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.

Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such as growethH5599 of itself; and the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same: and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605: {the remnant…: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 out of mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this. {they…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldsH4043, nor castH8210 a bankH5550 against it.
By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went forthH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 a hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481 the wrathH3708 of the enemyH341, lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangelyH5234, and lest they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6466 all this. {Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done}

And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto BethelH1008: and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999. {burn: or, offer}

And she saidH559 unto ElijahH452, What have I to do with thee, O thou manH376 of GodH430? art thou comeH935 unto me to callH2142 my sinH5771 to remembranceH2142, and to slayH4191 my sonH1121?
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
And I will severH6395 in that dayH3117 the landH776 of GoshenH1657, in which my peopleH5971 dwellH5975, that noH1115 swarmsH6157 of flies shall beH1961 there; to the endH4616 thou mayest knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
With him is strengthH5797 and wisdomH8454: the deceivedH7683 and the deceiverH7686 are his.
He leadethH3212 counsellorsH3289 away spoiledH7758, and maketh the judgesH8199 foolsH1984.
He loosethH6605 the bondH4148 of kingsH4428, and girdethH631 their loinsH4975 with a girdleH232.
He leadethH3212 princesH3548 away spoiledH7758, and overthrowethH5557 the mightyH386.
Ye have not eatenH398 breadH3899, neither have ye drunkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941: that ye might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
The righteousH6662 shall rejoiceH8055 when he seethH2372 the vengeanceH5359: he shall washH7364 his feetH6471 in the bloodH1818 of the wickedH7563.
So will I stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon them, and makeH5414 the landH776 desolateH8077, yea, more desolateH4923 than the wildernessH4057 toward DiblathH1689, in all their habitationsH4186: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {more…: or, desolate from the wilderness}
So that a manH120 shall sayH559, Verily there is a rewardH6529 for the righteousH6662: verily he isH3426 a GodH430 that judgethH8199 in the earthH776. {a reward…: Heb. fruit of the, etc}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for ye have not walkedH1980 in my statutesH2706, neither executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but have doneH6213 after the mannersH4941 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you. {for ye…: or, which have not walked}
Wherefore should the heathenH1471 sayH559, Where is their GodH430? let him be knownH3045 among the heathenH1471 in our sightH5869 by the revengingH5360 of the bloodH1818 of thy servantsH5650 which is shedH8210. {revenging: Heb. vengeance}
But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH582 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 all their abominationsH8441 among the heathenH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a few…: Heb. men of number}
Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
So will I make my holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let them polluteH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034 any more: and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 in IsraelH3478.
O LORDH3068, though our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, doH6213 thou it for thy name'sH8034 sake: for our backslidingsH4878 are manyH7231; we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
