Now JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141.
And he wroughtH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; but not like his fatherH1, and like his motherH517: for he put awayH5493 the imageH4676 of BaalH1168 that his fatherH1 had madeH6213. {image: Heb. statue}
Nevertheless he cleavedH1692 unto the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398; he departedH5493 not therefrom.
And MeshaH4338 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 was a sheepmasterH5349, and renderedH7725 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 lambsH3733, and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 ramsH352, with the woolH6785.
But it came to pass, when AhabH256 was deadH4194, that the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And kingH4428 JehoramH3088 went outH3318 of SamariaH8111 the same timeH3117, and numberedH6485 all IsraelH3478.
And he wentH3212 and sentH7971 to JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath rebelledH6586 against me: wilt thou goH3212 with me against MoabH4124 to battleH4421? And he saidH559, I will go upH5927: I am as thou art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, and my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And he saidH559, Which wayH1870 shall we go upH5927? And he answeredH559, The wayH1870 through the wildernessH4057 of EdomH123.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212, and the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the kingH4428 of EdomH123: and they fetched a compassH5437 of sevenH7651 days'H3117 journeyH1870: and there was no waterH4325 for the hostH4264, and for the cattleH929 that followedH7272 them. {that…: Heb. at their feet}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, AlasH162! that the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124!
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, that we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him? And oneH259 of the kingH4428 of Israel'sH3478 servantsH5650 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Here is ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, which pouredH3332 waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with him. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 went downH3381 to him.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? getH3212 thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124.
And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, surely, were it not thatH3884 I regardH5375 the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH5027 toward thee, nor seeH7200 thee.
But now bringH3947 me a minstrelH5059. And it came to pass, when the minstrelH5059 playedH5059, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 came upon him.
And he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, MakeH6213 this valleyH5158 full of ditchesH1356.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not seeH7200 windH7307, neither shall ye seeH7200 rainH1653; yet that valleyH5158 shall be filledH4390 with waterH4325, that ye may drinkH8354, both ye, and your cattleH4735, and your beastsH929.
And this is but a light thingH7043 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he will deliverH5414 the MoabitesH4124 also into your handH3027.
And ye shall smiteH5221 every fencedH4013 cityH5892, and every choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307 every goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640 all wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and marH3510 every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land with stonesH68. {mar: Heb. grieve}
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the meat offeringH4503 was offeredH5927, that, behold, there cameH935 waterH4325 by the wayH1870 of EdomH123, and the countryH776 was filledH4390 with waterH4325.
And when all the MoabitesH4124 heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 were come upH5927 to fightH3898 against them, they gatheredH6817 all that were able to putH2296 on armourH2290, and upwardH4605, and stoodH5975 in the borderH1366. {gathered: Heb. were cried together} {put on…: Heb. gird himself with a girdle}
And they rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shoneH2224 upon the waterH4325, and the MoabitesH4124 sawH7200 the waterH4325 on the other sideH5048 as redH122 as bloodH1818:
And they saidH559, This is bloodH1818: the kingsH4428 are surelyH2717 slainH2717, and they have smittenH5221 oneH376 anotherH7453: now therefore, MoabH4124, to the spoilH7998. {slain: Heb. destroyed}
And when they cameH935 to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 rose upH6965 and smoteH5221 the MoabitesH4124, so that they fledH5127 beforeH6440 them: but they went forwardH5221 smitingH5221 the MoabitesH4124, even in their country. {they went…: or, they smote in it even smiting}
And they beat downH2040 the citiesH5892, and on every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land castH7993 every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390 it; and they stoppedH5640 all the wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and felledH5307 all the goodH2896 treesH6086: only in KirharasethH7025 leftH7604 they the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingersH7051 went aboutH5437 it, and smoteH5221 it. {only in…: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth}
And when the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 was too soreH2388 for him, he tookH3947 with him sevenH7651 hundredH3967 menH376 that drewH8025 swordsH2719, to break throughH1234 even unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123: but they couldH3201 not.
Then he tookH3947 his eldestH1060 sonH1121 that should have reignedH4427 in his stead, and offeredH5927 him for a burnt offeringH5930 upon the wallH2346. And there was greatH1419 indignationH7110 against IsraelH3478: and they departedH5265 from him, and returnedH7725 to their own landH776.

But he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will receiveH3947 none. And he urgedH6484 him to takeH3947 it; but he refusedH3985.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the LORDH3068 stablishedH3559 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and all JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230. {brought: Heb. gave}
And his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And as SamuelH8050 turned aboutH5437 to go awayH3212, he laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his mantleH4598, and it rentH7167.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighbourH7453 of thine, that is betterH2896 than thou.
And also the StrengthH5331 of IsraelH3478 will not lieH8266 nor repentH5162: for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honourH3513 me now, I pray thee, before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and before IsraelH3478, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
So SamuelH8050 turned againH7725 afterH310 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068.
And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
NeverthelessH61 there are goodH2896 thingsH1697 foundH4672 in thee, in that thou hast taken awayH1197 the grovesH842 out of the landH776, and hast preparedH3559 thine heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AhijahH281, Behold, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 comethH935 to askH1875 a thingH1697 of thee for her sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thusH2090 and thus shalt thou sayH1696 unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh inH935, that she shall feign herself to be anotherH5234 woman.
And it was so, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272, as she came inH935 at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, Come inH935, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; why feignest thou thyself to be anotherH5234? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavyH7186 tidings. {heavy: Heb. hard}
GoH3212, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Forasmuch asH3282 I exaltedH7311 thee from amongH8432 the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And rentH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH1980+H310 me with all his heartH3824, to doH6213 that only which was rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869;
But hast doneH6213 evilH7489 above all that were beforeH6440 thee: for thou hast goneH3212 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provoke me to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458:
Therefore, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cut offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478, and will take awayH1197 the remnantH310 of the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man taketh awayH1197 dungH1557, till it be all goneH8552.
Him that diethH4191 of JeroboamH3379 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
AriseH6965 thou therefore, getH3212 thee to thine own houseH1004: and when thy feetH7272 enterH935 into the cityH5892, the childH3206 shall dieH4191.
And all IsraelH3478 shall mournH5594 for him, and buryH6912 him: for he only of JeroboamH3379 shall comeH935 to the graveH6913, because in him there is foundH4672 some goodH2896 thingH1697 toward the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379.
Moreover the LORDH3068 shall raise him upH6965 a kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, who shall cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 that dayH3117: but what? even now.
For the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 IsraelH3478, as a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325, and he shall root upH5428 IsraelH3478 out of this goodH2896 landH127, which he gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and shall scatterH2219 them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, because they have madeH6213 their grovesH842, provoking the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
And he shall giveH5414 IsraelH3478 upH5414 becauseH1558 of the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, who did sinH2398, and who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And Jeroboam'sH3379 wifeH802 aroseH6965, and departedH3212, and cameH935 to TirzahH8656: and when she cameH935 to the thresholdH5592 of the doorH1004, the childH5288 diedH4191;
And they buriedH6912 him; and all IsraelH3478 mournedH5594 for him, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the prophetH5030.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
And JehoshaphatH3092 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318 againH7725 through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {he went…: Heb. he returned and went out}
And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 me, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: because thou hast soldH4376 thyself to workH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
In whose eyesH5869 a vile personH3988 is contemnedH959; but he honourethH3513 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068. He that swearethH7650 to his own hurtH7489, and changethH4171 not.
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934 to thyself, and giveH3052 thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123 the writingH3792 unto the kingH4430, and make knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591. {rewards: or, fee}
O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923:
And forH4481 the majestyH7238 that he gaveH3052 him, allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, trembledH1934+H2112 and fearedH1763 beforeH4481 himH6925: whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he slewH1934+H6992; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he kept aliveH1934+H2418; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he set upH1934+H7313; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he put downH1934+H8214.
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
AndG2532 they sent outG649 unto himG846 theirG846 disciplesG3101 withG3326 the HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG1488 trueG227, andG2532 teachestG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225+G2532, neitherG3756 carestG3199 thouG4671 forG4012 anyG3762 man: forG1063 thou regardestG991 notG1519+G3756 the personG4383 of menG444.
