1 Then Moab 04124 rebelled 06586 against Israel 03478 after 0310 the death 04194 of Ahab 0256.
2 And Ahaziah 0274 fell down 05307 through a lattice 07639 in his upper chamber 05944 that was in Samaria 08111, and was sick 02470: and he sent 07971 messengers 04397, and said 0559 to them, Go 03212, enquire 01875 of Baalzebub 01176 the god 0430 of Ekron 06138 whether I shall recover 02421 from this disease 02483.
3 But the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 said 01696 to Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, Arise 06965, go up 05927 to meet 07125 the messengers 04397 of the king 04428 of Samaria 08111, and say 01696 to them, Is it not because there is not a God 0430 in Israel 03478, that ye go 01980 to enquire 01875 of Baalzebub 01176 the god 0430 of Ekron 06138?
4 Now therefore thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Thou shalt not come down 03381 from that bed 04296 on which thou art gone up 05927, but shalt surely 04191 die 04191. And Elijah 0452 departed 03212. Thou shalt…: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it
5 And when the messengers 04397 returned 07725 to him, he said 0559 to them, Why have ye now 02088 returned 07725?
6 And they said 0559 to him, There came up 05927 a man 0376 to meet 07125 us, and said 0559 to us, Go 03212, return 07725 to the king 04428 that sent 07971 you, and say 01696 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Is it not because there is not a God 0430 in Israel 03478, that thou sendest 07971 to enquire 01875 of Baalzebub 01176 the god 0430 of Ekron 06138? therefore thou shalt not come down 03381 from that bed 04296 on which thou art gone up 05927, but shalt surely 04191 die 04191.
7 And he said 01696 to them, What manner 04941 of man 0376 was he who came up 05927 to meet 07125 you, and told 01696 you these words 01697? What…: Heb. What was the manner of the man
8 And they answered 0559 him, He was an hairy 08181 man 01167, 376, and girt 0247 with a leather 05785 belt 0232 about his loins 04975. And he said 0559, It is Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664.
9 Then the king 04428 sent 07971 to him a captain 08269 of fifty 02572 with his fifty 02572. And he went up 05927 to him: and, behold, he sat 03427 on the top 07218 of an hill 02022. And he spoke 01696 to him, Thou man 0376 of God 0430, the king 04428 hath said 01696, Come down 03381.
10 And Elijah 0452 answered 06030 and said 01696 to the captain 08269 of fifty 02572, If I am a man 0376 of God 0430, then let fire 0784 come down 03381 from heaven 08064, and consume 0398 thee and thy fifty 02572. And there came down 03381 fire 0784 from heaven 08064, and consumed 0398 him and his fifty 02572.
11 Again 07725 also he sent 07971 to him another 0312 captain 08269 of fifty 02572 with his fifty 02572. And he answered 06030 and said 01696 to him, O man 0376 of God 0430, thus hath the king 04428 said 0559, Come down 03381 quickly 04120.
12 And Elijah 0452 answered 06030 and said 01696 to them, If I am a man 0376 of God 0430, let fire 0784 come down 03381 from heaven 08064, and consume 0398 thee and thy fifty 02572. And the fire 0784 of God 0430 came down 03381 from heaven 08064, and consumed 0398 him and his fifty 02572.
13 And he sent 07971 again 07725 a captain 08269 of the third 07992 fifty 02572 with his fifty 02572. And the third 07992 captain 08269 of fifty 02572 went up 05927, and came 0935 and fell 03766 on his knees 01290 before 05048 Elijah 0452, and besought 02603 him, and said 01696 to him, O man 0376 of God 0430, I pray thee, let my life 05315, and the life 05315 of these fifty 02572 thy servants 05650, be precious 03365 in thy sight 05869. fell: Heb. bowed
14 Behold, there came 03381 fire 0784 down 03381 from heaven 08064, and burnt up 0398 the two 08147 captains 08269 of the former 07223 fifties 02572 with their fifties 02572: therefore let my life 05315 now be precious 03365 in thy sight 05869.
15 And the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 said 01696 to Elijah 0452, Go down 03381 with him: be not afraid 03372 of him 06440. And he arose 06965, and went down 03381 with him to the king 04428.
16 And he said 01696 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Forasmuch as thou hast sent 07971 messengers 04397 to enquire 01875 of Baalzebub 01176 the god 0430 of Ekron 06138, is it not because there is no God 0430 in Israel 03478 to enquire 01875 of his word 01697? therefore thou shalt not come down 03381 off that bed 04296 on which thou art gone up 05927, but shalt surely 04191 die 04191.
17 So he died 04191 according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which Elijah 0452 had spoken 01696. And Jehoram 03088 reigned 04427 in his stead in the second 08147 year 08141 of Jehoram 03088 the son 01121 of Jehoshaphat 03092 king 04428 of Judah 03063; because he had no son 01121.
18 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Ahaziah 0274 which he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD 03068 would take up 05927 Elijah 0452 into heaven 08064 by a whirlwind 05591, that Elijah 0452 went 03212 with Elisha 0477 from Gilgal 01537.
2 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to Elisha 0477, Tarry 03427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD 03068 hath sent 07971 me to Bethel 01008. And Elisha 0477 said 0559 As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, and as thy soul 05315 liveth 02416, I will not leave 05800 thee. So they went down 03381 to Bethel 01008.
3 And the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 that were at Bethel 01008 came forth 03318 to Elisha 0477, and said 0559 to him, Knowest 03045 thou that the LORD 03068 will take away 03947 thy master 0113 from thy head 07218 to day 03117? And he said 0559, Yea, I know 03045 it; hold ye your peace 02814.
4 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to him, Elisha 0477, tarry 03427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD 03068 hath sent 07971 me to Jericho 03405. And he said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, and as thy soul 05315 liveth 02416, I will not leave 05800 thee. So they came 0935 to Jericho 03405.
5 And the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 that were at Jericho 03405 came 05066 to Elisha 0477, and said 0559 to him, Knowest 03045 thou that the LORD 03068 will take away 03947 thy master 0113 from thy head 07218 to day 03117? And he answered 0559, Yea, I know 03045 it; hold ye your peace 02814.
6 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 to him, Tarry here 03427, I pray thee; for the LORD 03068 hath sent 07971 me to Jordan 03383. And he said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, and as thy soul 05315 liveth 02416, I will not leave 05800 thee. And they two 08147 went on 03212.
7 And fifty 02572 men 0376 of the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 went 01980, and stood 05975 to view 05048 afar off 07350: and they two 08147 stood 05975 by Jordan 03383. to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against
8 And Elijah 0452 took 03947 his mantle 0155, and wrapped it together 01563, and smote 05221 the waters 04325, and they were divided 02673 to the one side and to the other, so that they two 08147 went over 05674 on dry 02724 ground.
9 And it came to pass, when they had gone over 05674, that Elijah 0452 said 0559 to Elisha 0477, Ask 07592 what I shall do 06213 for thee, before I am taken away 03947 from thee. And Elisha 0477 said 0559, I pray thee, let a double 08147 portion 06310 of thy spirit 07307 be upon me.
10 And he said 0559, Thou hast asked 07592 a hard thing 07185: nevertheless, if thou shalt see 07200 me when I am taken 03947 from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be so. Thou hast…: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking
11 And it came to pass, as they still 01980 went on 01980, and talked 01696, that, behold, there appeared a chariot 07393 of fire 0784, and horses 05483 of fire 0784, and separated 06504 them 08147, 996; and Elijah 0452 went up 05927 by a whirlwind 05591 into heaven 08064.
12 And Elisha 0477 saw 07200 it, and he cried 06817, My father 01, my father 01, the chariot 07393 of Israel 03478, and its horsemen 06571. And he saw 07200 him no more: and he took hold 02388 of his own clothes 0899, and tore 07167 them in two 08147 pieces 07168.
13 He took up 07311 also the mantle 0155 of Elijah 0452 that fell 05307 from him, and went back 07725, and stood 05975 by the bank 08193 of Jordan 03383; bank: Heb. lip
14 And he took 03947 the mantle 0155 of Elijah 0452 that fell 05307 from him, and smote 05221 the waters 04325, and said 0559, Where is the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Elijah 0452? and when he also had smitten 05221 the waters 04325, they parted 02673 to the one side and to the other: and Elisha 0477 went over 05674.
15 And when the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 who were looking on at Jericho 03405 saw 07200 him, they said 0559, The spirit 07307 of Elijah 0452 doth rest 05117 on Elisha 0477. And they came 0935 to meet 07125 him, and bowed 07812 themselves to the ground 0776 before him.
16 And they said 0559 to him, Behold now, there are 03426 with thy servants 05650 fifty 02572 strong 02428 men 01121, 582; let them go 03212, we pray thee, and seek 01245 thy master 0113: lest perhaps the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 hath taken him up 05375, and cast 07993 him upon some 0259 mountain 02022, or into some 0259 valley 01516. And he said 0559, Ye shall not send 07971. strong…: Heb. sons of strengthsome mountain: Heb. one of the mountains
17 And when they urged 06484 him till he was ashamed 0954, he said 0559, Send 07971. They sent 07971 therefore fifty 02572 men 0376; and they sought 01245 three 07969 days 03117, but found 04672 him not.
18 And when they came again 07725 to him, (for he tarried 03427 at Jericho 03405,) he said 0559 to them, Did I not say 0559 to you, Go 03212 not?
19 And the men 0582 of the city 05892 said 0559 to Elisha 0477, Behold, I pray thee, the situation 04186 of this city 05892 is pleasant 02896, as my lord 0113 seeth 07200: but the water 04325 is bad 07451, and the ground 0776 barren 07921. barren: Heb. causing to miscarry
20 And he said 0559, Bring 03947 me a new 02319 cruse 06746, and put 07760 salt 04417 in it. And they brought 03947 it to him.
21 And he went forth 03318 to the spring 04161 of the waters 04325, and cast 07993 the salt 04417 in there, and said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, I have healed 07495 these waters 04325; there shall not be from there any more death 04194 or barren 07921 land.
22 So the waters 04325 were healed 07495 to this day 03117, according to the saying 01697 of Elisha 0477 which he spoke 01696.
23 And he went up 05927 from there to Bethel 01008: and as he was going up 05927 by the way 01870, there came forth 03318 youths 06996, 5288 out of the city 05892, and mocked 07046 him, and said 0559 to him, Go up 05927, thou bald head 07142; go up 05927, thou bald head 07142.
24 And he turned 06437 back 0310, and looked 07200 on them, and cursed 07043 them in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068. And there came forth 03318 two 08147 she bears 01677 out of the wood 03293, and tore 01234 forty 0705 and two 08147 youths 03206 of them.
25 And he went 03212 from there to mount 02022 Carmel 03760, and from there he returned 07725 to Samaria 08111.
1 Now Jehoram 03088 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 in the eighteenth 08083, 6240 year 08141 of Jehoshaphat 03092 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 twelve 08147, 6240 years 08141.
2 And he wrought 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068; but not like his father 01, and like his mother 0517: for he put away 05493 the image 04676 of Baal 01168 that his father 01 had made 06213. image: Heb. statue
3 Nevertheless he cleaved 01692 to the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398; he departed 05493 not from it.
4 And Mesha 04338 king 04428 of Moab 04124 was a sheepmaster 05349, and rendered 07725 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478 an hundred 03967 thousand 0505 lambs 03733, and an hundred 03967 thousand 0505 rams 0352, with the wool 06785.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 was dead 04194, that the king 04428 of Moab 04124 rebelled 06586 against the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
6 And king 04428 Jehoram 03088 went out 03318 of Samaria 08111 the same time 03117, and numbered 06485 all Israel 03478.
7 And he went 03212 and sent 07971 to Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559, The king 04428 of Moab 04124 hath rebelled 06586 against me: wilt thou go 03212 with me against Moab 04124 to battle 04421? And he said 0559, I will go 05927: I am as thou art, my people 05971 as thy people 05971, and my horses 05483 as thy horses 05483.
8 And he said 0559, Which way 01870 shall we go up 05927? And he answered 0559, The way 01870 through the wilderness 04057 of Edom 0123.
9 So the king 04428 of Israel 03478 went 03212, and the king 04428 of Judah 03063, and the king 04428 of Edom 0123: and they made a circuit 05437 of seven 07651 days 03117’ journey 01870: and there was no water 04325 for the army 04264, and for the cattle 0929 that followed 07272 them. that…: Heb. at their feet
10 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559, Alas 0162! that the LORD 03068 hath called 07121 these three 07969 kings 04428 together 07121, to deliver 05414 them into the hand 03027 of Moab 04124!
11 But Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559, Is there not here a prophet 05030 of the LORD 03068, that we may enquire 01875 of the LORD 03068 by him? And one 0259 of the king 04428 of Israel’s 03478 servants 05650 answered 06030 and said 0559, Here is Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202, who poured 03332 water 04325 on the hands 03027 of Elijah 0452.
12 And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559, The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 is 03426 with him. So the king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Jehoshaphat 03092 and the king 04428 of Edom 0123 went down 03381 to him.
13 And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, What have I to do with thee? go 03212 to the prophets 05030 of thy father 01, and to the prophets 05030 of thy mother 0517. And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to him, Nay: for the LORD 03068 hath called 07121 these three 07969 kings 04428 together 07121, to deliver 05414 them into the hand 03027 of Moab 04124.
14 And Elisha 0477 said 0559, As the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975, surely, were it not that 03884 I regard 05375 the presence 06440 of Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063, I would not look 05027 toward thee, nor see 07200 thee.
15 But now bring 03947 me a minstrel 05059. And it came to pass, when the minstrel 05059 played 05059, that the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 came upon him.
16 And he said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Make 06213 this valley 05158 full of ditches 01356.
17 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Ye shall not see 07200 wind 07307, neither shall ye see 07200 rain 01653; yet that valley 05158 shall be filled 04390 with water 04325, that ye may drink 08354, both ye, and your cattle 04735, and your beasts 0929.
18 And this is but a light thing 07043 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he will deliver 05414 the Moabites 04124 also into your hand 03027.
19 And ye shall smite 05221 every fortified 04013 city 05892, and every choice 04004 city 05892, and shall fell 05307 every good 02896 tree 06086, and stop 05640 all wells 04599 of water 04325, and mar 03510 every good 02896 piece 02513 of land with stones 068. mar: Heb. grieve
20 And it came to pass in the morning 01242, when the meat offering 04503 was offered 05927, that, behold, there came 0935 water 04325 by the way 01870 of Edom 0123, and the country 0776 was filled 04390 with water 04325.
21 And when all the Moabites 04124 heard 08085 that the kings 04428 were come up 05927 to fight 03898 against them, they gathered 06817 all that were able to put 02296 on armour 02290, and upward 04605, and stood 05975 in the border 01366. gathered: Heb. were cried togetherput on…: Heb. gird himself with a girdle
22 And they rose early 07925 in the morning 01242, and the sun 08121 shone 02224 upon the water 04325, and the Moabites 04124 saw 07200 the water 04325 on the other side 05048 as red 0122 as blood 01818:
23 And they said 0559, This is blood 01818: the kings 04428 are surely 02717 slain 02717, and they have smitten 05221 one 0376 another 07453: now therefore, Moab 04124, to the spoil 07998. slain: Heb. destroyed
24 And when they came 0935 to the camp 04264 of Israel 03478, the Israelites 03478 rose 06965 and smote 05221 the Moabites 04124, so that they fled 05127 before 06440 them: but they went forward 05221 smiting 05221 the Moabites 04124, even in their country. they went…: or, they smote in it even smiting
25 And they beat down 02040 the cities 05892, and on every good 02896 piece 02513 of land cast 07993 every man 0376 his stone 068, and filled 04390 it; and they stopped 05640 all the wells 04599 of water 04325, and felled 05307 all the good 02896 trees 06086: only in Kirharaseth 07025 they left 07604 the stones 068 of it; but the slingers 07051 went about 05437 it, and smote 05221 it. only in…: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth
26 And when the king 04428 of Moab 04124 saw 07200 that the battle 04421 was too fierce 02388 for him, he took 03947 with him seven 07651 hundred 03967 men 0376 that drew 08025 swords 02719, to break through 01234 to the king 04428 of Edom 0123: but they could 03201 not.
27 Then he took 03947 his eldest 01060 son 01121 that was to reign 04427 in his stead, and offered 05927 him for a burnt offering 05930 upon the wall 02346. And there was great 01419 indignation 07110 against Israel 03478: and they departed 05265 from him, and returned 07725 to their own land 0776.
1 Now there cried 06817 a certain 0259 woman 0802 of the wives 0802 of the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 to Elisha 0477, saying 0559, Thy servant 05650 my husband 0376 is dead 04191; and thou knowest 03045 that thy servant 05650 feared 03373 the LORD 03068: and the creditor 05383 hath come 0935 to take 03947 to my two 08147 sons 03206 to be his slaves 05650.
2 And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to her, What shall I do 06213 for thee? tell 05046 me, what hast 03426 thou in the house 01004? And she said 0559, Thy handmaid 08198 hath not any thing in the house 01004, except a pot 0610 of oil 08081.
3 Then he said 0559, Go 03212, borrow 07592 thee vessels 03627 abroad 02351 of all thy neighbours 07934, even empty 07386 vessels 03627; borrow not a few 04591. borrow not…: or, scant not
4 And when thou hast come in 0935, thou shalt shut 05462 the door 01817 upon thee and upon thy sons 01121, and shalt pour out 03332 into all those vessels 03627, and thou shalt set aside 05265 that which is full 04392.
5 So she went 03212 from him, and shut 05462 the door 01817 upon her and upon 01157 her sons 01121, who 01992 brought 05066 the vessels to her; and she poured out 03332.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels 03627 were full 04390, that she said 0559 to her son 01121, Bring 05066 me yet a vessel 03627. And he said 0559 to her, There is not a vessel 03627 more. And the oil 08081 stopped 05975 flowing.
7 Then she came 0935 and told 05046 the man 0376 of God 0430. And he said 0559, Go 03212, sell 04376 the oil 08081, and pay 07999 thy debt 05386, and live 02421 thou and thy children 01121 on the rest 03498. debt: or, creditor
8 And it fell on a day 03117, that Elisha 0477 passed 05674 to Shunem 07766, where was a great 01419 woman 0802; and she constrained 02388 him to eat 0398 bread 03899. And so it was, that as oft 01767 as he passed by 05674, he turned 05493 in there to eat 0398 bread 03899. it fell on a day: Heb. there was a dayconstrained him: Heb. laid hold on him
9 And she said 0559 to her husband 0376, Behold now, I perceive 03045 that this is an holy 06918 man 0376 of God 0430, who passeth 05674 by us continually 08548.
10 Let us make 06213 a little 06996 chamber 05944, I pray thee, with walls 07023; and let us set 07760 for him there a bed 04296, and a table 07979, and a stool 03678, and a lampstand 04501: and it shall be, when he cometh 0935 to us, that he shall turn 05493 in there.
11 And it fell on a day 03117, that he came 0935 there, and he turned 05493 into the chamber 05944, and lay 07901 there.
12 And he said 0559 to Gehazi 01522 his servant 05288, Call 07121 this Shunammite 07767. And when he had called 07121 her, she stood 05975 before 06440 him.
13 And he said 0559 to him, Say 0559 now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful 02729 for us with all this care 02731; what is to be done 06213 for thee? wouldest 03426 thou be spoken 01696 for to the king 04428, or to the captain 08269 of the host 06635? And she answered 0559, I dwell 03427 among 08432 my own people 05971.
14 And he said 0559, What then is to be done 06213 for her? And Gehazi 01522 answered 0559, Verily 061 she hath no child 01121, and her husband 0376 is old 02204.
15 And he said 0559, Call 07121 her. And when he had called 07121 her, she stood 05975 in the door 06607.
16 And he said 0559, About this season 04150, next year 06256, 2416, thou shalt embrace 02263 a son 01121. And she said 0559, Nay, my lord 0113, thou man 0376 of God 0430, do not lie 03576 to thy handmaid 08198. season: Heb. set time
17 And the woman 0802 conceived 02029, and bore 03205 a son 01121 at that season 04150 that Elisha 0477 had said 01696 to her, according to the set time 06256, 2416.
18 And when the child 03206 was grown 01431, it happened on a day 03117, that he went out 03318 to his father 01 to the reapers 07114.
19 And he said 0559 to his father 01, My head 07218, my head 07218. And he said 0559 to a lad 05288, Carry 05375 him to his mother 0517.
20 And when he had taken 05375 him, and brought 0935 him to his mother 0517, he sat 03427 on her knees 01290 till noon 06672, and then died 04191.
21 And she went up 05927, and laid 07901 him on the bed 04296 of the man 0376 of God 0430, and shut 05462 the door upon him, and went out 03318.
22 And she called 07121 to her husband 0376, and said 0559, Send 07971 me, I pray thee, one 0259 of the young men 05288, and one 0259 of the donkeys 0860, that I may run 07323 to the man 0376 of God 0430, and come again 07725.
23 And he said 0559, Why wilt thou go 01980 to him to day 03117? it is neither new moon 02320, nor sabbath 07676. And she said 0559, It shall be well 07965. well: Heb. peace
24 Then she saddled 02280 a donkey 0860, and said 0559 to her servant 05288, Drive 05090, and go forward 03212; slack 06113 not thy riding 07392 for me, except I bid 0559 thee. slack…: Heb. restrain not for me to ride
25 So she went 03212 and came 0935 to the man 0376 of God 0430 to mount 02022 Carmel 03760. And it came to pass, when the man 0376 of God 0430 saw her afar off 07200, that he said 0559 to Gehazi 01522 his servant 05288, Behold, yonder is that 01975 Shunammite 07767:
26 Run 07323 now, I pray thee, to meet 07125 her, and say 0559 to her, Is it well 07965 with thee? is it well 07965 with thy husband 0376? is it well 07965 with the child 03206? And she answered 0559, It is well 07965.
27 And when she came 0935 to the man 0376 of God 0430 to the hill 02022, she caught 02388 him by the feet 07272: but Gehazi 01522 came near 05066 to thrust her away 01920. And the man 0376 of God 0430 said 0559, Let her alone 07503; for her soul 05315 is sorrowful 04843 within her: and the LORD 03068 hath hid 05956 it from me, and hath not told 05046 me. him…: Heb. by his feetvexed: Heb. bitter
28 Then she said 0559, Did I ask 07592 a son 01121 from my lord 0113? did I not say 0559, Do not deceive 07952 me?
29 Then he said 0559 to Gehazi 01522, Gird up 02296 thy loins 04975, and take 03947 my staff 04938 in thy hand 03027, and go thy way 03212: and if thou shalt meet 04672 any man 0376, greet 01288 him not; and if any 0376 shall greet 01288 thee, answer him not again 06030: and lay 07760 my staff 04938 upon the face 06440 of the child 05288.
30 And the mother 0517 of the child 05288 said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, and as thy soul 05315 liveth 02416, I will not leave 05800 thee. And he arose 06965, and followed 03212, 310 her.
31 And Gehazi 01522 passed on 05674 before 06440 them, and laid 07760 the staff 04938 upon the face 06440 of the child 05288; but there was neither voice 06963, nor hearing 07182. Therefore he went again 07725 to meet 07125 him, and told 05046 him, saying 0559, The child 05288 is not awakened 06974. hearing: Heb. attention
32 And when Elisha 0477 had come 0935 into the house 01004, behold, the child 05288 was dead 04191, and laid 07901 upon his bed 04296.
33 He went in 0935 therefore, and shut 05462 the door 01817 upon them both 08147, and prayed 06419 to the LORD 03068.
34 And he went up 05927, and lay 07901 upon the child 03206, and put 07760 his mouth 06310 upon his mouth 06310, and his eyes 05869 upon his eyes 05869, and his hands 03709 upon his hands 03709: and he stretched 01457 himself upon the child; and the flesh 01320 of the child 03206 became warm 02552.
35 Then he returned 07725, and walked 03212 in the house 01004 to 0259, 2008 and fro 0259, 2008; and went up 05927, and stretched 01457 himself upon him: and the child 05288 sneezed 02237 seven 07651 times 06471, and the child 05288 opened 06491 his eyes 05869. to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither
36 And he called 07121 Gehazi 01522, and said 0559, Call 07121 this Shunammite 07767. So he called 07121 her. And when she had come in 0935 to him, he said 0559, Take up 05375 thy son 01121.
37 Then she went in 0935, and fell 05307 at his feet 07272, and bowed 07812 herself to the ground 0776, and took up 05375 her son 01121, and went out 03318.
38 And Elisha 0477 came again 07725 to Gilgal 01537: and there was a famine 07458 in the land 0776; and the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 were sitting 03427 before 06440 him: and he said 0559 to his servant 05288, Set 08239 on the great 01419 pot 05518, and boil 01310 pottage 05138 for the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030.
39 And one 0259 went out 03318 into the field 07704 to gather 03950 herbs 0219, and found 04672 a wild 07704 vine 01612, and gathered 03950 from it wild 07704 gourds 06498 his lap 0899 full 04393, and came 0935 and shred 06398 them into the pot 05518 of pottage 05138: for they knew 03045 them not.
40 So they poured out 03332 for the men 0582 to eat 0398. And it came to pass, as they were eating 0398 of the pottage 05138, that they cried out 06817, and said 0559, O thou man 0376 of God 0430, there is death 04194 in the pot 05518. And they could 03201 not eat 0398 of it.
41 But he said 0559, Then bring 03947 meal 07058. And he cast 07993 it into the pot 05518; and he said 0559, Pour out 03332 for the people 05971, that they may eat 0398. And there was no harm 01697, 7451 in the pot 05518. harm: Heb. evil thing
42 And there came 0935 a man 0376 from Baalshalisha 01190, and brought 0935 the man 0376 of God 0430 bread 03899 of the firstfruits 01061, twenty 06242 loaves 03899 of barley 08184, and full ears of grain 03759 in its husk 06861. And he said 0559, Give 05414 to the people 05971, that they may eat 0398. the husk…: or, his scrip, or, garment
43 And his servant 08334 said 0559, What, should I set 05414 this before 06440 an hundred 03967 men 0376? He said again 0559, Give 05414 the people 05971, that they may eat 0398: for thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, They shall eat 0398, and shall have some left 03498.
44 So he set 05414 it before 06440 them, and they ate 0398, and left 03498 some, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
1 Now Naaman 05283, captain 08269 of the army 06635 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758, was a great 01419 man 0376 with 06440 his master 0113, and honourable 05375, because by him the LORD 03068 had given 05414 deliverance 08668 to Syria 0758: he was also a mighty 01368 man 0376 in valour 02428, but he was a leper 06879. with: Heb. beforehonourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenancedeliverance: or, victory
2 And the Syrians 0758 had gone out 03318 by companies 01416, and had brought away captive 07617 out of the land 0776 of Israel 03478 a little 06996 maid 05291; and she waited on 06440 Naaman’s 05283 wife 0802. waited…: Heb. was before
3 And she said 0559 to her mistress 01404, I would 0305 that my lord 0113 were with 06440 the prophet 05030 that is in Samaria 08111! for 0227 he would cure 0622 him of his leprosy 06883. with: Heb. beforerecover: Heb. gather in
4 And one went in 0935, and told 05046 his lord 0113, saying 0559, Thus and thus said 01696 the maid 05291 that is of the land 0776 of Israel 03478.
5 And the king 04428 of Syria 0758 said 0559, Go 03212, now 0935, and I will send 07971 a letter 05612 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478. And he departed 03212, and took 03947 with him 03027 ten 06235 talents 03603 of silver 03701, and six 08337 thousand 0505 pieces of gold 02091, and ten 06235 changes 02487 of raiment 0899. with…: Heb. in his hand
6 And he brought 0935 the letter 05612 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, saying 0559, Now when this letter 05612 hath come 0935 to thee, behold, with it I have sent 07971 Naaman 05283 my servant 05650 to thee, that thou mayest cure 0622 him of his leprosy 06883.
7 And it came to pass, when the king 04428 of Israel 03478 had read 07121 the letter 05612, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899, and said 0559, Am I God 0430, to kill 04191 and to make alive 02421, that this man 02088 doth send 07971 to me to cure 0622 a man 0376 of his leprosy 06883? therefore 0389 consider 03045, I pray you, and see 07200 how he seeketh a quarrel 0579 against me.
8 And it was so, when Elisha 0477 the man 0376 of God 0430 had heard 08085 that the king 04428 of Israel 03478 had torn 07167 his clothes 0899, that he sent 07971 to the king 04428, saying 0559, Why hast thou torn 07167 thy clothes 0899? let him come 0935 now to me, and he shall know 03045 that there is 03426 a prophet 05030 in Israel 03478.
9 So Naaman 05283 came 0935 with his horses 05483 and with his chariot 07393, and stood 05975 at the door 06607 of the house 01004 of Elisha 0477.
10 And Elisha 0477 sent 07971 a messenger 04397 to him, saying 0559, Go 01980 and wash 07364 in Jordan 03383 seven 07651 times 06471, and thy flesh 01320 shall come again 07725 to thee, and thou shalt be clean 02891.
11 But Naaman 05283 was furious 07107, and went away 03212, and said 0559, Behold, I thought 0559, He will surely 03318 come out 03318 to me, and stand 05975, and call 07121 on the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 his God 0430, and strike 05130 his hand 03027 over the place 04725, and cure 0622 the leprosy 06879. I thought: Heb. I saidI thought…: or, I said with myself, He will surely come out, etc: Heb. I saidstrike: Heb. move up and down
12 Are not Abana 071, 549 and Pharpar 06554, rivers 05104 of Damascus 01834, better 02896 than all the waters 04325 of Israel 03478? may I not wash 07364 in them, and be clean 02891? So he turned 06437 and went away 03212 in a rage 02534. Abana: or, Amana
13 And his servants 05650 came near 05066, and spoke 01696 to him, and said 0559, My father 01, if the prophet 05030 had bid 01696 thee do some great 01419 thing 01697, wouldest thou not have done 06213 it? how much rather then 0637, when he saith 0559 to thee, Wash 07364, and be clean 02891?
14 Then he went down 03381, and dipped 02881 himself seven 07651 times 06471 in Jordan 03383, according to the saying 01697 of the man 0376 of God 0430: and his flesh 01320 came again 07725 like the flesh 01320 of a little 06996 child 05288, and he was clean 02891.
15 And he returned 07725 to the man 0376 of God 0430, he and all his company 04264, and came 0935, and stood 05975 before 06440 him: and he said 0559, Behold, now I know 03045 that there is no God 0430 in all the earth 0776, but in Israel 03478: now therefore, I pray thee, take 03947 a blessing 01293 from thy servant 05650.
16 But he said 0559, As the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975, I will receive 03947 none. And he urged 06484 him to take 03947 it; but he refused 03985.
17 And Naaman 05283 said 0559, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given 05414 to thy servant 05650 two 06776 mules 06505’ burden 04853 of earth 0127? for thy servant 05650 will henceforth offer 06213 neither burnt offering 05930 nor sacrifice 02077 to other 0312 gods 0430, but to the LORD 03068.
18 In this thing 01697 the LORD 03068 pardon 05545 thy servant 05650, that when my master 0113 goeth 0935 into the house 01004 of Rimmon 07417 to worship 07812 there, and he leaneth 08172 on my hand 03027, and I bow 07812 myself in the house 01004 of Rimmon 07417: when I bow down 07812 myself in the house 01004 of Rimmon 07417, the LORD 03068 pardon 05545 thy servant 05650 in this thing 01697.
19 And he said 0559 to him, Go 03212 in peace 07965. So he departed 03212 from him a little 03530 way 0776. a little…: Heb. a little piece of ground
20 But Gehazi 01522, the servant 05288 of Elisha 0477 the man 0376 of God 0430, said 0559, Behold, my master 0113 hath spared 02820 Naaman 05283 this Syrian 0761, in not receiving 03947 at his hands 03027 that which he brought 0935: but, as the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, I will run 07323 after 0310 him, and take 03947 somewhat 03972 from him.
21 So Gehazi 01522 followed 07291 after 0310 Naaman 05283. And when Naaman 05283 saw 07200 him running 07323 after 0310 him, he came down 05307 from the chariot 04818 to meet 07125 him, and said 0559, Is all well 07965? Is…: Heb. Is there peace?
22 And he said 0559, All is well 07965. My master 0113 hath sent 07971 me, saying 0559, Behold, even now there have come 0935 to me from mount 02022 Ephraim 0669 two 08147 young men 05288 of the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030: give 05414 them, I pray thee, a talent 03603 of silver 03701, and two 08147 changes 02487 of garments 0899.
23 And Naaman 05283 said 0559, Be content 02974, take 03947 two talents 03603. And he urged 06555 him, and bound 06696 two 08147 talents 03603 of silver 03701 in two 08147 bags 02754, with two 08147 changes 02487 of garments 0899, and laid 05414 them upon two 08147 of his servants 05288; and they bore 05375 them before 06440 him.
24 And when he came 0935 to the tower 06076, he took 03947 them from their hand 03027, and bestowed 06485 them in the house 01004: and he let the men 0582 go 07971, and they departed 03212. tower: or, secret place
25 But he went in 0935, and stood 05975 before his master 0113. And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to him, From where 0370 comest thou, Gehazi 01522? And he said 0559, Thy servant 05650 went 01980 nowhere 0575. no whither: Heb. not hither or thither
26 And he said 0559 to him, Went 01980 not my heart 03820 with thee, when the man 0376 turned 02015 again from his chariot 04818 to meet 07125 thee? Is it a time 06256 to receive 03947 money 03701, and to receive 03947 garments 0899, and oliveyards 02132, and vineyards 03754, and sheep 06629, and oxen 01241, and male 05650 and female servants 08198?
27 The leprosy 06883 therefore of Naaman 05283 shall cleave 01692 to thee, and to thy seed 02233 for ever 05769. And he went out 03318 from his presence 06440 a leper 06879 as white as snow 07950.
1 And the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 said 0559 to 06440 Elisha 0477, Behold now, the place 04725 where we dwell 03427 with thee is too small 06862 for us.
2 Let us go 03212, we pray thee, to Jordan 03383, and take 03947 from there every man 0376 a 0259 beam 06982, and let us make 06213 us a place 04725 there, where we may dwell 03427. And he answered 0559, Go 03212 ye.
3 And one 0259 said 0559, Be content 02974, I pray thee, and go 03212 with thy servants 05650. And he answered 0559, I will go 03212.
4 So he went 03212 with them. And when they came 0935 to Jordan 03383, they cut down 01504 wood 06086.
5 But as one 0259 was felling 05307 a beam 06982, the axe head 01270 fell 05307 into the water 04325: and he cried 06817, and said 0559, Alas 0162, master 0113! for it was borrowed 07592. axe head: Heb. iron
6 And the man 0376 of God 0430 said 0559, Where 0575 fell 05307 it? And he showed 07200 him the place 04725. And he cut down 07094 a stick 06086, and cast 07993 it in there; and made the axe head 01270 float 06687.
7 Therefore said 0559 he, Take it up 07311 to thee. And he put out 07971 his hand 03027, and took 03947 it.
8 Then the king 04428 of Syria 0758 warred 03898 against Israel 03478, and took counsel 03289 with his servants 05650, saying 0559, In such 06423 and such 0492 a place 04725 shall be my camp 08466. camp: or, encamping
9 And the man 0376 of God 0430 sent 07971 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, saying 0559, Beware 08104 that thou pass 05674 not such 02088 a place 04725; for there the Syrians 0758 have come down 05185.
10 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 sent 07971 to the place 04725 which the man 0376 of God 0430 told 0559 him and warned 02094 him of, and saved 08104 himself there, not once 0259 nor twice 08147.
11 Therefore the heart 03820 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758 was greatly troubled 05590 for this thing 01697; and he called 07121 his servants 05650, and said 0559 to them, Will ye not show 05046 me which of us is for the king 04428 of Israel 03478?
12 And one 0259 of his servants 05650 said 0559, None, my lord 0113, O king 04428: but Elisha 0477, the prophet 05030 that is in Israel 03478, telleth 05046 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 the words 01697 that thou speakest 01696 in thy bedchamber 02315, 4904. None: Heb. No
13 And he said 0559, Go 03212 and spy 07200 where 0351 he is, that I may send 07971 and bring 03947 him. And it was told 05046 him, saying 0559, Behold, he is in Dothan 01886.
14 Therefore he sent 07971 there horses 05483, and chariots 07393, and a great 03515 host 02428: and they came 0935 by night 03915, and surrounded 05362 the city 05892. great: Heb. heavy
15 And when the servant 08334 of the man 0376 of God 0430 had risen 06965 early 07925, and gone forth 03318, behold, an host 02428 surrounded 05437 the city 05892 both with horses 05483 and chariots 07393. And his servant 05288 said 0559 to him, Alas 0162, my master 0113! how shall we do 06213? the servant: or, the minister
16 And he answered 0559, Fear 03372 not: for they that are with us are more 07227 than they that are with them.
17 And Elisha 0477 prayed 06419, and said 0559, LORD 03068, I pray thee, open 06491 his eyes 05869, that he may see 07200. And the LORD 03068 opened 06491 the eyes 05869 of the young man 05288; and he saw 07200: and, behold, the mountain 02022 was full 04390 of horses 05483 and chariots 07393 of fire 0784 around 05439 Elisha 0477.
18 And when they came down 03381 to him, Elisha 0477 prayed 06419 to the LORD 03068, and said 0559, Smite 05221 this people 01471, I pray thee, with blindness 05575. And he smote 05221 them with blindness 05575 according to the word 01697 of Elisha 0477.
19 And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to them, This is not the way 01870, neither is this 02090 the city 05892: follow 03212, 310 me, and I will bring 03212 you to the man 0376 whom ye seek 01245. But he led 03212 them to Samaria 08111. follow…: Heb. come ye after me
20 And it came to pass, when they had come 0935 into Samaria 08111, that Elisha 0477 said 0559, LORD 03068, open 06491 the eyes 05869 of these men, that they may see 07200. And the LORD 03068 opened 06491 their eyes 05869, and they saw 07200; and, behold, they were in the midst 08432 of Samaria 08111.
21 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 to Elisha 0477, when he saw 07200 them, My father 01, shall I smite 05221 them? shall I smite 05221 them?
22 And he answered 0559, Thou shalt not smite 05221 them: wouldest thou smite 05221 those whom thou hast taken captive 07617 with thy sword 02719 and with thy bow 07198? set 07760 bread 03899 and water 04325 before 06440 them, that they may eat 0398 and drink 08354, and go 03212 to their master 0113.
23 And he prepared 03739 great 01419 provision 03740 for them: and when they had eaten 0398 and drunk 08354, he sent them away 07971, and they went 03212 to their master 0113. So the bands 01416 of Syria 0758 came 0935 no more 03254 into the land 0776 of Israel 03478.
24 And it came to pass after this 0310, that Benhadad 01130 king 04428 of Syria 0758 gathered 06908 all his army 04264, and went up 05927, and besieged 06696 Samaria 08111.
25 And there was a great 01419 famine 07458 in Samaria 08111: and, behold, they besieged 06696 it, until a donkey’s 02543 head 07218 was sold for eighty 08084 pieces of silver 03701, and the fourth part 07255 of a cab 06894 of dove’s dung 01686, 3123, 2755 for five 02568 pieces of silver 03701.
26 And as the king 04428 of Israel 03478 was passing by 05674 upon the wall 02346, there cried 06817 a woman 0802 to him, saying 0559, Help 03467, my lord 0113, O king 04428.
27 And he said 0559, If the LORD 03068 doth not help 03467 thee, how 0370 shall I help 03467 thee? out of the barnfloor 01637, or out of the winepress 03342? If…: or, Let not the LORD save thee
28 And the king 04428 said 0559 to her, What aileth thee? And she answered 0559, This woman 0802 said 0559 to me, Give 05414 thy son 01121, that we may eat 0398 him to day 03117, and we will eat 0398 my son 01121 to morrow 04279.
29 So we boiled 01310 my son 01121, and ate 0398 him: and I said 0559 to her on the next 0312 day 03117, Give 05414 thy son 01121, that we may eat 0398 him: and she hath hid 02244 her son 01121. next: Heb. other
30 And it came to pass, when the king 04428 heard 08085 the words 01697 of the woman 0802, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899; and he passed by 05674 upon the wall 02346, and the people 05971 looked 07200, and, behold, he had sackcloth 08242 beneath 01004 upon his flesh 01320.
31 Then he said 0559, God 0430 do 06213 so and more 03254 also to me, if the head 07218 of Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202 shall stand 05975 on him this day 03117.
32 But Elisha 0477 sat 03427 in his house 01004, and the elders 02205 sat 03427 with him; and the king sent 07971 a man 0376 from before 06440 him: but before the messenger 04397 came 0935 to him, he said 0559 to the elders 02205, See 07200 ye how this son 01121 of a murderer 07523 hath sent 07971 to take away 05493 my head 07218? look 07200, when the messenger 04397 cometh 0935, shut 05462 the door 01817, and hold him fast 03905 at the door 01817: is not the sound 06963 of his master’s 0113 feet 07272 behind 0310 him?
33 And while he yet talked 01696 with them, behold, the messenger 04397 came down 03381 to him: and he said 0559, Behold, this evil 07451 is from the LORD 03068; why should I wait 03176 for the LORD 03068 any longer?
1 Then Elisha 0477 said 0559, Hear 08085 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068; Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, To morrow 04279 about this time 06256 shall a measure 05429 of fine flour 05560 be sold for a shekel 08255, and two measures 05429 of barley 08184 for a shekel 08255, in the gate 08179 of Samaria 08111.
2 Then a lord 07991 on whose hand 03027 the king 04428 leaned 08172 answered 06030 the man 0376 of God 0430, and said 0559, Behold, if the LORD 03068 would make 06213 windows 0699 in heaven 08064, might this thing 01697 be? And he said 0559, Behold, thou shalt see 07200 it with thy eyes 05869, but shalt not eat 0398 of it. a lord…: Heb. a lord which belonged to the king leaning upon his hand
3 And there were four 0702 leprous 06879 men 0582 at the entrance 06607 of the gate 08179: and they said 0559 one 0376 to another 07453, Why sit 03427 we here until we die 04191?
4 If we say 0559, We will enter 0935 into the city 05892, then the famine 07458 is in the city 05892, and we shall die 04191 there: and if we sit still 03427 here, we die 04191 also. Now therefore come 03212, and let us fall 05307 to the army 04264 of the Syrians 0758: if they save us alive 02421, we shall live 02421; and if they kill 04191 us, we shall but die 04191.
5 And they rose 06965 in the twilight 05399, to go 0935 to the camp 04264 of the Syrians 0758: and when they had come 0935 to the edge 07097 of the camp 04264 of Syria 0758, behold, there was no man 0376 there.
6 For the Lord 0136 had made the army 04264 of the Syrians 0758 to hear 08085 a noise 06963 of chariots 07393, and a noise 06963 of horses 05483, even the noise 06963 of a great 01419 army 02428: and they said 0559 one 0376 to another 0251, Lo, the king 04428 of Israel 03478 hath hired 07936 against us the kings 04428 of the Hittites 02850, and the kings 04428 of the Egyptians 04714, to come 0935 upon us.
7 Therefore they arose 06965 and fled 05127 in the twilight 05399, and left 05800 their tents 0168, and their horses 05483, and their donkeys 02543, even the camp 04264 as it was, and fled 05127 for their life 05315.
8 And when these lepers 06879 came 0935 to the edge 07097 of the camp 04264, they went 0935 into one 0259 tent 0168, and ate 0398 and drank 08354, and carried 05375 from there silver 03701, and gold 02091, and raiment 0899, and went 03212 and hid 02934 it; and came again 07725, and entered 0935 into another 0312 tent 0168, and carried 05375 from there also, and went 03212 and hid 02934 it.
9 Then they said 0559 one 0376 to another 07453, We do 06213 not well: this day 03117 is a day 03117 of good tidings 01309, and we hold our peace 02814: if we tarry 02442 till the morning 01242 light 0216, some mischief 05771 will come 04672 upon us: now therefore come 03212, that we may go 0935 and tell 05046 the king’s 04428 household 01004. some…: Heb. we shall find punishment
10 So they came 0935 and called 07121 to the porter 07778 of the city 05892: and they told 05046 him, saying 0559, We came 0935 to the camp 04264 of the Syrians 0758, and, behold, there was no man 0376 there, neither voice 06963 of man 0120, but horses 05483 tied 0631, and donkeys 02543 tied 0631, and the tents 0168 as they were.
11 And he called 07121 the porters 07778; and they told 05046 it to the king’s 04428 house 01004 within 06441.
12 And the king 04428 arose 06965 in the night 03915, and said 0559 to his servants 05650, I will now show 05046 you what the Syrians 0758 have done 06213 to us. They know 03045 that we are hungry 07457; therefore they have gone out 03318 of the camp 04264 to hide 02247 themselves in the field 07704, saying 0559, When they come out 03318 of the city 05892, we shall take 08610 them alive 02416, and get 0935 into the city 05892.
13 And one 0259 of his servants 05650 answered 06030 and said 0559, Let some take 03947, I pray thee, five 02568 of the horses 05483 that remain 07604, which are left 07604 in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude 01995 of Israel 03478 that are left 07604 in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude 01995 of the Israelites 03478 that are consumed 08552:) and let us send 07971 and see 07200. in the city: Heb. in it
14 They took 03947 therefore two 08147 chariot 07393 horses 05483; and the king 04428 sent 07971 after 0310 the host 04264 of the Syrians 0758, saying 0559, Go 03212 and see 07200.
15 And they went 03212 after 0310 them to Jordan 03383: and, lo, all the way 01870 was full 04392 of garments 0899 and vessels 03627, which the Syrians 0758 had cast away 07993 in their haste 02648. And the messengers 04397 returned 07725, and told 05046 the king 04428.
16 And the people 05971 went out 03318, and plundered 0962 the tents 04264 of the Syrians 0758. So a measure 05429 of fine flour 05560 was sold for a shekel 08255, and two measures 05429 of barley 08184 for a shekel 08255, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
17 And the king 04428 appointed 06485 the lord 07991 on whose hand 03027 he leaned 08172 to have the charge of the gate 08179: and the people 05971 trod 07429 upon him in the gate 08179, and he died 04191, as the man 0376 of God 0430 had said 01696, who spoke 01696 when the king 04428 came down 03381 to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man 0376 of God 0430 had spoken 01696 to the king 04428, saying 0559, Two measures 05429 of barley 08184 for a shekel 08255, and a measure 05429 of fine flour 05560 for a shekel 08255, shall be to morrow 04279 about this time 06256 in the gate 08179 of Samaria 08111:
19 And that lord 07991 answered 06030 the man 0376 of God 0430, and said 0559, Now, behold, if the LORD 03068 should make 06213 windows 0699 in heaven 08064, might such a thing 01697 be? And he said 0559, Behold, thou shalt see 07200 it with thy eyes 05869, but shalt not eat 0398 of it.
20 And so it happened to him: for the people 05971 trod 07429 upon him in the gate 08179, and he died 04191.
1 Then Elisha 0477 spoke 01696 to the woman 0802, whose son 01121 he had restored to life 02421, saying 0559, Arise 06965, and go 03212 thou and thy household 01004, and sojourn 01481 wherever 0834 thou canst sojourn 01481: for the LORD 03068 hath called 07121 for a famine 07458; and it shall also come 0935 upon the land 0776 seven 07651 years 08141.
2 And the woman 0802 arose 06965, and did 06213 according to the saying 01697 of the man 0376 of God 0430: and she went 03212 with her household 01004, and sojourned 01481 in the land 0776 of the Philistines 06430 seven 07651 years 08141.
3 And it came to pass at the seven 07651 years 08141’ end 07097, that the woman 0802 returned 07725 from the land 0776 of the Philistines 06430: and she went forth 03318 to appeal 06817 to the king 04428 for her house 01004 and for her land 07704.
4 And the king 04428 talked 01696 with Gehazi 01522 the servant 05288 of the man 0376 of God 0430, saying 0559, Tell 05608 me, I pray thee, all the great things 01419 that Elisha 0477 hath done 06213.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling 05608 the king 04428 how he had restored 02421 a dead body 04191 to life 02421, that, behold, the woman 0802, whose son 01121 he had restored to life 02421, appealed 06817 to the king 04428 for her house 01004 and for her land 07704. And Gehazi 01522 said 0559, My lord 0113, O king 04428, this is the woman 0802, and this is her son 01121, whom Elisha 0477 restored to life 02421.
6 And when the king 04428 asked 07592 the woman 0802, she told 05608 him. So the king 04428 appointed 05414 to her a certain 0259 officer 05631, saying 0559, Restore 07725 all that was hers, and all the fruits 08393 of the field 07704 since the day 03117 that she left 05800 the land 0776, even till now. officer: or, eunuch
7 And Elisha 0477 came 0935 to Damascus 01834; and Benhadad 01130 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 was sick 02470; and it was told 05046 to him, saying 0559, The man 0376 of God 0430 hath come 0935 here 02008.
8 And the king 04428 said 0559 to Hazael 02371, Take 03947 a present 04503 in thy hand 03027, and go 03212, meet 07125 the man 0376 of God 0430, and enquire 01875 of the LORD 03068 by him, saying 0559, Shall I recover 02421 of this disease 02483?
9 So Hazael 02371 went 03212 to meet 07125 him, and took 03947 a present 04503 with him 03027, even of every good thing 02898 of Damascus 01834, forty 0705 camels 01581’ burden 04853, and came 0935 and stood 05975 before 06440 him, and said 0559, Thy son 01121 Benhadad 01130 king 04428 of Syria 0758 hath sent 07971 me to thee, saying 0559, Shall I recover 02421 of this disease 02483? with…: Heb. in his hand
10 And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to him, Go 03212, say 0559 to him, Thou mayest certainly 02421 recover 02421: but the LORD 03068 hath showed 07200 me that he shall surely 04191 die 04191.
11 And he settled 05975 his countenance 06440 steadfastly 07760, until he was ashamed 0954: and the man 0376 of God 0430 wept 01058. stedfastly: Heb. and set it
12 And Hazael 02371 said 0559, Why weepeth 01058 my lord 0113? And he answered 0559, Because I know 03045 the evil 07451 that thou wilt do 06213 to the children 01121 of Israel 03478: their strong holds 04013 wilt thou set 07971 on fire 0784, and their young men 0970 wilt thou slay 02026 with the sword 02719, and wilt dash 07376 their children 05768, and rip up 01234 their women with child 02030.
13 And Hazael 02371 said 0559, But what, is thy servant 05650 a dog 03611, that he should do 06213 this great 01419 thing 01697? And Elisha 0477 answered 0559, The LORD 03068 hath shown 07200 me that thou shalt be king 04428 over Syria 0758.
14 So he departed 03212 from Elisha 0477, and came 0935 to his master 0113; who said 0559 to him, What said 0559 Elisha 0477 to thee? And he answered 0559, He told 0559 me that thou shouldest surely 02421 recover 02421.
15 And it came to pass on the next day 04283, that he took 03947 a thick cloth 04346, and dipped 02881 it in water 04325, and spread 06566 it on his face 06440, so that he died 04191: and Hazael 02371 reigned 04427 in his stead.
16 And in the fifth 02568 year 08141 of Joram 03141 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478, Jehoshaphat 03092 being then king 04428 of Judah 03063, Jehoram 03088 the son 01121 of Jehoshaphat 03092 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began to reign 04427. began…: Heb. reigned
17 Thirty 07970 and two 08147 years 08141 old 01121 was he when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 eight 08083 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389.
18 And he walked 03212 in the way 01870 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478, as did 06213 the house 01004 of Ahab 0256: for the daughter 01323 of Ahab 0256 was his wife 0802: and he did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068.
19 Yet the LORD 03068 would 014 not destroy 07843 Judah 03063 for David 01732 his servant’s 05650 sake, as he promised 0559 him to give 05414 him always 03117 a light 05216, and to his children 01121. light: Heb. candle, or, lamp
20 In his days 03117 Edom 0123 revolted 06586 from under the hand 03027 of Judah 03063, and made 04427 a king 04428 over themselves.
21 So Joram 03141 went over 05674 to Zair 06811, and all the chariots 07393 with him: and he rose 06965 by night 03915, and smote 05221 the Edomites 0123 who surrounded 05437 him, and the captains 08269 of the chariots 07393: and the people 05971 fled 05127 into their tents 0168.
22 Yet Edom 0123 revolted 06586 from under the hand 03027 of Judah 03063 to this day 03117. Then Libnah 03841 revolted 06586 at the same 01931 time 06256.
23 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Joram 03141, 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?
24 And Joram 03141 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732: and Ahaziah 0274 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Ahaziah: also called, Azariah, and Jehoahaz
25 In the twelfth 08147, 6240, 8141 year 08141 of Joram 03141 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478 did Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Jehoram 03088 king 04428 of Judah 03063 begin to reign 04427.
26 Two 08147 and twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 was Ahaziah 0274 when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 one 0259 year 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Athaliah 06271, the daughter 01323 of Omri 06018 king 04428 of Israel 03478. daughter: or, granddaughter
27 And he walked 03212 in the way 01870 of the house 01004 of Ahab 0256, and did 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, as did the house 01004 of Ahab 0256: for he was the son in law 02860 of the house 01004 of Ahab 0256.
28 And he went 03212 with Joram 03141 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 to the war 04421 against Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758 in Ramothgilead 07433, 1568; and the Syrians 0761 wounded 05221 Joram 03141.
29 And king 04428 Joram 03141 went back 07725 to be healed 07495 in Jezreel 03157 of the wounds 04347 which the Syrians 0761 had given 05221 him at Ramah 07414, when he fought 03898 against Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758. And Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Jehoram 03088 king 04428 of Judah 03063 went down 03381 to see 07200 Joram 03141 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 in Jezreel 03157, because he was sick 02470. which…: Heb. wherewith the Syrians had woundedRamah: called Ramothsick: Heb. wounded
1 And Elisha 0477 the prophet 05030 called 07121 one 0259 of the children 01121 of the prophets 05030, and said 0559 to him, Gird up 02296 thy loins 04975, and take 03947 this box 06378 of oil 08081 in thy hand 03027, and go 03212 to Ramothgilead 07433, 1568:
2 And when thou comest 0935 there, find 07200 Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Jehoshaphat 03092 the son 01121 of Nimshi 05250, and go in 0935, and make him arise up 06965 from among 08432 his brethren 0251, and take 0935 him to an inner 02315 chamber 02315; inner…: Heb. chamber in a chamber
3 Then take 03947 the box 06378 of oil 08081, and pour 03332 it on his head 07218, and say 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, I have anointed 04886 thee king 04428 over Israel 03478. Then open 06605 the door 01817, and flee 05127, and tarry 02442 not.
4 So the young man 05288, even the young man 05288 the prophet 05030, went 03212 to Ramothgilead 07433, 1568.
5 And when he came 0935, behold, the captains 08269 of the host 02428 were sitting 03427; and he said 0559, I have an errand 01697 to thee, O captain 08269. And Jehu 03058 said 0559, To which of us all? And he said 0559, To thee, O captain 08269.
6 And he arose 06965, and went 0935 into the house 01004; and he poured 03332 the oil 08081 on his head 07218, and said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, I have anointed 04886 thee king 04428 over the people 05971 of the LORD 03068, even over Israel 03478.
7 And thou shalt smite 05221 the house 01004 of Ahab 0256 thy master 0113, that I may avenge 05358 the blood 01818 of my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, and the blood 01818 of all the servants 05650 of the LORD 03068, at the hand 03027 of Jezebel 0348.
8 For the whole house 01004 of Ahab 0256 shall perish 06: and I will cut off 03772 from Ahab 0256 the males 08366, 7023, both bound 06113 and free 05800 in Israel 03478:
9 And I will make 05414 the house 01004 of Ahab 0256 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:
10 And the dogs 03611 shall eat 0398 Jezebel 0348 in the portion 02506 of Jezreel 03157, and there shall be none to bury 06912 her. And he opened 06605 the door 01817, and fled 05127.
11 Then Jehu 03058 came forth 03318 to the servants 05650 of his lord 0113: and one said 0559 to him, Is all well 07965? Why came 0935 this mad 07696 fellow to thee? And he said 0559 to them, Ye know 03045 the man 0376, and his communication 07879.
12 And they said 0559, It is false 08267; tell 05046 us now. And he said 0559, Thus and thus he spoke 0559 to me, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, I have anointed 04886 thee king 04428 over Israel 03478.
13 Then they hasted 04116, and took 03947 every man 0376 his garment 0899, and put 07760 it under him on the top 01634 of the stairs 04609, and blew 08628 with trumpets 07782, saying 0559, Jehu 03058 is king 04427. is king: Heb. reigneth
14 So Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Jehoshaphat 03092 the son 01121 of Nimshi 05250 conspired 07194 against Joram 03141. (Now Joram 03141 had kept 08104 Ramothgilead 07433, 1568, he and all Israel 03478, because 06440 of Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758.
15 But king 04428 Joram 03088 had returned 07725 to be healed 07495 in Jezreel 03157 of the wounds 04347 which the Syrians 0761 had given 05221 him, when he fought 03898 with Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758.) And Jehu 03058 said 0559, If it is 03426 your minds 05315, then let none 0408 go forth 03318 nor escape 06412 from the city 05892 to go 03212 to tell 05046 it in Jezreel 03157. Joram: Heb. Jehoram but not in verse sixteenhad given: Heb. smotelet none…: Heb. let no escaper go, etc
16 So Jehu 03058 rode in a chariot 07392, and went 03212 to Jezreel 03157; for Joram 03141 lay 07901 there. And Ahaziah 0274 king 04428 of Judah 03063 had come down 03381 to see 07200 Joram 03141.
17 And there stood 05975 a watchman 06822 on the tower 04026 in Jezreel 03157, and he spied 07200 the company 08229 of Jehu 03058 as he came 0935, and said 0559, I see 07200 a company 08229. And Joram 03088 said 0559, Take 03947 an horseman 07395, and send 07971 to meet 07125 them, and let him say 0559, Is it peace 07965?
18 So there went 03212 one on horseback 07392, 5483 to meet 07125 him, and said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Is it peace 07965? And Jehu 03058 said 0559, What hast thou to do with peace 07965? turn 05437 thee behind 0310 me. And the watchman 06822 told 05046, saying 0559, The messenger 04397 came 0935 to them, but he doth not return 07725.
19 Then he sent out 07971 a second 08145 on horseback 07392, 5483, who came 0935 to them, and said 0559, Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Is it peace 07965? And Jehu 03058 answered 0559, What hast thou to do with peace 07965? turn 05437 thee behind 0310 me.
20 And the watchman 06822 told 05046, saying 0559, He came 0935 even to them, and doth not return 07725: and the driving 04491 is like the driving 04491 of Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Nimshi 05250; for he driveth 05090 furiously 07697. driving: or, marchingfuriously: Heb. in madness
21 And Joram 03088 said 0559, Make ready 0631. And his chariot 07393 was made ready 0631. And Joram 03088 king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Ahaziah 0274 king 04428 of Judah 03063 went out 03318, each 0376 in his chariot 07393, and they went out 03318 against 07125 Jehu 03058, and met 04672 him in the portion 02513 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158. Make ready: Heb. Bindmet: Heb. found
22 And it came to pass, when Joram 03088 saw 07200 Jehu 03058, that he said 0559, Is it peace 07965, Jehu 03058? And he answered 0559, What peace 07965, so long as 05704 the harlotries 02183 of thy mother 0517 Jezebel 0348 and her witchcrafts 03785 are so many 07227?
23 And Joram 03088 turned 02015 his hands 03027, and fled 05127, and said 0559 to Ahaziah 0274, There is treachery 04820, O Ahaziah 0274.
24 And Jehu 03058 drew a bow 07198 with his full 04390 strength 03027, and smote 05221 Jehoram 03088 between his arms 02220, and the arrow 02678 went out 03318 at his heart 03820, and he sunk down 03766 in his chariot 07393. drew…: Heb. filled his hand with a bowsunk: Heb. bowed
25 Then said 0559 Jehu to Bidkar 0920 his captain 07991, Take up 05375, and cast 07993 him into the portion 02513 of the field 07704 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158: for remember 02142 how that, when I and thou rode 07392 together 06776 after 0310 Ahab 0256 his father 01, the LORD 03068 laid 05375 this burden 04853 upon him;
26 Surely I saw 07200 yesterday 0570 the blood 01818 of Naboth 05022, and the blood 01818 of his sons 01121, saith 05002 the LORD 03068; and I will repay 07999 thee in this plot 02513, saith 05002 the LORD 03068. Now therefore take 05375 and cast 07993 him into the plot 02513 of ground, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068. blood: Heb. bloodsplat: or, portion
27 But when Ahaziah 0274 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 saw 07200 this, he fled 05127 by the way 01870 of the garden 01588 house 01004. And Jehu 03058 followed 07291, 310 him, and said 0559, Smite 05221 him also in the chariot 04818. And they did so at the ascent of 04608 Gur 01483, which is by Ibleam 02991. And he fled 05127 to Megiddo 04023, and died 04191 there.
28 And his servants 05650 carried 07392 him in a chariot to Jerusalem 03389, and buried 06912 him in his sepulchre 06900 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732.
29 And in the eleventh 0259, 6240, 8141 year 08141 of Joram 03141 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 began Ahaziah 0274 to reign 04427 over Judah 03063.
30 And when Jehu 03058 had come 0935 to Jezreel 03157, Jezebel 0348 heard 08085 of it; and she painted 07760, 6320 her face 05869, and adorned 03190 her head 07218, and looked out 08259 at a window 02474. painted…: Heb. put her eyes in painting
31 And as Jehu 03058 entered 0935 the gate 08179, she said 0559, Had Zimri 02174 peace 07965, who slew 02026 his master 0113?
32 And he lifted up 05375 his face 06440 to the window 02474, and said 0559, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out 08259 to him two 08147 or three 07969 eunuchs 05631. eunuchs: or, chamberlains
33 And he said 0559, Throw her down 08058. So they threw her down 08058: and some of her blood 01818 was sprinkled 05137 on the wall 07023, and on the horses 05483: and he trod her under foot 07429.
34 And when he had come in 0935, he ate 0398 and drank 08354, and said 0559, Go 06485, see now this cursed 0779 woman, and bury 06912 her: for she is a king’s 04428 daughter 01323.
35 And they went 03212 to bury 06912 her: but they found 04672 no more of her than 0518 the skull 01538, and the feet 07272, and the palms 03709 of her hands 03027.
36 Therefore they came again 07725, and told 05046 him. And he said 0559, This is the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by 03027 his servant 05650 Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, saying 0559, In the portion 02506 of Jezreel 03157 shall dogs 03611 eat 0398 the flesh 01320 of Jezebel 0348: by: Heb. by the hand of
37 And the dead body 05038 of Jezebel 0348 shall be as refuse 01828 upon the face 06440 of the field 07704 in the portion 02506 of Jezreel 03157; so that they shall not say 0559, This is Jezebel 0348.
1 And Ahab 0256 had seventy 07657 sons 01121 in Samaria 08111. And Jehu 03058 wrote 03789 letters 05612, and sent 07971 to Samaria 08111, to the rulers 08269 of Jezreel 03157, to the elders 02205, and to them that brought up 0539 Ahab’s 0256 children, saying 0559, them…: Heb. nourishers
2 Now as soon as this letter 05612 cometh 0935 to you, seeing your master’s 0113 sons 01121 are with you, and there are with you chariots 07393 and horses 05483, a fortified 04013 city 05892 also, and armour 05402;
3 Choose 07200 the best 02896 and most fit 03477 of your master’s 0113 sons 01121, and set 07760 him on his father’s 01 throne 03678, and fight 03898 for your master’s 0113 house 01004.
4 But they were exceedingly 03966, 3966 afraid 03372, and said 0559, Behold, two 08147 kings 04428 stood 05975 not before 06440 him: how then shall we stand 05975?
5 And he that was over the house 01004, and he that was over the city 05892, the elders 02205 also, and those who brought up 0539 the children, sent 07971 to Jehu 03058, saying 0559, We are thy servants 05650, and will do 06213 all that thou shalt bid 0559 us; we will not make any 0376 king 04427: do 06213 thou that which is good 02896 in thy eyes 05869.
6 Then he wrote 03789 a letter 05612 the second time 08145 to them, saying 0559, If ye are mine, and if ye will hearken 08085 to my voice 06963, take 03947 ye the heads 07218 of the men 0582 your master’s 0113 sons 01121, and come 0935 to me to Jezreel 03157 by to morrow 04279 this time 06256. Now the king’s 04428 sons 01121, being seventy 07657 persons 0376, were with the great men 01419 of the city 05892, who brought them up 01431. mine: Heb. for me
7 And it came to pass, when the letter 05612 came 0935 to them, that they took 03947 the king’s 04428 sons 01121, and slew 07819 seventy 07657 persons 0376, and put 07760 their heads 07218 in baskets 01731, and sent 07971 them to him to Jezreel 03157.
8 And there came 0935 a messenger 04397, and told 05046 him, saying 0559, They have brought 0935 the heads 07218 of the king’s 04428 sons 01121. And he said 0559, Lay 07760 ye them in two 08147 heaps 06652 at the entrance 06607 of the gate 08179 until the morning 01242.
9 And it came to pass in the morning 01242, that he went out 03318, and stood 05975, and said 0559 to all the people 05971, Ye are righteous 06662: behold, I conspired 07194 against my master 0113, and slew 02026 him: but who slew 05221 all these?
10 Know 03045 now 0645 that there shall fall 05307 to the earth 0776 nothing of the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 concerning the house 01004 of Ahab 0256: for the LORD 03068 hath done 06213 that which he spoke 01696 by 03027 his servant 05650 Elijah 0452. by: Heb. by the hand of
11 So Jehu 03058 slew 05221 all that remained 07604 of the house 01004 of Ahab 0256 in Jezreel 03157, and all his great men 01419, and his kinsmen 03045, and his priests 03548, until he left 07604 him none remaining 08300. kinsfolks: or, acquaintance
12 And he arose 06965 and departed 0935, and came 03212 to Samaria 08111. And as he was at the shearing 07462 house 01004, 1044 in the way 01870, shearing…: Heb. house of shepherds binding sheep
13 Jehu 03058 met 04672 with the brethren 0251 of Ahaziah 0274 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and said 0559, Who are ye? And they answered 0559, We are the brethren 0251 of Ahaziah 0274; and we go down 03381 to greet 07965 the children 01121 of the king 04428 and the children 01121 of the queen 01377. met with: Heb. foundto salute…: Heb. to the peace of, etc
14 And he said 0559, Take 08610 them alive 02416. And they took 08610 them alive 02416, and slew 07819 them at the pit 0953 of the shearing house 01044, even two 08147 and forty 0705 men 0376; neither left 07604 he any 0376 of them.
15 And when he had departed 03212 from there, he came 04672 upon Jehonadab 03082 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394 coming to meet 07125 him: and he greeted 01288 him, and said 0559 to him, Is 03426 thy heart 03824 right 03477, as my heart 03824 is with thy heart 03824? And Jehonadab 03082 answered 0559, It is 03426. If it is, give 05414 me thy hand 03027. And he gave 05414 him his hand 03027; and he took him up 05927 to him into the chariot 04818. lighted on: Heb. foundsaluted: Heb. blessed
16 And he said 0559, Come 03212 with me, and see 07200 my zeal 07068 for the LORD 03068. So they made him ride 07392 in his chariot 07393.
17 And when he came 0935 to Samaria 08111, he slew 05221 all that remained 07604 to Ahab 0256 in Samaria 08111, till he had destroyed 08045 him, according to the saying 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 to Elijah 0452.
18 And Jehu 03058 gathered 06908 all the people 05971 together 06908, and said 0559 to them, Ahab 0256 served 05647 Baal 01168 a little 04592; but Jehu 03058 shall serve 05647 him much 07235.
19 Now therefore call 07121 to me all the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168, all his servants 05647, and all his priests 03548; let none 0376 be missing 06485: for I have a great 01419 sacrifice 02077 to do to Baal 01168; whoever shall be missing 06485, he shall not live 02421. But Jehu 03058 did 06213 it deceitfully 06122, to the intent that he might destroy 06 the worshippers 05647 of Baal 01168.
20 And Jehu 03058 said 0559, Proclaim 06942 a solemn assembly 06116 for Baal 01168. And they proclaimed 07121 it. Proclaim: Heb. Sanctify
21 And Jehu 03058 sent 07971 through all Israel 03478: and all the worshippers 05647 of Baal 01168 came 0935, so that there was not a man 0376 left 07604 that came 0935 not. And they came 0935 into the house 01004 of Baal 01168; and the house 01004 of Baal 01168 was full 04390 from one end 06310 to another 06310. full…: or, so full that they stood mouth to mouth
22 And he said 0559 to him that was over the vestry 04458, Bring forth 03318 vestments 03830 for all the worshippers 05647 of Baal 01168. And he brought them forth 03318 vestments 04403.
23 And Jehu 03058 went 0935, and Jehonadab 03082 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394, into the house 01004 of Baal 01168, and said 0559 to the worshippers 05647 of Baal 01168, Search 02664, and see 07200 that there are 03426 here with you none of the servants 05650 of the LORD 03068, but the worshippers 05647 of Baal 01168 only.
24 And when they went in 0935 to offer 06213 sacrifices 02077 and burnt offerings 05930, Jehu 03058 appointed 07760 eighty 08084 men 0376 without 02351, and said 0559, If any 0376 of the men 0582 whom I have brought 0935 into your hands 03027 escape 04422, he that letteth him go, his life 05315 shall be for the life 05315 of him.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had finished 03615 offering 06213 the burnt offering 05930, that Jehu 03058 said 0559 to the guard 07323 and to the captains 07991, Go in 0935, and slay 05221 them; let none 0376 come forth 03318. And they smote 05221 them with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719; and the guard 07323 and the captains 07991 cast them out 07993, and went 03212 to the city 05892 of the house 01004 of Baal 01168. the edge: Heb. the mouth
26 And they brought forth 03318 the images 04676 out of the house 01004 of Baal 01168, and burned 08313 them. images: Heb. statues
27 And they broke down 05422 the image 04676 of Baal 01168, and broke down 05422 the house 01004 of Baal 01168, and made 07760 it a place of refuse 04163, 4280 to this day 03117.
28 Thus Jehu 03058 destroyed 08045 Baal 01168 out of Israel 03478.
29 Yet from the sins 02399 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398, Jehu 03058 departed 05493 not from after 0310 them, that is, the golden 02091 calves 05695 that were in Bethel 01008, and that were in Dan 01835.
30 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Jehu 03058, Because thou hast done well 02895 in executing 06213 that which is right 03477 in my eyes 05869, and hast done 06213 to the house 01004 of Ahab 0256 according to all that was in my heart 03824, thy children 01121 of the fourth 07243 generation shall sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478.
31 But Jehu 03058 took no heed 08104 to walk 03212 in the law 08451 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 with all his heart 03824: for he departed 05493 not from the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398. took…: Heb. observed not
32 In those days 03117 the LORD 03068 began 02490 to cut off 07096 parts of Israel 03478: and Hazael 02371 smote 05221 them in all the land 01366 of Israel 03478; to cut: Heb. to cut off the ends
33 From Jordan 03383 eastward 04217, 8121, all the land 0776 of Gilead 01568, the Gadites 01425, and the Reubenites 07206, and the Manassites 04520, from Aroer 06177, which is by the river 05158 Arnon 0769, even Gilead 01568 and Bashan 01316. eastward: Heb. toward the rising of the suneven…: or, even to Gilead and Bashan
34 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehu 03058, and all that he did 06213, and all his might 01369, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
35 And Jehu 03058 slept 07901 with his fathers 01: and they buried 06912 him in Samaria 08111. And Jehoahaz 03059 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
36 And the time 03117 that Jehu 03058 reigned 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 was twenty 06242 and eight 08083 years 08141. the time: Heb. the days were
1 And when Athaliah 06271 the mother 0517 of Ahaziah 0274 saw 07200 that her son 01121 was dead 04191, she arose 06965 and destroyed 06 all the seed 02233 royal 04467. seed…: Heb. seed of the kingdom
2 But Jehosheba 03089, the daughter 01323 of king 04428 Joram 03141, sister 0269 of Ahaziah 0274, took 03947 Joash 03101 the son 01121 of Ahaziah 0274, and stole 01589 him from among 08432 the king’s 04428 sons 01121 who were slain 04191; and they hid 05641 him, even him and his nurse 03243, in the bedchamber 02315, 4296 from 06440 Athaliah 06271, so that he was not slain 04191. Jehosheba: also called, JehoshabeathJoash: also called, Jehoash
3 And he was with her hid 02244 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 six 08337 years 08141. And Athaliah 06271 reigned 04427 over the land 0776.
4 And in the seventh 07637 year 08141 Jehoiada 03077 sent 07971 and took 03947 the rulers 08269 over hundreds 03967, with the captains 03746 and the guard 07323, and brought 0935 them to him into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and made 03772 a covenant 01285 with them, and took an oath 07650 of them in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and showed 07200 them the king’s 04428 son 01121.
5 And he commanded 06680 them, saying 0559, This is the thing 01697 that ye shall do 06213; A third part 07992 of you that enter in 0935 on the sabbath 07676 shall even be keepers 08104 of the watch 04931 of the king’s 04428 house 01004;
6 And a third part 07992 shall be at the gate 08179 of Sur 05495; and a third part 07992 at the gate 08179 behind 0310 the guard 07323: so shall ye keep 08104 the watch 04931 of the house 01004, that it be not broken down 04535. that…: or, from breaking up
7 And two 08147 parts 03027 of all you that go forth 03318 on the sabbath 07676, even they shall keep 08104 the watch 04931 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 about 0413 the king 04428. parts: or, companies: Heb. hands
8 And ye shall surround 05362 the king 04428 on all sides 05439, every man 0376 with his weapons 03627 in his hand 03027: and he that cometh 0935 within the ranks 07713, let him be slain 04191: and be ye with the king 04428 as he goeth out 03318 and as he cometh in 0935.
9 And the captains 08269 over the hundreds 03967 did 06213 according to all things that Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548 commanded 06680: and they took 03947 every man 0376 his men 0582 that were to come in 0935 on the sabbath 07676, with them that should go out 03318 on the sabbath 07676, and came 0935 to Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548.
10 And to the captains 08269 over hundreds 03967 the priest 03548 gave 05414 king 04428 David’s 01732 spears 02595 and shields 07982, that were in the temple 01004 of the LORD 03068.
11 And the guard 07323 stood 05975, every man 0376 with his weapons 03627 in his hand 03027, around 05439 the king 04428, from the right 03233 corner 03802 of the temple 01004 to the left 08042 corner 03802 of the temple 01004, along by the altar 04196 and the temple 01004. corner: Heb. shoulder
12 And he brought forth 03318 the king’s 04428 son 01121, and put 05414 the crown 05145 upon him, and gave him the testimony 05715; and they made him king 04427, and anointed 04886 him; and they clapped 05221 their hands 03709, and said 0559, God save 02421 the king 04428. God…: Heb. Let the king live
13 And when Athaliah 06271 heard 08085 the noise 06963 of the guard 07323 and of the people 05971, she came 0935 to the people 05971 into the temple 01004 of the LORD 03068.
14 And when she looked 07200, behold, the king 04428 stood 05975 by a pillar 05982, as the manner 04941 was, and the princes 08269 and the trumpeters 02689 by the king 04428, and all the people 05971 of the land 0776 rejoiced 08056, and blew 08628 with trumpets 02689: and Athaliah 06271 tore 07167 her clothes 0899, and cried 07121, Treason 07195, Treason 07195.
15 But Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548 commanded 06680 the captains 08269 of the hundreds 03967, the officers 06485 of the host 02428, and said 0559 to them, Have her forth 03318 beyond 01004 the ranks 07713: and him that followeth 0935, 310 her kill 04191 with the sword 02719. For the priest 03548 had said 0559, Let her not be slain 04191 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
16 And they laid 07760 hands 03027 on her; and she went 0935 by the way 01870 by which the horses 05483 came 03996 into the king’s 04428 house 01004: and there was she slain 04191.
17 And Jehoiada 03077 made 03772 a covenant 01285 between the LORD 03068 and the king 04428 and the people 05971, that they should be the LORD’S 03068 people 05971; between the king 04428 also and the people 05971.
18 And all the people 05971 of the land 0776 went 0935 into the house 01004 of Baal 01168, and broke it down 05422; his altars 04196 and his images 06754 they broke wholly 03190 in pieces 07665, and slew 02026 Mattan 04977 the priest 03548 of Baal 01168 before 06440 the altars 04196. And the priest 03548 appointed 07760 officers 06485, 6486 over the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. officers: Heb. offices
19 And he took 03947 the rulers 08269 over hundreds 03967, and the captains 03746, and the guard 07323, and all the people 05971 of the land 0776; and they brought down 03381 the king 04428 from the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and came 0935 by the way 01870 of the gate 08179 of the guard 07323 to the king’s 04428 house 01004. And he sat 03427 on the throne 03678 of the kings 04428.
20 And all the people 05971 of the land 0776 rejoiced 08055, and the city 05892 was in quiet 08252: and they slew 04191 Athaliah 06271 with the sword 02719 beside the king’s 04428 house 01004.
21 Seven 07651 years 08141 old 01121 was Jehoash 03060 when he began to reign 04427.
1 In the seventh 07651 year 08141 of Jehu 03058 Jehoash 03060 began to reign 04427; and forty 0705 years 08141 reigned 04427 he in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Zibiah 06645 of Beersheba 0884.
2 And Jehoash 03060 did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 all his days 03117 in which Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548 instructed 03384 him.
3 But the high places 01116 were not taken away 05493: the people 05971 still sacrificed 02076 and burnt incense 06999 in the high places 01116.
4 And Jehoash 03060 said 0559 to the priests 03548, All the money 03701 of the dedicated things 06944 that is brought 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, even the money 03701 of every one 0376 that passeth 05674 the account, the money 03701 of every man’s 05315 assessment 06187, and all the money 03701 that cometh 05927 into any man’s 0376 heart 03820 to bring 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, dedicated things: or, holy things: Heb. holinessesthat every…: Heb. of the souls of his estimationcometh…: Heb. ascendeth upon the heart of a man
5 Let the priests 03548 take 03947 it to them, every man 0376 of his acquaintance 04378: and let them repair 02388 the breaches 0919 of the house 01004, wherever any breach 0919 shall be found 04672.
6 But it was so, that in the three 07969, 8141 and twentieth 06242 year 08141 of king 04428 Jehoash 03060 the priests 03548 had not repaired 02388 the breaches 0919 of the house 01004. three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year
7 Then king 04428 Jehoash 03060 called 07121 for Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548, and the other priests 03548, and said 0559 to them, Why repair 02388 ye not the breaches 0919 of the house 01004? now therefore receive 03947 no more money 03701 of your acquaintance 04378, but deliver 05414 it for the breaches 0919 of the house 01004.
8 And the priests 03548 consented 0225 to receive 03947 no 01115 more money 03701 of the people 05971, neither 01115 to repair 02388 the breaches 0919 of the house 01004.
9 But Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548 took 03947 a 0259 chest 0727, and bored 05344 a hole 02356 in the lid 01817 of it, and set 05414 it beside 0681 the altar 04196, on the right side 03225 as one 0376 cometh 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: and the priests 03548 that kept 08104 the door 05592 put 05414 in it all the money 03701 that was brought 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. door: Heb. threshold
10 And it was so, when they saw 07200 that there was much 07227 money 03701 in the chest 0727, that the king’s 04428 scribe 05608 and the high 01419 priest 03548 came up 05927, and they put up in bags 06696, and counted 04487 the money 03701 that was found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. scribe: or, secretaryput…: Heb. bound up
11 And they gave 05414 the money 03701, being counted 08505, into the hands 03027 of them that did 06213 the work 04399, that had the oversight 06485 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: and they paid it out 03318 to the carpenters 02796, 6086 and builders 01129, that wrought 06213 upon the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, laid…: Heb. brought it forth

13 Yet there were not made 06213 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 bowls 05592 of silver 03701, snuffers 04212, basons 04219, trumpets 02689, any vessels 03627 of gold 02091, or vessels 03627 of silver 03701, of the money 03701 that was brought 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068:
14 But they gave 05414 that to the workmen 04399, 6213, and repaired 02388 with it the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
15 Moreover they reckoned 02803 not with the men 0582, into whose hand 03027 they delivered 05414 the money 03701 to be bestowed 05414 on workmen 04399: for they dealt 06213 faithfully 0530.
16 The trespass 0817 money 03701 and sin 02403 money 03701 was not brought 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: it was the priests 03548’.
17 Then Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758 went up 05927, and fought 03898 against Gath 01661, and took 03920 it: and Hazael 02371 set 07760 his face 06440 to go up 05927 to Jerusalem 03389.
18 And Jehoash 03060 king 04428 of Judah 03063 took 03947 all the hallowed things 06944 that Jehoshaphat 03092, and Jehoram 03088, and Ahaziah 0274, his fathers 01, kings 04428 of Judah 03063, had dedicated 06942, and his own hallowed things 06944, and all the gold 02091 that was found 04672 in the treasuries 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and in the king’s 04428 house 01004, and sent 07971 it to Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758: and he went away 05927 from Jerusalem 03389. went…: Heb. went up
19 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Joash 03101, 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?
20 And his servants 05650 arose 06965, and made 07194 a conspiracy 07195, and slew 05221 Joash 03101 in the house 01004 of Millo 04407, 1037, which goeth down 03381 to Silla 05538. the house…: or, Bethmillo

1 In the three 07969, 8141 and twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Joash 03101 the son 01121 of Ahaziah 0274 king 04428 of Judah 03063 Jehoahaz 03059 the son 01121 of Jehu 03058 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111, and reigned seventeen 07651, 6240 years 08141. three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year
2 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and followed 03212, 310 the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398; he departed 05493 not from it. followed: Heb. walked after
3 And the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 was kindled 02734 against Israel 03478, and he delivered 05414 them into the hand 03027 of Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758, and into the hand 03027 of Benhadad 01130 the son 01121 of Hazael 02371, all their days 03117.
4 And Jehoahaz 03059 besought 02470 the LORD 03068, and the LORD 03068 hearkened 08085 to 06440 him: for he saw 07200 the oppression 03906 of Israel 03478, because the king 04428 of Syria 0758 oppressed 03905 them.
5 (And the LORD 03068 gave 05414 Israel 03478 a saviour 03467, so that they went out 03318 from under the hand 03027 of the Syrians 0758: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 dwelt 03427 in their tents 0168, as in times past 08032, 8543. as beforetime: Heb. as yesterday, and third day
6 Nevertheless they departed 05493 not from the sins 02403 of the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, who made Israel 03478 sin 02398, but walked 01980 in them: and there remained 05975 the grove 0842 also in Samaria 08111.) walked: Heb. he walkedremained: Heb. stood
7 Neither did he leave 07604 of the people 05971 to Jehoahaz 03059 but fifty 02572 horsemen 06571, and ten 06235 chariots 07393, and ten 06235 thousand 0505 footmen 07273; for the king 04428 of Syria 0758 had destroyed 06 them, and had made 07760 them like the dust 06083 by threshing 01758.
8 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehoahaz 03059, and all that 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?
9 And Jehoahaz 03059 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and they buried 06912 him in Samaria 08111: and Joash 03101 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Joash: also called, Jehoash
10 In the thirty 07970, 8141 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Joash 03101 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Jehoash 03060 the son 01121 of Jehoahaz 03059 to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111, and he reigned sixteen 08337, 6240 years 08141.
11 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068; he departed 05493 not from all the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 sin 02398: but he walked 01980 in them.
12 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Joash 03101, and all that he did 06213, and his might 01369 with which he fought 03898 against Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
13 And Joash 03101 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and Jeroboam 03379 sat 03427 upon his throne 03678: and Joash 03101 was buried 06912 in Samaria 08111 with the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
14 Now Elisha 0477 had fallen sick 02470 of his disease 02483 of which he died 04191. And Joash 03101 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 came down 03381 to him, and wept 01058 over his face 06440, and said 0559, O my father 01, my father 01, the chariot 07393 of Israel 03478, and its horsemen 06571.
15 And Elisha 0477 said 0559 to him, Take 03947 bow 07198 and arrows 02671. And he took 03947 to him bow 07198 and arrows 02671.
16 And he said 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, Put 07392 thy hand 03027 upon the bow 07198. And he put 07392 his hand 03027 upon it: and Elisha 0477 put 07760 his hands 03027 upon the king’s 04428 hands 03027. Put thine…: Heb. Make thine hand to ride
17 And he said 0559, Open 06605 the window 02474 eastward 06924. And he opened 06605 it. Then Elisha 0477 said 0559, Shoot 03384. And he shot 03384. And he said 0559, The arrow 02671 of the LORD’S 03068 deliverance 08668, and the arrow 02671 of deliverance 08668 from Syria 0758: for thou shalt smite 05221 the Syrians 0758 in Aphek 0663, till thou hast consumed 03615 them.
18 And he said 0559, Take 03947 the arrows 02671. And he took 03947 them. And he said 0559 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, Smite 05221 upon the ground 0776. And he smote 05221 three times 07969, 6471, and stopped 05975.
19 And the man 0376 of God 0430 was angry 07107 with him, and said 0559, Thou shouldest have smitten 05221 five 02568 or six 08337 times 06471; then hadst thou smitten 05221 Syria 0758 till thou hadst consumed 03615 it: though now thou shalt smite 05221 Syria 0758 but three times 07969, 6471.
20 And Elisha 0477 died 04191, and they buried 06912 him. And the bands 01416 of the Moabites 04124 invaded 0935 the land 0776 at the coming in 0935 of the year 08141.
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying 06912 a man 0376, that, behold, they spied 07200 a band 01416 of men; and they cast 07993 the man 0376 into the sepulchre 06913 of Elisha 0477: and when the man 0376 was let down 03212, and touched 05060 the bones 06106 of Elisha 0477, he revived 02421, and stood 06965 on his feet 07272. was…: Heb. went down
22 But Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758 oppressed 03905 Israel 03478 all the days 03117 of Jehoahaz 03059.
23 And the LORD 03068 was gracious 02603 to them, and had compassion 07355 on them, and had respect 06437 to them, because of 04616 his covenant 01285 with Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and Jacob 03290, and would 014 not destroy 07843 them, neither did he cast 07993 them from his presence 06440 as yet 05704. presence: Heb. face
24 So Hazael 02371 king 04428 of Syria 0758 died 04191; and Benhadad 01130 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
25 And Jehoash 03060 the son 01121 of Jehoahaz 03059 took 03947 again 07725 from the hand 03027 of Benhadad 01130 the son 01121 of Hazael 02371 the cities 05892, which he had taken 03947 from the hand 03027 of Jehoahaz 03059 his father 01 by war 04421. Three 07969 times 06471 Joash 03101 smote 05221 him, and recovered 07725 the cities 05892 of Israel 03478. took…: Heb. returned and took
1 In the second 08147 year 08141 of Joash 03101 son 01121 of Jehoahaz 03099 king 04428 of Israel 03478 reigned 04427 Amaziah 0558 the son 01121 of Joash 03101 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
2 He was twenty 06242 and five 02568 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 twenty 06242 and nine 08672 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Jehoaddan 03086 of Jerusalem 03389.
3 And he did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, yet 07535 not like David 01732 his father 01: he did 06213 according to all things as Joash 03101 his father 01 did 06213.
4 But the high places 01116 were not taken away 05493: as yet 05750 the people 05971 sacrificed 02076 and burnt incense 06999 on the high places 01116.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom 04467 was confirmed 02388 in his hand 03027, that he slew 05221 his servants 05650 who had slain 05221 the king 04428 his father 01.
6 But the children 01121 of the murderers 05221 he slew 04191 not: according to that which is written 03789 in the book 05612 of the law 08451 of Moses 04872, in which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680, saying 0559, The fathers 01 shall not be put to death 04191 for the children 01121, nor the children 01121 be put to death 04191 for the fathers 01; but every man 0376 shall be put to death 04191 for his own sin 02399.
7 He slew 05221 of Edom 0123 in the valley 01516 of salt 04417 ten 06235 thousand 0505, and took 08610 Selah 05554 by war 04421, and called 07121 the name 08034 of it Joktheel 03371 to this day 03117. Selah: or, the rock
8 Then Amaziah 0558 sent 07971 messengers 04397 to Jehoash 03060, the son 01121 of Jehoahaz 03059 son 01121 of Jehu 03058, king 04428 of Israel 03478, saying 0559, Come 03212, let us look 07200 one another in the face 06440.
9 And Jehoash 03060 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 sent 07971 to Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559, The thistle 02336 that was in Lebanon 03844 sent 07971 to the cedar 0730 that was in Lebanon 03844, saying 0559, Give 05414 thy daughter 01323 to my son 01121 for a wife 0802: and there passed 05674 by a wild 07704 beast 02416 that was in Lebanon 03844, and trod down 07429 the thistle 02336.
10 Thou hast indeed 05221 smitten 05221 Edom 0123, and thy heart 03820 hath lifted thee up 05375: glory 03513 of this, and tarry 03427 at home 01004: for why shouldest thou meddle 01624 to thy harm 07451, that thou shouldest fall 05307, even thou, and Judah 03063 with thee? at home: Heb. at thy house
11 But Amaziah 0558 would not hear 08085. Therefore Jehoash 03060 king 04428 of Israel 03478 went up 05927; and he and Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063 looked 07200 one another in the face 06440 at Bethshemesh 01053, which belongeth to Judah 03063.
12 And Judah 03063 was smitten 05062 by 06440 Israel 03478; and they fled 05127 every man 0376 to their tents 0168. put…: Heb. smitten
13 And Jehoash 03060 king 04428 of Israel 03478 took 08610 Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063, the son 01121 of Jehoash 03060 the son 01121 of Ahaziah 0274, at Bethshemesh 01053, and came 0935 to Jerusalem 03389, and broke down 06555 the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 from the gate 08179 of Ephraim 0669 to the corner 06438 gate 08179, four 0702 hundred 03967 cubits 0520.
14 And he took 03947 all the gold 02091 and silver 03701, and all the vessels 03627 found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and in the treasuries 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, and hostages 01121, 8594, and returned 07725 to Samaria 08111.
15 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehoash 03060 which he did 06213, and his might 01369, and how he fought 03898 with Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
16 And Jehoash 03060 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in Samaria 08111 with the kings 04428 of Israel 03478; and Jeroboam 03379 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
17 And Amaziah 0558 the son 01121 of Joash 03101 king 04428 of Judah 03063 lived 02421 after 0310 the death 04194 of Jehoash 03060 son 01121 of Jehoahaz 03059 king 04428 of Israel 03478 fifteen 02568, 6240 years 08141.
18 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Amaziah 0558, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
19 Now they made 07194 a conspiracy 07195 against him in Jerusalem 03389: and he fled 05127 to Lachish 03923; but they sent 07971 after 0310 him to Lachish 03923, and slew 04191 him there.
20 And they brought 05375 him on horses 05483: and he was buried 06912 at Jerusalem 03389 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732.
21 And all the people 05971 of Judah 03063 took 03947 Azariah 05838, who was sixteen 08337, 6240 years 08141 old 01121, and made him king 04427 instead of his father 01 Amaziah 0558. Azariah: also called, Uzziah
22 He built 01129 Elath 0359, and restored 07725 it to Judah 03063, after 0310 that the king 04428 slept 07901 with his fathers 01.
23 In the fifteenth 02568, 6240, 8141 year 08141 of Amaziah 0558 the son 01121 of Joash 03101 king 04428 of Judah 03063 Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Joash 03101 king 04428 of Israel 03478 began to reign 04427 in Samaria 08111, and reigned forty 0705 and one 0259 years 08141.
24 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he departed 05493 not from all the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
25 He restored 07725 the land 01366 of Israel 03478 from the entering 0935 of Hamath 02574 to the sea 03220 of the plain 06160, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, which he spoke 01696 by the hand 03027 of his servant 05650 Jonah 03124, the son 01121 of Amittai 0573, the prophet 05030, who was of Gathhepher 01662.
26 For the LORD 03068 saw 07200 the affliction 06040 of Israel 03478, that it was very 03966 bitter 04784: for there was not 0657 any shut up 06113, nor any left 05800, nor any helper 05826 for Israel 03478.
27 And the LORD 03068 said 01696 not that he would blot out 04229 the name 08034 of Israel 03478 from under heaven 08064: but he saved 03467 them by the hand 03027 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Joash 03101.
28 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jeroboam 03379, and all that he did 06213, and his might 01369, how he warred 03898, and how he recovered 07725 Damascus 01834, and Hamath 02574, which belonged to Judah 03063, for Israel 03478, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
29 And Jeroboam 03379 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, even with the kings 04428 of Israel 03478; and Zachariah 02148 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
1 In the twenty 06242, 8141 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Jeroboam 03379 king 04428 of Israel 03478 began Azariah 05838 son 01121 of Amaziah 0558 king 04428 of Judah 03063 to reign 04427. Azariah: also called, Uzziah
2 Sixteen 08337, 6240 years 08141 old 01121 was he when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 two 08147 and fifty 02572 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Jecholiah 03203 of Jerusalem 03389.
3 And he did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that his father 01 Amaziah 0558 had done 06213;
4 Except that the high places 01116 were not removed 05493: the people 05971 sacrificed 02076 and burnt incense 06999 still on the high places 01116.
5 And the LORD 03068 smote 05060 the king 04428, so that he was a leper 06879 to the day 03117 of his death 04194, and dwelt 03427 in a separate 02669 house 01004. And Jotham 03147 the king’s 04428 son 01121 was over the house 01004, judging 08199 the people 05971 of the land 0776.
6 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Azariah 05838, 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?
7 So Azariah 05838 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and they buried 06912 him with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732: and Jotham 03147 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
8 In the thirty 07970, 8141 and eighth 08083 year 08141 of Azariah 05838 king 04428 of Judah 03063 did Zachariah 02148 the son 01121 of Jeroboam 03379 reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 six 08337 months 02320.
9 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, as his fathers 01 had done 06213: he departed 05493 not from the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
10 And Shallum 07967 the son 01121 of Jabesh 03003 conspired 07194 against him, and smote 05221 him before 06905 the people 05971, and slew 04191 him, and reigned 04427 in his stead.
11 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Zachariah 02148, behold, they are written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
12 This was the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which he spoke 01696 to Jehu 03058, saying 0559, Thy sons 01121 shall sit 03427 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478 to the fourth 07243 generation. And so it came to pass.
13 Shallum 07967 the son 01121 of Jabesh 03003 began to reign 04427 in the nine 08672 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of Uzziah 05818 king 04428 of Judah 03063; and he reigned 04427 a full 03117 month 03391 in Samaria 08111. Uzziah: Gr. Oziasa full…: Heb. a month of days
14 For Menahem 04505 the son 01121 of Gadi 01424 went up 05927 from Tirzah 08656, and came 0935 to Samaria 08111, and smote 05221 Shallum 07967 the son 01121 of Jabesh 03003 in Samaria 08111, and slew 04191 him, and reigned 04427 in his stead.
15 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Shallum 07967, and his conspiracy 07195 which he made 07194, behold, they are written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
16 Then Menahem 04505 smote 05221 Tiphsah 08607, and all that were there, and its land 01366 from Tirzah 08656: because they opened 06605 not to him, therefore he smote 05221 it; and all the women there that were with child 02030 he ripped up 01234.
17 In the nine 08672, 8141 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of Azariah 05838 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Menahem 04505 the son 01121 of Gadi 01424 to reign 04427 over Israel 03478, and reigned ten 06235 years 08141 in Samaria 08111.
18 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he departed 05493 not all his days 03117 from the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
19 And Pul 06322 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 came 0935 against the land 0776: and Menahem 04505 gave 05414 Pul 06322 a thousand 0505 talents 03603 of silver 03701, that his hand 03027 might be with him to confirm 02388 the kingdom 04467 in his hand 03027.
20 And Menahem 04505 exacted 03318 the money 03701 of Israel 03478, even of all the mighty men 01368 of wealth 02428, of each 0259 man 0376 fifty 02572 shekels 08255 of silver 03701, to give 05414 to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804. So the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 turned back 07725, and stayed 05975 not there in the land 0776. exacted: Heb. caused to come forth
21 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Menahem 04505, 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?
22 And Menahem 04505 slept 07901 with his fathers 01; and Pekahiah 06494 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
23 In the fiftieth 02572, 8141 year 08141 of Azariah 05838 king 04428 of Judah 03063 Pekahiah 06494 the son 01121 of Menahem 04505 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111, and reigned two years 08141.
24 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he departed 05493 not from the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
25 But Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425, a captain 07991 of his, conspired 07194 against him, and smote 05221 him in Samaria 08111, in the palace 0759 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, with Argob 0709 and Arieh 0745, and with him fifty 02572 men 0376 of the Gileadites 01121, 1569: and he killed 04191 him, and reigned 04427 in his stead.
26 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Pekahiah 06494, and all that he did 06213, behold, they are written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
27 In the two 08147, 8141 and fiftieth 02572 year 08141 of Azariah 05838 king 04428 of Judah 03063 Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425 began to reign 04427 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111, and reigned twenty 06242 years 08141.
28 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he departed 05493 not from the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398.
29 In the days 03117 of Pekah 06492 king 04428 of Israel 03478 came 0935 Tiglathpileser 08407 king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and took 03947 Ijon 05859, and Abelbethmaachah 062, and Janoah 03239, and Kedesh 06943, and Hazor 02674, and Gilead 01568, and Galilee 01551, all the land 0776 of Naphtali 05321, and carried them captive 01540 to Assyria 0804.
30 And Hoshea 01954 the son 01121 of Elah 0425 made 07194 a conspiracy 07195 against Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425, and smote 05221 him, and slew 04191 him, and reigned 04427 in his stead, in the twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Jotham 03147 the son 01121 of Uzziah 05818.
31 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Pekah 06492, and all that he did 06213, behold, they are written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
32 In the second 08147 year 08141 of Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425 king 04428 of Israel 03478 began Jotham 03147 the son 01121 of Uzziah 05818 king 04428 of Judah 03063 to reign 04427.
33 Five 02568 and twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 was he when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 sixteen 08337, 6240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Jerusha 03388, the daughter 01323 of Zadok 06659.
34 And he did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068: he did 06213 according to all that his father 01 Uzziah 05818 had done 06213.
35 Yet the high places 01116 were not removed 05493: the people 05971 sacrificed 02076 and burned incense 06999 still in the high places 01116. He built 01129 the higher 05945 gate 08179 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
36 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jotham 03147, 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?
37 In those days 03117 the LORD 03068 began 02490 to send 07971 against Judah 03063 Rezin 07526 the king 04428 of Syria 0758, and Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425.
38 And Jotham 03147 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 Ahaz 0271 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
1 In the seventeenth 07651, 6240, 8141 year 08141 of Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425 Ahaz 0271 the son 01121 of Jotham 03147 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began to reign 04427.
2 Twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 was Ahaz 0271 when he began to reign 04427, and reigned 04427 sixteen 08337, 6240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389, and did 06213 not that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 his God 0430, like David 01732 his father 01.
3 But he walked 03212 in the way 01870 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478, and even made his son 01121 to pass through 05674 the fire 0784, according to the abominations 08441 of the heathen 01471, whom the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 from before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
4 And he sacrificed 02076 and burnt incense 06999 in the high places 01116, and on the hills 01389, and under every green 07488 tree 06086.
5 Then Rezin 07526 king 04428 of Syria 0758 and Pekah 06492 son 01121 of Remaliah 07425 king 04428 of Israel 03478 came up 05927 to Jerusalem 03389 to war 04421: and they besieged 06696 Ahaz 0271, but could 03201 not overcome 03898 him.
6 At that time 06256 Rezin 07526 king 04428 of Syria 0758 recovered 07725 Elath 0359 to Syria 0758, 130, and drove 05394 the Jews 03064 from Elath 0359: and the Syrians 0726 came 0935 to Elath 0359, and have dwelt 03427 there to this day 03117. from Elath: Heb. from Eloth
7 So Ahaz 0271 sent 07971 messengers 04397 to Tiglathpileser 08407 king 04428 of Assyria 0804, saying 0559, I am thy servant 05650 and thy son 01121: come up 05927, and save 03467 me from the hand 03709 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758, and from the hand 03709 of the king 04428 of Israel 03478, who rise up 06965 against me.
8 And Ahaz 0271 took 03947 the silver 03701 and gold 02091 that was found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and in the treasuries 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, and sent 07971 it for a present 07810 to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
9 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 hearkened 08085 to him: for the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 went up 05927 against Damascus 01834, and took 08610 it, and carried the people of it captive 01540 to Kir 07024, and slew 04191 Rezin 07526. Damascus: Heb. Dammesek
10 And king 04428 Ahaz 0271 went 03212 to Damascus 01834 to meet 07125 Tiglathpileser 08407 king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and saw 07200 an altar 04196 that was at Damascus 01834: and king 04428 Ahaz 0271 sent 07971 to Urijah 0223 the priest 03548 the fashion 01823 of the altar 04196, and the pattern 08403 of it, according to all the workmanship 04639 of it. Damascus: Heb. Dammesek
11 And Urijah 0223 the priest 03548 built 01129 an altar 04196 according to all that king 04428 Ahaz 0271 had sent 07971 from Damascus 01834: so Urijah 0223 the priest 03548 made 06213 it before king 04428 Ahaz 0271 came 0935 from Damascus 01834.
12 And when the king 04428 had come 0935 from Damascus 01834, the king 04428 saw 07200 the altar 04196: and the king 04428 approached 07126 to the altar 04196, and offered 05927 on it.
13 And he burnt 06999 his burnt offering 05930 and his meat offering 04503, and poured 05258 his drink offering 05262, and sprinkled 02236 the blood 01818 of his peace offerings 08002, upon the altar 04196. his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his
14 And he brought 07126 also the brasen 05178 altar 04196, which was before 06440 the LORD 03068, from the front 06440 of the house 01004, from between the altar 04196 and the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and put 05414 it on the north 06828 side 03409 of the altar 04196.
15 And king 04428 Ahaz 0271 commanded 06680 Urijah 0223 the priest 03548, saying 0559, Upon the great 01419 altar 04196 burn 06999 the morning 01242 burnt offering 05930, and the evening 06153 meat offering 04503, and the king’s 04428 burnt sacrifice 05930, and his meat offering 04503, with the burnt offering 05930 of all the people 05971 of the land 0776, and their meat offering 04503, and their drink offerings 05262; and sprinkle 02236 upon it all the blood 01818 of the burnt offering 05930, and all the blood 01818 of the sacrifice 02077: and the brasen 05178 altar 04196 shall be for me to enquire 01239 by.
16 Thus did 06213 Urijah 0223 the priest 03548, according to all that king 04428 Ahaz 0271 commanded 06680.
17 And king 04428 Ahaz 0271 cut off 07112 the borders 04526 of the bases 04350, and removed 05493 the laver 03595 from off them; and took down 03381 the sea 03220 from off the brasen 05178 oxen 01241 that were under it, and put 05414 it upon a pavement 04837 of stones 068.
18 And the covered place 04329, 4329 for the sabbath 07676 that they had built 01129 in the house 01004, and the king’s 04428 entrance 03996 outside 02435, he took 05437 from the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 for 06440 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
19 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Ahaz 0271 which he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
20 And Ahaz 0271 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732: and Hezekiah 02396 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
1 In the twelfth 08147, 6240 year 08141 of Ahaz 0271 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Hoshea 01954 the son 01121 of Elah 0425 to reign 04427 in Samaria 08111 over Israel 03478 nine 08672 years 08141.
2 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, but not as the kings 04428 of Israel 03478 that were before 06440 him.
3 Against him came up 05927 Shalmaneser 08022 king 04428 of Assyria 0804; and Hoshea 01954 became his servant 05650, and gave 07725 him tribute 04503. gave: Heb. renderedpresents: or, tribute
4 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 found 04672 conspiracy 07195 in Hoshea 01954: for he had sent 07971 messengers 04397 to So 05471 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and brought 05927 no tribute 04503 to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, as he had done year 08141 by year 08141: therefore the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 shut him up 06113, and bound 0631 him in prison 01004, 3608. present: or, tribute
5 Then the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 came up 05927 throughout all the land 0776, and went up 05927 to Samaria 08111, and besieged 06696 it three 07969 years 08141.
6 In the ninth 08671 year 08141 of Hoshea 01954 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 took 03920 Samaria 08111, and carried 01540 Israel 03478 away 01540 into Assyria 0804, and placed 03427 them in Halah 02477 and in Habor 02249 by the river 05104 of Gozan 01470, and in the cities 05892 of the Medes 04074.
7 For so it was, that the children 01121 of Israel 03478 had sinned 02398 against the LORD 03068 their God 0430, who had brought them 05927 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from under the hand 03027 of Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and had feared 03372 other 0312 gods 0430,
8 And walked 03212 in the statutes 02708 of the heathen 01471, whom the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 from before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478, and of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478, which they had made 06213.
9 And the children 01121 of Israel 03478 did secretly 02644 things 01697 that were not right against the LORD 03068 their God 0430, and they built 01129 for themselves high places 01116 in all their cities 05892, from the tower 04026 of the watchmen 05341 to the fortified 04013 city 05892.
10 And they set up 05324 for themselves images 04676 and groves 0842 on every high 01364 hill 01389, and under every green 07488 tree 06086: images: Heb. statues
11 And there they burnt incense 06999 on all the high places 01116, as did the heathen 01471 whom the LORD 03068 carried away 01540 before 06440 them; and wrought 06213 wicked 07451 things 01697 to provoke the LORD 03068 to anger 03707:
12 For they served 05647 idols 01544, of which the LORD 03068 had said 0559 to them, Ye shall not do 06213 this thing 01697.
13 Yet the LORD 03068 testified 05749 against Israel 03478, and against Judah 03063, by 03027 all the prophets 05030, and by all the seers 02374, saying 0559, Turn 07725 ye from your evil 07451 ways 01870, and keep 08104 my commandments 04687 and my statutes 02708, according to all the law 08451 which I commanded 06680 your fathers 01, and which I sent 07971 to you by 03027 my servants 05650 the prophets 05030. by: Heb. by the hand of
14 However they would not hear 08085, but hardened 07185 their necks 06203, like the neck 06203 of their fathers 01, that did not believe 0539 in the LORD 03068 their God 0430.
15 And they rejected 03988 his statutes 02706, and his covenant 01285 that he made 03772 with their fathers 01, and his testimonies 05715 which he testified 05749 against them; and they followed 03212, 310 vanity 01892, and became vain 01891, and went after 0310 the heathen 01471 that were around 05439 them, concerning whom the LORD 03068 had charged 06680 them, that they should not do 06213 like them.
16 And they left 05800 all the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, and made 06213 for themselves molten images 04541, even two 08147 calves 05695, and made 06213 a grove 0842, and worshipped 07812 all the host 06635 of heaven 08064, and served 05647 Baal 01168.
17 And they caused their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323 to pass 05674 through the fire 0784, and used 07080 divination 07081 and enchantments 05172, and sold 04376 themselves to do 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, to provoke him to anger 03707.
18 Therefore the LORD 03068 was very 03966 angry 0599 with Israel 03478, and removed 05493 them out of his sight 06440: there was none left 07604 but the tribe 07626 of Judah 03063 only.
19 Also Judah 03063 kept 08104 not the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, but walked 03212 in the statutes 02708 of Israel 03478 which they made 06213.
20 And the LORD 03068 rejected 03988 all the seed 02233 of Israel 03478, and afflicted 06031 them, and delivered 05414 them into the hand 03027 of spoilers 08154, until he had cast 07993 them out of his sight 06440.
21 For he tore 07167 Israel 03478 from the house 01004 of David 01732; and they made Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028 king 04427: and Jeroboam 03379 drove 05080, 5077 Israel 03478 from following 0310 the LORD 03068, and made them sin 02398 a great 01419 sin 02401.
22 For the children 01121 of Israel 03478 walked 03212 in all the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 which he did 06213; they departed 05493 not from them;
23 Until the LORD 03068 removed 05493 Israel 03478 out of his sight 06440, as he had said 01696 by 03027 all his servants 05650 the prophets 05030. So was Israel 03478 carried away 01540 out of their own land 0127 to Assyria 0804 to this day 03117.
24 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 brought 0935 men from Babylon 0894, and from Cuthah 03575, and from Ava 05755, and from Hamath 02574, and from Sepharvaim 05617, and placed 03427 them in the cities 05892 of Samaria 08111 instead of the children 01121 of Israel 03478: and they possessed 03423 Samaria 08111, and dwelt 03427 in its cities 05892.
25 And so it was at the beginning 08462 of their dwelling 03427 there, that they feared 03372 not the LORD 03068: therefore the LORD 03068 sent 07971 lions 0738 among them, which slew 02026 some of them.
26 Therefore they spoke 0559 to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, saying 0559, The nations 01471 which thou hast removed 01540, and placed 03427 in the cities 05892 of Samaria 08111, know 03045 not the manner 04941 of the God 0430 of the land 0776: therefore he hath sent 07971 lions 0738 among them, and, behold, they slay 04191 them, because they know 03045 not the manner 04941 of the God 0430 of the land 0776.
27 Then the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 commanded 06680, saying 0559, Take 03212 there one 0259 of the priests 03548 whom ye brought 01540 from there; and let them go 03212 and dwell 03427 there, and let him teach 03384 them the manner 04941 of the God 0430 of the land 0776.
28 Then one 0259 of the priests 03548 whom they had carried away 01540 from Samaria 08111 came 0935 and dwelt 03427 in Bethel 01008, and taught 03384 them how they should fear 03372 the LORD 03068.
29 Yet every nation 01471 made 06213 gods 0430 of their own, and put 03240 them in the houses 01004 of the high places 01116 which the Samaritans 08118 had made 06213, every nation 01471 in their cities 05892 in which they dwelt 03427.
30 And the men 0582 of Babylon 0894 made 06213 Succothbenoth 05524, and the men 0582 of Cuth 03575 made 06213 Nergal 05370, and the men 0582 of Hamath 02574 made 06213 Ashima 0807,
31 And the Avites 05757 made 06213 Nibhaz 05026 and Tartak 08662, and the Sepharvites 05616 burnt 08313 their children 01121 in the fire 0784 to Adrammelech 0152 and Anammelech 06048, the gods 0430 of Sepharvaim 05617.
32 So they feared 03373 the LORD 03068, and made 06213 to themselves of the lowest 07098 of them priests 03548 of the high places 01116, who sacrificed 06213 for them in the houses 01004 of the high places 01116.
33 They feared 03373 the LORD 03068, and served 05647 their own gods 0430, after the manner 04941 of the nations 01471 whom they carried away 01540 from there. whom…: or, who carried them away from thence
34 To this day 03117 they do 06213 after the former 07223 manners 04941: they fear 03373 not the LORD 03068, neither do 06213 they after their statutes 02708, or after their ordinances 04941, or after the law 08451 and commandment 04687 which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 the children 01121 of Jacob 03290, whom he named 07760, 8034 Israel 03478;
35 With whom the LORD 03068 had made 03772 a covenant 01285, and charged 06680 them, saying 0559, Ye shall not fear 03372 other 0312 gods 0430, nor bow 07812 yourselves to them, nor serve 05647 them, nor sacrifice 02076 to them:
36 But the LORD 03068, who brought you 05927 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 with great 01419 power 03581 and an outstretched 05186 arm 02220, him shall ye fear 03372, and him shall ye worship 07812, and to him shall ye sacrifice 02076.
37 And the statutes 02706, and the ordinances 04941, and the law 08451, and the commandment 04687, which he wrote 03789 for you, ye shall observe 08104 to do 06213 for evermore 03117; and ye shall not fear 03372 other 0312 gods 0430.
38 And the covenant 01285 that I have made 03772 with you ye shall not forget 07911; neither shall ye fear 03372 other 0312 gods 0430.
39 But the LORD 03068 your God 0430 ye shall fear 03372; and he shall deliver 05337 you out of the hand 03027 of all your enemies 0341.
40 Yet they did not hearken 08085, but they did 06213 after their former 07223 manner 04941.
41 So these nations 01471 feared 03373 the LORD 03068, and served 05647 their graven images 06456, both their children 01121, and their children’s 01121 children 01121: as did 06213 their fathers 01, so do 06213 they to this day 03117.
1 Now it came to pass in the third 07969 year 08141 of Hoshea 01954 son 01121 of Elah 0425 king 04428 of Israel 03478, that Hezekiah 02396 the son 01121 of Ahaz 0271 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began to reign 04427. Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias
2 Twenty 06242 and five 02568 years 08141 old 01121 was he when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 twenty 06242 and nine 08672 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. His mother’s 0517 name 08034 also was Abi 021, the daughter 01323 of Zachariah 02148. Abi: also called, Abijah
3 And he did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that David 01732 his father 01 did 06213.
4 He removed 05493 the high places 01116, and broke 07665 the images 04676, and cut down 03772 the groves 0842, and broke in pieces 03807 the brasen 05178 serpent 05175 that Moses 04872 had made 06213: for till those days 03117 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 burnt incense 06999 to it: and he called 07121 it Nehushtan 05180. images: Heb. statuesNehushtan: that is, A piece of brass
5 He trusted 0982 in the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478; so that after 0310 him was none like him among all the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, nor any that were before 06440 him.
6 For he clung 01692 to the LORD 03068, and departed 05493 not from following 0310 him, but kept 08104 his commandments 04687, which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 Moses 04872. from…: Heb. from after him
7 And the LORD 03068 was with him; and he prospered 07919 wherever he went forth 03318: and he rebelled 04775 against the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and served 05647 him not.
8 He smote 05221 the Philistines 06430, even to Gaza 05804, and its borders 01366, from the tower 04026 of the watchmen 05341 to the fortified 04013 city 05892. Gaza: Heb. Azzah
9 And it came to pass in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of king 04428 Hezekiah 02396, which was the seventh 07637 year 08141 of Hoshea 01954 son 01121 of Elah 0425 king 04428 of Israel 03478, that Shalmaneser 08022 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 came up 05927 against Samaria 08111, and besieged 06696 it.
10 And at the end 07097 of three 07969 years 08141 they took 03920 it: even in the sixth 08337 year 08141 of Hezekiah 02396, that is the ninth 08672 year 08141 of Hoshea 01954 king 04428 of Israel 03478, Samaria 08111 was taken 03920.
11 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 carried away 01540 Israel 03478 to Assyria 0804, and put 05148 them in Halah 02477 and in Habor 02249 by the river 05104 of Gozan 01470, and in the cities 05892 of the Medes 04074:
12 Because they obeyed 08085 not the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, but transgressed 05674 his covenant 01285, and all that Moses 04872 the servant 05650 of the LORD 03068 commanded 06680, and would not hear 08085 them, nor do 06213 them.
13 Now in the fourteenth 0702, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 came up 05927 against all the fortified 01219 cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and took 08610 them. Sennacherib: Heb. Sanherib
14 And Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063 sent 07971 to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 to Lachish 03923, saying 0559, I have offended 02398; withdraw 07725 from me: that which thou puttest 05414 on me I will bear 05375. And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 appointed 07760 to Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063 three 07969 hundred 03967 talents 03603 of silver 03701 and thirty 07970 talents 03603 of gold 02091.
15 And Hezekiah 02396 gave 05414 him all the silver 03701 that was found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and in the treasuries 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004.
16 At that time 06256 did Hezekiah 02396 cut off 07112 the gold from the doors 01817 of the temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, and from the pillars 0547 which Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063 had overlaid 06823, and gave 05414 it to the king 04428 of Assyria 0804. it: Heb. them
17 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 sent 07971 Tartan 08661 and Rabsaris 07249 and Rabshakeh 07262 from Lachish 03923 to king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 with a great 03515 army 02426 against Jerusalem 03389. And they went up 05927 and came 0935 to Jerusalem 03389. And when they had come up 05927, they came 0935 and stood 05975 by the conduit 08585 of the upper 05945 pool 01295, which is in the highway 04546 of the fuller’s 03526 field 07704. great: Heb. heavy
18 And when they had called 07121 to the king 04428, there came out 03318 to them Eliakim 0471 the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, who was over the household 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and Joah 03098 the son 01121 of Asaph 0623 the recorder 02142. scribe: or, secretary
19 And Rabshakeh 07262 said 0559 to them, Speak 0559 ye now to Hezekiah 02396, Thus saith 0559 the great 01419 king 04428, the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, What confidence 0986 is this in which thou trustest 0982?
20 Thou sayest 0559, (but they are but vain 08193 words 01697,) I have counsel 06098 and strength 01369 for the war 04421. Now in whom dost thou trust 0982, that thou rebellest 04775 against me? sayest: or, talkestvain…: Heb. word of the lipsI have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war
21 Now, behold, thou trustest 0982 upon the staff 04938 of this bruised 07533 reed 07070, even upon Egypt 04714, on which if a man 0376 leaneth 05564, it will go 0935 into his hand 03709, and pierce 05344 it: so is Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 to all that trust 0982 on him. trustest: Heb. trustest thee
22 But if ye say 0559 to me, We trust 0982 in the LORD 03068 our God 0430: is not that he, whose high places 01116 and whose altars 04196 Hezekiah 02396 hath taken away 05493, and hath said 0559 to Judah 03063 and Jerusalem 03389, Ye shall worship 07812 before 06440 this altar 04196 in Jerusalem 03389?
23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges 06148 to my lord 0113 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and I will deliver 05414 thee two thousand 0505 horses 05483, if thou shalt be able 03201 on thy part to set 05414 riders 07392 upon them. pledges: or, hostages
24 How then wilt thou turn away 07725 the face 06440 of one 0259 captain 06346 of the least 06996 of my master’s 0113 servants 05650, and put thy trust 0982 on Egypt 04714 for chariots 07393 and for horsemen 06571?
25 Have I now come up 05927 without 01107 the LORD 03068 against this place 04725 to destroy 07843 it? The LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Go up 05927 against this land 0776, and destroy 07843 it.
26 Then said 0559 Eliakim 0471 the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, and Shebna 07644, and Joah 03098, to Rabshakeh 07262, Speak 01696, I pray thee, to thy servants 05650 in the Syrian language 0762; for we understand 08085 it: and talk 01696 not with us in the Jews’ language 03066 in the ears 0241 of the people 05971 that are on the wall 02346.
27 But Rabshakeh 07262 said 0559 to them, Hath my master 0113 sent 07971 me to thy master 0113, and to thee, to speak 01696 these words 01697? hath he not sent me to the men 0582 who sit 03427 on the wall 02346, that they may eat 0398 their own dung 06675, 2755, and drink 08354 their own urine 04325, 7272, 7890 with you? their own piss: Heb. the water of their feet
28 Then Rabshakeh 07262 stood 05975 and cried 07121 with a loud 01419 voice 06963 in the Jews’ language 03066, and spoke 01696, saying 0559, Hear 08085 the word 01697 of the great 01419 king 04428, the king 04428 of Assyria 0804:
29 Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Let not Hezekiah 02396 deceive 05377 you: for he shall not be able 03201 to deliver 05337 you out of his hand 03027:
30 Neither let Hezekiah 02396 make you trust 0982 in the LORD 03068, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 will surely 05337 deliver 05337 us, and this city 05892 shall not be delivered 05414 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
31 Hearken 08085 not to Hezekiah 02396: for thus saith 0559 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, Make 06213 an agreement with me by a present 01293, and come out 03318 to me, and then eat 0398 ye every man 0376 of his own vine 01612, and every one 0376 of his fig tree 08384, and drink 08354 ye every one 0376 the waters 04325 of his cistern 0953: Make…: or, Seek my favour: Heb. Make with me a blessingcistern: or, pit
32 Until I come 0935 and take you away 03947 to a land 0776 like your own land 0776, a land 0776 of grain 01715 and wine 08492, a land 0776 of bread 03899 and vineyards 03754, a land 0776 of olive 02132 oil 03323 and of honey 01706, that ye may live 02421, and not die 04191: and hearken 08085 not to Hezekiah 02396, when he persuadeth 05496 you, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 will deliver 05337 us. persuadeth: or, deceiveth
33 Hath any 0376 of the gods 0430 of the nations 01471 delivered 05337 at all 05337 his land 0776 out of the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804?
34 Where are the gods 0430 of Hamath 02574, and of Arpad 0774? where are the gods 0430 of Sepharvaim 05617, Hena 02012, and Ivah 05755? have they delivered 05337 Samaria 08111 out of my hand 03027?
35 Who are they among all the gods 0430 of the countries 0776, that have delivered 05337 their country 0776 out of my hand 03027, that the LORD 03068 should deliver 05337 Jerusalem 03389 out of my hand 03027?
36 But the people 05971 held their peace 02790, and answered 06030 him not a word 01697: for the king’s 04428 commandment 04687 was, saying 0559, Answer 06030 him not.
37 Then came 0935 Eliakim 0471 the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, who was over the household 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and Joah 03098 the son 01121 of Asaph 0623 the recorder 02142, to Hezekiah 02396 with their clothes 0899 torn 07167, and told 05046 him the words 01697 of Rabshakeh 07262.
1 And it came to pass, when king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 heard 08085 it, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899, and covered 03680 himself with sackcloth 08242, and went 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
2 And he sent 07971 Eliakim 0471, who was over the household 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and the elders 02205 of the priests 03548, covered 03680 with sackcloth 08242, to Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531.
3 And they said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 Hezekiah 02396, This day 03117 is a day 03117 of trouble 06869, and of rebuke 08433, and blasphemy 05007: for the children 01121 have come 0935 to the birth 04866, and there is not strength 03581 to bring forth 03205. blasphemy: or, provocation
4 It may be 0194 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will hear 08085 all the words 01697 of Rabshakeh 07262, whom the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 his master 0113 hath sent 07971 to reproach 02778 the living 02416 God 0430; and will reprove 03198 the words 01697 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath heard 08085: therefore lift up 05375 thy prayer 08605 for the remnant 07611 that are left 04672. left: Heb. found
5 So the servants 05650 of king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 came 0935 to Isaiah 03470.
6 And Isaiah 03470 said 0559 to them, Thus shall ye say 0559 to your master 0113, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Be not afraid 03372 of 06440 the words 01697 which thou hast heard 08085, with which the servants 05288 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 have blasphemed 01442 me.
7 Behold, I will send 05414 a spirit 07307 upon him, and he shall hear 08085 a rumour 08052, and shall return 07725 to his own land 0776; and I will cause him to fall 05307 by the sword 02719 in his own land 0776.
8 So Rabshakeh 07262 returned 07725, and found 04672 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 warring 03898 against Libnah 03841: for he had heard 08085 that he had departed 05265 from Lachish 03923.
9 And when he heard 08085 it said 0559 of Tirhakah 08640 king 04428 of Cush 03568, Behold, he hath come out 03318 to fight 03898 against thee: he sent 07971 messengers 04397 again 07725 to Hezekiah 02396, saying 0559,
10 Thus shall ye speak 0559 to Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559, Let not thy God 0430 in whom thou trustest 0982 deceive 05377 thee, saying 0559, Jerusalem 03389 shall not be delivered 05414 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
11 Behold, thou hast heard 08085 what the kings 04428 of Assyria 0804 have done 06213 to all lands 0776, by destroying them utterly 02763: and shalt thou be delivered 05337?
12 Have the gods 0430 of the nations 01471 delivered 05337 them which my fathers 01 have destroyed 07843; as Gozan 01470, and Haran 02771, and Rezeph 07530, and the children 01121 of Eden 05729 who were in Thelasar 08515?
13 Where is the king 04428 of Hamath 02574, and the king 04428 of Arpad 0774, and the king 04428 of the city 05892 of Sepharvaim 05617, of Hena 02012, and Ivah 05755?
14 And Hezekiah 02396 received 03947 the letter 05612 from the hand 03027 of the messengers 04397, and read 07121 it: and Hezekiah 02396 went up 05927 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and spread 06566 it before 06440 the LORD 03068.
15 And Hezekiah 02396 prayed 06419 before 06440 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, O LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, who dwellest 03427 between the cherubim 03742, thou art the God 0430, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776; thou hast made 06213 heaven 08064 and earth 0776.
16 LORD 03068, bow down 05186 thy ear 0241, and hear 08085: open 06491, LORD 03068, thy eyes 05869, and see 07200: and hear 08085 the words 01697 of Sennacherib 05576, who hath sent 07971 him to reproach 02778 the living 02416 God 0430.
17 Of a truth 0551, LORD 03068, the kings 04428 of Assyria 0804 have destroyed 02717 the nations 01471 and their lands 0776,
18 And have cast 05414 their gods 0430 into the fire 0784: for they were no gods 0430, but the work 04639 of men’s 0120 hands 03027, wood 06086 and stone 068: therefore they have destroyed 06 them. cast: Heb. given
19 Now therefore, O LORD 03068 our God 0430, I beseech thee, save 03467 thou us from his hand 03027, that all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 that thou art the LORD 03068 God 0430, even thou only.
20 Then Isaiah 03470 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531 sent 07971 to Hezekiah 02396, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, That which thou hast prayed 06419 to me against Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 I have heard 08085.
21 This is the word 01697 that the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 concerning him; The virgin 01330 the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726 hath despised 0959 thee, and mocked thee 03932; the daughter 01323 of Jerusalem 03389 hath shaken 05128 her head 07218 at thee 0310.
22 Whom hast thou reproached 02778 and blasphemed 01442? and against whom hast thou exalted 07311 thy voice 06963, and lifted up 05375 thy eyes 05869 on high 04791? even against the Holy 06918 One of Israel 03478.
23 By 03027 thy messengers 04397 thou hast reproached 02778 the Lord 0136, and hast said 0559, With the multitude 07230 of my chariots 07393, 7393 I am come up 05927 to the height 04791 of the mountains 02022, to the sides 03411 of Lebanon 03844, and will cut down 03772 its tall 06967 cedar trees 0730, and its choice 04004 fir trees 01265: and I will enter 0935 into the lodgings 04411 of his borders 07093, and into the forest 03293 of his Carmel 03760. By: Heb. By the hand oftall…: Heb. tallness, etcof his Carmel: or, and his fruitful field
24 I have dug 06979 and drank 08354 strange 02114 waters 04325, and with the sole 03709 of my feet 06471 have I dried 02717 up all the rivers 02975 of besieged places 04693. besieged: or, fenced
25 Hast thou not heard 08085 long ago 07350 how I have done 06213 it, and of ancient 06924 times 03117 that I have formed 03335 it? now have I brought 0935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste 07582 fortified 01219 cities 05892 in ruinous 05327 heaps 01530. long…: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?
26 Therefore their inhabitants 03427 were of small 07116 power 03027, they were dismayed 02865 and confounded 0954; they were as the grass 06212 of the field 07704, and as the green 03419 herb 01877, as the grass 02682 on the housetops 01406, and as grain blighted 07711 before 06440 it is grown up 07054. of small…: Heb. short of hand
27 But I know 03045 thy abode 03427, and thy going out 03318, and thy coming in 0935, and thy rage 07264 against me. abode: or, sitting
28 Because thy rage 07264 against me and thy tumult 07600 is come up 05927 into my ears 0241, therefore I will put 07760 my hook 02397 in thy nose 0639, and my bridle 04964 in thy lips 08193, and I will turn thee back 07725 by the way 01870 by which thou camest 0935.
29 And this shall be a sign 0226 to thee, Ye shall eat 0398 this year 08141 such things as grow 05599 of themselves, and in the second 08145 year 08141 that which springeth 07823 of the same; and in the third 07992 year 08141 sow 02232 ye, and reap 07114, and plant 05193 vineyards 03754, and eat 0398 the fruits 06529 of it.
30 And the remnant 07604 that hath escaped 06413 of the house 01004 of Judah 03063 shall yet again 03254 take root 08328 downward 04295, and bear 06213 fruit 06529 upward 04605. remnant…: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth
31 For out of Jerusalem 03389 shall go forth 03318 a remnant 07611, and they that escape 06413 from mount 02022 Zion 06726: the zeal 07068 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 shall do 06213 this. they…: Heb. the escaping
32 Therefore thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 concerning the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, He shall not come 0935 into this city 05892, nor shoot 03384 an arrow 02671 there, nor come before 06923 it with shield 04043, nor cast 08210 a bank 05550 against it.
33 By the way 01870 that he came 0935, by the same shall he return 07725, and shall not come 0935 into this city 05892, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
34 For I will defend 01598 this city 05892, to save 03467 it, for my own sake, and for my servant 05650 David’s 01732 sake.
35 And it came to pass that night 03915, that the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 went out 03318, and smote 05221 in the camp 04264 of the Assyrians 0804 an hundred 03967 and eighty 08084 and five 02568 thousand 0505: and when they arose early 07925 in the morning 01242, behold, they were all dead 04191 bodies 06297.
36 So Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 departed 05265, and went 03212 and returned 07725, and dwelt 03427 at Nineveh 05210.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping 07812 in the house 01004 of Nisroch 05268 his god 0430, that Adrammelech 0152 and Sharezer 08272 his sons 01121 smote 05221 him with the sword 02719: and they escaped 04422 into the land 0776 of Armenia 0780. And Esarhaddon 0634 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Armenia: Heb. Ararat
1 In those days 03117 was Hezekiah 02396 sick 02470 and near death 04191. And the prophet 05030 Isaiah 03470 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531 came 0935 to him, and said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Set thy house 01004 in order 06680; for thou shalt die 04191, and not live 02421. Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house
2 Then he turned 05437 his face 06440 to the wall 07023, and prayed 06419 to the LORD 03068, saying 0559,
3 I beseech 0577 thee, O LORD 03068, remember 02142 now how I have walked 01980 before 06440 thee in truth 0571 and with a perfect 08003 heart 03824, and have done 06213 that which is good 02896 in thy sight 05869. And Hezekiah 02396 wept 01058, 1065 grievously 01419. sore: Heb. with a great weeping
4 And it came to pass, before Isaiah 03470 had gone out 03318 into the middle 08484 court 02691, 5892, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to him, saying 0559, court: or, city
5 Return 07725, and tell 0559 Hezekiah 02396 the captain 05057 of my people 05971, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of David 01732 thy father 01, I have heard 08085 thy prayer 08605, I have seen 07200 thy tears 01832: behold, I will heal 07495 thee: on the third 07992 day 03117 thou shalt go up 05927 to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
6 And I will add 03254 to thy days 03117 fifteen 02568, 6240 years 08141; and I will deliver 05337 thee and this city 05892 out of the hand 03709 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804; and I will defend 01598 this city 05892 for my own sake, and for my servant 05650 David’s 01732 sake.
7 And Isaiah 03470 said 0559, Take 03947 a lump 01690 of figs 08384. And they took 03947 and laid 07760 it on the boil 07822, and he recovered 02421.
8 And Hezekiah 02396 said 0559 to Isaiah 03470, What shall be the sign 0226 that the LORD 03068 will heal 07495 me, and that I shall go up 05927 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 the third 07992 day 03117?
9 And Isaiah 03470 said 0559, This sign 0226 shalt thou have of the LORD 03068, that the LORD 03068 will do 06213 the thing 01697 that he hath spoken 01696: shall the shadow 06738 go forward 01980 ten 06235 degrees 04609, or go back 07725 ten 06235 degrees 04609?
10 And Hezekiah 03169 answered 0559, It is a light thing 07043 for the shadow 06738 to go forward 05186 ten 06235 degrees 04609: nay, but let the shadow 06738 return 07725 backward 0322 ten 06235 degrees 04609.
11 And Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 cried 07121 to the LORD 03068: and he brought 07725 the shadow 06738 ten 06235 degrees 04609 backward 0322, by 04609 which it had gone down 03381 on the dial 04609 of Ahaz 0271. dial: Heb. degrees
12 At that time 06256 Berodachbaladan 01255, the son 01121 of Baladan 01081, king 04428 of Babylon 0894, sent 07971 letters 05612 and a present 04503 to Hezekiah 02396: for he had heard 08085 that Hezekiah 02396 had been sick 02470. Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan
13 And Hezekiah 02396 hearkened 08085 to them, and showed 07200 them all the house 01004 of his precious things 05238, the silver 03701, and the gold 02091, and the spices 01314, and the precious 02896 ointment 08081, and all the house 01004 of his armour 03627, and all that was found 04672 in his treasuries 0214: there was nothing 01697 in his house 01004, nor in all his dominion 04475, that Hezekiah 02396 showed 07200 them not. precious things: or, spiceryarmour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels
14 Then came 0935 Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 to king 04428 Hezekiah 02396, and said 0559 to him, What said 0559 these men 0582? and from where 0370 came 0935 they to thee? And Hezekiah 02396 said 0559, They have come 0935 from a far 07350 country 0776, even from Babylon 0894.
15 And he said 0559, What have they seen 07200 in thy house 01004? And Hezekiah 02396 answered 0559, All the things that are in my house 01004 have they seen 07200: there is nothing 01697 among my treasures 0214 that I have not shown 07200 them.
16 And Isaiah 03470 said 0559 to Hezekiah 02396, Hear 08085 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
17 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935, that all that is in thy house 01004, and that which thy fathers 01 have laid up in store 0686 to this day 03117, shall be carried 05375 into Babylon 0894: nothing 01697 shall be left 03498, saith 0559 the LORD 03068.
18 And of thy sons 01121 that shall issue 03318 from thee, which thou shalt beget 03205, shall they take away 03947; and they shall be eunuchs 05631 in the palace 01964 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
19 Then said 0559 Hezekiah 02396 to Isaiah 03470, Good 02896 is the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which thou hast spoken 01696. And he said 0559, Is it not good, if peace 07965 and truth 0571 shall be in my days 03117? Is it…: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc
20 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Hezekiah 02396, and all his might 01369, and how he made 06213 a pool 01295, and a conduit 08585, and brought 0935 water 04325 into the city 05892, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
21 And Hezekiah 02396 slept 07901 with his fathers 01: and Manasseh 04519 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
1 Manasseh 04519 was twelve 08147, 6240 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 fifty 02572 and five 02568 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Hephzibah 02657.
2 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, after the abominations 08441 of the heathen 01471, whom the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
3 For he built 01129 again 07725 the high places 01116 which Hezekiah 02396 his father 01 had destroyed 06; and he reared 06965 altars 04196 for Baal 01168, and made 06213 a grove 0842, as did 06213 Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478; and worshipped 07812 all the host 06635 of heaven 08064, and served 05647 them.
4 And he built 01129 altars 04196 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, of which the LORD 03068 said 0559, In Jerusalem 03389 will I put 07760 my name 08034.
5 And he built 01129 altars 04196 for all the host 06635 of heaven 08064 in the two 08147 courts 02691 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
6 And he made his son 01121 pass 05674 through the fire 0784, and observed times 06049, and used enchantments 05172, and dealt 06213 with mediums 0178 and wizards 03049: he committed 06213 much 07235 wickedness 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, to provoke him to anger 03707.
7 And he set 07760 a graven image 06459 of the grove 0842 that he had made 06213 in the house 01004, of which the LORD 03068 said 0559 to David 01732, and to Solomon 08010 his son 01121, In this house 01004, and in Jerusalem 03389, which I have chosen 0977 out of all tribes 07626 of Israel 03478, will I put 07760 my name 08034 for ever 05769:
8 Neither will I make the feet 07272 of Israel 03478 move 05110 any more 03254 out of the land 0127 which I gave 05414 their fathers 01; only if they will observe 08104 to do 06213 according to all that I have commanded 06680 them, and according to all the law 08451 that my servant 05650 Moses 04872 commanded 06680 them.
9 But they hearkened 08085 not: and Manasseh 04519 seduced 08582 them to do 06213 more evil 07451 than did the nations 01471 whom the LORD 03068 destroyed 08045 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
10 And the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 by 03027 his servants 05650 the prophets 05030, saying 0559,
11 Because Manasseh 04519 king 04428 of Judah 03063 hath done 06213 these abominations 08441, and hath done wickedly 07489 above all that the Amorites 0567 did 06213, who were before 06440 him, and hath made Judah 03063 also to sin 02398 with his idols 01544:
12 Therefore thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Behold, I am bringing 0935 such evil 07451 upon Jerusalem 03389 and Judah 03063, that whoever heareth 08085 of it, both 08147 his ears 0241 shall tingle 06750.
13 And I will stretch 05186 over Jerusalem 03389 the line 06957 of Samaria 08111, and the plummet 04949 of the house 01004 of Ahab 0256: and I will wipe 04229 Jerusalem 03389 as a man wipeth 04229 a dish 06747, wiping 04229 it, and turning 02015 it upside down 06440. wiping…: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof
14 And I will forsake 05203 the remnant 07611 of my inheritance 05159, and deliver 05414 them into the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341; and they shall become a prey 0957 and a spoil 04933 to all their enemies 0341;
15 Because they have done 06213 that which was evil 07451 in my sight 05869, and have provoked 04480 me to anger 03707, since the day 03117 their fathers 01 came 03318 out of Egypt 04714, even to this day 03117.
16 Moreover Manasseh 04519 shed 08210 innocent 05355 blood 01818 very 03966 much 07235, till he had filled 04390 Jerusalem 03389 from one end 06310 to another 06310; besides his sin 02403 which he made Judah 03063 to sin 02398, in doing 06213 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068. from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth
17 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Manasseh 04519, and all that he did 06213, and his sin 02403 that he sinned 02398, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
18 And Manasseh 04519 slept 07901 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 in the garden 01588 of his own house 01004, in the garden 01588 of Uzza 05798: and Amon 0526 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
19 Amon 0526 was twenty 06242 and two 08147 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 two 08147 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Meshullemeth 04922, the daughter 01323 of Haruz 02743 of Jotbah 03192.
20 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, as his father 01 Manasseh 04519 did 06213.
21 And he walked 03212 in all the way 01870 that his father 01 walked in 01980, and served 05647 the idols 01544 that his father 01 served 05647, and worshipped 07812 them:
22 And he forsook 05800 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of his fathers 01, and walked 01980 not in the way 01870 of the LORD 03068.
23 And the servants 05650 of Amon 0526 conspired 07194 against him, and slew 04191 the king 04428 in his own house 01004.
24 And the people 05971 of the land 0776 slew 05221 all them that had conspired 07194 against king 04428 Amon 0526; and the people 05971 of the land 0776 made Josiah 02977 his son 01121 king 04427 in his stead.
25 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Amon 0526 which he did 06213, are they not written 03789 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697, 3117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
26 And he was buried 06912 in his sepulchre 06900 in the garden 01588 of Uzza 05798: and Josiah 02977 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Josiah: Gr. Josias
1 Josiah 02977 was eight 08083 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 thirty 07970 and one 0259 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Jedidah 03040, the daughter 01323 of Adaiah 05718 of Boscath 01218.
2 And he did 06213 that which was right 03477 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 in all the way 01870 of David 01732 his father 01, and turned not aside 05493 to the right hand 03225 or to the left 08040.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth 08083, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Josiah 02977, that the king 04428 sent 07971 Shaphan 08227 the son 01121 of Azaliah 0683, the son 01121 of Meshullam 04918, the scribe 05608, to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559,
4 Go 05927 to Hilkiah 02518 the high 01419 priest 03548, that he may sum 08552 the silver 03701 which is brought 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, which the keepers 08104 of the door 05592 have gathered 0622 from the people 05971: door: Heb. threshold
5 And let them deliver 05414 it into the hand 03027 of the doers 06213 of the work 04399, that have the oversight 06485 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: and let them give 05414 it to the doers 06213 of the work 04399 which is in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, to repair 02388 the breaches 0919 of the house 01004,
6 To carpenters 02796, and builders 01129, and masons 01443, and to buy 07069 timber 06086 and hewn 04274 stone 068 to repair 02388 the house 01004.
7 But there was no reckoning made 02803 with them of the money 03701 that was delivered 05414 into their hand 03027, because they dealt 06213 faithfully 0530.
8 And Hilkiah 02518 the high 01419 priest 03548 said 0559 to Shaphan 08227 the scribe 05608, I have found 04672 the book 05612 of the law 08451 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. And Hilkiah 02518 gave 05414 the book 05612 to Shaphan 08227, and he read 07121 it.
9 And Shaphan 08227 the scribe 05608 came 0935 to the king 04428, and brought 07725 the king 04428 word 01697 again 07725, and said 0559, Thy servants 05650 have gathered 05413 the money 03701 that was found 04672 in the house 01004, and have delivered 05414 it into the hand 03027 of them that do 06213 the work 04399, that have the oversight 06485 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. gathered: Heb. melted
10 And Shaphan 08227 the scribe 05608 showed 05046 the king 04428, saying 0559, Hilkiah 02518 the priest 03548 hath delivered 05414 me a book 05612. And Shaphan 08227 read 07121 it before 06440 the king 04428.
11 And it came to pass, when the king 04428 had heard 08085 the words 01697 of the book 05612 of the law 08451, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899.
12 And the king 04428 commanded 06680 Hilkiah 02518 the priest 03548, and Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, and Achbor 05907 the son 01121 of Michaiah 04320, and Shaphan 08227 the scribe 05608, and Asahiah 06222 a servant 05650 of the king’s 04428, saying 0559, Achbor: or, AbdonMichaiah: or, Micah
13 Go 03212 ye, enquire 01875 of the LORD 03068 for me, and for the people 05971, and for all Judah 03063, concerning the words 01697 of this book 05612 that is found 04672: for great 01419 is the wrath 02534 of the LORD 03068 that is kindled 03341 against us, because our fathers 01 have not hearkened 08085 to the words 01697 of this book 05612, to do 06213 according to all that which is written 03789 concerning us.
14 So Hilkiah 02518 the priest 03548, and Ahikam 0296, and Achbor 05907, and Shaphan 08227, and Asahiah 06222, went 03212 to Huldah 02468 the prophetess 05031, the wife 0802 of Shallum 07967 the son 01121 of Tikvah 08616, the son 01121 of Harhas 02745, keeper 08104 of the wardrobe 0899; (now she dwelt 03427 in Jerusalem 03389 in the second quarter 04932;) and they talked 01696 with her. wardrobe: Heb. garmentsin the…: or, in the second part
15 And she said 0559 to them, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Tell 0559 the man 0376 that sent 07971 you to me,
16 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will bring 0935 evil 07451 upon this place 04725, and upon its inhabitants 03427, even all the words 01697 of the book 05612 which the king 04428 of Judah 03063 hath read 07121:
17 Because they have forsaken 05800 me, and have burned incense 06999 to other 0312 gods 0430, that they might provoke me to anger 03707 with all the works 04639 of their hands 03027; therefore my wrath 02534 shall be kindled 03341 against this place 04725, and shall not be quenched 03518.
18 But to the king 04428 of Judah 03063 who sent 07971 you to enquire 01875 of the LORD 03068, thus shall ye say 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, concerning the words 01697 which thou hast heard 08085;
19 Because thy heart 03824 was tender 07401, and thou hast humbled 03665 thyself before 06440 the LORD 03068, when thou heardest 08085 what I spoke 01696 against this place 04725, and against its inhabitants 03427, that they should become a desolation 08047 and a curse 07045, and hast torn 07167 thy clothes 0899, and wept 01058 before 06440 me; I also have heard 08085 thee, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
20 Behold therefore, I will gather 0622 thee to thy fathers 01, and thou shalt be gathered 0622 into thy grave 06913 in peace 07965; and thy eyes 05869 shall not see 07200 all the evil 07451 which I will bring 0935 upon this place 04725. And they brought 07725 the king 04428 word 01697 again 07725.
1 And the king 04428 sent 07971, and they gathered 0622 to him all the elders 02205 of Judah 03063 and of Jerusalem 03389.
2 And the king 04428 went up 05927 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and all the men 0376 of Judah 03063 and all the inhabitants 03427 of Jerusalem 03389 with him, and the priests 03548, and the prophets 05030, and all the people 05971, both small 06996 and great 01419: and he read 07121 in their hearing 0241 all the words 01697 of the book 05612 of the covenant 01285 which was found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. both…: Heb. from small even unto great
3 And the king 04428 stood 05975 by a pillar 05982, and made 03772 a covenant 01285 before 06440 the LORD 03068, to walk 03212 after 0310 the LORD 03068, and to keep 08104 his commandments 04687 and his testimonies 05715 and his statutes 02708 with all their heart 03820 and all their soul 05315, to perform 06965 the words 01697 of this covenant 01285 that were written 03789 in this book 05612. And all the people 05971 joined 05975 in the covenant 01285.
4 And the king 04428 commanded 06680 Hilkiah 02518 the high 01419 priest 03548, and the priests 03548 of the second order 04932, and the keepers 08104 of the door 05592, to bring forth 03318 out of the temple 01964 of the LORD 03068 all the vessels 03627 that were made 06213 for Baal 01168, and for the grove 0842, and for all the host 06635 of heaven 08064: and he burned 08313 them without 02351 Jerusalem 03389 in the fields 07709 of Kidron 06939, and carried 05375 the ashes 06083 of them to Bethel 01008.
5 And he put down 07673 the idolatrous priests 03649, whom the kings 04428 of Judah 03063 had ordained 05414 to burn incense 06999 in the high places 01116 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the places around 04524 Jerusalem 03389; them also that burned incense 06999 to Baal 01168, to the sun 08121, and to the moon 03394, and to the planets 04208, and to all the host 06635 of heaven 08064. put…: Heb. caused to ceaseidolatrous…: Heb. Chemarimplanets: or, twelve signs or, constellations
6 And he brought out 03318 the grove 0842 from the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, without 02351 Jerusalem 03389, to the brook 05158 Kidron 06939, and burned 08313 it at the brook 05158 Kidron 06939, and stamped it small 01854 to powder 06083, and cast 07993 the powder 06083 of it upon the graves 06913 of the children 01121 of the people 05971.
7 And he broke down 05422 the houses 01004 of the sodomites 06945, that were by the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, where the women 0802 wove 0707 hangings 01004 for the grove 0842. hangings: Heb. houses
8 And he brought 0935 all the priests 03548 out of the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and defiled 02930 the high places 01116 where the priests 03548 had burnt incense 06999, from Geba 01387 to Beersheba 0884, and broke down 05422 the high places 01116 of the gates 08179 that were in the entrance 06607 of the gate 08179 of Joshua 03091 the governor 08269 of the city 05892, which were on a man’s 0376 left hand 08040 at the gate 08179 of the city 05892.
9 Nevertheless the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 came not up 05927 to the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 in Jerusalem 03389, but they ate 0398 of the unleavened bread 04682 among 08432 their brethren 0251.
10 And he defiled 02930 Topheth 08612, which is in the valley 01516 of the children 01121, 1121 of Hinnom 02011, that no man 0376 might make his son 01121 or his daughter 01323 to pass through 05674 the fire 0784 to Molech 04432.
11 And he took away 07673 the horses 05483 that the kings 04428 of Judah 03063 had given 05414 to the sun 08121, at the entrance 0935 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, by the chamber 03957 of Nathanmelech 05419 the chamberlain 05631, which was in the common lands 06503, and burned 08313 the chariots 04818 of the sun 08121 with fire 0784. chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer
12 And the altars 04196 that were on the top 01406 of the upper chamber 05944 of Ahaz 0271, which the kings 04428 of Judah 03063 had made 06213, and the altars 04196 which Manasseh 04519 had made 06213 in the two 08147 courts 02691 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, did the king 04428 beat down 05422, and broke them down 07323 from there, and cast 07993 the dust 06083 of them into the brook 05158 Kidron 06939. brake…: or, ran from thence
13 And the high places 01116 that were before 06440 Jerusalem 03389, which were on the right hand 03225 of the mount 02022 of corruption 04889, which Solomon 08010 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 had built 01129 for Ashtoreth 06253 the abomination 08251 of the Zidonians 06722, and for Chemosh 03645 the abomination 08251 of the Moabites 04124, and for Milcom 04445 the abomination 08441 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, did the king 04428 defile 02930. the mount…: that is, the mount of Olives
14 And he broke in pieces 07665 the images 04676, and cut down 03772 the groves 0842, and filled 04390 their places 04725 with the bones 06106 of men 0120. images: Heb. statues
15 Moreover the altar 04196 that was at Bethel 01008, and the high place 01116 which Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398, had made 06213, both that altar 04196 and the high place 01116 he broke down 05422, and burned 08313 the high place 01116, and stamped 01854 it small to powder 06083, and burned 08313 the grove 0842.
16 And as Josiah 02977 turned 06437 himself, he espied 07200 the sepulchres 06913 that were there on the mount 02022, and sent 07971, and took 03947 the bones 06106 out of the sepulchres 06913, and burned 08313 them upon the altar 04196, and polluted 02930 it, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which the man 0376 of God 0430 proclaimed 07121, who proclaimed 07121 these words 01697.
17 Then he said 0559, What title 06725 is that 01975 which I see 07200? And the men 0582 of the city 05892 told 0559 him, It is the sepulchre 06913 of the man 0376 of God 0430, who came 0935 from Judah 03063, and proclaimed 07121 these things 01697 that thou hast done 06213 against the altar 04196 of Bethel 01008.
18 And he said 0559, Let him alone 03240; let no man 0376 move 05128 his bones 06106. So they let his bones 06106 alone 04422, with the bones 06106 of the prophet 05030 that came out 0935 of Samaria 08111. bones alone: Heb. bones to escape
19 And all the houses 01004 also of the high places 01116 that were in the cities 05892 of Samaria 08111, which the kings 04428 of Israel 03478 had made 06213 to provoke the LORD to anger 03707, Josiah 02977 took away 05493, and did 06213 to them according to all the acts 04639 that he had done 06213 in Bethel 01008.
20 And he slew 02076 all the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 that were there upon the altars 04196, and burnt 08313 men’s 0120 bones 06106 upon them, and returned 07725 to Jerusalem 03389. slew: or, sacrificed
21 And the king 04428 commanded 06680 all the people 05971, saying 0559, Keep 06213 the passover 06453 to the LORD 03068 your God 0430, as it is written 03789 in the book 05612 of this covenant 01285.
22 Surely there was not held 06213 such a passover 06453 from the days 03117 of the judges 08199 that judged 08199 Israel 03478, nor in all the days 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478, nor of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063;
23 But in the eighteenth 08083, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Josiah 02977, when this passover 06453 was held 06213 to the LORD 03068 in Jerusalem 03389.
24 Moreover the mediums 0178, and the wizards 03049, and the images 08655, and the idols 01544, and all the abominations 08251 that were seen 07200 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063 and in Jerusalem 03389, did Josiah 02977 put away 01197, that he might perform 06965 the words 01697 of the law 08451 which were written 03789 in the book 05612 that Hilkiah 02518 the priest 03548 found 04672 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. images: or, teraphim
25 And like him was there no king 04428 before 06440 him, that turned 07725 to the LORD 03068 with all his heart 03824, and with all his soul 05315, and with all his might 03966, according to all the law 08451 of Moses 04872; neither after 0310 him arose 06965 there any like him.
26 However the LORD 03068 turned 07725 not from the fierceness 02740 of his great 01419 wrath 0639, with which his anger 0639 was kindled 02734 against Judah 03063, because of all the provocations 03708 by which Manasseh 04519 had provoked 03707 him. provocations: Heb. angers
27 And the LORD 03068 said 0559, I will remove 05493 Judah 03063 also out of my sight 06440, as I have removed 05493 Israel 03478, and will cast off 03988 this city 05892 Jerusalem 03389 which I have chosen 0977, and the house 01004 of which I said 0559, My name 08034 shall be there.
28 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Josiah 02977, 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?
29 In his days 03117 Pharaohnechoh 06549 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 went up 05927 against the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 to the river 05104 Euphrates 06578: and king 04428 Josiah 02977 went 03212 against 07125 him; and he slew 04191 him at Megiddo 04023, when he had seen 07200 him.
30 And his servants 05650 carried him in a chariot 07392 dead 04191 from Megiddo 04023, and brought 0935 him to Jerusalem 03389, and buried 06912 him in his own sepulchre 06900. And the people 05971 of the land 0776 took 03947 Jehoahaz 03059 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977, and anointed 04886 him, and made him king 04427 in his father’s 01 stead.
31 Jehoahaz 03059 was twenty 06242 and three 07969 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 three 07969 months 02320 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Hamutal 02537, the daughter 01323 of Jeremiah 03414 of Libnah 03841. Jehoahaz: also called, Shallum
32 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that his fathers 01 had done 06213.
33 And Pharaohnechoh 06549 put him in bonds 0631 at Riblah 07247 in the land 0776 of Hamath 02574, that he might not reign 04427 in Jerusalem 03389; and subjected 05414 the land 0776 to a tribute 06066 of an hundred 03967 talents 03603 of silver 03701, and a talent 03603 of gold 02091. that…: or, because he reignedput the…: Heb. set a fine upon the land
34 And Pharaohnechoh 06549 made Eliakim 0471 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04427 in the stead of Josiah 02977 his father 01, and changed 05437 his name 08034 to Jehoiakim 03079, and took 03947 Jehoahaz 03059 away 03947: and he came 0935 to Egypt 04714, and died 04191 there.
35 And Jehoiakim 03079 gave 05414 the silver 03701 and the gold 02091 to Pharaoh 06547; but he taxed 06186 the land 0776 to give 05414 the money 03701 according to the commandment 06310 of Pharaoh 06547: he exacted 05065 the silver 03701 and the gold 02091 from the people 05971 of the land 0776, from every one 0376 according to his assessment 06187, to give 05414 it to Pharaohnechoh 06549.
36 Jehoiakim 03079 was twenty 06242 and five 02568 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427; and he reigned 04427 eleven 0259, 6240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Zebudah 02080, the daughter 01323 of Pedaiah 06305 of Rumah 07316.
37 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that his fathers 01 had done 06213.
1 In his days 03117 Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came up 05927, and Jehoiakim 03079 became his servant 05650 three 07969 years 08141: then he turned 07725 and rebelled 04775 against him.
2 And the LORD 03068 sent 07971 against him bands 01416 of the Chaldees 03778, and bands 01416 of the Syrians 0758, and bands 01416 of the Moabites 04124, and bands 01416 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, and sent 07971 them against Judah 03063 to destroy 06 it, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spoke 01696 by 03027 his servants 05650 the prophets 05030. by: Heb. by the hand of
3 Surely at the commandment 06310 of the LORD 03068 came this upon Judah 03063, to remove 05493 them out of his sight 06440, for the sins 02403 of Manasseh 04519, according to all that he did 06213;
4 And also for the innocent 05355 blood 01818 that he shed 08210: for he filled 04390 Jerusalem 03389 with innocent 05355 blood 01818; which the LORD 03068 would 014 not pardon 05545.
5 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehoiakim 03079, 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?
6 So Jehoiakim 03079 slept 07901 with his fathers 01: and Jehoiachin 03078 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead.
7 And the king 04428 of Egypt 04714 came 03318 not again 03254 any more out of his land 0776: for the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had taken 03947 from the river 05158 of Egypt 04714 to the river 05104 Euphrates 06578 all that pertained to the king 04428 of Egypt 04714.
8 Jehoiachin 03078 was eighteen 08083, 6240 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 in Jerusalem 03389 three 07969 months 02320. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Nehushta 05179, the daughter 01323 of Elnathan 0494 of Jerusalem 03389. Jehoiachin: also called Jeconiah and Coniah
9 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that his father 01 had done 06213.
10 At that time 06256 the servants 05650 of Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came up 05927 against Jerusalem 03389, and the city 05892 was besieged 0935, 4692. was…: Heb. came into siege
11 And Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came 0935 against the city 05892, and his servants 05650 besieged 06696 it.
12 And Jehoiachin 03078 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 went out 03318 to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, he, and his mother 0517, and his servants 05650, and his princes 08269, and his officers 05631: and the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 took 03947 him in the eighth 08083 year 08141 of his reign 04427. officers: or, eunuchshis reign: Nebuchadnezzar’s eighth year
13 And he carried out 03318 from there all the treasures 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the treasures 0214 of the king’s 04428 house 01004, and cut in pieces 07112 all the vessels 03627 of gold 02091 which Solomon 08010 king 04428 of Israel 03478 had made 06213 in the temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, as the LORD 03068 had said 01696.
14 And he carried away 01540 all Jerusalem 03389, and all the princes 08269, and all the mighty men 01368 of valour 02428, even ten 06235 thousand 0505 captives 01540, and all the craftsmen 02796 and smiths 04525: none remained 07604, except 02108 the poorest sort 01803 of the people 05971 of the land 0776.
15 And he carried away 01540 Jehoiachin 03078 to Babylon 0894, and the king’s 04428 mother 0517, and the king’s 04428 wives 0802, and his officers 05631, and the mighty 0352, 193 of the land 0776, those carried 03212 he into captivity 01473 from Jerusalem 03389 to Babylon 0894. officers: or, eunuchs
16 And all the men 0582 of might 02428, even seven 07651 thousand 0505, and craftsmen 02796 and smiths 04525 a thousand 0505, all that were strong 01368 and apt 06213 for war 04421, even them the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 brought 0935 captive 01473 to Babylon 0894.
17 And the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 made Mattaniah 04983 his father’s brother 01730 king 04427 in his stead, and changed 05437 his name 08034 to Zedekiah 06667.
18 Zedekiah 06667 was twenty 06242 and one 0259 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427, and he reigned 04427 eleven 0259, 6240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother’s 0517 name 08034 was Hamutal 02537, the daughter 01323 of Jeremiah 03414 of Libnah 03841.
19 And he did 06213 that which was evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that Jehoiakim 03079 had done 06213.
20 For through the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 it came to pass in Jerusalem 03389 and Judah 03063, until he had cast them out 07993 from his presence 06440, that Zedekiah 06667 rebelled 04775 against the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
1 And it came to pass in the ninth 08671 year 08141 of his reign 04427, in the tenth 06224 month 02320, in the tenth 06218 day of the month 02320, that Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came 0935, he, and all his army 02428, against Jerusalem 03389, and encamped 02583 against it; and they built 01129 forts 01785 against it on all sides 05439.
2 And the city 05892 was besieged 0935, 4692 to the eleventh 06249, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Zedekiah 06667.
3 And on the ninth 08672 day of the fourth month 02320 the famine 07458 prevailed 02388 in the city 05892, and there was no bread 03899 for the people 05971 of the land 0776.
4 And the city 05892 was broken up 01234, and all the men 0582 of war 04421 fled by night 03915 by the way 01870 of the gate 08179 between two walls 02346, which is by the king’s 04428 garden 01588: (now the Chaldees 03778 were against the city 05892 on all sides 05439:) and the king went 03212 the way 01870 toward the plain 06160.
5 And the army 02428 of the Chaldees 03778 pursued 07291, 310 the king 04428, and overtook 05381 him in the plains 06160 of Jericho 03405: and all his army 02428 were scattered 06327 from him.
6 So they took 08610 the king 04428, and brought him 05927 to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 to Riblah 07247; and they pronounced 01696 sentence 04941 upon him. gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him
7 And they slew 07819 the sons 01121 of Zedekiah 06667 before his eyes 05869, and put out 05786 the eyes 05869 of Zedekiah 06667, and bound 0631 him with fetters 05178 of brass 05178, and carried 0935 him to Babylon 0894. put…: Heb. made blind
8 And in the fifth 02549 month 02320, on the seventh 07651 day of the month 02320, which is the nineteenth 08672, 6240, 8141 year 08141 of king 04428 Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, came 0935 Nebuzaradan 05018, captain 07227 of the guard 02876, a servant 05650 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, to Jerusalem 03389: captain…: or, chief marshal
9 And he burnt 08313 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king’s 04428 house 01004, and all the houses 01004 of Jerusalem 03389, and every great 01419 man’s house 01004 he burnt 08313 with fire 0784.
10 And all the army 02428 of the Chaldees 03778, that were with the captain 07227 of the guard 02876, broke down 05422 the walls 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 on all sides 05439.
11 Now the rest 03499 of the people 05971 that were left 07604 in the city 05892, and the fugitives 05307 that fell away 05307 to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, with the remnant 03499 of the multitude 01995, did Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 carry away 01540. fugitives: Heb. fallen away
12 But the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 left 07604 of the poor 01803 of the land 0776 to be vinedressers 03755 and farmers 03009, 1461.
13 And the pillars 05982 of brass 05178 that were in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the bases 04350, and the brasen 05178 sea 03220 that was in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, did the Chaldees 03778 break in pieces 07665, and carried 05375 the brass 05178 of them to Babylon 0894.
14 And the pots 05518, and the shovels 03257, and the snuffers 04212, and the spoons 03709, and all the vessels 03627 of brass 05178 by which they ministered 08334, they took away 03947.
15 And the firepans 04289, and the basins 04219, and such things as were of gold 02091, in gold 02091, and of silver 03701, in silver 03701, the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took away 03947.
16 The two 08147 pillars 05982, one 0259 sea 03220, and the bases 04350 which Solomon 08010 had made 06213 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068; the brass 05178 of all these vessels 03627 was beyond 03808 weight 04948. one…: Heb. the one sea
17 The height 06967 of the one 0259 pillar 05982 was eighteen 08083, 6240 cubits 0520, and the capital 03805 upon it was brass 05178: and the height 06967 of the capital 03805 three 07969 cubits 0520; and the wreathen work 07639, and pomegranates 07416 upon the capital 03805 around 05439, all of brass 05178: and like these had the second 08145 pillar 05982 with wreathen work 07639.
18 And the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took 03947 Seraiah 08304 the chief 07218 priest 03548, and Zephaniah 06846 the second 04932 priest 03548, and the three 07969 keepers 08104 of the door 05592: door: Heb. threshold
19 And out of the city 05892 he took 03947 an 0259 officer 05631 that was set 06496 over the men 0582 of war 04421, and five 02568 men 0582 of them that were 07200 in the king’s 04428 presence 06440, who were found 04672 in the city 05892, and the principal 08269 scribe 05608 of the host 06635, who mustered 06633 the people 05971 of the land 0776, and sixty 08346 men 0376 of the people 05971 of the land 0776 that were found 04672 in the city 05892: officer: or, eunuchwere in…: Heb. saw the king’s faceprincipal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host
20 And Nebuzaradan 05018 captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took 03947 these, and brought 03212 them to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 to Riblah 07247:
21 And the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 smote 05221 them, and slew 04191 them at Riblah 07247 in the land 0776 of Hamath 02574. So Judah 03063 was carried away 01540 out of their land 0127.
22 And as for the people 05971 that remained 07604 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063, whom Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had left 07604, even over them he made Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296, the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, ruler 06485.
23 And when all the captains 08269 of the armies 02428, they and their men 0582, heard 08085 that the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had made Gedaliah 01436 governor 06485, there came 0935 to Gedaliah 01436 to Mizpah 04709, even Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, and Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Careah 07143, and Seraiah 08304 the son 01121 of Tanhumeth 08576 the Netophathite 05200, and Jaazaniah 02970 the son 01121 of a Maachathite 04602, they and their men 0582.
24 And Gedaliah 01436 swore 07650 to them, and to their men 0582, and said 0559 to them, Fear 03372 not to be the servants 05650 of the Chaldees 03778: dwell 03427 in the land 0776, and serve 05647 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894; and it shall be well 03190 with you.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh 07637 month 02320, that Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, the son 01121 of Elishama 0476, of the seed 02233 royal 04410, came 0935, and ten 06235 men 0582 with him, and smote 05221 Gedaliah 01436, that he died 04191, and the Jews 03064 and the Chaldees 03778 that were with him at Mizpah 04709. royal: Heb. of the kingdom
26 And all the people 05971, both small 06996 and great 01419, and the captains 08269 of the armies 02428, arose 06965, and came 0935 to Egypt 04714: for they were afraid 03372 of 06440 the Chaldees 03778.
27 And it came to pass in the seven 07651 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of the captivity 01546 of Jehoiachin 03078 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the twelfth 08147, 6240 month 02320, on the seven 07651 and twentieth 06242 day of the month 02320, that Evilmerodach 0192 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 in the year 08141 that he began to reign 04427 released 05375, 7218 Jehoiachin 03078 king 04428 of Judah 03063 out of prison 01004, 3608;
28 And he spoke 01696 kindly 02896 to him, and set 05414 his throne 03678 above the throne 03678 of the kings 04428 that were with him in Babylon 0894; kindly…: Heb. good things with him
29 And changed 08132 his prison 03608 garments 0899: and he ate 0398 his food 03899 daily 08548 before 06440 him all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
30 And his allowance 0737 was a daily 08548 allowance 0737 given 05414 him by the king 04428, a daily 03117, 3117 rate 01697 for every day 03117, all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
