:1. Then Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194 maveth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >.

:2 And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > fell <5307 naphal > down through <1157 b@<ad > a lattice <7639 s@bakah > in his upper <5944 <aliyah > chamber <5944 <aliyah > that [was] in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and was sick <2470 chalah >:and he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and said <0559 >amar > unto them, Go <3212 yalak >, enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > whether <0518 >im > I shall recover <2421 chayah > of this <2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy >.

:3 But the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > the messengers <4397 mal>ak > of the king <4428 melek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and say <1696 dabar > unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] ye go <1980 halak > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >?

:4 Now therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > departed <3212 yalak >.

:5 And when the messengers <4397 mal>ak > turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > unto him, he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Why <4100 mah > are ye now <2088 zeh > turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >?

:6 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, There came <5927 <alah > a man <0376 >iysh > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > us, and said <0559 >amar > unto us, Go <3212 yalak >, turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > that sent <7971 shalach > you, and say <1696 dabar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] thou sendest <7971 shalach > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >? therefore <3651 ken > thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >.

:7 And he said <1696 dabar > unto them, What <4100 mah > manner <4941 mishpat > of man <0376 >iysh > [was he] which <0834 >aher > came <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > you, and told <1696 dabar > you these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >?

:8 And they answered <0559 >amar > him, [He was] an hairy man <0376 >iysh >, and girt <0247 >azar > with a girdle <0232 >ezowr > of leather <5785 <owr > about his loins <4975 mothen >. And he said <0559 >amar >, It [is] Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >.

:9. Then the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > unto him a captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And he went <5927 <alah > up to him:and, behold <2009 hinneh >, he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of an hill <2022 har >. And he spake <1696 dabar > unto him, Thou man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696 dabar >, Come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >.

:10 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > to the captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, If <0518 >im > I [be] a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, then let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And there came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consumed <0398 >akal > him and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >.

:11 Again <7725 shuwb > also he sent <7971 shalach > unto him another <0312 >acher > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And he answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > unto him, O man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, thus <3541 koh > hath the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar >, Come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > quickly <4120 m@herah >.

:12 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > unto them, If <0518 >im > I [be] a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And the fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and consumed <0398 >akal > him and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >.

:13 And he sent <7971 shalach > again <7725 shuwb > a captain <8269 sar > of the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym >. And the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > went <5927 <alah > up, and came <0935 bow> > and fell <3766 kara< > on <5921 <al > his knees <1290 berek > before <5048 neged > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, and besought <2603 chanan > him, and said <1696 dabar > unto him, O man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let my life <5315 nephesh >, and the life of these <0428 >el-leh > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > thy servants <5650 <ebed >, be precious <3365 yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >.

:14 Behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and burnt <0398 >akal > up the two <8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > of the former <7223 ri>shown > fifties <2572 chamishshiym > with their fifties <2572 chamishshiym >:therefore let my life <5315 nephesh > now <6258 <attah > be precious <3365 yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >.

:15 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <1696 dabar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >, Go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > with him:be not afraid <3372 yare> > of him. And he arose <6965 quwm >, and went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > with him unto the king <4428 melek >.

:16 And he said <1696 dabar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Forasmuch as thou hast sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown >, [is it] not because [there is] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to enquire <1875 darash > of his word <1697 dabar >? therefore thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > off that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth >.

:17 So he died <4191 muwth > according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > had spoken <1696 dabar >. And Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; because <3588 kiy > he had <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > son <1121 ben >.

:18 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

:2Kings 2

:1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would take <5927 <alah > up Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > into heaven <8064 shamayim > by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar >, that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > with Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > from Gilgal <1537 Gilgal >.

:2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh >, I pray <4994 na> > thee; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > [unto him, As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. So they went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >.

:3 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that [were] at Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown > from thy head <7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm >? And he said <0559 >amar >, Yea <1571 gam >, I know <3045 yada< > [it]; hold <2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 chashah >.

:4 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh >, I pray <4994 na> > thee; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >. And he said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. So they came <0935 bow> > to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >.

:5 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that [were] at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > came <5066 nagash > to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown > from thy head <7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm >? And he answered <0559 >amar >, Yea <1571 gam >, I know <3045 yada< > [it]; hold <2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 chashah >.

:6 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Tarry <3427 yashab >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, here <6311 poh >; for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Jordan <3383 Yarden >. And he said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. And they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <3212 yalak > on.

:7 And fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > of the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > went <1980 halak >, and stood <5975 <amad > to view <5048 neged > afar <7350 rachowq > off:and they two <8147 sh@nayim > stood <5975 <amad > by Jordan <3383 Yarden >.

:8 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > his mantle <0155 >addereth >, and wrapped <1563 galam > [it] together, and smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, and they were divided <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah >, so that they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > on dry <2724 charabah > ground.

:9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they were gone <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar >, that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall do <6213 <asah > for thee, before <2962 terem > I be taken <3947 laqach > away from thee. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let a double <8147 sh@nayim > portion <6310 peh > of thy spirit <7307 ruwach > be upon me.

:10 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thou hast asked <7592 sha>al > a hard <7185 qashah > thing:[nevertheless], if <0518 >im > thou see <7200 ra>ah > me [when I am] taken <3947 laqach > from thee, it shall be so <3651 ken > unto thee; but if <0518 >im > not, it shall not be [so].

:11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they still went <1980 halak > on, and talked <1696 dabar >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, [there appeared] a chariot <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh >, and horses <5483 cuwc > of fire <0784 >esh >, and parted <6504 parad > them both <8147 sh@nayim > asunder <0996 beyn >; and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <5927 <alah > up by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > into heaven <8064 shamayim >.

:12 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it], and he cried <6817 tsa<aq >, My father <1>, my father <1>, the chariot <7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and the horsemen <6571 parash > thereof. And he saw <7200 ra>ah > him no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >:and he took hold <2388 chazaq > of his own <0249 >ezrach > clothes <0899 beged >, and rent <7167 qara< > them in two <8147 sh@nayim > pieces <7168 qera< >.

:13. He took <7311 ruwm > up also the mantle <0155 >addereth > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him, and went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >, and stood <5975 <amad > by the bank <8193 saphah > of Jordan <3383 Yarden >;

:14 And he took <3947 laqach > the mantle <0155 >addereth > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him, and smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, and said <0559 >amar >, Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >? and when he also had smitten <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim >, they parted <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah >:and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar >.

:15 And when the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > which <0834 >aher > [were] to view <5048 neged > at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > saw <7200 ra>ah > him, they said <0559 >amar >, The spirit <7307 ruwach > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > doth rest <5117 nuwach > on <5921 <al > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >. And they came <0935 bow> > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and bowed <7812 shachah > themselves to the ground <0776 >erets > before him.

:16 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, there be with thy servants <5650 <ebed > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > strong <2428 chayil > men; let them go <3212 yalak >, we pray <4994 na> > thee, and seek <1245 baqash > thy master <0113 >adown >:lest <6435 pen > peradventure the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath taken <5375 nasa> > him up, and cast <7993 shalak > him upon some <0259 >echad > mountain <2022 har >, or <0176 >ow > into some <0259 >echad > valley <1516 gay> >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not send <7971 shalach >.

:17 And when they urged <6484 patsar > him till <5704 <ad > he was ashamed <0954 buwsh >, he said <0559 >amar >, Send <7971 shalach >. They sent <7971 shalach > therefore fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh >; and they sought <1245 baqash > three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm >, but found <4672 matsa> > him not.

:18 And when they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to him, (for he tarried <3427 yashab > at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >,) he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Did I not say <0559 >amar > unto you, Go <3212 yalak > not?

:19. And the men <0582 >enowsh > of the city <5892 <iyr > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, the situation <4186 mowshab > of this <2088 zeh > city <5892 <iyr > [is] pleasant <2896 towb >, as my lord <0113 >adown > seeth <7200 ra>ah >:but the water <4325 mayim > [is] naught <7451 ra< >, and the ground <0776 >erets > barren <7921 shakol >.

:20 And he said <0559 >amar >, Bring <3947 laqach > me a new <2319 chadash > cruse <6746 ts@lochiyth >, and put <7760 suwm > salt <4417 melach > therein <8033 sham >. And they brought <0935 bow> > [it] to him.

:21 And he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the spring <4161 mowtsa> > of the waters <4325 mayim >, and cast <7993 shalak > the salt <4417 melach > in there, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I have healed <7495 rapha> > these <0428 >el-leh > waters <4325 mayim >; there shall not be from thence <8033 sham > any more <5750 <owd > death <4194 maveth > or barren <7921 shakol > [land].

:22 So the waters <4325 mayim > were healed <7495 rapha> > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, according to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar >.

:23 And he went <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > unto Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >:and as he was going <5927 <alah > up by the way <1870 derek >, there came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > little <6996 qatan > children <5288 na<ar > out of the city <5892 <iyr >, and mocked <7046 qalac > him, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach > head; go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach > head.

:24 And he turned <6437 panah > back <0310 >achar >, and looked <7200 ra>ah > on them, and cursed <7043 qalal > them in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And there came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > two <8147 sh@nayim > she bears <1677 dob > out of the wood <3293 ya<ar >, and tare <1234 baqa< > forty <0705 >arba<iym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > children <3206 yeled > of them.

:25 And he went <3212 yalak > from thence <8033 sham > to mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and from thence <8033 sham > he returned <7725 shuwb > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

:2Kings 3

:1. Now Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned <4427 malak > twelve years <8141 shaneh >.

:2 And he wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; but not like his father <1>, and like his mother <0517 >em >:for he put <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > that his father <1> had made <6213 <asah >.

:3 Nevertheless <7535 raq > he cleaved <1692 dabaq > unto the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, which <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >; he departed <5493 cuwr > not therefrom.

:4 And Mesha <4337 Meysha< > king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > was a sheepmaster <5349 noqed >, and rendered <7725 shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > lambs <3733 kar >, and an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > rams <0352 >ayil >, with the wool <6785 tsemer >.

:5 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > was dead <4194 maveth >, that the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:6. And king <4428 melek > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > went <3318 yatsa> > out of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the same <1931 huw> > time <3117 yowm >, and numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:7 And he went <3212 yalak > and sent <7971 shalach > to Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >, The king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath rebelled <6586 pasha< > against me:wilt thou go <3212 yalak > with me against <0413 >el > Moab <4124 Mow>ab > to battle <4421 milchamah >? And he said <0559 >amar >, I will go <5927 <alah > up:I [am] as thou [art], my people <5971 <am > as thy people <5971 <am >, [and] my horses <5483 cuwc > as thy horses <5483 cuwc >.

:8 And he said <0559 >amar >, Which way <1870 derek > shall we go <5927 <alah> up? And he answered <0559 >amar >, The way <1870 derek > through the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Edom <0123 >Edom >.

:9 So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went <3212 yalak >, and the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom >:and they fetched a compass <5437 cabab > of seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm >' journey <1870 derek >:and there was no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > for the host <4264 machaneh >, and for the cattle <0929 b@hemah > that followed <7272 regel > them.

:10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar >, Alas <0160 >ahabah >! that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > kings <4428 melek > together, to deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >!

:11 But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar >, [Is there] nothere <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that we may enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him? And one <0259 >echad > of the king <4428 melek > of Israel's <3478 Yisra>el > servants <5650 <ebed > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Here <6311 poh > [is] Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat <8202 Shaphat >, which <0834 >aher > poured <3332 yatsaq > water <4325 mayim > on <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.

:12 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar >, The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is with him. So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > and the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him.

:13 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, What <4100 mah > have I to do with thee? get <3212 yalak > thee to the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of thy father <1>, and to the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of thy mother <0517 >em >. And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Nay <0408 >al >:for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > kings <4428 melek > together, to deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.

:14 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad >, surely <3588 kiy >, were it not that I regard <5375 nasa> > the presence <6440 paniym > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, I would not look <5027 nabat > toward <0413 >el > thee, nor <0518 >im > see <7200 ra>ah > thee.

:15 But now <6258 <attah > bring <3947 laqach > me a minstrel <5059 nagan >. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the minstrel <5059 nagan > played <5059 nagan >, that the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > upon him.

:16 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Make <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > valley <5158 nachal > full of ditches <1356 geb >.

:17 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Ye shall not see <7200 ra>ah > wind <7307 ruwach >, neither <3808 lo> > shall ye see <7200 ra>ah > rain <1653 geshem >; yet that valley <5158 nachal > shall be filled <4390 male> > with water <4325 mayim >, that ye may drink <8354 shathah >, both ye, and your cattle <4735 miqneh >, and your beasts <0929 b@hemah >.

:18 And this <2063 zo>th > is [but] a light <7043 qalal > thing in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:he will deliver <5414 nathan > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > also into your hand <3027 yad >.

:19 And ye shall smite <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >, and every <3605 kol > choice <4005 mibchar > city <5892 <iyr >, and shall fell <5307 naphal > every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > tree <6086 <ets >, and stop <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > wells <4599 ma<yan > of water <4325 mayim >, and mar <3510 ka>ab > every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece <2513 chelqah > of land with stones <68>.

:20. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242 boqer >, when the meat offering <4503 minchah > was offered <5927 <alah >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, there came <0935 bow> > water <4325 mayim > by the way <1870 derek > of Edom <0123 >Edom >, and the country <0776 >erets > was filled <4390 male> > with water <4325 mayim >.

:21 And when all <3605 kol > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > heard <8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > were come <5927 <alah > up to fight <3898 lacham > against them, they gathered <6817 tsa<aq > all <3605 kol > that were able <2296 chagar > to put <2296 chagar > on armour <2290 chagowr >, and upward <4605 ma<al >, and stood <5975 <amad > in the border <1366 g@buwl >.

:22 And they rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer >, and the sun <8121 shemesh > shone <2224 zarach > upon the water <4325 mayim >, and the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > the water <4325 mayim > on the other <5048 neged > side <5048 neged > [as] red <0122 >adom > as blood <1818 dam >:

:23 And they said <0559 >amar >, This <2088 zeh > [is] blood <1818 dam >:the kings <4428 melek > are surely slain <2717 charab >, and they have smitten <5221 nakah > one <0376 >iysh > another <7453 rea< >:now <6258 <attah > therefore, Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, to the spoil <7998 shalal >.

:24 And when they came <0935 bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > rose <6965 quwm > up and smote <5221 nakah > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab >, so that they fled <5127 nuwc > before <6440 paniym > them:but they went <5221 nakah > forward smiting <5221 nakah > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab >, even in [their] country.

:25 And they beat <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > the cities <5892 <iyr >, and on every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece <2513 chelqah > of land cast <7993 shalak > every man <0376 >iysh > his stone <68>, and filled <4390 male> > it; and they stopped <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > the wells <4599 ma<yan > of water <4325 mayim >, and felled <5307 naphal > all <3605 kol > the good <2896 towb > trees <6086 <ets >:only in Kirharaseth <7025 Qiyr Cheres > left <7604 sha>ar > they the stones <68> thereof; howbeit the slingers <7051 qalla< > went <5437 cabab > about <5437 cabab > [it], and smote <5221 nakah > it.

:26 And when the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > that the battle <4421 milchamah > was too sore <2388 chazaq > for him, he took <3947 laqach > with him seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > that drew <8025 shalaph > swords <2719 chereb >, to break <1234 baqa< > through <1234 baqa< > [even] unto the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom >:but they could <3201 yakol > not.

:27 Then he took <3947 laqach > his eldest <1060 b@kowr > son <1121 ben > that should have reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >, and offered <5927 <alah > him [for] a burnt <5930 <olah > offering upon the wall <2346 chowmah >. And there was great <1419 gadowl > indignation <7110 qetseph > against <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:and they departed <5265 naca< > from him, and returned <7725 shuwb > to [their own] land <0776 >erets >.

:2Kings 4

:1. Now there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a certain <0259 >echad > woman <0802 >ishshah > of the wives <0802 >ishshah > of the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy servant <5650 <ebed > my husband <0376 >iysh > is dead <4191 muwth >; and thou knowest <3045 yada< > that thy servant <5650 <ebed > did fear <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:and the creditor <5383 nashah > is come <0935 bow> > to take <3947 laqach > unto him my two <8147 sh@nayim > sons <3206 yeled > to be bondmen <5650 <ebed >.

:2 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto her, What <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > for thee? tell <5046 nagad > me, what <4100 mah > hast <3426 yesh > thou in the house <1004 bayith >? And she said <0559 >amar >, Thine handmaid <8198 shiphchah > hath not any <3605 kol > thing in the house <1004 bayith >, save <3467 yasha< > a pot <0610 >acuwk > of oil <8081 shemen >.

:3 Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, borrow <7592 sha>al > thee vessels <3627 k@liy > abroad <2351 chuwts > of all <3605 kol > thy neighbours <7934 shaken >, [even] empty <7385 riyq > vessels <3627 k@liy >; borrow not a few <4591 ma<at >.

:4 And when thou art come <0935 bow> > in, thou shalt shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon thee and upon thy sons <1121 ben >, and shalt pour <3332 yatsaq > out into <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 k@liy >, and thou shalt set <5265 naca< > aside <5265 naca< > that which is full <4392 male> >.

:5 So she went <3212 yalak > from him, and shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon her and upon her sons <1121 ben >, who <1992 hem > brought <5066 nagash > [the vessels] to her; and she poured <3332 yatsaq > out.

:6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the vessels <3627 k@liy > were full <4390 male> >, that she said <0559 >amar > unto her son <1121 ben >, Bring <5066 nagash > me yet a vessel <3627 k@liy >. And he said <0559 >amar > unto her, [There is] not a vessel <3627 k@liy > more <5750 <owd >. And the oil <8081 shemen > stayed <5975 <amad >.

:7 Then she came <0935 bow> > and told <5046 nagad > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, sell <4376 makar > the oil <8081 shemen >, and pay <7999 shalam > thy debt <5386 n@shiy >, and live <2421 chayah > thou and thy children <1121 ben > of the rest <3498 yathar >.

:8. And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > passed <5674 <abar > to Shunem <7766 Shuwnem >, where <8033 sham > [was] a great <1419 gadowl > woman <0802 >ishshah >; and she constrained <2388 chazaq > him to eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem >. And [so] it was, [that] as oft <1767 day > as he passed <5674 <abar > by, he turned <5493 cuwr > in thither <8033 sham > to eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem >.

:9 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >, Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, I perceive <3045 yada< > that this <1931 huw> > [is] an holy <6918 qadowsh > man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which passeth <5674 <abar > by us continually <8548 tamiyd >.

:10 Let us make <6213 <asah > a little <6996 qatan > chamber <5944 <aliyah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, on the wall <7023 qiyr >; and let us set <7760 suwm > for him there <8033 sham > a bed <4296 mittah >, and a table <7979 shulchan >, and a stool <3678 kicce> >, and a candlestick <4501 m@nowrah >:and it shall be, when he cometh <0935 bow> > to us, that he shall turn <5493 cuwr > in thither <8033 sham >.

:11 And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham >, and he turned <5493 cuwr > into <0413 >el > the chamber <5944 <aliyah >, and lay <7901 shakab > there <8033 sham >.

:12 And he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his servant <5288 na<ar >, Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th > Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >. And when he had called <7121 qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him.

:13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Say <0559 >amar > now <4994 na> > unto her, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast been careful <2729 charad > for us with all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > care <2731 charadah >; what <4100 mah > [is] to be done <6213 <asah > for thee? wouldest <3426 yesh > thou be spoken <1696 dabar > for to the king <4428 melek >, or <0176 >ow > to the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >? And she answered <0559 >amar >, I dwell <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek > mine own people <5971 <am >.

:14 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > then [is] to be done <6213 <asah > for her? And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > answered <0559 >amar >, Verily <61> she hath no <0369 >ayin > child <1121 ben >, and her husband <0376 >iysh > is old <2204 zaqen >.

:15 And he said <0559 >amar >, Call <7121 qara> > her. And when he had called <7121 qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > in the door <6607 pethach >.

:16 And he said <0559 >amar >, About this <2088 zeh > season <4150 mow<ed >, according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416 chay >, thou shalt embrace <2263 chabaq > a son <1121 ben >. And she said <0559 >amar >, Nay <0408 >al >, my lord <0113 >adown >, [thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, do not lie <3576 kazab > unto thine handmaid <8198 shiphchah >.

:17 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > conceived <2030 hareh >, and bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > at that season <4150 mow<ed > that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > had said <1696 dabar > unto her, according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416 chay >.

:18. And when the child <3206 yeled > was grown <1431 gadal >, it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he went <3318 yatsa> > out to his father <1> to the reapers <7114 qatsar >.

:19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his father <1>, My head <7218 ro>sh >, my head <7218 ro>sh >. And he said <0559 >amar > to a lad <5288 na<ar >, Carry <5375 nasa> > him to his mother <0517 >em >.

:20 And when he had taken <5375 nasa> > him, and brought <0935 bow> > him to his mother <0517 >em >, he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > her knees <1290 berek > till <5704 <ad > noon <6672 tsohar >, and [then] died <4191 muwth >.

:21 And she went <5927 <alah > up, and laid <7901 shakab > him on <5921 <al >the bed <4296 mittah > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and shut <5462 cagar > [the door] upon him, and went <3318 yatsa> > out.

:22 And she called <7121 qara> > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >, and said <0559 >amar >, Send <7971 shalach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, one <0259 >echad > of the young <5288 na<ar > men, and one <0259 >echad > of the asses <0860 >athown >, that I may run <7323 ruwts > to the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >.

:23 And he said <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > wilt thou go <1980 halak > to him to day <3117 yowm >? [it is] neither <3808 lo> > new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh >, nor <3808 lo> > sabbath <7676 shabbath >. And she said <0559 >amar >, [It shall be] well <7965 shalowm >.

:24 Then she saddled <2280 chabash > an ass <0860 >athown >, and said <0559 >amar > to her servant <5288 na<ar >, Drive <5090 nahag >, and go <3212 yalak > forward; slack <6113 <atsar > not [thy] riding <7392 rakab > for me, except I bid <0559 >amar > thee.

:25 So she went <3212 yalak > and came <0935 bow> > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > to mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > saw <7200 ra>ah > her afar <7350 rachowq > off, that he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his servant <5288 na<ar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, [yonder is] that Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >:

:26 Run <7323 ruwts > now <6258 <attah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, to meet <7125 qir>ah > her, and say <0559 >amar > unto her, [Is it] well <7965 shalowm > with thee?

:27 And when she came <0935 bow> > to the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > to the hill <2022 har >, she caught <2388 chazaq > him by the feet <7272 regel >:but Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > to thrust <1920 Hadaph > her away. And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar >, Let her alone <7503 raphah >; for her soul <5315 nephesh > [is] vexed <4843 marar > within her:and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath hid <5956 <alam > [it] from me, and hath not told <5046 nagad > me.

:28 Then she said <0559 >amar >, Did I desire <7592 sha>al > a son <1121 ben > of my lord <0113 >adown >? did I not say <0559 >amar >, Do not deceive <7952 shalah > me?

:29 Then he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, Gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen >, and take <3947 laqach > my staff <4938 mish<enah > in thine hand <3027 yad >, and go <3212 yalak > thy way <1870 derek >:if <3588 kiy > thou meet <4672 matsa> > any man <0376 >iysh >, salute <1288 barak > him not; and if <3588 kiy > any <0376 >iysh > salute <1288 barak > thee, answer <6030 <anah > him not again:and lay <7760 suwm > my staff <4938 mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the child <5288 na<ar >.

:30 And the mother <0517 >em > of the child <5288 na<ar > said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, and [as] thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay >, I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee. And he arose <6965 quwm >, and followed her.

:31 And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > passed <5674 <abar > on before <6440 paniym > them, and laid <7760 suwm > the staff <4938 mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the child <5288 na<ar >; but [there was] neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl >, nor <0369 >ayin > hearing <7182 qesheb >. Wherefore he went <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, The child <5288 na<ar > is not awaked <6974 quwts >.

:32 And when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was come <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the child <5288 na<ar > was dead <4191 muwth >, [and] laid <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah >.

:33 He went <0935 bow> > in therefore, and shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon them twain <8147 sh@nayim >, and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:35 Then he returned <7725 shuwb >, and walked <3212 yalak > in the house <1004 bayith > to and fro; and went <5927 <alah > up, and stretched <1457 gahar > himself upon him:and the child <5288 na<ar > sneezed <2237 zarar > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >, and the child <5288 na<ar > opened <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin >.

:38. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to Gilgal <1537 Gilgal >:and [there was] a dearth <7458 ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets >; and the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > [were] sitting <3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > him:and he said <0559 >amar > unto his servant <5288 na<ar >, Set <8239 shaphath > on the great <1419 gadowl > pot <5518 ciyr >, and seethe <1310 bashal > pottage <5138 naziyd > for the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.

:39 And one <0259 >echad > went <3318 yatsa> > out into <0413 >el > the field <7704 sadeh > to gather <3950 laqat > herbs <0219 >owrah >, and found <4672 matsa> > a wild <7704 sadeh > vine <1612 gephen >, and gathered <3950 laqat > thereof wild <7704 sadeh > gourds <6498 paqqu<ah > his lap <0899 beged > full <4393 m@lo> >, and came <0935 bow> > and shred <6398 palach > [them] into <0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > of pottage <5138 naziyd >:for they knew <3045 yada< > [them] not.

:40 So they poured <3332 yatsaq > out for the men <0582 >enowsh > to eat <0398 >akal >. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they were eating <0398 >akal > of the pottage <5138 naziyd >, that they cried <6817 tsa<aq > out, and said <0559 >amar >, O [thou] man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, [there is] death <4194 maveth > in the pot <5518 ciyr >. And they could <3201 yakol > not eat <0398 >akal > [thereof].

:41 But he said <0559 >amar >, Then bring <3947 laqach > meal <7058 qemach >. And he cast <7993 shalak > [it] into <0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr >; and he said <0559 >amar >, Pour <3332 yatsaq > out for the people <5971 <am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >. And there was no <3808 lo> > harm in the pot <5518 ciyr >.

:42 And there came <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > from Baalshalisha <1190 Ba<al Shalishah >, and brought <0935 bow> > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > bread <3899 lechem > of the firstfruits <1061 bikkuwr >, twenty <6242 <esriym > loaves <3899 lechem > of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and full ears <3759 karmel > of corn <3759 karmel > in the husk <6861 tsiqlon > thereof. And he said <0559 >amar >, Give <5414 nathan > unto the people <5971 <am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >.

:43 And his servitor <8334 sharath > said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah >, should I set <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > before <6440 paniym > an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh >? He said <0559 >amar > again, Give <5414 nathan > the people <5971 <am >, that they may eat <0398 >akal >:for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, They shall eat <0398 >akal >, and shall leave <3498 yathar > [thereof].

:44 So he set <5414 nathan > [it] before <6440 paniym > them, and they did eat <0398 >akal >, and left <3498 yathar > [thereof], according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:2Kings 5

:1. Now Naaman <5283 Na<aman >, captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >, was a great <1419 gadowl > man <0376 >iysh > with his master <0113 >adown >, and honourable, because <3588 kiy > by him the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > given <5414 nathan > deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah > unto Syria <0758 >Aram >:he was also a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh > in valour <2428 chayil >, [but he was] a leper <6879 tsara< >.

:2 And the Syrians <0758 >Aram > had gone <3318 yatsa> > out by companies <1416 g@duwd >, and had brought <7617 shabah > away captive <7617 shabah > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a little <6996 qatan > maid <5291 na<arah >; and she waited on Naaman's <5283 Na<aman > wife <0802 >ishshah >.

:3 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her mistress <1404 g@bereth >, Would <0305 >achalay > God my lord <0113 >adown > [were] with the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that [is] in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >! for he would recover <0622 >acaph > him of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath >.

:4 And [one] went <0935 bow> > in, and told <5046 nagad > his lord <0113 >adown >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <2063 zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > said <1696 dabar > the maid <5291 na<arah > that [is] of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:5 And the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > to, go <0935 bow> >, and I will send <7971 shalach > a letter <5612 cepher > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >. And he departed <3212 yalak >, and took <3947 laqach > with him ten <6235 <eser > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and six <8337 shesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > [pieces] of gold <2091 zahab >, and ten <6235 <eser > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of raiment <0899 beged >.

:6 And he brought <0935 bow> > the letter <5612 cepher > to the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Now <6258 <attah > when this <2088 zeh > letter <5612 cepher > is come <0935 bow> > unto thee, behold <2009 hinneh >, I have [therewith] sent <7971 shalach > Naaman <5283 Na<aman > my servant <5650 <ebed > to thee, that thou mayest recover <0622 >acaph > him of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath >.

:7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had read <7121 qara> > the letter <5612 cepher >, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and said <0559 >amar >, [Am] I God <0430 >elohiym >, to kill <4191 muwth > and to make alive <2421 chayah >, that this <2088 zeh > man doth send <7971 shalach > unto me to recover <0622 >acaph > a man <0376 >iysh > of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath >? wherefore consider <3045 yada< >, I pray <4994 na> > you, and see <7200 ra>ah > how <3588 kiy > he seeketh <0579 >anah > a quarrel <0579 >anah > against me.

:8 And it was [so], when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had heard <8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, that he sent <7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek >, saying <0559 >amar >, Wherefore <4100 mah > hast thou rent <7167 qara< > thy clothes <0899 beged >? let him come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> > to me, and he shall know <3045 yada< > that there is a prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:9. So Naaman <5283 Na<aman > came <0935 bow> > with his horses <5483 cuwc > and with his chariot <7393 rekeb >, and stood <5975 <amad > at the door <6607 pethach > of the house <1004 bayith > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >.

:10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sent <7971 shalach > a messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Go <1980 halak > and wash <7364 rachats > in Jordan <3383 Yarden > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am >, and thy flesh <1320 basar > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to thee, and thou shalt be clean <2891 taher >.

:11 But Naaman <5283 Na<aman > was wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and went <3212 yalak > away, and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I thought <0559 >amar >, He will surely come <3318 yatsa> > out to me, and stand <5975 <amad >, and call <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >, and strike <5130 nuwph > his hand <3027 yad > over <0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm >, and recover <0622 >acaph > the leper <6879 tsara< >.

:12 [Are] not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554 Parpar >, rivers <5104 nahar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, better <2896 towb > than all <3605 kol > the waters <4325 mayim > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >? may I not wash <7364 rachats > in them, and be clean <2891 taher >? So he turned <6437 panah > and went <3212 yalak > away in a rage <2534 chemah >.

:13 And his servants <5650 <ebed > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash >, and spake <1696 dabar > unto him, and said <0559 >amar >, My father <1>, [if] the prophet <5030 nabiy> > had bid <1696 dabar > thee [do some] great <1419 gadowl > thing <1697 dabar >, wouldest thou not have done <6213 <asah > [it]? how <0637 >aph > much rather then, when <3588 kiy > he saith <0559 >amar > to thee, Wash <7364 rachats >, and be clean <2891 taher >?

:14 Then went <3381 yarad > he down <3381 yarad >, and dipped <2881 tabal > himself seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am > in Jordan <3383 Yarden >, according to the saying <1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >:and his flesh <1320 basar > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > like unto the flesh <1320 basar > of a little <6995 qoten > child <5288 na<ar >, and he was clean <2891 taher >.

:15. And he returned <7725 shuwb > to the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, he and all <3605 kol > his company <4264 machaneh >, and came <0935 bow> >, and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him:and he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, now <4994 na> > I know <3045 yada< > that [there is] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >, but in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:now <6258 <attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, take <3947 laqach > a blessing <1293 B@rakah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >.

:16 But he said <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad >, I will receive <3947 laqach > none. And he urged <6484 patsar > him to take <3947 laqach > [it]; but he refused <3985 ma>en >.

:17 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar >, Shall there not then, I pray <4994 na> > thee, be given <5414 nathan > to thy servant <5650 <ebed > two mules <6505 pered >' burden <4853 massa> > of earth <0127 >adamah >? for thy servant <5650 <ebed > will henceforth <5750 <owd > offer <6213 <asah > neither <3808 lo> > burnt <5930 <olah > offering nor sacrifice <2077 zebach > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, but unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:18 In this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed >, [that] when my master <0113 >adown > goeth <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown > to worship <7812 shachah > there <8033 sham >, and he leaneth <8127 shen > on <5921 <al > my hand <3027 yad >, and I bow <7812 shachah > myself in the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >:when I bow <7812 shachah > down <7812 shachah > myself in the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed > in this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.

:19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Go <3212 yalak > in peace <7965 shalowm >. So he departed <3212 yalak > from him a little <3530 kibrah > way <0776 >erets >.

:20. But Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy >, the servant <5288 na<ar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, my master <0113 >adown > hath spared <2820 chasak > Naaman <5283 Na<aman > this <2088 zeh > Syrian <0761 >Arammiy >, in not receiving <3947 laqach > at his hands <3027 yad > that which <0834 >aher > he brought <0935 bow> >:but, [as] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, I will run <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > him, and take <3947 laqach > somewhat <3972 m@uwmah > of him.

:21 So Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > followed <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > Naaman <5283 Na<aman >. And when Naaman <5283 Na<aman > saw <7200 ra>ah > [him] running <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > him, he lighted <5307 naphal > down from the chariot <4818 merkabah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and said <0559 >amar >, [Is] all well <7965 shalowm >?

:22 And he said <0559 >amar >, All [is] well <7965 shalowm >. My master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > me, saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, even now <6258 <attah > there be come <0935 bow> > to me from mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > two <8147 sh@nayim > young <5288 na<ar > men of the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >:give <5414 nathan > them, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a talent <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >.

:23 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar >, Be content <2974 ya>al >, take <3947 laqach > two talents <3603 kikkar >. And he urged <6555 parats > him, and bound <6887 tsarar > two <8147 sh@nayim > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > in two <8147 sh@nayim > bags <2754 chariyt >, with two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >, and laid <5414 nathan > [them] upon two <8147 sh@nayim > of his servants <5288 na<ar >; and they bare <5375 nasa> > [them] before <6440 paniym > him.

:25 But he went <0935 bow> > in, and stood <5975 <amad > before <0413 >el > his master <0113 >adown >.

And he answered <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > ye.

:3 And one <0259 >echad > said <0559 >amar >, Be content <2974 ya>al >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, and go <3212 yalak > with thy servants <5650 <ebed >. And he answered <0559 >amar >, I will go <3212 yalak >.

:4 So he went <3212 yalak > with them. And when they came <0935 bow> > to Jordan <3383 Yarden >, they cut <1504 gazar > down wood <6086 <ets >.

:5 But as one <0259 >echad > was felling <5307 naphal > a beam <6982 qowrah >, the axe <1270 barzel > head <1270 barzel > fell <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the water <4325 mayim >:and he cried <6817 tsa<aq >, and said <0559 >amar >, Alas <0160 >ahabah >, master <0113 >adown >! for it was borrowed <7592 sha>al >.

:6 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar >, Where <0575 >an > fell <5307 naphal > it? And he shewed <7200 ra>ah > him the place <4725 maqowm >. And he cut <7094 qatsab > down a stick <6086 <ets >, and cast <7993 shalak > [it] in thither <8033 sham >; and the iron <1270 barzel > did swim <6687 tsuwph >.

:7 Therefore said <0559 >amar > he, Take <7311 ruwm > [it] up to thee. And he put <7971 shalach > out his hand <3027 yad >, and took <3947 laqach > it.

:8. Then the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > warred <3898 lacham > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and took counsel <3289 ya<ats > with his servants <5650 <ebed >, saying <0559 >amar >, In such <6423 p@loniy > and such <0492 >almoniy > a place <4725 maqowm > [shall be] my camp <8466 tachanah >.

:9 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > sent <7971 shalach > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Beware <8104 shamar > that thou pass <5674 <abar > not such <2088 zeh > a place <4725 maqowm >; for thither <8033 sham > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > are come <5185 nacheth > down <5181 nachath >.

:10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent <7971 shalach > to the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > told <0559 >amar > him and warned <2094 zahar > him of, and saved <8104 shamar > himself there <8033 sham >, not once <0259 >echad > nor <3808 lo> > twice <8147 sh@nayim >.

:11 Therefore the heart <3820 leb > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sore troubled <5590 ca<ar > for this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >; and he called <7121 qara> > his servants <5650 <ebed >, and said <0559 >amar > unto them, Will ye not shew <5046 nagad > me which <4310 miy > of us [is] for the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?

:12 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar >, None <3808 lo> >, my lord <0113 >adown >, O king <4428 melek >:but Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that [is] in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, telleth <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > the words <1697 dabar > that thou speakest <1696 dabar > in thy bedchamber.

:13. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > and spy <7200 ra>ah > where <0351 >eykoh > he [is], that I may send <7971 shalach > and fetch <3947 laqach > him. And it was told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, [he is] in Dothan <1886 Dothan >.

:14 Therefore sent <7971 shalach > he thither <8033 sham > horses <5483 cuwc >, and chariots <7393 rekeb >, and a great <3515 kabed > host <2428 chayil >:and they came <0935 bow> > by night <3915 layil >, and compassed <5362 naqaph > the city <5892 <iyr > about <5362 naqaph >.

:15 And when the servant <8334 sharath > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > was risen <6965 quwm > early <7925 shakam >, and gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, behold <2009 hinneh >, an host <2428 chayil > compassed <5437 cabab > the city <5892 <iyr > both with horses <5483 cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb >. And his servant <5288 na<ar > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Alas <0160 >ahabah >, my master <0113 >adown >! how <0349 >eyk > shall we do <6213 <asah >?

:16 And he answered <0559 >amar >, Fear <3372 yare> > not:for they that [be] with us [are] more <7227 rab > than they that [be] with them.

:17 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal >, and said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, open <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin >, that he may see <7200 ra>ah >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > opened <6491 paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the young <5288 na<ar > man; and he saw <7200 ra>ah >:and, behold <2009 hinneh >, the mountain <2022 har > [was] full <4390 male> > of horses <5483 cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh > round <5439 cabiyb > about Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >.

:18 And when they came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him, Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221 nakah > this <2088 zeh > people <1471 gowy >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, with blindness <5575 canver >. And he smote <5221 nakah > them with blindness <5575 canver > according to the word <1697 dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >.

:19 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto them, This [is] not the way <1870 derek >, neither <3808 lo> > [is] this <2090 zoh > the city <5892 <iyr >:follow me, and I will bring <3212 yalak > you to the man <0376 >iysh > whom <0834 >aher > ye seek <1245 baqash >. But he led <3212 yalak > them to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

:20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they were come <0935 bow> > into Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, open <6491 paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of these <0428 >el-leh > [men], that they may see <7200 ra>ah >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > opened <6491 paqach > their eyes <5869 <ayin >, and they saw <7200 ra>ah >; and, behold <2009 hinneh >, [they were] in the midst <8432 tavek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

:21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >, when he saw <7200 ra>ah > them, My father <1>, shall I smite <5221 nakah > [them]? shall I smite <5221 nakah > [them]?

:22 And he answered <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt not smite <5221 nakah > [them]:wouldest thou smite <5221 nakah > those whom <0834 >aher > thou hast taken captive <7617 shabah > with thy sword <2719 chereb > and with thy bow <7198 qesheth >? set <7760 suwm > bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > before <6440 paniym > them, that they may eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >, and go <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 >adown >.

:23 And he prepared <3739 karah > great <1419 gadowl > provision <3740 kerah > for them:and when they had eaten <0398 >akal > and drunk <8354 shathah >, he sent <7971 shalach > them away, and they went <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 >adown >. So the bands <1416 g@duwd > of Syria <0758 >Aram > came <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more into the land <0776 >erets > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:24. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > this <3651 ken >, that Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > his host, and went <5927 <alah > up, and besieged <6696 tsuwr > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

:25 And there was a great <1419 gadowl > famine <7458 ra<ab > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >:and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they besieged <6696 tsuwr > it, until <5704 <ad > an ass's <2543 chamowr > head <7218 ro>sh > was [sold] for fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > [pieces] of silver <3701 keceph >, and the fourth <7255 roba< > part of a cab <6894 qab > of dove's <1686 dibyown > dung <2755 charey-yowniym > for five <2568 chamesh > [pieces] of silver <3701 keceph >.

:26 And as the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > was passing <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346 chowmah >, there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a woman <0802 >ishshah > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Help <3467 yasha< >, my lord <0113 >adown >, O king <4428 melek >.

:27 And he said <0559 >amar >, If the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > do not help <3467 yasha< > thee, whence <0370 >aiyn > shall I help <3467 yasha< > thee? out of the barnfloor <1637 goren >, or <0176 >ow > out of the winepress <3342 yeqeb >?

:28 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto her, What <4100 mah > aileth thee? And she answered <0559 >amar >, This <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Give <5414 nathan > thy son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398 >akal > him to day <3117 yowm >, and we will eat <0398 >akal > my son <1121 ben > to morrow <4279 machar >.

:29 So we boiled <1310 bashal > my son <1121 ben >, and did eat <0398 >akal > him:and I said <0559 >amar > unto her on the next <0312 >acher > day <3117 yowm >, Give <5414 nathan > thy son <1121 ben >, that we may eat <0398 >akal > him:and she hath hid <2244> her son <1121 ben >.

:30 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the king <4428 melek > heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the woman <0802 >ishshah >, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >; and he passed <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346 chowmah >, and the people <5971 <am > looked <7200 ra>ah >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, [he had] sackcloth <8242 saq > within <1004 bayith > upon his flesh <1320 basar >.

:31 Then he said <0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah > so <3541 koh > and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > to me, if <0518 >im > the head <7218 ro>sh > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat <8202 Shaphat > shall stand <5975 <amad > on <5921 <al > him this day <3117 yowm >.

:32 But Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sat <3427 yashab > in his house <1004 bayith >, and the elders <2205 zaqen > sat <3427 yashab > with him; and [the king] sent <7971 shalach > a man <0376 >iysh > from before <6440 paniym > him:but ere <2962 terem > the messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to him, he said <0559 >amar > to the elders <2205 zaqen >, See <7200 ra>ah > ye how <3588 kiy > this son <1121 ben > of a murderer <7523 ratsach > hath sent <7971 shalach > to take <5493 cuwr > away mine head <7218 ro>sh >? look <7200 ra>ah >, when the messenger <4397 mal>ak > cometh <0935 bow> >, shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817 deleth >, and hold <3905 lachats > him fast at the door <1817 deleth >:[is] not the sound <6963 qowl > of his master's <0113 >adown > feet <7272 regel > behind <0310 >achar > him?

:33 And while he yet <5750 <owd > talked <1696 dabar > with them, behold <2009 hinneh >, the messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > unto him:and he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > [is] of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; what <4100 mah > should I wait <3176 yachal > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > any longer <5750 <owd >?

:2Kings 7

:1. Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, To morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth > [shall] a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > [be sold] for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and two measures <5429 c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel >, in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.

:2 Then a lord <7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand <3027 yad > the king <4428 melek > leaned <8172 sha<an > answered <6030 <anah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, [if] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would make <6213 <asah > windows <0699 >arubbah > in heaven <8064 shamayim >, might this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > be? And he said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > [it] with thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, but shalt not eat <0398 >akal > thereof.

:3. And there were four <0702 >arba< > leprous <6879 tsara< > men <0582 >enowsh > at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the gate <8179 sha<ar >:and they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another <7453 rea< >, Why <4100 mah > sit <3427 yashab > we here <6311 poh > until <5704 <ad > we die <4191 muwth >?

:4 If <0518 >im > we say <0559 >amar >, We will enter <0935 bow> > into the city <5892 <iyr >, then the famine <7458 ra<ab > [is] in the city <5892 <iyr >, and we shall die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >:and if <0518 >im > we sit <3427 yashab > still here <6311 poh >, we die <4191 muwth > also. Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak >, and let us fall <5307 naphal > unto the host <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >:if <0518 >im > they save <2421 chayah > us alive <2421 chayah >, we shall live <2421 chayah >; and if <0518 >im > they kill <4191 muwth > us, we shall but die <4191 muwth >.

:5 And they rose <6965 quwm > up in the twilight <5399 nesheph >, to go <0935 bow> > unto the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >:and when they were come <0935 bow> > to the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the camp <4264 machaneh > of Syria <0758 >Aram >, behold <2009 hinneh >, [there <8033 sham > was] no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > there <8033 sham >.

:6 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > had made the host <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram > to hear <8085 shama< > a noise <6963 qowl > of chariots <7393 rekeb >, and a noise <6963 qowl > of horses <5483 cuwc >, [even] the noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > host <2428 chayil >:and they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, Lo <2009 hinneh >, the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath hired <7936 sakar > against <5921 <al > us the kings <4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy >, and the kings <4428 melek > of the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >, to come <0935 bow> > upon us.

:7 Wherefore they arose <6965 quwm > and fled <5127 nuwc > in the twilight <5399 nesheph >, and left <5800 <azab > their tents <0168 >ohel >, and their horses <5483 cuwc >, and their asses <2543 chamowr >, even the camp <4264 machaneh > as it [was], and fled <5127 nuwc > for their life <5315 nephesh >.

:8 And when <3588 kiy > these <0428 >el-leh > lepers <6879 tsara< > came<0935 bow> > to the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the camp <4264 machaneh >, they went <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > one <0259 >echad > tent <0168 >ohel >, and did eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >, and carried <5375 nasa> > thence <8033 sham > silver <3701 keceph >, and gold <2091 zahab >, and raiment <0899 beged >, and went <3212 yalak > and hid <2934 taman > [it]; and came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and entered <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > another <0312 >acher > tent <0168 >ohel >, and carried <5375 nasa> > thence <8033 sham > [also], and went <3212 yalak > and hid <2934 taman > [it].

:9 Then they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another <7453 rea< >, We do <6213 <asah > not well <3651 ken >:this <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > [is] a day <3117 yowm > of good tidings <1309 b@sowrah >, and we hold <2814 chashah > our peace <2814 chashah >:if we tarry <2442 chakah > till <5704 <ad > the morning <1242 boqer > light <0216 >owr >, some mischief <5771 <avon > will come <4672 matsa> > upon us:now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak >, that we may go <0935 bow> > and tell <5046 nagad > the king's <4428 melek > household <1004 bayith >.

:10 So they came <0935 bow> > and called <7121 qara> > unto the porter <7778 show<er > of the city <5892 <iyr >:and they told <5046 nagad > them, saying <0559 >amar >, We came <0935 bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, [there <8033 sham > was] no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > there <8033 sham >, neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > of man <0120 >adam >, but horses <5483 cuwc > tied <0631 >acar >, and asses <2543 chamowr > tied <0631 >acar >, and the tents <0168 >ohel > as they [were].

:11 And he called <7121 qara> > the porters <7778 show<er >; and they told <5046 nagad > [it] to the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah >.

:12. And the king <4428 melek > arose <6965 quwm > in the night <3915 layil >, and said <0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed >, I will now <4994 na> > shew <5046 nagad > you what the Syrians <0758 >Aram > have done <6213 <asah > to us.

:13 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Let [some] take <3947 laqach >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, five <2568 chamesh > of the horses <5483 cuwc > that remain <7604 sha>ar >, which <0834 >aher > are left <7604 sha>ar > in the city, (behold, they [are] as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that are left <7604 sha>ar > in it:behold <2009 hinneh >, [I say], they [are] even as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > of the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > that are consumed <8552 tamam >:) and let us send <7971 shalach > and see <7200 ra>ah >.

:10 And the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, and [there shall be] none <0369 >ayin > to bury <6912 qabar > [her]. And he opened <6605 pathach > the door <1817 deleth >, and fled <5127 nuwc >.

:11. Then Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to the servants <5650 <ebed > of his lord <0113 >adown >:and [one] said <0559 >amar > unto him, [Is] all well <7965 shalowm >? wherefore <4069 madduwa< > came <0935 bow> > this <2088 zeh > mad <7696 shaga< > [fellow] to thee? And he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Ye know <3045 yada< > the man <0376 >iysh >, and his communication <7879 siyach >.

:12 And they said <0559 >amar >, [It is] false <8267 sheqer >; tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Thus <2063 zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > spake <0559 >amar > he to me, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I have anointed <4886 mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over <0413 >el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:13 Then they hasted <4116 mahar >, and took <3947 laqach > every man <0376 >iysh > his garment <0899 beged >, and put <7760 suwm > [it] under <8478 tachath > him on <0413 >el > the top <1634 gerem > of the stairs <4609 ma<alah >, and blew <8628 taqa< > with trumpets <7782 showphar >, saying <0559 >amar >, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > is king <4427 malak >.

:14 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy > conspired <7194 qashar > against <0413 >el > Joram <3141 Yowram >. (Now Joram <3141 Yowram > had kept <8104 shamar > Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >, he and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, because <6440 paniym > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.

:15 But king <4428 melek > Joram <3188 yachas > was returned <7725 shuwb > to be healed <7495 rapha> > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which <0834 >aher > the Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > had given <5221 nakah > him, when he fought <3898 lacham > with Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >.) And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, If <0518 >im > it be your minds <5315 nephesh >, [then] let none <0408 >al > go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > [nor] escape <6412 paliyt > out of the city <5892 <iyr > to go <3212 yalak > to tell <5046 nagad > [it] in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >.

:16. So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > rode <7392 rakab > in a chariot, and went <3212 yalak > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >; for Joram <3141 Yowram > lay <7901 shakab > there <8033 sham >. And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 ra>ah > Joram <3141 Yowram >.

:17 And there stood <5975 <amad > a watchman <6822 tsaphah > on <5921 <al > the tower <4026 migdal > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, and he spied <7200 ra>ah > the company <8229 shiph<ah > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > as he came <0935 bow> >, and said <0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a company <8229 shiph<ah >. And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > an horseman <7395 rakkab >, and send <7971 shalach > to meet <7125 qir>ah > them, and let him say <0559 >amar >, [Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >?

:18 So there went <3212 yalak > one on horseback to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, [Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm >? turn <5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me. And the watchman <6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad >, saying <0559 >amar >, The messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to them, but he cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb >.

:19 Then he sent <7971 shalach > out a second <8145 sheniy > on horseback, which came <0935 bow> > to them, and said <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, [Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >? And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > answered <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm >? turn <5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me.

:20 And the watchman <6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad >, saying <0559 >amar >, He came <0935 bow> > even unto them, and cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb >:and the driving <4491 minhag > [is] like the driving <4491 minhag > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy >; for he driveth <5090 nahag > furiously <7697 shigga<own >.

:21 And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar >, Make ready <0631 >acar >. And his chariot <7393 rekeb > was made ready <0631 >acar >. And Joram <3188 yachas > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <3318 yatsa> > out, each <0376 >iysh > in his chariot <7393 rekeb >, and they went <3318 yatsa> > out against <7125 qir>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and met <4672 matsa> > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy >.

:22 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Joram <3188 yachas > saw <7200 ra>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, that he said <0559 >amar >, [Is it] peace <7965 shalowm >, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >? And he answered <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > peace <7965 shalowm >, so long <5704 <ad > as the whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > of thy mother <0517 >em > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > and her witchcrafts <3785 kesheph > [are so] many <7227 rab >?

:23 And Joram <3188 yachas > turned <2015 haphak > his hands <3027 yad >, and fled <5127 nuwc >, and said <0559 >amar > to Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >, [There is] treachery <4820 mirmah >, O Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >.

:24 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > drew a bow <7198 qesheth > with his full <4390 male> > strength <3027 yad >, and smote <5221 nakah > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > between <0996 beyn > his arms <2220 z@rowa< >, and the arrow <2678 chitstsiy > went <3318 yatsa> > out at his heart <3820 leb >, and he sunk <3766 kara< > down in his chariot <7393 rekeb >.

:25 Then said <0559 >amar > [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920 Bidqar > his captain <7991 shaliysh >, Take <5375 nasa> > up, [and] cast <7993 shalak > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of the field <7704 sadeh > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy >:for remember <2142 zakar > how that, when I and thou rode <7392 rakab > together <6776 tsemed > after <0310 >achar > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his father <1>, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > laid <5375 nasa> > this <2088 zeh > burden <4853 massa> > upon him;

:26 Surely I have seen <7200 ra>ah > yesterday <0570 >emesh > the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, and the blood <1818 dam > of his sons <1121 ben >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will requite <7999 shalam > thee in this <2063 zo>th > plat <2513 chelqah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Now <6258 <attah > therefore take <5375 nasa> > [and] cast <7993 shalak > him into the plat <2513 chelqah > [of ground], according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:27 But when Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [this], he fled <5127 nuwc > by the way <1870 derek > of the garden <1588 gan > house <1004 bayith >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > followed <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221 nakah > him also <1571 gam > in the chariot <4818 merkabah >. [And they did so] at the going <4608 ma<aleh > up to Gur <1483 Guwr >, which <0834 >aher > [is] by Ibleam <2991 Yibl@<am >. And he fled <5127 nuwc > to Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and died <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >.

:28 And his servants <5650 <ebed > carried <7392 rakab > him in a chariot to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and buried <6912 qabar > him in his sepulchre <6900 q@buwrah > with his fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >.

:29 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3188 yachas > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > began Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

:30. And when Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > was come <0935 bow> > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard <8085 shama< > [of it]; and she painted her face <5869 <ayin >, and tired <3190 yatab > her head <7218 ro>sh >, and looked <8259 shaqaph > out at <1157 b@<ad > a window <2474 challown >.

:31 And as Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > entered <0935 bow> > in at the gate <8179sha<ar >, she said <0559 >amar >, [Had] Zimri <2174 Zimriy > peace <7965 shalowm >, who slew <2026 harag > his master <0113 >adown >?

:32 And he lifted <5375 nasa> > up his face <6440 paniym > to the window <2474 challown >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > [is] on <0854 >eth > my side? who <4310 miy >? And there looked <8259 shaqaph > out to him two <8147 sh@nayim > [or] three <7969 shalowsh > eunuchs <5631 cariyc >.

:33 And he said <0559 >amar >, Throw <8058 shamat > her down <8058 shamat >. So they threw <8058 shamat > her down <8058 shamat >:and [some] of her blood <1818 dam > was sprinkled <5137 nazah > on <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr >, and on <0413 >el > the horses <5483 cuwc >:and he trode <7429 ramac > her under foot.

:34 And when he was come <0935 bow> > in, he did eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Go <6485 paqad >, see now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th > cursed <0779 >arar > [woman], and bury <6912 qabar > her:for she [is] a king's <4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath >.

:35 And they went <3212 yalak > to bury <6912 qabar > her:but they found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > more of her than the skull <1538 gulgoleth >, and the feet <7272 regel >, and the palms <3709 kaph > of [her] hands <3027 yad >.

:36 Wherefore they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, and told <5046 nagad > him. And he said <0559 >amar >, This <1931 huw> > [is] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant <5650 <ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >, In the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > shall dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398 >akal > the flesh <1320 basar > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >:

:37 And the carcase <5038 n@belah > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the field <7704 sadeh > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >; [so] that they shall not say <0559 >amar >, This <2063 zo>th > [is] Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.

:2Kings 10

:1. And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > had seventy <7657 shib<iym. > sons <1121 ben > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher >, and sent <7971 shalach > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, unto the rulers <8269 sar > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, to the elders <2205 zaqen >, and to them that brought <0539 >aman > up Ahab's <0256 >Ach>ab > [children], saying <0559 >amar >,

:2 Now <6258 <attah > as soon as this <2088 zeh > letter <5612 cepher > cometh <0935 bow> > to you, seeing your master's <0113 >adown > sons <1121 ben > [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots <7393 rekeb > and horses <5483 cuwc >, a fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr > also, and armour <5402 nesheq >;

:3 Look <7200 ra>ah > even out the best <2896 towb > and meetest <3477 yashar > of your master's <0113 >adown > sons <1121 ben >, and set <7760 suwm > [him] on <5921 <al > his father's <1> throne <3678 kicce> >, and fight <3898 lacham > for your master's <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith >.

:4 But they were exceedingly <3966 m@<od > afraid <3372 yare> >, and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > not before <6440 paniym > him:how <0349 >eyk > then shall we stand <5975 <amad >?

:5 And he that [was] over <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith >, and he that [was] over <5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr >, the elders <2205 zaqen > also, and the bringers <0539 >aman > up [of the children], sent <7971 shalach > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, saying <0559 >amar >, We [are] thy servants <5650 <ebed >, and will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > that thou shalt bid <0559 >amar > us; we will not make any <0376 >iysh > king <4427 malak >:do <6213 <asah > thou [that which is] good <2896 towb > in thine eyes <5869 <ayin >.

:6 Then he wrote <3789 kathab > a letter <5612 cepher > the second <8145 sheniy > time to them, saying <0559 >amar >, If <0518 >im > ye [be] mine, and [if <0518 >im >] ye will hearken <8085 shama< > unto my voice <6963 qowl >, take <3947 laqach > ye the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the men <0582 >enowsh > your master's <0113 >adown > sons <1121 ben >, and come <0935 bow> > to me to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > by to morrow <4279 machar > this time <6256 <eth >. Now the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben >, [being] seventy <7657 shib<iym. > persons <0376 >iysh >, [were] with the great <1419 gadowl > men of the city <5892 <iyr >, which brought <1431 gadal > them up.

:7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the letter <5612 cepher > came <0935 bow> > to them, that they took <3947 laqach > the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben >, and slew <7819 shachat > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > persons <0376 >iysh >, and put <7760 suwm > their heads <7218 ro>sh > in baskets <1731 duwd >, and sent <7971 shalach > him [them] to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >.

:8 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak >, and told <5046 nagad > him, saying <0559 >amar >, They have brought <0935 bow> > the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Lay <7760 suwm > ye them in two <8147 sh@nayim > heaps <6632 tsab > at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the gate <8179 sha<ar > until <5704 <ad > the morning <1242 boqer >.

:9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242 boqer >, that he went <3318 yatsa> > out, and stood <5975 <amad >, and said <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, Ye [be] righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >:behold <2009 hinneh >, I conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > my master <0113 >adown >, and slew <2026 harag > him:but who <4310 miy > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >?

:10 Know <3045 yada< > now <0645 >ephow > that there shall fall <5307 naphal > unto the earth <0776 >erets > nothing <3808 lo> > of the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >:for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah > [that] which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant <5650 <ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.

:11 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > that remained <7604 sha>ar > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, and all <3605 kol > his great <1419 gadowl > men, and his kinsfolks <3045 yada< >, and his priests <3548 kohen >, until <5704 <ad > he left <7604 sha>ar > him none <1115 biltiy > remaining <8300 sariyd >.

:12 And he arose <6965 quwm > and departed <0935 bow> >, and came <1980 halak > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >. [And] as he [was] at the shearing house <1004 bayith > in the way <1870 derek >,

:13 Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > met <4672 matsa> > with the brethren <0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > [are] ye?

:14 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <8610 taphas > them alive <2416 chay >. And they took <8610 taphas > them alive <2416 chay >, and slew <7819 shachat > them at the pit <0953 bowr > of the shearing <1044 Beyth <Eqed > house <1004 bayith >, [even] two <8147 sh@nayim > and forty <0705 >arba<iym > men <0376 >iysh >; neither <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > he any <0376 >iysh > of them.

And Jehonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > answered <0559 >amar >, It is. If it be, give <5414 nathan > [me] thine hand <3027 yad >. And he gave <5414 nathan > [him] his hand <3027 yad >; and he took <5927 <alah > him up to him into <0413 >el > the chariot <4818 merkabah >.

:25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon as he had made an end <3615 kalah > of offering <6213 <asah > the burnt <5930 <olah > offering, that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > to the guard <7323 ruwts > and to the captains <7991 shaliysh >, Go <0935 bow> > in, [and] slay <5221 nakah > them; let none <0408 >al > come <3381 yarad > forth <3318 yatsa> >.

:28 Thus <3541 koh > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > destroyed <8045 shamad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > out of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

Howbeit [from] the sins <2399 chet> > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > departed <5493 cuwr > not from after <0310 >achar > them, [to wit], the golden <2091 zahab > calves <5695 <egel > that [were] in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and that [were] in Dan <1835 Dan >.

And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > went <3212 yalak > to Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > to meet <7125 qir>ah > Tiglathpileser <8407 Tiglath Pil>ecer > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and saw <7200 ra>ah > an altar <4196 mizbeach > that [was] at Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >:and king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > sent <7971 shalach > to Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest <3548 kohen > the fashion <1823 d@muwth > of the altar <4196 mizbeach >, and the pattern <8403 tabniyth > of it, according to all <3605 kol > the workmanship <4639 ma<aseh > thereof.

:14 And he brought <7126 qarab > also the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach >, which <0834 >aher > [was] before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, from the forefront <6440 paniym > of the house <1004 bayith >, from between <0996 beyn > the altar <4196 mizbeach > and the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and put <5414 nathan > it on <5921 <al > the north <6828 tsaphown > side <3409 yarek > of the altar <4196 mizbeach >.

:15 And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > commanded <6680 tsavah > Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest <3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >, Upon the great <1419 gadowl > altar <4196 mizbeach > burn <6999 qatar > the morning <1242 boqer > burnt <5930 <olah > offering, and the evening <6153 <ereb > meat offering <4503 minchah >, and the king's <4428 melek > burnt <5930 <olah > sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt <5930 <olah > offering of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, and their meat offering <4503 minchah >, and their drink <5262 necek > offerings; and sprinkle <2236 zaraq > upon it all <3605 kol > the blood <1818 dam > of the burnt <5930 <olah > offering, and all <3605 kol > the blood <1818 dam > of the sacrifice <2077 zebach >:and the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be for me to enquire <1239 baqar > [by].

:1. In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > the son <1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > to reign <4427 malak > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh >.

:2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, but not as the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him.

:3 Against <5921 <al > him came <5927 <alah > up Shalmaneser <8022 Shalman>ecer > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >; and Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > became <1961 hayah > his servant <5650 <ebed >, and gave <7725 shuwb > him presents <4503 minchah >.

:4 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > found <4672 matsa> > conspiracy <7195 qesher > in Hoshea <1954 Howshea< >:for he had sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to So <5471 Cow> > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and brought <5927 <alah > no <3808 lo> > present <4503 minchah > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, as [he had done] year <8141 shaneh > by year <8141 shaneh >:therefore the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > shut <6113 <atsar > him up, and bound <0631 >acar > him in prison.

:5 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5927 <alah > up throughout all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets >, and went <5927 <alah > up to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh >.

:6 In the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > took <3920 lakad > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and carried <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > away <1540 galah > into Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and placed <3427 yashab > them in Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] the river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and in the cities <5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday >.

For [so] it was, that the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had sinned <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, which had brought <5927 <alah > them up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and had feared <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >,

:8 And walked <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 chuqqah > of the heathen <1471 gowy >, whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher > they had made <6213 <asah >.

:9 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did secretly <2644 chapha> > [those] things <1697 dabar > that [were] not right <3651 ken > against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and they built <1129 banah > them high <1116 bamah > places in all <3605 kol > their cities <5892 <iyr >, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen <5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.

:11 And there <8033 sham > they burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > in all <3605 kol > the high <1116 bamah > places, as [did] the heathen <1471 gowy > whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > before <6440 paniym > them; and wrought <6213 <asah > wicked <7451 ra< > things <1697 dabar > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to anger <3707 ka<ac >:

:12 For they served <5647 <abad > idols <1544 gilluwl >, whereof <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had said <0559 >amar > unto them, Ye shall not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.

:13 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > testified <5749 <uwd > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and against Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, by all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, [and by] all <3605 kol > the seers <2374 chozeh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Turn <7725 shuwb > ye from your evil <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek >, and keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > [and] my statutes <2708 chuqqah >, according to all <3605 kol > the law <8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers <1>, and which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > to you by my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.

:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085 shama< >, but hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph >, like to the neck <6203 <oreph > of their fathers <1>, that did not believe <0539 >aman > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >.

:15 And they rejected <3988 ma>ac > his statutes <2706 choq >, and his covenant <1285 b@riyth > that he made <3772 karath > with their fathers <1>, and his testimonies <5715> which <0834 >aher > he testified <5749 <uwd > against them; and they followed vanity <1892 hebel >, and became <1891 habal > vain <1891 habal >, and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the heathen <1471 gowy > that [were] round <5439 cabiyb > about them, [concerning] whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had charged <6680 tsavah > them, that they should not do <6213 <asah > like them.

:16 And they left <5800 <azab > all <3605 kol > the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and made <6213 <asah > them molten <4541 maccekah > images, [even] two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <egel >, and made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah >, and worshipped <7812 shachah > all <3605 kol > the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim >, and served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >.

:17 And they caused their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the fire <0784 >esh >, and used divination <7081 qecem > and enchantments <5172 nachash >, and sold <4376 makar > themselves to do <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to provoke him to anger <3707 ka<ac >.

:18 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was very <3966 m@<od > angry <0599 >anaph > with Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and removed <5493 cuwr > them out of his sight <6440 paniym >:there was none <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > but the tribe <7626 shebet > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad >.

:19 Also <1571 gam > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > kept <8104 shamar > not the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, but walked <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 chuqqah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > which <0834 >aher > they made <6213 <asah >.

:20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rejected <3988 ma>ac > all <3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and afflicted <6031 <anah > them, and delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of spoilers <8154 shacah >, until <5704 <ad > he had cast <7993 shalak > them out of his sight <6440 paniym >.

:21 For he rent <7167 qara< > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >; and they made Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > king <4427 malak >:and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > drave <5071 n@dabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from following <0310 >achar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made them sin <2398 chata> > a great <1419 gadowl > sin <2401 chata>ah >.

:22 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah >; they departed <5493 cuwr > not from them;

:23 Until <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > removed <5493 cuwr > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of his sight <6440 paniym >, as he had said <1696 dabar > by all <3605 kol > his servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >. So was Israel <3478 Yisra>el > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > out of their own land <0127 >adamah > to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

:24. And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > brought <0935 bow> > [men] from Babylon <0894 Babel >, and from Cuthah <3575 Kuwth >, and from Ava <5755 <Ivvah >, and from Hamath <2574 Chamath >, and from Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >, and placed <3427 yashab > [them] in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > instead <8478 tachath > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:and they possessed <3423 yarash > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof.

:25 And [so] it was at the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of their dwelling <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >, [that] they feared <3372 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > lions <0738 >ariy > among them, which slew <2026 harag > [some] of them.

:26 Wherefore they spake <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, The nations <1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > thou hast removed <1540 galah >, and placed <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, know <3045 yada< > not the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land <0776 >erets >:therefore he hath sent <7971 shalach > lions <0738 >ariy > among them, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they slay <4191 muwth > them, because <0834 >aher > they know <3045 yada< > not the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land <0776 >erets >.

:27 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > commanded <6680 tsavah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Carry <1980 halak > thither <8033 sham > one <0259 >echad > of the priests <3548 kohen > whom <0834 >aher > ye brought <1540 galah > from thence <8033 sham >; and let them go <3212 yalak > and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >, and let him teach <3384 yarah > them the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land <0776 >erets >.

:28 Then one <0259 >echad > of the priests <3548 kohen > whom <0834 >aher > they had carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > from Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > came <0935 bow> > and dwelt <3427 yashab > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and taught <3384 yarah > them how <0349 >eyk > they should fear <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:29 Howbeit every nation <1471 gowy > made <6213 <asah > gods <0430 >elohiym > of their own, and put <3240 yanach > [them] in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher > the Samaritans <8118 Shom@roniy > had made <6213 <asah >, every nation <1471 gowy > in their cities <5892 <iyr > wherein they dwelt <3427 yashab >.

:30 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of Babylon <0894 Babel > made <6213 <asah > Succothbenoth <5524 Cukkowth b@nowth >, and the men <0582 >enowsh > of Cuth <3575 Kuwth > made <6213 <asah > Nergal <5370 Nergal >, and the men <0582 >enowsh > of Hamath <2574 Chamath > made <6213 <asah > Ashima <0807 >Ashiyma> >,

:31 And the Avites <5757 <Avviy > made <6213 <asah > Nibhaz <5026 Nibchaz > and Tartak <8662 Tartaq >, and the Sepharvites <5616 C@pharviy > burnt <8313 saraph > their children <1121 ben > in fire <0784 >esh > to Adrammelech <0152 >Adrammelek > and Anammelech <6048 <Anammelek >, the gods <0430 >elohiym > of Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >.

:32 So they feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made <6213 <asah > unto themselves of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of them priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places, which <1961 hayah > sacrificed <6213 <asah > for them in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places.

:33 They feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and served <5647 <abad > their own gods <0430 >elohiym >, after the manner <4941 mishpat > of the nations <1471 gowy > whom <0834 >aher > they carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > from thence <8033 sham >.

:34 Unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they do <6213 <asah > after the former <7223 ri>shown > manners <4941 mishpat >:they fear <3373 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, neither <0369 >ayin > do <6213 <asah > they after their statutes <2708 chuqqah >, or after their ordinances <4941 mishpat >, or after <0310 >achar > the law <8451 towrah > and commandment <4687 mitsvah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > the children <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, whom <0834 >aher > he named <8034 shem > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;

:35 With whom the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth >, and charged <6680 tsavah > them, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, nor <3808 lo> > bow <7812 shachah > yourselves to them, nor <3808 lo> > serve <5647 <abad > them, nor <3808 lo> > sacrifice <2076 zabach > to them:

:36 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, who <0834 >aher > brought <5927 <alah > you up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with great <1419 gadowl > power <3581 koach > and a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< >, him shall ye fear <3372 yare> >, and him shall ye worship <7812 shachah >, and to him shall ye do sacrifice <2076 zabach >.

:37 And the statutes <2706 choq >, and the ordinances <4941 mishpat >, and the law <8451 towrah >, and the commandment <4687 mitsvah >, which <0834 >aher > he wrote <3789 kathab > for you, ye shall observe <8104 shamar > to do <6213 <asah > for evermore; and ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >.

:38 And the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I have made <3772 karath > with you ye shall not forget <7911 shakach >; neither <3808 lo> > shall ye fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >.

:39 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ye shall fear <3372 yare> >; and he shall deliver <5337 natsal > you out of the hand <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > your enemies <0341 >oyeb >.

:40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085 shama< >, but they did <6213 <asah > after their former <7223 ri>shown > manner <4941 mishpat >.

:41 So these <0428 >el-leh > nations <1471 gowy > feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and served <5647 <abad > their graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, both <1571 gam > their children <1121 ben >, and their children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben >:as did <6213 <asah > their fathers <1>, so do <6213 <asah > they unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

:1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son <1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak >.

:2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign <4427 malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. His mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > also [was] Abi <21>, the daughter <1323 bath > of Zachariah <2148 Z@karyah >.

:3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar > in thesight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, according to all <3605 kol > that David <1732 David > his father <1> did <6213 <asah >.

:4 He removed <5493 cuwr > the high <1116 bamah > places, and brake <7665 shabar > the images <4676 matstsebah >, and cut <3772 karath > down the groves <0842 >asherah >, and brake <3807 kathath > in pieces the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > serpent <5175 nachash > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > had made <6213 <asah >:for unto those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to it:and he called <7121 qara> > it Nehushtan <5180 N@chushtan >.

:5 He trusted <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; so that after <0310 >achar > him was none <3808 lo> > like <3644 k@mow > him among all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, nor [any] that were before <6440 paniym > him.

:6 For he clave <1692 dabaq > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] departed <5493 cuwr > not from following <0310 >achar > him, but kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >, which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > Moses <4872 Mosheh >.

:7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was with him; [and] he prospered <7919 sakal > whithersoever he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >:and he rebelled <4775 marad > against the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and served <5647 <abad > him not.

:8 He smote <5221 nakah > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >, [even] unto Gaza <5804 <Azzah >, and the borders <1366 g@buwl > thereof, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen <5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.

:9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, which <1958 hiy > [was] the seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son <1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Shalmaneser <8022 Shalman>ecer > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5957 <alam > up against <5921 <al > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it.

:10 And at the end <7097 qatseh > of three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > they took <3920 lakad > it:[even] in the sixth <8337 shesh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, that [is] the ninth <8672 tesha< > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > was taken <3920 lakad >.

:11 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > did carry <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and put <5148 nachah > them in Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr > [by] the river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and in the cities <5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday >:

:12 Because they obeyed <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, but transgressed <5674 <abar > his covenant <1285 b@riyth >, [and] all <3605 kol > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >, and would not hear <8085 shama< > [them], nor <3808 lo> > do <6213 <asah > [them].

:13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > did Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and took <8610 taphas > them.

:14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >, saying <0559 >amar >, I have offended <2398 chata> >; return <7725 shuwb > from me:that which <0834 >aher > thou puttest <5414 nathan > on <5921 <al > me will I bear <5375 nasa> >. And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > appointed <7760 suwm > unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091 zahab >.

:15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > gave <5414 nathan > [him] all <3605 kol > the silver <3701 keceph > that was found <4672 matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >.

:16 At that time <6256 <eth > did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > cut <7112 qatsats > off [the gold from] the doors <1817 deleth > of the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and [from] the pillars <0547 >om@nah > which <0834 >aher > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > had overlaid <6823 tsaphah >, and gave <5414 nathan > it to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.

:17. And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > sent <7971 shalach > Tartan <8661 Tartan > and Rabsaris <7249 Rab-Cariyc > and Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh > to king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with a great <3515 kabed > host <2426 cheyl > against Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And they went <5927 <alah > up and came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

:18 And when they had called <7121 qara> > to the king <4428 melek >, there came <3318 yatsa> > out to them Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, which <0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith >, and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > the son <1121 ben > of Asaph <0623 >Acaph > the recorder <2142 zakar >.

:19 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them, Speak <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, What <4100 mah > confidence <0986 bittachown > [is] this <2088 zeh > wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustest <0982 batach >?

:1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [it], that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and covered <3680 kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq >, and went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, which <0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith >, and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and the elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen >, covered <3680 kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq >, to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts >.

:5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >.

:6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to your master <0113 >adown >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > thou hast heard <8085 shama< >, with which <0834 >aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have blasphemed <1442 gadaph > me.

:8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah <3841 Libnah >:for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >.

:9 And when he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > of Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king <4428 melek > of Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he is come <3318 yatsa> > out to fight <3898 lacham > against thee:he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > again <7725 shuwb > unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

:11 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast heard <8085 shama< > what the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have done <6213 <asah > to all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets >, by destroying <2763 charam > them utterly:and shalt thou be delivered <5337 natsal >?

:12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy > delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1> have destroyed <0843 >Asheriy >; [as] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher > [were] in Thelasar <8515 T@la>ssar >?

:14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the letter <5612 cepher > of the hand <3027 yad > of the messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and read <7121 qara> > it:and Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and spread <6566 paras > it before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which dwellest <3427 yashab > [between] the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, thou art the God <0430 >elohiym >, [even] thou alone <0905 bad >, of all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets >; thou hast made <6213 <asah > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >.

:16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, bow <5186 natah > down <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >:open <6491 paqach >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and see <7200 ra>ah >:and hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb >, which <0834 >aher > hath sent <7971 shalach > him to reproach <2778 charaph. > the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym >.

:17 Of a truth <0551 >omnam >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have destroyed <2717 charab > the nations <1471 gowy > and their lands <0776 >erets >,

:26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > were of small <7116 qatser > power <3027 yad >, they were dismayed <2865 chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh >; they were [as] the grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh >, and [as] the green <3410 yarka> > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682 chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted <7711 sh@dephah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm > up.
