And BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 gatheredH6908 all his hostH2428 togetherH6908: and there were thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 with him, and horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393: and he went upH5927 and besiegedH6696 SamariaH8111, and warredH3898 against it.
And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 into the cityH5892, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 BenhadadH1130,
Thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is mine; thy wivesH802 also and thy childrenH1121, even the goodliestH2896, are mine.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 and saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, according to thy sayingH1697, I am thine, and all that I have.
And the messengersH4397 came againH7725, and saidH559, Thus speakethH559 BenhadadH1130, sayingH559, Although I have sentH7971 unto thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliverH5414 me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy childrenH1121;
Yet I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 unto thee to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256, and they shall searchH2664 thine houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall beH1961, that whatsoever is pleasantH4261 in thine eyesH5869, they shall putH7760 it in their handH3027, and take it awayH3947. {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 all the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and saidH559, MarkH3045, I pray you, and seeH7200 how this man seekethH1245 mischiefH7451: for he sentH7971 unto me for my wivesH802, and for my childrenH1121, and for my silverH3701, and for my goldH2091; and I deniedH4513 him not. {I denied…: Heb. I kept not back from him}
And all the eldersH2205 and all the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto him, HearkenH8085 not unto him, nor consentH14.
Wherefore he saidH559 unto the messengersH4397 of BenhadadH1130, TellH559 my lordH113 the kingH4428, All that thou didst sendH7971 for to thy servantH5650 at the firstH7223 I will doH6213: but this thingH1697 I mayH3201 not doH6213. And the messengersH4397 departedH3212, and broughtH7725 him wordH1697 againH7725.
And BenhadadH1130 sentH7971 unto him, and saidH559, The godsH430 do soH6213 unto me, and more alsoH3254, if the dustH6083 of SamariaH8111 shall sufficeH5606 for handfulsH8168 for all the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me. {follow…: Heb. are at my feet}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 and saidH559, TellH1696 him, Let not him that girdethH2296 on his harness boastH1984 himself as he that putteth it offH6605.
And it came to pass, when Benhadad heardH8085 this messageH1697, as he was drinkingH8354, he and the kingsH4428 in the pavilionsH5521, that he saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, SetH7760 yourselves in array. And they setH7760 themselves in array against the cityH5892. {message: Heb. word} {pavilions: or, tents} {Set yourselves…: or, Place the engines. And they placed the engines}
And, behold, there cameH5066 aH259 prophetH5030 unto AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou seenH7200 all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995? behold, I will deliverH5414 it into thine handH3027 this dayH3117; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {came: Heb. approached}
And AhabH256 saidH559, By whom? And he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even by the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082. Then he saidH559, Who shall orderH631 the battleH4421? And he answeredH559, Thou. {young…: or, servants} {order: Heb. bind, or, tie}
Then he numberedH6485 the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and they were twoH8147 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 twoH8147: and afterH310 them he numberedH6485 all the peopleH5971, even all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, being sevenH7651 thousandH505.
And they went outH3318 at noonH6672. But BenhadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the pavilionsH5521, he and the kingsH4428, the thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 that helpedH5826 him.
And the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 went outH3318 firstH7223; and BenhadadH1130 sent outH7971, and they toldH5046 him, sayingH559, There are menH582 come outH3318 of SamariaH8111.
And he saidH559, Whether they be come outH3318 for peaceH7965, takeH8610 them aliveH2416; or whether they be come outH3318 for warH4421, takeH8610 them aliveH2416.
So these young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 came outH3318 of the cityH5892, and the armyH2428 which followedH310 them.
And they slewH5221 every oneH376 his manH376: and the SyriansH758 fledH5127; and IsraelH3478 pursuedH7291 them: and BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 escapedH4422 on an horseH5483 with the horsemenH6571.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and smoteH5221 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and slewH5221 the SyriansH758 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.
And the prophetH5030 cameH5066 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, strengthenH2388 thyself, and markH3045, and seeH7200 what thou doestH6213: for at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 will come upH5927 against thee.
And the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 saidH559 unto him, Their godsH430 are godsH430 of the hillsH2022; therefore they were strongerH2388 than we; butH199 let us fightH3898 against them in the plainH4334, and surelyH3808 we shall be strongerH2388 than they.
And doH6213 this thingH1697, TakeH5493 the kingsH4428 away, every manH376 out of his placeH4725, and putH7760 captainsH6346 in their rooms:
And numberH4487 thee an armyH2428, like the armyH2428 that thou hast lostH5307, horseH5483 for horseH5483, and chariotH7393 for chariotH7393: and we will fightH3898 againstH854 them in the plainH4334, and surely we shall be strongerH2388 than they. And he hearkenedH8085 unto their voiceH6963, and did soH6213. {that thou…: Heb. that was fallen}
And it came to pass at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141, that BenhadadH1130 numberedH6485 the SyriansH758, and went upH5927 to AphekH663, to fightH4421 against IsraelH3478. {to fight…: Heb. to the war with Israel}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were numberedH6485, and were all presentH3557, and wentH3212 againstH7125 them: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 pitchedH2583 before them like twoH8147 little flocksH2835 of kidsH5795; but the SyriansH758 filledH4390 the countryH776. {were all…: or, were nourished}
And there cameH5066 a manH376 of GodH430, and spakeH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Because the SyriansH758 have saidH559, The LORDH3068 is GodH430 of the hillsH2022, but he is not GodH430 of the valleysH6010, therefore will I deliverH5414 all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995 into thine handH3027, and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And they pitchedH2583 oneH428 over againstH5227 the otherH428 sevenH7651 daysH3117. And so it was, that in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the battleH4421 was joinedH7126: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH5221 of the SyriansH758 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273 in oneH259 dayH3117.
But the restH3498 fledH5127 to AphekH663, into the cityH5892; and there a wallH2346 fellH5307 upon twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 of the menH376 that were leftH3498. And BenhadadH1130 fledH5127, and cameH935 into the cityH5892, into an innerH2315 chamberH2315. {into an…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber}
And his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428: let us, I pray thee, putH7760 sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975, and ropesH2256 upon our headsH7218, and go outH3318 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will saveH2421 thy lifeH5315.
So they girdedH2296 sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975, and put ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thy servantH5650 BenhadadH1130 saithH559, I pray thee, let me liveH2421+H5315. And he saidH559, Is he yet aliveH2416? he is my brotherH251.
Now the menH582 did diligently observeH5172 whether any thing would come from him, and did hastilyH4116 catchH2480 it: and they saidH559, Thy brotherH251 BenhadadH1130. Then he saidH559, GoH935 ye, bringH3947 him. Then BenhadadH1130 came forthH3318 to him; and he caused him to come upH5927 into the chariotH4818.
And Benhadad saidH559 unto him, The citiesH5892, which my fatherH1 tookH3947 from thy fatherH1, I will restoreH7725; and thou shalt makeH7760 streetsH2351 for thee in DamascusH1834, as my fatherH1 madeH7760 in SamariaH8111. Then said Ahab, I will send thee awayH7971 with this covenantH1285. So he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and sent him awayH7971.
And a certainH259 manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his neighbourH7453 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, SmiteH5221 me, I pray thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smiteH5221 him.
Then saidH559 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, behold, as soon as thou art departedH1980 from me, a lionH738 shall slayH5221 thee. And as soon as he was departedH3212 from himH681, a lionH738 foundH4672 him, and slewH5221 him.
Then he foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 me, I pray thee. And the manH376 smoteH5221 him, so that in smitingH5221 he woundedH6481 him. {so that…: Heb. smiting and wounding}
So the prophetH5030 departedH3212, and waitedH5975 for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and disguisedH2664 himself with ashesH666 upon his faceH5869.
And as the kingH4428 passed byH5674, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428: and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 went outH3318 into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, behold, a manH376 turned asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto me, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: if by any meansH6485 he be missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 be for his lifeH5315, or else thou shalt payH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701. {pay: Heb. weigh}
And as thy servantH5650 was busyH6213 here and there, he was goneH369. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, So shall thy judgmentH4941 be; thyself hast decidedH2782 it. {he was…: Heb. he was not}
And he hastedH4116, and took the ashesH666 awayH5493 from his faceH5869; and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 discernedH5234 him that he was of the prophetsH5030.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Because thou hast let goH7971 out of thy handH3027 a manH376 whom I appointed to utter destructionH2764, therefore thy lifeH5315 shall go for his lifeH5315, and thy peopleH5971 for his peopleH5971.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to his houseH1004 heavyH5620 and displeasedH2198, and cameH935 to SamariaH8111.

And when he heardH8085 sayH559 of TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of EthiopiaH3568, Behold, he is come outH3318 to fightH3898 against thee: he sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH7725 unto HezekiahH2396, sayingH559,
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426. And he stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704.
Then came forthH3318 unto him EliakimH471, Hilkiah'sH2518 sonH1121, which was over the houseH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, Asaph'sH623 sonH1121, the recorderH2142. {scribe: or, secretary}
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
I sayH559, sayest thou, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421: now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me? {vain…: Heb. a word of lips} {I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.
But if thou sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is it not he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
Now therefore give pledgesH6148, I pray thee, to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master'sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
And am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this landH776 to destroyH7843 it? the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
Then saidH559 EliakimH471 and ShebnaH7644 and JoahH3098 unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, unto thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH762; for we understandH8085 it: and speakH1696 not to us in the Jews' languageH3066, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
But RabshakehH7262 saidH559, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113 and to thee to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sent me to the menH582 that sitH3427 upon the wallH2346, that they may eatH398 their own dungH2716+H6675, and drinkH8354 their own pissH4325+H7272+H7890 with you?
Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975, and criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' languageH3066, and saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Let not HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you: for he shall not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you.
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us: this cityH5892 shall not be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
HearkenH8085 not to HezekiahH2396: for thus saithH559 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, MakeH6213 an agreement with me by a presentH1293, and come outH3318 to me: and eatH398 ye every oneH376 of his vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig treeH8384, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his own cisternH953; {Make…: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing}
Until I comeH935 and take you awayH3947 to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754.
Beware lest HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and ArphadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617? and have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of my handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of these landsH776, that have deliveredH5337 their landH776 out of my handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of my handH3027?
But they held their peaceH2790, and answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697: for the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687 was, sayingH559, AnswerH6030 him not.
Then cameH935 EliakimH471, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, that was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the recorderH2142, to HezekiahH2396 with their clothesH899 rentH7167, and toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262.
