2 Kings 6

KJV

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

1 καὶ εἶπον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν πρὸς Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἡμεῖς οἰκοῦμεν ἐνώπιόν σου στενὸς ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν

2 πορευθῶμεν δὴ ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ λάβωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἷς δοκὸν μίαν καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ καὶ εἶπεν δεῦτε

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ εἷς ἐπιεικέως δεῦρο μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου καὶ εἶπεν ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι

4 καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ ἔτεμνον τὰ ξύλα

5 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ εἷς καταβάλλων τὴν δοκόν καὶ τὸ σιδήριον ἐξέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐβόησεν ὦ κύριε καὶ αὐτὸ κεχρημένον

6 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ποῦ ἔπεσεν καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἀπέκνισεν ξύλον καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐπεπόλασεν τὸ σιδήριον

7 καὶ εἶπεν ὕψωσον σαυτῷ καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτό

8 καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ λέγων εἰς τὸν τόπον τόνδε τινὰ ελμωνι παρεμβαλῶ

9 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ελισαιε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων φύλαξαι μὴ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ὅτι ἐκεῖ Συρία κέκρυπται

10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ελισαιε καὶ ἐφυλάξατο ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μίαν οὐδὲ δύο

11 καὶ ἐξεκινήθη ἡ ψυχὴ βασιλέως Συρίας περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι τίς προδίδωσίν με βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ

12 καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐχί κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ ὅτι Ελισαιε ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐν Ισραηλ ἀναγγέλλει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐὰν λαλήσῃς ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τοῦ κοιτῶνός σου

13 καὶ εἶπεν δεῦτε ἴδετε ποῦ οὗτος καὶ ἀποστείλας λήμψομαι αὐτόν καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ἐν Δωθαϊμ

14 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖ ἵππον καὶ ἅρμα καὶ δύναμιν βαρεῖαν καὶ ἦλθον νυκτὸς καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν πόλιν

15 καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λειτουργὸς Ελισαιε ἀναστῆναι καὶ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἰδοὺ δύναμις κυκλοῦσα τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα καὶ εἶπεν τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς αὐτόν ὦ κύριε πῶς ποιήσωμεν

16 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε μὴ φοβοῦ ὅτι πλείους οἱ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν

17 καὶ προσεύξατο Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν κύριε διάνοιξον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ ἰδέτω καὶ διήνοιξεν κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄρος πλῆρες ἵππων καὶ ἅρμα πυρὸς περικύκλῳ Ελισαιε

18 καὶ κατέβησαν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ προσηύξατο Ελισαιε πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν πάταξον δὴ τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ἀορασίᾳ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀορασίᾳ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε

19 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ελισαιε οὐχ αὕτη ἡ πόλις καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδός δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου καὶ ἀπάξω ὑμᾶς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα ὃν ζητεῖτε καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Σαμάρειαν

20 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἄνοιξον δή κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν καὶ διήνοιξεν κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦσαν ἐν μέσῳ Σαμαρείας

21 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὡς εἶδεν αὐτούς εἰ πατάξας πατάξω πάτερ

22 καὶ εἶπεν οὐ πατάξεις εἰ μὴ οὓς ᾐχμαλώτευσας ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σου καὶ τόξῳ σου σὺ τύπτεις παράθες ἄρτους καὶ ὕδωρ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ φαγέτωσαν καὶ πιέτωσαν καὶ ἀπελθέτωσαν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν

23 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς παράθεσιν μεγάλην καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι μονόζωνοι Συρίας τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἤθροισεν υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν Σαμάρειαν

25 καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἰδοὺ περιεκάθηντο ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν ἕως οὗ ἐγενήθη κεφαλὴ ὄνου πεντήκοντα σίκλων ἀργυρίου καὶ τέταρτον τοῦ κάβου κόπρου περιστερῶν πέντε σίκλων ἀργυρίου

26 καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ διαπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους καὶ γυνὴ ἐβόησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα σῶσον κύριε βασιλεῦ

27 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ μή σε σώσαι κύριος πόθεν σώσω σε μὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ἅλωνος ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς ληνοῦ

28 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς τί ἐστίν σοι καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ αὕτη εἶπεν πρός με δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν σήμερον καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν αὔριον

29 καὶ ἡψήσαμεν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ ἐφάγομεν αὐτόν καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φάγωμεν αὐτόν καὶ ἔκρυψεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς

30 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς λόγους τῆς γυναικός διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς διεπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὸν σάκκον ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσωθεν

31 καὶ εἶπεν τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη εἰ στήσεται ἡ κεφαλὴ Ελισαιε ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ σήμερον

32 καὶ Ελισαιε ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκάθηντο μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἄνδρα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ φονευτοῦ οὗτος ἀφελεῖν τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ἄγγελος ἀποκλείσατε τὴν θύραν καὶ παραθλίψατε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ οὐχὶ φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ

33 ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ αὕτη ἡ κακία παρὰ κυρίου τί ὑπομείνω τῷ κυρίῳ ἔτι

Vul

1 Dixerunt autem filii prophetarum ad Eliseum: Ecce locus in quo habitamus coram te, angustus est nobis.

2 Eamus usque ad Jordanem, et tollant singuli de silva materias singulas, ut ædificemus nobis ibi locum ad habitandum. Qui dixit: Ite.

3 Et ait unus ex illis: Veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis. Respondit: Ego veniam.

4 Et abiit cum eis. Cumque venissent ad Jordanem, cædebant ligna.

5 Accidit autem ut cum unus materiam succidisset, caderet ferrum securis in aquam: exclamavitque ille, et ait: Heu! heu! heu! domine mi: et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam.

6 Dixit autem homo Dei: Ubi cecidit? At ille monstravit ei locum. Præcidit ergo lignum, et misit illuc: natavitque ferrum,

7 et ait: Tolle. Qui extendit manum, et tulit illud.

8 Rex autem Syriæ pugnabat contra Israël, consiliumque iniit cum servis suis, dicens: In loco illo et illo ponamus insidias.

9 Misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israël, dicens: Cave ne transeas in locum illum: quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt.

10 Misit itaque rex Israël ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei, et præoccupavit eum, et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis.

11 Conturbatumque est cor regis Syriæ pro hac re: et convocatis servis suis, ait: Quare non indicatis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israël?

12 Dixitque unus servorum ejus: Nequaquam, domine mi rex, sed Eliseus propheta qui est in Israël, indicat regi Israël omnia verba quæcumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo.

13 Dixitque eis: Ite, et videte ubi sit, ut mittam, et capiam eum. Annuntiaveruntque ei, dicentes: Ecce in Dothan.

14 Misit ergo illuc equos et currus, et robur exercitus: qui cum venissent nocte, circumdederunt civitatem.

15 Consurgens autem diluculo minister viri Dei, egressus vidit exercitum in circuitu civitatis, et equos et currus: nuntiavitque ei, dicens: Heu! heu! heu! domine mi: quid faciemus?

16 At ille respondit: Noli timere: plures enim nobiscum sunt, quam cum illis.

17 Cumque orasset Eliseus, ait: Domine, aperi oculos hujus, ut videat. Et aperuit Dominus oculos pueri, et vidit: et ecce mons plenus equorum et curruum igneorum in circuitu Elisei.

18 Hostes vero descenderunt ad eum: porro Eliseus oravit ad Dominum, dicens: Percute, obsecro, gentem hanc cæcitate. Percussitque eos Dominus ne viderent, juxta verbum Elisei.

19 Dixit autem ad eos Eliseus: Non est hæc via, neque ista est civitas: sequimini me, et ostendam vobis virum quem quæritis. Duxit ergo eos in Samariam:

20 cumque ingressi fuissent in Samariam, dixit Eliseus: Domine, aperi oculos istorum, ut videant. Aperuitque Dominus oculos eorum, et viderunt se esse in medio Samariæ.

21 Dixitque rex Israël ad Eliseum, cum vidisset eos: Numquid percutiam eos, pater mi?

22 At ille ait: Non percuties: neque enim cepisti eos gladio et arcu tuo, ut percutias: sed pone panem et aquam coram eis, ut comedant et bibant, et vadant ad dominum suum.

23 Appositaque est eis ciborum magna præparatio, et comederunt et biberunt, et dimisit eos, abieruntque ad dominum suum, et ultra non venerunt latrones Syriæ in terram Israël.

24 Factum est autem post hæc, congregavit Benadad rex Syriæ universum exercitum suum, et ascendit, et obsidebat Samariam.

25 Factaque est fames magna in Samaria: et tamdiu obsessa est, donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis, et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis.

26 Cumque rex Israël transiret per murum, mulier quædam exclamavit ad eum, dicens: Salva me, domine mi rex.

27 Qui ait: Non te salvat Dominus: unde te possum salvare? de area, vel de torculari? Dixitque ad eam rex: Quid tibi vis? Quæ respondit:

28 Mulier ista dixit mihi: Da filium tuum, ut comedamus eum hodie, et filium meum comedemus cras.

29 Coximus ergo filium meum, et comedimus. Dixique ei die altera: Da filium tuum, ut comedamus eum. Quæ abscondit filium suum.

30 Quod cum audisset rex, scidit vestimenta sua, et transibat per murum. Viditque omnis populus cilicium quo vestitus erat ad carnem intrinsecus.

31 Et ait rex: Hæc mihi faciat Deus, et hæc addat, si steterit caput Elisei filii Saphat super ipsum hodie.

32 Eliseus autem sedebat in domo sua, et senes sedebant cum eo. Præmisit itaque virum: et antequam veniret nuntius ille, dixit ad senes: Numquid scitis quod miserit filius homicidæ hic, ut præcidatur caput meum? videte ergo: cum venerit nuntius, claudite ostium, et non sinatis eum introire: ecce enim sonitus pedum domini ejus post eum est.

33 Adhuc illo loquente eis, apparuit nuntius qui veniebat ad eum. Et ait: Ecce, tantum malum a Domino est: quid amplius expectabo a Domino?
