259 >echad > of the priests
<3548 kohen > whom <0834 >aher > ye brought <1540 galah > from
thence <8033 sham >; and let them go <3212 yalak > and dwell
<3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >, and let him teach <3384 yarah
> them the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of
the land <0776 >erets >.
28 Then one <0259 >echad > of the priests <3548 kohen > whom
<0834 >aher > they had carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah >
from Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > came <0935 bow> > and dwelt <3427
yashab > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and taught <3384 yarah >
them how <0349 >eyk > they should fear <3372 yare> > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
29 Howbeit every nation <1471 gowy > made <6213 <asah > gods
<0430 >elohiym > of their own, and put <3240 yanach > [them] in
the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places which
<0834 >aher > the Samaritans <8118 Shom@roniy > had made <6213
<asah >, every nation <1471 gowy > in their cities <5892 <iyr >
wherein they dwelt <3427 yashab >.
30 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of Babylon <0894 Babel > made
<6213 <asah > Succothbenoth <5524 Cukkowth b@nowth >, and the
men <0582 >enowsh > of Cuth <3575 Kuwth > made <6213 <asah >
Nergal <5370 Nergal >, and the men <0582 >enowsh > of Hamath
<2574 Chamath > made <6213 <asah > Ashima <0807 >Ashiyma> >,
31 And the Avites <5757 <Avviy > made <6213 <asah > Nibhaz
<5026 Nibchaz > and Tartak <8662 Tartaq >, and the Sepharvites
<5616 C@pharviy > burnt <8313 saraph > their children <1121 ben
> in fire <0784 >esh > to Adrammelech <0152 >Adrammelek > and
Anammelech <6048 <Anammelek >, the gods <0430 >elohiym > of
Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >.
32 So they feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
made <6213 <asah > unto themselves of the lowest <7098 qatsah >
of them priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places,
which <1961 hayah > sacrificed <6213 <asah > for them in the
houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places.
33 They feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
served <5647 <abad > their own gods <0430 >elohiym >, after the
manner <4941 mishpat > of the nations <1471 gowy > whom <0834
>aher > they carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > from
thence <8033 sham >.
34 Unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they do <6213 <asah >
after the former <7223 ri>shown > manners <4941 mishpat >: they
fear <3373 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, neither <0369
>ayin > do <6213 <asah > they after their statutes <2708 chuqqah

>achar > the law <8451 towrah > and commandment <4687 mitsvah >
which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680
tsavah > the children <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, whom
<0834 >aher > he named <8034 shem > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;
35 With whom the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had made <3772 karath > a
covenant <1285 b@riyth >, and charged <6680 tsavah > them,
saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, nor <3808 lo> > bow <7812
shachah > yourselves to them, nor <3808 lo> > serve <5647 <abad

36 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, who <0834 >aher > brought
<5927 <alah > you up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim > with great <1419 gadowl > power <3581 koach >
and a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< >, him shall
ye fear <3372 yare> >, and him shall ye worship <7812 shachah >,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice <2076 zabach >.
37 And the statutes <2706 choq >, and the ordinances <4941
mishpat >, and the law <8451 towrah >, and the commandment <4687
mitsvah >, which <0834 >aher > he wrote <3789 kathab > for you,
ye shall observe <8104 shamar > to do <6213 <asah > for evermore;
and ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods
<0430 >elohiym >.
38 And the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I have made <3772
karath > with you ye shall not forget <7911 shakach >; neither
<3808 lo> > shall ye fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher >
gods <0430 >elohiym >.
39 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ye
shall fear <3372 yare> >; and he shall deliver <5337 natsal >
you out of the hand <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > your enemies
<0341 >oyeb >.
40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085 shama< >, but they did
<6213 <asah > after their former <7223 ri>shown > manner <4941
mishpat >.
41 So these <0428 >el-leh > nations <1471 gowy > feared <3373
yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and served <5647 <abad > their
graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, both <1571 gam > their children
<1121 ben >, and their children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben

they unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.
2Kings 18
1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7969
shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son
<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > the son
<1121 ben > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak >.
2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141
shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign <4427
malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and
nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >. His mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > also
[was] Abi <21>, the daughter <1323 bath > of Zachariah <2148
Z@karyah >.
3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

according to all <3605 kol > that David <1732 David > his father
<1> did <6213 <asah >.
4 He removed <5493 cuwr > the high <1116 bamah > places, and
brake <7665 shabar > the images <4676 matstsebah >, and cut
<3772 karath > down the groves <0842 >asherah >, and brake <3807
kathath > in pieces the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > serpent <5175
nachash > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > had made <6213 <asah >: for
unto those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the children <1121 ben

<6999 qatar > to it: and he called <7121 qara> > it Nehushtan
<5180 N@chushtan >.
5 He trusted <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; so that after <0310
>achar > him was none <3808 lo> > like <3644 k@mow > him among
all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

6 For he clave <1692 dabaq > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and]
departed <5493 cuwr > not from following <0310 >achar > him, but
kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >, which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >
Moses <4872 Mosheh >.
7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was with him; [and] he prospered
<7919 sakal > whithersoever he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> >: and he rebelled <4775 marad > against the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and served <5647 <abad >
him not.
8 He smote <5221 nakah > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >,
[even] unto Gaza <5804 <Azzah >, and the borders <1366 g@buwl >
thereof, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen <5341
natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.
9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243
r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah >, which <1958 hiy > [was] the seventh <7651
sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son
<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Shalmaneser <8022 Shalman>ecer > king
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5957 <alam > up
against <5921 <al > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and besieged
<6696 tsuwr > it.
10 And at the end <7097 qatseh > of three <7969 shalowsh >
years <8141 shaneh > they took <3920 lakad > it: [even] in the
sixth <8337 shesh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah >, that [is] the ninth <8672 tesha< > year <8141
shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > was taken <3920
lakad >.
11 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > did
carry <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
unto Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and put <5148 nachah > them in
Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] the
river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and in the cities
<5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday >:
12 Because they obeyed <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, but
transgressed <5674 <abar > his covenant <1285 b@riyth >, [and]
all <3605 kol > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650
<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >,
and would not hear <8085 shama< > [them], nor <3808 lo> > do
<6213 <asah > [them].
13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428
melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > did Sennacherib <5576
Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the
fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, and took <8610 taphas > them.
14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >, saying

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967

thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091

15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > gave <5414 nathan > [him] all

16 At that time <6256 <eth > did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > cut
<7112 qatsats > off [the gold from] the doors <1817 deleth > of
the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and

had overlaid <6823 tsaphah >, and gave <5414 nathan > it to the
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
17. And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
sent <7971 shalach > Tartan <8661 Tartan > and Rabsaris <7249
Rab-Cariyc > and Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish <3923

18 And when they had called <7121 qara> > to the king <4428

19 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Speak <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great

trustest <0982 batach >?
20 Thou sayest <0559 >amar >, (but [they are but] vain <8193

and strength <1369 g@buwrah > for the war <4421 milchamah >. Now
<6258 <attah > on <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > dost thou trust

21 Now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, thou trustest
<0982 batach > upon the staff <4938 mish<enah > of this <2088
zeh > bruised <7533 ratsats > reed <7070 qaneh >, [even] upon
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, on <5921 <al > which <0834 >aher > if

22 But if <3588 kiy > ye say <0559 >amar > unto me, We trust
<0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430

and whose altars <4196 mizbeach > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
hath taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >, and hath said <0559

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >?
23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, give
pledges <6148 <arab > to my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and I will deliver <5414

if <0518 >im > thou be able <3201 yakol > on thy part to set
<5414 nathan > riders <7392 rakab > upon them.
24 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the
face <6440 paniym > of one <0259 >echad > captain <6346 pechah >
of the least <6996 qatan > of my master's <0113 >adown >
servants <5650 <ebed >, and put thy trust <0982 batach > on
<5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb >
and for horsemen <6571 parash >?
25 Am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without <1107
bil<adey > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > this

The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to me, Go <5927
<alah > up against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776

26 Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son

Shebna> >, and Joah <3098 Yow>ach >, unto Rabshakeh <7262
Rabshaqeh >, Speak <1696 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, to

the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am > that [are] on

27 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Hath my master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy
master <0113 >adown >, and to thee, to speak <1696 dabar > these

28 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 <amad > and
cried <7121 qara> > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl

the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >:
29 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >,
Let not Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > deceive <5377 nasha> > you:
for he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver <5337 natsal >

30 Neither <0408 >al > let Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > make you

31 Hearken <8085 shama< > not to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >:
for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, Make <6213 <asah > [an agreement]

33 Hath any <0376 >iysh > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the

34 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of
Hamath <2574 Chamath >, and of Arpad <0774 >Arpad >? where <0346

35 Who <4310 miy > [are] they among all <3605 kol > the gods

36 But the people <5971 <am > held <2790 charash > their peace

2Kings 19
1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek >
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [it], that he
rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and covered <3680
kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq >, and went <0935 bow>

2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, which
<0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith

elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen >, covered <3680
kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq >, to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531
>Amowts >.
3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, This <2088 zeh > day
<3117 yowm > [is] a day <3117 yowm > of trouble <6869 tsarah >,
and of rebuke <8433 towkechah >, and blasphemy <5007 n@>atsah >:
for the children <1121 ben > are come <0935 bow> > to the birth
<4866 mishber >, and [there is] not strength <3581 koach > to

4 It may <0194 >uwlay > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God
<0430 >elohiym > will hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the
words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh >, whom <0834

master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > to reproach

and will reprove <3198 yakach > the words <1697 dabar > which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >
hath heard <8085 shama< >: wherefore lift <5375 nasa> > up [thy]
prayer <8605 t@phillah > for the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > that
are left <4672 matsa> >.
5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >.
6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to your master <0113

Y@hovah >, Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words <1697 dabar

<0834 >aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek

7 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <5414 nathan > a blast <7307
ruwach > upon him, and he shall hear <8085 shama< > a rumour
<8052 sh@muw<ah >, and shall return <7725 shuwb > to his own
land <0776 >erets >; and I will cause him to fall <5307 naphal >
by the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776 >erets >.
8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and
found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804
>Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah
<3841 Libnah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was
departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >.
9 And when he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > of
Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king <4428 melek > of Ethiopia <3568
Kuwsh >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he is come <3318 yatsa> > out to

messengers <4397 mal>ak > again <7725 shuwb > unto Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >,
10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Let not thy God <0430 >elohiym > in whom

shall not be delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad >
of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
11 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast heard <8085 shama< > what
the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have done
<6213 <asah > to all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets >, by
destroying <2763 charam > them utterly: and shalt thou be
delivered <5337 natsal >?
12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy >
delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1>
have destroyed <0843 >Asheriy >; [as] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and
Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the
children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher >
[were] in Thelasar <8515 T@la>ssar >?
13 Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the king <4428 melek > of Hamath
<2574 Chamath >, and the king <4428 melek > of Arpad <0774

Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >, of Hena <2012 Hena< >, and Ivah
<5755 <Ivvah >?
14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the
letter <5612 cepher > of the hand <3027 yad > of the messengers
<4397 mal>ak >, and read <7121 qara> > it: and Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up into the house <1004 bayith >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and spread <6566 paras > it before
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > before
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >,
O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, which dwellest <3427 yashab > [between] the

[even] thou alone <0905 bad >, of all <3605 kol > the kingdoms
<4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets >; thou hast made
<6213 <asah > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >.
16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, bow <5186 natah > down <5186 natah >
thine ear <0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >: open <6491
paqach >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and
see <7200 ra>ah >: and hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar

sent <7971 shalach > him to reproach <2778 charaph. > the living
<2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym >.
17 Of a truth <0551 >omnam >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the kings
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have destroyed <2717
charab > the nations <1471 gowy > and their lands <0776 >erets >,
18 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym >
into the fire <0784 >esh >: for they [were] no <3808 lo> > gods

therefore they have destroyed <6> them.
19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God
<0430 >elohiym >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, save <3467 yasha<

<3045 yada< > that thou [art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

20. Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz
<0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, [That] which <0834 >aher > thou hast prayed <6419
palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb >
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > I have heard
<8085 shama< >.
21 This <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > that the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al >
him; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > the daughter <1323 bath > of
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > hath despised <0959 bazah > thee, [and]
laughed <3932 la<ag > thee to scorn; the daughter <1323 bath >
of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath shaken <5128 nuwa< > her
head <7218 ro>sh > at thee.
22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > and blasphemed
<1442 gadaph >? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > hast
thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [thy] voice <6963 qowl >, and lifted
<5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > on high <4791 marowm

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
23 By thy messengers <4397 mal>ak > thou hast reproached <2778
charaph. > the Lord <3068 Y@hovah >, and hast said <0559 >amar >,
With the multitude <7393 rekeb > of my chariots <7393 rekeb > I
am come <5927 <alah > up to the height <4791 marowm > of the
mountains <2022 har >, to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of Lebanon
<3844 L@banown >, and will cut <3772 karath > down the tall
<6967 qowmah > cedar <0730 >erez > trees thereof, [and] the
choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof: and I
will enter <0935 bow> > into the lodgings <4411 malown > of his
borders <7093 qets >, [and into] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of his
Carmel <3760 Karmel >.
24 I have digged <5365 naqar > and drunk <8354 shathah >
strange <2114 zuwr > waters <4325 mayim >, and with the sole
<3709 kaph > of my feet <6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab

matsowr > places.
25 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <7350 rachowq > ago
<7350 rachowq > [how] I have done <6213 <asah > it, [and] of
ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm > that I have formed
<3335 yatsar > it? now <6258 <attah > have I brought <0935 bow>

fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > [into] ruinous <5327
natsah > heaps <1530 gal >.
26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > were of small
<7116 qatser > power <3027 yad >, they were dismayed <2865
chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh >; they were [as] the
grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh >, and [as] the
green <3410 yarka> > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682
chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted
<7711 sh@dephah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm >
up.
27 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab >, and thy
going <3318 yatsa> > out, and thy coming <0935 bow> > in, and
thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me.
28 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413
>el > me and thy tumult <7600 sha>anan > is come <5927 <alah >
up into mine ears <0241 >ozen >, therefore I will put <7760 suwm

<4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah >, and I will turn <7725
shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870 derek > by
which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> >.
29 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto
thee, Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > this year <8141 shaneh > such
things as grow <5599 caphiyach > of themselves, and in the
second <8145 sheniy > year <8141 shaneh > that which springeth
<7823 shachiyc > of the same; and in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

qatsar >, and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem >, and
eat <0398 >akal > the fruits <6529 p@riy > thereof.
30 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413
p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
shall yet again <3254 yacaph > take <3947 laqach > root <8328
sheresh > downward <4295 mattah >, and bear <6213 <asah > fruit
<6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al >.
31 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >, and
they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har > Zion
<6726 Tsiyown >: the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > [of hosts] shall do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th >.
32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, He shall not come <0935
bow> > into <0413 >el > this city <5892 <iyr >, nor <3808 lo> >
shoot <3384 yarah > an arrow <2671 chets > there <8033 sham >,
nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before <6924 qedem > it with
shield <4043 magen >, nor cast <8210 shaphak > a bank <5550
col@lah > against <5921 <al > it.
33 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> >, by the
same shall he return <7725 shuwb >, and shall not come <0935
bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
34 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr >, to save <3467 yasha< > it, for mine own sake <4616
ma<an >, and for my servant <5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David >
sake <4616 ma<an >.
35. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass that night <3915 layil >,
that the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > went
<3318 yatsa> > out, and smote <5221 nakah > in the camp <4264
machaneh > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > an hundred <3967
me>ah > fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > and five <2568 chamesh >
thousand <0505 >eleph >: and when they arose <7925 shakam >
early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer >, behold <2009
hinneh >, they [were] all <3605 kol > dead <4191 muwth > corpses
<6297 peger >.
36 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< >, and went <3212
yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > at
Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh >.
37 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he was worshipping
<7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268
Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym >, that Adrammelech <0152
>Adrammelek > and Sharezer <8272 Shar>etser > his sons <1121 ben

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of
Armenia <0780 >Ararat >. And Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar-Chaddown >
his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478
tachath >.
2Kings 20
1. In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death <4191 muwth >. And
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son
<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > to him,
and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

in order <6680 tsavah >; for thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and
not live <2421 chayah >.
2 Then he turned <5437 cabab > his face <6440 paniym > to the
wall <7023 qiyr >, and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,
3 I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
remember <2142 zakar > now <4994 na> > how <0834 >aher > I have
walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee in truth <0571

and have done <6213 <asah > [that which is] good <2896 towb > in
thy sight <5869 <ayin >. And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept
<1058 bakah > sore <1419 gadowl >.
4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, afore <3808 lo> > Isaiah
<3470 Y@sha<yah > was gone <3318 yatsa> > out into the middle
<8484 tiykown > court <5892 <iyr >, that the word <1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to him, saying
<0559 >amar >,
5 Turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and tell <0559 >amar

people <5971 <am >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of David <1732
David > thy father <1>, I have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer
<8605 t@phillah >, I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears <1832
dim<ah >: behold <2005 hen >, I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee:
on the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > thou shalt go
<5927 <alah > up unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
6 And I will add <3254 yacaph > unto thy days <3117 yowm >
fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >; and I will deliver
<5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > out
of the hand <3709 kaph > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria
<0804 >Ashshuwr >; and I will defend <1598 ganan > this city
<5892 <iyr > for mine own sake <4616 ma<an >, and for my servant
<5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an >.
7 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947
laqach > a lump <1690 d@belah > of figs <8384 t@>en >. And they
took <3947 laqach > and laid <7760 suwm > [it] on <5921 <al >
the boil <7822 sh@chiyn >, and he recovered <2421 chayah >.
8 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Isaiah
<3470 Y@sha<yah >, What <4100 mah > [shall be] the sign <0226
>owth > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will heal <7495 rapha> >
me, and that I shall go <5927 <alah > up into the house <1004
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

9 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar >, This <2088
zeh > sign <0226 >owth > shalt thou have of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah >
the thing that he hath spoken <1696 dabar >: shall the shadow
<6738 tsel > go <1980 halak > forward ten <6235 <eser > degrees
<4609 ma<alah >, or go <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > ten
<6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah >?
10 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar >, It is
a light <7043 qalal > thing for the shadow <6738 tsel > to go
<5186 natah > down <5186 natah > ten <6235 <eser > degrees <4609

return <7725 shuwb > backward <0322 >achoranniyth > ten <6235

11 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and he
brought <7725 shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > ten <6235 <eser >

<0834 >aher > it had gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > in
the dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >.
12. At that time <6256 <eth > Berodachbaladan <1255 B@ro>dak
Bal>adan >, the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 Bal>adan >,
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, sent <7971 shalach

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > had been <1961 hayah > sick <2470
chalah >.
13 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto
them, and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them all <3605 kol > the house
<1004 bayith > of his precious <5238 n@koth > things, the silver

and [all <3605 kol >] the house <1004 bayith > of his armour

14 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar >, They are come

[even] from Babylon <0894 Babel >.
15 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > have they seen
<7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith >? And Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar >, All <3605 kol > [the things]

16 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

17 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

shall be carried <5375 nasa> > into Babylon <0894 Babel >:
nothing shall be left <3498 yathar >, saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
18 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa> >
from thee, which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget <3205 yalad >,
shall they take <3947 laqach > away; and they shall be eunuchs
<5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king <4428

19 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > unto
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >, Good <2896 towb > [is] the word <1697

not [good], if <0518 >im > peace <7965 shalowm > and truth <0571

20 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, and all <3605 kol > his might <1369

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

21 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>: and Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > his son <1121 ben >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.
2Kings 21
1. Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > [was] twelve years <8141 shaneh

And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Hephzibah

2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which <0834 >aher > was] evil
