For<S>1063</S> behold<S>2400</S>, this<S>5124</S> same thing<S>846</S>, that<S>3076</S> you<S>5209</S> were made sorry<S>3076</S> in<S>2596</S> a godly way<S>2316</S>, what<S>4214</S> earnest care<S>4710</S> it worked<S>2716</S> in you<S>5213</S>.

So<S>686</S> although<S>1487, 2532</S> I wrote<S>1125</S> to you<S>5213</S>, I wrote not<S>3756</S> for his cause<S>1752</S> that<S>3588</S> did the wrong<S>91</S>, nor<S>3761</S> for his cause<S>1752</S> that suffered the wrong<S>91</S>, but<S>235</S> that your<S>2257</S> earnest care<S>4710</S> for<S>5228</S> us<S>2257</S> might be revealed<S>5319</S> in<S>4314</S> you<S>5209</S> in the sight<S>1799</S> of God<S>2316</S>.

Therefore<S>1223, 5124</S> we have been comforted<S>3870</S>. <S>1161</S> In<S>1909</S> our<S>5216</S> comfort<S>3874</S> we<S>5463</S> rejoiced the more<S>3123</S> exceedingly<S>4056</S> for<S>1909</S> the joy<S>5479</S> of Titus<S>5103</S>, because<S>3754</S> his<S>846</S> spirit<S>4151</S> has been refreshed<S>373</S> by<S>575</S> you<S>5216</S> all<S>3956</S>.

For<S>3754</S> if<S>1487</S> in anything<S>5100</S> I have boasted<S>2744</S> to him<S>846</S> on your<S>5216</S> behalf<S>5228</S>, I was<S>2617</S> not<S>3756</S> disappointed<S>2617</S>.

<S>2532</S> His<S>846</S> affection<S>4698</S> is<S>2076</S> more abundantly<S>4056</S> toward<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S>, while he remembers<S>363</S> all<S>3956</S> of your<S>5216</S> obedience<S>5218</S>, how<S>5613</S> with<S>3326</S> fear<S>5401</S> and<S>2532</S> trembling<S>5156</S> you received<S>1209</S> him<S>846</S>.

I rejoice<S>5463, 1722</S> that<S>1722</S> in<S>3956</S> everything<S>2292</S> I am confident<S>1722</S> concerning<S>3956</S> you<S>5213</S>.

Moreover<S>1161</S>, brothers<S>80</S>, we make known<S>1107</S> to you<S>5213</S> the grace<S>5485</S> of God<S>2316</S> which has been given<S>1325</S> in<S>1722</S> the assemblies<S>1577</S> of Macedonia<S>3109</S>;

how that<S>3754</S> in<S>1722</S> much<S>4183</S> proof<S>1382</S> of affliction<S>2347</S> the abundance<S>4050</S> of their<S>846</S> joy<S>5479</S> and<S>2532, 2596</S> their<S>846</S> deep<S>899</S> poverty<S>4432</S> abounded<S>4052</S> to<S>1519</S> the riches<S>4149</S> of their<S>846</S> liberality<S>572</S>.


text:
For<S>3754</S> according to<S>2596</S> their power<S>1411</S>, I testify<S>3140</S>, yes and<S>2532</S> beyond<S>5228</S> their power<S>1411</S>, they gave of their own accord<S>830</S>,

begging<S>1189</S> us<S>2257</S> with<S>3326</S> much<S>4183</S> entreaty<S>3874</S> to<S>2248</S> receive<S>1209</S> this grace<S>5485</S> and<S>2532</S> the fellowship<S>2842</S> in the service<S>1248</S> to<S>1519</S> the saints<S>40</S>.


text:
<S>2532</S> This was not<S>3756</S> as<S>2531</S> we had hoped<S>1679</S>, but<S>235</S> first<S>4412</S> they gave<S>1325</S> their own selves<S>1438</S> to the Lord<S>2962</S>, and<S>2532</S> to us<S>2254</S> through<S>1223</S> the will<S>2307</S> of God<S>2316</S>.


text:
So<S>1519, 3870</S> we<S>2248</S> urged<S>3870</S> Titus<S>5103</S>, that<S>3870</S> as<S>2531</S> he made a beginning<S>4278</S> before<S>3779</S>, so he would also<S>2532</S> complete<S>2005</S> in<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S> this<S>3778, 2532</S> grace<S>5485</S>.

But<S>235</S> as<S>5618</S> you abound<S>4052</S> in<S>1722</S> everything<S>3956</S>, in faith<S>4102</S>, utterance<S>3056</S>, knowledge<S>1108</S>, all<S>3956</S> earnestness<S>4710</S>, and<S>2532, 1537</S> in your<S>5216</S> love<S>26</S> to<S>1722</S> us<S>2254</S>, see that<S>2443</S> you also<S>2532</S> abound<S>4052</S> in<S>1722</S> this<S>3778</S> grace<S>5485</S>.

I speak<S>3004</S> not<S>3756</S> by<S>2596</S> way of commandment<S>2003</S>, but<S>235</S> as<S>1223</S> proving<S>1381</S> through the earnestness<S>4710</S> of others<S>2087</S> the sincerity<S>1103</S> also<S>2532</S> of your<S>5212</S> love<S>26</S>.

For<S>1063</S> you know<S>1097</S> the grace<S>5485</S> of our<S>2257</S> Lord<S>2962</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> Christ<S>5547</S>, that<S>3754</S>, though he was<S>5607</S> rich<S>4145</S>, yet for<S>1223</S> your sakes<S>5209</S> he became poor<S>4433</S>, that<S>2443</S> you<S>5210</S> through his<S>1565</S> poverty<S>4432</S> might become rich<S>4147</S>.

<S>2532, 1722, 5129</S> I give<S>1325</S> a judgment<S>1106</S> in this<S>1063</S>: for this<S>5124</S> is expedient<S>4851</S> for you<S>5213</S>, who<S>3748</S> were the first<S>4278</S> to start a<S>575</S> year ago<S>4070</S>, not<S>3756</S> only<S>3440</S> to do<S>4160</S>, but<S>235</S> also<S>2532</S> to be willing<S>2309</S>.

But<S>2532</S> now<S>3570</S> complete<S>2005</S> the doing<S>4160</S> also<S>3704</S>, that as<S>2509</S> there was the readiness<S>4288</S> to be willing<S>2309</S>, so<S>3779</S> there may be the completion<S>2005</S> also<S>2532</S> out of<S>1537</S> your<S>3588</S> ability<S>2192</S>.


text:
For<S>1063</S> if<S>1487</S> the readiness<S>4288</S> is there<S>4295</S>, it is acceptable<S>2144</S> according to what<S>2526</S> you<S>5100</S> have<S>1437</S>, not<S>3756</S> according to<S>2526</S> what you don<S>3756</S>'t have<S>2192</S>.


text:
For<S>1063</S> this is not<S>3756</S> that<S>2443</S> others<S>243</S> may be eased<S>425</S> and<S>1161</S> you<S>5213</S> distressed<S>2347</S>,

but<S>235</S> for<S>1537</S> equality<S>2471</S>. Your<S>5216</S> abundance<S>4051</S> at<S>1722</S> this present<S>3568</S> time<S>2540</S> supplies<S>1519</S> their<S>1565</S> lack<S>5303</S>, that<S>2443</S> their<S>1565</S> abundance<S>4051</S> also<S>2532</S> may become<S>1096</S> a supply for<S>1519</S> your<S>5216</S> lack<S>5303</S>; that<S>3704</S> there may be<S>1096</S> equality<S>2471</S>.

As<S>2531</S> it is written<S>1125</S>, "He who<S>3588</S> gathered much<S>4183</S> had<S>4121</S> nothing<S>3756</S> left over<S>4121</S>, and<S>2532</S> he who<S>3588</S> gathered little<S>3641</S> had<S>1641</S> no<S>3756</S> lack<S>1641</S>."

But<S>1161</S> thanks<S>5485</S> be to God<S>2316</S>, who<S>3588</S> puts<S>1325</S> the same<S>846</S> earnest care<S>4710</S> for<S>5228</S> you<S>5216</S> into<S>1722</S> the heart<S>2588</S> of Titus<S>5103</S>.

For<S>3754</S> he indeed<S>3303</S> accepted<S>1209</S> our exhortation<S>3874</S>, but<S>1161</S> being<S>5225</S> himself very earnest<S>4705</S>, he went<S>1831</S> out to<S>4314</S> you<S>5209</S> of his own accord<S>830</S>.

<S>1161</S> We have sent<S>4842</S> together with<S>3326</S> him<S>846</S> the brother<S>80</S> whose<S>3739</S> praise<S>1868</S> in<S>1722</S> the Good News<S>2098</S> is known through<S>1223</S> all<S>3956</S> the assemblies<S>1577</S>.

<S>1161</S> Not<S>3756</S> only<S>3440</S> so<S>235</S>, but who was<S>5500</S> also<S>2532</S> appointed<S>5500</S> by<S>5259</S> the assemblies<S>1577</S> to travel with<S>4898</S> us<S>2257</S> in<S>4862</S> this<S>3778</S> grace<S>5485</S>, which<S>3588</S> is served<S>1247</S> by<S>5259</S> us<S>2257</S> to<S>4314</S> the glory<S>1391</S> of the<S>846</S> Lord<S>2962</S> himself<S>2532</S>, and to show our<S>5216</S> readiness<S>4288</S>.


text:
We are avoiding<S>4724</S> this<S>5124</S>, that any<S>3361</S> man<S>5100</S> should blame<S>3469</S> us<S>2248</S> concerning<S>1722</S> this<S>3778</S> abundance<S>100</S> which is administered<S>1247</S> by<S>5259</S> us<S>2257</S>.

Having regard for<S>4306</S> honorable things<S>2570</S>, not<S>3756</S> only<S>3440</S> in the sight of<S>1799</S> the Lord<S>2962</S>, but<S>235</S> also<S>2532</S> in the sight<S>1799</S> of men<S>444</S>.


text:
<S>1161</S> We have sent with<S>4842</S> them<S>846</S> our<S>2257</S> brother<S>80</S>, whom<S>3739</S> we have<S>1381</S> many times<S>4178</S> proved<S>1381, Ephesians7</S> earnest<S>4705</S> in<S>1722</S> many things<S>4183</S>, but<S>1161</S> now<S>3570</S> much<S>4183</S> more earnest<S>4706</S>, by reason of the great<S>4183</S> confidence<S>4006</S> which<S>3588</S> he has in<S>1519</S> you<S>4706</S>.


text:
As<S>1535</S> for<S>5228</S> Titus<S>5103</S>, he is my<S>1699</S> partner<S>2844</S> and<S>2532</S> fellow worker<S>4904</S> for<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S>.

Therefore<S>3767</S> show<S>1731</S> the proof<S>1732</S> of your<S>5216</S> love<S>26</S> to<S>1519</S> them<S>846, 2532</S> in<S>1519</S> front<S>4383</S> of the assemblies<S>1577</S>, and<S>2532</S> of our<S>2257</S> boasting<S>2746</S> on<S>5228</S> your behalf<S>5216</S>.

It is<S>2076</S> indeed unnecessary<S>4053</S> for<S>1063</S> me<S>3427</S> to write<S>1125</S> to you<S>5213, Genesis63</S> concerning<S>4012</S> the service<S>1248</S> to<S>1519</S> the saints<S>40</S>,

I thought it<S>2233</S> necessary<S>316</S> therefore<S>3767</S> to entreat<S>3870</S> the brothers<S>80</S> that<S>2443</S> they would go before<S>4281</S> to<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S>, and<S>2532</S> arrange ahead of time<S>4294</S> the generous<S>2129</S> gift that you<S>5216</S> promised before<S>4293</S>, that the same<S>3778</S> might be<S>1511, 3779</S> ready<S>2092</S> as<S>5613</S> a<S>3779</S> matter of generosity<S>2129</S>, and<S>2532</S> not<S>3361</S> of greediness<S>4124</S>.

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:
Ahaziah<S>274</S> fell down<S>5307</S> through the lattice<S>7639</S> in his upper room<S>5944</S> that was in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and was sick<S>2470</S>. So he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3212</S>, "Go, inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal Zebub<S>1176</S>, the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>, whether I will recover<S>2421</S> of this sickness<S>2483</S>."


text:
But the angel<S>4397</S> of Yahweh<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 tell<S>1696</S> them<S>430</S>, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel<S>3478</S>, that you go<S>1980</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal Zebub<S>1176</S>, the god<S>1980</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>?


text:
Now therefore thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "You shall not come down<S>3381</S> from the bed<S>4296</S> where you have gone up<S>5927</S>, but shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>."'" Elijah<S>452</S> departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
The messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S> to him<S>559</S>, and he said to them<S>2088</S>, "Why is it that you have returned<S>7725</S>?"


text:
They said<S>559</S> to him<S>376</S>, "A man came<S>5927</S> up<S>5927</S> to meet<S>7125</S> us<S>559</S>, and said to us<S>3212</S>, 'Go, return<S>7725</S> to the king<S>4428</S> who sent<S>7971</S> you<S>1696</S>, and tell him<S>1696</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>430</S> 'Is it because there is no God in Israel<S>3478</S>, that you send<S>7971</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal Zebub<S>1176</S>, the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>? Therefore you shall not come down<S>3381</S> from the bed<S>4296</S> where you have gone up<S>5927</S>, but shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.'"'"


text:
He said<S>1696</S> to them<S>4941</S>, "What kind of man<S>376</S> was he who came up<S>5927</S> to meet<S>7125</S> you<S>1696</S>, and told you these words<S>1697</S>?"


text:
They answered<S>559</S> him<S>8181</S>, "He was a hairy man<S>1167</S>, and wearing<S>247</S> a leather<S>5785</S> belt<S>232</S> around his waist<S>4975</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "It is Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> a captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S> to him<S>5927</S>. He went up to him<S>3427</S>; and behold, he was sitting on the top<S>7218</S> of the hill<S>2022</S>. He said<S>1696</S> to him<S>376</S>, "Man of God<S>430</S>, the king<S>4428</S> has said<S>1696</S>, <S>3381</S> 'Come down!'"


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> to<S>1696</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S>, "If I am a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from the sky<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> you and your fifty<S>2572</S>!" Fire<S>784</S> came down<S>3381</S> from the sky<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
Again<S>7725</S> he sent<S>7971</S> to him another<S>312</S> captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> and his fifty<S>2572</S>. He answered<S>6030</S> him<S>1696</S>, "Man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, the king<S>4428</S> has said<S>6030</S>, <S>3381</S> 'Come down quickly<S>4120</S>!'"


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> them<S>1696</S>, "If I am a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from the sky<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> you and your fifty<S>2572</S>!" The fire<S>784</S> of God<S>430</S> came down<S>3381</S> from the sky<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
Again<S>7725</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of a third<S>7992</S> fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. 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 begged<S>2603</S> him<S>1696</S>, and said to him<S>376</S>, "Man of God<S>430</S>, please let my life<S>5315</S>, and the life<S>5315</S> of these fifty<S>2572</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, be precious<S>3365</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
Behold<S>784</S>, fire came<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> from the sky<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the two<S>8147</S> former<S>7223</S> captains<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> with their fifties<S>2572</S>. But now let my life<S>5315</S> be precious<S>3365</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>."


text:
The angel<S>4397</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>1696</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, "Go down<S>3381</S> with him<S>3372</S>. Don't be afraid of him<S>6440</S>." He arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> with him to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
He said<S>1696</S> to him<S>1696</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>7971</S> 'Because you have sent messengers<S>4397</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal Zebub<S>1176</S>, the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>, is it because there is no God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of his word<S>1697</S>? Therefore you shall not come down<S>3381</S> from the bed<S>4296</S> where you have gone up<S>5927</S>, but shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.'"


text:
So he died<S>4191</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> which Elijah<S>452</S> had spoken<S>1696</S>. Jehoram<S>3088</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> in his place 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>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Now Ahab<S>256</S> had seventy<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Jehu<S>3058</S> wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, to the rulers<S>8269</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>, even the elders<S>2205</S>, and to those who brought up<S>539</S> the sons of Ahab<S>256</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Now as soon as this letter<S>5612</S> comes<S>935</S> to you<S>113</S>, since your master's sons<S>1121</S> are with you<S>7393</S>, and there are with you chariots and horses<S>5483</S>, a fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S> also<S>5402</S>, and armor.


text:
Select<S>7200</S> the best<S>2896</S> and fittest<S>3477</S> of your master<S>113</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, set<S>7760</S> him on his father<S>1</S>'s throne<S>3678</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> for your master<S>113</S>'s house<S>1004</S>."


text:
But they were exceedingly<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>8147</S>, the two kings<S>4428</S> didn<S>5975</S>'t stand before<S>6440</S> him<S>5975</S>! How then shall we stand?"


text:
He who was over the household<S>1004</S>, and he who was over the city<S>5892</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> also<S>539</S>, and those who raised the children<S>7971</S>, sent to Jehu<S>3058</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "We are your servants<S>5650</S>, and will do<S>6213</S> all that you ask<S>559</S> us<S>376</S>. We will not make any man king<S>4427</S>. You do<S>6213</S> that which is good<S>2896</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>."


text:
Then he wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> the second time<S>8145</S> to them<S>559</S>, saying, "If you are on my side<S>8085</S>, and if you will listen to my voice<S>6963</S>, take<S>3947</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of the men<S>582</S> your master<S>113</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and come<S>935</S> to me to Jezreel<S>3157</S> by tomorrow<S>4279</S> this time<S>6256</S>." Now the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, being seventy<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, were with the great men<S>1419</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, who brought them up<S>1431</S>.


text:
It happened<S>5612</S>, when the letter came<S>935</S> to them<S>3947</S>, that they took the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> them<S>7657</S>, even seventy persons<S>376</S>, and put<S>7760</S> their heads<S>7218</S> in baskets<S>1731</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them to him to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
A messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>935</S>, "They have brought the heads<S>7218</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "Lay<S>7760</S> them in<S>6607</S> two<S>8147</S> heaps<S>6652</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>."


text:
It happened in the morning<S>1242</S>, that he went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S>, and said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, "You are righteous<S>6662</S>. Behold<S>7194</S>, I conspired against my master<S>113</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> him<S>5221</S>; but who struck all these?

Know<S>3045</S> now<S>645</S> that nothing shall fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> of the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which Yahweh<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> concerning the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>. For Yahweh<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> that which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Elijah<S>452</S>."


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> struck<S>5221</S> all that remained<S>7604</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, with all his great men<S>1419</S>, his familiar<S>3045</S> friends<S>3548</S>, and his priests, until he left<S>7604</S> him none remaining<S>8300</S>.


text:
He arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>935</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>. As he was at the shearing<S>7462</S> house<S>1004</S> of the shepherds on the way<S>1870</S>,


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> met<S>4672</S> with the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Who are you<S>559</S>?" They answered, "We are the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>. We are going down<S>3381</S> to greet<S>7965</S> the children<S>1121</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and the children<S>1121</S> of the queen<S>1377</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>!" They took<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> them at the pit<S>953</S> of the shearing house<S>1044</S>, even forty<S>705</S> - two<S>8147</S> men<S>376</S>. He didn<S>7604</S>'t leave any of them<S>376</S>.


text:
When he had departed<S>3212</S> from there<S>3082</S>, he met Jehonadab the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab<S>7394</S> coming to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>1288</S>. He greeted him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>3426</S>, "Is your heart<S>3824</S> right<S>3477</S>, as my heart<S>3824</S> is<S>3426</S> with your heart<S>3824</S>?" Jehonadab<S>3082</S> answered<S>559</S>, "It is<S>3426</S>." "If it is, give<S>5414</S> me your hand<S>3027</S>." He gave<S>5414</S> him his hand<S>3027</S>; and he took him up<S>5927</S> to him into the chariot<S>4818</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Come<S>3212</S> with me<S>7200</S>, and see my zeal<S>7068</S> for Yahweh<S>3068</S>." So they made him ride<S>7392</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
When he came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, he struck<S>5221</S> all who remained<S>7604</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, until he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>.


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


text:
Now therefore call<S>7121</S> to me all the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, all of his worshippers<S>5647</S>, and all of his priests<S>3548</S>. Let none<S>376</S> be absent<S>6485</S>; for I have a great<S>1419</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> to Baal<S>1168</S>. Whoever is absent<S>6485</S>, he shall not live<S>2421</S>." But Jehu<S>3058</S> did<S>6213</S> it in subtlety<S>6122</S>, intending that he might destroy<S>6</S> the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>.


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


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> sent<S>7971</S> through all Israel<S>3478</S>; and all the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> came<S>935</S>, so that there was not a man<S>376</S> left<S>7604</S> that didn<S>935</S>'t come. They came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>; and the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> was filled<S>4390</S> from one end<S>6310</S> to another<S>6310</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him who was over the vestry<S>4458</S>, "Bring out<S>3318</S> robes<S>3830</S> for all the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>!" He brought robes<S>4403</S> out to them<S>3318</S>.


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> went<S>935</S> with Jehonadab<S>3082</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab<S>7394</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>. Then he said<S>559</S> to the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, "Search<S>2664</S>, and look<S>7200</S> that there are<S>3426</S> here with you none of the servants<S>5650</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal only<S>1168</S>."


text:
They went in<S>935</S> to offer<S>6213</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and burnt offerings<S>5930</S>. Now Jehu<S>3058</S> had appointed<S>7760</S> him eighty<S>8084</S> men<S>376</S> outside<S>2351</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "If any<S>376</S> of the men<S>582</S> whom I bring<S>935</S> into your hands<S>3027</S> escape<S>4422</S>, he who lets him go<S>5315</S>, his life shall be for the life of him<S>5315</S>."


text:
It happened<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had made an end of offering<S>5930</S> the burnt offering<S>6213</S>, that Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S> to the guard<S>7323</S> and to the captains<S>7991</S>, "Go in<S>935</S>, and kill<S>5221</S> them<S>376</S>! Let none escape<S>3318</S>." They struck<S>5221</S> them with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; and the guard<S>7323</S> and the captains<S>7991</S> cast them out<S>7993</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>.


text:
They brought out<S>3318</S> the pillars<S>4676</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and burned them<S>8313</S>.


text:
They broke down<S>5422</S> the pillar<S>4676</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke down<S>5422</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and made<S>7760</S> it a latrine<S>4163</S>, to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
However from the sins<S>2399</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S> didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from after<S>310</S> them<S>2091</S>, the golden calves<S>5695</S> that were in Bethel<S>1008</S>, and that were in Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehu<S>3058</S>, "Because you have done well<S>2895</S> in executing<S>6213</S> that which is right<S>3477</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>, and have done<S>6213</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> according to all that was in my heart<S>3824</S>, your sons<S>1121</S> of the fourth<S>7243</S> generation shall sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
But Jehu<S>3058</S> took no heed<S>8104</S> to walk<S>3212</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, with all his heart<S>3824</S>. He didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> to cut<S>7096</S> off<S>7096</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>; and Hazael<S>2371</S> struck<S>5221</S> them in all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
from the Jordan<S>3383</S> eastward<S>4217</S>, all the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, the Gadites<S>1425</S>, and the Reubenites<S>7206</S>, and the Manassites<S>4520</S>, from Aroer<S>6177</S>, which is by the valley<S>5158</S> of the Arnon<S>769</S>, even Gilead<S>1568</S> and Bashan<S>1316</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
The time<S>3117</S> that Jehu<S>3058</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Now when Athaliah<S>6271</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> saw<S>7200</S> that her son<S>1121</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she arose<S>6965</S> and destroyed<S>6</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> royal<S>4467</S>.


text:
But Jehosheba<S>3089</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of king<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3141</S>, sister<S>269</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, took<S>3947</S> Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and stole<S>1589</S> him away from among<S>8432</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> who were slain<S>4191</S>, even him and his nurse<S>3243</S>, and put them in the bedroom<S>2315</S>; and they hid<S>5641</S> him from<S>6440</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S>, so that he was not slain<S>4191</S>;


text:
He was with her hidden<S>2244</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>. Athaliah<S>6271</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over the land<S>776</S>.


text:
In the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> Jehoiada<S>3077</S> sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> the captains<S>3746</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S> of the Carites<S>3746</S> and of the guard<S>7323</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to him into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and he made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with them<S>7650</S>, and took an oath of them in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and showed<S>7200</S> them the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>.


text:
He commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, "This is the thing<S>1697</S> that you shall do<S>6213</S>: a third part<S>7992</S> of you<S>935</S>, who come in on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>, shall be keepers<S>8104</S> of the watch<S>4931</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>;


text:
A third part<S>7992</S> shall be at the gate<S>8179</S> Sur<S>5495</S>; and a third part<S>7992</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> behind<S>310</S> the guard<S>7323</S>. So you shall keep<S>8104</S> the watch<S>4931</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and be a barrier<S>4535</S>.


text:
The two<S>8147</S> companies<S>3027</S> of you<S>3318</S>, even all who go out on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>, shall keep<S>8104</S> the watch<S>4931</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> around<S>413</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
You shall surround<S>5362</S> the king<S>4428</S>, every<S>5439</S> man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and he who comes<S>935</S> within the ranks<S>7713</S>, let him be slain<S>4191</S>. Be with the king<S>4428</S> when he goes out<S>3318</S>, and when he comes in<S>935</S>."


text:
The captains<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S> did<S>6213</S> according to all that Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded<S>6680</S>; and they took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his men<S>582</S>, those who were to come in<S>935</S> on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>, with those who were to go out<S>3318</S> on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
The priest<S>3548</S> delivered<S>5414</S> to the captains<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S> the spears<S>2595</S> and shields<S>7982</S> that had been king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>'s, which were in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The guard<S>7323</S> stood<S>5975</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, from the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S> to the left<S>8042</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, along by the altar<S>4196</S> and the house<S>1004</S>, around<S>5439</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


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


text:
When Athaliah<S>6271</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the guard<S>7323</S> and of the people<S>5971</S>, she came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>:


text:
and she looked<S>7200</S>, and behold<S>4428</S>, the king stood<S>5975</S> by the pillar<S>5982</S>, as the tradition was<S>8269</S>, and the captains and the trumpets<S>2689</S> by the king<S>4428</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8056</S>, and blew<S>8628</S> trumpets<S>2689</S>. Then Athaliah<S>6271</S> tore<S>7167</S> her clothes<S>899</S>, and cried<S>7121</S>, "Treason<S>7195</S>! Treason<S>7195</S>!"


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> who<S>6485</S> were set over the army<S>2428</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3318</S>, "Bring her out between<S>1004</S> the ranks<S>7713</S>. Kill<S>4191</S> him who follows<S>935</S> her with the sword<S>2719</S>." For the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, "Don<S>4191</S>'t let her be slain in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
So they made<S>7760</S> way<S>3027</S> for her<S>935</S>; and she went by the way<S>1870</S> of the horses<S>5483</S>' entry<S>3996</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>. She was slain there<S>4191</S>.


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> between Yahweh<S>3068</S> and the king<S>4428</S> and the people<S>5971</S>, that they should be Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S>; between the king<S>4428</S> also and the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
All the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> went<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke it down<S>5422</S>; his altars<S>4196</S> and his images<S>6754</S> broke they in pieces<S>7665</S> thoroughly<S>3190</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> Mattan<S>4977</S> the priest<S>3548</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> before<S>6440</S> the altars<S>4196</S>. The priest<S>3548</S> appointed<S>7760</S> officers<S>6485</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He took<S>3947</S> the captains<S>3746</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S>, and the Carites<S>3746</S>, and the guard<S>7323</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>; and they brought down<S>3381</S> the king<S>4428</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and came<S>935</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the guard<S>7323</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>. He sat<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
So all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>. Athaliah<S>6271</S> they had slain<S>4191</S> with the sword<S>2719</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Jehoash<S>3060</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> began Jehoash<S>3060</S> to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zibiah<S>6645</S> of Beersheba<S>884</S>.

Jehoash<S>3060</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> all his days<S>3117</S> in which Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> instructed him<S>3384</S>.


text:
However the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>; the people<S>5971</S> still sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
Jehoash<S>3060</S> said<S>559</S> to the priests<S>3548</S>, "All the money<S>3701</S> of the holy things<S>6944</S> that is brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, in current<S>5674</S> money<S>3701</S>, the money<S>3701</S> of the persons<S>376</S> for whom each<S>376</S> man<S>5315</S> is rated<S>3701</S>, and all the money that it comes<S>5927</S> into any man<S>376</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> to bring<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
let the priests<S>3548</S> take<S>3947</S> it to them<S>376</S>, every man from his acquaintance<S>4378</S>; and they shall repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, wherever any breach<S>919</S> shall be found<S>4672</S>."


text:
But it was so<S>7969</S>, that in the three and twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> the priests<S>3548</S> had not repaired<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> called<S>7121</S> for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and for the other priests<S>3548</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>2388</S>, "Why don't you repair the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>? Now therefore take<S>3947</S> no more money<S>3701</S> from your treasurers<S>4378</S>, but deliver<S>5414</S> it for the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>."


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> consented<S>225</S> that they should take<S>3947</S> no<S>1115</S> more money<S>3701</S> from the people<S>5971</S>, neither<S>1115</S> repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> chest<S>727</S>, and bored<S>5344</S> a hole<S>2356</S> in its lid<S>1817</S>, and set<S>5414</S> it beside<S>681</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, on the right side<S>3225</S> as one<S>376</S> comes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and the priests<S>3548</S> who kept<S>8104</S> the threshold<S>5592</S> put<S>5414</S> therein all the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
It was so<S>7200</S>, when they saw that there was much<S>7227</S> money<S>3701</S> in the chest<S>727</S>, that the king<S>4428</S>'s scribe<S>5608</S> and the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and they put up in bags<S>6696</S> and counted<S>4487</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
They gave<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was weighed<S>8505</S> out into the hands<S>3027</S> of those who did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S>, who had the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and they paid it out<S>3318</S> to the carpenters<S>2796</S> and the builders<S>1129</S>, who worked<S>6213</S> on the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
and to the masons<S>1443</S> and the stone<S>68</S> cutters<S>2672</S>, and for buying<S>7069</S> timber<S>6086</S> and cut<S>4274</S> stone<S>68</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and for all that was laid out<S>3318</S> for the house<S>1004</S> to repair it<S>2394</S>.


text:
But there were not made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> cups<S>5592</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, snuffers<S>4212</S>, basins<S>4219</S>, trumpets<S>2689</S>, any vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, or vessels<S>3627</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, of the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>;


text:
for they gave<S>5414</S> that to those who did the work<S>4399</S>, and repaired<S>2388</S> therewith the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Moreover they didn<S>2803</S>'t demand an accounting from the men<S>582</S> into whose hand<S>3027</S> they delivered<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> to give<S>5414</S> to those who did the work<S>4399</S>; for they dealt<S>6213</S> faithfully<S>530</S>.


text:
The money<S>3701</S> for the trespass<S>817</S> offerings<S>3701</S>, and the money for the sin<S>2403</S> offerings<S>935</S>, was not brought into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: it was the priests<S>3548</S>'.


text:
Then Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against Gath<S>1661</S>, and took<S>3920</S> it<S>2371</S>; and Hazael set<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> to go up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Jehoash<S>3060</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3947</S> all the holy things<S>6944</S> that Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and Jehoram<S>3088</S> and Ahaziah<S>274</S>, his fathers<S>1</S>, kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, had dedicated<S>6942</S>, and his own holy things<S>6944</S>, and all the gold<S>2091</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it to Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>: and he went away<S>5927</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Joash<S>3101</S> at the house<S>1004</S> of Millo<S>4407</S>, on the way that goes down<S>3381</S> to Silla<S>5538</S>.

For Jozacar<S>3108</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeath<S>8100</S>, and Jehozabad<S>3075</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shomer<S>7763</S>, his servants<S>5650</S>, struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and he died; and they buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Amaziah<S>558</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.

In the three<S>7969</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> for seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>; he didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from it.


text:
The anger<S>639</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of Benhadad<S>1130</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S>, continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> begged<S>2470</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and Yahweh<S>3068</S> listened<S>8085</S> to<S>6440</S> him<S>7200</S>; for he saw the oppression<S>3906</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, how that the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> oppressed them<S>3905</S>.


text:
(Yahweh<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> a savior<S>3467</S>, so that they went out<S>3318</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lived<S>3427</S> in their tents<S>168</S> as before<S>8032</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from the sins<S>2403</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, but walked<S>1980</S> therein<S>5975</S>: and there remained the Asherah<S>842</S> also in Samaria<S>8111</S>.)


text:
For he didn<S>7604</S>'t leave to Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> of the people<S>5971</S> any more than fifty<S>2572</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>; for the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> destroyed<S>6</S> them<S>7760</S>, and made them like the dust<S>6083</S> in threshing<S>1758</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

Joash<S>3101</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> sat<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>: and Joash<S>3101</S> was buried<S>6912</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> with the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now Elisha<S>477</S> was fallen sick<S>2470</S> of his sickness<S>2483</S> of which he died<S>4191</S>: and Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came down<S>3381</S> to him<S>1058</S>, and wept over him<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "My father<S>1</S>, my father<S>1</S>, the chariots<S>7393</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and its horsemen<S>6571</S>!"


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3947</S>, "Take bow<S>7198</S> and arrows<S>2671</S>;" and he took<S>3947</S> to him bow<S>7198</S> and arrows<S>2671</S>.

He said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Put<S>7392</S> your hand<S>3027</S> on the bow<S>7198</S>;" and he put<S>7392</S> his hand<S>3027</S> on it<S>477</S>. Elisha laid<S>7760</S> his hands<S>3027</S> on the king<S>4428</S>'s hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Open<S>6605</S> the window<S>2474</S> eastward<S>6924</S>;" and he opened<S>6605</S> it<S>477</S>. Then Elisha said<S>559</S>, "Shoot<S>3384</S>!" and he shot<S>3384</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s arrow<S>2671</S> of victory<S>8668</S>, even the arrow<S>2671</S> of victory<S>8668</S> over Syria<S>758</S>; for you shall strike<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>, until you have consumed them<S>3615</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>;" and he took<S>3947</S> them<S>559</S>. He said to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Strike<S>5221</S> the ground<S>776</S>;" and he struck<S>5221</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>5975</S>, and stopped.


text:
The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> was angry<S>7107</S> with him<S>559</S>, and said, "You should have struck<S>5221</S> five<S>2568</S> or six<S>8337</S> times<S>6471</S>. Then you would have struck<S>5221</S> Syria<S>758</S> until you had consumed<S>3615</S> it<S>5221</S>, whereas now you shall strike Syria<S>758</S> just three times<S>7969</S>."

Elisha<S>477</S> died<S>4191</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him<S>1416</S>. Now the bands of the Moabites<S>4124</S> invaded<S>935</S> the land<S>776</S> at the coming in<S>935</S> of the year<S>8141</S>.

It happened<S>6912</S>, as they were burying a man<S>376</S>, that behold<S>7200</S>, they spied a band<S>1416</S>; and they cast<S>7993</S> the man<S>376</S> into the tomb<S>6913</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>: and as soon<S>3212</S> as the man<S>376</S> touched<S>5060</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>, he revived<S>2421</S>, and stood up<S>6965</S> on his feet<S>7272</S>.

Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> oppressed<S>3905</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>.


text:
But Yahweh<S>3068</S> was gracious<S>2603</S> to them<S>7355</S>, and had compassion on them<S>6437</S>, and had respect to them<S>4616</S>, because of his covenant<S>1285</S> with Abraham<S>85</S>, Isaac<S>3327</S>, and Jacob<S>3290</S>, and would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> them<S>7993</S>, neither cast he them from his presence<S>6440</S> as yet<S>5704</S>.

However the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: the people<S>5971</S> still<S>5750</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>.

It happened<S>4467</S>, as soon as the kingdom was established<S>2388</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, that he killed<S>5221</S> his servants<S>5650</S> who had slain<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> his father<S>1</S>:

but the children<S>1121</S> of the murderers<S>5221</S> he didn<S>4191</S>'t put to death; according to that which is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The fathers<S>1</S> shall not be put to death<S>4191</S> for the children<S>1121</S>, nor the children<S>1121</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> for the fathers<S>1</S>; but every man<S>376</S> shall die<S>4191</S> for his own sin<S>2399</S>."

He killed<S>5221</S> of Edom<S>123</S> in the Valley<S>1516</S> of Salt<S>4417</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and took<S>8610</S> Sela<S>5554</S> by war<S>4421</S>, and called<S>7121</S> its name<S>8034</S> Joktheel<S>3371</S>, to this day<S>3117</S>.

Then Amaziah<S>558</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Jehoash<S>3060</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, let us look<S>7200</S> one another in the face<S>6440</S>."

Jehoash<S>3060</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The thistle<S>2336</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the cedar<S>730</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>5414</S> 'Give your daughter<S>1323</S> to my son<S>1121</S> as wife<S>802</S>.

You have indeed<S>5221</S> struck<S>5221</S> Edom<S>123</S>, and your heart<S>3820</S> has lifted you up<S>5375</S>.

But Amaziah<S>558</S> would not listen<S>8085</S>.

In the days<S>3117</S> of Pekah<S>6492</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> Tiglath Pileser<S>8407</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and took<S>3947</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Abel Beth Maacah<S>62</S>, and Janoah<S>3239</S>, and Kedesh<S>6943</S>, and Hazor<S>2674</S>, and Gilead<S>1568</S>, and Galilee<S>1551</S>, all the land<S>776</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>; and he carried them captive<S>1540</S> to Assyria<S>804</S>.

Hoshea<S>1954</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S> against Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his place<S>6242</S>, in the twentieth year<S>8141</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Uzziah<S>5818</S>.

In the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> began Jotham<S>3147</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Uzziah<S>5818</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
He was twenty<S>6242</S> - 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> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jerusha<S>3388</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; he did<S>6213</S> according to all that his father<S>1</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
However the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: the people<S>5971</S> still sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burned incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>. He built<S>1129</S> the upper<S>5945</S> gate<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

In those days<S>3117</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> to send<S>7971</S> against Judah<S>3063</S> Rezin<S>7526</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S>.


text:
Jotham<S>3147</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 Ahaz<S>271</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the seventeenth<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
Twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaz<S>271</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he didn<S>6213</S>'t do that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, like David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.

But he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, yes<S>1121</S>, and made his son to pass through<S>5674</S> the fire<S>784</S>, according to the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>, whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then Rezin<S>7526</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> and Pekah<S>6492</S> son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to war<S>4421</S>: and they besieged<S>6696</S> Ahaz<S>271</S>, but could<S>3201</S> not overcome him<S>3898</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Rezin<S>7526</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> recovered<S>7725</S> Elath<S>359</S> to Syria<S>758</S>, and drove<S>5394</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> from Elath<S>359</S>; and the Syrians<S>726</S> came<S>935</S> to Elath<S>359</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> there<S>3117</S>, to this day.


text:
So Ahaz<S>271</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Tiglath Pileser<S>8407</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "I am your servant<S>5650</S> and your son<S>1121</S>. Come up<S>5927</S>, and save<S>3467</S> me out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who rise up against me<S>6965</S>."


text:
Ahaz<S>271</S> took<S>3947</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and in the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it for a present<S>7810</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> listened<S>8085</S> to him<S>4428</S>; and the king of Assyria<S>804</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Damascus<S>1834</S>, and took<S>8610</S> it<S>1540</S>, and carried its people captive to Kir<S>7024</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> Rezin<S>7526</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> went<S>3212</S> to Damascus<S>1834</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Tiglath Pileser<S>8407</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the altar<S>4196</S> that was at Damascus<S>1834</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> the fashion<S>1823</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>, and its pattern<S>8403</S>, according to all its workmanship<S>4639</S>.


text:
Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S>: according to all that king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> had sent<S>7971</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>, so Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> made<S>6213</S> it for the coming<S>935</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>.


text:
When the king<S>4428</S> had come<S>935</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>, the king<S>4428</S> saw<S>7200</S> the altar<S>4196</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> drew near<S>7126</S> to the altar<S>4196</S>, and offered on it<S>5927</S>.


text:
He burnt<S>6999</S> his burnt offering<S>5930</S> and his meal offering<S>4503</S>, and poured<S>5258</S> his drink offering<S>5262</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of his peace offerings<S>8002</S>, on the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
The bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S>, which was before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he brought<S>7126</S> from the forefront<S>6440</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, from between his altar<S>4196</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and put<S>5414</S> it on the north<S>6828</S> side<S>3409</S> of his altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "On the great<S>1419</S> altar<S>4196</S> burn<S>6999</S> the morning<S>1242</S> burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and the evening<S>6153</S> meal offering<S>4503</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and his meal offering<S>4503</S>, with the burnt offering<S>5930</S> of all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and their meal offering<S>4503</S>, and their drink offerings<S>5262</S>; and sprinkle<S>2236</S> on it all the blood<S>1818</S> of the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and all the blood<S>1818</S> of the sacrifice<S>2077</S>; but the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> shall be for me to inquire by<S>1239</S>."


text:
Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> did<S>6213</S> so<S>4428</S>, according to all that king Ahaz<S>271</S> commanded<S>6680</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> cut off<S>7112</S> the panels<S>4526</S> of the bases<S>4350</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> the basin<S>3595</S> from off them<S>3381</S>, and took down the sea<S>3220</S> from off the bronze<S>5178</S> oxen<S>1241</S> that were under it<S>5414</S>, and put it on a pavement<S>4837</S> of stone<S>68</S>.


text:
The covered<S>4329</S> way for the Sabbath<S>7676</S> that they had built<S>1129</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s entry<S>3996</S> outside<S>2435</S>, turned<S>5437</S> he to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, because<S>6440</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
Ahaz<S>271</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>: and Hezekiah<S>2396</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


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


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, yet not as the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
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 brought<S>7725</S> him tribute<S>4503</S>.


text:
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 offered<S>5927</S> no tribute<S>4503</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, as he had done 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>.


text:
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>.


text:
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> to Assyria<S>804</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> them in Halah<S>2477</S>, and on the Habor<S>2249</S>, the river<S>5104</S> of Gozan<S>1470</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Medes<S>4074</S>.


text:
It was so<S>1121</S>, because the children of Israel<S>3478</S> had sinned<S>2398</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who brought them up<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>,


text:
and walked<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>, whom Yahweh<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 made<S>6213</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did secretly<S>2644</S> things<S>1697</S> that were not right against Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>: and they built<S>1129</S> them 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>;


text:
and they set them up<S>5324</S> pillars<S>4676</S> and Asherim<S>842</S> on every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>;


text:
and there they burnt incense<S>6999</S> in all the high places<S>1116</S>, as did the nations<S>1471</S> whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> carried away<S>1540</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>6213</S>; and they worked wicked<S>7451</S> things<S>1697</S> to provoke Yahweh<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>;


text:
and they served<S>5647</S> idols<S>1544</S>, of which Yahweh<S>3068</S> had said<S>559</S> to them<S>6213</S>, "You shall not do this thing<S>1697</S>."


text:
Yet Yahweh<S>3068</S> testified<S>5749</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, and to Judah<S>3063</S>, by<S>3027</S> every prophet<S>5030</S>, and every seer<S>2374</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Turn<S>7725</S> from your evil<S>7451</S> ways<S>1870</S>, and keep<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and 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>."


text:
Notwithstanding<S>8085</S>, they would not listen, but hardened<S>7185</S> their neck<S>6203</S>, like the neck<S>6203</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, who didn<S>539</S>'t believe in Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
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> to them<S>3212</S>; and they followed vanity<S>1892</S>, and became vain<S>1891</S>, and followed<S>310</S> the nations<S>1471</S> that were around<S>5439</S> them<S>3068</S>, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded<S>6680</S> them that they should not do like them<S>6213</S>.


text:
They forsook<S>5800</S> all the commandments<S>4687</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and made<S>6213</S> them molten images<S>4541</S>, even two<S>8147</S> calves<S>5695</S>, and made<S>6213</S> an Asherah<S>842</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> all the army<S>6635</S> of the sky<S>8064</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>.


text:
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> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Therefore Yahweh<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 only<S>3063</S>.

Also Judah<S>3063</S> didn<S>8104</S>'t keep the commandments<S>4687</S> of Yahweh<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:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> rejected<S>3988</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S> them<S>5414</S>, and delivered 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> Israel<S>3478</S> from following<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and made them sin<S>2398</S> a great<S>1419</S> sin<S>2401</S>.


text:
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 didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from them;


text:
until Yahweh<S>3068</S> removed<S>5493</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of his sight<S>6440</S>, as he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> all his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>. So Israel<S>3478</S> was 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:
The king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> brought<S>935</S> men from Babylon<S>894</S>, and from Cuthah<S>3575</S>, and from Avva<S>5755</S>, and from Hamath<S>2574</S> and Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> them 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 lived<S>3427</S> in the cities of it<S>5892</S>.


text:
So it was<S>8462</S>, at the beginning of their dwelling<S>3427</S> there<S>3372</S>, that they didn't fear Yahweh<S>3068</S>: therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them<S>2026</S>, which killed some 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 you have carried<S>1540</S> away<S>3427</S>, and placed in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, don<S>3045</S>'t know the law<S>4941</S> of the god<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>. Therefore he has sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them<S>4191</S>, and behold, they kill them<S>3045</S>, because they don't know the law<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>, "Carry<S>3212</S> there one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> whom you brought<S>1540</S> from there<S>3212</S>; and let them go and dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>3384</S>, and let him teach them the law<S>4941</S> of the god<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>."


text:
So 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 lived<S>3427</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>, and taught<S>3384</S> them how they should fear<S>3372</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
However every nation<S>1471</S> made<S>6213</S> gods<S>430</S> of their own<S>3240</S>, and put them 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 lived<S>3427</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> made<S>6213</S> Succoth Benoth<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 Avvites<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> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and made<S>6213</S> to them from among themselves<S>7098</S> 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> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their own gods<S>430</S>, after the ways<S>4941</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> from among whom they had been carried away<S>1540</S>.


text:
To this day<S>3117</S> they do<S>6213</S> what they did<S>4941</S> before<S>7223</S>: they don<S>3373</S>'t fear Yahweh<S>3068</S>, neither do<S>6213</S> they follow their statutes<S>2708</S>, or their ordinances<S>4941</S>, or the law<S>8451</S> or the commandment<S>4687</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, whom he named<S>7760</S> Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
with whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> had made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, and commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, "You shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, nor bow<S>7812</S> yourselves to them<S>5647</S>, nor serve them<S>2076</S>, nor sacrifice to them;


text:
but you shall fear<S>3372</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, who brought you up<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 with an outstretched<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>, and you shall bow<S>7812</S> yourselves to him<S>2076</S>, and you shall sacrifice to him.


text:
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<S>8104</S>, you shall observe to do<S>6213</S> forevermore<S>3117</S>. You shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


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


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


text:
However they did not listen<S>8085</S>, but they did<S>6213</S> what they did<S>4941</S> before<S>7223</S>.


text:
So these nations<S>1471</S> feared<S>3373</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their engraved images<S>6456</S>. Their children<S>1121</S> likewise<S>1121</S>, and their children's children<S>1121</S>, as their fathers<S>1</S> did<S>6213</S>, so they do<S>6213</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now it happened 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>, that 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>.


text:
He was twenty<S>6242</S> - 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> - nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Abi<S>21</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>.


text:
He removed<S>5493</S> the high places<S>1116</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> the pillars<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> the Asherah<S>842</S>: and he broke in pieces<S>3807</S> the bronze<S>5178</S> serpent<S>5175</S> that Moses<S>4872</S> had made<S>6213</S>; for in those days<S>3117</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> burned incense<S>6999</S> to it<S>7121</S>; and he called it Nehushtan<S>5180</S>.


text:
He trusted<S>982</S> in Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the 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 among them that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he joined<S>1692</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S>; he didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from following<S>310</S> him<S>8104</S>, but kept his commandments<S>4687</S>, which Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> was with him<S>3318</S>; wherever he went forth he prospered<S>7919</S>: and he rebelled<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and didn<S>5647</S>'t serve him.


text:
He struck<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> 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>.


text:
It happened in the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, which was the seventh<S>7637</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>, that Shalmaneser<S>8022</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Samaria<S>8111</S>, and besieged it<S>6696</S>.


text:
At the end<S>7097</S> of three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> they took<S>3920</S> it<S>8337</S>: in the sixth year<S>8141</S> of Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, which was the ninth<S>8672</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Samaria<S>8111</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> carried Israel<S>3478</S> away<S>1540</S> to Assyria<S>804</S>, and put<S>5148</S> them in Halah<S>2477</S>, and on the Habor<S>2249</S>, the river<S>5104</S> of Gozan<S>1470</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Medes<S>4074</S>,


text:
because they didn<S>8085</S>'t obey the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, but transgressed<S>5674</S> his covenant<S>1285</S>, even all that Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, and would not hear<S>8085</S> it<S>6213</S>, nor do it.


text:
Now in the fourteenth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came up<S>5927</S> against all the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and took them<S>8610</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "I have offended<S>2398</S>; return<S>7725</S> from me<S>5414</S>. That which you put on me<S>5375</S>, I will bear." The king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> appointed<S>7760</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> gave<S>5414</S> him all the silver<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and in the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S>, Hezekiah<S>2396</S> cut off<S>7112</S> the gold from the doors<S>1817</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and from the pillars<S>547</S> which Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had overlaid<S>6823</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> sent<S>7971</S> Tartan<S>8661</S> and Rabsaris<S>7249</S> and Rabshakeh<S>7262</S> from Lachish<S>3923</S> to king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> with a great<S>3515</S> army<S>2426</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. They went up<S>5927</S> and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. When they had come up<S>5927</S>, they came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> by the conduit<S>8585</S> of the upper<S>5945</S> pool<S>1295</S>, which is in the highway<S>4546</S> of the fuller<S>3526</S>'s field<S>7704</S>.


text:
When they had called<S>7121</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, there came out<S>3318</S> to them Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S>, and Shebnah<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>.


text:
Rabshakeh<S>7262</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Say now to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says the great<S>1419</S> king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, "What confidence<S>986</S> is this in which you trust<S>982</S>?


text:
You say<S>559</S> (but they are but vain<S>8193</S> words<S>1697</S>), <S>6098</S> 'There is counsel and strength<S>1369</S> for war<S>4421</S>.' Now on whom do you trust<S>982</S>, that you have rebelled against me<S>4775</S>?


text:
Now<S>982</S>, behold, you trust in the staff<S>4938</S> of this bruised<S>7533</S> reed<S>7070</S>, even in Egypt<S>4714</S>. If a man<S>376</S> leans<S>5564</S> on it<S>935</S>, it will go into his hand<S>3709</S>, and pierce<S>5344</S> it<S>6547</S>. So is Pharaoh king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> to all who trust on him<S>982</S>.


text:
But if you tell<S>559</S> me<S>982</S>, 'We trust in Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>;' isn<S>1116</S>'t that he whose high places and whose altars<S>4196</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> has taken away<S>5493</S>, and has said<S>559</S> to Judah<S>3063</S> and to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, <S>7812</S> 'You shall worship before<S>6440</S> this altar<S>4196</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?'


text:
Now therefore<S>6148</S>, please give pledges to my master<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and I will give<S>5414</S> you two thousand<S>505</S> horses<S>5483</S>, if you are able<S>3201</S> on your part to set<S>5414</S> riders on them<S>7392</S>.


text:
How then can you turn away<S>7725</S> the face<S>6440</S> of one<S>259</S> captain<S>6346</S> of the least<S>6996</S> of my master<S>113</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and put your trust<S>982</S> on Egypt<S>4714</S> for chariots<S>7393</S> and for horsemen<S>6571</S>?


text:
Have I now come up<S>5927</S> without<S>1107</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> against this place<S>4725</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> it<S>3068</S>? Yahweh said<S>559</S> to me<S>5927</S>, 'Go up against this land<S>776</S>, and destroy it<S>7843</S>.'"'"


text:
Then Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and Shebnah<S>7644</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S>, said<S>559</S> to Rabshakeh<S>7262</S>, "Please speak<S>1696</S> to your servants<S>5650</S> in the Syrian language<S>762</S>; for we understand<S>8085</S> it<S>1696</S>. Don't speak with us in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language, in the hearing<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S> who are on the wall<S>2346</S>."


text:
But Rabshakeh<S>7262</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>113</S>, "Has my master sent<S>7971</S> me to your master<S>113</S>, and to you<S>1696</S>, to speak these words<S>1697</S>? Hasn<S>582</S>'t he sent me to the men who sit<S>3427</S> on the wall<S>2346</S>, to eat<S>398</S> their own dung<S>6675</S>, and to drink<S>8354</S> their own water with you<S>7272</S>?"


text:
Then Rabshakeh<S>7262</S> stood<S>5975</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language, and spoke<S>1696</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the great<S>1419</S> king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <S>2396</S> 'Don't let Hezekiah deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>3201</S>; for he will not be able to deliver<S>5337</S> you out of his hand<S>3027</S>.

Neither let Hezekiah<S>2396</S> make you trust<S>982</S> in Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> will surely<S>5337</S> deliver<S>5337</S> us<S>5892</S>, and this city shall not be given<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>."


text:
Don<S>8085</S>'t listen to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>.' For thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, <S>6213</S> 'Make your peace<S>1293</S> with me<S>3318</S>, and come out to me<S>376</S>; and everyone of you eat<S>398</S> of his vine<S>1612</S>, and everyone<S>376</S> of his fig tree<S>8384</S>, and everyone<S>376</S> drink<S>8354</S> the waters<S>4325</S> of his own cistern<S>953</S>;


text:
until I come<S>935</S> and take you away<S>3947</S> to a land<S>776</S> like your own land<S>776</S>, a land<S>776</S> of grain<S>1715</S> and new wine<S>8492</S>, a land<S>776</S> of bread<S>3899</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S>, a land<S>776</S> of olive<S>2132</S> trees<S>3323</S> and of honey<S>1706</S>, that you may live<S>2421</S>, and not die<S>4191</S>. Don<S>8085</S>'t listen to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, when he persuades<S>5496</S> you<S>559</S>, saying, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> will deliver us<S>5337</S>."


text:
Has any<S>376</S> of the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> ever<S>5337</S> delivered<S>5337</S> his land<S>776</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>?


text:
Where are the gods<S>430</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, and of Arpad<S>774</S>? Where are the gods<S>430</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, of Hena<S>2012</S>, and Ivvah<S>5755</S>? Have they delivered<S>5337</S> Samaria<S>8111</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Who are they among all the gods<S>430</S> of the countries<S>776</S>, that have delivered<S>5337</S> their country<S>776</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, that Yahweh<S>3068</S> should deliver<S>5337</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?'"


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> held their peace<S>2790</S>, and answered<S>6030</S> him not a word<S>1697</S>; for the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>4687</S> was<S>559</S>, "Don<S>6030</S>'t answer him."


text:
Then Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S>, came<S>935</S> with Shebna<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>, to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> with their clothes<S>899</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him the words<S>1697</S> of Rabshakeh<S>7262</S>.


text:
It happened<S>4428</S>, when king Hezekiah<S>2396</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>7167</S>, that he tore his clothes<S>899</S>, and covered<S>3680</S> himself with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> Eliakim<S>471</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S>, and Shebna<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, covered<S>3680</S> with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, to Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>.


text:
They said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, <S>3117</S> 'This day is a day<S>3117</S> of trouble<S>6869</S>, of rebuke<S>8433</S>, and of rejection<S>5007</S>; for the children<S>1121</S> have come<S>935</S> to the point of birth<S>4866</S>, and there is no strength<S>3581</S> to deliver them<S>3205</S>.


text:
It may be<S>194</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> will hear<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of Rabshakeh<S>7262</S>, whom the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> his master<S>113</S> has sent<S>7971</S> to defy<S>2778</S> the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>, and will rebuke<S>3198</S> the words<S>1697</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> has heard<S>8085</S>. Therefore lift up<S>5375</S> your prayer<S>8605</S> for the remnant<S>7611</S> that is left<S>4672</S>.'"


text:
So the servants<S>5650</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> came<S>935</S> to Isaiah<S>3470</S>.


text:
290<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Thus you shall tell your master<S>113</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "Don<S>3372</S>'t be afraid of<S>6440</S> the words<S>1697</S> that you have heard<S>8085</S>, with which the servants<S>5288</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have blasphemed me<S>1442</S>.


text:
Behold<S>5414</S>, I will put a spirit<S>7307</S> in him<S>8085</S>, and he will hear news<S>8052</S>, and will return<S>7725</S> to his own land<S>776</S>. I will cause him to fall<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S> in his own land<S>776</S>."'"


text:
So Rabshakeh<S>7262</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and found<S>4672</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> warring<S>3898</S> against Libnah<S>3841</S>; for he had heard<S>8085</S> that he had departed<S>5265</S> from Lachish<S>3923</S>.


text:
When he heard<S>8085</S> it said<S>559</S> of Tirhakah<S>8640</S> king<S>4428</S> of Ethiopia<S>3568</S>, "Behold<S>3318</S>, he has come out to fight<S>3898</S> against you<S>7971</S>, he sent messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>7725</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
<S>559</S> 'Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Don<S>430</S>'t let your God in whom you trust<S>982</S> deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>559</S>, saying, Jerusalem<S>3389</S> will not be given<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8085</S>, you have heard what the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have done<S>6213</S> to all lands<S>776</S>, by destroying them utterly<S>2763</S>. Will you be delivered<S>5337</S>?


text:
Have the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> delivered<S>5337</S> them<S>1</S>, which my fathers have destroyed<S>7843</S>, Gozan<S>1470</S>, and Haran<S>2771</S>, and Rezeph<S>7530</S>, and the children<S>1121</S> of Eden<S>5729</S> that were in Telassar<S>8515</S>?

Where is the king<S>4428</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Arpad<S>774</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, of Hena<S>2012</S>, and Ivvah<S>5755</S>?"'"


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> received<S>3947</S> the letter<S>5612</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of the messengers<S>4397</S>, and read<S>7121</S> it<S>2396</S>. Then Hezekiah went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and spread<S>6566</S> it before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> prayed<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who sit<S>3427</S> above the cherubim<S>3742</S>, you are the God<S>430</S>, even you alone<S>4467</S>, of all the kingdoms of the earth<S>776</S>.

Incline<S>5186</S> your ear<S>241</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and hear<S>8085</S>. Open<S>6491</S> your eyes<S>5869</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and see<S>7200</S>. Hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Sennacherib<S>5576</S>, with which he has sent<S>7971</S> to defy<S>2778</S> the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
Truly<S>551</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have laid waste<S>2717</S> the nations<S>1471</S> and their lands<S>776</S>,


text:
and have cast<S>5414</S> their gods<S>430</S> into the fire<S>784</S>; for they were no gods<S>430</S>, but the work<S>4639</S> of men<S>120</S>'s hands<S>3027</S>, wood<S>6086</S> and stone<S>68</S>. Therefore they have destroyed them<S>6</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, Yahweh our God<S>430</S>, save<S>3467</S> us<S>3027</S>, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that you<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, are God alone<S>430</S>."


text:
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 says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <S>6419</S> 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, I have heard you<S>8085</S>.

This is the word<S>1697</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> concerning him<S>1330</S>: "The virgin daughter<S>1323</S> of Zion<S>6726</S> has despised<S>959</S> you and ridiculed<S>3932</S> you<S>1323</S>.

Whom have you defied<S>2778</S> and blasphemed<S>1442</S>? Against whom have you exalted<S>7311</S> your voice<S>6963</S> and lifted up<S>5375</S> your eyes<S>5869</S> on high<S>4791</S>? Against the Holy<S>6918</S> One of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
By<S>3027</S> your messengers<S>4397</S> you have defied<S>2778</S> the Lord<S>136</S>, and have said<S>559</S>, <S>7230</S> 'With the multitude of my chariots<S>7393</S>, I have come up<S>5927</S> to the height<S>4791</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>, to the innermost parts<S>3411</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>; and I will cut down<S>3772</S> its tall<S>6967</S> cedars<S>730</S>, and its choice<S>4004</S> fir trees<S>1265</S>; and I will enter<S>935</S> into his farthest<S>7093</S> lodging<S>4411</S> place<S>3293</S>, the forest of his fruitful field<S>3760</S>.


text:
I have dug<S>6979</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> strange<S>2114</S> waters<S>4325</S>, and with the sole<S>3709</S> of my feet<S>6471</S> will I dry<S>2717</S> up all the rivers<S>2975</S> of Egypt<S>4693</S>.'


text:
Haven<S>8085</S>'t you heard how I have done<S>6213</S> it long ago<S>7350</S>, and formed<S>3335</S> it of ancient<S>6924</S> times<S>3117</S>? Now have I brought<S>935</S> it to pass<S>7582</S>, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> into ruinous<S>5327</S> heaps<S>1530</S>.


text:
Therefore their inhabitants<S>3427</S> were of small<S>7116</S> power<S>3027</S>. They were dismayed<S>2865</S> and confounded<S>954</S>. They were like the grass<S>6212</S> of the field<S>7704</S>, and like the green<S>3419</S> herb<S>1877</S>, like the grass<S>2682</S> on the housetops<S>1406</S>, and like grain blasted<S>7711</S> before<S>6440</S> it has grown up<S>7054</S>.


text:
But I know<S>3045</S> your sitting<S>3427</S> down<S>3318</S>, and your going out, and your coming in<S>935</S>, and your raging against me<S>7264</S>.


text:
Because of your raging<S>7264</S> against me<S>7600</S>, and because your arrogance has come up<S>5927</S> into my ears<S>241</S>, therefore will I put<S>7760</S> my hook<S>2397</S> in your nose<S>639</S>, and my bridle<S>4964</S> in your lips<S>8193</S>, and I will turn you back<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> by which you came<S>935</S>."

<S>226</S>"'This shall be the sign to you<S>398</S>: You shall eat this year<S>8141</S> that which grows<S>5599</S> of itself<S>8145</S>, and in the second year<S>8141</S> that which springs<S>7823</S> of the same<S>7992</S>; and in the third year<S>8141</S> sow<S>2232</S>, and reap<S>7114</S>, and plant<S>5193</S> vineyards<S>3754</S>, and eat<S>398</S> its fruit<S>6529</S>.

The remnant<S>7604</S> that has escaped<S>6413</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> shall again<S>3254</S> take root<S>8328</S> downward<S>4295</S>, and bear<S>6213</S> fruit<S>6529</S> upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
For out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> a remnant<S>7611</S> will go out<S>3318</S>, and out of Mount<S>2022</S> Zion<S>6726</S> those who shall escape<S>6413</S>. The zeal<S>7068</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> will perform this<S>6213</S>.'


text:
"Therefore thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> concerning the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, <S>935</S> 'He shall not come to this city<S>5892</S>, nor shoot<S>3384</S> an arrow<S>2671</S> there<S>6923</S>, neither shall he come before it with shield<S>4043</S>, nor cast<S>8210</S> up a mound against it<S>5550</S>.


text:
By the way<S>1870</S> that he came<S>935</S>, by the same shall he return<S>7725</S>, and he shall not come<S>935</S> to this city<S>5892</S>,' says<S>5002</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
<S>1598</S> 'For I will defend this city<S>5892</S> to save<S>3467</S> it<S>5650</S>, for my own sake, and for my servant David<S>1732</S>'s sake.'"


text:
It happened that night<S>3915</S>, that the angel<S>4397</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> - five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Assyrians<S>804</S>. When men arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>7925</S>, behold<S>4191</S>, these were all dead bodies<S>6297</S>.


text:
So Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> departed<S>5265</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and returned<S>7725</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> at Nineveh<S>5210</S>.


text:
It happened<S>7812</S>, as he was worshipping in the house<S>1004</S> of Nisroch<S>5268</S> his god<S>430</S>, that Adrammelech<S>152</S> and Sharezer<S>8272, 1121</S> struck<S>5221</S> him with the sword<S>2719</S>; and they escaped<S>4422</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Ararat<S>780</S>. Esar Haddon<S>634</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3068</S>, when Yahweh would take up<S>5927</S> Elijah<S>452</S> by a whirlwind<S>5591</S> into heaven<S>8064</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> with Elisha<S>477</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, "Please wait<S>3427</S> here<S>3068</S>, for Yahweh has sent<S>7971</S> me as far as Bethel<S>1008</S>." Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>3381</S>." So they went down to Bethel<S>1008</S>.


text:
The sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who were at Bethel<S>1008</S> came out<S>3318</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>3045</S>, "Do you know that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> your master<S>113</S> from your head<S>7218</S> today<S>3117</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "Yes<S>3045</S>, I know it<S>2814</S>; hold your peace."


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>477</S>, "Elisha, please wait<S>3427</S> here<S>3068</S>, for Yahweh has sent<S>7971</S> me to Jericho<S>3405</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>935</S>." So they came to Jericho<S>3405</S>.


text:
The sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who were at Jericho<S>3405</S> came<S>5066</S> near to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>3045</S>, "Do you know that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> your master<S>113</S> from your head<S>7218</S> today<S>3117</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "Yes<S>3045</S>, I know it<S>2814</S>. Hold your peace."

Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3427</S>, "Please wait here<S>3068</S>, for Yahweh has sent<S>7971</S> me to the Jordan<S>3383</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>8147</S>." They both went on<S>3212</S>.


text:
Fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> went<S>1980</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> opposite<S>5048</S> them at a distance<S>7350</S>; and they both<S>8147</S> stood<S>5975</S> by the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> his mantle<S>155</S>, and wrapped it together<S>1563</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, and they were divided<S>2673</S> here and there<S>8147</S>, so that they two went over<S>5674</S> on dry ground<S>2724</S>.


text:
It happened<S>5674</S>, when they had gone over, 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 you<S>3947</S>, before I am taken from you<S>477</S>." Elisha said<S>559</S>, "Please let a double<S>8147</S> portion<S>6310</S> of your spirit be on me<S>7307</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "You have asked<S>7592</S> a hard thing<S>7185</S>. If you see<S>7200</S> me when I am taken from you<S>3947</S>, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."


text:
It happened<S>1980</S>, as they still went on<S>1980</S>, and talked<S>1696</S>, that behold<S>7393</S>, a chariot of fire<S>784</S> and horses<S>5483</S> of fire<S>784</S> 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:
Elisha<S>477</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>6817</S>, and he cried, "My father<S>1</S>, my father<S>1</S>, the chariots<S>7393</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and its horsemen<S>6571</S>!" He saw<S>7200</S> him no more<S>2388</S>: and he took hold 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<S>7725</S>, and went back, and stood<S>5975</S> by the bank<S>8193</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


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


text:
When the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> who were at Jericho<S>3405</S> over against him saw<S>7200</S> him<S>559</S>, they said, "The spirit<S>7307</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> rests<S>5117</S> on Elisha<S>477</S>." They came<S>935</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>7812</S>, and bowed themselves to the ground before him<S>776</S>.


text:
They said<S>559</S> to him<S>3426</S>, "See now, there are with your servants<S>5650</S> fifty<S>2572</S> strong<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>. Please let them go<S>3212</S> and seek<S>1245</S> your master<S>113</S>. Perhaps the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> has taken him up<S>5375</S>, and put<S>7993</S> him on some<S>259</S> mountain<S>2022</S>, or into some<S>259</S> valley<S>1516</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "You shall not send them<S>7971</S>."


text:
When they urged<S>6484</S> him until he was ashamed<S>954</S>, he said<S>559</S>, "Send<S>7971</S> them<S>7971</S>." They sent therefore fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>; and they searched<S>1245</S> for three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, but didn<S>4672</S>'t find him.


text:
They came back<S>7725</S> to him<S>3427</S>, while he stayed at Jericho<S>3405</S>; and he said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Didn't I tell you<S>3212</S>, 'Don't go?'"


text:
The men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, "Behold<S>4186</S>, please, the situation of this city<S>5892</S> is pleasant<S>2896</S>, as my lord<S>113</S> sees<S>7200</S>; but the water<S>4325</S> is bad<S>7451</S>, and the land<S>776</S> miscarries<S>7921</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Bring<S>3947</S> me a new<S>2319</S> jar<S>6746</S>, and put<S>7760</S> salt<S>4417</S> in it<S>3947</S>." They brought it to him.


text:
He went out<S>3318</S> to the spring<S>4161</S> of the waters<S>4325</S>, and threw<S>7993</S> salt<S>4417</S> into it<S>559</S>, and said, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>7495</S> 'I have healed these waters<S>4325</S>. There shall not be from there any more death<S>4194</S> or miscarrying<S>7921</S>.'"


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


text:
He went up<S>5927</S> from there to Bethel<S>1008</S>. As he was going up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, some<S>6996</S> youths<S>5288</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S> and mocked<S>7046</S> him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>5927</S>, "Go up, you baldy<S>7142</S>! Go up<S>5927</S>, you baldhead<S>7142</S>!"


text:
He looked<S>7200</S> behind<S>310</S> him and saw<S>7200</S> them<S>7043</S>, and cursed them in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Two<S>8147</S> female bears<S>1677</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the woods<S>3293</S>, and mauled<S>1234</S> forty<S>705</S> - two<S>8147</S> of those youths<S>3206</S>.


text:
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:
In those days<S>3117</S> was Hezekiah<S>2396</S> sick<S>2470</S> to death<S>4191</S>. Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>1004</S> 'Set your house in order<S>6680</S>; for you shall die<S>4191</S>, and not live<S>2421</S>.'"


text:
Then he turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> to the wall<S>7023</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Remember<S>2142</S> now<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, I beg<S>577</S> you<S>1980</S>, how I have walked before<S>6440</S> you in truth<S>571</S> and with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>, and have done<S>6213</S> that which is good<S>2896</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>." Hezekiah<S>2396</S> wept<S>1058</S> bitterly<S>1419</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3470</S>, before Isaiah had gone out<S>3318</S> into the middle<S>8484</S> part<S>2691</S> of the city<S>1697</S>, that the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to him<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
"Turn back<S>7725</S>, and tell<S>559</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the prince<S>5057</S> of my people<S>5971</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, "I have heard<S>8085</S> your prayer<S>8605</S>. I have seen<S>7200</S> your tears<S>1832</S>. Behold<S>7495</S>, I will heal you<S>7992</S>. On the third day<S>3117</S>, you shall go up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
I will add<S>3254</S> to your days<S>3117</S> fifteen<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S>. I will deliver<S>5337</S> you and this city<S>5892</S> out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>. I will defend<S>1598</S> this city<S>5892</S> for my own sake<S>5650</S>, and for my servant David<S>1732</S>'s sake."'"


text:
290<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> a cake<S>1690</S> of figs<S>8384</S>." They took<S>3947</S> and laid<S>7760</S> it on the boil<S>7822</S>, and he recovered<S>2421</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> said<S>559</S> to Isaiah<S>3470</S>, "What shall be the sign<S>226</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will heal<S>7495</S> me<S>5927</S>, and that I shall go up to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>?"


text:
290<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S>, "This shall be the sign<S>226</S> to you from Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will do<S>6213</S> the thing<S>1697</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S>: shall the shadow<S>6738</S> go forward<S>1980</S> ten<S>6235</S> steps<S>4609</S>, or go back<S>7725</S> ten<S>6235</S> steps<S>4609</S>?"


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> answered<S>559</S>, "It is a light thing<S>7043</S> for the shadow<S>6738</S> to go forward<S>5186</S> ten<S>6235</S> steps<S>4609</S>. Nay<S>6738</S>, but let the shadow return<S>7725</S> backward<S>322</S> ten<S>6235</S> steps<S>4609</S>."


text:
290<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> cried<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and he brought<S>7725</S> the shadow<S>6738</S> ten<S>6235</S> steps<S>4609</S> backward<S>322</S>, by<S>4609</S> which it had gone down<S>3381</S> on the dial<S>4609</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Berodach Baladan<S>1081</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Baladan<S>1081</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> and a present<S>4503</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>; for he had heard<S>8085</S> that Hezekiah<S>2396</S> had been sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> listened<S>8085</S> to them<S>7200</S>, and showed them all the house<S>1004</S> of his precious things<S>5238</S>, the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the spices<S>1314</S>, and the precious<S>2896</S> oil<S>8081</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of his armor<S>3627</S>, and all that was found<S>4672</S> in his treasures<S>214</S>: there was nothing<S>1697</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, nor in all his dominion<S>4475</S>, that Hezekiah<S>2396</S> didn<S>7200</S>'t show them.


text:
Then Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>935</S> to king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>582</S>, "What did these men say<S>559</S>? From where<S>370</S> did they come<S>935</S> to you<S>2396</S>?" Hezekiah said<S>559</S>, "They have come<S>935</S> from a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S>, even from Babylon<S>894</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "What have they seen<S>7200</S> in your house<S>1004</S>?" Hezekiah<S>2396</S> answered<S>559</S>, "They have seen<S>7200</S> all that is in my house<S>1004</S>. There is nothing<S>1697</S> among my treasures<S>214</S> that I have not shown them<S>7200</S>."


text:
290<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
<S>3117</S> 'Behold, the days come<S>935</S>, that all that is in your house<S>1004</S>, and that which your fathers<S>1</S> have laid up in store<S>686</S> to this day<S>3117</S>, shall be carried<S>5375</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>. Nothing<S>1697</S> shall be left<S>3498</S>,' says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
<S>1121</S> 'Of your sons who shall issue<S>3318</S> from you<S>3205</S>, whom you shall father, shall they take away<S>3947</S>; and they shall be eunuchs<S>5631</S> in the palace<S>1964</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>.'"


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>2396</S> said<S>559</S> to Isaiah<S>3470</S>, "The word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> which you have spoken<S>1696</S> is good<S>2896</S>." He said<S>559</S> moreover<S>7965</S>, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth<S>571</S> shall be in my days<S>3117</S>?"


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, and how he made<S>6213</S> the pool<S>1295</S>, and the conduit<S>8585</S>, and brought<S>935</S> water<S>4325</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Manasseh<S>4519</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Manasseh<S>4519</S> was twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hephzibah<S>2657</S>.


text:
For he built<S>1129</S> again<S>7725</S> the high places<S>1116</S> which Hezekiah<S>2396</S> his father<S>1</S> had destroyed<S>6</S>; and he reared up<S>6965</S> altars<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S>, and made<S>6213</S> an Asherah<S>842</S>, as did<S>6213</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> all the army<S>6635</S> of the sky<S>8064</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, of which Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "I will put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>."


text:
He made his son<S>1121</S> to pass<S>5674</S> through the fire<S>784</S>, and practiced sorcery<S>6049</S>, and used enchantments<S>5172</S>, and dealt<S>6213</S> with those who had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and with wizards<S>3049</S>: he worked<S>6213</S> much<S>7235</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
He set<S>7760</S> the engraved image<S>6459</S> of Asherah<S>842</S>, that he had made<S>6213</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of which Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> and to Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, "In this house<S>1004</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which I have chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, will I put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> forever<S>5769</S>;


text:
neither will I cause the feet<S>7272</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to wander<S>5110</S> any more<S>3254</S> out of the land<S>127</S> which I gave<S>5414</S> their fathers<S>1</S>, if only they will observe<S>8104</S> to do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>8451</S>, and according to all the law that my servant<S>5650</S> Moses<S>4872</S> commanded them<S>6680</S>."


text:
But they didn<S>8085</S>'t listen: and Manasseh<S>4519</S> seduced<S>8582</S> them to do<S>6213</S> that which is evil<S>7451</S> more than the nations<S>1471</S> did whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> destroyed<S>8045</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Because Manasseh<S>4519</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> has done<S>6213</S> these abominations<S>8441</S>, and has done wickedly<S>7489</S> above all that the Amorites<S>567</S> did<S>6213</S>, who were before<S>6440</S> him<S>3063</S>, and has made Judah also to sin<S>2398</S> with his idols<S>1544</S>;


text:
therefore thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <S>935</S> 'Behold, I bring such evil<S>7451</S> on Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, that whoever hears<S>8085</S> of it<S>8147</S>, both his ears<S>241</S> shall tingle<S>6750</S>.


text:

I will cast off<S>5203</S> the remnant<S>7611</S> of my inheritance<S>5159</S>, and deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S>. They will become a prey<S>957</S> and a spoil<S>4933</S> to all their enemies<S>341</S>;

because they have done<S>6213</S> that which is evil<S>7451</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, and have provoked<S>4480</S> me to anger<S>3707</S>, since the day<S>3117</S> their fathers<S>1</S> came forth<S>3318</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, even to this day<S>3117</S>.'"

Moreover Manasseh<S>4519</S> shed<S>8210</S> innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S> very<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S>, until he had filled<S>4390</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from one end<S>6310</S> to another<S>6310</S>; besides his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Judah<S>3063</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, in doing<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his sin<S>2403</S> that he sinned<S>2398</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?

Amon<S>526</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Meshullemeth<S>4922</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Haruz<S>2743</S> of Jotbah<S>3192</S>.

He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S> did<S>6213</S>.

He walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> that his father<S>1</S> walked in<S>1980</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the idols<S>1544</S> that his father<S>1</S> served<S>5647</S>, and worshiped them<S>7812</S>:

The servants<S>5650</S> of Amon<S>526</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>4428</S>, and put the king to death<S>4191</S> in his own house<S>1004</S>.

But the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> killed<S>5221</S> all those who had conspired<S>7194</S> against king<S>4428</S> Amon<S>526</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> made Josiah<S>2977</S> his son<S>1121</S> king in his place<S>4427</S>.

He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, and didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>.

However there was no accounting made<S>2803</S> with them of the money<S>3701</S> that was delivered<S>5414</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>; for they dealt<S>6213</S> faithfully<S>530</S>."

The the king<S>4428</S> defiled<S>2930</S> the high places<S>1116</S> that were before<S>6440</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which were on the right hand<S>3225</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S> of corruption<S>4889</S>, which Solomon<S>8010</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had built<S>1129</S> for Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and for Chemosh<S>3645</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and for Milcom<S>4445</S> the abomination<S>8441</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
He broke in pieces<S>7665</S> the pillars<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> the Asherim<S>842</S>, and filled<S>4390</S> their places<S>4725</S> with the bones<S>6106</S> of men<S>120</S>.


text:
Moreover the altar<S>4196</S> that was at Bethel<S>1008</S>, and the high place<S>1116</S> which 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>, had made<S>6213</S>, even that altar<S>4196</S> and the high place<S>1116</S> he broke down<S>5422</S>; and he burned<S>8313</S> the high place<S>1116</S> and beat<S>1854</S> it to dust<S>6083</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> the Asherah<S>842</S>.


text:
As Josiah<S>2977</S> turned<S>6437</S> himself<S>7200</S>, he spied the tombs<S>6913</S> that were there in the mountain<S>2022</S>; and he sent<S>7971</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the bones<S>6106</S> out of the tombs<S>6913</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> them on the altar<S>4196</S>, and defiled<S>2930</S> it<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> proclaimed<S>7121</S>, who proclaimed<S>7121</S> these things<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, "What monument<S>6725</S> is that<S>1975</S> which I see<S>7200</S>?" The men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> told<S>559</S> him<S>6913</S>, "It is the tomb of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, who came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>, and proclaimed<S>7121</S> these things<S>1697</S> that you have done<S>6213</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> of Bethel<S>1008</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Let him be<S>3240</S>! Let no man<S>376</S> move<S>5128</S> his bones<S>6106</S>." So they let his bones<S>6106</S> alone<S>4422</S>, with the bones<S>6106</S> of the prophet<S>5030</S> who came out<S>935</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
All the houses<S>1004</S> also of the high places<S>1116</S> that were in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, which the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had made<S>6213</S> to provoke Yahweh to anger<S>3707</S>, Josiah<S>2977</S> took away<S>5493</S>, and did<S>6213</S> to them according to all the acts<S>4639</S> that he had done<S>6213</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>.


text:
He killed<S>2076</S> all the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> that were there<S>4196</S>, on the altars, and burned<S>8313</S> men<S>120</S>'s bones<S>6106</S> on them<S>7725</S>; and he returned to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Keep<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S>."


text:
Surely there was not kept<S>6213</S> such a Passover<S>6453</S> from the days<S>3117</S> of the judges<S>8199</S> who judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, nor in all the days<S>3117</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, nor of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>;


text:
but in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> was this Passover<S>6453</S> kept<S>6213</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Moreover Josiah<S>2977</S> removed<S>1197</S> those who had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the idols<S>8655</S>, and all the abominations<S>1544</S> that were seen<S>7200</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that he might confirm<S>6965</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S> which were written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> that Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Like him was there no king<S>4428</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>7725</S>, who turned to Yahweh<S>3068</S> with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and with all his soul<S>5315</S>, and with all his might<S>3966</S>, according to all the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>; neither after<S>310</S> him arose there any like him<S>6965</S>.


text:
Notwithstanding<S>3068</S>, Yahweh didn<S>7725</S>'t turn from the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his great<S>1419</S> wrath<S>639</S>, with which his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, because of all the provocation<S>3708</S> with which Manasseh<S>4519</S> had provoked him<S>3707</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "I will remove<S>5493</S> Judah<S>3063</S> also out of my sight<S>6440</S>, as I have removed<S>5493</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and I will cast off<S>3988</S> this city<S>5892</S> which I have chosen<S>977</S>, even Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of which I said<S>559</S>, <S>8034</S> 'My name shall be there.'"


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Pharaoh Necoh<S>6549</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> went up<S>5927</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to the river<S>5104</S> Euphrates<S>6578</S>: and king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> him<S>4191</S>; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo<S>4023</S>, when he had seen him<S>7200</S>.


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> carried him in a chariot<S>7392</S> dead<S>4191</S> from Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in his own tomb<S>6900</S>. The people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him<S>4427</S>, and made him king in his father<S>1</S>'s place.


text:
Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hamutal<S>2537</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> of Libnah<S>3841</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that his fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
Pharaoh Necoh<S>6549</S> put him in bonds<S>631</S> at Riblah<S>7247</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, that he might not reign<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and put<S>5414</S> the land<S>776</S> to a tribute<S>6066</S> of one hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Pharaoh Necoh<S>6549</S> made Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> king<S>4427</S> in the place of Josiah<S>2977</S> his father<S>1</S>, and changed<S>5437</S> his name<S>8034</S> to Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>: but he took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> away<S>3947</S>; and he came<S>935</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S>, and died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> gave<S>5414</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> to Pharaoh<S>6547</S>; but he taxed<S>6186</S> the land<S>776</S> to give<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> according to the commandment<S>6310</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>: he exacted<S>5065</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, of everyone<S>376</S> according to his taxation<S>6187</S>, to give<S>5414</S> it to Pharaoh Necoh<S>6549</S>.


text:
Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - 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> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zebidah<S>2080</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Pedaiah<S>6305</S> of Rumah<S>7316</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> became his servant<S>5650</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>: then he turned<S>7725</S> and rebelled against him<S>4775</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> against him bands<S>1416</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the Moabites<S>4124</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them against Judah<S>3063</S> to destroy<S>6</S> it<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Surely at the commandment<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came this on Judah<S>3063</S>, to remove<S>5493</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>, for the sins<S>2403</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, according to all that he did<S>6213</S>,


text:
and also for the innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S> that he shed<S>8210</S>; for he filled<S>4390</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S>: and Yahweh<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not pardon<S>5545</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
So Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> didn<S>3318</S>'t come again<S>3254</S> out of his land<S>776</S> any more<S>4428</S>; for the king of Babylon<S>894</S> had taken<S>3947</S>, from the brook<S>5104</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> to the river<S>5158</S> Euphrates<S>6578</S>, all that pertained to the king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> was eighteen<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Nehushta<S>5179</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Elnathan<S>494</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.

He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> was besieged<S>935</S>.

Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, while his servants<S>5650</S> were besieging it<S>6696</S>;


text:
and Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, he<S>517</S>, and his mother, and his servants<S>5650</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and his officers<S>5631</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> took<S>3947</S> him in the eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
He carried out<S>3318</S> there all the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and cut in pieces<S>7112</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which Solomon<S>8010</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had made<S>6213</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> had said<S>1696</S>.


text:
He carried away<S>1540</S> all Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and all the princes<S>8269</S>, and all the mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, even ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> captives<S>1540</S>, and all the craftsmen<S>2796</S> and the smiths<S>4525</S>; none remained<S>7604</S>, except<S>2108</S> the poorest sort<S>1803</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
He carried away<S>1540</S> Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>; and the king<S>4428</S>'s mother<S>517</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s wives<S>802</S>, and his officers<S>5631</S>, and the chief<S>352</S> men of the land<S>776</S>, carried<S>3212</S> he into captivity<S>1473</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
All the men<S>582</S> of might<S>2428</S>, even seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and the craftsmen<S>2796</S> and the smiths<S>4525</S> one thousand<S>505</S>, all of them strong<S>1368</S> and apt<S>6213</S> for war<S>4421</S>, even them the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> brought<S>935</S> captive<S>1473</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> made Mattaniah<S>4983</S>, Jehoiachin<S>1730</S>'s father's brother, king<S>4427</S> is his place<S>5437</S>, and changed his name<S>8034</S> to Zedekiah<S>6667</S>.


text:
Zedekiah<S>6667</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hamutal<S>2537</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> of Libnah<S>3841</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
For through the anger<S>639</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, it happened in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, until he had cast them out<S>7993</S> from his presence<S>6440</S>. Zedekiah<S>6667</S> rebelled<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
It happened in the ninth<S>8671</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, in the tenth<S>6224</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the tenth<S>6218</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, that Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came<S>935</S>, he and all his army<S>2428</S>, against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against it<S>1129</S>; and they built forts<S>1785</S> against it around it<S>5439</S>.


text:
So the city<S>5892</S> was besieged<S>935</S> to the eleventh<S>6249</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S>.


text:
On the ninth<S>8672</S> day of the fourth month<S>2320</S> the famine<S>7458</S> was severe<S>2388</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, so that there was no bread<S>3899</S> for the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.

Then a breach<S>1234</S> was made in the city<S>5892</S>, and all the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S> fled by night<S>3915</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> between the two walls<S>2346</S>, which was by the king<S>4428</S>'s garden<S>1588</S> (now the Chaldeans<S>3778</S> were against the city<S>5892</S> around<S>5439</S> it<S>3212</S>); and the king went by the way<S>1870</S> of the Arabah<S>6160</S>.


text:
But the army<S>2428</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and overtook<S>5381</S> him in the plains<S>6160</S> of Jericho<S>3405</S>; and all his army<S>2428</S> was scattered from him<S>6327</S>.


text:
Then they took<S>8610</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and carried him up<S>5927</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> to Riblah<S>7247</S>; and they gave<S>1696</S> judgment on him<S>4941</S>.


text:
They killed<S>7819</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Zedekiah<S>6667</S> before his eyes<S>5869</S>, and put out<S>5786</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of Zedekiah<S>6667</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him in fetters<S>5178</S>, and carried<S>935</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Now in the fifth<S>2549</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the seventh<S>7651</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, which was the nineteenth<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, came<S>935</S> Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S>, a servant<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He burnt<S>8313</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and all the houses<S>1004</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, even every great<S>1419</S> house<S>1004</S>, burnt<S>8313</S> he with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
All the army<S>2428</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>, who were with the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S>, broke down<S>5422</S> the walls<S>2346</S> around<S>5439</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> carried away<S>1540</S> captive<S>5307</S> the residue<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>7604</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and those who fell away<S>5307</S>, who fell to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, and the residue<S>3499</S> of the multitude<S>1995</S>.


text:
But the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> left<S>7604</S> some of the poorest<S>1803</S> of the land<S>776</S> to work the vineyards<S>3755</S> and fields<S>3009</S>.


text:
The Chaldeans<S>3778</S> broke up the pillars<S>5982</S> of brass<S>5178</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> and the bases<S>4350</S> and the bronze<S>5178</S> sea<S>3220</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> the brass<S>5178</S> pieces<S>7665</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
They took away<S>3947</S> the pots<S>5518</S>, the shovels<S>3257</S>, the snuffers<S>4212</S>, the spoons<S>3709</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> of brass<S>5178</S> with which they ministered<S>8334</S>.


text:
The captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took away<S>3947</S> the fire pans<S>4289</S>, the basins<S>4219</S>, that which was of gold<S>2091</S>, in gold<S>2091</S>, and that which was of silver<S>3701</S>, in silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
The two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, the one<S>259</S> sea<S>3220</S>, and the bases<S>4350</S>, which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the brass<S>5178</S> of all these vessels<S>3627</S> was without<S>3808</S> weight<S>4948</S>.


text:
The height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> pillar<S>5982</S> was eighteen<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and a capital<S>3805</S> of brass<S>5178</S> was on it<S>6967</S>; and the height of the capital<S>3805</S> was three<S>7969</S> cubits<S>520</S>, with network<S>7639</S> and pomegranates<S>7416</S> on the capital<S>3805</S> around<S>5439</S> it<S>5178</S>, all of brass: and like to these had the second<S>8145</S> pillar<S>5982</S> with network<S>7639</S>.


text:
The captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took<S>3947</S> Seraiah<S>8304</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and Zephaniah<S>6846</S> the second<S>4932</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and the three<S>7969</S> keepers<S>8104</S> of the threshold<S>5592</S>:


text:
and out of the city<S>5892</S> he took<S>3947</S> an<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S> who was set<S>6496</S> over the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>; and five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> of those who saw<S>7200</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>7200</S>, who were found<S>4672</S> in the city<S>5892</S>; and the scribe<S>5608</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, who mustered<S>6633</S> the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>; and sixty<S>8346</S> men<S>376</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, who were found<S>4672</S> in the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took<S>3947</S> them<S>3212</S>, and brought them to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> to Riblah<S>7247</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> struck<S>5221</S> them<S>4191</S>, and put them to death at Riblah<S>7247</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>. So Judah<S>3063</S> was carried away<S>1540</S> captive out of his land<S>127</S>.


text:
As for the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>7604</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, whom Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had left<S>7604</S>, even over them he made Gedaliah<S>1436</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam<S>296</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan<S>8227</S>, governor<S>6485</S>.


text:
Now when all the captains<S>8269</S> of the forces<S>2428</S>, they and their men<S>582</S>, heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had made Gedaliah<S>1436</S> governor<S>6485</S>, they came<S>935</S> to Gedaliah<S>1436</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>, even Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, and Johanan<S>3110</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kareah<S>7143</S>, and Seraiah<S>8304</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tanhumeth<S>8576</S> the Netophathite<S>5200</S>, and Jaazaniah<S>2970</S> the son<S>1121</S> of the Maacathite<S>4602</S>, they and their men<S>582</S>.


text:
Gedaliah<S>1436</S> swore<S>7650</S> to them and to their men<S>582</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3372</S>, "Don't be afraid because of the servants<S>5650</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>. Dwell<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, and it shall be well with you<S>3190</S>."


text:
But it happened in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>, that Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Elishama<S>476</S>, of the royal<S>4410</S> seed<S>2233</S> came<S>935</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>5221</S>, and struck Gedaliah<S>1436</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>, and the Jews<S>3064</S> and the Chaldeans<S>3778</S> that were with him at Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
All the people<S>5971</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the forces<S>2428</S>, arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S>; for they were afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>.


text:
It happened in the thirty<S>7970</S> seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of the captivity<S>1546</S> of Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, in the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the seven<S>7651</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, that Evilmerodach<S>192</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, in the year<S>8141</S> that he began to reign<S>4427</S>, lifted up<S>5375</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> out of prison<S>1004</S>;


text:
and he spoke<S>1696</S> kindly<S>2896</S> to him<S>5414</S>, and set his throne<S>3678</S> above the throne<S>3678</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> who were with him in Babylon<S>894</S>,


text:
and changed<S>8132</S> his prison<S>3608</S> garments<S>899</S>. Jehoiachin ate<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> before<S>6440</S> him continually<S>8548</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>:


text:
and for his allowance<S>737</S>, there was a continual<S>8548</S> allowance<S>737</S> given<S>5414</S> him of the king<S>4428</S>, every<S>3117</S> day<S>3117</S> a portion<S>1697</S>, all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</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> in the eighteenth<S>8083</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> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<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 pillar<S>4676</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> that his father<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
Nevertheless he held<S>1692</S> to the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>; he didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from it.


text:
Now Mesha<S>4338</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> was a sheep breeder<S>5349</S>; and he rendered<S>7725</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> the wool<S>6785</S> of one hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> lambs<S>3733</S>, and of one hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> rams<S>352</S>.


text:
But it happened<S>256</S>, when Ahab 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:
King<S>4428</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> at that time<S>3117</S>, and mustered<S>6485</S> all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
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> has rebelled<S>6586</S> against me<S>3212</S>. Will you go with me against Moab<S>4124</S> to battle<S>4421</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "I will go up<S>5927</S>. I am as you are<S>5971</S>, my people as your people<S>5971</S>, my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses<S>5483</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Which way<S>1870</S> shall we go up<S>5927</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "The way<S>1870</S> of 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>. There was no water<S>4325</S> for the army<S>4264</S>, nor for the animals<S>929</S> that followed them<S>7272</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "Alas<S>162</S>! For Yahweh<S>3068</S> has 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>, "Isn<S>5030</S>'t there here a prophet of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that we may inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> by him<S>259</S>?" One of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S>, <S>559</S> "Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> is here<S>3332</S>, who poured water<S>4325</S> on the hands<S>3027</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>."


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, "The word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> is<S>3426</S> with him<S>4428</S>." So the king of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S> went down to him<S>3381</S>.


text:
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 you<S>3212</S>? Go to the prophets<S>5030</S> of your father<S>1</S>, and to the prophets<S>5030</S> of your mother<S>517</S>." The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3068</S>, "No; for Yahweh has 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:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, surely<S>3884</S>, were it not that I respect<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 you<S>7200</S>, nor see you.


text:
But now bring<S>3947</S> me a minstrel<S>5059</S>." It happened<S>5059</S>, when the minstrel played<S>5059</S>, that the hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh came on him<S>3068</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>6213</S> 'Make this valley<S>5158</S> full of trenches<S>1356</S>.'


text:
For thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>7200</S> 'You will not see wind<S>7307</S>, neither will you see<S>7200</S> rain<S>1653</S>; yet that valley<S>5158</S> shall be filled<S>4390</S> with water<S>4325</S>, and you will drink<S>8354</S>, both you and your livestock<S>4735</S> and your animals<S>929</S>.


text:
This is but a light thing<S>7043</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. He will also deliver<S>5414</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
You shall strike<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 springs<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>.'"


text:
It happened in the morning<S>1242</S>, about the time of offering<S>5927</S> the offering<S>5927</S>, that behold<S>4325</S>, water came<S>935</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:
Now when all the Moabites<S>4124</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> had come up<S>5927</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against them<S>6817</S>, they gathered themselves together<S>2296</S>, all who were able to put on armor<S>2290</S>, and upward<S>4605</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the border<S>1366</S>.


text:
They rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and the sun<S>8121</S> shone<S>2224</S> on the water<S>4325</S>, and the Moabites<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> the water<S>4325</S> over against<S>5048</S> them as red<S>122</S> as blood<S>1818</S>.

They said<S>559</S>, "This is blood<S>1818</S>. The kings<S>4428</S> are surely<S>2717</S> destroyed<S>2717</S>, and they have struck<S>2717</S> each<S>376</S> other<S>7453</S>. Now therefore<S>4124</S>, Moab, to the spoil<S>7998</S>!"


text:
When they came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, the Israelites<S>3478</S> rose up<S>6965</S> and struck<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>, so that they fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>5221</S>; and they went forward into the land smiting<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>.


text:
They beat down<S>2040</S> the cities<S>5892</S>; and on every good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land they cast<S>7993</S> every man<S>376</S> his stone<S>68</S>, and filled<S>4390</S> it<S>5640</S>; and they stopped all the springs<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and felled<S>5307</S> all the good<S>2896</S> trees<S>6086</S>, until in Kir Hareseth<S>7025</S> only they left<S>7604</S> its stones<S>68</S>; however the men<S>7051</S> armed with slings went about<S>5437</S> it<S>5221</S>, and struck it.


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


text:
Then he took<S>3947</S> his eldest<S>1060</S> son<S>1121</S> who would have reigned<S>4427</S> in his place<S>5927</S>, and offered him for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> on the wall<S>2346</S>. There was great<S>1419</S> wrath<S>7110</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and they departed<S>5265</S> from him<S>7725</S>, and returned to their own 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>, "Your servant<S>5650</S> my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>. You know<S>3045</S> that your servant<S>5650</S> feared<S>3373</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Now the creditor<S>5383</S> has come<S>935</S> to take<S>3947</S> for himself my two<S>8147</S> children<S>3206</S> to be slaves<S>5650</S>."


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>6213</S>, "What shall I do for you<S>5046</S>? Tell me<S>3426</S>: what do you have in the house<S>1004</S>?" She said<S>559</S>, "Your handmaid<S>8198</S> has nothing 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> containers<S>3627</S> from of all<S>2351</S> your neighbors<S>7934</S>, even empty<S>7386</S> containers<S>3627</S>. Don<S>4591</S>'t borrow just a few.


text:
You shall go in<S>935</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> on you and on your sons<S>1121</S>, and pour out<S>3332</S> into all those containers<S>3627</S>; and you shall set aside<S>5265</S> that which is full<S>4392</S>."


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


text:
It happened<S>3627</S>, when the containers were full<S>4390</S>, that she said<S>559</S> to her son<S>1121</S>, "Bring<S>5066</S> me another container<S>3627</S>." He said<S>559</S> to her<S>3627</S>, "There isn't another container." The oil<S>8081</S> stopped flowing<S>5975</S>.


text:
Then she came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>, sell<S>4376</S> the oil<S>8081</S>, and pay<S>7999</S> your debt<S>5386</S>; and you and your sons<S>1121</S> live<S>2421</S> on the rest<S>3498</S>."


text:
It fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> passed<S>5674</S> to Shunem<S>7766</S>, where there was a prominent<S>1419</S> woman<S>802</S>; and she persuaded<S>2388</S> him to eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>. So it was<S>1767</S>, that as often as he passed by<S>5674</S>, he turned<S>5493</S> in there to eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S> to her husband<S>376</S>, "See now<S>3045</S>, I perceive that this is a holy<S>6918</S> man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, that passes<S>5674</S> by us continually<S>8548</S>.


text:
Please let us make<S>6213</S> a little<S>6996</S> room<S>5944</S> on the wall<S>7023</S>. Let us set<S>7760</S> for him there a bed<S>4296</S>, a table<S>7979</S>, a chair<S>3678</S>, and a lamp<S>4501</S> stand<S>935</S>. It shall be, when he comes to us<S>5493</S>, that he shall turn in there."


text:
One day<S>3117</S> he came<S>935</S> there<S>5493</S>, and he turned into the room<S>5944</S> and lay there<S>7901</S>.


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


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Say now to her<S>2729</S>, 'Behold, you have cared for us with all this care<S>2731</S>. What is to be done<S>6213</S> for you<S>3426</S>? Would you like to be spoken<S>1696</S> for to the king<S>4428</S>, or to the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>?'" She answered<S>559</S>, "I dwell<S>3427</S> among<S>8432</S> my own people<S>5971</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "What then is to be done<S>6213</S> for her<S>1522</S>?" Gehazi answered<S>559</S>, "Most certainly<S>61</S> she has no son<S>1121</S>, and her husband<S>376</S> is old<S>2204</S>."


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


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "At this season<S>4150</S>, when the time<S>6256</S> comes around<S>2416</S>, you will embrace<S>2263</S> a son<S>1121</S>." She said<S>559</S>, "No<S>113</S>, my lord, you man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, do not lie<S>3576</S> to your handmaid<S>8198</S>."


text:
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>, when the time<S>6256</S> came around<S>2416</S>, as Elisha<S>477</S> had said to her<S>1696</S>.


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


text:
He said<S>559</S> to his father<S>1</S>, "My head<S>7218</S>! My head<S>7218</S>!" He said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, "Carry<S>5375</S> him to his mother<S>517</S>."


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


text:
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> the door on him<S>3318</S>, and went out.


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


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Why would you want go<S>1980</S> to him today<S>3117</S>? It is neither new moon<S>2320</S> nor Sabbath<S>7676</S>." She said<S>559</S>, "It<S>7965</S>'s alright."


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>! Don<S>6113</S>'t slow down<S>7392</S> for me<S>559</S>, unless I ask you to."


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>. It happened<S>376</S>, when the man 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<S>1975</S>, there is the Shunammite<S>7767</S>.


text:
Please run<S>7323</S> now to meet<S>7125</S> her<S>559</S>, and ask her<S>7965</S>, 'Is it well with you<S>7965</S>? Is it well with your husband<S>376</S>? Is it well<S>7965</S> with the child<S>3206</S>?'" She answered<S>559</S>, "It is well<S>7965</S>."


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


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, "Did I desire<S>7592</S> a son<S>1121</S> of my lord<S>113</S>? Didn<S>559</S>'t I say, Do not deceive me<S>7952</S>?"


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S>, "Tuck your cloak<S>4975</S> into your belt<S>2296</S>, take<S>3947</S> my staff<S>4938</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go your way<S>3212</S>. If you meet<S>4672</S> any man<S>376</S>, don<S>1288</S>'t greet him<S>376</S>; and if anyone greets<S>1288</S> you<S>6030</S>, don't answer him again. Then lay<S>7760</S> my staff<S>4938</S> on the face<S>6440</S> of the child<S>5288</S>."


text:
The mother<S>517</S> of the child<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>6965</S>." He arose, and followed her<S>3212</S>.


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


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


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


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


text:
Then he returned<S>7725</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the house<S>1004</S> once back<S>259</S> and forth<S>259</S>; and went up<S>5927</S>, and stretched<S>1457</S> himself on him<S>5288</S>. Then the child 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>.


text:
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<S>935</S>. When she had come in to him<S>559</S>, he said, "Take up<S>5375</S> your 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 she took up<S>5375</S> her son<S>1121</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>.


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> came again<S>7725</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>. There was a famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>; and the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>; and he said 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> stew<S>5138</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>."


text:
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> of 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> them into the pot<S>5518</S> of stew<S>5138</S>; for they didn<S>3045</S>'t recognize them.


text:
So they poured out<S>3332</S> for the men<S>582</S> to eat<S>398</S>. It happened<S>398</S>, as they were eating of the stew<S>5138</S>, that they cried out<S>6817</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, there is death<S>4194</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>!" They could<S>3201</S> not eat of it<S>398</S>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, "Then bring<S>3947</S> meal<S>7058</S>." He cast<S>7993</S> it 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>." There was no harm<S>1697</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>.


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


text:
His servant<S>8334</S> said<S>559</S>, "What<S>5414</S>, should I set this before<S>6440</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>?" But he said<S>559</S>, "Give<S>5414</S> the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>; for thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>398</S> 'They will eat, and will have some left over<S>3498</S>.'"


text:
So he set<S>5414</S> it before<S>6440</S> them<S>398</S>, and they ate, and left<S>3498</S> some of it<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<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 honorable<S>5375</S>, because by him Yahweh<S>3068</S> had given<S>5414</S> victory<S>8668</S> to Syria<S>758</S>: he was also a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, but he was a leper<S>6879</S>.


text:
The Syrians<S>758</S> had gone out<S>3318</S> in bands<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> maiden<S>5291</S>; and she waited on<S>6440</S> Naaman<S>5283</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S> to her mistress<S>1404</S>, "I wish<S>305</S> that my lord<S>113</S> were with<S>6440</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> who is in Samaria<S>8111</S>! Then<S>227</S> he would heal<S>622</S> him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>."


text:
Someone went in<S>935</S>, and told<S>5046</S> his lord<S>113</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The maiden<S>5291</S> who is from the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said this<S>1696</S>."

The king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S>, "Go<S>935</S> now<S>3212</S>, and I will send<S>7971</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>." 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> pieces of gold<S>2091</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> changes<S>2487</S> of clothing<S>899</S>.


text:
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> has come<S>935</S> to you<S>7971</S>, behold, I have sent Naaman<S>5283</S> my servant<S>5650</S> to you<S>622</S>, that you may heal him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>."


text:
It happened<S>4428</S>, when the king 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>, "Am I God<S>430</S>, to kill<S>4191</S> and to make alive<S>2421</S>, that this man<S>2088</S> sends<S>7971</S> to me to heal<S>622</S> a man<S>376</S> of his leprosy<S>6883</S>? But<S>389</S> please consider<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> how he seeks a quarrel against me<S>579</S>."


text:
It was so<S>477</S>, when Elisha the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had torn<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, that he sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Why have you torn<S>7167</S> your clothes<S>899</S>? Let him come<S>935</S> now to me<S>3045</S>, and he shall know 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 chariots<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:
Elisha<S>477</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "Go<S>1980</S> and wash<S>7364</S> in the Jordan<S>3383</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>, and your flesh<S>1320</S> shall come again<S>7725</S> to you<S>2891</S>, and you shall be clean."


text:
But Naaman<S>5283</S> was angry<S>7107</S>, and went away<S>3212</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>559</S>, I thought, <S>3318</S> 'He will surely come out<S>3318</S> to me<S>5975</S>, and stand, and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and wave<S>5130</S> his hand<S>3027</S> over the place<S>4725</S>, and heal<S>622</S> the leper<S>6879</S>.'


text:
Aren<S>71</S>'t Abanah and Pharpar<S>6554</S>, the 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>? Couldn<S>7364</S>'t I wash in them<S>2891</S>, and be clean?" So he turned<S>6437</S> and went away<S>3212</S> in a rage<S>2534</S>.


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said, "My father<S>1</S>, if the prophet<S>5030</S> had asked<S>1696</S> you do some great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, wouldn<S>6213</S>'t you have done it<S>637</S>? How much rather then, when he says<S>559</S> to you<S>7364</S>, 'Wash, and be clean<S>2891</S>?'"


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


text:
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<S>559</S>; and he said, "See now<S>3045</S>, I know that there is no God<S>430</S> in all the earth<S>776</S>, but in Israel<S>3478</S>. Now therefore<S>3947</S>, please take a gift<S>1293</S> from your servant<S>5650</S>."


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will receive<S>3947</S> none<S>6484</S>." He urged him to take<S>3947</S> it<S>3985</S>; but he refused.


text:
Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, "If not<S>6776</S>, then, please let two mules<S>6505</S>' burden<S>4853</S> of earth<S>127</S> be given<S>5414</S> to your servant<S>5650</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> will from now on 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 Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


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


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go in peace<S>7965</S>." So he departed<S>3212</S> from him a little<S>3530</S> way<S>776</S>.


text:
But Gehazi<S>1522</S> the servant<S>5288</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>113</S>, my master has spared<S>2820</S> this Naaman<S>5283</S> the Syrian<S>761</S>, in not receiving<S>3947</S> at his hands<S>3027</S> that which he brought<S>935</S>. As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will run<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>3947</S>, and take something from him<S>3972</S>."


text:
So Gehazi<S>1522</S> followed<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Naaman<S>5283</S>. When Naaman<S>5283</S> saw<S>7200</S> one running<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>, he came down from the chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Is all well<S>7965</S>?"


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


text:
Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, "Be pleased<S>2974</S> to take<S>3947</S> two talents<S>3603</S>." He urged<S>6555</S> him<S>6696</S>, and bound 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 clothing<S>899</S>, and laid<S>5414</S> them on two<S>8147</S> of his servants<S>5288</S>; and they carried<S>5375</S> them before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
When he came<S>935</S> to the hill<S>6076</S>, he took<S>3947</S> them from their hand<S>3027</S>, and stored<S>6485</S> them in the house<S>1004</S>. Then he let the men<S>582</S> go<S>7971</S>, and they departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
But he went in<S>935</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before his master<S>113</S>. Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>370</S>, "Where did you come from<S>1522</S>, Gehazi?" He said<S>559</S>, "Your servant<S>5650</S> went<S>1980</S> nowhere<S>575</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>3820</S>, "Didn't my heart go<S>1980</S> with you<S>376</S>, when the man turned<S>2015</S> from his chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> you<S>6256</S>? Is it a time to receive<S>3947</S> money<S>3701</S>, and to receive<S>3947</S> garments<S>899</S>, and olive<S>2132</S> groves and vineyards<S>3754</S>, and sheep<S>6629</S> and cattle<S>1241</S>, and male servants<S>5650</S> and female servants<S>8198</S>?


text:
Therefore the leprosy<S>6883</S> of Naaman<S>5283</S> will cling<S>1692</S> to you and to your seed<S>2233</S> forever<S>5769</S>." He went out<S>3318</S> from his presence<S>6440</S> a leper<S>6879</S>, as white as snow<S>7950</S>.


text:
The sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> to<S>6440</S> Elisha<S>477</S>, "See now<S>4725</S>, the place where we dwell<S>3427</S> before you is too small for us<S>6862</S>.


text:
Please let us go<S>3212</S> to the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and every man<S>376</S> take<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> beam<S>6982</S> from there<S>6213</S>, and let us make us a place<S>4725</S> there<S>3427</S>, where we may dwell." He answered<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>!"


text:
One<S>259</S> said<S>559</S>, "Please be pleased<S>2974</S> to go<S>3212</S> with your servants<S>5650</S>." He answered<S>559</S>, "I will go<S>3212</S>."


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> with them<S>935</S>. When they came to the 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>. Then he cried<S>6817</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Alas<S>162</S>, my master<S>113</S>! For it was borrowed<S>7592</S>."


text:
The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> asked<S>559</S>, "Where<S>575</S> did it fall<S>5307</S>?" He showed<S>7200</S> him the place<S>4725</S>. He cut down<S>7094</S> a stick<S>6086</S>, threw<S>7993</S> it in there<S>1270</S>, and made the iron float<S>6687</S>.


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


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was warring<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>; and he took counsel<S>3289</S> with his servants<S>5650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "My camp<S>8466</S> will be in such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S>."


text:
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 you not pass<S>5674</S> such<S>2088</S> a place<S>4725</S>; for the Syrians<S>758</S> are coming down there<S>5185</S>."


text:
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<S>8104</S>; and he saved himself there<S>259</S>, not once nor twice<S>8147</S>.


text:
The heart<S>3820</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was very troubled<S>5590</S> about this<S>1697</S>. He called<S>7121</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>5046</S>, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?"


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


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> and see<S>7200</S> where<S>351</S> he is<S>7971</S>, that I may send and get<S>3947</S> him<S>5046</S>." It was told him<S>559</S>, saying, "Behold<S>1886</S>, he is in Dothan."


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


text:
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 out<S>3318</S>, behold<S>2428</S>, an army with horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> was around<S>5437</S> the city<S>5892</S>. His servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>162</S>, "Alas, my master<S>113</S>! What shall we do<S>6213</S>?"


text:
He answered<S>559</S>, "Don<S>3372</S>'t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them<S>7227</S>."


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, please open<S>6491</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, that he may see<S>7200</S>." Yahweh<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<S>2022</S>, the mountain was 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:
When they came down<S>3381</S> to him<S>477</S>, Elisha prayed<S>6419</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Please strike<S>5221</S> this people<S>1471</S> with blindness<S>5575</S>." He struck<S>5221</S> them with blindness<S>5575</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>1870</S>, "This is not the way, neither is this<S>2090</S> the city<S>5892</S>. Follow<S>3212</S> me<S>3212</S>, and I will bring you to the man<S>376</S> whom you seek<S>1245</S>." He led<S>3212</S> them to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
It happened<S>935</S>, when they had come into Samaria<S>8111</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, open<S>6491</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of these men<S>7200</S>, that they may see." Yahweh<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and they saw<S>7200</S>; and behold<S>8432</S>, they were in the midst of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
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<S>1</S>, "My father, shall I strike<S>5221</S> them<S>5221</S>? Shall I strike them?"


text:
He answered<S>559</S>, "You shall not strike<S>5221</S> them<S>5221</S>. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive<S>7617</S> with your sword<S>2719</S> and with your bow<S>7198</S>? Set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>398</S>, that they may eat and drink<S>8354</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>."


text:
He prepared<S>3739</S> great<S>1419</S> feast<S>3740</S> for them<S>398</S>. When they had eaten and drunk<S>8354</S>, he sent them away<S>7971</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>. The bands<S>1416</S> of Syria<S>758</S> stopped<S>3254</S> raiding the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened 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:
There was a great<S>1419</S> famine<S>7458</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Behold<S>6696</S>, they besieged it<S>2543</S>, until a donkey's head<S>7218</S> was sold for eighty<S>8084</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and the fourth part<S>7255</S> of a kab<S>6894</S> of dove<S>3123</S>'s dung for five<S>2568</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>.


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


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "If Yahweh<S>3068</S> doesn<S>3467</S>'t help you<S>370</S>, from where could I help<S>3467</S> you<S>1637</S>? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress<S>3342</S>?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>559</S>, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to me<S>5414</S>, 'Give your son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> him today<S>3117</S>, and we will eat<S>398</S> my son<S>1121</S> tomorrow<S>4279</S>.'

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


text:
It happened<S>4428</S>, when the king heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the woman<S>802</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S> (now he was passing by<S>5674</S> on the wall<S>2346</S>); and the people<S>5971</S> looked<S>7200</S>, and behold<S>8242</S>, he had sackcloth underneath<S>1004</S> on his flesh<S>1320</S>.


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


text:
But Elisha<S>477</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> with him<S>7971</S>. Then the king sent a man<S>376</S> from before<S>6440</S> him<S>4397</S>; but before the messenger came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, he said to the elders<S>2205</S>, "Do you see<S>7200</S> how this son<S>1121</S> of a murderer<S>7523</S> has sent<S>7971</S> to take away<S>5493</S> my head<S>7218</S>? Behold<S>7200</S>, when the messenger<S>4397</S> comes<S>935</S>, shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S>, and hold the door<S>1817</S> shut<S>3905</S> against him<S>6963</S>. Isn't the sound of his master<S>113</S>'s feet<S>7272</S> behind him<S>310</S>?"


text:
While he was still talking<S>1696</S> with them<S>4397</S>, behold, the messenger came down<S>3381</S> to him<S>559</S>. Then he said, "Behold<S>7451</S>, this evil is from Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Why should I wait<S>3176</S> for Yahweh any longer<S>3068</S>?"


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>4279</S> 'Tomorrow about this time<S>6256</S> a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> will be sold for a shekel<S>8255</S>, and two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.'"


text:
Then the captain<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<S>3068</S>, if Yahweh made<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>, could this thing<S>1697</S> be<S>559</S>?" He said, "Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see it with your eyes<S>5869</S>, but shall not eat of it<S>398</S>."


text:
Now 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>. They said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, "Why do we sit<S>3427</S> here until we die<S>4191</S>?


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


text:
They rose up<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>. When they had come<S>935</S> to the outermost part<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, behold<S>376</S>, there was no man 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>, even 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>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king of Israel<S>3478</S> has 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 on us<S>935</S>.


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


text:
When these lepers<S>6879</S> came<S>935</S> to the outermost part<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 drink<S>8354</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> there silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and clothing<S>899</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and hid<S>2934</S> it<S>7725</S>. Then they came back, and entered<S>935</S> into another<S>312</S> tent<S>168</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> there also<S>3212</S>, and went and hid it<S>2934</S>.


text:
Then they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, "We aren<S>6213</S>'t doing right<S>3117</S>. This day is a day<S>3117</S> of good news<S>1309</S>, and we keep silent<S>2814</S>. If we wait<S>2442</S> until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, punishment<S>5771</S> will overtake<S>4672</S> us<S>4672</S>. Now therefore come, let us go<S>3212</S> and tell<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S>."


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> them<S>559</S>, saying, "We came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and<S>376</S>, behold, there was no man there<S>6963</S>, neither voice of man<S>120</S>, but the horses<S>5483</S> tied<S>631</S>, and the donkeys<S>2543</S> tied<S>631</S>, and the tents as they were<S>168</S>."


text:
He called<S>7121</S> the porters<S>7778</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> it to the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S> within<S>6441</S>.


text:
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<S>3045</S>. They know that we are hungry<S>7457</S>. Therefore are they 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>, <S>3318</S> 'When they come out 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:
One<S>259</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S>, <S>559</S> "Please let some take<S>3947</S> five<S>2568</S> of the horses<S>5483</S> that remain<S>7604</S>, which are left<S>7604</S> in the city<S>1995</S>. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel<S>3478</S> who are left<S>7604</S> in it<S>1995</S>. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel<S>3478</S> who are consumed<S>8552</S>. Let us send<S>7971</S> and see<S>7200</S>."


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


text:
They went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> them to the Jordan<S>3383</S>; and behold<S>1870</S>, all the way was 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>. The messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


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


text:
The king<S>4428</S> appointed<S>6485</S> the captain<S>7991</S> on whose hand<S>3027</S> he leaned<S>8172</S> to be in charge of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> trod<S>7429</S> on 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 to him<S>3381</S>.


text:
It happened<S>376</S>, as the man 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 tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>;"


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


text:
It happened like that to him<S>5971</S>; for the people trod<S>7429</S> on him in the gate<S>8179</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
Now Elisha<S>477</S> had spoken<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>, you and your household<S>1004</S>, and stay<S>1481</S> for a while wherever<S>834</S> you can<S>1481</S>; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has called<S>7121</S> for a famine<S>7458</S>. It shall also come<S>935</S> on the land<S>776</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>."


text:
The woman<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>. She went<S>3212</S> with her household<S>1004</S>, and lived<S>1481</S> in the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
It happened at the seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>' end<S>7097</S>, that the woman<S>802</S> returned<S>7725</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. Then she went forth<S>3318</S> to cry<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>.


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


text:
It happened<S>5608</S>, as he was telling the king<S>4428</S> how he had restored<S>2421</S> to life<S>2421</S> him who was dead<S>4191</S>, that behold<S>802</S>, the woman, whose son<S>1121</S> he had restored to life<S>2421</S>, cried<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>. Gehazi<S>1522</S> said<S>559</S>, "My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, this is the woman<S>802</S>, and this is her son<S>1121</S>, whom Elisha<S>477</S> restored to life<S>2421</S>."


text:
When the king<S>4428</S> asked<S>7592</S> the woman<S>802</S>, she told<S>5608</S> him<S>4428</S>. So the king 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 was hers<S>8393</S>, and all the fruits of the field<S>7704</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that she left<S>5800</S> the land<S>776</S>, even until now."


text:
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>. It was told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, "The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> has come<S>935</S> here<S>2008</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Hazael<S>2371</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> a present<S>4503</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go<S>3212</S>, meet<S>7125</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> by him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>2421</S> 'Will I recover from this sickness<S>2483</S>?'"


text:
So Hazael<S>2371</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>3947</S>, and took 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<S>559</S>, and said, "Your son<S>1121</S> Benhadad<S>1130</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> has sent<S>7971</S> me to you<S>559</S>, saying, <S>2421</S> 'Will I recover from this sickness<S>2483</S>?'"


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go, tell<S>559</S> him<S>2421</S>, 'You shall surely recover<S>2421</S>;' however Yahweh<S>3068</S> has shown<S>7200</S> me that he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>."


text:
He settled<S>5975</S> his gaze<S>6440</S> steadfastly<S>7760</S> on him<S>954</S>, until he was ashamed. Then the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, "Why do you weep<S>1058</S>, my lord<S>113</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "Because I know<S>3045</S> the evil<S>7451</S> that you will do<S>6213</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. You will set<S>7971</S> their strongholds<S>4013</S> on fire<S>784</S>, and you will kill<S>2026</S> their young men<S>970</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and will dash<S>7376</S> in pieces their little ones<S>5768</S>, and rip up<S>1234</S> their women with child<S>2030</S>."


text:
Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, "But what is your servant<S>5650</S>, who is but a dog<S>3611</S>, that he should do<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>?" Elisha<S>477</S> answered<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> has shown<S>7200</S> me that you will be king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>."


text:
Then 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<S>477</S>, "What did Elisha say<S>559</S> to you<S>559</S>?" He answered, "He told<S>559</S> me that you would surely<S>2421</S> recover<S>2421</S>."


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


text:
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> being king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> then<S>3088</S>, Jehoram 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>.


text:
He was thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>. He reigned<S>4427</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
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 he had the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> as wife<S>802</S>. He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

However Yahweh<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> Judah<S>3063</S>, for David<S>1732</S> his servant<S>5650</S>'s sake<S>559</S>, as he promised him to give<S>5414</S> to him a lamp<S>5216</S> for his children<S>1121</S> always<S>3117</S>.


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


text:
So 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>.


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Joram<S>3141</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
Joram<S>3141</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>; and Ahaziah<S>274</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the twelfth<S>6240</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>, Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
Twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaziah<S>274</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Athaliah<S>6271</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as did the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>; for he was the son-in<S>2860</S>-law of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
He went<S>3212</S> with Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> to war<S>4421</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> at Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>: and the Syrians<S>761</S> wounded<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3141</S> returned<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> of the wounds<S>4347</S> which the Syrians<S>761</S> had given<S>5221</S> him at Ramah<S>7414</S>, when he fought<S>3898</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>. Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, because he was sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
Elisha<S>477</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> called<S>7121</S> one<S>259</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>2296</S>, "Put your belt on your waist<S>4975</S>, take<S>3947</S> this vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>.


text:
When you come<S>935</S> there<S>7200</S>, find Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>, and go in<S>935</S>, and make him arise up<S>6965</S> from among<S>8432</S> his brothers<S>251</S>, and carry<S>935</S> him to an inner<S>2315</S> room<S>2315</S>.


text:
Then take<S>3947</S> the vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and pour<S>3332</S> it on his head<S>7218</S>, and say<S>559</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "I have anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>."' Then open<S>6605</S> the door<S>1817</S>, flee<S>5127</S>, and don<S>2442</S>'t wait."


text:
So the young man<S>5288</S>, even the young man<S>5288</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, went<S>3212</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>.


text:
When he came<S>935</S>, behold<S>8269</S>, the captains of the army<S>2428</S> were sitting<S>3427</S>. Then he said<S>559</S>, "I have a message<S>1697</S> for you<S>8269</S>, captain." Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, "To which of us all<S>559</S>?" He said, "To you<S>8269</S>, O captain."


text:
He arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>. Then he poured<S>3332</S> the oil<S>8081</S> on his head<S>7218</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <S>4886</S> 'I have anointed you king<S>4428</S> over the people<S>5971</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, even over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
You shall strike<S>5221</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> your master<S>113</S>, that I may avenge<S>5358</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of my servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>, and the blood<S>1818</S> of all the servants<S>5650</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, at the hand<S>3027</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S>.


text:
For the whole house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> shall perish<S>6</S>. I will cut off<S>3772</S> from Ahab<S>256</S> everyone who urinates<S>8366</S> against a wall<S>7023</S>, both him who is shut up<S>6113</S> and him who is left<S>5800</S> at large in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
I will make<S>5414</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</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>.


text:
The dogs<S>3611</S> will eat<S>398</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> on the plot<S>2506</S> of ground of Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and there shall be none to bury<S>6912</S> her<S>6605</S>.'" He opened the door<S>1817</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
Then Jehu<S>3058</S> came forth<S>3318</S> to the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>: and one said<S>559</S> to him<S>7965</S>, "Is all well? Why did this mad<S>7696</S> fellow come<S>935</S> to you<S>559</S>?" He said to them<S>3045</S>, "You know the man<S>376</S> and what his talk was<S>7879</S>."


text:
They said<S>559</S>, "That is a lie<S>8267</S>. Tell<S>5046</S> us now<S>559</S>." He said, "He said<S>559</S> to me<S>559</S>, 'Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, I have anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.'"


text:
Then they hurried<S>4116</S>, and took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his garment<S>899</S>, and put<S>7760</S> it under him on the top<S>1634</S> of the stairs<S>4609</S>, and blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Jehu<S>3058</S> is king<S>4427</S>."


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against Joram<S>3141</S>. (Now Joram<S>3141</S> was keeping<S>8104</S> Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>, he and all Israel<S>3478</S>, because<S>6440</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>;


text:
but king<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3088</S> was returned<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> of the wounds<S>4347</S> which the Syrians<S>761</S> had given<S>5221</S> him<S>3898</S>, when he fought with Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>.) Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, "If this is<S>3426</S> your thinking<S>5315</S>, then let no one<S>408</S> escape<S>6412</S> and go out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, to go<S>3212</S> to tell<S>5046</S> it in Jezreel<S>3157</S>."


text:
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<S>274</S>. Ahaziah king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had come down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
Now the watchman<S>6822</S> was standing<S>5975</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>." Joram<S>3088</S> said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> a horseman<S>7395</S>, and send<S>7971</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>559</S>, and let him say, <S>7965</S> 'Is it peace?'"


text:
So there went<S>3212</S> one on horseback<S>7392</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <S>7965</S> 'Is it peace?'" Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, "What do you have to do with peace<S>7965</S>? Fall<S>5437</S> in behind<S>310</S> me<S>6822</S>!" The watchman said<S>5046</S>, <S>559</S> "The messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to them<S>7725</S>, but he isn't coming back."


text:
Then he sent out<S>7971</S> a second<S>8145</S> on horseback<S>7392</S>, who came<S>935</S> to them<S>559</S>, and said, "Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <S>7965</S> 'Is it peace?'" Jehu<S>3058</S> answered<S>559</S>, "What do you have to do with peace<S>7965</S>? Fall<S>5437</S> in behind me<S>310</S>!"


text:
The watchman<S>6822</S> said<S>5046</S>, <S>559</S> "He came<S>935</S> to them<S>7725</S>, and isn't coming back. The driving<S>4491</S> is like the driving<S>4491</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>; for he drives<S>5090</S> furiously<S>7697</S>."


text:
Joram<S>3088</S> said<S>559</S>, "Get ready<S>631</S>!" They got his chariot<S>7393</S> ready<S>631</S>. Joram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went out<S>3318</S>, each<S>376</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>, and found<S>4672</S> him in the portion<S>2513</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3088</S>, when Joram saw<S>7200</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, "Is it peace<S>7965</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "What peace<S>7965</S>, so long as<S>5704</S> the prostitution<S>2183</S> of your mother<S>517</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> and her witchcraft<S>3785</S> abound<S>7227</S>?"


text:
Joram<S>3088</S> turned<S>2015</S> his hands<S>3027</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>, and said<S>559</S> to Ahaziah<S>274</S>, "There is treason<S>4820</S>, Ahaziah<S>274</S>!"


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> drew his bow<S>7198</S> with his full<S>4390</S> strength<S>3027</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3088</S> between his arms<S>2220</S>; and the arrow<S>2678</S> went out<S>3318</S> at his heart<S>3820</S>, and he sunk down<S>3766</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
Then Jehu said<S>559</S> to Bidkar<S>920</S> his captain<S>7991</S>, "Pick him up<S>5375</S>, and throw<S>7993</S> him in the plot<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<S>7392</S>, when you and I rode together<S>6776</S> after<S>310</S> Ahab<S>256</S> his father<S>1</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> laid<S>5375</S> this burden on him<S>4853</S>:


text:
<S>7200</S> 'Surely I have seen yesterday<S>570</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S>, and the blood<S>1818</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>,' says<S>5002</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; <S>7999</S> 'and I will repay you in this plot<S>2513</S> of ground<S>5002</S>,' says Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Now therefore take<S>5375</S> and cast<S>7993</S> him onto the plot<S>2513</S> of ground<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
But when Ahaziah<S>274</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> saw<S>7200</S> this<S>5127</S>, he fled by the way<S>1870</S> of the garden<S>1588</S> house<S>1004</S>. Jehu<S>3058</S> followed<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Strike<S>5221</S> him also in the chariot<S>4818</S>!" They struck him at the ascent<S>4608</S> of Gur<S>1483</S>, which is by Ibleam<S>2991</S>. He fled<S>5127</S> to Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
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 tomb<S>6900</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
In the eleventh<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began Ahaziah<S>274</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
When Jehu<S>3058</S> had come<S>935</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>, Jezebel<S>348</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7760</S>; and she painted her eyes<S>5869</S>, and attired<S>3190</S> her head<S>7218</S>, and looked out<S>8259</S> at the window<S>2474</S>.


text:
As Jehu<S>3058</S> entered in<S>935</S> at the gate<S>8179</S>, she said<S>559</S>, "Do you come in peace<S>7965</S>, Zimri<S>2174</S>, you murderer<S>2026</S> of your master<S>113</S>?"


text:
He lifted up<S>5375</S> his face<S>6440</S> to the window<S>2474</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Who is on my side<S>8147</S>? Who?" Two or three<S>7969</S> eunuchs<S>5631</S> looked out at him<S>8259</S>.


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


text:
When he had come in<S>935</S>, he ate<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, "See<S>6485</S> now to this cursed<S>779</S> woman<S>6912</S>, and bury her<S>4428</S>; for she is a king's daughter<S>1323</S>."


text:
They went<S>3212</S> to bury<S>6912</S> her<S>4672</S>; but they found no more of her than<S>518</S> the skull<S>1538</S>, and the feet<S>7272</S>, and the palms<S>3709</S> of her hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
Therefore they came back<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>. He said, "This is the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3611</S> 'The dogs will eat<S>398</S> the flesh<S>1320</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S> on the plot<S>2506</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>,


text:

It happened after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, when David<S>1732</S> was returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and David<S>1732</S> had stayed<S>3427</S> two<S>8147</S> days<S>3117</S> in Ziklag<S>6860</S>;


text:
it happened on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that behold<S>376</S>, a man came<S>935</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>, with his clothes<S>899</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> on his head<S>7218</S>: and so it was<S>935</S>, when he came to David<S>1732</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and showed respect<S>7812</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>935</S>, "Where do you come from<S>559</S>?" He said to him<S>4422</S>, "I have escaped out of the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>4100</S>, "How did it go<S>1697</S>? Please tell<S>5046</S> me<S>559</S>." He answered, "The people<S>5971</S> have fled<S>5127</S> from the battle<S>4421</S>, and many<S>7235</S> of the people<S>5971</S> also have fallen<S>5307</S> and are dead<S>4191</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> are dead also<S>4191</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> who told<S>559</S> him<S>3045</S>, "How do you know that Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> are dead<S>4191</S>?"


text:
The young man<S>5288</S> who told<S>5046</S> him said<S>5046</S>, "As I happened<S>7136</S> by chance<S>7122</S> on Mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>, behold<S>7586</S>, Saul was leaning<S>8172</S> on his spear<S>2595</S>; and behold<S>7393</S>, the chariots and the horsemen<S>1167</S> followed hard after him<S>1692</S>.


text:
When he looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>6437</S>, he saw me<S>7121</S>, and called to me<S>559</S>. I answered, 'Here I am.'


text:
He said<S>559</S> to me<S>5975</S>, 'Please stand beside me<S>4191</S>, and kill me<S>7661</S>; for anguish has taken<S>270</S> hold of me<S>5315</S>, because my life is yet whole in me.'


text:
So I stood<S>5975</S> beside him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>3045</S>, because I was sure that he could not live<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> that he had fallen<S>5307</S>. I took<S>3947</S> the crown<S>5145</S> that was on his head<S>7218</S>, and the bracelet<S>685</S> that was on his arm<S>2220</S>, and have brought<S>935</S> them here to my lord<S>113</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> took hold<S>2388</S> on his clothes<S>899</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> them<S>582</S>; and likewise all the men who were with him.


text:
They mourned<S>5594</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> until evening<S>6153</S>, for Saul<S>7586</S>, and for Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and for the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; because they were fallen<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> who told<S>559</S> him<S>559</S>, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son<S>1121</S> of a foreigner<S>376</S>, an Amalekite<S>6003</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3372</S>, "How were you not afraid to put forth<S>7971</S> your hand<S>3027</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> called<S>7121</S> one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Go near<S>5066</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> on him<S>5221</S>." He struck him<S>4191</S>, so that he died.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1818</S>, "Your blood be on your head<S>7218</S>; for your mouth<S>6310</S> has testified<S>6030</S> against you<S>559</S>, saying, <S>4191</S> 'I have slain Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.'"


text:
David<S>1732</S> lamented<S>6969</S> with this lamentation<S>7015</S> over Saul<S>7586</S> and over Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>


text:
(and he commanded<S>559</S> them to teach<S>3925</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> the song of the bow<S>7198</S>: behold<S>3789</S>, it is written in the book<S>5612</S> of Jashar<S>3477</S>):

Don<S>5046</S>'t tell it in Gath<S>1661</S>. Don<S>1319</S>'t publish it in the streets<S>2351</S> of Ashkelon<S>831</S>, lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> rejoice<S>8055</S>, lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S> triumph<S>5937</S>.

You mountains<S>2022</S> of Gilboa<S>1533</S>, let there be no dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> on you<S>7704</S>, neither fields of offerings<S>8641</S>; For there the shield<S>4043</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S> was vilely cast away<S>1602</S>, The shield<S>4043</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> was not anointed<S>4899</S> with oil<S>8081</S>.

From the blood<S>1818</S> of the slain<S>2491</S>, from the fat<S>2459</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S>'s bow<S>7198</S> didn<S>7734</S>'t turn back<S>268</S>. Saul<S>7586</S>'s sword<S>2719</S> didn<S>7725</S>'t return empty<S>7387</S>.

Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> were lovely<S>157</S> and pleasant<S>5273</S> in their lives<S>2416</S>. In their death<S>4194</S>, they were not divided<S>6504</S>. They were swifter<S>7043</S> than eagles<S>5404</S>. They were stronger<S>1396</S> than lions<S>738</S>.

You daughters<S>1323</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, weep over<S>1058</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, who clothed<S>3847</S> you in scarlet<S>8144</S> delicately<S>5730</S>, who put<S>5927</S> ornaments<S>5716</S> of gold<S>2091</S> on your clothing<S>3830</S>.

text:
I am distressed<S>6887</S> for you<S>251</S>, my brother Jonathan<S>3083</S>. You have been very<S>3966</S> pleasant<S>5276</S> to me<S>160</S>. Your love to me was wonderful<S>6381</S>, passing the love<S>160</S> of women<S>802</S>.

How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S>, and the weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S> perished<S>6</S>!"

It happened after this<S>310</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Hanun<S>2586</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.

David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "I will show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> to Hanun<S>2586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, as his father<S>1</S> showed<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> to me<S>1732</S>."

David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.

But the princes<S>8269</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> said<S>559</S> to Hanun<S>2586</S> their lord<S>113</S>, "Do you think<S>5869</S> that David<S>1732</S> honors your father<S>1</S>, in that he has sent<S>7971</S> comforters<S>5162</S> to you<S>1732</S>? Hasn't David sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> to<S>5668</S> you to<S>5668</S> search<S>2713</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and to spy it out<S>7270</S>, and to overthrow it<S>2015</S>?"

So Hanun<S>2586</S> took<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and shaved off<S>1548</S> the one half<S>2677</S> of their beards<S>2206</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> their garments<S>4063</S> in the middle<S>2677</S>, even to their buttocks<S>8357</S>, and sent them away<S>7971</S>.


text:
When they told<S>5046</S> it to David<S>1732</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>582</S>; for the men were greatly<S>3966</S> ashamed<S>3637</S>. The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Wait<S>3427</S> at Jericho<S>3405</S> until your beards<S>2206</S> have grown<S>6779</S>, and then return<S>7725</S>."


text:
When the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were become odious<S>887</S> to David<S>1732</S>, the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> sent<S>7971</S> and hired<S>7936</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> of Beth Rehob<S>1050</S>, and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S> with one thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Tob twelve<S>6240</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came out<S>3318</S>, and put the battle<S>4421</S> in<S>6607</S> array<S>6186</S> at the entrance<S>8179</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S> and of Rehob<S>7340</S>, and the men of Tob and Maacah<S>4601</S>, were by themselves<S>905</S> in the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Now when Joab<S>3097</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the battle<S>4421</S> was set<S>6440</S> against him before<S>6440</S> and behind<S>268</S>, he chose<S>977</S> of all the choice<S>977</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, and put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>:


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he committed<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S>; and he put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "If the Syrians<S>758</S> are too strong<S>2388</S> for me<S>3444</S>, then you shall help me<S>1121</S>; but if the children of Ammon<S>5983</S> are too strong<S>2388</S> for you<S>1980</S>, then I will come and help you<S>3467</S>.


text:
Be courageous<S>2388</S>, and let us be strong<S>2388</S> for our people<S>5971</S>, and for the cities<S>5892</S> of our God<S>430</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> that which seems<S>5869</S> good to him<S>2896</S>."


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> and the people<S>5971</S> who were with him drew near<S>5066</S> to the battle<S>4421</S> against the Syrians<S>758</S>: and they fled<S>5127</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
When the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the Syrians<S>758</S> had fled<S>5127</S>, they likewise fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Abishai<S>52</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>. Then Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
When the Syrians<S>758</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were defeated<S>5062</S> by<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they gathered<S>622</S> themselves together<S>3162</S>.


text:
Hadadezer<S>1928</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and brought out<S>3318</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> who were beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>: and they came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>, with Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Hadadezer<S>1928</S> at their head<S>6440</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>; and he gathered<S>622</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>622</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>. The Syrians<S>758</S> set themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and fought with him<S>3898</S>.


text:
The Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> killed<S>2026</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> charioteers<S>7393</S>, and forty<S>705</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of their army<S>6635</S>, so that he died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
When all the kings<S>4428</S> who were servants<S>5650</S> to Hadadezer<S>1928</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were defeated<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they made peace<S>7999</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, and served<S>5647</S> them<S>758</S>. So the Syrians feared<S>3372</S> to help<S>3467</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon any more<S>5983</S>.


text:
It happened<S>8666</S>, at the return of the year<S>8141</S>, at the time<S>6256</S> when kings<S>4428</S> go out<S>3318</S>, that David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>3478</S>, and all Israel; and they destroyed<S>7843</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> Rabbah<S>7237</S>. But David<S>1732</S> stayed<S>3427</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
It happened at evening<S>6153</S>, that David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from off his bed<S>4904</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> on the roof<S>1406</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and from the roof<S>1406</S> he saw<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> bathing<S>7364</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> was very<S>3966</S> beautiful<S>2896</S> to look on<S>4758</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and inquired<S>1875</S> after the woman<S>802</S>. One said<S>559</S>, "Isn<S>1339</S>'t this Bathsheba, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Eliam<S>463</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and took<S>3947</S> her<S>935</S>; and she came in to him<S>7901</S>, and he lay with her<S>6942</S> (for she was purified from her uncleanness<S>2932</S>); and she returned<S>7725</S> to her house<S>1004</S>.


text:
The woman<S>802</S> conceived<S>2029</S>; and she sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "I am with child<S>2030</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "Send<S>7971</S> me Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>." Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> Uriah<S>223</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
When Uriah<S>223</S> had come<S>935</S> to him<S>1732</S>, David asked<S>7592</S> of him how Joab<S>3097</S> did<S>7965</S>, and how the people<S>5971</S> fared<S>7965</S>, and how the war<S>4421</S> prospered<S>7965</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, "Go down<S>3381</S> to your house<S>1004</S>, and wash<S>7364</S> your feet<S>7272</S>." Uriah<S>223</S> departed out<S>3318</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and a gift<S>4864</S> from the king<S>4428</S> was sent after him<S>310</S>.


text:
But Uriah<S>223</S> slept<S>7901</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> with all the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, and didn<S>3381</S>'t go down to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
When they had told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Uriah<S>223</S> didn<S>3381</S>'t go down to his house<S>1004</S>," David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, "Haven<S>935</S>'t you come from a journey<S>1870</S>? Why didn<S>3381</S>'t you go down to your house<S>1004</S>?"


text:
Uriah<S>223</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "The ark<S>727</S>, Israel<S>3478</S>, and Judah<S>3063</S>, are staying in tents<S>5521</S>; and my lord<S>113</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, are encamped<S>2583</S> in<S>589</S> the open<S>6440</S> field<S>7704</S>. Shall I<S>589</S> then go<S>935</S> into my house<S>1004</S> to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>, and to lie<S>7901</S> with my wife<S>802</S>? As you live<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>!"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, "Stay<S>3427</S> here today<S>3117</S> also<S>4279</S>, and tomorrow I will let you depart<S>7971</S>." So Uriah<S>223</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> that day<S>3117</S>, and the next day<S>3117</S>.


text:
When David<S>1732</S> had called<S>7121</S> him<S>398</S>, he ate and drink<S>8354</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>7937</S>; and he made him drunk. At evening<S>6153</S>, he went out<S>3318</S> to lie<S>7901</S> on his bed<S>4904</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, but didn<S>3381</S>'t go down to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
It happened in the morning<S>1242</S>, that David<S>1732</S> wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it by the hand<S>3027</S> of Uriah<S>223</S>.


text:
He wrote<S>3789</S> in the letter<S>5612</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Send<S>3051</S> Uriah<S>223</S> to the forefront<S>6440</S> of the hottest<S>2389</S> battle<S>4421</S>, and retreat<S>7725</S> from him<S>310</S>, that he may be struck<S>5221</S>, and die<S>4191</S>."


text:
It happened<S>3097</S>, when Joab kept watch<S>8104</S> on the city<S>5892</S>, that he assigned<S>5414</S> Uriah<S>223</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where he knew<S>3045</S> that valiant<S>2428</S> men were<S>582</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Joab<S>3097</S>. Some of the people<S>5971</S> fell<S>5307</S>, even of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> died also<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all the things<S>1697</S> concerning the war<S>4421</S>;


text:
and he commanded<S>6680</S> the messenger<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "When you have finished<S>3615</S> telling<S>1696</S> all the things<S>1697</S> concerning the war<S>4421</S> to the king<S>4428</S>,


text:
it shall be that<S>4428</S>, if the king's wrath<S>2534</S> arise<S>5927</S>, and he asks<S>559</S> you<S>5066</S>, 'Why did you go so near to the city<S>5892</S> to fight<S>3898</S>? Didn<S>3045</S>'t you know that they would shoot<S>3384</S> from the wall<S>2346</S>?


text:
who struck<S>5221</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbesheth<S>3380</S>? Didn<S>802</S>'t a woman cast<S>7993</S> an upper<S>6400</S> millstone<S>7393</S> on him from the wall<S>2346</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S> at Thebez<S>8405</S>? Why did you go so near<S>5066</S> the wall<S>2346</S>?' then you shall say<S>559</S>, <S>5650</S> 'Your servant Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>.'"


text:
So the messenger<S>4397</S> went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> and showed<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all that Joab<S>3097</S> had sent him for<S>7971</S>.


text:
The messenger<S>4397</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "The men<S>582</S> prevailed<S>1396</S> against us<S>3318</S>, and came out to us into the field<S>7704</S>, and we were on them even to the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
The shooters<S>3384</S> shot<S>3384</S> at your servants<S>5650</S> from off the wall<S>2346</S>; and some of the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> are dead<S>4191</S>, and your servant<S>5650</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the messenger<S>4397</S>, "Thus you shall tell<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, <S>1697</S> 'Don't let this thing displease<S>3415</S> you<S>2719</S>, for the sword devours<S>398</S> one as well as another<S>2090</S>. Make your battle<S>4421</S> stronger<S>2388</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and overthrow<S>2040</S> it<S>2388</S>.' Encourage him."


text:
When the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Uriah<S>223</S> her husband<S>376</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she made lamentation<S>5594</S> for her husband<S>1167</S>.


text:
When the mourning<S>60</S> was past<S>5674</S>, David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and took<S>622</S> her home to his house<S>1004</S>, and she became his wife<S>802</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> him a son<S>1121</S>. But the thing<S>1697</S> that David<S>1732</S> had done<S>6213</S> displeased<S>3415</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Nathan<S>5416</S> to David<S>1732</S>. He came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>8147</S>, "There were two men<S>582</S> in one<S>259</S> city<S>5892</S>; the one<S>259</S> rich<S>6223</S>, and the other<S>259</S> poor<S>7326</S>.


text:
but the poor<S>7326</S> man had nothing<S>259</S>, except one little<S>6996</S> ewe lamb<S>3535</S>, which he had bought<S>7069</S> and raised<S>2421</S>. It grew up<S>2421</S> together<S>3162</S> with him<S>1121</S>, and with his children. It ate<S>398</S> of his own food<S>6595</S>, drank<S>8354</S> of his own cup<S>3563</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in his bosom<S>2436</S>, and was to him like a daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
A traveler<S>1982</S> came<S>935</S> to the rich<S>6223</S> man<S>376</S>, and he spared<S>2550</S> to take<S>3947</S> of his own flock<S>6629</S> and of his own herd<S>1241</S>, to dress<S>6213</S> for the wayfaring man<S>732</S> who had come<S>935</S> to him<S>3947</S>, but took the poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>'s lamb<S>3535</S>, and dressed<S>6213</S> it for the man<S>376</S> who had come to him<S>935</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> kindled<S>2734</S> against the man<S>376</S>, and he said<S>559</S> to Nathan<S>5416</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, the man<S>376</S> who has done<S>6213</S> this is worthy<S>1121</S> to die<S>4194</S>!


text:
He shall restore<S>7999</S> the lamb<S>3535</S> fourfold<S>706</S>, because<S>6118</S> he did<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, and because<S>6118</S> he had no pity<S>2550</S>!"


text:
Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "You are the man<S>376</S>. This is what Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, says<S>559</S>: <S>4886</S> 'I anointed you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
I gave<S>5414</S> you your master<S>113</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and your master<S>113</S>'s wives<S>802</S> into your bosom<S>2436</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> you the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S>; and if that would have been too little<S>4592</S>, I would have added<S>3254</S> to you many more such<S>2007</S> things<S>2007</S>.

Why have you despised<S>959</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that which is evil<S>7451</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>? You have struck<S>5221</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and have taken<S>3947</S> his wife<S>802</S> to be your wife<S>802</S>, and have slain<S>2026</S> him with the sword<S>2719</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
Now therefore the sword<S>2719</S> will never<S>5704</S> depart<S>5493</S> from your house<S>1004</S>, because<S>6118</S> you have despised<S>959</S> me<S>3947</S>, and have taken the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> to be your wife<S>802</S>.'


text:
"This is what Yahweh<S>3068</S> says<S>559</S>: <S>6965</S> 'Behold, I will raise up evil<S>7451</S> against you out of your own house<S>1004</S>; and I will take<S>3947</S> your wives<S>802</S> before your eyes<S>5869</S>, and give<S>5414</S> them to your neighbor<S>7453</S>, and he will lie<S>7901</S> with your wives<S>802</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of this sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
For you did<S>6213</S> it secretly<S>5643</S>, but I will do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> before all Israel<S>3478</S>, and before the sun<S>8121</S>.'"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Nathan<S>5416</S>, "I have sinned<S>2398</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>." Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> also has put away<S>5674</S> your sin<S>2403</S>. You will not die<S>4191</S>.


text:
However<S>657</S>, because by this deed<S>1697</S> you have given<S>5006</S> great occasion<S>5006</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s enemies<S>341</S> to blaspheme<S>5006</S>, the child<S>1121</S> also who is born<S>3209</S> to you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>."


text:
Nathan<S>5416</S> departed<S>3212</S> to his house<S>1004</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> the child<S>3206</S> that Uriah<S>223</S>'s wife<S>802</S> bore<S>3205</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and it was very sick<S>605</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore begged<S>1245</S> God<S>430</S> for the child<S>5288</S>; and David<S>1732</S> fasted<S>6684</S>, and went in<S>935</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> all night<S>3885</S> on the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
The elders<S>2205</S> of his house<S>1004</S> arose<S>6965</S> beside him<S>6965</S>, to raise him up from the earth<S>776</S>: but he would<S>14</S> not<S>1262</S>, neither did he eat bread with them<S>3899</S>.


text:
It happened on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the child<S>3206</S> died<S>4191</S>. The servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> feared<S>3372</S> to tell<S>5046</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>3206</S>, while the child was yet alive<S>2416</S>, we spoke<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, and he didn't listen to our voice<S>6963</S>. How will he then<S>6213</S> harm<S>7451</S> himself<S>6213</S>, if we tell<S>559</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> is dead<S>4191</S>?"


text:
But when David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his servants<S>5650</S> were whispering<S>3907</S> together<S>1732</S>, David perceived<S>995</S> that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>; and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Is the child<S>3206</S> dead<S>4191</S>?" They said<S>559</S>, "He is dead<S>4191</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and washed<S>7364</S>, and anointed<S>5480</S> himself<S>2498</S>, and changed his clothing<S>8071</S>; and he came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S>: then he came<S>935</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>; and when he required<S>7592</S>, they set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> before him<S>398</S>, and he ate.


text:
Then his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1697</S>, "What is this that you have done<S>6213</S>? You fasted<S>6684</S> and wept<S>1058</S> for the child<S>3206</S> while he was alive<S>2416</S>; but when the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, you rose<S>6965</S> up and ate<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "While the child<S>3206</S> was yet alive<S>2416</S>, I fasted<S>6684</S> and wept<S>1058</S>; for I said<S>559</S>, <S>3045</S> 'Who knows whether Yahweh<S>3068</S> will not be gracious<S>2603</S> to me<S>3206</S>, that the child may live<S>2416</S>?'


text:
But now he is dead<S>4191</S>, why should I fast<S>6684</S>? Can<S>3201</S> I bring him back again<S>7725</S>? I shall go<S>1980</S> to him<S>7725</S>, but he will not return to me."


text:
David<S>1732</S> comforted<S>5162</S> Bathsheba<S>1339</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and went in<S>935</S> to her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her<S>3205</S>. She bore a son<S>1121</S>, and he called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> loved him<S>157</S>;


text:
and he sent<S>7971</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; and he<S>7121</S> named<S>8034</S> him Jedidiah<S>3041</S>, for Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s sake.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and took<S>3920</S> the royal<S>4410</S> city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "I have fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S>. Yes<S>3920</S>, I have taken the city<S>5892</S> of waters<S>4325</S>.


text:
Now therefore gather<S>622</S> the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and encamp<S>2583</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and take<S>3920</S> it<S>3920</S>; lest I take the city<S>5892</S>, and it be called<S>7121</S> after my name<S>8034</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> gathered<S>622</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Rabbah<S>7237</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against it<S>3920</S>, and took it.


text:
He took<S>3947</S> the crown<S>5850</S> of their king<S>4428</S> from off his head<S>7218</S>; and its weight<S>4948</S> was a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and in it were precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>; and it was set on David<S>1732</S>'s head<S>7218</S>. He brought out<S>3318</S> the spoil<S>7998</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, exceeding<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S>.


text:
He brought out<S>3318</S> the people<S>5971</S> who were therein<S>7760</S>, and put them under saws<S>4050</S>, and under iron<S>1270</S> picks<S>2757</S>, and under axes<S>4037</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and made them pass<S>5674</S> through the brick kiln<S>4404</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> so to all the cities<S>5892</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>. David<S>1732</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
It happened after<S>310</S> this<S>53</S>, that Absalom the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> had a beautiful<S>3303</S> sister<S>269</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>; and Amnon<S>550</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> loved her<S>157</S>.


text:
Amnon<S>550</S> was so troubled<S>3334</S> that he fell sick<S>2470</S> because of his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>; for she was a virgin<S>1330</S>; and it seemed<S>5869</S> hard<S>6381</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> to do<S>6213</S> anything to her<S>3972</S>.


text:
But Amnon<S>550</S> had a friend<S>7453</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>; and Jonadab<S>3122</S> was a very<S>3966</S> subtle<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>1121</S>, "Why, son of the king<S>4428</S>, are you so sad<S>1800</S> from day<S>1242</S> to day<S>1242</S>? Won<S>5046</S>'t you tell me<S>550</S>?" Amnon said<S>559</S> to him<S>157</S>, "I love Tamar<S>8559</S>, my brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s sister<S>269</S>."


text:
Jonadab<S>3082</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7901</S>, "Lay down on your bed<S>4904</S>, and pretend to be sick<S>2470</S>. When your father<S>1</S> comes<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> you<S>559</S>, tell him<S>269</S>, 'Please let my sister Tamar<S>8559</S> come<S>935</S> and give<S>1262</S> me bread<S>3899</S> to eat<S>6213</S>, and dress the food<S>3899</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may see<S>7200</S> it<S>398</S>, and eat it from her hand<S>3027</S>.'"


text:
So Amnon<S>550</S> lay down<S>7901</S> and faked being sick<S>2470</S>. When the king<S>4428</S> came<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> him<S>550</S>, Amnon said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Please let my sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S> come<S>935</S>, and make<S>3823</S> me a couple<S>8147</S> of cakes<S>3834</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> from her hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> home<S>1004</S> to Tamar<S>8559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> now to your brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and prepare<S>6213</S> food for him<S>1279</S>."


text:
So Tamar<S>8559</S> went<S>3212</S> to her brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and he was laid down<S>7901</S>. She took<S>3947</S> dough<S>1217</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>3823</S>, and made cakes in his sight<S>5869</S>, and baked<S>1310</S> the cakes<S>3823</S>.


text:
She took<S>3947</S> the pan<S>4958</S>, and poured them out<S>3332</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3985</S>; but he refused to eat<S>398</S>. Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S>, "Have all men<S>376</S> leave<S>3318</S> me<S>376</S>." Every man went out from him<S>3318</S>.


text:
Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S> to Tamar<S>8559</S>, "Bring<S>935</S> the food<S>1279</S> into the room<S>2315</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> from your hand<S>3027</S>." Tamar<S>8559</S> took<S>3947</S> the cakes<S>3834</S> which she had made<S>6213</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the room<S>2315</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> her brother<S>251</S>.


text:
When she had brought<S>5066</S> them near to him to eat<S>398</S>, he took hold<S>2388</S> of her<S>559</S>, and said to her<S>935</S>, "Come, lie<S>7901</S> with me<S>269</S>, my sister!"


text:
She answered<S>559</S> him<S>251</S>, "No, my brother, do not force<S>6031</S> me<S>3651</S>! For no such thing ought to be done<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Don<S>6213</S>'t you do this folly<S>5039</S>.


text:
I<S>3212</S>, where would I carry my shame<S>2781</S>? And as for you<S>259</S>, you will be as one of the fools<S>5036</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Now therefore<S>1696</S>, please speak to the king<S>4428</S>; for he will not withhold me from you<S>4513</S>."


text:
However he would<S>14</S> not listen<S>8085</S> to her voice<S>6963</S>; but being stronger<S>2388</S> than she<S>6031</S>, he forced her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her.


text:
Then Amnon<S>550</S> hated<S>8130</S> her with exceeding great hatred<S>8135</S>; for the hatred<S>8135</S> with which he hated<S>8130</S> her was greater<S>1419</S> than the love<S>160</S> with which he had loved<S>157</S> her<S>550</S>. Amnon said<S>559</S> to her<S>6965</S>, "Arise, be gone<S>3212</S>!"


text:
She said<S>559</S> to him<S>182</S>, "Not so, because this great wrong<S>7451</S> in sending me away<S>7971</S> is worse<S>1419</S> than the other<S>312</S> that you did<S>6213</S> to me<S>14</S>!" But he would not listen to her<S>8085</S>.


text:
Then he called<S>7121</S> his servant<S>5288</S> who ministered<S>8334</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said, "Put<S>7971</S> now this woman out<S>2351</S> from me<S>5274</S>, and bolt the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>."


text:
She had a garment<S>3801</S> of various colors<S>6446</S> on her<S>4598</S>; for with such robes were the king<S>4428</S>'s daughters<S>1323</S> who were virgins<S>1330</S> dressed<S>3847</S>. Then his servant<S>8334</S> brought<S>3318</S> her out<S>2351</S>, and bolted<S>5274</S> the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>.


text:
Tamar<S>8559</S> put<S>3947</S> ashes<S>665</S> on her head<S>7218</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> her garment<S>3801</S> of various colors<S>6446</S> that was on her<S>7760</S>; and she laid her hand<S>3027</S> on<S>1980</S> her head<S>7218</S>, and went<S>3212</S> her way<S>2199</S>, crying aloud as she went.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> her brother<S>251</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>550</S>, "Has Amnon your brother<S>251</S> been with you<S>2790</S>? But now hold your peace, my sister<S>269</S>. He is your brother<S>251</S>. Don<S>7896</S>'t take this thing<S>1697</S> to heart<S>8559</S>." So Tamar remained<S>3427</S> desolate<S>8074</S> in her brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But when king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> of all these things<S>1697</S>, he was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>2734</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> neither good<S>2896</S> nor bad<S>7451</S>; for Absalom<S>53</S> hated<S>8130</S> Amnon<S>550</S>, because<S>1697</S> he had forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
It happened after two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> had sheepshearers<S>1494</S> in Baal Hazor<S>1178</S>, which is beside Ephraim<S>669</S>: and Absalom<S>53</S> invited<S>7121</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "See now<S>5650</S>, your servant has sheepshearers<S>1494</S>. Please let<S>3212</S> the king<S>4428</S> and his servants<S>5650</S> go<S>3212</S> with your servant<S>5650</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "No<S>1121</S>, my son, let us not all go<S>3212</S>, lest we be burdensome<S>3513</S> to you<S>6555</S>." He pressed him<S>14</S>; however he would not go<S>3212</S>, but blessed him<S>1288</S>.


text:
Then Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S>, "If not<S>251</S>, please let my brother Amnon<S>550</S> go<S>3212</S> with us<S>4428</S>." The king said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Why should he go with you?"


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> pressed<S>6555</S> him<S>550</S>, and he let Amnon and all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> go with him<S>7971</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "480<S>7200</S> now<S>550</S>, when Amnon's heart<S>3820</S> is merry<S>2896</S> with wine<S>3196</S>; and when I tell<S>559</S> you<S>5221</S>, 'Strike Amnon<S>550</S>,' then kill<S>4191</S> him<S>3372</S>. Don't be afraid. Haven<S>6680</S>'t I commanded you<S>2388</S>? Be courageous, and be valiant<S>1121</S>!"


text:
The servants<S>5288</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> did<S>6213</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> had commanded<S>6680</S>. Then all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and every man<S>376</S> got up<S>6965</S> on his mule<S>6505</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
It happened<S>1870</S>, while they were in the way, that the news<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Absalom<S>53</S> has slain<S>5221</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and there is not one<S>259</S> of them left<S>3498</S>!"

Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> his garments<S>899</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> on the earth<S>776</S>; and all his servants<S>5650</S> stood<S>5324</S> by with their clothes<S>899</S> torn<S>7167</S>.


text:
Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, answered<S>6030</S>, "Don<S>113</S>'t let my lord suppose<S>559</S> that they have killed<S>4191</S> all the young men<S>5288</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>; for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>; for by the appointment<S>6310</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> this has been determined<S>7760</S> from the day<S>3117</S> that he forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
Now therefore don<S>113</S>'t let my lord the king<S>4428</S> take<S>7760</S> the thing<S>1697</S> to his heart<S>3820</S>, to think<S>559</S> that all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> are dead<S>4191</S>; for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>."


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>. The young man<S>5288</S> who kept the watch<S>6822</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and behold<S>7227</S>, many people<S>5971</S> were coming<S>7227</S> by way<S>1870</S> of the hillside<S>2022, 6654</S> behind him<S>310</S>.


text:
Jonadab<S>3122</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Behold<S>4428</S>, the king's sons<S>1121</S> are coming<S>935</S>! It is as your servant<S>5650</S> said<S>1697</S>."


text:
It happened<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had finished speaking<S>1696</S>, that behold<S>4428</S>, the king's sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>. The king<S>4428</S> also and all his servants<S>5650</S> wept<S>1058, 3966</S> bitterly<S>1065</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Talmai<S>8526</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammihur<S>5991</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Geshur<S>1650</S>. David mourned<S>56</S> for his son<S>1121</S> every day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and was there three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> longed<S>3615</S> to go forth<S>3318</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>: for he was comforted<S>5162</S> concerning Amnon<S>550</S>, since he was dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that the king<S>4428</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was toward Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Tekoa<S>8620</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> there a wise<S>2450</S> woman<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S> to her<S>56</S>, "Please act like a mourner, and put on<S>3847</S> mourning<S>60</S> clothing<S>899</S>, please<S>5480</S>, and don't anoint yourself with oil<S>8081</S>, but be as a woman<S>802</S> who has mourned<S>56</S> a long<S>7227</S> time<S>3117</S> for the dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Go<S>935</S> in to the king<S>4428</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> like this<S>1697</S> to him<S>3097</S>." So Joab put<S>7760</S> the words<S>1697</S> in her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
When the woman<S>802</S> of Tekoa<S>8621</S> spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, she fell<S>5307</S> on her face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, showed respect<S>7812</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Help<S>3467</S>, O king<S>4428</S>!"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>559</S>, "What ails you?" She answered, "Truly<S>61</S> I<S>802</S> am a widow<S>490</S>, and my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Your handmaid<S>8198</S> had two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and they both<S>8147</S> fought together<S>5327</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and there was no one to part<S>5337</S> them<S>259</S>, but the one struck<S>5221</S> the other<S>259</S>, and killed him<S>5221</S>.


text:
Behold<S>4940</S>, the whole family has risen<S>6965</S> against your handmaid<S>8198</S>, and they say<S>559</S>, <S>5414</S> 'Deliver him who struck<S>5221</S> his brother<S>251</S>, that we may kill<S>4191</S> him for the life<S>5315</S> of his brother<S>251</S> whom he killed<S>2026</S>, and so destroy<S>8045</S> the heir<S>3423</S> also<S>3518</S>.' Thus they would quench my coal<S>1513</S> which is left<S>7760</S>, and would leave<S>7760</S> to my husband<S>376</S> neither name<S>8034</S> nor remainder<S>7611</S> on<S>6440</S> the surface of the earth<S>127</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to the woman<S>802</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> to your house<S>1004</S>, and I will give a command concerning you<S>6680</S>."


text:
The woman<S>802</S> of Tekoa<S>8621</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, the iniquity<S>5771</S> be on me<S>1</S>, and on my father's house<S>1004</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> and his throne<S>3678</S> be guiltless<S>5355</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Whoever says<S>559</S> anything to you<S>935</S>, bring him to me<S>5060</S>, and he shall not touch you any more<S>3254</S>."


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, "Please let the king<S>4428</S> remember<S>2142</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, that the avenger<S>1350</S> of blood<S>1818</S> destroy<S>7843</S> not any more<S>7235</S>, lest they destroy<S>8045</S> my son<S>1121</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, not one hair<S>8185</S> of your son<S>1121</S> shall fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>."


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, "Please let your handmaid<S>8198</S> speak<S>1696</S> a word<S>1697</S> to my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "Say on<S>1696</S>."


text:
The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, "Why then have you devised<S>2803</S> such a thing against the people<S>5971</S> of God<S>430</S>? For in speaking<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> the king<S>4428</S> is as one who is guilty<S>818</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> does not bring home again<S>7725</S> his banished one<S>5080</S>.


text:
For we must<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, and are as water<S>4325</S> spilled<S>5064</S> on the ground<S>776</S>, which can<S>622</S>'t be gathered up again; neither does God<S>430</S> take away<S>5375</S> life<S>5315</S>, but devises<S>2803</S> means<S>4284</S>, that he who is banished<S>5080</S> not be an outcast from him<S>5080</S>.


text:
Now therefore seeing that I have come<S>935</S> to speak<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> to my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, it is because the people<S>5971</S> have made me afraid<S>3372</S>: and your handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>1696</S> 'I will now speak to the king<S>4428</S>; it may be that the king<S>4428</S> will perform<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>519</S>.'


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> will hear<S>8085</S>, to deliver<S>5337</S> his servant<S>519</S> out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the man<S>376</S> who would destroy<S>8045</S> me and my son<S>1121</S> together<S>3162</S> out of the inheritance<S>5159</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then your handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>1697</S> 'Please let the word of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> bring rest<S>4496</S>; for as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, so is my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> to discern<S>8085</S> good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>. May Yahweh<S>3068</S>, your God<S>430</S>, be with you.'"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> the woman<S>802</S>, "Please don<S>3582</S>'t hide anything<S>1697</S> from me that I ask<S>7592</S> you<S>802</S>." The woman said<S>559</S>, "Let my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> now speak<S>1696</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Is the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S> with you in all this<S>802</S>?" The woman answered<S>6030</S>, "As your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, no one<S>5315</S> can<S>786</S> turn to the right hand<S>3231</S> or to the left<S>8041</S> from anything that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has spoken<S>1696</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, he urged<S>6680</S> me<S>7760</S>, and he put all these words<S>1697</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of your handmaid<S>8198</S>;


text:
to<S>5668</S> change<S>5437</S> the face<S>6440</S> of the matter<S>1697</S> has your servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S> done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>. My lord<S>113</S> is wise<S>2450</S>, according to the wisdom<S>2451</S> of an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, to know<S>3045</S> all things that are in the earth<S>776</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "Behold now<S>6213</S>, I have done this thing<S>1697</S>. Go<S>3212</S> therefore<S>7725</S>, bring the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S> back<S>7725</S>."


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> fell<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S> on his face<S>6440</S>, showed respect<S>7812</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> the king<S>4428</S>. Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, "Today<S>3117</S> your servant<S>5650</S> knows<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, king<S>4428</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> has performed<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>."


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and brought<S>935</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Let him return<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, but let him not see<S>7200</S> my face<S>6440</S>." So Absalom<S>53</S> returned<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, and didn<S>7200</S>'t see the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Now in all Israel<S>3478</S> there was none<S>376</S> to be so much<S>3966</S> praised<S>1984</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> for his beauty<S>3303</S>: from the sole<S>3709</S> of his foot<S>7272</S> even to the crown of his head<S>6936</S> there was no blemish in him<S>3971</S>.


text:
When he cut<S>1548</S> the hair of his head<S>7218</S> (now it was at every year<S>3117</S>'s end<S>7093</S> that he cut<S>1548</S> it<S>3513</S>; because it was heavy on him<S>1548</S>, therefore he cut it<S>8254</S>); he weighed the hair<S>8181</S> of his head<S>7218</S> at two hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S>, after the king<S>4428</S>'s weight<S>68</S>.


text:
To Absalom<S>53</S> there were born<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and one<S>259</S> daughter<S>1323</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>: she was a woman<S>802</S> of a beautiful<S>3303</S> face<S>4758</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> lived<S>3427</S> two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and he didn<S>7200</S>'t see the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Then Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Joab<S>3097</S>, to send<S>7971</S> him to the king<S>4428</S>; but he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S> to him<S>7971</S>: and he sent again a second time<S>8145</S>, but he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S>.


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s field<S>2513</S> is near<S>413</S> mine<S>3027</S>, and he has barley<S>8184</S> there<S>3212</S>. Go and set<S>3341</S> it on fire<S>784</S>." Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> set<S>3341</S> the field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S> to his house<S>1004</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>5650</S>, "Why have your servants set<S>3341</S> my field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>?"


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> answered<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, "Behold<S>7971</S>, I sent to you<S>559</S>, saying, <S>935</S> 'Come here<S>7971</S>, that I may send you to the king<S>4428</S>, to say<S>559</S>, "Why have I come<S>935</S> from Geshur<S>1650</S>? It would be better<S>2896</S> for me to be there still<S>7200</S>. Now therefore let me see the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>; and if there is<S>3426</S> iniquity<S>5771</S> in me<S>4191</S>, let him kill me."'"


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>7121</S>; and when he had called for Absalom<S>53</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
It happened after this<S>310</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> prepared<S>6213</S> him a chariot<S>4818</S> and horses<S>5483</S>, and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> to run<S>7323</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> rose up early<S>7925</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>. It was so<S>376</S>, that when any man had a suit<S>7379</S> which should come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>, then Absalom<S>53</S> called<S>7121</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said, "What<S>335</S> city<S>5892</S> are you from<S>559</S>?" He said, "Your servant<S>5650</S> is of one<S>259</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7200</S>, "Behold, your matters<S>1697</S> are good<S>2896</S> and right<S>5228</S>; but there is no man deputized by the king<S>4428</S> to hear you<S>8085</S>."


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>7760</S>, "Oh that I were made judge<S>8199</S> in the land<S>776</S>, that every man<S>376</S> who has any suit<S>7379</S> or cause<S>4941</S> might come<S>935</S> to me<S>6663</S>, and I would do him justice!"


text:
It was so<S>376</S>, that when any man came near<S>7126</S> to do him obeisance<S>7812</S>, he put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>2388</S> hold of him<S>5401</S>, and kissed him.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> did<S>6213</S> this sort of thing<S>1697</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S> who came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>. So Absalom<S>53</S> stole<S>1589</S> the hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened at the end<S>7093</S> of forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Please let me go<S>3212</S> and pay<S>7999</S> my vow<S>5088</S>, which I have vowed<S>5087</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
For your servant<S>5650</S> vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S> while I stayed<S>3427</S> at Geshur<S>1650</S> in Syria<S>758</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3068</S> 'If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, then I will serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go in peace<S>7965</S>." So he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>.

But Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "As soon as you hear<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>, then you shall say<S>559</S>, <S>53</S> 'Absalom is king<S>4427</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>!'"


text:
Two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> went<S>1980</S> with Absalom<S>53</S> out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, who were invited<S>7121</S>, and went<S>1980</S> in their simplicity<S>8537</S>; and they didn<S>3045</S>'t know anything<S>1697</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Ahithophel<S>302</S> the Gilonite<S>1526</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s counselor<S>3289</S>, from his city<S>5892</S>, even from Giloh<S>1542</S>, while he was offering<S>2076</S> the sacrifices<S>2077</S>. The conspiracy<S>7195</S> was strong<S>533</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> increased<S>7227</S> continually<S>1980</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
A messenger<S>5046</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to all his servants<S>5650</S> who were with him at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, "Arise<S>6965</S>, and let us flee<S>1272</S>; for else none of us shall escape<S>6413</S> from<S>6440</S> Absalom<S>53</S>. Make speed<S>4116</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, lest he overtake<S>5381</S> us quickly<S>4116</S>, and bring<S>5080</S> down evil<S>7451</S> on us<S>5221</S>, and strike the city<S>5892</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Behold<S>5650</S>, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> chooses<S>977</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all his household<S>1004</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>4428</S>. The king left<S>5800</S> ten<S>6235</S> women<S>802</S>, who were concubines<S>6370</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>5975</S>; and they stayed in Beth<S>1004</S> Merhak<S>4801</S>.


text:
All his servants<S>5650</S> passed on<S>5674</S> beside<S>3027</S> him<S>3774</S>; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, and all the Gittites<S>1663</S>, six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> who came<S>935</S> after<S>7272</S> him from Gath<S>1661</S>, passed on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>, "Why do you also go<S>3212</S> with us<S>7725</S>? Return, and stay<S>3427</S> with the king<S>4428</S>; for you are a foreigner<S>5237</S>, and also an exile<S>1540</S>. Return to your own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Whereas you came<S>935</S> but yesterday<S>8543</S>, should I this day<S>3117</S> make you go<S>3212</S> up and down<S>5128</S> with us<S>1980</S>, since I go where I may<S>7725</S>? Return, and take back<S>7725</S> your brothers<S>251</S>. Mercy<S>2617</S> and truth be with you<S>571</S>."


text:
Ittai<S>863</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as my lord<S>3068</S> the king<S>4428</S> lives<S>2416</S>, surely in what place<S>4725</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall is<S>4194</S>, whether for death or for life<S>2416</S>, even there also will your servant be<S>5650</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Ittai<S>863</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> and pass over<S>5674</S>." Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, and all the little ones who were with him<S>2945</S>.


text:
All the country<S>776</S> wept<S>1058</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>: the king<S>4428</S> also himself passed over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, toward<S>6440</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6659</S>, Zadok also came<S>3881</S>, and all the Levites with him<S>5375</S>, bearing the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>; and they set down<S>3332</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>; and Abiathar<S>54</S> went up<S>5927</S>, until all the people<S>5971</S> finished<S>8552</S> passing<S>5674</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Zadok<S>6659</S>, "Carry back<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> into the city<S>5892</S>. If I find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he will bring me again<S>7725</S>, and show<S>7200</S> me both it<S>5116</S>, and his habitation;


text:
but if he say<S>559</S> thus<S>2654</S>, 'I have no delight in you<S>6213</S>;' behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems<S>5869</S> good to him<S>2896</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> also to Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, "Aren<S>7200</S>'t you a seer? Return<S>7725</S> into the city<S>5892</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> with you<S>290</S>, Ahimaaz your son<S>1121</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
Behold<S>7200</S>, I will stay<S>4102</S> at the fords<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, until word<S>1697</S> comes from you to inform me<S>935</S>."


text:
Zadok<S>6659</S> therefore and Abiathar<S>54</S> carried<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and they stayed there<S>3427</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> by the ascent<S>5927</S> of the Mount of Olives<S>2132</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> as he went up<S>5927</S>; and he had his head<S>7218</S> covered<S>2645</S>, and went<S>1980</S> barefoot<S>3182</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> who were with him covered<S>2645</S> every man<S>376</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and they went up<S>5927</S>, weeping<S>1058</S> as they went up<S>5927</S>.


text:
Someone told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Ahithophel<S>302</S> is among the conspirators<S>7194</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>." David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, please turn the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S> into foolishness<S>5528</S>."


text:
It happened that when David<S>1732</S> had come<S>935</S> to the top<S>7218</S>, where God<S>430</S> was worshiped<S>7812</S>, behold<S>2365</S>, Hushai the Archite<S>757</S> came to meet<S>7125</S> him with his coat<S>3801</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> on his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5674</S>, "If you pass on with me<S>4853</S>, then you will be a burden to me;


text:
but if you return<S>7725</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, and tell<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, <S>5650</S> 'I will be your servant, O king<S>4428</S>. As I have been your father<S>1</S>'s servant<S>5650</S> in time past<S>227</S>, so will I now be your servant<S>5650</S>; then will you defeat<S>6565</S> for me the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>.'


text:
Don<S>6659</S>'t you have Zadok and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S> there with you<S>1697</S>? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear<S>8085</S> out of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, you shall tell<S>5046</S> it to Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8147</S>, they have there with them their two sons<S>1121</S>, Ahimaaz<S>290</S>, Zadok<S>6659</S>'s son<S>3083</S>, and Jonathan, Abiathar<S>54</S>'s son<S>3027</S>; and by them you shall send<S>7971</S> to me everything<S>1697</S> that you shall hear<S>8085</S>."


text:
So Hushai<S>2365</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S>, came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; and Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> into Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
When David<S>1732</S> was a little<S>4592</S> past<S>5674</S> the top<S>7218</S>, behold<S>6717</S>, Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> met<S>7125</S> him<S>6776</S>, with a couple of donkeys<S>2543</S> saddled<S>2280</S>, and on them two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>, and one hundred<S>3967</S> clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>, and one hundred<S>3967</S> summer fruits<S>7019</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Ziba<S>6717</S>, What do you mean by these<S>6717</S>? Ziba said<S>559</S>, The donkeys<S>2543</S> are for the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S> to ride on<S>7392</S>; and the bread<S>3899</S> and summer fruit<S>7019</S> for the young men<S>5288</S> to eat<S>398</S>; and the wine<S>3196</S>, that such as are faint<S>3287</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> may drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Where is your master<S>113</S>'s son<S>1121</S>?" Ziba<S>6717</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Behold<S>3389</S>, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said<S>559</S>, <S>3117</S> 'Today the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> will restore<S>7725</S> me the kingdom<S>4468</S> of my father<S>1</S>.'"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Ziba<S>6717</S>, "Behold<S>4648</S>, all that pertains to Mephibosheth is yours<S>6717</S>." Ziba said<S>559</S>, "I do obeisance<S>7812</S>. Let me find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>."


text:
When king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Bahurim<S>980</S>, behold<S>376</S>, a man of the family<S>4940</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> came out<S>3318</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Shimei<S>8096</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>. He came out<S>3318</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> still as he came<S>3318</S>.


text:
He cast<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at David<S>1732</S>, and at all the servants<S>5650</S> of king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> and all the mighty men<S>1368</S> were on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
Shimei<S>8096</S> said<S>559</S> when he cursed<S>7043</S>, "Be gone<S>3318</S>, be gone<S>3318</S>, you man<S>376</S> of blood<S>1818</S>, and base<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>!


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> has returned<S>7725</S> on you all the blood<S>1818</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, in whose place you have reigned<S>4427</S>! Yahweh<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> your son<S>1121</S>! Behold<S>7451</S>, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man<S>376</S> of blood<S>1818</S>!"


text:
Then Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Why should this dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S> curse<S>7043</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>? Please let me go over<S>5674</S> and take off<S>5493</S> his head<S>7218</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, you sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>? Because he curses<S>7043</S>, and because Yahweh<S>3068</S> has said<S>559</S> to him<S>7043</S>, 'Curse David<S>1732</S>;' who then shall say<S>559</S>, <S>6213</S> 'Why have you done so?'"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, "Behold<S>1121</S>, my son, who came forth<S>3318</S> from my bowels<S>4578</S>, seeks<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>. How much more this Benjamite<S>1145</S>, now<S>3240</S>? Leave him alone, and let him curse<S>7043</S>; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has invited him<S>559</S>.


text:
It may be that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will look<S>7200</S> on the wrong<S>5869</S> done to me<S>3068</S>, and that Yahweh will repay<S>7725</S> me good<S>2896</S> for the cursing<S>7045</S> of me today<S>3117</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S>; and Shimei<S>8096</S> went along<S>1980</S> on the<S>2022</S> hillside<S>6763</S> opposite<S>5980</S> him<S>7043</S>, and cursed as he went<S>1980</S>, threw<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at<S>5980</S> him<S>5619</S>, and threw dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>935</S>, came weary<S>5889</S>; and he refreshed himself there<S>5314</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Ahithophel with him<S>302</S>.


text:
It happened<S>2365</S>, when Hushai the Archite<S>757</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S>, had come<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, that Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>! Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>!"


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to Hushai<S>2365</S>, "Is this your kindness<S>2617</S> to your friend<S>7453</S>? Why didn<S>1980</S>'t you go with your friend<S>7453</S>?"


text:
Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "No<S>3068</S>; but whomever Yahweh, and this people<S>5971</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have chosen<S>977</S>, his will I be<S>3427</S>, and with him I will stay.


text:
Again<S>8145</S>, whom should I serve<S>5647</S>? Shouldn<S>6440</S>'t I serve in the presence of his son<S>1121</S>? As I have served<S>5647</S> in your father<S>1</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, so will I be in your presence<S>6440</S>."


text:
Then Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahithophel<S>302</S>, "Give<S>3051</S> your counsel<S>6098</S> what we shall do<S>6213</S>."


text:
Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "Go in<S>935</S> to your father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S>, that he has left<S>3240</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>. Then all Israel<S>3478</S> will hear<S>8085</S> that you are abhorred<S>887</S> by your father<S>1</S>. Then the hands<S>3027</S> of all who are with you will be strong<S>2388</S>."


text:
So they spread<S>5186</S> Absalom<S>53</S> a tent<S>168</S> on the top of the house<S>1406</S>; and Absalom<S>53</S> went in<S>935</S> to his father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
The counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, which he gave<S>3289</S> in those days<S>3117</S>, was as if a man<S>376</S> inquired<S>7592</S> at the oracle<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>: so was all the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S> both with David<S>1732</S> and with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Moreover Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "Let me now choose<S>977</S> twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and I will arise<S>6965</S> and pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> tonight<S>3915</S>.


text:
I will come<S>935</S> on him while he is weary<S>3023</S> and exhausted<S>7504</S>, <S>3027</S> and will make him afraid<S>2729</S>. All the people<S>5971</S> who are with him shall flee<S>5127</S>. I will strike<S>5221</S> the king only<S>4428</S>;

and I will bring back<S>7725</S> all the people<S>5971</S> to you<S>376</S>. The man whom you seek<S>1245</S> is as if all returned<S>7725</S>. All the people<S>5971</S> shall be in peace<S>7965</S>."


text:
The saying<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3474</S> Absalom<S>53</S> well<S>5869</S>, and all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S>, "Now call<S>7121</S> Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> also<S>8085</S>, and let us hear likewise what he says<S>6310</S>."


text:
When Hushai<S>2365</S> had come<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> spoke<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "Ahithophel<S>302</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> like this<S>1697</S>. Shall we do<S>6213</S> what he says<S>1697</S>? If not<S>1696</S>, speak up."


text:
Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, "The counsel<S>6098</S> that Ahithophel<S>302</S> has given<S>3289</S> this time<S>6471</S> is not good<S>2896</S>."


text:
Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>3045</S>, "You know your father<S>1</S> and his men<S>582</S>, that they are mighty men<S>1368</S>, and they are fierce<S>4751</S> in their minds<S>5315</S>, like a bear<S>1677</S> robbed<S>7909</S> of her cubs in the field<S>7704</S>. Your father<S>1</S> is a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and will not lodge<S>3885</S> with the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Behold<S>2244</S>, he is now hidden in some<S>259</S> pit<S>6354</S>, or in some<S>259</S> other place<S>4725</S>. It will happen<S>5307</S>, when some of them have fallen at the first<S>8462</S>, that whoever<S>8085</S> hears<S>8085</S> it will say<S>559</S>, <S>4046</S> 'There is a slaughter among the people<S>5971</S> who follow<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>!'


text:
Even he who is valiant<S>1121</S>, whose heart<S>3820</S> is as the heart<S>3820</S> of a lion<S>738</S>, will utterly<S>4549</S> melt<S>4549</S>; for all Israel<S>3478</S> knows<S>3045</S> that your father<S>1</S> is a mighty man<S>1368</S>, and those who are with him are valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>.


text:
But I counsel<S>3289</S> that all Israel<S>3478</S> be gathered<S>622</S> together<S>622</S> to you<S>1835</S>, from Dan even to Beersheba<S>884</S>, as the sand<S>2344</S> that is by the sea<S>3220</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; and that you go<S>1980</S> to battle<S>7128</S> in your own person<S>6440</S>.


text:
So shall we come<S>935</S> on him in some<S>259</S> place<S>4725</S> where he shall be found<S>4672</S>, and we will light<S>5168</S> on him as the dew<S>2919</S> falls<S>5307</S> on the ground<S>127</S>; and of him and of all the men<S>582</S> who are with him we will not leave<S>3498</S> so much as<S>1571</S> one<S>259</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>518</S>, if he be gone<S>622</S> into a city<S>5892</S>, then shall all Israel<S>3478</S> bring<S>5375</S> ropes<S>2256</S> to that city<S>5892</S>, and we will draw<S>5498</S> it into the river<S>5158</S>, until there isn<S>1571</S>'t one small stone<S>6872</S> found there<S>4672</S>."


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "The counsel<S>6098</S> of Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> is better<S>2896</S> than the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>." For Yahweh<S>3068</S> had ordained<S>6680</S> to defeat<S>6565</S> the good<S>2896</S> counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, to the intent<S>5668</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> might bring<S>935</S> evil<S>7451</S> on Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Then Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> to Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, "Ahithophel<S>302</S> counseled<S>3289</S> Absalom<S>53</S> and the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that way<S>3289</S>; and I have counseled this way.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S> quickly<S>4120</S>, and tell<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3885</S> 'Don't lodge this night<S>3915</S> at the fords<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, but by all means<S>5674</S> pass over<S>5674</S>; lest the king<S>4428</S> be swallowed up<S>1104</S>, and all the people who are with him<S>5971</S>.'"


text:
Now Jonathan<S>3083</S> and Ahimaaz<S>290</S> were staying<S>5975</S> by En Rogel<S>5883</S>; and a female servant<S>8198</S> used to go<S>1980</S> and tell<S>5046</S> them<S>1980</S>; and they went and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>. For they might<S>3201</S> not be seen<S>7200</S> to come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
But a boy<S>5288</S> saw<S>7200</S> them<S>5046</S>, and told Absalom<S>53</S>. Then they both<S>8147</S> went<S>3212</S> away quickly<S>4120</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of a man<S>376</S> in Bahurim<S>980</S>, who had a well<S>875</S> in his court<S>2691</S>; and they went down<S>3381</S> there<S>8033</S>.


text:
The woman<S>802</S> took<S>3947</S> and spread<S>6566</S> the covering<S>4539</S> over the well<S>875</S>'s mouth<S>6440</S>, and spread<S>7849</S> out bruised grain<S>7383</S> on it<S>1697</S>; and nothing was known<S>3045</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> to the woman<S>802</S> to the house<S>1004</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, "Where are Ahimaaz<S>290</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S>?" The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>5674</S>, "They have gone over the brook<S>4323</S> of water<S>4325</S>." When they had sought<S>1245</S> and could not find<S>4672</S> them<S>7725</S>, they returned to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
It happened<S>310</S>, after they had departed<S>3212</S>, that they came up<S>5927</S> out<S>3212</S> of the well<S>875</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>; and they said<S>5046</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Arise<S>6965</S> and pass quickly<S>4120</S> over<S>5674</S> the water<S>4325</S>; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you<S>302</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>5674</S>, and they passed over the Jordan<S>3383</S>. By the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> there lacked<S>5737</S> not one<S>259</S> of them who had not gone over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
When Ahithophel<S>302</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his counsel<S>6098</S> was not followed<S>6213</S>, he saddled<S>2280</S> his donkey<S>2543</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and went home<S>3212</S>, to his<S>1004</S> city<S>5892</S>, and set his house<S>3212</S> in order<S>6680</S>, and hanged<S>2614</S> himself<S>4191</S>; and he died, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the tomb<S>6913</S> of his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>. Absalom<S>53</S> passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, he and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel with him<S>3478</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> set<S>7760</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> over the army<S>6635</S> instead of Joab<S>3097</S>. Now Amasa<S>6021</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of a man<S>376</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Ithra<S>3501</S> the Israelite<S>3481</S>, who went in<S>935</S> to Abigail<S>26</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, sister<S>269</S> to Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s mother<S>517</S>.


text:
Israel<S>3478</S> and Absalom<S>53</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
It happened<S>1732</S>, when David had come<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>, that Shobi<S>7629</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S> of Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and Machir<S>4353</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammiel<S>5988</S> of Lodebar<S>3810</S>, and Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> of Rogelim<S>7274</S>,


text:
brought<S>5066</S> beds<S>4904</S>, basins<S>5592</S>, earthen<S>3335</S> vessels<S>3627</S>, wheat<S>2406</S>, barley<S>8184</S>, meal<S>7058</S>, parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>6321</S>, beans, lentils<S>5742</S>, roasted grain<S>7039</S>,


text:
honey<S>1706</S>, butter<S>2529</S>, sheep<S>6629</S>, and cheese<S>8194</S> of the herd<S>1241</S>, for David<S>1732</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>398</S>, to eat: for they said<S>559</S>, "The people<S>5971</S> are hungry<S>7457</S>, and weary<S>5889</S>, and thirsty<S>6771</S>, in the wilderness<S>4057</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>7760</S>, and set captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds over them<S>3967</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent forth<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S>, a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>. The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, "I will surely<S>3318</S> go forth<S>3318</S> with you myself also<S>589</S>."


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S>, "You shall not go forth<S>3318</S>; for if we flee<S>5127</S> away<S>5127</S>, they will not care<S>7760</S> for us<S>2677</S>; neither if half of us die<S>4191</S>, will they care<S>7760</S> for us<S>3644</S>. But you are worth ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of us<S>2896</S>. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help<S>5826</S> us out of the city<S>5892</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>6213</S>, "I will do what seems<S>5869</S> best<S>3190</S> to you<S>4428</S>." The king stood<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> the gate<S>8179</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S> and by thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Deal gently<S>328</S> for my sake with the young man<S>5288</S>, even with Absalom<S>53</S>." All the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> when the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> all the captains<S>8269</S> concerning<S>1697</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> was in the forest<S>3293</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
The people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were struck<S>5062</S> there before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> there that day<S>3117</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> thousand men<S>505</S>.


text:
For the battle<S>4421</S> was there spread<S>6327</S> over the surface<S>6440</S> of all the country<S>776</S>; and the forest<S>3293</S> devoured<S>398</S> more<S>7235</S> people<S>5971</S> that day<S>3117</S> than the sword<S>2719</S> devoured<S>398</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> happened to meet<S>7122</S> the servants<S>6440</S> of David<S>1732</S>. Absalom<S>53</S> was riding<S>7392</S> on his mule<S>6505</S>, and the mule<S>6505</S> went<S>935</S> under the thick boughs<S>7730</S> of a great<S>1419</S> oak<S>424</S>, and his head<S>7218</S> caught hold<S>2388</S> of the oak<S>424</S>, and he was taken up<S>5414</S> between the sky<S>8064</S> and earth<S>776</S>; and the mule<S>6505</S> that was under him went on<S>5674</S>.


text:
A certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5046</S>, and told Joab<S>3097</S>, and said<S>5046</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, I saw Absalom<S>53</S> hanging<S>8518</S> in an oak<S>424</S>."


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> who told<S>559</S> him<S>7200</S>, "Behold, you saw it<S>5221</S>, and why didn't you strike him there to the ground<S>776</S>? I would have given<S>5414</S> you ten<S>6235</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and a<S>259</S> sash<S>2290</S>."


text:
The man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "Though<S>3863</S> I should receive<S>8254</S> a thousand<S>505</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, I still wouldn<S>7971</S>'t put forth my hand<S>3709</S> against the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>; for in our hearing<S>241</S> the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> you and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>8104</S> 'Beware that none touch the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.'


text:
Otherwise<S>176</S> if I had dealt<S>6213</S> falsely<S>8267</S> against his life<S>5315</S> (and there is no matter<S>1697</S> hidden<S>3582</S> from the king<S>4428</S>), then you yourself would have set yourself against me<S>3320</S>."


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, "I<S>3176</S>'m not going to wait like this with you<S>6440</S>." He took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> darts<S>7626</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and thrust<S>8628</S> them through the heart<S>3820</S> of Absalom<S>53</S>, while he was yet alive<S>2416</S> in the midst of the oak<S>424</S>.


text:
Ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S> who bore<S>5375</S> Joab<S>3097</S>'s armor<S>3627</S> surrounded<S>5437</S> and struck<S>5221</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and killed him<S>5221</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; for Joab<S>3097</S> held back<S>2820</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
They took<S>3947</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him into the great<S>1419</S> pit<S>6354</S> in the forest<S>3293</S>, and raised<S>5324</S> over him a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> heap<S>1530</S> of stones<S>68</S>. Then all Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> everyone<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
Now Absalom<S>53</S> in his lifetime<S>2416</S> had taken<S>3947</S> and reared up<S>5324</S> for himself the pillar<S>4678</S>, which is in the king<S>4428</S>'s dale<S>6010</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, "I have no son<S>1121</S> to keep my name<S>8034</S> in memory<S>2142</S>." He called<S>7121</S> the pillar<S>4678</S> after his own name<S>8034</S>; and it is called<S>7121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s monument<S>3027</S>, to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S> said<S>559</S>, "Let me now run<S>7323</S>, and bear<S>1319</S> the king<S>4428</S> news<S>1319</S>, how that Yahweh<S>3068</S> has avenged<S>8199</S> him of his enemies<S>3027</S>."


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>376</S>, "You shall not be the bearer of news<S>1309</S> this day<S>3117</S>, but you shall bear news<S>1319</S> another<S>312</S> day<S>3117</S>. But today<S>3117</S> you shall bear no news<S>1319</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S> is dead<S>4191</S>."


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> to the Cushite<S>3569</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> what you have seen<S>7200</S>!" The Cushite<S>3569</S> bowed<S>7812</S> himself to Joab<S>3097</S>, and ran<S>7323</S>.

Then Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S> said<S>559</S> yet again<S>3254</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "But come what may<S>4100</S>, please let me also run<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> the Cushite<S>3569</S>." Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, "Why do you want to run<S>7323</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, since that you will have no reward<S>4672</S> for the news<S>1309</S>?"


text:
"But come what may<S>559</S>," he said, "I will run<S>7323</S>." He said<S>559</S> to him<S>7323</S>, "Run!" Then Ahimaaz<S>290</S> ran<S>7323</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the Plain<S>3603</S>, and outran the Cushite<S>3569</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> between the two<S>8147</S> gates<S>8179</S>: and the watchman<S>6822</S> went up<S>3212</S> to the roof<S>1406</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> to the wall<S>2346</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>376</S>, behold, a man running alone<S>7323</S>.


text:
The watchman<S>6822</S> cried<S>7121</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>. The king<S>4428</S> said<S>5046</S>, "If he is alone<S>1309</S>, there is news in his mouth<S>6310</S>." He came<S>3212</S> closer<S>1980</S> and closer<S>7131</S>.


text:
The watchman<S>6822</S> saw<S>7200</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S> running<S>7323</S>; and the watchman<S>6822</S> called<S>7121</S> to the porter<S>7778</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>376</S>, a man running<S>7323</S> alone<S>4428</S>!" The king said<S>559</S>, "He also brings news<S>1319</S>."


text:
The watchman<S>6822</S> said<S>559</S>, "I think<S>7200</S> the running<S>4794</S> of the first<S>7223</S> one is like the running<S>4794</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>." The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "He is a good<S>2896</S> man<S>376</S>, and comes<S>935</S> with good<S>2896</S> news<S>1309</S>."


text:
Ahimaaz<S>290</S> called<S>7121</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "All is well<S>7965</S>." He bowed<S>7812</S> himself before the king<S>4428</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, who has delivered up<S>5462</S> the men<S>582</S> who lifted up<S>5462</S> their hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>!"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Is it well<S>7965</S> with the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>?" Ahimaaz<S>290</S> answered<S>559</S>, "When Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s servant<S>5650</S>, even me your servant<S>5650</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> a great<S>1419</S> tumult<S>1995</S>, but I don<S>3045</S>'t know what it was."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Turn aside<S>5437</S>, and stand<S>3320</S> here<S>3541</S>." He turned aside<S>5437</S>, and stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3569</S>, the Cushite came<S>935</S>. The Cushite<S>3569</S> said<S>559</S>, "News<S>1319</S> for my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; for Yahweh<S>113</S> has avenged<S>8199</S> you this day<S>3117</S> of all those<S>3027</S> who rose up against you<S>6965</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to the Cushite<S>3569</S>, "Is it well<S>7965</S> with the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>?" The Cushite<S>3569</S> answered<S>559</S>, "May the enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and all who rise<S>6965</S> up against you to do you harm<S>7451</S>, be as that young man is<S>5288</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> was much moved<S>7264</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to the room<S>5944</S> over the gate<S>8179</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>. As he went<S>3212</S>, he said<S>559</S>, "My son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>! My son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>! I wish I had died<S>4191</S> for you<S>5414</S>, Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!"


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, "Behold<S>4428</S>, the king weeps<S>1058</S> and mourns<S>56</S> for Absalom<S>53</S>."


text:
The victory<S>8668</S> that day<S>3117</S> was turned into mourning<S>60</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> it said<S>559</S> that day<S>3117</S>, "The king<S>4428</S> grieves<S>6087</S> for his son<S>1121</S>."


text:
The people<S>5971</S> sneaked<S>1589</S> into<S>935</S> the city<S>5892</S> that day<S>3117</S>, as people<S>5971</S> who are ashamed<S>3637</S> steal away<S>1589</S> when they flee<S>5127</S> in battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> covered<S>3813</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, "My son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!"


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "You have shamed<S>3001</S> this day<S>3117</S> the faces<S>6440</S> of all your servants<S>5650</S>, who this day<S>3117</S> have saved<S>4422</S> your life<S>5315</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your sons<S>1121</S> and of your daughters<S>1323</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your wives<S>802</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your concubines<S>6370</S>;


text:
in that you love<S>157</S> those who hate<S>8130</S> you<S>8130</S>, and hate those who love<S>157</S> you<S>5046</S>. For you have declared this day<S>3117</S>, that princes<S>8269</S> and servants<S>5650</S> are nothing to you<S>3117</S>. For today I perceive<S>3045</S> that if<S>3863</S> Absalom<S>53</S> had lived<S>2416</S>, and all we had died<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>, then it would have pleased you well<S>3477</S>.


text:
Now therefore arise<S>6965</S>, go out<S>3318</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> to comfort<S>3820</S> your servants<S>5650</S>; for I swear<S>7650</S> by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, if you don<S>3318</S>'t go out, not a man<S>3885</S> will stay<S>3885</S> with you this night<S>3915</S>. That would be worse<S>7489</S> to you than all the evil<S>7451</S> that has happened<S>935</S> to you from your youth until now<S>5271</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>. They told<S>5046</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>4428</S>, the king is sitting<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>." All the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> had fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
All the people<S>5971</S> were at strife<S>1777</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The king<S>4428</S> delivered<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and he saved<S>4422</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and now he has fled<S>1272</S> out of the land<S>776</S> from Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S>, whom we anointed<S>4886</S> over us<S>4191</S>, is dead in battle<S>4421</S>. Now therefore why don<S>2790</S>'t you speak a word of bringing<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S>?"


text:
King<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Speak<S>1696</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>314</S> 'Why are you the last to bring<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S>? Since the speech<S>1697</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S> has come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, to return him to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
You are my brothers<S>251</S>, you are my bone<S>6106</S> and my flesh<S>1320</S>. Why then are you the last<S>314</S> to bring back<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S>?'


text:
Say<S>559</S> to Amasa<S>6021</S>, <S>6106</S> 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh<S>1320</S>? God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>8269</S>, if you aren't captain of the army<S>6635</S> before<S>6440</S> me continually<S>3117</S> in the room<S>8478</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>.'"


text:
He bowed<S>5186</S> the heart<S>3824</S> of all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>; so that they sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>7725</S>, "Return, you and all your servants<S>5650</S>."


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the Jordan<S>3383</S>. Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, to go<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, to bring<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S> over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, the Benjamite<S>1145</S>, who was of Bahurim<S>980</S>, hurried<S>4116</S> and came down<S>3381</S> with the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
There were a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1145</S> with him<S>6717</S>, and Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and his fifteen<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> and his twenty<S>6242</S> servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>6743</S>; and they went through the Jordan<S>3383</S> in the presence<S>6440</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
A ferry boat<S>5679</S> went<S>5674</S> to bring over<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> what he thought<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S>. Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S> fell down<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, when he had come over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Don<S>113</S>'t let my lord impute<S>2803</S> iniquity<S>5771</S> to me<S>2142</S>, nor remember that which your servant<S>5650</S> did perversely<S>5753</S> the day<S>3117</S> that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> should take<S>7760</S> it to his heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
For your servant<S>5650</S> knows<S>3045</S> that I have sinned<S>2398</S>. Therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I have come this day<S>3117</S> the first<S>7223</S> of all the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
But Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Shall Shimei<S>8096</S> not be put to death<S>4191</S> for this<S>7043</S>, because he cursed Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, you sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, that you should this day<S>3117</S> be adversaries<S>7854</S> to me<S>376</S>? Shall there any man be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? For don<S>3045</S>'t I know that I am this day<S>3117</S> king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Shimei<S>8096</S>, "You shall not die<S>4191</S>." The king<S>4428</S> swore to him<S>7650</S>.


text:
Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and he had neither<S>3808</S> groomed<S>6213</S> his feet<S>7272</S>, nor trimmed<S>6213</S> his beard<S>8222</S>, nor washed<S>3526</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, from the day<S>3117</S> the king<S>4428</S> departed<S>3212</S> until the day<S>3117</S> he came<S>935</S> home in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
It happened<S>935</S>, when he had come to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1980</S>, "Why didn't you go with me<S>4648</S>, Mephibosheth?"


text:
He answered<S>559</S>, "My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, my servant<S>5650</S> deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>5650</S>. For your servant said<S>559</S>, I will saddle<S>2280</S> me a donkey<S>2543</S>, that I may ride<S>7392</S> thereon<S>3212</S>, and go with the king<S>4428</S>; because your servant<S>5650</S> is lame<S>6455</S>.


text:
He has slandered<S>7270</S> your servant<S>5650</S> to my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; but my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> is as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>. Do<S>6213</S> therefore what is good<S>2896</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
For all my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> were but<S>3808</S> dead<S>4194</S> men<S>582</S> before my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; yet you set<S>7896</S> your servant<S>5650</S> among those who ate<S>398</S> at your own table<S>7979</S>. What right<S>6666</S> therefore have<S>3426</S> I yet that I should cry<S>2199</S> any more to the king<S>4428</S>?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1696</S>, "Why do you speak any more of your matters<S>1697</S>? I say<S>559</S>, you and Ziba<S>6717</S> divide<S>2505</S> the land<S>7704</S>."


text:
Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Yes<S>3947</S>, let him take all<S>310</S>, because <S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has come<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>."


text:
Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> came down<S>3381</S> from Rogelim<S>7274</S>; and he went over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>, to conduct<S>7971</S> him over the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Now Barzillai<S>1271</S> was a very<S>3966</S> aged<S>2204</S> man<S>8084</S>, even eighty years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>: and he had provided the king<S>4428</S> with sustenance<S>3557</S> while he lay<S>7871</S> at Mahanaim<S>4266</S>; for he was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Barzillai<S>1271</S>, "Come over<S>5674</S> with me<S>3557</S>, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>."


text:
Barzillai<S>1271</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "How many<S>3117</S> are the days of the years of my life<S>8141</S>, that I should go up<S>5927</S> with the king<S>4428</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
I am this day<S>3117</S> eighty<S>8084</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>. Can I discern<S>3045</S> between good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>? Can your servant<S>5650</S> taste<S>2938</S> what<S>834</S> I eat<S>398</S> or what<S>834</S> I drink<S>8354</S>? Can I hear<S>8085</S> any more the voice<S>6963</S> of singing men<S>7891</S> and singing women<S>7891</S>? Why then should your servant<S>5650</S> be yet a burden<S>4853</S> to my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
Your servant<S>5650</S> would but just<S>4592</S> go<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>. Why should the king<S>4428</S> repay<S>1580</S> me with such a reward<S>1578</S>?

Please let your servant<S>5650</S> turn back again<S>7725</S>, that I may die<S>4191</S> in my own city<S>5892</S>, by the grave<S>6913</S> of my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>. But behold<S>5650</S>, your servant Chimham<S>3643</S>; let him go over<S>5674</S> with my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and do<S>6213</S> to him what shall seem good to you<S>2896</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> answered<S>559</S>, "Chimham<S>3643</S> shall go<S>5674</S> over with me<S>6213</S>, and I will do to him that which shall seem good<S>2896</S> to you<S>977</S>. Whatever you require of me<S>6213</S>, that I will do for you."


text:
All the people<S>5971</S> went over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> went over<S>5674</S>. Then the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Barzillai<S>1271</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> him<S>7725</S>; and he returned to his own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> went over<S>5674</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Chimham<S>3643</S> went over<S>5674</S> with him<S>5971</S>. All the people of Judah<S>3063</S> brought<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S> over<S>2677</S>, and also half the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Behold<S>376</S>, all the men of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Why have our brothers<S>251</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> stolen you away<S>1589</S>, and brought<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and his household<S>1004</S>, over the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and all David<S>1732</S>'s men with him<S>582</S>?"


text:
All the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Because the king<S>4428</S> is a close relative<S>7138</S> to us<S>2734</S>. Why then are you angry about this matter<S>1697</S>? Have we eaten<S>398</S> at all<S>398</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s cost<S>5375</S>? Or has he given us any gift<S>5379</S>?"


text:
The men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "We have ten<S>6235</S> parts<S>3027</S> in the king<S>4428</S>, and we<S>589</S> have also more claim to David<S>1732</S> than you<S>7043</S>. Why then did you despise us<S>1697</S>, that our advice should not be first<S>7223</S> had in bringing back<S>7725</S> our king<S>4428</S>?" The words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were fiercer<S>7185</S> than the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened after this<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Shall I go up<S>5927</S> into any<S>259</S> of the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?" Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5927</S>, "Go up." David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Where shall I go up<S>5927</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "To Hebron<S>2275</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> there<S>8147</S>, and his two wives<S>802</S> also<S>293</S>, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> brought up<S>5927</S> his men<S>582</S> who were with him<S>376</S>, every man with his household<S>1004</S>. They lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S>, and there they anointed<S>4886</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>. They told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The men<S>582</S> of Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</S> were those who buried<S>6912</S> Saul<S>7586</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>1288</S>, "Blessed are you by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that you have shown<S>6213</S> this kindness<S>2617</S> to your lord<S>113</S>, even to Saul<S>7586</S>, and have buried him<S>6912</S>.


text:
Now may Yahweh<S>3068</S> show<S>6213</S> loving kindness<S>2617</S> and truth<S>571</S> to you<S>6213</S>. I also will reward you for this kindness<S>2896</S>, because you have done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Now therefore let your hands<S>3027</S> be strong<S>2388</S>, and be valiant<S>1121</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> your lord<S>113</S> is dead<S>4191</S>, and also the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> have anointed<S>4886</S> me king over them<S>4428</S>."


text:
Now Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s army<S>6635</S>, had taken<S>3947</S> Ishbosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and brought him over<S>5674</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>;


text:
and he made him king<S>4427</S> over Gilead<S>1568</S>, and over the Ashurites<S>805</S>, and over Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and over Ephraim<S>669</S>, and over Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and over all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Ishbosheth<S>378</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, was forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>. But the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> followed<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
The time<S>4557</S> that David<S>1732</S> was king<S>4428</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> and six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of Ishbosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, went out<S>3318</S> from Mahanaim<S>4266</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, went out<S>3318</S>, and met<S>6298</S> them<S>3162</S> by the pool<S>1295</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S>; and they sat down<S>3427</S>, the one on the one side of the pool<S>1295</S>, and the other on the other side of the pool<S>1295</S>.


text:
Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "Please let the young men<S>5288</S> arise<S>6965</S> and play<S>7832</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>3097</S>!" Joab said<S>559</S>, "Let them arise<S>6965</S>!"


text:
Then they arose<S>6965</S> and went over<S>5674</S> by number<S>4557</S>: twelve<S>8147</S> for Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and for Ishbosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
They each<S>376</S> caught<S>2388</S> his opponent<S>7453</S> by the head<S>7218</S>, and thrust his sword<S>2719</S> in his fellow<S>7453</S>'s side<S>6654</S>; so they fell down<S>5307</S> together<S>3162</S>: therefore that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S> Helkath Hazzurim<S>2521</S>, which is in Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
The battle<S>4421</S> was very<S>3966</S> severe<S>7186</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and Abner<S>74</S> was beaten<S>5062</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
The three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> were there<S>3097</S>, Joab, and Abishai<S>52</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>: and Asahel<S>6214</S> was as light<S>7031</S> of foot<S>7272</S> as a<S>259</S> wild<S>7704</S> gazelle<S>6643</S>.


text:
Asahel<S>6214</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>; and in going<S>3212</S> he didn<S>5186</S>'t turn to the right hand<S>3225</S> nor to the left<S>8040</S> from following<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>.


text:
Then Abner<S>74</S> looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Is it you<S>6214</S>, Asahel?" He answered<S>559</S>, "It is I."


text:
Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5186</S>, "Turn aside to your right hand<S>3225</S> or to your left<S>8040</S>, and grab<S>270</S> one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and take<S>3947</S> his armor<S>2488</S>." But Asahel<S>6214</S> would<S>14</S> not turn aside<S>5493</S> from following him<S>310</S>.


text:
Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> again<S>3254</S> to Asahel<S>6214</S>, "Turn aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>5221</S>. Why should I strike you to the ground<S>776</S>? How then should I hold up<S>5375</S> my face<S>6440</S> to Joab<S>3097</S> your brother<S>251</S>?"


text:
However he refused<S>3985</S> to turn aside<S>5493</S>. Therefore Abner<S>74</S> with the back end<S>310</S> of the spear<S>2595</S> struck<S>5221</S> him in<S>413</S> the body<S>2570</S>, so that the spear<S>2595</S> came out<S>3318</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>; and he fell down there<S>4191</S>, and died in the same place<S>8478</S>. It happened<S>935</S>, that as many as came to the place<S>4725</S> where Asahel<S>6214</S> fell down<S>5307</S> and died<S>4191</S> stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
But Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>: and the sun<S>8121</S> went down<S>935</S> when they had come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of Ammah<S>522</S>, that lies before<S>6440</S> Giah<S>1520</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>, and became one<S>259</S> band<S>92</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of a hill<S>1389</S>.


text:
Then Abner<S>74</S> called<S>7121</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Shall the sword<S>2719</S> devour<S>398</S> forever<S>5331</S>? Don<S>3045</S>'t you know that it will be bitterness<S>4751</S> in the latter end<S>314</S>? How long shall it be then<S>559</S>, before you ask the people<S>5971</S> to return<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> their brothers<S>251</S>?"


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, "As God<S>430</S> lives<S>2416</S>, if you had not<S>3884</S> spoken<S>1696</S>, surely then in the morning<S>1242</S> the people<S>5971</S> would have gone away<S>5927</S>, and not each<S>376</S> followed<S>310</S> his brother<S>251</S>."


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> stood still<S>5975</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S> no more<S>3898</S>, neither fought they any more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Abner<S>74</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>1980</S> all that night<S>3915</S> through the Arabah<S>6160</S>; and they passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and went through<S>3212</S> all Bithron<S>1338</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>: and when he had gathered<S>6908</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>6908</S>, there lacked<S>6485</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> nineteen<S>8672</S> men<S>376</S> and Asahel<S>6214</S>.


text:
But the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> had struck<S>5221</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and of Abner<S>74</S>'s men<S>582</S>, so that three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> sixty<S>8346</S> men<S>376</S> died<S>4191</S>.


text:
They took up<S>5375</S> Asahel<S>6214</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in the tomb<S>6913</S> of his father<S>1</S>, which was in Bethlehem<S>1035</S>. Joab<S>3097</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> all night<S>3915</S>, and the day<S>215</S> broke on them at Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
There happened<S>7122</S> to be there a base<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Sheba<S>7652</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>: and he blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "We have no portion<S>2506</S> in David<S>1732</S>, neither have we inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>. Every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> to his tents<S>168</S>, Israel<S>3478</S>!"


text:
So all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> from following<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>, and followed<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>; but the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> joined<S>1692</S> with their king<S>4428</S>, from the Jordan<S>3383</S> even to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to his house<S>1004</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> the ten<S>6235</S> women<S>802</S> his concubines<S>6370</S>, whom he had left<S>3240</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in custody<S>4931</S>, and provided them with sustenance<S>3557</S>, but didn<S>935</S>'t go in to them<S>6887</S>. So they were shut up to the day<S>3117</S> of their death<S>4191</S>, living<S>2424</S> in widowhood<S>491</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Amasa<S>6021</S>, "Call<S>2199</S> me the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> together within three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, and be here present<S>5975</S>."


text:
So Amasa<S>6021</S> went<S>3212</S> to call<S>2199</S> the men of Judah<S>3063</S> together<S>309</S>; but he stayed longer than the set time<S>4150</S> which he had appointed him<S>3259</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, "Now Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S> will do us more harm<S>3415</S> than Absalom<S>53</S> did<S>3947</S>. Take your lord<S>113</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>4672</S>, lest he get himself fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and escape<S>5337</S> out of our sight<S>5869</S>."


text:
There went out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> him Joab<S>3097</S>'s men<S>582</S>, and the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, and all the mighty men<S>1368</S>; and they went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.


text:
When they were at the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S> which is in Gibeon<S>1391</S>, Amasa<S>6021</S> came<S>935</S> to meet<S>6440</S> them<S>3097</S>. Joab was clothed<S>2296</S> in his apparel<S>4055</S> of war that he had put on<S>3830</S>, and on it was a sash<S>2289</S> with a sword<S>2719</S> fastened<S>6775</S> on his waist<S>4975</S> in its sheath<S>8593</S>; and as he went forth<S>3318</S> it fell out<S>3318</S>.


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> to Amasa<S>6021</S>, "Is it well<S>7965</S> with you<S>251</S>, my brother?" Joab<S>3097</S> took<S>270</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> by the beard<S>2206</S> with his right<S>3225</S> hand<S>3027</S> to kiss him<S>5401</S>.


text:
But Amasa<S>6021</S> took no heed<S>8104</S> to the sword<S>2719</S> that was in Joab<S>3097</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>. So he struck<S>5221</S> him with it in the body<S>2570</S>, and shed out<S>8210</S> his bowels<S>4578</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and didn<S>8138</S>'t strike him again; and he died<S>4191</S>. Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.


text:
There stood<S>5975</S> by him one<S>376</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>'s young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "He<S>4310</S> who favors<S>2654</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and he who is for David<S>1732</S>, let him follow<S>310</S> Joab<S>3097</S>!"


text:
Amasa<S>6021</S> lay wallowing<S>1556</S> in his blood<S>1818</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the highway<S>4546</S>. When the man<S>376</S> saw<S>7200</S> that all the people<S>5971</S> stood still<S>5975</S>, he carried<S>5437</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> out of the highway<S>4546</S> into the field<S>7704</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> a garment<S>899</S> over him<S>7200</S>, when he saw that everyone who came<S>935</S> by him stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
When he was removed<S>3014</S> out of the highway<S>4546</S>, all the people<S>376</S> went on<S>5674</S> after<S>310</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, to pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.


text:
He went<S>5674</S> through all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to Abel<S>59</S>, and to Beth Maacah<S>1038</S>, and all the Berites<S>1276</S>: and they were gathered together<S>6950</S>, and went<S>935</S> also after him<S>310</S>.


text:
They came<S>935</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> him in Abel<S>59</S> of Beth Maacah<S>1038</S>, and they cast up<S>8210</S> a mound<S>5550</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and it stood<S>5975</S> against the rampart<S>2426</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> who were with Joab<S>3097</S> battered<S>7843</S> the wall<S>2346</S>, to throw it down<S>5307</S>.


text:
Then a wise<S>2450</S> woman<S>802</S> cried<S>7121</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S>, hear<S>8085</S>! Please say<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, <S>7126</S> 'Come near here<S>1696</S>, that I may speak with you.'"


text:
He came near<S>7126</S> to her<S>802</S>; and the woman said<S>559</S>, "Are you Joab<S>3097</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "I am<S>559</S>." Then she said to him<S>8085</S>, "Hear the words<S>1697</S> of your handmaid<S>519</S>." He answered<S>559</S>, "I do hear<S>8085</S>."


text:
Then she spoke<S>559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "They were used<S>1696</S> to say<S>1696</S> in old times<S>7223</S>, <S>559, 7592</S> 'They shall surely ask<S>7592</S> counsel at Abel<S>59</S>;' and so they settled it<S>8552</S>.


text:
I am among those who are peaceable<S>7999</S> and faithful<S>539</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. You seek<S>1245</S> to destroy<S>4191</S> a city<S>5892</S> and a mother<S>517</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Why will you swallow up<S>1104</S> the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>?"


text:
Joab<S>3097</S> answered<S>6030</S>, <S>559</S> "Far be it<S>2486</S>, far be it<S>2486</S> from me<S>1104</S>, that I should swallow up or destroy<S>7843</S>.


text:
The matter<S>1697</S> is not so<S>376</S>. But a man of the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S> by name<S>8034</S>, has lifted up<S>5375</S> his hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>, even against David<S>1732</S>. Deliver<S>5414</S> him only<S>3212</S>, and I will depart from the city<S>5892</S>." The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, "Behold<S>7218</S>, his head shall be thrown<S>7993</S> to you over<S>1157</S> the wall<S>2346</S>."


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> went<S>935</S> to all the people<S>5971</S> in her wisdom<S>2451</S>. They cut off<S>3772</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>, and threw<S>7993</S> it out to Joab<S>3097</S>. He blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and they were dispersed<S>6327</S> from the city<S>5892</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>. Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> was over all the army<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> was over the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and over the Pelethites<S>6432</S>;


text:
and Adoram<S>151</S> was over the men subject to forced labor<S>4522</S>; and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahilud<S>286</S> was the recorder<S>2142</S>;


text:
and Sheva<S>7864</S> was scribe<S>5608</S>; and Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> were priests<S>3548</S>;


text:
There was a famine<S>7458</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, year<S>8141</S> after<S>310</S> year<S>8141</S>; and David<S>1732</S> sought<S>1245</S> the face of<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "It is for Saul<S>7586</S>, and for his bloody<S>1818</S> house<S>1004</S>, because he put to death<S>4191</S> the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> called<S>7121</S> the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>1393</S> (now the Gibeonites were not of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, but of the remnant<S>3499</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> to them<S>7586</S>: and Saul sought<S>1245</S> to kill<S>5221</S> them in his zeal<S>7065</S> for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>);


text:
and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, "What shall I do<S>6213</S> for you<S>3722</S>? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless<S>1288</S> the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>?"


text:
The Gibeonites<S>1393</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5973</S>, "It is no matter of silver<S>3701</S> or gold<S>2091</S> between us and Saul<S>7586</S>, or his house<S>1004</S>; neither is it for us to put any man<S>376</S> to death<S>4191</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "Whatever you say<S>559</S>, that will I do for you<S>6213</S>."


text:
They said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "The man<S>376</S> who consumed<S>3615</S> us<S>1819</S>, and who devised against us<S>8045</S>, that we should be destroyed from remaining<S>3320</S> in any of the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
let seven<S>7651</S> men<S>582</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> be delivered<S>5414</S> to us<S>3363</S>, and we will hang them up to Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, the chosen<S>972</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>." The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "I will give them<S>5414</S>."


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> spared<S>2550</S> Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, because of Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s oath<S>7621</S> that was between them<S>1732</S>, between David and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S>, whom she bore<S>3205</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Armoni<S>764</S> and Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>; and the five<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Michal<S>4324</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, whom she bore<S>3205</S> to Adriel<S>5741</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Meholathite<S>4259</S>.


text:
He delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, and they hanged<S>3363</S> them in the mountain<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and all seven<S>7651</S> of them fell<S>5307</S> together<S>3162</S>. They were put to death<S>4191</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of harvest<S>7105</S>, in the first<S>7223</S> days<S>8462</S>, at the beginning of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S>.


text:
Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S> took<S>3947</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and spread<S>5186</S> it for her on the rock<S>6697</S>, from the beginning<S>8462</S> of harvest<S>7105</S> until water<S>4325</S> was poured<S>5413</S> on them from the sky<S>8064</S>. She allowed<S>5414</S> neither the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S> to rest<S>5117</S> on them by day<S>3119</S>, nor the animals<S>2416</S> of the field<S>7704</S> by night<S>3915</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> what Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S>, the concubine<S>6370</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> and took<S>3947</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bones<S>6106</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> from the men<S>1167</S> of Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</S>, who had stolen<S>1589</S> them from the street<S>7339</S> of Beth Shan<S>1052</S>, where the Philistines<S>6430</S> had hanged<S>8511</S> them<S>3117</S>, in the day that the Philistines<S>6430</S> killed<S>5221</S> Saul<S>7586</S> in Gilboa<S>1533</S>;


text:
and he brought up<S>5927</S> from there the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bones<S>6106</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>: and they gathered<S>622</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of those who were hanged<S>3363</S>.


text:
They buried<S>6912</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> in the country<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> in Zela<S>6762</S>, in the tomb<S>6913</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> his father<S>1</S>: and they performed<S>6213</S> all that the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S>. After<S>310</S> that God<S>430</S> was entreated<S>6279</S> for the land<S>776</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> had war<S>4421</S> again with Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> went down<S>3381</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>3898</S>, and fought against the Philistines<S>6430</S>. David<S>1732</S> grew faint<S>5774</S>;


text:
and Ishbibenob<S>3430</S>, who was of the sons<S>3211</S> of the giant<S>7497</S>, the weight<S>4948</S> of whose spear<S>7013</S> was three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of brass<S>5178</S> in weight<S>4948</S>, he being armed<S>2296</S> with a new<S>2319</S> sword<S>559</S>, thought to have slain<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
But Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> helped<S>5826</S> him<S>5221</S>, and struck the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>582</S>. Then the men of David<S>1732</S> swore<S>7650</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "You shall go<S>3318</S> no more out with us to battle<S>4421</S>, that you don<S>3518</S>'t quench the lamp<S>5216</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
It came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that there was again war<S>4421</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S> at Gob<S>1359</S>: then Sibbecai<S>5444</S> the Hushathite<S>2843</S> killed<S>5221</S> Saph<S>5593</S>, who was of the sons<S>3211</S> of the giant<S>7497</S>.


text:
There was again war<S>4421</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S> at Gob<S>1359</S>; and Elhanan<S>445</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jaareoregim<S>3296</S> the Bethlehemite<S>1022</S> killed<S>5221</S> Goliath<S>1555</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>'s brother<S>6086</S>, the staff of whose spear<S>2595</S> was like a weaver<S>707</S>'s beam<S>4500</S>.


text:
There was again war<S>4421</S> at Gath<S>1661</S>, where there was a man<S>376</S> of great stature<S>4067</S>, who had on every hand<S>3027</S> six<S>8337</S> fingers<S>676</S>, and on every foot<S>7272</S> six<S>8337</S> toes<S>676</S>, four<S>702</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> in number<S>4557</S>; and he also was born<S>3205</S> to the giant<S>7497</S>.


text:
When he defied<S>2778</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimei<S>8092</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, killed him<S>5221</S>.


text:
These four<S>702</S> were born<S>3205</S> to the giant<S>7497</S> in Gath<S>1661</S>; and they fell<S>5307</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and by the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> the words<S>1697</S> of this song<S>7892</S> in the day<S>3117</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5337</S> him out of the hand<S>3709</S> of all his enemies<S>341</S>, and out of the hand<S>3709</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>:


text:
and he said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> is my rock<S>5553</S>, my fortress<S>4686</S>, and my deliverer<S>6403</S>, even mine;


text:
God<S>430</S>, my rock<S>6697</S>, in him I will take refuge<S>2620</S>; my shield<S>4043</S>, and the horn<S>7161</S> of my salvation<S>3468</S>, my high tower<S>4869</S>, and my refuge<S>4498</S>. My savior<S>3467</S>, you save<S>3467</S> me from violence<S>2555</S>.


text:
I will call<S>7121</S> on Yahweh<S>3068</S>, who is worthy to be praised<S>1984</S>: So shall I be saved<S>3467</S> from my enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
For the waves<S>4867</S> of death<S>4194</S> surrounded<S>661</S> me<S>5158</S>. The floods of ungodliness<S>1100</S> made me afraid<S>1204</S>.


text:
The cords<S>2256</S> of Sheol<S>7585</S> were around<S>5437</S> me<S>4170</S>. The snares of death<S>4194</S> caught me<S>6923</S>.


text:
In my distress<S>6862</S> I called<S>7121</S> on Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Yes<S>7121</S>, I called to my God<S>430</S>. He heard<S>8085</S> my voice<S>6963</S> out of his temple<S>1964</S>. My cry<S>7775</S> came into his ears<S>241</S>.


text:
Then the earth<S>776</S> shook<S>1607</S> and trembled<S>7493</S>. The foundations<S>4146</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> quaked<S>7264</S> and were shaken<S>1607</S>, because he was angry<S>2734</S>.


text:
Smoke<S>6227</S> went up<S>5927</S> out of his nostrils<S>639</S>. Fire<S>784</S> out of his mouth<S>6310</S> devoured<S>398</S>. Coals<S>1513</S> were kindled by it<S>1197</S>.


text:
He bowed<S>5186</S> the heavens<S>8064</S> also<S>3381</S>, and came down. Thick darkness<S>6205</S> was under his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
He rode<S>7392</S> on a cherub<S>3742</S>, and flew<S>5774</S>. Yes<S>7200</S>, he was seen on the wings<S>3671</S> of the wind<S>7307</S>.


text:
He made<S>7896</S> darkness<S>2822</S> pavilions<S>5521</S> around<S>5439</S> himself<S>2841</S>: gathering of waters<S>4325</S>, and thick clouds<S>5645</S> of the skies<S>7834</S>.


text:
At the brightness<S>5051</S> before him<S>1513</S>, coals of fire<S>784</S> were kindled<S>1197</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>. The Most High<S>5945</S> uttered<S>5414</S> his voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
He sent out<S>7971</S> arrows<S>2671</S>, and scattered<S>6327</S> them<S>1300</S>; lightning, and confused them<S>2000</S>.


text:
Then the channels<S>650</S> of the sea<S>3220</S> appeared<S>7200</S>. The foundations<S>4146</S> of the world<S>8398</S> were laid bare<S>1540</S> by the rebuke<S>1606</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, At the blast<S>5397</S> of the breath<S>7307</S> of his nostrils<S>639</S>.

He sent<S>7971</S> from on high<S>4791</S> and he took<S>3947</S> me<S>4871</S>. He drew me out of many<S>7227</S> waters<S>4325</S>.


text:
He delivered<S>5337</S> me from my strong<S>5794</S> enemy<S>341</S>, from those who hated<S>8130</S> me<S>553</S>, for they were too mighty for me.


text:
They came on<S>6923</S> me in the day<S>3117</S> of my calamity<S>343</S>, but Yahweh<S>3068</S> was my support<S>4937</S>.


text:
He also brought me out<S>3318</S> into a large place<S>4800</S>. He delivered<S>2502</S> me<S>2654</S>, because he delighted in me.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> rewarded<S>1580</S> me according to my righteousness<S>6666</S>. He rewarded<S>7725</S> me according to the cleanness<S>1252</S> of my hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
For I have kept<S>8104</S> the ways<S>1870</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and have not wickedly departed<S>7561</S> from my God<S>430</S>.


text:
For all his ordinances<S>4941</S> were before me<S>2708</S>. As for his statutes, I did not depart from them<S>5493</S>.


text:
Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> has rewarded<S>7725</S> me according to my righteousness<S>6666</S>, According to my cleanness<S>1252</S> in his eyesight<S>5048</S>.


text:
With the merciful<S>2623</S> you will show yourself merciful<S>2616</S>. With the perfect<S>8549</S> man<S>1368</S> you will show yourself perfect<S>8549</S>.


text:
With the pure<S>1305</S> you will show yourself pure<S>1305</S>. With the crooked<S>6141</S> you will show yourself shrewd<S>6617</S>.


text:
You will save<S>3467</S> the afflicted<S>6041</S> people<S>5971</S>, But your eyes<S>5869</S> are on the haughty<S>7311</S>, that you may bring them down<S>8213</S>.


text:
For you are my lamp<S>5216</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> will light<S>5050</S> up my darkness<S>2822</S>.


text:
For by you<S>7323</S>, I run against a troop<S>1416</S>. By my God<S>430</S>, I leap over<S>1801</S> a wall<S>7791</S>.


text:
As for God<S>410</S>, his way<S>1870</S> is perfect<S>8549</S>. The word<S>565</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> is tested<S>6884</S>. He is a shield<S>4043</S> to all those who take refuge in him<S>2620</S>.


text:
For who is God<S>410</S>, besides<S>1107</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>? Who is a rock<S>6697</S>, besides<S>1107</S> our God<S>430</S>?


text:
God<S>410</S> is my strong<S>4581</S> fortress<S>2428</S>. He makes<S>5425</S> my way<S>1870</S> perfect<S>8549</S>.


text:
He makes<S>7737</S> his feet<S>7272</S> like<S>7737</S> hinds<S>355</S>' feet<S>5975</S>, and sets me on my high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
He teaches<S>3925</S> my hands<S>3027</S> to war<S>4421</S>, so that my arms<S>2220</S> bend<S>5181</S> a bow<S>7198</S> of brass<S>5154</S>.


text:
You have also given<S>5414</S> me the shield<S>4043</S> of your salvation<S>3468</S>. Your gentleness<S>6031</S> has made me great<S>7235</S>.


text:
You have enlarged<S>7337</S> my steps<S>6806</S> under me<S>7166</S>. My feet have not slipped<S>4571</S>.


text:
I have pursued<S>7291</S> my enemies<S>341</S> and destroyed<S>8045</S> them<S>7725</S>. I didn't turn again until they were consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
I have consumed<S>3615</S> them<S>4272</S>, and struck them through<S>6965</S>, so that they can't arise. Yes<S>5307</S>, they have fallen under my feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
For you have armed<S>247</S> me with strength<S>2428</S> for the battle<S>4421</S>. You have subdued<S>3766</S> under me those who rose up against me<S>6965</S>.


text:
You have also made<S>5414</S> my enemies<S>341</S> turn their backs<S>6203</S> to me<S>6789</S>, that I might cut off those who hate me<S>8130</S>.


text:
They looked<S>8159</S>, but there was none to save<S>3467</S>; even to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but he didn<S>6030</S>'t answer them.


text:
Then I beat<S>7833</S> them as small as the dust<S>6083</S> of the earth<S>776</S>. I crushed<S>1854</S> them as the mire<S>2916</S> of the streets<S>2351</S>, and spread them abroad<S>7554</S>.


text:
You also have delivered<S>6403</S> me from the strivings<S>7379</S> of my people<S>5971</S>. You have kept<S>8104</S> me to be the head<S>7218</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>. A people<S>5971</S> whom I have not known<S>3045</S> will serve me<S>5647</S>.


text:
The foreigners<S>1121</S> will submit<S>3584</S> themselves to me<S>8085</S>. As soon as they hear of me<S>8085</S>, they will obey me.
