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.

Then the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 warredH3898 against IsraelH3478, and took counselH3289 with his servantsH5650, sayingH559, In suchH6423 and suchH492 a placeH4725 shall be my campH8466. {camp: or, encamping}
And the manH376 of GodH430 sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that thou passH5674 not suchH2088 a placeH4725; for thither the SyriansH758 are come downH5185.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the placeH4725 which the manH376 of GodH430 toldH559 him and warnedH2094 him of, and savedH8104 himself there, not onceH259 nor twiceH8147.
Therefore the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sore troubledH5590 for this thingH1697; and he calledH7121 his servantsH5650, and saidH559 unto them, Will ye not shewH5046 me which of us is for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 saidH559, None, my lordH113, O kingH4428: but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 that is in IsraelH3478, tellethH5046 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that thou speakestH1696 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904. {None: Heb. No}
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.
Then ElishaH477 saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, To morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 shall a measureH5429 of fine flourH5560 be sold for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
And the LORDH3068 was graciousH2603 unto them, and had compassionH7355 on them, and had respectH6437 unto them, because ofH4616 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and wouldH14 not destroyH7843 them, neither castH7993 he them from his presenceH6440 as yetH5704. {presence: Heb. face}
And the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have gotten me honourH3513 upon PharaohH6547, upon his chariotsH7393, and upon his horsemenH6571.
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927 toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201 not prevailH3898 against it.
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704; {Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And sayH559 unto him, Take heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 not, neither be faintheartedH7401+H3824 for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. {neither…: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289 against thee, sayingH559,
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
ThusH3541 saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to pass.
For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971. {that…: Heb. from a people}
And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539. {If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
I have heardH8085 the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: speakH1696 unto them, sayingH559, At evenH996+H6153 ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320, and in the morningH1242 ye shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
That men may knowH3045 that thou, whose nameH8034 alone is JEHOVAHH3068, art the most highH5945 over all the earthH776.
Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318.
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, saveH3467 us from his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068, even thou only.
