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}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
GetH3212 thee hence, and turnH6437 thee eastwardH6924, and hideH5641 thyself by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drinkH8354 of the brookH5158; and I have commandedH6680 the ravensH6158 to feedH3557 thee there.
So he wentH3212 and didH6213 according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: for he wentH3212 and dweltH3427 by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And the ravensH6158 broughtH935 him breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the morningH1242, and breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the eveningH6153; and he drankH8354 of the brookH5158.
And it came to pass afterH7093 a whileH3117, that the brookH5158 dried upH3001, because there had been no rainH1653 in the landH776. {after…: Heb. at the end of days}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, getH3212 thee to ZarephathH6886, which belongeth to ZidonH6721, and dwellH3427 there: behold, I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 womanH802 there to sustainH3557 thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to ZarephathH6886. And when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the cityH5892, behold, the widowH490 womanH802 was there gatheringH7197 of sticksH6086: and he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, FetchH3947 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a vesselH3627, that I may drinkH8354.
And as she was goingH3212 to fetchH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, BringH3947 me, I pray thee, a morselH6595 of breadH3899 in thine handH3027.
And she saidH559, As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, I haveH3426 not a cakeH4580, but an handfulH4393+H3709 of mealH7058 in a barrelH3537, and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in a cruseH6835: and, behold, I am gatheringH7197 twoH8147 sticksH6086, that I may go inH935 and dressH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it, and dieH4191.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; goH935 and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1697: but makeH6213 me thereofH8033 a littleH6996 cakeH5692 firstH7223, and bringH3318 it unto me, and afterH314 makeH6213 for thee and for thy sonH1121.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, The barrelH3537 of mealH7058 shall not wasteH3615, neither shall the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2637, until the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 sendethH5414 rainH1653 uponH6440 the earthH127. {sendeth: Heb. giveth}
And she wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of ElijahH452: and she, and he, and her houseH1004, did eatH398 many daysH3117. {many…: or, a full year}
And the barrelH3537 of mealH7058 wastedH3615 not, neither did the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2638, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 ElijahH452. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that the sonH1121 of the womanH802, the mistressH1172 of the houseH1004, fell sickH2470; and his sicknessH2483 was soH3966 soreH2389, that there was no breathH5397 leftH3498 in him.
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?
And he saidH559 unto her, GiveH5414 me thy sonH1121. And he tookH3947 him out of her bosomH2436, and carried him upH5927 into a loftH5944, where he abodeH3427, and laidH7901 him upon his own bedH4296.
And he criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, hast thou also brought evilH7489 upon the widowH490 with whom I sojournH1481, by slayingH4191 her sonH1121?
And he stretchedH4058 himself upon the childH3206 threeH7969 timesH6471, and criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, I pray thee, let this child'sH3206 soulH5315 comeH7725 into himH7130 againH7725. {stretched: Heb. measured} {into…: Heb. into his inward parts}
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of ElijahH452; and the soulH5315 of the childH3206 cameH7725 into himH7130 againH7725, and he revivedH2421.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 the childH3206, and brought him downH3381 out of the chamberH5944 into the houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 him unto his motherH517: and ElijahH452 saidH559, SeeH7200, thy sonH1121 livethH2416.
And the womanH802 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Now by thisH2088 I knowH3045 that thou art a manH376 of GodH430, and that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in thy mouthH6310 is truthH571.
EliasG2243 wasG2258 a manG444 subject to like passions asG3663 we areG2254, andG2532 he prayedG4336 earnestlyG4335 that it mightG1026 notG3361 rainG1026: andG2532 it rainedG1026 notG3756 onG1909 the earthG1093 by the space of threeG5140 yearsG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376. {subject…: of the same nature, that is, a fellow mortal} {earnestly: or, in his prayer}
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}
AndG1161 JesusG2424 being fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 returnedG5290 fromG575 JordanG2446, andG2532 was ledG71 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048,
BeingG3985 fortyG5062 daysG2250 temptedG3985 ofG5259 the devilG1228. AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 he did eatG5315 nothingG3756+G3762: andG2532 when theyG846 were endedG4931, he afterwardG5305 hungeredG3983.
AndG2532 the devilG1228 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 thou beG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, commandG2036 thisG5129 stoneG3037 thatG2443 it be madeG1096 breadG740.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 himG4314+G846, sayingG3004, It is writtenG1125, ThatG3754 manG444 shallG2198 notG3756 liveG2198 byG1909 breadG740 aloneG3441, butG235 byG1909 everyG3956 wordG4487 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 the devilG1228, takingG321 himG846 upG321 intoG1519 an highG5308 mountainG3735, shewedG1166 unto himG846 allG3956 the kingdomsG932 of the worldG3625 inG1722 a momentG4743 of timeG5550.
AndG2532 the devilG1228 saidG2036 unto himG846, AllG537 thisG5026 powerG1849 will I giveG1325 theeG4671, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of themG846: forG3754 that is deliveredG3860 unto meG1698; andG2532 toG3739 whomsoeverG1437 I willG2309 I giveG1325 itG846.
IfG1437 thouG4771 thereforeG3767 wilt worshipG4352 meG1799+G3450, allG3956 shall beG2071 thineG4675. {worship me: or, fall down before me}
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, Thou shalt worshipG4352 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316, andG2532 himG846 onlyG3441 shalt thou serveG3000.
AndG2532 he broughtG71 himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 setG2476 himG846 onG1909 a pinnacleG4419 of the templeG2411, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 thou beG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, castG906 thyselfG4572 downG2736 from henceG1782:
ForG1063+G3754 it is writtenG1125, He shall giveG1781 hisG846 angelsG32 chargeG1781 overG4012 theeG4675, to keepG1314 theeG4571:
AndG2532+G3754 inG1909 their handsG5495 they shall bearG142 theeG4571 upG142, lest at any timeG3379 thou dashG4350 thyG4675 footG4228 againstG4314 a stoneG3037.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG2036 unto himG846, It is saidG3754+G2046, Thou shaltG1598 notG3756 temptG1598 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316.
AndG2532 when the devilG1228 had endedG4931 allG3956 the temptationG3986, he departedG868 fromG575 himG846 forG891 a seasonG2540.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 returnedG5290 inG1722 the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 GalileeG1056: andG2532 there went outG1831 a fameG5345 ofG4012 himG846 throughG2596 allG3650 the region round aboutG4066.
AndG2532 heG846 taughtG1321 inG1722 theirG846 synagoguesG4864, being glorifiedG1392 ofG5259 allG3956.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 toG1519 NazarethG3478, whereG3757 he had beenG2258 brought upG5142: andG2532, asG2596 hisG846 customG1486 wasG2596, he wentG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 onG1722 the sabbathG4521 dayG2250, andG2532 stood upG450 for to readG314.
AndG2532 there was deliveredG1929 unto himG846 the bookG975 of the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268. AndG2532 when he had openedG380 the bookG975, he foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it wasG2258 writtenG1125,
The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 meG1691, becauseG1752 he hath anointedG5548 meG3165 to preach the gospelG2097 to the poorG4434; he hath sentG649 meG3165 to healG2390 the brokenheartedG4937+G2588, to preachG2784 deliveranceG859 to the captivesG164, andG2532 recovering of sightG309 to the blindG5185, to setG649 atG1722 libertyG859 them that are bruisedG2352,
To preachG2784 the acceptableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 he closedG4428 the bookG975, and he gave it againG591 to the ministerG5257, and sat downG2523. AndG2532 the eyesG3788 of all themG3956 that wereG2258 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 were fastenedG816 on himG846.
AndG1161 he beganG756 to sayG3004 untoG4314 themG846, ThisG3754 dayG4594 isG4137 thisG3778 scriptureG1124 fulfilledG4137 inG1722 yourG5216 earsG3775.
AndG2532 allG3956 bareG3140 himG846 witnessG3140, andG2532 wonderedG2296 atG1909 the graciousG5485 wordsG3056 whichG3588 proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750. AndG2532 they saidG3004, IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 Joseph'sG2501 sonG5207?
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye willG2046 surelyG3843 sayG2046 unto meG3427 thisG5026 proverbG3850, PhysicianG2395, healG2323 thyselfG4572: whatsoeverG3745 we have heardG191 doneG1096 inG1722 CapernaumG2584, doG4160 alsoG2532 hereG5602 inG1722 thyG4675 countryG3968.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, NoG3762 prophetG4396 isG2076 acceptedG1184 inG1722 his ownG846 countryG3968.
ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG5213 ofG1909 a truthG225, manyG4183 widowsG5503 wereG2258 inG1722 IsraelG2474 inG1722 the daysG2250 of EliasG2243, whenG3753 the heavenG3772 was shut upG2808+G1909 threeG5140 yearsG2094 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 greatG3173 famineG3042 wasG1096 throughoutG1909 allG3956 the landG1093;
ButG2532 untoG4314 noneG3762 of themG846 wasG3992 EliasG2243 sentG3992, saveG1508 untoG1519 SareptaG4558, a city of SidonG4605, untoG4314 a womanG1135 that was a widowG5503.
AndG2532 manyG4183 lepersG3015 wereG2258 inG1722 IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of EliseusG1666 the prophetG4396; andG2532 noneG3762 of themG846 was cleansedG2511, savingG1508 NaamanG3497 the SyrianG4948.
AndG2532 all theyG3956 inG1722 the synagogueG4864, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023, were filledG4130 with wrathG2372,
AndG2532 rose upG450, and thrustG1544 himG846 out ofG1854 the cityG4172, andG2532 ledG71 himG846 untoG2193 the browG3790 of the hillG3735 whereonG1909+G3739 theirG846 cityG4172 was builtG3618, thatG1519 they might castG2630 himG846 down headlongG2630. {brow: or, edge}
ButG1161 heG846 passingG1330 throughG1223 the midstG3319 of themG846 went his wayG4198,
AndG2532 came downG2718 toG1519 CapernaumG2584, a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, andG2532 taughtG1321 themG846+G2258 onG1722 the sabbath daysG4521.
AndG2532 they were astonishedG1605 atG1909 hisG846 doctrineG1322: forG3754 hisG846 wordG3056 wasG2258 withG1722 powerG1849.
AndG2532 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 there wasG2258 a manG444, which hadG2192 a spiritG4151 of an uncleanG169 devilG1140, andG2532 cried outG349 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456,
SayingG3004, Let us aloneG1436; whatG5101 have we to doG2254 with theeG4671+G2532, thou JesusG2424 of NazarethG3479? art thou comeG2064 to destroyG622 usG2248? I knowG1492 theeG4571 whoG5101 thou artG1488; the Holy OneG40 of GodG2316. {Let…: or, Away}
AndG2532 JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Hold thy peaceG5392, andG2532 comeG1831 out ofG1537 himG846. AndG2532 when the devilG1140 had thrownG4496 himG846 inG1519 the midstG3319, he cameG1831 out ofG575 himG846, and hurtG984 himG846 notG3367.
AndG2532 they wereG1096 allG1909+G3956 amazedG2285, andG2532 spakeG4814 amongG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 a wordG3056 is thisG3778! forG3754 withG1722 authorityG1849 andG2532 powerG1411 he commandethG2004 the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, andG2532 they come outG1831.
AndG2532 the fameG2279 ofG4012 himG846 went outG1607 intoG1519 everyG3956 placeG5117 of the country round aboutG4066.
AndG1161 he aroseG450 out ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 Simon'sG4613 houseG3614. AndG1161 Simon'sG4613 wife's motherG3994 wasG2258 taken withG4912 a greatG3173 feverG4446; andG2532 they besoughtG2065 himG846 forG4012 herG846.
AndG2532 he stoodG2186 overG1883 herG846, and rebukedG2008 the feverG4446; andG2532 it leftG863 herG846: and immediatelyG3916 she aroseG450 andG1161 ministeredG1247 unto themG846.
NowG1161 when the sunG2246 was settingG1416, allG3956 they thatG3745 hadG2192 any sickG770 with diversG4164 diseasesG3554 broughtG71 themG846 untoG4314 himG846; andG1161 he laidG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846, and healedG2323 themG846.
AndG1161 devilsG1140 alsoG2532 cameG1831 out ofG575 manyG4183, crying outG2896, andG2532 sayingG3004+G3754, ThouG4771 artG1488 ChristG5547 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. AndG2532 he rebukingG2008 them sufferedG1439 themG846 notG3756 to speakG2980: forG3754 they knewG1492 that heG846 wasG1511 ChristG5547. {to speak…: or, to say that they knew him to be Christ}
AndG1161 when it wasG1096 dayG2250, he departedG1831 and wentG4198 intoG1519 a desertG2048 placeG5117: andG2532 the peopleG3793 soughtG2212 himG846, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG2193 himG846, andG2532 stayedG2722 himG846, that he should notG3361 departG4198 fromG575 themG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846+G3754, IG3165 mustG1163 preachG2097 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 to otherG2087 citiesG4172 alsoG2532: forG3754 thereforeG1519+G5124 am I sentG649.
AndG2532 he preachedG2258+G2784 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 of GalileeG1056.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 in his heartH3820, I shall now perishH5595 oneH259 dayH3117 by the handH3027 of SaulH7586: there is nothing betterH2896 for me than thatH3588 I should speedilyH4422 escapeH4422 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; and SaulH7586 shall despairH2976 of me, to seekH1245 me any more in any coastH1366 of IsraelH3478: so shall I escapeH4422 out of his handH3027. {perish: Heb. be consumed}
But he himself wentH1980 a day'sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and sat downH3427 under aH259 juniper treeH7574: and he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191; and saidH559, It is enoughH7227; now, O LORDH3068, take awayH3947 my lifeH5315; for I am not betterH2896 than my fathersH1. {for himself: Heb. for his life}
Then spakeH1696 ElishaH477 unto the womanH802, whose sonH1121 he had restored to lifeH2421, sayingH559, AriseH6965, and goH3212 thou and thine householdH1004, and sojournH1481 wheresoeverH834 thou canst sojournH1481: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 for a famineH7458; and it shall also comeH935 upon the landH776 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the womanH802 aroseH6965, and didH6213 after the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and she wentH3212 with her householdH1004, and sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And it came to pass at the sevenH7651 years'H8141 endH7097, that the womanH802 returnedH7725 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430: and she went forthH3318 to cryH6817 unto the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her landH7704.
And the kingH4428 talkedH1696 with GehaziH1522 the servantH5288 of the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, TellH5608 me, I pray thee, all the great thingsH1419 that ElishaH477 hath doneH6213.
And it came to pass, as he was tellingH5608 the kingH4428 how he had restoredH2421 a dead bodyH4191 to lifeH2421, that, behold, the womanH802, whose sonH1121 he had restored to lifeH2421, criedH6817 to the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her landH7704. And GehaziH1522 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, this is the womanH802, and this is her sonH1121, whom ElishaH477 restored to lifeH2421.
And when the kingH4428 askedH7592 the womanH802, she toldH5608 him. So the kingH4428 appointedH5414 unto her a certainH259 officerH5631, sayingH559, RestoreH7725 all that was hers, and all the fruitsH8393 of the fieldH7704 since the dayH3117 that she leftH5800 the landH776, even until now. {officer: or, eunuch}
And ElishaH477 cameH935 to DamascusH1834; and BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sickH2470; and it was toldH5046 him, sayingH559, The manH376 of GodH430 is comeH935 hitherH2008.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto HazaelH2371, TakeH3947 a presentH4503 in thine handH3027, and goH3212, meetH7125 the manH376 of GodH430, and enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483?
So HazaelH2371 wentH3212 to meetH7125 him, and tookH3947 a presentH4503 with himH3027, even of every good thingH2898 of DamascusH1834, fortyH705 camels'H1581 burdenH4853, and cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, and saidH559, Thy sonH1121 BenhadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 hath sentH7971 me to thee, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483? {with…: Heb. in his hand}
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, sayH559 unto him, Thou mayest certainlyH2421 recoverH2421: howbeit the LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me that he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And he settledH5975 his countenanceH6440 stedfastlyH7760, until he was ashamedH954: and the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058. {stedfastly: Heb. and set it}
And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: their strong holdsH4013 wilt thou setH7971 on fireH784, and their young menH970 wilt thou slayH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 their childrenH5768, and rip upH1234 their women with childH2030.
And HazaelH2371 saidH559, But what, is thy servantH5650 a dogH3611, that he should doH6213 this greatH1419 thingH1697? And ElishaH477 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me that thou shalt be kingH4428 over SyriaH758.
So he departedH3212 from ElishaH477, and cameH935 to his masterH113; who saidH559 to him, What saidH559 ElishaH477 to thee? And he answeredH559, He toldH559 me that thou shouldest surelyH2421 recoverH2421.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that he tookH3947 a thick clothH4346, and dippedH2881 it in waterH4325, and spreadH6566 it on his faceH6440, so that he diedH4191: and HazaelH2371 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And in the fifthH2568 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 being then kingH4428 of JudahH3063, JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. {began…: Heb. reigned}
ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Yet the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063 for DavidH1732 his servant'sH5650 sake, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 him alwayH3117 a lightH5216, and to his childrenH1121. {light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
So JoramH3141 went overH5674 to ZairH6811, and all the chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him aboutH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168.
Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoramH3141, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And JoramH3141 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the twelfthH8147+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 begin to reignH4427.
TwoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {daughter: or, granddaughter}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as did the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he was the son in lawH2860 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256.
And he wentH3212 with JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 to the warH4421 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 in RamothgileadH7433+H1568; and the SyriansH761 woundedH5221 JoramH3141.
And kingH4428 JoramH3141 went backH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221 him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. And AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 in JezreelH3157, because he was sickH2470. {which…: Heb. wherewith the Syrians had wounded} {Ramah: called Ramoth} {sick: Heb. wounded}
And ElishaH477 the prophetH5030 calledH7121 oneH259 of the childrenH1121 of the prophetsH5030, and saidH559 unto him, Gird upH2296 thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947 this boxH6378 of oilH8081 in thine handH3027, and goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568:
And when thou comestH935 thither, look outH7200 there JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and go inH935, and make him arise upH6965 from amongH8432 his brethrenH251, and carryH935 him to an innerH2315 chamberH2315; {inner…: Heb. chamber in a chamber}
Then takeH3947 the boxH6378 of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it on his headH7218, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. Then openH6605 the doorH1817, and fleeH5127, and tarryH2442 not.
So the young manH5288, even the young manH5288 the prophetH5030, wentH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568.
And when he cameH935, behold, the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 were sittingH3427; and he saidH559, I have an errandH1697 to thee, O captainH8269. And JehuH3058 saidH559, Unto which of all us? And he saidH559, To thee, O captainH8269.
And he aroseH6965, and wentH935 into the houseH1004; and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, even over IsraelH3478.
And thou shalt smiteH5221 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 thy masterH113, that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of all the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, at the handH3027 of JezebelH348.
For the whole houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6: and I will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478:
And I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281:
And the dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, and there shall be none to buryH6912 her. And he openedH6605 the doorH1817, and fledH5127.
Then JehuH3058 came forthH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and one saidH559 unto him, Is all wellH7965? wherefore cameH935 this madH7696 fellow to thee? And he saidH559 unto them, Ye knowH3045 the manH376, and his communicationH7879.
And they saidH559, It is falseH8267; tellH5046 us now. And he saidH559, Thus and thus spakeH559 he to me, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
Then they hastedH4116, and tookH3947 every manH376 his garmentH899, and putH7760 it under him on the topH1634 of the stairsH4609, and blewH8628 with trumpetsH7782, sayingH559, JehuH3058 is kingH4427. {is king: Heb. reigneth}
So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 had keptH8104 RamothgileadH7433+H1568, he and all IsraelH3478, becauseH6440 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.
But kingH4428 JoramH3088 was returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221 him, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.) And JehuH3058 saidH559, If it beH3426 your mindsH5315, then let noneH408 go forthH3318 nor escapeH6412 out of the cityH5892 to goH3212 to tellH5046 it in JezreelH3157. {Joram: Heb. Jehoram but not in verse sixteen} {had given: Heb. smote} {let none…: Heb. let no escaper go, etc.}
So JehuH3058 rode in a chariotH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157; for JoramH3141 layH7901 there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 was come downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.
And there stoodH5975 a watchmanH6822 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157, and he spiedH7200 the companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, I seeH7200 a companyH8229. And JoramH3088 saidH559, TakeH3947 an horsemanH7395, and sendH7971 to meetH7125 them, and let him sayH559, Is it peaceH7965?
So there wentH3212 one on horsebackH7392+H5483 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he cometh not againH7725.
Then he sent outH7971 a secondH8145 on horsebackH7392+H5483, which cameH935 to them, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me.
And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 even unto them, and cometh not againH7725: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drivethH5090 furiouslyH7697. {driving: or, marching} {furiously: Heb. in madness}
And JoramH3088 saidH559, Make readyH631. And his chariotH7393 was made readyH631. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they went outH3318 againstH7125 JehuH3058, and metH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. {Make ready: Heb. Bind} {met: Heb. found}
And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the whoredomsH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?
And JoramH3088 turnedH2015 his handsH3027, and fledH5127, and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274.
And JehuH3058 drew a bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027, and smoteH5221 JehoramH3088 between his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 went outH3318 at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH3766 in his chariotH7393. {drew…: Heb. filled his hand with a bow} {sunk: Heb. bowed}
Then saidH559 Jehu to BidkarH920 his captainH7991, Take upH5375, and castH7993 him in the portionH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158: for rememberH2142 how that, when I and thou rodeH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, the LORDH3068 laidH5375 this burdenH4853 upon him;
Surely I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will requiteH7999 thee in this platH2513, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Now therefore takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the platH2513 of ground, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. {blood: Heb. bloods} {plat: or, portion}
But when AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 followedH7291 afterH310 him, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 him also in the chariotH4818. And they did so at the going upH4608 to GurH1483, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 there.
And his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him in a chariot to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his sepulchreH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And in the eleventhH259+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began AhaziahH274 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.
And when JehuH3058 was comeH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it; and she paintedH7760+H6320 her faceH5869, and tiredH3190 her headH7218, and looked outH8259 at a windowH2474. {painted…: Heb. put her eyes in painting}
And as JehuH3058 entered inH935 at the gateH8179, she saidH559, Had ZimriH2174 peaceH7965, who slewH2026 his masterH113?
And he lifted upH5375 his faceH6440 to the windowH2474, and saidH559, Who is on my side? who? And there looked outH8259 to him twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631. {eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
And he saidH559, Throw her downH8058. So they threw her downH8058: and some of her bloodH1818 was sprinkledH5137 on the wallH7023, and on the horsesH5483: and he trode her under footH7429.
And when he was come inH935, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and saidH559, GoH6485, see now this cursedH779 woman, and buryH6912 her: for she is a king'sH4428 daughterH1323.
And they wentH3212 to buryH6912 her: but they foundH4672 no more of her thanH518 the skullH1538, and the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027.
Wherefore they came againH7725, and toldH5046 him. And he saidH559, This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, In the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157 shall dogsH3611 eatH398 the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the carcaseH5038 of JezebelH348 shall be as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157; so that they shall not sayH559, This is JezebelH348.
Then MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against IsraelH3478 afterH310 the deathH4194 of AhabH256.
And AhaziahH274 fell downH5307 through a latticeH7639 in his upper chamberH5944 that was in SamariaH8111, and was sickH2470: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397, and saidH559 unto them, GoH3212, enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138 whether I shall recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483.
But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to meetH7125 the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111, and sayH1696 unto them, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that ye goH1980 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138?
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. And ElijahH452 departedH3212. {Thou shalt…: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it}
And when the messengersH4397 turned backH7725 unto him, he saidH559 unto them, Why are ye nowH2088 turned backH7725?
And they saidH559 unto him, There cameH5927 a manH376 upH5927 to meetH7125 us, and saidH559 unto us, GoH3212, turn againH7725 unto the kingH4428 that sentH7971 you, and sayH1696 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that thou sendestH7971 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And he saidH1696 unto them, What mannerH4941 of manH376 was he which came upH5927 to meetH7125 you, and toldH1696 you these wordsH1697? {What…: Heb. What was the manner of the man}
And they answeredH559 him, He was an hairyH8181 manH1167+H376, and girtH247 with a girdleH232 of leatherH5785 about his loinsH4975. And he saidH559, It is ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 unto him a captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And he went upH5927 to him: and, behold, he satH3427 on the topH7218 of an hillH2022. And he spakeH1696 unto him, Thou manH376 of GodH430, the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, Come downH3381.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 to the captainH8269 of fiftyH2572, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, then let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And there came downH3381 fireH784 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
AgainH7725 also he sentH7971 unto him anotherH312 captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And he answeredH6030 and saidH1696 unto him, O manH376 of GodH430, thus hath the kingH4428 saidH559, Come downH3381 quicklyH4120.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 unto them, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And the fireH784 of GodH430 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
And he sentH7971 againH7725 a captainH8269 of the thirdH7992 fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And the thirdH7992 captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 went upH5927, and cameH935 and fellH3766 on his kneesH1290 beforeH5048 ElijahH452, and besoughtH2603 him, and saidH1696 unto him, O manH376 of GodH430, I pray thee, let my lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of these fiftyH2572 thy servantsH5650, be preciousH3365 in thy sightH5869. {fell: Heb. bowed}
Behold, there cameH3381 fireH784 downH3381 from heavenH8064, and burnt upH398 the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the formerH7223 fiftiesH2572 with their fiftiesH2572: therefore let my lifeH5315 now be preciousH3365 in thy sightH5869.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto ElijahH452, Go downH3381 with him: be not afraidH3372 of himH6440. And he aroseH6965, and went downH3381 with him unto the kingH4428.
And he saidH1696 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Forasmuch as thou hast sentH7971 messengersH4397 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138, is it not because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478 to enquireH1875 of his wordH1697? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 off that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
So he diedH4191 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which ElijahH452 had spokenH1696. And JehoramH3088 reignedH4427 in his stead in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; because he had no sonH1121.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhaziahH274 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
