2 Kings 1: 1-18


1  Then Moab4124 rebelled6586 against Israel3478 after310 the death4194 of Ahab.256

2  And Ahaziah274 fell down5307 through1157 a lattice7639 in his upper chamber5944 that834 was in Samaria,8111 and was sick:2470 and he sent7971 messengers,4397 and said559 unto413 them, Go,1980 inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron6138 whether518 I shall recover2421 of this disease.4480 2483 2088

3  But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to413 Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go up5927 to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 unto413 them, Is it not because4480 1097 there is not369 a God430 in Israel,3478 that ye859 go1980 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4  Now therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Thou shalt not3808 come down3381 from4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191 And Elijah452 departed.1980

5  And when the messengers4397 turned back7725 unto413 him, he said559 unto413 them, Why4100 are ye now2088 turned back?7725

6  And they said559 unto413 him, There came5927 a man376 up5927 to meet7125 us, and said559 unto413 us, Go,1980 turn again7725 unto413 the king4428 that834 sent7971 you, and say1696 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because4480 1097 there is not369 a God430 in Israel,3478 that thou859 sendest7971 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 thou shalt not3808 come down3381 from4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191

7  And he said1696 unto413 them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came up5927 to meet7125 you, and told1696 413 you 853 these428 words?1697

8  And they answered559 413 him, He was a hairy man,376 1167 8181 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It1931 is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9  Then the king sent7971 unto413 him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went up5927 to413 him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of a hill.2022 And he spoke1696 unto413 him, Thou man376 of God,430 the king4428 hath said,1696 Come down.3381

10  And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to413 the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I589 be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consume398 thee and thy fifty.2572 And there came down3381 fire784 from4480 heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11  Again7725 also he sent7971 unto413 him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 unto413 him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 hath the king4428 said,559 Come down3381 quickly.4120

12  And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 unto413 them, If518 I589 be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consume398 thee and thy fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13  And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went up,5927 and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and besought2603 413 him, and said1696 unto413 him, O man376 of God,430 I pray thee,4994 let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 thy servants,5650 be precious3365 in thy sight.5869

14  Behold,2009 there came fire down3381 784 from4480 heaven,8064 and burnt up398 853 the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in thy sight.5869

15  And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 unto413 Elijah,452 Go down3381 with854 him: be not afraid408 3372 of4480 6440 him. And he arose,6965 and went down3381 with854 him unto413 the king.4428

16  And he said1696 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Forasmuch as3282 834 thou hast sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because4480 1097 there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore3651 thou shalt not3808 come down3381 off4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191

17  So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 King4428 of Judah:3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478


2 Kings 2: 1-25


1  And it came to pass,1961 when the LORD3068 would take up5927 853 Elijah452 into heaven8064 by a whirlwind,5591 that Elijah452 went1980 with Elisha477 from4480 Gilgal.1537

2  And Elijah452 said559 unto413 Elisha,477 Tarry3427 here,6311 I pray thee;4994 for3588 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to5704 Bethel.1008 And Elisha477 said559 unto him, As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not518 leave5800 thee. So they went down3381 to Bethel.1008

3  And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that834 were at Bethel1008 came forth3318 to413 Elisha,477 and said559 unto413 him, Knowest3045 thou that3588 the LORD3068 will take away3947 853 thy master113 from4480 5921 thy head7218 today?3117 And he said,559 Yea,1571 I589 know3045 it; hold ye your peace.2814

4  And Elijah452 said559 unto him, Elisha,477 tarry3427 here,6311 I pray thee;4994 for3588 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to Jericho.3405 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not518 leave5800 thee. So they came935 to Jericho.3405

5  And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that834 were at Jericho3405 came5066 to413 Elisha,477 and said559 unto413 him, Knowest3045 thou that3588 the LORD3068 will take away3947 853 thy master113 from4480 5921 thy head7218 today?3117 And he answered,559 Yea,1571 I589 know3045 it; hold ye your peace.2814

6  And Elijah452 said559 unto him, Tarry,3427 I pray thee,4994 here;6311 for3588 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to Jordan.3383 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not518 leave5800 thee. And they two8147 went on.1980

7  And fifty2572 men376 of the sons4480 1121 of the prophets5030 went,1980 and stood5975 to view4480 5048 afar off:4480 7350 and they two8147 stood5975 by5921 Jordan.3383

8  And Elijah452 took3947 853 his mantle,155 and wrapped it together,1563 and smote5221 853 the waters,4325 and they were divided2673 hither2008 and thither,2008 so that they two8147 went over5674 on dry ground.2724

9  And it came to pass,1961 when they were gone over,5674 that Elijah452 said559 unto413 Elisha,477 Ask7592 what4100 I shall do6213 for thee, before2962 I be taken away3947 from4480 5973 thee. And Elisha477 said,559 I pray thee,4994 let a double8147 portion6310 of thy spirit7307 be1961 upon413 me.

10  And he said,559 Thou hast asked7592 a hard thing:7185 nevertheless, if518 thou see7200 me when I am taken3947 from4480 854 thee, it shall be1961 so3651 unto thee; but if518 not,369 it shall not3808 be1961 so.

11  And it came to pass,1961 as they1992 still went on,1980 and talked,1696 that, behold,2009 there appeared a chariot7393 of fire,784 and horses5483 of fire,784 and parted6504 them both8147 asunder;996 and Elijah452 went up5927 by a whirlwind5591 into heaven.8064

12  And Elisha477 saw7200 it, and he1931 cried,6817 My father,1 my father,1 the chariot7393 of Israel,3478 and the horsemen6571 thereof. And he saw7200 him no3808 more:5750 and he took hold2388 of his own clothes,899 and rent7167 them in two8147 pieces.7168

13  He took up7311 also 853 the mantle155 of Elijah452 that834 fell5307 from4480 5921 him, and went back,7725 and stood5975 by5921 the bank8193 of Jordan;3383

14  And he took3947 853 the mantle155 of Elijah452 that834 fell5307 from4480 5921 him, and smote5221 853 the waters,4325 and said,559 Where346 is the LORD3068 God430 of Elijah?452 and when he1931 also637 had smitten5221 853 the waters,4325 they parted2673 hither2008 and thither:2008 and Elisha477 went over.5674

15  And when the sons1121 of the prophets5030 which834 were to view4480 5048 at Jericho3405 saw7200 him, they said,559 The spirit7307 of Elijah452 doth rest5117 on5921 Elisha.477 And they came935 to meet7125 him, and bowed themselves7812 to the ground776 before him.

16  And they said559 unto413 him, Behold2009 now,4994 there be3426 with854 thy servants5650 fifty2572 strong1121 2428 men;376 let them go,1980 we pray thee,4994 and seek1245 853 thy master:113 lest peradventure6435 the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 hath taken him up,5375 and cast7993 him upon some259 mountain,2022 or176 into some259 valley.1516 And he said,559 Ye shall not3808 send.7971

17  And when they urged6484 him till5704 he was ashamed,954 he said,559 Send.7971 They sent7971 therefore fifty2572 men;376 and they sought1245 three7969 days,3117 but found4672 him not.3808

18  And when they came again7725 to413 him, (for he1931 tarried3427 at Jericho,)3405 he said559 unto413 them, Did I not3808 say559 unto413 you, Go1980 not?408

19  And the men376 of the city5892 said559 unto413 Elisha,477 Behold,2009 I pray thee,4994 the situation4186 of this city5892 is pleasant,2896 as834 my lord113 seeth:7200 but the water4325 is naught,7451 and the ground776 barren.7921

20  And he said,559 Bring3947 me a new2319 cruse,6746 and put7760 salt4417 therein.8033 And they brought3947 it to413 him.

21  And he went forth3318 unto413 the spring4161 of the waters,4325 and cast7993 the salt4417 in there,8033 and said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 I have healed7495 these428 waters;4325 there shall not3808 be1961 from thence4480 8033 any more5750 death4194 or barren7921 land.

22  So the waters4325 were healed7495 unto5704 this2088 day,3117 according to the saying1697 of Elisha477 which834 he spoke.1696

23  And he went up5927 from thence4480 8033 unto Bethel:1008 and as he1931 was going up5927 by the way,1870 there came forth3318 little6996 children5288 out of4480 the city,5892 and mocked7046 him, and said559 unto him, Go up,5927 thou bald head;7142 go up,5927 thou bald head.7142

24  And he turned6437 back,310 and looked7200 on them, and cursed7043 them in the name8034 of the LORD.3068 And there came forth3318 two8147 she bears1677 out of4480 the wood,3293 and tore1234 forty705 and two8147 children3206 of4480 them.

25  And he went1980 from thence4480 8033 to413 mount2022 Carmel,3760 and from thence4480 8033 he returned7725 to Samaria.8111


2 Kings 3: 1-27


1  Now Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Ahab256 began to reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria8111 the eighteenth8083 6240 year8141 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah,3063 and reigned4427 twelve8147 6240 years.8141

2  And he wrought6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD;3068 but7535 not3808 like his father,1 and like his mother:517 for he put away5493 853 the image4676 of Baal1168 that834 his father1 had made.6213

3  Nevertheless7535 he cleaved1692 unto the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 which834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin;2398 he departed5493 not3808 therefrom.4480

4  And Mesha4338 king4428 of Moab4124 was1961 a sheepmaster,5349 and rendered7725 unto the king4428 of Israel3478 a hundred3967 thousand505 lambs,3733 and a hundred3967 thousand505 rams,352 with the wool.6785

5  But it came to pass,1961 when Ahab256 was dead,4194 that the king4428 of Moab4124 rebelled6586 against the king4428 of Israel.3478

6  And king4428 Jehoram3088 went out3318 of Samaria4480 8111 the same1931 time,3117 and numbered6485 853 all3605 Israel.3478

7  And he went1980 and sent7971 to413 Jehoshaphat3092 the king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559 The king4428 of Moab4124 hath rebelled6586 against me: wilt thou go1980 with854 me against413 Moab4124 to battle?4421 And he said,559 I will go up:5927 I am as thou art, my people5971 as thy people,5971 and my horses5483 as thy horses.5483

8  And he said,559 Which335 2088 way1870 shall we go up?5927 And he answered,559 The way1870 through the wilderness4057 of Edom.123

9  So the king4428 of Israel3478 went,1980 and the king4428 of Judah,3063 and the king4428 of Edom:123 and they fetched a compass5437 of seven7651 days'3117 journey:1870 and there was1961 no3808 water4325 for the host,4264 and for the cattle929 that834 followed7272 them.

10  And the king4428 of Israel3478 said,559 Alas!162 that3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 these428 three7969 kings4428 together, to deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Moab!4124

11  But Jehoshaphat3092 said,559 Is there not369 here6311 a prophet5030 of the LORD,3068 that we may inquire1875 of 853 the LORD3068 by4480 854 him? And one259 of the king4428 of Israel's servants4480 5650 3478 answered6030 and said,559 Here6311 is Elisha477 the son1121 of Shaphat,8202 which834 poured3332 water4325 on5921 the hands3027 of Elijah.452

12  And Jehoshaphat3092 said,559 The word1697 of the LORD3068 is3426 with854 him. So the king4428 of Israel3478 and Jehoshaphat3092 and the king4428 of Edom123 went down3381 to413 him.

13  And Elisha477 said559 unto413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 What4100 have I to do with thee? get1980 thee to413 the prophets5030 of thy father,1 and to413 the prophets5030 of thy mother.517 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto him, Nay:408 for3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 these428 three7969 kings4428 together, to deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Moab.4124

14  And Elisha477 said,559 As the LORD3068 of hosts6635 liveth,2416 before6440 whom834 I stand,5975 surely,3588 were it not3884 that I589 regard5375 the presence6440 of Jehoshaphat3092 the king4428 of Judah,3063 I would not look5027 toward413 thee, nor518 see7200 thee.

15  But now6258 bring3947 me a minstrel.5059 And it came to pass,1961 when the minstrel5059 played,5059 that the hand3027 of the LORD3068 came1961 upon5921 him.

16  And he said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Make6213 this2088 valley5158 full of ditches.1356 1356

17  For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Ye shall not3808 see7200 wind,7307 neither3808 shall ye see7200 rain;1653 yet that1931 valley5158 shall be filled4390 with water,4325 that ye may drink,8354 both ye,859 and your cattle,4735 and your beasts.929

18  And this2063 is but a light thing7043 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he will deliver5414 853 the Moabites4124 also into your hand.3027

19  And ye shall smite5221 every3605 fenced4013 city,5892 and every3605 choice4004 city,5892 and shall fell5307 every3605 good2896 tree,6086 and stop5640 all3605 wells4599 of water,4325 and mar3510 every3605 good2896 piece of land2513 with stones.68

20  And it came to pass1961 in the morning,1242 when the meat offering4503 was offered,5927 that, behold,2009 there came935 water4325 by the way4480 1870 of Edom,123 and the country776 was filled4390 with854 water.4325

21  And when all3605 the Moabites4124 heard8085 that3588 the kings4428 were come up5927 to fight3898 against them, they gathered all6817 4480 3605 that were able to put on2296 armor,2290 and upward,4605 and stood5975 in5921 the border.1366

22  And they rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and the sun8121 shone2224 upon5921 the water,4325 and the Moabites4124 saw7200 853 the water4325 on the other side4480 5048 as red122 as blood:1818

23  And they said,559 This2088 is blood:1818 the kings4428 are surely slain,2717 2717 and they have smitten5221 853 one376 another:7453 now6258 therefore, Moab,4124 to the spoil.7998

24  And when they came935 to413 the camp4264 of Israel,3478 the Israelites3478 rose up6965 and smote5221 853 the Moabites,4124 so that they fled5127 before4480 6440 them: but they went5221 forward smiting5221 853 the Moabites,4124 even in their country.

25  And they beat down2040 the cities,5892 and on every3605 good2896 piece2513 of land cast7993 every man376 his stone,68 and filled4390 it; and they stopped5640 all3605 the wells4599 of water,4325 and felled5307 all3605 the good2896 trees:6086 only5704 in Kir-haraseth7025 left7604 they the stones68 thereof; howbeit the slingers7051 went about5437 it, and smote5221 it.

26  And when the king4428 of Moab4124 saw7200 that3588 the battle4421 was too sore2388 for4480 him, he took3947 with854 him seven7651 hundred3967 men376 that drew8025 swords,2719 to break through1234 even unto413 the king4428 of Edom:123 but they could3201 not.3808

27  Then he took3947 853 his eldest1060 son1121 that834 should have reigned4427 in his stead,8478 and offered5927 him for a burnt offering5930 upon5921 the wall.2346 And there was1961 great1419 indignation7110 against5921 Israel:3478 and they departed5265 from4480 5921 him, and returned7725 to their own land.776


2 Kings 4: 1-44


1  Now there cried6817 a certain259 woman802 of the wives4480 802 of the sons1121 of the prophets5030 unto413 Elisha,477 saying,559 Thy servant5650 my husband376 is dead;4191 and thou859 knowest3045 that3588 thy servant5650 did1961 fear3372 853 the LORD:3068 and the creditor5383 is come935 to take3947 unto him 853 my two8147 sons3206 to be bondmen.5650

2  And Elisha477 said559 unto413 her, What4100 shall I do6213 for thee? tell5046 me, what4100 hast3426 thou in the house?1004 And she said,559 Thine handmaid8198 hath not369 any thing3605 in the house,1004 save3588 518 a pot610 of oil.8081

3  Then he said,559 Go,1980 borrow7592 thee vessels3627 abroad4480 2351 of4480 854 all3605 thy neighbors,7934 even empty7386 vessels;3627 borrow not a few.408 4591

4  And when thou art come in,935 thou shalt shut5462 the door1817 upon1157 thee and upon1157 thy sons,1121 and shalt pour out3332 into5921 all3605 those428 vessels,3627 and thou shalt set aside5265 that which is full.4392

5  So she went1980 from4480 854 him, and shut5462 the door1817 upon1157 her and upon1157 her sons,1121 who1992 brought5066 the vessels to413 her; and she1931 poured out.3332

6  And it came to pass,1961 when the vessels3627 were full,4390 that she said559 unto413 her son,1121 Bring5066 413 me yet5750 a vessel.3627 And he said559 unto413 her, There is not369 a vessel3627 more.5750 And the oil8081 stayed.5975

7  Then she came935 and told5046 the man376 of God.430 And he said,559 Go,1980 sell4376 853 the oil,8081 and pay7999 853 thy debt,5386 and live2421 thou859 and thy children1121 of the rest.3498

8  And it fell1961 on a day,3117 that Elisha477 passed5674 to413 Shunem,7766 where8033 was a great1419 woman;802 and she constrained2388 him to eat398 bread.3899 And so it was,1961 that as oft4480 1767 as he passed by,5674 he turned in5493 thither8033 to eat398 bread.3899

9  And she said559 unto413 her husband,376 Behold2009 now,4994 I perceive3045 that3588 this1931 is a holy6918 man376 of God,430 which passeth by5674 5921 us continually.8548

10  Let us make6213 a little6996 chamber,5944 I pray thee,4994 on the wall;7023 and let us set7760 for him there8033 a bed,4296 and a table,7979 and a stool,3678 and a candlestick:4501 and it shall be,1961 when he cometh935 to413 us, that he shall turn in5493 thither.8033

11  And it fell1961 on a day,3117 that he came935 thither,8033 and he turned5493 into413 the chamber,5944 and lay7901 there.8033

12  And he said559 to413 Gehazi1522 his servant,5288 Call7121 this2063 Shunammite.7767 And when he had called7121 her, she stood5975 before6440 him.

13  And he said559 unto him, Say559 now4994 unto413 her, Behold,2009 thou hast been careful2729 for413 us with854 all3605 this2063 care;2731 what4100 is to be done6213 for thee? wouldest3426 thou be spoken1696 for to413 the king,4428 or176 to413 the captain8269 of the host?6635 And she answered,559 I595 dwell3427 among8432 mine own people.5971

14  And he said,559 What4100 then is to be done6213 for her? And Gehazi1522 answered,559 Verily61 she hath no369 child,1121 and her husband376 is old.2204

15  And he said,559 Call7121 her. And when he had called7121 her, she stood5975 in the door.6607

16  And he said,559 About this2088 season,4150 according to the time6256 of life,2416 thou859 shalt embrace2263 a son.1121 And she said,559 Nay,408 my lord,113 thou man376 of God,430 do not lie3576 408 unto thine handmaid.8198

17  And the woman802 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son1121 at that2088 season4150 that834 Elisha477 had said1696 unto413 her, according to the time6256 of life.2416

18  And when the child3206 was grown,1431 it fell1961 on a day,3117 that he went out3318 to413 his father1 to413 the reapers.7114

19  And he said559 unto413 his father,1 My head,7218 my head.7218 And he said559 to413 a lad,5288 Carry5375 him to413 his mother.517

20  And when he had taken5375 him, and brought935 him to413 his mother,517 he sat3427 on5921 her knees1290 till5704 noon,6672 and then died.4191

21  And she went up,5927 and laid7901 him on5921 the bed4296 of the man376 of God,430 and shut5462 the door upon1157 him, and went out.3318

22  And she called7121 unto413 her husband,376 and said,559 Send7971 me, I pray thee,4994 one259 of4480 the young men,5288 and one259 of the asses,860 that I may run7323 to5704 the man376 of God,430 and come again.7725

23  And he said,559 Wherefore4069 wilt thou859 go1980 to413 him today?3117 it is neither3808 new moon,2320 nor3808 sabbath.7676 And she said,559 It shall be well.7965

24  Then she saddled2280 an ass,860 and said559 to413 her servant,5288 Drive,5090 and go forward;1980 slack6113 not408 thy riding7392 for me, except3588 518 I bid559 thee.

25  So she went1980 and came935 unto413 the man376 of God430 to413 mount2022 Carmel.3760 And it came to pass,1961 when the man376 of God430 saw7200 her afar off,4480 5048 that he said559 to413 Gehazi1522 his servant,5288 Behold,2009 yonder is that1975 Shunammite:7767

26  Run7323 now,6258 I pray thee,4994 to meet7122 her, and say559 unto her, Is it well7965 with thee? is it well7965 with thy husband?376 is it well7965 with the child?3206 And she answered,559 It is well.7965

27  And when she came935 to413 the man376 of God430 to413 the hill,2022 she caught2388 him by the feet:7272 but Gehazi1522 came near5066 to thrust her away.1920 And the man376 of God430 said,559 Let her alone;7503 for3588 her soul5315 is vexed4843 within her: and the LORD3068 hath hid5956 it from4480 me, and hath not3808 told5046 me.

28  Then she said,559 Did I desire7592 a son1121 of4480 854 my lord?113 did I not3808 say,559 Do not3808 deceive7952 me?

29  Then he said559 to Gehazi,1522 Gird up2296 thy loins,4975 and take3947 my staff4938 in thine hand,3027 and go thy way:1980 if3588 thou meet4672 any man,376 salute1288 him not;3808 and if3588 any376 salute1288 thee, answer6030 him not3808 again: and lay7760 my staff4938 upon5921 the face6440 of the child.5288

30  And the mother517 of the child5288 said,559 As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not518 leave5800 thee. And he arose,6965 and followed1980 310 her.

31  And Gehazi1522 passed on5674 before6440 them, and laid7760 853 the staff4938 upon5921 the face6440 of the child;5288 but there was neither369 voice,6963 nor369 hearing.7182 Wherefore he went again7725 to meet7122 him, and told5046 him, saying,559 The child5288 is not3808 awaked.6974

32  And when Elisha477 was come935 into the house,1004 behold,2009 the child5288 was dead,4191 and laid7901 upon5921 his bed.4296

33  He went in935 therefore, and shut5462 the door1817 upon1157 them twain,8147 and prayed6419 unto413 the LORD.3068

34  And he went up,5927 and lay7901 upon5921 the child,3206 and put7760 his mouth6310 upon5921 his mouth,6310 and his eyes5869 upon5921 his eyes,5869 and his hands3709 upon5921 his hands:3709 and he stretched1457 himself upon5921 the child; and the flesh1320 of the child3206 waxed warm.2552

35  Then he returned,7725 and walked1980 in the house1004 to and fro;259 2008 259 2008 and went up,5927 and stretched1457 himself upon5921 him: and the child5288 sneezed2237 5704 seven7651 times,6471 and the child5288 opened6491 853 his eyes.5869

36  And he called7121 413 Gehazi,1522 and said,559 Call7121 413 this2063 Shunammite.7767 So he called7121 her. And when she was come935 in unto413 him, he said,559 Take up5375 thy son.1121

37  Then she went in,935 and fell5307 at5921 his feet,7272 and bowed herself7812 to the ground,776 and took up5375 853 her son,1121 and went out.3318

38  And Elisha477 came again7725 to Gilgal:1537 and there was a dearth7458 in the land;776 and the sons1121 of the prophets5030 were sitting3427 before6440 him: and he said559 unto his servant,5288 Set on8239 the great1419 pot,5518 and seethe1310 pottage5138 for the sons1121 of the prophets.5030

39  And one259 went out3318 into413 the field7704 to gather3950 herbs,219 and found4672 a wild7704 vine,1612 and gathered3950 thereof4480 wild7704 gourds6498 his lap899 full,4393 and came935 and shred6398 them into413 the pot5518 of pottage:5138 for3588 they knew3045 them not.3808

40  So they poured out3332 for the men376 to eat.398 And it came to pass,1961 as they were eating398 of the pottage,4480 5138 that they1992 cried out,6817 and said,559 O thou man376 of God,430 there is death4194 in the pot.5518 And they could3201 not3808 eat398 thereof.

41  But he said,559 Then bring3947 meal.7058 And he cast7993 it into413 the pot;5518 and he said,559 Pour out3332 for the people,5971 that they may eat.398 And there was1961 no3808 harm1697 7451 in the pot.5518

42  And there came935 a man376 from Baal-shalisha,4480 1190 and brought935 the man376 of God430 bread3899 of the firstfruits,1061 twenty6242 loaves3899 of barley,8184 and full ears of corn3759 in the husk6861 thereof. And he said,559 Give5414 unto the people,5971 that they may eat.398

43  And his servitor8334 said,559 What,4100 should I set5414 this2088 before6440 a hundred3967 men?376 He said559 again, Give5414 the people,5971 that they may eat:398 for3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 They shall eat,398 and shall leave3498 thereof.

44  So he set5414 it before6440 them, and they did eat,398 and left3498 thereof, according to the word1697 of the LORD.3068


2 Kings 5: 1-27


1  Now Naaman,5283 captain8269 of the host6635 of the king4428 of Syria,758 was1961 a great1419 man376 with6440 his master,113 and honorable,5375 6440 because3588 by him the LORD3068 had given5414 deliverance8668 unto Syria:758 he was1961 also a mighty1368 man376 in valor,2428 but he was a leper.6879

2  And the Syrians758 had gone out3318 by companies,1416 and had brought away captive7617 out of the land4480 776 of Israel3478 a little6996 maid;5291 and she waited1961 6440 on Naaman's5283 wife.802

3  And she said559 unto413 her mistress,1404 Would God305 my lord113 were with6440 the prophet5030 that834 is in Samaria!8111 for227 he would recover622 him of his leprosy.4480 6883

4  And one went in,935 and told5046 his lord,113 saying,559 Thus2063 and thus2063 said1696 the maid5291 that834 is of the land4480 776 of Israel.3478

5  And the king4428 of Syria758 said,559 Go to,1980 go,935 and I will send7971 a letter5612 unto413 the king4428 of Israel.3478 And he departed,1980 and took3947 with3027 him ten6235 talents3603 of silver,3701 and six8337 thousand505 pieces of gold,2091 and ten6235 changes2487 of raiment.899

6  And he brought935 the letter5612 to413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Now6258 when this2088 letter5612 is come935 unto413 thee, behold,2009 I have therewith sent7971 853 Naaman5283 my servant5650 to413 thee, that thou mayest recover622 him of his leprosy.4480 6883

7  And it came to pass,1961 when the king4428 of Israel3478 had read7121 853 the letter,5612 that he rent7167 his clothes,899 and said,559 Am I589 God,430 to kill4191 and to make alive,2421 that3588 this2088 man doth send7971 unto413 me to recover622 a man376 of his leprosy?4480 6883 wherefore3588 389 consider,3045 I pray you,4994 and see7200 how3588 he1931 seeketh a quarrel579 against me.

8  And it was1961 so, when Elisha477 the man376 of God430 had heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Israel3478 had rent7167 853 his clothes,899 that he sent7971 to413 the king,4428 saying,559 Wherefore4100 hast thou rent7167 thy clothes?899 let him come935 now4994 to413 me, and he shall know3045 that3588 there is3426 a prophet5030 in Israel.3478

9  So Naaman5283 came935 with his horses5483 and with his chariot,7393 and stood5975 at the door6607 of the house1004 of Elisha.477

10  And Elisha477 sent7971 a messenger4397 unto413 him, saying,559 Go1980 and wash7364 in Jordan3383 seven7651 times,6471 and thy flesh1320 shall come again7725 to thee, and thou shalt be clean.2891

11  But Naaman5283 was wroth,7107 and went away,1980 and said,559 Behold,2009 I thought,559 He will surely come out3318 3318 to413 me, and stand,5975 and call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD3068 his God,430 and strike5130 his hand3027 over413 the place,4725 and recover622 the leper.6879

12  Are not3808 Abana71 and Pharpar,6554 rivers5104 of Damascus,1834 better2896 than all4480 3605 the waters4325 of Israel?3478 may I not3808 wash7364 in them, and be clean?2891 So he turned6437 and went away1980 in a rage.2534

13  And his servants5650 came near,5066 and spoke1696 unto413 him, and said,559 My father,1 if the prophet5030 had bid1696 413 thee do some great1419 thing,1697 wouldest thou not3808 have done6213 it? how much rather637 then, when3588 he saith559 to413 thee, Wash,7364 and be clean?2891

14  Then went he down,3381 and dipped2881 himself seven7651 times6471 in Jordan,3383 according to the saying1697 of the man376 of God:430 and his flesh1320 came again7725 like unto the flesh1320 of a little6996 child,5288 and he was clean.2891

15  And he returned7725 to413 the man376 of God,430 he1931 and all3605 his company,4264 and came,935 and stood5975 before6440 him: and he said,559 Behold,2009 now4994 I know3045 that3588 there is no369 God430 in all3605 the earth,776 but3588 518 in Israel:3478 now6258 therefore, I pray thee,4994 take3947 a blessing1293 of4480 854 thy servant.5650

16  But he said,559 As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 before6440 whom834 I stand,5975 I will receive3947 none. And he urged6484 him to take3947 it; but he refused.3985

17  And Naaman5283 said,559 Shall there not3808 then, I pray thee,4994 be given5414 to thy servant5650 two mules'6776 6505 burden4853 of earth?127 for3588 thy servant5650 will henceforth5750 offer6213 neither3808 burnt offering5930 nor sacrifice2077 unto other312 gods,430 but3588 518 unto the LORD.3068

18  In this2088 thing1697 the LORD3068 pardon5545 thy servant,5650 that when my master113 goeth935 into the house1004 of Rimmon7417 to worship7812 there,8033 and he1931 leaneth8172 on5921 my hand,3027 and I bow myself7812 in the house1004 of Rimmon:7417 when I bow down myself7812 in the house1004 of Rimmon,7417 the LORD3068 pardon5545 thy servant5650 in this2088 thing.1697

19  And he said559 unto him, Go1980 in peace.7965 So he departed1980 from4480 854 him a little way.3530 776

20  But Gehazi,1522 the servant5288 of Elisha477 the man376 of God,430 said,559 Behold,2009 my master113 hath spared2820 853 Naaman5283 this2088 Syrian,761 in not receiving4480 3947 at his hands4480 3027 853 that which834 he brought:935 but,3588 518 as the LORD3068 liveth,2416 I will run7323 after310 him, and take3947 somewhat3972 of4480 854 him.

21  So Gehazi1522 followed7291 after310 Naaman.5283 And when Naaman5283 saw7200 him running7323 after310 him, he lighted down5307 from4480 5921 the chariot4818 to meet7122 him, and said,559 Is all well?7965

22  And he said,559 All is well.7965 My master113 hath sent7971 me, saying,559 Behold,2009 even now6258 2088 there be come935 to413 me from mount4480 2022 Ephraim669 two8147 young men5288 of the sons4480 1121 of the prophets:5030 give5414 them, I pray thee,4994 a talent3603 of silver,3701 and two8147 changes2487 of garments.899

23  And Naaman5283 said,559 Be content,2974 take3947 two talents.3603 And he urged6555 him, and bound6696 two talents3603 of silver3701 in two8147 bags,2754 with two8147 changes2487 of garments,899 and laid5414 them upon413 two8147 of his servants;5288 and they bore5375 them before6440 him.

24  And when he came935 to413 the tower,6076 he took3947 them from their hand,4480 3027 and bestowed6485 them in the house:1004 and he let 853 the men376 go,7971 and they departed.1980

25  But he1931 went in,935 and stood5975 before413 his master.113 And Elisha477 said559 unto413 him, Whence4480 370 comest thou, Gehazi?1522 And he said,559 Thy servant5650 went1980 no3808 whither.575 575

26  And he said559 unto413 him, Went1980 not3808 mine heart3820 with thee, when834 the man376 turned again2015 from4480 5921 his chariot4818 to meet7122 thee? Is it a time6256 to receive3947 853 money,3701 and to receive3947 garments,899 and oliveyards,2132 and vineyards,3754 and sheep,6629 and oxen,1241 and menservants,5650 and maidservants?8198

27  The leprosy6883 therefore of Naaman5283 shall cleave1692 unto thee, and unto thy seed2233 forever.5769 And he went out3318 from his presence4480 6440 a leper6879 as white as snow.7950


2 Kings 6: 1-33


1  And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 said559 unto413 Elisha,477 Behold2009 now,4994 the place4725 where834 8033 we587 dwell3427 with6440 thee is too strait6862 for4480 us.

2  Let us go,1980 we pray thee,4994 unto5704 Jordan,3383 and take3947 thence4480 8033 every man376 a259 beam,6982 and let us make6213 us a place4725 there,8033 where8033 we may dwell.3427 And he answered,559 Go1980 ye.

3  And one259 said,559 Be content,2974 I pray thee,4994 and go1980 with854 thy servants.5650 And he answered,559 I589 will go.1980

4  So he went1980 with854 them. And when they came935 to Jordan,3383 they cut down1504 wood.6086

5  But as one259 was1961 felling5307 a beam,6982 the axe head1270 fell5307 into413 the water:4325 and he cried,6817 and said,559 Alas,162 master!113 for it1931 was borrowed.7592

6  And the man376 of God430 said,559 Where575 fell5307 it? And he showed7200 him 853 the place.4725 And he cut down7094 a stick,6086 and cast7993 it in thither;8033 and the iron1270 did swim.6687

7  Therefore said559 he, Take it up7311 to thee. And he put out7971 his hand,3027 and took3947 it.

8  Then the king4428 of Syria758 warred3898 against Israel,3478 and took counsel3289 with413 his servants,5650 saying,559 In413 such and such6423 492 a place4725 shall be my camp.8466

9  And the man376 of God430 sent7971 unto413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Beware8104 that thou pass not4480 5674 such2088 a place;4725 for3588 thither8033 the Syrians758 are come down.5185

10  And the king4428 of Israel3478 sent7971 to413 the place4725 which834 the man376 of God430 told559 him and warned2094 him of, and saved himself8104 there,8033 not3808 once259 nor3808 twice.8147

11  Therefore the heart3820 of the king4428 of Syria758 was sore troubled5590 for5921 this2088 thing;1697 and he called7121 413 his servants,5650 and said559 unto413 them, Will ye not3808 show5046 me which4310 of4480 7495 us is for413 the king4428 of Israel?3478

12  And one259 of his servants4480 5650 said,559 None,3808 my lord,113 O king:4428 but3588 Elisha,477 the prophet5030 that834 is in Israel,3478 telleth5046 the king4428 of Israel3478 853 the words1697 that834 thou speakest1696 in thy bedchamber.2315 4904

13  And he said,559 Go1980 and spy7200 where351 he1931 is, that I may send7971 and fetch3947 him. And it was told5046 him, saying,559 Behold,2009 he is in Dothan.1886

14  Therefore sent7971 he thither8033 horses,5483 and chariots,7393 and a great3515 host:2428 and they came935 by night,3915 and compassed5362 5921 the city5892 about.

15  And when the servant8334 of the man376 of God430 was risen6965 early,7925 and gone forth,3318 behold,2009 a host2428 compassed5437 853 the city5892 both with horses5483 and chariots.7393 And his servant5288 said559 unto413 him, Alas,162 my master!113 how349 shall we do?6213

16  And he answered,559 Fear3372 not:408 for3588 they that834 be with854 us are more7227 than they that4480 834 be with854 them.

17  And Elisha477 prayed,6419 and said,559 LORD,3068 I pray thee,4994 open6491 853 his eyes,5869 that he may see.7200 And the LORD3068 opened6491 853 the eyes5869 of the young man;5288 and he saw:7200 and, behold,2009 the mountain2022 was full4390 of horses5483 and chariots7393 of fire784 round about5439 Elisha.477

18  And when they came down3381 to413 him, Elisha477 prayed6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 and said,559 Smite5221 853 this2088 people,1471 I pray thee,4994 with blindness.5575 And he smote5221 them with blindness5575 according to the word1697 of Elisha.477

19  And Elisha477 said559 unto413 them, This2088 is not3808 the way,1870 neither3808 is this2090 the city:5892 follow1980 310 me, and I will bring1980 you to413 the man376 whom834 ye seek.1245 But he led1980 them to Samaria.8111

20  And it came to pass,1961 when they were come935 into Samaria,8111 that Elisha477 said,559 LORD,3068 open6491 853 the eyes5869 of these428 men, that they may see.7200 And the LORD3068 opened6491 853 their eyes,5869 and they saw;7200 and, behold,2009 they were in the midst8432 of Samaria.8111

21  And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto413 Elisha,477 when he saw7200 them, My father,1 shall I smite5221 them? shall I smite5221 them?

22  And he answered,559 Thou shalt not3808 smite5221 them: wouldest thou859 smite5221 those whom834 thou hast taken captive7617 with thy sword2719 and with thy bow?7198 set7760 bread3899 and water4325 before6440 them, that they may eat398 and drink,8354 and go1980 to413 their master.113

23  And he prepared3739 great1419 provision3740 for them: and when they had eaten398 and drunk,8354 he sent them away,7971 and they went1980 to413 their master.113 So the bands1416 of Syria758 came935 no3808 more3254 5750 into the land776 of Israel.3478

24  And it came to pass1961 after310 this,3651 that Ben-hadad1130 king4428 of Syria758 gathered6908 853 all3605 his host,4264 and went up,5927 and besieged6696 5921 Samaria.8111

25  And there was1961 a great1419 famine7458 in Samaria:8111 and, behold,2009 they besieged6696 5921 it, until5704 an ass's2543 head7218 was1961 sold for fourscore8084 pieces of silver,3701 and the fourth part7255 of a cab6894 of dove's dung1686 for five2568 pieces of silver.3701

26  And as the king4428 of Israel3478 was1961 passing by5674 upon5921 the wall,2346 there cried6817 a woman802 unto413 him, saying,559 Help,3467 my lord,113 O king.4428

27  And he said,559 If the LORD3068 do not408 help3467 thee, whence4480 370 shall I help3467 thee? out of4480 the barnfloor,1637 or176 out of4480 the winepress?3342

28  And the king4428 said559 unto her, What4100 aileth thee? And she answered,559 This2063 woman802 said559 unto413 me, Give5414 853 thy son,1121 that we may eat398 him today,3117 and we will eat398 my son1121 tomorrow.4279

29  So we boiled1310 853 my son,1121 and did eat398 him: and I said559 unto413 her on the next312 day,3117 Give5414 853 thy son,1121 that we may eat398 him: and she hath hid2244 853 her son.1121

30  And it came to pass,1961 when the king4428 heard8085 853 the words1697 of the woman,802 that he rent7167 853 his clothes;899 and he1931 passed by5674 upon5921 the wall,2346 and the people5971 looked,7200 and, behold,2009 he had sackcloth8242 within4480 1004 upon5921 his flesh.1320

31  Then he said,559 God430 do6213 so3541 and more3254 also3541 to me, if518 the head7218 of Elisha477 the son1121 of Shaphat8202 shall stand5975 on5921 him this day.3117

32  But Elisha477 sat3427 in his house,1004 and the elders2205 sat3427 with854 him; and the king sent7971 a man376 from before4480 6440 him: but ere2962 the messenger4397 came935 to413 him, he1931 said559 to413 the elders,2205 See7200 ye how3588 this2088 son1121 of a murderer7523 hath sent7971 to take away5493 853 mine head?7218 look,7200 when the messenger4397 cometh,935 shut5462 the door,1817 and hold him fast3905 853 at the door:1817 is not3808 the sound6963 of his master's113 feet7272 behind310 him?

33  And while he yet5750 talked1696 with5973 them, behold,2009 the messenger4397 came down3381 unto413 him: and he said,559 Behold,2009 this2063 evil7451 is of4480 854 the LORD;3068 what4100 should I wait3176 for the LORD3068 any longer?5750


2 Kings 7: 1-20


1  Then Elisha477 said,559 Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD;3068 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Tomorrow4279 about this time6256 shall a measure5429 of fine flour5560 be sold for a shekel,8255 and two measures5429 of barley8184 for a shekel,8255 in the gate8179 of Samaria.8111

2  Then a lord7991 on5921 whose834 hand3027 the king4428 leaned8172 answered6030 853 the man376 of God,430 and said,559 Behold,2009 if the LORD3068 would make6213 windows699 in heaven,8064 might this2088 thing1697 be?1961 And he said,559 Behold,2009 thou shalt see7200 it with thine eyes,5869 but shalt not3808 eat398 thereof.4480 8033

3  And there were1961 four702 leprous6879 men376 at the entering in6607 of the gate:8179 and they said559 one376 to413 another,7453 Why4100 sit3427 we587 here6311 until5704 we die?4191

4  If518 we say,559 We will enter935 into the city,5892 then the famine7458 is in the city,5892 and we shall die4191 there:8033 and if518 we sit3427 still here,6311 we die4191 also. Now6258 therefore come,1980 and let us fall5307 unto413 the host4264 of the Syrians:758 if518 they save us alive,2421 we shall live;2421 and if518 they kill4191 us, we shall but die.4191

5  And they rose up6965 in the twilight,5399 to go935 unto413 the camp4264 of the Syrians:758 and when they were come935 to5704 the uttermost part7097 of the camp4264 of Syria,758 behold,2009 there was no369 man376 there.8033

6  For the Lord136 had made 853 the host4264 of the Syrians758 to hear8085 a noise6963 of chariots,7393 and a noise6963 of horses,5483 even the noise6963 of a great1419 host:2428 and they said559 one376 to413 another,251 Lo,2009 the king4428 of Israel3478 hath hired7936 against5921 us 853 the kings4428 of the Hittites,2850 and the kings4428 of the Egyptians,4714 to come935 upon5921 us.

7  Wherefore they arose6965 and fled5127 in the twilight,5399 and left5800 853 their tents,168 and their horses,5483 and their asses,2543 even the camp4264 as834 it1931 was, and fled5127 for413 their life.5315

8  And when these428 lepers6879 came935 to5704 the uttermost part7097 of the camp,4264 they went935 into413 one259 tent,168 and did eat398 and drink,8354 and carried5375 thence4480 8033 silver,3701 and gold,2091 and raiment,899 and went1980 and hid2934 it; and came again,7725 and entered935 into413 another312 tent,168 and carried5375 thence4480 8033 also, and went1980 and hid2934 it.

9  Then they said559 one376 to413 another,7453 We587 do6213 not3808 well:3651 this2088 day3117 is a day3117 of good tidings,1309 and we587 hold our peace:2814 if we tarry2442 till5704 the morning1242 light,216 some mischief5771 will come upon4672 us: now6258 therefore come,1980 that we may go935 and tell5046 the king's4428 household.1004

10  So they came935 and called7121 unto413 the porter7778 of the city:5892 and they told5046 them, saying,559 We came935 to413 the camp4264 of the Syrians,758 and, behold,2009 there was no369 man376 there,8033 neither voice6963 of man,120 but3588 518 horses5483 tied,631 and asses2543 tied,631 and the tents168 as834 they1992 were.

11  And he called7121 the porters;7778 and they told5046 it to the king's4428 house1004 within.6441

12  And the king4428 arose6965 in the night,3915 and said559 unto413 his servants,5650 I will now4994 show5046 you 853 what834 the Syrians758 have done6213 to us. They know3045 that3588 we587 be hungry;7457 therefore are they gone out3318 of4480 the camp4264 to hide themselves2247 in the field,7704 saying,559 When3588 they come out3318 of4480 the city,5892 we shall catch8610 them alive,2416 and get935 into413 the city.5892

13  And one259 of his servants4480 5650 answered6030 and said,559 Let some take,3947 I pray thee,4994 five2568 of4480 the horses5483 that remain,7604 which834 are left7604 in the city, (behold,2009 they are as all3605 the multitude1995 of Israel3478 that834 are left7604 in it: behold,2009 I say, they are even as all3605 the multitude1995 of the Israelites3478 that834 are consumed:)8552 and let us send7971 and see.7200

14  They took3947 therefore two8147 chariot7393 horses;5483 and the king4428 sent7971 after310 the host4264 of the Syrians,758 saying,559 Go1980 and see.7200

15  And they went1980 after310 them unto5704 Jordan:3383 and, lo,2009 all3605 the way1870 was full4392 of garments899 and vessels,3627 which834 the Syrians758 had cast away7993 in their haste.2648 And the messengers4397 returned,7725 and told5046 the king.4428

16  And the people5971 went out,3318 and spoiled962 853 the tents4264 of the Syrians.758 So a measure5429 of fine flour5560 was1961 sold for a shekel,8255 and two measures5429 of barley8184 for a shekel,8255 according to the word1697 of the LORD.3068

17  And the king4428 appointed6485 853 the lord7991 on5921 whose834 hand3027 he leaned8172 to have the charge of5921 the gate:8179 and the people5971 trod upon7429 him in the gate,8179 and he died,4191 as834 the man376 of God430 had said,1696 who834 spoke1696 when the king4428 came down3381 to413 him.

18  And it came to pass1961 as the man376 of God430 had spoken1696 to413 the king,4428 saying,559 Two measures5429 of barley8184 for a shekel,8255 and a measure5429 of fine flour5560 for a shekel,8255 shall be1961 tomorrow4279 about this time6256 in the gate8179 of Samaria:8111

19  And that lord7991 answered6030 853 the man376 of God,430 and said,559 Now, behold,2009 if the LORD3068 should make6213 windows699 in heaven,8064 might such2088 a thing1697 be?1961 And he said,559 Behold,2009 thou shalt see7200 it with thine eyes,5869 but shalt not3808 eat398 thereof.4480 8033

20  And so3651 it fell out1961 unto him: for the people5971 trod upon7429 him in the gate,8179 and he died.4191


2 Kings 8: 1-29


1  Then spoke1696 Elisha477 unto413 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 saying,559 Arise,6965 and go1980 thou859 and thine household,1004 and sojourn1481 wheresoever834 thou canst sojourn:1481 for3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 for a famine;7458 and it shall also1571 come935 upon413 the land776 seven7651 years.8141

2  And the woman802 arose,6965 and did6213 after the saying1697 of the man376 of God:430 and she1931 went1980 with her household,1004 and sojourned1481 in the land776 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 years.8141

3  And it came to pass1961 at the seven7651 years'8141 end,4480 7097 that the woman802 returned7725 out of the land4480 776 of the Philistines:6430 and she went forth3318 to cry6817 unto413 the king4428 for413 her house1004 and for413 her land.7704

4  And the king4428 talked1696 with413 Gehazi1522 the servant5288 of the man376 of God,430 saying,559 Tell5608 me, I pray thee,4994 853 all3605 the great things1419 that834 Elisha477 hath done.6213

5  And it came to pass,1961 as he1931 was telling5608 the king4428 853 how834 he had restored a dead body to life,2421 853 4191 that, behold,2009 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 cried6817 to413 the king4428 for5921 her house1004 and for5921 her land.7704 And Gehazi1522 said,559 My lord,113 O king,4428 this2063 is the woman,802 and this2088 is her son,1121 whom834 Elisha477 restored to life.2421

6  And when the king4428 asked7592 the woman,802 she told5608 him. So the king4428 appointed5414 unto her a certain259 officer,5631 saying,559 Restore7725 853 all3605 that834 was hers, and all3605 the fruits8393 of the field7704 since the day4480 3117 that she left5800 853 the land,776 even until5704 now.6258

7  And Elisha477 came935 to Damascus;1834 and Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 was sick;2470 and it was told5046 him, saying,559 The man376 of God430 is come935 hither.5704 2008

8  And the king4428 said559 unto413 Hazael,2371 Take3947 a present4503 in thine hand,3027 and go,1980 meet7122 the man376 of God,430 and inquire1875 853 of the LORD3068 by4480 854 him, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

9  So Hazael2371 went1980 to meet7122 him, and took3947 a present4503 with3027 him, even of every3605 good thing2898 of Damascus,1834 forty705 camels'1581 burden,4853 and came935 and stood5975 before6440 him, and said,559 Thy son1121 Ben-hadad1130 king4428 of Syria758 hath sent7971 me to413 thee, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

10  And Elisha477 said559 unto413 him, Go,1980 say559 unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover:2421 2421 howbeit the LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that3588 he shall surely die.4191 4191

11  And he settled5975 853 his countenance6440 steadfastly,7760 until5704 he was ashamed:954 and the man376 of God430 wept.1058

12  And Hazael2371 said,559 Why4069 weepeth1058 my lord?113 And he answered,559 Because3588 I know3045 853 the evil7451 that834 thou wilt do6213 unto the children1121 of Israel:3478 their strongholds4013 wilt thou set7971 on fire,784 and their young men970 wilt thou slay2026 with the sword,2719 and wilt dash7376 their children,5768 and rip up1234 their women with child.2030

13  And Hazael2371 said,559 But3588 what,4100 is thy servant5650 a dog,3611 that3588 he should do6213 this2088 great1419 thing?1697 And Elisha477 answered,559 The LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that thou shalt be king4428 over5921 Syria.758

14  So he departed1980 from4480 854 Elisha,477 and came935 to413 his master;113 who said559 to him, What4100 said559 Elisha477 to thee? And he answered,559 He told559 me that thou shouldest surely recover.2421 2421

15  And it came to pass1961 on the morrow,4480 4283 that he took3947 a thick cloth,4346 and dipped2881 it in water,4325 and spread6566 it on5921 his face,6440 so that he died:4191 and Hazael2371 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

16  And in the fifth2568 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 Jehoshaphat3092 being then king4428 of Judah,3063 Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

17  Thirty7970 and two8147 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 eight8083 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389

18  And he walked1980 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 as834 did6213 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for3588 the daughter1323 of Ahab256 was1961 his wife:802 and he did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

19  Yet the LORD3068 would14 not3808 destroy7843 853 Judah3063 for David1732 his servant's5650 sake,4616 as834 he promised559 him to give5414 him always3605 3117 a light,5216 and to his children.1121

20  In his days3117 Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah,3063 and made4427 a king4428 over5921 themselves.

21  So Joram3141 went over5674 to Zair,6811 and all3605 the chariots7393 with5973 him: and he1931 rose6965 by night,3915 and smote5221 853 the Edomites123 which compassed him about,5437 413 and the captains8269 of the chariots:7393 and the people5971 fled5127 into their tents.168

22  Yet Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah3063 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 Then227 Libnah3841 revolted6586 at the same1931 time.6256

23  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Joram,3141 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

24  And Joram3141 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and was buried6912 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David:1732 and Ahaziah274 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

25  In the twelfth8147 6240 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 king4428 of Israel3478 did Ahaziah274 the son1121 of Jehoram3088 king4428 of Judah3063 begin to reign.4427

26  Two8147 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 was Ahaziah274 when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 one259 year8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Athaliah,6271 the daughter1323 of Omri6018 king4428 of Israel.3478

27  And he walked1980 in the way1870 of the house1004 of Ahab,256 and did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 as did the house1004 of Ahab:256 for3588 he1931 was the son-in-law2860 of the house1004 of Ahab.256

28  And he went1980 with854 Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 to the war4421 against5973 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 in Ramoth-gilead;7433 and the Syrians761 wounded5221 853 Joram.3141

29  And king4428 Joram3141 went back7725 to be healed7495 in Jezreel3157 of4480 the wounds4347 which834 the Syrians761 had given5221 him at Ramah,7414 when he fought3898 against854 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria.758 And Ahaziah274 the son1121 of Jehoram3088 king4428 of Judah3063 went down3381 to see7200 853 Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 in Jezreel,3157 because3588 he1931 was sick.2470


2 Kings 9: 1-37


1  And Elisha477 the prophet5030 called7121 one259 of the children4480 1121 of the prophets,5030 and said559 unto him, Gird up2296 thy loins,4975 and take3947 this2088 box6378 of oil8081 in thine hand,3027 and go1980 to Ramoth-gilead:7433

2  And when thou comest935 thither,8033 look out7200 there8033 Jehu3058 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 the son1121 of Nimshi,5250 and go in,935 and make him arise up6965 from among4480 8432 his brethren,251 and carry935 him to an inner2315 chamber;2315

3  Then take3947 the box6378 of oil,8081 and pour3332 it on5921 his head,7218 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 I have anointed4886 thee king4428 over413 Israel.3478 Then open6605 the door,1817 and flee,5127 and tarry2442 not.3808

4  So the young man,5288 even the young man5288 the prophet,5030 went1980 to Ramoth-gilead.7433

5  And when he came,935 behold,2009 the captains8269 of the host2428 were sitting;3427 and he said,559 I have an errand1697 to413 thee, O captain.8269 And Jehu3058 said,559 Unto413 which4310 of all4480 3605 us? And he said,559 To413 thee, O captain.8269

6  And he arose,6965 and went935 into the house;1004 and he poured3332 the oil8081 on413 his head,7218 and said559 unto him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 I have anointed4886 thee king4428 over413 the people5971 of the LORD,3068 even over413 Israel.3478

7  And thou shalt smite5221 853 the house1004 of Ahab256 thy master,113 that I may avenge5358 the blood1818 of my servants5650 the prophets,5030 and the blood1818 of all3605 the servants5650 of the LORD,3068 at the hand4480 3027 of Jezebel.348

8  For the whole3605 house1004 of Ahab256 shall perish:6 and I will cut off3772 from Ahab256 him that pisseth8366 against the wall,7023 and him that is shut up6113 and left5800 in Israel:3478

9  And I will make5414 853 the house1004 of Ahab256 like the house1004 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 and like the house1004 of Baasha1201 the son1121 of Ahijah:281

10  And the dogs3611 shall eat398 Jezebel348 in the portion2506 of Jezreel,3157 and there shall be none369 to bury6912 her. And he opened6605 the door,1817 and fled.5127

11  Then Jehu3058 came forth3318 to413 the servants5650 of his lord:113 and one said559 unto him, Is all well?7965 wherefore4069 came935 this2088 mad7696 fellow to413 thee? And he said559 unto413 them, Ye859 know3045 the man,376 and 853 his communication.7879

12  And they said,559 It is false;8267 tell5046 us now.4994 And he said,559 Thus2063 and thus2063 spoke559 he to413 me, saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 I have anointed4886 thee king4428 over413 Israel.3478

13  Then they hasted,4116 and took3947 every man376 his garment,899 and put7760 it under8478 him on413 the top1634 of the stairs,4609 and blew8628 with trumpets,7782 saying,559 Jehu3058 is king.4427

14  So Jehu3058 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 the son1121 of Nimshi5250 conspired7194 against413 Joram.3141 (Now Joram3141 had1961 kept8104 Ramoth-gilead,7433 he1931 and all3605 Israel,3478 because4480 6440 of Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria.758

15  But king4428 Joram3088 was returned7725 to be healed7495 in Jezreel3157 of4480 the wounds4347 which834 the Syrians761 had given5221 him, when he fought3898 with854 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria.)758 And Jehu3058 said,559 If518 it be3426 your minds,5315 then let none408 go forth3318 nor escape6412 out of4480 the city5892 to go1980 to tell5046 it in Jezreel.3157

16  So Jehu3058 rode in a chariot,7392 and went1980 to Jezreel;3157 for3588 Joram3141 lay7901 there.8033 And Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah3063 was come down3381 to see7200 853 Joram.3141

17  And there stood5975 a watchman6822 on5921 the tower4026 in Jezreel,3157 and he spied7200 853 the company8229 of Jehu3058 as he came,935 and said,559 I589 see7200 a company.8229 And Joram3088 said,559 Take3947 a horseman,7395 and send7971 to meet7122 them, and let him say,559 Is it peace?7965

18  So there went1980 one on horseback7392 5483 to meet7122 him, and said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the king,4428 Is it peace?7965 And Jehu3058 said,559 What4100 hast thou to do with peace?7965 turn5437 thee behind413 310 me. And the watchman6822 told,5046 saying,559 The messenger4397 came935 to5704 them,1992 but he cometh not again.7725 3808

19  Then he sent out7971 a second8145 on horseback,7392 5483 which came935 to413 them, and said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the king,4428 Is it peace?7965 And Jehu3058 answered,559 What4100 hast thou to do with peace?7965 turn5437 thee behind413 310 me.

20  And the watchman6822 told,5046 saying,559 He came935 even5704 unto413 them, and cometh not again:7725 3808 and the driving4491 is like the driving4491 of Jehu3058 the son1121 of Nimshi;5250 for3588 he driveth5090 furiously.7697

21  And Joram3088 said,559 Make ready.631 And his chariot7393 was made ready.631 And Joram3088 king4428 of Israel3478 and Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah3063 went out,3318 each376 in his chariot,7393 and they went out3318 against7122 Jehu,3058 and met4672 him in the portion2513 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite.3158

22  And it came to pass,1961 when Joram3088 saw7200 853 Jehu,3058 that he said,559 Is it peace,7965 Jehu?3058 And he answered,559 What4100 peace,7965 so long as5704 the whoredoms2183 of thy mother517 Jezebel348 and her witchcrafts3785 are so many?7227

23  And Joram3088 turned2015 his hands,3027 and fled,5127 and said559 to413 Ahaziah,274 There is treachery,4820 O Ahaziah.274

24  And Jehu3058 drew a bow7198 with his full4390 strength,3027 and smote5221 853 Jehoram3088 between996 his arms,2220 and the arrow2678 went out3318 at his heart,4480 3820 and he sunk down3766 in his chariot.7393

25  Then said559 Jehu to413 Bidkar920 his captain,7991 Take up,5375 and cast7993 him in the portion2513 of the field7704 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite:3158 for3588 remember2142 how that, when I589 and thou859 853 rode7392 together6776 after310 Ahab256 his father,1 the LORD3068 laid5375 853 this2088 burden4853 upon5921 him;

26  Surely518 3808 I have seen7200 yesterday570 853 the blood1818 of Naboth,5022 and the blood1818 of his sons,1121 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will requite7999 thee in this2063 plat,2513 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Now6258 therefore take5375 and cast7993 him into the plat2513 of ground, according to the word1697 of the LORD.3068

27  But when Ahaziah274 the king4428 of Judah3063 saw7200 this, he fled5127 by the way1870 of the garden1588 house.1004 And Jehu3058 followed7291 after310 him, and said,559 Smite5221 him also1571 in413 the chariot.4818 And they did so at the going up4608 to Gur,1483 which834 is by854 Ibleam.2991 And he fled5127 to Megiddo,4023 and died4191 there.8033

28  And his servants5650 carried him in a chariot7392 853 to Jerusalem,3389 and buried6912 him in his sepulcher6900 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David.1732

29  And in the eleventh259 6240 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 began Ahaziah274 to reign4427 over5921 Judah.3063

30  And when Jehu3058 was come935 to Jezreel,3157 Jezebel348 heard8085 of it; and she painted7760 6320 her face,5869 and tired3190 853 her head,7218 and looked out8259 at1157 a window.2474

31  And as Jehu3058 entered in935 at the gate,8179 she said,559 Had Zimri2174 peace,7965 who slew2026 his master?113

32  And he lifted up5375 his face6440 to413 the window,2474 and said,559 Who4310 is on my side?854 who?4310 And there looked out8259 to413 him two8147 or three7969 eunuchs.5631

33  And he said,559 Throw her down.8058 So they threw her down:8058 and some of her blood4480 1818 was sprinkled5137 on413 the wall,7023 and on413 the horses:5483 and he trod her under foot.7429

34  And when he was come in,935 he did eat398 and drink,8354 and said,559 Go, see6485 now4994 853 this2063 cursed779 woman, and bury6912 her: for3588 she1931 is a king's4428 daughter.1323

35  And they went1980 to bury6912 her: but they found4672 no more3808 of her than3588 518 the skull,1538 and the feet,7272 and the palms3709 of her hands.3027

36  Wherefore they came again,7725 and told5046 him. And he said,559 This1931 is the word1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he spoke1696 by3027 his servant5650 Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 saying,559 In the portion2506 of Jezreel3157 shall dogs3611 eat398 853 the flesh1320 of Jezebel:348

37  And the carcass5038 of Jezebel348 shall be1961 as dung1828 upon5921 the face6440 of the field7704 in the portion2506 of Jezreel;3157 so that834 they shall not3808 say,559 This2063 is Jezebel.348


2 Kings 10: 1-36


1  And Ahab256 had seventy7657 sons1121 in Samaria.8111 And Jehu3058 wrote3789 letters,5612 and sent7971 to Samaria,8111 unto413 the rulers8269 of Jezreel,3157 to the elders,2205 and to413 them that brought up539 Ahab's256 children, saying,559

2  Now6258 as soon as this2088 letter5612 cometh935 to413 you, seeing your master's113 sons1121 are with854 you, and there are with854 you chariots7393 and horses,5483 a fenced4013 city5892 also, and armor;5402

3  Look even out7200 the best2896 and meetest3477 of your master's sons,4480 1121 113 and set7760 him on5921 his father's1 throne,3678 and fight3898 for5921 your master's113 house.1004

4  But they were exceedingly3966 3966 afraid,3372 and said,559 Behold,2009 two8147 kings4428 stood5975 not3808 before6440 him: how349 then shall we587 stand?5975

5  And he that834 was over5921 the house,1004 and he that834 was over5921 the city,5892 the elders2205 also, and the bringers up539 of the children, sent7971 to413 Jehu,3058 saying,559 We587 are thy servants,5650 and will do6213 all3605 that834 thou shalt bid559 413 us; we will not3808 make any king:4427 376 do6213 thou that which is good2896 in thine eyes.5869

6  Then he wrote3789 a letter5612 the second time8145 to413 them, saying,559 If518 ye859 be mine, and if ye859 will hearken8085 unto my voice,6963 take3947 ye 853 the heads7218 of the men376 your master's113 sons,1121 and come935 to413 me to Jezreel3157 by tomorrow4279 this time.6256 Now the king's4428 sons,1121 being seventy7657 persons,376 were with854 the great men1419 of the city,5892 which brought them up.1431 853

7  And it came to pass,1961 when the letter5612 came935 to413 them, that they took3947 853 the king's4428 sons,1121 and slew7819 seventy7657 persons,376 and put7760 853 their heads7218 in baskets,1731 and sent7971 413 him them to Jezreel.3157

8  And there came935 a messenger,4397 and told5046 him, saying,559 They have brought935 the heads7218 of the king's4428 sons.1121 And he said,559 Lay7760 ye them in two8147 heaps6652 at the entering in6607 of the gate8179 until5704 the morning.1242

9  And it came to pass1961 in the morning,1242 that he went out,3318 and stood,5975 and said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971 Ye859 be righteous:6662 behold,2009 I589 conspired7194 against5921 my master,113 and slew2026 him: but who4310 slew5221 853 all3605 these?428

10  Know3045 now645 that3588 there shall fall5307 unto the earth776 nothing3808 of the word4480 1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 concerning5921 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for the LORD3068 hath done6213 853 that which834 he spoke1696 by3027 his servant5650 Elijah.452

11  So Jehu3058 slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 of the house1004 of Ahab256 in Jezreel,3157 and all3605 his great men,1419 and his kinsfolk,3045 and his priests,3548 until5704 he left7604 him none1115 remaining.8300

12  And he arose6965 and departed,935 and came1980 to Samaria.8111 And as he1931 was at the shearing house1044 in the way,1870

13  Jehu3058 met4672 with 853 the brethren251 of Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah,3063 and said,559 Who4310 are ye?859 And they answered,559 We587 are the brethren251 of Ahaziah;274 and we go down3381 to salute7965 the children1121 of the king4428 and the children1121 of the queen.1377

14  And he said,559 Take8610 them alive.2416 And they took8610 them alive,2416 and slew7819 them at413 the pit953 of the shearing house,1044 even two8147 and forty705 men;376 neither3808 left7604 he any376 of4480 them.

15  And when he was departed1980 thence,4480 8033 he lighted on4672 853 Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 coming to meet7122 him: and he saluted1288 him, and said559 to413 him, Is3426 853 thine heart3824 right,3477 as834 my heart3824 is with5973 thy heart?3824 And Jehonadab3082 answered,559 It is.3426 If it be,3426 give5414 me 853 thine hand.3027 And he gave5414 him his hand;3027 and he took him up5927 to413 him into413 the chariot.4818

16  And he said,559 Come1980 with854 me, and see7200 my zeal7068 for the LORD.3068 So they made him ride7392 in his chariot.7393

17  And when he came935 to Samaria,8111 he slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 unto Ahab256 in Samaria,8111 till5704 he had destroyed8045 him, according to the saying1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he spoke1696 to413 Elijah.452

18  And Jehu3058 gathered6908 853 all3605 the people5971 together, and said559 unto413 them, Ahab256 served5647 853 Baal1168 a little;4592 but Jehu3058 shall serve5647 him much.7235

19  Now6258 therefore call7121 unto413 me all3605 the prophets5030 of Baal,1168 all3605 his servants,5647 and all3605 his priests;3548 let none376 408 be wanting:6485 for3588 I have a great1419 sacrifice2077 to do to Baal;1168 whosoever3605 834 shall be wanting,6485 he shall not3808 live.2421 But Jehu3058 did6213 it in subtlety,6122 to the intent4616 that he might destroy6 853 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168

20  And Jehu3058 said,559 Proclaim6942 a solemn assembly6116 for Baal.1168 And they proclaimed7121 it.

21  And Jehu3058 sent7971 through all3605 Israel:3478 and all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 came,935 so that there was not3808 a man376 left7604 that834 came935 not.3808 And they came935 into the house1004 of Baal;1168 and the house1004 of Baal1168 was full4390 from one end6310 to another.6310

22  And he said559 unto him that834 was over5921 the vestry,4458 Bring forth3318 vestments3830 for all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168 And he brought them forth3318 vestments.4403

23  And Jehu3058 went,935 and Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab,7394 into the house1004 of Baal,1168 and said559 unto the worshipers5647 of Baal,1168 Search,2664 and look7200 that6435 there be3426 here6311 with5973 you none of the servants4480 5650 of the LORD,3068 but3588 518 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 only.905

24  And when they went in935 to offer6213 sacrifices2077 and burnt offerings,5930 Jehu3058 appointed7760 fourscore8084 men376 without,2351 and said,559 If any376 of4480 the men376 whom834 I589 have brought935 into5921 your hands3027 escape,4422 he that letteth him go, his life5315 shall be for8478 the life5315 of him.

25  And it came to pass,1961 as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering6213 the burnt offering,5930 that Jehu3058 said559 to the guard7323 and to the captains,7991 Go in,935 and slay5221 them; let none376 408 come forth.3318 And they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 and the guard7323 and the captains7991 cast them out,7993 and went1980 to5704 the city5892 of the house1004 of Baal.1168

26  And they brought forth3318 853 the images4676 out of the house1004 of Baal,1168 and burned8313 them.

27  And they broke down5422 853 the image4676 of Baal,1168 and broke down5422 853 the house1004 of Baal,1168 and made7760 it a draught house4163 unto5704 this day.3117

28  Thus Jehu3058 destroyed8045 853 Baal1168 out of Israel.4480 3478

29  Howbeit7535 from the sins2399 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin,2398 Jehu3058 departed5493 not3808 from after4480 310 them, to wit, the golden2091 calves5695 that834 were in Bethel,1008 and that834 were in Dan.1835

30  And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Jehu,3058 Because3282 834 thou hast done well2895 in executing6213 that which is right3477 in mine eyes,5869 and hast done6213 unto the house1004 of Ahab256 according to all3605 that834 was in mine heart,3824 thy children1121 of the fourth7243 generation shall sit3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel.3478

31  But Jehu3058 took no heed8104 3808 to walk1980 in the law8451 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 with all3605 his heart:3824 for he departed5493 not3808 from4480 5921 the sins2403 of Jeroboam,3379 which834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

32  In those1992 days3117 the LORD3068 began2490 to cut Israel short:7096 3478 and Hazael2371 smote5221 them in all3605 the coasts1366 of Israel;3478

33  From4480 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 8121 853 all3605 the land776 of Gilead,1568 the Gadites,1425 and the Reubenites,7206 and the Manassites,4520 from Aroer,4480 6177 which834 is by5921 the river5158 Arnon,769 even Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316

34  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehu,3058 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and all3605 his might,1369 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

35  And Jehu3058 slept7901 with5973 his fathers:1 and they buried6912 him in Samaria.8111 And Jehoahaz3059 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

36  And the time3117 that834 Jehu3058 reigned4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria8111 was twenty6242 and eight8083 years.8141


2 Kings 11: 1-21


1  And when Athaliah6271 the mother517 of Ahaziah274 saw7200 that3588 her son1121 was dead,4191 she arose6965 and destroyed6 853 all3605 the seed2233 royal.4467

2  But Jehosheba,3089 the daughter1323 of king4428 Joram,3141 sister269 of Ahaziah,274 took3947 853 Joash3101 the son1121 of Ahaziah,274 and stole1589 him from among4480 8432 the king's4428 sons1121 which were slain;4191 and they hid5641 him, even him and his nurse,3243 in the bedchamber2315 4296 from4480 6440 Athaliah,6271 so that he was not3808 slain.4191

3  And he was1961 with her854 hid2244 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 six8337 years.8141 And Athaliah6271 did reign4427 over5921 the land.776

4  And the seventh7637 year8141 Jehoiada3077 sent7971 and fetched3947 853 the rulers8269 over hundreds,3967 with the captains3746 and the guard,7323 and brought935 them to413 him into the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and made3772 a covenant1285 with them, and took an oath7650 of them in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and showed7200 them 853 the king's4428 son.1121

5  And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 This2088 is the thing1697 that834 ye shall do;6213 A third part7992 of4480 you that enter935 in on the sabbath7676 shall even be keepers8104 of the watch4931 of the king's4428 house;1004

6  And a third part7992 shall be at the gate8179 of Sur;5495 and a third part7992 at the gate8179 behind310 the guard:7323 so shall ye keep8104 853 the watch4931 of the house,1004 that it be not broken down.4535

7  And two8147 parts3027 of all3605 you that go forth3318 on the sabbath,7676 even they shall keep8104 853 the watch4931 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 about413 the king.4428

8  And ye shall compass5362 5921 the king4428 round about,5439 every man376 with his weapons3627 in his hand:3027 and he that cometh935 within413 the ranges,7713 let him be slain:4191 and be1961 ye with854 the king4428 as he goeth out3318 and as he cometh in.935

9  And the captains8269 over the hundreds3967 did6213 according to all3605 things that834 Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 commanded:6680 and they took3947 every man376 853 his men376 that were to come in935 on the sabbath,7676 with5973 them that should go out3318 on the sabbath,7676 and came935 to413 Jehoiada3077 the priest.3548

10  And to the captains8269 over hundreds3967 did the priest3548 give5414 853 king4428 David's1732 spears2595 and shields,7982 that834 were in the temple1004 of the LORD.3068

11  And the guard7323 stood,5975 every man376 with his weapons3627 in his hand,3027 round about5439 5921 the king,4428 from the right corner4480 3802 3233 of the temple1004 to5704 the left8042 corner3802 of the temple,1004 along by the altar4196 and the temple.1004

12  And he brought forth3318 853 the king's4428 son,1121 and put5414 853 the crown5145 upon5921 him, and gave him the testimony;5715 and they made him king,4427 853 and anointed4886 him; and they clapped5221 their hands,3709 and said,559 God save2421 the king.4428

13  And when Athaliah6271 heard8085 853 the noise6963 of the guard7323 and of the people,5971 she came935 to413 the people5971 into the temple1004 of the LORD.3068

14  And when she looked,7200 behold,2009 the king4428 stood5975 by5921 a pillar,5982 as the manner4941 was, and the princes8269 and the trumpeters2689 by413 the king,4428 and all3605 the people5971 of the land776 rejoiced,8056 and blew8628 with trumpets:2689 and Athaliah6271 rent7167 853 her clothes,899 and cried,7121 Treason,7195 Treason.7195

15  But Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 commanded6680 853 the captains8269 of the hundreds,3967 the officers6485 of the host,2428 and said559 unto413 them, Have her forth3318 853 without413 4480 1004 the ranges:7713 and him that followeth935 310 her kill4191 with the sword.2719 For3588 the priest3548 had said,559 Let her not408 be slain4191 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

16  And they laid7760 hands3027 on her; and she went935 by the way1870 by the which the horses5483 came3996 into the king's4428 house:1004 and there8033 was she slain.4191

17  And Jehoiada3077 made3772 853 a covenant1285 between996 the LORD3068 and the king4428 and the people,5971 that they should be1961 the LORD's3068 people;5971 between996 the king4428 also and the people.5971

18  And all3605 the people5971 of the land776 went935 into the house1004 of Baal,1168 and broke it down;5422 his altars4196 and his images6754 broke they in pieces7665 thoroughly,3190 and slew2026 853 Mattan4977 the priest3548 of Baal1168 before6440 the altars.4196 And the priest3548 appointed7760 officers6486 over5921 the house1004 of the LORD.3068

19  And he took3947 853 the rulers8269 over hundreds,3967 and the captains,3746 and the guard,7323 and all3605 the people5971 of the land;776 and they brought down3381 853 the king4428 from the house4480 1004 of the LORD,3068 and came935 by the way1870 of the gate8179 of the guard7323 to the king's4428 house.1004 And he sat3427 on5921 the throne3678 of the kings.4428

20  And all3605 the people5971 of the land776 rejoiced,8055 and the city5892 was in quiet:8252 and they slew4191 Athaliah6271 with the sword2719 beside the king's4428 house.1004

21  Seven7651 years8141 old1121 was Jehoash3060 when he began to reign.4427


2 Kings 12: 1-21


1  In the seventh7651 year8141 of Jehu3058 Jehoash3060 began to reign;4427 and forty705 years8141 reigned4427 he in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Zibiah6645 of Beer-sheba.4480 884

2  And Jehoash3060 did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 all3605 his days3117 wherein834 Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 instructed3384 him.

3  But7535 the high places1116 were not3808 taken away:5493 the people5971 still5750 sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 in the high places.1116

4  And Jehoash3060 said559 to413 the priests,3548 All3605 the money3701 of the dedicated things6944 that834 is brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD,3068 even the money3701 of every one that passeth5674 the account, the money3701 that every man5315 is set at,6187 and all3605 the money3701 that834 cometh5927 into5921 any man's376 heart3820 to bring935 into the house1004 of the LORD,3068

5  Let the priests3548 take3947 it to them, every man376 of4480 854 his acquaintance:4378 and let them1992 repair2388 853 the breaches919 of the house,1004 wheresoever3605 834 8033 any breach919 shall be found.4672

6  But it was1961 so, that in the three7969 and twentieth6242 year8141 of king4428 Jehoash3060 the priests3548 had not3808 repaired2388 853 the breaches919 of the house.1004

7  Then king4428 Jehoash3060 called7121 for Jehoiada3077 the priest,3548 and the other priests,3548 and said559 unto413 them, Why4069 repair2388 ye not369 853 the breaches919 of the house?1004 now6258 therefore receive3947 no408 more money3701 of4480 854 your acquaintance,4378 but3588 deliver5414 it for the breaches919 of the house.1004

8  And the priests3548 consented225 to receive3947 no1115 more money3701 of4480 854 the people,5971 neither1115 to repair2388 853 the breaches919 of the house.1004

9  But Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 took3947 a259 chest,727 and bored5344 a hole2356 in the lid1817 of it, and set5414 it beside681 the altar,4196 on the right side3225 as one376 cometh935 into the house1004 of the LORD:3068 and the priests3548 that kept8104 the door5592 put5414 therein8033 853 all3605 the money3701 that was brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068

10  And it was1961 so, when they saw7200 that3588 there was much7227 money3701 in the chest,727 that the king's4428 scribe5608 and the high1419 priest3548 came up,5927 and they put up in bags,6696 and told4487 853 the money3701 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

11  And they gave5414 853 the money,3701 being told,8505 into5921 the hands3027 of them that did6213 the work,4399 that had the oversight6485 of the house1004 of the LORD:3068 and they laid it out3318 to the carpenters2796 6086 and builders,1129 that wrought6213 upon the house1004 of the LORD,3068

12  And to masons,1443 and hewers2672 of stone,68 and to buy7069 timber6086 and hewed4274 stone68 to repair2388 853 the breaches919 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and for all3605 that834 was laid out3318 for5921 the house1004 to repair2394 it.

13  Howbeit389 there were not3808 made6213 for the house1004 of the LORD3068 bowls5592 of silver,3701 snuffers,4212 basins,4219 trumpets,2689 any3605 vessels3627 of gold,2091 or vessels3627 of silver,3701 of4480 the money3701 that was brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD:3068

14  But3588 they gave5414 that to the workmen,6213 4399 and repaired2388 therewith 853 the house1004 of the LORD.3068

15  Moreover they reckoned2803 not3808 with854 the men,376 into5921 whose834 hand3027 they delivered5414 853 the money3701 to be bestowed5414 on workmen:6213 4399 for3588 they1992 dealt6213 faithfully.530

16  The trespass817 money3701 and sin2403 money3701 was not3808 brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD:3068 it was1961 the priests.3548

17  Then227 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 went up,5927 and fought3898 against5921 Gath,1661 and took3920 it: and Hazael2371 set7760 his face6440 to go up5927 to5921 Jerusalem.3389

18  And Jehoash3060 king4428 of Judah3063 took3947 853 all3605 the hallowed things6944 that834 Jehoshaphat,3092 and Jehoram,3088 and Ahaziah,274 his fathers,1 kings4428 of Judah,3063 had dedicated,6942 and his own hallowed things,6944 and all3605 the gold2091 that was found4672 in the treasures214 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the king's4428 house,1004 and sent7971 it to Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria:758 and he went away5927 from4480 5921 Jerusalem.3389

19  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Joash,3101 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

20  And his servants5650 arose,6965 and made7194 a conspiracy,7195 and slew5221 853 Joash3101 in the house1004 of Millo,4407 which goeth down3381 to Silla.5538

21  For Jozachar3108 the son1121 of Shimeath,8100 and Jehozabad3075 the son1121 of Shomer,7763 his servants,5650 smote5221 him, and he died;4191 and they buried6912 him with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David:1732 and Amaziah558 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478


2 Kings 13: 1-25


1  In the three7969 and twentieth6242 year8141 of Joash3101 the son1121 of Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah3063 Jehoahaz3059 the son1121 of Jehu3058 began to reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria,8111 and reigned seventeen7651 6240 years.8141

2  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 and followed1980 310 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 which834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin;2398 he departed5493 not3808 therefrom.4480

3  And the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against Israel,3478 and he delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria,758 and into the hand3027 of Ben-hadad1130 the son1121 of Hazael,2371 all3605 their days.3117

4  And Jehoahaz3059 besought2470 853 the LORD,6440 3068 and the LORD3068 hearkened8085 unto413 him: for3588 he saw7200 853 the oppression3906 of Israel,3478 because3588 the king4428 of Syria758 oppressed3905 them.

5  (And the LORD3068 gave5414 Israel3478 a savior,3467 so that they went out3318 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of the Syrians:758 and the children1121 of Israel3478 dwelt3427 in their tents,168 as formerly.8543 8032

6  Nevertheless389 they departed5493 not3808 from the sins4480 2403 of the house1004 of Jeroboam,3379 who834 made 853 Israel3478 sin,2398 but walked1980 therein: and there remained5975 the grove842 also1571 in Samaria.)8111

7  Neither3588 3808 did he leave7604 of the people5971 to Jehoahaz3059 but3588 518 fifty2572 horsemen,6571 and ten6235 chariots,7393 and ten6235 thousand505 footmen;7273 for3588 the king4428 of Syria758 had destroyed6 them, and had made7760 them like the dust6083 by threshing.1758

8  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehoahaz,3059 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and his might,1369 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

9  And Jehoahaz3059 slept7901 with5973 his fathers;1 and they buried6912 him in Samaria:8111 and Joash3101 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

10  In the thirty7970 and seventh7651 year8141 of Joash3101 king4428 of Judah3063 began Jehoash3060 the son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 to reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria,8111 and reigned sixteen8337 6240 years.8141

11  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD;3068 he departed5493 not3808 from all4480 3605 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 sin:2398 but he walked1980 therein.

12  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Joash,3101 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and his might1369 wherewith834 he fought3898 against5973 Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah,3063 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

13  And Joash3101 slept7901 with5973 his fathers;1 and Jeroboam3379 sat3427 upon5921 his throne:3678 and Joash3101 was buried6912 in Samaria8111 with5973 the kings4428 of Israel.3478

14  Now Elisha477 was fallen sick2470 of854 his sickness2483 whereof834 he died.4191 And Joash3101 the king4428 of Israel3478 came down3381 unto413 him, and wept1058 over5921 his face,6440 and said,559 O my father,1 my father,1 the chariot7393 of Israel,3478 and the horsemen6571 thereof.

15  And Elisha477 said559 unto him, Take3947 bow7198 and arrows.2671 And he took3947 unto413 him bow7198 and arrows.2671

16  And he said559 to the king4428 of Israel,3478 Put7392 thine hand3027 upon5921 the bow.7198 And he put7392 his hand3027 upon it: and Elisha477 put7760 his hands3027 upon5921 the king's4428 hands.3027

17  And he said,559 Open6605 the window2474 eastward.6924 And he opened6605 it. Then Elisha477 said,559 Shoot.3384 And he shot.3384 And he said,559 The arrow2671 of the LORD's3068 deliverance,8668 and the arrow2671 of deliverance8668 from Syria:758 for thou shalt smite5221 853 the Syrians758 in Aphek,663 till5704 thou have consumed3615 them.

18  And he said,559 Take3947 the arrows.2671 And he took3947 them. And he said559 unto the king4428 of Israel,3478 Smite5221 upon the ground.776 And he smote5221 thrice,7969 6471 and stayed.5975

19  And the man376 of God430 was wroth7107 with5921 him, and said,559 Thou shouldest have smitten5221 five2568 or176 six8337 times;6471 then227 hadst thou smitten5221 853 Syria758 till5704 thou hadst consumed3615 it: whereas now6258 thou shalt smite5221 853 Syria758 but thrice.7969 6471

20  And Elisha477 died,4191 and they buried6912 him. And the bands1416 of the Moabites4124 invaded935 the land776 at the coming in935 of the year.8141

21  And it came to pass,1961 as they1992 were burying6912 a man,376 that, behold,2009 they spied7200 853 a band1416 of men; and they cast7993 853 the man376 into the sepulcher6913 of Elisha:477 and when the man376 was let down,1980 and touched5060 the bones6106 of Elisha,477 he revived,2421 and stood up6965 on5921 his feet.7272

22  But Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 oppressed3905 853 Israel3478 all3605 the days3117 of Jehoahaz.3059

23  And the LORD3068 was gracious2603 unto them, and had compassion on7355 them, and had respect6437 unto413 them, because4616 of his covenant1285 with854 Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and Jacob,3290 and would14 not3808 destroy7843 them, neither3808 cast7993 he them from4480 5921 his presence6440 as5704 yet.6258

24  So Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 died;4191 and Ben-hadad1130 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

25  And Jehoash3060 the son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 took3947 again7725 out of the hand4480 3027 of Ben-hadad1130 the son1121 of Hazael2371 853 the cities,5892 which834 he had taken3947 out of the hand4480 3027 of Jehoahaz3059 his father1 by war.4421 Three7969 times6471 did Joash3101 beat5221 him, and recovered7725 853 the cities5892 of Israel.3478


2 Kings 14: 1-29


1  In the second8147 year8141 of Joash3101 son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 king4428 of Israel3478 reigned4427 Amaziah558 the son1121 of Joash3101 king4428 of Judah.3063

2  He was1961 twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign,4427 and reigned4427 twenty6242 and nine8672 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Jehoaddan3086 of4480 Jerusalem.3389

3  And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 yet7535 not3808 like David1732 his father:1 he did6213 according to all things3605 as834 Joash3101 his father1 did.6213

4  Howbeit7535 the high places1116 were not3808 taken away:5493 as yet5750 the people5971 did sacrifice2076 and burnt incense6999 on the high places.1116

5  And it came to pass,1961 as soon as834 the kingdom4467 was confirmed2388 in his hand,3027 that he slew5221 853 his servants5650 which had slain5221 853 the king4428 his father.1

6  But the children1121 of the murderers5221 he slew4191 not:3808 according unto that which is written3789 in the book5612 of the law8451 of Moses,4872 wherein834 the LORD3068 commanded,6680 saying,559 The fathers1 shall not3808 be put to death4191 for5921 the children,1121 nor3808 the children1121 be put to death4191 for5921 the fathers;1 but3588 518 every man376 shall be put to death4191 for his own sin.2399

7  He1931 slew5221 853 of 853 Edom123 in the valley1516 of salt4417 ten6235 thousand,505 and took8610 853 Selah5554 by war,4421 and called7121 853 the name8034 of it Joktheel3371 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

8  Then227 Amaziah558 sent7971 messengers4397 to413 Jehoash,3060 the son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 son1121 of Jehu,3058 king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Come,1980 let us look one another7200 in the face.6440

9  And Jehoash3060 the king4428 of Israel3478 sent7971 to413 Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559 The thistle2336 that834 was in Lebanon3844 sent7971 to413 the cedar730 that834 was in Lebanon,3844 saying,559 Give5414 853 thy daughter1323 to my son1121 to wife:802 and there passed by5674 a wild7704 beast2416 that834 was in Lebanon,3844 and trod down7429 853 the thistle.2336

10  Thou hast indeed smitten5221 5221 853 Edom,123 and thine heart3820 hath lifted thee up:5375 glory3513 of this, and tarry3427 at home:1004 for why4100 shouldest thou meddle1624 to thy hurt,7451 that thou shouldest fall,5307 even thou,859 and Judah3063 with5973 thee?

11  But Amaziah558 would not3808 hear.8085 Therefore Jehoash3060 king4428 of Israel3478 went up;5927 and he1931 and Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah3063 looked one another7200 in the face6440 at Beth-shemesh,1053 which834 belongeth to Judah.3063

12  And Judah3063 was put to the worse5062 before6440 Israel;3478 and they fled5127 every man376 to their tents.168

13  And Jehoash3060 king4428 of Israel3478 took8610 Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah,3063 the son1121 of Jehoash3060 the son1121 of Ahaziah,274 at Beth-shemesh,1053 and came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and broke down6555 the wall2346 of Jerusalem3389 from the gate8179 of Ephraim669 unto5704 the corner6438 gate,8179 four702 hundred3967 cubits.520

14  And he took3947 853 all3605 the gold2091 and silver,3701 and all3605 the vessels3627 that were found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house,1004 and hostages,1121 8594 and returned7725 to Samaria.8111

15  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehoash3060 which834 he did,6213 and his might,1369 and how834 he fought3898 with5973 Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah,3063 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

16  And Jehoash3060 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and was buried6912 in Samaria8111 with5973 the kings4428 of Israel;3478 and Jeroboam3379 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

17  And Amaziah558 the son1121 of Joash3101 king4428 of Judah3063 lived2421 after310 the death4194 of Jehoash3060 son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 king4428 of Israel3478 fifteen2568 6240 years.8141

18  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Amaziah,558 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

19  Now they made7194 a conspiracy7195 against5921 him in Jerusalem:3389 and he fled5127 to Lachish;3923 but they sent7971 after310 him to Lachish,3923 and slew4191 him there.8033

20  And they brought5375 him on5921 horses:5483 and he was buried6912 at Jerusalem3389 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David.1732

21  And all3605 the people5971 of Judah3063 took3947 853 Azariah,5838 which1931 was sixteen8337 6240 years8141 old,1121 and made him king4427 853 instead of8478 his father1 Amaziah.558

22  He1931 built1129 853 Elath,359 and restored7725 it to Judah,3063 after that310 the king4428 slept7901 with5973 his fathers.1

23  In the fifteenth2568 6240 year8141 of Amaziah558 the son1121 of Joash3101 king4428 of Judah3063 Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Joash3101 king4428 of Israel3478 began to reign4427 in Samaria,8111 and reigned forty705 and one259 years.8141

24  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he departed5493 not3808 from all4480 3605 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

25  He1931 restored7725 853 the coast1366 of Israel3478 from the entering4480 935 of Hamath2574 unto5704 the sea3220 of the plain,6160 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 which834 he spoke1696 by the hand3027 of his servant5650 Jonah,3124 the son1121 of Amittai,573 the prophet,5030 which834 was of Gath-hepher.4480 1662

26  For3588 the LORD3068 saw7200 853 the affliction6040 of Israel,3478 that it was very3966 bitter:4784 for there was not any657 shut up,6113 nor any657 left,5800 nor369 any helper5826 for Israel.3478

27  And the LORD3068 said1696 not3808 that he would blot out4229 853 the name8034 of Israel3478 from under4480 8478 heaven:8064 but he saved3467 them by the hand3027 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Joash.3101

28  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jeroboam,3379 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and his might,1369 how834 he warred,3898 and how834 he recovered7725 853 Damascus,1834 and Hamath,2574 which belonged to Judah,3063 for Israel,3478 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

29  And Jeroboam3379 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 even with5973 the kings4428 of Israel;3478 and Zachariah2148 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478


2 Kings 15: 1-38


1  In the twenty6242 and seventh7651 year8141 of Jeroboam3379 king4428 of Israel3478 began Azariah5838 son1121 of Amaziah558 king4428 of Judah3063 to reign.4427

2  Sixteen8334 6240 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign,4427 and he reigned4427 two8147 and fifty2572 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Jecholiah3203 of Jerusalem.4480 3389

3  And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that834 his father1 Amaziah558 had done;6213

4  Save7535 that the high places1116 were not3808 removed:5493 the people5971 sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 still5750 on the high places.1116

5  And the LORD3068 smote5060 853 the king,4428 so that he was1961 a leper6879 unto5704 the day3117 of his death,4194 and dwelt3427 in a several2669 house.1004 And Jotham3147 the king's4428 son1121 was over5921 the house,1004 judging8199 853 the people5971 of the land.776

6  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Azariah,5838 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

7  So Azariah5838 slept7901 with5973 his fathers;1 and they buried6912 him with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David:1732 and Jotham3147 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

8  In the thirty7970 and eighth8083 year8141 of Azariah5838 king4428 of Judah3063 did Zachariah2148 the son1121 of Jeroboam3379 reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria8111 six8337 months.2320

9  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 as834 his fathers1 had done:6213 he departed5493 not3808 from the sins4480 2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

10  And Shallum7967 the son1121 of Jabesh3003 conspired7194 against5921 him, and smote5221 him before6905 the people,5971 and slew4191 him, and reigned4427 in his stead.8478

11  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Zachariah,2148 behold,2009 they are written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel.3478

12  This1931 was the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 he spoke1696 unto413 Jehu,3058 saying,559 Thy sons1121 shall sit3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel3478 unto the fourth7243 generation. And so3651 it came to pass.1961

13  Shallum7967 the son1121 of Jabesh3003 began to reign4427 in the nine8672 and thirtieth7970 year8141 of Uzziah5818 king4428 of Judah;3063 and he reigned4427 a full3117 month3391 in Samaria.8111

14  For Menahem4505 the son1121 of Gadi1424 went up5927 from Tirzah,4480 8656 and came935 to Samaria,8111 and smote5221 853 Shallum7967 the son1121 of Jabesh3003 in Samaria,8111 and slew4191 him, and reigned4427 in his stead.8478

15  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Shallum,7967 and his conspiracy7195 which834 he made,7194 behold,2009 they are written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel.3478

16  Then227 Menahem4505 smote5221 853 Tiphsah,8607 and all3605 that834 were therein, and the coasts1366 thereof from Tirzah:4480 8656 because3588 they opened6605 not3808 to him, therefore he smote5221 it; and 853 all3605 the women therein that were with child2030 he ripped up.1234

17  In the nine8672 and thirtieth7970 year8141 of Azariah5838 king4428 of Judah3063 began Menahem4505 the son1121 of Gadi1424 to reign4427 over5921 Israel,3478 and reigned ten6235 years8141 in Samaria.8111

18  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he departed5493 not3808 all3605 his days3117 from4480 5921 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

19  And Pul6322 the king4428 of Assyria804 came935 against5921 the land:776 and Menahem4505 gave5414 Pul6322 a thousand505 talents3603 of silver,3701 that his hand3027 might be1961 with854 him to confirm2388 the kingdom4467 in his hand.3027

20  And Menahem4505 exacted3318 853 the money3701 of5921 Israel,3478 even of5921 all3605 the mighty men1368 of wealth,2428 of each259 man376 fifty2572 shekels8255 of silver,3701 to give5414 to the king4428 of Assyria.804 So the king4428 of Assyria804 turned back,7725 and stayed5975 not3808 there8033 in the land.776

21  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Menahem,4505 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

22  And Menahem4505 slept7901 with5973 his fathers;1 and Pekahiah6494 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

23  In the fiftieth2572 year8141 of Azariah5838 king4428 of Judah3063 Pekahiah6494 the son1121 of Menahem4505 began to reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria,8111 and reigned two years.8141

24  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he departed5493 not3808 from the sins4480 2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

25  But Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah,7425 a captain7991 of his, conspired7194 against5921 him, and smote5221 him in Samaria,8111 in the palace759 of the king's4428 house,1004 with854 Argob709 and854 Arieh,745 and with5973 him fifty2572 men376 of the Gileadites:4480 1121 1569 and he killed4191 him, and reigned4427 in his room.8478

26  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Pekahiah,6494 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 behold,2009 they are written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel.3478

27  In the two8147 and fiftieth2572 year8141 of Azariah5838 king4428 of Judah3063 Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah7425 began to reign4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria,8111 and reigned twenty6242 years.8141

28  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he departed5493 not3808 from4480 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made 853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

29  In the days3117 of Pekah6492 king4428 of Israel3478 came935 Tiglathpileser8407 king4428 of Assyria,804 and took3947 853 Ijon,5859 and Abel-beth-maachah,62 and Janoah,3239 and Kedesh,6943 and Hazor,2674 and Gilead,1568 and Galilee,1551 all3605 the land776 of Naphtali,5321 and carried them captive1540 to Assyria.804

30  And Hoshea1954 the son1121 of Elah425 made7194 a conspiracy7195 against5921 Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah,7425 and smote5221 him, and slew4191 him, and reigned4427 in his stead,8478 in the twentieth6242 year8141 of Jotham3147 the son1121 of Uzziah.5818

31  And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Pekah,6492 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 behold,2009 they are written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel.3478

32  In the second8147 year8141 of Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah7425 king4428 of Israel3478 began Jotham3147 the son1121 of Uzziah5818 king4428 of Judah3063 to reign.4427

33  Five2568 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign,4427 and he reigned4427 sixteen8337 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Jerusha,3388 the daughter1323 of Zadok.6659

34  And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD:3068 he did6213 according to all3605 that834 his father1 Uzziah5818 had done.6213

35  Howbeit7535 the high places1116 were not3808 removed:5493 the people5971 sacrificed2076 and burned incense6999 still5750 in the high places.1116 He1931 built1129 853 the higher5945 gate8179 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068

36  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jotham,3147 and all that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

37  In those1992 days3117 the LORD3068 began2490 to send7971 against Judah3063 Rezin7526 the king4428 of Syria,758 and Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah.7425

38  And Jotham3147 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and was buried6912 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David1732 his father:1 and Ahaz271 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478


2 Kings 16: 1-20


1  In the seventeenth7651 6240 year8141 of Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah7425 Ahaz271 the son1121 of Jotham3147 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

2  Twenty6242 years8141 old1121 was Ahaz271 when he began to reign,4427 and reigned4427 sixteen8337 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem,3389 and did6213 not3808 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 his God,430 like David1732 his father.1

3  But he walked1980 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 yea,1571 and made 853 his son1121 to pass through5674 the fire,784 according to the abominations8441 of the heathen,1471 whom834 853 the LORD3068 cast out3423 from before4480 6440 the children1121 of Israel.3478

4  And he sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 in the high places,1116 and on5921 the hills,1389 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree.6086

5  Then227 Rezin7526 king4428 of Syria758 and Pekah6492 son1121 of Remaliah7425 king4428 of Israel3478 came up5927 to Jerusalem3389 to war:4421 and they besieged6696 5921 Ahaz,271 but could3201 not3808 overcome3898 him.

6  At that1931 time6256 Rezin7526 king4428 of Syria758 recovered7725 853 Elath359 to Syria,758 and drove5394 853 the Jews3064 from Elath:4480 359 and the Syrians726 came935 to Elath,359 and dwelt3427 there8033 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

7  So Ahaz271 sent7971 messengers4397 to413 Tiglathpileser8407 king4428 of Assyria,804 saying,559 I589 am thy servant5650 and thy son:1121 come up,5927 and save3467 me out of the hand4480 3709 of the king4428 of Syria,758 and out of the hand4480 3709 of the king4428 of Israel,3478 which rise up6965 against5921 me.

8  And Ahaz271 took3947 853 the silver3701 and gold2091 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house,1004 and sent7971 it for a present7810 to the king4428 of Assyria.804

9  And the king4428 of Assyria804 hearkened8085 unto413 him: for the king4428 of Assyria804 went up5927 against413 Damascus,1834 and took8610 it, and carried the people of it captive1540 to Kir,7024 and slew4191 Rezin.7526

10  And king4428 Ahaz271 went1980 to Damascus1834 to meet7122 Tiglathpileser8407 king4428 of Assyria,804 and saw7200 853 an altar4196 that834 was at Damascus:1834 and king4428 Ahaz271 sent7971 to413 Urijah223 the priest3548 853 the fashion1823 of the altar,4196 and the pattern8403 of it, according to all3605 the workmanship4639 thereof.

11  And Urijah223 the priest3548 built1129 853 an altar4196 according to all3605 that834 king4428 Ahaz271 had sent7971 from Damascus:4480 1834 so3651 Urijah223 the priest3548 made6213 it against5704 king4428 Ahaz271 came935 from Damascus.4480 1834

12  And when the king4428 was come935 from Damascus,4480 1834 the king4428 saw7200 853 the altar:4196 and the king4428 approached7126 to5921 the altar,4196 and offered5927 thereon.5921

13  And he burnt6999 853 his burnt offering5930 and his meat offering,4503 and poured5258 853 his drink offering,5262 and sprinkled2236 853 the blood1818 of his834 peace offerings,8002 upon5921 the altar.4196

14  And he brought7126 also the brazen5178 altar,4196 which834 was before6440 the LORD,3068 from4480 854 the forefront6440 of the house,1004 from between4480 996 the altar4196 and the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and put5414 it on5921 the north6828 side3409 of the altar.4196

15  And king4428 Ahaz271 commanded6680 853 Urijah223 the priest,3548 saying,559 Upon5921 the great1419 altar4196 burn6999 853 the morning1242 burnt offering,5930 and the evening6153 meat offering,4503 and the king's4428 burnt sacrifice,5930 and his meat offering,4503 with the burnt offering5930 of all3605 the people5971 of the land,776 and their meat offering,4503 and their drink offerings;5262 and sprinkle2236 upon5921 it all3605 the blood1818 of the burnt offering,5930 and all3605 the blood1818 of the sacrifice:2077 and the brazen5178 altar4196 shall be1961 for me to inquire1239 by.

16  Thus did6213 Urijah223 the priest,3548 according to all3605 that834 king4428 Ahaz271 commanded.6680

17  And king4428 Ahaz271 cut off7112 853 the borders4526 of the bases,4350 and removed5493 the laver3595 from off4480 5921 them; and took down3381 the sea3220 from off4480 5921 the brazen5178 oxen1241 that834 were under8478 it, and put5414 it upon5921 a pavement4837 of stones.68

18  And the covert4329 for the sabbath7676 that834 they had built1129 in the house,1004 and the king's4428 entry3996 without,2435 turned5437 he from the house1004 of the LORD3068 for4480 6440 the king4428 of Assyria.804

19  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaz271 which834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

20  And Ahaz271 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and was buried6912 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David:1732 and Hezekiah2396 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478


2 Kings 17: 1-41


1  In the twelfth8147 6240 year8141 of Ahaz271 king4428 of Judah3063 began Hoshea1954 the son1121 of Elah425 to reign4427 in Samaria8111 over5921 Israel3478 nine8672 years.8141

2  And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 but7535 not3808 as the kings4428 of Israel3478 that834 were1961 before6440 him.

3  Against5921 him came up5927 Shalmaneser8022 king4428 of Assyria;804 and Hoshea1954 became1961 his servant,5650 and gave7725 him presents.4503

4  And the king4428 of Assyria804 found4672 conspiracy7195 in Hoshea:1954 for he had sent7971 messengers4397 to413 So5471 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and brought5927 no3808 present4503 to the king4428 of Assyria,804 as he had done year8141 by year:8141 therefore the king4428 of Assyria804 shut him up,6113 and bound631 him in prison.1004 3608

5  Then the king4428 of Assyria804 came up5927 throughout all3605 the land,776 and went up5927 to Samaria,8111 and besieged6696 5921 it three7969 years.8141

6  In the ninth8671 year8141 of Hoshea1954 the king4428 of Assyria804 took3920 853 Samaria,8111 and carried Israel away1540 853 3478 into Assyria,804 and placed3427 them in Halah2477 and in Habor2249 by the river5104 of Gozan,1470 and in the cities5892 of the Medes.4074

7  For so it was,1961 that3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 had sinned2398 against the LORD3068 their God,430 which had brought them up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and had feared3372 other312 gods,430

8  And walked1980 in the statutes2708 of the heathen,1471 whom834 the LORD3068 cast out3423 from before4480 6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 which834 they had made.6213

9  And the children1121 of Israel3478 did secretly2644 those things1697 that834 were not3808 right3651 against5921 the LORD3068 their God,430 and they built1129 them high places1116 in all3605 their cities,5892 from the tower4480 4026 of the watchmen5341 to5704 the fenced4013 city.5892

10  And they set them up5324 images4676 and groves842 in5921 every3605 high1364 hill,1389 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree:6086

11  And there8033 they burnt incense6999 in all3605 the high places,1116 as did the heathen1471 whom834 the LORD3068 carried away1540 before4480 6440 them; and wrought6213 wicked7451 things1697 to provoke3707 853 the LORD3068 to anger:

12  For they served5647 idols,1544 whereof834 the LORD3068 had said559 unto them, Ye shall not3808 do6213 853 this2088 thing.1697

13  Yet the LORD3068 testified5749 against Israel,3478 and against Judah,3063 by3027 all3605 the prophets,5030 and by all3605 the seers,2374 saying,559 Turn7725 ye from your evil ways,4480 1870 7451 and keep8104 my commandments4687 and my statutes,2708 according to all3605 the law8451 which834 I commanded6680 853 your fathers,1 and which834 I sent7971 to413 you by3027 my servants5650 the prophets.5030

14  Notwithstanding they would not3808 hear,8085 but hardened7185 853 their necks,6203 like to the neck6203 of their fathers,1 that834 did not3808 believe539 in the LORD3068 their God.430

15  And they rejected3988 853 his statutes,2706 and his covenant1285 that834 he made3772 with854 their fathers,1 and his testimonies5715 which834 he testified5749 against them; and they followed1980 310 vanity,1892 and became vain,1891 and went after310 the heathen1471 that834 were round about5439 them, concerning whom834 the LORD3068 had charged6680 them, that they should not1115 do6213 like them.

16  And they left5800 853 all3605 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 their God,430 and made6213 them molten images,4541 even two8147 calves,5695 and made6213 a grove,842 and worshiped7812 all3605 the host6635 of heaven,8064 and served5647 853 Baal.1168

17  And they caused 853 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 to pass through5674 the fire,784 and used7080 divination7081 and enchantments,5172 and sold themselves4376 to do6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 to provoke him to anger.3707

18  Therefore the LORD3068 was very angry599 3966 with Israel,3478 and removed5493 them out of4480 5921 his sight:6440 there was none3808 left7604 but7535 the tribe7626 of Judah3063 only.905

19  Also1571 Judah3063 kept8104 not3808 853 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 their God,430 but walked1980 in the statutes2708 of Israel3478 which834 they made.6213

20  And the LORD3068 rejected3988 all3605 the seed2233 of Israel,3478 and afflicted6031 them, and delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of spoilers,8154 until5704 834 he had cast them out7993 of his sight.4480 6440

21  For3588 he rent7167 Israel3478 from4480 5921 the house1004 of David;1732 and they made 853 Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028 king:4427 and Jeroboam3379 drove5080 853 Israel3478 from following4480 310 the LORD,3068 and made them sin2398 a great1419 sin.2401

22  For the children1121 of Israel3478 walked1980 in all3605 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 which834 he did;6213 they departed5493 not3808 from4480 them;

23  Until5704 834 the LORD3068 removed5493 853 Israel3478 out of4480 5921 his sight,6440 as834 he had said1696 by3027 all3605 his servants5650 the prophets.5030 So was Israel3478 carried away1540 out of4480 5921 their own land127 to Assyria804 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

24  And the king4428 of Assyria804 brought935 men from Babylon,4480 894 and from Cuthah,4480 3575 and from Ava,4480 5755 and from Hamath,4480 2574 and from Sepharvaim,5617 and placed3427 them in the cities5892 of Samaria8111 instead8478 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 and they possessed3423 853 Samaria,8111 and dwelt3427 in the cities5892 thereof.

25  And so it was1961 at the beginning8462 of their dwelling3427 there,8033 that they feared3372 not3808 853 the LORD:3068 therefore the LORD3068 sent7971 853 lions738 among them, which slew2026 some of them.

26  Wherefore they spoke559 to the king4428 of Assyria,804 saying,559 The nations1471 which834 thou hast removed,1540 and placed3427 in the cities5892 of Samaria,8111 know3045 not3808 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land:776 therefore he hath sent7971 853 lions738 among them, and, behold,2009 they slay4191 them, because834 they know3045 not369 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land.776

27  Then the king4428 of Assyria804 commanded,6680 saying,559 Carry1980 thither8033 one259 of the priests4480 3548 whom834 ye brought1540 from thence;4480 8033 and let them go1980 and dwell3427 there,8033 and let him teach3384 them 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land.776

28  Then one259 of the priests4480 3548 whom834 they had carried away1540 from Samaria4480 8111 came935 and dwelt3427 in Bethel,1008 and taught3384 them how349 they should fear3372 853 the LORD.3068

29  Howbeit every nation1471 1471 made6213 gods430 of their own, and put5117 them in the houses1004 of the high places1116 which834 the Samaritans8118 had made,6213 every nation1471 1471 in their cities5892 wherein834 8033 they1992 dwelt.3427

30  And the men376 of Babylon894 made6213 853 Succothbenoth,5524 and the men376 of Cuth3575 made6213 853 Nergal,5370 and the men376 of Hamath2574 made6213 853 Ashima,807

31  And the Avites5761 made6213 Nibhaz5026 and Tartak,8662 and the Sepharvites5617 burnt8313 853 their children1121 in fire784 to Adrammelech152 and Anammelech,6048 the gods430 of Sepharvaim.5617

32  So they feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and made6213 unto themselves of the lowest4480 7098 of them priests3548 of the high places,1116 which sacrificed6213 for them in the houses1004 of the high places.1116

33  They feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and served1961 5647 their own gods,430 after the manner4941 of the nations1471 whom834 853 they carried away1540 from thence.4480 8033

34  Unto5704 this2088 day3117 they1992 do6213 after the former7223 manners:4941 they fear3372 not369 853 the LORD,3068 neither369 do6213 they after their statutes,2708 or after their ordinances,4941 or after the law8451 and commandment4687 which834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 the children1121 of Jacob,3290 whom834 he named7760 8034 Israel;3478

35  With854 whom the LORD3068 had made3772 a covenant,1285 and charged6680 them, saying,559 Ye shall not3808 fear3372 other312 gods,430 nor3808 bow yourselves7812 to them, nor3808 serve5647 them, nor3808 sacrifice2076 to them:

36  But3588 518 853 the LORD,3068 who834 brought you up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 with great1419 power3581 and a stretched out5186 arm,2220 him shall ye fear,3372 and him shall ye worship,7812 and to him shall ye do sacrifice.2076

37  And the statutes,2706 and the ordinances,4941 and the law,8451 and the commandment,4687 which834 he wrote3789 for you, ye shall observe8104 to do6213 forevermore;3605 3117 and ye shall not3808 fear3372 other312 gods.430

38  And the covenant1285 that834 I have made3772 with854 you ye shall not3808 forget;7911 neither3808 shall ye fear3372 other312 gods.430

39  But3588 518 853 the LORD3068 your God430 ye shall fear;3372 and he1931 shall deliver5337 you out of the hand4480 3027 of all3605 your enemies.341

40  Howbeit they did not3808 hearken,8085 but3588 518 they1992 did6213 after their former7223 manner.4941

41  So these428 nations1471 feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and served5647 their graven images,6456 both1571 their children,1121 and their children's1121 children:1121 as834 did6213 their fathers,1 so do6213 they1992 unto5704 this2088 day.3117


2 Kings 18: 1-37


1  Now it came to pass1961 in the third7969 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Hezekiah2396 the son1121 of Ahaz271 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

2  Twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 twenty6242 and nine8672 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 His mother's517 name8034 also was Abi,21 the daughter1323 of Zachariah.2148

3  And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that834 David1732 his father1 did.6213

4  He1931 removed5493 853 the high places,1116 and broke7665 853 the images,4676 and cut down3772 853 the groves,842 and broke in pieces3807 the brazen5178 serpent5175 that834 Moses4872 had made:6213 for3588 unto5704 those1992 days3117 the children1121 of Israel3478 did1961 burn incense6999 to it: and he called7121 it Nehushtan.5180

5  He trusted982 in the LORD3068 God430 of Israel;3478 so that after310 him was1961 none3808 like him3644 among all3605 the kings4428 of Judah,3063 nor any that834 were1961 before6440 him.

6  For he cleaved1692 to the LORD,3068 and departed5493 not3808 from following4480 310 him, but kept8104 his commandments,4687 which834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 Moses.4872

7  And the LORD3068 was1961 with5973 him; and he prospered7919 whithersoever3605 834 he went forth:3318 and he rebelled4775 against the king4428 of Assyria,804 and served5647 him not.3808

8  He1931 smote5221 853 the Philistines,6430 even unto5704 Gaza,5804 and the borders1366 thereof, from the tower4480 4026 of the watchmen5341 to5704 the fenced4013 city.5892

9  And it came to pass1961 in the fourth7243 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah,2396 which1931 was the seventh7637 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Shalmaneser8022 king4428 of Assyria804 came up5927 against5921 Samaria,8111 and besieged6696 5921 it.

10  And at the end4480 7097 of three7969 years8141 they took3920 it: even in the sixth8337 year8141 of Hezekiah,2396 that1931 is the ninth8672 year8141 of Hoshea1954 king4428 of Israel,3478 Samaria8111 was taken.3920

11  And the king4428 of Assyria804 did carry away1540 853 Israel3478 unto Assyria,804 and put5148 them in Halah2477 and in Habor2249 by the river5104 of Gozan,1470 and in the cities5892 of the Medes:4074

12  Because5921 834 they obeyed8085 not3808 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 their God,430 but transgressed5674 853 his covenant,1285 and 853 all3605 that834 Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded,6680 and would not3808 hear8085 them, nor3808 do6213 them.

13  Now in the fourteenth702 6240 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah2396 did Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria804 come up5927 against5921 all3605 the fenced1219 cities5892 of Judah,3063 and took8610 them.

14  And Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 to413 the king4428 of Assyria804 to Lachish,3923 saying,559 I have offended;2398 return7725 from4480 5921 me: 853 that which834 thou puttest5414 on5921 me will I bear.5375 And the king4428 of Assyria804 appointed7760 unto5921 Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 three7969 hundred3967 talents3603 of silver3701 and thirty7970 talents3603 of gold.2091

15  And Hezekiah2396 gave5414 him 853 all3605 the silver3701 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house.1004

16  At that1931 time6256 did Hezekiah2396 cut off7112 the gold from 853 the doors1817 of the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 and from the pillars547 which834 Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 had overlaid,6823 and gave5414 it to the king4428 of Assyria.804

17  And the king4428 of Assyria804 sent7971 853 Tartan8661 and Rabsaris7249 and Rab-shakeh7262 from4480 Lachish3923 to413 king4428 Hezekiah2396 with a great3515 host2426 against Jerusalem.3389 And they went up5927 and came935 to Jerusalem.3389 And when they were come up,5927 they came935 and stood5975 by the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool,1295 which834 is in the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field.7704

18  And when they had called7121 to413 the king,4428 there came out3318 to413 them Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 which834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah3098 the son1121 of Asaph623 the recorder.2142

19  And Rab-shakeh7262 said559 unto413 them, Speak559 ye now4994 to413 Hezekiah,2396 Thus3541 saith559 the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria,804 What4100 confidence986 is this2088 wherein834 thou trustest?982

20  Thou sayest,559 (but389 they are but vain8193 words,)1697 I have counsel6098 and strength1369 for the war.4421 Now6258 on5921 whom4310 dost thou trust,982 that3588 thou rebellest4775 against me?

21  Now,6258 behold,2009 thou trustest982 upon5921 the staff4938 of this2088 bruised7533 reed,7070 even upon5921 Egypt,4714 on5921 which834 if a man376 lean,5564 it will go935 into his hand,3709 and pierce5344 it: so3651 is Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714 unto all3605 that trust982 on5921 him.

22  But if3588 ye say559 unto413 me, We trust982 in413 the LORD3068 our God:430 is not3808 that he,1931 whose834 853 high places1116 and whose altars4196 Hezekiah2396 hath taken away,5493 and hath said559 to Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 Ye shall worship7812 before6440 this2088 altar4196 in Jerusalem?3389

23  Now6258 therefore, I pray thee,4994 give pledges6149 to854 my lord113 the king4428 of Assyria,804 and I will deliver5414 thee two thousand505 horses,5483 if518 thou be able3201 on thy part to set5414 riders7392 upon5921 them.

24  How349 then wilt thou turn away7725 853 the face6440 of one259 captain6346 of the least6996 of my master's113 servants,5650 and put thy trust982 on5921 Egypt4714 for chariots7393 and for horsemen?6571

25  Am I now6258 come up5927 without4480 1107 the LORD3068 against5921 this2088 place4725 to destroy7843 it? The LORD3068 said559 to413 me, Go up5927 against5921 this2063 land,776 and destroy7843 it.
