And they continuedH3427 threeH7969 yearsH8141 without warH4421 between SyriaH758 and IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, that JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came downH3381 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, KnowH3045 ye that RamothH7433 in GileadH1568 is ours, and we be stillH2814, and takeH3947 it not out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758? {still…: Heb. silent from taking it}
And he saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to battleH4421 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, I am as thouH3644 art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for the LordH136 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 besidesH5750, that we might enquireH1875 of him?
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, HastenH4116 hither MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. {officer: or, eunuch}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, having put onH3847 their robesH899, in a void placeH1637 in the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them. {void…: Heb. floor}
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270: and he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou have consumedH3615 them.
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
And the messengerH4397 that was goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 unto the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, what the LORDH3068 saithH559 unto me, that will I speakH1696.
So he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4321, shall we goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall we forbearH2308? And he answeredH559 him, GoH5927, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tellH1696 me nothing but that which is trueH571 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?
And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the hillsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have not a shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113: let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would prophesyH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?
And he saidH559, HearH8085 thou therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall persuadeH6601 AhabH256, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one saidH559 on this mannerH3541, and another saidH559 on that mannerH3541. {persuade: or, deceive}
And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will persuadeH6601 him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
But ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 went nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH335 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 in that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 unto AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king'sH4428 sonH1121;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prisonH1004+H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at allH7725 in peaceH7965, the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, O peopleH5971, every one of you.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, I will disguiseH2664 myself, and enterH935 into the battleH4421; but put thou onH3847 thy robesH899. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself, and wentH935 into the battleH4421. {I will…: or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battle}
But the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 commandedH6680 his thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 captainsH8269 that had rule over his chariotsH7393, sayingH559, FightH3898 neither with smallH6996 nor greatH1419, save only with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, that they saidH559, Surely it is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. And they turned asideH5493 to fightH3898 against him: and JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 perceivedH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that they turned backH7725 from pursuingH310 him.
And a certain manH376 drewH4900 a bowH7198 at a ventureH8537, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 between the jointsH1694 of the harnessH8302: wherefore he saidH559 unto the driver of his chariotH7395, TurnH2015 thine handH3027, and carry me outH3318 of the hostH4264; for I am woundedH2470. {at a…: Heb. in his simplicity} {joints…: Heb. joints and the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
And the battleH4421 increasedH5927 that dayH3117: and the kingH4428 was stayed upH5975 in his chariotH4818 againstH5227 the SyriansH758, and diedH4191 at evenH6153: and the bloodH1818 ran outH3332 of the woundH4347 into the midstH2436 of the chariotH7393. {increased: Heb. ascended} {midst: Heb. bosom}
And there wentH5674 a proclamationH7440 throughout the hostH4264 about the going downH935 of the sunH8121, sayingH559, Every manH376 to his cityH5892, and every manH376 to his own countryH776.
So the kingH4428 diedH4191, and was broughtH935 to SamariaH8111; and they buriedH6912 the kingH4428 in SamariaH8111. {was brought: Heb. came}
And one washedH7857 the chariotH7393 in the poolH1295 of SamariaH8111; and the dogsH3611 licked upH3952 his bloodH1818; and they washedH7364 his armourH2185; according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhabH256, and all that he didH6213, and the ivoryH8127 houseH1004 which he madeH1129, and all the citiesH5892 that he builtH1129, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
So AhabH256 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AsaH609 began to reignH4427 over JudahH3063 in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
JehoshaphatH3092 was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.
And he walkedH3212 in all the waysH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1; he turned not asideH5493 from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068: nevertheless the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493; for the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 yet in the high placesH1116.
And JehoshaphatH3092 made peaceH7999 with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, and his mightH1369 that he shewedH6213, and how he warredH3898, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And the remnantH3499 of the sodomitesH6945, which remainedH7604 in the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AsaH609, he tookH1197 out of the landH776.
There was then no kingH4428 in EdomH123: a deputyH5324 was kingH4428.
JehoshaphatH3092 madeH6213+H6240 shipsH591 of TharshishH8659 to goH3212 to OphirH211 for goldH2091: but they wentH1980 not; for the shipsH591 were brokenH7665 at EziongeberH6100. {made…: or, had ten ships}
Then saidH559 AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Let my servantsH5650 goH3212 with thy servantsH5650 in the shipsH591. But JehoshaphatH3092 wouldH14 not.
And JehoshaphatH3092 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and JehoramH3088 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the seventeenthH7651+H6240 yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 two yearsH8141 over IsraelH3478.
And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1, and in the wayH1870 of his motherH517, and in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398:
For he servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him, and provoked to angerH3707 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, according to all that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872, DepartH3212, and go upH5927 hence, thou and the peopleH5971 which thou hast brought upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, unto the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 it:
And I will sendH7971 an angelH4397 beforeH6440 thee; and I will drive outH1644 the CanaaniteH3669, the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983:
Unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706: for I will not go upH5927 in the midstH7130 of thee; for thou art a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971: lest I consumeH3615 thee in the wayH1870.
And when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 these evilH7451 tidingsH1697, they mournedH56: and no manH376 did putH7896 on him his ornamentsH5716.
For the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye are a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971: I will come upH5927 into the midstH7130 of thee in aH259 momentH7281, and consumeH3615 thee: therefore now put offH3381 thy ornamentsH5716 from thee, that I may knowH3045 what to doH6213 unto thee.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 strippedH5337 themselves of their ornamentsH5716 by the mountH2022 HorebH2722.
And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the tabernacleH168, and pitchedH5186 it withoutH2351 the campH4264, afar offH7368 from the campH4264, and calledH7121 it the TabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. And it came to pass, that every one which soughtH1245 the LORDH3068 went outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, which was withoutH2351 the campH4264.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 went outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168, that all the peopleH5971 rose upH6965, and stoodH5324 every manH376 at his tentH168 doorH6607, and lookedH5027 afterH310 MosesH4872, until he was goneH935 into the tabernacleH168.
And it came to pass, as MosesH4872 enteredH935 into the tabernacleH168, the cloudyH6051 pillarH5982 descendedH3381, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168, and the LORD talkedH1696 with MosesH4872.
And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the cloudyH6051 pillarH5982 standH5975 at the tabernacleH168 doorH6607: and all the peopleH5971 rose upH6965 and worshippedH7812, every manH376 in his tentH168 doorH6607.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 faceH6440 to faceH6440, as a manH376 speakethH1696 unto his friendH7453. And he turned againH7725 into the campH4264: but his servantH8334 JoshuaH3091, the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a young manH5288, departedH4185 not outH8432 of the tabernacleH168.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, SeeH7200, thou sayestH559 unto me, Bring upH5927 this peopleH5971: and thou hast not let me knowH3045 whom thou wilt sendH7971 with me. Yet thou hast saidH559, I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034, and thou hast also foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, shewH3045 me now thy wayH1870, that I may knowH3045 thee, that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869: and considerH7200 that this nationH1471 is thy peopleH5971.
And he saidH559, My presenceH6440 shall goH3212 with thee, and I will give thee restH5117.
And he saidH559 unto him, If thy presenceH6440 goH1980 not with me, carry us not upH5927 hence.
For wherein shall it be knownH3045 hereH645 that I and thy peopleH5971 have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869? is it not in that thou goestH3212 with us? so shall we be separatedH6395, I and thy peopleH5971, from all the peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I will doH6213 this thingH1697 also that thou hast spokenH1696: for thou hast foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869, and I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034.
And he saidH559, I beseech theeH4994, shewH7200 me thy gloryH3519.
And he saidH559, I will make all my goodnessH2898 passH5674 before thee, and I will proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 thee; and will be graciousH2603 to whom I will be graciousH2603, and will shew mercyH7355 on whom I will shew mercyH7355.
And he saidH559, Thou canstH3201 not seeH7200 my faceH6440: for there shall no manH120 seeH7200 me, and liveH2425.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, there is a placeH4725 by me, and thou shalt standH5324 upon a rockH6697:
And it shall come to pass, while my gloryH3519 passeth byH5674, that I will putH7760 thee in a cliftH5366 of the rockH6697, and will coverH5526 thee with my handH3709 whileH5704 I pass byH5674:
And I will takeH5493 away mine handH3709, and thou shalt seeH7200 my back partsH268: but my faceH6440 shall not be seenH7200.
And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH3212, shewH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929. {that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself.
And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452?
And he answeredH559 him, I am: goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me?
As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not.
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.
Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 me.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559 unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916 IsraelH3478?
And he answeredH559, I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212+H310 BaalimH1168.
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
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.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. {a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457 upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290,
And saidH559 to his servantH5288, Go upH5927 now, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559, Go againH7725 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was on ElijahH452; and he girded upH8151 his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 beforeH6440 AhabH256 to the entranceH935 of JezreelH3157. {to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
And AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 all that ElijahH452 had doneH6213, and withal how he had slainH2026 all the prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719.
Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 unto ElijahH452, sayingH559, So let the godsH430 doH6213 to me, and moreH3254 also, if I makeH7760 not thy lifeH5315 as the lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them by to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256.
And when he sawH7200 that, he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 for his lifeH5315, and cameH935 to BeershebaH884, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and leftH3240 his servantH5288 there.
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}
And as he layH7901 and sleptH3462 under aH259 juniper treeH7574, behold, then an angelH4397 touchedH5060 him, and saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965 and eatH398.
And he lookedH5027, and, behold, there was a cakeH5692 baken on the coalsH7529, and a cruseH6835 of waterH4325 at his headH4763. And he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and laid him downH7901 againH7725. {head: Heb. bolster}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 came againH7725 the second timeH8145, and touchedH5060 him, and saidH559, AriseH6965 and eatH398; because the journeyH1870 is too greatH7227 for thee.
And he aroseH6965, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and wentH3212 in the strengthH3581 of that meatH396 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 unto HorebH2722 the mountH2022 of GodH430.
And he cameH935 thither unto a caveH4631, and lodgedH3885 there; and, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, and he saidH559 unto him, What doest thou here, ElijahH452?
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
And he saidH559, Go forthH3318, and standH5975 upon the mountH2022 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And, behold, the LORDH3068 passed byH5674, and a greatH1419 and strongH2389 windH7307 rentH6561 the mountainsH2022, and brake in piecesH7665 the rocksH5553 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; but the LORDH3068 was not in the windH7307: and afterH310 the windH7307 an earthquakeH7494; but the LORDH3068 was not in the earthquakeH7494:
And afterH310 the earthquakeH7494 a fireH784; but the LORDH3068 was not in the fireH784: and afterH310 the fireH784 a stillH1827 smallH1851 voiceH6963.
And it was so, when ElijahH452 heardH8085 it, that he wrappedH3874 his faceH6440 in his mantleH155, and went outH3318, and stoodH5975 in the entering inH6607 of the caveH4631. And, behold, there came a voiceH6963 unto him, and saidH559, What doest thou here, ElijahH452?
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: because the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, returnH7725 on thy wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of DamascusH1834: and when thou comestH935, anointH4886 HazaelH2371 to be kingH4428 over SyriaH758:
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 shalt thou anointH4886 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 of AbelmeholahH65 shalt thou anointH4886 to be prophetH5030 in thy room. {Elisha: Gr. Eliseus}
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapethH4422 the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slayH4191: and him that escapethH4422 from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slayH4191.
Yet I have leftH7604 me sevenH7651 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478, all the kneesH1290 which have not bowedH3766 unto BaalH1168, and every mouthH6310 which hath not kissedH5401 him. {I have…: or, I will leave}
So he departedH3212 thence, and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, who was plowingH2790 with twelveH8147+H6240 yokeH6776 of oxen beforeH6440 him, and he with the twelfthH8147+H6240: and ElijahH452 passedH5674 by him, and castH7993 his mantleH155 upon him.
And he leftH5800 the oxenH1241, and ranH7323 afterH310 ElijahH452, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my motherH517, and then I will followH3212+H310 thee. And he saidH559 unto him, Go backH3212 againH7725: for what have I doneH6213 to thee? {Go…: Heb. Go return}
And he returned backH7725 from himH310, and tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and slewH2076 them, and boiledH1310 their fleshH1320 with the instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, and they did eatH398. Then he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 ElijahH452, and ministeredH8334 unto him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872, DepartH3212, and go upH5927 hence, thou and the peopleH5971 which thou hast brought upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, unto the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 it:
And I will sendH7971 an angelH4397 beforeH6440 thee; and I will drive outH1644 the CanaaniteH3669, the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983:
Unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706: for I will not go upH5927 in the midstH7130 of thee; for thou art a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971: lest I consumeH3615 thee in the wayH1870.
And when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 these evilH7451 tidingsH1697, they mournedH56: and no manH376 did putH7896 on him his ornamentsH5716.
For the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye are a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971: I will come upH5927 into the midstH7130 of thee in aH259 momentH7281, and consumeH3615 thee: therefore now put offH3381 thy ornamentsH5716 from thee, that I may knowH3045 what to doH6213 unto thee.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 strippedH5337 themselves of their ornamentsH5716 by the mountH2022 HorebH2722.
And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the tabernacleH168, and pitchedH5186 it withoutH2351 the campH4264, afar offH7368 from the campH4264, and calledH7121 it the TabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. And it came to pass, that every one which soughtH1245 the LORDH3068 went outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, which was withoutH2351 the campH4264.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 went outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168, that all the peopleH5971 rose upH6965, and stoodH5324 every manH376 at his tentH168 doorH6607, and lookedH5027 afterH310 MosesH4872, until he was goneH935 into the tabernacleH168.
And it came to pass, as MosesH4872 enteredH935 into the tabernacleH168, the cloudyH6051 pillarH5982 descendedH3381, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168, and the LORD talkedH1696 with MosesH4872.
And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the cloudyH6051 pillarH5982 standH5975 at the tabernacleH168 doorH6607: and all the peopleH5971 rose upH6965 and worshippedH7812, every manH376 in his tentH168 doorH6607.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 faceH6440 to faceH6440, as a manH376 speakethH1696 unto his friendH7453. And he turned againH7725 into the campH4264: but his servantH8334 JoshuaH3091, the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a young manH5288, departedH4185 not outH8432 of the tabernacleH168.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, SeeH7200, thou sayestH559 unto me, Bring upH5927 this peopleH5971: and thou hast not let me knowH3045 whom thou wilt sendH7971 with me. Yet thou hast saidH559, I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034, and thou hast also foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, shewH3045 me now thy wayH1870, that I may knowH3045 thee, that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869: and considerH7200 that this nationH1471 is thy peopleH5971.
And he saidH559, My presenceH6440 shall goH3212 with thee, and I will give thee restH5117.
And he saidH559 unto him, If thy presenceH6440 goH1980 not with me, carry us not upH5927 hence.
For wherein shall it be knownH3045 hereH645 that I and thy peopleH5971 have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869? is it not in that thou goestH3212 with us? so shall we be separatedH6395, I and thy peopleH5971, from all the peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I will doH6213 this thingH1697 also that thou hast spokenH1696: for thou hast foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869, and I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034.
And he saidH559, I beseech theeH4994, shewH7200 me thy gloryH3519.
And he saidH559, I will make all my goodnessH2898 passH5674 before thee, and I will proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 thee; and will be graciousH2603 to whom I will be graciousH2603, and will shew mercyH7355 on whom I will shew mercyH7355.
And he saidH559, Thou canstH3201 not seeH7200 my faceH6440: for there shall no manH120 seeH7200 me, and liveH2425.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, there is a placeH4725 by me, and thou shalt standH5324 upon a rockH6697:
And it shall come to pass, while my gloryH3519 passeth byH5674, that I will putH7760 thee in a cliftH5366 of the rockH6697, and will coverH5526 thee with my handH3709 whileH5704 I pass byH5674:
And I will takeH5493 away mine handH3709, and thou shalt seeH7200 my back partsH268: but my faceH6440 shall not be seenH7200.
