: 1 . Now king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > was old <2204
zaqen > [ and ] stricken <0935 bow> > in years < 3117 yowm > ;
and they covered <3680 kacah > him with clothes <0899 beged > ,
but he gat no <3808 lo> > heat <3179 yacham > .

: 2 Wherefore his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar >
unto him , Let there be sought <1245 baqash > for my lord <0113
>adown > the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin
<1330 b@thuwlah > : and let her stand <5975 <amad > before <6440
paniym > the king <4428 melek > , and let her cherish <5532
cakan > him , and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436
cheyq > , that my lord <0113 >adown > the king < 4428 melek >
may get heat <2552 chamam > .

: 3 So they sought <1245 baqash > for a fair <3303 yapheh >
damsel <5291 na<arah > throughout all <3605 kol > the coasts
<1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and found <4672
matsa> > Abishag <49> a Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > , and
brought <0935 bow> > her to the king <4428 melek > .

: 4 And the damsel <5291 na<arah > [ was ] very < 3966 m@<od >
fair <3303 yapheh > , and cherished <5532 cakan > the king
<4428 melek > , and ministered <8334 sharath > to him : but the
king <4428 melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not .

: 5 . Then Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > exalted <5375 nasa> > himself ,
saying <0559 >amar > , I will be king <4427 malak > : and he
prepared <6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen
<6571 parash > , and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh
> to run <7323 ruwts > before <6440 paniym > him .

: 6 And his father <1> had not displeased <6087 < atsab > him at
any time <3117 yowm > in saying <0559 >amar > , Why <4069
madduwa< > hast thou done <6213 <asah > so < 3602 kakah > ? and
he also <1571 gam > [ was a ] very <3966 m@<od > goodly <2896
towb > [ man ] ; and [ his mother ] bare him after < 0310
>achar > Absalom <53> .

: 7 And he conferred with Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben
> of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > , and with Abiathar < 54> the
priest <3548 kohen > : and they following <0310 > achar >
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > helped <5826 <azar > [ him ] .

: 8 But Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > , and
Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111
Yowyada< > , and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy>
> , and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > , and Rei <7472 Re<iy > , and
the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men which <0834 >aher > [ belonged ]
to David <1732 David > , were not with Adonijah <0138
>Adoniyah > .

: 9 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > slew <2076 zabach > sheep
<6629 tso>n > andoxen <1241 baqar > and fat < 4806 m@riy> >
cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth , which
<0834 >aher > [ is ] by Enrogel <5883 <Eyn Rogel > , and
called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach >
the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > , and all <3605 kol >
the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king s
<4428 melek > servants <5650 <ebed > :

: 10 But Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,
and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > , and the mighty <1368 gibbowr >
men , and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach > ,
he called <7121 qara> > not .

: 11 . Wherefore Nathan <5416 Nathan > spake <0559 > amar >
unto Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , saying <0559 >amar > , Hast thou
not heard <8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 > Adoniyah > the son
<1121 ben > of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > doth reign <4427 malak
> , and David <1732 David > our lord <0113 >adown > knoweth
<3045 yada< > [ it ] not ?

: 12 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > , let me ,
I pray <4994 na> > thee , give thee counsel <6098 <etsah > ,
that thou mayest save <4422 malat > thine own life <5315 nephesh
> , and the life <5315 nephesh > of thy son <1121 ben > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > .

: 13 Go <3212 yalak > and get <0935 bow> > thee in unto king
<4428 melek > David <1732 David > , and say <0559 >amar > unto
him , Didst not thou , my lord <0113 >adown > , O king <4428
melek > , swear <7650 shaba< > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah
> , saying <0559 >amar > , Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after
<0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my
throne <3678 kicce> > ? why <4069 madduwa< > then doth Adonijah
<0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak > ?

: 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > , while thou yet <5750 < owd >
talkest <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428
melek > , I also will come <0935 bow> > in after < 0310 >achar >
thee , and confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar > .

: 15 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > went <0935 bow> > in
unto the king <4428 melek > into the chamber <2315 cheder > :
and the king <4428 melek > was very <3966 m@<od > old <2204
zaqen > ; and Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >
ministered <8334 sharath > unto the king <4428 melek > .

: 16 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > ,
and did obeisance <7812 shachah > unto the king <4428 melek > .
And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah
> wouldest thou ?

: 17 And she said <0559 >amar > unto him , My lord < 0113
>adown > , thou swarest <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519
>amah > , [ saying ] , Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after
<0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my
throne <3678 kicce> > .

: 18 And now <6258 <attah > , behold <2009 hinneh > ,
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak > ; and now ,
my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , thou knowest
<3045 yada< > [ it ] not :

: 19 And he hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > and
fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n >
in abundance <7230 rob > , and hath called <7121 qara> > all
<3605 kol > the sons <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > ,
and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > , and Joab <3097
Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > :
but Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he
not called <7121 qara> > .

: 20 And thou , my lord <0113 >adown > , O king < 4428 melek >
, the eyes <5869<ayin > of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > [ are ] upon thee , that thou shouldest tell <5046
nagad > them who <4310 miy > shall sit <3427 yashab > on <5921
<al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord < 0113 >adown > the
king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him .

: 21 Otherwise it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , when my
lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > shall sleep <7901
shakab > with his fathers <1> , that I and my son < 1121 ben >
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders < 2400
chatta> > .

: 22 And , lo <2009 hinneh > , while she yet <5750 <owd >
talked <1696 dabar > with the king <4428 melek > , Nathan <5416
Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also came < 0935 bow> > in .

: 23 And they told <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Behold <2009 hinneh > Nathan <5416
Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > . And when he was come
<0935 bow> > in before <6440 paniym > the king < 4428 melek > ,
he bowed <7812 shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king
<4428 melek > with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776
>erets > .

: 24 And Nathan <5416 Nathan > said <0559 >amar > , My lord
<0113 >adown > , O king <4428 melek > , hast thou said <0559
>amar > , Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall reign <4427 malak >
after <0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon
my throne <3678 kicce> > ?

: 25 For he is gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > this day
<3117 yowm > , and hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr >
and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629
tso>n > in abundance <7230 rob > , and hath called <7121 qara>
> all <3605 kol > the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,
and the captains <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > , and
Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ; and , behold <2009
hinneh > , they eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >
before <6440 paniym > him , and say <0559 >amar > , God save
<2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Adonijah .

: 26 But me , [ even ] me thy servant <5650 <ebed > , and
Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > , and Benaiah
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada < 3111 Yowyada< >
, and thy servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,
hath he not called <7121 qara> > .

: 27 Is this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > done by my lord
<0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , and thou hast not
shewed <3045 yada< > [ it ] unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,
who <4310 miy > should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678
kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king < 4428 melek > after
<0310 >achar > him ?

: 28 Then king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > answered <6030
<anah > and said <0559 >amar > , Call <7121 qara> > me
Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > . And she came <0935 bow> >
into the king s <4428 melek > presence <6440 paniym > , and
stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >
.

: 29 And the king <4428 melek > sware <7650 shaba< > , and
said <0559 >amar > , [ As ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth
<2416 chay > , that hath redeemed <6299 padah > my soul <5315
nephesh > out of all <3605 kol > distress <6869 tsarah > ,

: 30 Even <3588 kiy > as I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee by
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > , saying <0559 >amar > , Assuredly <3588 kiy >
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427
malak > after <0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab

even <3588 kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 <asah
> this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

: 31 Then Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed < 6915 qadad >
with [ her ] face <0639 >aph > to the earth <0776 >erets > ,
and did reverence <7812 shachah > to the king <4428 melek > ,
and said <0559 >amar > , Let my lord <0113 >adown > king <4428
melek > David <1732 David > live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769
<owlam > .

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

priest <3548 kohen > , and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > , and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben

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

: 33 The king <4428 melek > also said <0559 >amar > unto them ,
Take <3947 laqach > with you the servants <5650 < ebed > of your
lord <0113 >adown > , and cause Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > my son
<1121 ben > to ride <7392 rakab > upon mine own mule <6506
pirdah > , and bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > to
Gihon <1521 Giychown > :

: 34 And let Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > anoint <4886
mashach > him there <8033 sham > king <4428 melek > over <5921
<al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and blow <8628 taqa< > ye with
the trumpet <7782 showphar > , and say <0559 >amar > , God
save <2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Solomon < 8010 Sh@lomoh > .


: 35 Then ye shall come <5927 <alah > up after <0310 >achar >
him , that he may come <0935 bow> > and sit <3427 yashab > upon
my throne <3678 kicce> > ; for he shall be king < 4427 malak >
in my stead <8478 tachath > : and I have appointed <6680 tsavah
> him to be ruler <5057 nagiyd > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > and over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

: 36 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > answered <6030 <anah > the king <4428
melek > , and said <0559 >amar > , Amen <0543 >amen > : the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of my lord <0113
>adown > the king <4428 melek > say <0559 >amar > so <3651 ken >
[ too ] .

: 37 As the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been <1961 hayah > with
my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , even so <3651
ken > be he with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , and make his throne
<3678 kicce> > greater than the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord
<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > .

: 38 So Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > , and
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > , and Benaiah
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada < 3111 Yowyada< >
, and the Cherethites <3746 kariy > , and the Pelethites <6432
P@lethiy > , went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > , and
caused Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > to ride <7392 rakab > upon king
<4428 melek > David s <1732 David > mule <6506 pirdah > , and
brought <3212 yalak > him to Gihon <1521 Giychown > .

: 39 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > took
<3947 laqach > an horn <7161 qeren > of oil <8081 shemen > out
of the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > , and anointed <4886 mashach >
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > . And they blew <8628 taqa< > the
trumpet <7782 showphar > ; and all <3605 kol > the people <5971
<am > said <0559 >amar > , God save <2421 chayah > king <4428
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

: 40 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5927
<alah > up after <0310 >achar > him , and the people <5971 <am

rejoiced <8056 sameach > with great <1419 gadowl > joy <8057
simchah > , so that the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< >
with the sound <6963 qowl > of them .

: 41 . And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > and all <3605 kol > the
guests <7121 qara> > that [ were ] with him heard < 8085 shama<

sound <6963 qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar > , he said
<0559 >amar > , Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > [ is this ] noise
<6963 qowl > of the city <7151 qiryah > being in an uproar <1993
hamah > ?

: 42 And while he yet <5750 <owd > spake <1696 dabar > ,
behold <2009 hinneh > , Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the son
<1121 ben > of Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > came <0935
bow> > : and Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > said < 0559 >amar > unto
him , Come <0935 bow> > in ; for thou [ art ] a valiant
<2428 chayil > man <0376 >iysh > , and bringest <1319 basar >
good <2896 towb > tidings <1319 basar > .

: 43 And Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > answered <6030 < anah > and
said <0559 >amar > to Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > , Verily <61>
our lord <0113 >adown > king <4427 malak > David <1732 David >
hath made Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > king <4427 malak > .

: 44 And the king <4428 melek > hath sent <7971 shalach > with
him Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > , and Nathan
<5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > , and Benaiah <1141

P@lethiy > , and they have caused him to ride <7392 rakab >
upon the king s <4428 melek > mule <6506 pirdah > :

: 45 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > have anointed
<4886 mashach > him king <4428 melek > in Gihon < 1521 Giychown >
: and they are come <5927 <alah > up from thence < 8033 sham >
rejoicing <8056 sameach > , so that the city <7151 qiryah >
rang <1949 huwm > again . This <1931 huw> > [ is ] the noise
<6963 qowl > that ye have heard <8085 shama< > .

<3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the
kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > .

<5650 <ebed > came <0935 bow> > to bless < 1288 barak > our lord
<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > , saying
<0559 >amar > , God <0430 >elohiym > make the name <8034 shem >
of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > better <3190 yatab > than thy name
<8034 shem > , and make his throne <3678 kicce> > greater than
thy throne <3678 kicce> > . And the king <4428 melek > bowed
<7812 shachah > himself upon the bed <4904 mishkab > .

: 48 And also <1571 gam > thus <3602 kakah > said <0559 >amar >
the king <4428 melek > , Blessed <1288 barak > [ be ] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

kicce> > this day <3117 yowm > , mine eyes <5869 <ayin > even
seeing <7200 ra>ah > [ it ] .

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

and rose <6965 quwm > up , and went <3212 yalak > every man
<0376 >iysh > his way <1870 derek > .

: 50 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > feared <3372 yare> >
because <6440 paniym > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , and arose
<6965 quwm > , and went <3212 yalak > , and caught <2388
chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the
altar <4196 mizbeach > .

: 51 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , Adonijah <0138
>Adoniyah > feareth <3372 yare> > king <4428 melek > Solomon

<0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on the horns <7161 qeren > of
the altar <4196 mizbeach > , saying <0559 >amar > , Let king
<4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > swear <7650 shaba< > unto
me to day that he will not slay <4191 muwth > his servant <5650
<ebed > with the sword <2719 chereb > .

: 52 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > , If
<0518 >im > he will shew himself a worthy <2428 chayil > man
<1121 ben > , there shall not an hair <8185 sa<arah > of him
fall <5307 naphal > to the earth <0776 >erets > : but if <0518

him , he shall die <4191 muwth > .

: 53 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971
shalach > , and they brought <3381 yarad > him down < 3381 yarad

and bowed <7812 shachah > himself to king <4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > : and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar

: 1Kings 2

: 1 . Now the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > drew
nigh <7126 qarab >that he should die <4191 muwth > ; and he
charged <6680 tsavah > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his son <1121

: 2 I go <1980 halak > the way <1870 derek > of all <3605 kol >
the earth <0776 >erets > : be thou strong <2388 chazaq >
therefore , and shew thyself a man <0376 >iysh > ;

: 3 And keep <8104 shamar > the charge <4931 mishmereth > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > , to walk
<3212 yalak > in his ways <1870 derek > , to keep <8104 shamar

mitsvah > , and his judgments <4941 mishpat > , and his
testimonies <5715> , as it is written <3789 kathab > in the law
<8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > , that thou mayest
prosper <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213
<asah > , and whithersoever thou turnest <6437 panah > thyself :


: 4 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > may continue <6965 quwm > his
word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar >
concerning <5921 <al > me , saying <0559 >amar > , If <0518

way <1870 derek > , to walk <3212 yalak > before < 6440 paniym >
me in truth <0571 >emeth > with all <3605 kol > their heart
<3824 lebab > and with all <3605 kol > their soul < 5315 nephesh

man <0376 >iysh > on <5921 <al > the throne < 3678 kicce> > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 5 Moreover <1571 gam > thou knowest <3045 yada< > also <1571
gam > what Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah
<6870 Ts@ruwyah > did <6213 <asah > to me , [ and ] what
<0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > to the two <8147 sh@nayim >
captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > , unto Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369
Ner > , and unto Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of
Jether <3500 Yether > , whom he slew <2026 harag > , and shed
<7760 suwm > the blood <1818 dam > of war <4421 milchamah > in
peace <7965 shalowm > , and put <5414 nathan > the blood <1818
dam > of war <4421 milchamah > upon his girdle <2290 chagowr >
that [ was ] about his loins <4975 mothen > , and in his
shoes <5275 na<al > that [ were ] on his feet <7272 regel > .

: 6 Do <6213 <asah > therefore according to thy wisdom <2451
chokmah > , and let not his hoar <7872 seybah > head go <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@> owl > in peace
<7965 shalowm > .

: 7 But shew <6213 <asah > kindness <2617 checed > unto the
sons <1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite
<1569 Gil<adiy > , and let them be of those that eat <0398

came <0935 bow> > to me when I fled <1272 barach > because <6440
paniym > of Absalom <53> thy brother <0251 >ach > .

: 8 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , [ thou hast ] with thee
Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > the son <1121 ben > of Gera <1617 Gera> >
, a Benjamite <1145 Ben - y@miyniy > of Bahurim <0980 Bachuriym

<4834 marats > curse <7045 q@lalah > in the day < 3117 yowm >
when I went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim > : but
he came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet < 7125 qir>ah >
me at Jordan <3383 Yarden > , and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him
by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , saying <0559 >amar > , I will
not put thee to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb

: 9 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hold him not guiltless <5352
naqah > : forthou [ art ] a wise <2450 chakam > man <0376
>iysh > , and knowest <3045 yada< > what thou oughtest to do
<6213 <asah > unto him ; but his hoar <7872 seybah > head bring
<3381 yarad > thou down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl

: 10 So David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1> , and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892
<iyr > of David <1732 David > .

: 11 And the days <3117 yowm > that David <1732 David > reigned
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ were ]
forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > : seven <7651
sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Hebron
<2275 Chebrown > , and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and three
<7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned < 4427 malak > he
in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

: 12 . Then sat <3427 yashab > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > upon
the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > his father <1> ;
and his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > was established <3559 kuwn >
greatly <3966 m@<od > .

: 13 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > came <0935 bow> > to Bathsheba <1339
Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

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

: 14 He said <0559 >amar > moreover , I have somewhat to say
<1697 dabar > unto thee . And she said <0559 >amar > , Say
<1696 dabar > on .

: 15 And he said <0559 >amar > , Thou knowest <3045 yada< >
that the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine , and [ that ] all
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > set <7760 suwm > their faces
<6440 paniym > on <5921 <al > me , that I should reign <4427
malak > : howbeit the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > is turned <5437
cabab > about <5437 cabab > , and is become <1961 hayah > my
brother s <0251 >ach > : for it was his from the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > .

: 16 And now <6258 <attah > I ask <7592 sha>al > one <0259
>echad > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of thee , deny <7725 shuwb >
me not . And she said <0559 >amar > unto him , Say < 1696 dabar

: 17 And he said <0559 >amar > , Speak <0559 > amar > , I pray
<4994 na> > thee , unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the king <4428
melek > , ( for he will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay , )
that he give <5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767
Shuwnammiyth > to wife <0802 >ishshah > .

: 18 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > said <0559 >amar > ,
Well <2896 towb > ; I will speak <1696 dabar > for thee unto
the king <4428 melek > .

: 19 Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > therefore went < 0935 bow>
> unto king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , to speak
<1696 dabar > unto him for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > . And the
king <4428 melek > rose <6965 quwm > up to meet < 7125 qir>ah >
her , and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her , and sat
<3427 yashab > down on <5921 <al > his throne < 3678 kicce> > ,
and caused a seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the
king s <4428 melek > mother <0517 >em > ; and she sat <3427
yashab > on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand .

: 20 Then she said <0559 >amar > , I desire <7592 sha>al > one
<0259 >echad > small <6996 qatan > petition < 7596 sh@>elah > of
thee ; [ I pray thee ] , say <0559 >amar > me not nay <6440
paniym > . And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 > amar > unto
her , Ask <7592 sha>al > on , my mother <0517 > em > : for I
will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay .

: 21 And she said <0559 >amar > , Let Abishag < 49> the
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > be given <5414 nathan > to
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife
<0802 >ishshah > .

: 22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered
<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto his mother <0517 >em >
, And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49>
the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah

also ; for he [ is ] mine elder <1419 gadowl > brother <0251
>ach > ; even for him , and for Abiathar <54> the priest <3548
kohen > , and for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son < 1121 ben > of
Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > .

: 23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware
<7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , saying <0559 >amar

<3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > , if <3588 kiy > Adonijah <0138
>Adoniyah > have not spoken <1696 dabar > this < 2088 zeh > word
<1697 dabar > against his own life <5315 nephesh > .

: 24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore , [ as ] the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > , which <0834 >aher > hath
established <3559 kuwn > me , and set <3427 yashab > me on
<5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > my
father <1> , and who <0834 >aher > hath made < 6213 <asah > me
an house <1004 bayith > , as he promised <1696 dabar > ,
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall be put to death < 4191 muwth >
this day <3117 yowm > .

: 25 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971
shalach > by the hand <3027 yad > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the
son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ; and he fell
<6293 paga< > upon him that he died <4191 muwth > .

: 26 . And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said
<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > , Get < 3212 yalak > thee
to Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > , unto thine own fields <7704
sadeh > ; for thou [ art ] worthy <0376 >iysh > of death
<4194 maveth > : but I will not at this <2088 zeh > time <3117
yowm > put thee to death <4191 muwth > , because < 3588 kiy >
thou barest <5375 nasa> > the ark <0727 >arown > of the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > before < 6440 paniym > David
<1732 David > my father <1> , and because <3588 kiy > thou hast
been afflicted <6031 <anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834
>aher > my father <1> was afflicted <6031 <anah > .

: 27 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thrust <1644 garash > out
Abiathar <54> from being <1961 hayah > priest < 3548 kohen > unto
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; that he might fulfil <4390 male> >
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , which
<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the
house <1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887
Shiyloh > .

: 28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab
<3097 Yow>ab > : for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > had turned <5186 natah

turned <5186 natah > not after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53> .
And Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle
<0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and caught <2388
chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the
altar <4196 mizbeach > .

: 29 And it was told <5046 nagad > king <4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > was fled <5127 nuwc >
unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;
and , behold <2009 hinneh > , [ he is ] by the altar <4196
mizbeach > . Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent < 7971 shalach >
Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111
Yowyada< > , saying <0559 >amar > , Go <3212 yalak > , fall
<6293 paga< > upon him .

: 30 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > came <0935 bow> > to the
tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said
<0559 >amar > unto him , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the king <4428 melek > , Come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

die <4191 muwth > here <6311 poh > . And Benaiah < 1141 B@nayah
> brought <7725 shuwb > the king <4428 melek > word <1697 dabar

he answered <6030 <anah > me .

: 31 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
Do <6213 <asah > as he hath said <1696 dabar > , and fall <6293
paga< > upon him , and bury <6912 qabar > him ; that thou
mayest take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the innocent <2600
chinnam > blood <1818 dam > , which <0834 >aher > Joab <3097
Yow>ab > shed <8210 shaphak > , from me , and from the house
<1004 bayith > of my father <1> .

: 32 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb >
his blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > , who
<4310 miy > fell <6293 paga< > upon two <8147 sh@nayim > men
<0582 >enowsh > more righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and better <2896
towb > than he , and slew <2026 harag > them with the sword
<2719 chereb > , my father <1> David <1732 David > not knowing
<3045 yada< > [ thereof , to wit ] , Abner <74> the son
<1121 ben > of Ner <5369 Ner > , captain <8269 sar > of the
host <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and Amasa
<6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of Jether <3500 Yether > ,
captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > .

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

the head <7218 ro>sh > of his seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769
<owlam > : but upon David <1732 David > , and upon his seed
<2233 zera< > , and upon his house <1004 bayith > , and upon
his throne <3678 kicce> > , shall there be peace < 7965 shalowm
> for ever <5769 <owlam > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 34 So Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada
<3111 Yowyada< > went <5927 <alah > up , and fell <6293 paga< >
upon him , and slew <4191 muwth > him : and he was buried <6912
qabar > in his own house <1004 bayith > in the wilderness <4057
midbar > .

: 35 . And the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > Benaiah
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada < 3111 Yowyada< >
in his room <8478 tachath > over <5921 <al > the host <6635
tsaba> > : and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest < 3548 kohen >
did the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > in the room <8478
tachath > of Abiathar <54> .

: 36 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > , and said <0559 >amar

in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and dwell <3427 yashab >
there <8033 sham > , and go <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318
yatsa> > thence <8033 sham > any whither <0575 > an > .

: 37 For it shall be , [ that ] on the day <3117 yowm > thou
goest <3318 yatsa> > out , and passest <5674 < abar > over <5674
<abar > the brook <5158 nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown > , thou
shalt know <3045 yada< > for certain <3045 yada< > that thou
shalt surely die <4191 muwth > : thy blood <1818 dam > shall be
upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > .

: 38 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > said <0559 >amar > unto the
king <4428 melek > , The saying <1697 dabar > [ is ] good
<2896 towb > : as my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >
hath said <1696 dabar > , so <3651 ken > will thy servant <5650
<ebed > do <6213 <asah > . And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > dwelt
<3427 yashab > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > many <7227 rab

: 39 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7093 qets >
of three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > , that two <8147
sh@nayim > of the servants <5650 <ebed > of Shimei <8096 Shim<iy

ben > of Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > king <4428 melek > of Gath
<1661 Gath > . And they told <5046 nagad > Shimei <8096 Shim<iy

servants <5650 <ebed > [ be ] in Gath <1661 Gath > .

: 40 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > arose <6965 quwm > , and
saddled <2280 chabash > his ass <2543 chamowr > , and went
<3212 yalak > to Gath <1661 Gath > to Achish <0397 >Akiysh > to
seek <1245 baqash > his servants <5650 <ebed > : and Shimei
<8096 Shim<iy > went <3212 yalak > , and brought <0935 bow> >
his servants <5650 <ebed > from Gath <1661 Gath > .

: 41 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >
that Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > had gone <1980 halak > from
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Gath <1661 Gath > , and was
come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > .

: 42 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > , and said <0559 >amar

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and protested <5749 <uwd > unto thee ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Know <3045 yada< > for a certain <3045
yada< > , on the day <3117 yowm > thou goest < 3318 yatsa> > out
, and walkest <1980 halak > abroad any whither <0575 >an > ,
that thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > ? and thou saidst
<0559 >amar > unto me , The word <1697 dabar > [ that ] I

: 7 And now <6258 <attah > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God
<0430 >elohiym > , thou hast made thy servant <5650 <ebed >
king <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David

child <5288 na<ar > : I know <3045 yada< > not [ how ] to go

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

according to thy words <1697 dabar > : lo <2009 hinneh > , I
have given <5414 nathan > thee a wise <2450 chakam > and an

<1571 gam > riches <6239 <osher > , and honour <3519 kabowd > :
so that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings

: 14 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my ways
<1870 derek > , to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq >
and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > , as thy father < 1> David
<1732 David > did walk <1980 halak > , then I will lengthen
<0748 >arak > thy days <3117 yowm > .

: 15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > awoke <3364 yaqats > ; and ,
behold <2009 hinneh > , [ it was ] a dream <2472 chalowm > .
And he came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,

<6865 Tsor > sent <7971 shalach > his servants < 5650 <ebed >
unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ; for he had <1961 hayah > heard
<8085 shama< > that they had <1961 hayah > anointed <4886
mashach > him king <4428 melek > in the room <8478 tachath > of
his father <1> : for Hiram <2438 Chiyram > was ever a lover
<0157 >ahab > of David <1732 David > .

: 2 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > to Hiram
<2438 Chiyram > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 3 Thou knowest <3045 yada< > how that David <1732 David > my
father <1> could <3201 yakol > not build <1129 banah > an house

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

: 4 But now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God
<0430 >elohiym > hath given me rest <5117 nuwach > on every

neither <0369 >ayin > adversary <7854 satan > nor <0369 >ayin >
evil <7451 ra< > occurrent <6294 pega< > .

: 5 And , behold <2005 hen > , I purpose <0559 > amar > to
build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto the name <8034
shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 > elohiym > , as
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > unto David <1732
David > my father <1> , saying <0559 >amar > , Thy son <1121

throne <3678 kicce> > in thy room <8478 tachath > , he shall
build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto my name <8034

: 6 Now <6258 <attah > therefore command <6680 tsavah > thou
that they hew <3772 karath > me cedar <0730 >erez > trees out of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ; and my servants <5650 < ebed > shall
be with thy servants <5650 <ebed > : and unto thee will I give
<5414 nathan > hire <7939 sakar > for thy servants <5650 <ebed >
according to all <3605 kol > that thou shalt appoint < 0559 >amar

us any <0376 >iysh > that can skill <3045 yada< > to hew <3772
karath > timber <6086 <ets > like unto the Sidonians <6722
Tsiydoniy > .

: 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Hiram < 2438
Chiyram > heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , that he rejoiced <8055 samach >
greatly <3966 m@<od > , and said <0559 >amar > , Blessed <1288
barak > [ be ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > this day < 3117 yowm > ,
which <0834 >aher > hath given <5414 nathan > unto David <1732
David > a wise <2450 chakam > son <1121 ben > over <5921 <al >
this <2088 zeh > great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > .

: 8 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > , saying <0559 >amar > , I have considered
<8085 shama< > the things which <0834 >aher > thou sentest <7971
shalach > to me for : [ and ] I will do <6213 <asah > all

: 9 My servants <5650 <ebed > shall bring <3381 yarad > [ them
] down <3381 yarad > from Lebanon <3844 L@banown > unto the sea
<3220 yam > : and I will convey <7760 suwm > them by sea <3220

that thou shalt appoint <7971 shalach > me , and will cause
them to be discharged <5310 naphats > there <8033 sham > , and
thou shalt receive <5375 nasa> > [ them ] : and thou shalt
accomplish <6213 <asah > my desire <2656 chephets > , in giving
<5414 nathan > food <3899 lechem > for my household <1004 bayith

: 10 . So Hiram <2438 Chiyram > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > cedar <0730 >erez > trees < 6086 <ets > and fir
<1265 b@rowsh > trees <6086 <ets > [ according to ] all <3605

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

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

: 13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > raised
<5927 <alah > a levy <4522 mac > out of all < 3605 kol > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > ; and the levy <4522 mac > was thirty <7970

over the people <5971 <am > that wrought <6213 < asah > in the

: 17 And the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > , and
they brought <5265 naca< > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68> ,
costly <3368 yaqar > stones <68> , [ and ] hewed <1496

Hiram s <2438 Chiyram > builders <1129 banah > did hew <6458
pacal > [ them ] , and the stonesquarers <1382 Gibliy > : so
they prepared <3559 kuwn > timber <6086 <ets > and stones <68>

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

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

: 5 And against <5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > of the house
<1004 bayith > he built <1129 banah > chambers < 3326 yatsuwa< >
round <5439 cabiyb > about , [ against ] the walls < 7023 qiyr

[ in the wall ] of the house <1004 bayith > he made < 5414
nathan > narrowed <4052 migra<ah > rests round < 5439 cabiyb >
about , that [ the beams ] should not be fastened <0270

: 7 And the house <1004 bayith > , when it was in building
<1129 banah > , was built <1129 banah > of stone < 68> made
ready <8003 shalem > before <4551 macca< > it was brought <4551

chamber <6763 tsela< > [ was ] in the right <3233 y@maniy >
side <3802 katheph > of the house <1004 bayith > : and they went

out of the middle <8484 tiykown > into <0413 >el > the third

finished <3615 kalah > it ; and covered <5603 caphan > the
house <1004 bayith > with beams <1356 geb > and boards <7713

: 14 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > the house
<1004 bayith > , and finished <3615 kalah > it .

flowers <6731 tsiyts > : and covered <6823 tsaphah > [ them ]
with gold <2091 zahab > fitted <3474 yashar > upon the carved

seven <7651 sheba< > for the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805

: 18 And he made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 < ammuwd > ,
and two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > round < 5439 cabiyb >
about upon the one <0259 >echad > network <7639 s@bakah > , to
cover <3680 kacah > the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [ were

: 19 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [ were ] upon
the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [ were ]
of lily <7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh > in the porch <0197

: 21 And he set <6965 quwm > up the pillars <5982 < ammuwd > in
the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the temple <1964 heykal > : and he
set <6965 quwm > up the right <3225 yamiyn > pillar <5982

: 22 And upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars < 5982
<ammuwd > [ was ] lily <7799 shuwshan > work < 4639 ma<aseh > :
so was the work <4399 m@la>kah > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >
finished <8552 tamam > .

: 23 And he made <6213 <asah > a molten <3332 yatsaq > sea
<3220 yam > , ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > from the
one brim <8193 saphah > to the other : [ it was ] round <5696
<agol > all about , and his height <6967 qowmah > [ was ]
five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > : and a line <6957
qav > of thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 > ammah > did
compass <5437 cabab > it round <5439 cabiyb > about .

: 24 And under <8478 tachath > the brim <8193 saphah > of it
round <5439 cabiyb > about [ there were ] knops <6497 peqa< >
compassing <5437 cabab > it , ten <6235 <eser > in a cubit
<0520 >ammah > , compassing <5362 naqaph > the sea <3220 yam >
round <5439 cabiyb > about : the knops <6497 peqa< > [ were ]
cast <3333 y@tsukah > in two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > ,
when it was cast <3333 y@tsukah > .

: 25 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar > ,
three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the north
<6828 tsaphown > , and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437

three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the east
<4217 mizrach > : and the sea <3220 yam > [ was set ] above
<4605 ma<al > upon them , and all <3605 kol > their hinder
<0268 >achowr > parts [ were ] inward <1004 bayith > .

: 26 And it [ was ] an hand <2947 tephach > breadth < 2947
tephach > thick <5672<abiy > , and the brim <8193 saphah >
thereof was wrought <4639 ma<aseh > like the brim < 8193 saphah >
of a cup <3563 kowc > , with flowers <6525 perach > of lilies
<7799 shuwshan > : it contained <3557 kuwl > two thousand <0505

: 27 And he made <6213 <asah > ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350
m@kownah > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > ; four <0702 >arba< >
cubits <0520 >ammah > [ was ] the length <0753 > orek > of one
<0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > , and four <0702 >arba< >
cubits <0520 >ammah > the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof , and
three <7969 shalowsh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the height <6967
qowmah > of it .

: 28 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the bases <4350 m@kownah >
[ was ] on this<2088 zeh > [ manner ] : they had borders
<4526 micgereth > , and the borders <4526 micgereth > [ were ]
between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > :

: 29 And on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 micgereth > that [
were ] between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > [ were ]
lions <0738 >ariy > , oxen <1241 baqar > , and cherubims
<3742 k@ruwb > : and upon the ledges <7948 shalab > [ there was
] a base <3653 ken > above <4605 ma<al > : and beneath <8478
tachath > the lions <0738 >ariy > and oxen <1241 baqar > [ were
] certain additions <3914 loyah > made <6213 <asah > of thin
<4174 mowrad > work <4639 ma<aseh > .

: 30 And every <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > had four
<0702 >arba< >brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wheels <0212 >owphan > ,
and plates <5633 ceren > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > : and the
four <0702 >arba< > corners <6471 pa<am > thereof had
undersetters <3802 katheph > : under <8478 tachath > the laver
<3595 kiyowr > [ were ] undersetters <3802 katheph > molten
<3332 yatsaq > , at the side <5676 <eber > of every <0376 >iysh

: 31 And the mouth <6310 peh > of it within <1004 bayith > the
chapiter <3805 kothereth > and above <4605 ma<al > [ was ] a
cubit <0520 >ammah > : but the mouth <6310 peh > thereof [ was
] round <5696 <agol > [ after ] the work <4639 ma<aseh > of
the base <3653 ken > , a cubit <0520 >ammah > and an half <2677
chetsiy > : and also <1571 gam > upon the mouth <6310 peh > of
it [ were ] gravings with their borders <4526 micgereth > ,
foursquare <7251 raba< > , not round <5696 <agol > .

: 32 And under <8478 tachath > the borders <4526 micgereth > [
were ] four <0702 >arba< > wheels <0212 > owphan > ; and the
axletrees <3027 yad > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > [ were
joined ] to the base <4350 m@kownah > : and the height < 6967
qowmah > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > [ was ] a cubit <0520
>ammah > and half <2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah > .

: 33 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the wheels < 0212 >owphan >
[ was ] like the work <4639 ma<aseh > of a chariot < 4818
merkabah > wheel <0212 >owphan > : their axletrees <3027 yad > ,
and their naves <1354 gab > , and their felloes <2839
chishshuq > , and their spokes <2840 chishshur > , [ were ]
all <3605 kol > molten <3332 yatsaq > .

: 34 And [ there were ] four <0702 >arba< > undersetters
<3802 katheph > to the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6438 pinnah

they will turn <5186 natah > away your heart <3824 lebab > after
<0310 >achar > their gods <0430 >elohiym > : Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto these <1992 hem > in love
<0160 >ahabah > .

: 3 And he had <1961 hayah > seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967

and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > concubines
<6370 piylegesh > : and his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186
natah > away his heart <3820 leb > .

: 4 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when <6256 < eth >
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah > , [ that ]
his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart
<3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods
<0430 >elohiym > : and his heart <3824 lebab > was not perfect
<8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430

<1732 David > his father <1> .

: 5 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > after <0310

: 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451

and went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 > achar > the LORD

: 7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an
high <1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > , the
abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , in the

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the children <1121 ben > of
Ammon <5983 <Ammown > .

: 8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076
zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym > .

: 9 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was angry <0599 > anaph >
with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , because <3588 kiy > his heart
<3824 lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,
which had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him twice <6471 pa<am > ,

: 10 And had commanded <6680 tsavah > him concerning < 5921 <al

<3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods
<0430 >elohiym > : but he kept <8104 shamar > not that which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > .


: 11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559

zo>th > is done of thee , and thou hast not kept <8104 shamar >
my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,
which <0834 >aher > I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee , I
will surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from
thee , and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant < 5650

: 12 Notwithstanding <0389 >ak > in thy days <3117 yowm > I
will not do <6213 <asah > it for David <1732 David > thy father
s <1> sake <4616 ma<an > : [ but ] I will rend <7167 qara< >
it out of the hand <3027 yad > of thy son <1121 ben > .

: 13 Howbeit <7535 raq > I will not rend <7167 qara< > away all
<3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ; [ but ] will give
<5414 nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > to thy
son <1121 ben > for David <1732 David > my servant s <5650 <ebed

sake <4616 ma<an > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977
bachar > .

: 14 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <6965 quwm > up an
adversary <7854 satan > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , Hadad
<1908 Hadad > the Edomite <0130 >Edomiy > : he [ was ] of the
king s <4428 melek > seed <2233 zera< > in Edom <0123 >Edom > .

: 15 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when David < 1732
David > was in Edom <0123 >Edom > , and Joab < 3097 Yow>ab > the
captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was gone <5927
<alah > up to bury <6912 qabar > the slain <2491 chalal > ,
after he had smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145
zakar > in Edom <0123 >Edom > ;

: 16 ( For six <8337 shesh > months <2320 chodesh > did Joab
<3097 Yow>ab > remain <3427 yashab > there < 8033 sham > with all
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , until < 5704 <ad > he had
cut <3772 karath > off every <3605 kol > male < 2145 zakar > in
Edom <0123 >Edom > : )

: 17 That Hadad <1908 Hadad > fled <1272 barach > , he and
certain <0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father s < 1> servants
<5650 <ebed > with him , to go <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim > ; Hadad <1908 Hadad > [ being ] yet a little
<6996 qatan > child <5288 na<ar > .

: 18 And they arose <6965 quwm > out of Midian <4080 Midyan > ,
and came <0935 bow> > to Paran <6290 Pa>ran > : and they took
<3947 laqach > men <0582 >enowsh > with them out of Paran <6290
Pa>ran > , and they came <0935 bow> > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim

<4714 Mitsrayim > ; which gave <5414 nathan > him an house
<1004 bayith > , and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899
lechem > , and gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets > .

: 19 And Hadad <1908 Hadad > found <4672 matsa> > great <3966
m@<od > favour <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 < ayin > of
Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > , so that he gave <5414 nathan > him to
wife <0802 >ishshah > the sister <0269 >achowth > of his own
wife <0802 >ishshah > , the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes
<8472 Tachp@neyc > the queen <1377 g@biyrah > .

: 20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes < 8472
Tachp@neyc > bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath >
his son <1121 ben > , whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned
<1580 gamal > in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > house <1004 bayith > :
and Genubath <1592 G@nubath > was in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh >
household <1004 bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben
> of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > .

: 21 And when Hadad <1908 Hadad > heard <8085 shama< > in Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim > that David <1732 David > slept < 7901 shakab >
with his fathers <1> , and that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain
<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was dead <4191 muwth > ,
Hadad <1908 Hadad > said <0559 >amar > to Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >
, Let me depart <7971 shalach > , that I may go <3212 yalak >
to mine own country <0776 >erets > .

: 22 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
But what <4100 mah > hast thou lacked <2638 chacer > with me ,
that , behold <2009 hinneh > , thou seekest <1245 baqash > to
go <3212 yalak > to thine own country <0776 >erets > ? And he
answered <0559 >amar > , Nothing <3808 lo> > : howbeit let me
go <7971 shalach > in any wise .

: 23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up [
another ] adversary <7854 satan > , Rezon <7331 R@zown > the
son <1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< > , which <0834 >aher

<1909 Hadad<ezer > king <4428 melek > of Zobah < 6678 Tsowba> > :

: 24 And he gathered <6908 qabats > men <0582 > enowsh > unto
him , and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band
<1416 g@duwd > , when David <1732 David > slew < 2026 harag >
them [ of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > ] : and they went < 3212 yalak
> to Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , and dwelt <3427 yashab >
therein , and reigned <4427 malak > in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq

: 25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel < 3478
Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > , beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< >
that Hadad <1908 Hadad > [ did ] : and he abhorred < 6973 quwts

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

: 26 . And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of
Nebat <5028 N@bat > , an Ephrathite <0673 >Ephrathiy > of
Zereda , Solomon s <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 < ebed > ,
whose mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [ was ] Zeruah ,
a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > , even he
lifted <7311 ruwm > up [ his ] hand <3027 yad > against the
king <4428 melek > .

: 27 And this <2088 zeh > [ was ] the cause <1697 dabar >
that he lifted <7311 ruwm > up [ his ] hand <3027 yad >
against the king <4428 melek > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built
<1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> > , [ and ] repaired <5462
cagar > the breaches <6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of
David <1732 David > his father <1> .

: 28 And the man <0376 >iysh > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > [ was
] a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man of valour <2428 chayil > : and
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > seeing <7200 ra>ah > the young <5288
na<ar > man that he was industrious , he made him ruler <6485
paqad > over all <3605 kol > the charge <5447 cebel > of the
house <1004 bayith > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > .

: 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at that time < 6256 <eth

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , that the prophet <5030 nabiy>

<4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek > ; and he had clad
<3680 kacah > himself <1931 huw> > with a new < 2319 chadash >
garment <8008 salmah > ; and they two <8147 sh@nayim > [ were
] alone <0905 bad > in the field <7704 sadeh > :

: 30 And Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > caught <8610 taphas > the new
<2319 chadash > garment <8008 salmah > that [ was ] on <5921
<al > him , and rent <7167 qara< > it [ in ] twelve pieces
<7168 qera< > :

: 31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,
Take <3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< > :
for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Behold <2005 hen > , I will rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom
<4467 mamlakah > out of the hand <3027 yad > of Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > , and will give <5414 nathan > ten <6235 <eser >
tribes <7626 shebet > to thee :

: 32 ( But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 > echad >
tribe <7626 shebet > for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732
David > sake <4616 ma<an > , and for Jerusalem s < 3389
Y@ruwshalaim > sake <4616 ma<an > , the city < 5892 <iyr > which
<0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol

: 33 Because that they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me , and
have worshipped <7812 shachah > Ashtoreth <6252 < Ashtarowth >
the goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,
Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the
Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > , and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god

statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my judgments <4941 mishpat > , as
[ did ] David <1732 David > his father <1> .

: 34 Howbeit I will not take <3947 laqach > the whole kingdom
<4467 mamlakah > out of his hand <3027 yad > : but I will make
him prince <5387 nasiy> > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm >
of his life <2416 chay > for David my servant s <5650 <ebed >

because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments

: 36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan >
one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > , that David <1732
David > my servant <5650 <ebed > may have a light < 5216 niyr >

: 37 And I will take <3947 laqach > thee , and thou shalt
reign <4427 malak > according to all <3605 kol > that thy soul
<5315 nephesh > desireth <8378 ta>avah > , and shalt be king

: 38 And it shall be , if <0518 >im > thou wilt hearken <8085
shama< > unto all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee
, and wilt walk <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek > , and
do <6213 <asah > [ that is ] right <3477 yashar > in my sight
<5869 <ayin > , to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2708
chuqqah > and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > , as David <1732
David > my servant <5650 <ebed > did <6213 < asah > ; that I
will be with thee , and build <1129 banah > thee a sure <0539

: 39 And I will for this <2063 zo>th > afflict <6031 <anah >
the seed <2233 zera< > of David <1732 David > , but not for

: 40 Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sought <1245 baqash > therefore
to kill <4191 muwth > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > . And Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am > arose <6965 quwm > , and fled <1272 barach >
into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , unto Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq >
king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , and was in
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > until <5704 <ad > the death <4194 maveth

<6213 <asah > , and his wisdom <2451 chokmah > , [ are ]
they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of

: 42 And the time <3117 yowm > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >
reigned <4427 malak > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > over
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ was ]
forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > .

: 43 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1> , and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892
<iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1> : and Rehoboam
<7346 R@chab<am > his son <1121 ben > reigned < 4427 malak > in
his stead <8478 tachath > .

: 1Kings 12

: 1 . And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > went <3212 yalak > to
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > : for all <3605 kol > Israel <3478

: 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Jeroboam < 3379
Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > , who
<1931 huw> > was yet <5750 <owd > in Egypt < 4714 Mitsrayim > ,
heard <8085 shama< > [ of it ] , ( for he was fled <1272

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob< am > dwelt
<3427 yashab > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ; )

: 3 That they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him
. And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the
congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935

put <5414 nathan > upon us , lighter <7043 qalal > , and we
will serve <5647 <abad > thee .

: 5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them , Depart < 3212 yalak >
yet <5750 <owd > [ for ] three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117

And the people <5971 <am > departed <3212 yalak > .

: 6 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > consulted
<3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men , that stood
<5975 <amad > before Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his father <1>
while he yet lived <2416 chay > , and said <0559 > amar > , How

: 8 But he forsook <5800 <azab > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of
the old <2205zaqen > men , which <0834 >aher > they had given
<3289 ya<ats > him , and consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the

: 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them , What < 4100 mah >
counsel <3289 ya<ats > give ye that we may answer < 1697 dabar >
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > , who < 0834 >aher > have
spoken <1696 dabar > to me , saying <0559 >amar > , Make the
yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > thy father <1> did put
<5414 nathan > upon us lighter <7043 qalal > ?

: 10 And the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown < 1431
gadal > up with him spake <1696 dabar > unto him , saying <0559
>amar > , Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou speak <0559 >amar > unto
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > that spake < 1696 dabar >
unto thee , saying <0559 >amar > , Thy father <1> made our
yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > , but make thou [ it ]
lighter <7043 qalal > unto us ; thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say
<0559 >amar > unto them , My little <6996 qatan > [ finger ]
shall be thicker <5666 <abah > than my father s <1> loins <4975
mothen > .

: 11 And now <6258 <attah > whereas my father <1> did lade
<6006 <amac > you with a heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > ,
I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father
<1> hath chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips < 7752 showt > ,
but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions < 6137
<aqrab > .

: 12 So Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the
people <5971 <am > came <0935 bow> > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am

<4428 melek > had appointed <1696 dabar > , saying <0559 >amar

<7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > .

: 13 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > the
people <5971 <am > roughly <7186 qasheh > , and forsook <5800
<azab > the old <2205 zaqen > men s counsel <6098 <etsah > that
they gave <3289 ya<ats > him ;

: 14 And spake <1696 dabar > to them after the counsel < 6098
<etsah > of the young <3206 yeled > men , saying < 0559 >amar > ,
My father <1> made your yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,
and I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my
father <1> [ also ] chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips
<7752 showt > , but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with
scorpions <6137 <aqrab > .

: 15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened
<8085 shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am > ; for the cause
<5438 cibbah > was from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , that he
might perform <6965 quwm > his saying <1697 dabar > , which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake < 1696 dabar > by
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > unto
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028
N@bat > .

: 16 . So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra> el > saw
<7200 ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama<

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

neither <3808 lo> > [ have we ] inheritance <5159 nachalah >
in the son <1121 ben > of Jesse <3448 Yishay > : to your tents
<0168 >ohel > , O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : now <6258 <attah >
see <7200 ra>ah > to thine own house <1004 bayith > , David
<1732 David > . So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak

: 17 But [ as for ] the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > which dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > reigned
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > them .

: 18 Then king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab< am > sent
<7971 shalach > Adoram <0151 >Adoram > , who < 0834 >aher > [
was ] over <5921 <al > the tribute <4522 mac > ; and all <3605
kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > stoned <7275 ragam > him with
stones <68> , that he died <4191 muwth > . Therefore king
<4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats

to flee <5127 nuwc > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

: 19 So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against
the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > unto this <2088
zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

: 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when all < 3605 kol >
Israel <3478Yisra>el > heard <8085 shama< > that Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am > was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > , that
they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him unto the
congregation <5712 <edah > , and made him king <4427 malak >
over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : there
was none <3808 lo> > that followed <0310 >achar > the house
<1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > , but the tribe <7626
shebet > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad > .

: 21 And when Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > was come < 0935 bow> >
to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , he assembled <6950 qahal >
all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah

, an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym >
thousand <0505 >eleph > chosen <0970 bachuwr > men , which were
warriors , to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , to bring
<7725 shuwb > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again < 7725 shuwb >
to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > .

: 22 But the word <1697 dabar > of God <0430 > elohiym > came
<1961 hayah > unto Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 23 Speak <0559 >amar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > , the
son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , king <4428 melek
> of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and unto all <3605 kol > the
house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Benjamin
<1144 Binyamiyn > , and to the remnant <3499 yether > of the
people <5971 <am > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , Ye shall not go <5927 <alah > up , nor <3808 lo> >
fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > your brethren <0251

return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004
bayith > ; for this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > is from me .
They hearkened <8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and returned < 7725 shuwb

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 25 . Then Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > built <1129 banah >
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > in mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669
>Ephrayim > , and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein ; and went
<3318 yatsa> > out from thence <8033 sham > , and built <1129
banah > Penuel <6439 P@nuw>el > .

: 26 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 > amar > in his
heart <3820 leb > , Now <6258 <attah > shall the kingdom <4467
mamlakah > return <7725 shuwb > to the house <1004 bayith > of
David <1732 David > :

: 27 If <0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > people < 5971 <am > go
<5927 <alah > up to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach > in
the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > at
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , then shall the heart < 3820 leb

again <7725 shuwb > unto their lord <3068 Y@hovah > , [ even ]
unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > , and they shall kill <2026 harag > me , and
go again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

: 28 Whereupon the king <4428 melek > took counsel < 3289 ya<ats

<egel > [ of ] gold <2091 zahab > , and said < 0559 >amar >
unto them , It is too much <7227 rab > for you to go < 5927
<alah > up to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : behold <2009
hinneh > thy gods <0430 >elohiym > , O Israel < 3478 Yisra>el > ,
which <0834 >aher > brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of the
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

: 29 And he set <7760 suwm > the one <0259 >echad > in Bethel
<1008 Beyth - >El > , and the other <0259 >echad > put <5414
nathan > he in Dan <1835 Dan > .

: 30 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961
hayah > a sin <2403 chatta>ah > : for the people < 5971 <am >
went <3212 yalak > [ to worship ] before <6440 paniym > the
one <0259 >echad > , [ even ] unto Dan <1835 Dan > .

: 31 And he made <6213 <asah > an house <1004 bayith > of high
<1116 bamah > places , and made <6213 <asah > priests <3548
kohen > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people < 5971 <am > ,
which <0834 >aher > were not of the sons <1121 ben > of Levi
<3878 Leviy > .

: 32 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ordained <6213 <asah > a
feast <2282 chag > in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320
chodesh > , on the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day < 3117 yowm > of
the month <2320 chodesh > , like unto the feast <2282 chag >
that [ is ] in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and he offered <5927

<6213 <asah > he in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > , sacrificing
<2076 zabach > unto the calves <5695 <egel > that he had made
<6213 <asah > : and he placed <5975 <amad > in Bethel <1008
Beyth - >El > the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah

: 33 So he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar < 4196 mizbeach

Beyth - >El > the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day < 3117 yowm > of
the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh > , [ even ]
in the month <2320 chodesh > which <0834 >aher > he had devised
<0908 bada> > of his own heart <3820 leb > ; and ordained <6213
<asah > a feast <2282 chag > unto the children < 1121 ben > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and he offered <5927 < alah > upon the
altar <4196 mizbeach > , and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999

: 1Kings 13

: 1 . And , behold <2009 hinneh > , there came <0935 bow> >
a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > out of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
unto Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >
stood <5975 <amad > by the altar <4196 mizbeach > to burn <6999

: 2 And he cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar
<4196 mizbeach > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , O altar < 4196 mizbeach > ,
altar <4196 mizbeach > , thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; Behold <2009 hinneh > , a child

the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places that
burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon thee , and men s

: 3 And he gave <5414 nathan > a sign <4159 mowpheth > the same

: 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when king < 4428 melek

<1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God < 0430 >elohiym > ,
which <0834 >aher > had cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al >
the altar <4196 mizbeach > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - > El > , that
he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad

hold <8610 taphas > on him . And his hand <3027 yad > , which
<0834 >aher > he put <7971 shalach > forth < 7971 shalach >
against <5921 <al > him , dried <3001 yabesh > up , so that he
could <3201 yakol > not pull <7725 shuwb > it in again <7725
shuwb > to him .

: 5 The altar <4196 mizbeach > also was rent <7167 qara< > ,
and the ashes <1880 deshen > poured <8210 shaphak > out from the
altar <4196 mizbeach > , according to the sign <4159 mowpheth >
which <0834 >aher > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym

<3068 Y@hovah > .

: 6 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said
<0559 >amar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >
, Intreat <2470 chalah > now <4994 na> > the face <6440 paniym

pray <6419 palal > for me , that my hand <3027 yad > may be
restored <7725 shuwb > me again <7725 shuwb > . And the man
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > besought <2470 chalah >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and the king s <4428 melek > hand
<3027 yad > was restored <7725 shuwb > him again < 7725 shuwb > ,
and became <1961 hayah > as [ it was ] before <7223 ri>shown

: 7 And the king <4428 melek > said <1696 dabar > unto the man
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , Come <0935 bow> > home
<1004 bayith > with me , and refresh <5582 ca<ad > thyself ,
and I will give <5414 nathan > thee a reward <4991 mattath > .

: 8 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 > elohiym > said
<0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > , If <0518 >im > thou
wilt give <5414 nathan > me half <2677 chetsiy > thine house

neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem

nor <3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > by the
same way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak > .

: 10 So he went <3212 yalak > another <0312 >acher > way <1870
derek > , and returned <7725 shuwb > not by the way < 1870 derek

: 11 . Now there dwelt <3427 yashab > an old <2205 zaqen >
prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ; and his
sons <1121 ben > came <0935 bow> > and told < 5608 caphar > him
all <3605 kol > the works <4639 ma<aseh > that the man <0376

<3117 yowm > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : the words <1697
dabar > which <0834 >aher > he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto the
king <4428 melek > , them they told <5608 caphar > also to
their father <1> .

: 12 And their father <1> said <1696 dabar > unto them , What
way <1870 derek > went <1980 halak > he ? For his sons <1121
ben > had seen <7200 ra>ah > what <0834 >aher > way <1870 derek

: 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his sons <1121 ben > ,
Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr > . So they
saddled <2280 chabash > him the ass <2543 chamowr > : and he
rode <7392 rakab > thereon <5921 <al > ,

: 14 And went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the man <0376

sitting <3427 yashab > under <8478 tachath > an oak <0424 >elah

from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ? And he said <0559 > amar > , I [
am ] .

: 15 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto him , Come < 3212 yalak >
home <1004 bayith > with me , and eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899
lechem > .

: 16 And he said <0559 >amar > , I may <3201 yakol > not
return <7725 shuwb > with thee , nor go <0935 bow> > in with
thee : neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899
lechem > nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim

: 17 For it was said <1697 dabar > to me by the word < 1697
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , Thou shalt eat <0398
>akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808 lo> >
drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > there < 8033 sham > ,
nor <3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to go
<3212 yalak > by the way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980
halak > .

: 18 He said <0559 >amar > unto him , I [ am ] a prophet
<5030 nabiy> > also <1571 gam > as thou [ art ] ; and an
angel <4397 mal>ak > spake <1696 dabar > unto me by the word
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , saying <0559 >amar

<0413 >el > thine house <1004 bayith > , that he may eat <0398
>akal > bread <3899 lechem > and drink <8354 shathah > water
<4325 mayim > . [ But ] he lied <3584 kachash > unto him .

: 19 So he went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > with him ,
and did eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > in his house
<1004 bayith > , and drank <8354 shathah > water < 4325 mayim > .

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > returned <7725 shuwb > not from his

But Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > could <3201 yakol > not see <7200

reason of his age <7869 seyb > .

: 5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahijah

Tirtsah > . And the people <5971 <am > [ were ] encamped
<2583 chanah > against <5921 <al > Gibbethon < 1405 Gibb@thown > ,
which <0834 >aher > [ belonged ] to the Philistines <6430

: 16 And the people <5971 <am > [ that were ] encamped <2583

Zimriy > hath conspired <7194 qashar > , and hath also <1571
gam > slain <5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > : wherefore all
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > made Omri < 6018 <Omriy > ,
the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > , king <4427
malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117

: 17 And Omri <6018 <Omriy > went <5927 <alah > up from
Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > , and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > with him , and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > Tirzah
<8656 Tirtsah > .

: 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Zimri < 2174
Zimriy > saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 < iyr > was taken
<3920 lakad > , that he went <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the

: 21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > divided <2505 chalaq > into two <2677 chetsiy >
parts <2677 chetsiy > : half <2677 chetsiy > of the people <5971

Omri <6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people
<5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Tibni <8402 Tibni > the
son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath > : so Tibni <8402 Tibni

: 23 In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and first <0259 >echad >
year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of

<8141 shaneh > : six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned
<4427 malak > he in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > .

: 24 And he bought <7069 qanah > the hill <2022 har > Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > for two talents <3603
kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > , and built <1129 banah > on

the name <8034 shem > of the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher

hill <2022 har > , Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

: 25 But Omri <6018 <Omriy > wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451
ra< > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
and did worse <7489 ra<a< > than all <3605 kol > that [ were ]
before <6440 paniym > him .

: 26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way
<1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >
of Nebat <5028 N@bat > , and in his sin <2403 chatta> ah >

with their vanities <1892 hebel > .

: 27 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Omri <6018 <Omriy > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > ,
and his might <1369 g@buwrah > that he shewed <6213 < asah > ,

: 28 So Omri <6018 <Omriy > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1> , and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his son < 1121 ben >

<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > above all < 3605 kol > that
[ were ] before <6440 paniym > him .

: 31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , as if it had been a
light <7043 qalal > thing for him to walk <3212 yalak > in the
sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son
<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > , that he took <3947 laqach

<1323 bath > of Ethbaal <0856 >Ethba<al > king <4428 melek > of

served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > , and worshipped <7812
shachah > him .

: 32 And he reared <6965 quwm > up an altar <4196 mizbeach >
for Baal <1168 Ba<al > in the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168
Ba<al > , which <0834 >aher > he had built < 1129 banah > in
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

: 33 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842

<3254 yacaph > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

than all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him .

: 34 In his days <3117 yowm > did Hiel <2419 Chiy>el > the
Bethelite <1017 Beyth ha - >Eliy > build <1129 banah > Jericho
<3405 Y@riychow > : he laid the foundation <3245 yacad > thereof
in Abiram <48> his firstborn <1060 b@kowr > , and set <5324

the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , which
<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Joshua < 3091 Y@howshuwa<

: 1Kings 17

: 1 . And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy > ,
[ who was ] of the inhabitants <8453 towshab > of Gilead
<1568 Gil<ad > , said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,
[ As ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > liveth <2416 chay > , before <6440

word <1697 dabar > .

: 2 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto him , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 3 Get <3212 yalak > thee hence <2088 zeh > , and turn <6437

thyself by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth > ,
that [ is ] before Jordan <3383 Yarden > .

: 4 And it shall be , [ that ] thou shalt drink <8354
shathah > of the brook <5158 nachal > ; and I have commanded
<6680 tsavah > the ravens <6158 <oreb > to feed <3557 kuwl >
thee there <8033 sham > .

: 5 So he went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according
unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he
went <3212 yalak > and dwelt <3427 yashab > by the brook <5158
nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth > , that [ is ] before Jordan
<3383 Yarden > .

: 6 And the ravens <6158 <oreb > brought <0935 bow> > him bread
<3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the morning <1242
boqer > , and bread <3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in
the evening <6153 <ereb > ; and he drank of the brook <5158
nachal > .

: 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a
while <3117 yowm > , that the brook <5158 nachal > dried <3001
yabesh > up , because <3588 kiy > there had <1961 hayah > been

: 8 . And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > unto him , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 9 Arise <6965 quwm > , get <3212 yalak > thee to Zarephath

: 10 So he arose <6965 quwm > and went <3212 yalak > to
Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > . And when he came <0935 bow> > to
the gate <6607 pethach > of the city <5892 <iyr > , behold
<2009 hinneh > , the widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802

in a vessel <3627 k@liy > , that I may drink <8354 shathah > .

: 11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach >
[ it ] , he called <7121 qara> > to her , and said <0559

a morsel <6595 path > of bread <3899 lechem > in thine hand
<3027 yad > .

: 12 And she said <0559 >amar > , [ As ] the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay > , I have
<3426 yesh > not a cake <4580 ma<owg > , but an handful of meal

that we may eat <0398 >akal > it , and die <4191 muwth > .

: 13 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,
Fear <3372 yare> > not ; go <0935 bow> > [ and ] do <6213
<asah > as thou hast said <0559 >amar > : but make <6213 <asah >

unto me , and after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 < asah > for
thee and for thy son <1121 ben > .

: 14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , The
barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > shall not waste <3615

: 15 And she went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according
to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > : and she ,
and he , and her house <1004 bayith > , did <6213 <asah >

: 16 [ And ] the barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach >
wasted <3615 kalah > not , neither <3808 lo> > did the cruse
<6835 tsappachath > of oil <8081 shemen > fail < 2638 chacer > ,
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Elijah <0452

: 17 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar >
these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > , [ that ] the
son <1121 ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah > , the mistress

sore <2389 chazaq > , that there was no <3808 lo> > breath
<5397 n@shamah > left <3498 yathar > in him .

: 18 And she said <0559 >amar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,
What <4100 mah > have I to do with thee , O thou man < 0376

<1121 ben > ?

: 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto her , Give < 5414 nathan >
me thy son <1121 ben > . And he took <3947 laqach > him out of
her bosom <2436 cheyq > , and carried <5927 <alah > him up into
<0413 >el > a loft <5944 <aliyah > , where he abode <3427

: 20 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
and said <0559 >amar > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430

widow <0490 >almanah > with whom <0834 >aher > I sojourn <1481

: 21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child
<3206 yeled > three<7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > , and
cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said
<0559 >amar > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God < 0430 >elohiym > ,
I pray <4994 na> > thee , let this <2088 zeh > child s <3206

: 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > heard <8085 shama< > the
voice <6963 qowl > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ; and the soul
<5315 nephesh > of the child <3206 yeled > came < 7725 shuwb >
into <5921 <al > him again <7725 shuwb > , and he revived <2421

: 24 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 > amar > to
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > , Now <6258 <attah > by this <2088 zeh >
I know <3045 yada< > that thou [ art ] a man <0376 >iysh > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh > [ is ] truth

: 1Kings 18

: 1 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass [ after ] many <7227

<0559 >amar > , Go <3212 yalak > , shew <7200 ra>ah > thyself
unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ; and I will send <5414 nathan > rain
<4306 matar > upon the earth <0127 >adamah > .

: 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > to shew <7200
ra>ah > himself unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > . And [ there was ]
a sore <2389 chazaq > famine <7458 ra<ab > in Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > .

: 3 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > called <7121 qara> > Obadiah <5662
<Obadyah > , which <0834 >aher > [ was ] the governor <5921
<al > of [ his ] house <1004 bayith > . ( Now Obadiah <5662
<Obadyah > feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > greatly
<3966 m@<od > :

: 4 For it was [ so ] , when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > cut
<3772 karath > off the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , that Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > took < 3947 laqach >
an hundred <3967 me>ah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > , and hid
<2244> them by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631
m@<arah > , and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread < 3899 lechem >
and water <4325 mayim > . )

: 5 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto Obadiah
<5662 <Obadyah > , Go <3212 yalak > into the land <0776 >erets

<4325 mayim > , and unto all brooks <5158 nachal > :
peradventure <0194 >uwlay > we may find <4672 matsa> > grass
<2682 chatsiyr > to save <2421 chayah > the horses <5483 cuwc >
and mules <6505 pered > alive <2421 chayah > , that we lose
<3772 karath > not all <3605 kol > the beasts < 0929 b@hemah > .

: 6 So they divided <2505 chalaq > the land <0776 > erets >
between them to pass <5674 <abar > throughout it : Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab > went <1980 halak > one <0259 > echad > way <1870 derek

another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself .

: 7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way < 1870 derek

qir>ah > him : and he knew <5234 nakar > him , and fell <5307

<0559 >amar > , [ Art ] thou that my lord <0113 >adown >
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ?

: 8 And he answered <0559 >amar > him , I [ am ] : go <3212

<2009 hinneh > , Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [ is here ] .

: 9 And he said <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah > have I sinned
<2398 chata> > , that thou wouldest deliver <5414 nathan > thy
servant <5650 <ebed > into the hand <3027 yad > of Ahab <0256

: 10 [ As ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >
liveth <2416 chay > , there is no <0518 >im > nation <1471 gowy

hath not sent <7971 shalach > to seek <1245 baqash > thee : and
when they said <0559 >amar > , [ He is ] not [ there ] ;
he took an oath <7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah >
and nation <1471 gowy > , that they found <4672 matsa> > thee
not .

: 11 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 > amar > , Go
<3212 yalak > , tell <0559 >amar > thy lord < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
Behold <2009 hinneh > , Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [ is here ] .

: 12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , [ as soon as ]
I am gone <3212 yalak > from thee , that the Spirit < 7307
ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry < 5375 nasa> >
thee whither I know <3045 yada< > not ; and [ so ] when I

<3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from my youth <5271

: 13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 > adown > what
I did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026
harag > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
how I hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of
the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty
<2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah > , and fed <3557

: 14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 > amar > , Go

Behold <2009 hinneh > , Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [ is here ] :
and he shall slay <2026 harag > me .

: 15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > , [ As ]
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416
chay > , before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975

unto him to day <3117 yowm > .

: 16 So Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <3212 yalak > to meet
<7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > , and told <5046 nagad >
him : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125
qir>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > .

: 17 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when Ahab < 0256
>Ach>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > Elijah <0452 > Eliyah > , that Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him , [ Art ] thou he
that troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

: 18 And he answered <0559 >amar > , I have not troubled <5916
<akar > Israel<3478 Yisra>el > ; but thou , and thy father s
<1> house <1004 bayith > , in that ye have forsaken <5800 <azab

and thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al > .

: 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore send <7971 shalach > , [
and ] gather <6908 qabats > to me all <3605 kol > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > , and
the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > four <0702

and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah >
four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > , which eat <0398

: 20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all
<3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el > ,
and gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >
together unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > .

: 21 . And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > , and said < 0559 >amar > ,
How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between
<5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph > ? if
<0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ be ] God <0430 >elohiym

then ] follow him . And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030
<anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > .

: 22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the
people <5971 <am > , I , [ even ] I only <0905 bad > ,
remain <3498 yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; but Baal s <1168 Ba<al > prophets < 5030 nabiy> > [
are ] four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572
chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > .

: 23 Let them therefore give <5414 nathan > us two < 8147
sh@nayim > bullocks <6499 par > ; and let them choose <0977
bachar > one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for themselves
<1992 hem > , and cut <5408 nathach > it in pieces , and lay
<7760 suwm > [ it ] on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets > , and
put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 > esh > [ under ] :
and I will dress <6213 <asah > the other <0259 > echad > bullock
<6499 par > , and lay <7760 suwm > [ it ] on < 5921 <al > wood
<6086 <ets > , and put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784

: 24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your
gods <0430 >elohiym > , and I will call <7121 qara> > on the
name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and the God
<0430 >elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh

people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >
, It is well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar > .

: 25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > , Choose <0977
bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for

<7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430

: 26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which
was given <5414 nathan > them , and they dressed <6213 <asah >
[ it ] , and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of
Baal <1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704
<ad > noon <6672 tsohar > , saying <0559 >amar > , O Baal
<1168 Ba<al > , hear <6030 <anah > us . But [ there was ] no
<0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > , nor <0369 >ayin > any that
answered <6030 <anah > . And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon
the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > was made <6213
<asah > .

: 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar > ,
that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them , and
said <0559 >amar > , Cry <7121 qara> > aloud : for he [ is ]
a god <0430 >elohiym > ; either <3588 kiy > he is talking <7879
siyach > , or he is pursuing <7873 siyg > , or he is in a
journey <1870 derek > , [ or ] peradventure <0194 > uwlay > he
sleepeth <3463 yashen > , and must be awaked <3364 yaqats > .

: 28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud , and cut < 1413 gadad

<2719 chereb > and lancets <7420 romach > , till < 5704 <ad >
the blood <1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them .

: 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when midday < 6672
tsohar > was past <5674 <abar > , and they prophesied <5012
naba> > until <5704 <ad > the [ time ] of the offering <5927

[ there was ] neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > , nor
<0369 >ayin > any to answer <6030 <anah > , nor <0369 >ayin >
any that regarded <7182 qesheb > .

: 30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > , Come < 5066 nagash > near
<5066 nagash > unto me . And all <3605 kol > the people <5971

repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > [ that was ] broken <2040 harac > down .

: 31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve
stones <68> , according to the number <4557 micpar > of the
tribes <7626 shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob > , unto whom <0834 >aher > the word < 1697 dabar > of

: 32 And with the stones <68> he built <1129 banah > an altar
<4196 mizbeach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > : and he made <6213 <asah > a trench < 8585 t@<alah >
about <5439 cabiyb > the altar <4196 mizbeach > , as great
<1004 bayith > as would contain <1004 bayith > two measures
<5429 c@>ah > of seed <2233 zera< > .

: 33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order
<6186 <arak > , and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par >
in pieces , and laid <7760 suwm > [ him ] on <5921 <al > the
wood <6086 <ets > , and said <0559 >amar > , Fill <4390 male>

: 34 And he said <0559 >amar > , Do [ it ] the second <8138
shanah > time . And they did [ it ] the second <8138 shanah >
time . And he said <0559 >amar > , Do [ it ] the third <8027

: 35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439
cabiyb > about the altar <4196 mizbeach > ; and he filled <4390

: 36 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at [ the time of ] the
offering <5927 <alah > of the [ evening ] sacrifice <4503
minchah > , that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the prophet <5030

: 37 Hear <6030 <anah > me , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , hear

cabab > their heart <3820 leb > back <0322 > achoranniyth > again
<0322 >achoranniyth > .

: 38 Then the fire <0784 >esh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
fell <5307 naphal > , and consumed <0398 >akal > the burnt
<5930 <olah > sacrifice , and the wood <6086 <ets > , and the
stones <68> , and the dust <6083 <aphar > , and licked <3897
lachak > up the water <4325 mayim > that [ was ] in the trench
<8565 tan > .

: 39 And when all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > saw <7200
ra>ah > [ it ] , they fell <5307 naphal > on < 5921 <al >
their faces <6440 paniym > : and they said <0559 > amar > , The
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , he [ is ] the God <0430 > elohiym > ;
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , he [ is ] the God <0430 >elohiym >
.

: 40 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,
Take <8610 taphas > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168
Ba<al > ; let not one <0376 >iysh > of them escape <4422 malat

brook <5158 nachal > Kishon <7028 Qiyshown > , and slew <7819

upon the earth <0776 >erets > , and put <7760 suwm > his face
<6440 paniym > between <0996 beyn > his knees < 1290 berek > ,

There is ] nothing . And he said <0559 >amar > , Go <7725
shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471

Go <5927 <alah > up , say <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .

: 46 And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was
on <0413 >el > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ; and he girded <8151
shanac > up his loins <4975 mothen > , and ran <7323 ruwts >

done <6213 <asah > , and withal how <0834 >aher > he had slain
<2026 harag > all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > with
the sword <2719 chereb > .

: 2 Then Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > sent <7971 shalach > a
messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > , saying
<0559 >amar > , So <3541 koh > let the gods < 0430 >elohiym > do

and came <0935 bow> > to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > , which
<0834 >aher > [ belongeth ] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and
left <3240 yanach > his servant <5288 na<ar > there <8033 sham >

: 4 But he himself <1931 huw> > went <1980 halak > a day s

Arise <6965 quwm > [ and ] eat <0398 >akal > ; because
<3588 kiy > the journey <1870 derek > [ is ] too great <7227

: 14 And he said <0559 >amar > , I have been very jealous
<7065 qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God < 0430 >elohiym >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> > : because <3588 kiy > the children <1121

and they seek <1245 baqash > my life <5315 nephesh > , to take

: 15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
Go <3212 yalak > , return <7725 shuwb > on thy way <1870 derek

Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > [ to be ] king <4428 melek > over

: 16 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi
<5250 Nimshiy > shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach > [ to be ]
king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel < 3478 Yisra>el > :
and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat

that escapeth <4422 malat > the sword <2719 chereb > of Hazael

found <4672 matsa> > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben

plowing <2790 charash > [ with ] twelve yoke <6776 tsemed > [

and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > passed <5674 <abar > by him , and
cast <7993 shalak > his mantle <0155 >addereth > upon him .

ran <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah < 0452 >Eliyah > ,
and said <0559 >amar > , Let me , I pray <4994 na> > thee ,
kiss <5401 nashaq > my father <1> and my mother < 0517 >em > ,
and [ then ] I will follow thee . And he said <0559 > amar >
unto him , Go <3212 yalak > back <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > : for what <4100 mah > have I done <6213 < asah > to thee

: 21 And he returned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from him ,
and took <3947 laqach > a yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241
baqar > , and slew <2076 zabach > them , and boiled <1310

Then he arose <6965 quwm > , and went <3212 yalak > after <0310

Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,

: 7 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of

<3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh > [ man ] seeketh < 1245 baqash >
mischief <7451 ra< > : for he sent <7971 shalach > unto me for
my wives <0802 >ishshah > , and for my children < 1121 ben > ,
and for my silver <3701 keceph > , and for my gold < 2091 zahab

Hearken <8085 shama< > not [ unto him ] , nor < 3808 lo> >

answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , Tell <1696

heard <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > message < 1697 dabar > ,
as he [ was ] drinking <8354 shathah > , he and the kings

and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me> ah > and

But Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > [ was ] drinking < 8354

fled <5127 nuwc > ; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291

: 23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king < 4428 melek >
of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him , Their gods
<0430 >elohiym > [ are ] gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills

Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away , every <0376

[ there ] a wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon
twenty <6242 <esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : peradventure <0194 > uwlay > he will
save <2421 chayah > thy life <5315 nephesh > .

: 32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on
their loins <4975 mothen > , and [ put ] ropes <2256 chebel >
on their heads <7218 ro>sh > , and came <0935 bow> > to the
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and said <0559

<2421 chayah > . And he said <0559 >amar > , [ Is ] he yet
<3588 kiy > alive <2416 chay > ? he [ is ] my brother <0251

: 33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently < 5172 nachash >
observe <5172 nachash > whether [ any thing would come ] from
him , and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat > [ it
] : and they said <0559 >amar > , Thy brother <0251 >ach >
Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > . Then he said <0559 > amar > , Go
<0935 bow> > ye , bring <3947 laqach > him . Then Benhadad
<1130 Ben - Hadad > came <3318 yatsa> > forth < 3318 yatsa> > to
him ; and he caused him to come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al

: 34 And [ Benhadad ] said <0559 >amar > unto him , The
cities <5892 <iyr > , which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took
<3947 laqach > from thy father <1> , I will restore <7725 shuwb

thee in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , as my father <1> made <7760
suwm > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > . Then [ said Ahab ] , I
will send <7971 shalach > thee away with this covenant < 1285
b@riyth > . So he made <3772 karath > a covenant < 1285 b@riyth

: 35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar >
unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the

smite <5221 nakah > him .

: 36 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto him , Because thou hast
not obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , behold <2009 hinneh > , as soon as thou art
departed <1980 halak > from me , a lion <0738 >ariy > shall
slay <5221 nakah > thee . And as soon as he was departed <3212
yalak > from him , a lion <0738 >ariy > found < 4672 matsa> >
him , and slew <5221 nakah > him .

: 37 Then he found <4672 matsa> > another <0312 > acher > man
<0376 >iysh > , and said <0559 >amar > , Smite <5221 nakah >
me , I pray <4994 na> > thee . And the man <0376 >iysh > smote
<5221 nakah > him , so that in smiting <5221 nakah > he wounded
<6481 patsa< > [ him ] .

: 38 So the prophet <5030 nabiy> > departed <3212 yalak > ,
and waited <5975 <amad > for the king <4428 melek > by the way
<1870 derek > , and disguised <2664 chaphas > himself with
ashes <0665 >epher > upon his face <5869 <ayin > .

: 39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 < abar > by ,
he cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek > : and he
said <0559 >amar > , Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318
yatsa> > out into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421
milchamah > ; and , behold <2009 hinneh > , a man < 0376 >iysh

any means he be missing <6485 paqad > , then shall thy life

silver <3701 keceph > .

: 40 And as thy servant <5650 <ebed > was busy <6213 <asah >
here <2008 hennah > and there <2008 hennah > , he was gone
<0369 >ayin > . And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him , So < 3651 ken > [
shall ] thy judgment <4941 mishpat > [ be ] ; thyself hast
decided <2782 charats > [ it ] .

: 41 And he hasted <4116 mahar > , and took the ashes < 0665
>epher > away <5493 cuwr > from his face <5869 < ayin > ; and
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned
<5234 nakar > him that he [ was ] of the prophets < 5030 nabiy>

: 42 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him , Thus < 3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , Because <3282
ya<an > thou hast let go <7971 shalach > out of [ thy ] hand
<3027 yad > a man <0376 >iysh > whom I appointed <2764 cherem >
to utter destruction <2764 cherem > , therefore thy life <5315
nephesh > shall go <1961 hayah > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,
and thy people <5971 <am > for his people <5971 < am > .

: 43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went
<3212 yalak > to his house <1004 bayith > heavy < 5620 car > and
displeased <2198 za<eph > , and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria

: 2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth
<5022 Nabowth > , saying <0559 >amar > , Give <5414 nathan >
me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > , that I may have <1961 hayah >
it for a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq > , because
<3588 kiy > it [ is ] near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004

give <5414 nathan > thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in

it me , that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance <5159

: 4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >
his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198

<0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158
Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him : for he had said
<0559 >amar > , I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the
inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1> . And he laid
<7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah

and would eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > .


: 5 . But Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah >
came <0935 bow> > to him , and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,
Why <4100 mah > is thy spirit <7307 ruwach > so sad <5620 car > ,
that thou eatest <0398 >akal > no <0369 >ayin > bread <3899

: 6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her , Because <3588 kiy > I
spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite
<3158 Yizr@<e>liy > , and said <0559 >amar > unto him , Give

thee , I will give <5414 nathan > thee [ another ] vineyard
<3754 kerem > for it : and he answered <0559 >amar > , I will
not give <5414 nathan > thee my vineyard <3754 kerem > .

: 7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 > ishshah > said

Enquire <1875 darash > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , at the word

: 6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together ,
about four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh

<4421 milchamah > , or shall I forbear <2308 chadal > ? And
they said <0559 >amar > , Go <5927 <alah > up ; for the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [ it ] into the
hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > .

[ Is there ] not here <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > besides <5750 <owd > , that we might
enquire <1875 darash > of him ?

: 8 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > said
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , [ There

Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > , Let not the king <4428

: 9 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
called <7121 qara> > an officer <5631 cariyc > , and said <0559

: 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah

prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > before <6440

: 11 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > made <6213 <asah > him horns <7161
qeren > of iron <1270 barzel > : and he said <0559 >amar > ,
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
With these <0428 >el - leh > shalt thou push <5055 nagach > the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > , until <5704 <ad > thou have consumed
<3615 kalah > them .

: 12 And all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied
<5012 naba> > so , saying <0559 >amar > , Go <5927 <alah > up
to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > , and prosper <6743 tsalach > :
for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [ it

: 13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone < 1980 halak

And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > , shall we go <3212 yalak > against

: 16 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
How <5704 <ad > many times <6471 pa<am > shall I adjure <7650
shaba< > thee that thou tell <1696 dabar > me nothing <3808 lo>

: 18 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , Did I not
tell <0559 >amar > thee that he would prophesy <5012 naba> > no
<3808 lo> > good <2896 towb > concerning <5921 <al > me , but
evil <7451 ra< > ?

: 19 And he said <0559 >amar > , Hear <8085 shama< > thou
therefore <3651 ken > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > : I saw <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sitting

all <3605 kol > the host of heaven <8064 shamayim > standing
<5975 <amad > by him on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand and on his

: 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > , Who
<4310 miy > shall persuade <6601 pathah > Ahab < 0256 >Ach>ab > ,
that he may go <5927 <alah > up and fall <5307 naphal > at
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ? And one said <0559 > amar > on
this <3541 koh > manner <3541 koh > , and another <2088 zeh >
said <0559 >amar > on that manner <3541 koh > .

: 21 And there <8033 sham > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > a spirit <7307 ruwach > , and stood < 5975 <amad >
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559

: 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,
Wherewith <4100 mah > ? And he said <0559 >amar > , I will go
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > , and I will be a lying
<8267 sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth < 6310 peh > of
all <3605 kol > his prophets <5030 nabiy> > . And he said <0559

prevail <3201 yakol > also <1571 gam > : go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > , and do <6213 <asah > so < 3651 ken > .

: 23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore , behold <2009 hinneh > ,
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath put <5414 nathan > a lying <8267
sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all
<3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,
and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > evil
<7451 ra< > concerning <5921 <al > thee .

: 24 But Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > went <5674 <abar > near <5066 nagash

Which way <2088 zeh > went <5674 <abar > the Spirit <7307 ruwach

unto thee ?

: 25 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,
Behold <2009 hinneh > , thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > in that
day <3117 yowm > , when <0834 >aher > thou shalt go <0935 bow>

<2247 chabah > thyself .

: 26 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said
<0559 >amar > , Take <3947 laqach > Micaiah < 4321 Miykay@huw > ,
and carry <7725 shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > unto Amon <0526

and to Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king s <4428 melek > son <1121
ben > ;

: 27 And say <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

zeh > [ fellow ] in the prison , and feed <0398 >akal > him
with bread <3899 lechem > of affliction <3905 lachats > and with
water <4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats > , until <5704
<ad > I come <0935 bow> > in peace <7965 shalowm > .

: 28 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > , If
<0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > at all in peace <7965
shalowm > , the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696
dabar > by me . And he said <0559 >amar > , Hearken <8085
shama< > , O people <5971 <am > , every <3605 kol > one of you
.

: 29 . So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead
<7433 Ramowth > .

: 30 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , I will
disguise <2664 chaphas > myself , and enter <0935 bow> > into
the battle <4421 milchamah > ; but put <3847 labash > thou on
thy robes <0899 beged > . And the king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > disguised <2664 chaphas > himself , and went
<0935 bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah > .

: 31 But the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >
commanded <6680 tsavah > his thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two
<8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > that had rule over his
chariots <7393 rekeb > , saying <0559 >amar > , Fight <3898
lacham > neither <3808 lo> > with small <6996 qatan > nor great
<1419 gadowl > , save only <0905 bad > with the king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 32 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when the captains
<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > saw < 7200 ra>ah >
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , that they said <0559 >amar >
, Surely <0389 >ak > it [ is ] the king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . And they turned <5493 cuwr > aside to
fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > him : and Jehoshaphat
<3092 Y@howshaphat > cried <2199 za<aq > out .

: 33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when the captains
<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah

Yisra>el > , that they turned <7725 shuwb > back < 7725 shuwb >
from pursuing <0310 >achar > him .

: 34 And a [ certain ] man <0376 >iysh > drew < 4900 mashak >
a bow <7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom > , and smote
<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el >
between <0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness
<8302 shiryown > : wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the
driver <7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab > , Turn
<2015 haphak > thine hand <3027 yad > , and carry <3318 yatsa>

chalah > .

: 35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 <alah >
that day <3117 yowm > : and the king <4428 melek > was stayed
<5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227
nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > , and died < 4191 muwth > at
even <6153 <ereb > : and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq

<2436 cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb > .

: 36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation < 7440 rinnah >
throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going < 0935 bow>

Every man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr > , and every
man <0376 >iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets > .

: 37 So the king <4428 melek > died <4191 muwth > , and was
brought <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ; and they
buried <6912 qabar > the king <4428 melek > in Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > .

: 38 And [ one ] washed <7857 shataph > the chariot < 7393
rekeb > in the pool <1295 b@rekah > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >
; and the dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > up his blood
<1818 dam > ; and they washed <7364 rachats > his armour <2185
zonowth > ; according unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake < 1696 dabar > .

: 39 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > , and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213
<asah > , and the ivory <8127 shen > house <1004 bayith > which
<0834 >aher > he made <1129 banah > , and all < 3605 kol > the
cities <5892 <iyr > that he built <1129 banah > , [ are ]
they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of
the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

: 40 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1> ; and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

: 41 . And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son < 1121 ben

<al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year
<8141 shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king < 4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 42 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > [ was ] thirty < 7970
sh@lowshiym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old
<1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak > ; and he
reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568
chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
. And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [ was ]
Azubah <5806 <Azuwbah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Shilhi
<7977 Shilchiy > .

: 43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways
<1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1> ; he turned
<5493 cuwr > not aside from it , doing <6213 <asah > [ that
which was ] right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 < ayin > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high
<1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > yet < 3588 kiy > in the
high <1116 bamah > places .

: 44 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made peace < 7999
shalam > with the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .


: 45 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , and his might <1369 g@buwrah

warred <3898 lacham > , [ are ] they not written < 3789 kathab

the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ?

: 46 And the remnant <3499 yether > of the sodomites < 6945
qadesh > , which remained <7604 sha>ar > in the days <3117 yowm

out of the land <0776 >erets > .

: 47 [ There was ] then no <0369 >ayin > king < 4428 melek >
in Edom <0123 >Edom > : a deputy <5324 natsab > [ was ] king
<4428 melek > .

: 48 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made <6235 < eser > ships
<0591 >oniyah > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > to go <3212 yalak

went <1980 halak > not ; for the ships <0591 >oniyah > were
broken <7665 shabar > at Eziongeber <6100 <Etsyown <Etsyon Geber

: 49 Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Ahaziah <0274
>Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 > Ach>ab > unto
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > , Let my servants < 5650 <ebed

<0591 >oniyah > . But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > would
<14> not .

: 50 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > slept <7901 shakab >
with his fathers <1> , and was buried <6912 qabar > with his
fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David < 1732 David > his
father <1> : and Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > his son < 1121 ben >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

: 51 Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the
seventeenth <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat

<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 52 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight
<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and walked <3212
yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of his father <1> , and in the

<1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >
of Nebat <5028 N@bat > , who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > :

: 53 For he served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > , and
worshipped <7812 shachah > him , and provoked to anger < 3707
ka<ac > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 > elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > , according to all <3605 kol > that his father
