Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Gad,<S>1410</S> "I am in great<S>3966</S> distress.<S>9504</S> Let us now<S>4994</S> fall<S>5307</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> for His mercies<S>7356</S> are great,<S>7227</S> but do not let me fall<S>5307</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of man.<S>120</S>"

When the angel<S>4397</S> stretched<S>7971</S> out his hand<S>3027</S> toward Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> it, the Lord<S>3068</S> relented<S>5162</S> from the calamity,<S>9567</S> and said<S>559</S> to the angel<S>4397</S> who destroyed<S>7843</S> the people,<S>5971</S> "It is enough!<S>7227</S> Now<S>6258</S> relax<S>7503</S> your hand!<S>3027</S>" And the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was by the threshing<S>1637</S> floor<S>1637</S> of Araunah<S>728</S> the Jebusite.<S>2983</S>

So Gad<S>1410</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S> that day<S>3117</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Go<S>5927</S> up, erect<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> on the threshing<S>1637</S> floor<S>1637</S> of Araunah<S>728</S> the Jebusite.<S>2983</S>"

And David<S>1732</S> went<S>5927</S> up according to the word<S>1697</S> of Gad,<S>1410</S> just<S>9201</S> as the Lord<S>3068</S> had commanded.<S>6680</S>


text:
<pb/>And Araunah<S>728</S> looked<S>8259</S> down<S>8259</S> and saw<S>7200</S> the king<S>4428</S> and his servants<S>5650</S> crossing<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> toward<S>5921</S> him; and Araunah<S>728</S> went<S>3318</S> out and bowed<S>7812</S> his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
Then Araunah<S>728</S> said,<S>559</S> "Why<S>4069</S> has my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> come<S>935</S> to his servant<S>5650</S>?"

text:
And Araunah<S>728</S> said<S>559</S> to David,<S>1732</S> "Let my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> take<S>3947</S> and offer<S>5927</S> up what<S>2896</S> is good<S>2896</S> in his sight.<S>5869</S> Look,<S>7200</S> the oxen<S>1241</S> for the burnt<S>5930</S> offering,<S>5930</S> the threshing<S>4173</S> sledges<S>4173</S> and the yokes<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S> for the wood.<S>6086</S>

"Everything,<S>3605</S> O king,<S>4428</S> Araunah<S>728</S> gives<S>5414</S> to the king.<S>4428</S>" And Araunah<S>728</S> said<S>559</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> "May the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> accept<S>7521</S> you."


text:
However, the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Araunah,<S>728</S> "No,<S>3808</S> but I will surely<S>7069</S> buy<S>7069</S> [it] from you for a price,<S>4242</S> for I will not offer<S>5927</S> burnt<S>5930</S> offerings<S>5930</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S> which<S>2600</S> cost<S>2600</S> me nothing.<S>2600</S>" So David<S>1732</S> bought<S>7069</S> the threshing<S>1637</S> floor<S>1637</S> and the oxen<S>1241</S> for fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of silver.<S>3701</S>


text:
And David<S>1732</S> built<S>1129</S> there<S>8033</S> an altar<S>4196</S> to the Lord,<S>3068</S> and offered<S>5927</S> burnt<S>5930</S> offerings<S>5930</S> and peace<S>8002</S> offerings.<S>8002</S> Thus the Lord<S>3068</S> was moved<S>6279</S> by entreaty<S>6279</S> for the land,<S>776</S> and the plague<S>4046</S> was held<S>6113</S> back<S>6113</S> from Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
<pb/>Now King<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> was old,<S>2204</S> advanced<S>935</S> in age;<S>3117</S> and they covered<S>3680</S> him with clothes,<S>899</S> but he could not keep<S>2552</S> warm.<S>2552</S>


text:
So his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Let them seek<S>1245</S> a young<S>5291</S> virgin<S>1330</S> for my lord<S>113</S> the king,<S>4428</S> and let her attend<S>5975</S> <S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and become<S>1961</S> his nurse;<S>5532</S> and let her lie<S>7901</S> in your bosom,<S>2436</S> that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> may keep<S>2552</S> warm.<S>2552</S>"


text:
So they searched<S>1245</S> for a beautiful<S>3303</S> girl<S>5291</S> throughout all<S>3605</S> the territory<S>1366</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and found<S>4672</S> Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite,<S>7767</S> and brought<S>935</S> her to the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
And the girl<S>5291</S> was very<S>3966</S> beautiful;<S>3303</S> and she became<S>1961</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s nurse<S>5532</S> and served<S>8334</S> him, but the king did not cohabit<S>3045</S> with her.


text:
<pb/>Now Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> exalted<S>5375</S> himself, saying,<S>559</S> "I will be king.<S>4427</S>" So he prepared<S>6213</S> for himself chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S> with fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> to run<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> him.

And his father had never<S>1</S> crossed<S>3808</S> him at any<S>6087</S> time<S>4480</S> by asking,<S>3117</S> "Why<S>559</S> have you done<S>4069</S> so<S>6213</S>?" And he was also<S>3602</S> a very<S>1571</S> handsome<S>3966</S> <S>2896</S> man;<S>8389</S> and he was born<S>2896</S> after<S>3205</S> Absalom.<S>310</S>


text:
And he had conferred<S>1697</S> with Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> and with Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest;<S>3548</S> and following<S>310</S> Adonijah<S>138</S> they helped<S>5826</S> him.


text:
But Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest,<S>3548</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada,<S>3077</S> Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet,<S>5030</S> Shimei,<S>8096</S> Rei,<S>7472</S> and the mighty<S>1368</S> men<S>1368</S> who<S>834</S> belonged to David,<S>1732</S> were not with Adonijah.<S>138</S>


text:
And Adonijah<S>138</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> and fatlings<S>4806</S> by the stone<S>68</S> of Zoheleth,<S>2120</S> which<S>834</S> is beside<S>681</S> En-rogel; and he invited<S>7121</S> all<S>3605</S> his brothers,<S>251</S> the king's sons,<S>1121</S> and all<S>3605</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> the king's servants.<S>5650</S>

<pb/>Then Nathan<S>5416</S> spoke<S>559</S> to Bathsheba<S>1339</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Solomon,<S>8010</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Have you not heard<S>8085</S> that Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> has become<S>4427</S> king,<S>4427</S> and David<S>1732</S> our lord<S>113</S> does not know<S>3045</S> [it?]

<pb/>Then to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S> the king<S>4428</S> said,<S>559</S> "Go<S>1980</S> to Anathoth<S>6068</S> to your own field,<S>7704</S> for you deserve<S>376</S> to die;<S>4194</S> but I will not put<S>4191</S> you to death<S>4191</S> at this<S>2088</S> time,<S>3117</S> because<S>3588</S> you carried<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>136</S> God<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> my father David,<S>1</S> and because<S>1732</S> you were afflicted<S>3588</S> in everything<S>6031</S> with which<S>3605</S> my father was afflicted.<S>834</S>"


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> dismissed<S>1644</S> Abiathar<S>54</S> from being<S>1961</S> priest<S>3548</S> to the Lord,<S>3068</S> in order to fulfill<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> which<S>834</S> He had spoken<S>1696</S> concerning<S>5921</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> in Shiloh.<S>7887</S>

<pb/>Now the news<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to Joab,<S>3097</S> for Joab<S>3097</S> had followed<S>5186</S> <S>310</S> Adonijah,<S>138</S> although he had not followed<S>310</S> <S>5186</S> Absalom.<S>53</S> And Joab<S>3097</S> fled<S>5127</S> to the tent<S>168</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> and took<S>2388</S> hold<S>2388</S> of the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar.<S>4196</S>

And it was told<S>5046</S> King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Joab<S>3097</S> had fled<S>5127</S> to the tent<S>168</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> he is beside<S>681</S> the altar.<S>4196</S> Then Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada,<S>3077</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Go,<S>1980</S> fall<S>6293</S> upon him."


text:
So Benaiah<S>1141</S> came<S>935</S> to the tent<S>168</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Thus<S>3541</S> the king<S>4428</S> has said,<S>559</S> 'Come<S>3318</S> out.'" But he said,<S>559</S> "No,<S>3808</S> for I will die<S>4191</S> here.<S>6311</S>" And Benaiah<S>1141</S> brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again,<S>7725</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> spoke<S>1696</S> Joab,<S>3097</S> and thus<S>3541</S> he answered<S>6030</S> me."


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Do<S>6213</S> as he has spoken<S>1696</S> and fall<S>6293</S> upon him and bury<S>6912</S> him, that you may remove<S>5493</S> from me and from my father's house<S>1004</S> the blood<S>1818</S> which<S>834</S> Joab<S>3097</S> shed<S>8210</S> without<S>2600</S> cause.<S>2600</S>

<pb/>Now the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Build<S>1129</S> for yourself a house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and live<S>3427</S> there,<S>8033</S> and do not go<S>3318</S> out from there<S>8033</S> to any<S>575</S> place.<S>575</S>

"For it will happen<S>1961</S> on the day<S>3117</S> you go<S>3318</S> out and cross<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron,<S>6939</S> you will know<S>3045</S> for certain<S>3045</S> that you shall surely<S>4191</S> die;<S>4191</S> your blood<S>1818</S> shall be on your own head.<S>7218</S>"

Shimei<S>8096</S> then said<S>559</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> "The word<S>1697</S> is good.<S>2896</S> As my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has said,<S>1696</S> so<S>3651</S> your servant<S>5650</S> will do.<S>6213</S>" So Shimei<S>8096</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> many<S>7227</S> days.<S>3117</S>

<pb/>But it came<S>1961</S> about at the end<S>7093</S> of three<S>7969</S> years,<S>8141</S> that two<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Shimei<S>8096</S> ran<S>1272</S> away<S>1272</S> to Achish<S>397</S> son<S>1121</S> of Maacah,<S>4601</S> king<S>4428</S> of Gath.<S>1661</S> And they told<S>5046</S> Shimei,<S>8096</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> your servants<S>5650</S> are in Gath.<S>1661</S>"


text:
Then Shimei<S>8096</S> arose<S>6965</S> and saddled<S>2280</S> his donkey,<S>2543</S> and went<S>1980</S> to Gath<S>1661</S> to Achish<S>397</S> to look<S>1245</S> for his servants.<S>5650</S> And Shimei<S>8096</S> went<S>1980</S> and brought<S>935</S> his servants<S>5650</S> from Gath.<S>1661</S>


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Shimei<S>8096</S> had gone<S>1980</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Gath,<S>1661</S> and had returned.<S>7725</S>

So the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Did I not make you swear<S>7650</S> by the Lord<S>3068</S> and solemnly<S>5749</S> warn<S>5749</S> you, saying,<S>559</S> 'You will know<S>3045</S> for certain<S>3045</S> that on the day<S>3117</S> you depart<S>3318</S> and go<S>1980</S> anywhere,<S>575</S> you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>'?

text:
"Why<S>4069</S> then have you not kept<S>8104</S> the oath<S>7621</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and the command<S>4687</S> which<S>834</S> I have laid<S>6680</S> on you?"

The king<S>4428</S> also said<S>559</S> to Shimei,<S>8096</S> "You know<S>3045</S> all<S>3605</S> the evil<S>9567</S> which<S>834</S> you acknowledge<S>3045</S> in your heart,<S>3824</S> which<S>834</S> you did<S>6213</S> to my father David;<S>1</S> therefore the Lord<S>1732</S> shall return<S>3068</S> your evil<S>7725</S> on your own head.<S>9567</S>

"But King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> shall be blessed,<S>1288</S> and the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> forever.<S>5704</S> <S>5769</S>"

So the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada,<S>3077</S> and he went<S>3318</S> out and fell<S>6293</S> upon him so that he died.<S>4191</S> Thus the kingdom<S>4467</S> was established<S>3559</S> in the hands<S>3027</S> of Solomon.<S>8010</S>

<pb/>Then Solomon<S>8010</S> formed<S>2859</S> a marriage<S>2859</S> alliance<S>2859</S> with Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt,<S>4714</S> and took<S>3947</S> Pharaoh's daughter<S>1323</S> and brought<S>935</S> her to the city<S>5892</S> of David,<S>1732</S> until<S>5704</S> he had finished<S>3615</S> building<S>1129</S> his own house<S>1004</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> and the wall<S>2346</S> around<S>5439</S> Jerusalem.<S>3389</S>

The people<S>5971</S> were still<S>7534</S> sacrificing<S>2076</S> on the high<S>1116</S> places,<S>1116</S> because<S>3588</S> there was no<S>3808</S> house<S>1004</S> built<S>1129</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> until<S>5704</S> those<S>1992</S> days.<S>3117</S>

Now Solomon<S>8010</S> loved<S>157</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> walking<S>1980</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of his father David,<S>1</S> except<S>1732</S> he sacrificed<S>7534</S> and burned<S>2076</S> incense<S>6999</S> on the high<S>6999</S> places.<S>1116</S>

<pb/>And the king<S>4428</S> went<S>1980</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> there,<S>8033</S> for that was the great<S>1419</S> high<S>1116</S> place;<S>1116</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>5927</S> a thousand<S>505</S> burnt<S>5930</S> offerings<S>5930</S> on that altar.<S>4196</S>

In Gibeon<S>1391</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in a dream<S>2472</S> at night;<S>3915</S> and God<S>430</S> said,<S>559</S> "Ask<S>7592</S> what<S>4100</S> [you wish] me to give<S>5414</S> you."

Then Solomon<S>8010</S> said,<S>559</S> "Thou hast shown<S>6213</S> great<S>1419</S> lovingkindness<S>2617</S> to Thy servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father, according<S>1</S> as he walked<S>9201</S> before<S>1980</S> Thee in truth<S>6440</S> and righteousness<S>571</S> and uprightness<S>6666</S> of heart<S>3483</S> toward<S>3824</S> Thee; and Thou hast reserved<S>5973</S> for him this<S>8104</S> great<S>2088</S> lovingkindness,<S>1419</S> that Thou hast given<S>2617</S> him a son<S>5414</S> to sit<S>1121</S> on his throne,<S>3427</S> as [it is] this<S>3678</S> day.<S>2088</S>

"And now,<S>6258</S> O Lord<S>3068</S> my God,<S>430</S> Thou hast made<S>4427</S> Thy servant<S>5650</S> king<S>4427</S> in place<S>8478</S> of my father David,<S>1</S> yet I am but a little<S>1732</S> child;<S>9512</S> I do not know<S>5288</S> how to go<S>3045</S> out or come<S>3318</S> in.

behold,<S>2009</S> I have done<S>6213</S> according to your words.<S>1697</S> Behold,<S>2009</S> I have given<S>5414</S> you a wise<S>2450</S> and discerning<S>995</S> heart,<S>3820</S> so<S>834</S> that there has been<S>1961</S> no<S>3808</S> one like<S>3644</S> you before<S>6440</S> you, nor<S>3808</S> shall one like<S>3644</S> you arise<S>6965</S> after<S>310</S> you.

Then the king<S>4428</S> commanded,<S>6680</S> and they quarried<S>5265</S> great<S>1419</S> stones,<S>68</S> costly<S>3368</S> stones,<S>68</S> to lay<S>3245</S> the foundation<S>3245</S> of the house<S>1004</S> with cut<S>1496</S> stones.<S>68</S>

So Solomon's builders<S>1129</S> and Hiram's builders<S>1129</S> and the Gebalites<S>1382</S> cut<S>6458</S> them, and prepared<S>3559</S> the timbers<S>6086</S> and the stones<S>68</S> to build<S>1129</S> the house.<S>1004</S>

And against<S>5921</S> the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> he built<S>1129</S> stories<S>9195</S> encompassing<S>5439</S> the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> around<S>5439</S> both the nave<S>1964</S> and the inner<S>1687</S> sanctuary;<S>1687</S> thus he made<S>6213</S> side<S>6763</S> chambers<S>6763</S> all<S>5439</S> around.<S>5439</S>

The lowest<S>8481</S> story<S>9195</S> [was] five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> wide,<S>7341</S> and the middle<S>8484</S> [was] six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> wide,<S>7341</S> and the third<S>7992</S> [was] seven<S>7651</S> cubits<S>520</S> wide;<S>7341</S> for on the outside<S>2351</S> he made<S>5414</S> offsets<S>4052</S> [in the wall] of the house<S>1004</S> all<S>5439</S> around<S>5439</S> in order that [the beams] should not be inserted<S>270</S> in the walls<S>7023</S> of the house.<S>1004</S>


text:
And the house,<S>1004</S> while it was being built,<S>1129</S> was built<S>1129</S> of stone<S>68</S> prepared<S>8003</S> at the quarry,<S>4551</S> and there was neither<S>3808</S> hammer<S>4717</S> nor<S>3808</S> axe<S>1631</S> nor<S>3808</S> any<S>3605</S> iron<S>1270</S> tool<S>3627</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the house<S>1004</S> while it was being built.<S>1129</S>

So he built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> and finished<S>3615</S> it; and he covered<S>5603</S> the house<S>1004</S> with beams<S>9068</S> and planks<S>7713</S> of cedar.<S>730</S>

<pb/>Now the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> saying,<S>559</S>

and had commanded<S>6680</S> him concerning<S>5921</S> this<S>2088</S> thing,<S>1697</S> that he should not go<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> other<S>312</S> gods;<S>430</S> but he did not observe<S>8104</S> what<S>834</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> had commanded.<S>6680</S>


text:
So the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Solomon,<S>8010</S> "Because<S>3282</S> <S>834</S> you have done<S>1961</S> <S>5973</S> this,<S>2088</S> and you have not kept<S>8104</S> My covenant<S>1285</S> and My statutes,<S>2708</S> which<S>834</S> I have commanded<S>6680</S> you, I will surely<S>7167</S> tear<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> from you, and will give<S>5414</S> it to your servant.<S>5650</S>


text:
"Nevertheless<S>389</S> I will not do<S>6213</S> it in your days<S>3117</S> for the sake<S>4616</S> of your father David,<S>1</S> [but] I will tear<S>1732</S> it out of the hand<S>7167</S> of your son.<S>3027</S>


text:
"However,<S>7534</S> I will not tear<S>7167</S> away<S>7167</S> all<S>3605</S> the kingdom,<S>4467</S> [but] I will give<S>5414</S> one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> to your son<S>1121</S> for the sake<S>4616</S> of My servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> and for the sake<S>4616</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> which<S>834</S> I have chosen.<S>977</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then the Lord<S>3068</S> raised<S>6965</S> up an adversary<S>7854</S> to Solomon,<S>8010</S> Hadad<S>1908</S> the Edomite;<S>130</S> he was of the royal<S>4428</S> line<S>2233</S> in Edom.<S>9000</S>


text:
For it came<S>1961</S> about, when David<S>1732</S> was in Edom,<S>9000</S> and Joab<S>3097</S> the commander<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> had gone<S>5927</S> up to bury<S>6912</S> the slain,<S>2491</S> and had struck<S>5221</S> down<S>5221</S> every<S>3605</S> male<S>2145</S> in Edom<S>9000</S>


text:
(for Joab<S>3097</S> and all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> stayed<S>3427</S> there<S>8033</S> six<S>8337</S> months,<S>2320</S> until<S>5704</S> he had cut<S>3772</S> off<S>3772</S> every<S>3605</S> male<S>2145</S> in Edom<S>9000</S>),


text:
that Hadad<S>1908</S> fled<S>1272</S> to Egypt,<S>4714</S> he and certain<S>376</S> Edomites<S>130</S> of his father's servants<S>5650</S> with him, while Hadad<S>1908</S> [was] a young<S>6996</S> boy.<S>5288</S>


text:
And they arose<S>6965</S> from Midian<S>4080</S> and came<S>935</S> to Paran;<S>6290</S> and they took<S>3947</S> men<S>376</S> with them from Paran<S>6290</S> and came<S>935</S> to Egypt,<S>4714</S> to Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt,<S>4714</S> who gave<S>5414</S> him a house<S>1004</S> and assigned<S>559</S> him food<S>3899</S> and gave<S>5414</S> him land.<S>776</S>


text:
Now Hadad<S>1908</S> found<S>4672</S> great<S>3966</S> favor<S>2580</S> before<S>5869</S> Pharaoh,<S>6547</S> so that he gave<S>5414</S> him in marriage<S>802</S> the sister<S>269</S> of his own wife,<S>802</S> the sister<S>269</S> of Tahpenes<S>8472</S> the queen.<S>1377</S>


text:
And the sister<S>269</S> of Tahpenes<S>8472</S> bore<S>3205</S> his son<S>1121</S> Genubath,<S>1592</S> whom Tahpenes<S>8472</S> weaned<S>1580</S> in Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house;<S>1004</S> and Genubath<S>1592</S> was in Pharaoh's house<S>1004</S> among<S>8432</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Pharaoh.


text:
But when Hadad<S>1908</S> heard<S>8085</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S> that David<S>1732</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers, and that Joab<S>1</S> the commander<S>3097</S> of the army<S>8269</S> was dead,<S>6635</S> Hadad<S>4191</S> said<S>1908</S> to Pharaoh,<S>559</S> "Send<S>6547</S> me away,<S>7971</S> that I may go<S>7971</S> to my own country.<S>1980</S>"


text:
Then Pharaoh<S>6547</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "But what<S>4100</S> have you lacked<S>2638</S> with me, that behold,<S>2009</S> you are seeking<S>1245</S> to go<S>1980</S> to your own country<S>776</S>?" And he answered,<S>559</S> "Nothing;<S>3808</S> nevertheless<S>3588</S> you must surely<S>7971</S> let<S>7971</S> me go.<S>7971</S>"


text:
<pb/>God<S>430</S> also raised<S>6965</S> up [another] adversary<S>7854</S> to him, Rezon<S>7331</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Eliada,<S>450</S> who<S>834</S> had fled<S>1272</S> from his lord<S>113</S> Hadadezer<S>1909</S> king<S>4428</S> of Zobah.<S>6678</S>


text:
And he gathered<S>6908</S> men<S>376</S> to himself and became<S>1961</S> leader<S>8269</S> of a marauding<S>1416</S> band,<S>1416</S> after David<S>1732</S> slew<S>2026</S> them of [Zobah;] and they went<S>1980</S> to Damascus<S>1834</S> and stayed<S>3427</S> there, and reigned<S>4427</S> in Damascus.<S>1834</S>


text:
So he was an adversary<S>7854</S> to Israel<S>3478</S> all<S>3605</S> the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon,<S>8010</S> along with the evil<S>9567</S> that Hadad<S>1908</S> [did;] and he abhorred<S>6973</S> Israel<S>3478</S> and reigned<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Aram.<S>758</S>


text:
<pb/>Then Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat,<S>5028</S> an Ephraimite<S>673</S> of Zeredah,<S>6868</S> Solomon's servant,<S>5650</S> whose mother's name<S>8034</S> was Zeruah,<S>6871</S> a widow,<S>490</S> also rebelled<S>7311</S> <S>3027</S> against the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
Now this<S>2088</S> was the reason<S>1697</S> why<S>834</S> he rebelled<S>7311</S> <S>3027</S> against the king:<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> the Millo,<S>4407</S> [and] closed<S>5462</S> up the breach<S>6556</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of his father David.<S>1</S>


text:
Now the man<S>376</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> was a valiant<S>2428</S> warrior,<S>1368</S> and when Solomon<S>8010</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the young<S>5288</S> man<S>5288</S> was industrious,<S>4399</S> <S>6213</S> he appointed<S>6485</S> him over all<S>3605</S> the forced<S>5447</S> labor<S>5447</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph.<S>3130</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about at that time,<S>6256</S> when Jeroboam<S>3379</S> went<S>3318</S> out of Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> that the prophet<S>5030</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> found<S>4672</S> him on the road.<S>1870</S> Now Ahijah had clothed<S>3680</S> himself with a new<S>2319</S> cloak;<S>8008</S> and both<S>8147</S> of them were alone<S>905</S> in the field.<S>7704</S>


text:
Then Ahijah<S>281</S> took<S>8610</S> hold<S>8610</S> of the new<S>2319</S> cloak<S>8008</S> which<S>834</S> was on him, and tore<S>7167</S> it into twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> pieces.<S>7168</S>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to Jeroboam,<S>3379</S> "Take<S>3947</S> for yourself ten<S>6235</S> pieces;<S>7168</S> for thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> 'Behold,<S>2009</S> I will tear<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> and give<S>5414</S> you ten<S>6235</S> tribes<S>7626</S>

Solomon<S>8010</S> sought<S>1245</S> therefore to put<S>4191</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> to death;<S>4191</S> but Jeroboam<S>3379</S> arose<S>6965</S> and fled<S>1272</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S> to Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt,<S>4714</S> and he was in Egypt<S>4714</S> until<S>5704</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Solomon.<S>8010</S>

Thus the time<S>3117</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> over<S>5921</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> was forty<S>705</S> years.<S>8141</S>

And Solomon<S>8010</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers and was buried<S>1</S> in the city<S>6912</S> of his father David,<S>5892</S> and his son<S>1</S> Rehoboam<S>1732</S> reigned<S>1121</S> in his place.<S>7346</S>

Now it came<S>1961</S> about when Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> heard<S>8085</S> [of it,] that he was living<S>3427</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S> (for he was yet<S>5750</S> in Egypt,<S>4714</S> where<S>834</S> he had fled<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>).

Then they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him, and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all<S>3605</S> the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> and spoke<S>1696</S> to Rehoboam,<S>7346</S> saying,<S>559</S>

"Your father made<S>1</S> our yoke<S>7185</S> hard;<S>5923</S> now<S>7185</S> therefore lighten<S>6258</S> the hard<S>7043</S> service<S>7186</S> of your father and his heavy<S>5656</S> yoke<S>1</S> which<S>3515</S> he put<S>5923</S> on us, and we will serve<S>834</S> you."

Then he said<S>559</S> to them, "Depart<S>1980</S> for three<S>7969</S> days,<S>3117</S> then return<S>7725</S> to me." So the people<S>5971</S> departed.<S>1980</S>

<pb/>And King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> consulted<S>3289</S> with the elders<S>2205</S> who<S>834</S> had<S>1961</S> served<S>5975</S> <S>6440</S> his father Solomon<S>1</S> while he was still alive,<S>8010</S> saying,<S>2416</S> "How<S>559</S> do you counsel<S>349</S> [me] to answer<S>3289</S> <S>7725</S> this<S>1697</S> people<S>2088</S>?"

But he forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the elders<S>2205</S> which<S>834</S> they had given<S>3289</S> him, and consulted<S>3289</S> with the young<S>3206</S> men<S>3206</S> who<S>834</S> grew<S>1431</S> up with him and served<S>5975</S> <S>6440</S> him.

So he said<S>559</S> to them, "What<S>4100</S> counsel<S>3289</S> do you give<S>3289</S> that we may answer<S>7725</S> <S>1697</S> this<S>2088</S> people<S>5971</S> who<S>834</S> have spoken<S>1696</S> to me, saying,<S>559</S> 'Lighten<S>7043</S> the yoke<S>5923</S> which<S>834</S> your father put<S>1</S> on us'?"

and he spoke<S>1696</S> to them according to the advice<S>6098</S> of the young<S>3206</S> men,<S>3206</S> saying,<S>559</S> "My father made<S>1</S> your yoke<S>3513</S> heavy,<S>5923</S> but I will add<S>3513</S> to your yoke;<S>3254</S> my father disciplined<S>5923</S> you with whips,<S>1</S> but I will discipline<S>3256</S> you with scorpions.<S>7752</S>"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> did not listen<S>8085</S> to the people;<S>5971</S> for it was a turn<S>5438</S> [of events] from the Lord,<S>3068</S> that He might establish<S>6965</S> His word,<S>1697</S> which<S>834</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> through<S>3027</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat.<S>5028</S>


text:
<pb/>When all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> [saw] that the king<S>4428</S> did not listen<S>8085</S> to them, the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>7725</S> the king,<S>4428</S> saying,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> portion<S>2506</S> do we have in David<S>1732</S>? [We have] no<S>3808</S> inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse;<S>3448</S> To your tents,<S>168</S> O Israel!<S>3478</S> Now<S>6258</S> look<S>7200</S> after your own house,<S>1004</S> David!<S>1732</S>" So Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>1980</S> to their tents.<S>168</S>


text:
But as for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> them.


text:
Then King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> sent<S>7971</S> Adoram,<S>151</S> who<S>834</S> was over<S>5921</S> the forced<S>4522</S> labor,<S>4522</S> and all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him to death.<S>4191</S> And King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>553</S> haste<S>553</S> to mount<S>5927</S> his chariot<S>4818</S> to flee<S>5127</S> to Jerusalem.<S>3389</S>


text:
So Israel<S>3478</S> has been in rebellion<S>6586</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> to this<S>2088</S> day.<S>3117</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> had returned,<S>7725</S> that they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him to the assembly<S>5712</S> and made<S>4427</S> him king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel.<S>3478</S> None<S>3808</S> but the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> followed<S>310</S> the house<S>1004</S> of David.<S>1732</S>


text:
<pb/>Now when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> had come<S>935</S> to Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> he assembled<S>6950</S> all<S>3605</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin,<S>1144</S> 180,000 chosen<S>977</S> men who were warriors,<S>4421</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against<S>5973</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to restore<S>7725</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon.<S>8010</S>


text:
But the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>1961</S> to Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> saying,<S>559</S>


text:
"Speak<S>559</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon,<S>8010</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and to all<S>3605</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S> and to the rest<S>3499</S> of the people,<S>5971</S> saying,<S>559</S>


text:
'Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> "You must not go<S>5927</S> up and fight<S>3898</S> against<S>5973</S> your relatives<S>251</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel;<S>3478</S> return<S>7725</S> every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> to his house,<S>1004</S> for this<S>2088</S> thing<S>1697</S> has come<S>1961</S> from Me."' "So they listened<S>8085</S> to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and returned<S>7725</S> and went<S>1980</S> [their way] according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
Then Jeroboam<S>3379</S> built<S>1129</S> Shechem<S>7927</S> in the hill<S>2022</S> country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim,<S>669</S> and lived<S>3427</S> there. And he went<S>3318</S> out from there<S>8033</S> and built<S>1129</S> Penuel.<S>6439</S>


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart,<S>3820</S> "Now<S>6258</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> will return<S>7725</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of David.<S>1732</S>


text:
"If<S>518</S> this<S>2088</S> people<S>5971</S> go<S>5927</S> up to offer<S>6213</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> then the heart<S>3820</S> of this<S>2088</S> people<S>5971</S> will return<S>7725</S> to their lord,<S>113</S> [even] to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah;<S>3063</S> and they will kill<S>2026</S> me and return<S>7725</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah.<S>3063</S>"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> consulted,<S>3289</S> and made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> golden<S>2091</S> calves,<S>5695</S> and he said<S>559</S> to them, "It is too<S>4480</S> much<S>7227</S> for you to go<S>5927</S> up to Jerusalem;<S>3389</S> behold<S>2009</S> your gods,<S>430</S> O Israel,<S>3478</S> that brought<S>5927</S> you up from the land<S>776</S> of Egypt.<S>4714</S>"


text:
And he set<S>7760</S> one<S>259</S> in Bethel,<S>1008</S> and the other<S>259</S> he put<S>5414</S> in Dan.<S>1835</S>


text:
Now this<S>2088</S> thing<S>1697</S> became<S>1961</S> a sin,<S>9128</S> for the people<S>5971</S> went<S>1980</S> [to worship] before<S>6440</S> the one<S>259</S> as far<S>5704</S> as Dan.<S>1835</S>


text:
<pb/>And he made<S>6213</S> houses<S>1004</S> on high<S>1116</S> places,<S>1116</S> and made<S>6213</S> priests<S>3548</S> from among all<S>7098</S> the people<S>5971</S> who<S>834</S> were not of the sons<S>1121</S> of Levi.<S>3878</S>


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> instituted<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S> in the eighth<S>8066</S> month<S>2320</S> on the fifteenth<S>2568</S> <S>6240</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month,<S>2320</S> like the feast<S>2282</S> which<S>834</S> is in Judah,<S>3063</S> and he went<S>5927</S> up to the altar;<S>4196</S> thus<S>3651</S> he did<S>6213</S> in Bethel,<S>1008</S> sacrificing<S>2076</S> to the calves<S>5695</S> which<S>834</S> he had made.<S>6213</S> And he stationed<S>5975</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the high<S>1116</S> places<S>1116</S> which<S>834</S> he had made.<S>6213</S>


text:
Then he went<S>5927</S> up to the altar<S>4196</S> which<S>834</S> he had made<S>6213</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S> on the fifteenth<S>2568</S> <S>6240</S> day<S>3117</S> in the eighth<S>8066</S> month,<S>2320</S> even in the month<S>2320</S> which<S>834</S> he had devised<S>908</S> in his own heart;<S>3820</S> and he instituted<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and went<S>5927</S> up to the altar<S>4196</S> to burn<S>6999</S> incense.<S>6999</S>


text:
Now behold,<S>2009</S> there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> from Judah<S>3063</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> while Jeroboam<S>3379</S> was standing<S>5975</S> by the altar<S>4196</S> to burn<S>6999</S> incense.<S>6999</S>


text:
And he cried<S>7121</S> against<S>5921</S> the altar<S>4196</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "O altar,<S>4196</S> altar,<S>4196</S> thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Behold,<S>2009</S> a son<S>1121</S> shall be born<S>3205</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of David,<S>1732</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> by name;<S>8034</S> and on you he shall sacrifice<S>2076</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the high<S>1116</S> places<S>1116</S> who burn<S>6999</S> incense<S>6999</S> on you, and human<S>120</S> bones<S>6106</S> shall be burned<S>8313</S> on you.'"


text:
Then he gave<S>5414</S> a sign<S>4159</S> the same<S>1931</S> day,<S>3117</S> saying,<S>559</S> "This<S>2088</S> is the sign<S>4159</S> which<S>834</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken,<S>1696</S> 'Behold,<S>2009</S> the altar<S>4196</S> shall be split<S>7167</S> apart<S>7167</S> and the ashes<S>1880</S> which<S>834</S> are on it shall be poured<S>8210</S> out.'"


text:
Now it came<S>1961</S> about when the king<S>4428</S> heard<S>8085</S> the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> which<S>834</S> he cried<S>7121</S> against<S>5921</S> the altar<S>4196</S> in Bethel,<S>1008</S> that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> stretched<S>7971</S> out his hand<S>3027</S> from the altar,<S>4196</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Seize<S>8610</S> him." But his hand<S>3027</S> which<S>834</S> he stretched<S>7971</S> out against<S>5921</S> him dried<S>3001</S> up, so that he could<S>3201</S> not draw<S>7725</S> it back<S>7725</S> to himself.


text:
The altar<S>4196</S> also was split<S>7167</S> apart<S>7167</S> and the ashes<S>1880</S> were poured<S>8210</S> out from the altar,<S>4196</S> according to the sign<S>4159</S> which<S>834</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> "Please<S>4994</S> entreat<S>9134</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> your God,<S>430</S> and pray<S>6419</S> for me, that my hand<S>3027</S> may be restored<S>7725</S> to me." So the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> entreated<S>9134</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> and the king's hand<S>3027</S> was restored<S>7725</S> to him, and it became<S>1961</S> as it was before.<S>7223</S>


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>1696</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> "Come<S>935</S> home<S>1004</S> with me and refresh<S>5582</S> yourself, and I will give<S>5414</S> you a reward.<S>4991</S>"


text:
But the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> "If<S>518</S> you were to give<S>5414</S> me half<S>2677</S> your house<S>1004</S> I would not go<S>935</S> with you, nor<S>3808</S> would I eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> or drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in this<S>2088</S> place.<S>4725</S>


text:
"For so<S>3651</S> it was commanded<S>6680</S> me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> saying,<S>559</S> 'You shall eat<S>398</S> no<S>3808</S> bread,<S>3899</S> nor<S>3808</S> drink<S>8354</S> water,<S>4325</S> nor<S>3808</S> return<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> which<S>834</S> you came.<S>1980</S>'"


text:
So he went<S>1980</S> another<S>312</S> way,<S>1870</S> and did not return<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> which<S>834</S> he came<S>935</S> to Bethel.<S>1008</S>


text:
<pb/>Now an old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> was living<S>3427</S> in Bethel;<S>1008</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5608</S> him all<S>3605</S> the deeds<S>4639</S> which<S>834</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had done<S>6213</S> that day<S>3117</S> in Bethel;<S>1008</S> the words<S>1697</S> which<S>834</S> he had spoken<S>1696</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> these also they related<S>5608</S> to their father.


text:
And their father said<S>1</S> to them, "Which<S>1696</S> <S>335</S> way<S>2088</S> did he go<S>1870</S>?" Now his sons<S>1980</S> had seen<S>1121</S> the way<S>7200</S> which<S>1870</S> the man<S>834</S> of God<S>376</S> who<S>430</S> came<S>834</S> from Judah<S>935</S> had gone.<S>3063</S>


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to his sons,<S>1121</S> "Saddle<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for me." So they saddled<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for him and he rode<S>7392</S> away on it.


text:
So he went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> and found<S>4672</S> him sitting<S>3427</S> under<S>8478</S> an oak;<S>424</S> and he said<S>559</S> to him, "Are you the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> who<S>834</S> came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>?" And he said,<S>559</S> "I am."


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to him, "Come<S>1980</S> home<S>1004</S> with me and eat<S>398</S> bread.<S>3899</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "I cannot<S>3201</S> <S>3808</S> return<S>7725</S> with you, nor<S>3808</S> go<S>935</S> with you, nor<S>3808</S> will I eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> or drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> with you in this<S>2088</S> place.<S>4725</S>


text:
"For a command<S>1697</S> [came<S>1980</S>] to me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'You shall eat<S>398</S> no<S>3808</S> bread,<S>3899</S> nor<S>3808</S> drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> there;<S>8033</S> do not return<S>7725</S> by going<S>1980</S> the way<S>1870</S> which<S>834</S> you came.'"


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, "I also<S>1571</S> am a prophet<S>5030</S> like<S>3644</S> you, and an angel<S>4397</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> saying,<S>559</S> 'Bring<S>7725</S> him back<S>7725</S> with you to your house,<S>1004</S> that he may eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drink<S>8354</S> water.<S>4325</S>'" [But] he lied<S>3584</S> to him.


text:
So he went<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S> with him, and ate<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> in his house<S>1004</S> and drank<S>8354</S> water.<S>4325</S>


text:
<pb/>Now it came<S>1961</S> about, as they were sitting<S>3427</S> down<S>3427</S> at the table,<S>7979</S> that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> to the prophet<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> had brought<S>7725</S> him back;<S>7725</S>

Now when he had gone,<S>1980</S> a lion<S>9030</S> met<S>4672</S> him on the way<S>1870</S> and killed<S>4191</S> him, and his body<S>5038</S> was thrown<S>7993</S> on the road,<S>1870</S> with the donkey<S>2543</S> standing<S>5975</S> beside<S>681</S> it; the lion<S>9030</S> also was standing<S>5975</S> beside<S>681</S> the body.<S>5038</S>

Now when the prophet<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> brought<S>7725</S> him back<S>7725</S> from the way<S>1870</S> heard<S>8085</S> [it,] he said,<S>559</S> "It is the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> who<S>834</S> disobeyed<S>4784</S> the command<S>6310</S> of the Lord;<S>3068</S> therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> has given<S>5414</S> him to the lion,<S>9030</S> which has torn<S>7665</S> him and killed<S>4191</S> him, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which<S>834</S> He spoke<S>1696</S> to him."

Then he spoke<S>1696</S> to his sons,<S>1121</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Saddle<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for me." And they saddled<S>2280</S> [it.]

So the prophet<S>5030</S> took<S>5375</S> up the body<S>5038</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> and laid<S>5117</S> it on the donkey,<S>2543</S> and brought<S>7725</S> it back<S>7725</S> and he came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> to mourn<S>5594</S> and to bury<S>6912</S> him.

And he laid<S>5117</S> his body<S>5038</S> in his own grave,<S>6913</S> and they mourned<S>5594</S> over<S>5921</S> him, [saying,] "Alas,<S>1945</S> my brother!<S>251</S>"

At that time<S>6256</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> became<S>2470</S> sick.<S>2470</S>

He reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem;<S>3389</S> and his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom.<S>53</S>

And he walked<S>1980</S> in all<S>3605</S> the sins<S>9128</S> of his father which<S>1</S> he had committed<S>834</S> before<S>6213</S> him; and his heart<S>6440</S> was not wholly<S>3824</S> devoted<S>8003</S> to the Lord<S>8003</S> his God,<S>3068</S> like the heart<S>430</S> of his father David.<S>3824</S>


text:
But for David's sake<S>4616</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> gave<S>5414</S> him a lamp<S>9327</S> in Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> to raise<S>6965</S> up his son<S>1121</S> after<S>310</S> him and to establish<S>5975</S> Jerusalem;<S>3389</S>


text:
because<S>834</S> David<S>1732</S> did<S>6213</S> what<S>3477</S> was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and had not turned<S>5493</S> aside<S>5493</S> from anything<S>3605</S> that He commanded<S>6680</S> him all<S>3605</S> the days<S>3117</S> of his life,<S>9132</S> except<S>7534</S> in the case<S>1697</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite.<S>2850</S>

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijam<S>38</S> and all<S>3605</S> that he did,<S>6213</S> are they not written<S>3789</S> in the Book<S>5612</S> of the Chronicles<S>1697</S> <S>3117</S> of the Kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?

So in the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> Asa<S>609</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> as king<S>4428</S> of Judah.<S>3063</S>

And Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> what<S>3477</S> was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> like David<S>1732</S> his father.

He also put<S>5674</S> away<S>5674</S> the male<S>6945</S> cult<S>6945</S> prostitutes<S>6945</S> from the land,<S>776</S> and removed<S>5493</S> all<S>3605</S> the idols<S>1544</S> which<S>834</S> his fathers had made.<S>1</S>

And he also<S>1571</S> removed<S>5493</S> Maacah<S>4601</S> his mother<S>517</S> from [being] queen<S>1377</S> mother,<S>1377</S> because<S>834</S> she had made<S>6213</S> a horrid<S>4656</S> image<S>4656</S> as an Asherah;<S>842</S> and Asa<S>609</S> cut<S>3772</S> down<S>3772</S> her horrid<S>4656</S> image<S>4656</S> and burned<S>8313</S> [it] at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron.<S>6939</S>

But the high<S>1116</S> places<S>1116</S> were not taken<S>5493</S> away;<S>5493</S> nevertheless<S>7534</S> the heart<S>3824</S> of Asa<S>609</S> was wholly<S>8003</S> devoted<S>8003</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> all<S>3605</S> his days.<S>3117</S>


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> the dedicated<S>6944</S> things<S>6944</S> of his father and his own dedicated<S>1</S> things:<S>6944</S> silver<S>6944</S> and gold<S>3701</S> and utensils.<S>2091</S>

<pb/>Now there was war<S>4421</S> between<S>996</S> Asa<S>609</S> and Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> all<S>3605</S> their days.<S>3117</S>


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>5927</S> up against<S>5921</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and fortified<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S> in order to prevent<S>1115</S> <S>5414</S> [anyone] from going<S>3318</S> out or coming<S>935</S> in to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah.<S>3063</S>


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> took<S>3947</S> all<S>3605</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> which were left<S>3498</S> in the treasuries<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> and the treasuries<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house,<S>1004</S> and delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants.<S>5650</S> And King<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> sent<S>7971</S> them to Ben-hadad the son<S>1121</S> of Tabrimmon,<S>2886</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hezion,<S>2383</S> king of Aram,<S>758</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in Damascus,<S>1834</S> saying,<S>559</S>

"[Let there be] a treaty<S>1285</S> between<S>996</S> you and me, [as] between<S>996</S> my father and your father.

text:
So Ben-hadad listened<S>8085</S> to King<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> and sent<S>7971</S> the commanders<S>8269</S> of his armies<S>2428</S> against<S>5921</S> the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and conquered<S>5221</S> Ijon,<S>5859</S> Dan,<S>1835</S> Abel-beth-maacah and all<S>3605</S> Chinneroth,<S>3672</S> besides<S>5921</S> all<S>3605</S> the land<S>776</S> of Naphtali.<S>5321</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when Baasha<S>1201</S> heard<S>8085</S> [of it] that he ceased<S>2308</S> fortifying<S>1129</S> Ramah,<S>7414</S> and remained<S>3427</S> in Tirzah.<S>8656</S>


text:
Then King<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> made<S>8085</S> a proclamation<S>8085</S> to all<S>3605</S> Judah<S>3063</S> – none<S>369</S> was exempt<S>9345</S> – and they carried<S>5375</S> away the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S> and its timber<S>6086</S> with which<S>834</S> Baasha<S>1201</S> had built.<S>1129</S> And King<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> built<S>1129</S> with them Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> and Mizpah.<S>4709</S>

And Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers and was buried<S>1</S> with his fathers in the city<S>6912</S> of David<S>1</S> his father; and Jehoshaphat<S>5892</S> his son<S>1732</S> reigned<S>1</S> in his place.<S>3092</S>


text:
Now Nadab<S>5070</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> became<S>4427</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and he reigned<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> two<S>8147</S> years.<S>8141</S>

And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and walked<S>1980</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father and in his sin<S>1</S> which<S>9128</S> he made Israel<S>834</S> sin.<S>3478</S>

And the people<S>5971</S> who were camped<S>2583</S> heard<S>8085</S> it said,<S>559</S> "Zimri<S>2174</S> has conspired<S>7194</S> and has also<S>1571</S> struck<S>5221</S> down<S>5221</S> the king.<S>4428</S>" Therefore all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> made<S>4427</S> Omri,<S>6018</S> the commander<S>8269</S> of the army,<S>6635</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S> in the camp.<S>4264</S>

Then Omri<S>6018</S> and all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> with him went<S>5927</S> up from Gibbethon,<S>1405</S> and they besieged<S>6696</S> <S>5921</S> Tirzah.<S>8656</S>

And Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and acted<S>7489</S> more<S>4480</S> wickedly<S>7489</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> who<S>834</S> [were] before<S>6440</S> him.

So Omri<S>6018</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers, and was buried<S>1</S> in Samaria;<S>6912</S> and Ahab<S>8111</S> his son<S>256</S> became<S>1121</S> king<S>4427</S> in his place.<S>4427</S>

Now Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> became<S>4427</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in the thirty-eighth year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> twenty-two years.<S>8141</S>

And it came<S>1961</S> about, as though it had been a trivial<S>7043</S> thing<S>7043</S> for him to walk<S>1980</S> in the sins<S>9128</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat,<S>5028</S> that he married<S>3947</S> <S>802</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ethbaal<S>856</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Sidonians,<S>6722</S> and went<S>1980</S> to serve<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S> and worshiped<S>7812</S> him.


text:
So he erected<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Baal,<S>1168</S> which<S>834</S> he built<S>1129</S> in Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> also made<S>6213</S> the Asherah.<S>842</S> Thus Ahab<S>256</S> did<S>6213</S> more<S>3254</S> to provoke<S>3707</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who<S>834</S> were before<S>6440</S> him.

text:
<pb/>Now Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite,<S>8664</S> who was of the settlers<S>8453</S> of Gilead,<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab,<S>256</S> "As the Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lives,<S>2416</S> before<S>6440</S> whom<S>834</S> I stand,<S>5975</S> surely<S>518</S> there shall be neither<S>518</S> dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> these<S>428</S> years,<S>8141</S> except<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> by my word.<S>6310</S>"

"Go<S>1980</S> away from here<S>2088</S> and turn<S>6437</S> eastward,<S>9506</S> and hide<S>5641</S> yourself by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith,<S>3747</S> which<S>834</S> is east<S>5921</S> <S>6440</S> of the Jordan.<S>3383</S>

So he went<S>1980</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> for he went<S>1980</S> and lived<S>3427</S> by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith,<S>3747</S> which<S>834</S> is east<S>5921</S> <S>6440</S> of the Jordan.<S>3383</S>

And the ravens<S>6158</S> brought<S>935</S> him bread<S>3899</S> and meat<S>1320</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> and bread<S>3899</S> and meat<S>1320</S> in the evening,<S>6153</S> and he would drink<S>8354</S> from the brook.<S>5158</S>

"Arise,<S>6965</S> go<S>1980</S> to Zarephath,<S>6886</S> which<S>834</S> belongs to Sidon,<S>6721</S> and stay<S>3427</S> there;<S>8033</S> behold,<S>2009</S> I have commanded<S>6680</S> a widow<S>490</S> there<S>8033</S> to provide<S>3557</S> for you."

So he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>1980</S> to Zarephath,<S>6886</S> and when he came<S>935</S> to the gate<S>6607</S> of the city,<S>5892</S> behold,<S>2009</S> a widow<S>490</S> was there<S>8033</S> gathering<S>9535</S> sticks;<S>6086</S> and he called<S>7121</S> to her and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> get<S>3947</S> me a little<S>4592</S> water<S>4325</S> in a jar,<S>3627</S> that I may drink.<S>8354</S>"

And as she was going<S>1980</S> to get<S>3947</S> [it,] he called<S>7121</S> to her and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> bring<S>3947</S> me a piece<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S> in your hand.<S>3027</S>"


text:
But she said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives,<S>2416</S> I have<S>3426</S> no<S>518</S> bread,<S>4580</S> only<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> a handful<S>4393</S> <S>3709</S> of flour<S>7058</S> in the bowl<S>3537</S> and a little<S>4592</S> oil<S>8081</S> in the jar;<S>6835</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> I am gathering<S>9535</S> a few<S>8147</S> sticks<S>6086</S> that I may go<S>935</S> in and prepare<S>6213</S> for me and my son,<S>1121</S> that we may eat<S>398</S> it and die.<S>4191</S>"

Then Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to her, "Do not fear;<S>3372</S> go,<S>935</S> do<S>6213</S> as you have said,<S>1697</S> but make<S>6213</S> me a little<S>6996</S> bread<S>5692</S> cake<S>5692</S> from it first,<S>7223</S> and bring<S>3318</S> [it] out to me, and afterward<S>314</S> you may make<S>6213</S> [one] for yourself and for your son.<S>1121</S>

"For thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> 'The bowl<S>3537</S> of flour<S>7058</S> shall not be exhausted,<S>3615</S> nor<S>3808</S> shall the jar<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> be empty,<S>2637</S> until<S>5704</S> the day<S>3117</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> sends<S>5414</S> rain<S>1653</S> on the face<S>6440</S> of the earth.<S>127</S>'"


text:
So she went<S>1980</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elijah,<S>452</S> and she and he and her household<S>1004</S> ate<S>398</S> for [many] days.<S>3117</S>

text:
So she said<S>559</S> to Elijah,<S>452</S> "What<S>4100</S> do I have to do with you, O man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>? You have come<S>935</S> to me to bring<S>2142</S> my iniquity<S>5771</S> to remembrance,<S>2142</S> and to put<S>4191</S> my son<S>1121</S> to death!<S>4191</S>"


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to her, "Give<S>5414</S> me your son.<S>1121</S>" Then he took<S>3947</S> him from her bosom<S>2436</S> and carried<S>5927</S> him up to the upper<S>5944</S> room<S>5944</S> where<S>834</S> <S>8033</S> he was living,<S>3427</S> and laid<S>7901</S> him on his own bed.<S>4296</S>

And he called<S>7121</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "O Lord<S>3068</S> my God,<S>430</S> hast Thou also<S>1571</S> brought<S>7489</S> calamity<S>7489</S> to the widow<S>490</S> with whom<S>834</S> I am staying,<S>1481</S> by causing her son<S>1121</S> to die<S>4191</S>?"


text:
Then he stretched<S>4058</S> himself upon the child<S>3206</S> three<S>7969</S> times,<S>6471</S> and called<S>7121</S> to the Lord,<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "O Lord<S>3068</S> my God,<S>430</S> I pray<S>4994</S> Thee, let this<S>2088</S> child's life<S>5315</S> return<S>7725</S> to him."


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> heard<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Elijah,<S>452</S> and the life<S>5315</S> of the child<S>3206</S> returned<S>7725</S> to him and he revived.<S>2421</S>

And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> the child,<S>3206</S> and brought<S>3381</S> him down<S>3381</S> from the upper<S>5944</S> room<S>5944</S> into the house<S>1004</S> and gave<S>5414</S> him to his mother;<S>517</S> and Elijah<S>452</S> said,<S>559</S> "See,<S>7200</S> your son<S>1121</S> is alive.<S>2416</S>"

Then the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah,<S>452</S> "Now<S>6258</S> I know<S>3045</S> that you are a man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> and that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in your mouth<S>6310</S> is truth.<S>571</S>"

<pb/>Now it came<S>1961</S> about [after] many<S>7227</S> days,<S>3117</S> that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> to Elijah<S>452</S> in the third<S>7992</S> year,<S>8141</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Go,<S>1980</S> show<S>7200</S> yourself to Ahab,<S>256</S> and I will send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> on the face<S>6440</S> of the earth.<S>127</S>"


text:
So Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>1980</S> to show<S>7200</S> himself to Ahab.<S>256</S> Now the famine<S>7458</S> [was] severe<S>2389</S> in Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> called<S>7121</S> Obadiah<S>5662</S> who<S>834</S> [was] over<S>5921</S> the household.<S>1004</S> (Now Obadiah<S>5662</S> feared<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> greatly;<S>3966</S>


text:
for it came<S>1961</S> about, when Jezebel<S>348</S> destroyed<S>3772</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> that Obadiah<S>5662</S> took<S>3947</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S> and hid<S>2244</S> them by fifties<S>2572</S> in a cave,<S>4631</S> and provided<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water.<S>4325</S>)


text:
Then Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Obadiah,<S>5662</S> "Go<S>1980</S> through the land<S>776</S> to all<S>3605</S> the springs<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S> and to all<S>3605</S> the valleys;<S>5158</S> perhaps<S>194</S> we will find<S>4672</S> grass<S>2682</S> and keep<S>2421</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and mules<S>6505</S> alive,<S>2421</S> and not have to kill<S>3772</S> some<S>4480</S> of the cattle.<S>929</S>"


text:
So they divided<S>2505</S> the land<S>776</S> between them to survey<S>5674</S> it; Ahab<S>256</S> went<S>1980</S> one<S>259</S> way<S>1870</S> by himself<S>905</S> and Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>1980</S> another<S>259</S> way<S>1870</S> by himself.<S>905</S>


text:
<pb/>Now as Obadiah<S>5662</S> was on the way,<S>1870</S> behold,<S>2009</S> Elijah<S>452</S> met<S>7122</S> him, and he recognized<S>5234</S> him and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Is this<S>2088</S> you, Elijah<S>452</S> my master<S>113</S>?"


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, "It is I. Go,<S>1980</S> say<S>559</S> to your master,<S>113</S> 'Behold,<S>2009</S> Elijah<S>452</S> [is here].'"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> sin<S>2398</S> have I committed,<S>2398</S> that you are giving<S>5414</S> your servant<S>5650</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahab,<S>256</S> to put<S>4191</S> me to death<S>4191</S>?


text:
"As the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives,<S>2416</S> there<S>3426</S> is no<S>518</S> nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S> where<S>834</S> <S>8033</S> my master<S>113</S> has not sent<S>7971</S> to search<S>1245</S> for you; and when they said,<S>559</S> 'He is not [here],' he made the kingdom<S>4467</S> or nation<S>1471</S> swear<S>7650</S> that they could not find<S>4672</S> you.


text:
"And now<S>6258</S> you are saying,<S>559</S> 'Go,<S>1980</S> say<S>559</S> to your master,<S>113</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> Elijah<S>452</S> [is here]. "'

"And it will come<S>1961</S> about when I leave<S>1980</S> <S>4480</S> you that the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> will carry<S>5375</S> you where<S>5921</S> <S>834</S> I do not know;<S>3045</S> so when I come<S>935</S> and tell<S>5046</S> Ahab<S>256</S> and he cannot<S>3808</S> find<S>4672</S> you, he will kill<S>2026</S> me, although [I] your servant<S>5650</S> have feared<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> from my youth.<S>5271</S>


text:
"Has it not been told<S>5046</S> to my master<S>113</S> what<S>834</S> I did<S>6213</S> when Jezebel<S>348</S> killed<S>2026</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> that I hid<S>2244</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by fifties<S>2572</S> in a cave,<S>4631</S> and provided<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>?

"And now<S>6258</S> you are saying,<S>559</S> 'Go,<S>1980</S> say<S>559</S> to your master,<S>113</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> Elijah<S>452</S> [is here] "';he will then kill<S>2026</S> me."


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> lives,<S>2416</S> before<S>6440</S> whom<S>834</S> I stand,<S>5975</S> I will surely<S>3588</S> show<S>7200</S> myself to him today.<S>3117</S>"


text:
So Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>1980</S> to meet<S>7122</S> Ahab,<S>256</S> and told<S>5046</S> him; and Ahab<S>256</S> went<S>1980</S> to meet<S>7122</S> Elijah.<S>452</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about, when Ahab<S>256</S> saw<S>7200</S> Elijah<S>452</S> that Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Is this<S>2088</S> you, you troubler<S>5916</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "I have not troubled<S>5916</S> Israel,<S>3478</S> but you and your father's house<S>1004</S> [have], because you have forsaken<S>5800</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and you have followed<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> the Baals.<S>1168</S>


text:
"Now<S>6258</S> then send<S>7971</S> [and] gather<S>6908</S> to me all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> at Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel,<S>3760</S> [together] with<S>450</S> prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> and<S>400</S> prophets<S>5030</S> of the Asherah,<S>842</S> who eat<S>398</S> at Jezebel's table.<S>7979</S>"


text:
<pb/>So Ahab<S>256</S> sent<S>7971</S> [a message] among all<S>3605</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and brought<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S> at Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel.<S>3760</S>


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> to all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> and said,<S>559</S> "How<S>4970</S> long<S>5704</S> <S>4970</S> [will] you hesitate<S>9454</S> between<S>5921</S> two<S>8147</S> opinions<S>9369</S>? If<S>518</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> is God,<S>430</S> follow<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> Him; but if<S>518</S> Baal,<S>1168</S> follow<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> him." But the people<S>5971</S> did not answer<S>6030</S> him a word.<S>1697</S>


text:
Then Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to the people,<S>5971</S> "I alone<S>905</S> am left<S>3498</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> but Baal's prophets<S>5030</S> are<S>450</S> men.<S>376</S>


text:
"Now let them give<S>5414</S> us two<S>8147</S> oxen;<S>6499</S> and let them choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> ox<S>6499</S> for themselves and cut<S>5408</S> it up, and place<S>7760</S> it on the wood,<S>6086</S> but put<S>7760</S> no<S>3808</S> fire<S>784</S> [under it]; and I will prepare<S>6213</S> the other<S>259</S> ox,<S>6499</S> and lay<S>7760</S> it on the wood,<S>6086</S> and I will not put<S>7760</S> a fire<S>784</S> [under it.]


text:
"Then you call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your god,<S>430</S> and I will call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and the God<S>430</S> who<S>834</S> answers<S>6030</S> by fire,<S>784</S> He is God.<S>430</S>" And all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "That is a good<S>2896</S> idea.<S>1697</S>"


text:
<pb/>So Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal,<S>1168</S> "Choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> ox<S>6499</S> for yourselves and prepare<S>6213</S> it first<S>7223</S> for you are many,<S>7227</S> and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your god,<S>430</S> but put<S>7760</S> no<S>3808</S> fire<S>784</S> [under it]."


text:
Then they took<S>3947</S> the ox<S>6499</S> which<S>834</S> was given<S>5414</S> them and they prepared<S>6213</S> it and called<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> from morning<S>1242</S> until<S>5704</S> noon<S>6672</S> saying,<S>559</S> "O Baal,<S>1168</S> answer<S>6030</S> us." But there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> voice<S>6963</S> and no<S>369</S> one<S>369</S> answered.<S>6030</S> And they leaped<S>9454</S> about<S>5921</S> the altar<S>4196</S> which<S>834</S> they made.<S>6213</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about at noon,<S>6672</S> that Elijah<S>452</S> mocked<S>2048</S> them and said,<S>559</S> "Call<S>7121</S> out with a loud<S>1419</S> voice,<S>6963</S> for he is a god;<S>430</S> either<S>3588</S> he is occupied<S>7879</S> or gone<S>5509</S> aside,<S>5509</S> or is on a journey,<S>1870</S> or perhaps<S>194</S> he is asleep<S>3463</S> and needs to be awakened.<S>3364</S>"


text:
So they cried<S>7121</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> and cut<S>1413</S> themselves according to their custom<S>4941</S> with swords<S>2719</S> and lances<S>7420</S> until<S>5704</S> the blood<S>1818</S> gushed<S>8210</S> out on them.


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when midday<S>6672</S> was past,<S>5674</S> that they raved<S>5012</S> until<S>5704</S> the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the [evening] sacrifice;<S>4503</S> but there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> voice,<S>6963</S> no<S>369</S> one<S>369</S> answered,<S>6030</S> and no<S>369</S> one<S>369</S> paid<S>7182</S> attention.<S>7182</S>


text:
<pb/>Then Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to all<S>3605</S> the people,<S>5971</S> "Come<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> to me." So all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> to him. And he repaired<S>7495</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which had been torn<S>2040</S> down.<S>2040</S>


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> stones<S>68</S> according to the number<S>4557</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jacob,<S>3290</S> to whom<S>834</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had come,<S>1961</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Israel<S>3478</S> shall be your name.<S>8034</S>"


text:
So with the stones<S>68</S> he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and he made<S>6213</S> a trench<S>8585</S> around<S>5439</S> the altar,<S>4196</S> large<S>1004</S> enough to hold<S>1004</S> two measures<S>5429</S> of seed.<S>2233</S>


text:
Then he arranged<S>6186</S> the wood<S>6086</S> and cut<S>5408</S> the ox<S>6499</S> in pieces<S>5408</S> and laid<S>7760</S> [it] on the wood.<S>6086</S> And he said,<S>559</S> "Fill<S>4390</S> four<S>702</S> pitchers<S>3537</S> with water<S>4325</S> and pour<S>3332</S> [it] on the burnt<S>5930</S> offering<S>5930</S> and on the wood.<S>6086</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Do<S>8138</S> it a second<S>8138</S> time,<S>8138</S>" and they did<S>8138</S> it a second<S>8138</S> time.<S>8138</S> And he said,<S>559</S> "Do<S>8027</S> it a third<S>8027</S> time,<S>8027</S>" and they did<S>8027</S> it a third<S>8027</S> time.<S>8027</S>


text:
And the water<S>4325</S> flowed<S>1980</S> around<S>5439</S> the altar,<S>4196</S> and he also<S>1571</S> filled<S>4390</S> the trench<S>8585</S> with water.<S>4325</S>


text:
Then it came<S>1961</S> about at the time<S>3117</S> of the offering<S>5927</S> of the [evening] sacrifice,<S>4503</S> that Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> and said,<S>559</S> "O Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of Abraham,<S>85</S> Isaac<S>3327</S> and Israel,<S>3478</S> today<S>3117</S> let it be known<S>3045</S> that Thou art God<S>430</S> in Israel,<S>3478</S> and that I am Thy servant,<S>5650</S> and that I have done<S>6213</S> all<S>3605</S> these<S>428</S> things<S>1697</S> at Thy word.<S>1697</S>


text:
"Answer<S>6030</S> me, O Lord,<S>3068</S> answer<S>6030</S> me, that this<S>2088</S> people<S>5971</S> may know<S>3045</S> that Thou, O Lord,<S>3068</S> art God,<S>430</S> and [that] Thou hast turned<S>5437</S> their heart<S>3820</S> back<S>322</S> again.<S>322</S>"


text:
Then the fire<S>784</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> fell,<S>5307</S> and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt<S>5930</S> offering<S>5930</S> and the wood<S>6086</S> and the stones<S>68</S> and the dust,<S>6083</S> and licked<S>3897</S> up the water<S>4325</S> that was in the trench.<S>8585</S>


text:
And when all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> it, they fell<S>5307</S> on their faces;<S>6440</S> and they said,<S>559</S> "The Lord,<S>3068</S> He is God;<S>430</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> He is God.<S>430</S>"


text:
Then Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to them, "Seize<S>8610</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal;<S>1168</S> do not let one<S>376</S> of them escape.<S>4422</S>" So they seized<S>8610</S> them; and Elijah<S>452</S> brought<S>3381</S> them down<S>3381</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kishon,<S>7028</S> and slew<S>7819</S> them there.<S>8033</S>


text:
<pb/>Now Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab,<S>256</S> "Go<S>5927</S> up, eat<S>398</S> and drink;<S>8354</S> for there is the sound<S>6963</S> of the roar<S>1995</S> of a [heavy] shower.<S>1653</S>"


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> went<S>5927</S> up to eat<S>398</S> and drink.<S>8354</S> But Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>5927</S> up to the top<S>7218</S> of Carmel;<S>3760</S> and he crouched<S>1457</S> down<S>1457</S> on the earth,<S>776</S> and put<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> between<S>996</S> his knees.<S>1290</S>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to his servant,<S>5288</S> "Go<S>5927</S> up now,<S>4994</S> look<S>5027</S> toward<S>1870</S> the sea.<S>3220</S>" So he went<S>5927</S> up and looked<S>5027</S> and said,<S>559</S> "There<S>369</S> is nothing.<S>369</S> <S>3972</S>" And he said,<S>559</S> "Go<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S>" seven<S>7651</S> times.<S>6471</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about at the seventh<S>7637</S> [time,] that he said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> a cloud<S>5645</S> as small<S>6996</S> as a man's hand<S>3709</S> is coming<S>5927</S> up from the sea.<S>3220</S>" And he said,<S>559</S> "Go<S>5927</S> up, say<S>559</S> to Ahab,<S>256</S> 'Prepare<S>631</S> [your chariot] and go<S>3381</S> down,<S>3381</S> so that the [heavy] shower<S>1653</S> does not stop<S>6113</S> you.'"

So it came<S>1961</S> about in a little<S>5704</S> <S>3541</S> while,<S>5704</S> <S>3541</S> that the sky<S>8064</S> grew<S>6937</S> black<S>6937</S> with clouds<S>5645</S> and wind,<S>7307</S> and there was a heavy<S>1419</S> shower.<S>1653</S> And Ahab<S>256</S> rode<S>7392</S> and went<S>1980</S> to Jezreel.<S>3157</S>

Then the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was on Elijah,<S>452</S> and he girded<S>8151</S> up his loins<S>4975</S> and outran<S>7323</S> <S>6440</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to Jezreel.<S>3157</S>


text:
<pb/>Now Ahab<S>256</S> told<S>5046</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> all<S>3605</S> that Elijah<S>452</S> had done,<S>6213</S> and how<S>834</S> he had killed<S>2026</S> all<S>3605</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword.<S>2719</S>


text:
Then Jezebel<S>348</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> to Elijah,<S>452</S> saying,<S>559</S> "So<S>3541</S> may the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> to me and even<S>3541</S> more,<S>3254</S> if<S>3588</S> I do not make<S>7760</S> your life<S>5315</S> as the life<S>5315</S> of one<S>259</S> of them by tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time.<S>6256</S>"


text:
<pb/>And he was afraid<S>3372</S> and arose<S>6965</S> and ran<S>1980</S> for his life<S>5315</S> and came<S>935</S> to Beersheba,<S>884</S> which<S>834</S> belongs to Judah,<S>3063</S> and left<S>5117</S> his servant<S>5288</S> there.<S>8033</S>


text:
But he himself<S>1931</S> went<S>1980</S> a day's journey<S>1870</S> into the wilderness,<S>4057</S> and came<S>935</S> and sat<S>3427</S> down<S>3427</S> under<S>8478</S> a juniper<S>7574</S> tree;<S>7574</S> and he requested<S>7592</S> for himself<S>5315</S> that he might die,<S>4191</S> and said,<S>559</S> "It is enough;<S>7227</S> now,<S>6258</S> O Lord,<S>3068</S> take<S>3947</S> my life,<S>5315</S> for I am not better<S>2896</S> than<S>4480</S> my fathers."


text:
And he lay<S>7901</S> down<S>7901</S> and slept<S>3462</S> under<S>8478</S> a juniper<S>7574</S> tree;<S>7574</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> there<S>2088</S> was an angel<S>4397</S> touching<S>5060</S> him, and he said<S>559</S> to him, "Arise,<S>6965</S> eat.<S>398</S>"


text:
Then he looked<S>5027</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> there was at his head<S>4763</S> a bread<S>5692</S> cake<S>5692</S> [baked on] hot<S>9574</S> stones,<S>9574</S> and a jar<S>6835</S> of water.<S>4325</S> So he ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S> and lay<S>7901</S> down<S>7901</S> again.<S>7725</S>


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>7725</S> again<S>7725</S> a second<S>8145</S> time<S>8145</S> and touched<S>5060</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "Arise,<S>6965</S> eat,<S>398</S> because<S>3588</S> the journey<S>1870</S> is too<S>4480</S> great<S>7227</S> for you."


text:
So he arose<S>6965</S> and ate<S>398</S> and drank,<S>8354</S> and went<S>1980</S> in the strength<S>3581</S> of that food<S>396</S> forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S> and forty<S>705</S> nights<S>3915</S> to Horeb,<S>2722</S> the mountain<S>2022</S> of God.<S>430</S>


text:
<pb/>Then he came<S>935</S> there<S>8033</S> to a cave,<S>4631</S> and lodged<S>3885</S> there;<S>8033</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> [came] to him, and He said<S>559</S> to him, "What<S>4100</S> are you doing here,<S>6311</S> Elijah<S>452</S>?"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "I have been<S>7065</S> very<S>7065</S> zealous<S>7065</S> for the Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of hosts;<S>6635</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> Thy covenant,<S>1285</S> torn<S>2040</S> down<S>2040</S> Thine altars<S>4196</S> and killed<S>2026</S> Thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword.<S>2719</S> And I alone<S>905</S> am left;<S>3498</S> and they seek<S>1245</S> my life,<S>5315</S> to take<S>3947</S> it away."


text:
So He said,<S>559</S> "Go<S>3318</S> forth,<S>3318</S> and stand<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord.<S>3068</S>" And behold,<S>2009</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> was passing<S>5674</S> by! And a great<S>1419</S> and strong<S>2389</S> wind<S>7307</S> was rending<S>6561</S> the mountains<S>2022</S> and breaking<S>7665</S> in pieces<S>7665</S> the rocks<S>5553</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord;<S>3068</S> [but] the Lord<S>3068</S> [was] not in the wind.<S>7307</S> And after<S>310</S> the wind<S>7307</S> an earthquake,<S>7494</S> [but] the Lord<S>3068</S> [was] not in the earthquake.<S>7494</S>


text:
And after<S>310</S> the earthquake<S>7494</S> a fire,<S>784</S> [but] the Lord<S>3068</S> [was] not in the fire;<S>784</S> and after<S>310</S> the fire<S>784</S> a sound<S>6963</S> of a gentle<S>1851</S> blowing.<S>1851</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when Elijah<S>452</S> heard<S>8085</S> [it,] that he wrapped<S>3874</S> his face<S>6440</S> in his mantle,<S>155</S> and went<S>3318</S> out and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the cave.<S>4631</S> And behold,<S>2009</S> a voice<S>6963</S> [came] to him and said,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> are you doing here,<S>6311</S> Elijah<S>452</S>?"


text:
Then he said,<S>559</S> "I have been<S>7065</S> very<S>7065</S> zealous<S>7065</S> for the Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of hosts;<S>6635</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> Thy covenant,<S>1285</S> torn<S>2040</S> down<S>2040</S> Thine altars<S>4196</S> and killed<S>2026</S> Thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword.<S>2719</S> And I alone<S>905</S> am left;<S>3498</S> and they seek<S>1245</S> my life,<S>5315</S> to take<S>3947</S> it away."


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Go,<S>1980</S> return<S>7725</S> on your way<S>1870</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Damascus,<S>1834</S> and when you have arrived,<S>935</S> you shall anoint<S>4886</S> Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> over<S>5921</S> Aram;<S>758</S>


text:
and Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> you shall anoint<S>4886</S> king<S>4428</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel;<S>3478</S> and Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> of Abel-meholah you shall anoint<S>4886</S> as prophet<S>5030</S> in your place.<S>8478</S>


text:
"And it shall come<S>1961</S> about, the one who escapes<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Hazael,<S>2371</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> shall put<S>4191</S> to death,<S>4191</S> and the one who escapes<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Jehu,<S>3058</S> Elisha<S>477</S> shall put<S>4191</S> to death.<S>4191</S>


text:
"Yet I will leave<S>7604</S> 7,000 in Israel,<S>3478</S> all<S>3605</S> the knees<S>1290</S> that have not bowed<S>3766</S> to Baal<S>1168</S> and every<S>3605</S> mouth<S>6310</S> that has not kissed<S>5401</S> him."


text:
<pb/>So he departed<S>1980</S> from there<S>8033</S> and found<S>4672</S> Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat,<S>8202</S> while he was plowing<S>9177</S> with twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> pairs<S>6776</S> [of oxen] before<S>6440</S> him, and he with the twelfth.<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> And Elijah<S>452</S> passed<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> to him and threw<S>7993</S> his mantle<S>155</S> on him.


text:
And he left<S>5800</S> the oxen<S>1241</S> and ran<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> let me kiss<S>5401</S> my father and my mother,<S>1</S> then I will follow<S>517</S> <S>1980</S> you." And he said<S>310</S> to him, "Go<S>559</S> back<S>1980</S> again,<S>7725</S> for what<S>7725</S> have I done<S>4100</S> to you?"


text:
So he returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> him, and took<S>3947</S> the pair<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S> and sacrificed<S>2076</S> them and boiled<S>1310</S> their flesh<S>1320</S> with the implements<S>3627</S> of the oxen,<S>1241</S> and gave<S>5414</S> [it] to the people<S>5971</S> and they ate.<S>398</S> Then he arose<S>6965</S> and followed<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S> and ministered<S>8334</S> to him.


text:
<pb/>Now Ben-hadad king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all<S>3605</S> his army,<S>2428</S> and there [were] thirty-two kings<S>4428</S> with him, and horses<S>5483</S> and chariots.<S>7393</S> And he went<S>5927</S> up and besieged<S>6696</S> <S>5921</S> Samaria,<S>8111</S> and fought<S>3898</S> against it.


text:
Then he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the city<S>5892</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> Ben-hadad,


text:
'Your silver<S>3701</S> and your gold<S>2091</S> are mine; your most beautiful<S>2896</S> wives<S>802</S> and children<S>1121</S> are also mine.' "


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "It is according to your word,<S>1697</S> my lord,<S>113</S> O king;<S>4428</S> I am yours, and all<S>3605</S> that I have."


text:
<pb/>Then the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> Ben-hadad, 'Surely,<S>3588</S> I sent<S>7971</S> to you saying,<S>559</S> "You shall give<S>5414</S> me your silver<S>3701</S> and your gold<S>2091</S> and your wives<S>802</S> and your children,<S>1121</S> "


text:
but about this time<S>6256</S> tomorrow<S>4279</S> I will send<S>7971</S> my servants<S>5650</S> to you, and they will search<S>2664</S> your house<S>1004</S> and the houses<S>1004</S> of your servants;<S>5650</S> and it shall come<S>1961</S> about, whatever<S>3605</S> is desirable<S>4261</S> in your eyes,<S>5869</S> they will take<S>7760</S> in their hand<S>3027</S> and carry<S>3947</S> away.' "


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> all<S>3605</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of the land<S>776</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> observe<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> how<S>3588</S> this<S>2088</S> man is looking<S>1245</S> for trouble;<S>9567</S> for he sent<S>7971</S> to me for my wives<S>802</S> and my children<S>1121</S> and my silver<S>3701</S> and my gold,<S>2091</S> and I did not refuse<S>4513</S> him."


text:
And all<S>3605</S> the elders<S>2205</S> and all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Do not listen<S>8085</S> or consent.<S>14</S>"


text:
So he said<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> of Ben-hadad, "Tell<S>559</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king,<S>4428</S> 'All<S>3605</S> that you sent<S>7971</S> for to your servant<S>5650</S> at the first<S>7223</S> I will do,<S>6213</S> but this<S>2088</S> thing<S>1697</S> I cannot<S>3201</S> <S>3808</S> do.<S>6213</S>'" And the messengers<S>4397</S> departed<S>1980</S> and brought<S>7725</S> him word<S>1697</S> again.<S>7725</S>


text:
<pb/>And Ben-hadad sent<S>7971</S> to him and said,<S>559</S> "May the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> to me and more<S>3254</S> also,<S>3541</S> if<S>518</S> the dust<S>6083</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> shall suffice<S>9628</S> for handfuls<S>8168</S> for all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> who<S>834</S> follow<S>7272</S> me."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Tell<S>1696</S> [him,] 'Let not him who girds<S>2296</S> on [his armor] boast<S>1984</S> like him who takes<S>6605</S> [it] off.<S>6605</S>'"


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when [Ben-hadad] heard<S>8085</S> this<S>2088</S> message,<S>1697</S> as he was drinking<S>8354</S> with the kings<S>4428</S> in the temporary<S>5521</S> shelters,<S>5521</S> that he said<S>559</S> to his servants,<S>5650</S> "Station<S>7760</S> [yourselves]." So they stationed<S>7760</S> [themselves] against<S>5921</S> the city.<S>5892</S>


text:
Now behold,<S>2009</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> approached<S>5066</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Have you seen<S>7200</S> all<S>3605</S> this<S>2088</S> great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S>? Behold,<S>2009</S> I will deliver<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S> today,<S>3117</S> and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am the Lord.<S>3068</S>'"


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said,<S>559</S> "By whom<S>4310</S>?" So he said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'By the young<S>5288</S> men<S>5288</S> of the rulers<S>8269</S> of the provinces.<S>4082</S>'" Then he said,<S>559</S> "Who<S>4310</S> shall begin<S>631</S> the battle<S>4421</S>?" And he answered,<S>559</S> "You."


text:
<pb/>Then he mustered<S>6485</S> the young<S>5288</S> men<S>5288</S> of the rulers<S>8269</S> of the provinces,<S>4082</S> and there were 232; and after<S>310</S> them he mustered<S>6485</S> all<S>3605</S> the people,<S>5971</S> [even] all<S>3605</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> 7,000.


text:
And they went<S>3318</S> out at noon,<S>6672</S> while Ben-hadad was drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the temporary<S>5521</S> shelters<S>5521</S> with the thirty-two kings<S>4428</S> who helped<S>5826</S> him.


text:
And the young<S>5288</S> men<S>5288</S> of the rulers<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> went<S>3318</S> out first;<S>7223</S> and Ben-hadad sent<S>7971</S> out and they told<S>5046</S> him, saying,<S>559</S> "Men<S>376</S> have come<S>3318</S> out from Samaria.<S>8111</S>"


text:
Then he said,<S>559</S> "If<S>518</S> they have come<S>3318</S> out for peace,<S>7965</S> take<S>8610</S> them alive;<S>2416</S> or if<S>518</S> they have come<S>3318</S> out for war,<S>4421</S> take<S>8610</S> them alive.<S>2416</S>"


text:
So these<S>428</S> went<S>3318</S> out from the city,<S>5892</S> the young<S>5288</S> men<S>5288</S> of the rulers<S>8269</S> of the provinces,<S>4082</S> and the army<S>2428</S> which<S>834</S> followed<S>310</S> them.


text:
And they killed<S>5221</S> each<S>376</S> his man;<S>376</S> and the Arameans<S>758</S> fled,<S>5127</S> and Israel<S>3478</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them, and Ben-hadad king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> on a horse<S>5483</S> with horsemen.<S>6571</S>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3318</S> out and struck<S>5221</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and chariots,<S>7393</S> and killed<S>5221</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter.<S>4347</S>


text:
Then the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Go,<S>1980</S> strengthen<S>2388</S> yourself and observe<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> what<S>834</S> you have to do;<S>6213</S> for at the turn<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> will come<S>5927</S> up against<S>5921</S> you."

Now the servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Their gods<S>430</S> are gods<S>430</S> of the mountains,<S>2022</S> therefore<S>5921</S> <S>3651</S> they were stronger<S>2388</S> than<S>4480</S> we; but rather<S>199</S> let us fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain,<S>4334</S> [and] surely<S>518</S> <S>3808</S> we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than<S>4480</S> they.

"And do<S>6213</S> this<S>2088</S> thing:<S>1697</S> remove<S>5493</S> the kings,<S>4428</S> each<S>376</S> from his place,<S>4725</S> and put<S>7760</S> captains<S>6346</S> in their place,<S>8478</S>

and muster<S>4487</S> an army<S>2428</S> like the army<S>2428</S> that you have lost,<S>5307</S> horse<S>5483</S> for horse,<S>5483</S> and chariot<S>7393</S> for chariot.<S>7393</S> Then we will fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain,<S>4334</S> and surely<S>518</S> <S>3808</S> we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than<S>4480</S> they. "And he listened<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>6963</S> and did<S>6213</S> so.<S>3651</S>


text:
<pb/>So it came<S>1961</S> about at the turn<S>8666</S> of the year,<S>8141</S> that Ben-hadad mustered<S>6485</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> and went<S>5927</S> up to Aphek<S>663</S> to fight<S>4421</S> against<S>5973</S> Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were mustered<S>6485</S> and were provisioned<S>3557</S> and went<S>1980</S> to meet<S>7122</S> them; and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> camped<S>2583</S> before<S>5048</S> them like two<S>8147</S> little<S>2835</S> flocks<S>2835</S> of goats,<S>5795</S> but the Arameans<S>758</S> filled<S>4390</S> the country.<S>776</S>


text:
Then a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> and spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Because<S>3282</S> <S>834</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> have said,<S>559</S> "The Lord<S>3068</S> is a god<S>430</S> of [the] mountains,<S>2022</S> but He is not a god<S>430</S> of [the] valleys<S>6010</S> ";therefore I will give<S>5414</S> all<S>3605</S> this<S>2088</S> great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S> into your hand,<S>3027</S> and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am the Lord.<S>3068</S>'"


text:
<pb/>So they camped<S>2583</S> one<S>428</S> over<S>5227</S> against<S>5227</S> the other<S>428</S> seven<S>7651</S> days.<S>3117</S> And it came<S>1961</S> about that on the seventh<S>7637</S> day,<S>3117</S> the battle<S>4421</S> was joined,<S>7126</S> and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> killed<S>5221</S> [of] the Arameans<S>758</S> 100,000 foot<S>7273</S> soldiers<S>7273</S> in one<S>259</S> day.<S>3117</S>


text:
But the rest<S>3498</S> fled<S>5127</S> to Aphek<S>663</S> into the city,<S>5892</S> and the wall<S>2346</S> fell<S>5307</S> on 27,000 men<S>376</S> who were left.<S>3498</S> And Ben-hadad fled<S>5127</S> and came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> chamber.<S>2315</S>


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> we have heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are merciful<S>2617</S> kings,<S>4428</S> please<S>4994</S> let us put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on our loins<S>4975</S> and ropes<S>9112</S> on our heads,<S>7218</S> and go<S>3318</S> out to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel;<S>3478</S> perhaps<S>194</S> he will save<S>2421</S> your life.<S>5315</S>"


text:
So they girded<S>2296</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on their loins<S>4975</S> and [put] ropes<S>9112</S> on their heads,<S>7218</S> and came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Your servant<S>5650</S> Ben-hadad says,<S>559</S> 'Please<S>4994</S> let me live.<S>2421</S>'" And he said,<S>559</S> "Is he still<S>5750</S> alive<S>2416</S>? He is my brother.<S>251</S>"


text:
Now the men<S>376</S> took<S>5172</S> this as an omen,<S>5172</S> and quickly<S>4116</S> catching<S>2480</S> his word said,<S>559</S> "Your brother<S>251</S> Ben-hadad." Then he said,<S>559</S> "Go,<S>935</S> bring<S>3947</S> him." Then Ben-hadad came<S>3318</S> out to him, and he took<S>5927</S> him up into the chariot.<S>4818</S>


text:
And [Ben-hadad] said<S>559</S> to him, "The cities<S>5892</S> which<S>834</S> my father took<S>1</S> from your father I will restore,<S>3947</S> and you shall make<S>1</S> streets<S>7725</S> for yourself in Damascus,<S>7760</S> as my father made<S>2351</S> in Samaria.<S>1834</S>" [Ahab said,] "And I will let<S>1</S> you go<S>7760</S> with this covenant.<S>8111</S>" So he made<S>7971</S> a covenant<S>7971</S> with him and let<S>1285</S> him go.<S>3772</S>


text:
Now a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> to another<S>7453</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> "Please<S>4994</S> strike<S>5221</S> me." But the man<S>376</S> refused<S>3985</S> to strike<S>5221</S> him.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to him, "Because<S>3282</S> <S>834</S> you have not listened<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> behold,<S>2009</S> as soon as you have departed<S>1980</S> from me, a lion<S>9030</S> will kill<S>5221</S> you." And as soon as he had departed<S>1980</S> from him a lion<S>9030</S> found<S>4672</S> him, and killed<S>5221</S> him.


text:
Then he found<S>4672</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> strike<S>5221</S> me." And the man<S>376</S> struck<S>5221</S> him, wounding<S>6481</S> <S>5221</S> him.


text:
So the prophet<S>5030</S> departed<S>1980</S> and waited<S>5975</S> for the king<S>4428</S> by the way,<S>1870</S> and disguised<S>2664</S> himself with a bandage<S>666</S> over<S>5921</S> his eyes.<S>5869</S>


text:
And as the king<S>4428</S> passed<S>5674</S> by, he cried<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Your servant<S>5650</S> went<S>3318</S> out into the midst<S>7130</S> of the battle;<S>4421</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> a man<S>376</S> turned<S>5493</S> aside<S>5493</S> and brought<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> to me and said,<S>559</S> 'Guard<S>8104</S> this<S>2088</S> man;<S>376</S> if<S>518</S> for any<S>6485</S> reason<S>6485</S> he is missing,<S>6485</S> then your life<S>5315</S> shall be for his life,<S>5315</S> or<S>176</S> else you shall pay<S>8254</S> a talent<S>3603</S> of silver.<S>3701</S>'


text:
"And while your servant<S>5650</S> was busy<S>6213</S> here<S>2008</S> and there,<S>2008</S> he was gone.<S>369</S>" And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "So<S>3651</S> shall your judgment<S>4941</S> be; you yourself<S>859</S> have decided<S>2782</S> [it]."


text:
Then he hastily<S>4116</S> took<S>5493</S> the bandage<S>666</S> away<S>5493</S> from his eyes,<S>5869</S> and the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> recognized<S>5234</S> him that he was of the prophets.<S>5030</S>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Because<S>3282</S> you have let<S>7971</S> go<S>7971</S> out of [your] hand<S>3027</S> the man<S>376</S> whom I had devoted<S>9172</S> to destruction,<S>9172</S> therefore your life<S>5315</S> shall go<S>1961</S> for his life,<S>5315</S> and your people<S>5971</S> for his people.<S>5971</S>'"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S> sullen<S>5620</S> and vexed,<S>2198</S> and came<S>935</S> to Samaria.<S>8111</S>

<pb/>Now it came<S>1961</S> about after<S>310</S> these<S>428</S> things,<S>1697</S> that Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had<S>1961</S> a vineyard<S>3754</S> which<S>834</S> [was] in Jezreel<S>3157</S> beside<S>681</S> the palace<S>1964</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Naboth,<S>5022</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Give<S>5414</S> me your vineyard,<S>3754</S> that I may have<S>1961</S> it for a vegetable<S>3419</S> garden<S>1588</S> because<S>3588</S> it is close<S>7138</S> beside<S>681</S> my house,<S>1004</S> and I will give<S>5414</S> you a better<S>2896</S> vineyard<S>3754</S> than<S>4480</S> it in its place;<S>8478</S> if<S>518</S> you like,<S>2896</S> <S>5869</S> I will give<S>5414</S> you the price<S>4242</S> of it in money.<S>3701</S>"


text:
But Naboth<S>5022</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab,<S>256</S> "The Lord<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> me that I should give<S>5414</S> you the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers."


text:
<pb/>So Ahab<S>256</S> came<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S> sullen<S>5620</S> and vexed<S>2198</S> because<S>5921</S> of the word<S>1697</S> which<S>834</S> Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to him; for he said,<S>559</S> "I will not give<S>5414</S> you the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers."

text:
But Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to him and said<S>1696</S> to him, "How<S>4100</S> is it that your spirit<S>7307</S> is so sullen<S>5620</S> that you are not eating<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S>?"

So he said<S>1696</S> to her, "Because<S>3588</S> I spoke<S>1696</S> to Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite,<S>3158</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, 'Give<S>5414</S> me your vineyard<S>3754</S> for money;<S>3701</S> or<S>176</S> else, if<S>518</S> it pleases<S>2655</S> you, I will give<S>5414</S> you a vineyard<S>3754</S> in its place.<S>8478</S>' But he said,<S>559</S> 'I will not give<S>5414</S> you my vineyard.<S>3754</S>'"

And Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Do you now<S>6258</S> reign<S>6213</S> <S>4410</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S>?

text:
<pb/>So she wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> in Ahab's name<S>8034</S> and sealed<S>2856</S> them with his seal,<S>2368</S> and sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> and to the nobles<S>2715</S> who<S>834</S> were living<S>3427</S> with Naboth<S>5022</S> in his city.<S>5892</S>

And it came<S>1961</S> about in the third<S>7992</S> year,<S>8141</S> that Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants,<S>5650</S> "Do you know<S>3045</S> that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still<S>2814</S> doing<S>2814</S> nothing<S>2814</S> to take<S>3947</S> it out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S>?"

And he said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> "Will you go<S>1980</S> with me to battle<S>4421</S> at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> "I am as you are, my people<S>5971</S> as your people,<S>5971</S> my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses.<S>5483</S>"

Moreover, Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> "Please<S>4994</S> inquire<S>1875</S> first<S>3117</S> for the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together, about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men,<S>376</S> and said<S>559</S> to them, "Shall I go<S>1980</S> against<S>5921</S> Ramoth-gilead to battle<S>4421</S> or<S>518</S> shall I refrain<S>2308</S>?"

But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said,<S>559</S> "Is there<S>369</S> not yet<S>5750</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> here,<S>6311</S> that we may inquire<S>1875</S> of him?"

And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> "There is yet<S>5750</S> one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> by whom we may inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> but I hate<S>8130</S> him, because<S>3588</S> he does not prophesy<S>5012</S> good<S>2896</S> concerning<S>5921</S> me, but evil.<S>9563</S> [He is] Micaiah<S>4321</S> son<S>1121</S> of Imlah.<S>3229</S>" But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said,<S>559</S> "Let not the king<S>4428</S> say<S>559</S> so.<S>3651</S>"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> an officer<S>5631</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Bring<S>4116</S> quickly<S>4116</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> son<S>1121</S> of Imlah.<S>3229</S>"

<pb/>Now the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> each<S>376</S> on his throne,<S>3678</S> arrayed<S>3847</S> in [their] robes,<S>899</S> at the threshing<S>1637</S> floor<S>1637</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria;<S>8111</S> and all<S>3605</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> were prophesying<S>5012</S> before<S>6440</S> them.


text:
Then Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> made<S>6213</S> horns<S>7161</S> of iron<S>1270</S> for himself and said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'With these<S>428</S> you shall gore<S>5055</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> until<S>5704</S> they are consumed.<S>3615</S>'"

And all<S>3605</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> were prophesying<S>5012</S> thus,<S>3651</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Go<S>5927</S> up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper,<S>6743</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> will give<S>5414</S> [it] into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king.<S>4428</S>"


text:
Then the messenger<S>4397</S> who<S>834</S> went<S>1980</S> to summon<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to him saying,<S>559</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> are uniformly<S>259</S> <S>6310</S> favorable<S>2896</S> to the king.<S>4428</S> Please<S>4994</S> let your word<S>1697</S> be like the word<S>1697</S> of one<S>259</S> of them, and speak<S>1696</S> favorably.<S>2896</S>"


text:
But Micaiah<S>4321</S> said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives,<S>2416</S> what<S>3588</S> <S>834</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> says<S>559</S> to me, that I will speak.<S>1696</S>"


text:
<pb/>When he came<S>935</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Micaiah,<S>4321</S> shall we go<S>1980</S> to Ramoth-gilead to battle,<S>4421</S> or<S>518</S> shall we refrain<S>2308</S>?"

text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "How<S>5704</S> <S>4100</S> many<S>5704</S> <S>4100</S> times<S>6471</S> must I adjure<S>7650</S> you to speak<S>1696</S> to me nothing<S>3808</S> but the truth<S>571</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>?"


text:
So he said,<S>559</S> "I saw<S>7200</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> Scattered<S>6327</S> on the mountains,<S>2022</S> Like sheep<S>6629</S> which<S>834</S> have<S>369</S> no<S>369</S> shepherd.<S>7462</S> And the Lord<S>3068</S> said,<S>559</S> 'These<S>428</S> have no<S>3808</S> master.<S>113</S> Let each<S>376</S> of them return<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace.<S>7965</S>'"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> "Did I not tell<S>559</S> you that he would not prophesy<S>5012</S> good<S>2896</S> concerning<S>5921</S> me, but evil<S>9563</S>?"


text:
And Micaiah said,<S>559</S> "Therefore,<S>3651</S> hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> I saw<S>7200</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> sitting<S>3427</S> on His throne,<S>3678</S> and all<S>3605</S> the host<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> by Him on His right<S>3225</S> and on His left.<S>8040</S>


text:
"And the Lord<S>3068</S> said,<S>559</S> 'Who<S>4310</S> will entice<S>6601</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to go<S>5927</S> up and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramoth-gilead?' And one<S>2088</S> said<S>559</S> this<S>3541</S> while another<S>2088</S> said<S>559</S> that.


text:
"Then a spirit<S>7307</S> came<S>3318</S> forward<S>3318</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> 'I will entice<S>6601</S> him.'


text:
"And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, 'How<S>4100</S>?'

text:
"Now<S>6258</S> therefore, behold,<S>2009</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> has put<S>5414</S> a deceiving<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all<S>3605</S> these<S>428</S> your prophets;<S>5030</S> and the Lord<S>3068</S> has proclaimed<S>1696</S> disaster<S>9567</S> against<S>5921</S> you."


text:
Then Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> and struck<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> on the cheek<S>3895</S> and said,<S>559</S> "How<S>335</S> <S>2088</S> did the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> pass<S>5674</S> from me to speak<S>1696</S> to you?"


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> you shall see<S>7200</S> on that day<S>3117</S> when<S>834</S> you enter<S>935</S> an inner<S>2315</S> room<S>2315</S> to hide<S>2247</S> yourself."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said,<S>559</S> "Take<S>3947</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> and return<S>7725</S> him to Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S> and to Joash<S>3060</S> the king's son;<S>1121</S>


text:
and say,<S>559</S> 'Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the king,<S>4428</S> "Put<S>7760</S> this<S>2088</S> man in prison,<S>1004</S> <S>3608</S> and feed<S>398</S> him sparingly<S>3906</S> with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S> until<S>5704</S> I return<S>935</S> safely.<S>7965</S>"' "


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said,<S>559</S> "If<S>518</S> you indeed<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> safely<S>7965</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> has not spoken<S>1696</S> by me." And he said,<S>559</S> "Listen,<S>8085</S> all<S>3605</S> you people.<S>5971</S>"


text:
<pb/>So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>5927</S> up against Ramoth-gilead.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> "I will disguise<S>2664</S> myself and go<S>935</S> into the battle,<S>4421</S> but you put<S>3847</S> on your robes.<S>899</S>" So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself and went<S>935</S> into the battle.<S>4421</S>


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> the thirty-two captains<S>8269</S> of his chariots,<S>7393</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Do not fight<S>3898</S> with small<S>9512</S> or great,<S>1419</S> but with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> alone.<S>905</S>"


text:
So it came<S>1961</S> about, when the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> that they said,<S>559</S> "Surely<S>389</S> it is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S>" and they turned<S>5493</S> aside<S>5493</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against<S>5921</S> him, and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> cried<S>2199</S> out.


text:
Then it happened,<S>1961</S> when the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> that it was not the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> that they turned<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>310</S> him.


text:
Now a certain man<S>376</S> drew<S>4900</S> his bow<S>7198</S> at random<S>8537</S> and struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> in a joint<S>1694</S> of the armor.<S>8302</S> So he said<S>559</S> to the driver<S>7395</S> of his chariot,<S>7395</S> "Turn<S>2015</S> around,<S>3027</S> and take<S>3318</S> me out of the fight;<S>4264</S> for I am<S>2470</S> severely<S>2470</S> wounded.<S>2470</S>"


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> raged<S>5927</S> that day,<S>3117</S> and the king<S>4428</S> was propped<S>5975</S> up in his chariot<S>4818</S> in front<S>5227</S> of the Arameans,<S>758</S> and died<S>4191</S> at evening,<S>6153</S> and the blood<S>1818</S> from the wound<S>4347</S> ran<S>3332</S> into the bottom<S>2436</S> of the chariot.<S>7393</S>


text:
Then a cry<S>7440</S> passed<S>5674</S> throughout<S>5674</S> the army<S>4264</S> close to sunset,<S>8121</S> <S>935</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> to his city<S>5892</S> and every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> to his country.<S>776</S>"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> died<S>4191</S> and was brought<S>935</S> to Samaria,<S>8111</S> and they buried<S>6912</S> the king<S>4428</S> in Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:

<pb/>Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> and all<S>3605</S> that he did<S>6213</S> and the ivory<S>8127</S> house<S>1004</S> which<S>834</S> he built<S>1129</S> and all<S>3605</S> the cities<S>5892</S> which<S>834</S> he built,<S>1129</S> are they not written<S>3789</S> in the Book<S>5612</S> of the Chronicles<S>1697</S> <S>3117</S> of the Kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

So Ahab<S>256</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers, and Ahaziah<S>1</S> his son<S>274</S> became<S>1121</S> king<S>4427</S> in his place.<S>4427</S>

Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> also made<S>7999</S> peace<S>7999</S> with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>

Now there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> king<S>4428</S> in Edom;<S>9000</S> a deputy<S>5324</S> was king.<S>4428</S>

Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> made<S>6213</S> ships<S>591</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S> to go<S>1980</S> to Ophir<S>211</S> for gold,<S>2091</S> but they did not go<S>1980</S> for the ships<S>591</S> were broken<S>7665</S> at Ezion-geber.

Then<S>227</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat,<S>3092</S> "Let my servants<S>5650</S> go<S>1980</S> with your servants<S>5650</S> in the ships.<S>591</S>" But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was not willing.<S>14</S>

<pb/>And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers and was buried<S>1</S> with his fathers in the city<S>6912</S> of his father David,<S>1</S> and Jehoram<S>5892</S> his son<S>1</S> became<S>1732</S> king<S>3088</S> in his place.<S>1121</S>

Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> became<S>4427</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> in the seventeenth<S>7651</S> <S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and he reigned<S>4427</S> two years<S>8141</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel.<S>3478</S>

And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> and walked<S>1980</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father and in the way<S>1</S> of his mother<S>1870</S> and in the way<S>517</S> of Jeroboam<S>1870</S> the son<S>3379</S> of Nebat,<S>1121</S> who<S>5028</S> caused Israel<S>834</S> to sin.<S>3478</S>

So he served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S> and worshiped<S>7812</S> him and provoked<S>3707</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to anger<S>3707</S> according to all<S>3605</S> that his father had done.<S>1</S>

<pb/>Now Moab<S>4124</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against Israel<S>3478</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Ahab.<S>256</S>

And Ahaziah<S>274</S> fell<S>5307</S> through<S>1157</S> the lattice<S>7639</S> in his upper<S>5944</S> chamber<S>5944</S> which<S>834</S> [was] in Samaria,<S>8111</S> and became<S>2470</S> ill.<S>2470</S> So he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> and said<S>559</S> to them, "Go,<S>1980</S> inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal-zebub, the god<S>430</S> of Ekron,<S>6138</S> whether<S>518</S> I shall recover<S>2421</S> from this<S>2088</S> sickness.<S>2483</S>"

<pb/>But the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>1696</S> to Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite,<S>8664</S> "Arise,<S>6965</S> go<S>5927</S> up to meet<S>7122</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> and say<S>1696</S> to them, 'Is it because<S>4480</S> <S>1097</S> there<S>369</S> is no<S>369</S> God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> [that] you are going<S>1980</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal-zebub, the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>?'


text:
"Now therefore<S>3651</S> thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'You shall not come<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> from the bed<S>4296</S> where<S>834</S> <S>8033</S> you have gone<S>5927</S> up, but you shall surely<S>4191</S> die.<S>4191</S>'" Then Elijah<S>452</S> departed.<S>1980</S>

<pb/>When the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S> to him he said<S>559</S> to them, "Why<S>4100</S> have you returned<S>7725</S>?"

Then the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> [were at] Bethel<S>1008</S> came<S>3318</S> out to Elisha<S>477</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "Do you know<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> will take<S>3947</S> away your master<S>113</S> from over<S>5921</S> you today<S>3117</S>?"

Now fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> went<S>1980</S> and stood<S>5975</S> opposite<S>4480</S> <S>5048</S> [them] at a distance,<S>7350</S> while the two<S>8147</S> of them stood<S>5975</S> by the Jordan.<S>3383</S>

And he said,<S>559</S> "You have asked<S>7592</S> a hard<S>7185</S> thing.<S>7185</S> [Nevertheless,] if<S>518</S> you see<S>7200</S> me when I am taken<S>3947</S> from you, it shall be so<S>3651</S> for you; but if<S>518</S> not, it shall not be [so.]"


text:
<pb/>Then it came<S>1961</S> about as they were going<S>1980</S> along and talking,<S>1696</S> that behold,<S>2009</S> [there appeared] a chariot<S>7393</S> of fire<S>784</S> and horses<S>5483</S> of fire<S>784</S> which separated<S>6504</S> the two<S>8147</S> of them. And Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>5927</S> up by a whirlwind<S>9370</S> to heaven.<S>8064</S>


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> saw<S>7200</S> [it] and cried<S>6817</S> out, "My father, my father, the chariots<S>1</S> of Israel<S>1</S> and its horsemen!<S>7393</S>" And he saw<S>3478</S> him no<S>6571</S> more.<S>7200</S> Then he took<S>3808</S> hold<S>5750</S> of his own clothes<S>2388</S> and tore<S>2388</S> them in two<S>899</S> pieces.<S>7167</S>


text:
He also took<S>7311</S> up the mantle<S>155</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> that fell<S>5307</S> from him, and returned<S>7725</S> and stood<S>5975</S> by the bank<S>8193</S> of the Jordan.<S>3383</S>


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the mantle<S>155</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> that fell<S>5307</S> from him, and struck<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Where<S>346</S> is the Lord,<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>?" And when he also<S>637</S> had struck<S>5221</S> the waters,<S>4325</S> they were divided<S>2673</S> here<S>2008</S> and there;<S>2008</S> and Elisha<S>477</S> crossed<S>5674</S> over.<S>5674</S>


text:
<pb/>Now when the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> [were] at Jericho<S>3405</S> opposite<S>4480</S> <S>5048</S> [him] saw<S>7200</S> him, they said,<S>559</S> "The spirit<S>7307</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> rests<S>5117</S> on Elisha.<S>477</S>" And they came<S>935</S> to meet<S>7122</S> him and bowed<S>7812</S> themselves to the ground<S>776</S> before him.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to him, "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> there<S>3426</S> are with your servants<S>5650</S> fifty<S>2572</S> strong<S>2428</S> men,<S>376</S> please<S>4994</S> let them go<S>1980</S> and search<S>1245</S> for your master;<S>113</S> perhaps<S>6435</S> the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> has taken<S>5375</S> him up and cast<S>7993</S> him on some<S>259</S> mountain<S>2022</S> or<S>176</S> into some<S>259</S> valley.<S>1516</S>" And he said,<S>559</S> "You shall not send.<S>7971</S>"


text:
But when they urged<S>6484</S> him until<S>5704</S> he was ashamed,<S>954</S> he said,<S>559</S> "Send.<S>7971</S>" They sent<S>7971</S> therefore fifty<S>2572</S> men;<S>376</S> and they searched<S>1245</S> three<S>7969</S> days,<S>3117</S> but did not find<S>4672</S> him.


text:
And they returned<S>7725</S> to him while he was staying<S>3427</S> at Jericho;<S>3405</S> and he said<S>559</S> to them, "Did I not say<S>559</S> to you, 'Do not go<S>1980</S>'?"


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha,<S>477</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> now, the situation<S>4186</S> of this city<S>5892</S> is pleasant,<S>2896</S> as my lord<S>113</S> sees;<S>7200</S> but the water<S>4325</S> is bad,<S>7451</S> and the land<S>776</S> is unfruitful.<S>7921</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Bring<S>3947</S> me a new<S>2319</S> jar,<S>6746</S> and put<S>7760</S> salt<S>4417</S> in it." So they brought<S>3947</S> [it] to him.


text:
And he went<S>3318</S> out to the spring<S>4161</S> of water,<S>4325</S> and threw<S>7993</S> salt<S>4417</S> in it and said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'I have purified<S>7495</S> these<S>428</S> waters;<S>4325</S> there shall not be from there<S>8033</S> death<S>4194</S> or unfruitfulness<S>7921</S> any<S>5750</S> longer.<S>5750</S>'"


text:
So the waters<S>4325</S> have been purified<S>7495</S> to this<S>2088</S> day,<S>3117</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> which<S>834</S> he spoke.<S>1696</S>


text:
<pb/>Then he went<S>5927</S> up from there<S>8033</S> to Bethel;<S>1008</S> and as he was going<S>5927</S> up by the way,<S>1870</S> young<S>6996</S> lads<S>5288</S> came<S>3318</S> out from the city<S>5892</S> and mocked<S>7046</S> him and said<S>559</S> to him, "Go<S>5927</S> up, you baldhead;<S>7142</S> go<S>5927</S> up, you baldhead!<S>7142</S>"


text:
When he looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him and saw<S>7200</S> them, he cursed<S>7043</S> them in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> Then two<S>8147</S> female bears<S>1677</S> came<S>3318</S> out of the woods<S>3293</S> and tore<S>1234</S> up forty-two lads<S>3206</S> of their number.


text:
And he went<S>1980</S> from there<S>8033</S> to Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel,<S>3760</S> and from there<S>8033</S> he returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
<pb/>Now Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> became<S>4427</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Israel<S>3478</S> at Samaria<S>8111</S> in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> <S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and reigned<S>4427</S> twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> years.<S>8141</S>


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> though<S>7534</S> not like his father and his mother;<S>1</S> for he put<S>517</S> away<S>5493</S> the [sacred] pillar<S>5493</S> of Baal<S>4676</S> which<S>1168</S> his father had made.<S>834</S>


text:
Nevertheless,<S>7534</S> he clung<S>1692</S> to the sins<S>9128</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat,<S>5028</S> which<S>834</S> he made Israel<S>3478</S> sin;<S>2398</S> he did not depart<S>5493</S> from them.


text:
<pb/>Now Mesha<S>4338</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> was a sheep<S>5349</S> breeder,<S>5349</S> and used to pay<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> 100,000 lambs<S>3733</S> and the wool<S>6785</S> of 100,000 rams.<S>352</S>


text:
But it came<S>1961</S> about, when Ahab<S>256</S> died,<S>4194</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
And King<S>4428</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> went<S>3318</S> out of Samaria<S>8111</S> at that time<S>3117</S> and mustered<S>6485</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
Then he went<S>1980</S> and sent<S>7971</S> [word] to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> saying,<S>559</S> "The king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> has rebelled<S>6586</S> against me. Will you go<S>1980</S> with me to fight<S>4421</S> against<S>413</S> Moab<S>4124</S>?" And he said,<S>559</S> "I will go<S>5927</S> up; I am as you are, my people<S>5971</S> as your people,<S>5971</S> my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses.<S>5483</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Which<S>335</S> <S>2088</S> way<S>1870</S> shall we go<S>5927</S> up?" And he answered,<S>559</S> "The way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Edom.<S>9000</S>"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>1980</S> with the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom;<S>9000</S> and they made<S>5437</S> a circuit<S>5437</S> of seven<S>7651</S> days' journey,<S>1870</S> and there was no<S>3808</S> water<S>4325</S> for the army<S>4264</S> or for the cattle<S>929</S> that followed<S>7272</S> them.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said,<S>559</S> "Alas!<S>162</S> For the Lord<S>3068</S> has called<S>7121</S> these<S>428</S> three<S>7969</S> kings<S>4428</S> to give<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Moab.<S>4124</S>"


text:
But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said,<S>559</S> "Is there<S>369</S> not a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> here,<S>6311</S> that we may inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by him?" And one<S>259</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel's servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> is here,<S>6311</S> who<S>834</S> used to pour<S>3332</S> water<S>4325</S> on the hands<S>3027</S> of Elijah.<S>452</S>"


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said,<S>559</S> "The word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> is with him." So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>9000</S> went<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to him.


text:
<pb/>Now Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> "What<S>4100</S> do I have to do with you?

And Elisha<S>477</S> said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> lives,<S>2416</S> before<S>6440</S> whom<S>834</S> I stand,<S>5975</S> were it not that I regard<S>5375</S> the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> I would not look<S>5027</S> at you nor<S>518</S> see<S>7200</S> you.

"But now<S>6258</S> bring<S>3947</S> me a minstrel.<S>5059</S>" And it came<S>1961</S> about, when the minstrel<S>5059</S> played,<S>5059</S> that the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> upon him.


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Make<S>6213</S> this<S>2088</S> valley<S>5158</S> full<S>1356</S> of trenches.<S>1356</S>'

"For thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'You shall not see<S>7200</S> wind<S>7307</S> nor<S>3808</S> shall you see<S>7200</S> rain;<S>1653</S> yet that valley<S>5158</S> shall be filled<S>4390</S> with water,<S>4325</S> so that you shall drink,<S>8354</S> both you and your cattle<S>4735</S> and your beasts.<S>929</S>

'And this<S>2088</S> is but a slight<S>7043</S> thing<S>7043</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord;<S>3068</S> He shall also give<S>5414</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> into your hand.<S>3027</S>

'Then you shall strike<S>5221</S> every<S>3605</S> fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S> and every<S>3605</S> choice<S>4004</S> city,<S>5892</S> and fell<S>5307</S> every<S>3605</S> good<S>2896</S> tree<S>6086</S> and stop<S>5640</S> all<S>3605</S> springs<S>4599</S> of water,<S>4325</S> and mar<S>3510</S> every<S>3605</S> good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land<S>2513</S> with stones.<S>68</S>' "

<pb/>And it happened<S>1961</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> about the time of offering<S>5927</S> the sacrifice,<S>4503</S> that behold,<S>2009</S> water<S>4325</S> came<S>935</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of Edom,<S>9000</S> and the country<S>776</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with water.<S>4325</S>


text:
Now all<S>3605</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> had come<S>5927</S> up to fight<S>3898</S> against them. And all<S>3605</S> who were able to put<S>2296</S> on armor<S>9118</S> and older<S>4605</S> were summoned,<S>6817</S> and stood<S>5975</S> on the border.<S>1366</S>


text:
And they rose<S>7925</S> early<S>7925</S> in the morning,<S>1242</S> and the sun<S>8121</S> shone<S>2224</S> on the water,<S>4325</S> and the Moabites<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> the water<S>4325</S> opposite<S>4480</S> <S>5048</S> [them] as red<S>122</S> as blood.<S>1818</S>


text:
Then they said,<S>559</S> "This<S>2088</S> is blood;<S>1818</S> the kings<S>4428</S> have surely<S>9163</S> fought<S>9163</S> together,<S>9163</S> and they have slain<S>5221</S> one<S>376</S> another.<S>7453</S> Now<S>6258</S> therefore, Moab,<S>4124</S> to the spoil!<S>7998</S>"

But when they came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> the Israelites<S>3478</S> arose<S>6965</S> and struck<S>5221</S> the Moabites,<S>4124</S> so that they fled<S>5127</S> before<S>4480</S> <S>6440</S> them; and they went<S>935</S> forward into the land, slaughtering<S>5221</S> the Moabites.<S>4124</S>


text:
Thus they destroyed<S>2040</S> the cities;<S>5892</S> and each<S>376</S> one<S>376</S> threw<S>7993</S> a stone<S>68</S> on every<S>3605</S> piece<S>2513</S> of good<S>2896</S> land<S>2513</S> and filled<S>4390</S> it. So they stopped<S>5640</S> all<S>3605</S> the springs<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S> and felled<S>5307</S> all<S>3605</S> the good<S>2896</S> trees,<S>6086</S> until<S>5704</S> in Kir-hareseth [only] they left<S>7604</S> its stones;<S>68</S> however, the slingers<S>7051</S> went<S>5437</S> about<S>5437</S> [it] and struck<S>5221</S> it.

When the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the battle<S>4421</S> was too<S>4480</S> fierce<S>2388</S> for him, he took<S>3947</S> with him<S>700</S> men<S>376</S> who drew<S>8025</S> swords,<S>2719</S> to break<S>1234</S> through<S>1234</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Edom;<S>9000</S> but they could<S>3201</S> not.

<pb/>Now a certain<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> of the wives<S>802</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> cried<S>6817</S> out to Elisha,<S>477</S> "Your servant<S>5650</S> my husband<S>376</S> is dead,<S>4191</S> and you know<S>3045</S> that your servant<S>5650</S> feared<S>3372</S> the Lord;<S>3068</S> and the creditor<S>5383</S> has come<S>935</S> to take<S>3947</S> my two<S>8147</S> children<S>3206</S> to be his slaves.<S>5650</S>"

Then he said,<S>559</S> "Go,<S>1980</S> borrow<S>7592</S> vessels<S>3627</S> at large<S>2351</S> for yourself from all<S>3605</S> your neighbors,<S>7934</S> [even] empty<S>7386</S> vessels;<S>3627</S> do not get<S>4591</S> a few.<S>4591</S>


text:
"And you shall go<S>935</S> in and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> behind<S>1157</S> you and your sons,<S>1121</S> and pour<S>3332</S> out into all<S>3605</S> these<S>428</S> vessels;<S>3627</S> and you shall set<S>5265</S> aside<S>5265</S> what<S>4392</S> is full.<S>4392</S>"


text:
So she went<S>1980</S> from him and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> behind<S>1157</S> her and her sons;<S>1121</S> they were bringing<S>5066</S> [the vessels] to her and she poured.<S>3332</S>


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when the vessels<S>3627</S> were full,<S>4390</S> that she said<S>559</S> to her son,<S>1121</S> "Bring<S>5066</S> me another<S>5750</S> vessel.<S>3627</S>" And he said<S>559</S> to her, "There<S>369</S> is not one<S>369</S> vessel<S>3627</S> more.<S>5750</S>" And the oil<S>8081</S> stopped.<S>5975</S>


text:
Then she came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> the man<S>376</S> of God.<S>430</S> And he said,<S>559</S> "Go,<S>1980</S> sell<S>4376</S> the oil<S>8081</S> and pay<S>9608</S> your debt,<S>5386</S> and you [and] your sons<S>1121</S> can live<S>2421</S> on the rest.<S>3498</S>"


text:
Now there came<S>1961</S> a day<S>3117</S> when Elisha<S>477</S> passed<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> to Shunem,<S>7766</S> where<S>8033</S> there was a prominent<S>1419</S> woman,<S>802</S> and she persuaded<S>2388</S> him to eat<S>398</S> food.<S>3899</S> And so it was, as often<S>1767</S> as he passed<S>5674</S> by, he turned<S>5493</S> in there<S>8033</S> to eat<S>398</S> food.<S>3899</S>


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to her husband,<S>376</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> I perceive<S>3045</S> that this<S>1931</S> is a holy<S>6918</S> man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> passing<S>5674</S> by us continually.<S>8548</S>


text:
"Please,<S>4994</S> let us make<S>6213</S> a little<S>6996</S> walled<S>7023</S> upper<S>5944</S> chamber<S>5944</S> and let us set<S>7760</S> a bed<S>4296</S> for him there,<S>8033</S> and a table<S>7979</S> and a chair<S>3678</S> and a lampstand;<S>4501</S> and it shall be, when he comes<S>935</S> to us, [that] he can turn<S>5493</S> in there.<S>8033</S>"


text:
<pb/>One day<S>3117</S> he came<S>935</S> there<S>8033</S> and turned<S>5493</S> in to the upper<S>5944</S> chamber<S>5944</S> and rested.<S>7901</S> <S>8033</S>


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant,<S>5288</S> "Call<S>7121</S> this<S>2088</S> Shunammite.<S>7767</S>" And when he had called<S>7121</S> her, she stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, "Say<S>559</S> now<S>4994</S> to her, 'Behold,<S>2009</S> you have been<S>2729</S> careful<S>2729</S> for us with all<S>3605</S> this<S>2088</S> care;<S>2731</S> what<S>4100</S> can I do<S>6213</S> for you? Would<S>3426</S> you be spoken<S>1696</S> for to the king<S>4428</S> or<S>176</S> to the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>?'" And she answered,<S>559</S> "I live<S>3427</S> among<S>8432</S> my own people.<S>9415</S>"


text:
So he said,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> then is to be done<S>6213</S> for her?" And Gehazi<S>1522</S> answered,<S>559</S> "Truly<S>61</S> she has<S>369</S> no<S>369</S> son<S>1121</S> and her husband<S>376</S> is old.<S>2204</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Call<S>7121</S> her." When he had called<S>7121</S> her, she stood<S>5975</S> in the doorway.<S>6607</S>


text:
Then he said,<S>559</S> "At this<S>2088</S> season<S>4150</S> next<S>2416</S> year<S>6256</S> you shall embrace<S>2263</S> a son.<S>1121</S>" And she said,<S>559</S> "No,<S>408</S> my lord,<S>113</S> O man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> do not lie<S>3576</S> to your maidservant.<S>8198</S>"


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> conceived<S>2029</S> and bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S> at that season<S>4150</S> the next<S>2416</S> year,<S>6256</S> as Elisha<S>477</S> had said<S>1696</S> to her.


text:
<pb/>When the child<S>3206</S> was grown,<S>1431</S> the day<S>3117</S> came<S>1961</S> that he went<S>3318</S> out to his father to the reapers.<S>1</S>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to his father, "My head,<S>1</S> my head.<S>7218</S>" And he said<S>7218</S> to his servant,<S>559</S> "Carry<S>5288</S> him to his mother.<S>5375</S>"


text:
When he had taken<S>5375</S> him and brought<S>935</S> him to his mother,<S>517</S> he sat<S>3427</S> on her lap<S>1290</S> until<S>5704</S> noon,<S>6672</S> and [then] died.<S>4191</S>


text:
And she went<S>5927</S> up and laid<S>7901</S> him on the bed<S>4296</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> and shut<S>5462</S> [the door] behind<S>1157</S> him, and went<S>3318</S> out.


text:
Then she called<S>7121</S> to her husband<S>376</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> send<S>7971</S> me one<S>259</S> of the servants<S>5288</S> and one<S>259</S> of the donkeys,<S>860</S> that I may run<S>7323</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> and return.<S>7725</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Why<S>4069</S> will you go<S>1980</S> to him today<S>3117</S>? It is neither<S>3808</S> new<S>2320</S> moon<S>2320</S> nor<S>3808</S> sabbath.<S>7676</S>" And she said,<S>559</S> "[It will be] well.<S>7965</S>"


text:
Then she saddled<S>2280</S> a donkey<S>860</S> and said<S>559</S> to her servant,<S>5288</S> "Drive<S>5090</S> and go<S>1980</S> forward; do not slow<S>6113</S> down<S>6113</S> the pace<S>7392</S> for me unless<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> I tell<S>559</S> you."


text:
<pb/>So she went<S>1980</S> and came<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel.<S>3760</S> And it came<S>1961</S> about when the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> saw<S>7200</S> her at a distance,<S>4480</S> <S>5048</S> that he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant,<S>5288</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> yonder<S>1975</S> is the Shunammite.<S>7767</S>


text:
"Please<S>4994</S> run<S>7323</S> now<S>6258</S> to meet<S>7122</S> her and say<S>559</S> to her, 'Is it well<S>7965</S> with you? Is it well<S>7965</S> with your husband<S>376</S>? Is it well<S>7965</S> with the child<S>3206</S>?'" And she answered,<S>559</S> "It is well.<S>7965</S>"


text:
When she came<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to the hill,<S>2022</S> she caught<S>2388</S> hold<S>2388</S> of his feet.<S>7272</S> And Gehazi<S>1522</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> to push<S>1920</S> her away;<S>1920</S> but the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said,<S>559</S> "Let<S>7503</S> her alone,<S>7503</S> for her soul<S>5315</S> is troubled<S>4843</S> within her; and the Lord<S>3068</S> has hidden<S>5956</S> it from me and has not told<S>5046</S> me."


text:
Then she said,<S>559</S> "Did I ask<S>7592</S> for a son<S>1121</S> from my lord<S>113</S>? Did I not say,<S>559</S> 'Do not deceive<S>7951</S> me'?"


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi,<S>1522</S> "Gird<S>2296</S> up your loins<S>4975</S> and take<S>3947</S> my staff<S>4938</S> in your hand,<S>3027</S> and go<S>1980</S> your way; if<S>3588</S> you meet<S>4672</S> any<S>376</S> man,<S>376</S> do not salute<S>1288</S> him, and if<S>3588</S> anyone<S>376</S> salutes<S>1288</S> you, do not answer<S>6030</S> him; and lay<S>7760</S> my staff<S>4938</S> on the lad's face.<S>6440</S>"


text:
And the mother<S>517</S> of the lad<S>5288</S> said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S> and as you yourself<S>5315</S> live,<S>2416</S> I will not leave<S>5800</S> you." And he arose<S>6965</S> and followed<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> her.


text:
<pb/>Then Gehazi<S>1522</S> passed<S>5674</S> on before<S>6440</S> them and laid<S>7760</S> the staff<S>4938</S> on the lad<S>5288</S>'s face,<S>6440</S> but there<S>369</S> was neither<S>369</S> sound<S>6963</S> nor<S>369</S> response.<S>7182</S> So he returned<S>7725</S> to meet<S>7122</S> him and told<S>5046</S> him, "The lad has not awakened.<S>9516</S>"


text:
When Elisha<S>477</S> came<S>935</S> into the house,<S>1004</S> behold<S>2009</S> the lad<S>5288</S> was dead<S>4191</S> and laid<S>7901</S> on his bed.<S>4296</S>


text:
So he entered<S>935</S> and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> behind<S>1157</S> them both,<S>8147</S> and prayed<S>6419</S> to the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
And he went<S>5927</S> up and lay<S>7901</S> on the child,<S>3206</S> and put<S>7760</S> his mouth<S>6310</S> on his mouth<S>6310</S> and his eyes<S>5869</S> on his eyes<S>5869</S> and his hands<S>3709</S> on his hands,<S>3709</S> and he stretched<S>1457</S> himself on him; and the flesh<S>1320</S> of the child<S>3206</S> became<S>2552</S> warm.<S>2552</S>


text:
Then he returned<S>7725</S> and walked<S>1980</S> in the house<S>1004</S> once<S>259</S> back<S>2008</S> and forth,<S>2008</S> and went<S>5927</S> up and stretched<S>1457</S> himself on him; and the lad<S>5288</S> sneezed<S>2237</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S> and the lad<S>5288</S> opened<S>6491</S> his eyes.<S>5869</S>


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> Gehazi<S>1522</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Call<S>7121</S> this<S>2088</S> Shunammite.<S>7767</S>" So he called<S>7121</S> her. And when she came<S>935</S> in to him, he said,<S>559</S> "Take<S>5375</S> up your son.<S>1121</S>"


text:
Then she went<S>935</S> in and fell<S>5307</S> at his feet<S>7272</S> and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground,<S>776</S> and she took<S>5375</S> up her son<S>1121</S> and went<S>3318</S> out.


text:
When Elisha<S>477</S> returned<S>7725</S> to Gilgal,<S>1537</S> [there was] a famine<S>7458</S> in the land.<S>776</S> As the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> before<S>6440</S> him, he said<S>559</S> to his servant,<S>5288</S> "Put<S>8239</S> on the large<S>1419</S> pot<S>5518</S> and boil<S>1310</S> stew<S>5138</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets.<S>5030</S>"


text:
Then one<S>259</S> went<S>3318</S> out into the field<S>7704</S> to gather<S>3950</S> herbs,<S>219</S> and found<S>4672</S> a wild<S>7704</S> vine<S>1612</S> and gathered<S>3950</S> from it his lap<S>899</S> full<S>4393</S> of wild<S>7704</S> gourds,<S>6498</S> and came<S>935</S> and sliced<S>6398</S> them into the pot<S>5518</S> of stew,<S>5138</S> for they did not know<S>3045</S> [what they were.]


text:
So they poured<S>3332</S> [it] out for the men<S>376</S> to eat.<S>398</S> And it came<S>1961</S> about as they were eating<S>398</S> of the stew,<S>5138</S> that they cried<S>6817</S> out and said,<S>559</S> "O man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> there is death<S>4194</S> in the pot.<S>5518</S>" And they were unable<S>3808</S> <S>3201</S> to eat.<S>398</S>


text:
But he said,<S>559</S> "Now bring<S>3947</S> meal.<S>7058</S>" And he threw<S>7993</S> it into the pot,<S>5518</S> and he said,<S>559</S> "Pour<S>3332</S> [it] out for the people<S>5971</S> that they may eat.<S>398</S>" Then there was no<S>3808</S> harm<S>1697</S> <S>7451</S> in the pot.<S>5518</S>


text:
Now a man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> from Baal-shalishah, and brought<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> bread<S>3899</S> of the first<S>1061</S> fruits,<S>1061</S> twenty<S>6242</S> loaves<S>3899</S> of barley<S>8184</S> and fresh<S>3759</S> ears<S>3759</S> of grain<S>3759</S> in his sack.<S>6861</S> And he said,<S>559</S> "Give<S>5414</S> [them] to the people<S>5971</S> that they may eat.<S>398</S>"


text:
And his attendant<S>8334</S> said,<S>559</S> "What,<S>4100</S> shall I set<S>5414</S> this<S>2088</S> before<S>6440</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>?" But he said,<S>559</S> "Give<S>5414</S> [them] to the people<S>5971</S> that they may eat,<S>398</S> for thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'They shall eat<S>398</S> and have [some] left<S>3498</S> over.<S>3498</S>' "


text:
So he set<S>5414</S> [it] before<S>6440</S> them, and they ate<S>398</S> and had [some] left<S>3498</S> over,<S>3498</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>

<pb/>Now Naaman,<S>5283</S> captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Aram,<S>758</S> was a great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S> with his master,<S>113</S> and highly respected,<S>5375</S> <S>6440</S> because<S>3588</S> by him the Lord<S>3068</S> had given<S>5414</S> victory<S>8668</S> to Aram.<S>758</S> The man<S>376</S> was also a valiant<S>2428</S> warrior,<S>1368</S> [but he was] a leper.<S>6879</S>

But consider<S>3045</S> now,<S>4994</S> and see<S>7200</S> how<S>3588</S> he is seeking<S>579</S> a quarrel<S>579</S> against me."

<pb/>And it happened<S>1961</S> when Elisha<S>477</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had torn<S>7167</S> his clothes,<S>899</S> that he sent<S>7971</S> [word] to the king,<S>4428</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Why<S>4100</S> have you torn<S>7167</S> your clothes<S>899</S>? Now<S>4994</S> let him come<S>935</S> to me, and he shall know<S>3045</S> that there<S>3426</S> is a prophet<S>5030</S> in Israel.<S>3478</S>"


text:
So Naaman<S>5283</S> came<S>935</S> with his horses<S>5483</S> and his chariots,<S>7393</S> and stood<S>5975</S> at the doorway<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Elisha.<S>477</S>


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> to him, saying,<S>559</S> "Go<S>1980</S> and wash<S>7364</S> in the Jordan<S>3383</S> seven<S>7651</S> times,<S>6471</S> and your flesh<S>1320</S> shall be restored<S>7725</S> to you and [you shall] be clean.<S>2891</S>"


text:
But Naaman<S>5283</S> was furious<S>7107</S> and went<S>1980</S> away and said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> I thought,<S>559</S> 'He will surely<S>3318</S> come<S>3318</S> out to me, and stand<S>5975</S> and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God,<S>430</S> and wave<S>5130</S> his hand<S>3027</S> over<S>413</S> the place,<S>4725</S> and cure<S>622</S> the leper.<S>6879</S>'


text:
"Are not Abanah<S>71</S> and Pharpar,<S>6554</S> the rivers<S>5104</S> of Damascus,<S>1834</S> better<S>2896</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> the waters<S>4325</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? Could I not wash<S>7364</S> in them and be clean<S>2891</S>?" So he turned<S>6437</S> and went<S>1980</S> away in a rage.<S>2534</S>


text:
Then his servants<S>5650</S> came<S>5066</S> near<S>5066</S> and spoke<S>1696</S> to him and said,<S>559</S> "My father, had the prophet<S>1</S> told<S>5030</S> you [to do some] great<S>1696</S> thing,<S>1419</S> would you not have done<S>1697</S> [it]? How<S>6213</S> much<S>637</S> <S>637</S> more<S>3588</S> <S>637</S> [then,] when<S>3588</S> he says<S>3588</S> to you, 'Wash,<S>559</S> and be clean<S>7364</S>'?"


text:
So he went<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> and dipped<S>2881</S> [himself] seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S> in the Jordan,<S>3383</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God;<S>430</S> and his flesh<S>1320</S> was restored<S>7725</S> like the flesh<S>1320</S> of a little<S>9512</S> child,<S>5288</S> and he was clean.<S>2891</S>


text:
<pb/>When he returned<S>7725</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> with all<S>3605</S> his company,<S>4264</S> and came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him, he said,<S>559</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> I know<S>3045</S> that there<S>369</S> is no<S>369</S> God<S>430</S> in all<S>3605</S> the earth,<S>776</S> but in Israel;<S>3478</S> so please<S>4994</S> take<S>3947</S> a present<S>1293</S> from your servant<S>5650</S> now.<S>6258</S>"


text:
But he said,<S>559</S> "As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives,<S>2416</S> before<S>6440</S> whom<S>834</S> I stand,<S>5975</S> I will take<S>3947</S> nothing.<S>518</S>" And he urged<S>6484</S> him to take<S>3947</S> [it,] but he refused.<S>3985</S>


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said,<S>559</S> "If not, please<S>4994</S> let your servant<S>5650</S> at least be given<S>5414</S> two<S>6776</S> mules' load<S>4853</S> of earth;<S>127</S> for your servant<S>5650</S> will no<S>3808</S> more<S>5750</S> offer<S>6213</S> burnt<S>5930</S> offering<S>5930</S> nor<S>3808</S> will he sacrifice<S>2077</S> to other<S>312</S> gods,<S>430</S> but to the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
"In this<S>2088</S> matter<S>1697</S> may the Lord<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> your servant:<S>5650</S> when my master<S>113</S> goes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> to worship<S>7812</S> there,<S>8033</S> and he leans<S>8172</S> on my hand<S>3027</S> and I bow<S>7812</S> myself in the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon,<S>7417</S> when I bow<S>7812</S> myself in the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon,<S>7417</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> your servant<S>5650</S> in this<S>2088</S> matter.<S>1697</S>"


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, "Go<S>1980</S> in peace.<S>7965</S>" So he departed<S>1980</S> from him some<S>3530</S> distance.<S>3530</S> <S>776</S>


text:
But Gehazi,<S>1522</S> the servant<S>5288</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> thought,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> my master<S>113</S> has spared<S>2820</S> this<S>2088</S> Naaman<S>5283</S> the Aramean,<S>761</S> by not receiving<S>3947</S> from his hands<S>3027</S> what<S>834</S> he brought.<S>935</S> As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives,<S>2416</S> I will run<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him and take<S>3947</S> something<S>3972</S> from him."


text:
So Gehazi<S>1522</S> pursued<S>7291</S> Naaman.<S>5283</S> When Naaman<S>5283</S> saw<S>7200</S> one running<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him, he came<S>5307</S> down<S>5307</S> from the chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7122</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "Is all well<S>7965</S>?"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "All is well.<S>7965</S> My master<S>113</S> has sent<S>7971</S> me, saying,<S>559</S> 'Behold,<S>2009</S> just<S>2088</S> now<S>6258</S> two<S>8147</S> young<S>5288</S> men<S>5288</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> have come<S>935</S> to me from the hill<S>2022</S> country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim.<S>669</S> Please<S>4994</S> give<S>5414</S> them a talent<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and two<S>8147</S> changes<S>2487</S> of clothes.<S>899</S>'"


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said,<S>559</S> "Be pleased<S>2974</S> to take<S>3947</S> two talents.<S>3603</S>" And he urged<S>6555</S> him, and bound<S>6696</S> two talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> in two<S>8147</S> bags<S>2754</S> with two<S>8147</S> changes<S>2487</S> of clothes,<S>899</S> and gave<S>5414</S> them to two<S>8147</S> of his servants;<S>5288</S> and they carried<S>5375</S> [them] before<S>6440</S> him.


text:
When he came<S>935</S> to the hill,<S>6076</S> he took<S>3947</S> them from their hand<S>3027</S> and deposited<S>6485</S> them in the house,<S>1004</S> and he sent<S>7971</S> the men<S>376</S> away,<S>7971</S> and they departed.<S>1980</S>


text:
<pb/>But he went<S>935</S> in and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>413</S> his master.<S>113</S> And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Where<S>575</S> have you been, Gehazi<S>1522</S>?" And he said,<S>559</S> "Your servant<S>5650</S> went<S>1980</S> nowhere.<S>3808</S> <S>575</S>"


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to him, "Did not my heart<S>3820</S> go<S>1980</S> [with you,] when<S>9201</S> the man<S>376</S> turned<S>2015</S> from his chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7122</S> you? Is it a time<S>6256</S> to receive<S>3947</S> money<S>3701</S> and to receive<S>3947</S> clothes<S>899</S> and olive<S>2132</S> groves<S>2132</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S> and sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> and male<S>5650</S> and female<S>8198</S> servants<S>5650</S> <S>8198</S>?


text:
"Therefore, the leprosy<S>6883</S> of Naaman<S>5283</S> shall cleave<S>1692</S> to you and to your descendants<S>2233</S> forever.<S>5769</S>" So he went<S>3318</S> out from his presence<S>6440</S> a leper<S>6879</S> [as white] as snow.<S>7950</S>


text:
<pb/>Now the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha,<S>477</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> now,<S>4994</S> the place<S>4725</S> before<S>6440</S> you where<S>834</S> <S>8033</S> we are living<S>3427</S> is too<S>4480</S> limited<S>9495</S> for us.


text:
"Please<S>4994</S> let us go<S>1980</S> to the Jordan,<S>3383</S> and each<S>376</S> of us take<S>3947</S> from there<S>8033</S> a beam,<S>6982</S> and let us make<S>6213</S> a place<S>4725</S> there<S>8033</S> for ourselves where<S>8033</S> we may live.<S>3427</S>" So he said,<S>559</S> "Go.<S>1980</S>"


text:
Then one<S>259</S> said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> be willing<S>2974</S> to go<S>1980</S> with your servants.<S>5650</S>" And he answered,<S>559</S> "I shall go.<S>1980</S>"


text:
So he went<S>1980</S> with them; and when they came<S>935</S> to the Jordan,<S>3383</S> they cut<S>1504</S> down<S>1504</S> trees.<S>6086</S>


text:
But as one<S>259</S> was felling<S>5307</S> a beam,<S>6982</S> the axe<S>1270</S> head<S>1270</S> fell<S>5307</S> into the water;<S>4325</S> and he cried<S>6817</S> out and said,<S>559</S> "Alas,<S>162</S> my master!<S>113</S> For it was borrowed.<S>7592</S>"


text:
Then the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said,<S>559</S> "Where<S>575</S> did it fall<S>5307</S>?" And when he showed<S>7200</S> him the place,<S>4725</S> he cut<S>7094</S> off<S>7094</S> a stick,<S>6086</S> and threw<S>7993</S> [it] in there,<S>8033</S> and made the iron<S>1270</S> float.<S>6687</S>


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Take<S>7311</S> it up for yourself." So he put<S>7971</S> out his hand<S>3027</S> and took<S>3947</S> it.


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> was warring<S>3898</S> against Israel;<S>3478</S> and he counseled<S>3289</S> with his servants<S>5650</S> saying,<S>559</S> "In such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S> shall be my camp.<S>8466</S>"


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> sent<S>7971</S> [word] to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Beware<S>8104</S> that you do not pass<S>5674</S> this<S>2088</S> place,<S>4725</S> for the Arameans<S>758</S> are coming<S>5185</S> down<S>5185</S> there.<S>8033</S>"


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the place<S>4725</S> about which<S>834</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had told<S>559</S> him; thus he warned<S>2094</S> him, so that he guarded<S>8104</S> himself there,<S>8033</S> more than once<S>259</S> or twice.<S>8147</S>


text:
Now the heart<S>3820</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> was enraged<S>5590</S> over<S>5921</S> this<S>2088</S> thing;<S>1697</S> and he called<S>7121</S> his servants<S>5650</S> and said<S>559</S> to them, "Will you tell<S>5046</S> me which<S>4310</S> of us is for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?"


text:
And one<S>259</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> said,<S>559</S> "No,<S>3808</S> my lord,<S>113</S> O king;<S>4428</S> but Elisha,<S>477</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> is in Israel,<S>3478</S> tells<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> the words<S>1697</S> that you speak<S>1696</S> in your bedroom.<S>2315</S> <S>4904</S>"


text:
So he said,<S>559</S> "Go<S>1980</S> and see<S>7200</S> where<S>351</S> he is, that I may send<S>7971</S> and take<S>3947</S> him." And it was told<S>5046</S> him, saying,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> he is in Dothan.<S>1886</S>"


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> and a great<S>3515</S> army<S>2428</S> there,<S>8033</S> and they came<S>935</S> by night<S>3915</S> and surrounded<S>5362</S> the city.<S>5892</S>


text:
<pb/>Now when the attendant<S>8334</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had risen<S>6965</S> early<S>7925</S> and gone<S>3318</S> out, behold,<S>2009</S> an army<S>2428</S> with horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> was circling<S>5437</S> the city.<S>5892</S> And his servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Alas,<S>162</S> my master!<S>113</S> What<S>351</S> shall we do<S>6213</S>?"


text:
So he answered,<S>559</S> "Do not fear,<S>3372</S> for those who<S>834</S> are with us are more<S>7227</S> than<S>4480</S> those who<S>834</S> are with them."


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> prayed<S>6419</S> and said,<S>559</S> "O Lord,<S>3068</S> I pray,<S>4994</S> open<S>6491</S> his eyes<S>5869</S> that he may see.<S>7200</S>" And the Lord<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> the servant's eyes,<S>5869</S> and he saw;<S>7200</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> the mountain<S>2022</S> was full<S>4390</S> of horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> of fire<S>784</S> all<S>5439</S> around<S>5439</S> Elisha.<S>477</S>


text:
And when they came<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to him, Elisha<S>477</S> prayed<S>6419</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Strike<S>5221</S> this<S>2088</S> people<S>1471</S> with blindness,<S>5575</S> I pray.<S>4994</S>" So He struck<S>5221</S> them with blindness<S>5575</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elisha.<S>477</S>


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to them, "This<S>2088</S> is not the way,<S>1870</S> nor<S>3808</S> is this<S>2090</S> the city;<S>5892</S> follow<S>1980</S> <S>310</S> me and I will bring<S>1980</S> you to the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> you seek.<S>1245</S>" And he brought<S>1980</S> them to Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
<pb/>And it came<S>1961</S> about when they had come<S>935</S> into Samaria,<S>8111</S> that Elisha<S>477</S> said,<S>559</S> "O Lord,<S>3068</S> open<S>6491</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of these<S>428</S> [men,] that they may see.<S>7200</S>" So the Lord<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> their eyes,<S>5869</S> and they saw;<S>7200</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> they were in the midst<S>8432</S> of Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> when he saw<S>7200</S> them, said<S>559</S> to Elisha,<S>477</S> "My father, shall I kill<S>1</S> them? Shall I kill<S>5221</S> them?"


text:
And he answered,<S>559</S> "You shall not kill<S>5221</S> [them.] Would you kill<S>5221</S> those you have taken<S>7617</S> captive<S>7628</S> with your sword<S>2719</S> and with your bow<S>7198</S>? Set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S> before<S>6440</S> them, that they may eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S> and go<S>1980</S> to their master.<S>113</S>"


text:
So he prepared<S>9223</S> a great<S>1419</S> feast<S>3740</S> for them; and when they had eaten<S>398</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> he sent<S>7971</S> them away,<S>7971</S> and they went<S>1980</S> to their master.<S>113</S> And the marauding<S>1416</S> bands<S>1416</S> of Arameans<S>758</S> did<S>3254</S> not come<S>935</S> again<S>5750</S> <S>3254</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>

Now it came<S>1961</S> about after<S>310</S> this,<S>3651</S> that Ben-hadad king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all<S>3605</S> his army<S>4264</S> and went<S>5927</S> up and besieged<S>6696</S> <S>5921</S> Samaria.<S>8111</S>


text:
And there was a great<S>1419</S> famine<S>7458</S> in Samaria;<S>8111</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> they besieged<S>6696</S> <S>5921</S> it, until<S>5704</S> a donkey's head<S>7218</S> was sold<S>1961</S> for eighty<S>8084</S> [shekels] of silver,<S>3701</S> and a fourth<S>7255</S> of a kab<S>6894</S> of dove's dung<S>1686</S> for five<S>2568</S> [shekels] of silver.<S>3701</S>


text:
<pb/>And as the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> was passing<S>5674</S> by on the wall<S>2346</S> a woman<S>802</S> cried<S>6817</S> out to him, saying,<S>559</S> "Help,<S>3467</S> my lord,<S>113</S> O king!<S>4428</S>"


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "If the Lord<S>3068</S> does not help<S>3467</S> you, from where<S>370</S> shall I help<S>3467</S> you? From the threshing<S>1637</S> floor,<S>1637</S> or<S>176</S> from the wine<S>3342</S> press<S>3342</S>?"


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her, "What<S>4100</S> is the matter with you?" And she answered,<S>559</S> "This<S>2088</S> woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to me, 'Give<S>5414</S> your son<S>1121</S> that we may eat<S>398</S> him today,<S>3117</S> and we will eat<S>398</S> my son<S>1121</S> tomorrow.<S>4279</S>'


text:
"So we boiled<S>1310</S> my son<S>1121</S> and ate<S>398</S> him; and I said<S>559</S> to her on the next<S>312</S> day,<S>3117</S> 'Give<S>5414</S> your son,<S>1121</S> that we may eat<S>398</S> him'; but she has hidden<S>2244</S> her son.<S>1121</S>"


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when the king<S>4428</S> heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the woman,<S>802</S> that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S> – now he was passing<S>5674</S> by on the wall<S>2346</S> – and the people<S>5971</S> looked,<S>7200</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> he had sackcloth<S>8242</S> beneath<S>1004</S> on his body.<S>1320</S>


text:
Then he said,<S>559</S> "May God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> to me and more<S>3254</S> also,<S>3541</S> if<S>518</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> remains<S>5975</S> on him today.<S>3117</S>"


text:
<pb/>Now Elisha<S>477</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> in his house,<S>1004</S> and the elders<S>2205</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> with him. And [the king] sent<S>7971</S> a man<S>376</S> from his presence;<S>6440</S> but before<S>2962</S> the messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to him, he said<S>559</S> to the elders,<S>2205</S> "Do you see<S>7200</S> how<S>3588</S> this<S>2088</S> son<S>1121</S> of a murderer<S>7523</S> has sent<S>7971</S> to take<S>5493</S> away<S>5493</S> my head<S>7218</S>? Look,<S>7200</S> when the messenger<S>4397</S> comes,<S>935</S> shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> and hold<S>3905</S> the door<S>1817</S> shut<S>3905</S> against him. Is not the sound<S>6963</S> of his master's feet<S>7272</S> behind<S>310</S> him?"


text:
And while he was still<S>5750</S> talking<S>1696</S> with them, behold,<S>2009</S> the messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to him, and he said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> this<S>2088</S> evil<S>9567</S> is from the Lord;<S>3068</S> why<S>4100</S> should I wait<S>3176</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> any<S>5750</S> longer<S>5750</S>?"


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> said,<S>559</S> "Listen<S>8085</S> to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord;<S>3068</S> thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'Tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> a measure<S>5429</S> of fine<S>5560</S> flour<S>5560</S> shall be [sold] for a shekel,<S>8255</S> and two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel,<S>8255</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria.<S>8111</S>'"


text:
And the royal<S>4428</S> officer<S>7991</S> on whose<S>834</S> hand<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> was leaning<S>8172</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> if the Lord<S>3068</S> should make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven,<S>8064</S> could this<S>2088</S> thing<S>1697</S> be?" Then he said,<S>559</S> "Behold<S>2009</S> you shall see<S>7200</S> it with your own eyes,<S>5869</S> but you shall not eat<S>398</S> of it."


text:
<pb/>Now there were four<S>702</S> leprous<S>6879</S> men<S>376</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate;<S>8179</S> and they said<S>559</S> to one<S>376</S> another,<S>7453</S> "Why<S>4100</S> do we sit<S>3427</S> here<S>6311</S> until<S>5704</S> we die<S>4191</S>?


text:
"If<S>518</S> we say,<S>559</S> 'We will enter<S>935</S> the city,<S>5892</S>' then the famine<S>7458</S> is in the city<S>5892</S> and we shall die<S>4191</S> there;<S>8033</S> and if<S>518</S> we sit<S>3427</S> here,<S>6311</S> we die<S>4191</S> also.

text:
And they arose<S>6965</S> at twilight<S>5399</S> to go<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Arameans;<S>758</S> when they came<S>935</S> to the outskirts<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Arameans,<S>758</S> behold,<S>2009</S> there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> one<S>376</S> there.<S>8033</S>


text:
For the Lord<S>136</S> had caused the army<S>4264</S> of the Arameans<S>758</S> to hear<S>8085</S> a sound<S>6963</S> of chariots<S>7393</S> and a sound<S>6963</S> of horses,<S>5483</S> [even] the sound<S>6963</S> of a great<S>1419</S> army,<S>2428</S> so that they said<S>559</S> to one<S>376</S> another,<S>251</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> has hired<S>7936</S> against<S>5921</S> us the kings<S>4428</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S> and the kings<S>4428</S> of the Egyptians,<S>4714</S> to come<S>935</S> upon us."


text:
Therefore they arose<S>6965</S> and fled<S>5127</S> in the twilight,<S>5399</S> and left<S>5800</S> their tents<S>168</S> and their horses<S>5483</S> and their donkeys,<S>2543</S> even the camp<S>4264</S> just<S>9201</S> as it was, and fled<S>5127</S> for their life.<S>5315</S>


text:
When these<S>428</S> lepers<S>6879</S> came<S>935</S> to the outskirts<S>7097</S> of the camp,<S>4264</S> they entered<S>935</S> one<S>259</S> tent<S>168</S> and ate<S>398</S> and drank,<S>8354</S> and carried<S>5375</S> from there<S>8033</S> silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> and clothes,<S>899</S> and went<S>1980</S> and hid<S>2934</S> [them]; and they returned<S>7725</S> and entered<S>935</S> another<S>312</S> tent<S>168</S> and carried<S>5375</S> from there<S>8033</S> [also,] and went<S>1980</S> and hid<S>2934</S> [them.]


text:
Then they said<S>559</S> to one<S>376</S> another,<S>7453</S> "We are not doing<S>6213</S> right.<S>9210</S> This<S>2088</S> day<S>3117</S> is a day<S>3117</S> of good news,<S>1309</S> but we are keeping<S>2814</S> silent;<S>2814</S> if we wait<S>2442</S> until<S>5704</S> morning<S>1242</S> light,<S>216</S> punishment<S>5771</S> will overtake<S>4672</S> us.

text:
So they came<S>935</S> and called<S>7121</S> to the gatekeepers<S>7778</S> of the city,<S>5892</S> and they told<S>5046</S> them, saying,<S>559</S> "We came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Arameans,<S>758</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> one<S>376</S> there,<S>8033</S> nor<S>369</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of man,<S>120</S> only<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> the horses<S>5483</S> tied<S>631</S> and the donkeys<S>2543</S> tied,<S>631</S> and the tents<S>168</S> just<S>9201</S> as they were."


text:
And the gatekeepers<S>7778</S> called,<S>7121</S> and told<S>5046</S> [it] within<S>6441</S> the king's household.<S>1004</S>


text:
<pb/>Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S> in the night<S>3915</S> and said<S>559</S> to his servants,<S>5650</S> "I will now<S>4994</S> tell<S>5046</S> you what<S>834</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> have done<S>6213</S> to us. They know<S>3045</S> that we are hungry;<S>7457</S> therefore they have gone<S>3318</S> from the camp<S>4264</S> to hide<S>2247</S> themselves in the field,<S>7704</S> saying,<S>559</S> 'When<S>3588</S> they come<S>3318</S> out of the city,<S>5892</S> we shall capture<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S> and get<S>935</S> into the city.<S>5892</S>'"


text:
And one<S>259</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please,<S>4994</S> let some [men] take<S>3947</S> five<S>2568</S> of the horses<S>5483</S> which remain,<S>7604</S> which<S>834</S> are left<S>7604</S> in the city. Behold,<S>2009</S> they [will be in any case] like all<S>3605</S> the multitude<S>1995</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who<S>834</S> are left<S>7604</S> in it; behold,<S>2009</S> they [will be in any case] like all<S>3605</S> the multitude<S>1995</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who<S>834</S> have already perished,<S>8552</S> so let us send<S>7971</S> and see.<S>7200</S>"


text:
They took<S>3947</S> therefore two<S>8147</S> chariots<S>7393</S> with horses,<S>5483</S> and the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> after<S>310</S> the army<S>4264</S> of the Arameans,<S>758</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Go<S>1980</S> and see.<S>7200</S>"


text:
And they went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> them to the Jordan,<S>3383</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> all<S>3605</S> the way<S>1870</S> was full<S>4392</S> of clothes<S>899</S> and equipment,<S>3627</S> which<S>834</S> the Arameans<S>758</S> had thrown<S>7993</S> away<S>7993</S> in their haste.<S>2648</S> Then the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S> and told<S>5046</S> the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3318</S> out and plundered<S>962</S> the camp<S>4264</S> of the Arameans.<S>758</S> Then a measure<S>5429</S> of fine<S>5560</S> flour<S>5560</S> [was sold] for a shekel<S>8255</S> and two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel,<S>8255</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
<pb/>Now the king<S>4428</S> appointed<S>6485</S> the royal<S>7991</S> officer<S>7991</S> on whose<S>834</S> hand<S>3027</S> he leaned<S>8172</S> to have<S>5921</S> charge<S>5921</S> of the gate;<S>8179</S> but the people<S>5971</S> trampled<S>7429</S> on him at the gate,<S>8179</S> and he died<S>4191</S> just<S>9201</S> as the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had said,<S>1696</S> who<S>834</S> spoke<S>1696</S> when the king<S>4428</S> came<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to him.


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about just as the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S> and a measure<S>5429</S> of fine<S>5560</S> flour<S>5560</S> for a shekel,<S>8255</S> shall be [sold] tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria.<S>8111</S>"


text:
Then the royal<S>7991</S> officer<S>7991</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Now behold,<S>2009</S> if the Lord<S>3068</S> should make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven,<S>8064</S> could such<S>2088</S> a thing<S>1697</S> be?" And he said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> you shall see<S>7200</S> it with your own eyes,<S>5869</S> but you shall not eat<S>398</S> of it."

And so<S>3651</S> it happened<S>1961</S> to him, for the people<S>5971</S> trampled<S>7429</S> on him at the gate,<S>8179</S> and he died.<S>4191</S>

<pb/>Now Elisha<S>477</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to the woman<S>802</S> whose<S>834</S> son<S>1121</S> he had restored<S>2421</S> to life,<S>2421</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Arise<S>6965</S> and go<S>1980</S> with your household,<S>1004</S> and sojourn<S>1481</S> wherever<S>834</S> you can sojourn;<S>1481</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> has called<S>7121</S> for a famine,<S>7458</S> and it shall even<S>1571</S> come<S>935</S> on the land<S>776</S> for seven<S>7651</S> years.<S>8141</S>"

So the woman<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> and she went<S>1980</S> with her household<S>1004</S> and sojourned<S>1481</S> in the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> years.<S>8141</S>

Now the king<S>4428</S> was talking<S>1696</S> with Gehazi,<S>1522</S> the servant<S>5288</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God,<S>430</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Please<S>4994</S> relate<S>5608</S> to me all<S>3605</S> the great<S>1419</S> things<S>1419</S> that Elisha<S>477</S> has done.<S>6213</S>"

So Hazael<S>2371</S> went<S>1980</S> to meet<S>7122</S> him and took<S>3947</S> a gift<S>4503</S> in his hand,<S>3027</S> even every<S>3605</S> kind of good<S>2898</S> thing<S>2898</S> of Damascus,<S>1834</S> forty<S>705</S> camels' loads;<S>4853</S> and he came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "Your son<S>1121</S> Ben-hadad king<S>4428</S> of Aram<S>758</S> has sent<S>7971</S> me to you, saying,<S>559</S> 'Will I recover<S>2421</S> from this<S>2088</S> sickness<S>2483</S>?'"

And Hazael<S>2371</S> said,<S>559</S> "Why<S>4069</S> does my lord<S>113</S> weep<S>1058</S>?"

Then Hazael<S>2371</S> said,<S>559</S> "But what<S>4100</S> is your servant,<S>5650</S> [who is but] a dog,<S>3611</S> that he should do<S>6213</S> this<S>2088</S> great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>?"

Then Joram<S>3141</S> crossed<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> to Zair,<S>6811</S> and all<S>3605</S> his chariots<S>7393</S> with him.

Then Joram<S>3088</S> said,<S>559</S> "Get<S>631</S> ready.<S>631</S>" And they made<S>631</S> his chariot<S>7393</S> ready.<S>631</S> And Joram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3318</S> out, each<S>376</S> in his chariot,<S>7393</S> and they went<S>3318</S> out to meet<S>7122</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> and found<S>4672</S> him in the property<S>2513</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite.<S>3158</S>

<pb/>And it came<S>1961</S> about, when Joram<S>3088</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehu,<S>3058</S> that he said,<S>559</S> "Is it peace,<S>7965</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>?" And he answered,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> peace,<S>7965</S> so<S>5704</S> long<S>5704</S> as the harlotries<S>2183</S> of your mother<S>517</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> and her witchcrafts<S>3785</S> are so many<S>7227</S>?"


text:
So Joram<S>3088</S> reined<S>2015</S> <S>3027</S> about<S>2015</S> <S>3027</S> and fled<S>5127</S> and said<S>559</S> to Ahaziah,<S>274</S> "[There is] treachery,<S>4820</S> O Ahaziah!<S>274</S>"

And Jehu<S>3058</S> drew<S>4390</S> his bow<S>7198</S> with his full<S>4390</S> strength<S>3027</S> and shot<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3088</S> between<S>996</S> his arms;<S>2220</S> and the arrow<S>2678</S> went<S>3318</S> through<S>3318</S> his heart,<S>3820</S> and he sank<S>3766</S> in his chariot.<S>7393</S>


text:
Then [Jehu] said<S>559</S> to Bidkar<S>920</S> his officer,<S>7991</S> "Take<S>5375</S> [him] up and cast<S>7993</S> him into the property<S>2513</S> of the field<S>7704</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite,<S>3158</S> for I remember<S>2142</S> when you and I were riding<S>7392</S> together<S>6776</S> after<S>310</S> Ahab<S>256</S> his father, that the Lord<S>1</S> laid<S>3068</S> this<S>5375</S> oracle<S>2088</S> against<S>9294</S> him: 


text:
'Surely<S>518</S> <S>3808</S> I have seen<S>7200</S> yesterday<S>570</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> and the blood<S>1818</S> of his sons,<S>1121</S>' says<S>5002</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> 'and I will repay<S>9608</S> you in this<S>2088</S> property,<S>2513</S>' says<S>5002</S> the Lord.<S>3068</S> Now<S>6258</S> then, take<S>5375</S> and cast<S>7993</S> him into the property,<S>2513</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> "


text:
<pb/>When Ahaziah<S>274</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> saw<S>7200</S> [this,] he fled<S>5127</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the garden<S>1588</S> house.<S>1004</S> And Jehu<S>3058</S> pursued<S>7291</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "Shoot<S>5221</S> him too,<S>1571</S> in the chariot.<S>4818</S>" [So they shot him] at the ascent<S>4608</S> of Gur,<S>1483</S> which<S>834</S> is at Ibleam.<S>2991</S> But he fled<S>5127</S> to Megiddo<S>4023</S> and died<S>4191</S> there.<S>8033</S>


text:
Then his servants<S>5650</S> carried<S>7392</S> him in a chariot<S>7392</S> to Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> and buried<S>6912</S> him in his grave<S>6900</S> with his fathers in the city<S>1</S> of David.<S>5892</S>


text:
Now in the eleventh<S>259</S> <S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram,<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab,<S>256</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S> became<S>4427</S> king<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> Judah.<S>3063</S>


text:
<pb/>When Jehu<S>3058</S> came<S>935</S> to Jezreel,<S>3157</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> heard<S>8085</S> [of it,] and she painted<S>7760</S> <S>6320</S> her eyes<S>5869</S> and adorned<S>3190</S> her head,<S>7218</S> and looked<S>8259</S> out the window.<S>2474</S>


text:
And as Jehu<S>3058</S> entered<S>935</S> the gate,<S>8179</S> she said,<S>559</S> "Is it well,<S>7965</S> Zimri,<S>2174</S> your master's murderer<S>2026</S>?"


text:
Then he lifted<S>5375</S> up his face<S>6440</S> to the window<S>2474</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Who<S>4310</S> is on my side<S>854</S>? Who<S>4310</S>?" And two<S>8147</S> or three<S>7969</S> officials<S>5631</S> looked<S>8259</S> down<S>8259</S> at him.


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Throw<S>8058</S> her down.<S>8058</S>" So they threw<S>8058</S> her down,<S>8058</S> and some<S>4480</S> of her blood<S>1818</S> was sprinkled<S>5137</S> on the wall<S>7023</S> and on the horses,<S>5483</S> and he trampled<S>7429</S> her under foot.


text:
When he came<S>935</S> in, he ate<S>398</S> and drank;<S>8354</S> and he said,<S>559</S> "See<S>6485</S> now<S>4994</S> to this<S>2088</S> cursed<S>779</S> woman<S>779</S> and bury<S>6912</S> her, for she is a king's daughter.<S>1323</S>"


text:
And they went<S>1980</S> to bury<S>6912</S> her, but they found<S>4672</S> no<S>3808</S> more<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> of her than<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> the skull<S>1538</S> and the feet<S>7272</S> and the palms<S>3709</S> of her hands.<S>3027</S>


text:
Therefore they returned<S>7725</S> and told<S>5046</S> him. And he said,<S>559</S> "This<S>1931</S> is the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> which<S>834</S> He spoke<S>1696</S> by His servant<S>5650</S> Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite,<S>8664</S> saying,<S>559</S> 'In the property<S>2506</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S> the dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S> the flesh<S>1320</S> of Jezebel;<S>348</S>


text:
and the corpse<S>5038</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S> shall be as dung<S>1828</S> on the face<S>6440</S> of the field<S>7704</S> in the property<S>2506</S> of Jezreel,<S>3157</S> so<S>834</S> they cannot<S>3808</S> say,<S>559</S> "This<S>2088</S> is Jezebel.<S>348</S>"' "


text:
<pb/>Now Ahab<S>256</S> had seventy<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> in Samaria.<S>8111</S> And Jehu<S>3058</S> wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> and sent<S>7971</S> [them] to Samaria,<S>8111</S> to the rulers<S>8269</S> of Jezreel,<S>3157</S> the elders,<S>2205</S> and to the guardians<S>539</S> of [the children of] Ahab,<S>256</S> saying,<S>559</S>


text:
"And now,<S>6258</S> when this<S>2088</S> letter<S>5612</S> comes<S>935</S> to you, since your master's sons<S>1121</S> are with you, as well as the chariots<S>7393</S> and horses<S>5483</S> and a fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S> and the weapons,<S>5402</S>

select<S>7200</S> the best<S>2896</S> and fittest<S>3477</S> of your master's sons,<S>1121</S> and set<S>7760</S> [him] on his father's throne,<S>3678</S> and fight<S>3898</S> for your master's house.<S>1004</S> "


text:
<pb/>But they feared<S>3372</S> greatly<S>3966</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> the two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> did not stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him; how<S>349</S> then can we stand<S>5975</S>?"

And the one who<S>834</S> [was] over<S>5921</S> the household,<S>1004</S> and he who<S>834</S> [was] over<S>5921</S> the city,<S>5892</S> the elders,<S>2205</S> and the guardians<S>539</S> of [the children,] sent<S>7971</S> [word] to Jehu,<S>3058</S> saying,<S>559</S> "We are your servants,<S>5650</S> all<S>3605</S> that you say<S>559</S> to us we will do,<S>6213</S> we will not make<S>4427</S> any<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> king;<S>4427</S> do<S>6213</S> what<S>2896</S> is good<S>2896</S> in your sight.<S>5869</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then he wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to them a second<S>8145</S> time<S>8145</S> saying,<S>559</S> "If<S>518</S> you are on my side, and you will listen<S>8085</S> to my voice,<S>6963</S> take<S>3947</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of the men,<S>376</S> your master's sons,<S>1121</S> and come<S>935</S> to me at Jezreel<S>3157</S> tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time.<S>6256</S>" Now the king's sons,<S>1121</S> seventy<S>7657</S> persons,<S>376</S> [were] with the great<S>1419</S> men<S>1419</S> of the city,<S>5892</S> [who] were rearing<S>1431</S> them.


text:
And it came<S>1961</S> about when the letter<S>5612</S> came<S>935</S> to them, that they took<S>3947</S> the king's sons,<S>1121</S> and slaughtered<S>7819</S> [them,] seventy<S>7657</S> persons,<S>376</S> and put<S>7760</S> their heads<S>7218</S> in baskets,<S>1731</S> and sent<S>7971</S> [them] to him at Jezreel.<S>3157</S>


text:
When the messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> him, saying,<S>559</S> "They have brought<S>935</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of the king's sons,<S>1121</S>" he said,<S>559</S> "Put<S>7760</S> them in two<S>8147</S> heaps<S>6652</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> until<S>5704</S> morning.<S>1242</S>"


text:
Now it came<S>1961</S> about in the morning,<S>1242</S> that he went<S>3318</S> out and stood,<S>5975</S> and said<S>559</S> to all<S>3605</S> the people,<S>5971</S> "You are innocent;<S>6662</S> behold,<S>2009</S> I conspired<S>7194</S> against<S>5921</S> my master<S>113</S> and killed<S>2026</S> him, but who<S>4310</S> killed<S>5221</S> all<S>3605</S> these<S>428</S>?

"Know<S>3045</S> then<S>645</S> that there shall fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> nothing<S>3808</S> of the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> which<S>834</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> concerning<S>5921</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab,<S>256</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> what<S>834</S> He spoke<S>1696</S> through<S>3027</S> His servant<S>5650</S> Elijah.<S>452</S>"


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> killed<S>5221</S> all<S>3605</S> who remained<S>7604</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel,<S>3157</S> and all<S>3605</S> his great<S>1419</S> men<S>1419</S> and his acquaintances<S>3045</S> and his priests,<S>3548</S> until<S>5704</S> he left<S>7604</S> him without<S>1115</S> a survivor.<S>8300</S>


text:
<pb/>Then he arose<S>6965</S> and departed,<S>935</S> and went<S>1980</S> to Samaria.<S>8111</S> On the way<S>1870</S> while he was at Beth-eked of the shepherds,<S>7462</S>


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> met<S>4672</S> the relatives<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Who<S>4310</S> are you?" And they answered,<S>559</S> "We are the relatives<S>251</S> of Ahaziah;<S>274</S> and we have come<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to greet<S>7965</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and the sons<S>1121</S> of the queen<S>1377</S> mother.<S>1377</S>"

And he said,<S>559</S> "Take<S>8610</S> them alive.<S>2416</S>" So they took<S>8610</S> them alive,<S>2416</S> and killed<S>7819</S> them at the pit<S>953</S> of Beth-eked, forty-two men;<S>376</S> and he left<S>7604</S> none<S>3808</S> <S>376</S> of them.


text:
<pb/>Now when he had departed<S>1980</S> from there,<S>8033</S> he met<S>4672</S> Jehonadab<S>3082</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab<S>7394</S> [coming] to meet<S>7122</S> him; and he greeted<S>1288</S> him and said<S>559</S> to him, "Is your heart<S>3824</S> right,<S>3477</S> as my heart<S>3824</S> is with your heart<S>3824</S>?" And Jehonadab<S>3082</S> answered,<S>559</S> "It is." [Jehu said,] "If it is, give<S>5414</S> [me] your hand.<S>3027</S>" And he gave<S>5414</S> him his hand,<S>3027</S> and he took<S>5927</S> him up to him into the chariot.<S>4818</S>


text:
And he said,<S>559</S> "Come<S>1980</S> with me and see<S>7200</S> my zeal<S>7068</S> for the Lord.<S>3068</S>" So he made him ride<S>7392</S> in his chariot.<S>7393</S>


text:
And when he came<S>935</S> to Samaria,<S>8111</S> he killed<S>5221</S> all<S>3605</S> who remained<S>7604</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> in Samaria,<S>8111</S> until<S>5704</S> he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> which<S>834</S> He spoke<S>1696</S> to Elijah.<S>452</S>


text:
Then Jehu<S>3058</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> and said<S>559</S> to them, "Ahab<S>256</S> served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S> a little;<S>4592</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> will serve<S>5647</S> him much.<S>7235</S>

"And now,<S>6258</S> summon<S>7121</S> all<S>3605</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal,<S>1168</S> all<S>3605</S> his worshipers<S>5647</S> and all<S>3605</S> his priests;<S>3548</S> let no<S>408</S> one<S>376</S> be missing,<S>6485</S> for I have a great<S>1419</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> for Baal;<S>1168</S> whoever<S>3605</S> <S>834</S> is missing<S>6485</S> shall not live.<S>2421</S>" But Jehu<S>3058</S> did<S>6213</S> it in cunning,<S>6122</S> in order<S>4616</S> that he might destroy the worshipers<S>6</S> of Baal.<S>5647</S>


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> said,<S>559</S> "Sanctify<S>6942</S> a solemn<S>6116</S> assembly<S>6116</S> for Baal.<S>1168</S>" And they proclaimed<S>7121</S> [it.]

Then Jehu<S>3058</S> sent<S>7971</S> throughout<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> and all<S>3605</S> the worshipers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> came,<S>935</S> so that there was not a man<S>376</S> left<S>7604</S> who<S>834</S> did not come.<S>935</S> And when they went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal,<S>1168</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> was filled<S>4390</S> from one<S>6310</S> end<S>6310</S> to the other.<S>6310</S>

And he said<S>559</S> to the one who<S>834</S> [was] in charge<S>5921</S> of the wardrobe,<S>4458</S> "Bring<S>3318</S> out garments<S>3830</S> for all<S>3605</S> the worshipers<S>5647</S> of Baal.<S>1168</S>" So he brought<S>3318</S> out garments<S>4403</S> for them.

And Jehu<S>3058</S> went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> with Jehonadab<S>3082</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab;<S>7394</S> and he said<S>559</S> to the worshipers<S>5647</S> of Baal,<S>1168</S> "Search<S>2664</S> and see<S>7200</S> that there<S>3426</S> may be here<S>6311</S> with you none<S>6435</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> but only<S>905</S> the worshipers<S>5647</S> of Baal.<S>1168</S>"

So he was hidden<S>2244</S> with her in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> six<S>8337</S> years,<S>8141</S> while Athaliah<S>6271</S> was reigning<S>4427</S> over<S>5921</S> the land.<S>776</S>

<pb/>Now in the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> Jehoiada<S>3077</S> sent<S>7971</S> and brought<S>3947</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> of the Carites<S>3746</S> and of the guard,<S>7323</S> and brought<S>935</S> them to him in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> Then he made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with them and put<S>7650</S> them under<S>7650</S> oath<S>7650</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> and showed<S>7200</S> them the king's son.<S>1121</S>

(one third<S>7992</S> also [shall be] at the gate<S>8179</S> Sur,<S>5495</S> and one third<S>7992</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> behind<S>310</S> the guards<S>7323</S>), shall keep<S>8104</S> watch<S>4931</S> over the house<S>1004</S> for defense.<S>4535</S>

"Then you shall surround<S>5362</S> <S>5439</S> <S>5921</S> the king,<S>4428</S> each<S>376</S> with his weapons in his hand;<S>3027</S> and whoever comes<S>935</S> within<S>413</S> the ranks<S>7713</S> shall be put<S>4191</S> to death.<S>4191</S> And be with the king<S>4428</S> when he goes<S>3318</S> out and when he comes<S>935</S> in."

<pb/>So the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> did<S>6213</S> according to all<S>3605</S> that Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded.<S>6680</S> And each<S>376</S> one<S>376</S> of them took<S>3947</S> his men<S>376</S> who were to come<S>935</S> in on the sabbath,<S>7676</S> with those who were to go<S>3318</S> out on the sabbath,<S>7676</S> and came<S>935</S> to Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest.<S>3548</S>

Then he brought<S>3318</S> the king<S>4427</S>'s son<S>1121</S> out and put<S>5414</S> the crown<S>5145</S> on him, and [gave him] the testimony;<S>5715</S> and they made<S>4427</S> him king<S>4428</S> and anointed<S>4886</S> him, and they clapped<S>5221</S> their hands<S>3709</S> and said,<S>559</S> "[Long] live<S>2421</S> the king!"

<pb/>Then Jehoiada<S>3077</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> between<S>996</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> and the king<S>4428</S> and the people,<S>5971</S> that they should be the Lord's people,<S>5971</S> also between<S>996</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the people.<S>5971</S>

In the seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehu,<S>3058</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> became<S>4427</S> king,<S>4427</S> and he reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem;<S>3389</S> and his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Zibiah<S>6645</S> of Beersheba.<S>884</S>

Only<S>7534</S> the high<S>1116</S> places<S>1116</S> were not taken<S>5493</S> away;<S>5493</S> the people<S>5971</S> still<S>5750</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burned<S>6999</S> incense<S>6999</S> on the high<S>1116</S> places.<S>1116</S>

let the priests<S>3548</S> take<S>3947</S> it for themselves, each<S>376</S> from his acquaintance;<S>4378</S> and they shall repair<S>2388</S> the damages<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S> wherever<S>3605</S> <S>834</S> <S>8033</S> any damage<S>919</S> may be found.<S>4672</S>

Then King<S>4428</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> called<S>7121</S> for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest,<S>3548</S> and for the [other] priests<S>3548</S> and said<S>559</S> to them, "Why<S>4069</S> do you not repair<S>2388</S> the damages<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>?
