2Kings 1





1. Then Moab <4124> rebelled <6586> against Israel <3478> after
<0310> the death <4194> of Ahab <0256>.



2 And Ahaziah <0274> fell <5307> down through < 1157> a lattice
<7639> in his upper <5944> chamber <5944> that [was] in Samaria
<8111>, and was sick <2470>: and he sent <7971> messengers
<4397>, and said <0559> unto them, Go <3212>, enquire <1875> of
Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138> whether <0518> I
shall recover <2421> of this <2088> disease < 2483>.



3 But the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said < 1696> to Elijah
<0452> the Tishbite <8664>, Arise <6965>, go <5927> up to meet
<7125> the messengers <4397> of the king <4428> of Samaria
<8111>, and say <1696> unto them, [Is it] not because [there is]
not a God <0430> in Israel <3478>, [that] ye go < 1980> to
enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god < 0430> of Ekron
<6138>?



4 Now therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
Thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed <4296> on
which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely <3588>
die <4191>. And Elijah <0452> departed <3212>.



5 And when the messengers <4397> turned <7725> back <7725> unto
him, he said <0559> unto them, Why <4100> are ye now <2088>
turned <7725> back <7725>?



6 And they said <0559> unto him, There came <5927> a man <0376>
up to meet <7125> us, and said <0559> unto us, Go < 3212>, turn
<7725> again <7725> unto the king <4428> that sent <7971> you,
and say <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God < 0430> in
Israel <3478>, [that] thou sendest <7971> to enquire <1875> of
Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of Ekron <6138> ? therefore
<3651> thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> from that bed
<4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely
<3588> die <4191>.



7 And he said <1696> unto them, What <4100> manner <4941> of
man <0376> [was he] which <0834> came <5927> up to meet <7125>
you, and told <1696> you these <0428> words < 1697>?



8 And they answered <0559> him, [He was] an hairy man < 0376>,
and girt <0247> with a girdle <0232> of leather < 5785> about his
loins <4975>. And he said <0559>, It [is] Elijah < 0452> the
Tishbite <8664>.



9. Then the king <4428> sent <7971> unto him a captain <8269>
of fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And he went <5927> up to
him: and, behold <2009>, he sat <3427> on <5921> the top <7218>
of an hill <2022>. And he spake <1696> unto him, Thou man <0376>
of God <0430>, the king <4428> hath said <1696>, Come <3381>
down <3381>.



10 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said < 1696> to the
captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of
God <0430>, then let fire <0784> come <3381> down <3381> from
heaven <8064>, and consume <0398> thee and thy fifty <2572>. And
there came <3381> down <3381> fire <0784> from heaven <8064>,
and consumed <0398> him and his fifty <2572>.



11 Again <7725> also he sent <7971> unto him another <0312>
captain <8269> of fifty <2572> with his fifty < 2572>. And he
answered <6030> and said <1696> unto him, O man < 0376> of God
<0430>, thus <3541> hath the king <4428> said <0559>, Come
<3381> down <3381> quickly <4120>.



12 And Elijah <0452> answered <6030> and said < 1696> unto them,
If <0518> I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, let fire <0784>
come <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consume <0398>
thee and thy fifty <2572>. And the fire <0784> of God <0430>
came <3381> down <3381> from heaven <8064>, and consumed <0398>
him and his fifty <2572>.



13 And he sent <7971> again <7725> a captain < 8269> of the
third <7992> fifty <2572> with his fifty <2572>. And the third
<7992> captain <8269> of fifty <2572> went < 5927> up, and came
<0935> and fell <3766> on <5921> his knees < 1290> before <5048>
Elijah <0452>, and besought <2603> him, and said < 1696> unto him,
O man <0376> of God <0430>, I pray <4994> thee, let my life
<5315>, and the life of these <0428> fifty < 2572> thy servants
<5650>, be precious <3365> in thy sight <5869>.



14 Behold <2009>, there came <3381> fire <0784> down <3381>
from heaven <8064>, and burnt <0398> up the two < 8147> captains
<8269> of the former <7223> fifties <2572> with their fifties
<2572>: therefore let my life <5315> now <6258> be precious
<3365> in thy sight <5869>.



15 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> said < 1696> unto
Elijah <0452>, Go <3381> down <3381> with him: be not afraid
<3372> of him. And he arose <6965>, and went < 3381> down <3381>
with him unto the king <4428>.



16 And he said <1696> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, Forasmuch as thou hast sent <7971> messengers
<4397> to enquire <1875> of Baalzebub <1176> the god <0430> of
Ekron <6138>, [is it] not because [there is] no <0369> God
<0430> in Israel <3478> to enquire <1875> of his word <1697>?
therefore thou shalt not come <3381> down <3381> off that bed
<4296> on which <0834> thou art gone <5927> up, but shalt surely
<3588> die <4191>.



17 So he died <4191> according to the word <1697> of the LORD
<3068> which <0834> Elijah <0452> had spoken <1696>. And Jehoram
<3088> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478> in the second <8147>
year <8141> of Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat
<3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; because < 3588> he had <1961>
no <3808> son <1121>.



18 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaziah <0274>
which <0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in the
book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings < 4428> of
Israel <3478>?



2Kings 2



1. And it came <1961> to pass, when the LORD <3068> would take
<5927> up Elijah <0452> into heaven <8064> by a whirlwind <5591>,
that Elijah <0452> went <3212> with Elisha < 0477> from Gilgal
<1537>.



2 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha < 0477>, Tarry
<3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath
sent <7971> me to Bethel <1008>. And Elisha < 0477> said <0559>
[unto him, As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul
<5315> liveth <2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they went
<3381> down <3381> to Bethel <1008>.



3 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at
Bethel <1008> came <3318> forth <3318> to Elisha <0477>, and
said <0559> unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068>
will take <3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head <7218> to
day <3117>? And he said <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it];
hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>.



4 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Elisha < 0477>, tarry
<3427> here <6311>, I pray <4994> thee; for the LORD <3068> hath
sent <7971> me to Jericho <3405>. And he said < 0559>, [As] the
LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul < 5315> liveth
<2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. So they came <0935> to
Jericho <3405>.



5 And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> that [were] at
Jericho <3405> came <5066> to Elisha <0477>, and said <0559>
unto him, Knowest <3045> thou that the LORD <3068> will take
<3947> away thy master <0113> from thy head < 7218> to day
<3117>? And he answered <0559>, Yea <1571>, I know <3045> [it];
hold <2814> ye your peace <2814>.



6 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto him, Tarry < 3427>, I pray
<4994> thee, here <6311>; for the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971>
me to Jordan <3383>. And he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068>
liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul <5315> liveth < 2416>, I will
not leave <5800> thee. And they two <8147> went < 3212> on.



7 And fifty <2572> men <0376> of the sons < 1121> of the
prophets <5030> went <1980>, and stood <5975> to view <5048>
afar <7350> off: and they two <8147> stood < 5975> by Jordan
<3383>.



8 And Elijah <0452> took <3947> his mantle < 0155>, and wrapped
<1563> [it] together, and smote <5221> the waters < 4325>, and
they were divided <2673> hither and thither <2008>, so that they
two <8147> went <5674> over <5674> on dry < 2724> ground.



9. And it came <1961> to pass, when they were gone < 5674> over
<5674>, that Elijah <0452> said <0559> unto Elisha <0477>, Ask
<7592> what <4100> I shall do <6213> for thee, before <2962> I
be taken <3947> away from thee. And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, I
pray <4994> thee, let a double <8147> portion < 6310> of thy
spirit <7307> be upon me.



10 And he said <0559>, Thou hast asked <7592> a hard <7185>
thing: [nevertheless], if <0518> thou see <7200> me [when I am]
taken <3947> from thee, it shall be so <3651> unto thee; but if
<0518> not, it shall not be [so].



11 And it came <1961> to pass, as they still went < 1980> on,
and talked <1696>, that, behold <2009>, [there appeared] a
chariot <7393> of fire <0784>, and horses <5483> of fire <0784>,
and parted <6504> them both <8147> asunder < 0996>; and Elijah
<0452> went <5927> up by a whirlwind <5591> into heaven <8064>.



12 And Elisha <0477> saw <7200> [it], and he cried <6817>, My
father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>,
and the horsemen <6571> thereof. And he saw <7200> him no <3808>
more <5750>: and he took hold <2388> of his own < 0249> clothes
<0899>, and rent <7167> them in two <8147> pieces <7168>.



13. He took <7311> up also the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452>
that fell <5307> from him, and went <7725> back < 7725>, and
stood <5975> by the bank <8193> of Jordan <3383> ;



14 And he took <3947> the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that
fell <5307> from him, and smote <5221> the waters < 4325>, and
said <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of
Elijah <0452>? and when he also had smitten <5221> the waters
<4325>, they parted <2673> hither and thither < 2008>: and Elisha
<0477> went <5674> over <5674>.



15 And when the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> which <0834>
[were] to view <5048> at Jericho <3405> saw < 7200> him, they
said <0559>, The spirit <7307> of Elijah <0452> doth rest <5117>
on <5921> Elisha <0477>. And they came <0935> to meet <7125> him,
and bowed <7812> themselves to the ground <0776> before him.



16 And they said <0559> unto him, Behold <2009> now <4994>,
there be with thy servants <5650> fifty <2572> strong <2428> men;
let them go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, and seek <1245> thy
master <0113>: lest <6435> peradventure the Spirit <7307> of the
LORD <3068> hath taken <5375> him up, and cast < 7993> him upon
some <0259> mountain <2022>, or <0176> into some <0259> valley
<1516>. And he said <0559>, Ye shall not send < 7971>.



17 And when they urged <6484> him till <5704> he was ashamed
<0954>, he said <0559>, Send <7971>. They sent <7971> therefore
fifty <2572> men <0376>; and they sought <1245> three <7969>
days <3117>, but found <4672> him not.



18 And when they came <7725> again <7725> to him, (for he
tarried <3427> at Jericho <3405>,) he said < 0559> unto them, Did
I not say <0559> unto you, Go <3212> not?



19. And the men <0582> of the city <5892> said < 0559> unto
Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009>, I pray <4994> thee, the situation
<4186> of this <2088> city <5892> [is] pleasant <2896>, as my
lord <0113> seeth <7200>: but the water <4325> [is] naught
<7451>, and the ground <0776> barren <7921>.



20 And he said <0559>, Bring <3947> me a new < 2319> cruse
<6746>, and put <7760> salt <4417> therein < 8033>. And they
brought <0935> [it] to him.



21 And he went <3318> forth <3318> unto the spring <4161> of
the waters <4325>, and cast <7993> the salt < 4417> in there, and
said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have
healed <7495> these <0428> waters <4325>; there shall not be
from thence <8033> any more <5750> death <4194> or barren <7921>
[land].



22 So the waters <4325> were healed <7495> unto this <2088> day
<3117>, according to the saying <1697> of Elisha < 0477> which
<0834> he spake <1696>.



23 And he went <5927> up from thence <8033> unto Bethel <1008>:
and as he was going <5927> up by the way <1870>, there came
<3318> forth <3318> little <6996> children < 5288> out of the
city <5892>, and mocked <7046> him, and said < 0559> unto him, Go
<5927> up, thou bald <7142> head; go <5927> up, thou bald <7142>
head.



24 And he turned <6437> back <0310>, and looked < 7200> on them,
and cursed <7043> them in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.
And there came <3318> forth <3318> two <8147> she bears <1677>
out of the wood <3293>, and tare <1234> forty < 0705> and two
<8147> children <3206> of them.



25 And he went <3212> from thence <8033> to mount <2022> Carmel
<3760>, and from thence <8033> he returned < 7725> to Samaria
<8111>.



2Kings 3



1. Now Jehoram <3088> the son <1121> of Ahab < 0256> began to
reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> the
eighteenth year <8141> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king < 4428> of
Judah <3063>, and reigned <4427> twelve years < 8141>.



2 And he wrought <6213> evil <7451> in the sight < 5869> of the
LORD <3068>; but not like his father <1>, and like his mother
<0517>: for he put <5493> away <5493> the image <4676> of Baal
<1168> that his father <1> had made <6213>.



3 Nevertheless <7535> he cleaved <1692> unto the sins <2403> of
Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which <0834>
made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed < 5493> not
therefrom.



4 And Mesha <4337> king <4428> of Moab <4124> was a sheepmaster
<5349>, and rendered <7725> unto the king <4428> of Israel
<3478> an hundred <3967> thousand <0505> lambs <3733>, and an
hundred <3967> thousand <0505> rams <0352>, with the wool <6785>.



5 But it came <1961> to pass, when Ahab <0256> was dead <4194>,
that the king <4428> of Moab <4124> rebelled < 6586> against the
king <4428> of Israel <3478>.



6. And king <4428> Jehoram <3088> went <3318> out of Samaria
<8111> the same <1931> time <3117>, and numbered <6485> all
<3605> Israel <3478>.



7 And he went <3212> and sent <7971> to Jehoshaphat <3092> the
king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of
Moab <4124> hath rebelled <6586> against me: wilt thou go <3212>
with me against <0413> Moab <4124> to battle < 4421>? And he said
<0559>, I will go <5927> up: I [am] as thou [art], my people
<5971> as thy people <5971>, [and] my horses < 5483> as thy
horses <5483>.



8 And he said <0559>, Which way <1870> shall we go <5927> up?
And he answered <0559>, The way <1870> through the wilderness
<4057> of Edom <0123>.



9 So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> went < 3212>, and the king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, and the king <4428> of Edom <0123>: and
they fetched a compass <5437> of seven <7651> days <3117>'
journey <1870>: and there was no <3808> water < 4325> for the
host <4264>, and for the cattle <0929> that followed <7272> them.



10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said < 0559>, Alas
<0160>! that the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> these <0428>
three <7969> kings <4428> together, to deliver < 5414> them into
the hand <3027> of Moab <4124>!



11 But Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, [Is there] not here
<6311> a prophet <5030> of the LORD <3068>, that we may enquire
<1875> of the LORD <3068> by him? And one <0259> of the king
<4428> of Israel's <3478> servants <5650> answered <6030> and
said <0559>, Here <6311> [is] Elisha <0477> the son <1121> of
Shaphat <8202>, which <0834> poured <3332> water <4325> on
<5921> the hands <3027> of Elijah <0452>.



12 And Jehoshaphat <3092> said <0559>, The word < 1697> of the
LORD <3068> is with him. So the king <4428> of Israel <3478> and
Jehoshaphat <3092> and the king <4428> of Edom < 0123> went
<3381> down <3381> to him.



13 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto the king < 4428> of Israel
<3478>, What <4100> have I to do with thee? get < 3212> thee to
the prophets <5030> of thy father <1>, and to the prophets
<5030> of thy mother <0517>. And the king <4428> of Israel
<3478> said <0559> unto him, Nay <0408>: for the LORD <3068>
hath called <7121> these <0428> three <7969> kings <4428>
together, to deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Moab
<4124>.



14 And Elisha <0477> said <0559>, [As] the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635> liveth <2416>, before <6440> whom < 0834> I stand <5975>,
surely <3588>, were it not that I regard <5375> the presence
<6440> of Jehoshaphat <3092> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, I
would not look <5027> toward <0413> thee, nor < 0518> see <7200>
thee.



15 But now <6258> bring <3947> me a minstrel < 5059>. And it
came <1961> to pass, when the minstrel <5059> played <5059>,
that the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> upon him.



16 And he said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
Make <6213> this <2088> valley <5158> full of ditches <1356>.



17 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> , Ye shall not
see <7200> wind <7307>, neither <3808> shall ye see <7200> rain
<1653>; yet that valley <5158> shall be filled < 4390> with water
<4325>, that ye may drink <8354>, both ye, and your cattle
<4735>, and your beasts <0929>.



18 And this <2063> is [but] a light <7043> thing in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he will deliver < 5414> the Moabites
<4124> also into your hand <3027>.



19 And ye shall smite <5221> every <3605> fenced < 4013> city
<5892>, and every <3605> choice <4005> city < 5892>, and shall
fell <5307> every <3605> good <2896> tree < 6086>, and stop
<5640> all <3605> wells <4599> of water < 4325>, and mar <3510>
every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land with stones <68>.



20. And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, when the
meat offering <4503> was offered <5927>, that, behold <2009>,
there came <0935> water <4325> by the way <1870> of Edom <0123>,
and the country <0776> was filled <4390> with water <4325>.



21 And when all <3605> the Moabites <4124> heard < 8085> that
the kings <4428> were come <5927> up to fight < 3898> against
them, they gathered <6817> all <3605> that were able <2296> to
put <2296> on armour <2290>, and upward <4605>, and stood <5975>
in the border <1366>.



22 And they rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning <1242>,
and the sun <8121> shone <2224> upon the water < 4325>, and the
Moabites <4124> saw <7200> the water <4325> on the other <5048>
side <5048> [as] red <0122> as blood <1818>:



23 And they said <0559>, This <2088> [is] blood < 1818>: the
kings <4428> are surely slain <2717>, and they have smitten
<5221> one <0376> another <7453>: now < 6258> therefore, Moab
<4124>, to the spoil <7998>.



24 And when they came <0935> to the camp <4264> of Israel
<3478>, the Israelites <3478> rose <6965> up and smote <5221>
the Moabites <4124>, so that they fled <5127> before <6440> them:
but they went <5221> forward smiting <5221> the Moabites <4124>,
even in [their] country.



25 And they beat <2040> down <2040> the cities < 5892>, and on
every <3605> good <2896> piece <2513> of land cast <7993> every
man <0376> his stone <68>, and filled <4390> it; and they
stopped <5640> all <3605> the wells <4599> of water <4325>, and
felled <5307> all <3605> the good <2896> trees <6086>: only in
Kirharaseth <7025> left <7604> they the stones < 68> thereof;
howbeit the slingers <7051> went <5437> about < 5437> [it], and
smote <5221> it.



26 And when the king <4428> of Moab <4124> saw < 7200> that the
battle <4421> was too sore <2388> for him, he took <3947> with
him seven <7651> hundred <3967> men <0376> that drew <8025>
swords <2719>, to break <1234> through <1234> [even] unto the
king <4428> of Edom <0123>: but they could < 3201> not.



27 Then he took <3947> his eldest <1060> son < 1121> that should
have reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, and offered <5927> him
[for] a burnt <5930> offering upon the wall <2346>. And there
was great <1419> indignation <7110> against < 5921> Israel <3478>:
and they departed <5265> from him, and returned < 7725> to
[their own] land <0776>.



2Kings 4



1. Now there cried <6817> a certain <0259> woman < 0802> of the
wives <0802> of the sons <1121> of the prophets < 5030> unto
Elisha <0477>, saying <0559>, Thy servant <5650> my husband
<0376> is dead <4191>; and thou knowest <3045> that thy servant
<5650> did fear <3373> the LORD <3068>: and the creditor <5383>
is come <0935> to take <3947> unto him my two < 8147> sons <3206>
to be bondmen <5650>.



2 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto her, What < 4100> shall I
do <6213> for thee? tell <5046> me, what <4100> hast <3426> thou
in the house <1004>? And she said <0559>, Thine handmaid <8198>
hath not any <3605> thing in the house <1004>, save <3467> a pot
<0610> of oil <8081>.



3 Then he said <0559>, Go <3212>, borrow <7592> thee vessels
<3627> abroad <2351> of all <3605> thy neighbours <7934>, [even]
empty <7385> vessels <3627>; borrow not a few < 4591>.



4 And when thou art come <0935> in, thou shalt shut < 5462> the
door <1817> upon thee and upon thy sons <1121>, and shalt pour
<3332> out into <5921> all <3605> those < 0428> vessels <3627>,
and thou shalt set <5265> aside <5265> that which is full <4392>.



5 So she went <3212> from him, and shut <5462> the door <1817>
upon her and upon her sons <1121>, who <1992> brought <5066>
[the vessels] to her; and she poured <3332> out.



6 And it came <1961> to pass, when the vessels <3627> were full
<4390>, that she said <0559> unto her son <1121> , Bring <5066>
me yet a vessel <3627>. And he said <0559> unto her, [There is]
not a vessel <3627> more <5750>. And the oil < 8081> stayed
<5975>.



7 Then she came <0935> and told <5046> the man < 0376> of God
<0430>. And he said <0559>, Go <3212>, sell < 4376> the oil
<8081>, and pay <7999> thy debt <5386>, and live <2421> thou and
thy children <1121> of the rest <3498>.



8. And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that Elisha <0477>
passed <5674> to Shunem <7766>, where <8033> [was] a great
<1419> woman <0802>; and she constrained <2388> him to eat
<0398> bread <3899>. And [so] it was, [that] as oft <1767> as he
passed <5674> by, he turned <5493> in thither < 8033> to eat
<0398> bread <3899>.



9 And she said <0559> unto her husband <0376>, Behold <2009>
now <4994>, I perceive <3045> that this <1931> [is] an holy
<6918> man <0376> of God <0430>, which passeth <5674> by us
continually <8548>.



10 Let us make <6213> a little <6996> chamber < 5944>, I pray
<4994> thee, on the wall <7023>; and let us set < 7760> for him
there <8033> a bed <4296>, and a table <7979>, and a stool
<3678>, and a candlestick <4501>: and it shall be, when he
cometh <0935> to us, that he shall turn <5493> in thither <8033>.



11 And it fell <1961> on a day <3117>, that he came <0935>
thither <8033>, and he turned <5493> into <0413> the chamber
<5944>, and lay <7901> there <8033>.



12 And he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant <5288>, Call
<7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. And when he had called
<7121> her, she stood <5975> before <6440> him.



13 And he said <0559> unto him, Say <0559> now < 4994> unto her,
Behold <2009>, thou hast been careful <2729> for us with all
<3605> this <2063> care <2731>; what < 4100> [is] to be done
<6213> for thee? wouldest <3426> thou be spoken < 1696> for to
the king <4428>, or <0176> to the captain <8269> of the host
<6635>? And she answered <0559>, I dwell <3427> among <8432>
mine own people <5971>.



14 And he said <0559>, What <4100> then [is] to be done <6213>
for her? And Gehazi <1522> answered <0559>, Verily <61> she hath
no <0369> child <1121>, and her husband <0376> is old <2204>.



15 And he said <0559>, Call <7121> her. And when he had called
<7121> her, she stood <5975> in the door <6607>.



16 And he said <0559>, About this <2088> season < 4150>,
according to the time <6256> of life <2416>, thou shalt embrace
<2263> a son <1121>. And she said <0559>, Nay <0408>, my lord
<0113>, [thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, do not lie <3576> unto
thine handmaid <8198>.



17 And the woman <0802> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son
<1121> at that season <4150> that Elisha <0477> had said <1696>
unto her, according to the time <6256> of life <2416>.



18. And when the child <3206> was grown <1431>, it fell <1961>
on a day <3117>, that he went <3318> out to his father <1> to
the reapers <7114>.



19 And he said <0559> unto his father <1>, My head <7218>, my
head <7218>. And he said <0559> to a lad <5288>, Carry <5375>
him to his mother <0517>.



20 And when he had taken <5375> him, and brought < 0935> him to
his mother <0517>, he sat <3427> on <5921> her knees <1290> till
<5704> noon <6672>, and [then] died <4191>.



21 And she went <5927> up, and laid <7901> him on <5921> the
bed <4296> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, and shut <5462> [the
door] upon him, and went <3318> out.



22 And she called <7121> unto her husband <0376>, and said
<0559>, Send <7971> me, I pray <4994> thee, one <0259> of the
young <5288> men, and one <0259> of the asses < 0860>, that I may
run <7323> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, and come <7725>
again <7725>.



23 And he said <0559>, Wherefore <4069> wilt thou go <1980> to
him to day <3117>? [it is] neither <3808> new < 2320> moon <2320>,
nor <3808> sabbath <7676>. And she said <0559>, [It shall be]
well <7965>.



24 Then she saddled <2280> an ass <0860>, and said <0559> to
her servant <5288>, Drive <5090>, and go <3212> forward; slack
<6113> not [thy] riding <7392> for me, except I bid <0559> thee.



25 So she went <3212> and came <0935> unto the man <0376> of
God <0430> to mount <2022> Carmel <3760>. And it came <1961> to
pass, when the man <0376> of God <0430> saw < 7200> her afar
<7350> off, that he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522> his servant
<5288>, Behold <2009>, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767>:



26 Run <7323> now <6258>, I pray <4994> thee, to meet <7125>
her, and say <0559> unto her, [Is it] well <7965> with thee? [is
it] well <7965> with thy husband <0376>? [is it] well <7965>
with the child <3206>? And she answered <0559>, [It is] well
<7965>.



27 And when she came <0935> to the man <0376> of God <0430> to
the hill <2022>, she caught <2388> him by the feet <7272>: but
Gehazi <1522> came <5066> near <5066> to thrust <1920> her away.
And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Let her alone
<7503>; for her soul <5315> [is] vexed <4843> within her: and
the LORD <3068> hath hid <5956> [it] from me, and hath not told
<5046> me.



28 Then she said <0559>, Did I desire <7592> a son <1121> of my
lord <0113>? did I not say <0559>, Do not deceive < 7952> me?



29 Then he said <0559> to Gehazi <1522>, Gird < 2296> up thy
loins <4975>, and take <3947> my staff <4938> in thine hand
<3027>, and go <3212> thy way <1870>: if < 3588> thou meet <4672>
any man <0376>, salute <1288> him not; and if < 3588> any <0376>
salute <1288> thee, answer <6030> him not again: and lay <7760>
my staff <4938> upon the face <6440> of the child < 5288>.



30 And the mother <0517> of the child <5288> said <0559>, [As]
the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, and [as] thy soul < 5315> liveth
<2416>, I will not leave <5800> thee. And he arose <6965>, and
followed her.



31 And Gehazi <1522> passed <5674> on before < 6440> them, and
laid <7760> the staff <4938> upon the face < 6440> of the child
<5288>; but [there was] neither <0369> voice < 6963>, nor <0369>
hearing <7182>. Wherefore he went <7725> again < 7725> to meet
<7125> him, and told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The child <5288>
is not awaked <6974>.



32 And when Elisha <0477> was come <0935> into the house <1004>,
behold <2009>, the child <5288> was dead <4191> , [and] laid
<7901> upon his bed <4296>.



33 He went <0935> in therefore, and shut <5462> the door <1817>
upon them twain <8147>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>.



34 And he went <5927> up, and lay <7901> upon the child <3206>,
and put <7760> his mouth <6310> upon his mouth < 6310>, and his
eyes <5869> upon his eyes <5869>, and his hands < 3709> upon his
hands <3709>: and he stretched <1457> himself upon the child
<3206>; and the flesh <1320> of the child <3206> waxed warm
<2552>.



35 Then he returned <7725>, and walked <3212> in the house
<1004> to and fro; and went <5927> up, and stretched <1457>
himself upon him: and the child <5288> sneezed <2237> seven
<7651> times <6471>, and the child <5288> opened <6491> his eyes
<5869>.



36 And he called <7121> Gehazi <1522>, and said < 0559>, Call
<7121> this <2063> Shunammite <7767>. So he called <7121> her.
And when she was come <0935> in unto him, he said < 0559>, Take
<5375> up thy son <1121>.



37 Then she went <0935> in, and fell <5307> at < 5921> his feet
<7272>, and bowed <7812> herself to the ground < 0776>, and took
<5375> up her son <1121>, and went <3318> out.



38. And Elisha <0477> came <7725> again <7725> to Gilgal <1537>:
and [there was] a dearth <7458> in the land <0776>; and the
sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> [were] sitting < 3427> before
<6440> him: and he said <0559> unto his servant < 5288>, Set
<8239> on the great <1419> pot <5518>, and seethe <1310> pottage
<5138> for the sons <1121> of the prophets < 5030>.



39 And one <0259> went <3318> out into <0413> the field <7704>
to gather <3950> herbs <0219>, and found <4672> a wild <7704>
vine <1612>, and gathered <3950> thereof wild < 7704> gourds
<6498> his lap <0899> full <4393>, and came < 0935> and shred
<6398> [them] into <0413> the pot <5518> of pottage <5138>: for
they knew <3045> [them] not.



40 So they poured <3332> out for the men <0582> to eat <0398>.
And it came <1961> to pass, as they were eating <0398> of the
pottage <5138>, that they cried <6817> out, and said <0559>, O
[thou] man <0376> of God <0430>, [there is] death < 4194> in the
pot <5518>. And they could <3201> not eat <0398> [thereof].



41 But he said <0559>, Then bring <3947> meal < 7058>. And he
cast <7993> [it] into <0413> the pot <5518>; and he said <0559>,
Pour <3332> out for the people <5971>, that they may eat <0398>.
And there was no <3808> harm in the pot <5518>.



42 And there came <0935> a man <0376> from Baalshalisha <1190>,
and brought <0935> the man <0376> of God <0430> bread <3899> of
the firstfruits <1061>, twenty <6242> loaves < 3899> of barley
<8184>, and full ears <3759> of corn <3759> in the husk <6861>
thereof. And he said <0559>, Give <5414> unto the people <5971>,
that they may eat <0398>.



43 And his servitor <8334> said <0559>, What < 4100>, should I
set <5414> this <2088> before <6440> an hundred <3967> men
<0376>? He said <0559> again, Give <5414> the people <5971>,
that they may eat <0398>: for thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>, They shall eat <0398>, and shall leave < 3498> [thereof].



44 So he set <5414> [it] before <6440> them, and they did eat
<0398>, and left <3498> [thereof], according to the word <1697>
of the LORD <3068>.



2Kings 5



1. Now Naaman <5283>, captain <8269> of the host < 6635> of the
king <4428> of Syria <0758>, was a great <1419> man <0376> with
his master <0113>, and honourable, because <3588> by him the
LORD <3068> had <1961> given <5414> deliverance <8668> unto
Syria <0758>: he was also a mighty <1368> man < 0376> in valour
<2428>, [but he was] a leper <6879>.



2 And the Syrians <0758> had gone <3318> out by companies
<1416>, and had brought <7617> away captive < 7617> out of the
land <0776> of Israel <3478> a little <6996> maid <5291>; and
she waited on Naaman's <5283> wife <0802>.



3 And she said <0559> unto her mistress <1404>, Would <0305>
God my lord <0113> [were] with the prophet <5030> that [is] in
Samaria <8111>! for he would recover <0622> him of his leprosy
<6883>.



4 And [one] went <0935> in, and told <5046> his lord <0113>,
saying <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063> said <1696> the maid
<5291> that [is] of the land <0776> of Israel < 3478>.



5 And the king <4428> of Syria <0758> said < 0559>, Go <3212> to,
go <0935>, and I will send <7971> a letter < 5612> unto the king
<4428> of Israel <3478>. And he departed <3212>, and took <3947>
with him ten <6235> talents <3603> of silver < 3701>, and six
<8337> thousand <0505> [pieces] of gold <2091>, and ten <6235>
changes <2487> of raiment <0899>.



6 And he brought <0935> the letter <5612> to the king <4428> of
Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Now <6258> when this <2088> letter
<5612> is come <0935> unto thee, behold <2009>, I have
[therewith] sent <7971> Naaman <5283> my servant < 5650> to thee,
that thou mayest recover <0622> him of his leprosy < 6883>.



7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> of Israel
<3478> had read <7121> the letter <5612>, that he rent <7167>
his clothes <0899>, and said <0559>, [Am] I God < 0430>, to kill
<4191> and to make alive <2421>, that this < 2088> man doth send
<7971> unto me to recover <0622> a man <0376> of his leprosy
<6883>? wherefore consider <3045>, I pray <4994> you, and see
<7200> how <3588> he seeketh <0579> a quarrel <0579> against me.



8 And it was [so], when Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God
<0430> had heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Israel <3478>
had rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, that he sent < 7971> to the
king <4428>, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4100> hast thou rent
<7167> thy clothes <0899>? let him come <0935> now <4994> to me,
and he shall know <3045> that there is a prophet < 5030> in
Israel <3478>.



9. So Naaman <5283> came <0935> with his horses < 5483> and with
his chariot <7393>, and stood <5975> at the door < 6607> of the
house <1004> of Elisha <0477>.



10 And Elisha <0477> sent <7971> a messenger < 4397> unto him,
saying <0559>, Go <1980> and wash <7364> in Jordan <3383> seven
<7651> times <6471>, and thy flesh <1320> shall come <7725>
again <7725> to thee, and thou shalt be clean <2891>.



11 But Naaman <5283> was wroth <7107>, and went < 3212> away,
and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, I thought <0559> , He will surely
come <3318> out to me, and stand <5975>, and call < 7121> on the
name <8034> of the LORD <3068> his God <0430>, and strike <5130>
his hand <3027> over <0413> the place <4725>, and recover <0622>
the leper <6879>.



12 [Are] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554>, rivers <5104> of
Damascus <1834>, better <2896> than all <3605> the waters <4325>
of Israel <3478>? may I not wash <7364> in them, and be clean
<2891>? So he turned <6437> and went <3212> away in a rage
<2534>.



13 And his servants <5650> came <5066> near < 5066>, and spake
<1696> unto him, and said <0559>, My father <1>, [if] the
prophet <5030> had bid <1696> thee [do some] great <1419> thing
<1697>, wouldest thou not have done <6213> [it]? how <0637> much
rather then, when <3588> he saith <0559> to thee, Wash <7364>,
and be clean <2891>?



14 Then went <3381> he down <3381>, and dipped < 2881> himself
seven <7651> times <6471> in Jordan <3383>, according to the
saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and his flesh
<1320> came <7725> again <7725> like unto the flesh <1320> of a
little <6995> child <5288>, and he was clean < 2891>.



15. And he returned <7725> to the man <0376> of God <0430>, he
and all <3605> his company <4264>, and came < 0935>, and stood
<5975> before <6440> him: and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, now
<4994> I know <3045> that [there is] no <0369> God <0430> in all
<3605> the earth <0776>, but in Israel <3478>: now <6258>
therefore, I pray <4994> thee, take <3947> a blessing <1293> of
thy servant <5650>.



16 But he said <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>,
before <6440> whom <0834> I stand <5975>, I will receive <3947>
none. And he urged <6484> him to take <3947> [it]; but he
refused <3985>.



17 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Shall there not then, I pray
<4994> thee, be given <5414> to thy servant < 5650> two mules
<6505>' burden <4853> of earth <0127>? for thy servant <5650>
will henceforth <5750> offer <6213> neither < 3808> burnt <5930>
offering nor sacrifice <2077> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, but
unto the LORD <3068>.



18 In this <2088> thing <1697> the LORD <3068> pardon <5545>
thy servant <5650>, [that] when my master <0113> goeth <0935>
into the house <1004> of Rimmon <7417> to worship < 7812> there
<8033>, and he leaneth <8127> on <5921> my hand <3027>, and I
bow <7812> myself in the house <1004> of Rimmon < 7417>: when I
bow <7812> down <7812> myself in the house < 1004> of Rimmon
<7417>, the LORD <3068> pardon <5545> thy servant <5650> in this
<2088> thing <1697>.



19 And he said <0559> unto him, Go <3212> in peace <7965>. So
he departed <3212> from him a little <3530> way < 0776>.



20. But Gehazi <1522>, the servant <5288> of Elisha <0477> the
man <0376> of God <0430>, said <0559>, Behold <2009>, my master
<0113> hath spared <2820> Naaman <5283> this <2088> Syrian
<0761>, in not receiving <3947> at his hands < 3027> that which
<0834> he brought <0935>: but, [as] the LORD < 3068> liveth
<2416>, I will run <7323> after <0310> him, and take <3947>
somewhat <3972> of him.



21 So Gehazi <1522> followed <7291> after < 0310> Naaman <5283>.
And when Naaman <5283> saw <7200> [him] running < 7323> after
<0310> him, he lighted <5307> down from the chariot <4818> to
meet <7125> him, and said <0559>, [Is] all well < 7965>?



22 And he said <0559>, All [is] well <7965>. My master <0113>
hath sent <7971> me, saying <0559>, Behold < 2009>, even now
<6258> there be come <0935> to me from mount < 2022> Ephraim
<0669> two <8147> young <5288> men of the sons <1121> of the
prophets <5030>: give <5414> them, I pray <4994> thee, a talent
<3603> of silver <3701>, and two <8147> changes <2487> of
garments <0899>.



23 And Naaman <5283> said <0559>, Be content < 2974>, take
<3947> two talents <3603>. And he urged <6555> him, and bound
<6887> two <8147> talents <3603> of silver < 3701> in two <8147>
bags <2754>, with two <8147> changes <2487> of garments <0899>,
and laid <5414> [them] upon two <8147> of his servants <5288>;
and they bare <5375> [them] before <6440> him.



24 And when he came <0935> to the tower <6076>, he took <3947>
[them] from their hand <3027>, and bestowed <6485> [them] in the
house <1004>: and he let the men <0582> go < 7971>, and they
departed <3212>.



25 But he went <0935> in, and stood <5975> before <0413> his
master <0113>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Whence
<0370> [comest thou], Gehazi <1522>? And he said < 0559>, Thy
servant <5650> went <1980> no <3808> whither <0575>.



26 And he said <0559> unto him, Went <1980> not mine heart
<3820> [with thee], when the man <0376> turned < 2015> again from
his chariot <4818> to meet <7125> thee? [Is it] a time <6256> to
receive <3947> money <3701>, and to receive < 3947> garments
<0899>, and oliveyards <2132>, and vineyards < 3754>, and sheep
<6629>, and oxen <1241>, and menservants <5650>, and
maidservants <8198>?



27 The leprosy <6883> therefore of Naaman <5283> shall cleave
<1692> unto thee, and unto thy seed <2233> for ever <5769>. And
he went <3318> out from his presence <6440> a leper <6879> [as
white] as snow <7950>.



2Kings 6



1. And the sons <1121> of the prophets <5030> said <0559> unto
Elisha <0477>, Behold <2009> now <4994>, the place <4725> where
we dwell <3427> with thee is too strait <6862> for us.



2 Let us go <3212>, we pray <4994> thee, unto Jordan <3383>,
and take <3947> thence <8033> every man <0376> a beam <6982>,
and let us make <6213> us a place <4725> there < 8033>, where
<8033> we may dwell <3427>. And he answered < 0559>, Go <3212> ye.



3 And one <0259> said <0559>, Be content <2974> , I pray <4994>
thee, and go <3212> with thy servants <5650>. And he answered
<0559>, I will go <3212>.



4 So he went <3212> with them. And when they came < 0935> to
Jordan <3383>, they cut <1504> down wood <6086>.



5 But as one <0259> was felling <5307> a beam < 6982>, the axe
<1270> head <1270> fell <5307> into <0413> the water <4325>: and
he cried <6817>, and said <0559>, Alas <0160>, master <0113>!
for it was borrowed <7592>.



6 And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559>, Where <0575>
fell <5307> it? And he shewed <7200> him the place <4725>. And
he cut <7094> down a stick <6086>, and cast < 7993> [it] in
thither <8033>; and the iron <1270> did swim < 6687>.



7 Therefore said <0559> he, Take <7311> [it] up to thee. And he
put <7971> out his hand <3027>, and took <3947> it.



8. Then the king <4428> of Syria <0758> warred < 3898> against
Israel <3478>, and took counsel <3289> with his servants <5650>,
saying <0559>, In such <6423> and such <0492> a place <4725>
[shall be] my camp <8466>.



9 And the man <0376> of God <0430> sent <7971> unto the king
<4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Beware <8104> that thou
pass <5674> not such <2088> a place <4725>; for thither <8033>
the Syrians <0758> are come <5185> down <5181>.



10 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> sent < 7971> to the
place <4725> which <0834> the man <0376> of God <0430> told
<0559> him and warned <2094> him of, and saved < 8104> himself
there <8033>, not once <0259> nor <3808> twice <8147>.



11 Therefore the heart <3820> of the king <4428> of Syria
<0758> was sore troubled <5590> for this <2088> thing <1697>;
and he called <7121> his servants <5650>, and said <0559> unto
them, Will ye not shew <5046> me which <4310> of us [is] for the
king <4428> of Israel <3478>?



12 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> said < 0559>, None
<3808>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>: but Elisha <0477>, the
prophet <5030> that [is] in Israel <3478>, telleth <5046> the
king <4428> of Israel <3478> the words <1697> that thou speakest
<1696> in thy bedchamber.



13. And he said <0559>, Go <3212> and spy < 7200> where <0351>
he [is], that I may send <7971> and fetch <3947> him. And it was
told <5046> him, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, [he is] in Dothan
<1886>.



14 Therefore sent <7971> he thither <8033> horses <5483>, and
chariots <7393>, and a great <3515> host <2428>: and they came
<0935> by night <3915>, and compassed <5362> the city <5892>
about <5362>.



15 And when the servant <8334> of the man <0376> of God <0430>
was risen <6965> early <7925>, and gone <3318> forth <3318>,
behold <2009>, an host <2428> compassed <5437> the city <5892>
both with horses <5483> and chariots <7393>. And his servant
<5288> said <0559> unto him, Alas <0160>, my master <0113>! how
<0349> shall we do <6213>?



16 And he answered <0559>, Fear <3372> not: for they that [be]
with us [are] more <7227> than they that [be] with them.



17 And Elisha <0477> prayed <6419>, and said < 0559>, LORD
<3068>, I pray <4994> thee, open <6491> his eyes <5869>, that he
may see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened < 6491> the eyes
<5869> of the young <5288> man; and he saw < 7200>: and, behold
<2009>, the mountain <2022> [was] full <4390> of horses <5483>
and chariots <7393> of fire <0784> round <5439> about Elisha
<0477>.



18 And when they came <3381> down <3381> to him, Elisha <0477>
prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, and said < 0559>, Smite
<5221> this <2088> people <1471>, I pray < 4994> thee, with
blindness <5575>. And he smote <5221> them with blindness <5575>
according to the word <1697> of Elisha <0477>.



19 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto them, This [is] not the
way <1870>, neither <3808> [is] this <2090> the city <5892>:
follow me, and I will bring <3212> you to the man < 0376> whom
<0834> ye seek <1245>. But he led <3212> them to Samaria <8111>.



20 And it came <1961> to pass, when they were come < 0935> into
Samaria <8111>, that Elisha <0477> said <0559>, LORD <3068>,
open <6491> the eyes <5869> of these <0428> [men], that they may
see <7200>. And the LORD <3068> opened <6491> their eyes <5869>,
and they saw <7200>; and, behold <2009>, [they were] in the
midst <8432> of Samaria <8111>.



21 And the king <4428> of Israel <3478> said < 0559> unto Elisha
<0477>, when he saw <7200> them, My father <1>, shall I smite
<5221> [them]? shall I smite <5221> [them]?



22 And he answered <0559>, Thou shalt not smite < 5221> [them]:
wouldest thou smite <5221> those whom <0834> thou hast taken
captive <7617> with thy sword <2719> and with thy bow <7198>?
set <7760> bread <3899> and water <4325> before <6440> them,
that they may eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and go < 3212> to
their master <0113>.



23 And he prepared <3739> great <1419> provision < 3740> for
them: and when they had eaten <0398> and drunk <8354>, he sent
<7971> them away, and they went <3212> to their master <0113>.
So the bands <1416> of Syria <0758> came <0935> no <3808> more
into the land <0776> of Israel <3478>.



24. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> this < 3651>, that
Benhadad <1130> king <4428> of Syria <0758> gathered <6908> all
<3605> his host, and went <5927> up, and besieged < 6696> Samaria
<8111>.



25 And there was a great <1419> famine <7458> in Samaria <8111>:
and, behold <2009>, they besieged <6696> it, until <5704> an
ass's <2543> head <7218> was [sold] for fourscore < 8084>
[pieces] of silver <3701>, and the fourth <7255> part of a cab
<6894> of dove's <1686> dung <2755> for five <2568> [pieces] of
silver <3701>.



26 And as the king <4428> of Israel <3478> was passing <5674>
by upon the wall <2346>, there cried <6817> a woman <0802> unto
him, saying <0559>, Help <3467>, my lord <0113>, O king <4428>.



27 And he said <0559>, If the LORD <3068> do not help <3467>
thee, whence <0370> shall I help <3467> thee? out of the
barnfloor <1637>, or <0176> out of the winepress < 3342>?



28 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> aileth
thee? And she answered <0559>, This <2063> woman < 0802> said
<0559> unto me, Give <5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat
<0398> him to day <3117>, and we will eat <0398> my son <1121>
to morrow <4279>.



29 So we boiled <1310> my son <1121>, and did eat <0398> him:
and I said <0559> unto her on the next <0312> day < 3117>, Give
<5414> thy son <1121>, that we may eat <0398> him: and she hath
hid <2244> her son <1121>.



30 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> heard
<8085> the words <1697> of the woman <0802>, that he rent <7167>
his clothes <0899>; and he passed <5674> by upon the wall <2346>,
and the people <5971> looked <7200>, and, behold < 2009>, [he
had] sackcloth <8242> within <1004> upon his flesh <1320>.



31 Then he said <0559>, God <0430> do <6213> so <3541> and more
<3254> also <3541> to me, if <0518> the head <7218> of Elisha
<0477> the son <1121> of Shaphat <8202> shall stand <5975> on
<5921> him this day <3117>.



32 But Elisha <0477> sat <3427> in his house < 1004>, and the
elders <2205> sat <3427> with him; and [the king] sent <7971> a
man <0376> from before <6440> him: but ere < 2962> the messenger
<4397> came <0935> to him, he said <0559> to the elders <2205>,
See <7200> ye how <3588> this son <1121> of a murderer <7523>
hath sent <7971> to take <5493> away mine head < 7218>? look
<7200>, when the messenger <4397> cometh <0935>, shut <5462> the
door <1817>, and hold <3905> him fast at the door < 1817>: [is]
not the sound <6963> of his master's <0113> feet < 7272> behind
<0310> him?



33 And while he yet <5750> talked <1696> with them, behold
<2009>, the messenger <4397> came <3381> down <3381> unto him:
and he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, this <2063> evil <7451> [is]
of the LORD <3068>; what <4100> should I wait < 3176> for the
LORD <3068> any longer <5750>?



2Kings 7



1. Then Elisha <0477> said <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD
<3068>, To morrow <4279> about this time <6256> [shall] a
measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> [be sold] for a shekel
<8255>, and two measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel
<8255>, in the gate <8179> of Samaria <8111>.



2 Then a lord <7991> on <5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> the
king <4428> leaned <8172> answered <6030> the man <0376> of God
<0430>, and said <0559>, Behold <2009>, [if] the LORD <3068>
would make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven < 8064>, might this
<2088> thing <1697> be? And he said <0559>, Behold <2009>, thou
shalt see <7200> [it] with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not eat
<0398> thereof.



3. And there were four <0702> leprous <6879> men < 0582> at the
entering <6607> in of the gate <8179>: and they said <0559> one
<0376> to another <7453>, Why <4100> sit < 3427> we here <6311>
until <5704> we die <4191>?



4 If <0518> we say <0559>, We will enter <0935> into the city
<5892>, then the famine <7458> [is] in the city < 5892>, and we
shall die <4191> there <8033>: and if <0518> we sit <3427> still
here <6311>, we die <4191> also. Now <6258> therefore come
<3212>, and let us fall <5307> unto the host < 4264> of the
Syrians <0758>: if <0518> they save <2421> us alive <2421>, we
shall live <2421>; and if <0518> they kill < 4191> us, we shall
but die <4191>.



5 And they rose <6965> up in the twilight <5399>, to go <0935>
unto the camp <4264> of the Syrians <0758>: and when they were
come <0935> to the uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264> of
Syria <0758>, behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man
<0376> there <8033>.



6 For the Lord <0136> had made the host <4264> of the Syrians
<0758> to hear <8085> a noise <6963> of chariots <7393>, and a
noise <6963> of horses <5483>, [even] the noise < 6963> of a
great <1419> host <2428>: and they said <0559> one <0376> to
another <0250>, Lo <2009>, the king <4428> of Israel <3478> hath
hired <7936> against <5921> us the kings <4428> of the Hittites
<2850>, and the kings <4428> of the Egyptians < 4714>, to come
<0935> upon us.



7 Wherefore they arose <6965> and fled <5127> in the twilight
<5399>, and left <5800> their tents <0168>, and their horses
<5483>, and their asses <2543>, even the camp < 4264> as it [was],
and fled <5127> for their life <5315>.



8 And when <3588> these <0428> lepers <6879> came <0935> to the
uttermost <7097> part of the camp <4264>, they went <0935> into
<0413> one <0259> tent <0168>, and did eat < 0398> and drink
<8354>, and carried <5375> thence <8033> silver <3701>, and gold
<2091>, and raiment <0899>, and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it];
and came <7725> again <7725>, and entered <0935> into <0413>
another <0312> tent <0168>, and carried <5375> thence <8033>
[also], and went <3212> and hid <2934> [it].



9 Then they said <0559> one <0376> to another < 7453>, We do
<6213> not well <3651>: this <1931> day < 3117> [is] a day <3117>
of good tidings <1309>, and we hold <2814> our peace <2814>: if
we tarry <2442> till <5704> the morning <1242> light <0216>,
some mischief <5771> will come <4672> upon us: now <6258>
therefore come <3212>, that we may go <0935> and tell <5046> the
king's <4428> household <1004>.



10 So they came <0935> and called <7121> unto the porter <7778>
of the city <5892>: and they told <5046> them, saying <0559>, We
came <0935> to the camp <4264> of the Syrians < 0758>, and,
behold <2009>, [there <8033> was] no <0369> man <0376> there
<8033>, neither <0369> voice <6963> of man < 0120>, but horses
<5483> tied <0631>, and asses <2543> tied < 0631>, and the tents
<0168> as they [were].



11 And he called <7121> the porters <7778>; and they told
<5046> [it] to the king's <4428> house <1004> within <6441>.



12. And the king <4428> arose <6965> in the night <3915>, and
said <0559> unto his servants <5650>, I will now < 4994> shew
<5046> you what the Syrians <0758> have done < 6213> to us. They
know <3045> that we [be] hungry <7456>; therefore are they gone
<3318> out of the camp <4264> to hide <2247> themselves in the
field <7704>, saying <0559>, When <3588> they come <3318> out of
the city <5892>, we shall catch <8610> them alive < 2416>, and
get <0935> into <0413> the city <5892>.



13 And one <0259> of his servants <5650> answered <6030> and
said <0559>, Let [some] take <3947>, I pray < 4994> thee, five
<2568> of the horses <5483> that remain <7604>, which <0834> are
left <7604> in the city, (behold, they [are] as all < 3605> the
multitude <1995> of Israel <3478> that are left < 7604> in it:
behold <2009>, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605> the
multitude <1995> of the Israelites <3478> that are consumed
<8552>:) and let us send <7971> and see <7200>.



14 They took <3947> therefore two <8147> chariot < 7393> horses
<5483>; and the king <4428> sent <7971> after <0310> the host
<4264> of the Syrians <0758>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> and see
<7200>.



15 And they went <3212> after <0310> them unto Jordan <3383>:
and, lo <2009>, all <3605> the way <1870> [was] full <4392> of
garments <0899> and vessels <3627>, which <0834> the Syrians
<0758> had cast <7993> away in their haste < 2648>. And the
messengers <4397> returned <7725>, and told < 5046> the king
<4428>.



16 And the people <5971> went <3318> out, and spoiled <0962>
the tents <4264> of the Syrians <0758>. So a measure <5429> of
fine flour <5560> was [sold] for a shekel <8255>, and two
measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel < 8255>, according
to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.



17 And the king <4428> appointed <6485> the lord < 7991> on
<5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> he leaned < 8172> to have the
charge <5921> of the gate <8179>: and the people < 5971> trode
<7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died < 4191>, as the
man <0376> of God <0430> had said <1696>, who <0834> spake
<1696> when the king <4428> came <3381> down <3381> to him.



18 And it came <1961> to pass as the man <0376> of God <0430>
had spoken <1696> to the king <4428>, saying < 0559>, Two
measures <5429> of barley <8184> for a shekel < 8255>, and a
measure <5429> of fine flour <5560> for a shekel < 8255>, shall
be to morrow <4279> about this time <6256> in the gate <8179> of
Samaria <8111>:



19 And that lord <7991> answered <6030> the man < 0376> of God
<0430>, and said <0559>, Now, behold <2009>, [if] the LORD
<3068> should make <6213> windows <0699> in heaven <8064>, might
such <2088> a thing <1697> be? And he said < 0559>, Behold <2009>,
thou shalt see <7200> it with thine eyes <5869>, but shalt not
eat <0398> thereof.



20 And so <3651> it fell <1961> out unto him: for the people
<5971> trode <7429> upon him in the gate <8179>, and he died
<4191>.



2Kings 8



1. Then spake <1696> Elisha <0477> unto the woman <0802>, whose
<0834> son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421>, saying
<0559>, Arise <6965>, and go <3212> thou and thine household
<1004>, and sojourn <1481> wheresoever <0834> thou canst sojourn
<1481>: for the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> for a famine
<7458>; and it shall also <1571> come <0935> upon the land
<0776> seven <7651> years <8141>.



2 And the woman <0802> arose <6965>, and did < 6213> after the
saying <1697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and she went
<3212> with her household <1004>, and sojourned < 1481> in the
land <0776> of the Philistines <6430> seven < 7651> years <8141>.



3 And it came <1961> to pass at the seven <7651> years <8141>'
end <7097>, that the woman <0802> returned < 7725> out of the
land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>: and she went <3318> forth
<3318> to cry <6817> unto the king <4428> for her house <1004>
and for her land <7704>.



4 And the king <4428> talked <1696> with Gehazi < 1522> the
servant <5288> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, saying <0559>,
Tell <5608> me, I pray <4994> thee, all <3605> the great <1419>
things that Elisha <0477> hath done <6213>.



5 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was telling < 5608> the king
<4428> how <0834> he had restored <2421> a dead <4191> body to
life <2421>, that, behold <2009>, the woman < 0802>, whose <0834>
son <1121> he had restored <2421> to life <2421> , cried <6817>
to the king <4428> for her house <1004> and for her land <7704>.
And Gehazi <1522> said <0559>, My lord <0113>, O king <4428>,
this <2063> [is] the woman <0802>, and this < 2088> [is] her son
<1121>, whom <0834> Elisha <0477> restored < 2421> to life <2421>.



6 And when the king <4428> asked <7592> the woman <0802>, she
told <5608> him. So the king <4428> appointed < 5414> unto her a
certain <0259> officer <5631>, saying <0559>, Restore <7725> all
<3605> that [was] hers, and all <3605> the fruits < 8393> of the
field <7704> since the day <3117> that she left < 5800> the land
<0776>, even until <5704> now <6258>.



7. And Elisha <0477> came <0935> to Damascus < 1834>; and
Benhadad <1130> the king <4428> of Syria <0758> was sick <2470>;
and it was told <5046> him, saying <0559>, The man <0376> of God
<0430> is come <0935> hither <2008>.



8 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto Hazael < 2371>, Take
<3947> a present <4503> in thine hand <3027>, and go <3212>,
meet <7125> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and enquire <1875> of
the LORD <3068> by him, saying <0559>, Shall I recover <2421> of
this <2088> disease <2483>?



9 So Hazael <2371> went <3212> to meet <7125> him, and took
<3947> a present <4503> with him, even of every < 3605> good
<2898> thing of Damascus <1834>, forty <0705> camels <1581>'
burden <4853>, and came <0935> and stood <5975> before <6440>
him, and said <0559>, Thy son <1121> Benhadad < 1130> king <4428>
of Syria <0758> hath sent <7971> me to thee, saying <0559>,
Shall I recover <2421> of this <2088> disease < 2483>?



10 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Go < 3212>, say
<0559> unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover <2421>: howbeit
the LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that he shall surely die
<4191>.



11 And he settled <5975> his countenance <6440> stedfastly
<7760>, until <5704> he was ashamed <0954>: and the man <0376>
of God <0430> wept <1058>.



12 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, Why <4069> weepeth <1058> my
lord <0113>? And he answered <0559>, Because < 3588> I know
<3045> the evil <7451> that thou wilt do <6213> unto the
children <1121> of Israel <3478>: their strong < 4013> holds
<4013> wilt thou set <7971> on fire <0784>, and their young
<0970> men wilt thou slay <2026> with the sword < 2719>, and wilt
dash <7376> their children <6768>, and rip < 1234> up their women
with child <2030>.



13 And Hazael <2371> said <0559>, But what < 4100>, [is] thy
servant <5650> a dog <3611>, that he should do < 6213> this
<2088> great <1419> thing <1697>? And Elisha <0477> answered
<0559>, The LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me that thou [shalt
be] king <4428> over <5921> Syria <0758>.



14 So he departed <3212> from Elisha <0477>, and came <0935> to
his master <0113>; who <4310> said <0559> to him, What <4100>
said <0559> Elisha <0477> to thee? And he answered <0559>, He
told <0559> me [that] thou shouldest surely recover < 2421>.



15 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that he
took <3947> a thick cloth <4346>, and dipped < 2881> [it] in
water <4325>, and spread <6566> [it] on <5921> his face <6440>,
so that he died <4191>: and Hazael <2371> reigned < 4427> in his
stead <8478>.



16. And in the fifth <2568> year <8141> of Joram < 3141> the son
<1121> of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel < 3478>, Jehoshaphat
<3092> [being] then king <4428> of Judah <3063>, Jehoram <3088>
the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092> king <4428> of Judah <3063>
began to reign <4427>.



17 Thirty <7970> and two <8147> years <8141> old <1121> was he
when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> eight
<8083> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>.



18 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428>
of Israel <3478>, as did <6213> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>:
for the daughter <1323> of Ahab <0256> was his wife <0802>: and
he did evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>.



19 Yet the LORD <3068> would <14> not destroy < 7843> Judah
<3063> for David <1732> his servant's <5650> sake <4616>, as he
promised <0559> him to give <5414> him alway a light <5216>,
[and] to his children <1121>.



20 In his days <3117> Edom <0123> revolted < 6586> from under
<8478> the hand <3027> of Judah <3063>, and made a king <4428>
over <5921> themselves <1992>.



21 So Joram <3141> went <5674> over <5674> to Zair, and all
<3605> the chariots <7393> with him: and he rose < 6965> by night
<3915>, and smote <5221> the Edomites <0130> which compassed
<5437> him about <0413>, and the captains <8269> of the chariots
<7393>: and the people <5971> fled <5127> into their tents
<0168>.



22 Yet Edom <0123> revolted <6586> from under < 8478> the hand
<3027> of Judah <3063> unto this day <3117>. Then <0227> Libnah
<3841> revolted <6586> at the same <1931> time <6256>.



23 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joram <3141>, and
all <3605> that he did, [are] they not written <3789> in the
book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings < 4428> of
Judah <3063>?



24 And Joram <3141> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was
buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city < 5892> of David
<1732>: and Ahaziah <0274> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his
stead <8478>.



25. In the twelfth year <8141> of Joram <3141> the son <1121>
of Ahab <0256> king <4428> of Israel <3478> did Ahaziah <0274>
the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king <4428> of Judah <3063>
begin to reign <4427>.



26 Two <8147> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was]
Ahaziah <0274> when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned one
<0259> year <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>
name <8034> [was] Athaliah <6271>, the daughter < 1323> of Omri
<6018> king <4428> of Israel <3478>.



27 And he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the house <1004>
of Ahab <0256>, and did <6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869>
of the LORD <3068>, as [did] the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>:
for he [was] the son <2860> in law <2859> of the house <1004> of
Ahab <0256>.



28 And he went <3212> with Joram <3141> the son < 1121> of Ahab
<0256> to the war <4421> against <5973> Hazael <2371> king
<4428> of Syria <0758> in Ramothgilead <7433>; and the Syrians
<0761> wounded <5221> Joram <3141>.



29 And king <4428> Joram <3141> went <7725> back <7725> to be
healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds < 4347> which
<0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him at Ramah <7414>,
when he fought <3898> against Hazael <2371> king < 4428> of Syria
<0758>. And Ahaziah <0274> the son <1121> of Jehoram <3088> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> went <3381> down < 3381> to see <7200>
Joram <3141> the son <1121> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel <3157>,
because <3588> he was sick <2470>.



2Kings 9



1. And Elisha <0477> the prophet <5030> called < 7121> one
<0259> of the children <1121> of the prophets < 5030>, and said
<0559> unto him, Gird <2296> up thy loins <4975> , and take
<3947> this <2088> box <6378> of oil < 8081> in thine hand <3027>,
and go <3212> to Ramothgilead <7433>:



2 And when thou comest <0935> thither <8033>, look <7200> out
there <8033> Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat <3092>
the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>, and go <0935> in, and make him
arise <6965> up from among <8432> his brethren < 0251>, and carry
<0935> him to an inner <2315> chamber <2315>;



3 Then take <3947> the box <6378> of oil <8081> , and pour
<3332> [it] on <5921> his head <7218>, and say <0559>, Thus
<3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee
king <4428> over <5921> Israel <3478>. Then open <6605> the door
<1817>, and flee <5127>, and tarry <2442> not.



4 So the young <5288> man, [even] the young <5288> man <0376>
the prophet <5030>, went <3212> to Ramothgilead < 7433>.



5 And when <3588> he came <0935>, behold <2009> , the captains
<8269> of the host <2428> [were] sitting <3427>; and he said
<0559>, I have an errand <1697> to thee, O captain <8269>. And
Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Unto which <4310> of all <3605> us? And
he said <0559>, To thee, O captain <8269>.



6 And he arose <6965>, and went <0935> into the house <1004>;
and he poured <3332> the oil <8081> on <0413> his head <7218>,
and said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, I have anointed <4886> thee
king <4428> over <0413> the people <5971> of the LORD <3068>,
[even] over <0413> Israel <3478>.



7 And thou shalt smite <5221> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>
thy master <0113>, that I may avenge <5358> the blood <1818> of
my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, and the blood <1818> of
all <3605> the servants <5650> of the LORD < 3068>, at the hand
<3027> of Jezebel <0348>.



8 For the whole <3605> house <1004> of Ahab < 0256> shall perish
<6>: and I will cut <3772> off from Ahab <0256> him that pisseth
<8366> against the wall <7023>, and him that is shut <6113> up
and left in Israel <3478>:



9 And I will make <5414> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> like
the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379> the son < 1121> of Nebat
<5028>, and like the house <1004> of Baasha < 1201> the son
<1121> of Ahijah <0281>:



10 And the dogs <3611> shall eat <0398> Jezebel < 0348> in the
portion <2506> of Jezreel <3157>, and [there shall be] none
<0369> to bury <6912> [her]. And he opened < 6605> the door
<1817>, and fled <5127>.



11. Then Jehu <3058> came <3318> forth <3318> to the servants
<5650> of his lord <0113>: and [one] said <0559> unto him, [Is]
all well <7965>? wherefore <4069> came <0935> this <2088> mad
<7696> [fellow] to thee? And he said <0559> unto them, Ye know
<3045> the man <0376>, and his communication < 7879>.



12 And they said <0559>, [It is] false <8267>; tell <5046> us
now <4994>. And he said <0559>, Thus <2063> and thus <2063>
spake <0559> he to me, saying <0559>, Thus < 3541> saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>, I have anointed <4886> thee king < 4428> over
<0413> Israel <3478>.



13 Then they hasted <4116>, and took <3947> every man <0376>
his garment <0899>, and put <7760> [it] under < 8478> him on
<0413> the top <1634> of the stairs <4609>, and blew <8628> with
trumpets <7782>, saying <0559>, Jehu <3058> is king <4427>.



14 So Jehu <3058> the son <1121> of Jehoshaphat < 3092> the son
<1121> of Nimshi <5250> conspired <7194> against <0413> Joram
<3141>. (Now Joram <3141> had kept <8104> Ramothgilead <7433>,
he and all <3605> Israel <3478>, because <6440> of Hazael <2371>
king <4428> of Syria <0758>.



15 But king <4428> Joram <3188> was returned < 7725> to be
healed <7495> in Jezreel <3157> of the wounds < 4347> which
<0834> the Syrians <0761> had given <5221> him, when he fought
<3898> with Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>.) And Jehu
<3058> said <0559>, If <0518> it be your minds <5315>, [then]
let none <0408> go <3318> forth <3318> [nor] escape <6412> out
of the city <5892> to go <3212> to tell <5046> [it] in Jezreel
<3157>.



16. So Jehu <3058> rode <7392> in a chariot, and went <3212> to
Jezreel <3157>; for Joram <3141> lay <7901> there <8033>. And
Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063> was come <3381> down
<3381> to see <7200> Joram <3141>.



17 And there stood <5975> a watchman <6822> on < 5921> the tower
<4026> in Jezreel <3157>, and he spied <7200> the company <8229>
of Jehu <3058> as he came <0935>, and said < 0559>, I see <7200>
a company <8229>. And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Take <3947> an
horseman <7395>, and send <7971> to meet <7125> them, and let
him say <0559>, [Is it] peace <7965>?



18 So there went <3212> one on horseback to meet < 7125> him,
and said <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, [Is
it] peace <7965>? And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, What <4100> hast
thou to do with peace <7965>? turn <5437> thee behind <0310> me.
And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying < 0559>, The
messenger <4397> came <0935> to them, but he cometh <7725> not
again <7725>.



19 Then he sent <7971> out a second <8145> on horseback, which
came <0935> to them, and said <0559>, Thus < 3541> saith <0559>
the king <4428>, [Is it] peace <7965>? And Jehu < 3058> answered
<0559>, What <4100> hast thou to do with peace < 7965>? turn
<5437> thee behind <0310> me.



20 And the watchman <6822> told <5046>, saying < 0559>, He came
<0935> even unto them, and cometh <7725> not again <7725>: and
the driving <4491> [is] like the driving <4491> of Jehu <3058>
the son <1121> of Nimshi <5250>; for he driveth < 5090> furiously
<7697>.



21 And Joram <3188> said <0559>, Make ready < 0631>. And his
chariot <7393> was made ready <0631>. And Joram < 3188> king
<4428> of Israel <3478> and Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of Judah
<3063> went <3318> out, each <0376> in his chariot <7393>, and
they went <3318> out against <7125> Jehu <3058>, and met <4672>
him in the portion <2513> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite <3158>.



22 And it came <1961> to pass, when Joram <3188> saw <7200>
Jehu <3058>, that he said <0559>, [Is it] peace < 7965>, Jehu
<3058>? And he answered <0559>, What <4100> peace <7965>, so
long <5704> as the whoredoms <2183> of thy mother < 0517> Jezebel
<0348> and her witchcrafts <3785> [are so] many < 7227>?



23 And Joram <3188> turned <2015> his hands < 3027>, and fled
<5127>, and said <0559> to Ahaziah <0274>, [There is] treachery
<4820>, O Ahaziah <0274>.



24 And Jehu <3058> drew a bow <7198> with his full <4390>
strength <3027>, and smote <5221> Jehoram <3088> between <0996>
his arms <2220>, and the arrow <2678> went < 3318> out at his
heart <3820>, and he sunk <3766> down in his chariot <7393>.



25 Then said <0559> [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920> his captain <7991>,
Take <5375> up, [and] cast <7993> him in the portion <2513> of
the field <7704> of Naboth <5022> the Jezreelite < 3158>: for
remember <2142> how that, when I and thou rode <7392> together
<6776> after <0310> Ahab <0256> his father < 1>, the LORD <3068>
laid <5375> this <2088> burden <4853> upon him;



26 Surely I have seen <7200> yesterday <0570> the blood <1818>
of Naboth <5022>, and the blood <1818> of his sons <1121>, saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>; and I will requite < 7999> thee in this
<2063> plat <2513>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>. Now <6258>
therefore take <5375> [and] cast <7993> him into the plat <2513>
[of ground], according to the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068>.



27 But when Ahaziah <0274> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> saw
<7200> [this], he fled <5127> by the way <1870> of the garden
<1588> house <1004>. And Jehu <3058> followed <7291> after
<0310> him, and said <0559>, Smite <5221> him also <1571> in the
chariot <4818>. [And they did so] at the going <4608> up to Gur
<1483>, which <0834> [is] by Ibleam <2991>. And he fled <5127>
to Megiddo <4023>, and died <4191> there <8033>.



28 And his servants <5650> carried <7392> him in a chariot to
Jerusalem <3389>, and buried <6912> him in his sepulchre <6900>
with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of David < 1732>.



29 And in the eleventh year <8141> of Joram <3188> the son
<1121> of Ahab <0256> began Ahaziah <0274> to reign <4427> over
<5921> Judah <3063>.



30. And when Jehu <3058> was come <0935> to Jezreel <3157>,
Jezebel <0348> heard <8085> [of it]; and she painted her face
<5869>, and tired <3190> her head <7218>, and looked <8259> out
at <1157> a window <2474>.



31 And as Jehu <3058> entered <0935> in at the gate <8179>, she
said <0559>, [Had] Zimri <2174> peace <7965>, who slew <2026>
his master <0113>?



32 And he lifted <5375> up his face <6440> to the window <2474>,
and said <0559>, Who <4310> [is] on <0854> my side? who <4310>?
And there looked <8259> out to him two <8147> [or] three <7969>
eunuchs <5631>.



33 And he said <0559>, Throw <8058> her down < 8058>. So they
threw <8058> her down <8058>: and [some] of her blood <1818> was
sprinkled <5137> on <0413> the wall <7023>, and on <0413> the
horses <5483>: and he trode <7429> her under foot.



34 And when he was come <0935> in, he did eat <0398> and drink
<8354>, and said <0559>, Go <6485>, see now < 4994> this <2063>
cursed <0779> [woman], and bury <6912> her: for she [is] a
king's <4428> daughter <1323>.



35 And they went <3212> to bury <6912> her: but they found
<4672> no <3808> more of her than the skull < 1538>, and the feet
<7272>, and the palms <3709> of [her] hands < 3027>.



36 Wherefore they came <7725> again <7725>, and told <5046> him.
And he said <0559>, This <1931> [is] the word < 1697> of the
LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant <5650>
Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <8664>, saying <0559> , In the portion
<2506> of Jezreel <3157> shall dogs <3611> eat <0398> the flesh
<1320> of Jezebel <0348>:



37 And the carcase <5038> of Jezebel <0348> shall be as dung
<1828> upon the face <6440> of the field <7704> in the portion
<2506> of Jezreel <3157>; [so] that they shall not say <0559>,
This <2063> [is] Jezebel <0348>.



2Kings 10



1. And Ahab <0256> had seventy <7657> sons < 1121> in Samaria
<8111>. And Jehu <3058> wrote <3789> letters <5612>, and sent
<7971> to Samaria <8111>, unto the rulers <8269> of Jezreel
<3157>, to the elders <2205>, and to them that brought <0539> up
Ahab's <0256> [children], saying <0559>,



2 Now <6258> as soon as this <2088> letter < 5612> cometh <0935>
to you, seeing your master's <0113> sons <1121> [are] with you,
and [there are] with you chariots <7393> and horses < 5483>, a
fenced <4013> city <5892> also, and armour < 5402>;



3 Look <7200> even out the best <2896> and meetest <3477> of
your master's <0113> sons <1121>, and set <7760> [him] on <5921>
his father's <1> throne <3678>, and fight <3898> for your
master's <0113> house <1004>.



4 But they were exceedingly <3966> afraid <3372>, and said
<0559>, Behold <2009>, two <8147> kings < 4428> stood <5975> not
before <6440> him: how <0349> then shall we stand < 5975>?



5 And he that [was] over <5921> the house <1004>, and he that
[was] over <5921> the city <5892>, the elders < 2205> also, and
the bringers <0539> up [of the children], sent <7971> to Jehu
<3058>, saying <0559>, We [are] thy servants < 5650>, and will do
<6213> all <3605> that thou shalt bid <0559> us; we will not
make any <0376> king <4427>: do <6213> thou [that which is] good
<2896> in thine eyes <5869>.



6 Then he wrote <3789> a letter <5612> the second <8145> time
to them, saying <0559>, If <0518> ye [be] mine, and [if <0518>]
ye will hearken <8085> unto my voice <6963>, take < 3947> ye the
heads <7218> of the men <0582> your master's < 0113> sons <1121>,
and come <0935> to me to Jezreel <3157> by to morrow <4279> this
time <6256>. Now the king's <4428> sons <1121>, [being] seventy
<7657> persons <0376>, [were] with the great < 1419> men of the
city <5892>, which brought <1431> them up.



7 And it came <1961> to pass, when the letter <5612> came
<0935> to them, that they took <3947> the king's < 4428> sons
<1121>, and slew <7819> seventy <7657> persons <0376>, and put
<7760> their heads <7218> in baskets <1731>, and sent <7971> him
[them] to Jezreel <3157>.



8 And there came <0935> a messenger <4397>, and told <5046> him,
saying <0559>, They have brought <0935> the heads <7218> of the
king's <4428> sons <1121>. And he said <0559>, Lay <7760> ye
them in two <8147> heaps <6632> at the entering < 6607> in of the
gate <8179> until <5704> the morning <1242>.



9 And it came <1961> to pass in the morning <1242>, that he
went <3318> out, and stood <5975>, and said < 0559> to all <3605>
the people <5971>, Ye [be] righteous <6662>: behold <2009>, I
conspired <7194> against <5921> my master <0113> , and slew
<2026> him: but who <4310> slew <5221> all < 3605> these <0428>?



10 Know <3045> now <0645> that there shall fall < 5307> unto the
earth <0776> nothing <3808> of the word <1697> of the LORD
<3068>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> spake < 1696> concerning
<5921> the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>: for the LORD <3068> hath
done <6213> [that] which <0834> he spake <1696> by his servant
<5650> Elijah <0452>.



11 So Jehu <3058> slew <5221> all <3605> that remained <7604>
of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> in Jezreel < 3157>, and all
<3605> his great <1419> men, and his kinsfolks < 3045>, and his
priests <3548>, until <5704> he left <7604> him none <1115>
remaining <8300>.



12 And he arose <6965> and departed <0935>, and came <1980> to
Samaria <8111>. [And] as he [was] at the shearing house < 1004>
in the way <1870>,



13 Jehu <3058> met <4672> with the brethren < 0251> of Ahaziah
<0274> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and said <0559>, Who <4310>
[are] ye? And they answered <0559>, We [are] the brethren <0251>
of Ahaziah <0274>; and we go <3381> down <3381> to salute <7965>
the children <1121> of the king <4428> and the children <1121>
of the queen <1377>.



14 And he said <0559>, Take <8610> them alive < 2416>. And they
took <8610> them alive <2416>, and slew <7819> them at the pit
<0953> of the shearing <1044> house <1004>, [even] two <8147>
and forty <0705> men <0376>; neither <3808> left <7604> he any
<0376> of them.



15. And when he was departed <3212> thence <8033>, he lighted
<4672> on <0854> Jehonadab <3082> the son < 1121> of Rechab
<7394> [coming] to meet <7125> him: and he saluted <1288> him,
and said <0559> to him, Is thine heart <3824> right <3225>, as
my heart <3824> [is] with thy heart <3824>? And Jehonadab <3082>
answered <0559>, It is. If it be, give <5414> [me] thine hand
<3027>. And he gave <5414> [him] his hand <3027> ; and he took
<5927> him up to him into <0413> the chariot < 4818>.



16 And he said <0559>, Come <3212> with me, and see <7200> my
zeal <7068> for the LORD <3068>. So they made him ride <7392> in
his chariot <7393>.



17 And when he came <0935> to Samaria <8111>, he slew <5221>
all <3605> that remained <7604> unto Ahab <0256> in Samaria
<8111>, till <5704> he had destroyed <8045> him, according to
the saying <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which < 0834> he spake
<1696> to Elijah <0452>.



18 And Jehu <3058> gathered <6908> all <3605> the people <5971>
together, and said <0559> unto them, Ahab <0256> served <5647>
Baal <1168> a little <4592>; [but] Jehu <3058> shall serve
<5647> him much <7235>.



19 Now <6258> therefore call <7121> unto me all < 3605> the
prophets <5030> of Baal <1168>, all <3605> his servants <5647>,
and all <3605> his priests <3548>; let none be wanting <6485>:
for I have a great <1419> sacrifice <2077> [to do] to Baal
<1168>; whosoever shall be wanting <6485>, he shall not live
<2421>. But Jehu <3058> did <6213> [it] in subtilty <6122>, to
the intent <4616> that he might destroy <6> the worshippers
<5647> of Baal <1168>.



20 And Jehu <3058> said <0559>, Proclaim <6942> a solemn <6116>
assembly <6116> for Baal <1168>. And they proclaimed <7121> [it].



21 And Jehu <3058> sent <7971> through all < 3605> Israel <3478>:
and all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal < 1168> came
<0935>, so that there was not a man <0376> left < 7604> that came
<0935> not. And they came <0935> into the house < 1004> of Baal
<1168>; and the house <1004> of Baal <1168> was full <4390> from
one end <6310> to another.



22 And he said <0559> unto him that [was] over <5921> the
vestry <4458>, Bring <3318> forth <3318> vestments <3830> for
all <3605> the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> . And he brought
<3318> them forth <3318> vestments <4403>.



23 And Jehu <3058> went <0935>, and Jehonadab < 3082> the son
<1121> of Rechab <7394>, into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>,
and said <0559> unto the worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168>,
Search <2664>, and look <7200> that there be here < 6311> with
you none of the servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, but the
worshippers <5647> of Baal <1168> only <0905>.



24 And when <3588> they went <0935> in to offer < 6213>
sacrifices <2077> and burnt <5930> offerings, Jehu <3058>
appointed <7760> fourscore <8084> men <0376> without <2351>, and
said <0559>, [If] any of the men <0582> whom < 0834> I have
brought <0935> into <5921> your hands <3027> escape <4422>, [he
that letteth him go], his life <2421> [shall be] for the life
<5315> of him.



25 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<3615> of offering <6213> the burnt <5930> offering, that Jehu
<3058> said <0559> to the guard <7323> and to the captains
<7991>, Go <0935> in, [and] slay <5221> them; let none <0408>
come <3381> forth <3318>. And they smote <5221> them with the
edge <6310> of the sword <2719>; and the guard < 7323> and the
captains <7991> cast <7993> [them] out, and went < 3212> to the
city <5892> of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>.



26 And they brought <3318> forth <3318> the images <4676> out
of the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and burned < 8313> them.



27 And they brake <5422> down <5422> the image < 4676> of Baal
<1168>, and brake <5422> down <5422> the house <1004> of Baal
<1168>, and made <7760> it a draught <4280> house unto this
<2088> day <3117>.



28 Thus <3541> Jehu <3058> destroyed <8045> Baal <1168> out of
Israel <3478>.



29. Howbeit [from] the sins <2399> of Jeroboam <3379> the son
<1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin
<2398>, Jehu <3058> departed <5493> not from after <0310> them,
[to wit], the golden <2091> calves <5695> that [were] in Bethel
<1008>, and that [were] in Dan <1835>.



30 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Jehu < 3058>, Because
thou hast done well <2895> in executing <6213> [that which is]
right <3225> in mine eyes <5869>, [and] hast done < 6213> unto
the house <1004> of Ahab <0256> according to all < 3605> that
[was] in mine heart <3824>, thy children <1121> of the fourth
<7243> [generation] shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678>
of Israel <3478>.



31 But Jehu <3058> took no <3808> heed <8104> to walk <3212> in
the law <8451> of the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>
with all <3605> his heart <3824>: for he departed < 5493> not
from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379>, which < 0834> made
Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.



32 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to
cut <7096> Israel <3478> short: and Hazael < 2371> smote <5221>
them in all <3605> the coasts <1366> of Israel < 3478>;



33 From Jordan <3383> eastward, all <3605> the land <0776> of
Gilead <1568>, the Gadites <1425>, and the Reubenites <7206>,
and the Manassites <4520>, from Aroer <6177>, which <0834> [is]
by the river <5158> Arnon <0769>, even Gilead < 1568> and Bashan
<1316>.



34 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehu <3058>, and
all <3605> that he did <6213>, and all <3605> his might <1369>,
[are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the
chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel < 3478>?



35 And Jehu <3058> slept <7901> with his fathers < 1>: and they
buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>. And Jehoahaz < 3059> his son
<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.



36 And the time <3117> that Jehu <3058> reigned < 4427> over
<5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> [was] twenty <6242> and
eight <8083> years <8141>.



2Kings 11



1. And when Athaliah <6271> the mother <0517> of Ahaziah <0274>
saw <7200> that her son <1121> was dead <4191>, she arose <6965>
and destroyed <6> all <3605> the seed <2233> royal <4467>.



2 But Jehosheba <3089>, the daughter <1323> of king <4428>
Joram <3141>, sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274>, took <3947> Joash
<3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <1589> him
from among <8432> the king's <4428> sons <1121> [which were]
slain <4191>; and they hid <5641> him, [even] him and his nurse
<3243>, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271>, so that he was
not slain <4191>.



3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004> of the
LORD <3068> six <8337> years <8141>. And Athaliah <6271> did
reign <4427> over <5921> the land <0776>.



4. And the seventh <7637> year <8141> Jehoiada < 3111> sent
<7971> and fetched <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>,
with the captains <3746> and the guard <7323>, and brought
<0935> them to him into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and
made <3772> a covenant <1285> with them, and took an oath <7650>
of them in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and shewed
<7200> them the king's <4428> son <1121>.



5 And he commanded <6680> them, saying <0559>, This <2088> [is]
the thing <1697> that ye shall do <6213>; A third < 7992> part of
you that enter <0935> in on the sabbath <7676> shall even be
keepers <8104> of the watch <4931> of the king's < 4428> house
<1004>;



6 And a third <7992> part [shall be] at the gate < 8179> of Sur
<5495>; and a third <7992> part at the gate < 8179> behind <0310>
the guard <7323>: so shall ye keep <8104> the watch <4931> of
the house <1004>, that it be not broken <4535> down <4535>.



7 And two <8147> parts <3027> of all <3605> you that go <3318>
forth <3318> on the sabbath <7676>, even they shall keep <8104>
the watch <4931> of the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068> about
<0413> the king <4428>.



8 And ye shall compass <5362> the king <4428> round <5439>
about, every man <0376> with his weapons <3627> in his hand
<3027>: and he that cometh <0935> within the ranges <7713>, let
him be slain <4191>: and be ye with the king <4428> as he goeth
<3318> out and as he cometh <0935> in.



9 And the captains <8269> over the hundreds <3967> did <6213>
according to all <3605> [things] that Jehoiada <3111> the priest
<3548> commanded <6680>: and they took <3947> every man <0376>
his men <0582> that were to come <0935> in on the sabbath <7676>,
with them that should go <3318> out on the sabbath < 7676>, and
came <0935> to Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> .



10 And to the captains <8269> over hundreds <3967> did the
priest <3548> give <5414> king <4428> David's <1732> spears
<2595> and shields <7982>, that [were] in the temple <1004> of
the LORD <3068>.



11 And the guard <7323> stood <5975>, every man < 0376> with his
weapons <3627> in his hand <3027>, round <5439> about <5921> the
king <4428>, from the right <3233> corner <3802> of the temple
<1004> to the left <8042> corner <3802> of the temple <1004>,
[along] by the altar <4196> and the temple <1004>.



12 And he brought <3318> forth <3318> the king's < 4428> son
<1121>, and put <5414> the crown <5145> upon him, and [gave him]
the testimony <5715>; and they made him king <4427>, and
anointed <4886> him; and they clapped <5221> their hands <3709>,
and said <0559>, God save <2421> the king <4428> .



13. And when Athaliah <6271> heard <8085> the noise <6963> of
the guard <7323> [and] of the people <5971>, she came <0935> to
the people <5971> into the temple <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



14 And when she looked <7200>, behold <2009>, the king <4428>
stood <5975> by a pillar <5982>, as the manner < 4941> [was], and
the princes <8269> and the trumpeters <2689> by the king <4428>,
and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land < 0776> rejoiced
<8056>, and blew <8628> with trumpets: and Athaliah <6271> rent
<7167> her clothes <0899>, and cried <7121>, Treason <7195>,
Treason <7195>.



15 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> commanded <6680> the
captains <8269> of the hundreds <3967>, the officers <6485> of
the host <2428>, and said <0559> unto them, Have < 3318> her
forth <3318> without the ranges <7713>: and him that followeth
her kill <4191> with the sword <2719>. For the priest <3548> had
said <0559>, Let her not be slain <4191> in the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>.



16 And they laid <7760> hands <3027> on her; and she went
<0935> by the way <1870> by the which the horses < 5483> came
<3996> into the king's <4428> house <1004>: and there <8033> was
she slain <4191>.



17. And Jehoiada <3111> made <3772> a covenant < 1285> between
<0996> the LORD <3068> and the king <4428> and the people <5971>,
that they should be the LORD'S <3068> people <5971>; between
<0996> the king <4428> also and the people < 5971>.



18 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land < 0776> went
<0935> into the house <1004> of Baal <1168>, and brake <5422> it
down <5422>; his altars <4196> and his images < 6754> brake
<7665> they in pieces thoroughly <3190>, and slew < 2026> Mattan
<4977> the priest <3548> of Baal <1168> before <6440> the altars
<4196>. And the priest <3548> appointed <7760> officers <6486>
over <5921> the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



19 And he took <3947> the rulers <8269> over hundreds <3967>,
and the captains <3746>, and the guard <7323>, and all <3605>
the people <5971> of the land <0776>; and they brought <3381>
down <3381> the king <4428> from the house < 1004> of the LORD
<3068>, and came <0935> by the way <1870> of the gate <8179> of
the guard <7323> to the king's <4428> house < 1004>. And he sat
<3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of the kings <4428>.



20 And all <3605> the people <5971> of the land < 0776> rejoiced
<8055>, and the city <5892> was in quiet <8252>: and they slew
<4191> Athaliah <6271> with the sword <2719> [beside] the king's
<4428> house <1004>.



21 Seven <7651> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Jehoash <3060>
when he began to reign <4427>.



2Kings 12



1. In the seventh <7651> year <8141> of Jehu < 3058> Jehoash
<3060> began to reign <4427>; and forty <0705> years <8141>
reigned <4427> he in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>
name <8034> [was] Zibiah <6645> of Beersheba < 0884>.



2 And Jehoash <3060> did <6213> [that which was] right <3477>
in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> all < 3605> his days
<3117> wherein <0834> Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>
instructed <3384> him.



3 But the high <1116> places were not taken <5493> away <5493>:
the people <5971> still <5750> sacrificed <2076> and burnt
<6999> incense <6999> in the high <1116> places.



4. And Jehoash <3060> said <0559> to the priests < 3548>, All
<3605> the money <3701> of the dedicated <6944> things that is
brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068>, [even]
the money <3701> of every <3605> one that passeth < 5674> [the
account], the money <3701> that every man <5315> is set <6187>
at, [and] all <3605> the money <3701> that cometh < 5927> into
<5921> any man's <0376> heart <3820> to bring <0935> into the
house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,



5 Let the priests <3548> take <3947> [it] to them, every man
<0376> of his acquaintance <4378>: and let them repair <2388>
the breaches <0919> of the house <1004>, wheresoever any <0376>
breach <0919> shall be found <4672>.



6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969> and twentieth
<6242> year <8141> of king <4428> Jehoash < 3060> the priests
<3548> had not repaired <2388> the breaches < 0919> of the house
<1004>.



7 Then king <4428> Jehoash <3060> called <7121> for Jehoiada
<3111> the priest <3548>, and the [other] priests < 3548>, and
said <0559> unto them, Why <4069> repair <2388> ye not the
breaches <0919> of the house <1004>? now <6258> therefore
receive <3947> no <0408> [more] money <3701> of your
acquaintance <4378>, but deliver <5414> it for the breaches
<0919> of the house <1004>.



8 And the priests <3548> consented <0225> to receive <3947> no
<1115> [more] money <3701> of the people <5971>, neither <1115>
to repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house < 1004>.



9 But Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548> took < 3947> a chest
<0727>, and bored <5344> a hole <2356> in the lid <1817> of it,
and set <5414> it beside <0681> the altar <4196> , on the right
<3225> side <3225> as one <0376> cometh < 0935> into the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>: and the priests < 3548> that kept
<8104> the door <5592> put <5414> therein < 8033> all <3605> the
money <3701> [that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>.



10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200> that [there was] much
<7225> money <3701> in the chest <0727>, that the king's <4428>
scribe <5608> and the high <1419> priest <3548> came <5927> up,
and they put <6695> up in bags <6696>, and told < 4487> the money
<3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD
<3068>.



11 And they gave <5414> the money <3701>, being told <8505>,
into <5921> the hands <3027> of them that did < 6213> the work
<4399>, that had the oversight <6485> of the house <1004> of the
LORD <3068>: and they laid <3318> it out to the carpenters
<6086> and builders <1129>, that wrought <6213> upon the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>,



12 And to masons <1443>, and hewers <2672> of stone <68>, and
to buy <7069> timber <6086> and hewed <4274> stone <68> to
repair <2388> the breaches <0919> of the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>, and for all <3605> that was laid < 3318> out for the
house <1004> to repair <2393> [it].



13 Howbeit there were not made <6213> for the house < 1004> of
the LORD <3068> bowls <5592> of silver <3701>, snuffers <4212>,
basons <4219>, trumpets <2689>, any vessels < 3627> of gold
<2091>, or vessels <3627> of silver <3701>, of the money <3701>
[that was] brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD
<3068>:



14 But they gave <5414> that to the workmen, and repaired
<2388> therewith the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068>.



15 Moreover they reckoned <2803> not with the men < 0582>, into
<5921> whose <0834> hand <3027> they delivered <5414> the money
<3701> to be bestowed <5414> on workmen: for they dealt <6213>
faithfully <0530>.



16 The trespass <0817> money <3701> and sin money <3701> was
not brought <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: it
was the priests <3548>'.



17. Then <0227> Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> went
<5927> up, and fought <3898> against <5921> Gath <1661>, and
took <3920> it: and Hazael <2371> set <7760> his face <6440> to
go <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389>.



18 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> took <3947>
all <3605> the hallowed <6944> things that Jehoshaphat <3092>,
and Jehoram <3088>, and Ahaziah <0274>, his fathers <1>, kings
<4428> of Judah <3063>, had dedicated <6942>, and his own
hallowed <6944> things, and all <3605> the gold < 2091> [that
was] found <4672> in the treasures <0214> of the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>, and in the king's <4428> house < 1004>, and sent
<7971> [it] to Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>: and he
went <5927> away from Jerusalem <3389>.



19 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and
all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in
the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>?



20 And his servants <5650> arose <6965>, and made a conspiracy
<7195>, and slew <5221> Joash <3101> in the house <1004> of
Millo <4407>, which goeth <3381> down <3381> to Silla <5538>.



21 For Jozachar <3108> the son <1121> of Shimeath <8100>, and
Jehozabad <3075> the son <1121> of Shomer <7763> , his servants
<5650>, smote <5221> him, and he died <4191>; and they buried
<6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city < 5892> of David
<1732>: and Amaziah <0558> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his
stead <8478>.



2Kings 13



1. In the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year < 8141> of
Joash <3101> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274> king <4428> of
Judah <3063> Jehoahaz <3059> the son <1121> of Jehu <3058> began
to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>,
[and reigned] seventeen <7651> years <8141>.



2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, and followed the sins < 2403> of
Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, which made
Israel <3478> to sin <2398>; he departed <5493> not therefrom.



3 And the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> was kindled <2734>
against Israel <3478>, and he delivered <5414> them into the
hand <3027> of Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758>, and
into the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130> the son < 1121> of Hazael
<2371>, all <3605> [their] days <3117>.



4 And Jehoahaz <3059> besought <2470> the LORD < 3068>, and the
LORD <3068> hearkened <8085> unto him: for he saw < 7200> the
oppression <3906> of Israel <3478>, because < 3588> the king
<4428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <3905> them.



5 (And the LORD <3068> gave <5414> Israel < 3478> a saviour
<3467>, so that they went <3318> out from under < 8478> the hand
<3027> of the Syrians <0758>: and the children < 1121> of Israel
<3478> dwelt <3427> in their tents <0168>, as beforetime <6440>.



6 Nevertheless <0389> they departed <5493> not from the sins
<2403> of the house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379>, who <0834> made
Israel <3478> sin <2398>, [but] walked <1980> therein: and there
remained <5975> the grove <0842> also <1571> in Samaria <8111>.)



7 Neither <3808> did he leave <7604> of the people <5971> to
Jehoahaz <3059> but fifty <2572> horsemen <6571> , and ten <6235>
chariots <7393>, and ten <6235> thousand <0505> footmen <7273>;
for the king <4428> of Syria <0758> had destroyed < 6> them, and
had made <7760> them like the dust <6083> by threshing <1758>.



8 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoahaz <3059>,
and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might < 1369>, [are]
they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles
<1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>?



9 And Jehoahaz <3059> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and
they buried <6912> him in Samaria <8111>: and Joash <3101> his
son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.



10. In the thirty <7970> and seventh <7651> year < 8141> of
Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Jehoash <3060>
the son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> to reign < 4427> over <5921>
Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] sixteen years
<8141>.



11 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>; he departed <5493> not from all
<3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of
Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> sin <2398>: [but] he
walked <1980> therein.



12 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Joash <3101>, and
all <3605> that he did, and his might <1369> wherewith <0834> he
fought <3898> against <5973> Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah
<3063>, [are] they not written <3789> in the book < 5612> of the
chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel < 3478>?



13 And Joash <3101> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and
Jeroboam <3379> sat <3427> upon his throne < 3678>: and Joash
<3101> was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428>
of Israel <3478>.



14 Now Elisha <0477> was fallen sick <2470> of his sickness
<2483> whereof <0834> he died <4191>. And Joash <3101> the king
<4428> of Israel <3478> came <3381> down < 3381> unto him, and
wept <1058> over <5921> his face <6440>, and said <0559>, O my
father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393> of Israel <3478>,
and the horsemen <6571> thereof.



15 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> unto him, Take < 3947> bow
<7198> and arrows <2671>. And he took <3947> unto him bow <7198>
and arrows <2671>.



16 And he said <0559> to the king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Put
<7392> thine hand <3027> upon the bow <7198>. And he put <7760>
his hand <3027> [upon it]: and Elisha <0477> put < 7760> his
hands <3027> upon the king's <4428> hands <3027> .



17 And he said <0559>, Open <6605> the window < 2474> eastward
<6924>. And he opened <6605> [it]. Then Elisha < 0477> said
<0559>, Shoot <3384>. And he shot <3384>. And he said <0559>,
The arrow <2671> of the LORD'S <3068> deliverance < 8668>, and
the arrow <2671> of deliverance <8668> from Syria < 0758>: for
thou shalt smite <5221> the Syrians <0758> in Aphek <0663>, till
<5704> thou have consumed <3615> [them].



18 And he said <0559>, Take <3947> the arrows < 2671>. And he
took <3947> [them]. And he said <0559> unto the king <4428> of
Israel <3478>, Smite <5221> upon the ground < 0776>. And he smote
<5221> thrice, and stayed <5975>.



19 And the man <0376> of God <0430> was wroth < 7107> with him,
and said <0559>, Thou shouldest have smitten <5221> five <2568>
or <0176> six <8337> times <6471>; then < 0227> hadst thou
smitten <5221> Syria <0758> till <5704> thou hadst consumed
<3615> [it]: whereas <6258> now <6258> thou shalt smite <5221>
Syria <0758> [but] thrice.



20. And Elisha <0477> died <4191>, and they buried <6912> him.
And the bands <1416> of the Moabites <4124> invaded <0935> the
land <0776> at the coming <0935> in of the year < 8141>.



21 And it came <1961> to pass, as they were burying < 6912> a
man <0376>, that, behold <2009>, they spied < 7200> a band <1416>
[of men]; and they cast <7993> the man <0376> into the sepulchre
<6913> of Elisha <0477>: and when the man <0376> was let <3212>
down <3212>, and touched <5060> the bones <6106> of Elisha
<0477>, he revived <2421>, and stood <6965> up on <5921> his
feet <7272>.



22 But Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria < 0758> oppressed
<3905> Israel <3478> all <3605> the days < 3117> of Jehoahaz
<3059>.



23 And the LORD <3068> was gracious <2603> unto them, and had
compassion <7355> on them, and had respect <6437> unto them,
because <4616> of his covenant <1285> with Abraham <85>, Isaac
<3327>, and Jacob <3290>, and would <14> not destroy <7843> them,
neither <3808> cast <7993> he them from his presence <6440> as
yet.



24 So Hazael <2371> king <4428> of Syria <0758> died <4191>;
and Benhadad <1130> his son <1121> reigned < 4427> in his stead
<8478>.



25 And Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Jehoahaz < 3059> took
<3947> again <7725> out of the hand <3027> of Benhadad <1130>
the son <1121> of Hazael <2371> the cities < 5892>, which <0834>
he had taken <3947> out of the hand <3027> of Jehoahaz <3059>
his father <1> by war <4421>. Three <7969> times <6471> did
Joash <3101> beat <5221> him, and recovered < 7725> the cities
<5892> of Israel <3478>.



2Kings 14



1. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Joash < 3101> son <1121>
of Jehoahaz <3059> king <4428> of Israel <3478> reigned <4427>
Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of
Judah <3063>.



2 He was twenty <6242> and five <2568> years < 8141> old <1121>
when he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> twenty <6242>
and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389> . And his
mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Jehoaddan < 3086> of Jerusalem
<3389>.



3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, yet <7535> not like David <1732> his
father <1>: he did <6213> according to all < 3605> things as
Joash <3101> his father <1> did <6213>.



4 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not taken < 5493> away
<5493>: as yet <5750> the people <5971> did sacrifice <2076> and
burnt <6999> incense <6999> on the high <1116> places.



5 And it came <1961> to pass, as soon <0834> as the kingdom
<4467> was confirmed <2388> in his hand <3027>, that he slew
<5221> his servants <5650> which <0834> had slain <5221> the
king <4428> his father <1>.



6 But the children <1121> of the murderers <5221> he slew
<4191> not: according unto that which is written < 3789> in the
book <5612> of the law <8451> of Moses <4872>, wherein <0834>
the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, saying <0559>, The fathers <1>
shall not be put <4191> to death <4191> for the children <1121>,
nor <3808> the children <1121> be put <4191> to death <4191> for
the fathers <1>; but every man <0376> shall be put <4191> to
death <4191> for his own sin <2399>.



7 He slew <5221> of Edom <0123> in the valley < 1516> of salt
<4417> ten <6235> thousand <0505>, and took < 8610> Selah <5554>
by war <4421>, and called <7121> the name <8034> of it Joktheel
<3371> unto this <2088> day <3117>.



8. Then <0227> Amaziah <0558> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to
Jehoash <3060>, the son <1121> of Jehoahaz < 3059> son <1121> of
Jehu <3058>, king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Come
<3212>, let us look <7200> one another in the face <6440>.



9 And Jehoash <3060> the king <4428> of Israel < 3478> sent
<7971> to Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying
<0559>, The thistle <2336> that [was] in Lebanon < 3844> sent
<7971> to the cedar <0730> that [was] in Lebanon < 3844>, saying
<0559>, Give <5414> thy daughter <1323> to my son <1121> to wife
<0802>: and there passed <5674> by a wild <7704> beast <2416>
that [was] in Lebanon <3844>, and trode <7429> down the thistle
<2336>.



10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221> Edom <0123>, and thine heart
<3820> hath lifted <5375> thee up: glory <3513> [of this], and
tarry <3427> at home <1004>: for why shouldest thou meddle
<1624> to [thy] hurt <7451>, that thou shouldest fall <5307>,
[even] thou, and Judah <3063> with thee?



11 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <8085>. Therefore Jehoash
<3060> king <4428> of Israel <3478> went < 5927> up; and he and
Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063> looked <7200> one
another in the face <6440> at Bethshemesh <1053>, which <0834>
[belongeth] to Judah <3063>.



12 And Judah <3063> was put to the worse <5062> before <6440>
Israel <3478>; and they fled <5127> every man < 0376> to their
tents <0168>.



13 And Jehoash <3060> king <4428> of Israel < 3478> took <8610>
Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, the son <1121> of
Jehoash <3060> the son <1121> of Ahaziah <0274>, at Bethshemesh
<1053>, and came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>, and brake <6555>
down the wall <2346> of Jerusalem <3389> from the gate <8179> of
Ephraim <0669> unto the corner <6438> gate < 8179>, four <0702>
hundred <3967> cubits <0520>.



14 And he took <3947> all <3605> the gold < 2091> and silver
<3701>, and all <3605> the vessels <3627> that were found <4672>
in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and in the treasures
<0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>, and hostages, and
returned <7725> to Samaria <8111>.



15. Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jehoash <3060>
which <0834> he did <6213>, and his might <1369> , and how <0834>
he fought <3898> with Amaziah <0558> king <4428> of Judah <3063>,
[are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the
chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel < 3478>?



16 And Jehoash <3060> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and
was buried <6912> in Samaria <8111> with the kings <4428> of
Israel <3478>; and Jeroboam <3379> his son < 1121> reigned <4427>
in his stead <8478>.



17 And Amaziah <0558> the son <1121> of Joash < 3101> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> lived <2421> after < 0310> the death
<4194> of Jehoash <3060> son <1121> of Jehoahaz <3059> king
<4428> of Israel <3478> fifteen <6240> years <8141>.



18 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Amaziah <0558>,
[are] they not written <3789> in the book <5612> of the
chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Judah < 3063>?



19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195> against <5921> him in
Jerusalem <3389>: and he fled <5127> to Lachish < 3923>; but they
sent <7971> after <0310> him to Lachish <3923>, and slew <4191>
him there <8033>.



20 And they brought <5375> him on <5921> horses < 5483>: and he
was buried <6912> at Jerusalem <3389> with his fathers <1> in
the city <5892> of David <1732>.



21 And all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah < 3063> took <3947>
Azariah <5838>, which <1931> [was] sixteen years < 8141> old
<1121>, and made him king <4427> instead <8478> of his father
<1> Amaziah <0558>.



22 He built <1129> Elath <0359>, and restored < 7725> it to
Judah <3063>, after <0310> that the king <4428> slept <7901>
with his fathers <1>.



23. In the fifteenth <6240> year <8141> of Amaziah <0558> the
son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Jeroboam
<3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king < 4428> of Israel
<3478> began to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned]
forty <0705> and one <0259> years <8141>.



24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from all
<3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of
Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.



25 He restored <7725> the coast <1366> of Israel < 3478> from
the entering <0935> of Hamath <2574> unto the sea < 3220> of the
plain <6160>, according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>
God <0430> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by the
hand <3027> of his servant <5650> Jonah <3124>, the son <1121>
of Amittai <0573>, the prophet <5030>, which < 0834> [was] of
Gathhepher <1662>.



26 For the LORD <3068> saw <7200> the affliction < 6040> of
Israel <3478>, [that it was] very <3966> bitter < 4784>: for
[there was] not any shut <6113> up, nor <0369> any left <5800>,
nor <0369> any helper <5826> for Israel <3478>.



27 And the LORD <3068> said <1696> not that he would blot
<4229> out the name <8034> of Israel <3478> from under <8478>
heaven <8064>: but he saved <3467> them by the hand <3027> of
Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101>.



28 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jeroboam <3379>,
and all <3605> that he did <6213>, and his might < 1369>, how
<0834> he warred <3898>, and how <0834> he recovered <7725>
Damascus <1834>, and Hamath <2574>, [which belonged] to Judah
<3063>, for Israel <3478>, are they not written < 3789> in the
book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings < 4428> of
Israel <3478>?



29 And Jeroboam <3379> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>,
[even] with the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>; and Zachariah
<2148> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.



2Kings 15



1. In the twenty <6242> and seventh <7651> year < 8141> of
Jeroboam <3379> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began Azariah
<5838> son <1121> of Amaziah <0558> king < 4428> of Judah <3063>
to reign <4427>.



2 Sixteen years <8141> old <1121> was he when he began to reign
<4427>, and he reigned <4427> two <8147> and fifty <2572> years
<8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's < 0517> name <8034>
[was] Jecholiah <3203> of Jerusalem <3389>.



3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all < 3605> that his
father <1> Amaziah <0558> had done <6213>;



4 Save <7535> that the high <1116> places were not removed
<5493>: the people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999>
incense <6999> still <5750> on the high <1116> places.



5 And the LORD <3068> smote <5221> the king < 4428>, so that he
was a leper <6879> unto the day <3117> of his death <4194>, and
dwelt <3427> in a several <2669> house <1004>. And Jotham <3147>
the king's <4428> son <1121> [was] over <5921> the house <1004>,
judging <8199> the people <5971> of the land < 0776>.



6 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Azariah <5838>, and
all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in
the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>?



7 So Azariah <5838> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and they
buried <6912> him with his fathers <1> in the city <5892> of
David <1732>: and Jotham <3147> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in
his stead <8478>.



8. In the thirty <7970> and eighth <8083> year < 8141> of
Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> did Zachariah <2148>
the son <1121> of Jeroboam <3379> reign <4427> over <5921>
Israel <3478> in Samaria <8111> six <8337> months <2320>.



9 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, as his fathers <1> had done <6213>:
he departed <5493> not from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379>
the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to
sin <2398>.



10 And Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh < 3003> conspired
<7194> against <5921> him, and smote <5221> him before <6905>
the people <5971>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in
his stead <8478>.



11 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Zachariah <2148>,
behold <2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book <5612> of
the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.



12 This <1931> [was] the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> which
<0834> he spake <1696> unto Jehu <3058>, saying <0559>, Thy sons
<1121> shall sit <3427> on <5921> the throne <3678> of Israel
<3478> unto the fourth <7243> [generation]. And so <3651> it
came <1961> to pass.



13 Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh < 3003> began to
reign <4427> in the nine <8672> and thirtieth < 7970> year <8141>
of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; and he reigned
<4427> a full <3117> month <3391> in Samaria <8111>.



14 For Menahem <4505> the son <1121> of Gadi < 1424> went <5927>
up from Tirzah <8656>, and came <0935> to Samaria < 8111>, and
smote <5221> Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Jabesh <3003> in
Samaria <8111>, and slew <4191> him, and reigned < 4427> in his
stead <8478>.



15 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Shallum <7967>,
and his conspiracy <7195> which <0834> he made < 7194>, behold
<2009>, they [are] written <3789> in the book < 5612> of the
chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of Israel < 3478>.



16 Then <0227> Menahem <4505> smote <5221> Tiphsah <8607>, and
all <3605> that [were] therein, and the coasts <1366> thereof
from Tirzah <8656>: because <3588> they opened < 6605> not [to
him], therefore he smote <5221> [it; and] all <3605> the women
therein that were with child <2030> he ripped <1234> up.



17 In the nine <8672> and thirtieth <7970> year < 8141> of
Azariah <5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began Menahem <4505>
the son <1121> of Gadi <1424> to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel
<3478>, [and reigned] ten <6235> years <8141> in Samaria <8111>.



18 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not all <3605> his
days <3117> from the sins <2403> of Jeroboam < 3379> the son
<1121> of Nebat <5028>, who <0834> made Israel <3478> to sin
<2398>.



19 [And] Pul <6322> the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804> came
<0935> against <5921> the land <0776>: and Menahem <4505> gave
<5414> Pul <6322> a thousand <0505> talents < 3603> of silver
<3701>, that his hand <3027> might be with him to confirm <2388>
the kingdom <4467> in his hand <3027>.



20 And Menahem <4505> exacted <3318> the money < 3701> of Israel
<3478>, [even] of all <3605> the mighty <1368> men of wealth
<2428>, of each <0259> man <0376> fifty < 2572> shekels <8255> of
silver <3701>, to give <5414> to the king <4428> of Assyria
<0804>. So the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> turned <7725> back
<7725>, and stayed <5975> not there <8033> in the land <0776>.



21 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Menahem <4505>,
and all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789>
in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428>
of Israel <3478>?



22 And Menahem <4505> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>; and
Pekahiah <6494> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead
<8478>.



23 In the fiftieth <2572> year <8141> of Azariah < 5838> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> Pekahiah <6494> the son <1121> of Menahem
<4505> began to reign <4427> over <5921> Israel <3478> in
Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] two <8147> years < 8141>.



24 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins
<2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who
<0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.



25 But Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah < 7425>, a
captain <7991> of his, conspired <7194> against < 5921> him, and
smote <5221> him in Samaria <8111>, in the palace < 0759> of the
king's <4428> house <1004>, with Argob <0709> and Arieh <0745>,
and with him fifty <2572> men <0376> of the Gileadites <1569>:
and he killed <4191> him, and reigned <4427> in his room <8478>.



26 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekahiah <6494>,
and all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009> , they [are]
written <3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of
the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.



27 In the two <8147> and fiftieth <2572> year < 8141> of Azariah
<5838> king <4428> of Judah <3063> Pekah < 6492> the son <1121>
of Remaliah <7425> began to reign <4427> over < 5921> Israel
<3478> in Samaria <8111>, [and reigned] twenty < 6242> years
<8141>.



28 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he departed <5493> not from the sins
<2403> of Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, who
<0834> made Israel <3478> to sin <2398>.



29 In the days <3117> of Pekah <6492> king < 4428> of Israel
<3478> came <0935> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria
<0804>, and took <3947> Ijon <5859>, and Abelbethmaachah <62>,
and Janoah <3239>, and Kedesh <6943>, and Hazor < 2674>, and
Gilead <1568>, and Galilee <1551>, all <3605> the land <0776> of
Naphtali <5321>, and carried <1540> them captive < 1540> to
Assyria <0804>.



30 And Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah < 0425> made a
conspiracy <7195> against <5921> Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of
Remaliah <7425>, and smote <5221> him, and slew < 4191> him, and
reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>, in the twentieth <6242> year
<8141> of Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818>.



31 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Pekah <6492>, and
all <3605> that he did <6213>, behold <2009>, they [are] written
<3789> in the book <5612> of the chronicles < 1697> of the kings
<4428> of Israel <3478>.



32. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Pekah < 6492> the son
<1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel <3478> began
Jotham <3147> the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of
Judah <3063> to reign <4427>.



33 Five <2568> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> was he
when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned <4427> sixteen
years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name
<8034> [was] Jerusha <3388>, the daughter <1323> of Zadok <6659>.



34 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>: he did <6213> according to all <3605>
that his father <1> Uzziah <5818> had done < 6213>.



35 Howbeit the high <1116> places were not removed < 5493>: the
people <5971> sacrificed <2076> and burned < 6999> incense <6999>
still <5750> in the high <1116> places. He built < 1129> the
higher <5945> gate <8179> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



36 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Jotham <3147>, and
all <3605> that he did <6213>, [are] they not written <3789> in
the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>?



37 In those <1992> days <3117> the LORD <3068> began <2490> to
send <7971> against Judah <3063> Rezin <7526> the king <4428> of
Syria <0758>, and Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>.



38 And Jotham <3147> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>, and was
buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city < 5892> of David
<1732> his father <1>: and Ahaz <0271> his son <1121> reigned
<4427> in his stead <8478>.



2Kings 16



1. In the seventeenth <7651> year <8141> of Pekah <6492> the
son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> Ahaz <0271> the son <1121> of
Jotham <3147> king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign <4427>.



2 Twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> [was] Ahaz <0271> when
he began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> sixteen years
<8141> in Jerusalem <3389>, and did <6213> not [that which was]
right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD < 3068> his God
<0430>, like David <1732> his father <1>.



3 But he walked <3212> in the way <1870> of the kings <4428> of
Israel <3478>, yea <1571>, and made his son < 1121> to pass
<5674> through the fire <0784>, according to the abominations
<8441> of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast
<3423> out from before <6440> the children < 1121> of Israel
<3478>.



4 And he sacrificed <2076> and burnt <6999> incense <6999> in
the high <1116> places, and on <5921> the hills < 1389>, and
under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree < 6086>.



5. Then <0227> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758> and
Pekah <6492> son <1121> of Remaliah <7425> king <4428> of Israel
<3478> came <5927> up to Jerusalem <3389> to war <4421>: and
they besieged <6696> Ahaz <0271>, but could < 3201> not overcome
<3898> [him].



6 At that time <6256> Rezin <7526> king <4428> of Syria <0758>
recovered <7725> Elath <0359> to Syria <0758>, and drave <5394>
the Jews <3064> from Elath <0359>: and the Syrians <0758> came
<0935> to Elath <0359>, and dwelt <3427> there <8033> unto this
<2088> day <3117>.



7 So Ahaz <0271> sent <7971> messengers <4397> to
Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria < 0804>, saying
<0559>, I [am] thy servant <5650> and thy son < 1121>: come
<5927> up, and save <3467> me out of the hand < 3709> of the king
<4428> of Syria <0758>, and out of the hand < 3709> of the king
<4428> of Israel <3478>, which rise <6965> up against <5921> me.



8 And Ahaz <0271> took <3947> the silver <3701> and gold <2091>
that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,
and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>,
and sent <7971> [it for] a present <7810> to the king <4428> of
Assyria <0804>.



9 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> hearkened <8085> unto
him: for the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> went < 5927> up
against <0413> Damascus <1834>, and took <8610> it, and carried
<1540> [the people of] it captive <1540> to Kir < 7024>, and slew
<4191> Rezin <7526>.



10. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> went <3212> to Damascus <1834>
to meet <7125> Tiglathpileser <8407> king <4428> of Assyria
<0804>, and saw <7200> an altar <4196> that [was] at Damascus
<1834>: and king <4428> Ahaz <0271> sent < 7971> to Urijah <0223>
the priest <3548> the fashion <1823> of the altar < 4196>, and
the pattern <8403> of it, according to all <3605> the
workmanship <4639> thereof.



11 And Urijah <0223> the priest <3548> built < 1129> an altar
<4196> according to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> had
sent <7971> from Damascus <1834>: so <3651> Urijah <0223> the
priest <3548> made <6213> [it] against <5704> king <4428> Ahaz
<0271> came <0935> from Damascus <1834>.



12 And when the king <4428> was come <0935> from Damascus
<1834>, the king <4428> saw <7200> the altar <4196>: and the
king <4428> approached <7126> to the altar < 4196>, and offered
<5927> thereon <5921>.



13 And he burnt <6999> his burnt <6999> offering and his meat
offering <4503>, and poured <5258> his drink < 5262> offering,
and sprinkled <2236> the blood <1818> of his peace <8002>
offerings, upon the altar <4196>.



14 And he brought <7126> also the brasen <5178> altar <4196>,
which <0834> [was] before <6440> the LORD <3068> , from the
forefront <6440> of the house <1004>, from between <0996> the
altar <4196> and the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068>, and put
<5414> it on <5921> the north <6828> side < 3409> of the altar
<4196>.



15 And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680> Urijah <0223>
the priest <3548>, saying <0559>, Upon the great < 1419> altar
<4196> burn <6999> the morning <1242> burnt < 5930> offering, and
the evening <6153> meat offering <4503>, and the king's <4428>
burnt <5930> sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt
<5930> offering of all <3605> the people <5971> of the land
<0776>, and their meat offering <4503>, and their drink <5262>
offerings; and sprinkle <2236> upon it all <3605> the blood
<1818> of the burnt <5930> offering, and all < 3605> the blood
<1818> of the sacrifice <2077>: and the brasen < 5178> altar
<4196> shall be for me to enquire <1239> [by].



16 Thus did <6213> Urijah <0223> the priest < 3548>, according
to all <3605> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <6680>.



17. And king <4428> Ahaz <0271> cut <7112> off the borders
<4526> of the bases <4350>, and removed <5493> the laver <3595>
from off <5921> them; and took <3381> down < 3381> the sea <3220>
from off <5921> the brasen <5178> oxen <1241> that [were] under
<8478> it, and put <5414> it upon a pavement < 4837> of stones
<68>.



18 And the covert <4329> for the sabbath <7676> that they had
built <1129> in the house <1004>, and the king's < 4428> entry
<3996> without <2435>, turned <5437> he from the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068> for the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804>.



19 Now the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Ahaz <0271> which
<0834> he did <6213>, [are] they not written < 3789> in the book
<5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings < 4428> of Judah
<3063>?



20 And Ahaz <0271> slept <7901> with his fathers < 1>, and was
buried <6912> with his fathers <1> in the city < 5892> of David
<1732>: and Hezekiah <2396> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his
stead <8478>.



2Kings 17



1. In the twelfth year <8141> of Ahaz <0271> king <4428> of
Judah <3063> began Hoshea <1954> the son <1121> of Elah <0425>
to reign <4427> in Samaria <8111> over <5921> Israel <3478> nine
<8672> years <8141>.



2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, but not as the kings < 4428> of Israel
<3478> that were before <6440> him.



3 Against <5921> him came <5927> up Shalmaneser < 8022> king
<4428> of Assyria <0804>; and Hoshea <1954> became <1961> his
servant <5650>, and gave <7725> him presents < 4503>.



4 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> found < 4672> conspiracy
<7195> in Hoshea <1954>: for he had sent <7971> messengers
<4397> to So <5471> king <4428> of Egypt < 4714>, and brought
<5927> no <3808> present <4503> to the king < 4428> of Assyria
<0804>, as [he had done] year <8141> by year < 8141>: therefore
the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> shut <6113> him up, and bound
<0631> him in prison.



5 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> came < 5927> up
throughout all <3605> the land <0776>, and went < 5927> up to
Samaria <8111>, and besieged <6696> it three < 7969> years <8141>.



6 In the ninth <8671> year <8141> of Hoshea < 1954> the king
<4428> of Assyria <0804> took <3920> Samaria <8111>, and carried
<1540> Israel <3478> away <1540> into Assyria <0804>, and placed
<3427> them in Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river
<5104> of Gozan <1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes
<4074>.



7. For [so] it was, that the children <1121> of Israel < 3478>
had sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068> their God <0430>,
which had brought <5927> them up out of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714>, from under <8478> the hand <3027> of Pharaoh <6547> king
<4428> of Egypt <4714>, and had feared <3372> other <0312> gods
<0430>,



8 And walked <3212> in the statutes <2708> of the heathen
<1471>, whom <0834> the LORD <3068> cast < 3423> out from before
<6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and of the kings
<4428> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> they had made <6213>.



9 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did secretly <2644>
[those] things <1697> that [were] not right <3651> against
<5921> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and they built <1129>
them high <1116> places in all <3605> their cities <5892>, from
the tower <4026> of the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013>
city <5892>.



10 And they set <5324> them up images <4676> and groves <0842>
in every <3605> high <1364> hill <1389>, and under <8478> every
<3605> green <7488> tree <6086>:



11 And there <8033> they burnt <6999> incense < 6999> in all
<3605> the high <1116> places, as [did] the heathen <1471> whom
<0834> the LORD <3068> carried <1540> away < 1540> before <6440>
them; and wrought <6213> wicked <7451> things < 1697> to provoke
the LORD <3068> to anger <3707>:



12 For they served <5647> idols <1544>, whereof < 0834> the LORD
<3068> had said <0559> unto them, Ye shall not do < 6213> this
<2088> thing <1697>.



13 Yet the LORD <3068> testified <5749> against Israel <3478>,
and against Judah <3063>, by all <3605> the prophets <5030>,
[and by] all <3605> the seers <2374>, saying < 0559>, Turn <7725>
ye from your evil <7451> ways <1870>, and keep < 8104> my
commandments <4687> [and] my statutes <2708>, according to all
<3605> the law <8451> which <0834> I commanded <6680> your
fathers <1>, and which <0834> I sent <7971> to you by my
servants <5650> the prophets <5030>.



14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085>, but hardened
<7185> their necks <6203>, like to the neck < 6203> of their
fathers <1>, that did not believe <0539> in the LORD <3068>
their God <0430>.



15 And they rejected <3988> his statutes <2706>, and his
covenant <1285> that he made <3772> with their fathers <1>, and
his testimonies <5715> which <0834> he testified < 5749> against
them; and they followed vanity <1892>, and became < 1891> vain
<1891>, and went <3212> after <0310> the heathen <1471> that
[were] round <5439> about them, [concerning] whom < 0834> the
LORD <3068> had charged <6680> them, that they should not do
<6213> like them.



16 And they left <5800> all <3605> the commandments <4687> of
the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and made < 6213> them molten
<4541> images, [even] two <8147> calves <5695>, and made <6213>
a grove <0842>, and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635>
of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> Baal <1168>.



17 And they caused their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121>
to pass <5674> through the fire <0784>, and used divination
<7081> and enchantments <5172>, and sold <4376> themselves to do
<6213> evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, to
provoke him to anger <3707>.



18 Therefore the LORD <3068> was very <3966> angry <0599> with
Israel <3478>, and removed <5493> them out of his sight <6440>:
there was none <3808> left <7604> but the tribe < 7626> of Judah
<3063> only <0905>.



19 Also <1571> Judah <3063> kept <8104> not the commandments
<4687> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, but walked <3212> in
the statutes <2708> of Israel <3478> which < 0834> they made
<6213>.



20 And the LORD <3068> rejected <3988> all < 3605> the seed
<2233> of Israel <3478>, and afflicted <6031> them, and
delivered <5414> them into the hand <3027> of spoilers <8154>,
until <5704> he had cast <7993> them out of his sight <6440>.



21 For he rent <7167> Israel <3478> from the house <1004> of
David <1732>; and they made Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of
Nebat <5028> king <4427>: and Jeroboam <3379> drave <5071>
Israel <3478> from following <0310> the LORD < 3068>, and made
them sin <2398> a great <1419> sin <2401>.



22 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> walked <3212> in
all <3605> the sins <2403> of Jeroboam <3379> which <0834> he
did <6213>; they departed <5493> not from them;



23 Until <5704> the LORD <3068> removed <5493> Israel <3478>
out of his sight <6440>, as he had said <1696> by all <3605> his
servants <5650> the prophets <5030>. So was Israel <3478>
carried <1540> away <1540> out of their own land < 0127> to
Assyria <0804> unto this <2088> day <3117>.



24. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> brought <0935> [men]
from Babylon <0894>, and from Cuthah <3575>, and from Ava <5755>,
and from Hamath <2574>, and from Sepharvaim <5617>, and placed
<3427> [them] in the cities <5892> of Samaria < 8111> instead
<8478> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and they
possessed <3423> Samaria <8111>, and dwelt < 3427> in the cities
<5892> thereof.



25 And [so] it was at the beginning <8462> of their dwelling
<3427> there <8033>, [that] they feared <3372> not the LORD
<3068>: therefore the LORD <3068> sent <7971> lions <0738> among
them, which slew <2026> [some] of them.



26 Wherefore they spake <0559> to the king <4428> of Assyria
<0804>, saying <0559>, The nations <1471> which <0834> thou hast
removed <1540>, and placed <3427> in the cities < 5892> of
Samaria <8111>, know <3045> not the manner < 4941> of the God
<0430> of the land <0776>: therefore he hath sent < 7971> lions
<0738> among them, and, behold <2009>, they slay < 4191> them,
because <0834> they know <3045> not the manner < 4941> of the God
<0430> of the land <0776>.



27 Then the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> commanded <6680>,
saying <0559>, Carry <1980> thither <8033> one <0259> of the
priests <3548> whom <0834> ye brought <1540> from thence <8033>;
and let them go <3212> and dwell <3427> there < 8033>, and let
him teach <3384> them the manner <4941> of the God <0430> of the
land <0776>.



28 Then one <0259> of the priests <3548> whom < 0834> they had
carried <1540> away <1540> from Samaria <8111> came <0935> and
dwelt <3427> in Bethel <1008>, and taught <3384> them how <0349>
they should fear <3372> the LORD <3068>.



29 Howbeit every nation <1471> made <6213> gods < 0430> of their
own, and put <3240> [them] in the houses <1004> of the high
<1116> places which <0834> the Samaritans <8118> had made <6213>,
every nation <1471> in their cities <5892> wherein they dwelt
<3427>.



30 And the men <0582> of Babylon <0894> made < 6213>
Succothbenoth <5524>, and the men <0582> of Cuth < 3575> made
<6213> Nergal <5370>, and the men <0582> of Hamath <2574> made
<6213> Ashima <0807>,



31 And the Avites <5757> made <6213> Nibhaz < 5026> and Tartak
<8662>, and the Sepharvites <5616> burnt <8313> their children
<1121> in fire <0784> to Adrammelech <0152> and Anammelech
<6048>, the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim <5617>.



32 So they feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and made <6213> unto
themselves of the lowest <7098> of them priests <3548> of the
high <1116> places, which <1961> sacrificed < 6213> for them in
the houses <1004> of the high <1116> places.



33 They feared <3373> the LORD <3068>, and served <5647> their
own gods <0430>, after the manner <4941> of the nations <1471>
whom <0834> they carried <1540> away <1540> from thence <8033>.



34 Unto this <2088> day <3117> they do <6213> after the former
<7223> manners <4941>: they fear <3373> not the LORD <3068>,
neither <0369> do <6213> they after their statutes <2708>, or
after their ordinances <4941>, or after <0310> the law <8451>
and commandment <4687> which <0834> the LORD < 3068> commanded
<6680> the children <1121> of Jacob <3290>, whom <0834> he named
<8034> Israel <3478>;



35 With whom the LORD <3068> had made <3772> a covenant <1285>,
and charged <6680> them, saying <0559>, Ye shall not fear <3372>
other <0312> gods <0430>, nor <3808> bow < 7812> yourselves to
them, nor <3808> serve <5647> them, nor <3808> sacrifice <2076>
to them:



36 But the LORD <3068>, who <0834> brought < 5927> you up out of
the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> with great < 1419> power <3581>
and a stretched <5186> out arm <2220>, him shall ye fear <3372>,
and him shall ye worship <7812>, and to him shall ye do
sacrifice <2076>.



37 And the statutes <2706>, and the ordinances <4941> , and the
law <8451>, and the commandment <4687>, which < 0834> he wrote
<3789> for you, ye shall observe <8104> to do < 6213> for
evermore; and ye shall not fear <3372> other <0312> gods <0430>.



38 And the covenant <1285> that I have made <3772> with you ye
shall not forget <7911>; neither <3808> shall ye fear <3372>
other <0312> gods <0430>.



39 But the LORD <3068> your God <0430> ye shall fear <3372>;
and he shall deliver <5337> you out of the hand <3027> of all
<3605> your enemies <0341>.



40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085>, but they did < 6213>
after their former <7223> manner <4941>.



41 So these <0428> nations <1471> feared <3373> the LORD <3068>,
and served <5647> their graven <6456> images, both <1571> their
children <1121>, and their children's <1121> children <1121>: as
did <6213> their fathers <1>, so do <6213> they unto this <2088>
day <3117>.



2Kings 18



1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the third <7969> year <8141>
of Hoshea <1954> son <1121> of Elah <0425> king <4428> of Israel
<3478>, [that] Hezekiah <2396> the son <1121> of Ahaz <0271>
king <4428> of Judah <3063> began to reign < 4427>.



2 Twenty <6242> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121> was he
when he began to reign <4427>; and he reigned <4427> twenty
<6242> and nine <8672> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. His
mother's <0517> name <8034> also [was] Abi <21>, the daughter
<1323> of Zachariah <2148>.



3 And he did <6213> [that which was] right <3477> in the sight
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all < 3605> that David
<1732> his father <1> did <6213>.



4 He removed <5493> the high <1116> places, and brake <7665>
the images <4676>, and cut <3772> down the groves < 0842>, and
brake <3807> in pieces the brasen <5178> serpent < 5175> that
Moses <4872> had made <6213>: for unto those < 1992> days <3117>
the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did burn < 6999> incense
<6999> to it: and he called <7121> it Nehushtan < 5180>.



5 He trusted <0982> in the LORD <3068> God < 0430> of Israel
<3478>; so that after <0310> him was none <3808> like <3644> him
among all <3605> the kings <4428> of Judah < 3063>, nor [any]
that were before <6440> him.



6 For he clave <1692> to the LORD <3068>, [and] departed <5493>
not from following <0310> him, but kept <8104> his commandments
<4687>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses
<4872>.



7 And the LORD <3068> was with him; [and] he prospered < 7919>
whithersoever he went <3318> forth <3318>: and he rebelled
<4775> against the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> , and served
<5647> him not.



8 He smote <5221> the Philistines <6430>, [even] unto Gaza
<5804>, and the borders <1366> thereof, from the tower <4026> of
the watchmen <5341> to the fenced <4013> city < 5892>.



9. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <7243> year <8141>
of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, which <1958> [was] the seventh
<7651> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954> son < 1121> of Elah <0425>
king <4428> of Israel <3478>, [that] Shalmaneser < 8022> king
<4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5957> up against <5921> Samaria
<8111>, and besieged <6696> it.



10 And at the end <7097> of three <7969> years < 8141> they took
<3920> it: [even] in the sixth <8337> year < 8141> of Hezekiah
<2396>, that [is] the ninth <8672> year <8141> of Hoshea <1954>
king <4428> of Israel <3478>, Samaria <8111> was taken <3920>.



11 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> did carry <1540> away
<1540> Israel <3478> unto Assyria <0804>, and put <5148> them in
Halah <2477> and in Habor <2249> [by] the river < 5104> of Gozan
<1470>, and in the cities <5892> of the Medes < 4074>:



12 Because they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD
<3068> their God <0430>, but transgressed <5674> his covenant
<1285>, [and] all <3605> that Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of
the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>, and would not hear <8085>
[them], nor <3808> do <6213> [them].



13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141> of king <4428> Hezekiah
<2396> did Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> come
<5927> up against <5921> all <3605> the fenced <1219> cities
<5892> of Judah <3063>, and took <8610> them.



14 And Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> sent <7971>
to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> to Lachish < 3923>, saying
<0559>, I have offended <2398>; return <7725> from me: that
which <0834> thou puttest <5414> on <5921> me will I bear <5375>.
And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> appointed < 7760> unto
Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> three <7969> hundred
<3967> talents <3603> of silver <3701> and thirty <7970> talents
<3603> of gold <2091>.



15 And Hezekiah <2396> gave <5414> [him] all < 3605> the silver
<3701> that was found <4672> in the house <1004> of the LORD
<3068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's < 4428> house
<1004>.



16 At that time <6256> did Hezekiah <2396> cut < 7112> off [the
gold from] the doors <1817> of the temple <1964> of the LORD
<3068>, and [from] the pillars <0547> which < 0834> Hezekiah
<2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had overlaid <6823>, and gave
<5414> it to the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.



17. And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> sent < 7971> Tartan
<8661> and Rabsaris <7249> and Rabshakeh <7262> from Lachish
<3923> to king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> with a great <3515> host
<2426> against Jerusalem <3389>. And they went < 5927> up and
came <0935> to Jerusalem <3389>. And when they were come <5927>
up, they came <0935> and stood <5975> by the conduit <8585> of
the upper <5945> pool <1295>, which <0834> [is] in the highway
<4546> of the fuller's <3526> field <7704>.



18 And when they had called <7121> to the king <4428> , there
came <3318> out to them Eliakim <0471> the son < 1121> of Hilkiah
<2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and
Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121>
of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>.



19 And Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Speak <0559> ye
now <4994> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
great <1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>,
What <4100> confidence <0986> [is] this <2088> wherein <0834>
thou trustest <0982>?



20 Thou sayest <0559>, (but [they are but] vain < 8193> words
<1697>,) [I have] counsel <6098> and strength < 1369> for the war
<4421>. Now <6258> on <5921> whom <4310> dost thou trust <0982>,
that thou rebellest <4775> against me?



21 Now <6258>, behold <2009>, thou trustest < 0982> upon the
staff <4938> of this <2088> bruised <7533> reed <7070>, [even]
upon Egypt <4714>, on <5921> which <0834> if <0834> a man <0376>
lean <5564>, it will go <0935> into his hand < 3709>, and pierce
<5344> it: so <3651> [is] Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt
<4714> unto all <3605> that trust <0982> on < 5921> him.



22 But if <3588> ye say <0559> unto me, We trust < 0982> in the
LORD <3068> our God <0430>: [is] not that he, whose high <1116>
places and whose altars <4196> Hezekiah <2396> hath taken <5493>
away <5493>, and hath said <0559> to Judah < 3063> and Jerusalem
<3389>, Ye shall worship <7812> before <6440> this <2088> altar
<4196> in Jerusalem <3389>?



23 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> thee, give pledges
<6148> to my lord <0113> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and
I will deliver <5414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <5483>, if
<0518> thou be able <3201> on thy part to set < 5414> riders
<7392> upon them.



24 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <7725> away the face <6440>
of one <0259> captain <6346> of the least <6996> of my master's
<0113> servants <5650>, and put thy trust <0982> on <5921> Egypt
<4714> for chariots <7393> and for horsemen < 6571>?



25 Am I now <6258> come <5927> up without < 1107> the LORD
<3068> against <5921> this <2088> place < 4725> to destroy <7843>
it? The LORD <3068> said <0559> to me, Go <5927> up against
<5921> this <2063> land <0776>, and destroy < 7843> it.



26 Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> the son < 1121> of Hilkiah
<2518>, and Shebna <7644>, and Joah <3098>, unto Rabshakeh
<7262>, Speak <1696>, I pray <4994> thee, to thy servants <5650>
in the Syrian <0762> language; for we understand < 8085> [it]:
and talk <1696> not with us in the Jews <3066>' language in the
ears <0241> of the people <5971> that [are] on < 5921> the wall
<2346>.



27 But Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Hath my master
<0113> sent <7971> me to thy master <0113>, and to thee, to
speak <1696> these <0428> words <1697>? [hath he] not [sent me]
to the men <0582> which sit <3427> on <5921> the wall <2346>,
that they may eat <0398> their own dung, and drink < 8354> their
own piss <7890> with you?



28 Then Rabshakeh <7262> stood <5975> and cried < 7121> with a
loud <1419> voice <6963> in the Jews <3066>' language, and spake
<1696>, saying <0559>, Hear <8085> the word < 1697> of the great
<1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:



29 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, Let not Hezekiah
<2396> deceive <5377> you: for he shall not be able <3201> to
deliver <5337> you out of his hand <3027>:



30 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <2396> make you trust <0982> in
the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will surely
deliver <5337> us, and this <2063> city <5892> shall not be
delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king < 4428> of
Assyria <0804>.



31 Hearken <8085> not to Hezekiah <2396>: for thus <3541> saith
<0559> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <6213> [an
agreement] with me by a present <1293>, and come < 3318> out to
me, and [then] eat <0398> ye every man <0376> of his own vine
<1612>, and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <8384> tree, and
drink <8354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <4325> of his
cistern <0953>:



32 Until <5704> I come <0935> and take <3947> you away to a
land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land < 0776> of corn
<1715> and wine <8492>, a land <0776> of bread <3899> and
vineyards <3754>, a land <0776> of oil <3323> olive <2132> and
of honey <1706>, that ye may live <2421>, and not die <4191>:
and hearken <8085> not unto Hezekiah <2396>, when < 3588> he
persuadeth <5496> you, saying <0559>, The LORD < 3068> will
deliver <5337> us.



33 Hath any <0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <1471>
delivered <5337> at all his land <0776> out of the hand <3027>
of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>?



34 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath < 2574>, and of
Arpad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim
<5617>, Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>? have they delivered <5337>
Samaria <8111> out of mine hand <3027>?



35 Who <4310> [are] they among all <3605> the gods <0430> of
the countries <0776>, that have delivered <5337> their country
<0776> out of mine hand <3027>, that the LORD < 3068> should
deliver <5337> Jerusalem <3389> out of mine hand < 3027>?



36 But the people <5971> held <2790> their peace < 2790>, and
answered <6030> him not a word <1697>: for the king's <4428>
commandment <4687> was, saying <0559>, Answer < 6030> him not.



37 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471> the son < 1121> of Hilkiah
<2518>, which <0834> [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and
Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098> the son <1121>
of Asaph <0623> the recorder <2142>, to Hezekiah < 2396> with
[their] clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and told < 5046> him the
words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>.



2Kings 19



1. And it came <1961> to pass, when king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>
heard <8085> [it], that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and
covered <3680> himself with sackcloth <8242>, and went <0935>
into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



2 And he sent <7971> Eliakim <0471>, which < 0834> [was] over
<5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>,
and the elders <2205> of the priests <3548>, covered <3680>
with sackcloth <8242>, to Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> the
son <1121> of Amoz <0531>.



3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559>
Hezekiah <2396>, This <2088> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of
trouble <6869>, and of rebuke <8433>, and blasphemy <5007>: for
the children <1121> are come <0935> to the birth < 4866>, and
[there is] not strength <3581> to bring <3205> forth <3205>.



4 It may <0194> be the LORD <3068> thy God < 0430> will hear
<8085> all <3605> the words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>, whom
<0834> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath
sent <7971> to reproach <2778> the living <2416> God <0430>; and
will reprove <3198> the words <1697> which < 0834> the LORD
<3068> thy God <0430> hath heard <8085>: wherefore lift <5375>
up [thy] prayer <8605> for the remnant <7611> that are left
<4672>.



5 So the servants <5650> of king <4428> Hezekiah < 2396> came
<0935> to Isaiah <3470>.



6 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto them, Thus < 3541> shall ye
say <0559> to your master <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, Be not afraid <3372> of the words < 1697> which
<0834> thou hast heard <8085>, with which <0834> the servants
<5288> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed
<1442> me.



7 Behold <2005>, I will send <5414> a blast < 7307> upon him,
and he shall hear <8085> a rumour <8052>, and shall return
<7725> to his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall
<5307> by the sword <2719> in his own land < 0776>.



8. So Rabshakeh <7262> returned <7725>, and found <4672> the
king <4428> of Assyria <0804> warring <3898> against <5921>
Libnah <3841>: for he had heard <8085> that he was departed
<5265> from Lachish <3923>.



9 And when he heard <8085> say <0559> of Tirhakah <8640> king
<4428> of Ethiopia <3568>, Behold <2009>, he is come <3318> out
to fight <3898> against thee: he sent <7971> messengers <4397>
again <7725> unto Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559> ,



10 Thus <3541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah < 2396> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430> in
whom <0834> thou trustest <0982> deceive <5377> thee, saying
<0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall not be delivered < 5414> into the
hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> .



11 Behold <2009>, thou hast heard <8085> what the kings <4428>
of Assyria <0804> have done <6213> to all <3605> lands <0776>,
by destroying <2763> them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered
<5337>?



12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>
them which <0834> my fathers <1> have destroyed < 0843>; [as]
Gozan <1470>, and Haran <2771>, and Rezeph < 7530>, and the
children <1121> of Eden <5731> which <0834> [were] in Thelasar
<8515>?



13 Where <0346> [is] the king <4428> of Hamath < 2574>, and the
king <4428> of Arpad <0774>, and the king <4428> of the city
<5892> of Sepharvaim <5617>, of Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>?



14 And Hezekiah <2396> received <3947> the letter <5612> of the
hand <3027> of the messengers <4397>, and read < 7121> it: and
Hezekiah <2396> went <5927> up into the house < 1004> of the LORD
<3068>, and spread <6566> it before <6440> the LORD <3068>.



15 And Hezekiah <2396> prayed <6419> before < 6440> the LORD
<3068>, and said <0559>, O LORD <3068> God < 0430> of Israel
<3478>, which dwellest <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>,
thou art the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all <3605>
the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>; thou hast made <6213>
heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.



16 LORD <3068>, bow <5186> down <5186> thine ear <0241>, and
hear <8085>: open <6491>, LORD <3068>, thine eyes <5869>, and
see <7200>: and hear <8085> the words <1697> of Sennacherib
<5576>, which <0834> hath sent <7971> him to reproach <2778> the
living <2416> God <0430>.



17 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <3068>, the kings < 4428> of Assyria
<0804> have destroyed <2717> the nations <1471> and their lands
<0776>,



18 And have cast <5414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>:
for they [were] no <3808> gods <0430>, but the work <4639> of
men's <0120> hands <3027>, wood <6086> and stone <68>: therefore
they have destroyed <6> them.



19 Now <6258> therefore, O LORD <3068> our God < 0430>, I
beseech <4994> thee, save <3467> thou us out of his hand <3027>,
that all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth < 0776> may know
<3045> that thou [art] the LORD <3068> God < 0430>, [even] thou
only <0905>.



20. Then Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz < 0531> sent
<7971> to Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel < 3478>, [That] which
<0834> thou hast prayed <6419> to me against < 0413> Sennacherib
<5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> I have heard <8085>.



21 This <2088> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath
spoken <1696> concerning <5921> him; The virgin < 1330> the
daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> hath despised < 0959> thee, [and]
laughed <3932> thee to scorn; the daughter <1323> of Jerusalem
<3389> hath shaken <5128> her head <7218> at thee.



22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778> and blasphemed < 1442>? and
against <5921> whom <4310> hast thou exalted < 7311> [thy] voice
<6963>, and lifted <5375> up thine eyes <5869> on high <4791>?
[even] against <5921> the Holy <6918> [One] of Israel <3478>.



23 By thy messengers <4397> thou hast reproached < 2778> the
Lord <3068>, and hast said <0559>, With the multitude <7393> of
my chariots <7393> I am come <5927> up to the height <4791> of
the mountains <2022>, to the sides <3411> of Lebanon <3844>, and
will cut <3772> down the tall <6967> cedar < 0730> trees thereof,
[and] the choice <4005> fir <1265> trees thereof: and I will
enter <0935> into the lodgings <4411> of his borders <7093>,
[and into] the forest <3293> of his Carmel <3760>.



24 I have digged <5365> and drunk <8354> strange < 2114> waters
<4325>, and with the sole <3709> of my feet < 6471> have I dried
<2717> up all <3605> the rivers <2975> of besieged <4693> places.



25 Hast thou not heard <8085> long <7350> ago < 7350> [how] I
have done <6213> it, [and] of ancient <6924> times <3117> that I
have formed <3335> it? now <6258> have I brought < 0935> it to
pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582> fenced < 1219>
cities <5892> [into] ruinous <5327> heaps <1530> .



26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427> were of small < 7116>
power <3027>, they were dismayed <2865> and confounded <0954>;
they were [as] the grass <6212> of the field <7704>, and [as]
the green <3410> herb <1877>, [as] the grass < 2682> on the
housetops <1406>, and [as corn] blasted <7711> before <6440> it
be grown <6965> up.



27 But I know <3045> thy abode <3427>, and thy going <3318> out,
and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <7264> against <0413> me.



28 Because <3282> thy rage <7264> against < 0413> me and thy
tumult <7600> is come <5927> up into mine ears < 0241>, therefore
I will put <7760> my hook <2397> in thy nose < 0639>, and my
bridle <4964> in thy lips <8193>, and I will turn < 7725> thee
back <7725> by the way <1870> by which <0834> thou camest <0935>.



29 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye shall
eat <0398> this year <8141> such things as grow < 5599> of
themselves, and in the second <8145> year <8141> that which
springeth <7823> of the same; and in the third <7992> year
<8141> sow <2232> ye, and reap <7114>, and plant <5193>
vineyards <3754>, and eat <0398> the fruits < 6529> thereof.



30 And the remnant <7604> that is escaped <6413> of the house
<1004> of Judah <3063> shall yet again <3254> take <3947> root
<8328> downward <4295>, and bear <6213> fruit <6529> upward
<4605>.



31 For out of Jerusalem <3389> shall go <3318> forth <3318> a
remnant <7611>, and they that escape <6413> out of mount <2022>
Zion <6726>: the zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> [of hosts] shall
do <6213> this <2063>.



32 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
concerning <0413> the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804>, He shall
not come <0935> into <0413> this city <5892>, nor <3808> shoot
<3384> an arrow <2671> there <8033>, nor < 3808> come <6923>
before <6924> it with shield <4043>, nor cast < 8210> a bank
<5550> against <5921> it.



33 By the way <1870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he
return <7725>, and shall not come <0935> into < 0413> this <2063>
city <5892>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



34 For I will defend <1598> this <2063> city < 5892>, to save
<3467> it, for mine own sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650>
David's <1732> sake <4616>.



35. And it came <1961> to pass that night <3915>, that the
angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> went <3318> out, and smote
<5221> in the camp <4264> of the Assyrians < 0804> an hundred
<3967> fourscore <8084> and five <2568> thousand <0505>: and
when they arose <7925> early <7925> in the morning <1242>,
behold <2009>, they [were] all <3605> dead < 4191> corpses <6297>.



36 So Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria < 0804> departed
<5265>, and went <3212> and returned <7725>, and dwelt <3427> at
Nineveh <5210>.



37 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was worshipping < 7812> in
the house <1004> of Nisroch <5268> his god < 0430>, that
Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <8272> his sons < 1121> smote
<5221> him with the sword <2719>: and they escaped <4422> into
the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>. And Esarhaddon < 0634> his son
<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.



2Kings 20



1. In those <1992> days <3117> was Hezekiah < 2396> sick <2470>
unto death <4191>. And the prophet <5030> Isaiah < 3470> the son
<1121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> to him, and said <0559> unto
him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Set thine house
<1004> in order <6680>; for thou shalt die < 4191>, and not live
<2421>.



2 Then he turned <5437> his face <6440> to the wall <7023>, and
prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, saying < 0559>,



3 I beseech <0577> thee, O LORD <3068>, remember < 2142> now
<4994> how <0834> I have walked <1980> before <6440> thee in
truth <0571> and with a perfect <8003> heart < 3824>, and have
done <6213> [that which is] good <2896> in thy sight <5869>. And
Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058> sore <1419>.



4 And it came <1961> to pass, afore <3808> Isaiah <3470> was
gone <3318> out into the middle <8484> court < 5892>, that the
word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to him, saying <0559>,



5 Turn <7725> again <7725>, and tell <0559> Hezekiah <2396> the
captain <5057> of my people <5971>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of David <1732> thy father <1>, I
have heard <8085> thy prayer <8605>, I have seen < 7200> thy
tears <1832>: behold <2005>, I will heal <7495> thee: on the
third <7992> day <3117> thou shalt go <5927> up unto the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>.



6 And I will add <3254> unto thy days <3117> fifteen <6240>
years <8141>; and I will deliver <5337> thee and this <2063>
city <5892> out of the hand <3709> of the king < 4428> of Assyria
<0804>; and I will defend <1598> this city < 5892> for mine own
sake <4616>, and for my servant <5650> David's < 1732> sake
<4616>.



7 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, Take <3947> a lump <1690> of
figs <8384>. And they took <3947> and laid < 7760> [it] on <5921>
the boil <7822>, and he recovered <2421>.



8 And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559> unto Isaiah < 3470>, What
<4100> [shall be] the sign <0226> that the LORD < 3068> will heal
<7495> me, and that I shall go <5927> up into the house <1004>
of the LORD <3068> the third <7992> day <3117>?



9 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559>, This <2088> sign <0226> shalt
thou have of the LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do
<6213> the thing that he hath spoken <1696>: shall the shadow
<6738> go <1980> forward ten <6235> degrees < 4609>, or go <7725>
back <7725> ten <6235> degrees <4609>?



10 And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, It is a light <7043>
thing for the shadow <6738> to go <5186> down < 5186> ten <6235>
degrees <4609>: nay <3808>, but let the shadow < 6738> return
<7725> backward <0322> ten <6235> degrees < 4609>.



11 And Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> cried < 7121> unto the
LORD <3068>: and he brought <7725> the shadow < 6738> ten <6235>
degrees <4609> backward <0322>, by which <0834> it had gone
<3381> down <3381> in the dial <4609> of Ahaz <0271>.



12. At that time <6256> Berodachbaladan <1255>, the son <1121>
of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <0894> , sent <7971>
letters <5612> and a present <4503> unto Hezekiah < 2396>: for he
had heard <8085> that Hezekiah <2396> had been < 1961> sick
<2470>.



13 And Hezekiah <2396> hearkened <8085> unto them, and shewed
<7200> them all <3605> the house <1004> of his precious <5238>
things, the silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices
<1314>, and the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and [all
<3605>] the house <1004> of his armour <3627>, and all <3605>
that was found <4672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing
in his house <1004>, nor in all <3605> his dominion <4475>, that
Hezekiah <2396> shewed <7200> them not.



14 Then came <0935> Isaiah <3470> the prophet < 5030> unto king
<4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <4100>
said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came
<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said < 0559>, They are
come <0935> from a far <7350> country <0776>, [even] from
Babylon <0894>.



15 And he said <0559>, What <4100> have they seen <7200> in
thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered < 0559>, All
<3605> [the things] that [are] in mine house <1004> have they
seen <7200>: there is nothing <1697> among my treasures <0214>
that I have not shewed <7200> them.



16 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto Hezekiah < 2396>, Hear
<8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.



17 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that all <3605>
that [is] in thine house <1004>, and that which <0834> thy
fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686> unto this <2088> day
<3117>, shall be carried <5375> into Babylon < 0894>: nothing
shall be left <3498>, saith <0559> the LORD < 3068>.



18 And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318> from thee,
which <0834> thou shalt beget <3205>, shall they take <3947>
away; and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace < 1964> of
the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.



19 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <2396> unto Isaiah < 3470>, Good
<2896> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> thou
hast spoken <1696>. And he said <0559>, [Is it] not [good], if
<0518> peace <7965> and truth <0571> be in my days <3117>?



20 And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Hezekiah <2396>,
and all <3605> his might <1369>, and how <0834> he made <6213> a
pool <1295>, and a conduit <8585>, and brought < 0935> water
<4325> into the city <5892>, [are] they not written <3789> in
the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>?



21 And Hezekiah <2396> slept <7901> with his fathers <1>: and
Manasseh <4519> his son <1121> reigned <4427> in his stead
<8478>.



2Kings 21



1. Manasseh <4519> [was] twelve years <8141> old < 1121> when he
began to reign <4427>, and reigned <4427> fifty < 2572> and five
<2568> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517>
name <8034> [was] Hephzibah <2657>.



2 And he did <6213> [that which <0834> was] evil < 7451> in the
sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, after the abominations <8441>
of the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> the LORD < 3068> cast <3423>
out before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel < 3478>.



3 For he built <1129> up again <7725> the high < 1116> places
which <0834> Hezekiah <2396> his father <1> had destroyed <6>;
and he reared <6965> up altars <4196> for Baal < 1168>, and made
<6213> a grove <0842>, as did <6213> Ahab < 0256> king <4428> of
Israel <3478>; and worshipped <7812> all <3605> the host <6635>
of heaven <8064>, and served <5647> them.



4 And he built <1129> altars <4196> in the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>, of which <0834> the LORD <3068> said <0559>, In
Jerusalem <3389> will I put <7760> my name < 8034>.



5 And he built <1129> altars <4196> for all < 3605> the host
<6635> of heaven <8064> in the two <8147> courts <2691
