1 Now king 04428 David 01732 was old 02204 and advanced 0935 in years 03117; and they covered 03680 him with clothes 0899, but he could not get warm 03179. stricken…: Heb. entered into days
2 Therefore his servants 05650 said 0559 to him, Let there be sought 01245 for my lord 0113 the king 04428 a young 05291 virgin 01330: and let her stand 05975 before 06440 the king 04428, and let her cherish 05532 him, and let her lie 07901 in thy bosom 02436, that my lord 0113 the king 04428 may get warm 02552. Let there…: Heb. Let them seeka young…: Heb. a damsel, a virgincherish…: Heb. be a cherisher unto him
3 So they sought 01245 for a fair 03303 damsel 05291 throughout all the land 01366 of Israel 03478, and found 04672 Abishag 049 a Shunammite 07767, and brought 0935 her to the king 04428.
4 And the damsel 05291 was very 03966 fair 03303, and cherished 05532 the king 04428, and ministered 08334 to him: but the king 04428 knew 03045 her not.
5 Then Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 exalted 04984 himself, saying 0559, I will be king 04427: and he prepared 06213 him chariots 07393 and horsemen 06571, and fifty 02572 men 0376 to run 07323 before 06440 him. be king: Heb. reign
6 And his father 01 had not displeased 06087 him at any time 03117 in saying 0559, Why hast thou done so 06213? and he also was a very 03966 handsome 02896, 8389 man; and his mother bore 03205 him after 0310 Absalom 053. at any…: Heb. from his days
7 And he conferred 01697 with Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870, and with Abiathar 054 the priest 03548: and they following 0310 Adonijah 0138 helped 05826 him. he…: Heb. his words were withfollowing…: Heb. helped after Adonijah
8 But Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Shimei 08096, and Rei 07472, and the mighty men 01368 who belonged to David 01732, were not with Adonijah 0138.
9 And Adonijah 0138 slew 02076 sheep 06629 and oxen 01241 and fat cattle 04806 by the stone 068 of Zoheleth 02120, which is by 0681 Enrogel 05883, and invited 07121 all his brethren 0251 the king’s 04428 sons 01121, and all the men 0582 of Judah 03063 the king’s 04428 servants 05650: Enrogel: or, the well Rogel
10 But Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141, and the mighty men 01368, and Solomon 08010 his brother 0251, he called 07121 not.
11 Therefore Nathan 05416 spoke 0559 to Bathsheba 01339 the mother 0517 of Solomon 08010, saying 0559, Hast thou not heard 08085 that Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 doth reign 04427, and David 01732 our lord 0113 knoweth 03045 it not?
12 Now therefore come 03212, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel 03289, 6098, that thou mayest save 04422 thy own life 05315, and the life 05315 of thy son 01121 Solomon 08010.
13 Go 03212 and enter in 0935 to king 04428 David 01732, and say 0559 to him, Didst not thou, my lord 0113, O king 04428, swear 07650 to thy handmaid 0519, saying 0559, Assuredly 03588 Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 upon my throne 03678? why then doth Adonijah 0138 reign 04427?
14 Behold, while thou art yet talking 01696 there with the king 04428, I will also come in 0935 after 0310 thee, and confirm 04390 thy words 01697. confirm: Heb. fill up
15 And Bathsheba 01339 went 0935 to the king 04428 into the chamber 02315: and the king 04428 was very 03966 old 02204; and Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 ministered 08334 to the king 04428.
16 And Bathsheba 01339 bowed 06915, and did obeisance 07812 to the king 04428. And the king 04428 said 0559, What wouldest thou? What…: Heb. What to thee?
17 And she said 0559 to him, My lord 0113, thou didst swear 07650 by the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 to thy handmaid 0519, saying, Assuredly Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 upon my throne 03678.
18 And now, behold, Adonijah 0138 reigneth 04427; and now, my lord 0113 the king 04428, thou knowest 03045 it not:
19 And he hath slain 02076 oxen 07794 and fat cattle 04806 and sheep 06629 in abundance 07230, and hath invited 07121 all the sons 01121 of the king 04428, and Abiathar 054 the priest 03548, and Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635: but Solomon 08010 thy servant 05650 hath he not invited 07121.
20 And thou, my lord 0113, O king 04428, the eyes 05869 of all Israel 03478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell 05046 them who shall sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 after 0310 him.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord 0113 the king 04428 shall sleep 07901 with his fathers 01, that I and my son 01121 Solomon 08010 shall be counted offenders 02400. offenders: Heb. sinners
22 And, lo, while she was yet talking 01696 with the king 04428, Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 also came in 0935.
23 And they told 05046 the king 04428, saying 0559, Behold Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030. And when he had come in 0935 before 06440 the king 04428, he bowed 07812 himself before the king 04428 with his face 0639 to the ground 0776.
24 And Nathan 05416 said 0559, My lord 0113, O king 04428, hast thou said 0559, Adonijah 0138 shall reign 04427 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 upon my throne 03678?
25 For he hath gone down 03381 this day 03117, and hath slain 02076 oxen 07794 and fat cattle 04806 and sheep 06629 in abundance 07230, and hath invited 07121 all the king’s 04428 sons 01121, and the captains 08269 of the host 06635, and Abiathar 054 the priest 03548; and, behold, they eat 0398 and drink 08354 before 06440 him, and say 0559, God save 02421 king 04428 Adonijah 0138. God…: Heb. Let king Adonijah live
26 But me, even me thy servant 05650, and Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and thy servant 05650 Solomon 08010, hath he not invited 07121.
27 Is this thing 01697 done 01961 by my lord 0113 the king 04428, and thou hast not shown 03045 it to thy servant 05650, who should sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 after 0310 him?
28 Then king 04428 David 01732 answered 06030 and said 0559, Call 07121 me Bathsheba 01339. And she came 0935 into the king’s 04428 presence 06440, and stood 05975 before 06440 the king 04428. into…: Heb. before the king
29 And the king 04428 swore 07650, and said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, that hath redeemed 06299 my soul 05315 out of all distress 06869,
30 Even as I swore 07650 to thee by the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559, Assuredly Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 upon my throne 03678 in my stead; even so will I certainly do 06213 this day 03117.
31 Then Bathsheba 01339 bowed 06915 with her face 0639 to the earth 0776, and did reverence 07812 to the king 04428, and said 0559, Let my lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732 live 02421 for ever 05769.
32 And king 04428 David 01732 said 0559, Call 07121 me Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077. And they came 0935 before 06440 the king 04428.
33 The king 04428 also said 0559 to them, Take 03947 with you the servants 05650 of your lord 0113, and cause Solomon 08010 my son 01121 to ride 07392 upon my own mule 06506, and bring him down 03381 to Gihon 01521: mine…: Heb. which belongeth to me
34 And let Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 anoint 04886 him there king 04428 over Israel 03478: and blow 08628 ye with the trumpet 07782, and say 0559, God save 02421 king 04428 Solomon 08010.
35 Then ye shall come up 05927 after 0310 him, that he may come 0935 and sit 03427 upon my throne 03678; for he shall be king 04427 in my stead: and I have appointed 06680 him to be ruler 05057 over Israel 03478 and over Judah 03063.
36 And Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 answered 06030 the king 04428, and said 0559, Amen 0543: the LORD 03068 God 0430 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 say 0559 so too.
37 As the LORD 03068 hath been with my lord 0113 the king 04428, even so let him be with Solomon 08010, and make 01431 his throne 03678 greater 01431 than the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732.
38 So Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and the Cherethites 03774, and the Pelethites 06432, went down 03381, and caused Solomon 08010 to ride 07392 upon king 04428 David’s 01732 mule 06506, and brought 03212 him to Gihon 01521.
39 And Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 took 03947 an horn 07161 of oil 08081 out of the tabernacle 0168, and anointed 04886 Solomon 08010. And they blew 08628 the trumpet 07782; and all the people 05971 said 0559, God save 02421 king 04428 Solomon 08010.
40 And all the people 05971 came up 05927 after 0310 him, and the people 05971 piped 02490 with pipes 02485, and rejoiced 08056 with great 01419 joy 08057, so that the earth 0776 shook 01234 with the sound 06963 of them. pipes: or, flutes
41 And Adonijah 0138 and all the guests 07121 that were with him heard 08085 it as they had finished 03615 eating 0398. And when Joab 03097 heard 08085 the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782, he said 0559, Why is this noise 06963 of the city 07151 being in an uproar 01993?
42 And while he yet spoke 01696, behold, Jonathan 03129 the son 01121 of Abiathar 054 the priest 03548 came 0935: and Adonijah 0138 said 0559 to him, Come in 0935; for thou art a valiant 02428 man 0376, 381, and bringest 01319 good 02896 tidings 01319.
43 And Jonathan 03129 answered 06030 and said 0559 to Adonijah 0138, Verily 061 our lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732 hath made Solomon 08010 king 04427.
44 And the king 04428 hath sent 07971 with him Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and the Cherethites 03774, and the Pelethites 06432, and they have caused him to ride 07392 upon the king’s 04428 mule 06506:
45 And Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 have anointed 04886 him king 04428 in Gihon 01521: and they have come 05927 from there rejoicing 08056, so that the city 07151 is in an uproar 01949. This is the noise 06963 that ye have heard 08085.
46 And also Solomon 08010 sitteth 03427 on the throne 03678 of the kingdom 04410.
47 And moreover the king’s 04428 servants 05650 came 0935 to bless 01288 our lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732, saying 0559, God 0430 make the name 08034 of Solomon 08010 better 03190 than thy name 08034, and make 01431 his throne 03678 greater 01431 than thy throne 03678. And the king 04428 bowed 07812 himself upon the bed 04904.
48 And also thus said 0559 the king 04428, Blessed 01288 be the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, who hath given 05414 one to sit 03427 on my throne 03678 this day 03117, my eyes 05869 even seeing 07200 it.
49 And all the guests 07121 that were with Adonijah 0138 were afraid 02729, and arose 06965, and went 03212 every man 0376 his way 01870.
50 And Adonijah 0138 feared 03372 because 06440 of Solomon 08010, and arose 06965, and went 03212, and caught hold 02388 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196.
51 And it was told 05046 Solomon 08010, saying 0559, Behold, Adonijah 0138 feareth 03372 king 04428 Solomon 08010: for, lo, he hath caught hold 0270 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196, saying 0559, Let king 04428 Solomon 08010 swear 07650 to me to day 03117 that he will not slay 04191 his servant 05650 with the sword 02719.
52 And Solomon 08010 said 0559, If he will show himself a worthy 02428 man 01121, there shall not an hair 08185 of him fall 05307 to the earth 0776: but if wickedness 07451 shall be found 04672 in him, he shall die 04191.
53 So king 04428 Solomon 08010 sent 07971, and they brought him down 03381 from the altar 04196. And he came 0935 and bowed 07812 himself to king 04428 Solomon 08010: and Solomon 08010 said 0559 to him, Go 03212 to thy house 01004.
1 Now the days 03117 of David 01732 drew near 07126 that he should die 04191; and he charged 06680 Solomon 08010 his son 01121, saying 0559,
2 I go 01980 the way 01870 of all the earth 0776: be thou strong 02388 therefore, and show thyself a man 0376;
3 And keep 08104 the charge 04931 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to walk 03212 in his ways 01870, to keep 08104 his statutes 02708, and his commandments 04687, and his judgments 04941, and his testimonies 05715, as it is written 03789 in the law 08451 of Moses 04872, that thou mayest prosper 07919 in all that thou doest 06213, and wherever thou turnest 06437 thyself: prosper: or, do wisely
4 That the LORD 03068 may continue 06965 his word 01697 which he spoke 01696 concerning me, saying 0559, If thy children 01121 take heed 08104 to their way 01870, to walk 03212 before 06440 me in truth 0571 with all their heart 03824 and with all their soul 05315, there shall not fail 03772 thee (said 0559 he) a man 0376 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478. fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne
5 Moreover thou knowest 03045 also what Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870 did 06213 to me, and what he did 06213 to the two 08147 captains 08269 of the armies 06635 of Israel 03478, to Abner 074 the son 01121 of Ner 05369, and to Amasa 06021 the son 01121 of Jether 03500, whom he slew 02026, and shed 07760 the blood 01818 of war 04421 in peace 07965, and put 05414 the blood 01818 of war 04421 upon his belt 02290 that was about his loins 04975, and in his shoes 05275 that were on his feet 07272. shed: Heb. put
6 Do 06213 therefore according to thy wisdom 02451, and let not his gray head 07872 go down 03381 to the grave 07585 in peace 07965.
7 But show 06213 kindness 02617 to the sons 01121 of Barzillai 01271 the Gileadite 01569, and let them be of those that eat 0398 at thy table 07979: for so they came 07126 to me when I fled 01272 because 06440 of Absalom 053 thy brother 0251.
8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei 08096 the son 01121 of Gera 01617, a Benjamite 01145 of Bahurim 0980, who cursed 07043 me with a grievous 04834 curse 07045 in the day 03117 when I went 03212 to Mahanaim 04266: but he came down 03381 to meet 07125 me at Jordan 03383, and I swore 07650 to him by the LORD 03068, saying 0559, I will not put thee to death 04191 with the sword 02719. grievous: Heb. strong
9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless 05352: for thou art a wise 02450 man 0376, and knowest 03045 what thou oughtest to do 06213 to him; but his gray head 07872 do thou bring down 03381 to the grave 07585 with blood 01818.
10 So David 01732 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in the city 05892 of David 01732.
11 And the days 03117 that David 01732 reigned 04427 over Israel 03478 were forty 0705 years 08141: seven 07651 years 08141 reigned 04427 he in Hebron 02275, and thirty 07970 and three 07969 years 08141 reigned 04427 he in Jerusalem 03389.
12 Then Solomon 08010 was seated 03427 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732 his father 01; and his kingdom 04438 was established 03559 greatly 03966.
13 And Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 came 0935 to Bathsheba 01339 the mother 0517 of Solomon 08010. And she said 0559, Comest 0935 thou peaceably 07965? And he said 0559, Peaceably 07965.
14 He said 0559 moreover, I have somewhat to say 01697 to thee. And she said 0559, Say on 01696.
15 And he said 0559, Thou knowest 03045 that the kingdom 04410 was mine, and that all Israel 03478 set 07760 their faces 06440 on me, that I should reign 04427: but the kingdom 04410 is turned about 05437, and hath become my brother’s 0251: for it was his from the LORD 03068.
16 And now I ask 07592 one 0259 petition 07596 of thee, deny 07725 me 06440 not. And she said 0559 to him, Say on 01696. deny…: Heb. turn not away my face
17 And he said 0559, Speak 0559, I pray thee, to Solomon 08010 the king 04428, (for he will not say 07725 to thee 06440 no 07725,) that he give 05414 me Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 for a wife 0802.
18 And Bathsheba 01339 said 0559, Well 02896; I will speak 01696 for thee to the king 04428.
19 Bathsheba 01339 therefore went 0935 to king 04428 Solomon 08010, to speak 01696 to him for Adonijah 0138. And the king 04428 rose up 06965 to meet 07125 her, and bowed 07812 himself to her, and sat down 03427 on his throne 03678, and caused a seat 03678 to be set 07760 for the king’s 04428 mother 0517; and she sat 03427 on his right hand 03225.
20 Then she said 0559, I desire 07592 one 0259 small 06996 petition 07596 of thee; I pray thee, deny 07725 me 06440 not 07725. And the king 04428 said 0559 to her, Ask on 07592, my mother 0517: for I will not deny 07725 thee 06440.
21 And she said 0559, Let Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 be given 05414 to Adonijah 0138 thy brother 0251 for a wife 0802.
22 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 answered 06030 and said 0559 to his mother 0517, And why dost thou ask 07592 Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 for Adonijah 0138? ask 07592 for him the kingdom 04410 also; for he is my elder 01419 brother 0251; even for him, and for Abiathar 054 the priest 03548, and for Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870.
23 Then king 04428 Solomon 08010 swore 07650 by the LORD 03068, saying 0559, God 0430 do 06213 so to me, and more also 03254, if Adonijah 0138 hath not spoken 01696 this word 01697 against his own life 05315.
24 Now therefore, as the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, who hath established 03559 me, and set 03427 me on the throne 03678 of David 01732 my father 01, and who hath made 06213 me an house 01004, as he promised 01696, Adonijah 0138 shall be put to death 04191 this day 03117.
25 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 sent 07971 by the hand 03027 of Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077; and he fell 06293 upon him that he died 04191.
26 And to Abiathar 054 the priest 03548 said 0559 the king 04428, Depart 03212 to Anathoth 06068, to thy own fields 07704; for thou art worthy 0376 of death 04194: but I will not at this time 03117 put thee to death 04191, because thou didst bear 05375 the ark 0727 of the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 before 06440 David 01732 my father 01, and because thou hast been afflicted 06031 in all in which my father 01 was afflicted 06031. worthy…: Heb. a man of death
27 So Solomon 08010 removed 01644 Abiathar 054 from being priest 03548 to the LORD 03068; that he might fulfil 04390 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 concerning the house 01004 of Eli 05941 in Shiloh 07887.
28 Then tidings 08052 came 0935 to Joab 03097: for Joab 03097 had turned 05186 after 0310 Adonijah 0138, though he turned 05186 not after 0310 Absalom 053. And Joab 03097 fled 05127 to the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068, and caught hold 02388 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196.
29 And it was told 05046 to king 04428 Solomon 08010 that Joab 03097 had fled 05127 to the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068; and, behold, he is by 0681 the altar 04196. Then Solomon 08010 sent 07971 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, saying 0559, Go 03212, fall 06293 upon him.
30 And Benaiah 01141 came 0935 to the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068, and said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Come forth 03318. And he said 0559, Nay; but I will die 04191 here. And Benaiah 01141 brought 07725 the king 04428 word 01697 again 07725, saying 0559, Thus said 01696 Joab 03097, and thus he answered 06030 me.
31 And the king 04428 said 0559 to him, Do 06213 as he hath said 01696, and fall 06293 upon him, and bury 06912 him; that thou mayest take away 05493 the innocent 02600 blood 01818, which Joab 03097 shed 08210, from me, and from the house 01004 of my father 01.
32 And the LORD 03068 shall return 07725 his blood 01818 upon his own head 07218, who fell 06293 upon two 08147 men 0582 more righteous 06662 and better 02896 than he, and slew 02026 them with the sword 02719, my father 01 David 01732 not knowing 03045 of it, that is, Abner 074 the son 01121 of Ner 05369, captain 08269 of the host 06635 of Israel 03478, and Amasa 06021 the son 01121 of Jether 03500, captain 08269 of the host 06635 of Judah 03063.
33 Their blood 01818 shall therefore return 07725 upon the head 07218 of Joab 03097, and upon the head 07218 of his seed 02233 for ever 05769: but upon David 01732, and upon his seed 02233, and upon his house 01004, and upon his throne 03678, shall there be peace 07965 for 05704 ever 05769 from the LORD 03068.
34 So Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 went 05927, and fell 06293 upon him, and slew 04191 him: and he was buried 06912 in his own house 01004 in the wilderness 04057.
35 And the king 04428 put 05414 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 in his stead over the army 06635: and Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 the king 04428 put 05414 in the stead of Abiathar 054.
36 And the king 04428 sent 07971 and called 07121 for Shimei 08096, and said 0559 to him, Build 01129 thee an house 01004 in Jerusalem 03389, and dwell 03427 there, and go not forth 03318 from there to any place whatever 0575.
37 For it shall be, that on the day 03117 thou shalt go out 03318, and pass over 05674 the brook 05158 Kidron 06939, thou shalt know 03045 for certain 03045 that thou shalt surely 04191 die 04191: thy blood 01818 shall be upon thy own head 07218.
38 And Shimei 08096 said 0559 to the king 04428, The saying 01697 is good 02896: as my lord 0113 the king 04428 hath said 01696, so will thy servant 05650 do 06213. And Shimei 08096 dwelt 03427 in Jerusalem 03389 many 07227 days 03117.
39 And it came to pass at the end 07093 of three 07969 years 08141, that two 08147 of the servants 05650 of Shimei 08096 ran away 01272 to Achish 0397 son 01121 of Maachah 04601 king 04428 of Gath 01661. And they told 05046 Shimei 08096, saying 0559, Behold, thy servants 05650 are in Gath 01661.
40 And Shimei 08096 arose 06965, and saddled 02280 his donkey 02543, and went 03212 to Gath 01661 to Achish 0397 to seek 01245 his servants 05650: and Shimei 08096 went 03212, and brought 0935 his servants 05650 from Gath 01661.
41 And it was told 05046 to Solomon 08010 that Shimei 08096 had gone 01980 from Jerusalem 03389 to Gath 01661, and had returned 07725.
42 And the king 04428 sent 07971 and called 07121 for Shimei 08096, and said 0559 to him, Did I not make thee to swear 07650 by the LORD 03068, and protest 05749 to thee, saying 0559, Know 03045 for a certain 03045, on the day 03117 thou goest out 03318, and walkest 01980 any where abroad 0575, that thou shalt surely 04191 die 04191? and thou saidst 0559 to me, The word 01697 that I have heard 08085 is good 02896.
43 Why then hast thou not kept 08104 the oath 07621 of the LORD 03068, and the commandment 04687 that I have charged 06680 thee with?
44 The king 04428 said 0559 moreover to Shimei 08096, Thou knowest 03045 all the wickedness 07451 which thy heart 03824 is aware of 03045, that thou didst 06213 to David 01732 my father 01: therefore the LORD 03068 shall return 07725 thy wickedness 07451 upon thy own head 07218;
45 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 shall be blessed 01288, and the throne 03678 of David 01732 shall be established 03559 before 06440 the LORD 03068 for 05704 ever 05769.
46 So the king 04428 commanded 06680 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077; who went out 03318, and fell 06293 upon him, that he died 04191. And the kingdom 04467 was established 03559 in the hand 03027 of Solomon 08010.
1 And Solomon 08010 allied himself 02859 with Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and married 03947 Pharaoh’s 06547 daughter 01323, and brought 0935 her into the city 05892 of David 01732, until he had finished 03615 building 01129 his own house 01004, and the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 on every side 05439.
2 Only the people 05971 sacrificed 02076 in high places 01116, because there was no house 01004 built 01129 to the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, until those days 03117.
3 And Solomon 08010 loved 0157 the LORD 03068, walking 03212 in the statutes 02708 of David 01732 his father 01: only he sacrificed 02076 and burnt incense 06999 in high places 01116.
4 And the king 04428 went 03212 to Gibeon 01391 to sacrifice 02076 there; for that 01931 was the great 01419 high place 01116: a thousand 0505 burnt offerings 05930 did Solomon 08010 offer 05927 upon that altar 04196.
5 In Gibeon 01391 the LORD 03068 appeared 07200 to Solomon 08010 in a dream 02472 by night 03915: and God 0430 said 0559, Ask 07592 what I shall give 05414 thee.
6 And Solomon 08010 said 0559, Thou hast shown 06213 to thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 great 01419 mercy 02617, according as he walked 01980 before 06440 thee in truth 0571, and in righteousness 06666, and in uprightness 03483 of heart 03824 with thee; and thou hast kept 08104 for him this great 01419 kindness 02617, that thou hast given 05414 him a son 01121 to sit 03427 on his throne 03678, as it is this day 03117. mercy: or, bounty
7 And now, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, thou hast made thy servant 05650 king 04427 instead of David 01732 my father 01: and I am but a little 06996 child 05288: I know 03045 not how to go out 03318 or come in 0935.
8 And thy servant 05650 is in the midst 08432 of thy people 05971 which thou hast chosen 0977, a great 07227 people 05971, that cannot be numbered 04487 nor counted 05608 for multitude 07230.
9 Give 05414 therefore to thy servant 05650 an understanding 08085 heart 03820 to judge 08199 thy people 05971, that I may discern 0995 between good 02896 and bad 07451: for who is able 03201 to judge 08199 this thy so great 03515 a people 05971? understanding: Heb. hearing
10 And the speech 01697 pleased 03190, 5869 the Lord 0136, that Solomon 08010 had asked 07592 this thing 01697.
11 And God 0430 said 0559 to him, Because thou hast asked 07592 this thing 01697, and hast not asked 07592 for thyself long 07227 life 03117; neither hast asked 07592 riches 06239 for thyself, nor hast asked 07592 the life 05315 of thy enemies 0341; but hast asked 07592 for thyself understanding 0995 to discern 08085 judgment 04941; long life: Heb. many daysdiscern: Heb. hear
12 Behold, I have done 06213 according to thy words 01697: lo, I have given 05414 thee a wise 02450 and an understanding 0995 heart 03820; so that there hath been none like thee before 06440 thee, neither after 0310 thee shall any arise 06965 like thee.
13 And I have also given 05414 thee that which thou hast not asked 07592, both riches 06239, and honour 03519: so that there shall not be any 0376 among the kings 04428 like thee all thy days 03117. shall…: or, hath not been
14 And if thou wilt walk 03212 in my ways 01870, to keep 08104 my statutes 02706 and my commandments 04687, as thy father 01 David 01732 did walk 01980, then I will lengthen 0748 thy days 03117.
15 And Solomon 08010 awoke 03364; and, behold, it was a dream 02472. And he came 0935 to Jerusalem 03389, and stood 05975 before 06440 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, and offered up 05927 burnt offerings 05930, and offered 06213 peace offerings 08002, and made 06213 a feast 04960 to all his servants 05650.
16 Then came 0935 there two 08147 women 0802, that were harlots 02181, to the king 04428, and stood 05975 before 06440 him.
17 And the one 0259 woman 0802 said 0559, O 0994 my lord 0113, I and this woman 0802 dwell 03427 in one 0259 house 01004; and I was delivered of a child 03205 with her in the house 01004.
18 And it came to pass the third 07992 day 03117 after I was delivered 03205, that this woman 0802 was delivered 03205 also: and we were together 03162; there was no stranger 02114 with us in the house 01004, except 02108 us two 08147 in the house 01004.
19 And this woman’s 0802 child 01121 died 04191 in the night 03915; because she lay on 07901 him.
20 And she arose 06965 at midnight 08432, 3915, and took 03947 my son 01121 from beside 0681 me, while thy handmaid 0519 slept 03463, and laid 07901 him in her bosom 02436, and laid 07901 her dead 04191 child 01121 in my bosom 02436.
21 And when I rose 06965 in the morning 01242 to nurse 03243 my child 01121, behold, he was dead 04191: but when I had looked at 0995 him in the morning 01242, behold, he was not my son 01121, whom I bore 03205.
22 And the other 0312 woman 0802 said 0559, Nay; but the living 02416 is my son 01121, and the dead 04191 is thy son 01121. And this said 0559, No; but the dead 04191 is thy son 01121, and the living 02416 is my son 01121. Thus they spoke 01696 before 06440 the king 04428.
23 Then said 0559 the king 04428, The one 02063 saith 0559, This is my son 01121 that liveth 02416, and thy son 01121 is the dead 04191: and the other 02063 saith 0559, Nay; but thy son 01121 is the dead 04191, and my son 01121 is the living 02416.
24 And the king 04428 said 0559, Bring 03947 me a sword 02719. And they brought 0935 a sword 02719 before 06440 the king 04428.
25 And the king 04428 said 0559, Divide 01504 the living 02416 child 03206 in two 08147, and give 05414 half 02677 to the one 0259, and half 02677 to the other 0259.
26 Then spoke 0559 the woman 0802 whose the living 02416 child 01121 was to the king 04428, for her heart 07356 yearned 03648 over her son 01121, and she said 0559, O 0994 my lord 0113, give 05414 her the living 02416 child 03205, and by no means 04191 slay 04191 him. But the other said 0559, Let he be neither mine nor thine, but divide 01504 him. yearned: Heb. were hot
27 Then the king 04428 answered 06030 and said 0559, Give 05414 her the living 02416 child 03205, and by no means 04191 slay 04191 him: she is his mother 0517.
28 And all Israel 03478 heard 08085 of the judgment 04941 which the king 04428 had judged 08199; and they feared 03372 the king 06440: for they saw 07200 that the wisdom 02451 of God 0430 was in him 07130, to do 06213 judgment 04941. in him: Heb. in the midst of him
1 So king 04428 Solomon 08010 was king 04428 over all Israel 03478.

4 But now the LORD 03068 my God 0430 hath given me rest 05117 on every side 05439, so that there is neither adversary 07854 nor evil 07451 occurrent 06294.
5 And, behold, I purpose 0559 to build 01129 an house 01004 to the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 my God 0430, as the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 to David 01732 my father 01, saying 0559, Thy son 01121, whom I will set 05414 upon thy throne 03678 in thy stead, he shall build 01129 an house 01004 to my name 08034. purpose: Heb. say
6 Now therefore command 06680 thou that they hew 03772 me cedar trees 0730 out of Lebanon 03844; and my servants 05650 shall be with thy servants 05650: and to thee will I give 05414 hire 07939 for thy servants 05650 according to all that thou shalt appoint 0559: for thou knowest 03045 that there is not among us any 0376 that hast skill 03045 to hew 03772 timber 06086 like the Sidonians 06722. appoint: Heb. say
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram 02438 heard 08085 the words 01697 of Solomon 08010, that he rejoiced 08055 greatly 03966, and said 0559, Blessed 01288 be the LORD 03068 this day 03117, who hath given 05414 to David 01732 a wise 02450 son 01121 over this great 07227 people 05971.
8 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 to Solomon 08010, saying 0559, I have considered 08085 the things which thou sentest 07971 to me for: and I will perform 06213 all thy desire 02656 concerning timber 06086 of cedar 0730, and concerning timber 06086 of fir 01265. considered: Heb. heard
9 My servants 05650 shall bring them down 03381 from Lebanon 03844 to the sea 03220: and I will convey 07760 them by sea 03220 in floats 01702 to the place 04725 that thou shalt appoint 07971 me, and will cause them to be discharged 05310 there, and thou shalt receive 05375 them: and thou shalt accomplish 06213 my desire 02656, in giving 05414 food 03899 for my household 01004. appoint: Heb. send

11 And Solomon 08010 gave 05414 Hiram 02438 twenty 06242 thousand 0505 measures 03734 of wheat 02406 for food 04361 to his household 01004, and twenty 06242 measures 03734 of pure 03795 oil 08081: thus gave 05414 Solomon 08010 to Hiram 02438 year 08141 by year 08141. measures: Heb. cors
12 And the LORD 03068 gave 05414 Solomon 08010 wisdom 02451, as he promised 01696 him: and there was peace 07965 between Hiram 02438 and Solomon 08010; and they two 08147 made 03772 a league 01285 together 08147.
13 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 raised 05927 forced labour 04522 out of all Israel 03478; and the levy 04522 was thirty 07970 thousand 0505 men 0376. levy: Heb. tribute of men

34 And there were four 0702 supports 03802 to the four 0702 corners 06438 of one 0259 base 04350: and the supports 03802 were of the very base 04350 itself.
35 And in the top 07218 of the base 04350 it was perfectly round 05439, 5696 at a height 06967 of half 02677 a cubit 0520: and on the top 07218 of the base 04350 its frames 03027 and its borders 04526 were of the same.
36 For on the plates 03871 of its frames 03027, and on its borders 04526, he engraved 06605 cherubim 03742, lions 0738, and palm trees 08561, according to the proportion 04626 of every one 0376, and additions 03914 all around 05439. proportion: Heb. nakedness

38 Then he made 06213 ten 06235 lavers 03595 of brass 05178: one 0259 laver 03595 contained 03557 forty 0705 baths 01324: and every 0259 laver 03595 was four 0702 cubits 0520: and upon every one 0259 of the ten 06235 bases 04350 one 0259 laver 03595.
39 And he put 05414 five 02568 bases 04350 on the right 03225 side 03802 of the house 01004, and five 02568 on the left 08040 side 03802 of the house 01004: and he set 05414 the sea 03220 on the right 03233 side 03802 of the house 01004 eastward 06924 toward 04136 the south 05045. side: Heb. shoulder

7 For the cherubim 03742 spread forth 06566 their two wings 03671 over the place 04725 of the ark 0727, and the cherubim 03742 covered 05526 the ark 0727 and its staffs 0905 above 04605.
8 And they drew out 0748 the staffs 0905, that the ends 07218 of the staffs 0905 were seen out 07200 in the holy 06944 place before 06440 the inner sanctuary 01687, and they were not seen 07200 outside 02351: and there they are to this day 03117. ends: Heb. headsholy…: or, ark

13 I have surely 01129 built 01129 thee an house 01004 to dwell in 02073, a settled place 04349 for thee to abide in 03427 for ever 05769.
14 And the king 04428 turned 05437 his face 06440 about 05437, and blessed 01288 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478: (and all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 were standing 05975;)
15 And he said 0559, Blessed 01288 be the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, who spoke 01696 with his mouth 06310 to David 01732 my father 01, and hath with his hand 03027 fulfilled 04390 it, saying 0559,
16 Since the day 03117 that I brought forth 03318 my people 05971 Israel 03478 from Egypt 04714, I have chosen 0977 no city 05892 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478 to build 01129 an house 01004, that my name 08034 might be in it; but I chose 0977 David 01732 to be over my people 05971 Israel 03478.
17 And it was in the heart 03824 of David 01732 my father 01 to build 01129 an house 01004 for the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478.
18 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to David 01732 my father 01, Though 03282, 834 it was in thy heart 03824 to build 01129 an house 01004 to my name 08034, thou didst well 02895 that it was in thy heart 03824.
19 Nevertheless 07535 thou shalt not build 01129 the house 01004; but thy son 01121 that shall come forth out 03318 of thy loins 02504, he shall build 01129 the house 01004 to my name 08034.
20 And the LORD 03068 hath performed 06965 his word 01697 that he spoke 01696, and I have risen 06965 in the stead of David 01732 my father 01, and sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478, as the LORD 03068 promised 01696, and have built 01129 an house 01004 for the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478.
21 And I have set 07760 there a place 04725 for the ark 0727, in which is the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, which he made 03772 with our fathers 01, when he brought them from 03318 the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
22 And Solomon 08010 stood 05975 before 06440 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 in the presence of 05048 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478, and spread forth 06566 his hands 03709 toward heaven 08064:
23 And he said 0559, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, there is no God 0430 like thee, in heaven 08064 above 04605, or on earth 0776 beneath, who keepest 08104 covenant 01285 and mercy 02617 with thy servants 05650 that walk 01980 before 06440 thee with all their heart 03820:
24 Who hast kept 08104 with thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 that which thou didst promise 01696 him: thou didst speak 01696 also with thy mouth 06310, and hast fulfilled 04390 it with thy hand 03027, as it is this day 03117.
25 Therefore now, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, keep 08104 with thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 that which thou didst promise 01696 him, saying 0559, There shall not fail 03772 thee a man 0376 in my sight 06440 to sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478; provided 07535 thy children 01121 take heed 08104 to their way 01870, that they walk 03212 before 06440 me as thou hast walked 01980 before 06440 me. fail…: Heb. be cut off unto thee a man from my sightso that: Heb. only if
26 And now, O God 0430 of Israel 03478, let thy word 01697, I pray thee, be verified 0539, which thou didst speak 01696 to thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01.
27 But will God 0430 indeed 0552 dwell 03427 on the earth 0776? behold, the heaven 08064 and heaven 08064 of heavens 08064 cannot contain 03557 thee; how much less 0637 this house 01004 that I have built 01129?
28 Yet have thou respect 06437 to the prayer 08605 of thy servant 05650, and to his supplication 08467, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, to hearken 08085 to the cry 07440 and to the prayer 08605, which thy servant 05650 prayeth 06419 before 06440 thee this day 03117:
29 That thy eyes 05869 may be open 06605 toward this house 01004 night 03915 and day 03117, even toward the place 04725 of which thou hast said 0559, My name 08034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearken 08085 to the prayer 08605 which thy servant 05650 shall make 06419 toward this place 04725. toward this place: or, in this place
30 And hearken 08085 thou to the supplication 08467 of thy servant 05650, and of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, when they shall pray 06419 toward this place 04725: and hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 place 04725: and when thou hearest 08085, forgive 05545. toward this place: or, in this place
31 If any man 0376 shall trespass 02398 against his neighbour 07453, and an oath 0423 be laid 05375 upon him to cause him to swear 0422, and the oath 0423 come 0935 before 06440 thy altar 04196 in this house 01004: and an oath…: Heb. and he require an oath of him
32 Then hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064, and do 06213, and judge 08199 thy servants 05650, condemning 07561 the wicked 07563, to bring 05414 his way 01870 upon his head 07218; and justifying 06663 the righteous 06662, to give 05414 him according to his righteousness 06666.
33 When thy people 05971 Israel 03478 shall be smitten 05062 before 06440 the enemy 0341, because they have sinned 02398 against thee, and shall turn again 07725 to thee, and confess 03034 thy name 08034, and pray 06419, and make supplication 02603 to thee in this house 01004: in: or, toward
34 Then hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064, and forgive 05545 the sin 02403 of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, and bring them again 07725 to the land 0127 which thou gavest 05414 to their fathers 01.
35 When heaven 08064 is shut up 06113, and there is no rain 04306, because they have sinned 02398 against thee; if they pray 06419 toward this place 04725, and confess 03034 thy name 08034, and turn 07725 from their sin 02403, when thou afflictest 06031 them:
36 Then hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064, and forgive 05545 the sin 02403 of thy servants 05650, and of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, that thou mayest teach 03384 them the good 02896 way 01870 in which they should walk 03212, and give 05414 rain 04306 upon thy land 0776, which thou hast given 05414 to thy people 05971 for an inheritance 05159.
37 If there shall be in the land 0776 famine 07458, if there shall be pestilence 01698, blighting 07711, mildew 03420, locust 0697, or if there shall be caterpiller 02625; if their enemy 0341 shall besiege 06887 them in the land 0776 of their cities 08179; whatever plague 05061, whatever sickness 04245 there shall be; cities: or, jurisdiction
38 Whatever prayer 08605 and supplication 08467 shall be made by any man 0120, or by all thy people 05971 Israel 03478, who shall know 03045 every man 0376 the plague 05061 of his own heart 03824, and spread forth 06566 his hands 03709 toward this house 01004:
39 Then hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 place 04349, and forgive 05545, and do 06213, and give 05414 to every man 0376 according to his ways 01870, whose heart 03824 thou knowest 03045; (for thou, even thou only, knowest 03045 the hearts 03824 of all the children 01121 of men 0120;)
40 That they may fear 03372 thee all the days 03117 that they live 02416 in 06440 the land 0127 which thou gavest 05414 to our fathers 01.
41 Moreover concerning a stranger 05237, that is not of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, but cometh out 0935 of a far 07350 country 0776 for 04616 thy name’s 08034 sake;
42 (For they shall hear 08085 of thy great 01419 name 08034, and of thy strong 02389 hand 03027, and of thy outstretched 05186 arm 02220;) when he shall come 0935 and pray 06419 toward this house 01004;
43 Hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 place 04349, and do 06213 according to all that the stranger 05237 calleth 07121 to thee for: that all people 05971 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 thy name 08034, to fear 03372 thee, as do thy people 05971 Israel 03478; and that they may know 03045 that this house 01004, which I have built 01129, is called 07121 by thy name 08034. this…: Heb. thy name is called upon this house
44 If thy people 05971 go out 03318 to battle 04421 against their enemy 0341, wherever 01870 thou shalt send 07971 them, and shall pray 06419 to the LORD 03068 toward 01870 the city 05892 which thou hast chosen 0977, and toward the house 01004 that I have built 01129 for thy name 08034: toward the city: Heb. the way of the city
45 Then hear 08085 thou in heaven 08064 their prayer 08605 and their supplication 08467, and maintain 06213 their cause 04941. cause: or, right
46 If they shall sin 02398 against thee, (for there is no man 0120 that sinneth 02398 not,) and thou shalt be angry 0599 with them, and deliver 05414 them to the enemy 0341, so that they carry them away 07617 captives 07617 to 06440 the land 0776 of the enemy 0341, far 07350 or near 07138;
47 Yet if they shall take it to their hearts 07725 in the land 0776 where they were carried captives 07617, and repent 07725, 3820, and make supplication 02603 to thee in the land 0776 of them that carried them captives 07617, saying 0559, We have sinned 02398, and have done perversely 05753, we have committed wickedness 07561; bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart
48 And so return 07725 to thee with all their heart 03824, and with all their soul 05315, in the land 0776 of their enemies 0341, who led them away captive 07617, and pray 06419 to thee toward 01870 their land 0776, which thou gavest 05414 to their fathers 01, the city 05892 which thou hast chosen 0977, and the house 01004 which I have built 01129 for thy name 08034:
49 Then hear 08085 thou their prayer 08605 and their supplication 08467 in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 place 04349, and maintain 06213 their cause 04941, cause: or, right
50 And forgive 05545 thy people 05971 that have sinned 02398 against thee, and all their transgressions 06588 in which they have transgressed 06586 against thee, and give 05414 them compassion 07356 before 06440 them who carried them captive 07617, that they may have compassion 07355 on them:
51 For they are thy people 05971, and thy inheritance 05159, which thou broughtest 03318 out of Egypt 04714, from the midst 08432 of the furnace 03564 of iron 01270:
52 That thy eyes 05869 may be open 06605 to the supplication 08467 of thy servant 05650, and to the supplication 08467 of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, to hearken 08085 to them in all their supplications 07121 to thee.
53 For thou didst separate 0914 them from among all the people 05971 of the earth 0776, to be thy inheritance 05159, as thou didst speak 01696 by the hand 03027 of Moses 04872 thy servant 05650, when thou broughtest 03318 our fathers 01 out of Egypt 04714, O Lord 0136 GOD 03069.
54 And it was so, that when Solomon 08010 had finished 03615 praying 06419 all this prayer 08605 and supplication 08467 to the LORD 03068, he arose 06965 from before 06440 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068, from kneeling 03766 on his knees 01290 with his hands 03709 spread up 06566 to heaven 08064.
55 And he stood 05975, and blessed 01288 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 with a loud 01419 voice 06963, saying 0559,
56 Blessed 01288 be the LORD 03068, that hath given 05414 rest 04496 to his people 05971 Israel 03478, according to all that he promised 01696: there hath not failed 05307 one 0259 word 01697 of all his good 02896 promise 01697, which he promised 01696 by the hand 03027 of Moses 04872 his servant 05650. failed: Heb. fallen
57 The LORD 03068 our God 0430 be with us, as he was with our fathers 01: let him not leave 05800 us, nor forsake 05203 us:
58 That he may incline 05186 our hearts 03824 to him, to walk 03212 in all his ways 01870, and to keep 08104 his commandments 04687, and his statutes 02706, and his judgments 04941, which he commanded 06680 our fathers 01.
59 And let these my words 01697, with which I have made supplication 02603 before 06440 the LORD 03068, be near 07138 to the LORD 03068 our God 0430 day 03119 and night 03915, that he may maintain 06213 the cause 04941 of his servant 05650, and the cause 04941 of his people 05971 Israel 03478 at all times 03117, 3117, as the matter 01697 shall require: at all…: Heb. the thing of a day in his day
60 That all the people 05971 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 that the LORD 03068 is God 0430, and that there is none else.
61 Let your heart 03824 therefore be perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 our God 0430, to walk 03212 in his statutes 02706, and to keep 08104 his commandments 04687, as at this day 03117.
62 And the king 04428, and all Israel 03478 with him, offered 02076 sacrifice 02077 before 06440 the LORD 03068.
63 And Solomon 08010 offered 02076 a sacrifice 02077 of peace offerings 08002, which he offered 02076 to the LORD 03068, two 08147 and twenty 06242 thousand 0505 oxen 01241, and an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 thousand 0505 sheep 06629. So the king 04428 and all the children 01121 of Israel 03478 dedicated 02596 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
64 The same day 03117 did the king 04428 consecrate 06942 the middle 08432 of the court 02691 that was before 06440 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: for there he offered 06213 burnt offerings 05930, and meat offerings 04503, and the fat 02459 of the peace offerings 08002: because the brasen 05178 altar 04196 that was before 06440 the LORD 03068 was too little 06996 to receive 03557 the burnt offerings 05930, and meat offerings 04503, and the fat 02459 of the peace offerings 08002.
65 And at that time 06256 Solomon 08010 held 06213 a feast 02282, and all Israel 03478 with him, a great 01419 congregation 06951, from the entrance 0935 into Hamath 02574 to the river 05158 of Egypt 04714, before 06440 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, seven 07651 days 03117 and seven 07651 days 03117, even fourteen 0702, 6240 days 03117.
66 On the eighth 08066 day 03117 he sent 07971 the people 05971 away 07971: and they blessed 01288 the king 04428, and went 03212 to their tents 0168 joyful 08056 and glad 02896 of heart 03820 for all the goodness 02896 that the LORD 03068 had done 06213 for David 01732 his servant 05650, and for Israel 03478 his people 05971. blessed: or, thanked
1 And it came to pass, when Solomon 08010 had finished 03615 the building 01129 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king’s 04428 house 01004, and all Solomon’s 08010 desire 02837 which he was pleased 02654 to perform 06213,
2 That the LORD 03068 appeared 07200 to Solomon 08010 the second time 08145, as he had appeared 07200 to him at Gibeon 01391.
3 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to him, I have heard 08085 thy prayer 08605 and thy supplication 08467, that thou hast made 02603 before 06440 me: I have hallowed 06942 this house 01004, which thou hast built 01129, to put 07760 my name 08034 there for 05704 ever 05769; and my eyes 05869 and my heart 03820 shall be there perpetually 03117.
4 And if thou wilt walk 03212 before 06440 me, as David 01732 thy father 01 walked 01980, in integrity 08537 of heart 03824, and in uprightness 03476, to do 06213 according to all that I have commanded 06680 thee, and wilt keep 08104 my statutes 02706 and my judgments 04941:
5 Then I will establish 06965 the throne 03678 of thy kingdom 04467 upon Israel 03478 for ever 05769, as I promised 01696 to David 01732 thy father 01, saying 0559, There shall not fail 03772 thee a man 0376 upon the throne 03678 of Israel 03478.
6 But if ye shall at all 07725 turn 07725 from following 0310 me, ye or your children 01121, and will not keep 08104 my commandments 04687 and my statutes 02708 which I have set 05414 before 06440 you, but go 01980 and serve 05647 other 0312 gods 0430, and worship 07812 them:
7 Then will I cut off 03772 Israel 03478 from 06440 the land 0127 which I have given 05414 them; and this house 01004, which I have hallowed 06942 for my name 08034, will I cast out 07971 of my sight 06440; and Israel 03478 shall be a proverb 04912 and a byword 08148 among all people 05971:
8 And at this house 01004, which is high 05945, every one that passeth 05674 by it shall be astonished 08074, and shall hiss 08319; and they shall say 0559, Why hath the LORD 03068 done 06213 thus to this land 0776, and to this house 01004?
9 And they shall answer 0559, Because they forsook 05800 the LORD 03068 their God 0430, who brought forth 03318 their fathers 01 from the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and have taken hold 02388 upon other 0312 gods 0430, and have worshipped 07812 them, and served 05647 them: therefore hath the LORD 03068 brought 0935 upon them all this evil 07451.
10 And it came to pass at the end 07097 of twenty 06242 years 08141, when Solomon 08010 had built 01129 the two 08147 houses 01004, the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king’s 04428 house 01004,
11 (Now Hiram 02438 the king 04428 of Tyre 06865 had furnished 05375 Solomon 08010 with cedar 0730 trees 06086 and fir 01265 trees 06086, and with gold 02091, according to all his desire 02656,) that then 0227 king 04428 Solomon 08010 gave 05414 Hiram 02438 twenty 06242 cities 05892 in the land 0776 of Galilee 01551.
12 And Hiram 02438 came out 03318 from Tyre 06865 to see 07200 the cities 05892 which Solomon 08010 had given 05414 him; and they pleased 03474, 5869 him not. pleased…: Heb. were not right in his eyes
13 And he said 0559, What cities 05892 are these which thou hast given 05414 me, my brother 0251? And he called 07121 them the land 0776 of Cabul 03521 to this day 03117. Cabul: that is, displeasing, or, dirty
14 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 to the king 04428 one hundred and twenty 03967, 6242 talents 03603 of gold 02091.
15 And this is the reason 01697 of the forced labour 04522 which king 04428 Solomon 08010 raised 05927; to build 01129 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and his own house 01004, and Millo 04407, and the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389, and Hazor 02674, and Megiddo 04023, and Gezer 01507.
16 For Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 had gone up 05927, and taken 03920 Gezer 01507, and burnt 08313 it with fire 0784, and slain 02026 the Canaanites 03669 that dwelt 03427 in the city 05892, and given 05414 it for a present 07964 to his daughter 01323, Solomon’s 08010 wife 0802.
17 And Solomon 08010 built 01129 Gezer 01507, and Bethhoron 01032 the lower 08481,
18 And Baalath 01191, and Tadmor 08412 in the wilderness 04057, in the land 0776,
19 And all the store 04543 cities 05892 that Solomon 08010 had, and cities 05892 for his chariots 07393, and cities 05892 for his horsemen 06571, and that 02837 which Solomon 08010 desired 02836 to build 01129 in Jerusalem 03389, and in Lebanon 03844, and in all the land 0776 of his dominion 04475. that which…: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired
20 And all the people 05971 that were left 03498 of the Amorites 0567, Hittites 02850, Perizzites 06522, Hivites 02340, and Jebusites 02983, who were not of the children 01121 of Israel 03478,
21 Their children 01121 that were left 03498 after 0310 them in the land 0776, whom the children 01121 of Israel 03478 also were not able 03201 utterly to destroy 02763, upon those did Solomon 08010 raise 05927 forced labour 04522, 5647 to this day 03117.
22 But of the children 01121 of Israel 03478 did Solomon 08010 make 05414 no slaves 05650: but they were men 0582 of war 04421, and his servants 05650, and his princes 08269, and his captains 07991, and rulers 08269 of his chariots 07393, and his horsemen 06571.
23 These were the chief 08269 of the officers 05324 that were over Solomon’s 08010 work 04399, five 02568 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572, who bore rule 07287 over the people 05971 that wrought 06213 in the work 04399.
24 But Pharaoh’s 06547 daughter 01323 came up 05927 from the city 05892 of David 01732 to her house 01004 which Solomon had built 01129 for her: then he built 01129 Millo 04407.
25 And three 07969 times 06471 in a year 08141 did Solomon 08010 offer 05927 burnt offerings 05930 and peace offerings 08002 upon the altar 04196 which he built 01129 to the LORD 03068, and he burnt incense 06999 upon the altar 04196 that was before 06440 the LORD 03068. So he finished 07999 the house 01004. upon the altar that: Heb. upon it, etc
26 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 made 06213 a navy of ships 0590 in Eziongeber 06100, which is beside Eloth 0359, on the shore 08193 of the Red 05488 sea 03220, in the land 0776 of Edom 0123. shore: Heb. lip
27 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 in the navy 0590 his servants 05650, sailors 0582, 591 that had knowledge 03045 of the sea 03220, with the servants 05650 of Solomon 08010.
28 And they came 0935 to Ophir 0211, and obtained 03947 from there gold 02091, four 0702 hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 talents 03603, and brought 0935 it to king 04428 Solomon 08010.
1 And when the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 heard 08085 of the fame 08088 of Solomon 08010 concerning the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, she came 0935 to try 05254 him with hard questions 02420.
2 And she came 0935 to Jerusalem 03389 with a very 03966 great 03515 train 02428, with camels 01581 that bore 05375 spices 01314, and very 03966 much 07227 gold 02091, and precious 03368 stones 068: and when she had come 0935 to Solomon 08010, she talked 01696 with him of all that was in her heart 03824. questions: Heb. words
3 And Solomon 08010 answered 05046 all her questions 01697: there was not any thing 01697 hid 05956 from the king 04428, which he told 05046 her not. questions: Heb. words
4 And when the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 had seen 07200 all Solomon’s 08010 wisdom 02451, and the house 01004 that he had built 01129,
5 And the food 03978 of his table 07979, and the sitting 04186 of his servants 05650, and the attendance 04612 of his ministers 08334, and their apparel 04403, and his cupbearers 08248, and his ascent 05930 by which he went up 05927 to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068; there was no more spirit 07307 in her. attendance: Heb. standingcupbearers: or, butlers
6 And she said 0559 to the king 04428, It was a true 0571 report 01697 that I heard 08085 in my own land 0776 of thy acts 01697 and of thy wisdom 02451. report: Heb. wordacts: or, sayings
7 However I believed 0539 not the words 01697, until I came 0935, and my eyes 05869 had seen 07200 it: and, behold, the half 02677 was not told 05046 me: thy wisdom 02451 and prosperity 02896 exceed 03254 the fame 08052 which I heard 08085. thy…: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to
8 Happy 0835 are thy men 0582, happy 0835 are these thy servants 05650, who stand 05975 continually 08548 before 06440 thee, and that hear 08085 thy wisdom 02451.
9 Blessed 01288 be the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, who delighted 02654 in thee, to set 05414 thee on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478: because the LORD 03068 loved 0160 Israel 03478 for ever 05769, therefore he made 07760 thee king 04428, to do 06213 judgment 04941 and justice 06666.
10 And she gave 05414 the king 04428 an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 talents 03603 of gold 02091, and of spices 01314 a very 03966 great quantity 07235, and precious 03368 stones 068: there came 0935 no more such 01931 abundance 07230 of spices 01314 as these which the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 gave 05414 to king 04428 Solomon 08010.
11 And the navy 0590 also of Hiram 02438, that brought 05375 gold 02091 from Ophir 0211, brought in 0935 from Ophir 0211 great 03966 plenty 07235 of almug 0484 trees 06086, and precious 03368 stones 068. almug…: also called, algum trees
12 And the king 04428 made 06213 of the almug 0484 trees 06086 pillars 04552 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and for the king’s 04428 house 01004, harps 03658 also and psalteries 05035 for singers 07891: there came 0935 no such almug 0484 trees 06086, nor have they been seen 07200 to this day 03117. pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop
13 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 gave 05414 to the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 all her desire 02656, whatever she asked 07592, besides that which Solomon 08010 gave 05414 her of his royal 04428 bounty 03027. So she turned 06437 and went 03212 to her own country 0776, she and her servants 05650. of his…: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon
14 Now the weight 04948 of gold 02091 that came 0935 to Solomon 08010 in one 0259 year 08141 was six 08337 hundred 03967 and sixty 08346 and six 08337 talents 03603 of gold 02091,
15 Besides what he had of the merchants 0582, 8446, and of the trade 04536 of the spice merchants 07402, and of all the kings 04428 of Arabia 06153, and of the governors 06346 of the country 0776. governors: or, captains
16 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 made 06213 two hundred 03967 shields 06793 of beaten 07820 gold 02091: six 08337 hundred 03967 shekels of gold 02091 went 05927 to one 0259 shield 06793.
17 And he made three 07969 hundred 03967 shields 04043 of beaten 07820 gold 02091; three 07969 pounds 04488 of gold 02091 went 05927 to one 0259 shield 04043: and the king 04428 put 05414 them in the house 01004 of the forest 03293 of Lebanon 03844.
18 Moreover the king 04428 made 06213 a great 01419 throne 03678 of ivory 08127, and overlaid 06823 it with the best 06338 gold 02091.
19 The throne 03678 had six 08337 steps 04609, and the top 07218 of the throne 03678 was round 05696 behind 0310: and there were arms 03027 on either side on the place 04725 of the seat 07675, and two 08147 lions 0738 stood 05975 beside 0681 the arms 03027. behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereofstays: Heb. hands
20 And twelve 08147, 6240 lions 0738 stood 05975 there on the one side and on the other upon the six 08337 steps 04609: there was not the like 03651 made 06213 in any kingdom 04467. the like: Heb. so
21 And all king 04428 Solomon’s 08010 drinking 04945 vessels 03627 were of gold 02091, and all the vessels 03627 of the house 01004 of the forest 03293 of Lebanon 03844 were of pure 05462 gold 02091; none were of silver 03701: it was not considered as any thing 03972, 2803 in the days 03117 of Solomon 08010. none…: or, there was no silver in them
22 For the king 04428 had at sea 03220 a navy 0590 of Tharshish 08659 with the navy 0590 of Hiram 02438: once 0259 in three 07969 years 08141 came 0935 the navy 0590 of Tharshish 08659, bringing 05375 gold 02091, and silver 03701, ivory 08143, and apes 06971, and peacocks 08500. ivory: or, elephants’ teeth
23 So king 04428 Solomon 08010 exceeded 01431 all the kings 04428 of the earth 0776 for riches 06239 and for wisdom 02451.
24 And all the earth 0776 consulted 01245, 6440 Solomon 08010, to hear 08085 his wisdom 02451, which God 0430 had put 05414 in his heart 03820. sought to: Heb. sought the face of
25 And they brought 0935 every man 0376 his present 04503, vessels 03627 of silver 03701, and vessels 03627 of gold 02091, and garments 08008, and armour 05402, and spices 01314, horses 05483, and mules 06505, a rate 01697 year 08141 by year 08141.
26 And Solomon 08010 gathered 0622 chariots 07393 and horsemen 06571: and he had a thousand 0505 and four 0702 hundred 03967 chariots 07393, and twelve 08147, 6240 thousand 0505 horsemen 06571, whom he bestowed 05148 in the cities 05892 for chariots 07393, and with the king 04428 at Jerusalem 03389.
27 And the king 04428 made 05414 silver 03701 to be in Jerusalem 03389 as stones 068, and cedars 0730 he made 05414 to be as the sycamore trees 08256 that are in the vale 08219, for abundance 07230. made: Heb. gave
28 And Solomon 08010 had horses 05483 brought 04161 from Egypt 04714, and linen yarn 04723: the king’s 04428 merchants 05503 received 03947 the linen yarn 04723 at a price 04242. And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon’s
29 And a chariot 04818 came up 05927 and went out 03318 of Egypt 04714 for six 08337 hundred 03967 shekels of silver 03701, and an horse 05483 for an hundred 03967 and fifty 02572: and so for all the kings 04428 of the Hittites 02850, and for the kings 04428 of Syria 0758, did they bring them out 03318 by their means 03027. by their…: Heb. by their hand
1 But king 04428 Solomon 08010 loved 0157 many 07227 foreign 05237 women 0802, in addition to the daughter 01323 of Pharaoh 06547, women of the Moabites 04125, Ammonites 05984, Edomites 0130, Zidonians 06722, and Hittites 02850; together…: or, beside
2 Of the nations 01471 concerning which the LORD 03068 said 0559 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478, Ye shall not go in 0935 to them, neither shall they come in 0935 to you: for surely 0403 they will turn away 05186 your heart 03824 after 0310 their gods 0430: Solomon 08010 held fast 01692 to these in love 0157.
3 And he had seven 07651 hundred 03967 wives 0802, princesses 08282, and three 07969 hundred 03967 concubines 06370: and his wives 0802 turned away 05186 his heart 03820.
4 For it came to pass, when 06256 Solomon 08010 was old 02209, that his wives 0802 turned away 05186 his heart 03824 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430: and his heart 03824 was not perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 his God 0430, as was the heart 03824 of David 01732 his father 01.
5 For Solomon 08010 went 03212 after 0310 Ashtoreth 06253 the goddess 0430 of the Zidonians 06722, and after 0310 Milcom 04445 the abomination 08251 of the Ammonites 05984. Milcom: also called, Molech
6 And Solomon 08010 did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and went not fully 04390 after 0310 the LORD 03068, as did David 01732 his father 01. went…: Heb. fulfilled not after
7 Then Solomon 08010 built 01129 an high place 01116 for Chemosh 03645, the abomination 08251 of Moab 04124, in the hill 02022 that is before 06440 Jerusalem 03389, and for Molech 04432, the abomination 08251 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983.
8 And likewise did 06213 he for all his foreign 05237 wives 0802, who burnt incense 06999 and sacrificed 02076 to their gods 0430.
9 And the LORD 03068 was angry 0599 with Solomon 08010, because his heart 03824 was turned 05186 from the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, who had appeared 07200 to him twice 06471,
10 And had commanded 06680 him concerning this thing 01697, that he should not go 03212 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430: but he kept 08104 not that which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680.
11 Therefore the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Solomon 08010, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept 08104 my covenant 01285 and my statutes 02708, which I have commanded 06680 thee, I will surely 07167 rend 07167 the kingdom 04467 away from thee, and will give 05414 it to thy servant 05650. is done…: Heb. is with thee
12 However in thy days 03117 I will not do 06213 it for David 01732 thy father’s 01 sake: but I will rend 07167 it out of the hand 03027 of thy son 01121.
13 Yet 07535 I will not rend away 07167 all the kingdom 04467; but will give 05414 one 0259 tribe 07626 to thy son 01121 for David 01732 my servant’s 05650 sake, and for Jerusalem’s 03389 sake which I have chosen 0977.
14 And the LORD 03068 stirred up 06965 an adversary 07854 to Solomon 08010, Hadad 01908 the Edomite 0130: he was of the king’s 04428 seed 02233 in Edom 0123.
15 For it came to pass, when David 01732 was in Edom 0123, and Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635 had gone up 05927 to bury 06912 the slain 02491, after he had smitten 05221 every male 02145 in Edom 0123;
16 (For six 08337 months 02320 did Joab 03097 remain 03427 there with all Israel 03478, until he had cut off 03772 every male 02145 in Edom 0123:)
17 That Hadad 0111 fled 01272, he and certain 0582 Edomites 0130 of his father’s 01 servants 05650 with him, to go 0935 into Egypt 04714; Hadad 01908 being yet a little 06996 child 05288.
18 And they arose 06965 out of Midian 04080, and came 0935 to Paran 06290: and they took 03947 men 0582 with them from Paran 06290, and they came 0935 to Egypt 04714, to Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714; who gave 05414 him an house 01004, and appointed 0559 him food 03899, and gave 05414 him land 0776.
19 And Hadad 01908 found 04672 great 03966 favour 02580 in the sight 05869 of Pharaoh 06547, so that he gave 05414 him for a wife 0802 the sister 0269 of his own wife 0802, the sister 0269 of Tahpenes 08472 the queen 01377.
20 And the sister 0269 of Tahpenes 08472 bore 03205 him Genubath 01592 his son 01121, whom Tahpenes 08472 weaned 01580 in 08432 Pharaoh’s 06547 house 01004: and Genubath 01592 was in Pharaoh’s 06547 household 01004 among 08432 the sons 01121 of Pharaoh 06547.
21 And when Hadad 01908 heard 08085 in Egypt 04714 that David 01732 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and that Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635 was dead 04191, Hadad 01908 said 0559 to Pharaoh 06547, Let me depart 07971, that I may go 03212 to my own country 0776. Let…: Heb. Send me away
22 Then Pharaoh 06547 said 0559 to him, But what hast thou lacked 02638 with me, that, behold, thou seekest 01245 to go 03212 to thy own country 0776? And he answered 0559, Nothing: only 07971 let me go 07971. Nothing: Heb. Not
23 And God 0430 stirred him up 06965 another adversary 07854, Rezon 07331 the son 01121 of Eliadah 0450, who fled 01272 from his lord 0113 Hadadezer 01909 king 04428 of Zobah 06678:
24 And he gathered 06908 men 0582 to him, and became captain 08269 over a band 01416, when David 01732 slew 02026 them of Zobah: and they went 03212 to Damascus 01834, and dwelt 03427 in it, and reigned 04427 in Damascus 01834.
25 And he was an adversary 07854 to Israel 03478 all the days 03117 of Solomon 08010, besides the mischief 07451 that Hadad 01908 did: and he abhorred 06973 Israel 03478, and reigned 04427 over Syria 0758.
26 And Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, an Ephrathite 0673 of Zereda 06868, Solomon’s 08010 servant 05650, whose mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Zeruah 06871, a widow 0490 woman 0802, even he raised 07311 his hand 03027 against the king 04428.
27 And this was the cause 01697 why he raised 07311 his hand 03027 against the king 04428: Solomon 08010 built 01129 Millo 04407, and repaired 05462 the breaches 06556 of the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01. repaired: Heb. closed
28 And the man 0376 Jeroboam 03379 was a mighty man 01368 of valour 02428: and Solomon 08010 seeing 07200 the young man 05288 that he was industrious 06213, 4399, he made him ruler 06485 over all the charge 05447 of the house 01004 of Joseph 03130. was industrious: Heb. did workcharge: Heb. burden
29 And it came to pass at that time 06256 when Jeroboam 03379 went out 03318 of Jerusalem 03389, that the prophet 05030 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888 found 04672 him in the way 01870; and he had clad 03680 himself with a new 02319 garment 08008; and they two 08147 were alone in the field 07704:
30 And Ahijah 0281 caught 08610 the new 02319 garment 08008 that was on him, and tore 07167 it in twelve 08147, 6240 pieces 07168:
31 And he said 0559 to Jeroboam 03379, Take 03947 thee ten 06235 pieces 07168: for thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, Behold, I will rend 07167 the kingdom 04467 from the hand 03027 of Solomon 08010, and will give 05414 ten 06235 tribes 07626 to thee:
32 (But he shall have one 0259 tribe 07626 for my servant 05650 David’s 01732 sake, and for Jerusalem’s 03389 sake, the city 05892 which I have chosen 0977 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478:)
33 Because they have forsaken 05800 me, and have worshipped 07812 Ashtoreth 06253 the goddess 0430 of the Zidonians 06722, Chemosh 03645 the god 0430 of the Moabites 04124, and Milcom 04445 the god 0430 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, and have not walked 01980 in my ways 01870, to do 06213 that which is right 03477 in my eyes 05869, and to keep my statutes 02708 and my judgments 04941, as did David 01732 his father 01.
34 Yet I will not take 03947 the whole kingdom 04467 out of his hand 03027: but I will make 07896 him prince 05387 all the days 03117 of his life 02416 for David 01732 my servant’s 05650 sake, whom I chose 0977, because he kept 08104 my commandments 04687 and my statutes 02708:
35 But I will take 03947 the kingdom 04410 out of his son’s 01121 hand 03027, and will give 05414 it to thee, even ten 06235 tribes 07626.
36 And to his son 01121 will I give 05414 one 0259 tribe 07626, that David 01732 my servant 05650 may have a light 05216 always 03117 before 06440 me in Jerusalem 03389, the city 05892 which I have chosen 0977 for me to put 07760 my name 08034 there. light: Heb. lamp, or, candle
37 And I will take 03947 thee, and thou shalt reign 04427 according to all that thy soul 05315 desireth 0183, and shalt be king 04428 over Israel 03478.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken 08085 to all that I command 06680 thee, and wilt walk 01980 in my ways 01870, and do 06213 right 03477 in my sight 05869, to keep 08104 my statutes 02708 and my commandments 04687, as David 01732 my servant 05650 did 06213; that I will be with thee, and build 01129 thee a sure 0539 house 01004, as I built 01129 for David 01732, and will give 05414 Israel 03478 to thee.
39 And I will for this afflict 06031 the seed 02233 of David 01732, but not for ever 03117.
40 Solomon 08010 sought 01245 therefore to kill 04191 Jeroboam 03379. And Jeroboam 03379 arose 06965, and fled 01272 into Egypt 04714, to Shishak 07895 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and was in Egypt 04714 until the death 04194 of Solomon 08010.
41 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Solomon 08010, and all that he did 06213, and his wisdom 02451, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the acts 01697 of Solomon 08010? acts: or, words, or, things
42 And the time 03117 that Solomon 08010 reigned 04427 in Jerusalem 03389 over all Israel 03478 was forty 0705 years 08141. time: Heb. days
43 And Solomon 08010 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Rehoboam 07346 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam
1 And Rehoboam 07346 went 03212 to Shechem 07927: for all Israel 03478 had come 0935 to Shechem 07927 to make him king 04427.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who was yet in Egypt 04714, heard 08085 of it, (for he had fled 01272 from the presence 06440 of king 04428 Solomon 08010, and Jeroboam 03379 dwelt 03427 in Egypt 04714;)
3 That they sent 07971 and called 07121 him. And Jeroboam 03379 and all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 came 0935, and spoke 01696 to Rehoboam 07346, saying 0559,
4 Thy father 01 made 07185 our yoke 05923 grievous 07185: now therefore make thou the grievous 07186 service 05656 of thy father 01, and his heavy 03515 yoke 05923 which he put 05414 upon us, lighter 07043, and we will serve 05647 thee.
5 And he said 0559 to them, Depart 03212 yet for three 07969 days 03117, then come again 07725 to me. And the people 05971 departed 03212.
6 And king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 consulted 03289 with the old men 02205, that stood 05975 before 06440 Solomon 08010 his father 01 while he yet lived 02416, and said 0559, How do ye advise 03289 that I may 07725 answer 01697 this people 05971?
7 And they spoke 01696 to him, saying 0559, If thou wilt be a servant 05650 to this people 05971 this day 03117, and wilt serve 05647 them, and answer 06030 them, and speak 01696 good 02896 words 01697 to them, then they will be thy servants 05650 for ever 03117.
8 But he forsook 05800 the counsel 06098 of the old men 02205, which they had given 03289 him, and consulted 03289 with the young men 03206 that had grown up 01431 with him, and who stood 05975 before 06440 him:
9 And he said 0559 to them, What counsel give 03289 ye that we may 07725 answer 01697 this people 05971, who have spoken 01696 to me, saying 0559, Make 07043 the yoke 05923 which thy father 01 did put 05414 upon us lighter 07043?
10 And the young men 03206 that had grown up 01431 with him spoke 01696 to him, saying 0559, Thus shalt thou speak 0559 to this people 05971 who spoke 01696 to thee, saying 0559, Thy father 01 made 03513 our yoke 05923 heavy 03513, but make thou it lighter 07043 to us; thus shalt thou say 01696 to them, My little 06995 finger shall be thicker 05666 than my father’s 01 loins 04975.
11 And now though my father 01 burdened 06006 you with a heavy 03515 yoke 05923, I will add 03254 to your yoke 05923: my father 01 hath chastised 03256 you with whips 07752, but I will chastise 03256 you with scorpions 06137.
12 So Jeroboam 03379 and all the people 05971 came 0935 to Rehoboam 07346 the third 07992 day 03117, as the king 04428 had appointed 01696, saying 0559, Come to me again 07725 the third 07992 day 03117.
13 And the king 04428 answered 06030 the people 05971 roughly 07186, and forsook 05800 the old men’s 02205 counsel 06098 that they gave 03289 him; roughly: Heb. hardly
14 And spoke 01696 to them after the counsel 06098 of the young men 03206, saying 0559, My father 01 made 03513 your yoke 05923 heavy 03513, and I will add 03254 to your yoke 05923: my father 01 also chastised 03256 you with whips 07752, but I will chastise 03256 you with scorpions 06137.
15 Therefore the king 04428 hearkened 08085 not to the people 05971; for the cause 05438 was from the LORD 03068, that he might perform 06965 his saying 01697, which the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 by 03027 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888 to Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028.
16 So 07725 when all Israel 03478 saw 07200 that the king 04428 hearkened 08085 not to them, the people 05971 answered 01697 the king 04428, saying 0559, What portion 02506 have we in David 01732? neither have we inheritance 05159 in the son 01121 of Jesse 03448: to your tents 0168, O Israel 03478: now see 07200 to thy own house 01004, David 01732. So Israel 03478 departed 03212 to their tents 0168.
17 But as for the children 01121 of Israel 03478 who dwelt 03427 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, Rehoboam 07346 reigned 04427 over them.
18 Then king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 sent 07971 Adoram 0151, who was over the forced labour 04522; and all Israel 03478 stoned 07275 him with stones 068, that he died 04191. Therefore king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 made speed 0553 to enter 05927 his chariot 04818, to flee 05127 to Jerusalem 03389. made…: Heb. strengthened himself
19 So Israel 03478 rebelled 06586 against the house 01004 of David 01732 to this day 03117. rebelled: or, fell away
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel 03478 heard 08085 that Jeroboam 03379 had come again 07725, that they sent 07971 and called 07121 him to the congregation 05712, and made him king 04427 over all Israel 03478: there was none that followed 0310 the house 01004 of David 01732, but 02108 the tribe 07626 of Judah 03063 only.
21 And when Rehoboam 07346 had come 0935 to Jerusalem 03389, he assembled 06950 all the house 01004 of Judah 03063, with the tribe 07626 of Benjamin 01144, an hundred 03967 and eighty 08084 thousand 0505 chosen men 0977, who were warriors 06213, 4421, to fight 03898 against the house 01004 of Israel 03478, to bring 07725 the kingdom 04410 again 07725 to Rehoboam 07346 the son 01121 of Solomon 08010.
22 But the word 01697 of God 0430 came to Shemaiah 08098 the man 0376 of God 0430, saying 0559,
23 Speak 0559 to Rehoboam 07346, the son 01121 of Solomon 08010, king 04428 of Judah 03063, and to all the house 01004 of Judah 03063 and Benjamin 01144, and to the remnant 03499 of the people 05971, saying 0559,
24 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Ye shall not go up 05927, nor fight 03898 against your brethren 0251 the children 01121 of Israel 03478: return 07725 every man 0376 to his house 01004; for this thing 01697 is 01961 from me. They hearkened 08085 therefore to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and returned 07725 to depart 03212, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
25 Then Jeroboam 03379 built 01129 Shechem 07927 in mount 02022 Ephraim 0669, and dwelt 03427 in it; and went out 03318 from there, and built 01129 Penuel 06439.
26 And Jeroboam 03379 said 0559 in his heart 03820, Now shall the kingdom 04467 return 07725 to the house 01004 of David 01732:
27 If this people 05971 go up 05927 to offer 06213 sacrifice 02077 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 at Jerusalem 03389, then shall the heart 03820 of this people 05971 turn again 07725 to their lord 0113, even to Rehoboam 07346 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and they shall kill 02026 me, and return 07725 to Rehoboam 07346 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
28 Upon which the king 04428 took counsel 03289, and made 06213 two 08147 calves 05695 of gold 02091, and said 0559 to them, It is too much 07227 for you to go up 05927 to Jerusalem 03389: behold thy gods 0430, O Israel 03478, which brought thee 05927 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
29 And he set 07760 the one 0259 in Bethel 01008, and the other 0259 he placed 05414 in Dan 01835.
30 And this thing 01697 became a sin 02403: for the people 05971 went 03212 to worship before 06440 the one 0259, even to Dan 01835.
31 And he made 06213 an house 01004 of high places 01116, and made 06213 priests 03548 of the lowest 07098 of the people 05971, who were not of the sons 01121 of Levi 03878.
32 And Jeroboam 03379 ordained 06213 a feast 02282 in the eighth 08066 month 02320, on the fifteenth 02568, 6240 day 03117 of the month 02320, like the feast 02282 that is in Judah 03063, and he offered 05927 upon the altar 04196. So did 06213 he in Bethel 01008, sacrificing 02076 to the calves 05695 that he had made 06213: and he placed 05975 in Bethel 01008 the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 which he had made 06213. offered…: or, went up to the altar, etcsacrificing: or, to sacrifice
33 So he offered 05927 upon the altar 04196 which he had made 06213 in Bethel 01008 the fifteenth 02568, 6240 day 03117 of the eighth 08066 month 02320, even in the month 02320 which he had devised 0908 of his own heart 03820; and ordained 06213 a feast 02282 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478: and he offered 05927 upon the altar 04196, and burnt incense 06999. offered…: or, went up to the altar, etcand burnt…: Heb. to burn incense
1 And, behold, there came 0935 a man 0376 of God 0430 out of Judah 03063 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 to Bethel 01008: and Jeroboam 03379 stood 05975 by the altar 04196 to burn incense 06999. burn: or, offer
2 And he cried 07121 against the altar 04196 in the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and said 0559, O altar 04196, altar 04196, thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068; Behold, a child 01121 shall be born 03205 to the house 01004 of David 01732, Josiah 02977 by name 08034; and upon thee shall he offer 02076 the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 that burn incense 06999 upon thee, and men’s 0120 bones 06106 shall be burnt 08313 upon thee.
3 And he gave 05414 a sign 04159 the same day 03117, saying 0559, This is the sign 04159 which the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696; Behold, the altar 04196 shall be split apart 07167, and the ashes 01880 that are upon it shall be poured out 08210.
4 And it came to pass, when king 04428 Jeroboam 03379 heard 08085 the saying 01697 of the man 0376 of God 0430, who had cried 07121 against the altar 04196 in Bethel 01008, that he put forth 07971 his hand 03027 from the altar 04196, saying 0559, Lay hold 08610 on him. And his hand 03027, which he put forth 07971 against him, dried up 03001, so that he could 03201 not draw it 07725 to him again.
5 The altar 04196 also was split apart 07167, and the ashes 01880 poured out 08210 from the altar 04196, according to the sign 04159 which the man 0376 of God 0430 had given 05414 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
6 And the king 04428 answered 06030 and said 0559 to the man 0376 of God 0430, Entreat 02470 now the face 06440 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and pray 06419 for me, that my hand 03027 may be restored to me again 07725. And the man 0376 of God 0430 besought 02470, 6440 the LORD 03068, and the king’s 04428 hand 03027 was restored to him again 07725, and became as it was before 07223. the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc
7 And the king 04428 said 01696 to the man 0376 of God 0430, Come 0935 home 01004 with me, and refresh 05582 thyself, and I will give 05414 thee a reward 04991.
8 And the man 0376 of God 0430 said 0559 to the king 04428, If thou wilt give 05414 me half 02677 thy house 01004, I will not go in 0935 with thee, neither will I eat 0398 bread 03899 nor drink 08354 water 04325 in this place 04725:
9 For so was it charged 06680 me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559, Eat 0398 no bread 03899, nor drink 08354 water 04325, nor turn again 07725 by the same way 01870 that thou camest 01980.
10 So he went 03212 another 0312 way 01870, and returned 07725 not by the way 01870 that he came 0935 to Bethel 01008.
11 Now there dwelt 03427 an 0259 old 02205 prophet 05030 in Bethel 01008; and his sons 01121 came 0935 and told 05608 him all the works 04639 that the man 0376 of God 0430 had done 06213 that day 03117 in Bethel 01008: the words 01697 which he had spoken 01696 to the king 04428, them they told 05608 also to their father 01.
12 And their father 01 said 01696 to them, What way 01870 went 01980 he? For his sons 01121 had seen 07200 what 0335 way 01870 the man 0376 of God 0430 went 01980, who came 0935 from Judah 03063.
13 And he said 0559 to his sons 01121, Saddle 02280 me the donkey 02543. So they saddled 02280 him the donkey 02543: and he rode 07392 on it,
14 And went 03212 after 0310 the man 0376 of God 0430, and found 04672 him sitting 03427 under an oak 0424: and he said 0559 to him, Art thou the man 0376 of God 0430 that camest 0935 from Judah 03063? And he said 0559, I am.
15 Then he said 0559 to him, Come 03212 home 01004 with me, and eat 0398 bread 03899.
16 And he said 0559, I may 03201 not return 07725 with thee, nor go in 0935 with thee: neither will I eat 0398 bread 03899 nor drink 08354 water 04325 with thee in this place 04725:
17 For it was said 01697 to me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, Thou shalt eat 0398 no bread 03899 nor drink 08354 water 04325 there, nor turn again 07725 to go 03212 by the way 01870 that thou camest 01980. it…: Heb. a word was
18 He said 0559 to him, I am a prophet 05030 also as thou art; and an angel 04397 spoke 01696 to me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559, Bring him back 07725 with thee into thy house 01004, that he may eat 0398 bread 03899 and drink 08354 water 04325. But he lied 03584 to him.
19 So he went back 07725 with him, and ate 0398 bread 03899 in his house 01004, and drank 08354 water 04325.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat 03427 at the table 07979, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to the prophet 05030 that brought him back 07725:
21 And he cried 07121 to the man 0376 of God 0430 that came 0935 from Judah 03063, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Forasmuch as 03282 thou hast disobeyed 04784 the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068, and hast not kept 08104 the commandment 04687 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 commanded 06680 thee,
22 But hast returned 07725, and hast eaten 0398 bread 03899 and drunk 08354 water 04325 in the place 04725, of which the LORD said 01696 to thee, Eat 0398 no bread 03899, and drink 08354 no water 04325; thy body 05038 shall not come 0935 to the sepulchre 06913 of thy fathers 01.
23 And it came to pass, after 0310 he had eaten 0398 bread 03899, and after 0310 he had drunk 08354, that he saddled 02280 for him the donkey 02543, that is, for the prophet 05030 whom he had brought back 07725.
24 And when he had gone 03212, a lion 0738 met 04672 him by the way 01870, and slew 04191 him: and his body 05038 was cast 07993 in the way 01870, and the donkey 02543 stood 05975 by 0681 it, the lion 0738 also stood 05975 by the body 05038.
25 And, behold, men 0582 passed by 05674, and saw 07200 the body 05038 cast 07993 in the way 01870, and the lion 0738 standing 05975 by 0681 the body 05038: and they came 0935 and told 01696 it in the city 05892 where the old 02205 prophet 05030 dwelt 03427.
26 And when the prophet 05030 that brought him back 07725 from the way 01870 heard 08085 of it, he said 0559, It is the man 0376 of God 0430, who was disobedient 04784 to the word 06310 of the LORD 03068: therefore the LORD 03068 hath delivered 05414 him to the lion 0738, which hath torn 07665 him, and slain 04191 him, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 to him. torn: Heb. broken
27 And he spoke 01696 to his sons 01121, saying 0559, Saddle 02280 me the donkey 02543. And they saddled 02280 him.
28 And he went 03212 and found 04672 his body 05038 cast 07993 in the way 01870, and the donkey 02543 and the lion 0738 standing 05975 by 0681 the body 05038: the lion 0738 had not eaten 0398 the body 05038, nor torn 07665 the donkey 02543. torn: Heb. broken
29 And the prophet 05030 took up 05375 the body 05038 of the man 0376 of God 0430, and laid 03240 it upon the donkey 02543, and brought it back 07725: and the old 02205 prophet 05030 came 0935 to the city 05892, to mourn 05594 and to bury 06912 him.
30 And he laid 03240 his body 05038 in his own grave 06913; and they mourned 05594 over him, saying, Alas 01945, my brother 0251!
31 And it came to pass, after 0310 he had buried 06912 him, that he spoke 0559 to his sons 01121, saying 0559, When I am dead 04191, then bury 06912 me in the sepulchre 06913 in which the man 0376 of God 0430 is buried 06912; lay 03240 my bones 06106 beside 0681 his bones 06106:
32 For the saying 01697 which he cried 07121 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 against the altar 04196 in Bethel 01008, and against all the houses 01004 of the high places 01116 which are in the cities 05892 of Samaria 08111, shall surely come to pass.
33 After 0310 this thing 01697 Jeroboam 03379 returned 07725 not from his evil 07451 way 01870, but made 06213 again 07725 of the lowest 07098 of the people 05971 priests 03548 of the high places 01116: whoever would 02655, he consecrated 04390, 3027 him, and he became one of the priests 03548 of the high places 01116. made…: Heb. returned and madeconsecrated…: Heb. filled his hand
34 And this thing 01697 became sin 02403 to the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, even to cut it off 03582, and to destroy 08045 it from the face 06440 of the earth 0127.
1 At that time 06256 Abijah 029 the son 01121 of Jeroboam 03379 fell sick 02470.
2 And Jeroboam 03379 said 0559 to his wife 0802, Arise 06965, I pray thee, and disguise 08138 thyself, that thou mayest not be known 03045 to be the wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379; and go 01980 to Shiloh 07887: behold, there is Ahijah 0281 the prophet 05030, who told 01696 me that I should be king 04428 over this people 05971.
3 And take 03947 with thee 03027 ten 06235 loaves 03899, and cakes 05350, and a cruse 01228 of honey 01706, and go 0935 to him: he shall tell 05046 thee what shall become of the child 05288. with…: Heb. in thine handcracknels: or, cakescruse: or, bottle
4 And Jeroboam’s 03379 wife 0802 did so 06213, and arose 06965, and went 03212 to Shiloh 07887, and came 0935 to the house 01004 of Ahijah 0281. But Ahijah 0281 could 03201 not see 07200; for his eyes 05869 were dim 06965 by reason of his age 07869. were…: Heb. stood for his hoariness
5 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Ahijah 0281, Behold, the wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379 cometh 0935 to ask 01875 a thing 01697 of thee for her son 01121; for he is sick 02470: thus 02090 and thus shalt thou say 01696 to her: for it shall be, when she cometh in 0935, that she shall pretend to be another 05234 woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah 0281 heard 08085 the sound 06963 of her feet 07272, as she came in 0935 at the door 06607, that he said 0559, Come in 0935, thou wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379; why pretendest thou to be another 05234? for I am sent 07971 to thee with heavy 07186 tidings. heavy: Heb. hard
7 Go 03212, tell 0559 Jeroboam 03379, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Forasmuch as 03282 I exalted 07311 thee from among 08432 the people 05971, and made 05414 thee prince 05057 over my people 05971 Israel 03478,
8 And tore 07167 the kingdom 04467 away 07167 from the house 01004 of David 01732, and gave 05414 it to thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant 05650 David 01732, who kept 08104 my commandments 04687, and who followed 01980, 310 me with all his heart 03824, to do 06213 that only which was right 03477 in my eyes 05869;
9 But hast done 06213 evil 07489 above all that were before 06440 thee: for thou hast gone 03212 and made 06213 thee other 0312 gods 0430, and molten images 04541, to provoke me to anger 03707, and hast cast 07993 me behind 0310 thy back 01458:
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring 0935 evil 07451 upon the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, and will cut off 03772 from Jeroboam 03379 the males 08366, 7023, and him that is shut up 06113 and left 05800 in Israel 03478, and will take away 01197 the remnant 0310 of the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, as a man taketh away 01197 dung 01557, till it is all gone 08552.
11 Him that dieth 04191 of Jeroboam 03379 in the city 05892 shall the dogs 03611 eat 0398; and him that dieth 04191 in the field 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398: for the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 it.
12 Arise 06965 thou therefore, depart 03212 to thy own house 01004: and when thy feet 07272 enter 0935 into the city 05892, the child 03206 shall die 04191.
13 And all Israel 03478 shall mourn 05594 for him, and bury 06912 him: for he only of Jeroboam 03379 shall come 0935 to the grave 06913, because in him there is found 04672 some good 02896 thing 01697 toward the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 in the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379.
14 Moreover the LORD 03068 shall raise him up 06965 a king 04428 over Israel 03478, who shall cut off 03772 the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 that day 03117: but what? even now.
15 For the LORD 03068 shall smite 05221 Israel 03478, as a reed 07070 is shaken 05110 in the water 04325, and he shall root up 05428 Israel 03478 out of this good 02896 land 0127, which he gave 05414 to their fathers 01, and shall scatter 02219 them beyond 05676 the river 05104, because they have made 06213 their idols 0842, provoking the LORD 03068 to anger 03707.
16 And he shall give up 05414 Israel 03478 because 01558 of the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379, who sinned 02398, and who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
17 And Jeroboam’s 03379 wife 0802 arose 06965, and departed 03212, and came 0935 to Tirzah 08656: and when she came 0935 to the threshold 05592 of the door 01004, the child 05288 died 04191;
18 And they buried 06912 him; and all Israel 03478 mourned 05594 for him, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by the hand 03027 of his servant 05650 Ahijah 0281 the prophet 05030.
19 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jeroboam 03379, how he warred 03898, and how he reigned 04427, behold, they are written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
20 And the days 03117 which Jeroboam 03379 reigned 04427 were two 08147 and twenty 06242 years 08141: and he slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and Nadab 05070 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. slept: Heb. lay down
21 And Rehoboam 07346 the son 01121 of Solomon 08010 reigned 04427 in Judah 03063. Rehoboam 07346 was forty 0705 and one 0259 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 seventeen 07651, 6240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389, the city 05892 which the LORD 03068 chose 0977 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478, to put 07760 his name 08034 there. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Naamah 05279 an Ammonitess 05985.
22 And Judah 03063 did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and they provoked him to jealousy 07065 with their sins 02403 which they had committed 02398, above all that their fathers 01 had done 06213.
23 For they also built 01129 for themselves high places 01116, and images 04676, and groves 0842, on every high 01364 hill 01389, and under every green 07488 tree 06086. images: or, standing images, or, statues
24 And there were also sodomites 06945 in the land 0776: and they did 06213 according to all the abominations 08441 of the nations 01471 which the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth 02549 year 08141 of king 04428 Rehoboam 07346, that Shishak 07895 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 came up 05927 against Jerusalem 03389:
26 And he took away 03947 the treasures 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the treasures 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004; he even took away 03947 all: and he took away 03947 all the shields 04043 of gold 02091 which Solomon 08010 had made 06213.
27 And king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 made 06213 in their stead brasen 05178 shields 04043, and committed 06485 them to the hands 03027 of the officers 08269 of the guard 07323, who kept 08104 the door 06607 of the king’s 04428 house 01004. guard: Heb. runners
28 And it was so, when 01767 the king 04428 went 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, that the guard 07323 bore 05375 them, and brought them back 07725 into the guard 07323 chamber 08372.
29 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Rehoboam 07346, and all that he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
30 And there was war 04421 between Rehoboam 07346 and Jeroboam 03379 all their days 03117.
31 And Rehoboam 07346 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Naamah 05279 an Ammonitess 05985. And Abijam 038 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Abijam: also called, Abijah: Gr. Abia
1 Now in the eighteenth 08083, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028 reigned 04427 Abijam 038 over Judah 03063.
2 Three 07969 years 08141 he reigned 04427 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Maachah 04601, the daughter 01323 of Abishalom 053. Maachah…: also called, Michaiah the daughter of UrielAbishalom: also called, Absalom
3 And he walked 03212 in all the sins 02403 of his father 01, which he had done 06213 before 06440 him: and his heart 03824 was not perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 his God 0430, as the heart 03824 of David 01732 his father 01.
4 Nevertheless for David’s 01732 sake the LORD 03068 his God 0430 gave 05414 him a lamp 05216 in Jerusalem 03389, to set up 06965 his son 01121 after 0310 him, and to establish 05975 Jerusalem 03389: lamp: or, candle
5 Because David 01732 did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, and turned not aside 05493 from any thing that he commanded 06680 him all the days 03117 of his life 02416, except only in the matter 01697 of Uriah 0223 the Hittite 02850.
6 And there was war 04421 between Rehoboam 07346 and Jeroboam 03379 all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
7 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Abijam 038, and all that he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063? And there was war 04421 between Abijam 038 and Jeroboam 03379.
8 And Abijam 038 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and they buried 06912 him in the city 05892 of David 01732: and Asa 0609 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
9 And in the twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Jeroboam 03379 king 04428 of Israel 03478 reigned 04427 Asa 0609 over Judah 03063.
10 And forty 0705 and one 0259 years 08141 reigned 04427 he in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Maachah 04601, the daughter 01323 of Abishalom 053. mother’s: that is, grandmother’s
11 And Asa 0609 did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, as did David 01732 his father 01.
12 And he banished 05674 the sodomites 06945 from the land 0776, and removed 05493 all the idols 01544 that his fathers 01 had made 06213.
13 And also Maachah 04601 his mother 0517, even her he removed 05493 from being queen 01377, because she had made 06213 an idol 04656 in a grove 0842; and Asa 0609 destroyed 03772 her idol 04656, and burnt 08313 it by the brook 05158 Kidron 06939. destroyed: Heb. cut off
14 But the high places 01116 were not removed 05493: nevertheless Asa’s 0609 heart 03824 was perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 all his days 03117.
15 And he brought 0935 the things 06944 which his father 01 had dedicated 06944, and the things which himself had dedicated 06944, into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, silver 03701, and gold 02091, and vessels 03627. things: Heb. holy
16 And there was war 04421 between Asa 0609 and Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 all their days 03117.
17 And Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 went up 05927 against Judah 03063, and built 01129 Ramah 07414, that he might not allow 05414 any to go out 03318 or come in 0935 to Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
18 Then Asa 0609 took 03947 all the silver 03701 and the gold 02091 that were left 03498 in the treasuries 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the treasures 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, and delivered 05414 them into the hand 03027 of his servants 05650: and king 04428 Asa 0609 sent 07971 them to Benhadad 01130, the son 01121 of Tabrimon 02886, the son 01121 of Hezion 02383, king 04428 of Syria 0758, that dwelt 03427 at Damascus 01834, saying 0559,
19 There is a league 01285 between me and thee, and between my father 01 and thy father 01: behold, I have sent 07971 to thee a present 07810 of silver 03701 and gold 02091; come 03212 and break 06565 thy league 01285 with Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478, that he may depart 05927 from me. depart: Heb. go up
20 So Benhadad 01130 hearkened 08085 to king 04428 Asa 0609, and sent 07971 the captains 08269 of the armies 02428 which he had against the cities 05892 of Israel 03478, and smote 05221 Ijon 05859, and Dan 01835, and Abelbethmaachah 062, and all Cinneroth 03672, with all the land 0776 of Naphtali 05321.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha 01201 heard 08085 of it, that he stopped 02308 building 01129 Ramah 07414, and dwelt 03427 in Tirzah 08656.
22 Then king 04428 Asa 0609 made a proclamation 08085 throughout all Judah 03063; none was exempted 05355: and they took 05375 away the stones 068 of Ramah 07414, and its timber 06086, with which Baasha 01201 had built it 01129; and king 04428 Asa 0609 built 01129 with them Geba 01387 of Benjamin 01144, and Mizpah 04709. exempted: Heb. free
23 The rest 03499 of all the acts 01697 of Asa 0609, and all his might 01369, and all that he did 06213, and the cities 05892 which he built 01129, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063? Nevertheless in the time 06256 of his old age 02209 he was diseased 02470 in his feet 07272.
24 And Asa 0609 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Jehoshaphat 03092 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat
25 And Nadab 05070 the son 01121 of Jeroboam 03379 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in the second 08147 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 over Israel 03478 two 08147 years 08141. began…: Heb. reigned
26 And he did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 in the way 01870 of his father 01, and in his sin 02403 which he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
27 And Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281, of the house 01004 of Issachar 03485, conspired 07194 against him; and Baasha 01201 smote 05221 him at Gibbethon 01405, which belonged to the Philistines 06430; for Nadab 05070 and all Israel 03478 laid siege 06696 to Gibbethon 01405.
28 Even in the third 07969 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 did Baasha 01201 slay 04191 him, and reigned 04427 in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned 04427, that he smote 05221 all the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379; he left 07604 not to Jeroboam 03379 any that breathed 05397, until he had destroyed 08045 him, according to the saying 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by 03027 his servant 05650 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888:
30 Because of the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 which he sinned 02398, and which he made Israel 03478 sin 02398, by his provocation 03708 with which he provoked the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707.
31 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Nadab 05070, and all that he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
32 And there was war 04421 between Asa 0609 and Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 all their days 03117.
33 In the third 07969 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281 to reign 04427 over all Israel 03478 in Tirzah 08656, twenty 06242 and four 0702 years 08141.
34 And he did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and in his sin 02403 which he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
1 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Hanani 02607 against Baasha 01201, saying 0559,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted 07311 thee from the dust 06083, and made 05414 thee prince 05057 over my people 05971 Israel 03478; and thou hast walked 03212 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and hast made my people 05971 Israel 03478 to sin 02398, to provoke me to anger 03707 with their sins 02403;
3 Behold, I will take away 01197 the posterity 0310 of Baasha 01201, and the posterity 0310 of his house 01004; and will make 05414 thy house 01004 like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028.
4 Him that dieth 04191 of Baasha 01201 in the city 05892 shall the dogs 03611 eat 0398; and him that dieth 04191 of his in the fields 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398.
5 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Baasha 01201, and what he did 06213, and his might 01369, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
6 So Baasha 01201 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in Tirzah 08656: and Elah 0425 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
7 And also by the hand 03027 of the prophet 05030 Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Hanani 02607 came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 against Baasha 01201, and against his house 01004, even for all the evil 07451 that he did 06213 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, in provoking him to anger 03707 with the work 04639 of his hands 03027, in being like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379; and because he killed 05221 him.
8 In the twenty 06242, 8141 and sixth 08337 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Elah 0425 the son 01121 of Baasha 01201 to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Tirzah 08656, two years 08141.
9 And his servant 05650 Zimri 02174, captain 08269 of half 04276 his chariots 07393, conspired 07194 against him, as he was in Tirzah 08656, drinking 08354 himself drunk 07910 in the house 01004 of Arza 0777 steward of his house 01004 in Tirzah 08656. steward…: Heb. which was over
10 And Zimri 02174 went in 0935 and smote 05221 him, and killed 04191 him, in the twenty 06242 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign 04427, as soon as he sat 03427 on his throne 03678, that he slew 05221 all the house 01004 of Baasha 01201: he left 07604 him not one male 08366, 7023, neither of his kinsman 01350, nor of his friends 07453. neither…: or, both his kinsmen and his friends
12 Thus did Zimri 02174 destroy 08045 all the house 01004 of Baasha 01201, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 against Baasha 01201 by 03027 Jehu 03058 the prophet 05030, by: Heb. by the hand of
13 For all the sins 02403 of Baasha 01201, and the sins 02403 of Elah 0425 his son 01121, by which they sinned 02398, and by which they made Israel 03478 to sin 02398, in provoking the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 with their vanities 01892.
14 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Elah 0425, and all that he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
15 In the twenty 06242, 8141 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 did Zimri 02174 reign 04427 seven 07651 days 03117 in Tirzah 08656. And the people 05971 were encamped 02583 against Gibbethon 01405, which belonged to the Philistines 06430.
16 And the people 05971 that were encamped 02583 heard 08085 it said 0559, Zimri 02174 hath conspired 07194, and hath also slain 05221 the king 04428: therefore all Israel 03478 made Omri 06018, the captain 08269 of the host 06635, king 04427 over Israel 03478 that day 03117 in the camp 04264.
17 And Omri 06018 went up 05927 from Gibbethon 01405, and all Israel 03478 with him, and they besieged 06696 Tirzah 08656.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri 02174 saw 07200 that the city 05892 was taken 03920, that he went 0935 into the palace 0759 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, and burnt 08313 the king’s 04428 house 01004 over him with fire 0784, and died 04191,
19 For his sins 02403 which he sinned 02398 in doing 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, in walking 03212 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and in his sin 02403 which he did 06213, to make Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
20 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Zimri 02174, and his treason 07195 that he wrought 07194, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
21 Then were the people 05971 of Israel 03478 divided 02505 into two parts 02677: half 02677 of the people 05971 followed 01961, 310 Tibni 08402 the son 01121 of Ginath 01527, to make him king 04427; and half 02677 followed 0310 Omri 06018.
22 But the people 05971 that followed 0310 Omri 06018 prevailed 02388 against 0854 the people 05971 that followed 0310 Tibni 08402 the son 01121 of Ginath 01527: so Tibni 08402 died 04191, and Omri 06018 reigned 04427.
23 In the thirty 07970, 8141 and first 0259 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Omri 06018 to reign 04427 over Israel 03478, twelve 08147, 6240 years 08141: six 08337 years 08141 reigned 04427 he in Tirzah 08656.
24 And he bought 07069 the hill 02022 Samaria 08111 of Shemer 08106 for two talents 03603 of silver 03701, and built 01129 on the hill 02022, and called 07121 the name 08034 of the city 05892 which he built 01129, after the name 08034 of Shemer 08106, owner 0113 of the hill 02022, Samaria 08111. Samaria: Heb. Shomeron
25 But Omri 06018 wrought 06213 evil 07451 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, and did worse 07489 than all that were before 06440 him.
26 For he walked 03212 in all the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, and in his sin 02403 which he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398, to provoke the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 with their vanities 01892.
27 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Omri 06018 which he did 06213, and his might 01369 that he showed 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
28 So Omri 06018 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in Samaria 08111: and Ahab 0256 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
29 And in the thirty 07970, 8141 and eighth 08083 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 to reign 04427 over Israel 03478: and Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 reigned 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 twenty 06242 and two 08147 years 08141.
30 And Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 above all that were before 06440 him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing 07043 for him to walk 03212 in the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, that he took 03947 for a wife 0802 Jezebel 0348 the daughter 01323 of Ethbaal 0856 king 04428 of the Zidonians 06722, and went 03212 and served 05647 Baal 01168, and worshipped 07812 him. as if…: Heb. was it a light thing, etc
32 And he built 06965 an altar 04196 for Baal 01168 in the house 01004 of Baal 01168, which he had built 01129 in Samaria 08111.
33 And Ahab 0256 made 06213 a grove 0842; and Ahab 0256 did 06213 more 03254 to provoke the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 than all the kings 04428 of Israel 03478 that were before 06440 him.
34 In his days 03117 Hiel 02419 the Bethelite 01017 built 01129 Jericho 03405: he laid the foundation 03245 of it in Abiram 048 his firstborn 01060, and set up 05324 the gates 01817 of it in his youngest 06810 son Segub 07687, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by 03027 Joshua 03091 the son 01121 of Nun 05126.
1 And Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, who was of the inhabitants 08453 of Gilead 01568, said 0559 to Ahab 0256, As the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975, there shall not be dew 02919 nor rain 04306 these years 08141, but according 06310 to my word 01697. Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias
2 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to him, saying 0559,
3 Depart 03212 from here, and turn 06437 thee eastward 06924, and hide 05641 thyself by the brook 05158 Cherith 03747, that is before 06440 Jordan 03383.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink 08354 of the brook 05158; and I have commanded 06680 the ravens 06158 to feed 03557 thee there.
5 So he went 03212 and did 06213 according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068: for he went 03212 and dwelt 03427 by the brook 05158 Cherith 03747, that is before 06440 Jordan 03383.
6 And the ravens 06158 brought 0935 him bread 03899 and flesh 01320 in the morning 01242, and bread 03899 and flesh 01320 in the evening 06153; and he drank 08354 of the brook 05158.
7 And it came to pass after 07093 a while 03117, that the brook 05158 dried up 03001, because there had been no rain 01653 in the land 0776. after…: Heb. at the end of days
8 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to him, saying 0559,
9 Arise 06965, go 03212 to Zarephath 06886, which belongeth to Zidon 06721, and dwell 03427 there: behold, I have commanded 06680 a widow 0490 woman 0802 there to sustain 03557 thee. Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta
10 So he arose 06965 and went 03212 to Zarephath 06886. And when he came 0935 to the gate 06607 of the city 05892, behold, the widow 0490 woman 0802 was there gathering 07197 sticks 06086: and he called 07121 to her, and said 0559, Bring 03947 me, I pray thee, a little 04592 water 04325 in a vessel 03627, that I may drink 08354.
11 And as she was going 03212 to bring 03947 it, he called 07121 to her, and said 0559, Bring 03947 me, I pray thee, a morsel 06595 of bread 03899 in thy hand 03027.
12 And she said 0559, As the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 liveth 02416, I have 03426 not a cake 04580, but an handful 04393, 3709 of meal 07058 in a barrel 03537, and a little 04592 oil 08081 in a cruse 06835: and, behold, I am gathering 07197 two 08147 sticks 06086, that I may go in 0935 and prepare 06213 it for me and my son 01121, that we may eat 0398 it, and die 04191.
13 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to her, Fear 03372 not; go 0935 and do 06213 as thou hast said 01697: but make 06213 me of it 08033 a little 06996 cake 05692 first 07223, and bring 03318 it to me, and afterward 0314 make 06213 for thee and for thy son 01121.
14 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, The barrel 03537 of meal 07058 shall not be used up 03615, neither shall the cruse 06835 of oil 08081 fail 02637, until the day 03117 that the LORD 03068 sendeth 05414 rain 01653 upon 06440 the earth 0127. sendeth: Heb. giveth
15 And she went 03212 and did 06213 according to the saying 01697 of Elijah 0452: and she, and he, and her house 01004, ate 0398 many days 03117. many…: or, a full year
16 And the barrel 03537 of meal 07058 was not used up 03615, neither did the cruse 06835 of oil 08081 fail 02638, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by 03027 Elijah 0452. by: Heb. by the hand of
17 And it came to pass after 0310 these things 01697, that the son 01121 of the woman 0802, the mistress 01172 of the house 01004, fell sick 02470; and his sickness 02483 was so 03966 grievous 02389, that there was no breath 05397 left 03498 in him.
18 And she said 0559 to Elijah 0452, What have I to do with thee, O thou man 0376 of God 0430? art thou come 0935 to me to call 02142 my sin 05771 to remembrance 02142, and to slay 04191 my son 01121?
19 And he said 0559 to her, Give 05414 me thy son 01121. And he took 03947 him out of her bosom 02436, and carried him up 05927 into a loft 05944, where he abode 03427, and laid 07901 him upon his own bed 04296.
20 And he cried 07121 to the LORD 03068, and said 0559, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, hast thou also brought evil 07489 upon the widow 0490 with whom I sojourn 01481, by slaying 04191 her son 01121?
21 And he stretched 04058 himself upon the child 03206 three 07969 times 06471, and cried 07121 to the LORD 03068, and said 0559, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, I pray thee, let this child’s 03206 soul 05315 come 07725 into him 07130 again 07725. stretched: Heb. measuredinto…: Heb. into his inward parts
22 And the LORD 03068 heard 08085 the voice 06963 of Elijah 0452; and the soul 05315 of the child 03206 came 07725 into him 07130 again 07725, and he revived 02421.
23 And Elijah 0452 took 03947 the child 03206, and brought him down 03381 from the chamber 05944 into the house 01004, and delivered 05414 him to his mother 0517: and Elijah 0452 said 0559, See 07200, thy son 01121 liveth 02416.
24 And the woman 0802 said 0559 to Elijah 0452, Now by this 02088 I know 03045 that thou art a man 0376 of God 0430, and that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 in thy mouth 06310 is truth 0571.
1 And it came to pass after many 07227 days 03117, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 in the third 07992 year 08141, saying 0559, Go 03212, show 07200 thyself to Ahab 0256; and I will send 05414 rain 04306 upon 06440 the earth 0127.
2 And Elijah 0452 went 03212 to show 07200 himself to Ahab 0256. And there was a grievous 02389 famine 07458 in Samaria 08111.
3 And Ahab 0256 called 07121 Obadiah 05662, who was the governor of his house 01004. (Now Obadiah 05662 feared 03373 the LORD 03068 greatly 03966: Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahuthe governor…: Heb. over his house
4 For it was so, when Jezebel 0348 cut off 03772 the prophets 05030 of the LORD 03068, that Obadiah 05662 took 03947 an hundred 03967 prophets 05030, and hid 02244 them by fifty 0376, 2572 in a cave 04631, and fed 03557 them with bread 03899 and water 04325.) Jezebel: Heb. Izebel
5 And Ahab 0256 said 0559 to Obadiah 05662, Go 03212 into the land 0776, to all fountains 04599 of water 04325, and to all brooks 05158: perhaps 0194 we may find 04672 grass 02682 to save 02421 the horses 05483 and mules 06505 alive 02421, that we lose 03772 not all the beasts 0929. that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts
6 So they divided 02505 the land 0776 between them to pass throughout 05674 it: Ahab 0256 went 01980 one 0259 way 01870 by himself, and Obadiah 05662 went 01980 another 0259 way 01870 by himself.
7 And as Obadiah 05662 was in the way 01870, behold, Elijah 0452 met 07125 him: and he knew 05234 him, and fell 05307 on his face 06440, and said 0559, Art thou that my lord 0113 Elijah 0452?
8 And he answered 0559 him, I am: go 03212, tell 0559 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 is here.
9 And he said 0559, How have I sinned 02398, that thou wouldest deliver 05414 thy servant 05650 into the hand 03027 of Ahab 0256, to slay 04191 me?
10 As the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 liveth 02416, there is no 03426 nation 01471 nor kingdom 04467, where 0834 my lord 0113 hath not sent 07971 to seek 01245 thee: and when they said 0559, He is not there; he took an oath 07650 of the kingdom 04467 and nation 01471, that they found 04672 thee not.
11 And now thou sayest 0559, Go 03212, tell 0559 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I have gone 03212 from thee, that the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 shall carry 05375 thee where I know 03045 not; and so when I come 0935 and tell 05046 Ahab 0256, and he cannot find 04672 thee, he shall slay 02026 me: but I thy servant 05650 fear 03372 the LORD 03068 from my youth 05271.
13 Was it not told 05046 my lord 0113 what I did 06213 when Jezebel 0348 slew 02026 the prophets 05030 of the LORD 03068, how I hid 02244 an hundred 03967 men 0376 of the LORD’S 03068 prophets 05030 by fifty 02572 in a cave 04631, and fed 03557 them with bread 03899 and water 04325?
14 And now thou sayest 0559, Go 03212, tell 0559 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 is here: and he shall slay 02026 me.
15 And Elijah 0452 said 0559, As the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975, I will surely show 07200 myself to him to day 03117.
16 So Obadiah 05662 went 03212 to meet 07125 Ahab 0256, and told 05046 him: and Ahab 0256 went 03212 to meet 07125 Elijah 0452.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 saw 07200 Elijah 0452, that Ahab 0256 said 0559 to him, Art thou he that troubleth 05916 Israel 03478?
18 And he answered 0559, I have not troubled 05916 Israel 03478; but thou, and thy father’s 01 house 01004, in that ye have forsaken 05800 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068, and thou hast followed 03212, 310 Baalim 01168.
19 Now therefore send 07971, and gather 06908 to me all Israel 03478 to mount 02022 Carmel 03760, and the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168 four 0702 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572, and the prophets 05030 of the groves 0842 four 0702 hundred 03967, who eat 0398 at Jezebel’s 0348 table 07979.
20 So Ahab 0256 sent 07971 to all the children 01121 of Israel 03478, and gathered 06908 the prophets 05030 together 06908 to mount 02022 Carmel 03760.
21 And Elijah 0452 came 05066 to all the people 05971, and said 0559, How long 05921 halt 06452 ye between two 08147 opinions 05587? if the LORD 03068 is God 0430, follow him: but if Baal 01168, then follow 03212, 310 him. And the people 05971 answered 06030 him not a word 01697. opinions: or, thoughts
22 Then said 0559 Elijah 0452 to the people 05971, I, even I only, remain 03498 a prophet 05030 of the LORD 03068; but Baal’s 01168 prophets 05030 are four 0702 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572 men 0376.
23 Let them therefore give 05414 us two 08147 bulls 06499; and let them choose 0977 one 0259 bull 06499 for themselves, and cut it in pieces 05408, and lay 07760 it on wood 06086, and put 07760 no fire 0784 under: and I will prepare 06213 the other 0259 bull 06499, and lay 05414 it on wood 06086, and put 07760 no fire 0784 under:
24 And call 07121 ye on the name 08034 of your gods 0430, and I will call 07121 on the name 08034 of the LORD 03068: and the God 0430 that answereth 06030 by fire 0784, let him be God 0430. And all the people 05971 answered 06030 and said 0559, It is well 02896 spoken 01697. It is…: Heb. The word is good
25 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168, Choose 0977 one 0259 bull 06499 for yourselves, and prepare 06213 it first 07223; for ye are many 07227; and call 07121 on the name 08034 of your gods 0430, but put 07760 no fire 0784 under.
26 And they took 03947 the bull 06499 which was given 05414 them, and they prepared 06213 it, and called 07121 on the name 08034 of Baal 01168 from morning 01242 even until noon 06672, saying 0559, O Baal 01168, hear 06030 us. But there was no 0369 voice 06963, nor any that answered 06030. And they leaped 06452 upon the altar 04196 which was made 06213. hear: or, answeranswered: or, heardleaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar
27 And it came to pass at noon 06672, that Elijah 0452 mocked 02048 them, and said 0559, Cry 07121 aloud 01419, 6963: for he is a god 0430; either he is talking 07879, or he is pursuing 07873, or he is on a journey 01870, or perhaps 0194 he sleepeth 03463, and must be awakened 03364. aloud: Heb. with a great voicehe is talking: or, he meditatethis pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit
28 And they cried 07121 aloud 06963, 1419, and cut 01413 themselves after their manner 04941 with knives 02719 and lancets 07420, till the blood 01818 gushed out 08210 upon them. the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them
29 And it came to pass, when midday 06672 was past 05674, and they prophesied 05012 until the time of the offering 05927 of the evening sacrifice 04503, that there was neither voice 06963, nor any to answer 06030, nor any that regarded 07182. offering: Heb. ascendingthat regarded: Heb. attention
30 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to all the people 05971, Come near 05066 to me. And all the people 05971 came near 05066 to him. And he repaired 07495 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 that was broken down 02040.
31 And Elijah 0452 took 03947 twelve 08147, 6240 stones 068, according to the number 04557 of the tribes 07626 of the sons 01121 of Jacob 03290, to whom the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came, saying 0559, Israel 03478 shall be thy name 08034:
32 And with the stones 068 he built 01129 an altar 04196 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068: and he made 06213 a trench 08585 about 05439 the altar 04196, as great as would contain 01004 two measures 05429 of seed 02233.
33 And he put 06186 the wood 06086 in order 06186, and cut 05408 the bull 06499 in pieces, and laid 07760 him on the wood 06086, and said 0559, Fill 04390 four 0702 barrels 03537 with water 04325, and pour 03332 it on the burnt sacrifice 05930, and on the wood 06086.
34 And he said 0559, Do it the second time 08138. And they did it the second time 08138. And he said 0559, Do it the third time 08027. And they did it the third time 08027.
35 And the water 04325 ran 03212 around 05439 the altar 04196; and he filled 04390 the trench 08585 also with water 04325. ran: Heb. went
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering 05927 of the evening sacrifice 04503, that Elijah 0452 the prophet 05030 came near 05066, and said 0559, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and of Israel 03478, let it be known 03045 this day 03117 that thou art God 0430 in Israel 03478, and that I am thy servant 05650, and that I have done 06213 all these things at thy word 01697.
37 Hear 06030 me, O LORD 03068, hear 06030 me, that this people 05971 may know 03045 that thou art the LORD 03068 God 0430, and that thou hast turned 05437 their heart 03820 back 05437 again 0322.
38 Then the fire 0784 of the LORD 03068 fell 05307, and consumed 0398 the burnt sacrifice 05930, and the wood 06086, and the stones 068, and the dust 06083, and licked up 03897 the water 04325 that was in the trench 08585.
39 And when all the people 05971 saw 07200 it, they fell 05307 on their faces 06440: and they said 0559, The LORD 03068, he is the God 0430; the LORD 03068, he is the God 0430.
40 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to them, Take 08610 the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168; let not one 0376 of them escape 04422. And they took 08610 them: and Elijah 0452 brought them down 03381 to the brook 05158 Kishon 07028, and slew 07819 them there. Take: or, Apprehend
41 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to Ahab 0256, Go up 05927, eat 0398 and drink 08354; for there is a sound 06963 of abundance 01995 of rain 01653. a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain
42 So Ahab 0256 went up 05927 to eat 0398 and to drink 08354. And Elijah 0452 went up 05927 to the top 07218 of Carmel 03760; and he cast himself down 01457 upon the earth 0776, and put 07760 his face 06440 between his knees 01290,
43 And said 0559 to his servant 05288, Go up 05927 now, look 05027 toward 01870 the sea 03220. And he went up 05927, and looked 05027, and said 0559, There is nothing 03972. And he said 0559, Go again 07725 seven 07651 times 06471.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time 07637, that he said 0559, Behold, there ariseth 05927 a little 06996 cloud 05645 out of the sea 03220, like a man’s 0376 hand 03709. And he said 0559, Go up 05927, say 0559 to Ahab 0256, Prepare 0631 thy chariot, and go down 03381, that the rain 01653 may not hinder thee 06113. Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind
45 And it came to pass in the mean while 03541, that the heaven 08064 was black 06937 with clouds 05645 and wind 07307, and there was a great 01419 rain 01653. And Ahab 0256 rode 07392, and went 03212 to Jezreel 03157.
46 And the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 was on Elijah 0452; and he girded 08151 his loins 04975, and ran 07323 before 06440 Ahab 0256 to the entrance 0935 of Jezreel 03157. to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel
1 And Ahab 0256 told 05046 Jezebel 0348 all that Elijah 0452 had done 06213, and how he had slain 02026 all the prophets 05030 with the sword 02719.
2 Then Jezebel 0348 sent 07971 a messenger 04397 to Elijah 0452, saying 0559, So let the gods 0430 do 06213 to me, and more 03254 also, if I make 07760 not thy life 05315 as the life 05315 of one 0259 of them by to morrow 04279 about this time 06256.
3 And when he saw 07200 that, he arose 06965, and went 03212 for his life 05315, and came 0935 to Beersheba 0884, which belongeth to Judah 03063, and left 03240 his servant 05288 there.
4 But he himself went 01980 a day’s 03117 journey 01870 into the wilderness 04057, and came 0935 and sat down 03427 under a 0259 juniper tree 07574: and he requested 07592 for himself 05315 that he might die 04191; and said 0559, It is enough 07227; now, O LORD 03068, take away 03947 my life 05315; for I am not better 02896 than my fathers 01. for himself: Heb. for his life
5 And as he lay 07901 and slept 03462 under a 0259 juniper tree 07574, behold, then an angel 04397 touched 05060 him, and said 0559 to him, Arise 06965 and eat 0398.
6 And he looked 05027, and, behold, there was a cake 05692 baked on the coals 07529, and a cruse 06835 of water 04325 at his head 04763. And he ate 0398 and drank 08354, and laid himself down 07901 again 07725. head: Heb. bolster
7 And the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 came again 07725 the second time 08145, and touched 05060 him, and said 0559, Arise 06965 and eat 0398; because the journey 01870 is too great 07227 for thee.
8 And he arose 06965, and ate 0398 and drank 08354, and went 03212 in the strength 03581 of that food 0396 forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915 to Horeb 02722 the mount 02022 of God 0430.
9 And he came 0935 there to a cave 04631, and lodged 03885 there; and, behold, the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to him, and he said 0559 to him, What doest thou here, Elijah 0452?
10 And he said 0559, I have been very 07065 jealous 07065 for the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635: for the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have forsaken 05800 thy covenant 01285, thrown down 02040 thy altars 04196, and slain 02026 thy prophets 05030 with the sword 02719; and I, I only, am left 03498; and they seek 01245 my life 05315, to take it away 03947.
11 And he said 0559, Go forth 03318, and stand 05975 upon the mount 02022 before 06440 the LORD 03068. And, behold, the LORD 03068 passed by 05674, and a great 01419 and strong 02389 wind 07307 rent 06561 the mountains 02022, and broke in pieces 07665 the rocks 05553 before 06440 the LORD 03068; but the LORD 03068 was not in the wind 07307: and after 0310 the wind 07307 an earthquake 07494; but the LORD 03068 was not in the earthquake 07494:
12 And after 0310 the earthquake 07494 a fire 0784; but the LORD 03068 was not in the fire 0784: and after 0310 the fire 0784 a still 01827 small 01851 voice 06963.
13 And it was so, when Elijah 0452 heard 08085 it, that he wrapped 03874 his face 06440 in his mantle 0155, and went out 03318, and stood 05975 in the entrance 06607 of the cave 04631. And, behold, there came a voice 06963 to him, and said 0559, What doest thou here, Elijah 0452?
14 And he said 0559, I have been very 07065 jealous 07065 for the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635: because the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have forsaken 05800 thy covenant 01285, thrown down 02040 thy altars 04196, and slain 02026 thy prophets 05030 with the sword 02719; and I, I only, am left 03498; and they seek 01245 my life 05315, to take it away 03947.
15 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to him, Go 03212, return 07725 on thy way 01870 to the wilderness 04057 of Damascus 01834: and when thou comest 0935, anoint 04886 Hazael 02371 to be king 04428 over Syria 0758:
16 And Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Nimshi 05250 shalt thou anoint 04886 to be king 04428 over Israel 03478: and Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202 of Abelmeholah 065 shalt thou anoint 04886 to be prophet 05030 in thy stead. Elisha: Gr. Eliseus
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth 04422 the sword 02719 of Hazael 02371 shall Jehu 03058 slay 04191: and him that escapeth 04422 from the sword 02719 of Jehu 03058 shall Elisha 0477 slay 04191.
18 Yet I have left 07604 to me seven 07651 thousand 0505 in Israel 03478, all the knees 01290 which have not bowed 03766 to Baal 01168, and every mouth 06310 which hath not kissed 05401 him. I have…: or, I will leave
19 So he departed 03212 from there, and found 04672 Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202, who was plowing 02790 with twelve 08147, 6240 yoke 06776 of oxen before 06440 him, and he with the twelfth 08147, 6240: and Elijah 0452 passed 05674 by him, and cast 07993 his mantle 0155 upon him.
20 And he left 05800 the oxen 01241, and ran 07323 after 0310 Elijah 0452, and said 0559, Let me, I pray thee, kiss 05401 my father 01 and my mother 0517, and then I will follow 03212, 310 thee. And he said 0559 to him, Go back 03212 again 07725: for what have I done 06213 to thee? Go…: Heb. Go return
21 And he returned back 07725 from him 0310, and took 03947 a yoke 06776 of oxen 01241, and slew 02076 them, and boiled 01310 their flesh 01320 with the instruments 03627 of the oxen 01241, and gave 05414 to the people 05971, and they ate 0398. Then he arose 06965, and went 03212 after 0310 Elijah 0452, and ministered 08334 to him.
1 And Benhadad 01130 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 gathered 06908 all his army 02428 together 06908: and there were thirty 07970 and two 08147 kings 04428 with him, and horses 05483, and chariots 07393: and he went up 05927 and besieged 06696 Samaria 08111, and warred 03898 against it.
2 And he sent 07971 messengers 04397 to Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478 into the city 05892, and said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 Benhadad 01130,
3 Thy silver 03701 and thy gold 02091 is mine; thy wives 0802 also and thy children 01121, even the most comely 02896, are mine.
4 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 answered 06030 and said 0559, My lord 0113, O king 04428, according to thy saying 01697, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 And the messengers 04397 came again 07725, and said 0559, Thus speaketh 0559 Benhadad 01130, saying 0559, Although I have sent 07971 to thee, saying 0559, Thou shalt deliver 05414 to me thy silver 03701, and thy gold 02091, and thy wives 0802, and thy children 01121;
6 Yet I will send 07971 my servants 05650 to thee to morrow 04279 about this time 06256, and they shall search 02664 thy house 01004, and the houses 01004 of thy servants 05650; and it shall be 01961, that whatever is pleasant 04261 in thy eyes 05869, they shall take 07760 it in their hand 03027, and carry it away 03947. pleasant: Heb. desirable
7 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 called 07121 all the elders 02205 of the land 0776, and said 0559, Mark 03045, I pray you, and see 07200 how this man seeketh 01245 mischief 07451: for he sent 07971 to me for my wives 0802, and for my children 01121, and for my silver 03701, and for my gold 02091; and I denied 04513 him not. I denied…: Heb. I kept not back from him
8 And all the elders 02205 and all the people 05971 said 0559 to him, Hearken 08085 not to him, nor consent 014.
9 Therefore he said 0559 to the messengers 04397 of Benhadad 01130, Tell 0559 my lord 0113 the king 04428, All that thou didst send 07971 for to thy servant 05650 at the first 07223 I will do 06213: but this thing 01697 I may 03201 not do 06213. And the messengers 04397 departed 03212, and brought 07725 him word 01697 again 07725.
10 And Benhadad 01130 sent 07971 to him, and said 0559, The gods 0430 do so 06213 to me, and more also 03254, if the dust 06083 of Samaria 08111 shall suffice 05606 for handfuls 08168 for all the people 05971 that follow 07272 me. follow…: Heb. are at my feet
11 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 answered 06030 and said 0559, Tell 01696 him, Let not him that girdeth 02296 on his armour boast 01984 himself as he that putteth it off 06605.
12 And it came to pass, when Benhadad heard 08085 this message 01697, as he was drinking 08354, he and the kings 04428 in the pavilions 05521, that he said 0559 to his servants 05650, Set 07760 yourselves in array. And they set 07760 themselves in array against the city 05892. message: Heb. wordpavilions: or, tentsSet yourselves…: or, Place the engines. And they placed the engines
13 And, behold, there came 05066 a 0259 prophet 05030 to Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Hast thou seen 07200 all this great 01419 multitude 01995? behold, I will deliver 05414 it into thy hand 03027 this day 03117; and thou shalt know 03045 that I am the LORD 03068. came: Heb. approached
14 And Ahab 0256 said 0559, By whom? And he said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Even by the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082. Then he said 0559, Who shall order 0631 the battle 04421? And he answered 0559, Thou. young…: or, servantsorder: Heb. bind, or, tie
15 Then he numbered 06485 the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082, and they were two 08147 hundred 03967 and thirty 07970 and two 08147: and after 0310 them he numbered 06485 all the people 05971, even all the children 01121 of Israel 03478, being seven 07651 thousand 0505.
16 And they went out 03318 at noon 06672. But Benhadad 01130 was drinking 08354 himself drunk 07910 in the pavilions 05521, he and the kings 04428, the thirty 07970 and two 08147 kings 04428 that helped 05826 him.
17 And the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082 went out 03318 first 07223; and Benhadad 01130 sent out 07971, and they told 05046 him, saying 0559, There are men 0582 come out 03318 of Samaria 08111.
18 And he said 0559, Whether they have come out 03318 for peace 07965, take 08610 them alive 02416; or whether they have come out 03318 for war 04421, take 08610 them alive 02416.
19 So these young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082 came out 03318 of the city 05892, and the army 02428 which followed 0310 them.
20 And they slew 05221 every one 0376 his man 0376: and the Syrians 0758 fled 05127; and Israel 03478 pursued 07291 them: and Benhadad 01130 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 escaped 04422 on an horse 05483 with the horsemen 06571.
21 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 went out 03318, and smote 05221 the horses 05483 and chariots 07393, and slew 05221 the Syrians 0758 with a great 01419 slaughter 04347.
22 And the prophet 05030 came 05066 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559 to him, Go 03212, strengthen 02388 thyself, and mark 03045, and see 07200 what thou doest 06213: for at the return 08666 of the year 08141 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 will come up 05927 against thee.
23 And the servants 05650 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758 said 0559 to him, Their gods 0430 are gods 0430 of the hills 02022; therefore they were stronger 02388 than we; but 0199 let us fight 03898 against them in the plain 04334, and surely 03808 we shall be stronger 02388 than they.
24 And do 06213 this thing 01697, Take 05493 the kings 04428 away, every man 0376 out of his place 04725, and put 07760 captains 06346 in their places:
25 And number 04487 thee an army 02428, like the army 02428 that thou hast lost 05307, horse 05483 for horse 05483, and chariot 07393 for chariot 07393: and we will fight 03898 against 0854 them in the plain 04334, and surely we shall be stronger 02388 than they. And he hearkened 08085 to their voice 06963, and did so 06213. that thou…: Heb. that was fallen
26 And it came to pass at the return 08666 of the year 08141, that Benhadad 01130 numbered 06485 the Syrians 0758, and went up 05927 to Aphek 0663, to fight 04421 against Israel 03478. to fight…: Heb. to the war with Israel
27 And the children 01121 of Israel 03478 were numbered 06485, and were all present 03557, and went 03212 against 07125 them: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 encamped 02583 before them like two 08147 little flocks 02835 of kids 05795; but the Syrians 0758 filled 04390 the country 0776. were all…: or, were nourished
28 And there came 05066 a man 0376 of God 0430, and spoke 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Because the Syrians 0758 have said 0559, The LORD 03068 is God 0430 of the hills 02022, but he is not God 0430 of the valleys 06010, therefore will I deliver 05414 all this great 01419 multitude 01995 into thy hand 03027, and ye shall know 03045 that I am the LORD 03068.
29 And they encamped 02583 opposite 05227 one 0428 another 0428 seven 07651 days 03117. And so it was, that in the seventh 07637 day 03117 the battle 04421 was joined 07126: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 slew 05221 of the Syrians 0758 an hundred 03967 thousand 0505 footmen 07273 in one 0259 day 03117.
30 But the rest 03498 fled 05127 to Aphek 0663, into the city 05892; and there a wall 02346 fell 05307 upon twenty 06242 and seven 07651 thousand 0505 of the men 0376 that were left 03498. And Benhadad 01130 fled 05127, and came 0935 into the city 05892, into an inner 02315 chamber 02315. into an…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber
31 And his servants 05650 said 0559 to him, Behold now, we have heard 08085 that the kings 04428 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478 are merciful 02617 kings 04428: let us, I pray thee, put 07760 sackcloth 08242 on our loins 04975, and ropes 02256 upon our heads 07218, and go out 03318 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478: perhaps he will save 02421 thy life 05315.
32 So they girded 02296 sackcloth 08242 on their loins 04975, and put ropes 02256 on their heads 07218, and came 0935 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559, Thy servant 05650 Benhadad 01130 saith 0559, I pray thee, let me live 02421, 5315. And he said 0559, Is he yet alive 02416? he is my brother 0251.
33 Now the men 0582 diligently observed 05172 whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily 04116 catch 02480 it: and they said 0559, Thy brother 0251 Benhadad 01130. Then he said 0559, Go 0935 ye, bring 03947 him. Then Benhadad 01130 came forth 03318 to him; and he caused him to come up 05927 into the chariot 04818.
34 And Benhadad said 0559 to him, The cities 05892, which my father 01 took 03947 from thy father 01, I will restore 07725; and thou shalt make 07760 streets 02351 for thee in Damascus 01834, as my father 01 made 07760 in Samaria 08111. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away 07971 with this covenant 01285. So he made 03772 a covenant 01285 with him, and sent him away 07971. streets: or, market places
35 And a certain 0259 man 0376 of the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 said 0559 to his neighbour 07453 in the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, Smite 05221 me, I pray thee. And the man 0376 refused 03985 to smite 05221 him.
36 Then said 0559 he to him, Because thou hast not obeyed 08085 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, behold, as soon as thou hast departed 01980 from me, a lion 0738 shall slay 05221 thee. And as soon as he had departed 03212 from him 0681, a lion 0738 found 04672 him, and slew 05221 him.
37 Then he found 04672 another 0312 man 0376, and said 0559, Smite 05221 me, I pray thee. And the man 0376 smote 05221 him, so that in smiting 05221 he wounded 06481 him. so that…: Heb. smiting and wounding
38 So the prophet 05030 departed 03212, and waited 05975 for the king 04428 by the way 01870, and disguised 02664 himself with ashes 0666 upon his face 05869.
39 And as the king 04428 passed by 05674, he cried 06817 to the king 04428: and he said 0559, Thy servant 05650 went out 03318 into the midst 07130 of the battle 04421; and, behold, a man 0376 turned aside 05493, and brought 0935 a man 0376 to me, and said 0559, Keep 08104 this man 0376: if by any means 06485 he shall be missing 06485, then shall thy life 05315 be for his life 05315, or else thou shalt pay 08254 a talent 03603 of silver 03701. pay: Heb. weigh
40 And as thy servant 05650 was busy 06213 here and there, he was gone 0369. And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to him, So shall thy judgment 04941 be; thyself hast decided 02782 it. he was…: Heb. he was not
41 And he hasted 04116, and took the ashes 0666 away 05493 from his face 05869; and the king 04428 of Israel 03478 knew 05234 that he was of the prophets 05030.
42 And he said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Because thou hast let go 07971 out of thy hand 03027 a man 0376 whom I appointed to utter destruction 02764, therefore thy life 05315 shall go for his life 05315, and thy people 05971 for his people 05971.
43 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 went 03212 to his house 01004 sad 05620 and displeased 02198, and came 0935 to Samaria 08111.
1 And it came to pass after 0310 these things 01697, that Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158 had a vineyard 03754, which was in Jezreel 03157, close to 0681 the palace 01964 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Samaria 08111.
2 And Ahab 0256 spoke 01696 to Naboth 05022, saying 0559, Give 05414 me thy vineyard 03754, that I may have it for a garden 01588 of herbs 03419, because it is near 07138 to 0681 my house 01004: and I will give 05414 thee for it a better 02896 vineyard 03754 than it; or, if it seemeth good 02896 to thee 05869, I will give 05414 thee the worth 04242 of it in money 03701. seem…: Heb. be good in thine eyes
3 And Naboth 05022 said 0559 to Ahab 0256, The LORD 03068 forbid 02486 it me, that I should give 05414 the inheritance 05159 of my fathers 01 to thee.
4 And Ahab 0256 came 0935 into his house 01004 sad 05620 and displeased 02198 because of the word 01697 which Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158 had spoken 01696 to him: for he had said 0559, I will not give 05414 thee the inheritance 05159 of my fathers 01. And he laid himself down 07901 upon his bed 04296, and turned away 05437 his face 06440, and would eat 0398 no food 03899.
5 But Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 came 0935 to him, and said 01696 to him, Why is thy spirit 07307 so sad 05620, that thou eatest 0398 no food 03899?
6 And he said 01696 to her, Because I spoke 01696 to Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, and said 0559 to him, Give 05414 me thy vineyard 03754 for money 03701; or else, if it pleaseth 02655 thee, I will give 05414 thee another vineyard 03754 for it: and he answered 0559, I will not give 05414 thee my vineyard 03754.
7 And Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 said 0559 to him, Dost thou now govern 06213 the kingdom 04410 of Israel 03478? arise 06965, and eat 0398 food 03899, and let thy heart 03820 be merry 03190: I will give 05414 thee the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158.
8 So she wrote 03789 letters 05612 in Ahab’s 0256 name 08034, and sealed 02856 them with his seal 02368, and sent 07971 the letters 05612 to the elders 02205 and to the nobles 02715 that were in his city 05892, dwelling 03427 with Naboth 05022.
9 And she wrote 03789 in the letters 05612, saying 0559, Proclaim 07121 a fast 06685, and set 03427 Naboth 05022 on high 07218 among the people 05971: on high…: Heb. in the top of the people
10 And set 03427 two 08147 men 0582, worthless 01100 men 01121, before him, to bear witness 05749 against him, saying 0559, Thou didst blaspheme 01288 God 0430 and the king 04428. And then carry him out 03318, and stone 05619 him, that he may die 04191.
11 And the men 0582 of his city 05892, even the elders 02205 and the nobles 02715 who were the inhabitants 03427 in his city 05892, did 06213 as Jezebel 0348 had sent 07971 to them, and as it was written 03789 in the letters 05612 which she had sent 07971 to them.
12 They proclaimed 07121 a fast 06685, and set 03427 Naboth 05022 on high 07218 among the people 05971.
13 And there came 0935 in two 08147 men 0582, worthless 01100 men 01121, and sat 03427 before him: and the worthless 01100 men 0582 witnessed 05749 against him, even against Naboth 05022, in the presence of the people 05971, saying 0559, Naboth 05022 blasphemed 01288 God 0430 and the king 04428. Then they carried him forth 03318 out 02351 of the city 05892, and stoned 05619 him with stones 068, that he died 04191.
14 Then they sent 07971 to Jezebel 0348, saying 0559, Naboth 05022 is stoned 05619, and is dead 04191.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel 0348 heard 08085 that Naboth 05022 was stoned 05619, and was dead 04191, that Jezebel 0348 said 0559 to Ahab 0256, Arise 06965, take possession 03423 of the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, which he refused 03985 to give 05414 thee for money 03701: for Naboth 05022 is not alive 02416, but dead 04191.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 heard 08085 that Naboth 05022 was dead 04191, that Ahab 0256 arose 06965 to go down 03381 to the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, to take possession 03423 of it.
17 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, saying 0559,
18 Arise 06965, go down 03381 to meet 07125 Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478, who is in Samaria 08111: behold, he is in the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022, where he is gone down 03381 to possess 03423 it.
19 And thou shalt speak 01696 to him, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Hast thou killed 07523, and also taken possession 03423? And thou shalt speak 01696 to him, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, In the place 04725 where dogs 03611 licked 03952 the blood 01818 of Naboth 05022 shall dogs 03611 lick 03952 thy blood 01818, even thine.
20 And Ahab 0256 said 0559 to Elijah 0452, Hast thou found 04672 me, O my enemy 0341? And he answered 0559, I have found 04672 thee: because thou hast sold 04376 thyself to work 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068.
21 Behold, I will bring 0935 evil 07451 upon thee, and will take away 01197 thy posterity 0310, and will cut off 03772 from Ahab 0256 the males 08366, 7023, and him that is shut up 06113 and left 05800 in Israel 03478,
22 And will make 05414 thy house 01004 like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, and like the house 01004 of Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281, for the provocation 03708 with which thou hast provoked me to anger 03707, and made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
23 And of Jezebel 0348 also spoke 01696 the LORD 03068, saying 0559, The dogs 03611 shall eat 0398 Jezebel 0348 by the wall 02426 of Jezreel 03157. wall: or, ditch
24 Him that dieth 04191 of Ahab 0256 in the city 05892 the dogs 03611 shall eat 0398; and him that dieth 04191 in the field 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398.
25 But there was none like Ahab 0256, who sold 04376 himself to work 06213 wickedness 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, whom Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 stirred up 05496. stirred…: or, incited
26 And he did very 03966 abominably 08581 in following 03212, 310 idols 01544, according to all things as did 06213 the Amorites 0567, whom the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 heard 08085 those words 01697, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899, and put 07760 sackcloth 08242 upon his flesh 01320, and fasted 06684, and lay 07901 in sackcloth 08242, and went 01980 softly 0328.
28 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, saying 0559,
29 Seest 07200 thou how Ahab 0256 humbleth 03665 himself before 06440 me? because 03282 he humbleth 03665 himself before 06440 me, I will not bring 0935 the evil 07451 in his days 03117: but in his son’s 01121 days 03117 will I bring 0935 the evil 07451 upon his house 01004.
1 And they continued 03427 three 07969 years 08141 without war 04421 between Syria 0758 and Israel 03478.
2 And it came to pass in the third 07992 year 08141, that Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 came down 03381 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
3 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to his servants 05650, Know 03045 ye that Ramoth 07433 in Gilead 01568 is ours, and we are still 02814, and take 03947 it not out of the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758? still…: Heb. silent from taking it
4 And he said 0559 to Jehoshaphat 03092, Wilt thou go 03212 with me to battle 04421 to Ramothgilead 07433, 1568? And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, I am as thou 03644 art, my people 05971 as thy people 05971, my horses 05483 as thy horses 05483.
5 And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, Enquire 01875, I pray thee, at the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 to day 03117.
6 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 gathered 06908 the prophets 05030 together 06908, about four 0702 hundred 03967 men 0376, and said 0559 to them, Shall I go 03212 against Ramothgilead 07433, 1568 to battle 04421, or shall I forbear 02308? And they said 0559, Go up 05927; for the Lord 0136 shall deliver 05414 it into the hand 03027 of the king 04428.
7 And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559, Is there not here a prophet 05030 of the LORD 03068 besides 05750, that we may enquire 01875 of him?
8 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to Jehoshaphat 03092, There is yet one 0259 man 0376, Micaiah 04321 the son 01121 of Imlah 03229, by whom we may enquire 01875 of the LORD 03068: but I hate 08130 him; for he doth not prophesy 05012 good 02896 concerning me, but evil 07451. And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559, Let not the king 04428 say 0559 so.
9 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 called 07121 an 0259 officer 05631, and said 0559, Hasten 04116 here Micaiah 04321 the son 01121 of Imlah 03229. officer: or, eunuch
10 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 sat 03427 each 0376 on his throne 03678, having put on 03847 their robes 0899, in a threshingfloor 01637 at the entrance 06607 of the gate 08179 of Samaria 08111; and all the prophets 05030 prophesied 05012 before 06440 them. void…: Heb. floor
11 And Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Chenaanah 03668 made 06213 him horns 07161 of iron 01270: and he said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, With these shalt thou push 05055 the Syrians 0758, until thou hast consumed 03615 them.
12 And all the prophets 05030 prophesied 05012 so, saying 0559, Go up 05927 to Ramothgilead 07433, 1568, and prosper 06743: for the LORD 03068 shall deliver 05414 it into the king’s 04428 hand 03027.
13 And the messenger 04397 that went 01980 to call 07121 Micaiah 04321 spoke 01696 to him, saying 0559, Behold now, the words 01697 of the prophets 05030 declare good 02896 to the king 04428 with one 0259 mouth 06310: let thy word 01697, I pray thee, be like the word 01697 of one 0259 of them, and speak 01696 that which is good 02896.
14 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, what the LORD 03068 saith 0559 to me, that will I speak 01696.
15 So he came 0935 to the king 04428. And the king 04428 said 0559 to him, Micaiah 04321, shall we go 03212 against Ramothgilead 07433, 1568 to battle 04421, or shall we forbear 02308? And he answered 0559 him, Go 05927, and prosper 06743: for the LORD 03068 shall deliver 05414 it into the hand 03027 of the king 04428.
16 And the king 04428 said 0559 to him, How many times 06471 shall I adjure 07650 thee that thou tell 01696 me nothing but that which is true 0571 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068?
17 And he said 0559, I saw 07200 all Israel 03478 scattered 06327 upon the hills 02022, as sheep 06629 that have not a shepherd 07462: and the LORD 03068 said 0559, These have no master 0113: let them return 07725 every man 0376 to his house 01004 in peace 07965.
18 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to Jehoshaphat 03092, Did I not tell 0559 thee that he would prophesy 05012 no good 02896 concerning me, but evil 07451?
19 And he said 0559, Hear 08085 thou therefore the word 01697 of the LORD 03068: I saw 07200 the LORD 03068 sitting 03427 on his throne 03678, and all the host 06635 of heaven 08064 standing 05975 by him on his right hand 03225 and on his left 08040.
20 And the LORD 03068 said 0559, Who shall persuade 06601 Ahab 0256, that he may go up 05927 and fall 05307 at Ramothgilead 07433, 1568? And one said 0559 in this manner 03541, and another said 0559 in that manner 03541. persuade: or, deceive
21 And there came forth 03318 a spirit 07307, and stood 05975 before 06440 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, I will persuade 06601 him.
22 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to him, How? And he said 0559, I will go forth 03318, and I will be a lying 08267 spirit 07307 in the mouth 06310 of all his prophets 05030. And he said 0559, Thou shalt persuade 06601 him, and prevail 03201 also: go forth 03318, and do 06213 so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD 03068 hath put 05414 a lying 08267 spirit 07307 in the mouth 06310 of all these thy prophets 05030, and the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 evil 07451 concerning thee.
24 But Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Chenaanah 03668 went near 05066, and smote 05221 Micaiah 04321 on the cheek 03895, and said 0559, Which way 0335 went 05674 the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 from me to speak 01696 to thee?
25 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559, Behold, thou shalt see 07200 in that day 03117, when thou shalt go 0935 into an inner 02315 chamber 02315 to hide 02247 thyself. into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber
26 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559, Take 03947 Micaiah 04321, and carry him back 07725 to Amon 0526 the governor 08269 of the city 05892, and to Joash 03101 the king’s 04428 son 01121;
27 And say 0559, Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Put 07760 this man in the prison 01004, 3608, and feed 0398 him with bread 03899 of affliction 03906 and with water 04325 of affliction 03906, until I come 0935 in peace 07965.
28 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559, If thou shalt return 07725 at all 07725 in peace 07965, the LORD 03068 hath not spoken 01696 by me. And he said 0559, Hearken 08085, O people 05971, each one of you.
29 So the king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 went up 05927 to Ramothgilead 07433, 1568.
30 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to Jehoshaphat 03092, I will disguise 02664 myself, and enter 0935 into the battle 04421; but put thou on 03847 thy robes 0899. And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 disguised 02664 himself, and went 0935 into the battle 04421. I will…: or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battle
31 But the king 04428 of Syria 0758 commanded 06680 his thirty 07970 and two 08147 captains 08269 that had rule over his chariots 07393, saying 0559, Fight 03898 neither with small 06996 nor great 01419, except only with the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains 08269 of the chariots 07393 saw 07200 Jehoshaphat 03092, that they said 0559, Surely this is the king 04428 of Israel 03478. And they turned aside 05493 to fight 03898 against him: and Jehoshaphat 03092 cried out 02199.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains 08269 of the chariots 07393 perceived 07200 that he was not the king 04428 of Israel 03478, that they turned back 07725 from pursuing 0310 him.
34 And a certain man 0376 drew 04900 a bow 07198 at a venture 08537, and smote 05221 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 between the joints 01694 of his armour 08302: therefore he said 0559 to the driver of his chariot 07395, Turn 02015 thy hand 03027, and carry me out 03318 of the host 04264; for I am wounded 02470. at a…: Heb. in his simplicityjoints…: Heb. joints and the breastplatewounded: Heb. made sick
35 And the battle 04421 increased 05927 that day 03117: and the king 04428 was held up 05975 in his chariot 04818 against 05227 the Syrians 0758, and died 04191 at evening 06153: and the blood 01818 ran out 03332 of the wound 04347 into the inside 02436 of the chariot 07393. increased: Heb. ascendedmidst: Heb. bosom
36 And there went 05674 a proclamation 07440 throughout the host 04264 about the setting 0935 of the sun 08121, saying 0559, Every man 0376 to his city 05892, and every man 0376 to his own country 0776.
37 So the king 04428 died 04191, and was brought 0935 to Samaria 08111; and they buried 06912 the king 04428 in Samaria 08111. was brought: Heb. came
38 And one washed 07857 the chariot 07393 in the pool 01295 of Samaria 08111; and the dogs 03611 licked up 03952 his blood 01818; and they washed 07364 his armour 02185; according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which he spoke 01696.
39 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Ahab 0256, and all that he did 06213, and the ivory 08127 house 01004 which he made 01129, and all the cities 05892 that he built 01129, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
40 So Ahab 0256 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and Ahaziah 0274 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
41 And Jehoshaphat 03092 the son 01121 of Asa 0609 began to reign 04427 over Judah 03063 in the fourth 0702 year 08141 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478.
42 Jehoshaphat 03092 was thirty 07970 and five 02568 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 twenty 06242 and five 02568 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Azubah 05806 the daughter 01323 of Shilhi 07977.
43 And he walked 03212 in all the ways 01870 of Asa 0609 his father 01; he turned not aside 05493 from it, doing 06213 that which was right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068: nevertheless the high places 01116 were not taken away 05493; for the people 05971 offered 02076 and burnt incense 06999 yet in the high places 01116.
44 And Jehoshaphat 03092 made peace 07999 with the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
45 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehoshaphat 03092, and his might 01369 that he showed 06213, and how he warred 03898, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
46 And the remnant 03499 of the sodomites 06945, which remained 07604 in the days 03117 of his father 01 Asa 0609, he removed 01197 from the land 0776.
47 There was then no king 04428 in Edom 0123: a deputy 05324 was king 04428.
48 Jehoshaphat 03092 made 06213, 6240 ships 0591 of Tharshish 08659 to go 03212 to Ophir 0211 for gold 02091: but they went 01980 not; for the ships 0591 were broken 07665 at Eziongeber 06100. made…: or, had ten ships
49 Then said 0559 Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 to Jehoshaphat 03092, Let my servants 05650 go 03212 with thy servants 05650 in the ships 0591. But Jehoshaphat 03092 would 014 not.
50 And Jehoshaphat 03092 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Jehoram 03088 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
51 Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 the seventeenth 07651, 6240 year 08141 of Jehoshaphat 03092 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 two years 08141 over Israel 03478.
52 And he did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 in the way 01870 of his father 01, and in the way 01870 of his mother 0517, and in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398:
53 For he served 05647 Baal 01168, and worshipped 07812 him, and provoked to anger 03707 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, according to all that his father 01 had done 06213.
