And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the yearH8141 that he began to reignH4427 did lift upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 out of prisonH1004+H3608;
And he spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 above the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894; {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did eatH398 breadH3899 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And his allowanceH737 was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, a dailyH3117+H3117 rateH1697 for every dayH3117, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did eatH398 breadH3899 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And his allowanceH737 was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, a dailyH3117+H3117 rateH1697 for every dayH3117, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the uttermost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.
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.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
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}
AndG2532 he prayedG4336 againG3825, andG2532 the heavenG3772 gaveG1325 rainG5205, andG2532 the earthG1093 brought forthG985 herG846 fruitG2590.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, how he warredH3898, and how he reignedH4427, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Now kingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with clothesH899, but he gat no heatH3179. {stricken…: Heb. entered into days}
Wherefore his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Let there be soughtH1245 for my lordH113 the kingH4428 a youngH5291 virginH1330: and let her standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and let her cherishH5532 him, and let her lieH7901 in thy bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may get heatH2552. {Let there…: Heb. Let them seek} {a young…: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish…: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}
So they soughtH1245 for a fairH3303 damselH5291 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 a ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428.
And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH3303, and cherishedH5532 the kingH4428, and ministeredH8334 to him: but the kingH4428 knewH3045 her not.
Then AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH4984 himself, sayingH559, I will be kingH4427: and he preparedH6213 him chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. {be king: Heb. reign}
And his fatherH1 had not displeasedH6087 him at any timeH3117 in sayingH559, Why hast thou done soH6213? and he also was a veryH3966 goodlyH2896+H8389 man; and his mother bareH3205 him afterH310 AbsalomH53. {at any…: Heb. from his days}
And he conferredH1697 with JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and with AbiatharH54 the priestH3548: and they followingH310 AdonijahH138 helpedH5826 him. {he…: Heb. his words were with} {following…: Heb. helped after Adonijah}
But ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and ShimeiH8096, and ReiH7472, and the mighty menH1368 which belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138.
And AdonijahH138 slewH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fat cattleH4806 by the stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, which is byH681 EnrogelH5883, and calledH7121 all his brethrenH251 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and all the menH582 of JudahH3063 the king'sH4428 servantsH5650: {Enrogel: or, the well Rogel}
But NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141, and the mighty menH1368, and SolomonH8010 his brotherH251, he calledH7121 not.
Wherefore NathanH5416 spakeH559 unto BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Hast thou not heardH8085 that AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 doth reignH4427, and DavidH1732 our lordH113 knowethH3045 it not?
Now therefore comeH3212, let me, I pray thee, give thee counselH3289+H6098, that thou mayest saveH4422 thine own lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of thy sonH1121 SolomonH8010.
GoH3212 and get thee inH935 unto kingH4428 DavidH1732, and sayH559 unto him, Didst not thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, swearH7650 unto thine handmaidH519, sayingH559, AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678? why then doth AdonijahH138 reignH4427?
Behold, while thou yet talkestH1696 there with the kingH4428, I also will come inH935 afterH310 thee, and confirmH4390 thy wordsH1697. {confirm: Heb. fill up}
And BathshebaH1339 went inH935 unto the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministeredH8334 unto the kingH4428.
And BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915, and did obeisanceH7812 unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thou? {What…: Heb. What to thee?}
And she saidH559 unto him, My lordH113, thou swarestH7650 by the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 unto thine handmaidH519, saying, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678.
And now, behold, AdonijahH138 reignethH4427; and now, my lordH113 the kingH4428, thou knowestH3045 it not:
And he hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635: but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he not calledH7121.
And thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of all IsraelH3478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046 them who shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him.
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleepH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be counted offendersH2400. {offenders: Heb. sinners}
And, lo, while she yet talkedH1696 with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 also came inH935.
And they toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, Behold NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was come inH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
And NathanH5416 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559, AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678?
For he is gone downH3381 this dayH3117, and hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, behold, they eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 AdonijahH138. {God…: Heb. Let king Adonijah live}
But me, even me thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he not calledH7121.
Is this thingH1697 doneH1961 by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast not shewedH3045 it unto thy servantH5650, who should sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him?
Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answeredH6030 and saidH559, CallH7121 me BathshebaH1339. And she cameH935 into the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {into…: Heb. before the king}
And the kingH4428 swareH7650, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 out of all distressH6869,
Even as I swareH7650 unto thee by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678 in my stead; even so will I certainly doH6213 this dayH3117.
Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did reverenceH7812 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
The kingH4428 also saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and cause SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 upon mine own muleH6506, and bring him downH3381 to GihonH1521: {mine…: Heb. which belongeth to me}
And let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and blowH8628 ye with the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
Then ye shall come upH5927 afterH310 him, that he may comeH935 and sitH3427 upon my throneH3678; for he shall be kingH4427 in my stead: and I have appointedH6680 him to be rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 sayH559 so too.
As the LORDH3068 hath been with my lordH113 the kingH4428, even so be he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than the throneH3678 of my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732.
So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, went downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David'sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3212 him to GihonH1521.
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 an hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the tabernacleH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And all the peopleH5971 came upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 pipedH2490 with pipesH2485, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rentH1234 with the soundH6963 of them. {pipes: or, flutes}
And AdonijahH138 and all the guestsH7121 that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993?
And while he yet spakeH1696, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559 unto him, Come inH935; for thou art a valiantH2428 manH376+H381, and bringestH1319 goodH2896 tidingsH1319.
And JonathanH3129 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, VerilyH61 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4427.
And the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king'sH4428 muleH6506:
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are come upH5927 from thence rejoicingH8056, so that the cityH7151 rang againH1949. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085.
And also SolomonH8010 sittethH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410.
And moreover the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, GodH430 make the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 than thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than thy throneH3678. And the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself upon the bedH4904.
And also thus saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it.
And all the guestsH7121 that were with AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 every manH376 his wayH1870.
And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Behold, AdonijahH138 fearethH3372 kingH4428 SolomonH8010: for, lo, he hath caught holdH270 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, Let kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 unto me to dayH3117 that he will not slayH4191 his servantH5650 with the swordH2719.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559, If he will shew himself a worthyH2428 manH1121, there shall not an hairH8185 of him fallH5307 to the earthH776: but if wickednessH7451 shall be foundH4672 in him, he shall dieH4191.
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971, and they brought him downH3381 from the altarH4196. And he cameH935 and bowedH7812 himself to kingH4428 SolomonH8010: and SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 to thine houseH1004.
Now the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 drew nighH7126 that he should dieH4191; and he chargedH6680 SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, sayingH559,
I goH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: be thou strongH2388 therefore, and shew thyself a manH376;
And keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in his waysH1870, to keepH8104 his statutesH2708, and his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and his testimoniesH5715, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that thou mayest prosperH7919 in all that thou doestH6213, and whithersoever thou turnestH6437 thyself: {prosper: or, do wisely}
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
Moreover thou knowestH3045 also what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213 to me, and what he didH6213 to the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026, and shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdleH2290 that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoesH5275 that were on his feetH7272. {shed: Heb. put}
DoH6213 therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his hoar headH7872 go downH3381 to the graveH7585 in peaceH7965.
But shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them be of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979: for so they cameH7126 to me when I fledH1272 becauseH6440 of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251.
And, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, which cursedH7043 me with a grievousH4834 curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212 to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381 to meetH7125 me at JordanH3383, and I swareH7650 to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, I will not put thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719. {grievous: Heb. strong}
Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045 what thou oughtest to doH6213 unto him; but his hoar headH7872 bring thou downH3381 to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818.
So DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And the daysH3117 that DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 were fortyH705 yearsH8141: sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389.
Then satH3427 SolomonH8010 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and his kingdomH4438 was establishedH3559 greatlyH3966.
And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935 to BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. And she saidH559, ComestH935 thou peaceablyH7965? And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965.
He saidH559 moreover, I have somewhat to sayH1697 unto thee. And she saidH559, Say onH1696.
And he saidH559, Thou knowestH3045 that the kingdomH4410 was mine, and that all IsraelH3478 setH7760 their facesH6440 on me, that I should reignH4427: howbeit the kingdomH4410 is turned aboutH5437, and is become my brother'sH251: for it was his from the LORDH3068.
And now I askH7592 oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee, denyH7725 meH6440 not. And she saidH559 unto him, Say onH1696. {deny…: Heb. turn not away my face}
And he saidH559, SpeakH559, I pray thee, unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, (for he will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725,) that he giveH5414 me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 to wifeH802.
And BathshebaH1339 saidH559, WellH2896; I will speakH1696 for thee unto the kingH4428.
BathshebaH1339 therefore wentH935 unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696 unto him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 rose upH6965 to meetH7125 her, and bowedH7812 himself unto her, and sat downH3427 on his throneH3678, and caused a seatH3678 to be setH7760 for the king'sH4428 motherH517; and she satH3427 on his right handH3225.
Then she saidH559, I desireH7592 oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; I pray thee, sayH7725 meH6440 not nayH7725. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, Ask onH7592, my motherH517: for I will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725.
And she saidH559, Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 to wifeH802.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto his motherH517, And why dost thou askH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? askH7592 for him the kingdomH4410 also; for he is mine elderH1419 brotherH251; even for him, and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and for JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870.
Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swareH7650 by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GodH430 doH6213 so to me, and more alsoH3254, if AdonijahH138 have not spokenH1696 this wordH1697 against his own lifeH5315.
Now therefore, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, which hath establishedH3559 me, and setH3427 me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 me an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696, AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 upon him that he diedH4191.
And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, GetH3212 thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthyH376 of deathH4194: but I will not at this timeH3117 put thee to deathH4191, because thou barestH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH136 GODH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflictedH6031 in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflictedH6031. {worthy…: Heb. a man of death}
So SolomonH8010 thrust outH1644 AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 unto the LORDH3068; that he might fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.
Then tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him.
And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 thence any whitherH575.
For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thine own headH7218.
And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 unto AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661.
And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.
Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with?
The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769.
So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
And she cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3515 trainH2428, with camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and veryH3966 muchH7227 goldH2091, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.
And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questionsH1697: there was not any thingH1697 hidH5956 from the kingH4428, which he toldH5046 her not. {questions: Heb. words}
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 all Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,
And the meatH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sittingH4186 of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparelH4403, and his cupbearersH8248, and his ascentH5930 by which he went upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was no more spiritH7307 in her. {attendance: Heb. standing} {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thy actsH1697 and of thy wisdomH2451. {report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believedH539 not the wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, behold, the halfH2677 was not toldH5046 me: thy wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 exceedethH3254 the fameH8052 which I heardH8085. {thy…: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to}
HappyH835 are thy menH582, happyH835 are these thy servantsH5650, which standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and that hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee, to setH5414 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH7760 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 great storeH7235, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: there cameH935 no more suchH1931 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as these which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And the navyH590 also of HiramH2438, that broughtH5375 goldH2091 from OphirH211, brought inH935 from OphirH211 greatH3966 plentyH7235 of almugH484 treesH6086, and preciousH3368 stonesH68.
And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the almugH484 treesH6086 pillarsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for the king'sH4428 houseH1004, harpsH3658 also and psalteriesH5035 for singersH7891: there cameH935 no such almugH484 treesH6086, nor were seenH7200 unto this dayH3117. {pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 unto the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, beside that which SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 her of his royalH4428 bountyH3027. So she turnedH6437 and wentH3212 to her own countryH776, she and her servantsH5650. {of his…: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon}
Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091,
Beside that he had of the merchantmenH582+H8446, and of the traffickH4536 of the spice merchantsH7402, and of all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6153, and of the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. {governors: or, captains}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 of beatenH7820 goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 targetH6793.
And he made threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beatenH7820 goldH2091; threeH7969 poundH4488 of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with the bestH6338 goldH2091.
The throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was roundH5696 behindH310: and there were staysH3027 on either side on the placeH4725 of the seatH7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 besideH681 the staysH3027. {behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof} {stays: Heb. hands}
And twelveH8147+H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the likeH3651 madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467. {the like: Heb. so}
And all kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091; none were of silverH3701: it was nothingH3972 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {none…: or, there was no silver in them}
For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navyH590 of TharshishH8659 with the navyH590 of HiramH2438: onceH259 in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the navyH590 of TharshishH8659, bringingH5375 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. {ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceededH1431 all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 for richesH6239 and for wisdomH2451.
And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 toH6440 SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. {sought to: Heb. sought the face of}
And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and garmentsH8008, and armourH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
And SolomonH8010 gathered togetherH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, whom he bestowedH5148 in the citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219, for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And a chariotH4818 came upH5927 and went outH3318 of EgyptH4714 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and so for all the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, did they bring them outH3318 by their meansH3027. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471,
And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. {is done…: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288.
And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; which gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him victualsH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776.
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377.
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bareH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Let me departH7971, that I may goH3212 to mine own countryH776. {Let…: Heb. Send me away}
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But what hast thou lackedH2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekestH1245 to goH3212 to thine own countryH776? And he answeredH559, Nothing: howbeit let me goH7971 in any wiseH7971. {Nothing: Heb. Not}
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. {time: Heb. days}
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}
And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for all IsraelH3478 were comeH935 to ShechemH7927 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was yet in EgyptH4714, heardH8085 of it, (for he was fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and JeroboamH3379 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714;)
That they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. And JeroboamH3379 and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and spakeH1696 unto RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 madeH7185 our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore make thou the grievousH7186 serviceH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 which he putH5414 upon us, lighterH7043, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, DepartH3212 yet for threeH7969 daysH3117, then come againH7725 to me. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 consultedH3289 with the old menH2205, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, and saidH559, How do ye adviseH3289 that I mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971?
And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou wilt be a servantH5650 unto this peopleH5971 this dayH3117, and wilt serveH5647 them, and answerH6030 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, then they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117.
But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, which they had givenH3289 him, and consultedH3289 with the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him, and which stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him:
And he saidH559 unto them, What counsel giveH3289 ye that we mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighterH7043?
And the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou speakH559 unto this peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it lighterH7043 unto us; thus shalt thou sayH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father'sH1 loinsH4975.
And now whereas my fatherH1 did ladeH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 hath chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 had appointedH1696, sayingH559, Come to me againH7725 the thirdH7992 dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 roughlyH7186, and forsookH5800 the old men'sH2205 counselH6098 that they gaveH3289 him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}
And spakeH1696 to them after the counselH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, and I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 also chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
Wherefore the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971; for the causeH5438 was from the LORDH3068, that he might performH6965 his sayingH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 unto JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the tributeH4522; and all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. Therefore kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 made speedH553 to get him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. {made…: Heb. strengthened himself}
So IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117. {rebelled: or, fell away}
And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was come againH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there was none that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, butH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH977, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7725 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.
But the wordH1697 of GodH430 came unto ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004; for this thingH1697 isH1961 from me. They hearkenedH8085 therefore to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 to departH3212, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and dweltH3427 therein; and went outH3318 from thence, and builtH1129 PenuelH6439.
And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, Now shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732:
If this peopleH5971 go upH5927 to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turn againH7725 unto their lordH113, even unto RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they shall killH2026 me, and go againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 unto them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he setH7760 the oneH259 in BethelH1008, and the otherH259 putH5414 he in DanH1835.
And this thingH1697 became a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259, even unto DanH1835.
And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, which were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt…: Heb. to burn incense}
In the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
Against him came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725 him presentsH4503. {gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927 no presentH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113, and boundH631 him in prisonH1004+H3608. {present: or, tribute}
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from AvaH5755, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and placedH3427 them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof.
And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of them.
Wherefore they spakeH559 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, The nationsH1471 which thou hast removedH1540, and placedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slayH4191 them, because they knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, CarryH3212 thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540 from thence; and let them goH3212 and dwellH3427 there, and let him teachH3384 them the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried awayH1540 from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in BethelH1008, and taughtH3384 them how they should fearH3372 the LORDH3068.
Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213 godsH430 of their own, and putH3240 them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which the SamaritansH8118 had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.
And the menH582 of BabylonH894 madeH6213 SuccothbenothH5524, and the menH582 of CuthH3575 madeH6213 NergalH5370, and the menH582 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 AshimaH807,
And the AvitesH5757 madeH6213 NibhazH5026 and TartakH8662, and the SepharvitesH5616 burntH8313 their childrenH1121 in fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and AnammelechH6048, the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617.
So they fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and madeH6213 unto themselves of the lowestH7098 of them priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116, which sacrificedH6213 for them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116.
They fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their own godsH430, after the mannerH4941 of the nationsH1471 whom they carried awayH1540 from thence. {whom…: or, who carried them away from thence}
Unto this dayH3117 they doH6213 after the formerH7223 mannersH4941: they fearH3373 not the LORDH3068, neither doH6213 they after their statutesH2708, or after their ordinancesH4941, or after the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of JacobH3290, whom he namedH7760+H8034 IsraelH3478;
With whom the LORDH3068 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285, and chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430, nor bowH7812 yourselves to them, nor serveH5647 them, nor sacrificeH2076 to them:
But the LORDH3068, who brought you upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and a stretched outH5186 armH2220, him shall ye fearH3372, and him shall ye worshipH7812, and to him shall ye do sacrificeH2076.
And the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, and the lawH8451, and the commandmentH4687, which he wroteH3789 for you, ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 for evermoreH3117; and ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
And the covenantH1285 that I have madeH3772 with you ye shall not forgetH7911; neither shall ye fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
But the LORDH3068 your GodH430 ye shall fearH3372; and he shall deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of all your enemiesH341.
Howbeit they did not hearkenH8085, but they didH6213 after their formerH7223 mannerH4941.
So these nationsH1471 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their graven imagesH6456, both their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121: as didH6213 their fathersH1, so doH6213 they unto this dayH3117.
And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for all IsraelH3478 were comeH935 to ShechemH7927 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was come againH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there was none that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, butH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 reignedH4427 AbijamH38 over JudahH3063.
And NadabH5070 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 twoH8147 yearsH8141. {began…: Heb. reigned}
And in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AsaH609 over JudahH3063.
Even in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did BaashaH1201 slayH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And AsaH609 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat}
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and sixthH8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, two yearsH8141.
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZimriH2174 reignH4427 sevenH7651 daysH3117 in TirzahH8656. And the peopleH5971 were encampedH2583 against GibbethonH1405, which belonged to the PhilistinesH6430.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and firstH259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141: sixH8337 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in TirzahH8656.
And in the thirtyH7970+H8141 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478: and AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 yearsH8141.
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.
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.
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:
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}
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 JoramH3141 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she aroseH6965 and destroyedH6 all the seedH2233 royalH4467. {seed…: Heb. seed of the kingdom}
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.
In the threeH7969+H8141 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned seventeenH7651+H6240 yearsH8141. {three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year}
In the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JehuH3058 JehoashH3060 began to reignH4427; and fortyH705 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZibiahH6645 of BeershebaH884.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141.
In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3099 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
In the fifteenthH2568+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111, and reigned fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141.
And all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 AzariahH5838, which was sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and made him kingH4427 instead of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZachariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 sixH8337 monthsH2320.
So AzariahH5838 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 began to reignH4427 in the nineH8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and he reignedH4427 a fullH3117 monthH3391 in SamariaH8111. {Uzziah: Gr. Ozias} {a full…: Heb. a month of days}
In the seventeenthH7651+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.
In the nineH8672+H8141 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reigned tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111.
In the fiftiethH2572+H8141 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahiahH6494 the sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned two yearsH8141.
In the twoH8147+H8141 and fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
In the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141.
Now it came to pass in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that HezekiahH2396 the sonH1121 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. {Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias}
ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HephzibahH2657.
AmonH526 was twentyH6242 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was MeshullemethH4922, the daughterH1323 of HaruzH2743 of JotbahH3192.
JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and oneH259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JedidahH3040, the daughterH1323 of AdaiahH5718 of BoscathH1218.
JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZebudahH2080, the daughterH1323 of PedaiahH6305 of RumahH7316.
So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and oneH259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And NadabH5070 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 twoH8147 yearsH8141. {began…: Heb. reigned}
And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1, and in his sinH2403 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, of the houseH1004 of IssacharH3485, conspiredH7194 against him; and BaashaH1201 smoteH5221 him at GibbethonH1405, which belonged to the PhilistinesH6430; for NadabH5070 and all IsraelH3478 laid siegeH6696 to GibbethonH1405.
Even in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did BaashaH1201 slayH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And it came to pass, when he reignedH4427, that he smoteH5221 all the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; he leftH7604 not to JeroboamH3379 any that breathedH5397, until he had destroyedH8045 him, according unto the sayingH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888:
Because of the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he sinnedH2398, and which he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, by his provocationH3708 wherewith he provoked the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of NadabH5070, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and sixthH8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, two yearsH8141.
And his servantH5650 ZimriH2174, captainH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 against him, as he was in TirzahH8656, drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777 steward of his houseH1004 in TirzahH8656. {steward…: Heb. which was over}
And ZimriH2174 went inH935 and smoteH5221 him, and killedH4191 him, in the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And ZimriH2174 went inH935 and smoteH5221 him, and killedH4191 him, in the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And it came to pass, when he began to reignH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, that he slewH5221 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201: he leftH7604 him not one that pissethH8366 against a wallH7023, neither of his kinsfolksH1350, nor of his friendsH7453. {neither…: or, both his kinsmen and his friends}
Thus did ZimriH2174 destroyH8045 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 against BaashaH1201 byH3027 JehuH3058 the prophetH5030, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
For all the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201, and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, by which they sinnedH2398, and by which they made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, in provoking the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ElahH425, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZimriH2174 reignH4427 sevenH7651 daysH3117 in TirzahH8656. And the peopleH5971 were encampedH2583 against GibbethonH1405, which belonged to the PhilistinesH6430.
And the peopleH5971 that were encampedH2583 heardH8085 sayH559, ZimriH2174 hath conspiredH7194, and hath also slainH5221 the kingH4428: wherefore all IsraelH3478 made OmriH6018, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, kingH4427 over IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 in the campH4264.
And OmriH6018 went upH5927 from GibbethonH1405, and all IsraelH3478 with him, and they besiegedH6696 TirzahH8656.
And it came to pass, when ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 was takenH3920, that he wentH935 into the palaceH759 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and burntH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004 over him with fireH784, and diedH4191,
For his sinsH2403 which he sinnedH2398 in doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, in walkingH3212 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2403 which he didH6213, to make IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174, and his treasonH7195 that he wroughtH7194, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
Then were the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dividedH2505 into two partsH2677: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followedH1961+H310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to make him kingH4427; and halfH2677 followedH310 OmriH6018.
But the peopleH5971 that followedH310 OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 againstH854 the peopleH5971 that followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527: so TibniH8402 diedH4191, and OmriH6018 reignedH4427.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and firstH259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141: sixH8337 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in TirzahH8656.
And he boughtH7069 the hillH2022 SamariaH8111 of ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 which he builtH1129, after the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, ownerH113 of the hillH2022, SamariaH8111. {Samaria: Heb. Shomeron}
But OmriH6018 wroughtH6213 evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and did worseH7489 than all that were beforeH6440 him.
For he walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinH2403 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 which he didH6213, and his mightH1369 that he shewedH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
So OmriH6018 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111: and AhabH256 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
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:
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?
In the threeH7969+H8141 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned seventeenH7651+H6240 yearsH8141. {three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and followedH3212+H310 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398; he departedH5493 not therefrom. {followed: Heb. walked after}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and into the handH3027 of BenhadadH1130 the sonH1121 of HazaelH2371, all their daysH3117.
And JehoahazH3059 besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 untoH6440 him: for he sawH7200 the oppressionH3906 of IsraelH3478, because the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 them.
(And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 IsraelH3478 a saviourH3467, so that they went outH3318 from under the handH3027 of the SyriansH758: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their tentsH168, as beforetimeH8032+H8543. {as beforetime: Heb. as yesterday, and third day}
Nevertheless they departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, who made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, but walkedH1980 therein: and there remainedH5975 the groveH842 also in SamariaH8111.) {walked: Heb. he walked} {remained: Heb. stood}
Neither did he leaveH7604 of the peopleH5971 to JehoahazH3059 but fiftyH2572 horsemenH6571, and tenH6235 chariotsH7393, and tenH6235 thousandH505 footmenH7273; for the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 had destroyedH6 them, and had madeH7760 them like the dustH6083 by threshingH1758.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoahazH3059, and all that he didH6213, and his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And JehoahazH3059 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him in SamariaH8111: and JoashH3101 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; he departedH5493 not from all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 sinH2398: but he walkedH1980 therein.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoashH3101, and all that he didH6213, and his mightH1369 wherewith he foughtH3898 against AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And JoashH3101 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and JeroboamH3379 satH3427 upon his throneH3678: and JoashH3101 was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Now ElishaH477 was fallen sickH2470 of his sicknessH2483 whereof he diedH4191. And JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came downH3381 unto him, and weptH1058 over his faceH6440, and saidH559, O my fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478, and the horsemenH6571 thereof.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 bowH7198 and arrowsH2671. And he tookH3947 unto him bowH7198 and arrowsH2671.
And he saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, PutH7392 thine handH3027 upon the bowH7198. And he putH7392 his handH3027 upon it: and ElishaH477 putH7760 his handsH3027 upon the king'sH4428 handsH3027. {Put thine…: Heb. Make thine hand to ride}
And he saidH559, OpenH6605 the windowH2474 eastwardH6924. And he openedH6605 it. Then ElishaH477 saidH559, ShootH3384. And he shotH3384. And he saidH559, The arrowH2671 of the LORD'SH3068 deliveranceH8668, and the arrowH2671 of deliveranceH8668 from SyriaH758: for thou shalt smiteH5221 the SyriansH758 in AphekH663, till thou have consumedH3615 them.
And he saidH559, TakeH3947 the arrowsH2671. And he tookH3947 them. And he saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SmiteH5221 upon the groundH776. And he smoteH5221 thriceH7969+H6471, and stayedH5975.
And the manH376 of GodH430 was wrothH7107 with him, and saidH559, Thou shouldest have smittenH5221 fiveH2568 or sixH8337 timesH6471; then hadst thou smittenH5221 SyriaH758 till thou hadst consumedH3615 it: whereas now thou shalt smiteH5221 SyriaH758 but thriceH7969+H6471.
And ElishaH477 diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 him. And the bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124 invadedH935 the landH776 at the coming inH935 of the yearH8141.
And it came to pass, as they were buryingH6912 a manH376, that, behold, they spiedH7200 a bandH1416 of men; and they castH7993 the manH376 into the sepulchreH6913 of ElishaH477: and when the manH376 was let downH3212, and touchedH5060 the bonesH6106 of ElishaH477, he revivedH2421, and stood upH6965 on his feetH7272. {was…: Heb. went down}
But HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059.
And the LORDH3068 was graciousH2603 unto them, and had compassionH7355 on them, and had respectH6437 unto them, because ofH4616 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and wouldH14 not destroyH7843 them, neither castH7993 he them from his presenceH6440 as yetH5704. {presence: Heb. face}
So HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 diedH4191; and BenhadadH1130 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 tookH3947 againH7725 out of the handH3027 of BenhadadH1130 the sonH1121 of HazaelH2371 the citiesH5892, which he had takenH3947 out of the handH3027 of JehoahazH3059 his fatherH1 by warH4421. ThreeH7969 timesH6471 did JoashH3101 beatH5221 him, and recoveredH7725 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478. {took…: Heb. returned and took}
In the fifteenthH2568+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111, and reigned fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
He restoredH7725 the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 of HamathH2574 unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 JonahH3124, the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, the prophetH5030, which was of GathhepherH1662.
For the LORDH3068 sawH7200 the afflictionH6040 of IsraelH3478, that it was veryH3966 bitterH4784: for there was notH657 any shut upH6113, nor any leftH5800, nor any helperH5826 for IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 not that he would blot outH4229 the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 from under heavenH8064: but he savedH3467 them by the handH3027 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, and all that he didH6213, and his mightH1369, how he warredH3898, and how he recoveredH7725 DamascusH1834, and HamathH2574, which belonged to JudahH3063, for IsraelH3478, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And JeroboamH3379 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, even with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and ZachariahH2148 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the thirtyH7970+H8141 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZachariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 sixH8337 monthsH2320.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as his fathersH1 had doneH6213: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 conspiredH7194 against him, and smoteH5221 him beforeH6905 the peopleH5971, and slewH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZachariahH2148, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
This was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696 unto JehuH3058, sayingH559, Thy sonsH1121 shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478 unto the fourthH7243 generation. And so it came to pass.
ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 began to reignH4427 in the nineH8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and he reignedH4427 a fullH3117 monthH3391 in SamariaH8111. {Uzziah: Gr. Ozias} {a full…: Heb. a month of days}
For MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 went upH5927 from TirzahH8656, and cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and smoteH5221 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 in SamariaH8111, and slewH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ShallumH7967, and his conspiracyH7195 which he madeH7194, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Then MenahemH4505 smoteH5221 TiphsahH8607, and all that were therein, and the coastsH1366 thereof from TirzahH8656: because they openedH6605 not to him, therefore he smoteH5221 it; and all the women therein that were with childH2030 he ripped upH1234.
In the nineH8672+H8141 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reigned tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not all his daysH3117 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 against the landH776: and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might be with him to confirmH2388 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027.
And MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, even of all the mighty menH1368 of wealthH2428, of eachH259 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turned backH7725, and stayedH5975 not there in the landH776. {exacted: Heb. caused to come forth}
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And MenahemH4505 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the fiftiethH2572+H8141 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahiahH6494 the sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned two yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
But PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, a captainH7991 of his, conspiredH7194 against him, and smoteH5221 him in SamariaH8111, in the palaceH759 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, with ArgobH709 and AriehH745, and with him fiftyH2572 menH376 of the GileaditesH1121+H1569: and he killedH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his room.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahiahH6494, and all that he didH6213, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
In the twoH8147+H8141 and fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and tookH3947 IjonH5859, and AbelbethmaachahH62, and JanoahH3239, and KedeshH6943, and HazorH2674, and GileadH1568, and GalileeH1551, all the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and carried them captiveH1540 to AssyriaH804.
And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahH6492, and all that he didH6213, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
In the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
Against him came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725 him presentsH4503. {gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927 no presentH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113, and boundH631 him in prisonH1004+H3608. {present: or, tribute}
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from AvaH5755, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and placedH3427 them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof.
And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of them.
Wherefore they spakeH559 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, The nationsH1471 which thou hast removedH1540, and placedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slayH4191 them, because they knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, CarryH3212 thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540 from thence; and let them goH3212 and dwellH3427 there, and let him teachH3384 them the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried awayH1540 from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in BethelH1008, and taughtH3384 them how they should fearH3372 the LORDH3068.
Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213 godsH430 of their own, and putH3240 them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which the SamaritansH8118 had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.
And the menH582 of BabylonH894 madeH6213 SuccothbenothH5524, and the menH582 of CuthH3575 madeH6213 NergalH5370, and the menH582 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 AshimaH807,
And the AvitesH5757 madeH6213 NibhazH5026 and TartakH8662, and the SepharvitesH5616 burntH8313 their childrenH1121 in fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and AnammelechH6048, the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617.
So they fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and madeH6213 unto themselves of the lowestH7098 of them priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116, which sacrificedH6213 for them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116.
They fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their own godsH430, after the mannerH4941 of the nationsH1471 whom they carried awayH1540 from thence. {whom…: or, who carried them away from thence}
Unto this dayH3117 they doH6213 after the formerH7223 mannersH4941: they fearH3373 not the LORDH3068, neither doH6213 they after their statutesH2708, or after their ordinancesH4941, or after the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of JacobH3290, whom he namedH7760+H8034 IsraelH3478;
With whom the LORDH3068 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285, and chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430, nor bowH7812 yourselves to them, nor serveH5647 them, nor sacrificeH2076 to them:
But the LORDH3068, who brought you upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and a stretched outH5186 armH2220, him shall ye fearH3372, and him shall ye worshipH7812, and to him shall ye do sacrificeH2076.
And the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, and the lawH8451, and the commandmentH4687, which he wroteH3789 for you, ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 for evermoreH3117; and ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
And the covenantH1285 that I have madeH3772 with you ye shall not forgetH7911; neither shall ye fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
But the LORDH3068 your GodH430 ye shall fearH3372; and he shall deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of all your enemiesH341.
Howbeit they did not hearkenH8085, but they didH6213 after their formerH7223 mannerH4941.
So these nationsH1471 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their graven imagesH6456, both their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121: as didH6213 their fathersH1, so doH6213 they unto this dayH3117.
And it came to pass in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, which was the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it.
And at the endH7097 of threeH7969 yearsH8141 they tookH3920 it: even in the sixthH8337 yearH8141 of HezekiahH2396, that is the ninthH8672 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SamariaH8111 was takenH3920.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 did carry awayH1540 IsraelH3478 unto AssyriaH804, and putH5148 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074:
Because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but transgressedH5674 his covenantH1285, and all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, and would not hearH8085 them, nor doH6213 them.
