For they <i>are</i> thy people<S>5971</S>, and thy inheritance<S>5159</S>, which thou broughtest<S>3318</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from the midst<S>8432</S> of the furnace<S>3564</S> of iron<S>1270</S>:

For thou didst separate<S>914</S> them from among all the people<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, <i>to be</i> thy inheritance<S>5159</S>, as thou didst speak<S>1696</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> thy servant<S>5650</S>, when thou broughtest<S>3318</S> our fathers<S>1</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> GOD<S>3069</S>.

And it was <i>so</i>, that when Solomon<S>8010</S> had finished<S>3615</S> praying<S>6419</S> all this prayer<S>8605</S> and supplication<S>8467</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, he arose<S>6965</S> from before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, from kneeling<S>3766</S> on his knees<S>1290</S> with his hands<S>3709</S> spread up<S>6566</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.

And he stood<S>5975</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, saying<S>559</S>,

And the king<S>4428</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him, offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>2076</S> a sacrifice<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S>, which he offered<S>2076</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> and all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> dedicated<S>2596</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.

The same day<S>3117</S> did the king<S>4428</S> consecrate<S>6942</S> the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>2691</S> that <i>was </i>before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>: for there he offered<S>6213</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and meat offerings<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>: because the brasen<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> that <i>was </i>before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>was</i> too little<S>6996</S> to receive<S>3557</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and meat offerings<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>.

And at that time<S>6256</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> held<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him, a great<S>1419</S> congregation<S>6951</S>, from the entrance<S>935</S> into Hamath<S>2574</S> to the river<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> and seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, <i>even </i>fourteen<S>702</S> <S>6240</S> days<S>3117</S>.

On the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>: and they blessed<S>1288</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to their tents<S>168</S> joyful<S>8056</S> and glad<S>2896</S> of heart<S>3820</S> for all the goodness<S>2896</S> that the LORD<S>3068</S> had done<S>6213</S> for David<S>1732</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, and for Israel<S>3478</S> his people<S>5971</S>. <n>blessed: or, thanked</n>

And it came to pass, when Solomon<S>8010</S> had finished<S>3615</S> the building<S>1129</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and the king’s<S>4428</S> house<S>1004</S>, and all Solomon’s<S>8010</S> desire<S>2837</S> which he was pleased<S>2654</S> to perform<S>6213</S>,


text:
That the LORD<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, as he had appeared<S>7200</S> to him at Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, I have heard<S>8085</S> thy prayer<S>8605</S> and thy supplication<S>8467</S>, that thou hast made<S>2603</S> before<S>6440</S> me: I have hallowed<S>6942</S> this house<S>1004</S>, which thou hast built<S>1129</S>, to put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> there for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>; and my eyes<S>5869</S> and my heart<S>3820</S> shall be there perpetually<S>3117</S>.


text:
And if thou wilt walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me, as David<S>1732</S> thy father<S>1</S> walked<S>1980</S>, in integrity<S>8537</S> of heart<S>3824</S>, and in uprightness<S>3476</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> thee, <i>and</i> wilt keep<S>8104</S> my statutes<S>2706</S> and my judgments<S>4941</S>:

Then I will establish<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of thy kingdom<S>4467</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, as I promised<S>1696</S> to David<S>1732</S> thy father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There shall not fail<S>3772</S> thee a man<S>376</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Then will I cut off<S>3772</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from<S>6440</S> the land<S>127</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> them; and this house<S>1004</S>, which I have hallowed<S>6942</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, will I cast out<S>7971</S> of my sight<S>6440</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> shall be a proverb<S>4912</S> and a byword<S>8148</S> among all people<S>5971</S>:

And at this house<S>1004</S>, <i>which</i> is high<S>5945</S>, every one that passeth<S>5674</S> by it shall be astonished<S>8074</S>, and shall hiss<S>8319</S>; and they shall say<S>559</S>, Why hath the LORD<S>3068</S> done<S>6213</S> thus to this land<S>776</S>, and to this house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And they shall answer<S>559</S>, Because they forsook<S>5800</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who brought forth<S>3318</S> their fathers<S>1</S> from the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and have taken hold<S>2388</S> upon other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and have worshipped<S>7812</S> them, and served<S>5647</S> them: therefore hath the LORD<S>3068</S> brought<S>935</S> upon them all this evil<S>7451</S>.

And it came to pass at the end<S>7097</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>, when Solomon<S>8010</S> had built<S>1129</S> the two<S>8147</S> houses<S>1004</S>, the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and the king’s<S>4428</S> house<S>1004</S>,

(<i>Now </i>Hiram<S>2438</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> had furnished<S>5375</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> with cedar<S>730</S> trees<S>6086</S> and fir<S>1265</S> trees<S>6086</S>, and with gold<S>2091</S>, according to all his desire<S>2656</S>,) that then<S>227</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Galilee<S>1551</S>.

And Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> one hundred and twenty<S>3967</S> <S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.

For it came to pass, when<S>6256</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> was old<S>2209</S>, <i>that</i> his wives<S>802</S> turned away<S>5186</S> his heart<S>3824</S> after<S>310</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>: and his heart<S>3824</S> was not perfect<S>8003</S> with the LORD<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, as <i>was</i> the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.

For Solomon<S>8010</S> went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the goddess<S>430</S> of the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, and after<S>310</S> Milcom<S>4445</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the Ammonites<S>5984</S>. <n>Milcom: also called, Molech</n>

Then Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> an high place<S>1116</S> for Chemosh<S>3645</S>, the abomination<S>8251</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, in the hill<S>2022</S> that <i>is </i>before<S>6440</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and for Molech<S>4432</S>, the abomination<S>8251</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.

text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> was angry<S>599</S> with Solomon<S>8010</S>, because his heart<S>3824</S> was turned<S>5186</S> from the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who had appeared<S>7200</S> to him twice<S>6471</S>,

Therefore the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept<S>8104</S> my covenant<S>1285</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> thee, I will surely<S>7167</S> rend<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> away from thee, and will give<S>5414</S> it to thy servant<S>5650</S>. <n>is done…: Heb. is with thee</n>

Yet<S>7535</S> I will not rend away<S>7167</S> all the kingdom<S>4467</S>; <i>but</i> will give<S>5414</S> one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> to thy son<S>1121</S> for David<S>1732</S> my servant’s<S>5650</S> sake, and for Jerusalem’s<S>3389</S> sake which I have chosen<S>977</S>.

And the LORD<S>3068</S> stirred up<S>6965</S> an adversary<S>7854</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Hadad<S>1908</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>: he <i>was</i> of the king’s<S>4428</S> seed<S>2233</S> in Edom<S>123</S>.

And Hadad<S>1908</S> found<S>4672</S> great<S>3966</S> favour<S>2580</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>, so that he gave<S>5414</S> him for a wife<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>.

And he was an adversary<S>7854</S> to Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, besides the mischief<S>7451</S> that Hadad<S>1908</S> <i>did</i>: and he abhorred<S>6973</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> over Syria<S>758</S>.

And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, an Ephrathite<S>673</S> of Zereda<S>6868</S>, Solomon’s<S>8010</S> servant<S>5650</S>, whose mother’s<S>517</S> name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Zeruah<S>6871</S>, a widow<S>490</S> woman<S>802</S>, even he raised<S>7311</S> <i>his </i>hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And this <i>was</i> the cause<S>1697</S> why he raised<S>7311</S> <i>his </i>hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>: Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> Millo<S>4407</S>, <i>and </i>repaired<S>5462</S> the breaches<S>6556</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>. <n>repaired: Heb. closed</n>


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> <i>was</i> a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valour<S>2428</S>: and Solomon<S>8010</S> seeing<S>7200</S> the young man<S>5288</S> that he was industrious<S>6213</S> <S>4399</S>, he made him ruler<S>6485</S> over all the charge<S>5447</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S>. <n>was industrious: Heb. did work charge: Heb. burden</n>


text:
And it came to pass at that time<S>6256</S> when Jeroboam<S>3379</S> went out<S>3318</S> 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 in the way<S>1870</S>; and he had clad<S>3680</S> himself with a new<S>2319</S> garment<S>8008</S>; and they two<S>8147</S> <i>were</i> alone in the field<S>7704</S>:


text:
And Ahijah<S>281</S> caught<S>8610</S> the new<S>2319</S> garment<S>8008</S> that <i>was</i> on him, and tore<S>7167</S> it <i>in </i>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> thee ten<S>6235</S> pieces<S>7168</S>: for thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold, I will rend<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> ten<S>6235</S> tribes<S>7626</S> to thee:


text:
(But he shall have one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> for my servant<S>5650</S> David’s<S>1732</S> sake, and for Jerusalem’s<S>3389</S> sake, the city<S>5892</S> which I have chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>:)


text:
Because they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me, and have worshipped<S>7812</S> Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the goddess<S>430</S> of the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, Chemosh<S>3645</S> the god<S>430</S> of the Moabites<S>4124</S>, and Milcom<S>4445</S> the god<S>430</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and have not walked<S>1980</S> in my ways<S>1870</S>, to do<S>6213</S> <i>that which is </i>right<S>3477</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>, and <i>to keep</i> my statutes<S>2708</S> and my judgments<S>4941</S>, as <i>did </i>David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Yet I will not take<S>3947</S> the whole kingdom<S>4467</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>: but I will make<S>7896</S> him prince<S>5387</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S> for David<S>1732</S> my servant’s<S>5650</S> sake, whom I chose<S>977</S>, because he kept<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S>:

But I will take<S>3947</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> out of his son’s<S>1121</S> hand<S>3027</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> it to thee, <i>even </i>ten<S>6235</S> tribes<S>7626</S>.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken<S>8085</S> to all that I command<S>6680</S> thee, and wilt walk<S>1980</S> in my ways<S>1870</S>, and do<S>6213</S> right<S>3477</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> my statutes<S>2708</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S>, as David<S>1732</S> my servant<S>5650</S> did<S>6213</S>; that I will be with thee, and build<S>1129</S> thee a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>, as I built<S>1129</S> for David<S>1732</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to thee.

And I will for this afflict<S>6031</S> the seed<S>2233</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but not for ever<S>3117</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S> sought<S>1245</S> therefore to kill<S>4191</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.

And the time<S>3117</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> <i>was </i>forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>. <n>time: Heb. days</n>

And Solomon<S>8010</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Rehoboam<S>7346</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead. <n>Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam</n>

And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> went<S>3212</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>: for all Israel<S>3478</S> had come<S>935</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S> to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who was yet in Egypt<S>4714</S>, heard<S>8085</S> <i>of it</i>, (for he had fled<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S>;)


text:
That they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him. And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all the congregation<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>,


text:
Thy father<S>1</S> made<S>7185</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> grievous<S>7185</S>: now therefore make thou the grievous<S>7186</S> service<S>5656</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, and his heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S> which he put<S>5414</S> upon us, lighter<S>7043</S>, and we will serve<S>5647</S> thee.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, Depart<S>3212</S> yet <i>for </i>three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, then come again<S>7725</S> to me. And the people<S>5971</S> departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> consulted<S>3289</S> with the old men<S>2205</S>, that stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his father<S>1</S> while he yet lived<S>2416</S>, and said<S>559</S>, How do ye advise<S>3289</S> that I may<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> this people<S>5971</S>?


text:
And they spoke<S>1696</S> to him, saying<S>559</S>, If thou wilt be a servant<S>5650</S> to this people<S>5971</S> this day<S>3117</S>, and wilt serve<S>5647</S> them, and answer<S>6030</S> them, and speak<S>1696</S> good<S>2896</S> words<S>1697</S> to them, then they will be thy servants<S>5650</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
But he forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the old men<S>2205</S>, which they had given<S>3289</S> him, and consulted<S>3289</S> with the young men<S>3206</S> that had grown up<S>1431</S> with him, <i>and</i> who stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him:


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, What counsel give<S>3289</S> ye that we may<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> this people<S>5971</S>, who have spoken<S>1696</S> to me, saying<S>559</S>, Make<S>7043</S> the yoke<S>5923</S> which thy father<S>1</S> did put<S>5414</S> upon us lighter<S>7043</S>?


text:
And the young men<S>3206</S> that had grown up<S>1431</S> with him spoke<S>1696</S> to him, saying<S>559</S>, Thus shalt thou speak<S>559</S> to this people<S>5971</S> who spoke<S>1696</S> to thee, saying<S>559</S>, Thy father<S>1</S> made<S>3513</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but make thou <i>it </i>lighter<S>7043</S> to us; thus shalt thou say<S>1696</S> to them, My little<S>6995</S> <i>finger</i> shall be thicker<S>5666</S> than my father’s<S>1</S> loins<S>4975</S>.


text:
And now though my father<S>1</S> burdened<S>6006</S> you with a heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S>, I will add<S>3254</S> to your yoke<S>5923</S>: my father<S>1</S> hath chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise<S>3256</S> you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
So Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, as the king<S>4428</S> had appointed<S>1696</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come to me again<S>7725</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> the people<S>5971</S> roughly<S>7186</S>, and forsook<S>5800</S> the old men’s<S>2205</S> counsel<S>6098</S> that they gave<S>3289</S> him; <n>roughly: Heb. hardly</n>


text:
And spoke<S>1696</S> to them after the counsel<S>6098</S> of the young men<S>3206</S>, saying<S>559</S>, My father<S>1</S> made<S>3513</S> your yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, and I will add<S>3254</S> to your yoke<S>5923</S>: my father<S>1</S> <i>also </i>chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise<S>3256</S> you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
Therefore the king<S>4428</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not to the people<S>5971</S>; for the cause<S>5438</S> was from the LORD<S>3068</S>, that he might perform<S>6965</S> his saying<S>1697</S>, which the LORD<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> by<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:
So<S>7725</S> when all Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the king<S>4428</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not to them, the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>1697</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What portion<S>2506</S> have we in David<S>1732</S>? neither <i>have we </i>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 see<S>7200</S> to thy own house<S>1004</S>, David<S>1732</S>. So Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>3212</S> to their tents<S>168</S>.


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


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> sent<S>7971</S> Adoram<S>151</S>, who <i>was</i> over the forced labour<S>4522</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him with stones<S>68</S>, that he died<S>4191</S>. Therefore king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made speed<S>553</S> to enter<S>5927</S> his chariot<S>4818</S>, to flee<S>5127</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. <n>made…: Heb. strengthened himself</n>


text:
So Israel<S>3478</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> to this day<S>3117</S>. <n>rebelled: or, fell away</n>


text:
And it came to pass, when all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> had come again<S>7725</S>, that they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him to the congregation<S>5712</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S>: there was none that followed<S>310</S> the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but<S>2108</S> the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> only.


text:
And when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> had come<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, he assembled<S>6950</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, with the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, an hundred<S>3967</S> and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen men<S>977</S>, who were warriors<S>6213</S> <S>4421</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to bring<S>7725</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> again<S>7725</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 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 the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and to the remnant<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Ye shall not go up<S>5927</S>, nor fight<S>3898</S> against your brethren<S>251</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>; for this thing<S>1697</S> is<S>1961</S> from me. They hearkened<S>8085</S> therefore to the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, 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 mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in it; and went out<S>3318</S> from there, 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 shall the kingdom<S>4467</S> return<S>7725</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>:


text:
If this people<S>5971</S> go up<S>5927</S> to offer<S>6213</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, then shall the heart<S>3820</S> of this people<S>5971</S> turn again<S>7725</S> to their lord<S>113</S>, <i>even</i> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and they shall 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:
Upon which the king<S>4428</S> took counsel<S>3289</S>, and made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> calves<S>5695</S> <i>of </i>gold<S>2091</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them, It is too much<S>7227</S> for you to go up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: behold thy gods<S>430</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>, which brought thee<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.

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

And this thing<S>1697</S> became a sin<S>2403</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> <i>to worship </i>before<S>6440</S> the one<S>259</S>, <i>even</i> to Dan<S>1835</S>.

Now there dwelt<S>3427</S> an<S>259</S> old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>; and his sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5608</S> him all the works<S>4639</S> that 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 he had spoken<S>1696</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, them they told<S>5608</S> also to their father<S>1</S>.

He said<S>559</S> to him, I <i>am</i> a prophet<S>5030</S> also as thou <i>art</i>; 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 him back<S>7725</S> with thee into thy house<S>1004</S>, that he may eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>. <i>But</i> he lied<S>3584</S> to him.

And it came to pass, as they sat<S>3427</S> at the table<S>7979</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came to the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S>:

But hast returned<S>7725</S>, and hast eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in the place<S>4725</S>, of which <i>the LORD </i>said<S>1696</S> to thee, Eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> no water<S>4325</S>; thy body<S>5038</S> shall not come<S>935</S> to the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of thy fathers<S>1</S>.

And it came to pass, after<S>310</S> he had eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and after<S>310</S> he had drunk<S>8354</S>, that he saddled<S>2280</S> for him the donkey<S>2543</S>, <i>that is</i>, for the prophet<S>5030</S> whom he had brought back<S>7725</S>.

And when the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S> from the way<S>1870</S> heard<S>8085</S> <i>of it</i>, he said<S>559</S>, It <i>is</i> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, who was disobedient<S>4784</S> to the word<S>6310</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>: therefore the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> him to the lion<S>738</S>, which hath torn<S>7665</S> him, and slain<S>4191</S> him, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> to him. <n>torn: Heb. broken</n>

And he went<S>3212</S> and found<S>4672</S> his body<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the donkey<S>2543</S> and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the body<S>5038</S>: the lion<S>738</S> had not eaten<S>398</S> the body<S>5038</S>, nor torn<S>7665</S> the donkey<S>2543</S>. <n>torn: Heb. broken</n>

And the prophet<S>5030</S> took up<S>5375</S> the body<S>5038</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>3240</S> it upon the donkey<S>2543</S>, and brought it back<S>7725</S>: and the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, to mourn<S>5594</S> and to bury<S>6912</S> him.

And he laid<S>3240</S> his body<S>5038</S> in his own grave<S>6913</S>; and they mourned<S>5594</S> over him, <i>saying</i>, Alas<S>1945</S>, my brother<S>251</S>!

After<S>310</S> this thing<S>1697</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> returned<S>7725</S> not from his evil<S>7451</S> way<S>1870</S>, but made<S>6213</S> again<S>7725</S> of the lowest<S>7098</S> of the people<S>5971</S> priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>: whoever would<S>2655</S>, he consecrated<S>4390</S> <S>3027</S> him, and he became <i>one</i> of the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>. <n>made…: Heb. returned and made consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand</n>

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

And take<S>3947</S> with thee<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and cakes<S>5350</S>, and a cruse<S>1228</S> of honey<S>1706</S>, and go<S>935</S> to him: he shall tell<S>5046</S> thee what shall become of the child<S>5288</S>. <n>with…: Heb. in thine hand cracknels: or, cakes cruse: or, bottle</n>

text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahijah<S>281</S>, Behold, the wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> cometh<S>935</S> to ask<S>1875</S> a thing<S>1697</S> of thee for her son<S>1121</S>; for he <i>is </i>sick<S>2470</S>: thus<S>2090</S> and thus shalt thou say<S>1696</S> to her: for it shall be, when she cometh in<S>935</S>, that she shall pretend <i>to be </i>another<S>5234</S> <i>woman</i>.

And it was <i>so</i>, when Ahijah<S>281</S> heard<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of her feet<S>7272</S>, as she came in<S>935</S> at the door<S>6607</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Come in<S>935</S>, thou wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; why pretendest thou <i>to be </i>another<S>5234</S>? for I <i>am </i>sent<S>7971</S> to thee <i>with </i>heavy<S>7186</S> <i>tidings</i>. <n>heavy: Heb. hard</n>

Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Forasmuch as<S>3282</S> I exalted<S>7311</S> thee from among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and made<S>5414</S> thee prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>,

For thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, The barrel<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> shall not be used up<S>3615</S>, neither shall the cruse<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2637</S>, until the day<S>3117</S> <i>that</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> sendeth<S>5414</S> rain<S>1653</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>. <n>sendeth: Heb. giveth</n>

And she went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>: and she, and he, and her house<S>1004</S>, ate<S>398</S> <i>many </i>days<S>3117</S>. <n>many…: or, a full year</n>

And she said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, What have I to do with thee, O thou man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>? art thou come<S>935</S> to me to call<S>2142</S> my sin<S>5771</S> to remembrance<S>2142</S>, and to slay<S>4191</S> my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to her, Give<S>5414</S> me thy son<S>1121</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> him out of her bosom<S>2436</S>, and carried him up<S>5927</S> into a loft<S>5944</S>, where he abode<S>3427</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him upon his own bed<S>4296</S>.

And he cried<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 brought evil<S>7489</S> upon the widow<S>490</S> with whom I sojourn<S>1481</S>, by slaying<S>4191</S> her son<S>1121</S>?

And he stretched<S>4058</S> himself upon the child<S>3206</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and cried<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 thee, let this child’s<S>3206</S> soul<S>5315</S> come<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>. <n>stretched: Heb. measured into…: Heb. into his inward parts</n>

And the LORD<S>3068</S> heard<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>; and the soul<S>5315</S> of the child<S>3206</S> came<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>.

And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Now by this<S>2088</S> I know<S>3045</S> that thou <i>art</i> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, <i>and</i> that the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> in thy mouth<S>6310</S> <i>is </i>truth<S>571</S>.

And it came to pass <i>after </i>many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S> in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, show<S>7200</S> thyself to Ahab<S>256</S>; and I will send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> to show<S>7200</S> himself to Ahab<S>256</S>. And <i>there was</i> a grievous<S>2389</S> famine<S>7458</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> called<S>7121</S> Obadiah<S>5662</S>, who <i>was</i> the governor of <i>his </i>house<S>1004</S>. (Now Obadiah<S>5662</S> feared<S>3373</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> greatly<S>3966</S>: <n>Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu the governor…: Heb. over his house</n>


text:
For it was <i>so</i>, when Jezebel<S>348</S> cut off<S>3772</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, that Obadiah<S>5662</S> took<S>3947</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S>, and hid<S>2244</S> them by fifty<S>376</S> <S>2572</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>.) <n>Jezebel: Heb. Izebel</n>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Obadiah<S>5662</S>, Go<S>3212</S> into the land<S>776</S>, to all fountains<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and to all brooks<S>5158</S>: perhaps<S>194</S> we may find<S>4672</S> grass<S>2682</S> to save<S>2421</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and mules<S>6505</S> alive<S>2421</S>, that we lose<S>3772</S> not all the beasts<S>929</S>. <n>that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts</n>


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


text:
And as Obadiah<S>5662</S> was in the way<S>1870</S>, behold, Elijah<S>452</S> met<S>7125</S> him: and he knew<S>5234</S> him, and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <i>Art</i> thou that my lord<S>113</S> Elijah<S>452</S>?

And he answered<S>559</S> him, I <i>am</i>: go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold, Elijah<S>452</S> <i>is here</i>.

And he said<S>559</S>, How have I sinned<S>2398</S>, that thou wouldest deliver<S>5414</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, to slay<S>4191</S> me?


text:
<i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, there is no<S>3426</S> nation<S>1471</S> nor kingdom<S>4467</S>, where<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> hath not sent<S>7971</S> to seek<S>1245</S> thee: and when they said<S>559</S>, <i>He is</i> not <i>there</i>; he took an oath<S>7650</S> of the kingdom<S>4467</S> and nation<S>1471</S>, that they found<S>4672</S> thee not.


text:
And now thou sayest<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold, Elijah<S>452</S> <i>is here</i>.


text:
And it shall come to pass, <i>as soon as</i> I have gone<S>3212</S> from thee, that the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> shall carry<S>5375</S> thee where I know<S>3045</S> not; and <i>so</i> when I come<S>935</S> and tell<S>5046</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and he cannot find<S>4672</S> thee, he shall slay<S>2026</S> me: but I thy servant<S>5650</S> fear<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> from my youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
Was it not told<S>5046</S> my lord<S>113</S> what I did<S>6213</S> when Jezebel<S>348</S> slew<S>2026</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, how I hid<S>2244</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> of the LORD’S<S>3068</S> prophets<S>5030</S> by fifty<S>2572</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>?

And now thou sayest<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold, Elijah<S>452</S> <i>is here</i>: and he shall slay<S>2026</S> me.

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will surely show<S>7200</S> myself to him to day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him: and Ahab<S>256</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when Ahab<S>256</S> saw<S>7200</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to him, <i>Art</i> thou he that troubleth<S>5916</S> Israel<S>3478</S>?

And he answered<S>559</S>, I have not troubled<S>5916</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; but thou, and thy father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>, in that ye have forsaken<S>5800</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and thou hast followed<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> Baalim<S>1168</S>.

Now therefore send<S>7971</S>, <i>and </i>gather<S>6908</S> to me all Israel<S>3478</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of the groves<S>842</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, who eat<S>398</S> at Jezebel’s<S>348</S> table<S>7979</S>.

So Ahab<S>256</S> sent<S>7971</S> to all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> came<S>5066</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, How long<S>5921</S> halt<S>6452</S> ye between two<S>8147</S> opinions<S>5587</S>? if the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>is </i>God<S>430</S>, follow him: but if Baal<S>1168</S>, <i>then </i>follow<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> him.

Then said<S>559</S> Elijah<S>452</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, I, <i>even</i> I only, remain<S>3498</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; but Baal’s<S>1168</S> prophets<S>5030</S> <i>are </i>four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>.

And they took<S>3947</S> the bull<S>6499</S> which was given<S>5414</S> them, and they prepared<S>6213</S> <i>it</i>, and called<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> from morning<S>1242</S> even until noon<S>6672</S>, saying<S>559</S>, O Baal<S>1168</S>, hear<S>6030</S> us.

And 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> about<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, as great as would contain<S>1004</S> two measures<S>5429</S> of seed<S>2233</S>.

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


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

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to them, Take<S>8610</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>; let not one<S>376</S> of them escape<S>4422</S>. And they took<S>8610</S> them: and Elijah<S>452</S> brought them down<S>3381</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>, and slew<S>7819</S> them there. <n>Take: or, Apprehend</n>

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>, eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>; for <i>there is</i> a sound<S>6963</S> of abundance<S>1995</S> of rain<S>1653</S>. <n>a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain</n>


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


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


text:
And it came to pass at the seventh time<S>7637</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Behold, there ariseth<S>5927</S> a little<S>6996</S> cloud<S>5645</S> out of the sea<S>3220</S>, like a man’s<S>376</S> hand<S>3709</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>, say<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, Prepare<S>631</S> <i>thy chariot</i>, and go down<S>3381</S>, that the rain<S>1653</S> may not hinder thee<S>6113</S>. <n>Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind</n>


text:
And it came to pass in the mean while<S>3541</S>, that the heaven<S>8064</S> was black<S>6937</S> with clouds<S>5645</S> and wind<S>7307</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> rain<S>1653</S>. And Ahab<S>256</S> rode<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was on Elijah<S>452</S>; and he girded<S>8151</S> his loins<S>4975</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to the entrance<S>935</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>. <n>to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel</n>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> told<S>5046</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> all that Elijah<S>452</S> had done<S>6213</S>, and how he had slain<S>2026</S> all 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 let the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> <i>to me</i>, and more<S>3254</S> also, if I make<S>7760</S> not thy life<S>5315</S> as the life<S>5315</S> of one<S>259</S> of them by to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And when he saw<S>7200</S> <i>that</i>, he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> for his life<S>5315</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beersheba<S>884</S>, which <i>belongeth</i> to Judah<S>3063</S>, and left<S>3240</S> his servant<S>5288</S> there.


text:
But he himself went<S>1980</S> a day’s<S>3117</S> journey<S>1870</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and came<S>935</S> and sat down<S>3427</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper 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, O LORD<S>3068</S>, take away<S>3947</S> my life<S>5315</S>; for I <i>am</i> not better<S>2896</S> than my fathers<S>1</S>. <n>for himself: Heb. for his life</n>


text:
And as he lay<S>7901</S> and slept<S>3462</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper tree<S>7574</S>, behold, then an angel<S>4397</S> touched<S>5060</S> him, and said<S>559</S> to him, Arise<S>6965</S> <i>and </i>eat<S>398</S>.


text:
And he looked<S>5027</S>, and, behold, <i>there was</i> a cake<S>5692</S> baked on the coals<S>7529</S>, and a cruse<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S> at his head<S>4763</S>. And he ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and laid himself down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>. <n>head: Heb. bolster</n>


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came again<S>7725</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> him, and said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S> <i>and </i>eat<S>398</S>; because the journey<S>1870</S> <i>is</i> too great<S>7227</S> for thee.


text:
And he arose<S>6965</S>, and ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and went<S>3212</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 mount<S>2022</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> there to a cave<S>4631</S>, and lodged<S>3885</S> there; and, behold, the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>came</i> to him, and he said<S>559</S> to him, What doest thou here, Elijah<S>452</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>: for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> thy covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> thy altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>; and I, I only, am left<S>3498</S>; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go forth<S>3318</S>, and stand<S>5975</S> upon the mount<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>. And, behold, the LORD<S>3068</S> passed by<S>5674</S>, and a great<S>1419</S> and strong<S>2389</S> wind<S>7307</S> rent<S>6561</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and broke in pieces<S>7665</S> the rocks<S>5553</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>; <i>but</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>was</i> not in the wind<S>7307</S>: and after<S>310</S> the wind<S>7307</S> an earthquake<S>7494</S>; <i>but</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>was</i> not in the earthquake<S>7494</S>:


text:
And after<S>310</S> the earthquake<S>7494</S> a fire<S>784</S>; <i>but</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>was</i> not in the fire<S>784</S>: and after<S>310</S> the fire<S>784</S> a still<S>1827</S> small<S>1851</S> voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, when Elijah<S>452</S> heard<S>8085</S> <i>it</i>, that he wrapped<S>3874</S> his face<S>6440</S> in his mantle<S>155</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the cave<S>4631</S>. And, behold, <i>there came</i> a voice<S>6963</S> to him, and said<S>559</S>, What doest thou here, Elijah<S>452</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>: because the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> thy covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> thy altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>; and I, I only, am left<S>3498</S>; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Go<S>3212</S>, return<S>7725</S> on thy way<S>1870</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>: and when thou comest<S>935</S>, anoint<S>4886</S> Hazael<S>2371</S> <i>to be </i>king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>:


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> shalt thou anoint<S>4886</S> <i>to be </i>king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>: and Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> of Abelmeholah<S>65</S> shalt thou anoint<S>4886</S> <i>to be </i>prophet<S>5030</S> in thy stead. <n>Elisha: Gr.

text:
And it shall come to pass, <i>that</i> him that escapeth<S>4422</S> the sword<S>2719</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> shall Jehu<S>3058</S> slay<S>4191</S>: and him that escapeth<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> shall Elisha<S>477</S> slay<S>4191</S>.


text:
Yet I have left<S>7604</S> to <i>me </i>seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, all the knees<S>1290</S> which have not bowed<S>3766</S> to Baal<S>1168</S>, and every mouth<S>6310</S> which hath not kissed<S>5401</S> him. <n>I have…: or, I will leave</n>


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> from there, and found<S>4672</S> Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, who <i>was </i>plowing<S>2790</S> <i>with </i>twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> yoke<S>6776</S> <i>of oxen </i>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> by him, and cast<S>7993</S> his mantle<S>155</S> upon 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>, Let me, I pray thee, kiss<S>5401</S> my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, and <i>then</i> I will follow<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> thee. And he said<S>559</S> to him, Go back<S>3212</S> again<S>7725</S>: for what have I done<S>6213</S> to thee? <n>Go…: Heb. Go return</n>


text:
And he returned back<S>7725</S> from him<S>310</S>, and took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and slew<S>2076</S> them, and boiled<S>1310</S> their flesh<S>1320</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, and they ate<S>398</S>. Then he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and ministered<S>8334</S> to him.


text:
And Benhadad<S>1130</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his army<S>2428</S> together<S>6908</S>: and <i>there were </i>thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> with him, and horses<S>5483</S>, and chariots<S>7393</S>: and he went up<S>5927</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and warred<S>3898</S> against it.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S>,


text:
Thy silver<S>3701</S> and thy gold<S>2091</S> <i>is</i> mine; thy wives<S>802</S> also and thy children<S>1121</S>, <i>even</i> the most comely<S>2896</S>, <i>are</i> mine.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, according to thy saying<S>1697</S>, I <i>am</i> thine, and all that I have.


text:
And the messengers<S>4397</S> came again<S>7725</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus speaketh<S>559</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Although I have sent<S>7971</S> to thee, saying<S>559</S>, Thou shalt deliver<S>5414</S> to me thy silver<S>3701</S>, and thy gold<S>2091</S>, and thy wives<S>802</S>, and thy children<S>1121</S>;


text:
Yet I will send<S>7971</S> my servants<S>5650</S> to thee to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>, and they shall search<S>2664</S> thy house<S>1004</S>, and the houses<S>1004</S> of thy servants<S>5650</S>; and it shall be<S>1961</S>, <i>that</i> whatever is pleasant<S>4261</S> in thy eyes<S>5869</S>, they shall take<S>7760</S> <i>it</i> in their hand<S>3027</S>, and carry <i>it </i>away<S>3947</S>. <n>pleasant: Heb. desirable</n>


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> all the elders<S>2205</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Mark<S>3045</S>, I pray you, and see<S>7200</S> how this <i>man </i>seeketh<S>1245</S> mischief<S>7451</S>: for he sent<S>7971</S> to me for my wives<S>802</S>, and for my children<S>1121</S>, and for my silver<S>3701</S>, and for my gold<S>2091</S>; and I denied<S>4513</S> him not. <n>I denied…: Heb.

text:
And all the elders<S>2205</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Hearken<S>8085</S> not <i>to him</i>, nor consent<S>14</S>.


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> of Benhadad<S>1130</S>, Tell<S>559</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, All that thou didst send<S>7971</S> for to thy servant<S>5650</S> at the first<S>7223</S> I will do<S>6213</S>: but this thing<S>1697</S> I may<S>3201</S> not do<S>6213</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>7725</S> him word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Benhadad<S>1130</S> sent<S>7971</S> to him, and said<S>559</S>, The gods<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> to me, and more also<S>3254</S>, if the dust<S>6083</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> shall suffice<S>5606</S> for handfuls<S>8168</S> for all the people<S>5971</S> that follow<S>7272</S> me. <n>follow…: Heb. are at my feet</n>

And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>1696</S> <i>him</i>, Let not him that girdeth<S>2296</S> on <i>his armour </i>boast<S>1984</S> himself as he that putteth it off<S>6605</S>.

And it came to pass, when <i>Benhadad </i>heard<S>8085</S> this message<S>1697</S>, as he <i>was </i>drinking<S>8354</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S> in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, that he said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, Set<S>7760</S> <i>yourselves in array</i>.

And, behold, there came<S>5066</S> a<S>259</S> prophet<S>5030</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Hast thou seen<S>7200</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S>? behold, I will deliver<S>5414</S> it into thy hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>; and thou shalt know<S>3045</S> that I <i>am</i> the LORD<S>3068</S>. <n>came: Heb. approached</n>


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S>, By whom?

Then he numbered<S>6485</S> the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and they were two<S>8147</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S>: and after<S>310</S> them he numbered<S>6485</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, <i>even</i> all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>being </i>seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>.

And the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> went out<S>3318</S> first<S>7223</S>; and Benhadad<S>1130</S> sent out<S>7971</S>, and they told<S>5046</S> him, saying<S>559</S>, There are men<S>582</S> come out<S>3318</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.

And he said<S>559</S>, Whether they have come out<S>3318</S> for peace<S>7965</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>; or whether they have come out<S>3318</S> for war<S>4421</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>.

So these young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and the army<S>2428</S> which followed<S>310</S> them.

And they slew<S>5221</S> every one<S>376</S> his man<S>376</S>: and the Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them: and Benhadad<S>1130</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> on an horse<S>5483</S> with the horsemen<S>6571</S>.


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

And the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Go<S>3212</S>, strengthen<S>2388</S> thyself, and mark<S>3045</S>, and see<S>7200</S> what thou doest<S>6213</S>: for at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> will come up<S>5927</S> against thee.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Their gods<S>430</S> <i>are </i>gods<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>; therefore they were stronger<S>2388</S> than we; but<S>199</S> let us fight<S>3898</S> against them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely<S>3808</S> we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than they.


text:
And do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, Take<S>5493</S> the kings<S>4428</S> away, every man<S>376</S> out of his place<S>4725</S>, and put<S>7760</S> captains<S>6346</S> in their places:

And number<S>4487</S> thee an army<S>2428</S>, like the army<S>2428</S> that thou hast lost<S>5307</S>, horse<S>5483</S> for horse<S>5483</S>, and chariot<S>7393</S> for chariot<S>7393</S>: and we will fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain<S>4334</S>, <i>and</i> surely we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than they. And he hearkened<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>6963</S>, and did so<S>6213</S>. <n>that thou…: Heb. that was fallen</n>

And it came to pass at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that Benhadad<S>1130</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, to fight<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>to fight…: Heb. to the war with Israel</n>


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were numbered<S>6485</S>, and were all present<S>3557</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> them: and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> encamped<S>2583</S> before them like two<S>8147</S> little flocks<S>2835</S> of kids<S>5795</S>; but the Syrians<S>758</S> filled<S>4390</S> the country<S>776</S>. <n>were all…: or, were nourished</n>


text:
And there came<S>5066</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Because the Syrians<S>758</S> have said<S>559</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> <i>is </i>God<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>, but he <i>is</i> not God<S>430</S> of the valleys<S>6010</S>, therefore will I deliver<S>5414</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>, and ye shall know<S>3045</S> that I <i>am</i> the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And they encamped<S>2583</S> opposite<S>5227</S> one<S>428</S> another<S>428</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>. And <i>so</i> it was, that in the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S> the battle<S>4421</S> was joined<S>7126</S>: and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> slew<S>5221</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>.

But the rest<S>3498</S> fled<S>5127</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, into the city<S>5892</S>; and <i>there</i> a wall<S>2346</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon twenty<S>6242</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> of the men<S>376</S> <i>that were </i>left<S>3498</S>.

text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Behold now, we have heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> <i>are </i>merciful<S>2617</S> kings<S>4428</S>: let us, I pray thee, put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on our loins<S>4975</S>, and ropes<S>2256</S> upon our heads<S>7218</S>, and go out<S>3318</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: perhaps he will save<S>2421</S> thy life<S>5315</S>.


text:
So they girded<S>2296</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on their loins<S>4975</S>, and <i>put </i>ropes<S>2256</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>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S> saith<S>559</S>, I pray thee, let me live<S>2421</S> <S>5315</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, <i>Is</i> he yet alive<S>2416</S>? he <i>is</i> my brother<S>251</S>.


text:
Now the men<S>582</S> diligently observed<S>5172</S> whether <i>any thing would come</i> from him, and did hastily<S>4116</S> catch<S>2480</S> <i>it</i>: and they said<S>559</S>, Thy brother<S>251</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S>. Then he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>935</S> ye, bring<S>3947</S> him. Then Benhadad<S>1130</S> came forth<S>3318</S> to him; and he caused him to come up<S>5927</S> into the chariot<S>4818</S>.


text:
And <i>Benhadad </i>said<S>559</S> to him, The cities<S>5892</S>, which my father<S>1</S> took<S>3947</S> from thy father<S>1</S>, I will restore<S>7725</S>; and thou shalt make<S>7760</S> streets<S>2351</S> for thee in Damascus<S>1834</S>, as my father<S>1</S> made<S>7760</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Then <i>said Ahab</i>, I will send thee away<S>7971</S> with this covenant<S>1285</S>. So he made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with him, and sent him away<S>7971</S>. <n>streets: or, market places</n>

And 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 his neighbour<S>7453</S> in the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, Smite<S>5221</S> me, I pray thee. And the man<S>376</S> refused<S>3985</S> to smite<S>5221</S> him.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> he to him, Because thou hast not obeyed<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, behold, as soon as thou hast departed<S>1980</S> from me, a lion<S>738</S> shall slay<S>5221</S> thee. And as soon as he had departed<S>3212</S> from him<S>681</S>, a lion<S>738</S> found<S>4672</S> him, and slew<S>5221</S> him.

Then he found<S>4672</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Smite<S>5221</S> me, I pray thee. And the man<S>376</S> smote<S>5221</S> him, so that in smiting<S>5221</S> he wounded<S>6481</S> <i>him</i>. <n>so that…: Heb. smiting and wounding</n>


text:
So the prophet<S>5030</S> departed<S>3212</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 ashes<S>666</S> upon his face<S>5869</S>.


text:
And as the king<S>4428</S> passed by<S>5674</S>, he cried<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the midst<S>7130</S> of the battle<S>4421</S>; and, behold, a man<S>376</S> turned aside<S>5493</S>, and brought<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> to me, and said<S>559</S>, Keep<S>8104</S> this man<S>376</S>: if by any means<S>6485</S> he shall be missing<S>6485</S>, then shall thy life<S>5315</S> be for his life<S>5315</S>, or else thou shalt pay<S>8254</S> a talent<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>. <n>pay: Heb. weigh</n>

And as thy servant<S>5650</S> was busy<S>6213</S> here and there, he was gone<S>369</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him, So <i>shall</i> thy judgment<S>4941</S> <i>be</i>; thyself hast decided<S>2782</S> <i>it</i>. <n>he was…: Heb. he was not</n>


text:
And he hasted<S>4116</S>, and took the ashes<S>666</S> away<S>5493</S> from his face<S>5869</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> knew<S>5234</S> that he <i>was</i> of the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Because thou hast let go<S>7971</S> out of <i>thy </i>hand<S>3027</S> a man<S>376</S> whom I appointed to utter destruction<S>2764</S>, therefore thy life<S>5315</S> shall go for his life<S>5315</S>, and thy people<S>5971</S> for his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> to his house<S>1004</S> sad<S>5620</S> and displeased<S>2198</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.

And it came to pass after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, <i>that </i>Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had a vineyard<S>3754</S>, which <i>was</i> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, close to<S>681</S> the palace<S>1964</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.

And Ahab<S>256</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Naboth<S>5022</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> me thy vineyard<S>3754</S>, that I may have it for a garden<S>1588</S> of herbs<S>3419</S>, because it <i>is </i>near<S>7138</S> to<S>681</S> my house<S>1004</S>: and I will give<S>5414</S> thee for it a better<S>2896</S> vineyard<S>3754</S> than it; <i>or</i>, if it seemeth good<S>2896</S> to thee<S>5869</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> thee the worth<S>4242</S> of it in money<S>3701</S>. <n>seem…: Heb. be good in thine eyes</n>

And Naboth<S>5022</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> it me, that I should give<S>5414</S> the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers<S>1</S> to thee.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> came<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S> sad<S>5620</S> and displeased<S>2198</S> because of the word<S>1697</S> which Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to him: for he had said<S>559</S>, I will not give<S>5414</S> thee the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>. And he laid himself down<S>7901</S> upon his bed<S>4296</S>, and turned away<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and would eat<S>398</S> no food<S>3899</S>.


text:
But Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to him, and said<S>1696</S> to him, Why is thy spirit<S>7307</S> so sad<S>5620</S>, that thou eatest<S>398</S> no food<S>3899</S>?


text:
And he said<S>1696</S> to her, Because 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 thy vineyard<S>3754</S> for money<S>3701</S>; or else, if it pleaseth<S>2655</S> thee, I will give<S>5414</S> thee <i>another </i>vineyard<S>3754</S> for it: and he answered<S>559</S>, I will not give<S>5414</S> thee my vineyard<S>3754</S>.

And Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Dost thou now govern<S>6213</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? arise<S>6965</S>, <i>and </i>eat<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S>, and let thy heart<S>3820</S> be merry<S>3190</S>: I will give<S>5414</S> thee the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>.

So she wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> in Ahab’s<S>256</S> name<S>8034</S>, and sealed<S>2856</S> <i>them</i> with his seal<S>2368</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the letters<S>5612</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> and to the nobles<S>2715</S> that <i>were</i> in his city<S>5892</S>, dwelling<S>3427</S> with Naboth<S>5022</S>.

And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Hast thou found<S>4672</S> me, O my enemy<S>341</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, I have found<S>4672</S> <i>thee</i>: because thou hast sold<S>4376</S> thyself to work<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold, I will bring<S>935</S> evil<S>7451</S> upon thee, and will take away<S>1197</S> thy posterity<S>310</S>, and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Ahab<S>256</S> the males<S>8366</S> <S>7023</S>, and him that is shut up<S>6113</S> and left<S>5800</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>,

And will make<S>5414</S> thy house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and like the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>, for the provocation<S>3708</S> with which thou hast provoked <i>me</i> to anger<S>3707</S>, and made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.

And of Jezebel<S>348</S> also spoke<S>1696</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> by the wall<S>2426</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>. <n>wall: or, ditch</n>

Him that dieth<S>4191</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in the city<S>5892</S> the dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S>; and him that dieth<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S> shall the fowls<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>.

But there was none like Ahab<S>256</S>, who sold<S>4376</S> himself to work<S>6213</S> wickedness<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, whom Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> stirred up<S>5496</S>. <n>stirred…: or, incited</n>

And he did very<S>3966</S> abominably<S>8581</S> in following<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> idols<S>1544</S>, according to all <i>things</i> as did<S>6213</S> the Amorites<S>567</S>, whom the LORD<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

And it came to pass, when Ahab<S>256</S> heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> upon his flesh<S>1320</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and went<S>1980</S> softly<S>328</S>.

And they continued<S>3427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> without war<S>4421</S> between Syria<S>758</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.

And it came to pass 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 down<S>3381</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, Know<S>3045</S> ye that Ramoth<S>7433</S> in Gilead<S>1568</S> <i>is</i> ours, and we <i>are </i>still<S>2814</S>, <i>and </i>take<S>3947</S> it not out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>? <n>still…: Heb. silent from taking it</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Wilt thou go<S>3212</S> with me to battle<S>4421</S> to Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S>? And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I <i>am</i> as thou<S>3644</S> <i>art</i>, my people<S>5971</S> as thy people<S>5971</S>, my horses<S>5483</S> as thy horses<S>5483</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Enquire<S>1875</S>, I pray thee, at the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> to day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S>, about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them, Shall I go<S>3212</S> against Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>?

text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, <i>Is there</i> not here a prophet<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> besides<S>5750</S>, that we may enquire<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>, <i>There is</i> yet one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>, by whom we may enquire<S>1875</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>: but I hate<S>8130</S> him; for he doth not prophesy<S>5012</S> good<S>2896</S> concerning me, but evil<S>7451</S>. And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Let not the king<S>4428</S> say<S>559</S> so.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> an<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Hasten<S>4116</S> <i>here </i>Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>. <n>officer: or, eunuch</n>

text:
And Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> made<S>6213</S> him horns<S>7161</S> of iron<S>1270</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, With these shalt thou push<S>5055</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, until thou hast consumed<S>3615</S> them.


text:
And all the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> so, saying<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S> to Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S>, and prosper<S>6743</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> <i>it</i> into the king’s<S>4428</S> hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the messenger<S>4397</S> that went<S>1980</S> to call<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to him, saying<S>559</S>, Behold now, the words<S>1697</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> <i>declare </i>good<S>2896</S> to the king<S>4428</S> with one<S>259</S> mouth<S>6310</S>: let thy word<S>1697</S>, I pray thee, be like the word<S>1697</S> of one<S>259</S> of them, and speak<S>1696</S> <i>that which is </i>good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, what the LORD<S>3068</S> saith<S>559</S> to me, that will I speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
So he came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Micaiah<S>4321</S>, shall we go<S>3212</S> against Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall we forbear<S>2308</S>? And he answered<S>559</S> him, Go<S>5927</S>, and prosper<S>6743</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> <i>it</i> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, How many times<S>6471</S> shall I adjure<S>7650</S> thee that thou tell<S>1696</S> me nothing but <i>that which is </i>true<S>571</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> scattered<S>6327</S> upon the hills<S>2022</S>, as sheep<S>6629</S> that have not a shepherd<S>7462</S>: and the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, These have no master<S>113</S>: let them return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And 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> thee that he would prophesy<S>5012</S> no good<S>2896</S> concerning me, but evil<S>7451</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> thou therefore 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 the host<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> by him on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Who shall persuade<S>6601</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, that he may go up<S>5927</S> and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S>? And one said<S>559</S> in this manner<S>3541</S>, and another said<S>559</S> in that manner<S>3541</S>. <n>persuade: or, deceive</n>


text:
And there came forth<S>3318</S> a spirit<S>7307</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will persuade<S>6601</S> him.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, How? And he said<S>559</S>, I will go forth<S>3318</S>, and I will be a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all his prophets<S>5030</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Thou shalt persuade<S>6601</S> <i>him</i>, and prevail<S>3201</S> also: go forth<S>3318</S>, and do<S>6213</S> so.


text:
Now therefore, behold, the LORD<S>3068</S> hath put<S>5414</S> a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all these thy prophets<S>5030</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S> evil<S>7451</S> concerning thee.


text:
But Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> went near<S>5066</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> on the cheek<S>3895</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Which way<S>335</S> went<S>5674</S> the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> from me to speak<S>1696</S> to thee?


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold, thou shalt see<S>7200</S> in that day<S>3117</S>, when thou shalt go<S>935</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> chamber<S>2315</S> to hide<S>2247</S> thyself. <n>into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber</n>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S>, and carry him back<S>7725</S> to Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and to Joash<S>3101</S> the king’s<S>4428</S> son<S>1121</S>;


text:
And say<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Put<S>7760</S> this <i>man</i> in the prison<S>1004</S> <S>3608</S>, and feed<S>398</S> him with bread<S>3899</S> of affliction<S>3906</S> and with water<S>4325</S> of affliction<S>3906</S>, until I come<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, If thou shalt return<S>7725</S> at all<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, the LORD<S>3068</S> hath not spoken<S>1696</S> by me. And he said<S>559</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S>, O people<S>5971</S>, each one of you.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Ramothgilead<S>7433</S> <S>1568</S>.


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 enter<S>935</S> into the battle<S>4421</S>; but put thou on<S>3847</S> thy robes<S>899</S>. And 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>. <n>I will…: or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battle</n>


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> that had rule over his chariots<S>7393</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Fight<S>3898</S> neither with small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, except only with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, 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 this <i>is</i> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And they turned aside<S>5493</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against him: and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S> perceived<S>7200</S> that he <i>was</i> not the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that they turned back<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>310</S> him.


text:
And a <i>certain </i>man<S>376</S> drew<S>4900</S> a bow<S>7198</S> at a venture<S>8537</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> between the joints<S>1694</S> of his armour<S>8302</S>: therefore he said<S>559</S> to the driver of his chariot<S>7395</S>, Turn<S>2015</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>, and carry me out<S>3318</S> of the host<S>4264</S>; for I am wounded<S>2470</S>. <n>at a…: Heb. in his simplicity joints…: Heb. joints and the breastplate wounded: Heb. made sick</n>


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> increased<S>5927</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> was held up<S>5975</S> in his chariot<S>4818</S> against<S>5227</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and died<S>4191</S> at evening<S>6153</S>: and the blood<S>1818</S> ran out<S>3332</S> of the wound<S>4347</S> into the inside<S>2436</S> of the chariot<S>7393</S>. <n>increased: Heb. ascended midst: Heb. bosom</n>


text:
And there went<S>5674</S> a proclamation<S>7440</S> throughout the host<S>4264</S> about the setting<S>935</S> of the sun<S>8121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Every man<S>376</S> to his city<S>5892</S>, and every man<S>376</S> to his own 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>. <n>was brought: Heb. came</n>


text:
And <i>one </i>washed<S>7857</S> the chariot<S>7393</S> in the pool<S>1295</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and the dogs<S>3611</S> licked up<S>3952</S> his blood<S>1818</S>; and they washed<S>7364</S> his armour<S>2185</S>; according to the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the ivory<S>8127</S> house<S>1004</S> which he made<S>1129</S>, and all the cities<S>5892</S> that he built<S>1129</S>, <i>are</i> 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<S>1</S>; and Ahaziah<S>274</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead.

And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asa<S>609</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> in the fourth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> <i>was </i> thirty<S>7970</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother’s<S>517</S> name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Azubah<S>5806</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Shilhi<S>7977</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in all the ways<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S>; he turned not aside<S>5493</S> from it, doing<S>6213</S> <i>that which was </i>right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>: nevertheless the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>; <i>for</i> the people<S>5971</S> offered<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> yet in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, and how he warred<S>3898</S>, <i>are</i> 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>?


text:
And the remnant<S>3499</S> of the sodomites<S>6945</S>, which remained<S>7604</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of his father<S>1</S> Asa<S>609</S>, he removed<S>1197</S> from the land<S>776</S>.


text:
<i>There was</i> then no king<S>4428</S> in Edom<S>123</S>: a deputy<S>5324</S> <i>was </i>king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> made<S>6213</S> <S>6240</S> ships<S>591</S> of Tharshish<S>8659</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Ophir<S>211</S> for gold<S>2091</S>: but they went<S>1980</S> not; for the ships<S>591</S> were broken<S>7665</S> at Eziongeber<S>6100</S>. <n>made…: or, had ten ships</n>


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Let my servants<S>5650</S> go<S>3212</S> with thy servants<S>5650</S> in the ships<S>591</S>. But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> would<S>14</S> not.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Jehoram<S>3088</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead.


text:
Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> 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 reigned<S>4427</S> two years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
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>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of his mother<S>517</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>:


text:
For he served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> him, and provoked to anger<S>3707</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then 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>.


text:
And Ahaziah<S>274</S> fell down<S>5307</S> through a lattice<S>7639</S> in his upper chamber<S>5944</S> that <i>was</i> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and was sick<S>2470</S>: and he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them, Go<S>3212</S>, enquire<S>1875</S> of Baalzebub<S>1176</S> the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S> whether I shall recover<S>2421</S> from this disease<S>2483</S>.


text:
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 up<S>5927</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, and say<S>1696</S> to them, <i>Is it</i> not because <i>there is</i> not a God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>that</i> ye go<S>1980</S> to enquire<S>1875</S> of Baalzebub<S>1176</S> the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>?


text:
Now therefore thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Thou shalt not come down<S>3381</S> from that bed<S>4296</S> on which thou art gone up<S>5927</S>, but shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>. And Elijah<S>452</S> departed<S>3212</S>. <n>Thou shalt…: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it</n>


text:
And when the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S> to him, he said<S>559</S> to them, Why have ye now<S>2088</S> returned<S>7725</S>?


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to him, There came up<S>5927</S> a man<S>376</S> to meet<S>7125</S> us, and said<S>559</S> to us, Go<S>3212</S>, return<S>7725</S> to the king<S>4428</S> that sent<S>7971</S> you, and say<S>1696</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, <i>Is it</i> not because <i>there is</i> not a God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>that</i> thou sendest<S>7971</S> to enquire<S>1875</S> of Baalzebub<S>1176</S> the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>? therefore thou shalt not come down<S>3381</S> from that bed<S>4296</S> on which thou art gone up<S>5927</S>, but shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he said<S>1696</S> to them, What manner<S>4941</S> of man<S>376</S> <i>was he</i> who came up<S>5927</S> to meet<S>7125</S> you, and told<S>1696</S> you these words<S>1697</S>? <n>What…: Heb. What was the manner of the man</n>


text:
And they answered<S>559</S> him, <i>He was</i> an hairy<S>8181</S> man<S>1167</S> <S>376</S>, and girt<S>247</S> with a leather<S>5785</S> belt<S>232</S> about his loins<S>4975</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, It <i>is </i>Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> to him a captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. And he went up<S>5927</S> to him: and, behold, he sat<S>3427</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of an hill<S>2022</S>. And he spoke<S>1696</S> to him, Thou man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, the king<S>4428</S> hath said<S>1696</S>, Come down<S>3381</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> to the captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S>, If I <i>am</i> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, then let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> thee and thy fifty<S>2572</S>. And there came down<S>3381</S> fire<S>784</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
Again<S>7725</S> also he sent<S>7971</S> to him another<S>312</S> captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. And he answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> to him, O man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, thus hath the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Come down<S>3381</S> quickly<S>4120</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> to them, If I <i>am</i> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> thee and thy fifty<S>2572</S>. And the fire<S>784</S> of God<S>430</S> came down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> again<S>7725</S> a captain<S>8269</S> of the third<S>7992</S> fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. And the third<S>7992</S> captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and came<S>935</S> and fell<S>3766</S> on his knees<S>1290</S> before<S>5048</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and besought<S>2603</S> him, and said<S>1696</S> to him, O man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, I pray thee, let my life<S>5315</S>, and the life<S>5315</S> of these fifty<S>2572</S> thy servants<S>5650</S>, be precious<S>3365</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>. <n>fell: Heb. bowed</n>

Behold, there came<S>3381</S> fire<S>784</S> down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and burnt up<S>398</S> the two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of the former<S>7223</S> fifties<S>2572</S> with their fifties<S>2572</S>: therefore let my life<S>5315</S> now be precious<S>3365</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>1696</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Go down<S>3381</S> with him: be not afraid<S>3372</S> of him<S>6440</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> with him to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>1696</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Forasmuch as thou hast sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to enquire<S>1875</S> of Baalzebub<S>1176</S> the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>, <i>is it</i> not because <i>there is</i> no God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> to enquire<S>1875</S> of his word<S>1697</S>? therefore thou shalt not come down<S>3381</S> off that bed<S>4296</S> on which thou art gone up<S>5927</S>, but shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
So he died<S>4191</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> which Elijah<S>452</S> had spoken<S>1696</S>. And Jehoram<S>3088</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; because he had no son<S>1121</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, <i>are</i> 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>?


text:
And it came to pass, when the LORD<S>3068</S> would take up<S>5927</S> Elijah<S>452</S> into heaven<S>8064</S> by a whirlwind<S>5591</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> with Elisha<S>477</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, Tarry<S>3427</S> here, I pray thee; for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> me to Bethel<S>1008</S>. And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and <i>as</i> thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> thee. So they went down<S>3381</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> that <i>were</i> at Bethel<S>1008</S> came forth<S>3318</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Knowest<S>3045</S> thou that the LORD<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> thy master<S>113</S> from thy head<S>7218</S> to day<S>3117</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Yea, I know<S>3045</S> <i>it</i>; hold ye your peace<S>2814</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Elisha<S>477</S>, tarry<S>3427</S> here, I pray thee; for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> me to Jericho<S>3405</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and <i>as</i> thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> thee. So they came<S>935</S> to Jericho<S>3405</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> that <i>were</i> at Jericho<S>3405</S> came<S>5066</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Knowest<S>3045</S> thou that the LORD<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> thy master<S>113</S> from thy head<S>7218</S> to day<S>3117</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Yea, I know<S>3045</S> <i>it</i>; hold ye your peace<S>2814</S>.

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Tarry here<S>3427</S>, I pray thee; for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> me to Jordan<S>3383</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and <i>as</i> thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> thee. And they two<S>8147</S> went on<S>3212</S>.


text:
And 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> to view<S>5048</S> afar off<S>7350</S>: and they two<S>8147</S> stood<S>5975</S> by Jordan<S>3383</S>. <n>to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against</n>


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> his mantle<S>155</S>, and wrapped <i>it </i>together<S>1563</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, and they were divided<S>2673</S> to the one side and to the other, so that they two<S>8147</S> went over<S>5674</S> on dry<S>2724</S> ground.


text:
And it came to pass, when they had gone over<S>5674</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, Ask<S>7592</S> what I shall do<S>6213</S> for thee, before I am taken away<S>3947</S> from thee. And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, I pray thee, let a double<S>8147</S> portion<S>6310</S> of thy spirit<S>7307</S> be upon me.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Thou hast asked<S>7592</S> a hard thing<S>7185</S>: <i>nevertheless</i>, if thou shalt see<S>7200</S> me <i>when I am </i>taken<S>3947</S> from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be <i>so</i>. <n>Thou hast…: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking</n>


text:
And it came to pass, as they still<S>1980</S> went on<S>1980</S>, and talked<S>1696</S>, that, behold, <i>there appeared</i> a chariot<S>7393</S> of fire<S>784</S>, and horses<S>5483</S> of fire<S>784</S>, and separated<S>6504</S> them<S>8147</S> <S>996</S>; and Elijah<S>452</S> went up<S>5927</S> by a whirlwind<S>5591</S> into heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> saw<S>7200</S> <i>it</i>, and he cried<S>6817</S>, My father<S>1</S>, my father<S>1</S>, the chariot<S>7393</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and its horsemen<S>6571</S>. And he saw<S>7200</S> him no more: and he took hold<S>2388</S> of his own clothes<S>899</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> them in two<S>8147</S> pieces<S>7168</S>.


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


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 smote<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Where <i>is</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>? and when he also had smitten<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, they parted<S>2673</S> to the one side and to the other: and Elisha<S>477</S> went over<S>5674</S>.


text:
And when the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who <i>were</i> looking on at Jericho<S>3405</S> saw<S>7200</S> him, they said<S>559</S>, The spirit<S>7307</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> doth rest<S>5117</S> on Elisha<S>477</S>.

text:
And they said<S>559</S> to him, Behold now, there are<S>3426</S> with thy servants<S>5650</S> fifty<S>2572</S> strong<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S> <S>582</S>; let them go<S>3212</S>, we pray thee, and seek<S>1245</S> thy master<S>113</S>: lest perhaps the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> hath taken him up<S>5375</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him upon some<S>259</S> mountain<S>2022</S>, or into some<S>259</S> valley<S>1516</S>.

And when they urged<S>6484</S> him till 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 sought<S>1245</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, but found<S>4672</S> him not.


text:
And when they came again<S>7725</S> to him, (for he tarried<S>3427</S> at Jericho<S>3405</S>,) he said<S>559</S> to them, Did I not say<S>559</S> to you, Go<S>3212</S> not?


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, Behold, I pray thee, the situation<S>4186</S> of this city<S>5892</S> <i>is </i>pleasant<S>2896</S>, as my lord<S>113</S> seeth<S>7200</S>: but the water<S>4325</S> <i>is </i>bad<S>7451</S>, and the ground<S>776</S> barren<S>7921</S>. <n>barren: Heb. causing to miscarry</n>


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


text:
And he went forth<S>3318</S> to the spring<S>4161</S> of the waters<S>4325</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> the salt<S>4417</S> in there, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, I have healed<S>7495</S> these waters<S>4325</S>; there shall not be from there any more death<S>4194</S> or barren<S>7921</S> <i>land</i>.


text:
So the waters<S>4325</S> were healed<S>7495</S> to this day<S>3117</S>, according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he went up<S>5927</S> from there to Bethel<S>1008</S>: and as he was going up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, there came forth<S>3318</S> youths<S>6996</S> <S>5288</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, and mocked<S>7046</S> him, and said<S>559</S> to him, Go up<S>5927</S>, thou bald head<S>7142</S>; go up<S>5927</S>, thou bald head<S>7142</S>.


text:
And he turned<S>6437</S> back<S>310</S>, and looked<S>7200</S> on them, and cursed<S>7043</S> them in the name<S>8034</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>. And there came forth<S>3318</S> two<S>8147</S> she bears<S>1677</S> out of the wood<S>3293</S>, and tore<S>1234</S> forty<S>705</S> and two<S>8147</S> youths<S>3206</S> of them.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> from there to mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and from there he returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Now Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> <i>in</i> 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 wrought<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; but not like his father<S>1</S>, and like his mother<S>517</S>: for he put away<S>5493</S> the image<S>4676</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> that his father<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>. <n>image: Heb. statue</n>


text:
Nevertheless he cleaved<S>1692</S> to the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>; he departed<S>5493</S> not from it.


text:
And Mesha<S>4338</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> was a sheepmaster<S>5349</S>, and rendered<S>7725</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> lambs<S>3733</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> rams<S>352</S>, with the wool<S>6785</S>.


text:
But it came to pass, when Ahab<S>256</S> was dead<S>4194</S>, that 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 out<S>3318</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> the same time<S>3117</S>, and numbered<S>6485</S> all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> and sent<S>7971</S> 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> hath rebelled<S>6586</S> against me: wilt thou go<S>3212</S> with me against Moab<S>4124</S> to battle<S>4421</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I will go<S>5927</S>: I <i>am</i> as thou <i>art</i>, my people<S>5971</S> as thy people<S>5971</S>, <i>and</i> my horses<S>5483</S> as thy horses<S>5483</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Which way<S>1870</S> shall we go up<S>5927</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, The way<S>1870</S> through the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>: and they made a circuit<S>5437</S> of seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>’ journey<S>1870</S>: and there was no water<S>4325</S> for the army<S>4264</S>, and for the cattle<S>929</S> that followed<S>7272</S> them. <n>that…: Heb. at their feet</n>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>! that the LORD<S>3068</S> hath called<S>7121</S> these three<S>7969</S> kings<S>4428</S> together<S>7121</S>, to deliver<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>, <i>Is there</i> not here a prophet<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, that we may enquire<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<S>3478</S> servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Here <i>is </i>Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, who poured<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<S>3426</S> 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>123</S> went down<S>3381</S> to him.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, What have I to do with thee? go<S>3212</S> to the prophets<S>5030</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, and to the prophets<S>5030</S> of thy mother<S>517</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Nay: for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath called<S>7121</S> these three<S>7969</S> kings<S>4428</S> together<S>7121</S>, to deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, surely, were it not that<S>3884</S> 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> toward thee, nor see<S>7200</S> thee.


text:
But now bring<S>3947</S> me a minstrel<S>5059</S>. And it came to pass, when the minstrel<S>5059</S> played<S>5059</S>, that the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came upon him.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Make<S>6213</S> this valley<S>5158</S> full of ditches<S>1356</S>.


text:
For thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Ye shall not see<S>7200</S> wind<S>7307</S>, neither shall ye 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>, that ye may drink<S>8354</S>, both ye, and your cattle<S>4735</S>, and your beasts<S>929</S>.


text:
And this is <i>but</i> a light thing<S>7043</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>: he will deliver<S>5414</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> also into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And ye shall smite<S>5221</S> every fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>, and every choice<S>4004</S> city<S>5892</S>, and shall fell<S>5307</S> every good<S>2896</S> tree<S>6086</S>, and stop<S>5640</S> all wells<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and mar<S>3510</S> every good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land with stones<S>68</S>. <n>mar: Heb. grieve</n>


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, when the meat offering<S>4503</S> was offered<S>5927</S>, that, behold, there came<S>935</S> water<S>4325</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, and the country<S>776</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And when all the Moabites<S>4124</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> were come up<S>5927</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against them, they gathered<S>6817</S> all that were able to put<S>2296</S> on armour<S>2290</S>, and upward<S>4605</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the border<S>1366</S>. <n>gathered: Heb. were cried together put on…: Heb. gird himself with a girdle</n>


text:
And they rose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and the sun<S>8121</S> shone<S>2224</S> upon the water<S>4325</S>, and the Moabites<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> the water<S>4325</S> on the other side<S>5048</S> <i>as </i>red<S>122</S> as blood<S>1818</S>:


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, This <i>is </i>blood<S>1818</S>: the kings<S>4428</S> are surely<S>2717</S> slain<S>2717</S>, and they have smitten<S>5221</S> one<S>376</S> another<S>7453</S>: now therefore, Moab<S>4124</S>, to the spoil<S>7998</S>. <n>slain: Heb. destroyed</n>


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, the Israelites<S>3478</S> rose<S>6965</S> and smote<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>, so that they fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> them: but they went forward<S>5221</S> smiting<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>, even in <i>their</i> country. <n>they went…: or, they smote in it even smiting</n>


text:
And they beat down<S>2040</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and on every good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land cast<S>7993</S> every man<S>376</S> his stone<S>68</S>, and filled<S>4390</S> it; and they stopped<S>5640</S> all the wells<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and felled<S>5307</S> all the good<S>2896</S> trees<S>6086</S>: only in Kirharaseth<S>7025</S> they left<S>7604</S> the stones<S>68</S> of it; but the slingers<S>7051</S> went about<S>5437</S> <i>it</i>, and smote<S>5221</S> it. <n>only in…: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth</n>


text:
And when the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the battle<S>4421</S> was too fierce<S>2388</S> for him, he took<S>3947</S> with him seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> swords<S>2719</S>, to break through<S>1234</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>: but they could<S>3201</S> not.


text:
Then he took<S>3947</S> his eldest<S>1060</S> son<S>1121</S> that was to reign<S>4427</S> in his stead, and offered<S>5927</S> him <i>for</i> a burnt offering<S>5930</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>. And there was great<S>1419</S> indignation<S>7110</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and they departed<S>5265</S> from him, and returned<S>7725</S> to <i>their own </i>land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now there cried<S>6817</S> 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> to Elisha<S>477</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>; and thou knowest<S>3045</S> that thy servant<S>5650</S> feared<S>3373</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>: and the creditor<S>5383</S> hath come<S>935</S> to take<S>3947</S> to my two<S>8147</S> sons<S>3206</S> to be his slaves<S>5650</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to her, What shall I do<S>6213</S> for thee? tell<S>5046</S> me, what hast<S>3426</S> thou in the house<S>1004</S>? And she said<S>559</S>, Thy handmaid<S>8198</S> hath not any thing in the house<S>1004</S>, except a pot<S>610</S> of oil<S>8081</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, borrow<S>7592</S> thee vessels<S>3627</S> abroad<S>2351</S> of all thy neighbours<S>7934</S>, <i>even </i>empty<S>7386</S> vessels<S>3627</S>; borrow not a few<S>4591</S>. <n>borrow not…: or, scant not</n>


text:
And when thou hast come in<S>935</S>, thou shalt shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> upon thee and upon thy sons<S>1121</S>, and shalt pour out<S>3332</S> into all those vessels<S>3627</S>, and thou shalt set aside<S>5265</S> that which is full<S>4392</S>.


text:
So she went<S>3212</S> from him, and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> upon her and upon<S>1157</S> her sons<S>1121</S>, who<S>1992</S> brought<S>5066</S> <i>the vessels</i> to her; and she poured out<S>3332</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, 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 yet a vessel<S>3627</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to her, <i>There is</i> not a vessel<S>3627</S> more. And the oil<S>8081</S> stopped<S>5975</S> <i>flowing</i>.


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>3212</S>, sell<S>4376</S> the oil<S>8081</S>, and pay<S>7999</S> thy debt<S>5386</S>, and live<S>2421</S> thou and thy children<S>1121</S> on the rest<S>3498</S>. <n>debt: or, creditor</n>


text:
And it fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> passed<S>5674</S> to Shunem<S>7766</S>, where <i>was</i> a great<S>1419</S> woman<S>802</S>; and she constrained<S>2388</S> him to eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>. And <i>so</i> it was, <i>that</i> as oft<S>1767</S> as he passed by<S>5674</S>, he turned<S>5493</S> in there to eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>. <n>it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him</n>


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to her husband<S>376</S>, Behold now, I perceive<S>3045</S> that this <i>is</i> an holy<S>6918</S> man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, who passeth<S>5674</S> by us continually<S>8548</S>.


text:
Let us make<S>6213</S> a little<S>6996</S> chamber<S>5944</S>, I pray thee, with walls<S>7023</S>; and let us set<S>7760</S> for him there a bed<S>4296</S>, and a table<S>7979</S>, and a stool<S>3678</S>, and a lampstand<S>4501</S>: and it shall be, when he cometh<S>935</S> to us, that he shall turn<S>5493</S> in there.


text:
And it fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that he came<S>935</S> there, and he turned<S>5493</S> into the chamber<S>5944</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> there.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant<S>5288</S>, Call<S>7121</S> this 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 to her, Behold, thou hast been careful<S>2729</S> for us with all this care<S>2731</S>; what <i>is</i> to be done<S>6213</S> for thee? wouldest<S>3426</S> thou be spoken<S>1696</S> for to the king<S>4428</S>, or to the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S>? And she answered<S>559</S>, I dwell<S>3427</S> among<S>8432</S> my own people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What then <i>is</i> to be done<S>6213</S> for her? And Gehazi<S>1522</S> answered<S>559</S>, Verily<S>61</S> she hath no child<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. And when he had called<S>7121</S> her, she stood<S>5975</S> in the door<S>6607</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, About this season<S>4150</S>, next year<S>6256</S> <S>2416</S>, thou shalt embrace<S>2263</S> a son<S>1121</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, Nay, my lord<S>113</S>, <i>thou </i>man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, do not lie<S>3576</S> to thy handmaid<S>8198</S>. <n>season: Heb. set time</n>

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> that Elisha<S>477</S> had said<S>1696</S> to her, according to the set time<S>6256</S> <S>2416</S>.


text:
And when the child<S>3206</S> was grown<S>1431</S>, it happened on a day<S>3117</S>, that he went out<S>3318</S> to his father<S>1</S> to the reapers<S>7114</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to his father<S>1</S>, My head<S>7218</S>, my head<S>7218</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to a lad<S>5288</S>, Carry<S>5375</S> him to his mother<S>517</S>.


text:
And 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 knees<S>1290</S> till noon<S>6672</S>, and <i>then </i>died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And she went up<S>5927</S>, 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> <i>the door</i> upon him, and went out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And she called<S>7121</S> to her husband<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send<S>7971</S> me, I pray thee, one<S>259</S> of the young men<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 come again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Why wilt thou go<S>1980</S> to him to day<S>3117</S>? <i>it is</i> neither new moon<S>2320</S>, nor sabbath<S>7676</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, <i>It shall be </i>well<S>7965</S>. <n>well: Heb. peace</n>


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 forward<S>3212</S>; slack<S>6113</S> not <i>thy </i>riding<S>7392</S> for me, except I bid<S>559</S> thee. <n>slack…: Heb. restrain not for me to ride</n>


text:
So she went<S>3212</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 to pass, when the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> saw her afar off<S>7200</S>, that he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant<S>5288</S>, Behold, <i>yonder is </i>that<S>1975</S> Shunammite<S>7767</S>:


text:
Run<S>7323</S> now, I pray thee, to meet<S>7125</S> her, and say<S>559</S> to her, <i>Is it </i>well<S>7965</S> with thee? <i>is it </i>well<S>7965</S> with thy husband<S>376</S>? <i>is it </i>well<S>7965</S> with the child<S>3206</S>? And she answered<S>559</S>, <i>It is </i>well<S>7965</S>.


text:
And 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> him by the feet<S>7272</S>: but Gehazi<S>1522</S> came near<S>5066</S> to thrust her away<S>1920</S>. And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, Let her alone<S>7503</S>; for her soul<S>5315</S> <i>is </i>sorrowful<S>4843</S> within her: and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath hid<S>5956</S> <i>it</i> from me, and hath not told<S>5046</S> me. <n>him…: Heb. by his feet vexed: Heb. bitter</n>


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, Did I ask<S>7592</S> a son<S>1121</S> from my lord<S>113</S>? did I not say<S>559</S>, Do not deceive<S>7952</S> me?


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S>, Gird up<S>2296</S> thy loins<S>4975</S>, and take<S>3947</S> my staff<S>4938</S> in thy hand<S>3027</S>, and go thy way<S>3212</S>: and if thou shalt meet<S>4672</S> any man<S>376</S>, greet<S>1288</S> him not; and if any<S>376</S> shall greet<S>1288</S> thee, answer him not again<S>6030</S>: and lay<S>7760</S> my staff<S>4938</S> upon the face<S>6440</S> of the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
And the mother<S>517</S> of the child<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and <i>as</i> thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> thee. And he arose<S>6965</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> her.


text:
And Gehazi<S>1522</S> passed on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> them, and laid<S>7760</S> the staff<S>4938</S> upon the face<S>6440</S> of the child<S>5288</S>; but <i>there was</i> neither voice<S>6963</S>, nor hearing<S>7182</S>. Therefore he went again<S>7725</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him, and told<S>5046</S> him, saying<S>559</S>, The child<S>5288</S> is not awakened<S>6974</S>. <n>hearing: Heb. attention</n>


text:
And when Elisha<S>477</S> had come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, behold, the child<S>5288</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, <i>and </i>laid<S>7901</S> upon his bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
He went in<S>935</S> therefore, and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> upon them both<S>8147</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>.


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


text:
Then he returned<S>7725</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the house<S>1004</S> to<S>259</S> <S>2008</S> and fro<S>259</S> <S>2008</S>; and went up<S>5927</S>, and stretched<S>1457</S> himself upon him: and the child<S>5288</S> sneezed<S>2237</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>, and the child<S>5288</S> opened<S>6491</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>. <n>to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither</n>


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


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


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> came again<S>7725</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>: and <i>there was</i> a famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>; and the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> <i>were </i>sitting<S>3427</S> before<S>6440</S> him: and he said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Set<S>8239</S> on the great<S>1419</S> pot<S>5518</S>, and boil<S>1310</S> pottage<S>5138</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> went out<S>3318</S> 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 wild<S>7704</S> gourds<S>6498</S> his lap<S>899</S> full<S>4393</S>, and came<S>935</S> and shred<S>6398</S> <i>them</i> into the pot<S>5518</S> of pottage<S>5138</S>: for they knew<S>3045</S> <i>them</i> not.


text:
So they poured out<S>3332</S> for the men<S>582</S> to eat<S>398</S>. And it came to pass, as they were eating<S>398</S> of the pottage<S>5138</S>, that they cried out<S>6817</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O <i>thou </i>man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, <i>there is </i>death<S>4194</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>. And they could<S>3201</S> not eat<S>398</S> <i>of it</i>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, Then bring<S>3947</S> meal<S>7058</S>. And he cast<S>7993</S> <i>it</i> into the pot<S>5518</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Pour out<S>3332</S> for the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>. And there was no harm<S>1697</S> <S>7451</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>. <n>harm: Heb. evil thing</n>


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> from Baalshalisha<S>1190</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> bread<S>3899</S> of the firstfruits<S>1061</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> loaves<S>3899</S> of barley<S>8184</S>, and full ears of grain<S>3759</S> in its husk<S>6861</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>. <n>the husk…: or, his scrip, or, garment</n>


text:
And his servant<S>8334</S> said<S>559</S>, What, should I set<S>5414</S> this before<S>6440</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>? He said again<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>: for thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, They shall eat<S>398</S>, and shall have <i>some </i>left<S>3498</S>.


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


text:
Now Naaman<S>5283</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, was a great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S> with<S>6440</S> his master<S>113</S>, and honourable<S>5375</S>, because by him the LORD<S>3068</S> had given<S>5414</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> to Syria<S>758</S>: he was also a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> in valour<S>2428</S>, <i>but he was</i> a leper<S>6879</S>. <n>with: Heb. before honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance deliverance: or, victory</n>


text:
And the Syrians<S>758</S> had gone out<S>3318</S> by companies<S>1416</S>, and had brought away captive<S>7617</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a little<S>6996</S> maid<S>5291</S>; and she waited on<S>6440</S> Naaman’s<S>5283</S> wife<S>802</S>. <n>waited…: Heb. was before</n>


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to her mistress<S>1404</S>, I would<S>305</S> that my lord<S>113</S> <i>were </i>with<S>6440</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> that <i>is</i> in Samaria<S>8111</S>! for<S>227</S> he would cure<S>622</S> him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>. <n>with: Heb. before recover: Heb. gather in</n>


text:
And <i>one</i> went in<S>935</S>, and told<S>5046</S> his lord<S>113</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus and thus said<S>1696</S> the maid<S>5291</S> that <i>is</i> of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, now<S>935</S>, and I will send<S>7971</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And he departed<S>3212</S>, and took<S>3947</S> with him<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> <i>pieces</i> of gold<S>2091</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> changes<S>2487</S> of raiment<S>899</S>. <n>with…: Heb. in his hand</n>


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> the letter<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Now when this letter<S>5612</S> hath come<S>935</S> to thee, behold, <i>with it</i> I have sent<S>7971</S> Naaman<S>5283</S> my servant<S>5650</S> to thee, that thou mayest cure<S>622</S> him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had read<S>7121</S> the letter<S>5612</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <i>Am</i> I God<S>430</S>, to kill<S>4191</S> and to make alive<S>2421</S>, that this man<S>2088</S> doth send<S>7971</S> to me to cure<S>622</S> a man<S>376</S> of his leprosy<S>6883</S>? therefore<S>389</S> consider<S>3045</S>, I pray you, and see<S>7200</S> how he seeketh a quarrel<S>579</S> against me.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, when Elisha<S>477</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had 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> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why hast thou torn<S>7167</S> thy clothes<S>899</S>? let him come<S>935</S> now to me, and he shall know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> 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 with his chariot<S>7393</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> at the door<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 Jordan<S>3383</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>, and thy flesh<S>1320</S> shall come again<S>7725</S> to thee, and thou shalt be clean<S>2891</S>.


text:
But Naaman<S>5283</S> was furious<S>7107</S>, and went away<S>3212</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold, I thought<S>559</S>, He will surely<S>3318</S> come out<S>3318</S> 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 strike<S>5130</S> his hand<S>3027</S> over the place<S>4725</S>, and cure<S>622</S> the leprosy<S>6879</S>. <n>I thought: Heb. I said I thought…: or, I said with myself, He will surely come out, etc: Heb. I said strike: Heb. move up and down</n>

<i>Are</i> not Abana<S>71</S> <S>549</S> and Pharpar<S>6554</S>, rivers<S>5104</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, better<S>2896</S> than all the waters<S>4325</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? may I not wash<S>7364</S> in them, and be clean<S>2891</S>? So he turned<S>6437</S> and went away<S>3212</S> in a rage<S>2534</S>. <n>Abana: or, Amana</n>


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> to him, and said<S>559</S>, My father<S>1</S>, <i>if</i> the prophet<S>5030</S> had bid<S>1696</S> thee <i>do some </i>great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, wouldest thou not have done<S>6213</S> <i>it</i>? how much rather then<S>637</S>, when he saith<S>559</S> to thee, Wash<S>7364</S>, and be clean<S>2891</S>?


text:
Then he went down<S>3381</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> himself seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S> in Jordan<S>3383</S>, according to the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: and his flesh<S>1320</S> came again<S>7725</S> like the flesh<S>1320</S> of a little<S>6996</S> child<S>5288</S>, and he was clean<S>2891</S>.


text:
And he returned<S>7725</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, he and all his company<S>4264</S>, and came<S>935</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him: and he said<S>559</S>, Behold, now I know<S>3045</S> that <i>there is</i> no God<S>430</S> in all the earth<S>776</S>, but in Israel<S>3478</S>: now therefore, I pray thee, take<S>3947</S> a blessing<S>1293</S> from thy servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, <i>As</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will receive<S>3947</S> none. And he urged<S>6484</S> him to take<S>3947</S> <i>it</i>; but he refused<S>3985</S>.


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given<S>5414</S> to thy servant<S>5650</S> two<S>6776</S> mules<S>6505</S>’ burden<S>4853</S> of earth<S>127</S>? for thy servant<S>5650</S> will henceforth offer<S>6213</S> neither burnt offering<S>5930</S> nor sacrifice<S>2077</S> to other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, but to the LORD<S>3068</S>.

In this thing<S>1697</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> thy servant<S>5650</S>, <i>that</i> when my master<S>113</S> goeth<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> to worship<S>7812</S> there, and he leaneth<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 down<S>7812</S> myself in the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>, the LORD<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> in this thing<S>1697</S>.

And he said<S>559</S> to him, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>. So he departed<S>3212</S> from him a little<S>3530</S> way<S>776</S>. <n>a little…: Heb. a little piece of ground</n>

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>, said<S>559</S>, Behold, my master<S>113</S> hath spared<S>2820</S> Naaman<S>5283</S> this Syrian<S>761</S>, in not receiving<S>3947</S> at his hands<S>3027</S> that which he brought<S>935</S>: but, <i>as</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will run<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him, and take<S>3947</S> somewhat<S>3972</S> from him.


text:
So Gehazi<S>1522</S> followed<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Naaman<S>5283</S>. And when Naaman<S>5283</S> saw<S>7200</S> <i>him </i>running<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him, he came down<S>5307</S> from the chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him, and said<S>559</S>, <i>Is</i> all well<S>7965</S>? <n>Is…: Heb. Is there peace?</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, All <i>is </i>well<S>7965</S>. My master<S>113</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> me, saying<S>559</S>, Behold, even now there have come<S>935</S> to me from mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S> two<S>8147</S> young men<S>5288</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>: give<S>5414</S> them, I pray thee, a talent<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and two<S>8147</S> changes<S>2487</S> of garments<S>899</S>.


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, Be content<S>2974</S>, take<S>3947</S> two talents<S>3603</S>. And he urged<S>6555</S> him, and bound<S>6696</S> two<S>8147</S> 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 garments<S>899</S>, and laid<S>5414</S> <i>them</i> upon two<S>8147</S> of his servants<S>5288</S>; and they bore<S>5375</S> <i>them </i>before<S>6440</S> him.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S> to the tower<S>6076</S>, he took<S>3947</S> <i>them</i> from their hand<S>3027</S>, and bestowed<S>6485</S> <i>them</i> in the house<S>1004</S>: and he let the men<S>582</S> go<S>7971</S>, and they departed<S>3212</S>. <n>tower: or, secret place</n>


text:
But he went in<S>935</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before his master<S>113</S>. And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him, From where<S>370</S> <i>comest thou</i>, Gehazi<S>1522</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> went<S>1980</S> nowhere<S>575</S>. <n>no whither: Heb. not hither or thither</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, Went<S>1980</S> not my heart<S>3820</S> <i>with thee</i>, when the man<S>376</S> turned<S>2015</S> again from his chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> thee? <i>Is it</i> a time<S>6256</S> to receive<S>3947</S> money<S>3701</S>, and to receive<S>3947</S> garments<S>899</S>, and oliveyards<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 servants<S>8198</S>?


text:
The leprosy<S>6883</S> therefore of Naaman<S>5283</S> shall cleave<S>1692</S> to thee, and to thy seed<S>2233</S> for ever<S>5769</S>. And he went out<S>3318</S> from his presence<S>6440</S> a leper<S>6879</S> <i>as white</i> as snow<S>7950</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> to<S>6440</S> Elisha<S>477</S>, Behold now, the place<S>4725</S> where we dwell<S>3427</S> with thee is too small<S>6862</S> for us.


text:
Let us go<S>3212</S>, we pray thee, to Jordan<S>3383</S>, and take<S>3947</S> from there every man<S>376</S> a<S>259</S> beam<S>6982</S>, and let us make<S>6213</S> us a place<S>4725</S> there, where we may dwell<S>3427</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> ye.


text:
And one<S>259</S> said<S>559</S>, Be content<S>2974</S>, I pray thee, and go<S>3212</S> with thy servants<S>5650</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, I will go<S>3212</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> with them. And when they came<S>935</S> to Jordan<S>3383</S>, they cut down<S>1504</S> wood<S>6086</S>.


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


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, Where<S>575</S> fell<S>5307</S> it? And he showed<S>7200</S> him the place<S>4725</S>. And he cut down<S>7094</S> a stick<S>6086</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> <i>it</i> in there; and made the axe head<S>1270</S> float<S>6687</S>.


text:
Therefore said<S>559</S> he, Take <i>it </i>up<S>7311</S> to thee. And he put out<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>3947</S> it.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> warred<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and took counsel<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> <i>shall be</i> my camp<S>8466</S>. <n>camp: or, encamping</n>


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Beware<S>8104</S> that thou pass<S>5674</S> not such<S>2088</S> a place<S>4725</S>; for there the Syrians<S>758</S> have come down<S>5185</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the place<S>4725</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> told<S>559</S> him and warned<S>2094</S> him of, and saved<S>8104</S> himself there, not once<S>259</S> nor twice<S>8147</S>.


text:
Therefore the heart<S>3820</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was greatly troubled<S>5590</S> for this thing<S>1697</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them, Will ye not show<S>5046</S> me which of us <i>is</i> 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>, None, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>: but Elisha<S>477</S>, the prophet<S>5030</S> that <i>is</i> in Israel<S>3478</S>, telleth<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> the words<S>1697</S> that thou speakest<S>1696</S> in thy bedchamber<S>2315</S> <S>4904</S>. <n>None: Heb. No</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and spy<S>7200</S> where<S>351</S> he <i>is</i>, that I may send<S>7971</S> and bring<S>3947</S> him. And it was told<S>5046</S> him, saying<S>559</S>, Behold, <i>he is</i> in Dothan<S>1886</S>.


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


text:
And when the servant<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 forth<S>3318</S>, behold, an host<S>2428</S> surrounded<S>5437</S> the city<S>5892</S> both with horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S>. And his servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Alas<S>162</S>, my master<S>113</S>! how shall we do<S>6213</S>? <n>the servant: or, the minister</n>


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not: for they that <i>are</i> with us <i>are </i>more<S>7227</S> than they that <i>are</i> with them.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>, LORD<S>3068</S>, I pray thee, 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 eyes<S>5869</S> of the young man<S>5288</S>; and he saw<S>7200</S>: and, behold, the mountain<S>2022</S> <i>was </i>full<S>4390</S> of horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> of fire<S>784</S> around<S>5439</S> Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
And when they came 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>, Smite<S>5221</S> this people<S>1471</S>, I pray thee, with blindness<S>5575</S>. And he smote<S>5221</S> them with blindness<S>5575</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to them, This <i>is</i> not the way<S>1870</S>, neither <i>is </i>this<S>2090</S> the city<S>5892</S>: follow<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> me, and I will bring<S>3212</S> you to the man<S>376</S> whom ye seek<S>1245</S>. But he led<S>3212</S> them to Samaria<S>8111</S>. <n>follow…: Heb. come ye after me</n>


text:
And it came to pass, when they had come<S>935</S> into Samaria<S>8111</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, LORD<S>3068</S>, open<S>6491</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of these <i>men</i>, that they may see<S>7200</S>. And the LORD<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and they saw<S>7200</S>; and, behold, <i>they were</i> in the midst<S>8432</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


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


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, Thou shalt not smite<S>5221</S> <i>them</i>: wouldest thou smite<S>5221</S> those whom thou hast taken captive<S>7617</S> with thy sword<S>2719</S> and with thy 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>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>.


text:
And he prepared<S>3739</S> great<S>1419</S> provision<S>3740</S> for them: and when they had eaten<S>398</S> and drunk<S>8354</S>, he sent them away<S>7971</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>. So the bands<S>1416</S> of Syria<S>758</S> came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that Benhadad<S>1130</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his army<S>4264</S>, and went up<S>5927</S>, and besieged<S>6696</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, they besieged<S>6696</S> it, until a donkey’s<S>2543</S> head<S>7218</S> was <i>sold</i> for eighty<S>8084</S> <i>pieces</i> of silver<S>3701</S>, and the fourth part<S>7255</S> of a cab<S>6894</S> of dove’s dung<S>1686</S> <S>3123</S> <S>2755</S> for five<S>2568</S> <i>pieces</i> of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
And as the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> was passing by<S>5674</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>, there cried<S>6817</S> a woman<S>802</S> 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> doth not help<S>3467</S> thee, how<S>370</S> shall I help<S>3467</S> thee? out of the barnfloor<S>1637</S>, or out of the winepress<S>3342</S>? <n>If…: or, Let not the LORD save thee</n>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her, What aileth thee? And she answered<S>559</S>, This woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to me, Give<S>5414</S> thy son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> him to day<S>3117</S>, and we will eat<S>398</S> my son<S>1121</S> to morrow<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> thy son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> him: and she hath hid<S>2244</S> her son<S>1121</S>. <n>next: Heb. other</n>


text:
And it came to pass, 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>; and he passed by<S>5674</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> looked<S>7200</S>, and, behold, <i>he had </i>sackcloth<S>8242</S> beneath<S>1004</S> upon his flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so and more<S>3254</S> also to me, if the head<S>7218</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> shall stand<S>5975</S> on him this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But Elisha<S>477</S> sat<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> sat<S>3427</S> with him; and <i>the king </i>sent<S>7971</S> a man<S>376</S> from before<S>6440</S> him: but before the messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to him, he said<S>559</S> to the elders<S>2205</S>, See<S>7200</S> ye how this son<S>1121</S> of a murderer<S>7523</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> to take away<S>5493</S> my head<S>7218</S>? look<S>7200</S>, when the messenger<S>4397</S> cometh<S>935</S>, shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S>, and hold him fast<S>3905</S> at the door<S>1817</S>: <i>is</i> not the sound<S>6963</S> of his master’s<S>113</S> feet<S>7272</S> behind<S>310</S> him?


text:
And while he yet talked<S>1696</S> with them, behold, the messenger<S>4397</S> came down<S>3381</S> to him: and he said<S>559</S>, Behold, this evil<S>7451</S> <i>is</i> from the LORD<S>3068</S>; why should I wait<S>3176</S> for the LORD<S>3068</S> any longer?


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> ye the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> <i>shall</i> a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> <i>be sold</i> 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:
Then a lord<S>7991</S> on whose hand<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> leaned<S>8172</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold, <i>if</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> would make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>, might this thing<S>1697</S> be? And he said<S>559</S>, Behold, thou shalt see<S>7200</S> <i>it</i> with thy eyes<S>5869</S>, but shalt not eat<S>398</S> of it. <n>a lord…: Heb. a lord which belonged to the king leaning upon his hand</n>


text:
And there were four<S>702</S> leprous<S>6879</S> men<S>582</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, Why sit<S>3427</S> we here until we die<S>4191</S>?


text:
If we say<S>559</S>, We will enter<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, then the famine<S>7458</S> <i>is</i> in the city<S>5892</S>, and we shall die<S>4191</S> there: and if we sit still<S>3427</S> here, we die<S>4191</S> also. Now therefore come<S>3212</S>, and let us fall<S>5307</S> to the army<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>: if they save us alive<S>2421</S>, we shall live<S>2421</S>; and if they kill<S>4191</S> us, we shall but die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And they rose<S>6965</S> in the twilight<S>5399</S>, to go<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>: and when they had come<S>935</S> to the edge<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, behold, <i>there was</i> no man<S>376</S> there.


text:
For the Lord<S>136</S> had made the army<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> to hear<S>8085</S> a noise<S>6963</S> of chariots<S>7393</S>, and a noise<S>6963</S> of horses<S>5483</S>, <i>even</i> the noise<S>6963</S> of a great<S>1419</S> army<S>2428</S>: and they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>251</S>, Lo, the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> hath hired<S>7936</S> against 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.

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> as it <i>was</i>, and fled<S>5127</S> for their life<S>5315</S>.


text:
And when these lepers<S>6879</S> came<S>935</S> to the edge<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S>, they went<S>935</S> into 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 silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and raiment<S>899</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and hid<S>2934</S> <i>it</i>; and came again<S>7725</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into another<S>312</S> tent<S>168</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> from there <i>also</i>, and went<S>3212</S> and hid<S>2934</S> <i>it</i>.


text:
Then they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, We do<S>6213</S> not well: this day<S>3117</S> <i>is</i> a day<S>3117</S> of good tidings<S>1309</S>, and we hold our peace<S>2814</S>: if we tarry<S>2442</S> till the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, some mischief<S>5771</S> will come<S>4672</S> upon us: now therefore come<S>3212</S>, that we may go<S>935</S> and tell<S>5046</S> the king’s<S>4428</S> household<S>1004</S>. <n>some…: Heb. we shall find punishment</n>


text:
So they came<S>935</S> and called<S>7121</S> to the porter<S>7778</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and they told<S>5046</S> him, saying<S>559</S>, We came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and, behold, <i>there was</i> no man<S>376</S> there, neither voice<S>6963</S> of man<S>120</S>, but horses<S>5483</S> tied<S>631</S>, and donkeys<S>2543</S> tied<S>631</S>, and the tents<S>168</S> as they <i>were</i>.


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> the porters<S>7778</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to the king’s<S>4428</S> house<S>1004</S> within<S>6441</S>.


text:
And 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 show<S>5046</S> you what the Syrians<S>758</S> have done<S>6213</S> to us. They know<S>3045</S> that we <i>are </i>hungry<S>7457</S>; therefore they have gone out<S>3318</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> to hide<S>2247</S> themselves in the field<S>7704</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When they come out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, we shall take<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>, Let <i>some </i>take<S>3947</S>, I pray thee, five<S>2568</S> of the horses<S>5483</S> that remain<S>7604</S>, which are left<S>7604</S> in the city, (behold, they <i>are</i> as all the multitude<S>1995</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that are left<S>7604</S> in it: behold, <i>I say</i>, they <i>are</i> even as all the multitude<S>1995</S> of the Israelites<S>3478</S> that are consumed<S>8552</S>:) and let us send<S>7971</S> and see<S>7200</S>. <n>in the city: Heb. in it</n>


text:
They took<S>3947</S> therefore two<S>8147</S> chariot<S>7393</S> horses<S>5483</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> after<S>310</S> the host<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and see<S>7200</S>.


text:
And they went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> them to Jordan<S>3383</S>: and, lo, all the way<S>1870</S> <i>was </i>full<S>4392</S> of garments<S>899</S> and vessels<S>3627</S>, which the Syrians<S>758</S> had cast away<S>7993</S> in their haste<S>2648</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and plundered<S>962</S> the tents<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>. So a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> was <i>sold</i> 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:
And the king<S>4428</S> appointed<S>6485</S> the lord<S>7991</S> on whose hand<S>3027</S> he leaned<S>8172</S> to have the charge of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> trod<S>7429</S> upon him in the gate<S>8179</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>, as the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had said<S>1696</S>, who spoke<S>1696</S> when the king<S>4428</S> came down<S>3381</S> to him.


text:
And it came to pass 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 flour<S>5560</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, shall be to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>:


text:
And that lord<S>7991</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Now, behold, <i>if</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> should make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>, might such a thing<S>1697</S> be? And he said<S>559</S>, Behold, thou shalt see<S>7200</S> it with thy eyes<S>5869</S>, but shalt not eat<S>398</S> of it.


text:
And so it happened to him: for the people<S>5971</S> trod<S>7429</S> upon him in the gate<S>8179</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to the woman<S>802</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> he had restored to life<S>2421</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and go<S>3212</S> thou and thy household<S>1004</S>, and sojourn<S>1481</S> wherever<S>834</S> thou canst sojourn<S>1481</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath called<S>7121</S> for a famine<S>7458</S>; and it shall also come<S>935</S> upon the land<S>776</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: and she went<S>3212</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>.


text:
And it came to pass at the seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>’ end<S>7097</S>, that the woman<S>802</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and she went forth<S>3318</S> to appeal<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> talked<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>, Tell<S>5608</S> me, I pray thee, all the great things<S>1419</S> that Elisha<S>477</S> hath done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, as he was telling<S>5608</S> the king<S>4428</S> how he had restored<S>2421</S> a dead body<S>4191</S> to life<S>2421</S>, that, behold, the woman<S>802</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> he had restored to life<S>2421</S>, appealed<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>. And Gehazi<S>1522</S> said<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, this <i>is</i> the woman<S>802</S>, and this <i>is</i> her son<S>1121</S>, whom Elisha<S>477</S> restored to life<S>2421</S>.


text:
And when the king<S>4428</S> asked<S>7592</S> the woman<S>802</S>, she told<S>5608</S> him. So the king<S>4428</S> appointed<S>5414</S> to her a certain<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Restore<S>7725</S> all that <i>was</i> hers, and all the fruits<S>8393</S> of the field<S>7704</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that she left<S>5800</S> the land<S>776</S>, even till now. <n>officer: or, eunuch</n>


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> came<S>935</S> to Damascus<S>1834</S>; and Benhadad<S>1130</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was sick<S>2470</S>; and it was told<S>5046</S> to him, saying<S>559</S>, The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> hath come<S>935</S> here<S>2008</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Hazael<S>2371</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a present<S>4503</S> in thy hand<S>3027</S>, and go<S>3212</S>, meet<S>7125</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and enquire<S>1875</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> by him, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I recover<S>2421</S> of this disease<S>2483</S>?


text:
So Hazael<S>2371</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him, and took<S>3947</S> a present<S>4503</S> with him<S>3027</S>, even of every good thing<S>2898</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, forty<S>705</S> camels<S>1581</S>’ burden<S>4853</S>, and came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him, and said<S>559</S>, Thy son<S>1121</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> me to thee, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I recover<S>2421</S> of this disease<S>2483</S>? <n>with…: Heb. in his hand</n>


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Go<S>3212</S>, say<S>559</S> to him, Thou mayest certainly<S>2421</S> recover<S>2421</S>: but the LORD<S>3068</S> hath showed<S>7200</S> me that he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he settled<S>5975</S> his countenance<S>6440</S> steadfastly<S>7760</S>, until he was ashamed<S>954</S>: and the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> wept<S>1058</S>. <n>stedfastly: Heb. and set it</n>


text:
And Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, Why weepeth<S>1058</S> my lord<S>113</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Because I know<S>3045</S> the evil<S>7451</S> that thou wilt do<S>6213</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: their strong holds<S>4013</S> wilt thou set<S>7971</S> on fire<S>784</S>, and their young men<S>970</S> wilt thou slay<S>2026</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and wilt dash<S>7376</S> their children<S>5768</S>, and rip up<S>1234</S> their women with child<S>2030</S>.


text:
And Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, But what, <i>is</i> thy servant<S>5650</S> a dog<S>3611</S>, that he should do<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>? And Elisha<S>477</S> answered<S>559</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> hath shown<S>7200</S> me that thou <i>shalt be </i>king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>.


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> from Elisha<S>477</S>, and came<S>935</S> to his master<S>113</S>; who said<S>559</S> to him, What said<S>559</S> Elisha<S>477</S> to thee? And he answered<S>559</S>, He told<S>559</S> me <i>that</i> thou shouldest surely<S>2421</S> recover<S>2421</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the next day<S>4283</S>, that he took<S>3947</S> a thick cloth<S>4346</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> <i>it</i> in water<S>4325</S>, and spread<S>6566</S> <i>it</i> on his face<S>6440</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>: and Hazael<S>2371</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead.

And in the fifth<S>2568</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> <i>being</i> then king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>. <n>began…: Heb. reigned</n>

And he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as did<S>6213</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> was his wife<S>802</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.

Yet the LORD<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> Judah<S>3063</S> for David<S>1732</S> his servant’s<S>5650</S> sake, as he promised<S>559</S> him to give<S>5414</S> him always<S>3117</S> a light<S>5216</S>, <i>and</i> to his children<S>1121</S>. <n>light: Heb. candle, or, lamp</n>

In his days<S>3117</S> Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made<S>4427</S> a king<S>4428</S> over themselves.


text:
So Joram<S>3141</S> went over<S>5674</S> to Zair<S>6811</S>, and all the chariots<S>7393</S> with him: and he rose<S>6965</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Edomites<S>123</S> who surrounded<S>5437</S> him, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> fled<S>5127</S> into their tents<S>168</S>.

Yet Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to this day<S>3117</S>. Then Libnah<S>3841</S> revolted<S>6586</S> at the same<S>1931</S> time<S>6256</S>.

So Jehu<S>3058</S> rode in a chariot<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>; for Joram<S>3141</S> lay<S>7901</S> there. And Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had come down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.

And there stood<S>5975</S> a watchman<S>6822</S> on the tower<S>4026</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and he spied<S>7200</S> the company<S>8229</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> as he came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I see<S>7200</S> a company<S>8229</S>.

So there went<S>3212</S> one on horseback<S>7392</S> <S>5483</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <i>Is it </i>peace<S>7965</S>?

Then he sent out<S>7971</S> a second<S>8145</S> on horseback<S>7392</S> <S>5483</S>, who came<S>935</S> to them, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <i>Is it </i>peace<S>7965</S>?

And the watchman<S>6822</S> told<S>5046</S>, saying<S>559</S>, He came<S>935</S> even to them, and doth not return<S>7725</S>: and the driving<S>4491</S> <i>is</i> like the driving<S>4491</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>; for he driveth<S>5090</S> furiously<S>7697</S>. <n>driving: or, marching furiously: Heb. in madness</n>

And Joram<S>3088</S> said<S>559</S>, Make ready<S>631</S>. And his chariot<S>7393</S> was made ready<S>631</S>.

And it came to pass, when Joram<S>3088</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, <i>Is it </i>peace<S>7965</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S>?

Then said<S>559</S> <i>Jehu</i> to Bidkar<S>920</S> his captain<S>7991</S>, Take up<S>5375</S>, <i>and </i>cast<S>7993</S> him into the portion<S>2513</S> of the field<S>7704</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>: for remember<S>2142</S> how that, when I and thou rode<S>7392</S> together<S>6776</S> after<S>310</S> Ahab<S>256</S> his father<S>1</S>, the LORD<S>3068</S> laid<S>5375</S> this burden<S>4853</S> upon him;

But when Ahaziah<S>274</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> saw<S>7200</S> <i>this</i>, he fled<S>5127</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the garden<S>1588</S> house<S>1004</S>.

And his servants<S>5650</S> carried<S>7392</S> him in a chariot to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in his sepulchre<S>6900</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.

And when Jehu<S>3058</S> had come<S>935</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>, Jezebel<S>348</S> heard<S>8085</S> <i>of it</i>; and she painted<S>7760</S> <S>6320</S> her face<S>5869</S>, and adorned<S>3190</S> her head<S>7218</S>, and looked out<S>8259</S> at a window<S>2474</S>. <n>painted…: Heb. put her eyes in painting</n>

Therefore they came again<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him.

In the twelfth<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Hoshea<S>1954</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> to reign<S>4427</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S>.

And he did<S>6213</S> <i>that which was </i>evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, but not as the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were before<S>6440</S> him.

Against him came up<S>5927</S> Shalmaneser<S>8022</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>; and Hoshea<S>1954</S> became his servant<S>5650</S>, and gave<S>7725</S> him tribute<S>4503</S>. <n>gave: Heb. rendered presents: or, tribute</n>

And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> found<S>4672</S> conspiracy<S>7195</S> in Hoshea<S>1954</S>: for he had sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to So<S>5471</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> no tribute<S>4503</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, as <i>he had done </i>year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>: therefore the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> shut him up<S>6113</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him in prison<S>1004</S> <S>3608</S>. <n>present: or, tribute</n>

Then the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came up<S>5927</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> it three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.

In the ninth<S>8671</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> took<S>3920</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and carried<S>1540</S> Israel<S>3478</S> away<S>1540</S> into Assyria<S>804</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> them in Halah<S>2477</S> and in Habor<S>2249</S> <i>by</i> the river<S>5104</S> of Gozan<S>1470</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Medes<S>4074</S>.

For <i>so</i> it was, that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had sinned<S>2398</S> against the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who had brought them<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and had feared<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>,

And walked<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the LORD<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which they had made<S>6213</S>.

And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did secretly<S>2644</S> things<S>1697</S> that <i>were</i> not right against the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and they built<S>1129</S> for themselves high places<S>1116</S> in all their cities<S>5892</S>, from the tower<S>4026</S> of the watchmen<S>5341</S> to the fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>.

And they set up<S>5324</S> for themselves images<S>4676</S> and groves<S>842</S> on every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>: <n>images: Heb. statues</n>


text:
And there they burnt incense<S>6999</S> on all the high places<S>1116</S>, as <i>did</i> the heathen<S>1471</S> whom the LORD<S>3068</S> carried away<S>1540</S> before<S>6440</S> them; and wrought<S>6213</S> wicked<S>7451</S> things<S>1697</S> to provoke the LORD<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>:

For they served<S>5647</S> idols<S>1544</S>, of which the LORD<S>3068</S> had said<S>559</S> to them, Ye shall not do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.

Yet the LORD<S>3068</S> testified<S>5749</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and against Judah<S>3063</S>, by<S>3027</S> all the prophets<S>5030</S>, <i>and by</i> all the seers<S>2374</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Turn<S>7725</S> ye from your evil<S>7451</S> ways<S>1870</S>, and keep<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> <i>and</i> my statutes<S>2708</S>, according to all the law<S>8451</S> which I commanded<S>6680</S> your fathers<S>1</S>, and which I sent<S>7971</S> to you by<S>3027</S> my servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>. <n>by: Heb. by the hand of</n>

However they would not hear<S>8085</S>, but hardened<S>7185</S> their necks<S>6203</S>, like the neck<S>6203</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, that did not believe<S>539</S> in the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
And they rejected<S>3988</S> his statutes<S>2706</S>, and his covenant<S>1285</S> that he made<S>3772</S> with their fathers<S>1</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S> which he testified<S>5749</S> against them; and they followed<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> vanity<S>1892</S>, and became vain<S>1891</S>, and went after<S>310</S> the heathen<S>1471</S> that <i>were </i>around<S>5439</S> them, <i>concerning</i> whom the LORD<S>3068</S> had charged<S>6680</S> them, that they should not do<S>6213</S> like them.


text:
And they left<S>5800</S> all the commandments<S>4687</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and made<S>6213</S> for themselves molten images<S>4541</S>, <i>even </i>two<S>8147</S> calves<S>5695</S>, and made<S>6213</S> a grove<S>842</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> all the host<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>.

And they caused their sons<S>1121</S> and their daughters<S>1323</S> to pass<S>5674</S> through the fire<S>784</S>, and used<S>7080</S> divination<S>7081</S> and enchantments<S>5172</S>, and sold<S>4376</S> themselves to do<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Therefore the LORD<S>3068</S> was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>599</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>: there was none left<S>7604</S> but the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> only.

Also Judah<S>3063</S> kept<S>8104</S> not the commandments<S>4687</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, but walked<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> which they made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> rejected<S>3988</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S> them, and delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of spoilers<S>8154</S>, until he had cast<S>7993</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he tore<S>7167</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and they made Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> king<S>4427</S>: and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> drove<S>5080</S> <S>5077</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from following<S>310</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and made them sin<S>2398</S> a great<S>1419</S> sin<S>2401</S>.


text:
For the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> walked<S>3212</S> in all the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> which he did<S>6213</S>; they departed<S>5493</S> not from them;

Until the LORD<S>3068</S> removed<S>5493</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of his sight<S>6440</S>, as he had said<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> all his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>. So was Israel<S>3478</S> carried away<S>1540</S> out of their own land<S>127</S> to Assyria<S>804</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> brought<S>935</S> <i>men</i> from Babylon<S>894</S>, and from Cuthah<S>3575</S>, and from Ava<S>5755</S>, and from Hamath<S>2574</S>, and from Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> <i>them</i> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> instead of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and they possessed<S>3423</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in its cities<S>5892</S>.


text:
And <i>so</i> it was at the beginning<S>8462</S> of their dwelling<S>3427</S> there, <i>that</i> they feared<S>3372</S> not the LORD<S>3068</S>: therefore the LORD<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them, which slew<S>2026</S> <i>some</i> of them.


text:
Therefore they spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The nations<S>1471</S> which thou hast removed<S>1540</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, know<S>3045</S> not the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>: therefore he hath sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them, and, behold, they slay<S>4191</S> them, because they know<S>3045</S> not the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Take<S>3212</S> there one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> whom ye brought<S>1540</S> from there; and let them go<S>3212</S> and dwell<S>3427</S> there, and let him teach<S>3384</S> them the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Then one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> whom they had carried away<S>1540</S> from Samaria<S>8111</S> came<S>935</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>, and taught<S>3384</S> them how they should fear<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yet every nation<S>1471</S> made<S>6213</S> gods<S>430</S> of their own, and put<S>3240</S> <i>them</i> in the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which the Samaritans<S>8118</S> had made<S>6213</S>, every nation<S>1471</S> in their cities<S>5892</S> in which they dwelt<S>3427</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> made<S>6213</S> Succothbenoth<S>5524</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Cuth<S>3575</S> made<S>6213</S> Nergal<S>5370</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> made<S>6213</S> Ashima<S>807</S>,


text:
And the Avites<S>5757</S> made<S>6213</S> Nibhaz<S>5026</S> and Tartak<S>8662</S>, and the Sepharvites<S>5616</S> burnt<S>8313</S> their children<S>1121</S> in the fire<S>784</S> to Adrammelech<S>152</S> and Anammelech<S>6048</S>, the gods<S>430</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>.


text:
So they feared<S>3373</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and made<S>6213</S> to themselves of the lowest<S>7098</S> of them priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>, who sacrificed<S>6213</S> for them in the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
They feared<S>3373</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their own gods<S>430</S>, after the manner<S>4941</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> whom they carried away<S>1540</S> from there. <n>whom…: or, who carried them away from thence</n>


text:
To this day<S>3117</S> they do<S>6213</S> after the former<S>7223</S> manners<S>4941</S>: they fear<S>3373</S> not the LORD<S>3068</S>, neither do<S>6213</S> they after their statutes<S>2708</S>, or after their ordinances<S>4941</S>, or after the law<S>8451</S> and commandment<S>4687</S> which the LORD<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, whom he named<S>7760</S> <S>8034</S> Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
With whom the LORD<S>3068</S> had made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, and charged<S>6680</S> them, saying<S>559</S>, Ye shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, nor bow<S>7812</S> yourselves to them, nor serve<S>5647</S> them, nor sacrifice<S>2076</S> to them:


text:
But the LORD<S>3068</S>, who brought you<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> with great<S>1419</S> power<S>3581</S> and an outstretched<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>, him shall ye fear<S>3372</S>, and him shall ye worship<S>7812</S>, and to him shall ye sacrifice<S>2076</S>.


text:
And the statutes<S>2706</S>, and the ordinances<S>4941</S>, and the law<S>8451</S>, and the commandment<S>4687</S>, which he wrote<S>3789</S> for you, ye shall observe<S>8104</S> to do<S>6213</S> for evermore<S>3117</S>; and ye shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And the covenant<S>1285</S> that I have made<S>3772</S> with you ye shall not forget<S>7911</S>; neither shall ye fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
But the LORD<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> ye shall fear<S>3372</S>; and he shall deliver<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all your enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
Yet they did not hearken<S>8085</S>, but they did<S>6213</S> after their former<S>7223</S> manner<S>4941</S>.


text:
So these nations<S>1471</S> feared<S>3373</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their graven images<S>6456</S>, both their children<S>1121</S>, and their children’s<S>1121</S> children<S>1121</S>: as did<S>6213</S> their fathers<S>1</S>, so do<S>6213</S> they to this day<S>3117</S>.

Now it came to pass in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>that </i>Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>. <n>Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias</n>

Twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother’s<S>517</S> name<S>8034</S> also <i>was </i>Abi<S>21</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zachariah<S>2148</S>. <n>Abi: also called, Abijah</n>

And he did<S>6213</S> <i>that which was </i>right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, according to all that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> did<S>6213</S>.

He removed<S>5493</S> the high places<S>1116</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> the images<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> the groves<S>842</S>, and broke in pieces<S>3807</S> the brasen<S>5178</S> serpent<S>5175</S> that Moses<S>4872</S> had made<S>6213</S>: for till those days<S>3117</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> burnt incense<S>6999</S> to it: and he called<S>7121</S> it Nehushtan<S>5180</S>. <n>images: Heb. statues Nehushtan: that is, A piece of brass</n>


text:
He trusted<S>982</S> in the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; so that after<S>310</S> him was none like him among all the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, nor <i>any</i> that were before<S>6440</S> him.

For he clung<S>1692</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, <i>and </i>departed<S>5493</S> not from following<S>310</S> him, but kept<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>, which the LORD<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Moses<S>4872</S>. <n>from…: Heb. from after him</n>

And the LORD<S>3068</S> was with him; <i>and</i> he prospered<S>7919</S> wherever he went forth<S>3318</S>: and he rebelled<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and served<S>5647</S> him not.

He smote<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, <i>even</i> to Gaza<S>5804</S>, and its borders<S>1366</S>, from the tower<S>4026</S> of the watchmen<S>5341</S> to the fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>. <n>Gaza: Heb. Azzah</n>

Then Isaiah<S>3470</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>That</i> which thou hast prayed<S>6419</S> to me against Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> I have heard<S>8085</S>.
