1Kings 1





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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



30 Even <3588 kiy > as I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee by the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Assuredly < 3588 kiy > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign < 4427 malak >
after <0310 >achar > me, and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my
throne <3678 kicce> > in my stead <8478 tachath >; even <3588
kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 < asah > this
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



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



32. And king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > said <0559 >amar
>, Call <7121 qara> > me Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548
kohen >, and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >,
and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada
<3111 Yowyada< >. And they came <0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym
> the king <4428 melek >.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



40 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5927 <alah
> up after <0310 >achar > him, and the people < 5971 <am > piped
<2490 chalal > with pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and rejoiced <8056
sameach > with great <1419 gadowl > joy <8057 simchah >, so that
the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< > with the sound <6963
qowl > of them.



41. And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > and all <3605 kol > the
guests <7121 qara> > that [were] with him heard <8085 shama< >
[it] as they had made an end <3615 kalah > of eating < 0398 >akal
>. And when Joab <3097 Yow>ab > heard <8085 shama< > the sound
<6963 qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar >, he said <0559
>amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > [is this] noise <6963 qowl >
of the city <7151 qiryah > being in an uproar <1993 hamah >?



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



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



44 And the king <4428 melek > hath sent <7971 shalach > with
him Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen >, and Nathan
<5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and Benaiah <1141
B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< >, and
the Cherethites <3774 K@rethiy >, and the Pelethites < 6432
P@lethiy >, and they have caused him to ride <7392 rakab > upon
the king's <4428 melek > mule <6506 pirdah >:



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



46 And also <1571 gam > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sitteth <3427
yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the kingdom
<4410 m@luwkah >.



47 And moreover <1571 gam > the king's <4428 melek > servants
<5650 <ebed > came <0935 bow> > to bless < 1288 barak > our lord
<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David >, saying
<0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > make the name <8034 shem >
of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > better <3190 yatab > than thy name
<8034 shem >, and make his throne <3678 kicce> > greater than
thy throne <3678 kicce> >. And the king <4428 melek > bowed
<7812 shachah > himself upon the bed <4904 mishkab >.



48 And also <1571 gam > thus <3602 kakah > said < 0559 >amar >
the king <4428 melek >, Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el >,
which <0834 >aher > hath given <5414 nathan > [one] to sit <3427
yashab > on <5921 <al > my throne <3678 kicce> > this day <3117
yowm >, mine eyes <5869 <ayin > even seeing <7200 ra>ah > [it].



49 And all <3605 kol > the guests <7121 qara> > that [were]
with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > were afraid <2729 charad >, and
rose <6965 quwm > up, and went <3212 yalak > every man <0376
>iysh > his way <1870 derek >.



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



51 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, Adonijah <0138
>Adoniyah > feareth <3372 yare> > king <4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh >: for, lo <2009 hinneh >, he hath caught <0270
>achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the
altar <4196 mizbeach >, saying <0559 >amar >, Let king <4428
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > swear <7650 shaba< > unto me to
day that he will not slay <4191 muwth > his servant < 5650 <ebed

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

wickedness <7451 ra< > shall be found <4672 matsa> > in him, he
shall die <4191 muwth >.



53 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971
shalach >, and they brought <3381 yarad > him down < 3381 yarad >
from the altar <4196 mizbeach >. And he came <7126 qarab > and
bowed <7812 shachah > himself to king <4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh >: and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar

1Kings 2



1. Now the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > drew nigh
<7126 qarab > that he should die <4191 muwth >; and he charged
<6680 tsavah > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his son < 1121 ben >,
saying <0559 >amar >,



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



3 And keep <8104 shamar > the charge <4931 mishmereth > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, to walk <3212
yalak > in his ways <1870 derek >, to keep <8104 shamar > his
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, and his commandments <4687 mitsvah >,
and his judgments <4941 mishpat >, and his testimonies < 5715>,
as it is written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of
Moses <4872 Mosheh >, that thou mayest prosper <7919 sakal > in
all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213 <asah >, and whithersoever
thou turnest <6437 panah > thyself:



4 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > may continue <6965 quwm > his
word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar >
concerning <5921 <al > me, saying <0559 >amar >, If <0518 >im >
thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their way
<1870 derek >, to walk <3212 yalak > before <6440 paniym > me in
truth <0571 >emeth > with all <3605 kol > their heart <3824
lebab > and with all <3605 kol > their soul <5315 nephesh >,
there shall not fail <3772 karath > thee (said he) a man <0376
>iysh > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.



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



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



7 But shew <6213 <asah > kindness <2617 checed > unto the sons
<1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite <1569
Gil<adiy >, and let them be of those that eat <0398 > akal > at
thy table <7979 shulchan >: for so <3651 ken > they came <0935
bow> > to me when I fled <1272 barach > because < 6440 paniym >
of Absalom <53> thy brother <0251 >ach >.



8 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, [thou hast] with thee Shimei
<8096 Shim<iy > the son <1121 ben > of Gera < 1617 Gera> >, a
Benjamite <1145 Ben-y@miyniy > of Bahurim <0980 Bachuriym >,
which <1931 huw> > cursed <7043 qalal > me with a grievous <4834
marats > curse <7045 q@lalah > in the day <3117 yowm > when I
went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim >: but he came
<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet <7125 qir>ah > me at
Jordan <3383 Yarden >, and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him by the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >, I will not put thee
to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb >.



9 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hold him not guiltless <5352
naqah >: for thou [art] a wise <2450 chakam > man < 0376 >iysh >,
and knowest <3045 yada< > what thou oughtest to do < 6213 <asah >
unto him; but his hoar <7872 seybah > head bring <3381 yarad >
thou down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > with blood
<1818 dam >.



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



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



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



13 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > came <0935 bow> > to Bathsheba <1339
Bath-Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.
And she said <0559 >amar >, Comest <0935 bow> > thou peaceably
<7965 shalowm >? And he said <0559 >amar >, Peaceably <7965
shalowm >.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered
<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto his mother <0517 >em >,
And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49>
the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah
>? ask <7592 sha>al > for him the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > also;
for he [is] mine elder <1419 gadowl > brother <0251 > ach >; even
for him, and for Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen >, and for
Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah <6870
Ts@ruwyah >.



23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware <7650
shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >, God
<0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah > so to me, and more <3254
yacaph > also <3541 koh >, if <3588 kiy > Adonijah <0138
>Adoniyah > have not spoken <1696 dabar > this < 2088 zeh > word
<1697 dabar > against his own life <5315 nephesh >.



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



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



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



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



28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab
<3097 Yow>ab >: for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > had turned <5186 natah >
after <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah >, though he
turned <5186 natah > not after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53>. And
Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle <0168
>ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and caught < 2388 chazaq >
hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the altar
<4196 mizbeach >.



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



30 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > came <0935 bow> > to the
tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said
<0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar > the
king <4428 melek >, Come <3318 yatsa> > forth < 3318 yatsa> >.
And he said <0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but I will die <4191
muwth > here <6311 poh >. And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > brought
<7725 shuwb > the king <4428 melek > word <1697 dabar > again
<7725 shuwb >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > said <1696
dabar > Joab <3097 Yow>ab >, and thus <3541 koh > he answered
<6030 <anah > me.



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



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



33 Their blood <1818 dam > shall therefore return <7725 shuwb >
upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of Joab <3097 Yow>ab >, and upon the
head <7218 ro>sh > of his seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769
<owlam >: but upon David <1732 David >, and upon his seed <2233
zera< >, and upon his house <1004 bayith >, and upon his throne
<3678 kicce> >, shall there be peace <7965 shalowm > for ever
<5769 <owlam > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



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



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



36 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >, and said <0559 >amar >
unto him, Build <1129 banah > thee an house <1004 bayith > in
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and dwell <3427 yashab > there
<8033 sham >, and go <3318 yatsa> > not forth < 3318 yatsa> >
thence <8033 sham > any whither <0575 >an >.



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



38 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > said <0559 >amar > unto the king
<4428 melek >, The saying <1697 dabar > [is] good < 2896 towb >:
as my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696
dabar >, so <3651 ken > will thy servant <5650 < ebed > do <6213
<asah >. And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > dwelt <3427 yashab > in
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm
>.



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

ben > of Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > king <4428 melek > of Gath
<1661 Gath >. And they told <5046 nagad > Shimei < 8096 Shim<iy >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thy servants <5650
<ebed > [be] in Gath <1661 Gath >.



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



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



42 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >, and said <0559 >amar >
unto him, Did I not make thee to swear <7650 shaba< > by the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and protested <5749 <uwd > unto thee,
saying <0559 >amar >, Know <3045 yada< > for a certain <3045
yada< >, on the day <3117 yowm > thou goest <3318 yatsa> > out,
and walkest <1980 halak > abroad any whither <0575 > an >, that
thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth >? and thou saidst < 0559 >amar

shama< > [is] good <2896 towb >.



43 Why <4100 mah > then hast thou not kept <8104 shamar > the
oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the
commandment <4687 mitsvah > that I have charged <6680 tsavah >
thee with?



44 The king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > moreover to Shimei
<8096 Shim<iy >, Thou knowest <3045 yada< > all <3605 kol > the
wickedness <7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > thine heart <3824

45 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > [shall be]

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

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

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

1Kings 3



1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made affinity <2859 chathan >
with Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, and took <3947 laqach > Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh >
daughter <1323 bath >, and brought <0935 bow> > her into <0413

<ad > he had made an end <3615 kalah > of building <1129 banah >
his own house <1004 bayith >, and the house <1004 bayith > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the wall <2346 chowmah > of
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > about.



2 Only <7535 raq > the people <5971 <am > sacrificed <2076
zabach > in high <1116 bamah > places, because <3588 kiy > there
was no <3808 lo> > house <1004 bayith > built < 1129 banah > unto
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, until <5704
<ad > those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >.



3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > loved <0157 >ahab > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, walking <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708
chuqqah > of David <1732 David > his father <1>: only <7535 raq

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



4 And the king <4428 melek > went <3212 yalak > to Gibeon <1391
Gib<own > to sacrifice <2076 zabach > there <8033 sham >; for
that [was] the great <1419 gadowl > high <1116 bamah > place: a
thousand <0505 >eleph > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings did
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer <5927 <alah > upon that altar
<4196 mizbeach >.



5. In Gibeon <1391 Gib<own > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > appeared
<7200 ra>ah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in a dream <2472
chalowm > by night <3915 layil >: and God <0430 > elohiym > said
<0559 >amar >, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall give
<5414 nathan > thee.



6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar >, Thou hast
shewed <6213 <asah > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732
David > my father <1> great <1419 gadowl > mercy <2617 checed >,
according as he walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee
in truth <0571 >emeth >, and in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >,
and in uprightness <3483 yishrah > of heart <3824 lebab > with
thee; and thou hast kept <8104 shamar > for him this < 2088 zeh >
great <1419 gadowl > kindness <2617 checed >, that thou hast
given <5414 nathan > him a son <1121 ben > to sit < 3427 yashab >
on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> >, as [it is] this <2088
zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



7 And now <6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430
>elohiym >, thou hast made thy servant <5650 <ebed > king <4427
malak > instead <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David > my father
<1>: and I [am but] a little <6996 qatan > child < 5288 na<ar >:
I know <3045 yada< > not [how] to go <3318 yatsa> > out or come
<0935 bow> > in.



8 And thy servant <5650 <ebed > [is] in the midst < 8432 tavek >
of thy people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher > thou hast chosen
<0977 bachar >, a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am >, that
cannot <3808 lo> > be numbered <4487 manah > nor counted <5608
caphar > for multitude <7230 rob >.



9 Give <5414 nathan > therefore thy servant <5650 < ebed > an
understanding <8085 shama< > heart <3820 leb > to judge <8199
shaphat > thy people <5971 <am >, that I may discern <0995 biyn

for who <4310 miy > is able <3201 yakol > to judge <8199 shaphat

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

<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.



11 And God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast asked <7592 sha>al > this <2088
zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, and hast not asked <7592 sha>al > for
thyself long <7221 ri>shah > life <3117 yowm >; neither <3808
lo> > hast asked <7592 sha>al > riches <6239 <osher > for
thyself, nor <3808 lo> > hast asked <7592 sha>al > the life
<5315 nephesh > of thine enemies <0341 >oyeb >; but hast asked
<7592 sha>al > for thyself understanding <0995 biyn > to discern
<8085 shama< > judgment <4941 mishpat >;



12 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have done <6213 <asah > according
to thy words <1697 dabar >: lo <2009 hinneh >, I have given
<5414 nathan > thee a wise <2450 chakam > and an understanding
<0995 biyn > heart <3820 leb >; so that there was none <3808 lo>

after <0310 >achar > thee shall any arise <6965 quwm > like
<3644 k@mow > unto thee.



13 And I have also <1571 gam > given <5414 nathan > thee that
which <0834 >aher > thou hast not asked <7592 sha> al >, both
<1571 gam > riches <6239 <osher >, and honour < 3519 kabowd >: so
that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings <4428
melek > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee all <3605 kol > thy days
<3117 yowm >.



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



15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > awoke <3364 yaqats >; and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, [it was] a dream <2472 chalowm >. And he
came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and stood
<5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the ark < 0727 >arown > of
the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
offered <5927 <alah > up burnt <5930 <olah > offerings, and
offered <6213 <asah > peace <8002 shelem > offerings, and made
<6213 <asah > a feast <4960 mishteh > to all < 3605 kol > his
servants <5650 <ebed >.



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

unto the king <4428 melek >, and stood <5975 <amad > before
<6440 paniym > him.



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

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

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



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

that this <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > was delivered
<3205 yalad > also <1571 gam >: and we [were] together <3162
yachad >; [there was] no <0369 >ayin > stranger < 2114 zuwr >
with us in the house <1004 bayith >, save <2108 zuwlah > we two
<8147 sh@nayim > in the house <1004 bayith >.



19 And this <2063 zo>th > woman's <0802 >ishshah > child <1121
ben > died <4191 muwth > in the night <3915 layil > ; because
<0834 >aher > she overlaid <7901 shakab > it.



20 And she arose <6965 quwm > at midnight, and took < 3947
laqach > my son <1121 ben > from beside <0681 > etsel > me, while
thine handmaid <0519 >amah > slept <3463 yashen >, and laid
<7901 shakab > it in her bosom <2436 cheyq >, and laid <7901
shakab > her dead <4191 muwth > child <1121 ben > in my bosom
<2436 cheyq >.



21 And when I rose <6965 quwm > in the morning <1242 boqer > to
give my child <1121 ben > suck <3243 yanaq >, behold <2009
hinneh >, it was dead <4191 muwth >: but when I had considered
<0995 biyn > it in the morning <1242 boqer >, behold <2009
hinneh >, it was not my son <1121 ben >, which <0834 >aher > I
did bear <3205 yalad >.



22 And the other <0312 >acher > woman <0802 > ishshah > said
<0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but the living <2416 chay > [is]
my son <1121 ben >, and the dead <4191 muwth > [is] thy son
<1121 ben >. And this <2063 zo>th > said <0559 >amar >, No <3808
lo> >; but the dead <4191 muwth > [is] thy son < 1121 ben >, and
the living <2416 chay > [is] my son <1121 ben >. Thus they spake
<1696 dabar > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.



23 Then said <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, The one
<2063 zo>th > saith <0559 >amar >, This < 2063 zo>th > [is] my
son <1121 ben > that liveth <2416 chay >, and thy son <1121 ben
> [is] the dead <4191 muwth >: and the other <2063 zo>th > saith
<0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but thy son < 1121 ben > [is] the
dead <4191 muwth >, and my son <1121 ben > [is] the living <2416
chay >.



24 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Bring <3947
laqach > me a sword <2719 chereb >. And they brought < 0935 bow>
> a sword <2719 chereb > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428
melek >.



25 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Divide <1504
gazar > the living <2416 chay > child <3206 yeled > in two <8147
sh@nayim >, and give <5414 nathan > half <2677 chetsiy > to the
one <0259 >echad >, and half <2677 chetsiy > to the other <0259
>echad >.



26 Then spake <0559 >amar > the woman <0802 > ishshah > whose
<0834 >aher > the living <2416 chay > child < 1121 ben > [was]
unto the king <4428 melek >, for her bowels <7358 rechem >
yearned <3648 kamar > upon her son <1121 ben >, and she said
<0559 >amar >, O my lord <0113 >adown >, give <5414 nathan > her
the living <2416 chay > child <3205 yalad >, and in no <0408 >al

<0559 >amar >, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide
<1504 gazar > [it].



27 Then the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said
<0559 >amar >, Give <5414 nathan > her the living <2416 chay >
child <3205 yalad >, and in no <3808 lo> > wise slay <4191 muwth

28 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > heard <8085
shama< > of the judgment <4941 mishpat > which < 0834 >aher > the
king <4428 melek > had judged <8199 shaphat >; and they feared
<3372 yare> > the king <4428 melek >: for they saw <7200 ra>ah >
that the wisdom <2451 chokmah > of God <0430 >elohiym > [was] in
him, to do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat >.

26 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had forty <0705 > arba<iym >

27 And those <0428 >el-leh > officers <5324 natsab > provided

they lacked <5737 <adar > nothing.



28 Barley <8184 s@<orah > also and straw <8401 teben > for the

29. And God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon <8010

30 And Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > wisdom <2451 chokmah >

31 For he was wiser <2449 chakam > than all <3605 kol > men

32 And he spake <1696 dabar > three <7969 shalowsh > thousand

1Kings 5



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



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



3 Thou knowest <3045 yada< > how that David <1732 David > my
father <1> could <3201 yakol > not build <1129 banah > an house
<1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > for the wars < 4421 milchamah

<5437 cabab > side, until <5704 <ad > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
put <5414 nathan > them under <8478 tachath > the soles <3709
kaph > of his feet <7272 regel >.



4 But now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430
>elohiym > hath given me rest <5117 nuwach > on every <5437
cabab > side <5439 cabiyb >, [so that there is] neither <0369
>ayin > adversary <7854 satan > nor <0369 >ayin > evil <7451 ra<

5 And, behold <2005 hen >, I purpose <0559 >amar > to build
<1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > , as the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > unto David < 1732 David > my
father <1>, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy son <1121 ben >, whom
<0834 >aher > I will set <5414 nathan > upon thy throne <3678
kicce> > in thy room <8478 tachath >, he shall build <1129 banah
> an house <1004 bayith > unto my name <8034 shem > .



6 Now <6258 <attah > therefore command <6680 tsavah > thou that
they hew <3772 karath > me cedar <0730 >erez > trees out of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; and my servants <5650 <ebed > shall be
with thy servants <5650 <ebed >: and unto thee will I give <5414
nathan > hire <7939 sakar > for thy servants <5650 <ebed >
according to all <3605 kol > that thou shalt appoint < 0559 >amar
>: for thou knowest <3045 yada< > that [there is] not among us
any <0376 >iysh > that can skill <3045 yada< > to hew <3772
karath > timber <6086 <ets > like unto the Sidonians <6722
Tsiydoniy >.



7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Hiram <2438 Chiyram >
heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh >, that he rejoiced <8055 samach > greatly < 3966 m@<od

<3068 Y@hovah > this day <3117 yowm >, which <0834 >aher > hath
given <5414 nathan > unto David <1732 David > a wise <2450
chakam > son <1121 ben > over <5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > great
<7227 rab > people <5971 <am >.



8 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying <0559 >amar >, I have considered <8085
shama< > the things which <0834 >aher > thou sentest <7971
shalach > to me for: [and] I will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol

cedar <0730 >erez >, and concerning timber <6086 < ets > of fir
<1265 b@rowsh >.



9 My servants <5650 <ebed > shall bring <3381 yarad > [them]
down <3381 yarad > from Lebanon <3844 L@banown > unto the sea
<3220 yam >: and I will convey <7760 suwm > them by sea <3220
yam > in floats <1702 dob@rah > unto the place <4725 maqowm >
that thou shalt appoint <7971 shalach > me, and will cause them
to be discharged <5310 naphats > there <8033 sham >, and thou
shalt receive <5375 nasa> > [them]: and thou shalt accomplish
<6213 <asah > my desire <2656 chephets >, in giving <5414 nathan
> food <3899 lechem > for my household <1004 bayith >.



10. So Hiram <2438 Chiyram > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > cedar <0730 >erez > trees <6086 <ets > and fir <1265
b@rowsh > trees <6086 <ets > [according to] all < 3605 kol > his
desire <2656 chephets >.



11 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan > Hiram <2438
Chiyram > twenty <6242 <esriym > thousand <0505 >eleph >
measures <3734 kor > of wheat <2406 chittah > [for] food <4361
makkoleth > to his household <1004 bayith >, and twenty <6242
<esriym > measures <3734 kor > of pure <3795 kathiyth > oil
<8081 shemen >: thus <3541 koh > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > to Hiram <2438 Chiyram > year < 8141 shaneh > by
year <8141 shaneh >.



12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > wisdom <2451 chokmah >, as he promised <1696
dabar > him: and there was peace <7965 shalowm > between <0996
beyn > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >; and
they two <8147 sh@nayim > made <3772 karath > a league <1285
b@riyth > together.



13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927
<alah > a levy <4522 mac > out of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478
Yisra>el >; and the levy <4522 mac > was thirty < 7970
sh@lowshiym > thousand <0505 >eleph > men <0376 >iysh >.



14 And he sent <7971 shalach > them to Lebanon <3844 L@banown >,
ten <6235 <eser > thousand <0505 >eleph > a month <2320 chodesh

were in Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, [and] two <8147 sh@nayim >
months <2320 chodesh > at home <1004 bayith >: and Adoniram
<0141 >Adoniyram > [was] over <5921 <al > the levy <4522 mac >.



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

<5375 nasa> > burdens <5449 cabbal >, and fourscore <8084
sh@moniym > thousand <0505 >eleph > hewers <2672 chatsab > in
the mountains <2022 har >;



16 Beside <0905 bad > the chief <8269 sar > of Solomon's <8010
Sh@lomoh > officers <5324 natsab > which <0834 > aher > [were]
over <5921 <al > the work <4399 m@la>kah >, three <7969 shalowsh

<3967 me>ah >, which ruled <7287 radah > over the people <5971
<am > that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work < 4399 m@la>kah >.



17 And the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >, and
they brought <5265 naca< > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68>,
costly <3368 yaqar > stones <68>, [and] hewed < 1496 gaziyth >
stones <68>, to lay the foundation <3245 yacad > of the house
<1004 bayith >.



18 And Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > builders <1129 banah > and
Hiram's <2438 Chiyram > builders <1129 banah > did hew <6458
pacal > [them], and the stonesquarers <1382 Gibliy >: so they
prepared <3559 kuwn > timber <6086 <ets > and stones <68> to
build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >.



1Kings 6



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the four <0702 >arba< >
hundred <3967 me>ah > and eightieth <8084 sh@moniym > year <8141
shaneh > after the children <1121 ben > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year
<8141 shaneh > of Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > reign <4427 malak >
over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, in the month <2320
chodesh > Zif <2099 Ziv >, which <1931 huw> > [is] the second
<8145 sheniy > month <2320 chodesh >, that he began to build
<1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

2 And the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > king <4428
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > for the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was]
threescore <8346 shishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > , and the
breadth <7341 rochab > thereof twenty <6242 <esriym > [cubits],
and the height <6967 qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym >
cubits <0520 >ammah >.



3 And the porch <0197 >uwlam > before the temple < 1964 heykal >
of the house <1004 bayith >, twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520
>ammah > [was] the length <0753 >orek > thereof, according to
the breadth <7341 rochab > of the house <1004 bayith > ; [and]
ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the breadth <7341
rochab > thereof before the house <1004 bayith >.



4 And for the house <1004 bayith > he made <6213 < asah >
windows <2474 challown > of narrow <0331 >atam > lights <8261
shaquph >.



5 And against <5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > of the house
<1004 bayith > he built <1129 banah > chambers < 3326 yatsuwa< >
round <5439 cabiyb > about, [against] the walls <7023 qiyr > of
the house <1004 bayith > round <5439 cabiyb > about, [both] of
the temple <1964 heykal > and of the oracle <1687 d@biyr >: and
he made <6213 <asah > chambers <6763 tsela< > round <5439 cabiyb

6 The nethermost <8481 tachtown > chamber <3326 yatsuwa< >
[was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > broad <7341
rochab >, and the middle <8484 tiykown > [was] six < 8337 shesh >
cubits <0520 >ammah > broad <7341 rochab >, and the third <7992
sh@liyshiy > [was] seven <7651 sheba< > cubits < 0520 >ammah >
broad <7341 rochab >: for without <2351 chuwts > [in the wall]
of the house <1004 bayith > he made <5414 nathan > narrowed
<4052 migra<ah > rests round <5439 cabiyb > about, that [the
beams] should not be fastened <0270 >achaz > in the walls <7023
qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith >.



7 And the house <1004 bayith >, when it was in building <1129
banah >, was built <1129 banah > of stone <68> made ready <8003
shalem > before <4551 macca< > it was brought < 4551 macca< >
thither: so that there was neither <3808 lo> > hammer <4717
maqqabah > nor axe <1631 garzen > [nor] any <3605 kol > tool
<3627 k@liy > of iron <1270 barzel > heard <8085 shama< > in the
house <1004 bayith >, while it was in building <1129 banah >.



8 The door <6907 qubba<ath > for the middle <8484 tiykown >
chamber <6763 tsela< > [was] in the right <3233 y@maniy > side
<3802 katheph > of the house <1004 bayith >: and they went <5927
<alah > up with winding <3583 kachal > stairs < 3883 luwl > into

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

9 So he built <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >, and
finished <3615 kalah > it; and covered <5603 caphan > the house
<1004 bayith > with beams <1356 geb > and boards < 7713 s@derah >
of cedar <0730 >erez >.



10 And [then] he built <1129 banah > chambers <3326 yatsuwa< >
against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the house < 1004 bayith >,
five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah >:
and they rested <0270 >achaz > on the house <1004 bayith >
[with] timber <6086 <ets > of cedar <0730 >erez >.



11. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying < 0559 >amar >,



12 [Concerning] this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > which
<0834 >aher > thou art in building <1129 banah >, if <0518 >im >
thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah >, and
execute <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 mishpat >, and keep
<8104 shamar > all <3605 kol > my commandments < 4687 mitsvah >
to walk <3212 yalak > in them; then will I perform <6965 quwm >
my word <1697 dabar > with thee, which <0834 >aher > I spake
<1696 dabar > unto David <1732 David > thy father < 1>:



13 And I will dwell <7931 shakan > among <8432 tavek > the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and will not
forsake <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.



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



15. And he built <1129 banah > the walls <7023 qiyr > of the
house <1004 bayith > within <1004 bayith > with boards <6763
tsela< > of cedar <0730 >erez >, both the floor <7172 qarqa< >
of the house <1004 bayith >, and the walls <7023 qiyr > of the
cieling <5604 cippun >: [and] he covered <6823 tsaphah > [them]
on the inside <1004 bayith > with wood <6086 <ets > , and covered
<6823 tsaphah > the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004
bayith > with planks <6763 tsela< > of fir <1265 b@rowsh >.



16 And he built <1129 banah > twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits
<0520 >ammah > on the sides <3411 y@rekah > of the house <1004
bayith >, both the floor <7172 qarqa< > and the walls <7023 qiyr

built <1129 banah > [them] for it within <1004 bayith >, [even]
for the oracle <1687 d@biyr >, [even] for the most <6944 qodesh

17 And the house <1004 bayith >, that [is], the temple < 1964
heykal > before <3942 liphnay > it, was forty <0705 >arba<iym >
cubits <0520 >ammah > [long].



18 And the cedar <0730 >erez > of the house <1004 bayith >
within <6441 p@niymah > [was] carved <4734 miqla<ath > with
knops <6497 peqa< > and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts

19 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he prepared <3559 kuwn > in
the house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah >, to set <5414
nathan > there <8033 sham > the ark <0727 >arown > of the

20 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > in the forepart <6440 paniym >
[was] twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 >ammah > in length

in breadth <7341 rochab >, and twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits
<0520 >ammah > in the height <6967 qowmah > thereof: and he
overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with pure <5462 cagar > gold <2091
zahab >; and [so] covered <6823 tsaphah > the altar < 4196
mizbeach > [which was of] cedar <0730 >erez >.



21 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the
house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah > with pure <5462
cagar > gold <2091 zahab >: and he made a partition < 5674 <abar

tsaphah > it with gold <2091 zahab >.



22 And the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > he overlaid
<6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab >, until < 5704 <ad > he
had <1961 hayah > finished <8552 tamam > all <3605 kol > the

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

24 And five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the one

25 And the other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > [was] ten

cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > [were] of one <0259 >echad > measure
<4060 middah > and one <0259 >echad > size < 7095 qetseb >.



26 The height <6967 qowmah > of the one <0259 >echad > cherub
<3742 k@ruwb > [was] ten <6235 <eser > cubits < 0520 >ammah >,
and so <3651 ken > [was it] of the other <8145 sheniy > cherub
<3742 k@ruwb >.



27 And he set <5414 nathan > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >
within <8432 tavek > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > house <1004
bayith >: and they stretched <6566 paras > forth the wings <3671
kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, so that the wing <3671
kanaph > of the one <0259 >echad > touched <5060 naga< > the
[one] wall <7023 qiyr >, and the wing <3671 kanaph > of the
other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > touched <5060 naga< >
the other <8145 sheniy > wall <7023 qiyr >; and their wings
<3671 kanaph > touched <5060 naga< > one <3671 kanaph > another
<3671 kanaph > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the house <1004
bayith >.



28 And he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >
with gold <2091 zahab >.



29 And he carved <7049 qala< > all <3605 kol > the walls <7023
qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith > round <4524 mecab > about
<4524 mecab > with carved <6603 pittuwach > figures <4734
miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > and palm < 8561 timmor >
trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts >, within
<6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown >.



30 And the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > he
overlaid <6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab >, within <6441
p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown >.



31 And for the entering <6607 pethach > of the oracle < 1687
d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah > doors <1817 deleth > [of] olive
<8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >: the lintel < 0352 >ayil > [and]
side posts <4201 m@zuwzah > [were] a fifth <2549 chamiyshiy >
part [of the wall].



32 The two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > also [were of]
olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >; and he carved <7049
qala< > upon them carvings <4734 miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742
k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr >
flowers <6731 tsiyts >, and overlaid <6823 tsaphah > [them] with
gold <2091 zahab >, and spread <7286 radad > gold < 2091 zahab >
upon the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, and upon the palm < 8561
timmor > trees.



33 So <3651 ken > also made <6213 <asah > he for the door <6907
qubba<ath > of the temple <1964 heykal > posts < 4201 m@zuwzah >
[of] olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >, a fourth <7243
r@biy<iy > part [of the wall].



34 And the two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > [were of]
fir <1265 b@rowsh > tree <6086 <ets >: the two < 8147 sh@nayim >
leaves <6763 tsela< > of the one <0259 >echad > door <1817
deleth > [were] folding <1550 galiyl >, and the two < 8147
sh@nayim > leaves <7050 qela< > of the other <8145 sheniy > door
<1817 deleth > [were] folding <1550 galiyl >.



35 And he carved <7049 qala< > [thereon] cherubims < 3742 k@ruwb

<6731 tsiyts >: and covered <6823 tsaphah > [them] with gold
<2091 zahab > fitted <3474 yashar > upon the carved <2707 chaqah

36 And he built <1129 banah > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court
<2691 chatser > with three <7969 shalowsh > rows < 2905 tuwr > of
hewed <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth >, and a row <2905
tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 karuthah >.



37 In the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > was the
foundation <3245 yacad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > laid, in the month <3391 yerach > Zif <2099 Ziv

38 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh >, in the month <3391
yerach > Bul <0945 Buwl >, which <1931 huw> > [is] the eighth
<8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, was the house <1004
bayith > finished <3615 kalah > throughout all <3605 kol > the
parts <1697 dabar > thereof, and according <5921 <al > to all
<3605 kol > the fashion <4941 mishpat > of it. So was he seven
<7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > in building <1129 banah > it.



1Kings 7



1. But Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was building <1129 banah > his
own house <1004 bayith > thirteen years <8141 shaneh > , and he
finished <3615 kalah > all <3605 kol > his house < 1004 bayith >.



2 He built <1129 banah > also the house <1004 bayith > of the
forest <3293 ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; the length
<0753 >orek > thereof [was] an hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits
<0520 >ammah >, and the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof fifty
<2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the height <6967
qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits < 0520 >ammah

<3773 karuthah > upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >.



3 And [it was] covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez >
above <4605 ma<al > upon the beams <6763 tsela< >, that [lay] on
forty <0705 >arba<iym > five <2568 chamesh > pillars <5982
<ammuwd >, fifteen <6240 <asar > [in] a row < 2905 tuwr >.



4 And [there were] windows <8261 shaquph > [in] three < 7969
shalowsh > rows <2905 tuwr >, and light <4237 mechezah > [was]
against <0413 >el > light <4237 mechezah > [in] three <7969

5 And all <3605 kol > the doors <6607 pethach > and posts <4201
m@zuwzah > [were] square <7251 raba< >, with the windows <8260
sheqeph >: and light <4237 mechezah > [was] against light <0216

6 And he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > of pillars
<5982 <ammuwd >; the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was] fifty
<2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the breadth
<7341 rochab > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520

the [other] pillars <5982 <ammuwd > and the thick beam <5646 <ab

7 Then he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > for the
throne <3678 kicce> > where he might judge <8199 shaphat >,
[even] the porch <0197 >uwlam > of judgment <4941 mishpat >: and
[it was] covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 > erez > from
one side of the floor <7172 qarqa< > to the other.



8 And his house <1004 bayith > where he dwelt <3427 yashab >
[had] another <0312 >acher > court <2691 chatser > within <1004
bayith > the porch <0197 >uwlam >, [which] was of the like work
<4649 Muppiym >. Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made < 6213 <asah >
also an house <1004 bayith > for Pharaoh's <6547 Par< oh >
daughter <1323 bath >, whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961 hayah >
taken <3947 laqach > [to wife], like unto this <2088 zeh > porch
<0197 >uwlam >.



9 All <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [were of] costly <3368
yaqar > stones <68>, according to the measures <4060 middah > of
hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >, sawed <1641 garar

<2351 chuwts >, even from the foundation <4527 maccad > unto the
coping <2947 tephach >, and [so] on <5704 <ad > the outside
<2351 chuwts > toward <5704 <ad > the great < 1419 gadowl > court
<2691 chatser >.



10 And the foundation <3245 yacad > [was of] costly < 3368 yaqar

<68> of ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 > ammah >, and stones <68>
of eight <8083 sh@moneh > cubits <0520 >ammah >.



11 And above <4605 ma<al > [were] costly <3368 yaqar > stones
<68>, after the measures <4060 middah > of hewed < 1496 gaziyth >
stones <1496 gaziyth >, and cedars <0730 >erez >.



12 And the great <1419 gadowl > court <2691 chatser > round
<5439 cabiyb > about [was] with three <7969 shalowsh > rows
<2905 tuwr > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >,
and a row <2905 tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773
karuthah >, both for the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court <2691
chatser > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah

13. And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971
shalach > and fetched <3947 laqach > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > out
of Tyre <6865 Tsor >.



14 He [was] a widow's <0490 >almanah > son <1121 ben > of the
tribe <4294 matteh > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >, and his
father <1> [was] a man <0376 >iysh > of Tyre < 6876 Tsoriy >, a
worker <2790 charash > in brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and he was
filled <4390 male> > with wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and
understanding <8394 tabuwn >, and cunning <1847 da< ath > to work
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > works <4399 m@la>kah > in brass
<5178 n@chosheth >. And he came <0935 bow> > to king <4428 melek

kol > his work <4399 m@la>kah >.



15 For he cast <6696 tsuwr > two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982
<ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >, of eighteen cubits <0520
>ammah > high <6967 qowmah > apiece <0259 > echad >: and a line
<2339 chuwt > of twelve cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437
cabab > either <8145 sheniy > of them about <5437 cabab >.



16 And he made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > chapiters
<3805 kothereth > [of] molten <3332 yatsaq > brass <5178
n@chosheth >, to set <5414 nathan > upon the tops < 7218 ro>sh >
of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >: the height <6967 qowmah > of the
one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] five <2568
chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the height < 6967 qowmah >
of the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was]
five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >:



17 [And] nets <7638 sabak > of checker <7639 s@bakah > work
<4639 ma<aseh >, and wreaths <1434 g@dil > of chain <8333
sharah@rah > work <4639 ma<aseh >, for the chapiters <3805
kothereth > which <0834 >aher > [were] upon the top <7218 ro>sh

one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth >, and seven <7651
sheba< > for the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter < 3805 kothereth >.



18 And he made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 < ammuwd >, and
two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > round <5439 cabiyb >
about upon the one <0259 >echad > network <7639 s@bakah >, to
cover <3680 kacah > the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [were]
upon the top <7218 ro>sh >, with pomegranates <7416 rimmown >:
and so <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for the other <8145
sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth >.



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

20 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > upon the two < 8147
sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [had pomegranates] also <1571
gam > above <4605 ma<al >, over <5980 <ummah > against <5980
<ummah > the belly <0990 beten > which <0834 > aher > [was] by
the network <7639 s@bakah >: and the pomegranates <7416 rimmown

<5439 cabiyb > about upon the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter
<3805 kothereth >.



21 And he set <6965 quwm > up the pillars <5982 < ammuwd > in
the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the temple <1964 heykal >: and he
set <6965 quwm > up the right <3225 yamiyn > pillar <5982
<ammuwd >, and called <7121 qara> > the name < 8034 shem >
thereof Jachin <3199 Yakiyn >: and he set <6965 quwm > up the
left <8042 s@ma>liy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and called <7121
qara> > the name <8034 shem > thereof Boaz <1162 Bo<az >.



22 And upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars < 5982 <ammuwd

work <4399 m@la>kah > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > finished
<8552 tamam >.



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



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



25 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar >, three
<7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the north <6828
tsaphown >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah >
toward the west <3220 yam >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking
<6437 panah > toward the south <5045 negeb >, and three <7969
shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the east < 4217 mizrach >:
and the sea <3220 yam > [was set] above <4605 ma<al > upon them,
and all <3605 kol > their hinder <0268 >achowr > parts [were]
inward <1004 bayith >.



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

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



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



29 And on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 micgereth > that [were]
between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > [were] lions
<0738 >ariy >, oxen <1241 baqar >, and cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >:
and upon the ledges <7948 shalab > [there was] a base < 3653 ken

<0738 >ariy > and oxen <1241 baqar > [were] certain additions
<3914 loyah > made <6213 <asah > of thin <4174 mowrad > work
<4639 ma<aseh >.



30 And every <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > had four
<0702 >arba< > brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wheels <0212 >owphan >,
and plates <5633 ceren > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and the
four <0702 >arba< > corners <6471 pa<am > thereof had
undersetters <3802 katheph >: under <8478 tachath > the laver
<3595 kiyowr > [were] undersetters <3802 katheph > molten <3332
yatsaq >, at the side <5676 <eber > of every <0376 >iysh >
addition <3914 loyah >.



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



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



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



34 And [there were] four <0702 >arba< > undersetters <3802
katheph > to the four <0702 >arba< > corners < 6438 pinnah > of
one <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah >: [and] the undersetters
<3802 katheph > [were] of the very base <4350 m@kownah > itself.



35 And in the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 m@kownah >
[was there] a round <5696 <agol > compass <5439 cabiyb > of half
<2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah > high < 6967 qowmah >: and
on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 m@kownah
> the ledges <3027 yad > thereof and the borders < 4526 micgereth

36 For on <5921 <al > the plates <3871 luwach > of the ledges
<3027 yad > thereof, and on <5921 <al > the borders <4526
micgereth > thereof, he graved <6605 pathach > cherubims <3742
k@ruwb >, lions <0738 >ariy >, and palm <8561 timmor > trees,
according to the proportion <4626 ma<ar > of every < 0376 >iysh >
one <0376 >iysh >, and additions <3914 loyah > round <5439
cabiyb > about.



37 After this <2063 zo>th > [manner] he made <6213 <asah > the

46 In the plain <3603 kikkar > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > did the

ma<abeh > ground <0127 >adamah > between <0996 beyn > Succoth

47 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > left <3240 yanach > all <3605

exceeding <3966 m@<od > many <7230 rob >: neither <3808 lo> >

48. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > all <3605

50 And the bowls <5592 caph >, and the snuffers <4212

51 So was ended <7999 shalam > all <3605 kol > the work <4399

1. Then <0227 >az > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > assembled <6950

2 And all <3605 kol > the men <0376 >iysh > of Israel <3478

3 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > came <0935 bow> >, and the priests < 3548 kohen > took
<5375 nasa> > up the ark <0727 >arown >.



4 And they brought <5927 <alah > up the ark <0727 >arown > of

the congregation <4150 mow<ed >, and all <3605 kol > the holy

5 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all
<3605 kol > the congregation <5712 <edah > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, that were assembled <3259 ya<ad > unto him, [were]

numbered <4487 manah > for multitude <7230 rob >.



6 And the priests <3548 kohen > brought <0935 bow> > in the ark

Y@hovah > unto his place <4725 maqowm >, into <0413 >el > the
oracle <1687 d@biyr > of the house <1004 bayith >, to the most
<6944 qodesh > holy <6944 qodesh > [place, even] under the wings
<3671 kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >.



7 For the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > spread <6566 paras > forth
[their] two wings <3671 kanaph > over <0413 >el > the place
<4725 maqowm > of the ark <0727 >arown >, and the cherubims
<3742 k@ruwb > covered <5526 cakak > the ark <0727 >arown > and
the staves <0905 bad > thereof above <4605 ma<al >.



8 And they drew <0748 >arak > out the staves <0905 bad >, that
the ends <7218 ro>sh > of the staves <0905 bad > were seen <7200
ra>ah > out in the holy <6944 qodesh > [place] before the oracle

9 [There was] nothing <0369 >ayin > in the ark <0727 >arown >
save <7535 raq > the two <8147 sh@nayim > tables < 3871 luwach >
of stone <68>, which <0834 >aher > Moses <4872 Mosheh > put
<3240 yanach > there <8033 sham > at Horeb <2722 Choreb >, when
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > made < 3772 karath > [a

of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.



10 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the priests < 3548
kohen > were come <3318 yatsa> > out of the holy < 6944 qodesh >
[place], that the cloud <6051 <anan > filled <4390 male> > the
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,



11 So that the priests <3548 kohen > could <3201 yakol > not
stand <5975 <amad > to minister <8334 sharath > because <6440
paniym > of the cloud <6051 <anan >: for the glory <3519 kabowd

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



12. Then <0227 >az > spake <0559 >amar > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

dwell <7931 shakan > in the thick darkness <6205 < araphel >.



13 I have surely <0403 >aken > built <1129 banah > thee an
house <1004 bayith > to dwell <2073 z@buwl > in, a settled <4349
makown > place for thee to abide <3427 yashab > in for ever
<5769 <owlam >.



14 And the king <4428 melek > turned <5437 cabab > his face
<6440 paniym > about, and blessed <1288 barak > all <3605 kol >
the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el >: (and
all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > stood <5975 <amad >;)



15 And he said <0559 >amar >, Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > with his
mouth <6310 peh > unto David <1732 David > my father <1>, and
hath with his hand <3027 yad > fulfilled <4390 male> > [it],
saying <0559 >amar >,



16 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, I chose <0977 bachar

tribes <7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to build <1129
banah > an house <1004 bayith >, that my name <8034 shem > might
be therein <8033 sham >; but I chose <0977 bachar > David <1732
David > to be over <5921 <al > my people <5971 < am > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >.



17 And it was in the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David >
my father <1> to build <1129 banah > an house < 1004 bayith > for
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



18 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto David
<1732 David > my father <1>, Whereas it was in thine heart <3824
lebab > to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto my
name <8034 shem >, thou didst well <3190 yatab > that it was in
thine heart <3824 lebab >.



19 Nevertheless <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah >
the house <1004 bayith >; but thy son <1121 ben > that shall
come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of thy loins <2504
chalats >, he shall build <1129 banah > the house < 1004 bayith >
unto my name <8034 shem >.



20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath performed <6965 quwm > his
word <1697 dabar > that he spake <1696 dabar >, and I am risen
<6965 quwm > up in the room <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David

throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , as the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > promised <1696 dabar >, and have built <1129
banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.



21 And I have set <7760 suwm > there <8033 sham > a place <4725
maqowm > for the ark <0727 >arown >, wherein [is] the covenant
<1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher >
he made <3772 karath > with our fathers <1>, when he brought
<3318 yatsa> > them out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim >.



22. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > stood <5975 <amad > before
<6440 paniym > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > in the presence <5048 neged > of all <3605 kol > the
congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and
spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3027 yad > toward heaven
<8064 shamayim >:



23 And he said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617 checed > with thy
servants <5650 <ebed > that walk <1980 halak > before <6440
paniym > thee with all <3605 kol > their heart <3824 lebab >:



24 Who <0834 >aher > hast kept <8104 shamar > with thy servant
<5650 <ebed > David <1732 David > my father < 1> that thou
promisedst <1696 dabar > him: thou spakest <1696 dabar > also
with thy mouth <6310 peh >, and hast fulfilled <4390 male> >
[it] with thine hand <3027 yad >, as [it is] this <2088 zeh >
day <3117 yowm >.



25 Therefore now <6258 <attah >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 David > my father <1> that
thou promisedst <1696 dabar > him, saying <0559 >amar >, There
shall not fail <3772 karath > thee a man <0376 >iysh > in my
sight <6440 paniym > to sit <3427 yashab > on < 5921 <al > the
throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; so <7535 raq >
that thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their
way <1870 derek >, that they walk <3212 yalak > before <6440
paniym > me as thou hast walked <1980 halak > before < 6440
paniym > me.



26 And now <6258 <attah >, O God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, let thy word <1697 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> >
thee, be verified <0539 >aman >, which <0834 >aher > thou
spakest <1696 dabar > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732
David > my father <1>.



27 But will God <0430 >elohiym > indeed <0552 > umnam > dwell
<3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the earth <0776 >erets >? behold
<2009 hinneh >, the heaven <8064 shamayim > and heaven <8064

less this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > that I have builded
<1129 banah >?



28 Yet have thou respect <6437 panah > unto the prayer < 8605
t@phillah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and to his
supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God
<0430 >elohiym >, to hearken <8085 shama< > unto the cry <7440

29 That thine eyes <5869 <ayin > may be open <6605 pathach >

the place <4725 maqowm > of which <0834 >aher > thou hast said
<0559 >amar >, My name <8034 shem > shall be there <8033 sham >:
that thou mayest hearken <8085 shama< > unto the prayer <8605
t@phillah > which <0834 >aher > thy servant <5650 <ebed > shall

30 And hearken <8085 shama< > thou to the supplication <8467
t@chinnah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and of thy people
<5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, when < 0834 >aher > they

31 If any man <0376 >iysh > trespass <2398 chata> > against his

32 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou in heaven <8064 shamayim >,
and do <6213 <asah >, and judge <8199 shaphat > thy servants

37 If <3588 kiy > there be in the land <0776 >erets > famine

39 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou in heaven <8064 shamayim > thy

44 If <3588 kiy > thy people <5971 <am > go < 3318 yatsa> > out

45 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou in heaven <8064 shamayim >
their prayer <8605 t@phillah > and their supplication < 8467

46 If <3588 kiy > they sin <2398 chata> > against thee, (for
[there is] no <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam > that sinneth <2398

deliver <5414 nathan > them to the enemy <0341 >oyeb >, so that

47 [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land <0776

and the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > I have built

49 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou their prayer <8605 t@phillah >

50 And forgive <5545 calach > thy people <5971 <am > that have

carried <7617 shabah > them captive <7617 shabah >, that they
may have compassion <7355 racham > on them:



51 For they [be] thy people <5971 <am >, and thine inheritance

from the midst <8432 tavek > of the furnace <3564 kuwr > of iron

52 That thine eyes <5869 <ayin > may be open <6605 pathach >
unto the supplication <8467 t@chinnah > of thy servant < 5650

53 For thou didst <6213 <asah > separate <0914 badal > them

<4872 Mosheh > thy servant <5650 <ebed >, when thou broughtest
<3318 yatsa> > our fathers <1> out of Egypt < 4714 Mitsrayim >, O
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



54. And it was [so], that when Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had
made an end <3615 kalah > of praying <6419 palal > all <3605 kol

55 And he stood <5975 <amad >, and blessed <1288 barak > all
<3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl >, saying

56 Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that

<4872 Mosheh > his servant <5650 <ebed >.



57 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > be with us,
as he was with our fathers <1>: let him not leave <5800 <azab >

58 That he may incline <5186 natah > our hearts <3824 lebab >

<4941 mishpat >, which <0834 >aher > he commanded <6680 tsavah >
our fathers <1>.



59 And let these <0428 >el-leh > my words <1697 dabar >,
wherewith <0834 >aher > I have made supplication < 2603 chanan >
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, be nigh <7126

day <3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil >, that he maintain

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > at all times <3117 yowm >, as the matter
<1697 dabar > shall require <3117 yowm >:



60 That all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the earth

61 Let your heart <3824 lebab > therefore be perfect < 8003

to walk <3212 yalak > in his statutes <2706 choq >, and to keep
<8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >, as at this
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



62. And the king <4428 melek >, and all <3605 kol > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > with him, offered <2076 zabach > sacrifice
<2077 zebach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >.



63 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offered <2076 zabach > a
sacrifice <2077 zebach > of peace <8002 shelem > offerings,
which <0834 >aher > he offered <2076 zabach > unto the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, two <8147 sh@nayim > and twenty < 6242 <esriym >
thousand <0505 >eleph > oxen <1241 baqar >, and an hundred <3967

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > dedicated <2596
chanak > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



64 The same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > did the king <4428

court <2691 chatser > that [was] before <6440 paniym > the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for there <8033 sham

meat offerings <4503 minchah >, and the fat <2459 cheleb > of
the peace <8002 shelem > offerings: because <3588 kiy > the
brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > that [was]
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] too little

offerings, and meat offerings <4503 minchah >, and the fat <2459

65 And at that time <6256 <eth > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > held
<6213 <asah > a feast <2282 chag >, and all < 3605 kol > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > with him, a great <1419 gadowl > congregation
<6951 qahal >, from the entering <0935 bow> > in of Hamath <2574

66 On the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm > he sent
<7971 shalach > the people <5971 <am > away: and they blessed
<1288 barak > the king <4428 melek >, and went < 3212 yalak >
unto their tents <0168 >ohel > joyful <8056 sameach > and glad
<2896 towb > of heart <3824 lebab > for all <3605 kol > the
goodness <2896 towb > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had done
<6213 <asah > for David <1732 David > his servant <5650 <ebed >,
and for Israel <3478 Yisra>el > his people <5971 < am >.



1Kings 9



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Solomon < 8010
Sh@lomoh > had finished <3615 kalah > the building < 1129 banah >
of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and all <3605 kol >
Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > desire <2837 chesheq > which <0834

2 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > appeared <7200 ra>ah > to
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the second <8145 sheniy > time, as he
had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him at Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >.



3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, I
have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605 t@phillah > and thy
supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, that thou hast made before <6440

house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher > thou hast built <1129
banah >, to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there <8033
sham > for ever <5769 <owlam >; and mine eyes < 5869 <ayin > and
mine heart <3824 lebab > shall be there <8033 sham > perpetually.



4 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > before <6440
paniym > me, as David <1732 David > thy father <1> walked <1980
halak >, in integrity <8537 tom > of heart <3824 lebab >, and in
uprightness <3476 yosher >, to do <6213 <asah > according to all
<3605 kol > that I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee, [and]
wilt keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > and my
judgments <4941 mishpat >:



5 Then I will establish <6965 quwm > the throne <3678 kicce> >
of thy kingdom <4467 mamlakah > upon Israel <3478 Yisra>el > for
ever <5769 <owlam >, as I promised <1696 dabar > to David <1732
David > thy father <1>, saying <0559 >amar >, There shall not
fail <3772 karath > thee a man <0376 >iysh > upon the throne
<3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



6 [But] if <0518 >im > ye shall at all turn <7725 shuwb > from
following <0310 >achar > me, ye or your children < 1121 ben >,
and will not keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah >
[and] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > which <0834 >aher > I have set
<5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > you, but go < 1980 halak >
and serve <5647 <abad > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym

7 Then will I cut <3772 karath > off Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
out of the land <0127 >adamah > which <0834 >aher > I have given
<5414 nathan > them; and this house <1004 bayith >, which <0834

will I cast <7971 shalach > out of my sight <6440 paniym >; and
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be a proverb <4912 mashal > and a
byword <8148 sh@niynah > among all <3605 kol > people <5971 <am

8 And at this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, [which] is high
<5945 >elyown >, every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar

sharaq >; and they shall say <0559 >amar >, Why hath the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > done <6213 <asah > thus <3602 kakah > unto this
land <0776 >erets >, and to this house <1004 bayith >?



9 And they shall answer <0559 >amar >, Because they forsook
<5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym

their fathers <1> out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, and have taken <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq >
upon other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and have
worshipped <7812 shachah > them, and served <5647 < abad > them:
therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > brought <0935 bow> >
upon them all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< >.



10. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7097 qatseh >
of twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >, when Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had built <1129 banah > the two < 8147 sh@nayim

11 ([Now] Hiram <2438 Chiyram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre

according to all <3605 kol > his desire <2656 chephets >,) that
then <0227 >az > king <4428 melek > Solomon < 8010 Sh@lomoh >
gave <5414 nathan > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > twenty < 6242 <esriym >

12 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > came <3318 yatsa> > out from Tyre

13 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > cities <5892
<iyr > [are] these <0428 >el-leh > which <0834 >aher > thou hast
given <5414 nathan > me, my brother <0251 >ach >? And he called
<7121 qara> > them the land <0776 >erets > of Cabul <3521 Kabuwl

14 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to the king
<4428 melek > sixscore talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091
zahab >.



15. And this <2088 zeh > [is] the reason <1697 dabar > of the
levy <4522 mac > which <0834 >aher > king <4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927 <alah >; for to build <1129 banah

own house <1004 bayith >, and Millo <4407 millow> > , and the
wall <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and
Hazor <2674 Chatsowr >, and Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and Gezer
<1507 Gezer >.



16 [For] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim > had gone <5927 <alah > up, and taken <3920
lakad > Gezer <1507 Gezer >, and burnt <8313 saraph > it with
fire <0784 >esh >, and slain <2026 harag > the Canaanites <3669
K@na<aniy > that dwelt <3427 yashab > in the city < 5892 <iyr >,
and given <5414 nathan > it [for] a present <7964 shilluwach >
unto his daughter <1323 bath >, Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > wife
<0802 >ishshah >.



17 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > Gezer <1507
Gezer >, and Bethhoron <1032 Beyth Chowrown > the nether <8481
tachtown >,



18 And Baalath <1191 Ba<alath >, and Tadmor <8412 Tadmor > in
the wilderness <4057 midbar >, in the land <0776 > erets >,



19 And all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of store <4543
mick@nah > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah >, and
cities <5892 <iyr > for his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and cities
<5892 <iyr > for his horsemen <6571 parash >, and that which
<0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > desired < 2836 chashaq >
to build <1129 banah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and in
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, and in all <3605 kol > the land <0776

20 [And] all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > [that were]
left <3498 yathar > of the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy > , Hittites
<2850 Chittiy >, Perizzites <6522 P@rizziy >, Hivites <2340
Chivviy >, and Jebusites <2983 Yebuwciy >, which < 0834 >aher >
[were] not of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

21 Their children <1121 ben > that were left <3498 yathar >
after <0310 >achar > them in the land <0776 >erets >, whom the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > also were not
able <3201 yakol > utterly to destroy <2763 charam >, upon those
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > levy <5927 <alah > a tribute <4522
mac > of bondservice <5647 <abad > unto this <2088 zeh > day
<3117 yowm >.



22 But of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > make <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> >
bondmen <5650 <ebed >: but they [were] men <0582 > enowsh > of
war <4421 milchamah >, and his servants <5650 <ebed >, and his
princes <8269 sar >, and his captains <7991 shaliysh > , and
rulers <8269 sar > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and his
horsemen <6571 parash >.



23 These <0428 >el-leh > [were] the chief <8269 sar > of the
officers <5324 natsab > that [were] over <5921 <al > Solomon's
<8010 Sh@lomoh > work <4399 m@la>kah >, five < 2568 chamesh >
hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, which bare
<7287 radah > rule <7287 radah > over the people < 5971 <am >
that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la> kah >.



24 But Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > daughter <1323 bath > came
<5927 <alah > up out of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732
David > unto her house <1004 bayith > which <0834 > aher >
[Solomon] had built <1129 banah > for her: then <0227 >az > did
he build <1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> >.



25 And three <7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > in a year
<8141 shaneh > did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer < 5927 <alah >
burnt <5930 <olah > offerings and peace <8002 shelem > offerings
upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > he built
<1129 banah > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and he burnt <6999
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >
that [was] before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. So he
finished <7999 shalam > the house <1004 bayith >.



26 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213
<asah > a navy <0590 >oniy > of ships in Eziongeber <6100
<Etsyown <Etsyon Geber >, which <0834 >aher > [is] beside <0854

saphah > of the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >, in the land
<0776 >erets > of Edom <0123 >Edom >.



27 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > in the navy
<0590 >oniy > his servants <5650 <ebed >, shipmen that had
knowledge <3045 yada< > of the sea <3220 yam >, with the
servants <5650 <ebed > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



28 And they came <0935 bow> > to Ophir <0211 > Owphiyr >, and
fetched <3947 laqach > from thence <8033 sham > gold <2091 zahab

to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



1Kings 10



1. And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >
heard <8085 shama< > of the fame <8088 shema< > of Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh > concerning the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, she came <0935 bow> > to prove <5254 nacah > him with
hard <2420 chiydah > questions <2420 chiydah >.



2 And she came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

she was come <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, she
communed <1696 dabar > with him of all <3605 kol > that was in

3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > told <5046 nagad > her all <3605

<1697 dabar > hid <5956 <alam > from the king < 4428 melek >,
which <0834 >aher > he told <5046 nagad > her not.



4 And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > had
seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > Solomon's < 8010 Sh@lomoh >
wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and the house <1004 bayith > that he had

5 And the meat <3978 ma>akal > of his table <7979 shulchan >,
and the sitting <4186 mowshab > of his servants <5650 <ebed >,
and the attendance <4612 ma<amad > of his ministers < 8334

which <0834 >aher > he went <5927 <alah > up unto the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; there was no <3808

6 And she said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek >, It was

shama< > in mine own land <0776 >erets > of thy acts <1697 dabar

7 Howbeit I believed <0539 >aman > not the words < 1697 dabar >,
until <5704 <ad > I came <0935 bow> >, and mine eyes <5869 <ayin

9 Blessed <1288 barak > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God

in thee, to set <5414 nathan > thee on <5921 <al > the throne

for ever <5769 <owlam >, therefore made <7760 suwm > he thee
king <4428 melek >, to do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat >
and justice <6666 ts@daqah >.



10 And she gave <5414 nathan > the king <4428 melek > an
hundred <3967 me>ah > and twenty <6242 <esriym > talents <3603
kikkar > of gold <2091 zahab >, and of spices <1314 besem > very

queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > gave <5414 nathan >
to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



11 And the navy <0590 >oniy > also <1571 gam > of Hiram <2438
Chiyram >, that brought <5375 nasa> > gold <2091 zahab > from
Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >, brought <0935 bow> > in from Ophir <0211

12 And the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > of the almug

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

13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414
nathan > unto the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >
all <3605 kol > her desire <2656 chephets >, whatsoever <0834

which <0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan >
her of his royal <4428 melek > bounty. So she turned < 6437 panah

<0776 >erets >, she and her servants <5650 <ebed >.



14. Now the weight <4948 mishqal > of gold <2091 zahab > that
came <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in one <0259

kings <4428 melek > of Arabia <6152 < Arab >, and of the
governors <6346 pechah > of the country <0776 >erets >.



16 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213

17 And [he made] three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah >

them in the house <1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 ya<ar > of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >.



18 Moreover the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > a great
<1419 gadowl > throne <3678 kicce> > of ivory < 8127 shen >, and
overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with the best <6338 pazaz > gold
<2091 zahab >.



19 The throne <3678 kicce> > had six <8337 shesh > steps <4609
ma<alah >, and the top <7218 ro>sh > of the throne <3678 kicce>

were] stays <3027 yad > on either side on <0413 >el > the place

sh@nayim > lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 < amad > beside <0681

20 And twelve lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 < amad > there
<8033 sham > on the one <2088 zeh > side and on the other <2088
zeh > upon the six <8337 shesh > steps <4609 ma< alah >: there
was not the like <3651 ken > made <6213 <asah > in any <3605 kol

21 And all <3605 kol > king <4428 melek > Solomon's <8010
Sh@lomoh > drinking <4945 mashqeh > vessels <3627 k@liy > [were
of] gold <2091 zahab >, and all <3605 kol > the vessels <3627

of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [were of] pure <5462 cagar > gold

yowm > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



22 For the king <4428 melek > had at sea <3220 yam > a navy

23 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > exceeded
<1431 gadal > all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the
earth <0776 >erets > for riches <6239 <osher > and for wisdom

24 And all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets > sought <1245

wisdom <2451 chokmah >, which <0834 >aher > God <0430 >elohiym >

26 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gathered <0622 > acaph >
together chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash >: and
he had a thousand <0505 >eleph > and four <0702 > arba< > hundred

with the king <4428 melek > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



27 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver <3701
keceph > [to be] in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > as stones

the sycomore <8256 shaqam > trees that [are] in the vale <8219
sh@phelah >, for abundance <7230 rob >.



28 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > brought
<4161 mowtsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and linen <4723
miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh >: the king's <4428 melek > merchants
<5503 cachar > received <3947 laqach > the linen < 4723 miqveh >
yarn <4723 miqveh > at a price <4242 m@chiyr >.



29 And a chariot <4818 merkabah > came <5927 <alah > up and
went <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for six <8337
shesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > [shekels] of silver < 3701 keceph >,
and an horse <5483 cuwc > for an hundred <3967 me>ah > and
fifty <2572 chamishshiym >: and so for all <3605 kol > the kings
<4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy >, and for the kings
<4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >, did they bring <3318

5 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > after <0310
>achar > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth > the goddess <0430
>elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy >, and after <0310
>achar > Milcom <4445 Malkam > the abomination < 8251 shiqquwts >
of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >.



6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra<
> in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, as [did] David <1732 David > his father < 1>.



7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an high
<1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh >, the abomination
<8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, in the hill <2022 har
> that [is] before Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and for
Molech <4432 Molek >, the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the
children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown >.



8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605
kol > his strange <5237 nokriy > wives <0802 > ishshah >, which
burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076
zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym >.



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



10 And had commanded <6680 tsavah > him concerning < 5921 <al >
this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, that he should not go
<3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods
<0430 >elohiym >: but he kept <8104 shamar > not that which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >.



11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559
>amar > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, Forasmuch as this <2063
zo>th > is done of thee, and thou hast not kept <8104 shamar >
my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah >,
which <0834 >aher > I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee, I will
surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from thee,
and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650 <ebed >.



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



13 Howbeit <7535 raq > I will not rend <7167 qara< > away all
<3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah >; [but] will give <5414
nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > to thy son
<1121 ben > for David <1732 David > my servant's < 5650 <ebed >
sake <4616 ma<an >, and for Jerusalem's <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
sake <4616 ma<an > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977
bachar >.



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



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



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



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



18 And they arose <6965 quwm > out of Midian <4080 Midyan >,
and came <0935 bow> > to Paran <6290 Pa>ran >: and they took
<3947 laqach > men <0582 >enowsh > with them out of Paran <6290
Pa>ran >, and they came <0935 bow> > to Egypt < 4714 Mitsrayim >,
unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >; which gave <5414 nathan > him an house < 1004 bayith
>, and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899 lechem >, and
gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets >.



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



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



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



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



23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up
[another] adversary <7854 satan >, Rezon <7331 R@zown > the son
<1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< >, which <0834 >aher >
fled <1272 barach > from his lord <0113 >adown > Hadadezer <1909
Hadad<ezer > king <4428 melek > of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> >:



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



25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel < 3478
Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh >, beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< >
that Hadad <1908 Hadad > [did]: and he abhorred <6973 quwts >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921
<al > Syria <0758 >Aram >.



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



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



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



29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at that time <6256 <eth >
when Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > went <3318 yatsa> > out of
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, that the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > found
<4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek >; and he had clad
<3680 kacah > himself <1931 huw> > with a new < 2319 chadash >
garment <8008 salmah >; and they two <8147 sh@nayim > [were]
alone <0905 bad > in the field <7704 sadeh >:



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



31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, Take
<3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces < 7168 qera< >: for
thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Behold
<2005 hen >, I will rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467
mamlakah > out of the hand <3027 yad > of Solomon < 8010 Sh@lomoh
>, and will give <5414 nathan > ten <6235 <eser > tribes <7626
shebet > to thee:



32 (But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > tribe
<7626 shebet > for my servant <5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David
> sake <4616 ma<an >, and for Jerusalem's <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
sake <4616 ma<an >, the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I
have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol > the tribes
<7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:)



33 Because that they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and have
worshipped <7812 shachah > Ashtoreth <6252 < Ashtarowth > the
goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy >,
Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the Moabites
<4124 Mow>ab >, and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god <0430 >elohiym
> of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 < Ammown >, and have
not walked <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek >, to do <6213
<asah > [that which is] right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869
<ayin >, and [to keep] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my
judgments <4941 mishpat >, as [did] David <1732 David > his
father <1>.



34 Howbeit I will not take <3947 laqach > the whole kingdom
<4467 mamlakah > out of his hand <3027 yad >: but I will make
him prince <5387 nasiy> > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm >
of his life <2416 chay > for David my servant's <5650 <ebed >
sake <4616 ma<an >, whom <0834 >aher > I chose <0977 bachar >,
because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments
<4687 mitsvah > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah >:



35 But I will take <3947 laqach > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah >
out of his son's <1121 ben > hand <3027 yad >, and will give
<5414 nathan > it unto thee, [even] ten <6235 <eser > tribes
<7626 shebet >.



36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan > one
<0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet >, that David <1732 David > my
servant <5650 <ebed > may have a light <5216 niyr > alway before
<6440 paniym > me in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the city
<5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > me
to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there < 8033 sham >.



37 And I will take <3947 laqach > thee, and thou shalt reign
<4427 malak > according to all <3605 kol > that thy soul <5315
nephesh > desireth <8378 ta>avah >, and shalt be king <4428
melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



38 And it shall be, if <0518 >im > thou wilt hearken <8085
shama< > unto all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee,
and wilt walk <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek >, and do
<6213 <asah > [that is] right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869
<ayin >, to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and
my commandments <4687 mitsvah >, as David <1732 David > my
servant <5650 <ebed > did <6213 <asah >; that I will be with
thee, and build <1129 banah > thee a sure <0539 >aman > house
<1004 bayith >, as I built <1129 banah > for David <1732 David >,
and will give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto thee.



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



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



41. And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213
<asah >, and his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, [are] they not written
<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the acts <1697
dabar > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >?



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



43 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892 <iyr

R@chab<am > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his
stead <8478 tachath >.



1Kings 12



1. And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > went <3212 yalak > to Shechem
<7927 Sh@kem >: for all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were
come <0935 bow> > to Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > to make him king
<4427 malak >.



2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jeroboam < 3379
Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <1931
huw> > was yet <5750 <owd > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, heard
<8085 shama< > [of it], (for he was fled <1272 barach > from the
presence <6440 paniym > of king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010
Sh@lomoh >, and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > dwelt < 3427 yashab >
in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >;)



3 That they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him.
And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the
congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935
bow> >, and spake <1696 dabar > unto Rehoboam < 7346 R@chab<am >,
saying <0559 >amar >,



4 Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol > grievous <7185
qashah >: now <6258 <attah > therefore make thou the grievous
<7186 qasheh > service <5656 <abodah > of thy father <1>, and
his heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > which < 0834 >aher > he
put <5414 nathan > upon us, lighter <7043 qalal >, and we will
serve <5647 <abad > thee.



5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Depart <3212 yalak > yet
<5750 <owd > [for] three <7969 shalowsh > days < 3117 yowm >,
then come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to me. And the
people <5971 <am > departed <3212 yalak >.



6 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > consulted
<3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men, that stood <5975
<amad > before Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his father <1> while he
yet lived <2416 chay >, and said <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk >
do ye advise <3289 ya<ats > that I may answer <1697 dabar > this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >?



7 And they spake <1696 dabar > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >,
If <0518 >im > thou wilt be a servant <5650 <ebed > unto this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >,
and wilt serve <5647 <abad > them, and answer <6030 <anah >
them, and speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > words <1697
dabar > to them, then they will be thy servants <5650 < ebed >
for ever.



8 But he forsook <5800 <azab > the counsel <6098 < etsah > of
the old <2205 zaqen > men, which <0834 >aher > they had given
<3289 ya<ats > him, and consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the young
<3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 gadal > up with him,
[and] which <0834 >aher > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440
paniym > him:



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



10 And the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown < 1431 gadal

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



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



12 So Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the people
<5971 <am > came <0935 bow> > to Rehoboam < 7346 R@chab<am > the
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm >, as the king <4428

<7725 shuwb > to me again <7725 shuwb > the third < 7992
sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm >.



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



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



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



16. So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saw <7200
ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened < 8085 shama< > not
unto them, the people <5971 <am > answered <1697 dabar > the
king <4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, What < 4100 mah >
portion <2506 cheleq > have we in David <1732 David > ? neither
<3808 lo> > [have we] inheritance <5159 nachalah > in the son
<1121 ben > of Jesse <3448 Yishay >: to your tents <0168 >ohel >,
O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: now <6258 <attah > see <7200 ra>ah >
to thine own house <1004 bayith >, David <1732 David > . So
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak > unto their tents
<0168 >ohel >.



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



18 Then king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > sent
<7971 shalach > Adoram <0151 >Adoram >, who < 0834 >aher > [was]
over <5921 <al > the tribute <4522 mac >; and all <3605 kol >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > stoned <7275 ragam > him with stones
<68>, that he died <4191 muwth >. Therefore king < 4428 melek >
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats > to get
<5927 <alah > him up to his chariot <4818 merkabah >, to flee
<5127 nuwc > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



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



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



21 And when Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > was come < 0935 bow> > to
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, he assembled <6950 qahal > all
<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >,
with the tribe <7626 shebet > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, an
hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > thousand
<0505 >eleph > chosen <0970 bachuwr > men, which were warriors,
to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the house <1004
bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, to bring < 7725 shuwb > the
kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346
R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



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



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



24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
>, Ye shall not go <5927 <alah > up, nor <3808 lo> > fight <3898
lacham > against <5973 <im > your brethren <0251 >ach > the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: return <7725
shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004 bayith >; for
this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > is from me. They hearkened
<8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and returned <7725 shuwb > to depart <3212
yalak >, according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



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



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



27 If <0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > people < 5971 <am > go <5927
<alah > up to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach > in the
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > at Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, then shall the heart <3820 leb > of this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > unto their lord <3068 Y@hovah >, [even] unto Rehoboam
<7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >,
and they shall kill <2026 harag > me, and go again <7725 shuwb >
to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >.



28 Whereupon the king <4428 melek > took counsel <3289 ya<ats >,
and made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <egel
> [of] gold <2091 zahab >, and said <0559 >amar > unto them, It
is too much <7227 rab > for you to go <5927 <alah > up to
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: behold <2009 hinneh > thy gods
<0430 >elohiym >, O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher >
brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of the land <0776 >erets > of
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.



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

30 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 hayah

yalak > [to worship] before <6440 paniym > the one < 0259 >echad

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



32 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ordained <6213 < asah > a feast
<2282 chag > in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh
>, on the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the month
<2320 chodesh >, like unto the feast <2282 chag > that [is] in
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the
altar <4196 mizbeach >. So <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he in
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, sacrificing <2076 zabach > unto the
calves <5695 <egel > that he had made <6213 <asah >: and he
placed <5975 <amad > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > the priests
<3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher

33 So he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >
which <0834 >aher > he had made <6213 <asah > in Bethel <1008
Beyth->El > the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day < 3117 yowm > of the
eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, [even] in the
month <2320 chodesh > which <0834 >aher > he had devised <0908
bada> > of his own heart <3820 leb >; and ordained <6213 <asah >
a feast <2282 chag > unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >: and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar
<4196 mizbeach >, and burnt <6999 qatar > incense < 6999 qatar >.



1Kings 13



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



2 And he cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar
<4196 mizbeach > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, O altar <4196 mizbeach >,
altar <4196 mizbeach >, thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, a child <1121 ben >
shall be born <3205 yalad > unto the house <1004 bayith > of
David <1732 David >, Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > by name <8034 shem

kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places that burn < 6999 qatar >
incense <6999 qatar > upon thee, and men's <0120 > adam > bones
<6106 <etsem > shall be burnt <8313 saraph > upon thee.



3 And he gave <5414 nathan > a sign <4159 mowpheth > the same
<1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm >, saying <0559 > amar >, This <2088
zeh > [is] the sign <4159 mowpheth > which <0834 > aher > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >; Behold <2009
hinneh >, the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be rent < 7167 qara< >,
and the ashes <1880 deshen > that [are] upon it shall be poured
<8210 shaphak > out.



4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek >
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > heard <8085 shama< > the saying <1697
dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 > elohiym >, which
<0834 >aher > had cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the
altar <4196 mizbeach > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, that he put
<7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand < 3027 yad > from
the altar <4196 mizbeach >, saying <0559 >amar >, Lay hold <8610
taphas > on him. And his hand <3027 yad >, which < 0834 >aher >
he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > against <5921 <al >
him, dried <3001 yabesh > up, so that he could <3201 yakol > not
pull <7725 shuwb > it in again <7725 shuwb > to him.



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

<3068 Y@hovah >.



6 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said
<0559 >amar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >,
Intreat <2470 chalah > now <4994 na> > the face <6440 paniym >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and pray
<6419 palal > for me, that my hand <3027 yad > may be restored
<7725 shuwb > me again <7725 shuwb >. And the man < 0376 >iysh >
of God <0430 >elohiym > besought <2470 chalah > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad > was
restored <7725 shuwb > him again <7725 shuwb >, and became <1961
hayah > as [it was] before <7223 ri>shown >.



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



8 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559
>amar > unto the king <4428 melek >, If <0518 > im > thou wilt
give <5414 nathan > me half <2677 chetsiy > thine house <1004
bayith >, I will not go <0935 bow> > in with thee, neither <3808
lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808
lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > in this <2088
zeh > place <4725 maqowm >:



9 For so <3651 ken > was it charged <6680 tsavah > me by the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559
>amar >, Eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem >,
nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water < 4325 mayim >, nor
<3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > by the same
way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak >.



10 So he went <3212 yalak > another <0312 >acher > way <1870
derek >, and returned <7725 shuwb > not by the way < 1870 derek >
that he came <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth-> El >.



11. Now there dwelt <3427 yashab > an old <2205 zaqen > prophet
<5030 nabiy> > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >; and his sons <1121
ben > came <0935 bow> > and told <5608 caphar > him all <3605
kol > the works <4639 ma<aseh > that the man <0376 >iysh > of
God <0430 >elohiym > had done <6213 <asah > that day <3117 yowm

<0834 >aher > he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto the king <4428
melek >, them they told <5608 caphar > also to their father <1>.



12 And their father <1> said <1696 dabar > unto them, What way
<1870 derek > went <1980 halak > he? For his sons < 1121 ben >
had seen <7200 ra>ah > what <0834 >aher > way <1870 derek > the
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > went <1980 halak >,
which <0834 >aher > came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

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



14 And went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the man <0376
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and found < 4672 matsa> > him
sitting <3427 yashab > under <8478 tachath > an oak <0424 >elah

>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > that camest < 0935 bow> > from
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >? And he said <0559 >amar >, I [am].



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

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

thee in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >:



17 For it was said <1697 dabar > to me by the word < 1697 dabar

<3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354
shathah > water <4325 mayim > there <8033 sham >, nor <3808 lo>
> turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to go < 3212 yalak > by
the way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak >.



18 He said <0559 >amar > unto him, I [am] a prophet < 5030
nabiy> > also <1571 gam > as thou [art]; and an angel <4397
mal>ak > spake <1696 dabar > unto me by the word < 1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Bring <7725
shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > with thee into <0413 >el > thine
house <1004 bayith >, that he may eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899
lechem > and drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim >. [But] he
lied <3584 kachash > unto him.



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



20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they sat <3427 yashab

dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto the
prophet <5030 nabiy> > that brought <7725 shuwb > him back <7725
shuwb >:



21 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the man <0376 > iysh > of God
<0430 >elohiym > that came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Forasmuch as thou hast
disobeyed <4784 marah > the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and hast not kept <8104 shamar > the commandment
<4687 mitsvah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > thy
God <0430 >elohiym > commanded <6680 tsavah > thee,



22 But camest <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >, and hast eaten
<0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > and drunk < 8354 shathah >
water <4325 mayim > in the place <4725 maqowm >, of the which
<0834 >aher > [the LORD] did say <1696 dabar > to thee, Eat
<0398 >akal > no <0408 >al > bread <3899 lechem >, and drink
<8354 shathah > no <0408 >al > water <4325 mayim >; thy carcase
<5038 n@belah > shall not come <0935 bow> > unto the sepulchre
<6913 qeber > of thy fathers <1>.



23. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, after <0310 > achar > he
had eaten <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem >, and after <0310
>achar > he had drunk <8354 shathah >, that he saddled <2280
chabash > for him the ass <2543 chamowr >, [to wit], for the
prophet <5030 nabiy> > whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961 hayah >
brought <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >.



24 And when he was gone <3212 yalak >, a lion <0738 > ariy > met
<4672 matsa> > him by the way <1870 derek >, and slew <4191
muwth > him: and his carcase <5038 n@belah > was cast <7993
shalak > in the way <1870 derek >, and the ass <2543 chamowr >
stood <5975 <amad > by it, the lion <0738 >ariy > also stood
<5975 <amad > by the carcase <5038 n@belah >.



25 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, men <0582 >enowsh > passed <5674
<abar > by, and saw <7200 ra>ah > the carcase < 5038 n@belah >
cast <7993 shalak > in the way <1870 derek >, and the lion <0738

and they came <0935 bow> > and told <1696 dabar > [it] in the
city <5892 <iyr > where <0834 >aher > the old <2205 zaqen >
prophet <5030 nabiy> > dwelt <3427 yashab >.



26 And when the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that brought < 7725 shuwb

shama< > [thereof], he said <0559 >amar >, It [is] the man <0376

disobedient <4784 marah > unto the word <6310 peh > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >: therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath
delivered <5414 nathan > him unto the lion <0738 > ariy >, which
hath torn <7665 shabar > him, and slain <4191 muwth > him,
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > unto him.



27 And he spake <1696 dabar > to his sons <1121 ben > , saying
<0559 >amar >, Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr >.
And they saddled <2280 chabash > [him].



28 And he went <3212 yalak > and found <4672 matsa> > his
carcase <5038 n@belah > cast <7993 shalak > in the way <1870
derek >, and the ass <2543 chamowr > and the lion < 0738 >ariy >
standing <5975 <amad > by the carcase <5038 n@belah >: the lion
<0738 >ariy > had not eaten <0398 >akal > the carcase <5038
n@belah >, nor <3808 lo> > torn <7665 shabar > the ass <2543
chamowr >.



29 And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > took <5375 nasa> > up the
carcase <5038 n@belah > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430
>elohiym >, and laid <3241 Yaniym > it upon the ass <2543
chamowr >, and brought <7725 shuwb > it back <7725 shuwb >: and
the old <2205 zaqen > prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <0935 bow> >
to the city <5892 <iyr >, to mourn <5594 caphad > and to bury
<6912 qabar > him.



30 And he laid <3241 Yaniym > his carcase <5038 n@belah > in
his own grave <6913 qeber >; and they mourned <5594 caphad >
over <5921 <al > him, [saying], Alas <1945 howy >, my brother
<0251 >ach >!



31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, after <0310 > achar > he
had buried <6912 qabar > him, that he spake <0559 > amar > to his
sons <1121 ben >, saying <0559 >amar >, When I am dead <4191
muwth >, then bury <6912 qabar > me in the sepulchre < 6913 qeber

bones <6106 <etsem > beside <0681 >etsel > his bones <6106
<etsem >:



32 For the saying <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he cried
<7121 qara> > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > the altar <4196 mizbeach > in
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol

which <0834 >aher > [are] in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >, shall surely <3588 kiy > come < 1961 hayah >
to pass.



33 After <0310 >achar > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > returned <7725 shuwb > not from his
evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >, but made < 6213 <asah > again
<7725 shuwb > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people <5971

whosoever would <2655 chaphets >, he consecrated him, and he
became <1961 hayah > [one] of the priests <3548 kohen > of the
high <1116 bamah > places.



34 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 hayah

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, even to cut <3582 kachad > [it] off,
and to destroy <8045 shamad > [it] from off the face < 6440

1Kings 14



1. At that time <6256 <eth > Abijah <29> the son <1121 ben > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > fell sick <2470 chalah >.



2 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > to his wife
<0802 >ishshah >, Arise <6965 quwm >, I pray < 4994 na> > thee,
and disguise <8138 shanah > thyself, that thou be not known
<3045 yada< > to be the wife <0802 >ishshah > of Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am >; and get <1980 halak > thee to Shiloh < 7887 Shiyloh >:
behold <2009 hinneh >, there <8033 sham > [is] Ahijah <0281
>Achiyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, which < 1931 huw> > told
<1696 dabar > me that [I should be] king <4428 melek > over
<5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 < am >.



3 And take <3947 laqach > with thee ten <6235 <eser > loaves
<3899 lechem >, and cracknels <5350 niqqud >, and a cruse <1228
baqbuk > of honey <1706 d@bash >, and go <0935 bow> > to him: he
shall tell <5046 nagad > thee what <4100 mah > shall become
<1961 hayah > of the child <5288 na<ar >.



4 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 > ishshah > did
<6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >, and arose <6965 quwm >, and went
<3212 yalak > to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and came < 0935 bow> >
to the house <1004 bayith > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah >. But
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > could <3201 yakol > not see <7200 ra>ah

his age <7869 seyb >.



5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahijah
<0281 >Achiyah >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, the wife <0802 >ishshah

for he [is] sick <2470 chalah >: thus <2090 zoh > and thus <2088

when she cometh <0935 bow> > in, that she shall feign <5234
nakar > herself [to be] another <5234 nakar > [woman].



6 And it was [so], when Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > heard <8085
shama< > the sound <6963 qowl > of her feet <7272 regel >, as
she came <0935 bow> > in at the door <6607 pethach >, that he
said <0559 >amar >, Come <0935 bow> > in, thou wife <0802

feignest <5234 nakar > thou thyself [to be] another < 5234 nakar

qasheh > [tidings].



7. Go <3212 yalak >, tell <0559 >amar > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Forasmuch as I
exalted <7311 ruwm > thee from among <8432 tavek > the people
<5971 <am >, and made <5414 nathan > thee prince <5057 nagiyd >
over <5921 <al > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,



8 And rent <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > away from
the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >, and gave <5414
nathan > it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been <1961 hayah > as
my servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 David >, who <0834 >aher >
kept <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah >, and who
<0834 >aher > followed me with all <3605 kol > his heart <3824
lebab >, to do <6213 <asah > [that] only <7535 raq > [which
<1931 huw> > was] right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869 <ayin

9 But hast done <6213 <asah > evil <7489 ra<a< > above all
<3605 kol > that were before <6440 paniym > thee: for thou hast
gone <3212 yalak > and made <6213 <asah > thee other <0312

images, to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >, and hast cast
<7993 shalak > me behind <0310 >achar > thy back <1458 gav >:



10 Therefore, behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> >
evil <7451 ra< > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am >, and will cut <3772 karath > off from Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am > him that pisseth <8366 shathan > against the wall
<7023 qiyr >, [and] him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left
<5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and will take <1197
ba<ar > away the remnant <0310 >achar > of the house <1004
bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, as a man taketh <1197
ba<ar > away dung <1557 galal >, till <5704 <ad > it be all
<8552 tamam > gone.



11 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > in
the city <5892 <iyr > shall the dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398

sadeh > shall the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air < 8064 shamayim

<1696 dabar > [it].



12 Arise <6965 quwm > thou therefore, get <3212 yalak > thee to
thine own house <1004 bayith >: [and] when thy feet < 7272 regel

yeled > shall die <4191 muwth >.



13 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall mourn
<5594 caphad > for him, and bury <6912 qabar > him: for he only
<0905 bad > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > shall come <0935 bow> >
to the grave <6913 qeber >, because <3282 ya<an > in him there
is found <4672 matsa> > [some] good <2896 towb > thing <1697

14 Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall raise <6965 quwm >
him up a king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, who <0834 >aher > shall cut <3772 karath > off the
house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > that day <3117
yowm >: but what <4100 mah >? even <1571 gam > now <6258 <attah

15 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall smite <5221 nakah >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as a reed <7070 qaneh > is shaken <5110
nuwd > in the water <4325 mayim >, and he shall root < 5428
nathash > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of this < 2063 zo>th >
good <2896 towb > land <0127 >adamah >, which < 0834 >aher > he
gave <5414 nathan > to their fathers <1>, and shall scatter
<2219 zarah > them beyond <5676 <eber > the river <5104 nahar >,
because <0834 >aher > they have made <6213 <asah > their groves
<0842 >asherah >, provoking the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to anger
<3707 ka<ac >.



16 And he shall give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > up
because <1558 galal > of the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am >, who <0834 >aher > did sin < 2398 chata> >, and
who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398
chata> >.



17 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 > ishshah > arose
<6965 quwm >, and departed <3212 yalak >, and came <0935 bow> >
to Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >: [and] when she came <0935 bow> > to
the threshold <5592 caph > of the door <1004 bayith >, the child
<5288 na<ar > died <4191 muwth >;



18 And they buried <6912 qabar > him; and all <3605 kol >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > mourned <5594 caphad > for him,
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by the hand <3027 yad

prophet <5030 nabiy> >.



19 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, how <0834 >aher > he warred <3898
lacham >, and how <0834 >aher > he reigned <4427 malak >, behold
<2009 hinneh >, they [are] written <3789 kathab > in the book
<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



20 And the days <3117 yowm > which <0834 >aher > Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am > reigned <4427 malak > [were] two <8147 sh@nayim > and
twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >: and he slept <7901
shakab > with his fathers <1>, and Nadab <5070 Nadab > his son
<1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead < 8478 tachath >.



21. And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > reigned <4427 malak > in Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >. Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > [was] forty <0705

<1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak >, and he reigned
<4427 malak > seventeen <7651 sheba< > years < 8141 shaneh > in
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the city <5892 <iyr > which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > did choose <0977 bachar >
out of all <3605 kol > the tribes <7626 shebet > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, to put <7760 suwm > his name <8034 shem > there
<8033 sham >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >
[was] Naamah <5279 Na<amah > an Ammonitess <5984 < Ammowniy >.



22 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra<

they provoked him to jealousy <7065 qana> > with their sins
<2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > they had committed <2398
chata> >, above all <3605 kol > that their fathers <1> had done
<6213 <asah >.



23 For they also <1571 gam > built <1129 banah > them high
<1364 gaboahh > places, and images <4676 matstsebah >, and
groves <0842 >asherah >, on <5921 <al > every <3605 kol > high

every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree < 6086 <ets >.



24 And there were also <1571 gam > sodomites <6945 qadesh > in
the land <0776 >erets >: [and] they did <6213 < asah > according
to all <3605 kol > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > of the
nations <1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549
chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Rehoboam
<7346 R@chab<am >, [that] Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq > king <4428
melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > came <5927 < alah > up against
<5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >:



26 And he took <3947 laqach > away the treasures <0214 >owtsar

the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house
<1004 bayith >; he even took <3947 laqach > away all <3605 kol >:
and he took <3947 laqach > away all <3605 kol > the shields
<4043 magen > of gold <2091 zahab > which <0834 >aher > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah >.



27 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made <6213
<asah > in their stead <8478 tachath > brasen < 5178 n@chosheth >
shields <4043 magen >, and committed <6485 paqad > [them] unto
the hands <3027 yad > of the chief <8269 sar > of the guard
<7323 ruwts >, which kept <8104 shamar > the door < 6607 pethach

28 And it was [so], when <1767 day > the king <4428 melek >
went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, that the guard <7323 ruwts > bare <5375 nasa> >
them, and brought <7725 shuwb > them back <7725 shuwb > into
<0413 >el > the guard <7323 ruwts > chamber < 8372 ta> >.



29 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did
<6213 <asah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book
<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



30 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn >
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > all
<3605 kol > [their] days <3117 yowm >.



31 And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1>
in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >. And his
mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Naamah <5279
Na<amah > an Ammonitess <5984 <Ammowniy >. And Abijam <38> his
son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath

1Kings 15



1. Now in the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king < 4428
melek > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat
<5028 N@bat > reigned <4427 malak > Abijam <38> over <5921 <al >
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



2 Three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427
malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's
<0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Maachah < 4601 Ma<akah >, the
daughter <1323 bath > of Abishalom <53>.



3 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403
chatta>ah > of his father <1>, which <0834 > aher > he had done
<6213 <asah > before <6440 paniym > him: and his heart <3824
lebab > was not perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD < 3068
Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >, as the heart < 3824 lebab >
of David <1732 David > his father <1>.



4 Nevertheless <3588 kiy > for David's <1732 David > sake <4616
ma<an > did the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >
give <5414 nathan > him a lamp <5216 niyr > in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, to set <6965 quwm > up his son <1121 ben > after
<0310 >achar > him, and to establish <5975 <amad > Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >:



5 Because <0834 >aher > David <1732 David > did <6213 <asah >
[that which was] right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and turned <5493 cuwr > not aside
from any <3605 kol > [thing] that he commanded <6680 tsavah >
him all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of his life <2416 chay

<0223 >Uwriyah > the Hittite <2850 Chittiy >.



6 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn >
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > all
<3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of his life < 2416 chay >.



7 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Abijam <38>, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah >,
[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher >
of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >? And there was war <4421 milchamah >
between <0996 beyn > Abijam <38> and Jeroboam < 3379 Yarob<am >.



8 And Abijam <38> slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1>;
and they buried <6912 qabar > him in the city <5892 < iyr > of
David <1732 David >: and Asa <0609 >Aca> > his son <1121 ben >
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



9. And in the twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > reigned <4427 malak > Asa <0609 > Aca> > over <5921
<al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



10 And forty <0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 > echad > years
<8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name < 8034 shem >
[was] Maachah <4601 Ma<akah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of
Abishalom <53>.



11 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > did <6213 <asah > [that which was]
right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, as [did] David <1732 David > his father < 1>.



12 And he took <5674 <abar > away the sodomites < 6945 qadesh >
out of the land <0776 >erets >, and removed <5493 cuwr > all
<3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > that his fathers <1> had
made <6213 <asah >.



13 And also <1571 gam > Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > his mother
<0517 >em >, even her he removed <5493 cuwr > from [being] queen
<1377 g@biyrah >, because <0834 >aher > she had made <6213 <asah
> an idol <4656 miphletseth > in a grove <0842 > asherah >; and
Asa <0609 >Aca> > destroyed <3772 karath > her idol <4656
miphletseth >, and burnt <8313 saraph > [it] by the brook <5158
nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown >.



14 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not removed < 5493
cuwr >: nevertheless <7535 raq > Asa's <0609 > Aca> > heart <3824
lebab > was perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm >.



15 And he brought <0935 bow> > in the things which his father
<1> had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, and the things which himself
had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, into the house <1004 bayith > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, silver <3701 keceph >, and gold <2091
zahab >, and vessels <3627 k@liy >.



16 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > Asa
<0609 >Aca> > and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm >.



17 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and built <1129 banah > Ramah < 7414 Ramah >,
that he might not suffer <5414 nathan > any to go <3318 yatsa> >
out or come <0935 bow> > in to Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



18 Then Asa <0609 >Aca> > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol >
the silver <3701 keceph > and the gold <2091 zahab > [that were]
left <3498 yathar > in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the
treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house
<1004 bayith >, and delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand
<3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >: and king <4428 melek
> Asa <0609 >Aca> > sent <7971 shalach > them to Benhadad <1131
Binnuwy >, the son <1121 ben > of Tabrimon <2886 Tabrimmown >,
the son <1121 ben > of Hezion <2383 Chezyown >, king <4428 melek
> of Syria <0758 >Aram >, that dwelt <3427 yashab > at Damascus
<1834 Dammeseq >, saying <0559 >amar >,



19 [There is] a league <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > me
and thee, [and] between <0996 beyn > my father <1> and thy
father <1>: behold <2009 hinneh >, I have sent < 7971 shalach >
unto thee a present <7810 shachad > of silver <3701 keceph > and
gold <2091 zahab >; come <3212 yalak > and break < 6565 parar >
thy league <1285 b@riyth > with Baasha <1201 Ba< sha> > king
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, that he may depart
<5927 <alah > from me.



20 So Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto
king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> >, and sent <7971 shalach >
the captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <2428 chayil > which <0834
>aher > he had against <5921 <al > the cities < 5892 <iyr > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and smote <5221 nakah > Ijon <5859
<Iyown >, and Dan <1835 Dan >, and Abelbethmaachah <62>, and all
<3605 kol > Cinneroth <3672 Kinn@rowth >, with all <3605 kol >
the land <0776 >erets > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >.



21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Baasha <1201 Ba<sha>
> heard <8085 shama< > [thereof], that he left < 2308 chadal >
off building <1129 banah > of Ramah <7414 Ramah >, and dwelt
<3427 yashab > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



22 Then king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > made <6213 <asah >
a proclamation <8085 shama< > throughout all <3605 kol > Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >; none <0369 >ayin > [was] exempted <5355 naqiy

<7414 Ramah >, and the timber <6086 <ets > thereof, wherewith
<0834 >aher > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > had builded <1129 banah >;
and king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > built <1129 banah >
with them Geba <1387 Geba< > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, and
Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.



23 The rest <3499 yether > of all <3605 kol > the acts <1697
dabar > of Asa <0609 >Aca> >, and all <3605 kol > his might
<1369 g@buwrah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did < 6213 <asah >,
and the cities <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > he built <1129
banah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612
cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >? Nevertheless <7535 raq > in
the time <6256 <eth > of his old <2209 ziqnah > age he was
diseased <2470 chalah > in his feet <7272 regel >.



24 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers
<1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1> in the
city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1>: and
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > his son <1121 ben > reigned
<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



25. And Nadab <5070 Nadab > the son <1121 ben > of Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year
<8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king < 4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned <4427 malak > over < 5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > two <8147 sh@nayim > years <8141 shaneh

26 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked < 3212 yalak > in
the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in his sin <2403
chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



27 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah
<0281 >Achiyah >, of the house <1004 bayith > of Issachar <3485
Yissaskar >, conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him;
and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > smote <5221 nakah > him at Gibbethon
<1405 Gibb@thown >, which <0834 >aher > [belonged] to the
Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >; for Nadab <5070 Nadab > and all
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > laid siege < 6696 tsuwr > to
Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >.



28 Even in the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of
Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
did Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slay <4191 muwth > him, and reigned
<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when he reigned < 4427
malak >, [that] he smote <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > the house
<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; he left <7604
sha>ar > not to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > any < 3605 kol > that
breathed <5397 n@shamah >, until <5704 <ad > he had destroyed
<8045 shamad > him, according unto the saying <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696
dabar > by his servant <5650 <ebed > Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the
Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy >:



30 Because <5921 <al > of the sins <2403 chatta> ah > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he sinned <2398
chata> >, and which <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el

<0834 >aher > he provoked the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger < 3707 ka<ac >.



31 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Nadab <5070 Nadab >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah

cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?



32 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > Asa
<0609 >Aca> > and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm >.



33 In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa
<0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah > began
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah <0281

<6242 <esriym > and four <0702 >arba< > years <8141 shaneh >.



34 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked < 3212 yalak > in
the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and in his
sin <2403 chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel

1Kings 16



1. Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son < 1121 ben > of
Hanani <2607 Chananiy > against <5921 <al > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha>

2 Forasmuch as I exalted <7311 ruwm > thee out of the dust
<6083 <aphar >, and made <5414 nathan > thee prince <5057 nagiyd

and thou hast walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and hast made my people < 5971 <am >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, to provoke me to
anger <3707 ka<ac > with their sins <2403 chatta> ah >;



3 Behold <2005 hen >, I will take <1197 ba<ar > away the
posterity <0310 >achar > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and the
posterity <0310 >achar > of his house <1004 bayith >; and will
make <5414 nathan > thy house <1004 bayith > like the house
<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben >
of Nebat <5028 N@bat >.



4 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Baasha <1201 Ba< sha> > in the
city <5892 <iyr > shall the dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398 >akal >;
and him that dieth <4191 muwth > of his in the fields < 7704
sadeh > shall the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air < 8064 shamayim

5 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and what <0834 >aher > he did <6213
<asah >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, [are] they not written
<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles
<1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >?



6 So Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slept <7901 shakab > with his
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Tirzah <8656
Tirtsah >: and Elah <0425 >Elah > his son <1121 ben > reigned
<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



7 And also <1571 gam > by the hand <3027 yad > of the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son < 1121 ben > of Hanani
<2607 Chananiy > came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <0413 >el > Baasha <1201
Ba<sha> >, and against <0413 >el > his house <1004 bayith >,
even for all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that he did <6213
<asah > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
in provoking him to anger <3707 ka<ac > with the work <4639
ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad >, in being <1961 hayah > like
the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; and
because <0834 >aher > he killed <5221 nakah > him.



8 In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and sixth <8337 shesh > year
<8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king < 4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > began Elah <0425 >Elah > the son <1121 ben > of
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, two years
<8141 shaneh >.



9 And his servant <5650 <ebed > Zimri <2174 Zimriy >, captain
<8269 sar > of half <4276 machatsiyth > [his] chariots <7393
rekeb >, conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 < al > him, as he
was in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, drinking <8354 shathah > himself
drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the house <1004 bayith > of Arza <0777
>artsa> > steward <5921 <al > of [his] house <1004 bayith > in
Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



10 And Zimri <2174 Zimriy > went <0935 bow> > in and smote
<5221 nakah > him, and killed <4191 muwth > him, in the twenty
<6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh >
of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah
>, and reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when he began to reign
<4427 malak >, as soon as he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al >
his throne <3678 kicce> >, [that] he slew <5221 nakah > all
<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha < 1201 Ba<sha> >:
he left <7604 sha>ar > him not one that pisseth <8366 shathan >
against a wall <7023 qiyr >, neither of his kinsfolks < 1350
ga>al >, nor of his friends <7453 rea< >.



12 Thus did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > destroy <8045 shamad > all
<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha < 1201 Ba<sha> >,
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el >
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > by Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the prophet <5030
nabiy> >,



13 For all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Baasha
<1201 Ba<sha> >, and the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Elah <0425
>Elah > his son <1121 ben >, by which <0834 > aher > they sinned
<2398 chata> >, and by which <0834 >aher > they made Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, in provoking the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el >
to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their vanities <1892 hebel >.



14 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Elah <0425 >Elah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah
>, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book < 5612
cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?



15. In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< >
year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > reign <4427
malak > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > in Tirzah <8656
Tirtsah >. And the people <5971 <am > [were] encamped <2583
chanah > against <5921 <al > Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >, which
<0834 >aher > [belonged] to the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >.



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

hath conspired <7194 qashar >, and hath also <1571 gam > slain
<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek >: wherefore all <3605 kol >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > made Omri <6018 <Omriy > , the captain
<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >, king < 4427 malak > over
<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117 yowm > in the
camp <4264 machaneh >.



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



18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Zimri <2174 Zimriy >
saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 <iyr > was taken <3920
lakad >, that he went <0935 bow> > into <0413 > el > the palace
<0759 >armown > of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >,
and burnt <8313 saraph > the king's <4428 melek > house <1004
bayith > over <5921 <al > him with fire <0784 > esh >, and died
<4191 muwth >,



19 For his sins <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 > aher > he sinned
<2398 chata> > in doing <6213 <asah > evil < 7451 ra< > in the
sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, in walking
<3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am >, and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher >
he did <6213 <asah >, to make Israel <3478 Yisra> el > to sin
<2398 chata> >.



20 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Zimri <2174 Zimriy >, and his treason <7195 qesher > that he
wrought <7194 qashar >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in
the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?



21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > divided <2505 chalaq > into two <2677 chetsiy > parts
<2677 chetsiy >: half <2677 chetsiy > of the people <5971 <am >
followed Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527
Giynath >, to make him king <4427 malak >; and half < 2677
chetsiy > followed <0310 >achar > Omri <6018 < Omriy >.



22 But the people <5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Omri
<6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people <5971
<am > that followed <0310 >achar > Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son
<1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath >: so Tibni < 8402 Tibni >
died <4191 muwth >, and Omri <6018 <Omriy > reigned <4427 malak
>.



23 In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and first <0259 >echad >
year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427
malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, twelve years
<8141 shaneh >: six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned
<4427 malak > he in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



24 And he bought <7069 qanah > the hill <2022 har > Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > for two talents <3603
kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and built <1129 banah > on
<0853 >eth > the hill <2022 har >, and called < 7121 qara> > the
name <8034 shem > of the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher >
he built <1129 banah >, after <5921 <al > the name <8034 shem >
of Shemer <8106 Shemer >, owner <0113 >adown > of the hill <2022
har >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



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



26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way <1870
derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of
Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > wherewith
<0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398
chata> >, to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God < 0430 >elohiym
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka< ac > with their
vanities <1892 hebel >.



27 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Omri <6018 <Omriy > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah >,
and his might <1369 g@buwrah > that he shewed <6213 < asah >,
[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher >
of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?



28 So Omri <6018 <Omriy > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers
<1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >:
and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak
> in his stead <8478 tachath >.



29. And in the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and eighth < 8083
sh@moneh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 > Aca> > king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the
son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 malak >
over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Shom@rown > twenty <6242 <esriym > and two <8147 sh@nayim >
years <8141 shaneh >.



30 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018
<Omriy > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > above all < 3605 kol > that
[were] before <6440 paniym > him.



31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as if it had been a light
<7043 qalal > thing for him to walk <3212 yalak > in the sins
<2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben
> of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, that he took <3947 laqach > to wife
<0802 >ishshah > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > the daughter <1323
bath > of Ethbaal <0856 >Ethba<al > king <4428 melek > of the
Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy >, and went <3212 yalak > and served
<5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and worshipped <7812 shachah >
him.



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



33 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842
>asherah >; and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > did < 6213 <asah > more
<3254 yacaph > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger < 3707 ka<ac >
than all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him.



34 In his days <3117 yowm > did Hiel <2419 Chiy>el > the
Bethelite <1017 Beyth ha->Eliy > build <1129 banah > Jericho
<3405 Y@riychow >: he laid the foundation <3245 yacad > thereof
in Abiram <48> his firstborn <1060 b@kowr >, and set <5324
natsab > up the gates <1817 deleth > thereof in his youngest
<6810 tsa<iyr > [son] Segub <7687 S@guwb >, according to the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834
>aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the
son <1121 ben > of Nun <5126 Nuwn >.



1Kings 17



1. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >,
[who was] of the inhabitants <8453 towshab > of Gilead < 1568
Gil<ad >, said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, [As] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834
>aher > I stand <5975 <amad >, there shall not be dew <2919 tal

shaneh >, but according <6310 peh > to my word <1697 dabar >.



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



3 Get <3212 yalak > thee hence <2088 zeh >, and turn <6437
panah > thee eastward <6924 qedem >, and hide <5641 cathar >
thyself by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth >,
that [is] before Jordan <3383 Yarden >.



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



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



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



7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a while
<3117 yowm >, that the brook <5158 nachal > dried < 3001 yabesh >
up, because <3588 kiy > there had <1961 hayah > been <1961 hayah
> no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem > in the land <0776 >erets >.



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



9 Arise <6965 quwm >, get <3212 yalak > thee to Zarephath <6886
Tsar@phath >, which <0834 >aher > [belongeth] to Zidon <6721
Tsiydown >, and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >: behold
<2009 hinneh >, I have commanded <6680 tsavah > a widow <0490
>almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > there <8033 sham > to sustain
<3557 kuwl > thee.



10 So he arose <6965 quwm > and went <3212 yalak > to Zarephath
<6886 Tsar@phath >. And when he came <0935 bow> > to the gate
<6607 pethach > of the city <5892 <iyr >, behold <2009 hinneh >,
the widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > [was] there
<8033 sham > gathering <7197 qashash > of sticks < 6086 <ets >:
and he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >,
Fetch <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a little <4592
m@<at > water <4325 mayim > in a vessel <3627 k@liy >, that I
may drink <8354 shathah >.



11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach >
[it], he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >,
Bring <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a morsel <6595
path > of bread <3899 lechem > in thine hand <3027 yad >.



12 And she said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay >, I have <3426 yesh
> not a cake <4580 ma<owg >, but an handful of meal <7058 qemach

shemen > in a cruse <6835 tsappachath >: and, behold < 2005 hen >,
I [am] gathering <7197 qashash > two <8147 sh@nayim > sticks
<6086 <ets >, that I may go <0935 bow> > in and dress <6213
<asah > it for me and my son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398
>akal > it, and die <4191 muwth >.



13 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto her, Fear
<3372 yare> > not; go <0935 bow> > [and] do < 6213 <asah > as
thou hast said <0559 >amar >: but make <6213 <asah > me thereof
<8033 sham > a little <6996 qatan > cake <5692 < uggah > first
<7223 ri>shown >, and bring <3318 yatsa> > [it] unto me, and
after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 <asah > for thee and for thy
son <1121 ben >.



14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, The
barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > shall not waste <3615
kalah >, neither <3808 lo> > shall the cruse <6835 tsappachath >
of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2637 chacer >, until < 5704 <ad > the
day <3117 yowm > [that] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sendeth <5414
nathan > rain <1653 geshem > upon the earth <0127 > adamah >.



15 And she went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according
to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >: and she,
and he, and her house <1004 bayith >, did <6213 <asah > eat
<0398 >akal > [many] days <3117 yowm >.



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



17. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 > achar >
these <0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, [that] the son <1121
ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah >, the mistress < 1172 ba<alah

sickness <2483 choliy > was so <3966 m@<od > sore <2389 chazaq >,
that there was no <3808 lo> > breath <5397 n@shamah > left
<3498 yathar > in him.



18 And she said <0559 >amar > unto Elijah <0452 > Eliyah >, What
<4100 mah > have I to do with thee, O thou man <0376 > iysh > of
God <0430 >elohiym >? art thou come <0935 bow> > unto me to call
<2142 zakar > my sin <5771 <avon > to remembrance <2142 zakar >,
and to slay <4191 muwth > my son <1121 ben >?



19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto her, Give <5414 nathan > me
thy son <1121 ben >. And he took <3947 laqach > him out of her
bosom <2436 cheyq >, and carried <5927 <alah > him up into <0413
>el > a loft <5944 <aliyah >, where he abode < 3427 yashab >, and
laid <7901 shakab > him upon his own bed <4296 mittah >.



20 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
and said <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430
>elohiym >, hast thou also brought evil <7489 ra<a< > upon the
widow <0490 >almanah > with whom <0834 >aher > I sojourn <1481
guwr >, by slaying <4191 muwth > her son <1121 ben >?



21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child <3206
yeled > three <7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am >, and cried
<7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559
>amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 > elohiym >, I pray
<4994 na> > thee, let this <2088 zeh > child's < 3206 yeled >
soul <5315 nephesh > come <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > him
again <7725 shuwb >.



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

23 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > the child
<3206 yeled >, and brought <3381 yarad > him down < 3381 yarad >
out of the chamber <5944 <aliyah > into the house < 1004 bayith >,
and delivered <5414 nathan > him unto his mother <0517 >em >:
and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar >, See <7200 ra>ah >,
thy son <1121 ben > liveth <2416 chay >.



24 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 > amar > to Elijah
<0452 >Eliyah >, Now <6258 <attah > by this < 2088 zeh > I know
<3045 yada< > that thou [art] a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430

Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh > [is] truth <0571 >emeth >.



1Kings 18



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass [after] many <7227 rab >
days <3117 yowm >, that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 > Eliyah > in the
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, saying <0559 >amar
>, Go <3212 yalak >, shew <7200 ra>ah > thyself unto Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab >; and I will send <5414 nathan > rain < 4306 matar >
upon the earth <0127 >adamah >.



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



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



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



5 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto Obadiah
<5662 <Obadyah >, Go <3212 yalak > into the land <0776 >erets >,
unto all <3605 kol > fountains <4599 ma<yan > of water <4325
mayim >, and unto all brooks <5158 nachal >: peradventure <0194
>uwlay > we may find <4672 matsa> > grass <2682 chatsiyr > to
save <2421 chayah > the horses <5483 cuwc > and mules <6505
pered > alive <2421 chayah >, that we lose <3772 karath > not
all <3605 kol > the beasts <0929 b@hemah >.



6 So they divided <2505 chalaq > the land <0776 > erets >
between them to pass <5674 <abar > throughout it: Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab > went <1980 halak > one <0259 > echad > way <1870 derek
> by himself, and Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went < 1980 halak >
another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself.



7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way < 1870 derek >,
behold <2009 hinneh >, Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > met <7125 qir>ah >
him: and he knew <5234 nakar > him, and fell <5307 naphal > on
<5921 <al > his face <6440 paniym >, and said < 0559 >amar >,
[Art] thou that my lord <0113 >adown > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >?



8 And he answered <0559 >amar > him, I [am]: go < 3212 yalak >,
tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown >, Behold <2009 hinneh
>, Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [is here].



9 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > have I sinned
<2398 chata> >, that thou wouldest deliver <5414 nathan > thy
servant <5650 <ebed > into the hand <3027 yad > of Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab >, to slay <4191 muwth > me?



10 [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 > elohiym >
liveth <2416 chay >, there is no <0518 >im > nation <1471 gowy >
or kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, whither my lord <0113 > adown > hath
not sent <7971 shalach > to seek <1245 baqash > thee: and when
they said <0559 >amar >, [He is] not [there]; he took an oath
<7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > and nation <1471
gowy >, that they found <4672 matsa> > thee not.



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



12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [as soon as] I am
gone <3212 yalak > from thee, that the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry <5375 nasa> > thee whither
I know <3045 yada< > not; and [so] when I come <0935 bow> > and
tell <5046 nagad > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, and he cannot <3808 lo>
> find <4672 matsa> > thee, he shall slay <2026 harag > me: but
I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > from my youth <5271 na<uwr >.



13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 > adown > what I
did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026 harag
> the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, how I
hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of the
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty <2572
chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah >, and fed < 3557 kuwl >
them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > ?



14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Go <3212
yalak >, tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 > adown >, Behold
<2009 hinneh >, Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [is here]: and he shall
slay <2026 harag > me.



15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth < 2416 chay >,
before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad >,
I will surely <3588 kiy > shew <7200 ra>ah > myself unto him to
day <3117 yowm >.



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



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



18 And he answered <0559 >amar >, I have not troubled <5916
<akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; but thou, and thy father's <1>
house <1004 bayith >, in that ye have forsaken <5800 < azab > the
commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al >.



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

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 > asherah > four
<0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah >, which eat <0398 >akal > at
Jezebel's <0348 >Iyzebel > table <7979 shulchan >.



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



21. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, and said < 0559 >amar >, How
<5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between
<5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph >? if
<0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [be] God < 0430 >elohiym >,
follow him: but if <0518 >im > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, [then] follow
him. And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030 < anah > him not a
word <1697 dabar >.



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



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



24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your
gods <0430 >elohiym >, and I will call <7121 qara> > on the name
<8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the God <0430
>elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh >,
let him be God <0430 >elohiym >. And all <3605 kol > the people
<5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said < 0559 >amar >, It is
well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar >.



25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, Choose <0977
bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for
yourselves, and dress <6213 <asah > [it] first <7223 ri>shown >;
for ye [are] many <7227 rab >; and call <7121 qara> > on the
name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430 >elohiym >, but put <7760
suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh > [under].



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



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



28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud, and cut <1413 gadad >
themselves after their manner <4941 mishpat > with knives <2719
chereb > and lancets <7420 romach >, till <5704 < ad > the blood
<1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them.



29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when midday <6672 tsohar
> was past <5674 <abar >, and they prophesied < 5012 naba> >
until <5704 <ad > the [time] of the offering <5927 <alah > of
the [evening] sacrifice <4503 minchah >, that [there was]
neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl >, nor < 0369 >ayin > any
to answer <6030 <anah >, nor <0369 >ayin > any that regarded
<7182 qesheb >.



30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all <3605
kol > the people <5971 <am >, Come <5066 nagash > near <5066
nagash > unto me. And all <3605 kol > the people < 5971 <am >
came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto him. And he
repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > [that was] broken <2040 harac > down.



31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve stones
<68>, according to the number <4557 micpar > of the tribes <7626
shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya< aqob >, unto
whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Israel <3478
Yisra>el > shall be thy name <8034 shem >:



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



33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order
<6186 <arak >, and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par >
in pieces, and laid <7760 suwm > [him] on <5921 <al > the wood
<6086 <ets >, and said <0559 >amar >, Fill < 4390 male> > four
<0702 >arba< > barrels <3537 kad > with water <4325 mayim >, and
pour <3332 yatsaq > [it] on <5921 <al > the burnt <5930 <olah >
sacrifice, and on <5921 <al > the wood <6086 <ets >.



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



35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439
cabiyb > about the altar <4196 mizbeach >; and he filled <4390
male> > the trench <8565 tan > also <1571 gam > with water <4325
mayim >.



36 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at [the time of] the
offering <5927 <alah > of the [evening] sacrifice < 4503 minchah
>, that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came
<5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash >, and said <0559 >amar >, LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85>, Isaac
<3327 Yitschaq >, and of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, let it be
known <3045 yada< > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > that thou
[art] God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra> el >, and
[that] I [am] thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and [that] I have done
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 > el-leh > things <1697
dabar > at thy word <1697 dabar >.



37 Hear <6030 <anah > me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, hear <6030
<anah > me, that this <2088 zeh > people <5971 < am > may know
<3045 yada< > that thou [art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430
>elohiym >, and [that] thou hast turned <5437 cabab > their
heart <3820 leb > back <0322 >achoranniyth > again <0322
>achoranniyth >.



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



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



40 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Take <8610 taphas > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168
Ba<al >; let not one <0376 >iysh > of them escape <4422 malat >.
And they took <8610 taphas > them: and Elijah <0452 > Eliyah >
brought <3381 yarad > them down <3281 Ya<lam > to the brook
<5158 nachal > Kishon <7028 Qiyshown >, and slew < 7819 shachat >
them there <8033 sham >.



41. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab >, Get <5927 <alah > thee up, eat <0398 >akal >
and drink <8354 shathah >; for [there is] a sound <6963 qowl >
of abundance <1995 hamown > of rain <1653 geshem >.



42 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <5927 <alah > up to eat <0398
>akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >. And Elijah < 0452 >Eliyah >
went <5927 <alah > up to the top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760
Karmel >; and he cast <1457 gahar > himself down < 1457 gahar >
upon the earth <0776 >erets >, and put <7760 suwm > his face
<6440 paniym > between <0996 beyn > his knees < 1290 berek >,



43 And said <0559 >amar > to his servant <5288 na< ar >, Go
<5927 <alah > up now <4994 na> >, look <5027 nabat > toward
<1870 derek > the sea <3220 yam >. And he went < 5927 <alah > up,
and looked <5027 nabat >, and said <0559 >amar >, [There is]
nothing. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >.



44 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seventh < 7637
sh@biy<iy > time, that he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009
hinneh >, there ariseth <5927 <alah > a little < 6996 qatan >
cloud <5645 <ab > out of the sea <3220 yam >, like a man's <0376

<alah > up, say <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, Prepare
<0631 >acar > [thy chariot], and get <3381 yarad > thee down
<3381 yarad >, that the rain <1653 geshem > stop < 6113 <atsar >
thee not.



45 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the mean while < 3541
koh >, that the heaven <8064 shamayim > was black < 6937 qadar >
with clouds <5645 <ab > and wind <7307 ruwach >, and there was a
great <1419 gadowl > rain <1653 geshem >. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Yizr@<e>l >.



46 And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was on
<0413 >el > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >; and he girded <8151 shanac >
up his loins <4975 mothen >, and ran <7323 ruwts > before <6440
paniym > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the entrance < 0935 bow> > of
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >.



1Kings 19



1. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > told <5046 nagad > Jezebel <0348
>Iyzebel > all <3605 kol > that Elijah <0452 > Eliyah > had done
<6213 <asah >, and withal how <0834 >aher > he had slain <2026
harag > all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the
sword <2719 chereb >.



2 Then Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > sent <7971 shalach > a
messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, saying
<0559 >amar >, So <3541 koh > let the gods < 0430 >elohiym > do
<6213 <asah > [to me], and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh >,
if I make <7760 suwm > not thy life <5315 nephesh > as the life
<5315 nephesh > of one <0259 >echad > of them by to morrow <4279
machar > about this time <6256 <eth >.



3 And when he saw <7200 ra>ah > [that], he arose < 6965 quwm >,
and went <3212 yalak > for his life <5315 nephesh >, and came
<0935 bow> > to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< >, which <0834
>aher > [belongeth] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and left <3240
yanach > his servant <5288 na<ar > there <8033 sham >.



4 But he himself <1931 huw> > went <1980 halak > a day's <3117
yowm > journey <1870 derek > into the wilderness < 4057 midbar >,
and came <0935 bow> > and sat <3427 yashab > down under <8478
tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree: and he requested <7592
sha>al > for himself <5315 nephesh > that he might die <4191
muwth >; and said <0559 >amar >, It is enough < 7227 rab >; now
<6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, take < 3947 laqach > away
my life <5315 nephesh >; for I [am] not better <2896 towb > than
my fathers <1>.



5 And as he lay <7901 shakab > and slept <3462 yashen > under
<8478 tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree, behold <2009
hinneh >, then an angel <4397 mal>ak > touched < 5060 naga< > him,
and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Arise <6965 quwm > [and] eat
<0398 >akal >.



6 And he looked <5027 nabat >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >,
[there was] a cake <5692 <uggah > baken on the coals < 7529
retseph >, and a cruse <6835 tsappachath > of water < 4325 mayim

and drink <8354 shathah >, and laid <7901 shakab > him down
<7901 shakab > again <7725 shuwb >.



7 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the second <8145 sheniy > time,
and touched <5060 naga< > him, and said <0559 > amar >, Arise
<6965 quwm > [and] eat <0398 >akal >; because < 3588 kiy > the
journey <1870 derek > [is] too great <7227 rab > for thee.



8 And he arose <6965 quwm >, and did eat <0398 >akal > and
drink <8354 shathah >, and went <3212 yalak > in the strength
<3581 koach > of that meat <0396 >akiylah > forty <0705

<3915 layil > unto Horeb <2722 Choreb > the mount < 2022 har > of
God <0430 >elohiym >.



9. And he came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > unto a cave
<4631 m@<arah >, and lodged <3885 luwn > there < 8033 sham >; and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > [came] to him, and he said <0559 >amar > unto him,
What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >, Elijah <0452
>Eliyah >?



10 And he said <0559 >amar >, I have been very jealous <7065
qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 > elohiym > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >: for the children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > have forsaken <5800 <azab > thy covenant <1285
b@riyth >, thrown <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > thine altars
<4196 mizbeach >, and slain <2026 harag > thy prophets <5030

<0905 bad >, am left <3498 yathar >; and they seek <1245 baqash

11 And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> >, and stand <5975 <amad > upon the mount <2022 har >
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And, behold
<2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > passed < 5674 <abar > by,
and a great <1419 gadowl > and strong <2389 chazaq > wind <7307

<7665 shabar > in pieces the rocks <5553 cela< > before <6440

the wind <7307 ruwach > an earthquake <7494 ra<ash >; [but] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] not in the earthquake <7494 ra<ash >:



12 And after <0310 >achar > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > a
fire <0784 >esh >; [but] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] not in
the fire <0784 >esh >: and after <0310 >achar > the fire <0784

13 And it was [so], when Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > heard <8085
shama< > [it], that he wrapped <3874 luwt > his face <6440
paniym > in his mantle <0155 >addereth >, and went <3318 yatsa>

[there came <0935 bow> >] a voice <6963 qowl > unto him, and
said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >,
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >?



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

prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the sword <2719 chereb >; and I,
[even] I only <0905 bad >, am left <3498 yathar >; and they seek
<1245 baqash > my life <5315 nephesh >, to take < 3947 laqach >
it away.



15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go
<3212 yalak >, return <7725 shuwb > on thy way < 1870 derek > to
the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >: and
when thou comest <0935 bow> >, anoint <4886 mashach > Hazael
<2371 Chaza>el > [to be] king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al >
Syria <0758 >Aram >:



16 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250
Nimshiy > shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach > [to be] king <4428

of Abelmeholah <65> shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach > [to be]
prophet <5030 nabiy> > in thy room <8478 tachath >.



17 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] him that
escapeth <4422 malat > the sword <2719 chereb > of Hazael <2371

Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > slay <4191

18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar > [me] seven <7651 sheba< >

19. So he departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham >, and found
<4672 matsa> > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of
Shaphat <8202 Shaphat >, who <1931 huw> > [was] plowing <2790

his mantle <0155 >addereth > upon him.



20 And he left <5800 <azab > the oxen <1241 baqar >, and ran
<7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, and
said <0559 >amar >, Let me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, kiss <5401

will follow thee. And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go <3212
yalak > back <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >: for what <4100

21 And he returned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from him,
and took <3947 laqach > a yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241
baqar >, and slew <2076 zabach > them, and boiled < 1310 bashal >
their flesh <1320 basar > with the instruments <3627 k@liy > of

1Kings 20



1. And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > the king <4428 melek > of Syria
<0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > his host
<2428 chayil > together: and [there were] thirty <7970
sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > with
him, and horses <5483 cuwc >, and chariots <7393 rekeb >: and he
went <5927 <alah > up and besieged <6696 tsuwr > Samaria <8111
Shom@rown >, and warred <3898 lacham > against it.



2 And he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal> ak > to Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
into the city <5892 <iyr >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad < 1131 Binnuwy >,



3 Thy silver <3701 keceph > and thy gold <2091 zahab > [is]
mine; thy wives <0802 >ishshah > also and thy children <1121 ben

4 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, My lord <0113
>adown >, O king <4428 melek >, according to thy saying <1697
dabar >, I [am] thine, and all <3605 kol > that I have.



5 And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > came <7725 shuwb > again
<7725 shuwb >, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus < 3541 koh > speaketh
<0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >, saying < 0559 >amar >,
Although <3588 kiy > I have sent <7971 shalach > unto thee,
saying <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt deliver <5414 nathan > me thy
silver <3701 keceph >, and thy gold <2091 zahab >, and thy wives
<0802 >ishshah >, and thy children <1121 ben >;



6 Yet <3588 kiy > I will send <7971 shalach > my servants <5650
<ebed > unto thee to morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256
<eth >, and they shall search <2664 chaphas > thine house <1004
bayith >, and the houses <1004 bayith > of thy servants <5650
<ebed >; and it shall be, [that] whatsoever <3605 kol > is
pleasant <4261 machmad > in thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, they shall
put <7760 suwm > [it] in their hand <3027 yad >, and take <3947
laqach > [it] away.



7 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > called
<7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of the
land <0776 >erets >, and said <0559 >amar >, Mark <3045 yada< >,
I pray <4994 na> > you, and see <7200 ra>ah > how <3588 kiy >
this <2088 zeh > [man] seeketh <1245 baqash > mischief <7451 ra<

>ishshah >, and for my children <1121 ben >, and for my silver
<3701 keceph >, and for my gold <2091 zahab >; and I denied
<4513 mana< > him not.



8 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > and all <3605
kol > the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Hearken <8085 shama< > not [unto him], nor <3808 lo> > consent
<14>.



9 Wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the messengers <4397
mal>ak > of Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >, Tell <0559 >amar > my lord
<0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, All < 3605 kol > that thou
didst send <7971 shalach > for to thy servant <5650 < ebed > at
the first <7223 ri>shown > I will do <6213 <asah >: but this
<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > I may <3201 yakol > not do <6213
<asah >. And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > departed <3212 yalak

shuwb >.



10 And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > sent <7971 shalach > unto him,
and said <0559 >amar >, The gods <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah

suffice <5606 caphaq > for handfuls <8168 sho<al > for all <3605
kol > the people <5971 <am > that follow <7272 regel > me.



11 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Tell <1696 dabar

harness] boast <1984 halal > himself as he that putteth < 6605
pathach > it off.



12. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when [Benhadad] heard
<8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > message <1697 dabar >, as he
[was] drinking <8354 shathah >, he and the kings <4428 melek >
in the pavilions <5521 cukkah >, that he said <0559 > amar > unto
his servants <5650 <ebed >, Set <7760 suwm > [yourselves in
array]. And they set <7760 suwm > [themselves in array] against
<5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr >.



13 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <5066 nagash > a
prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus
<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Hast
thou seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > this < 2088 zeh > great
<1419 gadowl > multitude <1995 hamown >? behold < 2005 hen >, I
will deliver <5414 nathan > it into thine hand <3027 yad > this
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >; and thou shalt know < 3045 yada< >
that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



14 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar >, By whom <4310
miy >? And he said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [Even] by the young <5288
na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082
m@diynah >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > shall
order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah >? And he
answered <0559 >amar >, Thou.



15 Then he numbered <6485 paqad > the young <5288 na< ar > men
of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah >,
and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me> ah > and
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > two <8147 sh@nayim >: and after <0310
>achar > them he numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > the
people <5971 <am >, [even] all <3605 kol > the children <1121
ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [being] seven < 7651 sheba< >
thousand <0505 >eleph >.



16 And they went <3318 yatsa> > out at noon <6672 tsohar >. But
Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > [was] drinking <8354 shathah >
himself drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the pavilions <5521 cukkah >,
he and the kings <4428 melek >, the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym >
and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > that helped <5826
<azar > him.



17 And the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes < 8269 sar >
of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > went <3318 yatsa> > out first
<7223 ri>shown >; and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > sent <7971
shalach > out, and they told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559
>amar >, There are men <0582 >enowsh > come < 3318 yatsa> > out
of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Whether <0518 >im > they be come
<3318 yatsa> > out for peace <7965 shalowm >, take <8610 taphas

<3318 yatsa> > out for war <4421 milchamah >, take <8610 taphas

19 So these <0428 >el-leh > young <5288 na<ar > men of the
princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > came <3318
yatsa> > out of the city <5892 <iyr >, and the army <2428 chayil

20 And they slew <5221 nakah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376
>iysh > his man <0376 >iysh >: and the Syrians < 0758 >Aram >
fled <5127 nuwc >; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291
radaph > them: and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > the king <4428
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > escaped <4422 malat > on <5921
<al > an horse <5483 cuwc > with the horsemen < 6571 parash >.



21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > went
<3318 yatsa> > out, and smote <5221 nakah > the horses <5483
cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb >, and slew <5221 nakah > the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > with a great <1419 gadowl > slaughter
<4347 makkah >.



22. And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > to the
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said <0559
>amar > unto him, Go <3212 yalak >, strengthen < 2388 chazaq >
thyself, and mark <3045 yada< >, and see <7200 ra> ah > what thou
doest <6213 <asah >: for at the return <8666 t@shuwbah > of the
year <8141 shaneh > the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king <4428 melek > of
Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Their gods
<0430 >elohiym > [are] gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022

let us fight <3898 lacham > against them in the plain < 4334
miyshowr >, and surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388
chazaq > than they.



24 And do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >,
Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away, every <0376

put <7760 suwm > captains <6346 pechah > in their rooms <8478
tachath >:



25 And number <4487 manah > thee an army <2428 chayil >, like
the army <2428 chayil > that thou hast lost <5307 naphal >,
horse <5483 cuwc > for horse <5483 cuwc >, and chariot <7393
rekeb > for chariot <7393 rekeb >: and we will fight < 3898
lacham > against them in the plain <4334 miyshowr >, [and]
surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they.
And he hearkened <8085 shama< > unto their voice < 6963 qowl >,
and did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.



26 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the return < 8666
t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh >, that Benhadad <1130 Ben-
Hadad > numbered <6485 paqad > the Syrians <0758 > Aram >, and
went <5927 <alah > up to Aphek <0663 >Apheq >, to fight <4421
milchamah > against <5973 <im > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



27 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were
numbered <6485 paqad >, and were all present <3557 kuwl >, and
went <3212 yalak > against <7125 qir>ah > them: and the children
<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pitched < 2583 chanah >
before <5048 neged > them like two <8147 sh@nayim > little <2835
chasiph > flocks <2835 chasiph > of kids <5795 <ez >; but the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > filled <4390 male> > the country <0776

28 And there came <5066 nagash > a man <0376 >iysh > of God
<0430 >elohiym >, and spake <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said, Thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Because the
Syrians <0758 >Aram > have said <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > [is] God <0430 >elohiym > of the hills < 2022 har >,
but he [is] not God <0430 >elohiym > of the valleys < 6010 <emeq

<2088 zeh > great <1419 gadowl > multitude into thine hand <3027
yad >, and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.



29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over
<5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other < 0428 >el-leh >
seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm >. And [so] it was, that in
the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > day <3117 yowm > the battle <4421
milchamah > was joined <7126 qarab >: and the children <1121 ben

<0758 >Aram > an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph >
footmen <7273 ragliy > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm >.



30 But the rest <3498 yathar > fled <5127 nuwc > to Aphek <0663
>Apheq >, into <0413 >el > the city <5892 < iyr >; and [there] a
wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon twenty <6242
<esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand < 0505 >eleph > of
the men <0376 >iysh > [that were] left <3498 yathar >. And
Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > fled <5127 nuwc >, and came <0935
bow> > into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr >, into <0413 >el >
an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder >.



31. And his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 > amar > unto him,
Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, we have heard <8085
shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > of the house <1004 bayith

<4428 melek >: let us, I pray <4994 na> > thee, put <7760 suwm >
sackcloth <8242 saq > on our loins <4975 mothen >, and ropes
<2256 chebel > upon our heads <7218 ro>sh >, and go <3318 yatsa>

peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will save <2421 chayah > thy life
<5315 nephesh >.



32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on their
loins <4975 mothen >, and [put] ropes <2256 chebel > on their
heads <7218 ro>sh >, and came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said <0559 >amar >, Thy
servant <5650 <ebed > Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > saith <0559
>amar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let me live < 2421 chayah >.
And he said <0559 >amar >, [Is] he yet <3588 kiy > alive <2416
chay >? he [is] my brother <0251 >ach >.



33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently <5172 nachash >
observe <5172 nachash > whether [any thing would come] from him,
and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat > [it]: and
they said <0559 >amar >, Thy brother <0251 >ach > Benhadad <1130
Ben-Hadad >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <0935 bow> > ye,
bring <3947 laqach > him. Then Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > came
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to him; and he caused him to
come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al > the chariot <4818
merkabah >.



34 And [Benhadad] said <0559 >amar > unto him, The cities <5892
<iyr >, which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took <3947 laqach >
from thy father <1>, I will restore <7725 shuwb >; and thou
shalt make <7760 suwm > streets <2351 chuwts > for thee in
Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, as my father <1> made < 7760 suwm > in
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. Then [said Ahab], I will send <7971
shalach > thee away with this covenant <1285 b@riyth >. So he
made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with him, and
sent <7971 shalach > him away.



35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar >
unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Smite <5221 nakah > me, I pray <4994 na> >
thee. And the man <0376 >iysh > refused <3985 ma> en > to smite
<5221 nakah > him.



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



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



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



39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 <abar > by, he
cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek >: and he said
<0559 >amar >, Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318 yatsa> > out
into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421 milchamah >;
and, behold <2009 hinneh >, a man <0376 >iysh > turned <5493
cuwr > aside, and brought <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > unto
me, and said <0559 >amar >, Keep <8104 shamar > this <2088 zeh >
man <0376 >iysh >: if <0518 >im > by any means he be missing
<6485 paqad >, then shall thy life <5315 nephesh > be for his
life <5315 nephesh >, or <0176 >ow > else thou shalt pay <8254
shaqal > a talent <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >.



40 And as thy servant <5650 <ebed > was busy <6213 <asah > here
<2008 hennah > and there <2008 hennah >, he was gone <0369 >ayin

<0559 >amar > unto him, So <3651 ken > [shall] thy judgment
<4941 mishpat > [be]; thyself hast decided <2782 charats > [it].



41 And he hasted <4116 mahar >, and took the ashes < 0665 >epher

<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned <5234 nakar >
him that he [was] of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.



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



43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > went
<3212 yalak > to his house <1004 bayith > heavy < 5620 car > and
displeased <2198 za<eph >, and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >.



1Kings 21



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 > achar > these
<0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, [that] Naboth <5022
Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had <1961 hayah > a
vineyard <3754 kerem >, which <0834 >aher > [was] in Jezreel
<3157 Yizr@<e>l >, hard <0681 >etsel > by the palace <1964
heykal > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >.



2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth
<5022 Nabowth >, saying <0559 >amar >, Give < 5414 nathan > me
thy vineyard <3754 kerem >, that I may have <1961 hayah > it for
a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq >, because <3588 kiy >
it [is] near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004 bayith >: and I
will give <5414 nathan > thee for it a better <2896 towb >
vineyard <3754 kerem > than it; [or <0176 >ow >], if <0518 >im >
it seem good <2896 towb > to thee, I will give <5414 nathan >
thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in money <3701 keceph >.



3 And Naboth <5022 Nabowth > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > forbid < 2486 chaliylah > it
me, that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance < 5159
nachalah > of my fathers <1> unto thee.



4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >
his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198
za<eph > because <5921 <al > of the word <1697 dabar > which
<0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158
Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him: for he had said
<0559 >amar >, I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the
inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1>. And he laid
<7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah

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



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



6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her, Because <3588 kiy > I
spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite
<3158 Yizr@<e>liy >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Give <5414
nathan > me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > for money < 3701 keceph >;
or else, if <0518 >im > it please <2655 chaphets > thee, I will
give <5414 nathan > thee [another] vineyard <3754 kerem > for it:
and he answered <0559 >amar >, I will not give <5414 nathan >
thee my vineyard <3754 kerem >.



7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 > ishshah > said
<0559 >amar > unto him, Dost thou now <6258 <attah > govern
<6213 <asah > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >? arise <6965 quwm >, [and] eat <0398 >akal > bread
<3899 lechem >, and let thine heart <3820 leb > be merry <3190
yatab >: I will give <5414 nathan > thee the vineyard <3754
kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite < 3158
Yizr@<e>liy >.



8 So she wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher > in Ahab's
<0256 >Ach>ab > name <8034 shem >, and sealed <2856 chatham >
[them] with his seal <2368 chowtham >, and sent <7971 shalach >
the letters <5612 cepher > unto the elders <2205 zaqen > and to
the nobles <2715 chor > that [were] in his city <5892 <iyr >,
dwelling <3427 yashab > with Naboth <5022 Nabowth >.



9 And she wrote <3789 kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm

ro>sh > among the people <5971 <am >:



10 And set <3427 yashab > two <8147 sh@nayim > men <0582

<5048 neged > him, to bear <5749 <uwd > witness <5749 <uwd >
against him, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou didst blaspheme <1288
barak > God <0430 >elohiym > and the king <4428 melek >. And
[then] carry <3318 yatsa> > him out, and stone <5619 caqal > him,
that he may die <4191 muwth >.



11 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of his city <5892 < iyr >, [even]
the elders <2205 zaqen > and the nobles <2715 chor > who <0834
>aher > were the inhabitants <3427 yashab > in his city <5892
<iyr >, did <6213 <asah > as Jezebel <0348 > Iyzebel > had sent
<7971 shalach > unto them, [and] as it [was] written < 3789
kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > she
had sent <7971 shalach > unto them.



12 They proclaimed <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm >, and set
<3427 yashab > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > on high < 7218 ro>sh >
among the people <5971 <am >.



13 And there came <0935 bow> > in two <8147 sh@nayim > men
<0582 >enowsh >, children <1121 ben > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al

<0582 >enowsh > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al > witnessed <5749 <uwd

presence <5048 neged > of the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559
>amar >, Naboth <5022 Nabowth > did blaspheme < 1288 barak > God
<0430 >elohiym > and the king <4428 melek >. Then they carried
<3318 yatsa> > him forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the city <5892
<iyr >, and stoned <5619 caqal > him with stones < 68>, that he
died <4191 muwth >.



14 Then they sent <7971 shalach > to Jezebel <0348 > Iyzebel >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is stoned <5619
caqal >, and is dead <4191 muwth >.



15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jezebel < 0348
>Iyzebel > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth < 5022 Nabowth > was
stoned <5619 caqal >, and was dead <4191 muwth >, that Jezebel
<0348 >Iyzebel > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab < 0256 >Ach>ab >,
Arise <6965 quwm >, take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash

Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy >, which <0834 > aher > he refused
<3985 ma>en > to give <5414 nathan > thee for money <3701 keceph
>: for Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is not alive <2416 chay >, but
dead <4191 muwth >.



16 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > Ahab
<0256 >Ach>ab > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth >
was dead <4191 muwth >, that Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > rose <6965
quwm > up to go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the vineyard
<3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158
Yizr@<e>liy >, to take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash >
of it.



17. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664
Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >,



18 Arise <6965 quwm >, go <3381 yarad > down < 3381 yarad > to
meet <7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher > [is] in Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown >: behold <2009 hinneh >, [he is] in the
vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, whither he is
gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to possess < 3423 yarash >
it.



19 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > unto him, saying < 0559
>amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Hast thou killed <7523 ratsach >, and also <1571 gam

dabar > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, In the place <4725
maqowm > where <0834 >aher > dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952
laqaq > the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > shall
dogs <3611 keleb > lick <3952 laqaq > thy blood < 1818 dam >,
even <1571 gam > thine <0859 >attah >.



20 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > to Elijah <0452
>Eliyah >, Hast thou found <4672 matsa> > me, O mine enemy <0341
>oyeb >? And he answered <0559 >amar >, I have found <4672
matsa> > [thee]: because <3588 kiy > thou hast sold <4376 makar

<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



21 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra<

<0310 >achar >, and will cut <3772 karath > off from Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab > him that pisseth <8366 shathan > against the wall
<7023 qiyr >, and him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left
<5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,



22 And will make <5414 nathan > thine house <1004 bayith > like
the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son
<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and like the house <1004
bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son < 1121 ben > of Ahijah
<0281 >Achiyah >, for the provocation <3708 ka<ac > wherewith
<0834 >aher > thou hast provoked [me] to anger <3707 ka<ac >,
and made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



23 And of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > also <1571 gam > spake <1696
dabar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 > amar >, The dogs
<3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel < 0348 >Iyzebel >
by the wall <2426 cheyl > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e> l >.



24 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Ahab <0256 > Ach>ab > in the
city <5892 <iyr > the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal >;
and him that dieth <4191 muwth > in the field <7704 sadeh >
shall the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air <8064 shamayim > eat
<0398 >akal >.



25 But there was none <3808 lo> > like unto Ahab < 0256 >Ach>ab

<6213 <asah > wickedness <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, whom <0834 >aher > Jezebel <0348
>Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > stirred < 5496 cuwth > up.



26 And he did very <3966 m@<od > abominably <8581 ta<ab > in
following idols <1544 gilluwl >, according to all <3605 kol >
[things] as did <6213 <asah > the Amorites <0567 > Emoriy >, whom
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cast < 3423 yarash > out
before <6440 paniym > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.



27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >
heard <8085 shama< > those <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >,
that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and put
<7760 suwm > sackcloth <8242 saq > upon his flesh < 1320 basar >,
and fasted <6684 tsuwm >, and lay <7901 shakab > in sackcloth
<8242 saq >, and went <1980 halak > softly <0328 >at >.



28 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664
Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >,



29 Seest <7200 ra>ah > thou how <3588 kiy > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

because <3588 kiy > he humbleth <3665 kana< > himself before
<6440 paniym > me, I will not bring <0935 bow> > the evil <7451
ra< > in his days <3117 yowm >: [but] in his son's <1121 ben >
days <3117 yowm > will I bring <0935 bow> > the evil <7451 ra< >
upon his house <1004 bayith >.



1Kings 22



1. And they continued <3427 yashab > three <7969 shalowsh >
years <8141 shaneh > without war <4421 milchamah > between <0996

2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7992
sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, that Jehoshaphat < 3092
Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the king < 4428 melek >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



3 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > said
<0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed >, Know <3045 yada<

4 And he said <0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat

Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > to the king < 4428 melek > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, I [am] as thou [art], my people <5971
<am > as thy people <5971 <am >, my horses < 5483 cuwc > as thy
horses <5483 cuwc >.



5 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 > amar > unto
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Enquire <1875

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to day <3117 yowm >.



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

against <5921 <al > Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > to battle <4421
milchamah >, or shall I forbear <2308 chadal >? And they said
<0559 >amar >, Go <5927 <alah > up; for the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into the hand <3027 yad > of
the king <4428 melek >.



7 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 > amar >, [Is

8 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > said

Hasten <4116 mahar > [hither] Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son

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

11 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >, and prosper <6743 tsalach >: for
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into
the king's <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad >.



13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone < 1980 halak >
to call <7121 qara> > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > spake <1696
dabar > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Behold < 2009 hinneh >
now <4994 na> >, the words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030
nabiy> > [declare] good <2896 towb > unto the king <4428 melek >
with one <0259 >echad > mouth <6310 peh >: let thy word <1697
dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, be like the word <1697 dabar >
of one <0259 >echad > of them, and speak <1696 dabar > [that
which is] good <2896 towb >.



14 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, what the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar > unto me, that will I speak <1696
dabar >.



15. So he came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek >. And the
king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Micaiah <4321
Miykay@huw >, shall we go <3212 yalak > against <0413 >el >
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > to battle <4421 milchamah >, or
shall we forbear <2308 chadal >? And he answered <0559 >amar >
him, Go <5927 <alah >, and prosper <6743 tsalach >: for the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into the hand
<3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek >.



16 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him, How
<5704 <ad > many times <6471 pa<am > shall I adjure <7650 shaba<
> thee that thou tell <1696 dabar > me nothing <3808 lo> > but
[that which is] true <0571 >emeth > in the name <8034 shem > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >?



17 And he said <0559 >amar >, I saw <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol

<2022 har >, as sheep <6629 tso>n > that have not a shepherd
<7462 ra<ah >: and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >,
These <0428 >el-leh > have no <3808 lo> > master <0113 >adown >:
let them return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his
house <1004 bayith > in peace <7965 shalowm >.



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



19 And he said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > thou
therefore <3651 ken > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >: I saw <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sitting
<3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> >, and all
<3605 kol > the host of heaven <8064 shamayim > standing <5975
<amad > by him on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand and on his left
<8040 s@mo>wl >.



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



21 And there <8033 sham > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > a spirit <7307 ruwach >, and stood <5975 <amad > before
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said < 0559 >amar >,
I will persuade <6601 pathah > him.



22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him,
Wherewith <4100 mah >? And he said <0559 >amar >, I will go
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and I will be a lying <8267
sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all
<3605 kol > his prophets <5030 nabiy> >. And he said <0559 >amar
>, Thou shalt persuade <6601 pathah > [him], and prevail <3201
yakol > also <1571 gam >: go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >,
and do <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.



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



24 But Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > went <5674 <abar > near <5066 nagash
>, and smote <5221 nakah > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > on <5921
<al > the cheek <3895 l@chiy >, and said <0559 > amar >, Which
way <2088 zeh > went <5674 <abar > the Spirit < 7307 ruwach > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from me to speak <1696 dabar > unto
thee?



25 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar >, Behold
<2009 hinneh >, thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > in that day <3117
yowm >, when <0834 >aher > thou shalt go <0935 bow> > into an
inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > to hide <2247 chabah

26 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > said
<0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > Micaiah < 4321 Miykay@huw >,
and carry <7725 shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > unto Amon <0526
>Amown > the governor <8269 sar > of the city < 5892 <iyr >, and
to Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king's <4428 melek > son <1121 ben
>;



27 And say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the king <4428 melek >, Put <7760 suwm > this < 2088 zeh >
[fellow] in the prison, and feed <0398 >akal > him with bread
<3899 lechem > of affliction <3905 lachats > and with water
<4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats >, until <5704 <ad > I
come <0935 bow> > in peace <7965 shalowm >.



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



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



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



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



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



33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the captains <8269
sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah > that
it [was] not the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
that they turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from pursuing
<0310 >achar > him.



34 And a [certain] man <0376 >iysh > drew <4900 mashak > a bow
<7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom >, and smote <5221 nakah
> the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > between
<0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness <8302
shiryown >: wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the driver
<7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab >, Turn <2015 haphak
> thine hand <3027 yad >, and carry <3318 yatsa> > me out of the
host <4264 machaneh >; for I am wounded <2470 chalah > .



35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 < alah >
that day <3117 yowm >: and the king <4428 melek > was stayed
<5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227
nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and died <4191 muwth > at
even <6153 <ereb >: and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq >
out of the wound <4347 makkah > into <0413 >el > the midst <2436
cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb >.



36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation <7440 rinnah >
throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going < 0935 bow>
> down of the sun <8121 shemesh >, saying <0559 > amar >, Every
man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr >, and every man <0376
>iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets >.



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



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



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



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



41. And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of
Asa <0609 >Aca> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al >
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year <8141
shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >.



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



43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways
<1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1>; he turned
<5493 cuwr > not aside from it, doing <6213 <asah > [that which
was] right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >: nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high <1116 bamah >
places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >; [for] the
people <5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar
> incense <6999 qatar > yet <3588 kiy > in the high <1116 bamah
> places.



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



45 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >
that he shewed <6213 <asah >, and how <0834 >aher > he warred
<3898 lacham >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the
book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



46 And the remnant <3499 yether > of the sodomites < 6945 qadesh
>, which remained <7604 sha>ar > in the days <3117 yowm > of his
father <1> Asa <0609 >Aca> >, he took <1197 ba<ar > out of the
land <0776 >erets >.



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



48 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made <6235 <eser > ships
<0591 >oniyah > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > to go <3212 yalak
> to Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > for gold <2091 zahab >: but they
went <1980 halak > not; for the ships <0591 >oniyah > were
broken <7665 shabar > at Eziongeber <6100 <Etsyown <Etsyon Geber
>.



49 Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah
> the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > unto Jehoshaphat
<3092 Y@howshaphat >, Let my servants <5650 <ebed > go <3212
yalak > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the ships <0591
>oniyah >. But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > would <14> not.



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



51 Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256
>Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over < 5921 <al > Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the seventeenth
<7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092
Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and
reigned <4427 malak > two years <8141 shaneh > over <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



52 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked < 3212 yalak > in
the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in the way <1870
derek > of his mother <0517 >em >, and in the way < 1870 derek >
of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028
N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin
<2398 chata> >:



53 For he served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and
worshipped <7812 shachah > him, and provoked to anger < 3707
ka<ac > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 > elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, according to all <3605 kol > that his father
<1> had done <6213 <asah >.
