 : 1 .  Now king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > was old <2204 zaqen >  [ and ]  stricken <0935 bow> > in years <3117 yowm > ;  and they covered <3680 kacah > him with clothes <0899 beged > ,  but he gat no <3808 lo> > heat <3179 yacham > .

 : 2 Wherefore his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Let there be sought <1245 baqash > for my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > : and let her stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > ,  and let her cherish <5532 cakan > him ,  and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436 cheyq > ,  that my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > may get heat <2552 chamam > .

 : 3 So they sought <1245 baqash > for a fair <3303 yapheh > damsel <5291 na<arah > throughout all <3605 kol > the coasts <1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and found <4672 matsa> > Abishag <49> a Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > her to the king <4428 melek > .

 : 4 And the damsel <5291 na<arah >  [ was ]  very <3966 m@<od > fair <3303 yapheh > ,  and cherished <5532 cakan > the king <4428 melek > ,  and ministered <8334 sharath > to him : but the king <4428 melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not .

 : 5 .  Then Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > exalted <5375 nasa> > himself ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will be king <4427 malak > : and he prepared <6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash > ,  and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > to run <7323 ruwts > before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 6 And his father <1> had not displeased <6087 <atsab > him at any time <3117 yowm > in saying <0559 >amar > ,  Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou done <6213 <asah > so <3602 kakah > ?  and he also <1571 gam >  [ was a ]  very <3966 m@<od > goodly <2896 towb >  [ man ]  ;  and  [ his mother ]  bare him after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53> .

 : 7 And he conferred with Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > ,  and with Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > : and they following <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > helped <5826 <azar >  [ him ]  .

 : 8 But Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and Rei <7472 Re<iy > ,  and the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men which <0834 >aher >  [ belonged ]  to David <1732 David > ,  were not with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > .

 : 9 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > slew <2076 zabach > sheep <6629 tso>n > andoxen <1241 baqar > and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  by Enrogel <5883 <Eyn Rogel > ,  and called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach > the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,  and all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king s <4428 melek > servants <5650 <ebed > :

 : 10 But Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > ,  and the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men ,  and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach > ,  he called <7121 qara> > not .

 : 11 .  Wherefore Nathan <5416 Nathan > spake <0559 >amar > unto Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > doth reign <4427 malak > ,  and David <1732 David > our lord <0113 >adown > knoweth <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not ?

 : 12 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > ,  let me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  give thee counsel <6098 <etsah > ,  that thou mayest save <4422 malat > thine own life <5315 nephesh > ,  and the life <5315 nephesh > of thy son <1121 ben > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

 : 13 Go <3212 yalak > and get <0935 bow> > thee in unto king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Didst not thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > ,  swear <7650 shaba< > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> > ?  why <4069 madduwa< > then doth Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak > ?

 : 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  while thou yet <5750 <owd > talkest <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428 melek > ,  I also will come <0935 bow> > in after <0310 >achar > thee ,  and confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar > .

 : 15 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > went <0935 bow> > in unto the king <4428 melek > into the chamber <2315 cheder > : and the king <4428 melek > was very <3966 m@<od > old <2204 zaqen > ;  and Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > ministered <8334 sharath > unto the king <4428 melek > .

 : 16 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > ,  and did obeisance <7812 shachah > unto the king <4428 melek > .  And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > wouldest thou ?

 : 17 And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  My lord <0113 >adown > ,  thou swarest <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> > .

 : 18 And now <6258 <attah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak > ;  and now ,  my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  thou knowest <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not :

 : 19 And he hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n > in abundance <7230 rob > ,  and hath called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the sons <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > ,  and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > : but Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he not called <7121 qara> > .

 : 20 And thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > ,  the eyes <5869<ayin > of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ are ]  upon thee ,  that thou shouldest tell <5046 nagad > them who <4310 miy > shall sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him .

 : 21 Otherwise it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > shall sleep <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  that I and my son <1121 ben > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders <2400 chatta> > .

 : 22 And ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  while she yet <5750 <owd > talked <1696 dabar > with the king <4428 melek > ,  Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also came <0935 bow> > in .

 : 23 And they told <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > .  And when he was come <0935 bow> > in before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > ,  he bowed <7812 shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776 >erets > .

 : 24 And Nathan <5416 Nathan > said <0559 >amar > ,  My lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > ,  hast thou said <0559 >amar > ,  Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> > ?

 : 25 For he is gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > this day <3117 yowm > ,  and hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n > in abundance <7230 rob > ,  and hath called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,  and the captains <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > ,  and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > before <6440 paniym > him ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  God save <2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Adonijah .

 : 26 But me ,   [ even ]  me thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ,  and thy servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  hath he not called <7121 qara> > .

 : 27 Is this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > done by my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  and thou hast not shewed <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  who <4310 miy > should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him ?

 : 28 Then king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  Call <7121 qara> > me Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > .  And she came <0935 bow> > into the king s <4428 melek > presence <6440 paniym > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

 : 29 And the king <4428 melek > sware <7650 shaba< > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  that hath redeemed <6299 padah > my soul <5315 nephesh > out of all <3605 kol > distress <6869 tsarah > ,

 : 30 Even <3588 kiy > as I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> > in my stead <8478 tachath > ;  even <3588 kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 31 Then Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > with  [ her ]  face <0639 >aph > to the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and did reverence <7812 shachah > to the king <4428 melek > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let my lord <0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 32 .  And king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > said <0559 >amar > ,  Call <7121 qara> > me Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > .  And they came <0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

 : 33 The king <4428 melek > also said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Take <3947 laqach > with you the servants <5650 <ebed > of your lord <0113 >adown > ,  and cause Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > my son <1121 ben > to ride <7392 rakab > upon mine own mule <6506 pirdah > ,  and bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > to Gihon <1521 Giychown > :

 : 34 And let Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > anoint <4886 mashach > him there <8033 sham > king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and blow <8628 taqa< > ye with the trumpet <7782 showphar > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  God save <2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

 : 35 Then ye shall come <5927 <alah > up after <0310 >achar > him ,  that he may come <0935 bow> > and sit <3427 yashab > upon my throne <3678 kicce> > ;  for he shall be king <4427 malak > in my stead <8478 tachath > : and I have appointed <6680 tsavah > him to be ruler <5057 nagiyd > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 36 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > answered <6030 <anah > the king <4428 melek > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Amen <0543 >amen > : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > say <0559 >amar > so <3651 ken >  [ too ]  .

 : 37 As the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been <1961 hayah > with my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  even so <3651 ken > be he with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and make his throne <3678 kicce> > greater than the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > .

 : 38 So Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ,  and the Cherethites <3746 kariy > ,  and the Pelethites <6432 P@lethiy > ,  went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,  and caused Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > to ride <7392 rakab > upon king <4428 melek > David s <1732 David > mule <6506 pirdah > ,  and brought <3212 yalak > him to Gihon <1521 Giychown > .

 : 39 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > took <3947 laqach > an horn <7161 qeren > of oil <8081 shemen > out of the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > ,  and anointed <4886 mashach > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .  And they blew <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > ;  and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > ,  God save <2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

 : 40 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5927 <alah > up after <0310 >achar > him ,  and the people <5971 <am > piped <2490 chalal > with pipes <2485 chaliyl > ,  and rejoiced <8056 sameach > with great <1419 gadowl > joy <8057 simchah > ,  so that the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< > with the sound <6963 qowl > of them .

 : 45 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > have anointed <4886 mashach > him king <4428 melek > in Gihon <1521 Giychown > : and they are come <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > rejoicing <8056 sameach > ,  so that the city <7151 qiryah > rang <1949 huwm > again .  This <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the noise <6963 qowl > that ye have heard <8085 shama< > .

 : 46 And also <1571 gam > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sitteth <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > .

 : 49 And all <3605 kol > the guests <7121 qara> > that  [ were ]  with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > were afraid <2729 charad > ,  and rose <6965 quwm > up ,  and went <3212 yalak > every man <0376 >iysh > his way <1870 derek > .

 : 50 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > feared <3372 yare> > because <6440 paniym > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > ,  and caught <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > .

 : 51 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > feareth <3372 yare> > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > : for ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  he hath caught <0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Let king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > swear <7650 shaba< > unto me to day that he will not slay <4191 muwth > his servant <5650 <ebed > with the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 52 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 >im > he will shew himself a worthy <2428 chayil > man <1121 ben > ,  there shall not an hair <8185 sa<arah > of him fall <5307 naphal > to the earth <0776 >erets > : but if <0518 >im > wickedness <7451 ra< > shall be found <4672 matsa> > in him ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > .

 : 53 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > ,  and they brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > from the altar <4196 mizbeach > .  And he came <7126 qarab > and bowed <7812 shachah > himself to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > : and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > to thine house <1004 bayith > .

 : 1Kings 2

 : 1 .  Now the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > drew nigh <7126 qarab >that he should die <4191 muwth > ;  and he charged <6680 tsavah > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his son <1121 ben > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 I go <1980 halak > the way <1870 derek > of all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets > : be thou strong <2388 chazaq > therefore ,  and shew thyself a man <0376 >iysh > ;

 : 3 And keep <8104 shamar > the charge <4931 mishmereth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  to walk <3212 yalak > in his ways <1870 derek > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > his statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and his commandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  and his judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  and his testimonies <5715> ,  as it is written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,  that thou mayest prosper <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213 <asah > ,  and whithersoever thou turnest <6437 panah > thyself :

 : 4 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > may continue <6965 quwm > his word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 >im > thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their way <1870 derek > ,  to walk <3212 yalak > before <6440 paniym > me in truth <0571 >emeth > with all <3605 kol > their heart <3824 lebab > and with all <3605 kol > their soul <5315 nephesh > ,  there shall not fail <3772 karath > thee  ( said he )  a man <0376 >iysh > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 5 Moreover <1571 gam > thou knowest <3045 yada< > also <1571 gam > what Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > did <6213 <asah > to me ,   [ and ]  what <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > to the two <8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  unto Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369 Ner > ,  and unto Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of Jether <3500 Yether > ,  whom he slew <2026 harag > ,  and shed <7760 suwm > the blood <1818 dam > of war <4421 milchamah > in peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and put <5414 nathan > the blood <1818 dam > of war <4421 milchamah > upon his girdle <2290 chagowr > that  [ was ]  about his loins <4975 mothen > ,  and in his shoes <5275 na<al > that  [ were ]  on his feet <7272 regel > .

 : 6 Do <6213 <asah > therefore according to thy wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  and let not his hoar <7872 seybah > head go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > in peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 7 But shew <6213 <asah > kindness <2617 checed > unto the sons <1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite <1569 Gil<adiy > ,  and let them be of those that eat <0398 >akal > at thy table <7979 shulchan > : for so <3651 ken > they came <0935 bow> > to me when I fled <1272 barach > because <6440 paniym > of Absalom <53> thy brother <0251 >ach > .

 : 8 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ thou hast ]  with thee Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > the son <1121 ben > of Gera <1617 Gera> > ,  a Benjamite <1145 Ben - y@miyniy > of Bahurim <0980 Bachuriym > ,  which <1931 huw> > cursed <7043 qalal > me with a grievous <4834 marats > curse <7045 q@lalah > in the day <3117 yowm > when I went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim > : but he came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet <7125 qir>ah > me at Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will not put thee to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 9 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hold him not guiltless <5352 naqah > : forthou  [ art ]  a wise <2450 chakam > man <0376 >iysh > ,  and knowest <3045 yada< > what thou oughtest to do <6213 <asah > unto him ;  but his hoar <7872 seybah > head bring <3381 yarad > thou down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > with blood <1818 dam > .

 : 10 So David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > .

 : 11 And the days <3117 yowm > that David <1732 David > reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ were ]  forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > : seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Hebron <2275 Chebrown > ,  and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 12 .  Then sat <3427 yashab > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > his father <1> ;  and his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > was established <3559 kuwn > greatly <3966 m@<od > .

 : 13 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > came <0935 bow> > to Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Comest <0935 bow> > thou peaceably <7965 shalowm > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Peaceably <7965 shalowm > .

 : 14 He said <0559 >amar > moreover ,  I have somewhat to say <1697 dabar > unto thee .  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Say <1696 dabar > on .

 : 15 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou knowest <3045 yada< > that the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine ,  and  [ that ]  all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > set <7760 suwm > their faces <6440 paniym > on <5921 <al > me ,  that I should reign <4427 malak > : howbeit the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > is turned <5437 cabab > about <5437 cabab > ,  and is become <1961 hayah > my brother s <0251 >ach > : for it was his from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 16 And now <6258 <attah > I ask <7592 sha>al > one <0259 >echad > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of thee ,  deny <7725 shuwb > me not .  And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Say <1696 dabar > on .

 : 17 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Speak <0559 >amar > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the king <4428 melek > ,   ( for he will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay ,  )  that he give <5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > to wife <0802 >ishshah > .

 : 18 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > said <0559 >amar > ,  Well <2896 towb > ;  I will speak <1696 dabar > for thee unto the king <4428 melek > .

 : 19 Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > therefore went <0935 bow> > unto king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  to speak <1696 dabar > unto him for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > .  And the king <4428 melek > rose <6965 quwm > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > her ,  and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her ,  and sat <3427 yashab > down on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  and caused a seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the king s <4428 melek > mother <0517 >em > ;  and she sat <3427 yashab > on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand .

 : 20 Then she said <0559 >amar > ,  I desire <7592 sha>al > one <0259 >echad > small <6996 qatan > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of thee ;   [ I pray thee ]  ,  say <0559 >amar > me not nay <6440 paniym > .  And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Ask <7592 sha>al > on ,  my mother <0517 >em > : for I will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay .

 : 21 And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Let Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > be given <5414 nathan > to Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife <0802 >ishshah > .

 : 22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto his mother <0517 >em > ,  And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > ?  ask <7592 sha>al > for him the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > also ;  for he  [ is ]  mine elder <1419 gadowl > brother <0251 >ach > ;  even for him ,  and for Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > .

 : 23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  God <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah > so to me ,  and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > ,  if <3588 kiy > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > have not spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > against his own life <5315 nephesh > .

 : 24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,   [ as ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  which <0834 >aher > hath established <3559 kuwn > me ,  and set <3427 yashab > me on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > my father <1> ,  and who <0834 >aher > hath made <6213 <asah > me an house <1004 bayith > ,  as he promised <1696 dabar > ,  Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall be put to death <4191 muwth > this day <3117 yowm > .

 : 25 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > by the hand <3027 yad > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ;  and he fell <6293 paga< > upon him that he died <4191 muwth > .

 : 26 .  And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Get <3212 yalak > thee to Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > ,  unto thine own fields <7704 sadeh > ;  for thou  [ art ]  worthy <0376 >iysh > of death <4194 maveth > : but I will not at this <2088 zeh > time <3117 yowm > put thee to death <4191 muwth > ,  because <3588 kiy > thou barest <5375 nasa> > the ark <0727 >arown > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > before <6440 paniym > David <1732 David > my father <1> ,  and because <3588 kiy > thou hast been afflicted <6031 <anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834 >aher > my father <1> was afflicted <6031 <anah > .

 : 27 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thrust <1644 garash > out Abiathar <54> from being <1961 hayah > priest <3548 kohen > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  that he might fulfil <4390 male> > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh > .

 : 28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab <3097 Yow>ab > : for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > had turned <5186 natah > after <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > ,  though he turned <5186 natah > not after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53> .  And Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and caught <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > .

 : 29 And it was told <5046 nagad > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > was fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ he is ]  by the altar <4196 mizbeach > .  Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  fall <6293 paga< > upon him .

 : 30 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > came <0935 bow> > to the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Nay <3808 lo> > ;  but I will die <4191 muwth > here <6311 poh > .  And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > brought <7725 shuwb > the king <4428 melek > word <1697 dabar > again <7725 shuwb > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > said <1696 dabar > Joab <3097 Yow>ab > ,  and thus <3541 koh > he answered <6030 <anah > me .

 : 31 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Do <6213 <asah > as he hath said <1696 dabar > ,  and fall <6293 paga< > upon him ,  and bury <6912 qabar > him ;  that thou mayest take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the innocent <2600 chinnam > blood <1818 dam > ,  which <0834 >aher > Joab <3097 Yow>ab > shed <8210 shaphak > ,  from me ,  and from the house <1004 bayith > of my father <1> .

 : 32 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb > his blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > ,  who <4310 miy > fell <6293 paga< > upon two <8147 sh@nayim > men <0582 >enowsh > more righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and better <2896 towb > than he ,  and slew <2026 harag > them with the sword <2719 chereb > ,  my father <1> David <1732 David > not knowing <3045 yada< >  [ thereof ,  to wit ]  ,  Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369 Ner > ,  captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of Jether <3500 Yether > ,  captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 33 Their blood <1818 dam > shall therefore return <7725 shuwb > upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of Joab <3097 Yow>ab > ,  and upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of his seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769 <owlam > : but upon David <1732 David > ,  and upon his seed <2233 zera< > ,  and upon his house <1004 bayith > ,  and upon his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  shall there be peace <7965 shalowm > for ever <5769 <owlam > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 34 So Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > went <5927 <alah > up ,  and fell <6293 paga< > upon him ,  and slew <4191 muwth > him : and he was buried <6912 qabar > in his own house <1004 bayith > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 35 .  And the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > in his room <8478 tachath > over <5921 <al > the host <6635 tsaba> > : and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > did the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > in the room <8478 tachath > of Abiathar <54> .

 : 36 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Build <1129 banah > thee an house <1004 bayith > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > ,  and go <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> > thence <8033 sham > any whither <0575 >an > .

 : 37 For it shall be ,   [ that ]  on the day <3117 yowm > thou goest <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and passest <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the brook <5158 nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown > ,  thou shalt know <3045 yada< > for certain <3045 yada< > that thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > : thy blood <1818 dam > shall be upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 38 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  The saying <1697 dabar >  [ is ]  good <2896 towb > : as my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696 dabar > ,  so <3651 ken > will thy servant <5650 <ebed > do <6213 <asah > .  And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > dwelt <3427 yashab > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > .

 : 39 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7093 qets > of three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > ,  that two <8147 sh@nayim > of the servants <5650 <ebed > of Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ran <1272 barach > away unto Achish <0397 >Akiysh > son <1121 ben > of Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > king <4428 melek > of Gath <1661 Gath > .  And they told <5046 nagad > Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thy servants <5650 <ebed >  [ be ]  in Gath <1661 Gath > .

 : 40 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and saddled <2280 chabash > his ass <2543 chamowr > ,  and went <3212 yalak > to Gath <1661 Gath > to Achish <0397 >Akiysh > to seek <1245 baqash > his servants <5650 <ebed > : and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > went <3212 yalak > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > his servants <5650 <ebed > from Gath <1661 Gath > .

 : 41 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > that Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > had gone <1980 halak > from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Gath <1661 Gath > ,  and was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > .

 : 42 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Did I not make thee to swear <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and protested <5749 <uwd > unto thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Know <3045 yada< > for a certain <3045 yada< > ,  on the day <3117 yowm > thou goest <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and walkest <1980 halak > abroad any whither <0575 >an > ,  that thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > ?  and thou saidst <0559 >amar > unto me ,  The word <1697 dabar >  [ that ]  I have heard <8085 shama< >  [ is ]  good <2896 towb > .

 : 10 And the speech <1697 dabar > pleased the Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had asked <7592 sha>al > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > .

 : 13 And I have also <1571 gam > given <5414 nathan > thee that which <0834 >aher > thou hast not asked <7592 sha>al > ,  both <1571 gam > riches <6239 <osher > ,  and honour <3519 kabowd > : so that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings <4428 melek > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee all <3605 kol > thy days <3117 yowm > .

 : 14 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my ways <1870 derek > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  as thy father <1> David <1732 David > did walk <1980 halak > ,  then I will lengthen <0748 >arak > thy days <3117 yowm > .

 : 15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > awoke <3364 yaqats > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ it was ]  a dream <2472 chalowm > .  And he came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the ark <0727 >arown > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and offered <5927 <alah > up burnt <5930 <olah > offerings ,  and offered <6213 <asah > peace <8002 shelem > offerings ,  and made <6213 <asah > a feast <4960 mishteh > to all <3605 kol > his servants <5650 <ebed > .

 : 17 And the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > ,  and they brought <5265 naca< > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68> ,  costly <3368 yaqar > stones <68> ,   [ and ]  hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <68> ,  to lay the foundation <3245 yacad > of the house <1004 bayith > .

 : 14 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > ,  and finished <3615 kalah > it .

 : 15 .  And he built <1129 banah > the walls <7023 qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith > within <1004 bayith > with boards <6763 tsela< > of cedar <0730 >erez > ,  both the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  and the walls <7023 qiyr > of the cieling <5604 cippun > :  [ and ]  he covered <6823 tsaphah >  [ them ]  on the inside <1004 bayith > with wood <6086 <ets > ,  and covered <6823 tsaphah > the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > with planks <6763 tsela< > of fir <1265 b@rowsh > .

 : 24 And five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >  [ was ]  the one <0259 >echad > wing <3671 kanaph > of the cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the other <8145 sheniy > wing <3671 kanaph > of the cherub <3742 k@ruwb > : from the uttermost <7098 qatsah > part of the one wing <3671 kanaph > unto the uttermost <7098 qatsah > part of the other <3671 kanaph >  [ were ]  ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > .

 : 27 And he set <5414 nathan > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > within <8432 tavek > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > house <1004 bayith > : and they stretched <6566 paras > forth the wings <3671 kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  so that the wing <3671 kanaph > of the one <0259 >echad > touched <5060 naga< > the  [ one ]  wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and the wing <3671 kanaph > of the other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > touched <5060 naga< > the other <8145 sheniy > wall <7023 qiyr > ;  and their wings <3671 kanaph > touched <5060 naga< > one <3671 kanaph > another <3671 kanaph > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the house <1004 bayith > .

 : 28 And he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > with gold <2091 zahab > .

 : 29 And he carved <7049 qala< > all <3605 kol > the walls <7023 qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith > round <4524 mecab > about <4524 mecab > with carved <6603 pittuwach > figures <4734 miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts > ,  within <6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown > .

 : 30 And the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab > ,  within <6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown > .

 : 31 And for the entering <6607 pethach > of the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah > doors <1817 deleth >  [ of ]  olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > : the lintel <0352 >ayil >  [ and ]  side posts <4201 m@zuwzah >  [ were ]  a fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > part  [ of the wall ]  .

 : 32 The two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > also  [ were of ]  olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > ;  and he carved <7049 qala< > upon them carvings <4734 miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts > ,  and overlaid <6823 tsaphah >  [ them ]  with gold <2091 zahab > ,  and spread <7286 radad > gold <2091 zahab > upon the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and upon the palm <8561 timmor > trees .

 : 33 So <3651 ken > also made <6213 <asah > he for the door <6907 qubba<ath > of the temple <1964 heykal > posts <4201 m@zuwzah >  [ of ]  olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > ,  a fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > part  [ of the wall ]  .

 : 36 And he built <1129 banah > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court <2691 chatser > with three <7969 shalowsh > rows <2905 tuwr > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth > ,  and a row <2905 tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 karuthah > .

 : 37 In the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > was the foundation <3245 yacad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > laid ,  in the month <3391 yerach > Zif <2099 Ziv > :

 : 38 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the month <3391 yerach > Bul <0945 Buwl > ,  which <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh > ,  was the house <1004 bayith > finished <3615 kalah > throughout all <3605 kol > the parts <1697 dabar > thereof ,  and according <5921 <al > to all <3605 kol > the fashion <4941 mishpat > of it .  So was he seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > in building <1129 banah > it .

 : 1Kings 7

 : 1 .  But Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was building <1129 banah > his own house <1004 bayith > thirteen years <8141 shaneh > ,  and he finished <3615 kalah > all <3605 kol > his house <1004 bayith > .

 : 2 He built <1129 banah > also the house <1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ;  the length <0753 >orek > thereof  [ was ]  an hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits <0520 >ammah > ,  and the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof fifty <2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > ,  and the height <6967 qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > ,  upon four <0702 >arba< > rows <2905 tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > pillars <5982 <ammuwd > ,  with cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 karuthah > upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > .

 : 3 And  [ it was ]  covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez > above <4605 ma<al > upon the beams <6763 tsela< > ,  that  [ lay ]  on forty <0705 >arba<iym > five <2568 chamesh > pillars <5982 <ammuwd > ,  fifteen <6240 <asar >  [ in ]  a row <2905 tuwr > .

 : 18 And he made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > ,  and two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > round <5439 cabiyb > about upon the one <0259 >echad > network <7639 s@bakah > ,  to cover <3680 kacah > the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that  [ were ]  upon the top <7218 ro>sh > ,  with pomegranates <7416 rimmown > : and so <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth > .

 : 19 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that  [ were ]  upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >  [ were ]  of lily <7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh > in the porch <0197 >uwlam > ,  four <0702 >arba< > cubits <0520 >ammah > .

 : 21 And he set <6965 quwm > up the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > in the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the temple <1964 heykal > : and he set <6965 quwm > up the right <3225 yamiyn > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > ,  and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > thereof Jachin <3199 Yakiyn > : and he set <6965 quwm > up the left <8042 s@ma>liy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > ,  and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > thereof Boaz <1162 Bo<az > .

 : 22 And upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >  [ was ]  lily <7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh > : so was the work <4399 m@la>kah > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > finished <8552 tamam > .

 : 23 And he made <6213 <asah > a molten <3332 yatsaq > sea <3220 yam > ,  ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > from the one brim <8193 saphah > to the other :  [ it was ]  round <5696 <agol > all about ,  and his height <6967 qowmah >  [ was ]  five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > : and a line <6957 qav > of thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 cabab > it round <5439 cabiyb > about .

 : 24 And under <8478 tachath > the brim <8193 saphah > of it round <5439 cabiyb > about  [ there were ]  knops <6497 peqa< > compassing <5437 cabab > it ,  ten <6235 <eser > in a cubit <0520 >ammah > ,  compassing <5362 naqaph > the sea <3220 yam > round <5439 cabiyb > about : the knops <6497 peqa< >  [ were ]  cast <3333 y@tsukah > in two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > ,  when it was cast <3333 y@tsukah > .

 : 25 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar > ,  three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the west <3220 yam > ,  and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the south <5045 negeb > ,  and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the east <4217 mizrach > : and the sea <3220 yam >  [ was set ]  above <4605 ma<al > upon them ,  and all <3605 kol > their hinder <0268 >achowr > parts  [ were ]  inward <1004 bayith > .

 : 26 And it  [ was ]  an hand <2947 tephach > breadth <2947 tephach > thick <5672<abiy > ,  and the brim <8193 saphah > thereof was wrought <4639 ma<aseh > like the brim <8193 saphah > of a cup <3563 kowc > ,  with flowers <6525 perach > of lilies <7799 shuwshan > : it contained <3557 kuwl > two thousand <0505 >eleph > baths <1324 bath > .

 : 27 And he made <6213 <asah > ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350 m@kownah > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > ;  four <0702 >arba< > cubits <0520 >ammah >  [ was ]  the length <0753 >orek > of one <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > ,  and four <0702 >arba< > cubits <0520 >ammah > the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof ,  and three <7969 shalowsh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the height <6967 qowmah > of it .

 : 28 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the bases <4350 m@kownah >  [ was ]  on this<2088 zeh >  [ manner ]  : they had borders <4526 micgereth > ,  and the borders <4526 micgereth >  [ were ]  between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > :

 : 29 And on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 micgereth > that  [ were ]  between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab >  [ were ]  lions <0738 >ariy > ,  oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > : and upon the ledges <7948 shalab >  [ there was ]  a base <3653 ken > above <4605 ma<al > : and beneath <8478 tachath > the lions <0738 >ariy > and oxen <1241 baqar >  [ were ]  certain additions <3914 loyah > made <6213 <asah > of thin <4174 mowrad > work <4639 ma<aseh > .

 : 30 And every <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > had four <0702 >arba< >brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wheels <0212 >owphan > ,  and plates <5633 ceren > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > : and the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6471 pa<am > thereof had undersetters <3802 katheph > : under <8478 tachath > the laver <3595 kiyowr >  [ were ]  undersetters <3802 katheph > molten <3332 yatsaq > ,  at the side <5676 <eber > of every <0376 >iysh > addition <3914 loyah > .

 : 31 And the mouth <6310 peh > of it within <1004 bayith > the chapiter <3805 kothereth > and above <4605 ma<al >  [ was ]  a cubit <0520 >ammah > : but the mouth <6310 peh > thereof  [ was ]  round <5696 <agol >  [ after ]  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the base <3653 ken > ,  a cubit <0520 >ammah > and an half <2677 chetsiy > : and also <1571 gam > upon the mouth <6310 peh > of it  [ were ]  gravings with their borders <4526 micgereth > ,  foursquare <7251 raba< > ,  not round <5696 <agol > .

 : 8 And they drew <0748 >arak > out the staves <0905 bad > ,  that the ends <7218 ro>sh > of the staves <0905 bad > were seen <7200 ra>ah > out in the holy <6944 qodesh >  [ place ]  before the oracle <1687 d@biyr > ,  and they were not seen <7200 ra>ah > without <2351 chuwts > : and there <8033 sham > they are unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 17 And it was in the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David > my father<1> to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 18 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto David <1732 David >my father <1> ,  Whereas it was in thine heart <3824 lebab > to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto my name <8034 shem > ,  thou didst well <3190 yatab > that it was in thine heart <3824 lebab > .

 : 19 Nevertheless <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > ;  but thy son <1121 ben > that shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of thy loins <2504 chalats > ,  he shall build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > unto my name <8034 shem > .

 : 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath performed <6965 quwm > his word <1697 dabar > that he spake <1696 dabar > ,  and I am risen <6965 quwm > up in the room <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David > my father <1> ,  and sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > promised <1696 dabar > ,  and have built <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 21 And I have set <7760 suwm > there <8033 sham > a place <4725 maqowm > for the ark <0727 >arown > ,  wherein  [ is ]  the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he made <3772 karath > with our fathers <1> ,  when he brought <3318 yatsa> > them out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 22 .  And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the presence <5048 neged > of all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3027 yad > toward heaven <8064 shamayim > :

 : 1 .  But king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > loved <0157 >ahab > many <7227 rab > strange <5237 nokriy > women <0802 >ishshah > ,  together with the daughter <1323 bath > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  women of the Moabites <4125 Mow>abiy > ,  Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  Edomites <0130 >Edomiy > ,  Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,   [ and ]  Hittites <2850 Chittiy > ;

 : 2 Of the nations <1471 gowy >  [ concerning ]  which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Ye shall not go <0935 bow> > in to them ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall they come <0935 bow> > in unto you :  [ for ]  surely <0403 >aken > they will turn <5186 natah > away your heart <3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > their gods <0430 >elohiym > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto these <1992 hem > in love <0160 >ahabah > .

 : 3 And he had <1961 hayah > seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  princesses <8282 sarah > ,  and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > concubines <6370 piylegesh > : and his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart <3820 leb > .

 : 4 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <6256 <eth > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah > ,   [ that ]  his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart <3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > : and his heart <3824 lebab > was not perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > ,  as  [ was ]  the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 5 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth > the goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,  and after <0310 >achar > Milcom <4445 Malkam > the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > .

 : 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  as  [ did ]  David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an high <1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > ,  the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  in the hill <2022 har > that  [ is ]  before Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and for Molech <4432 Molek > ,  the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > .

 : 8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605 kol > his strange <5237 nokriy > wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  which burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076 zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 9 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was angry <0599 >anaph > with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  because <3588 kiy > his heart <3824 lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  which had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him twice <6471 pa<am > ,

 : 10 And had commanded <6680 tsavah > him concerning <5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ,  that he should not go <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > : but he kept <8104 shamar > not that which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > .

 : 11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  Forasmuch as this <2063 zo>th > is done of thee ,  and thou hast not kept <8104 shamar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  which <0834 >aher > I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee ,  I will surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from thee ,  and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650 <ebed > .

 : 12 Notwithstanding <0389 >ak > in thy days <3117 yowm > I will not do <6213 <asah > it for David <1732 David > thy father s <1> sake <4616 ma<an > :  [ but ]  I will rend <7167 qara< > it out of the hand <3027 yad > of thy son <1121 ben > .

 : 13 Howbeit <7535 raq > I will not rend <7167 qara< > away all <3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ;   [ but ]  will give <5414 nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > to thy son <1121 ben > for David <1732 David > my servant s <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  and for Jerusalem s <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > sake <4616 ma<an > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > .

 : 14 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <6965 quwm > up an adversary <7854 satan > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  Hadad <1908 Hadad > the Edomite <0130 >Edomiy > : he  [ was ]  of the king s <4428 melek > seed <2233 zera< > in Edom <0123 >Edom > .

 : 15 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when David <1732 David > was in Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was gone <5927 <alah > up to bury <6912 qabar > the slain <2491 chalal > ,  after he had smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in Edom <0123 >Edom > ;

 : 16  ( For six <8337 shesh > months <2320 chodesh > did Joab <3097 Yow>ab > remain <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > with all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  until <5704 <ad > he had cut <3772 karath > off every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in Edom <0123 >Edom > :  )

 : 17 That Hadad <1908 Hadad > fled <1272 barach > ,  he and certain <0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father s <1> servants <5650 <ebed > with him ,  to go <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;  Hadad <1908 Hadad >  [ being ]  yet a little <6996 qatan > child <5288 na<ar > .

 : 18 And they arose <6965 quwm > out of Midian <4080 Midyan > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to Paran <6290 Pa>ran > : and they took <3947 laqach > men <0582 >enowsh > with them out of Paran <6290 Pa>ran > ,  and they came <0935 bow> > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;  which gave <5414 nathan > him an house <1004 bayith > ,  and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899 lechem > ,  and gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets > .

 : 19 And Hadad <1908 Hadad > found <4672 matsa> > great <3966 m@<od > favour <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  so that he gave <5414 nathan > him to wife <0802 >ishshah > the sister <0269 >achowth > of his own wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > the queen <1377 g@biyrah > .

 : 20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath > his son <1121 ben > ,  whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned <1580 gamal > in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > house <1004 bayith > : and Genubath <1592 G@nubath > was in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > household <1004 bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > .

 : 21 And when Hadad <1908 Hadad > heard <8085 shama< > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > that David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  and that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was dead <4191 muwth > ,  Hadad <1908 Hadad > said <0559 >amar > to Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  Let me depart <7971 shalach > ,  that I may go <3212 yalak > to mine own country <0776 >erets > .

 : 22 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  But what <4100 mah > hast thou lacked <2638 chacer > with me ,  that ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou seekest <1245 baqash > to go <3212 yalak > to thine own country <0776 >erets > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  Nothing <3808 lo> > : howbeit let me go <7971 shalach > in any wise .

 : 23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up  [ another ]  adversary <7854 satan > ,  Rezon <7331 R@zown > the son <1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< > ,  which <0834 >aher > fled <1272 barach > from his lord <0113 >adown > Hadadezer <1909 Hadad<ezer > king <4428 melek > of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > :

 : 24 And he gathered <6908 qabats > men <0582 >enowsh > unto him ,  and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band <1416 g@duwd > ,  when David <1732 David > slew <2026 harag > them  [ of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > ]  : and they went <3212 yalak > to Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein ,  and reigned <4427 malak > in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > .

 : 25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< > that Hadad <1908 Hadad >  [ did ]  : and he abhorred <6973 quwts > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > .

 : 26 .  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  an Ephrathite <0673 >Ephrathiy > of Zereda ,  Solomon s <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 <ebed > ,  whose mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  Zeruah ,  a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  even he lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad > against the king <4428 melek > .

 : 27 And this <2088 zeh >  [ was ]  the cause <1697 dabar > that he lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad > against the king <4428 melek > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> > ,   [ and ]  repaired <5462 cagar > the breaches <6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 28 And the man <0376 >iysh > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >  [ was ]  a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man of valour <2428 chayil > : and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > seeing <7200 ra>ah > the young <5288 na<ar > man that he was industrious ,  he made him ruler <6485 paqad > over all <3605 kol > the charge <5447 cebel > of the house <1004 bayith > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > .

 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at that time <6256 <eth > when Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > went <3318 yatsa> > out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > found <4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek > ;  and he had clad <3680 kacah > himself <1931 huw> > with a new <2319 chadash > garment <8008 salmah > ;  and they two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ were ]  alone <0905 bad > in the field <7704 sadeh > :

 : 30 And Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > caught <8610 taphas > the new <2319 chadash > garment <8008 salmah > that  [ was ]  on <5921 <al > him ,  and rent <7167 qara< > it  [ in ]  twelve pieces <7168 qera< > :

 : 31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,  Take <3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< > : for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > out of the hand <3027 yad > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > ten <6235 <eser > tribes <7626 shebet > to thee :

 : 32  ( But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  and for Jerusalem s <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol > the tribes <7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :  )

 : 33 Because that they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and have worshipped <7812 shachah > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth > the goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,  Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > ,  and have not walked <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek > ,  to do <6213 <asah >  [ that which is ]  right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and  [ to keep ]  my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  as  [ did ]  David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 34 Howbeit I will not take <3947 laqach > the whole kingdom <4467 mamlakah > out of his hand <3027 yad > : but I will make him prince <5387 nasiy> > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of his life <2416 chay > for David my servant s <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I chose <0977 bachar > ,  because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > :

 : 35 But I will take <3947 laqach > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > out of his son s <1121 ben > hand <3027 yad > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > it unto thee ,   [ even ]  ten <6235 <eser > tribes <7626 shebet > .

 : 36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > ,  that David <1732 David > my servant <5650 <ebed > may have a light <5216 niyr > alway before <6440 paniym > me in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > me to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there <8033 sham > .

 : 37 And I will take <3947 laqach > thee ,  and thou shalt reign <4427 malak > according to all <3605 kol > that thy soul <5315 nephesh > desireth <8378 ta>avah > ,  and shalt be king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 38 And it shall be ,  if <0518 >im > thou wilt hearken <8085 shama< > unto all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee ,  and wilt walk <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek > ,  and do <6213 <asah >  [ that is ]  right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869 <ayin > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  as David <1732 David > my servant <5650 <ebed > did <6213 <asah > ;  that I will be with thee ,  and build <1129 banah > thee a sure <0539 >aman > house <1004 bayith > ,  as I built <1129 banah > for David <1732 David > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto thee .

 : 39 And I will for this <2063 zo>th > afflict <6031 <anah > the seed <2233 zera< > of David <1732 David > ,  but not for ever .

 : 40 Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sought <1245 baqash > therefore to kill <4191 muwth > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > .  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and fled <1272 barach > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  unto Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and was in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > until <5704 <ad > the death <4194 maveth > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

 : 41 .  And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah > ,  and his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,   [ are ]  they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ?

 : 42 And the time <3117 yowm > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > reigned <4427 malak > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > .

 : 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  who <1931 huw> > was yet <5750 <owd > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  heard <8085 shama< >  [ of it ]  ,   ( for he was fled <1272 barach > from the presence <6440 paniym > of king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > dwelt <3427 yashab > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;  )

 : 3 That they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him .  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935 bow> > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 4 Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol > grievous <7185 qashah > : now <6258 <attah > therefore make thou the grievous <7186 qasheh > service <5656 <abodah > of thy father <1> ,  and his heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > he put <5414 nathan > upon us ,  lighter <7043 qalal > ,  and we will serve <5647 <abad > thee .

 : 5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Depart <3212 yalak > yet <5750 <owd >  [ for ]  three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm > ,  then come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to me .  And the people <5971 <am > departed <3212 yalak > .

 : 6 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men ,  that stood <5975 <amad > before Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his father <1> while he yet lived <2416 chay > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  How <0349 >eyk > do ye advise <3289 ya<ats > that I may answer <1697 dabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ?

 : 7 And they spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 >im > thou wilt be a servant <5650 <ebed > unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ,  and wilt serve <5647 <abad > them ,  and answer <6030 <anah > them ,  and speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > words <1697 dabar > to them ,  then they will be thy servants <5650 <ebed > for ever .

 : 8 But he forsook <5800 <azab > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the old <2205zaqen > men ,  which <0834 >aher > they had given <3289 ya<ats > him ,  and consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 gadal > up with him ,   [ and ]  which <0834 >aher > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him :

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah > counsel <3289 ya<ats > give ye that we may answer <1697 dabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  who <0834 >aher > have spoken <1696 dabar > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Make the yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > thy father <1> did put <5414 nathan > upon us lighter <7043 qalal > ?

 : 10 And the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 gadal > up with him spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou speak <0559 >amar > unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > that spake <1696 dabar > unto thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,  but make thou  [ it ]  lighter <7043 qalal > unto us ;  thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  My little <6996 qatan >  [ finger ]  shall be thicker <5666 <abah > than my father s <1> loins <4975 mothen > .

 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > whereas my father <1> did lade <6006 <amac > you with a heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > ,  I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father <1> hath chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips <7752 showt > ,  but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions <6137 <aqrab > .

 : 12 So Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <0935 bow> > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > ,  as the king <4428 melek > had appointed <1696 dabar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Come <7725 shuwb > to me again <7725 shuwb > the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 13 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > the people <5971 <am > roughly <7186 qasheh > ,  and forsook <5800 <azab > the old <2205 zaqen > men s counsel <6098 <etsah > that they gave <3289 ya<ats > him ;

 : 14 And spake <1696 dabar > to them after the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the young <3206 yeled > men ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  My father <1> made your yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,  and I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father <1>  [ also ]  chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips <7752 showt > ,  but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions <6137 <aqrab > .

 : 15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am > ;  for the cause <5438 cibbah > was from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that he might perform <6965 quwm > his saying <1697 dabar > ,  which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > by Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > unto Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > .

 : 16 .  So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saw <7200 ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto them ,  the people <5971 <am > answered <1697 dabar > the king <4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > portion <2506 cheleq > have we in David <1732 David > ?  neither <3808 lo> >  [ have we ]  inheritance <5159 nachalah > in the son <1121 ben > of Jesse <3448 Yishay > : to your tents <0168 >ohel > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : now <6258 <attah > see <7200 ra>ah > to thine own house <1004 bayith > ,  David <1732 David > .  So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak > unto their tents <0168 >ohel > .

 : 17 But  [ as for ]  the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > which dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > them .

 : 18 Then king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > sent <7971 shalach > Adoram <0151 >Adoram > ,  who <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > the tribute <4522 mac > ;  and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > stoned <7275 ragam > him with stones <68> ,  that he died <4191 muwth > .  Therefore king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats > to get <5927 <alah > him up to his chariot <4818 merkabah > ,  to flee <5127 nuwc > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 19 So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478Yisra>el > heard <8085 shama< > that Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > ,  that they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him unto the congregation <5712 <edah > ,  and made him king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : there was none <3808 lo> > that followed <0310 >achar > the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ,  but the tribe <7626 shebet > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad > .

 : 21 And when Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > was come <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  he assembled <6950 qahal > all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  with the tribe <7626 shebet > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > thousand <0505 >eleph > chosen <0970 bachuwr > men ,  which were warriors ,  to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  to bring <7725 shuwb > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .

 : 22 But the word <1697 dabar > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <1961 hayah > unto Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 23 Speak <0559 >amar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and unto all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  and to the remnant <3499 yether > of the people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Ye shall not go <5927 <alah > up ,  nor <3808 lo> > fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > your brethren <0251 >ach > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004 bayith > ;  for this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > is from me .  They hearkened <8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and returned <7725 shuwb > to depart <3212 yalak > ,  according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 25 .  Then Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > built <1129 banah > Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > in mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > ,  and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein ;  and went <3318 yatsa> > out from thence <8033 sham > ,  and built <1129 banah > Penuel <6439 P@nuw>el > .

 : 26 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > in his heart <3820 leb > ,  Now <6258 <attah > shall the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > return <7725 shuwb > to the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > :

 : 27 If <0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > go <5927 <alah > up to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  then shall the heart <3820 leb > of this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > unto their lord <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ even ]  unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and they shall kill <2026 harag > me ,  and go again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 28 Whereupon the king <4428 melek > took counsel <3289 ya<ats > ,  and made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <egel >  [ of ]  gold <2091 zahab > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  It is too much <7227 rab > for you to go <5927 <alah > up to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : behold <2009 hinneh > thy gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  which <0834 >aher > brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 29 And he set <7760 suwm > the one <0259 >echad > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  and the other <0259 >echad > put <5414 nathan > he in Dan <1835 Dan > .

 : 30 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 hayah > a sin <2403 chatta>ah > : for the people <5971 <am > went <3212 yalak >  [ to worship ]  before <6440 paniym > the one <0259 >echad > ,   [ even ]  unto Dan <1835 Dan > .

 : 31 And he made <6213 <asah > an house <1004 bayith > of high <1116 bamah > places ,  and made <6213 <asah > priests <3548 kohen > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people <5971 <am > ,  which <0834 >aher > were not of the sons <1121 ben > of Levi <3878 Leviy > .

 : 32 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ordained <6213 <asah > a feast <2282 chag > in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh > ,  on the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the month <2320 chodesh > ,  like unto the feast <2282 chag > that  [ is ]  in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > .  So <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  sacrificing <2076 zabach > unto the calves <5695 <egel > that he had made <6213 <asah > : and he placed <5975 <amad > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher > he had made <6213 <asah > .

 : 33 So he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > he had made <6213 <asah > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh > ,   [ even ]  in the month <2320 chodesh > which <0834 >aher > he had devised <0908 bada> > of his own heart <3820 leb > ;  and ordained <6213 <asah > a feast <2282 chag > unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > .

 : 1Kings 13

 : 1 .  And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > out of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > stood <5975 <amad > by the altar <4196 mizbeach > to burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > .

 : 2 And he cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar <4196 mizbeach > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a child <1121 ben > shall be born <3205 yalad > unto the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ,  Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > by name <8034 shem > ;  and upon thee shall he offer <2076 zabach > the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places that burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon thee ,  and men s <0120 >adam > bones <6106 <etsem > shall be burnt <8313 saraph > upon thee .

 : 3 And he gave <5414 nathan > a sign <4159 mowpheth > the same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  the sign <4159 mowpheth > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > ;  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be rent <7167 qara< > ,  and the ashes <1880 deshen > that  [ are ]  upon it shall be poured <8210 shaphak > out .

 : 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when king <4428 melek > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > heard <8085 shama< > the saying <1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  which <0834 >aher > had cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar <4196 mizbeach > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  that he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad > from the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Lay hold <8610 taphas > on him .  And his hand <3027 yad > ,  which <0834 >aher > he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > against <5921 <al > him ,  dried <3001 yabesh > up ,  so that he could <3201 yakol > not pull <7725 shuwb > it in again <7725 shuwb > to him .

 : 5 The altar <4196 mizbeach > also was rent <7167 qara< > ,  and the ashes <1880 deshen > poured <8210 shaphak > out from the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  according to the sign <4159 mowpheth > which <0834 >aher > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had given <5414 nathan > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 6 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  Intreat <2470 chalah > now <4994 na> > the face <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and pray <6419 palal > for me ,  that my hand <3027 yad > may be restored <7725 shuwb > me again <7725 shuwb > .  And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > besought <2470 chalah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the king s <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad > was restored <7725 shuwb > him again <7725 shuwb > ,  and became <1961 hayah > as  [ it was ]  before <7223 ri>shown > .

 : 7 And the king <4428 melek > said <1696 dabar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  Come <0935 bow> > home <1004 bayith > with me ,  and refresh <5582 ca<ad > thyself ,  and I will give <5414 nathan > thee a reward <4991 mattath > .

 : 8 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  If <0518 >im > thou wilt give <5414 nathan > me half <2677 chetsiy > thine house <1004 bayith > ,  I will not go <0935 bow> > in with thee ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > :

 : 9 For so <3651 ken > was it charged <6680 tsavah > me by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > ,  nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > ,  nor <3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > by the same way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak > .

 : 10 So he went <3212 yalak > another <0312 >acher > way <1870 derek > ,  and returned <7725 shuwb > not by the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > .

 : 11 .  Now there dwelt <3427 yashab > an old <2205 zaqen > prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ;  and his sons <1121 ben > came <0935 bow> > and told <5608 caphar > him all <3605 kol > the works <4639 ma<aseh > that the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had done <6213 <asah > that day <3117 yowm > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  them they told <5608 caphar > also to their father <1> .

 : 12 And their father <1> said <1696 dabar > unto them ,  What way <1870 derek > went <1980 halak > he ?  For his sons <1121 ben > had seen <7200 ra>ah > what <0834 >aher > way <1870 derek > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > went <1980 halak > ,  which <0834 >aher > came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his sons <1121 ben > ,  Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr > .  So they saddled <2280 chabash > him the ass <2543 chamowr > : and he rode <7392 rakab > thereon <5921 <al > ,

 : 14 And went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and found <4672 matsa> > him sitting <3427 yashab > under <8478 tachath > an oak <0424 >elah > : and he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,   [ Art ]  thou the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > that camest <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ am ]  .

 : 15 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Come <3212 yalak > home <1004 bayith > with me ,  and eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > .

 : 34 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 hayah > sin <2403 chatta>ah > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,  even to cut <3582 kachad >  [ it ]  off ,  and to destroy <8045 shamad >  [ it ]  from off the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0127 >adamah > .

 : 5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the wife <0802 >ishshah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > cometh <0935 bow> > to ask <1875 darash > a thing <1697 dabar > of thee for her son <1121 ben > ;  for he  [ is ]  sick <2470 chalah > : thus <2090 zoh > and thus <2088 zeh > shalt thou say <1696 dabar > unto her : for it shall be ,  when she cometh <0935 bow> > in ,  that she shall feign <5234 nakar > herself  [ to be ]  another <5234 nakar >  [ woman ]  .

 : 3 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah >of his father <1> ,  which <0834 >aher > he had done <6213 <asah > before <6440 paniym > him : and his heart <3824 lebab > was not perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > ,  as the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 4 Nevertheless <3588 kiy > for David s <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an > did the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > give <5414 nathan > him a lamp <5216 niyr > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  to set <6965 quwm > up his son <1121 ben > after <0310 >achar > him ,  and to establish <5975 <amad > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > :

 : 8 And Abijam <38> slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ;  and they buried <6912 qabar > him in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > : and Asa <0609 >Aca> > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : 9 .  And in the twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > reigned <4427 malak > Asa <0609 >Aca> > over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 10 And forty <0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > ,  the daughter <1323 bath > of Abishalom <53> .

 : 11 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > did <6213 <asah >  [ that which was ]  right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  as  [ did ]  David <1732 David > his father <1> .

 : 12 And he took <5674 <abar > away the sodomites <6945 qadesh > out of the land <0776 >erets > ,  and removed <5493 cuwr > all <3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > that his fathers <1> had made <6213 <asah > .

 : 13 And also <1571 gam > Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > his mother <0517 >em > ,  even her he removed <5493 cuwr > from  [ being ]  queen <1377 g@biyrah > ,  because <0834 >aher > she had made <6213 <asah > an idol <4656 miphletseth > in a grove <0842 >asherah > ;  and Asa <0609 >Aca> > destroyed <3772 karath > her idol <4656 miphletseth > ,  and burnt <8313 saraph >  [ it ]  by the brook <5158 nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown > .

 : 14 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not removed <5493 cuwr > : nevertheless <7535 raq > Asa s <0609 >Aca> > heart <3824 lebab > was perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm > .

 : 15 And he brought <0935 bow> > in the things which his father <1> had dedicated <6944 qodesh > ,  and the things which himself had dedicated <6944 qodesh > ,  into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  silver <3701 keceph > ,  and gold <2091 zahab > ,  and vessels <3627 k@liy > .

 : 16 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > Asa <0609 >Aca> > and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm > .

 : 17 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and built <1129 banah > Ramah <7414 Ramah > ,  that he might not suffer <5414 nathan > any to go <3318 yatsa> > out or come <0935 bow> > in to Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 18 Then Asa <0609 >Aca> > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the silver <3701 keceph > and the gold <2091 zahab >  [ that were ]  left <3498 yathar > in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king s <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > ,  and delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > : and king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > sent <7971 shalach > them to Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Tabrimon <2886 Tabrimmown > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Hezion <2383 Chezyown > ,  king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > ,  that dwelt <3427 yashab > at Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 19  [ There is ]  a league <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > me and thee ,   [ and ]  between <0996 beyn > my father <1> and thy father <1> : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have sent <7971 shalach > unto thee a present <7810 shachad > of silver <3701 keceph > and gold <2091 zahab > ;  come <3212 yalak > and break <6565 parar > thy league <1285 b@riyth > with Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  that he may depart <5927 <alah > from me .

 : 20 So Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > ,  and sent <7971 shalach > the captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <2428 chayil > which <0834 >aher > he had against <5921 <al > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and smote <5221 nakah > Ijon <5859 <Iyown > ,  and Dan <1835 Dan > ,  and Abelbethmaachah <62> ,  and all <3605 kol > Cinneroth <3672 Kinn@rowth > ,  with all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy > .

 : 22 Then king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > made <6213 <asah > a proclamation <8085 shama< > throughout all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  none <0369 >ayin >  [ was ]  exempted <5355 naqiy > : and they took <5375 nasa> > away the stones <68> of Ramah <7414 Ramah > ,  and the timber <6086 <ets > thereof ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > had builded <1129 banah > ;  and king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > built <1129 banah > with them Geba <1387 Geba< > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  and Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > .

 : 24 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1> : and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : 25 .  And Nadab <5070 Nadab > the son <1121 ben > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > two <8147 sh@nayim > years <8141 shaneh > .

 : 26 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of his father <1> ,  and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > .

 : 27 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > ,  of the house <1004 bayith > of Issachar <3485 Yissaskar > ,  conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him ;  and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > smote <5221 nakah > him at Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ belonged ]  to the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > ;  for Nadab <5070 Nadab > and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > laid siege <6696 tsuwr > to Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > .

 : 28 Even in the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slay <4191 muwth > him ,  and reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : 12 Thus did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > destroy <8045 shamad > all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > ,  according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > by Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,

 : 13 For all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > ,  and the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Elah <0425 >Elah > his son <1121 ben > ,  by which <0834 >aher > they sinned <2398 chata> > ,  and by which <0834 >aher > they made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > ,  in provoking the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their vanities <1892 hebel > .

 : 14 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Elah <0425 >Elah > ,  and all <3605 kol > that 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 > ?

 : 15 .  In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > reign <4427 malak > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > .  And the people <5971 <am >  [ were ]  encamped <2583 chanah > against <5921 <al > Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ belonged ]  to the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > .

 : 16 And the people <5971 <am >  [ that were ]  encamped <2583 chanah > heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > ,  Zimri <2174 Zimriy > hath conspired <7194 qashar > ,  and hath also <1571 gam > slain <5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > : wherefore all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > made Omri <6018 <Omriy > ,  the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > ,  king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117 yowm > in the camp <4264 machaneh > .

 : 17 And Omri <6018 <Omriy > went <5927 <alah > up from Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown > ,  and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > with him ,  and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > .

 : 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Zimri <2174 Zimriy > saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 <iyr > was taken <3920 lakad > ,  that he went <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the palace <0759 >armown > of the king s <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > ,  and burnt <8313 saraph > the king s <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > over <5921 <al > him with fire <0784 >esh > ,  and died <4191 muwth > ,

 : 19 For his sins <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > he sinned <2398 chata> > in doing <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  in walking <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,  and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > ,  to make Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > .

 : 20 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Zimri <2174 Zimriy > ,  and his treason <7195 qesher > that he wrought <7194 qashar > ,   [ 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 > ?

 : 21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > divided <2505 chalaq > into two <2677 chetsiy > parts <2677 chetsiy > : half <2677 chetsiy > of the people <5971 <am > followed Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath > ,  to make him king <4427 malak > ;  and half <2677 chetsiy > followed <0310 >achar > Omri <6018 <Omriy > .

 : 22 But the people <5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Omri <6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people <5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath > : so Tibni <8402 Tibni > died <4191 muwth > ,  and Omri <6018 <Omriy > reigned <4427 malak > .

 : 23 In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  twelve years <8141 shaneh > : six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > .

 : 24 And he bought <7069 qanah > the hill <2022 har > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > for two talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > ,  and built <1129 banah > on <0853 >eth > the hill <2022 har > ,  and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > of the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > he built <1129 banah > ,  after <5921 <al > the name <8034 shem > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > ,  owner <0113 >adown > of the hill <2022 har > ,  Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 25 But Omri <6018 <Omriy > wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and did worse <7489 ra<a< > than all <3605 kol > that  [ were ]  before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > ,  to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their vanities <1892 hebel > .

 : 27 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > ,  and his might <1369 g@buwrah > that he shewed <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 > ?

 : 28 So Omri <6018 <Omriy > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : 29 .  And in the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and eighth <8083 sh@moneh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > twenty <6242 <esriym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > years <8141 shaneh > .

 : 30 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > above all <3605 kol > that  [ were ]  before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as if it had been a light <7043 qalal > thing for him to walk <3212 yalak > in the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  that he took <3947 laqach > to wife <0802 >ishshah > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > the daughter <1323 bath > of Ethbaal <0856 >Ethba<al > king <4428 melek > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,  and went <3212 yalak > and served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and worshipped <7812 shachah > him .

 : 32 And he reared <6965 quwm > up an altar <4196 mizbeach > for Baal <1168 Ba<al > in the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  which <0834 >aher > he had built <1129 banah > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 33 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah > ;  and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > did <6213 <asah > more <3254 yacaph > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac > than all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 34 In his days <3117 yowm > did Hiel <2419 Chiy>el > the Bethelite <1017 Beyth ha - >Eliy > build <1129 banah > Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > : he laid the foundation <3245 yacad > thereof in Abiram <48> his firstborn <1060 b@kowr > ,  and set <5324 natsab > up the gates <1817 deleth > thereof in his youngest <6810 tsa<iyr >  [ son ]  Segub <7687 S@guwb > ,  according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the son <1121 ben > of Nun <5126 Nuwn > .

 : 1Kings 17

 : 1 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy > ,   [ who was ]  of the inhabitants <8453 towshab > of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > ,  said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > liveth <2416 chay > ,  before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad > ,  there shall not be dew <2919 tal > nor rain <4306 matar > these <0428 >el - leh > years <8141 shaneh > ,  but according <6310 peh > to my word <1697 dabar > .

 : 2 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 3 Get <3212 yalak > thee hence <2088 zeh > ,  and turn <6437 panah > thee eastward <6924 qedem > ,  and hide <5641 cathar > thyself by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth > ,  that  [ is ]  before Jordan <3383 Yarden > .

 : 4 And it shall be ,   [ that ]  thou shalt drink <8354 shathah > of the brook <5158 nachal > ;  and I have commanded <6680 tsavah > the ravens <6158 <oreb > to feed <3557 kuwl > thee there <8033 sham > .

 : 5 So he went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he went <3212 yalak > and dwelt <3427 yashab > by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth > ,  that  [ is ]  before Jordan <3383 Yarden > .

 : 6 And the ravens <6158 <oreb > brought <0935 bow> > him bread <3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,  and bread <3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the evening <6153 <ereb > ;  and he drank of the brook <5158 nachal > .

 : 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a while <3117 yowm > ,  that the brook <5158 nachal > dried <3001 yabesh > up ,  because <3588 kiy > there had <1961 hayah > been <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem > in the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 8 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 9 Arise <6965 quwm > ,  get <3212 yalak > thee to Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ belongeth ]  to Zidon <6721 Tsiydown > ,  and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have commanded <6680 tsavah > a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > there <8033 sham > to sustain <3557 kuwl > thee .

 : 10 So he arose <6965 quwm > and went <3212 yalak > to Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > .  And when he came <0935 bow> > to the gate <6607 pethach > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah >  [ was ]  there <8033 sham > gathering <7197 qashash > of sticks <6086 <ets > : and he called <7121 qara> > to her ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Fetch <3947 laqach > me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  a little <4592 m@<at > water <4325 mayim > in a vessel <3627 k@liy > ,  that I may drink <8354 shathah > .

 : 11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach >  [ it ]  ,  he called <7121 qara> > to her ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Bring <3947 laqach > me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  a morsel <6595 path > of bread <3899 lechem > in thine hand <3027 yad > .

 : 12 And she said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay > ,  I have <3426 yesh > not a cake <4580 ma<owg > ,  but an handful of meal <7058 qemach > in a barrel <3537 kad > ,  and a little <4592 m@<at > oil <8081 shemen > in a cruse <6835 tsappachath > : and ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  gathering <7197 qashash > two <8147 sh@nayim > sticks <6086 <ets > ,  that I may go <0935 bow> > in and dress <6213 <asah > it for me and my son <1121 ben > ,  that we may eat <0398 >akal > it ,  and die <4191 muwth > .

 : 13 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not ;  go <0935 bow> >  [ and ]  do <6213 <asah > as thou hast said <0559 >amar > : but make <6213 <asah > me thereof <8033 sham > a little <6996 qatan > cake <5692 <uggah > first <7223 ri>shown > ,  and bring <3318 yatsa> >  [ it ]  unto me ,  and after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 <asah > for thee and for thy son <1121 ben > .

 : 14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  The barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > shall not waste <3615 kalah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall the cruse <6835 tsappachath > of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2637 chacer > ,  until <5704 <ad > the day <3117 yowm >  [ that ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sendeth <5414 nathan > rain <1653 geshem > upon the earth <0127 >adamah > .

 : 15 And she went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > : and she ,  and he ,  and her house <1004 bayith > ,  did <6213 <asah > eat <0398 >akal >  [ many ]  days <3117 yowm > .

 : 16  [ And ]  the barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > wasted <3615 kalah > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > did the cruse <6835 tsappachath > of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2638 chacer > ,  according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > .

 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  the son <1121 ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  the mistress <1172 ba<alah > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  fell sick <2470 chalah > ;  and his sickness <2483 choliy > was so <3966 m@<od > sore <2389 chazaq > ,  that there was no <3808 lo> > breath <5397 n@shamah > left <3498 yathar > in him .

 : 18 And she said <0559 >amar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  What <4100 mah > have I to do with thee ,  O thou man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ?  art thou come <0935 bow> > unto me to call <2142 zakar > my sin <5771 <avon > to remembrance <2142 zakar > ,  and to slay <4191 muwth > my son <1121 ben > ?

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Give <5414 nathan > me thy son <1121 ben > .  And he took <3947 laqach > him out of her bosom <2436 cheyq > ,  and carried <5927 <alah > him up into <0413 >el > a loft <5944 <aliyah > ,  where he abode <3427 yashab > ,  and laid <7901 shakab > him upon his own bed <4296 mittah > .

 : 20 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  hast thou also brought evil <7489 ra<a< > upon the widow <0490 >almanah > with whom <0834 >aher > I sojourn <1481 guwr > ,  by slaying <4191 muwth > her son <1121 ben > ?

 : 21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child <3206 yeled > three<7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > ,  and cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  let this <2088 zeh > child s <3206 yeled > soul <5315 nephesh > come <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > him again <7725 shuwb > .

 : 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > heard <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ;  and the soul <5315 nephesh > of the child <3206 yeled > came <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > him again <7725 shuwb > ,  and he revived <2421 chayah > .

 : 23 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > the child <3206 yeled > ,  and brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > out of the chamber <5944 <aliyah > into the house <1004 bayith > ,  and delivered <5414 nathan > him unto his mother <0517 >em > : and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > ,  See <7200 ra>ah > ,  thy son <1121 ben > liveth <2416 chay > .

 : 24 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  Now <6258 <attah > by this <2088 zeh > I know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ and ]  that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh >  [ is ]  truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass  [ after ]  many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > ,  that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  shew <7200 ra>ah > thyself unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ;  and I will send <5414 nathan > rain <4306 matar > upon the earth <0127 >adamah > .

 : 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > to shew <7200 ra>ah > himself unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > .  And  [ there was ]  a sore <2389 chazaq > famine <7458 ra<ab > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 3 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > called <7121 qara> > Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  the governor <5921 <al > of  [ his ]  house <1004 bayith > .   ( Now Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > greatly <3966 m@<od > :

 : 4 For it was  [ so ]  ,  when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > cut <3772 karath > off the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > took <3947 laqach > an hundred <3967 me>ah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and hid <2244> them by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > .  )

 : 5 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > ,  Go <3212 yalak > into the land <0776 >erets > ,  unto all <3605 kol > fountains <4599 ma<yan > of water <4325 mayim > ,  and unto all brooks <5158 nachal > : peradventure <0194 >uwlay > we may find <4672 matsa> > grass <2682 chatsiyr > to save <2421 chayah > the horses <5483 cuwc > and mules <6505 pered > alive <2421 chayah > ,  that we lose <3772 karath > not all <3605 kol > the beasts <0929 b@hemah > .

 : 6 So they divided <2505 chalaq > the land <0776 >erets > between them to pass <5674 <abar > throughout it : Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <1980 halak > one <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself ,  and Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <1980 halak > another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself .

 : 7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way <1870 derek > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > met <7125 qir>ah > him : and he knew <5234 nakar > him ,  and fell <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > his face <6440 paniym > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ Art ]  thou that my lord <0113 >adown > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ?

 : 8 And he answered <0559 >amar > him ,  I  [ am ]  : go <3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  .

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > have I sinned <2398 chata> > ,  that thou wouldest deliver <5414 nathan > thy servant <5650 <ebed > into the hand <3027 yad > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  to slay <4191 muwth > me ?

 : 10  [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay > ,  there is no <0518 >im > nation <1471 gowy > or kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ,  whither my lord <0113 >adown > hath not sent <7971 shalach > to seek <1245 baqash > thee : and when they said <0559 >amar > ,   [ He is ]  not  [ there ]  ;  he took an oath <7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > and nation <1471 gowy > ,  that they found <4672 matsa> > thee not .

 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  .

 : 12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ as soon as ]  I am gone <3212 yalak > from thee ,  that the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry <5375 nasa> > thee whither I know <3045 yada< > not ;  and  [ so ]  when I come <0935 bow> > and tell <5046 nagad > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and he cannot <3808 lo> > find <4672 matsa> > thee ,  he shall slay <2026 harag > me : but I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from my youth <5271 na<uwr > .

 : 13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 >adown > what I did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026 harag > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  how I hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > ?

 : 14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  : and he shall slay <2026 harag > me .

 : 15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 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 > ,  I will surely <3588 kiy > shew <7200 ra>ah > myself unto him to day <3117 yowm > .

 : 16 So Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and told <5046 nagad > him : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125 qir>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > .

 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  that Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,   [ Art ]  thou he that troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

 : 18 And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have not troubled <5916 <akar > Israel<3478 Yisra>el > ;  but thou ,  and thy father s <1> house <1004 bayith > ,  in that ye have forsaken <5800 <azab > the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al > .

 : 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore send <7971 shalach > ,   [ and ]  gather <6908 qabats > to me all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > ,  and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > ,  and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah > four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > ,  which eat <0398 >akal > at Jezebel s <0348 >Iyzebel > table <7979 shulchan > .

 : 20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all <3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > .

 : 21 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between <5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph > ?  if <0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ be ]  God <0430 >elohiym > ,  follow him : but if <0518 >im > Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,   [ then ]  follow him .  And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > .

 : 22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the people <5971 <am > ,  I ,   [ even ]  I only <0905 bad > ,  remain <3498 yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  but Baal s <1168 Ba<al > prophets <5030 nabiy> >  [ are ]  four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > .

 : 23 Let them therefore give <5414 nathan > us two <8147 sh@nayim > bullocks <6499 par > ;  and let them choose <0977 bachar > one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for themselves <1992 hem > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > it in pieces ,  and lay <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh >  [ under ]  : and I will dress <6213 <asah > the other <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > ,  and lay <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh >  [ under ]  :

 : 24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and I will call <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and the God <0430 >elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh > ,  let him be God <0430 >elohiym > .  And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  It is well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar > .

 : 25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  Choose <0977 bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for yourselves ,  and dress <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  first <7223 ri>shown > ;  for ye  [ are ]  many <7227 rab > ;  and call <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  but put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh >  [ under ]  .

 : 26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which was given <5414 nathan > them ,  and they dressed <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  ,  and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704 <ad > noon <6672 tsohar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  O Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  hear <6030 <anah > us .  But  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > any that answered <6030 <anah > .  And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > was made <6213 <asah > .

 : 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar > ,  that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Cry <7121 qara> > aloud : for he  [ is ]  a god <0430 >elohiym > ;  either <3588 kiy > he is talking <7879 siyach > ,  or he is pursuing <7873 siyg > ,  or he is in a journey <1870 derek > ,   [ or ]  peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he sleepeth <3463 yashen > ,  and must be awaked <3364 yaqats > .

 : 28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud ,  and cut <1413 gadad > themselves after their manner <4941 mishpat > with knives <2719 chereb > and lancets <7420 romach > ,  till <5704 <ad > the blood <1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them .

 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when midday <6672 tsohar > was past <5674 <abar > ,  and they prophesied <5012 naba> > until <5704 <ad > the  [ time ]  of the offering <5927 <alah > of the  [ evening ]  sacrifice <4503 minchah > ,  that  [ there was ]  neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > any to answer <6030 <anah > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > any that regarded <7182 qesheb > .

 : 30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  Come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto me .  And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto him .  And he repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ that was ]  broken <2040 harac > down .

 : 31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve stones <68> ,  according to the number <4557 micpar > of the tribes <7626 shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  unto whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be thy name <8034 shem > :

 : 32 And with the stones <68> he built <1129 banah > an altar <4196 mizbeach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and he made <6213 <asah > a trench <8585 t@<alah > about <5439 cabiyb > the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  as great <1004 bayith > as would contain <1004 bayith > two measures <5429 c@>ah > of seed <2233 zera< > .

 : 33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order <6186 <arak > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par > in pieces ,  and laid <7760 suwm >  [ him ]  on <5921 <al > the wood <6086 <ets > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Fill <4390 male> > four <0702 >arba< > barrels <3537 kad > with water <4325 mayim > ,  and pour <3332 yatsaq >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > the burnt <5930 <olah > sacrifice ,  and on <5921 <al > the wood <6086 <ets > .

 : 34 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the second <8138 shanah > time .  And they did  [ it ]  the second <8138 shanah > time .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the third <8027 shalash > time .  And they did  [ it ]  the third <8027 shalash > time .

 : 35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439 cabiyb > about the altar <4196 mizbeach > ;  and he filled <4390 male> > the trench <8565 tan > also <1571 gam > with water <4325 mayim > .

 : 36 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at  [ the time of ]  the offering <5927 <alah > of the  [ evening ]  sacrifice <4503 minchah > ,  that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Abraham <85> ,  Isaac <3327 Yitschaq > ,  and of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  let it be known <3045 yada< > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > that thou  [ art ]  God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and  [ that ]  I  [ am ]  thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and  [ that ]  I have done <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > at thy word <1697 dabar > .

 : 37 Hear <6030 <anah > me ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  hear <6030 <anah > me ,  that this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > may know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and  [ that ]  thou hast turned <5437 cabab > their heart <3820 leb > back <0322 >achoranniyth > again <0322 >achoranniyth > .

 : 38 Then the fire <0784 >esh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > fell <5307 naphal > ,  and consumed <0398 >akal > the burnt <5930 <olah > sacrifice ,  and the wood <6086 <ets > ,  and the stones <68> ,  and the dust <6083 <aphar > ,  and licked <3897 lachak > up the water <4325 mayim > that  [ was ]  in the trench <8565 tan > .

 : 39 And when all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  they fell <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > their faces <6440 paniym > : and they said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he  [ is ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > ;  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he  [ is ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 40 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Take <8610 taphas > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ;  let not one <0376 >iysh > of them escape <4422 malat > .  And they took <8610 taphas > them : and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > brought <3381 yarad > them down <3281 Ya<lam > to the brook <5158 nachal > Kishon <7028 Qiyshown > ,  and slew <7819 shachat > them there <8033 sham > .

 : 41 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  Get <5927 <alah > thee up ,  eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > ;  for  [ there is ]  a sound <6963 qowl > of abundance <1995 hamown > of rain <1653 geshem > .

 : 42 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <5927 <alah > up to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah > .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <5927 <alah > up to the top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > ;  and he cast <1457 gahar > himself down <1457 gahar > upon the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > his face <6440 paniym > between <0996 beyn > his knees <1290 berek > ,

 : 43 And said <0559 >amar > to his servant <5288 na<ar > ,  Go <5927 <alah > up now <4994 na> > ,  look <5027 nabat > toward <1870 derek > the sea <3220 yam > .  And he went <5927 <alah > up ,  and looked <5027 nabat > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ There is ]  nothing .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am > .

 : 44 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > time ,  that he said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there ariseth <5927 <alah > a little <6996 qatan > cloud <5645 <ab > out of the sea <3220 yam > ,  like a man s <0376 >iysh > hand <3709 kaph > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <5927 <alah > up ,  say <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  Prepare <0631 >acar >  [ thy chariot ]  ,  and get <3381 yarad > thee down <3381 yarad > ,  that the rain <1653 geshem > stop <6113 <atsar > thee not .

 : 45 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the mean while <3541 koh > ,  that the heaven <8064 shamayim > was black <6937 qadar > with clouds <5645 <ab > and wind <7307 ruwach > ,  and there was a great <1419 gadowl > rain <1653 geshem > .  And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > rode <7392 rakab > ,  and went <3212 yalak > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .

 : 46 And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was on <0413 >el > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ;  and he girded <8151 shanac > up his loins <4975 mothen > ,  and ran <7323 ruwts > before <6440 paniym > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the entrance <0935 bow> > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .

 : 1Kings 19

 : 1 .  And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > told <5046 nagad > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > all <3605 kol > that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > had done <6213 <asah > ,  and withal how <0834 >aher > he had slain <2026 harag > all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 2 Then Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > sent <7971 shalach > a messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  So <3541 koh > let the gods <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah >  [ to me ]  ,  and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > ,  if I make <7760 suwm > not thy life <5315 nephesh > as the life <5315 nephesh > of one <0259 >echad > of them by to morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth > .

 : 3 And when he saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ that ]  ,  he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ belongeth ]  to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and left <3240 yanach > his servant <5288 na<ar > there <8033 sham > .

 : 4 But he himself <1931 huw> > went <1980 halak > a day s <3117 yowm > journey <1870 derek > into the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  and came <0935 bow> > and sat <3427 yashab > down under <8478 tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree : and he requested <7592 sha>al > for himself <5315 nephesh > that he might die <4191 muwth > ;  and said <0559 >amar > ,  It is enough <7227 rab > ;  now <6258 <attah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  take <3947 laqach > away my life <5315 nephesh > ;  for I  [ am ]  not better <2896 towb > than my fathers <1> .

 : 8 And he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and did eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > ,  and went <3212 yalak > in the strength <3581 koach > of that meat <0396 >akiylah > forty <0705 >arba<iym > days <3117 yowm > and forty <0705 >arba<iym > nights <3915 layil > unto Horeb <2722 Choreb > the mount <2022 har > of God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 11 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and stand <5975 <amad > upon the mount <2022 har > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > passed <5674 <abar > by ,  and a great <1419 gadowl > and strong <2389 chazaq > wind <7307 ruwach > rent <6561 paraq > the mountains <2022 har > ,  and brake <7665 shabar > in pieces the rocks <5553 cela< > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;   [ but ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ was ]  not in the wind <7307 ruwach > : and after <0310 >achar > the wind <7307 ruwach > an earthquake <7494 ra<ash > ;   [ but ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ was ]  not in the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > :

 : 12 And after <0310 >achar > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > a fire <0784 >esh > ;   [ but ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ was ]  not in the fire <0784 >esh > : and after <0310 >achar > the fire <0784 >esh > a still <1827 d@mamah > small <1851 daq > voice <6963 qowl > .

 : 13 And it was  [ so ]  ,  when Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > heard <8085 shama< >  [ it ]  ,  that he wrapped <3874 luwt > his face <6440 paniym > in his mantle <0155 >addereth > ,  and went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and stood <5975 <amad > in the entering <6607 pethach > in of the cave <4631 m@<arah > .  And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ there came <0935 bow> > ]  a voice <6963 qowl > unto him ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ?

 : 14 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I have been very jealous <7065 qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > : because <3588 kiy > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have forsaken <5800 <azab > thy covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  thrown <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > thine altars <4196 mizbeach > ,  and slain <2026 harag > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and I ,   [ even ]  I only <0905 bad > ,  am left <3498 yathar > ;  and they seek <1245 baqash > my life <5315 nephesh > ,  to take <3947 laqach > it away .

 : 15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  return <7725 shuwb > on thy way <1870 derek > to the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > : and when thou comest <0935 bow> > ,  anoint <4886 mashach > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el >  [ to be ]  king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > :

 : 16 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy > shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach >  [ to be ]  king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat <8202 Shaphat > of Abelmeholah <65> shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach >  [ to be ]  prophet <5030 nabiy> > in thy room <8478 tachath > .

 : 17 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ that ]  him that escapeth <4422 malat > the sword <2719 chereb > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > shall Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slay <4191 muwth > : and him that escapeth <4422 malat > from the sword <2719 chereb > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > slay <4191 muwth > .

 : 18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar >  [ me ]  seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  all <3605 kol > the knees <1290 berek > which <0834 >aher > have not bowed <3766 kara< > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and every <3605 kol > mouth <6310 peh > which <0834 >aher > hath not kissed <5401 nashaq > him .

 : 20 And he left <5800 <azab > the oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and ran <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  kiss <5401 nashaq > my father <1> and my mother <0517 >em > ,  and  [ then ]  I will follow thee .  And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > back <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > : for what <4100 mah > have I done <6213 <asah > to thee ?

 : 21 And he returned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from him ,  and took <3947 laqach > a yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and slew <2076 zabach > them ,  and boiled <1310 bashal > their flesh <1320 basar > with the instruments <3627 k@liy > of the oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and gave <5414 nathan > unto the people <5971 <am > ,  and they did eat <0398 >akal > .  Then he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  and ministered <8334 sharath > unto him .

 : 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > into the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,

 : 8 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Hearken <8085 shama< > not  [ unto him ]  ,  nor <3808 lo> > consent <14> .

 : 9 Wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the messengers <4397 mal>ak > of Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,  Tell <0559 >amar > my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  All <3605 kol > that thou didst send <7971 shalach > for to thy servant <5650 <ebed > at the first <7223 ri>shown > I will do <6213 <asah > : but this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > I may <3201 yakol > not do <6213 <asah > .  And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > departed <3212 yalak > ,  and brought <7725 shuwb > him word <1697 dabar > again <7725 shuwb > .

 : 11 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  Tell <1696 dabar >  [ him ]  ,  Let not him that girdeth <2296 chagar > on  [ his harness ]  boast <1984 halal > himself as he that putteth <6605 pathach > it off .

 : 14 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > ,  By whom <4310 miy > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ Even ]  by the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > .  Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  Who <4310 miy > shall order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  Thou .

 : 15 Then he numbered <6485 paqad > the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me>ah > and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > two <8147 sh@nayim > : and after <0310 >achar > them he numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,   [ even ]  all <3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ being ]  seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > .

 : 16 And they went <3318 yatsa> > out at noon <6672 tsohar > .  But Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad >  [ was ]  drinking <8354 shathah > himself drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the pavilions <5521 cukkah > ,  he and the kings <4428 melek > ,  the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > that helped <5826 <azar > him .

 : 17 And the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > went <3318 yatsa> > out first <7223 ri>shown > ;  and Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > sent <7971 shalach > out ,  and they told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  There are men <0582 >enowsh > come <3318 yatsa> > out of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Their gods <0430 >elohiym >  [ are ]  gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022 har > ;  therefore they were stronger <2388 chazaq > than we ;  but let us fight <3898 lacham > against them in the plain <4334 miyshowr > ,  and surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they .

 : 24 And do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ,  Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away ,  every <0376 >iysh > man <0376 >iysh > out of his place <4725 maqowm > ,  and put <7760 suwm > captains <6346 pechah > in their rooms <8478 tachath > :

 : 25 And number <4487 manah > thee an army <2428 chayil > ,  like the army <2428 chayil > that thou hast lost <5307 naphal > ,  horse <5483 cuwc > for horse <5483 cuwc > ,  and chariot <7393 rekeb > for chariot <7393 rekeb > : and we will fight <3898 lacham > against them in the plain <4334 miyshowr > ,   [ and ]  surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they .  And he hearkened <8085 shama< > unto their voice <6963 qowl > ,  and did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .

 : 26 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the return <8666 t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh > ,  that Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > numbered <6485 paqad > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  and went <5927 <alah > up to Aphek <0663 >Apheq > ,  to fight <4421 milchamah > against <5973 <im > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 27 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were numbered <6485 paqad > ,  and were all present <3557 kuwl > ,  and went <3212 yalak > against <7125 qir>ah > them : and the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pitched <2583 chanah > before <5048 neged > them like two <8147 sh@nayim > little <2835 chasiph > flocks <2835 chasiph > of kids <5795 <ez > ;  but the Syrians <0758 >Aram > filled <4390 male> > the country <0776 >erets > .

 : 28 And there came <5066 nagash > a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and spake <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Because the Syrians <0758 >Aram > have said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  God <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022 har > ,  but he  [ is ]  not God <0430 >elohiym > of the valleys <6010 <emeq > ,  therefore will I deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > great <1419 gadowl > multitude into thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over <5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other <0428 >el - leh > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > .  And  [ so ]  it was ,  that in the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > day <3117 yowm > the battle <4421 milchamah > was joined <7126 qarab > : and the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > slew <5221 nakah > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram > an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > footmen <7273 ragliy > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 30 But the rest <3498 yathar > fled <5127 nuwc > to Aphek <0663 >Apheq > ,  into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ;  and  [ there ]  a wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon twenty <6242 <esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > of the men <0376 >iysh >  [ that were ]  left <3498 yathar > .  And Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > fled <5127 nuwc > ,  and came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ,  into <0413 >el > an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > .

 : 31 .  And his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  we have heard <8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ are ]  merciful <2617 checed > kings <4428 melek > : let us ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  put <7760 suwm > sackcloth <8242 saq > on our loins <4975 mothen > ,  and ropes <2256 chebel > upon our heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  and go <3318 yatsa> > out to the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will save <2421 chayah > thy life <5315 nephesh > .

 : 32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on their loins <4975 mothen > ,  and  [ put ]  ropes <2256 chebel > on their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > saith <0559 >amar > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  let me live <2421 chayah > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,   [ Is ]  he yet <3588 kiy > alive <2416 chay > ?  he  [ is ]  my brother <0251 >ach > .

 : 33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently <5172 nachash > observe <5172 nachash > whether  [ any thing would come ]  from him ,  and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat >  [ it ]  : and they said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy brother <0251 >ach > Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > .  Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <0935 bow> > ye ,  bring <3947 laqach > him .  Then Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to him ;  and he caused him to come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al > the chariot <4818 merkabah > .

 : 34 And  [ Benhadad ]  said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  The cities <5892 <iyr > ,  which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took <3947 laqach > from thy father <1> ,  I will restore <7725 shuwb > ;  and thou shalt make <7760 suwm > streets <2351 chuwts > for thee in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  as my father <1> made <7760 suwm > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .  Then  [ said Ahab ]  ,  I will send <7971 shalach > thee away with this covenant <1285 b@riyth > .  So he made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with him ,  and sent <7971 shalach > him away .

 : 35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar > unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > refused <3985 ma>en > to smite <5221 nakah > him .

 : 36 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto him ,  Because thou hast not obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  as soon as thou art departed <1980 halak > from me ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > shall slay <5221 nakah > thee .  And as soon as he was departed <3212 yalak > from him ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > found <4672 matsa> > him ,  and slew <5221 nakah > him .

 : 37 Then he found <4672 matsa> > another <0312 >acher > man <0376 >iysh > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > smote <5221 nakah > him ,  so that in smiting <5221 nakah > he wounded <6481 patsa< >  [ him ]  .

 : 38 So the prophet <5030 nabiy> > departed <3212 yalak > ,  and waited <5975 <amad > for the king <4428 melek > by the way <1870 derek > ,  and disguised <2664 chaphas > himself with ashes <0665 >epher > upon his face <5869 <ayin > .

 : 39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 <abar > by ,  he cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek > : and he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318 yatsa> > out into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421 milchamah > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a man <0376 >iysh > turned <5493 cuwr > aside ,  and brought <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > unto me ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Keep <8104 shamar > this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > : if <0518 >im > by any means he be missing <6485 paqad > ,  then shall thy life <5315 nephesh > be for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  or <0176 >ow > else thou shalt pay <8254 shaqal > a talent <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > .

 : 40 And as thy servant <5650 <ebed > was busy <6213 <asah > here <2008 hennah > and there <2008 hennah > ,  he was gone <0369 >ayin > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  So <3651 ken >  [ shall ]  thy judgment <4941 mishpat >  [ be ]  ;  thyself hast decided <2782 charats >  [ it ]  .

 : 41 And he hasted <4116 mahar > ,  and took the ashes <0665 >epher > away <5493 cuwr > from his face <5869 <ayin > ;  and the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned <5234 nakar > him that he  [ was ]  of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > .

 : 42 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast let go <7971 shalach > out of  [ thy ]  hand <3027 yad > a man <0376 >iysh > whom I appointed <2764 cherem > to utter destruction <2764 cherem > ,  therefore thy life <5315 nephesh > shall go <1961 hayah > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  and thy people <5971 <am > for his people <5971 <am > .

 : 43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went <3212 yalak > to his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198 za<eph > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 1Kings 21

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had <1961 hayah > a vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ,  hard <0681 >etsel > by the palace <1964 heykal > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Give <5414 nathan > me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  that I may have <1961 hayah > it for a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq > ,  because <3588 kiy > it  [ is ]  near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004 bayith > : and I will give <5414 nathan > thee for it a better <2896 towb > vineyard <3754 kerem > than it ;   [ or <0176 >ow > ]  ,  if <0518 >im > it seem good <2896 towb > to thee ,  I will give <5414 nathan > thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in money <3701 keceph > .

 : 3 And Naboth <5022 Nabowth > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > forbid <2486 chaliylah > it me ,  that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1> unto thee .

 : 4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198 za<eph > because <5921 <al > of the word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him : for he had said <0559 >amar > ,  I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1> .  And he laid <7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah > ,  and turned <5437 cabab > away his face <6440 paniym > ,  and would eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > .

 : 5 .  But Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > came <0935 bow> > to him ,  and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  Why <4100 mah > is thy spirit <7307 ruwach > so sad <5620 car > ,  that thou eatest <0398 >akal > no <0369 >ayin > bread <3899 lechem > ?

 : 6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her ,  Because <3588 kiy > I spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Give <5414 nathan > me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > for money <3701 keceph > ;  or else ,  if <0518 >im > it please <2655 chaphets > thee ,  I will give <5414 nathan > thee  [ another ]  vineyard <3754 kerem > for it : and he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I will not give <5414 nathan > thee my vineyard <3754 kerem > .

 : 7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Dost thou now <6258 <attah > govern <6213 <asah > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?  arise <6965 quwm > ,   [ and ]  eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > ,  and let thine heart <3820 leb > be merry <3190 yatab > : I will give <5414 nathan > thee the vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > .

 : 8 So she wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher > in Ahab s <0256 >Ach>ab > name <8034 shem > ,  and sealed <2856 chatham >  [ them ]  with his seal <2368 chowtham > ,  and sent <7971 shalach > the letters <5612 cepher > unto the elders <2205 zaqen > and to the nobles <2715 chor > that  [ were ]  in his city <5892 <iyr > ,  dwelling <3427 yashab > with Naboth <5022 Nabowth > .

 : 9 And she wrote <3789 kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Proclaim <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm > ,  and set <3427 yashab > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > on high <7218 ro>sh > among the people <5971 <am > :

 : 11 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of his city <5892 <iyr > ,   [ even ]  the elders <2205 zaqen > and the nobles <2715 chor > who <0834 >aher > were the inhabitants <3427 yashab > in his city <5892 <iyr > ,  did <6213 <asah > as Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > had sent <7971 shalach > unto them ,   [ and ]  as it  [ was ]  written <3789 kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > she had sent <7971 shalach > unto them .

 : 12 They proclaimed <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm > ,  and set <3427 yashab > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > on high <7218 ro>sh > among the people <5971 <am > .

 : 14 Then they sent <7971 shalach > to Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is stoned <5619 caqal > ,  and is dead <4191 muwth > .

 : 15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth > was stoned <5619 caqal > ,  and was dead <4191 muwth > ,  that Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash > of the vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > ,  which <0834 >aher > he refused <3985 ma>en > to give <5414 nathan > thee for money <3701 keceph > : for Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is not alive <2416 chay > ,  but dead <4191 muwth > .

 : 16 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <3588 kiy > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth > was dead <4191 muwth > ,  that Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > rose <6965 quwm > up to go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > ,  to take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash > of it .

 : 17 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 19 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Hast thou killed <7523 ratsach > ,  and also <1571 gam > taken possession <3423 yarash > ?  And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  In the place <4725 maqowm > where <0834 >aher > dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > shall dogs <3611 keleb > lick <3952 laqaq > thy blood <1818 dam > ,  even <1571 gam > thine <0859 >attah > .

 : 20 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  Hast thou found <4672 matsa> > me ,  O mine enemy <0341 >oyeb > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have found <4672 matsa> >  [ thee ]  : because <3588 kiy > thou hast sold <4376 makar > thyself to work <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 21 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon thee ,  and will take <1197 ba<ar > away thy posterity <0310 >achar > ,  and will cut <3772 karath > off from Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > him that pisseth <8366 shathan > against the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left <5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

 : 22 And will make <5414 nathan > thine house <1004 bayith > like the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  and like the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > ,  for the provocation <3708 ka<ac > wherewith <0834 >aher > thou hast provoked  [ me ]  to anger <3707 ka<ac > ,  and made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > .

 : 23 And of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > also <1571 gam > spake <1696 dabar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > by the wall <2426 cheyl > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .

 : 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > ,  that Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 3 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  Know <3045 yada< > ye that Ramoth <7216 Ra>mowth > in Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >  [ is ]  ours ,  and we  [ be ]  still ,   [ and ]  take <3947 laqach > it not out of the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > ?

 : 11 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > made <6213 <asah > him horns <7161 qeren > of iron <1270 barzel > : and he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  With these <0428 >el - leh > shalt thou push <5055 nagach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  until <5704 <ad > thou have consumed <3615 kalah > them .

 : 12 And all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > so ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ,  and prosper <6743 tsalach > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  into the king s <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad > .

 : 13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone <1980 halak > to call <7121 qara> > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  the words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >  [ declare ]  good <2896 towb > unto the king <4428 melek > with one <0259 >echad > mouth <6310 peh > : let thy word <1697 dabar > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  be like the word <1697 dabar > of one <0259 >echad > of them ,  and speak <1696 dabar >  [ that which is ]  good <2896 towb > .

 : 14 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  what the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar > unto me ,  that will I speak <1696 dabar > .

 : 15 .  So he came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek > .  And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > ,  shall we go <3212 yalak > against <0413 >el > Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > to battle <4421 milchamah > ,  or shall we forbear <2308 chadal > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > him ,  Go <5927 <alah > ,  and prosper <6743 tsalach > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > .

 : 16 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  How <5704 <ad > many times <6471 pa<am > shall I adjure <7650 shaba< > thee that thou tell <1696 dabar > me nothing <3808 lo> > but  [ that which is ]  true <0571 >emeth > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ?

 : 17 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I saw <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > scattered <6327 puwts > upon the hills <2022 har > ,  as sheep <6629 tso>n > that have not a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > : and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  These <0428 >el - leh > have no <3808 lo> > master <0113 >adown > : let them return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004 bayith > in peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 18 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  Did I not tell <0559 >amar > thee that he would prophesy <5012 naba> > no <3808 lo> > good <2896 towb > concerning <5921 <al > me ,  but evil <7451 ra< > ?

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > thou therefore <3651 ken > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : I saw <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sitting <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  and all <3605 kol > the host of heaven <8064 shamayim > standing <5975 <amad > by him on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand and on his left <8040 s@mo>wl > .

 : 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  Who <4310 miy > shall persuade <6601 pathah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  that he may go <5927 <alah > up and fall <5307 naphal > at Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ?  And one said <0559 >amar > on this <3541 koh > manner <3541 koh > ,  and another <2088 zeh > said <0559 >amar > on that manner <3541 koh > .

 : 21 And there <8033 sham > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  I will persuade <6601 pathah > him .

 : 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Wherewith <4100 mah > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I will go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and I will be a lying <8267 sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all <3605 kol > his prophets <5030 nabiy> > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou shalt persuade <6601 pathah >  [ him ]  ,  and prevail <3201 yakol > also <1571 gam > : go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and do <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .

 : 23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath put <5414 nathan > a lying <8267 sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > evil <7451 ra< > concerning <5921 <al > thee .

 : 24 But Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > went <5674 <abar > near <5066 nagash > ,  and smote <5221 nakah > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > on <5921 <al > the cheek <3895 l@chiy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Which way <2088 zeh > went <5674 <abar > the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from me to speak <1696 dabar > unto thee ?

 : 25 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > in that day <3117 yowm > ,  when <0834 >aher > thou shalt go <0935 bow> > into an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > to hide <2247 chabah > thyself .

 : 26 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > ,  Take <3947 laqach > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > ,  and carry <7725 shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > unto Amon <0526 >Amown > the governor <8269 sar > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and to Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king s <4428 melek > son <1121 ben > ;

 : 27 And say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Put <7760 suwm > this <2088 zeh >  [ fellow ]  in the prison ,  and feed <0398 >akal > him with bread <3899 lechem > of affliction <3905 lachats > and with water <4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats > ,  until <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > in peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 28 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > at all in peace <7965 shalowm > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696 dabar > by me .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Hearken <8085 shama< > ,  O people <5971 <am > ,  every <3605 kol > one of you .

 : 29 .  So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > .

 : 30 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  I will disguise <2664 chaphas > myself ,  and enter <0935 bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah > ;  but put <3847 labash > thou on thy robes <0899 beged > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > disguised <2664 chaphas > himself ,  and went <0935 bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah > .

 : 31 But the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > commanded <6680 tsavah > his thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > that had rule over his chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Fight <3898 lacham > neither <3808 lo> > with small <6996 qatan > nor great <1419 gadowl > ,  save only <0905 bad > with the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 32 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains <8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > saw <7200 ra>ah > Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  that they said <0559 >amar > ,  Surely <0389 >ak > it  [ is ]  the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .  And they turned <5493 cuwr > aside to fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > him : and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > cried <2199 za<aq > out .

 : 33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains <8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah > that it  [ was ]  not the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  that they turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from pursuing <0310 >achar > him .

 : 34 And a  [ certain ]  man <0376 >iysh > drew <4900 mashak > a bow <7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom > ,  and smote <5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > between <0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness <8302 shiryown > : wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the driver <7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab > ,  Turn <2015 haphak > thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and carry <3318 yatsa> > me out of the host <4264 machaneh > ;  for I am wounded <2470 chalah > .

 : 35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 <alah > that day <3117 yowm > : and the king <4428 melek > was stayed <5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227 nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  and died <4191 muwth > at even <6153 <ereb > : and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq > out of the wound <4347 makkah > into <0413 >el > the midst <2436 cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb > .

 : 36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation <7440 rinnah > throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going <0935 bow> > down of the sun <8121 shemesh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Every man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr > ,  and every man <0376 >iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets > .

 : 37 So the king <4428 melek > died <4191 muwth > ,  and was brought <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ;  and they buried <6912 qabar > the king <4428 melek > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 38 And  [ one ]  washed <7857 shataph > the chariot <7393 rekeb > in the pool <1295 b@rekah > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ;  and the dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > up his blood <1818 dam > ;  and they washed <7364 rachats > his armour <2185 zonowth > ;  according unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > .

 : 39 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah > ,  and the ivory <8127 shen > house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > he made <1129 banah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > that he built <1129 banah > ,   [ 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 > ?

 : 40 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1> ;  and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : 41 .  And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 42 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >  [ was ]  thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak > ;  and he reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  Azubah <5806 <Azuwbah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Shilhi <7977 Shilchiy > .

 : 43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways <1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1> ;  he turned <5493 cuwr > not aside from it ,  doing <6213 <asah >  [ that which was ]  right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > ;   [ for ]  the people <5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > yet <3588 kiy > in the high <1116 bamah > places .

 : 44 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made peace <7999 shalam > with the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .
