And it came to pass, when the LORDH3068 would take upH5927 ElijahH452 into heavenH8064 by a whirlwindH5591, that ElijahH452 wentH3212 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, TarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to BethelH1008. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they went downH3381 to BethelH1008.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, TarryH3427, I pray thee, here; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went onH3212.
And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 to viewH5048 afar offH7350: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by JordanH3383. {to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantleH155, and wrapped it togetherH1563, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hither and thither, so that they twoH8147 went overH5674 on dryH2724 ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone overH5674, that ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall doH6213 for thee, before I be taken awayH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I pray thee, let a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of thy spiritH7307 be upon me.
And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hard thingH7185: nevertheless, if thou seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. {Thou hast…: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}
And it came to pass, as they stillH1980 went onH1980, and talkedH1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, and partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunderH996; and ElijahH452 went upH5927 by a whirlwindH5591 into heavenH8064.
And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478, and the horsemenH6571 thereof. And he sawH7200 him no more: and he took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and rentH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168.
He took upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and went backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383; {bank: Heb. lip}
And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, Where is the LORDH3068 GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they partedH2673 hither and thither: and ElishaH477 went overH5674.
And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 which were to view at JerichoH3405 sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meetH7125 him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him.
And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there beH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH1121+H582; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest peradventure the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971. {strong…: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains}
And when they urgedH6484 him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not.
And when they came againH7725 to him, (for he tarriedH3427 at JerichoH3405,) he saidH559 unto them, Did I not sayH559 unto you, GoH3212 not?
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Behold, I pray thee, the situationH4186 of this cityH5892 is pleasantH2896, as my lordH113 seethH7200: but the waterH4325 is naughtH7451, and the groundH776 barrenH7921. {barren: Heb. causing to miscarry}
And he saidH559, BringH3947 me a newH2319 cruseH6746, and putH7760 saltH4417 therein. And they broughtH3947 it to him.
And he went forthH3318 unto the springH4161 of the watersH4325, and castH7993 the saltH4417 in there, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have healedH7495 these watersH4325; there shall not be from thence any more deathH4194 or barrenH7921 land.
So the watersH4325 were healedH7495 unto this dayH3117, according to the sayingH1697 of ElishaH477 which he spakeH1696.
And he went upH5927 from thence unto BethelH1008: and as he was going upH5927 by the wayH1870, there came forthH3318 littleH6996 childrenH5288 out of the cityH5892, and mockedH7046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, thou bald headH7142; go upH5927, thou bald headH7142.
And he turnedH6437 backH310, and lookedH7200 on them, and cursedH7043 them in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. And there came forthH3318 twoH8147 she bearsH1677 out of the woodH3293, and tareH1234 fortyH705 and twoH8147 childrenH3206 of them.
And he wentH3212 from thence to mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and from thence he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
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.
In his daysH3117 did HielH2419 the BetheliteH1017 buildH1129 JerichoH3405: he laid the foundationH3245 thereof in AbiramH48 his firstbornH1060, and set upH5324 the gatesH1817 thereof in his youngestH6810 son SegubH7687, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.
Until the spiritH7307 be pouredH6168 upon us from on highH4791, and the wildernessH4057 be a fruitful fieldH3759, and the fruitful fieldH3759 be countedH2803 for a forestH3293.
Then judgmentH4941 shall dwellH7931 in the wildernessH4057, and righteousnessH6666 remainH3427 in the fruitful fieldH3759.
And the workH4639 of righteousnessH6666 shall be peaceH7965; and the effectH5656 of righteousnessH6666 quietnessH8252 and assuranceH983 forH5704 everH5769.
And my peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in a peaceableH7965 habitationH5116, and in sureH4009 dwellingsH4908, and in quietH7600 resting placesH4496;
And by a prophetH5030 the LORDH3068 broughtH5927 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, and by a prophetH5030 was he preservedH8104.
ComeH935 to BethelH1008, and transgressH6586; at GilgalH1537 multiplyH7235 transgressionH6586; and bringH935 your sacrificesH2077 every morningH1242, and your tithesH4643 after threeH7969 yearsH3117: {three…: Heb. three years of days}
All their wickednessH7451 is in GilgalH1537: for there I hatedH8130 them: for the wickednessH7455 of their doingsH4611 I will drive them outH1644 of mine houseH1004, I will loveH160 them no moreH3254: all their princesH8269 are revoltersH5637.
And, behold, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233;
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all places whitherH834 thou goestH3212, and will bring thee againH7725 into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, untilH834 I have doneH6213 that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
HoH1945, every one that thirstethH6771, comeH3212 ye to the watersH4325, and he that hath no moneyH3701; comeH3212 ye, buyH7666, and eatH398; yea, comeH3212, buyH7666 wineH3196 and milkH2461 without moneyH3701 and without priceH4242.
Wherefore do ye spendH8254 moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labourH3018 for that which satisfiethH7654 notH3808? hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. {spend: Heb. weigh}
InclineH5186 your earH241, and comeH3212 unto me: hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421; and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with you, even the sureH539 merciesH2617 of DavidH1732.
Behold, I have givenH5414 him for a witnessH5707 to the peopleH3816, a leaderH5057 and commanderH6680 to the peopleH3816.
Behold, thou shalt callH7121 a nationH1471 that thou knowestH3045 not, and nationsH1471 that knewH3045 not thee shall runH7323 unto thee because of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and for the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; for he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
SeekH1875 ye the LORDH3068 while he may be foundH4672, callH7121 ye upon him while he is nearH7138:
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284.
For as the rainH1653 cometh downH3381, and the snowH7950 from heavenH8064, and returnethH7725 not thither, but waterethH7301 the earthH776, and maketh it bring forthH3205 and budH6779, that it may giveH5414 seedH2233 to the sowerH2232, and breadH3899 to the eaterH398:
So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it.
For ye shall go outH3318 with joyH8057, and be led forthH2986 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall break forthH6476 beforeH6440 you into singingH7440, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709.
Instead of the thornH5285 shall come upH5927 the fir treeH1265, and instead of the brierH5636 shall come upH5927 the myrtle treeH1918: and it shall be to the LORDH3068 for a nameH8034, for an everlastingH5769 signH226 that shall not be cut offH3772.
