AndG2532 sentG649 messengersG32 beforeG4253 hisG846 faceG4383: andG2532 they wentG4198, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541, toG5620 make readyG2090 for himG846.
AndG2532 they didG1209 notG3756 receiveG1209 himG846, becauseG3754 hisG846 faceG4383 wasG2258 as though he would goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
AndG1161 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491 sawG1492 this, they saidG2036, LordG2962, wilt thouG2309 that we commandG2036 fireG4442 to come downG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 consumeG355 themG846, evenG2532 asG5613 EliasG2243 didG4160?
ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and rebukedG2008 themG846, andG2532 saidG2036, Ye knowG1492 notG3756 what mannerG3634 of spiritG4151 yeG5210 are ofG2075.
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 isG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 to destroyG622 men'sG444 livesG5590, butG235 to saveG4982 them. AndG2532 they wentG4198 toG1519 anotherG2087 villageG2968.
And of the childrenH1121 of IssacharH3485, which were men that had understandingH998+H3045 of the timesH6256, to knowH3045 what IsraelH3478 ought to doH6213; the headsH7218 of them were two hundredH3967; and all their brethrenH251 were at their commandmentH6310.
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.
AndG1161 he beganG756 to sayG3004 untoG4314 themG846, ThisG3754 dayG4594 isG4137 thisG3778 scriptureG1124 fulfilledG4137 inG1722 yourG5216 earsG3775.
AndG2532 allG3956 bareG3140 himG846 witnessG3140, andG2532 wonderedG2296 atG1909 the graciousG5485 wordsG3056 whichG3588 proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750. AndG2532 they saidG3004, IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 Joseph'sG2501 sonG5207?
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye willG2046 surelyG3843 sayG2046 unto meG3427 thisG5026 proverbG3850, PhysicianG2395, healG2323 thyselfG4572: whatsoeverG3745 we have heardG191 doneG1096 inG1722 CapernaumG2584, doG4160 alsoG2532 hereG5602 inG1722 thyG4675 countryG3968.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, NoG3762 prophetG4396 isG2076 acceptedG1184 inG1722 his ownG846 countryG3968.
ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG5213 ofG1909 a truthG225, manyG4183 widowsG5503 wereG2258 inG1722 IsraelG2474 inG1722 the daysG2250 of EliasG2243, whenG3753 the heavenG3772 was shut upG2808+G1909 threeG5140 yearsG2094 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 greatG3173 famineG3042 wasG1096 throughoutG1909 allG3956 the landG1093;
ButG2532 untoG4314 noneG3762 of themG846 wasG3992 EliasG2243 sentG3992, saveG1508 untoG1519 SareptaG4558, a city of SidonG4605, untoG4314 a womanG1135 that was a widowG5503.
AndG2532 manyG4183 lepersG3015 wereG2258 inG1722 IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of EliseusG1666 the prophetG4396; andG2532 noneG3762 of themG846 was cleansedG2511, savingG1508 NaamanG3497 the SyrianG4948.
AndG2532 all theyG3956 inG1722 the synagogueG4864, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023, were filledG4130 with wrathG2372,
AndG2532 rose upG450, and thrustG1544 himG846 out ofG1854 the cityG4172, andG2532 ledG71 himG846 untoG2193 the browG3790 of the hillG3735 whereonG1909+G3739 theirG846 cityG4172 was builtG3618, thatG1519 they might castG2630 himG846 down headlongG2630. {brow: or, edge}
ButG1161 heG846 passingG1330 throughG1223 the midstG3319 of themG846 went his wayG4198,
He that isG5607 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 isG2076 againstG2596 meG1700: andG2532 he that gatherethG4863 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 scatterethG4650.
WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 is goneG1831 out ofG575 a manG444, he walkethG1330 throughG1223 dryG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372; andG2532 findingG2147 noneG3361, he saithG3004, I will returnG5290 untoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624 whenceG3606 I came outG1831.
AndG2532 when he comethG2064, he findethG2147 it sweptG4563 andG2532 garnishedG2885.
ThenG5119 goeth heG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 to him sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4191 than himselfG1438; andG2532 they enter inG1525, and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state of thatG1565 manG444 isG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.
ThenG1161 he calledG4779 hisG846 twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 togetherG4779, andG2532 gaveG1325 themG846 powerG1411 and authorityG1849 overG1909 allG3956 devilsG1140, andG2532 to cureG2323 diseasesG3554.
AndG2532 he sentG649 themG846 to preachG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 to healG2390 the sickG770.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, TakeG142 nothingG3367 forG1519 your journeyG3598, neitherG3383 stavesG4464, norG3383 scripG4082, neitherG3383 breadG740, neitherG3383 moneyG694; neitherG3383 haveG2192 twoG1417 coatsG5509 apieceG303.
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G302 houseG3614 ye enterG1525 intoG1519, thereG1563 abideG3306, andG2532 thenceG1564 departG1831.
AndG2532 whosoeverG3745+G302 willG1209 notG3361 receiveG1209 youG5209, when ye goG1831 out ofG575 thatG1565 cityG4172, shake offG660 the veryG2532 dustG2868 fromG575 yourG5216 feetG4228 forG1519 a testimonyG3142 againstG1909 themG846.
AndG1161 they departedG1831, and wentG1330 throughG2596 the townsG2968, preaching the gospelG2097, andG2532 healingG2323 every whereG3837.
NowG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076 heardG191 of allG3956 that was doneG1096 byG5259 himG846: andG2532 he was perplexedG1280, becauseG1223 that it was saidG3004 ofG5259 someG5100, thatG3754 JohnG2491 was risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
AndG1161 ofG5259 someG5100, thatG3754 EliasG2243 had appearedG5316; andG1161 of othersG243, thatG3754 oneG1520 of the oldG744 prophetsG4396 was risen againG450.
AndG2532 HerodG2264 saidG2036, JohnG2491 haveG607 IG1473 beheadedG607: butG1161 whoG5101 isG2076 thisG3778, ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 hearG191 such thingsG5108? AndG2532 he desiredG2212 to seeG1492 himG846.
AndG2532 the apostlesG652, when they were returnedG5290, toldG1334 himG846 all thatG3745 they had doneG4160. AndG2532 he tookG3880 themG846, and went asideG5298 privatelyG2596+G2398 intoG1519 a desertG2048 placeG5117 belonging to the cityG4172 calledG2564 BethsaidaG966.
AndG1161 the peopleG3793, when they knewG1097 it, followedG190 himG846: andG2532 he receivedG1209 themG846, and spakeG2980 unto themG846 ofG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 healedG2390 them that hadG2192 needG5532 of healingG2322.
AndG1161 when the dayG2250 beganG756 to wear awayG2827, thenG1161 cameG4334 the twelveG1427, and saidG2036 unto himG846, SendG630 the multitudeG3793 awayG630, thatG2443 they may goG565 intoG1519 the townsG2968 andG2532 countryG68 round aboutG2945, and lodgeG2647, andG2532 getG2147 victualsG1979: forG3754 we areG2070 hereG5602 inG1722 a desertG2048 placeG5117.
ButG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, GiveG1325 yeG5210 themG846 to eatG5315. AndG1161 they saidG2036, WeG2254 have noG3756+G1526 moreG4119 butG2228 fiveG4002 loavesG740 andG2532 twoG1417 fishesG2486; exceptG1509 weG2249 should goG4198 and buyG59 meatG1033 forG1519 allG3956 thisG5126 peopleG2992.
ForG1063 they wereG2258 aboutG5616 five thousandG4000 menG435. AndG1161 he saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, MakeG2625 themG846 sit downG2625 byG303 fiftiesG4004 in a companyG2828.
AndG2532 they didG4160 soG3779, andG2532 madeG347 them allG537 sit downG347.
ThenG1161 he tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 andG2532 the twoG1417 fishesG2486, and looking upG308 toG1519 heavenG3772, he blessedG2127 themG846, andG2532 brakeG2622, andG2532 gaveG1325 to the disciplesG3101 to set beforeG3908 the multitudeG3793.
AndG2532 they did eatG5315, andG2532 wereG5526 allG3956 filledG5526: andG2532 there was taken upG142 of fragmentsG2801 that remainedG4052 to themG846 twelveG1427 basketsG2894.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 he wasG1511 aloneG2651 prayingG4336, hisG846 disciplesG3101 were withG4895 himG846: andG2532 he askedG1905 themG846, sayingG3004, WhomG5101 sayG3004 the peopleG3793 that IG3165 amG1511?
TheyG1161 answeringG611 saidG2036, JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; butG1161 someG243 say, EliasG2243; andG1161 othersG243 say, thatG3754 oneG5100 of the oldG744 prophetsG4396 is risen againG450.
He saidG2036 unto themG846, ButG1161 whomG5101 sayG3004 yeG5210 that IG3165 amG1511+G1161? PeterG4074 answeringG611 saidG2036, The ChristG5547 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he straitly chargedG2008 themG846, and commandedG3853 them to tellG2036 no manG3367 that thingG5124;
SayingG2036+G3754, The SonG5207 of manG444 mustG1163 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183, andG2532 be rejectedG593 ofG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be slainG615, andG2532 be raisedG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250.
AndG1161 he saidG3004 toG4314 them allG3956, If any manG1536 willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716 dailyG2250+G2596, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 willG2309 saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846: butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 will loseG622 hisG846 lifeG5590 for myG1700 sakeG1752, the sameG3778 shall saveG4982 itG846.
ForG1063 whatG5101 isG5623 a manG444 advantagedG5623, if he gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG1161 loseG622 himselfG1438, orG2228 be cast awayG2210?
ForG1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall be ashamedG1870 of meG3165 andG2532 of myG1699 wordsG3056, of himG5126 shallG1870 the SonG5207 of manG444 be ashamedG1870, whenG3752 he shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 in his Father'sG3962, andG2532 of the holyG40 angelsG32.
ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG5213 of a truthG230, there beG1526 someG5100 standingG2476 hereG5602, whichG3739 shallG1089 notG3364 tasteG1089 of deathG2288, tillG2193+G302 they seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 aboutG5616 an eightG3638 daysG2250 afterG3326 theseG5128 sayingsG3056+G2532, he tookG3880 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 andG2532 JamesG2385, and went upG305 intoG1519 a mountainG3735 to prayG4336. {sayings: or, things}
AndG2532 asG1722 heG846 prayedG4336, the fashionG1491 of hisG846 countenanceG4383 wasG1096 alteredG2087, andG2532 hisG846 raimentG2441 was whiteG3022 and glisteringG1823.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there talkedG4814 with himG846 twoG1417 menG435, whichG3748 wereG2258 MosesG3475 andG2532 EliasG2243:
WhoG3739 appearedG3700 inG1722 gloryG1391, and spakeG3004 of hisG846 deceaseG1841 whichG3739 he shouldG3195 accomplishG4137 atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 they that were withG4862 himG846 wereG2258 heavyG916 with sleepG5258: andG1161 when they were awakeG1235, they sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 the twoG1417 menG435 that stood withG4921 himG846.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 theyG846 departedG1316 fromG575 himG846, PeterG4074 saidG2036 untoG4314 JesusG2424, MasterG1988, it isG2076 goodG2570 for usG2248 to beG1511 hereG5602: andG2532 let us makeG4160 threeG5140 tabernaclesG4633; one forG3391 theeG4671, andG2532 one forG3391 MosesG3475, andG2532 one forG3391 EliasG2243: notG3361 knowingG1492 whatG3739 he saidG3004.
WhileG1161 heG846 thusG5023 spakeG3004, there cameG1096 a cloudG3507, andG2532 overshadowedG1982 themG846: andG1161 they fearedG5399 asG1722 theyG1565 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the cloudG3507.
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 out ofG1537 the cloudG3507, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207: hearG191 himG846.
AndG2532 when the voiceG5456 was pastG1722+G1096, JesusG2424 was foundG2147 aloneG3441. AndG2532 theyG846 kept it closeG4601, andG2532 toldG518 no manG3762 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 anyG3762 of those things whichG3739 they had seenG3708.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that onG1722 the nextG1836 dayG2250, when theyG846 were come downG2718 fromG575 the hillG3735, muchG4183 peopleG3793 metG4876 himG846.
And,G2532 beholdG2400, a manG435 ofG575 the companyG3793 cried outG310, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, I beseechG1189 theeG4675, lookG1914 uponG1909 myG3450 sonG5207: forG3754 he isG2076 mineG3427 only childG3439.
AndG2532, loG2400, a spiritG4151 takethG2983 himG846, andG2532 he suddenlyG1810 crieth outG2896; andG2532 it tearethG4682 himG846 that he foamethG876 againG3326, andG2532 bruisingG4937 himG846 hardlyG3425 departethG672 fromG575 himG846.
AndG2532 I besoughtG1189 thyG4675 disciplesG3101 toG2443 castG1544 himG846 outG1544; andG2532 they couldG1410 notG3756.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG2036, OG5599 faithlessG571 andG2532 perverseG1294 generationG1074, howG2193 longG4219 shall I beG2071 withG4314 youG5209, andG2532 sufferG430 youG5216? BringG4317 thyG4675 sonG5207 hitherG5602.
AndG1161 as heG846 wasG4334 yetG2089 a comingG4334, the devilG1140 threwG4486 himG846 downG4486, andG2532 tareG4952 him. AndG1161 JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, andG2532 healedG2390 the childG3816, andG2532 deliveredG591 himG846 againG591 to hisG846 fatherG3962.
AndG1161 they wereG1605 allG3956 amazedG1605 atG1909 the mighty powerG3168 of GodG2316. ButG1161 while they wonderedG2296 every oneG3956 atG1909 all thingsG3956 whichG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160, he saidG2036 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101,
Let theseG5128 sayingsG3056 sink downG5087 intoG1519 yourG5210+G5216 earsG3775: forG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall beG3195 deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of menG444.
ButG1161 they understood notG50 thisG5124 sayingG4487, andG2532 it wasG2258 hidG3871 fromG575 themG846, thatG3363 they perceivedG143 itG846 notG3363: andG2532 they fearedG5399 to askG2065 himG846 ofG4012 thatG5127 sayingG4487.
ThenG1161 there aroseG1525 a reasoningG1261 amongG1722 themG846, whichG5101+G302 of themG846 should beG1498 greatestG3187.
AndG1161 JesusG2424, perceivingG1492 the thoughtG1261 of theirG846 heartG2588, tookG1949 a childG3813, and setG2476 himG846 byG3844 himG1438,
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall receiveG1209 thisG5124 childG3813 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686 receivethG1209 meG1691: andG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall receiveG1209 meG1691 receiveth himG1209 that sentG649 meG3165: forG1063 he that isG5225 leastG3398 amongG1722 youG5213 allG3956, the sameG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173.
AndG1161 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG2036, MasterG1988, we sawG1492 oneG5100 casting outG1544 devilsG1140 inG1909 thyG4675 nameG3686; andG2532 we forbadG2967 himG846, becauseG3754 he followethG190 notG3756 withG3326 usG2257.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, ForbidG2967 him notG3361: forG1063 heG3739 that isG2076 notG3756 againstG2596 usG2257 isG2076 forG5228 usG2257.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, whenG1722 the timeG2250 was comeG4845 that heG846 should be received upG354+G2532, heG846 stedfastly setG4741 hisG846 faceG4383 to goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419,
AndG2532 sentG649 messengersG32 beforeG4253 hisG846 faceG4383: andG2532 they wentG4198, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541, toG5620 make readyG2090 for himG846.
AndG2532 they didG1209 notG3756 receiveG1209 himG846, becauseG3754 hisG846 faceG4383 wasG2258 as though he would goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
AndG1161 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491 sawG1492 this, they saidG2036, LordG2962, wilt thouG2309 that we commandG2036 fireG4442 to come downG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 consumeG355 themG846, evenG2532 asG5613 EliasG2243 didG4160?
ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and rebukedG2008 themG846, andG2532 saidG2036, Ye knowG1492 notG3756 what mannerG3634 of spiritG4151 yeG5210 are ofG2075.
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 isG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 to destroyG622 men'sG444 livesG5590, butG235 to saveG4982 them. AndG2532 they wentG4198 toG1519 anotherG2087 villageG2968.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, as theyG846 wentG4198 inG1722 the wayG3598, a certainG5100 man saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, LordG2962, I will followG190 theeG4671 whithersoeverG3699+G302 thou goestG565.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, FoxesG258 haveG2192 holesG5454, andG2532 birdsG4071 of the airG3772 have nestsG2682; butG1161 the SonG5207 of manG444 hathG2192 notG3756 whereG4226 to layG2827 his headG2776.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 anotherG2087, FollowG190 meG3427. ButG1161 he saidG2036, LordG2962, sufferG2010 meG3427 firstG4412 to goG565 and buryG2290 myG3450 fatherG3962.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, LetG863 the deadG3498 buryG2290 theirG1438 deadG3498: butG1161 goG565 thouG4771 and preachG1229 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 anotherG2087 alsoG2532 saidG2036, LordG2962, I will followG190 theeG4671; butG1161 letG2010 meG3427 firstG4412 go bid them farewellG657, which are at home atG1519 myG3450 houseG3624.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, No manG3762, having putG1911 hisG846 handG5495 toG1909 the ploughG723, andG2532 lookingG991 backG1519+G3694, isG2076 fitG2111 forG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
And now, I pray you, considerH7760+H3824 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
A double mindedG1374 manG435 is unstableG182 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 waysG3598.
And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH3212, shewH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929. {that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself.
And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452?
And he answeredH559 him, I am: goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me?
As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not.
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.
Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 me.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559 unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916 IsraelH3478?
And he answeredH559, I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212+H310 BaalimH1168.
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. {a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457 upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290,
And saidH559 to his servantH5288, Go upH5927 now, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559, Go againH7725 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was on ElijahH452; and he girded upH8151 his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 beforeH6440 AhabH256 to the entranceH935 of JezreelH3157. {to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
WhatG5101 thenG1063? notwithstandingG4133, everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenceG4392, orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is preachedG2605; andG2532 IG5463 thereinG1722+G5129 do rejoiceG5463, yeaG235, andG2532 will rejoiceG5463.
But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016.
And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto BethelH1008: and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999. {burn: or, offer}
And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men'sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee.
And he gaveH5414 a signH4159 the same dayH3117, sayingH559, This is the signH4159 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696; Behold, the altarH4196 shall be rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 that are upon it shall be poured outH8210.
And it came to pass, when kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 heardH8085 the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430, which had criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, that he put forthH7971 his handH3027 from the altarH4196, sayingH559, Lay holdH8610 on him. And his handH3027, which he put forthH7971 against him, dried upH3001, so that he couldH3201 not pull it in againH7725 to him.
The altarH4196 also was rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 poured outH8210 from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 which the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the manH376 of GodH430, IntreatH2470 now the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may be restored me againH7725. And the manH376 of GodH430 besoughtH2470+H6440 the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 handH3027 was restored him againH7725, and became as it was beforeH7223. {the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}
And the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto the manH376 of GodH430, ComeH935 homeH1004 with me, and refreshH5582 thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a rewardH4991.
And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If thou wilt giveH5414 me halfH2677 thine houseH1004, I will not go inH935 with thee, neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 in this placeH4725:
For so was it chargedH6680 me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, EatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325, nor turn againH7725 by the same wayH1870 that thou camestH1980.
So he wentH3212 anotherH312 wayH1870, and returnedH7725 not by the wayH1870 that he cameH935 to BethelH1008.
Now there dweltH3427 anH259 oldH2205 prophetH5030 in BethelH1008; and his sonsH1121 cameH935 and toldH5608 him all the worksH4639 that the manH376 of GodH430 had doneH6213 that dayH3117 in BethelH1008: the wordsH1697 which he had spokenH1696 unto the kingH4428, them they toldH5608 also to their fatherH1.
And their fatherH1 saidH1696 unto them, What wayH1870 wentH1980 he? For his sonsH1121 had seenH7200 whatH335 wayH1870 the manH376 of GodH430 wentH1980, which cameH935 from JudahH3063.
And he saidH559 unto his sonsH1121, SaddleH2280 me the assH2543. So they saddledH2280 him the assH2543: and he rodeH7392 thereon,
And wentH3212 afterH310 the manH376 of GodH430, and foundH4672 him sittingH3427 under an oakH424: and he saidH559 unto him, Art thou the manH376 of GodH430 that camestH935 from JudahH3063? And he saidH559, I am.
Then he saidH559 unto him, ComeH3212 homeH1004 with me, and eatH398 breadH3899.
And he saidH559, I mayH3201 not returnH7725 with thee, nor go inH935 with thee: neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 with thee in this placeH4725:
For it was saidH1697 to me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, Thou shalt eatH398 no breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 there, nor turn againH7725 to goH3212 by the wayH1870 that thou camestH1980. {it…: Heb. a word was}
He saidH559 unto him, I am a prophetH5030 also as thou art; and an angelH4397 spakeH1696 unto me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Bring him backH7725 with thee into thine houseH1004, that he may eatH398 breadH3899 and drinkH8354 waterH4325. But he liedH3584 unto him.
So he went backH7725 with him, and did eatH398 breadH3899 in his houseH1004, and drankH8354 waterH4325.
And it came to pass, as they satH3427 at the tableH7979, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 that brought him backH7725:
And he criedH7121 unto the manH376 of GodH430 that cameH935 from JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Forasmuch asH3282 thou hast disobeyedH4784 the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068, and hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee,
But camest backH7725, and hast eatenH398 breadH3899 and drunkH8354 waterH4325 in the placeH4725, of the which the LORD did sayH1696 to thee, EatH398 no breadH3899, and drinkH8354 no waterH4325; thy carcaseH5038 shall not comeH935 unto the sepulchreH6913 of thy fathersH1.
And it came to pass, afterH310 he had eatenH398 breadH3899, and afterH310 he had drunkH8354, that he saddledH2280 for him the assH2543, to wit, for the prophetH5030 whom he had brought backH7725.
And when he was goneH3212, a lionH738 metH4672 him by the wayH1870, and slewH4191 him: and his carcaseH5038 was castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the assH2543 stoodH5975 byH681 it, the lionH738 also stoodH5975 by the carcaseH5038.
And, behold, menH582 passed byH5674, and sawH7200 the carcaseH5038 castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the lionH738 standingH5975 byH681 the carcaseH5038: and they cameH935 and toldH1696 it in the cityH5892 where the oldH2205 prophetH5030 dweltH3427.
And when the prophetH5030 that brought him backH7725 from the wayH1870 heardH8085 thereof, he saidH559, It is the manH376 of GodH430, who was disobedientH4784 unto the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 him unto the lionH738, which hath tornH7665 him, and slainH4191 him, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 unto him. {torn: Heb. broken}
And he spakeH1696 to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, SaddleH2280 me the assH2543. And they saddledH2280 him.
And he wentH3212 and foundH4672 his carcaseH5038 castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the assH2543 and the lionH738 standingH5975 byH681 the carcaseH5038: the lionH738 had not eatenH398 the carcaseH5038, nor tornH7665 the assH2543. {torn: Heb. broken}
And the prophetH5030 took upH5375 the carcaseH5038 of the manH376 of GodH430, and laidH3240 it upon the assH2543, and brought it backH7725: and the oldH2205 prophetH5030 cameH935 to the cityH5892, to mournH5594 and to buryH6912 him.
And he laidH3240 his carcaseH5038 in his own graveH6913; and they mournedH5594 over him, saying, AlasH1945, my brotherH251!
And it came to pass, afterH310 he had buriedH6912 him, that he spakeH559 to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, When I am deadH4191, then buryH6912 me in the sepulchreH6913 wherein the manH376 of GodH430 is buriedH6912; layH3240 my bonesH6106 besideH681 his bonesH6106:
For the sayingH1697 which he criedH7121 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, and against all the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which are in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, shall surely come to pass.
AfterH310 this thingH1697 JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 not from his evilH7451 wayH1870, but madeH6213 againH7725 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971 priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116: whosoever wouldH2655, he consecratedH4390+H3027 him, and he became one of the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116. {made…: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand}
And this thingH1697 became sinH2403 unto the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, even to cut it offH3582, and to destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
ForG1063 menG444 shall beG2071 lovers of their own selvesG5367, covetousG5366, boastersG213, proudG5244, blasphemersG989, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, unthankfulG884, unholyG462,
Now JehoshaphatH3092 had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230, and joined affinityH2859 with AhabH256.
And afterH7093 certain yearsH8141 he went downH3381 to AhabH256 to SamariaH8111. And AhabH256 killedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 for him in abundanceH7230, and for the peopleH5971 that he had with him, and persuadedH5496 him to go upH5927 with him to RamothgileadH7433+H1568. {after…: Heb. at the end of years}
And AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And he answeredH559 him, I am as thou art, and my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971; and we will be with thee in the warH4421.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
Therefore the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gathered togetherH6908 of prophetsH5030 fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall we goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 besides, that we might enquireH1875 of him? {besides: Heb. yet, or, more}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he never prophesiedH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but alwaysH3117 evilH7451: the same is MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 for oneH259 of his officersH5631, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4319 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229. {officers: or, eunuchs} {Fetch…: Heb. Hasten}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eitherH376 of them on his throneH3678, clothedH3847 in their robesH899, and they satH3427 in a void placeH1637 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them. {void…: or, floor}
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 had madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these thou shalt pushH5055 SyriaH758 until they be consumedH3615. {they…: Heb. thou consume them}
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assentH6310; let thy wordH1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like oneH259 of theirs, and speakH1696 thou goodH2896. {with…: Heb. with one mouth}
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, even what my GodH430 saithH559, that will I speakH1696.
And when he was comeH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4318, shall we goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And he saidH559, Go ye upH5927, and prosperH6743, and they shall be deliveredH5414 into your handH3027.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou sayH1696 nothing but the truthH571 to me in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?
Then he saidH559, I did seeH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113; let them returnH7725 therefore every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but evilH7451? {but evil: or, but for evil}
Again he saidH559, Therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall enticeH6601 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one spakeH559 sayingH559 after this mannerH3602, and another sayingH559 after that mannerH3602.
Then there came outH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will enticeH6601 him. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?
And he saidH559, I will go outH3318, and be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And the LORD saidH559, Thou shalt enticeH6601 him, and thou shalt also prevailH3201: go outH3318, and doH6213 even so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 against thee.
Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 came nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, WhichH335 wayH1870 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 on that dayH3117 when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2244 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 ye MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 to AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king'sH4428 sonH1121;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prisonH1004+H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I returnH7725 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou certainlyH7725 returnH7725 in peaceH7965, then hath not the LORDH3068 spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, all ye peopleH5971.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, I will disguiseH2664 myself, and will goH935 to the battleH4421; but putH3847 thou on thy robesH899. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself; and they wentH935 to the battleH4421.
Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 had commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 that were with him, sayingH559, FightH3898 ye not with smallH6996 or greatH1419, save only with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, that they saidH559, It is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. Therefore they compassed aboutH5437 him to fightH3898: but JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199, and the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 him; and GodH430 movedH5496 them to depart from him.
For it came to pass, that, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 perceivedH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, they turned back againH7725 from pursuingH310 him. {from…: Heb. from after him}
And a certain man drewH4900 a bowH7198 at a ventureH8537, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 between the jointsH1694 of the harnessH8302: therefore he saidH559 to his chariotH7395 manH376, TurnH2015 thine handH3027, that thou mayest carry me outH3318 of the hostH4264; for I am woundedH2470. {at a venture: Heb. in his simplicity} {between…: Heb. between the joints and between the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
And the battleH4421 increasedH5927 that dayH3117: howbeit the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 stayed himself upH5975 in his chariotH4818 againstH5227 the SyriansH758 until the evenH6153: and about the timeH6256 of the sunH8121 going downH935 he diedH4191.
And there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 of the peopleH5971 and of their wivesH802 against their brethrenH251 the JewsH3064.
For there wereH3426 that saidH559, We, our sonsH1121, and our daughtersH1323, are manyH7227: therefore we take upH3947 cornH1715 for them, that we may eatH398, and liveH2421.
Some also there wereH3426 that saidH559, We have mortgagedH6148 our landsH7704, vineyardsH3754, and housesH1004, that we might buyH3947 cornH1715, because of the dearthH7458.
There wereH3426 also that saidH559, We have borrowedH3867 moneyH3701 for the king'sH4428 tributeH4060, and that upon our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
Yet now our fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of our brethrenH251, our childrenH1121 as their childrenH1121: and, lo, we bring into bondageH3533 our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 to be servantsH5650, and some of our daughtersH1323 areH3426 brought unto bondageH3533 already: neither is it in our powerH410+H3027 to redeem them; for other menH312 have our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
And I was veryH3966 angryH2734 when I heardH8085 their cryH2201 and these wordsH1697.
Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5378+H5383+H5375 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. {I consulted…: Heb. my heart consulted in me}
And I saidH559 unto them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, which were soldH4376 unto the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer.
Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341?
I likewise, and my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and cornH1715: I pray you, let us leave offH5800 this usuryH4855.
RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the cornH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them.
Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; so will we doH6213 as thou sayestH559. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697.
Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697. {emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}
Moreover from the timeH3117 that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me were chargeableH3513 unto the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
Yea, also I continuedH2388 in the workH4399 of this wallH2346, neither boughtH7069 we any landH7704: and all my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thither unto the workH4399.
Moreover there were at my tableH7979 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572+H376 of the JewsH3064 and rulersH5461, beside those that cameH935 unto us from among the heathenH1471 that are about usH5439.
Now that which was preparedH6213 for me dailyH3117 was oneH259 oxH7794 and sixH8337 choiceH1305 sheepH6629; also fowlsH6833 were preparedH6213 for me, and once in tenH6235 daysH3117 storeH7235 of all sorts of wineH3196: yet for allH5973 this requiredH1245 not I the breadH3899 of the governorH6346, because the bondageH5656 was heavyH3513 upon this peopleH5971.
ThinkH2142 upon me, my GodH430, for goodH2896, according to all that I have doneH6213 for this peopleH5971.
Now the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 had a veryH3966 greatH6099 multitudeH7227 of cattleH4735: and when they sawH7200 the landH776 of JazerH3270, and the landH776 of GileadH1568, that, behold, the placeH4725 was a placeH4725 for cattleH4735;
The childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 cameH935 and spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, and to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and unto the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712, sayingH559,
AtarothH5852, and DibonH1769, and JazerH3270, and NimrahH5247, and HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500, and ShebamH7643, and NeboH5015, and BeonH1194,
Even the countryH776 which the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, is a landH776 for cattleH4735, and thy servantsH5650 have cattleH4735:
Wherefore, saidH559 they, if we have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, let this landH776 be givenH5414 unto thy servantsH5650 for a possessionH272, and bring us not overH5674 JordanH3383.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and to the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, Shall your brethrenH251 goH935 to warH4421, and shall ye sitH3427 here?
And wherefore discourage yeH5106+H5106 the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from going overH5674 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 them? {discourage: Heb. break}
Thus didH6213 your fathersH1, when I sentH7971 them from KadeshbarneaH6947 to seeH7200 the landH776.
For when they went upH5927 unto the valleyH5158 of EshcolH812, and sawH7200 the landH776, they discouragedH5106 the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they should not goH935 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 had givenH5414 them.
And the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 was kindledH2734 the same timeH3117, and he swareH7650, sayingH559,
SurelyH518 none of the menH582 that came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, shall seeH7200 the landH127 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85, unto IsaacH3327, and unto JacobH3290; because they have not whollyH4390 followedH310 me: {wholly…: Heb. fulfilled after me}
Save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KeneziteH7074, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126: for they have whollyH4390 followedH310 the LORDH3068.
And the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he made them wanderH5128 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until all the generationH1755, that had doneH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, was consumedH8552.
And, behold, ye are risen upH6965 in your fathers'H1 stead, an increaseH8635 of sinfulH2400 menH582, to augmentH5595 yet the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 toward IsraelH3478.
For if ye turn awayH7725 from afterH310 him, he will yet againH3254 leaveH3240 them in the wildernessH4057; and ye shall destroyH7843 all this peopleH5971.
And they came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, We will buildH1129 sheepfoldsH1448+H6629 here for our cattleH4735, and citiesH5892 for our little onesH2945:
But we ourselvesH587 will go readyH2363 armedH2502 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, until we have broughtH935 them unto their placeH4725: and our little onesH2945 shall dwellH3427 in the fencedH4013 citiesH5892 becauseH6440 of the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776.
We will not returnH7725 unto our housesH1004, until the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have inheritedH5157 every manH376 his inheritanceH5159.
For we will not inheritH5157 with them on yonder sideH5676 JordanH3383, or forwardH1973; because our inheritanceH5159 is fallenH935 to us on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If ye will doH6213 this thingH1697, if ye will go armedH2502 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to warH4421,
And will goH5674 all of you armedH2502 overH5674 JordanH3383 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, until he hath driven outH3423 his enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 him,
And the landH776 be subduedH3533 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: then afterwardH310 ye shall returnH7725, and be guiltlessH5355 before the LORDH3068, and before IsraelH3478; and this landH776 shall be your possessionH272 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
But if ye will not do soH6213, behold, ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068: and be sureH3045 your sinH2403 will find you outH4672.
BuildH1129 you citiesH5892 for your little onesH2945, and foldsH1448 for your sheepH6792; and doH6213 that which hath proceededH3318 out of your mouthH6310.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, Thy servantsH5650 will doH6213 as my lordH113 commandethH6680.
Our little onesH2945, our wivesH802, our flocksH4735, and all our cattleH929, shall be there in the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568:
But thy servantsH5650 will pass overH5674, every man armedH2502 for warH6635, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to battleH4421, as my lordH113 saithH1696.
So concerning them MosesH4872 commandedH6680 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 will pass with you overH5674 JordanH3383, every man armedH2502 to battleH4421, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the landH776 shall be subduedH3533 beforeH6440 you; then ye shall giveH5414 them the landH776 of GileadH1568 for a possessionH272:
But if they will not pass overH5674 with you armedH2502, they shall have possessionsH270 amongH8432 you in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 answeredH6030, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 unto thy servantsH5650, so will we doH6213.
We willH5168 pass overH5674 armedH2502 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that the possessionH272 of our inheritanceH5159 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 may be ours.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 unto them, even to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and unto halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130, the kingdomH4467 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, the landH776, with the citiesH5892 thereof in the coastsH1367, even the citiesH5892 of the countryH776 round aboutH5439.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 builtH1129 DibonH1769, and AtarothH5852, and AroerH6177,
And Atroth, ShophanH5855, and JaazerH3270, and JogbehahH3011,
And BethnimrahH1039, and BethharanH1028, fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and foldsH1448 for sheepH6629.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 builtH1129 HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500, and KirjathaimH7156,
And NeboH5015, and BaalmeonH1186, (their namesH8034 being changedH4142,) and ShibmahH7643: and gaveH7121 other namesH8034+H8034 unto the citiesH5892 which they buildedH1129. {gave…: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities}
And the childrenH1121 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 wentH3212 to GileadH1568, and tookH3920 it, and dispossessedH3423 the AmoriteH567 which was in it.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 GileadH1568 unto MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519; and he dweltH3427 therein.
And JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 wentH1980 and tookH3920 the small townsH2333 thereof, and calledH7121 them HavothjairH2334.
And NobahH5025 wentH1980 and tookH3920 KenathH7079, and the villagesH1323 thereof, and calledH7121 it NobahH5025, after his own nameH8034.
