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}
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, LookH5027 not on his countenanceH4758, or on the heightH1364 of his statureH6967; because I have refusedH3988 him: for the LORD seeth not as manH120 seethH7200; for manH120 lookethH7200 on the outward appearanceH5869, but the LORDH3068 lookethH7200 on the heartH3824. {outward…: Heb. eyes}
In those daysH3117 the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to cutH7096 IsraelH3478 shortH7096: and HazaelH2371 smoteH5221 them in all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478; {to cut: Heb. to cut off the ends}
From JordanH3383 eastwardH4217+H8121, all the landH776 of GileadH1568, the GaditesH1425, and the ReubenitesH7206, and the ManassitesH4520, from AroerH6177, which is by the riverH5158 ArnonH769, even GileadH1568 and BashanH1316. {eastward: Heb. toward the rising of the sun} {even…: or, even to Gilead and Bashan}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 and saidH559, TellH1696 him, Let not him that girdethH2296 on his harness boastH1984 himself as he that putteth it offH6605.
And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: their strong holdsH4013 wilt thou setH7971 on fireH784, and their young menH970 wilt thou slayH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 their childrenH5768, and rip upH1234 their women with childH2030.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my placeH4725, till they acknowledge their offenceH816, and seekH1245 my faceH6440: in their afflictionH6862 they will seek me earlyH7836. {acknowledge…: Heb. be guilty}
What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?

But HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059.
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.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshing instrumentsH2742 of ironH1270: {and…: or, yea, for four} {turn…: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}
