1 Kings 15:24

And Asa
<0609>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat}

1 Kings 22:2-50

And it came to pass in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>_,
that Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came down
<03381> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Know
<03045> (8804)
ye that Ramoth
<07433>
in Gilead
<01568>
[is] ours, and we [be] still
<02814> (8688)_,
[and] take
<03947> (8800)
it not out of the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_?
{still...: Heb. silent from taking it}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with me to battle
<04421>
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_?
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
I [am] as thou
<03644>
[art], my people
<05971>
as thy people
<05971>_,
my horses
<05483>
as thy horses
<05483>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Enquire
<01875> (8798)_,
I pray thee, at the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
to day
<03117>_.
Then the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered
<06908> (0)
the prophets
<05030>
together
<06908> (8799)_,
about four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Shall I go
<03212> (8799)
against Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>
to battle
<04421>_,
or shall I forbear
<02308> (8799)_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_;
for the Lord
<0136>
shall deliver
<05414> (8799)
[it] into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not here a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>
besides
<05750>_,
that we might enquire
<01875> (8799)
of him?
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
[There is] yet one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
Micaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Imlah
<03229>_,
by whom we may enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_:
but I hate
<08130> (8804)
him; for he doth not prophesy
<05012> (8691)
good
<02896>
concerning me, but evil
<07451>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let not the king
<04428>
say
<0559> (8799)
so.
Then the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
called
<07121> (8799)
an
<0259>
officer
<05631>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hasten
<04116> (8761)
[hither] Micaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Imlah
<03229>_.
{officer: or, eunuch}
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
sat
<03427> (8802)
each
<0376>
on his throne
<03678>_,
having put on
<03847> (8794)
their robes
<0899>_,
in a void place
<01637>
in the entrance
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of Samaria
<08111>_;
and all the prophets
<05030>
prophesied
<05012> (8693)
before
<06440>
them. {void...: Heb. floor}
And Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Chenaanah
<03668>
made
<06213> (8799)
him horns
<07161>
of iron
<01270>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
With these shalt thou push
<05055> (8762)
the Syrians
<0758>_,
until thou have consumed
<03615> (8763)
them.
And all the prophets
<05030>
prophesied
<05012> (8737)
so, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_,
and prosper
<06743> (8685)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
shall deliver
<05414> (8804)
[it] into the king's
<04428>
hand
<03027>_.
And the messenger
<04397>
that was gone
<01980> (8804)
to call
<07121> (8800)
Micaiah
<04321>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold now, the words
<01697>
of the prophets
<05030>
[declare] good
<02896>
unto the king
<04428>
with one
<0259>
mouth
<06310>_:
let thy word
<01697>_,
I pray thee, be like the word
<01697>
of one
<0259>
of them, and speak
<01696> (8765)
[that which is] good
<02896>_.
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
what the LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8799)
unto me, that will I speak
<01696> (8762)_.
So he came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Micaiah
<04321>_,
shall we go
<03212> (8799)
against Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>
to battle
<04421>_,
or shall we forbear
<02308> (8799)_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)
him, Go
<05927> (8798)_,
and prosper
<06743> (8685)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
shall deliver
<05414> (8804)
[it] into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, How many times
<06471>
shall I adjure
<07650> (8688)
thee that thou tell
<01696> (8762)
me nothing but [that which is] true
<0571>
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I saw
<07200> (8804)
all Israel
<03478>
scattered
<06327> (8737)
upon the hills
<02022>_,
as sheep
<06629>
that have not a shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
These have no master
<0113>_:
let them return
<07725> (8799)
every man
<0376>
to his house
<01004>
in peace
<07965>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Did I not tell
<0559> (8804)
thee that he would prophesy
<05012> (8691)
no good
<02896>
concerning me, but evil
<07451>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
thou therefore the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
I saw
<07200> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
sitting
<03427> (8802)
on his throne
<03678>_,
and all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
standing
<05975> (8802)
by him on his right hand
<03225>
and on his left
<08040>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who shall persuade
<06601> (8762)
Ahab
<0256>_,
that he may go up
<05927> (8799)
and fall
<05307> (8799)
at Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_?
And one said
<0559> (8799)
on this manner
<03541>_,
and another said
<0559> (8802)
on that manner
<03541>_.
{persuade: or, deceive}
And there came forth
<03318> (8799)
a spirit
<07307>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will persuade
<06601> (8762)
him.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherewith? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go forth
<03318> (8799)_,
and I will be a lying
<08267>
spirit
<07307>
in the mouth
<06310>
of all his prophets
<05030>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt persuade
<06601> (8762)
[him], and prevail
<03201> (8799)
also: go forth
<03318> (8798)_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath put
<05414> (8804)
a lying
<08267>
spirit
<07307>
in the mouth
<06310>
of all these thy prophets
<05030>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
evil
<07451>
concerning thee.
But Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Chenaanah
<03668>
went near
<05066> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Micaiah
<04321>
on the cheek
<03895>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which way
<0335>
went
<05674> (8804)
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
from me to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto thee?
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)
in that day
<03117>_,
when thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)
into an inner
<02315>
chamber
<02315>
to hide
<02247> (8736)
thyself. {into...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
Micaiah
<04321>_,
and carry him back
<07725> (8685)
unto Amon
<0526>
the governor
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
and to Joash
<03101>
the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>_;
And say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
Put
<07760> (8798)
this [fellow] in the prison
<01004> <03608>_,
and feed
<0398> (8685)
him with bread
<03899>
of affliction
<03906>
and with water
<04325>
of affliction
<03906>_,
until I come
<0935> (8800)
in peace
<07965>_.
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
If thou return
<07725> (8799)
at all
<07725> (8800)
in peace
<07965>_,
the LORD
<03068>
hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)
by me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)_,
O people
<05971>_,
every one of you.
So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
I will disguise
<02664> (8692)
myself, and enter
<0935> (8800)
into the battle
<04421>_;
but put thou on
<03847> (8798)
thy robes
<0899>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
disguised
<02664> (8691)
himself, and went
<0935> (8799)
into the battle
<04421>_.
{I will...: or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battle}
But the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
his thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
captains
<08269>
that had rule over his chariots
<07393>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fight
<03898> (8735)
neither with small
<06996>
nor great
<01419>_,
save only with the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And it came to pass, when the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
that they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely it [is] the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And they turned aside
<05493> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against him: and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_.
And it came to pass, when the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>
perceived
<07200> (8800)
that it [was] not the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that they turned back
<07725> (8799)
from pursuing
<0310>
him.
And a [certain] man
<0376>
drew
<04900> (8804)
a bow
<07198>
at a venture
<08537>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
between the joints
<01694>
of the harness
<08302>_:
wherefore he said
<0559> (8799)
unto the driver of his chariot
<07395>_,
Turn
<02015> (8798)
thine hand
<03027>_,
and carry me out
<03318> (8685)
of the host
<04264>_;
for I am wounded
<02470> (8717)_.
{at a...: Heb. in his simplicity} {joints...: Heb. joints and the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
And the battle
<04421>
increased
<05927> (8799)
that day
<03117>_:
and the king
<04428>
was stayed up
<05975> (8716)
in his chariot
<04818>
against
<05227>
the Syrians
<0758>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
at even
<06153>_:
and the blood
<01818>
ran out
<03332> (8799)
of the wound
<04347>
into the midst
<02436>
of the chariot
<07393>_.
{increased: Heb. ascended} {midst: Heb. bosom}
And there went
<05674> (8799)
a proclamation
<07440>
throughout the host
<04264>
about the going down
<0935> (8800)
of the sun
<08121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Every man
<0376>
to his city
<05892>_,
and every man
<0376>
to his own country
<0776>_.
So the king
<04428>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was brought
<0935> (8799)
to Samaria
<08111>_;
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
the king
<04428>
in Samaria
<08111>_.
{was brought: Heb. came}
And [one] washed
<07857> (8799)
the chariot
<07393>
in the pool
<01295>
of Samaria
<08111>_;
and the dogs
<03611>
licked up
<03952> (8799)
his blood
<01818>_;
and they washed
<07364> (8804)
his armour
<02185>_;
according unto the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which he spake
<01696> (8765)_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and the ivory
<08127>
house
<01004>
which he made
<01129> (8804)_,
and all the cities
<05892>
that he built
<01129> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
So Ahab
<0256>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_;
and Ahaziah
<0274>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the son
<01121>
of Asa
<0609>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Judah
<03063>
in the fourth
<0702>
year
<08141>
of Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Jehoshaphat
<03092>
[was] thirty
<07970>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Azubah
<05806>
the daughter
<01323>
of Shilhi
<07977>_.
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in all the ways
<01870>
of Asa
<0609>
his father
<01>_;
he turned not aside
<05493> (8804)
from it, doing
<06213> (8800)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
nevertheless the high places
<01116>
were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_;
[for] the people
<05971>
offered
<02076> (8764)
and burnt incense
<06999> (8764)
yet in the high places
<01116>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
made peace
<07999> (8686)
with the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
and his might
<01369>
that he shewed
<06213> (8804)_,
and how he warred
<03898> (8738)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
And the remnant
<03499>
of the sodomites
<06945>_,
which remained
<07604> (8738)
in the days
<03117>
of his father
<01>
Asa
<0609>_,
he took
<01197> (8765)
out of the land
<0776>_.
[There was] then no king
<04428>
in Edom
<0123>_:
a deputy
<05324> (8737)
[was] king
<04428>_.
Jehoshaphat
<03092>
made
<06213> (8804) (8675) <06240>
ships
<0591>
of Tharshish
<08659>
to go
<03212> (8800)
to Ophir
<0211>
for gold
<02091>_:
but they went
<01980> (8804)
not; for the ships
<0591>
were broken
<07665> (8738)
at Eziongeber
<06100>_.
{made...: or, had ten ships}
Then said
<0559> (8804)
Ahaziah
<0274>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Let my servants
<05650>
go
<03212> (8799)
with thy servants
<05650>
in the ships
<0591>_.
But Jehoshaphat
<03092>
would
<014> (8804)
not.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and Jehoram
<03088>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.

1 Kings 22:2

And it came to pass in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>_,
that Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came down
<03381> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.

1 Kings 3:1-2

And Solomon
<08010>
made affinity
<02859> (8691)
with Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
daughter
<01323>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her into the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
until he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of building
<01129> (8800)
his own house
<01004>_,
and the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
round about
<05439>_.
Only the people
<05971>
sacrificed
<02076> (8764)
in high places
<01116>_,
because there was no house
<01004>
built
<01129> (8738)
unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
until those days
<03117>_.

1 Kings 17:1--20:37

And Elijah
<0452>
the Tishbite
<08664>_,
[who was] of the inhabitants
<08453>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
there shall not be dew
<02919>
nor rain
<04306>
these years
<08141>_,
but according
<06310>
to my word
<01697>_.
{Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Get
<03212> (8798)
thee hence, and turn
<06437> (8804)
thee eastward
<06924>_,
and hide
<05641> (8738)
thyself by the brook
<05158>
Cherith
<03747>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Jordan
<03383>_.
And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)
of the brook
<05158>_;
and I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
the ravens
<06158>
to feed
<03557> (8771)
thee there.
So he went
<03212> (8799)
and did
<06213> (8799)
according unto the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
for he went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
by the brook
<05158>
Cherith
<03747>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Jordan
<03383>_.
And the ravens
<06158>
brought
<0935> (8688)
him bread
<03899>
and flesh
<01320>
in the morning
<01242>_,
and bread
<03899>
and flesh
<01320>
in the evening
<06153>_;
and he drank
<08354> (8799)
of the brook
<05158>_.
And it came to pass after
<07093>
a while
<03117>_,
that the brook
<05158>
dried up
<03001> (8799)_,
because there had been no rain
<01653>
in the land
<0776>_.
{after...: Heb. at the end of days}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get
<03212> (8798)
thee to Zarephath
<06886>_,
which [belongeth] to Zidon
<06721>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8804)
there: behold, I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
a widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
there to sustain
<03557> (8771)
thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Zarephath
<06886>_.
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
to the gate
<06607>
of the city
<05892>_,
behold, the widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
[was] there gathering
<07197> (8781)
of sticks
<06086>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fetch
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
in a vessel
<03627>_,
that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_.
And as she was going
<03212> (8799)
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
[it], he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a morsel
<06595>
of bread
<03899>
in thine hand
<03027>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
I have
<03426>
not a cake
<04580>_,
but an handful
<04393> <03709>
of meal
<07058>
in a barrel
<03537>_,
and a little
<04592>
oil
<08081>
in a cruse
<06835>_:
and, behold, I [am] gathering
<07197> (8781)
two
<08147>
sticks
<06086>_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8804)
and dress
<06213> (8804)
it for me and my son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8804)
it, and die
<04191> (8804)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; go
<0935> (8798)
[and] do
<06213> (8798)
as thou hast said
<01697>_:
but make
<06213> (8798)
me thereof
<08033>
a little
<06996>
cake
<05692>
first
<07223>_,
and bring
<03318> (8689)
[it] unto me, and after
<0314>
make
<06213> (8799)
for thee and for thy son
<01121>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
The barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
shall not waste
<03615> (8799)_,
neither shall the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02637> (8799)_,
until the day
<03117>
[that] the LORD
<03068>
sendeth
<05414> (8800)
rain
<01653>
upon
<06440>
the earth
<0127>_.
{sendeth: Heb. giveth}
And she went
<03212> (8799)
and did
<06213> (8799)
according to the saying
<01697>
of Elijah
<0452>_:
and she, and he, and her house
<01004>_,
did eat
<0398> (8799)
[many] days
<03117>_.
{many...: or, a full year}
[And] the barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
wasted
<03615> (8804)
not, neither did the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02638>_,
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
Elijah
<0452>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
[that] the son
<01121>
of the woman
<0802>_,
the mistress
<01172>
of the house
<01004>_,
fell sick
<02470> (8804)_;
and his sickness
<02483>
was so
<03966>
sore
<02389>_,
that there was no breath
<05397>
left
<03498> (8738)
in him.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
What have I to do with thee, O thou man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_?
art thou come
<0935> (8804)
unto me to call
<02142> (0)
my sin
<05771>
to remembrance
<02142> (8687)_,
and to slay
<04191> (8687)
my son
<01121>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Give
<05414> (8798)
me thy son
<01121>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
him out of her bosom
<02436>_,
and carried him up
<05927> (8686)
into a loft
<05944>_,
where he abode
<03427> (8802)_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him upon his own bed
<04296>_.
And he cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
hast thou also brought evil
<07489> (8689)
upon the widow
<0490>
with whom I sojourn
<01481> (8711)_,
by slaying
<04191> (8687)
her son
<01121>_?
And he stretched
<04058> (8709)
himself upon the child
<03206>
three
<07969>
times
<06471>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
I pray thee, let this child's
<03206>
soul
<05315>
come
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_.
{stretched: Heb. measured} {into...: Heb. into his inward parts}
And the LORD
<03068>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of Elijah
<0452>_;
and the soul
<05315>
of the child
<03206>
came
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_,
and he revived
<02421> (8799)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
the child
<03206>_,
and brought him down
<03381> (8686)
out of the chamber
<05944>
into the house
<01004>_,
and delivered
<05414> (8799)
him unto his mother
<0517>_:
and Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
thy son
<01121>
liveth
<02416>_.
And the woman
<0802>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Elijah
<0452>_,
Now by this
<02088>
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou [art] a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
[and] that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in thy mouth
<06310>
[is] truth
<0571>_.
And it came to pass [after] many
<07227>
days
<03117>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Elijah
<0452>
in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
shew
<07200> (8734)
thyself unto Ahab
<0256>_;
and I will send
<05414> (8799)
rain
<04306>
upon
<06440>
the earth
<0127>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
went
<03212> (8799)
to shew
<07200> (8736)
himself unto Ahab
<0256>_.
And [there was] a sore
<02389>
famine
<07458>
in Samaria
<08111>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
called
<07121> (8799)
Obadiah
<05662>_,
which [was] the governor of [his] house
<01004>_.
(Now Obadiah
<05662>
feared
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>
greatly
<03966>_:
{Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor...: Heb. over his house}
For it was [so], when Jezebel
<0348>
cut off
<03772> (8687)
the prophets
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that Obadiah
<05662>
took
<03947> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
prophets
<05030>_,
and hid
<02244> (8686)
them by fifty
<0376> <02572>
in a cave
<04631>_,
and fed
<03557> (8773)
them with bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>.)
{Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And Ahab
<0256>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Obadiah
<05662>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
into the land
<0776>_,
unto all fountains
<04599>
of water
<04325>_,
and unto all brooks
<05158>_:
peradventure
<0194>
we may find
<04672> (8799)
grass
<02682>
to save
<02421> (8762)
the horses
<05483>
and mules
<06505>
alive
<02421> (8762)_,
that we lose
<03772> (8686)
not all the beasts
<0929>_.
{that...: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they divided
<02505> (8762)
the land
<0776>
between them to pass throughout
<05674> (8800)
it: Ahab
<0256>
went
<01980> (8804)
one
<0259>
way
<01870>
by himself, and Obadiah
<05662>
went
<01980> (8804)
another
<0259>
way
<01870>
by himself.
And as Obadiah
<05662>
was in the way
<01870>_,
behold, Elijah
<0452>
met
<07125> (8800)
him: and he knew
<05234> (8686)
him, and fell
<05307> (8799)
on his face
<06440>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou that my lord
<0113>
Elijah
<0452>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)
him, I [am]: go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here].
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What have I sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
that thou wouldest deliver
<05414> (8802)
thy servant
<05650>
into the hand
<03027>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
to slay
<04191> (8687)
me?
[As] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
there is no
<03426>
nation
<01471>
or kingdom
<04467>_,
whither
<0834>
my lord
<0113>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
thee: and when they said
<0559> (8804)_,
[He is] not [there]; he took an oath
<07650> (8689)
of the kingdom
<04467>
and nation
<01471>_,
that they found
<04672> (8799)
thee not.
And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here].
And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone
<03212> (8799)
from thee, that the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall carry
<05375> (8799)
thee whither I know
<03045> (8799)
not; and [so] when I come
<0935> (8804)
and tell
<05046> (8687)
Ahab
<0256>_,
and he cannot find
<04672> (8799)
thee, he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
me: but I thy servant
<05650>
fear
<03372> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
from my youth
<05271>_.
Was it not told
<05046> (8717)
my lord
<0113>
what I did
<06213> (8804)
when Jezebel
<0348>
slew
<02026> (8800)
the prophets
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
how I hid
<02244> (8686)
an hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
prophets
<05030>
by fifty
<02572>
in a cave
<04631>_,
and fed
<03557> (8770)
them with bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>_?
And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
tell
<0559> (8798)
thy lord
<0113>_,
Behold, Elijah
<0452>
[is here]: and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
me.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
I will surely shew
<07200> (8735)
myself unto him to day
<03117>_.
So Obadiah
<05662>
went
<03212> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Ahab
<0256>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him: and Ahab
<0256>
went
<03212> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Elijah
<0452>_.
And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Elijah
<0452>_,
that Ahab
<0256>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth
<05916> (8802)
Israel
<03478>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I have not troubled
<05916> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_;
but thou, and thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
in that ye have forsaken
<05800> (8800)
the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and thou hast followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
Baalim
<01168>_.
Now therefore send
<07971> (8798)_,
[and] gather
<06908> (8798)
to me all Israel
<03478>
unto mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_,
and the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_,
and the prophets
<05030>
of the groves
<0842>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>_,
which eat
<0398> (8802)
at Jezebel's
<0348>
table
<07979>_.
So Ahab
<0256>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and gathered
<06908> (0)
the prophets
<05030>
together
<06908> (8799)
unto mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
came
<05066> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How long
<05921>
halt
<06452> (8802)
ye between two
<08147>
opinions
<05587>_?
if the LORD
<03068>
[be] God
<0430>_,
follow him: but if Baal
<01168>_,
[then] follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>
him. And the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8804)
him not a word
<01697>_.
{opinions: or, thoughts}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Elijah
<0452>
unto the people
<05971>_,
I, [even] I only, remain
<03498> (8738)
a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
but Baal's
<01168>
prophets
<05030>
[are] four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>_.
Let them therefore give
<05414> (8799)
us two
<08147>
bullocks
<06499>_;
and let them choose
<0977> (8799)
one
<0259>
bullock
<06499>
for themselves, and cut it in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,
and lay
<07760> (8799)
[it] on wood
<06086>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under]: and I will dress
<06213> (8799)
the other
<0259>
bullock
<06499>_,
and lay
<05414> (8804)
[it] on wood
<06086>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under]:
And call
<07121> (8804)
ye on the name
<08034>
of your gods
<0430>_,
and I will call
<07121> (8799)
on the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and the God
<0430>
that answereth
<06030> (8799)
by fire
<0784>_,
let him be God
<0430>_.
And all the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is well
<02896>
spoken
<01697>_.
{It is...: Heb. The word is good}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>_,
Choose
<0977> (8798)
you one
<0259>
bullock
<06499>
for yourselves, and dress
<06213> (8798)
[it] first
<07223>_;
for ye [are] many
<07227>_;
and call
<07121> (8798)
on the name
<08034>
of your gods
<0430>_,
but put
<07760> (8799)
no fire
<0784>
[under].
And they took
<03947> (8799)
the bullock
<06499>
which was given
<05414> (8804)
them, and they dressed
<06213> (8799)
[it], and called
<07121> (8799)
on the name
<08034>
of Baal
<01168>
from morning
<01242>
even until noon
<06672>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
O Baal
<01168>_,
hear
<06030> (8798)
us. But [there was] no
<0369>
voice
<06963>_,
nor any that answered
<06030> (8802)_.
And they leaped
<06452> (8762)
upon the altar
<04196>
which was made
<06213> (8804)_.
{hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped...: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noon
<06672>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
mocked
<02048> (8762)
them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cry
<07121> (8798)
aloud
<01419> <06963>_:
for he [is] a god
<0430>_;
either he is talking
<07879>_,
or he is pursuing
<07873>_,
or he is in a journey
<01870>_,
[or] peradventure
<0194>
he sleepeth
<03463>_,
and must be awaked
<03364> (8799)_.
{aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they cried
<07121> (8799)
aloud
<06963> <01419>_,
and cut
<01413> (8704)
themselves after their manner
<04941>
with knives
<02719>
and lancets
<07420>_,
till the blood
<01818>
gushed out
<08210> (8800)
upon them. {the blood...: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when midday
<06672>
was past
<05674> (8800)_,
and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)
until the [time] of the offering
<05927> (8800)
of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,
that [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,
nor any to answer
<06030> (8802)_,
nor any that regarded
<07182>_.
{offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
Come near
<05066> (8798)
unto me. And all the people
<05971>
came near
<05066> (8799)
unto him. And he repaired
<07495> (8762)
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
[that was] broken down
<02040> (8803)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
twelve
<08147> <06240>
stones
<068>_,
according to the number
<04557>
of the tribes
<07626>
of the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
unto whom the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Israel
<03478>
shall be thy name
<08034>_:
And with the stones
<068>
he built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and he made
<06213> (8799)
a trench
<08585>
about
<05439>
the altar
<04196>_,
as great as would contain
<01004>
two measures
<05429>
of seed
<02233>_.
And he put
<06186> (0)
the wood
<06086>
in order
<06186> (8799)_,
and cut
<05408> (8762)
the bullock
<06499>
in pieces, and laid
<07760> (8799)
[him] on the wood
<06086>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fill
<04390> (8798)
four
<0702>
barrels
<03537>
with water
<04325>_,
and pour
<03332> (8798)
[it] on the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
and on the wood
<06086>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do [it] the second time
<08138> (8798)_.
And they did [it] the second time
<08138> (8799)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do [it] the third time
<08027> (8761)_.
And they did [it] the third time
<08027> (8762)_.
And the water
<04325>
ran
<03212> (8799)
round about
<05439>
the altar
<04196>_;
and he filled
<04390> (8765)
the trench
<08585>
also with water
<04325>_.
{ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering
<05927> (8800)
of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
the prophet
<05030>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
Isaac
<03327>_,
and of Israel
<03478>_,
let it be known
<03045> (8735)
this day
<03117>
that thou [art] God
<0430>
in Israel
<03478>_,
and [that] I [am] thy servant
<05650>_,
and [that] I have done
<06213> (8804)
all these things at thy word
<01697>_.
Hear
<06030> (8798)
me, O LORD
<03068>_,
hear
<06030> (8798)
me, that this people
<05971>
may know
<03045> (8799)
that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
and [that] thou hast turned
<05437> (0)
their heart
<03820>
back
<05437> (8689)
again
<0322>_.
Then the fire
<0784>
of the LORD
<03068>
fell
<05307> (8799)_,
and consumed
<0398> (8799)
the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
and the wood
<06086>_,
and the stones
<068>_,
and the dust
<06083>_,
and licked up
<03897> (8765)
the water
<04325>
that [was] in the trench
<08585>_.
And when all the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it], they fell
<05307> (8799)
on their faces
<06440>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>_,
he [is] the God
<0430>_;
the LORD
<03068>_,
he [is] the God
<0430>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Take
<08610> (8798)
the prophets
<05030>
of Baal
<01168>_;
let not one
<0376>
of them escape
<04422> (8735)_.
And they took
<08610> (8799)
them: and Elijah
<0452>
brought them down
<03381> (8686)
to the brook
<05158>
Kishon
<07028>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
Get thee up
<05927> (8798)_,
eat
<0398> (8798)
and drink
<08354> (8798)_;
for [there is] a sound
<06963>
of abundance
<01995>
of rain
<01653>_.
{a sound...: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So Ahab
<0256>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
and to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
went up
<05927> (8804)
to the top
<07218>
of Carmel
<03760>_;
and he cast himself down
<01457> (8799)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
his face
<06440>
between his knees
<01290>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
to his servant
<05288>_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
now, look
<05027> (8685)
toward
<01870>
the sea
<03220>_.
And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There is] nothing
<03972>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go again
<07725> (8798)
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_.
And it came to pass at the seventh time
<07637>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, there ariseth
<05927> (8802)
a little
<06996>
cloud
<05645>
out of the sea
<03220>_,
like a man's
<0376>
hand
<03709>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
say
<0559> (8798)
unto Ahab
<0256>_,
Prepare
<0631> (8798)
[thy chariot], and get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,
that the rain
<01653>
stop
<06113> (8799)
thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean while
<03541>_,
that the heaven
<08064>
was black
<06937> (8694)
with clouds
<05645>
and wind
<07307>_,
and there was a great
<01419>
rain
<01653>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
rode
<07392> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Jezreel
<03157>_.
And the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was on Elijah
<0452>_;
and he girded up
<08151> (8762)
his loins
<04975>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
before
<06440>
Ahab
<0256>
to the entrance
<0935> (8800)
of Jezreel
<03157>_.
{to the...: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
And Ahab
<0256>
told
<05046> (8686)
Jezebel
<0348>
all that Elijah
<0452>
had done
<06213> (8804)_,
and withal how he had slain
<02026> (8804)
all the prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_.
Then Jezebel
<0348>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a messenger
<04397>
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
So let the gods
<0430>
do
<06213> (8799)
[to me], and more
<03254> (8686)
also, if I make
<07760> (8799)
not thy life
<05315>
as the life
<05315>
of one
<0259>
of them by to morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>_.
And when he saw
<07200> (8799)
[that], he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
for his life
<05315>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Beersheba
<0884>_,
which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,
and left
<03240> (8686)
his servant
<05288>
there.
But he himself went
<01980> (8804)
a day's
<03117>
journey
<01870>
into the wilderness
<04057>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and sat down
<03427> (8799)
under a
<0259>
juniper tree
<07574>_:
and he requested
<07592> (8799)
for himself
<05315>
that he might die
<04191> (8800)_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is enough
<07227>_;
now, O LORD
<03068>_,
take away
<03947> (8798)
my life
<05315>_;
for I [am] not better
<02896>
than my fathers
<01>_.
{for himself: Heb. for his life}
And as he lay
<07901> (8799)
and slept
<03462> (8799)
under a
<0259>
juniper tree
<07574>_,
behold, then an angel
<04397>
touched
<05060> (8802)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)
[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_.
And he looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and, behold, [there was] a cake
<05692>
baken on the coals
<07529>_,
and a cruse
<06835>
of water
<04325>
at his head
<04763>_.
And he did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and laid him down
<07901> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)_.
{head: Heb. bolster}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again
<07725> (8799)
the second time
<08145>_,
and touched
<05060> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)
[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_;
because the journey
<01870>
[is] too great
<07227>
for thee.
And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
in the strength
<03581>
of that meat
<0396>
forty
<0705>
days
<03117>
and forty
<0705>
nights
<03915>
unto Horeb
<02722>
the mount
<02022>
of God
<0430>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
thither unto a cave
<04631>_,
and lodged
<03885> (8799)
there; and, behold, the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[came] to him, and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah
<0452>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have been very
<07065> (8763)
jealous
<07065> (8765)
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
thy covenant
<01285>_,
thrown down
<02040> (8804)
thine altars
<04196>_,
and slain
<02026> (8804)
thy prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_;
and I, [even] I only, am left
<03498> (8735)_;
and they seek
<01245> (8762)
my life
<05315>_,
to take it away
<03947> (8800)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)_,
and stand
<05975> (8804)
upon the mount
<02022>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And, behold, the LORD
<03068>
passed by
<05674> (8802)_,
and a great
<01419>
and strong
<02389>
wind
<07307>
rent
<06561> (8764)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and brake in pieces
<07665> (8764)
the rocks
<05553>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the wind
<07307>_:
and after
<0310>
the wind
<07307>
an earthquake
<07494>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the earthquake
<07494>_:
And after
<0310>
the earthquake
<07494>
a fire
<0784>_;
[but] the LORD
<03068>
[was] not in the fire
<0784>_:
and after
<0310>
the fire
<0784>
a still
<01827>
small
<01851>
voice
<06963>_.
And it was [so], when Elijah
<0452>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that he wrapped
<03874> (8686)
his face
<06440>
in his mantle
<0155>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the entering in
<06607>
of the cave
<04631>_.
And, behold, [there came] a voice
<06963>
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What doest thou here, Elijah
<0452>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have been very
<07065> (8763)
jealous
<07065> (8765)
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_:
because the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
thy covenant
<01285>_,
thrown down
<02040> (8804)
thine altars
<04196>_,
and slain
<02026> (8804)
thy prophets
<05030>
with the sword
<02719>_;
and I, [even] I only, am left
<03498> (8735)_;
and they seek
<01245> (8762)
my life
<05315>_,
to take it away
<03947> (8800)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
return
<07725> (8798)
on thy way
<01870>
to the wilderness
<04057>
of Damascus
<01834>_:
and when thou comest
<0935> (8804)_,
anoint
<04886> (8804)
Hazael
<02371>
[to be] king
<04428>
over Syria
<0758>_:
And Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Nimshi
<05250>
shalt thou anoint
<04886> (8799)
[to be] king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_:
and Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>
of Abelmeholah
<065>
shalt thou anoint
<04886> (8799)
[to be] prophet
<05030>
in thy room. {Elisha: Gr. Eliseus}
And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth
<04422> (8737)
the sword
<02719>
of Hazael
<02371>
shall Jehu
<03058>
slay
<04191> (8686)_:
and him that escapeth
<04422> (8737)
from the sword
<02719>
of Jehu
<03058>
shall Elisha
<0477>
slay
<04191> (8686)_.
Yet I have left
<07604> (8689)
[me] seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
in Israel
<03478>_,
all the knees
<01290>
which have not bowed
<03766> (8804)
unto Baal
<01168>_,
and every mouth
<06310>
which hath not kissed
<05401> (8804)
him. {I have...: or, I will leave}
So he departed
<03212> (8799)
thence, and found
<04672> (8799)
Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>_,
who [was] plowing
<02790> (8802)
[with] twelve
<08147> <06240>
yoke
<06776>
[of oxen] before
<06440>
him, and he with the twelfth
<08147> <06240>_:
and Elijah
<0452>
passed
<05674> (8799)
by him, and cast
<07993> (8686)
his mantle
<0155>
upon him.
And he left
<05800> (8799)
the oxen
<01241>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
after
<0310>
Elijah
<0452>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me, I pray thee, kiss
<05401> (8799)
my father
<01>
and my mother
<0517>_,
and [then] I will follow
<03212> (8799) <0310>
thee. And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go back
<03212> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_:
for what have I done
<06213> (8804)
to thee? {Go...: Heb. Go return}
And he returned back
<07725> (8799)
from him
<0310>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
a yoke
<06776>
of oxen
<01241>_,
and slew
<02076> (8799)
them, and boiled
<01310> (8765)
their flesh
<01320>
with the instruments
<03627>
of the oxen
<01241>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.
Then he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
Elijah
<0452>_,
and ministered
<08334> (8762)
unto him.
And Benhadad
<01130>
the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
gathered
<06908> (0)
all his host
<02428>
together
<06908> (8804)_:
and [there were] thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
kings
<04428>
with him, and horses
<05483>_,
and chariots
<07393>_:
and he went up
<05927> (8799)
and besieged
<06696> (8799)
Samaria
<08111>_,
and warred
<03898> (8735)
against it.
And he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
into the city
<05892>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Benhadad
<01130>_,
Thy silver
<03701>
and thy gold
<02091>
[is] mine; thy wives
<0802>
also and thy children
<01121>_,
[even] the goodliest
<02896>_,
[are] mine.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My lord
<0113>_,
O king
<04428>_,
according to thy saying
<01697>_,
I [am] thine, and all that I have.
And the messengers
<04397>
came again
<07725> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
Benhadad
<01130>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Although I have sent
<07971> (8804)
unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8799)
me thy silver
<03701>_,
and thy gold
<02091>_,
and thy wives
<0802>_,
and thy children
<01121>_;
Yet I will send
<07971> (8799)
my servants
<05650>
unto thee to morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>_,
and they shall search
<02664> (8765)
thine house
<01004>_,
and the houses
<01004>
of thy servants
<05650>_;
and it shall be
<01961> (8804)_,
[that] whatsoever is pleasant
<04261>
in thine eyes
<05869>_,
they shall put
<07760> (8799)
[it] in their hand
<03027>_,
and take [it] away
<03947> (8804)_.
{pleasant: Heb. desirable}
Then the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
called
<07121> (8799)
all the elders
<02205>
of the land
<0776>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Mark
<03045> (8798)_,
I pray you, and see
<07200> (8798)
how this [man] seeketh
<01245> (8764)
mischief
<07451>_:
for he sent
<07971> (8804)
unto me for my wives
<0802>_,
and for my children
<01121>_,
and for my silver
<03701>_,
and for my gold
<02091>_;
and I denied
<04513> (8804)
him not. {I denied...: Heb. I kept not back from him}
And all the elders
<02205>
and all the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not [unto him], nor consent
<014> (8799)_.
Wherefore he said
<0559> (8799)
unto the messengers
<04397>
of Benhadad
<01130>_,
Tell
<0559> (8798)
my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
All that thou didst send
<07971> (8804)
for to thy servant
<05650>
at the first
<07223>
I will do
<06213> (8799)_:
but this thing
<01697>
I may
<03201> (8799)
not do
<06213> (8800)_.
And the messengers
<04397>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and brought
<07725> (0)
him word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
And Benhadad
<01130>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The gods
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
unto me, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
if the dust
<06083>
of Samaria
<08111>
shall suffice
<05606> (8799)
for handfuls
<08168>
for all the people
<05971>
that follow
<07272>
me. {follow...: Heb. are at my feet}
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Tell
<01696> (8761)
[him], Let not him that girdeth
<02296> (8802)
on [his harness] boast
<01984> (8691)
himself as he that putteth it off
<06605> (8764)_.
And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard
<08085> (8800)
this message
<01697>_,
as he [was] drinking
<08354> (8802)_,
he and the kings
<04428>
in the pavilions
<05521>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Set
<07760> (8798)
[yourselves in array]. And they set
<07760> (8799)
[themselves in array] against the city
<05892>_.
{message: Heb. word} {pavilions: or, tents} {Set yourselves...: or, Place the engines. And they placed the engines}
And, behold, there came
<05066> (8738)
a
<0259>
prophet
<05030>
unto Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
all this great
<01419>
multitude
<01995>_?
behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)
it into thine hand
<03027>
this day
<03117>_;
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
{came: Heb. approached}
And Ahab
<0256>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
By whom? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[Even] by the young men
<05288>
of the princes
<08269>
of the provinces
<04082>_.
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who shall order
<0631> (8799)
the battle
<04421>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou. {young...: or, servants} {order: Heb. bind, or, tie}
Then he numbered
<06485> (8799)
the young men
<05288>
of the princes
<08269>
of the provinces
<04082>_,
and they were two
<08147>
hundred
<03967>
and thirty
<07970>
two
<08147>_:
and after
<0310>
them he numbered
<06485> (8804)
all the people
<05971>_,
[even] all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[being] seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>_.
And they went out
<03318> (8799)
at noon
<06672>_.
But Benhadad
<01130>
[was] drinking
<08354> (8802)
himself drunk
<07910>
in the pavilions
<05521>_,
he and the kings
<04428>_,
the thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
kings
<04428>
that helped
<05826> (8802)
him.
And the young men
<05288>
of the princes
<08269>
of the provinces
<04082>
went out
<03318> (8799)
first
<07223>_;
and Benhadad
<01130>
sent out
<07971> (8799)_,
and they told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There are men
<0582>
come out
<03318> (8804)
of Samaria
<08111>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whether they be come out
<03318> (8804)
for peace
<07965>_,
take
<08610> (8798)
them alive
<02416>_;
or whether they be come out
<03318> (8804)
for war
<04421>_,
take
<08610> (8798)
them alive
<02416>_.
So these young men
<05288>
of the princes
<08269>
of the provinces
<04082>
came out
<03318> (8804)
of the city
<05892>_,
and the army
<02428>
which followed
<0310>
them.
And they slew
<05221> (8686)
every one
<0376>
his man
<0376>_:
and the Syrians
<0758>
fled
<05127> (8799)_;
and Israel
<03478>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
them: and Benhadad
<01130>
the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
escaped
<04422> (8735)
on an horse
<05483>
with the horsemen
<06571>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>_,
and slew
<05221> (8689)
the Syrians
<0758>
with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_.
And the prophet
<05030>
came
<05066> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
strengthen
<02388> (8690)
thyself, and mark
<03045> (8798)_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
what thou doest
<06213> (8799)_:
for at the return
<08666>
of the year
<08141>
the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
will come up
<05927> (8802)
against thee.
And the servants
<05650>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Their gods
<0430>
[are] gods
<0430>
of the hills
<02022>_;
therefore they were stronger
<02388> (8804)
than we; but
<0199>
let us fight
<03898> (8735)
against them in the plain
<04334>_,
and surely
<03808>
we shall be stronger
<02388> (8799)
than they.
And do
<06213> (8798)
this thing
<01697>_,
Take
<05493> (8685)
the kings
<04428>
away, every man
<0376>
out of his place
<04725>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
captains
<06346>
in their rooms:
And number
<04487> (8799)
thee an army
<02428>_,
like the army
<02428>
that thou hast lost
<05307> (8802)_,
horse
<05483>
for horse
<05483>_,
and chariot
<07393>
for chariot
<07393>_:
and we will fight
<03898> (8735)
against
<0854>
them in the plain
<04334>_,
[and] surely we shall be stronger
<02388> (8799)
than they. And he hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto their voice
<06963>_,
and did so
<06213> (8799)_.
{that thou...: Heb. that was fallen}
And it came to pass at the return
<08666>
of the year
<08141>_,
that Benhadad
<01130>
numbered
<06485> (8799)
the Syrians
<0758>_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
to Aphek
<0663>_,
to fight
<04421>
against Israel
<03478>_.
{to fight...: Heb. to the war with Israel}
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were numbered
<06485> (8719)_,
and were all present
<03557> (8791)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
them: and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
pitched
<02583> (8799)
before them like two
<08147>
little flocks
<02835>
of kids
<05795>_;
but the Syrians
<0758>
filled
<04390> (8765)
the country
<0776>_.
{were all...: or, were nourished}
And there came
<05066> (8799)
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Because the Syrians
<0758>
have said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
[is] God
<0430>
of the hills
<02022>_,
but he [is] not God
<0430>
of the valleys
<06010>_,
therefore will I deliver
<05414> (8804)
all this great
<01419>
multitude
<01995>
into thine hand
<03027>_,
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
And they pitched
<02583> (8799)
one
<0428>
over against
<05227>
the other
<0428>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
And [so] it was, that in the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>
the battle
<04421>
was joined
<07126> (8799)_:
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
slew
<05221> (8686)
of the Syrians
<0758>
an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_.
But the rest
<03498> (8737)
fled
<05127> (8799)
to Aphek
<0663>_,
into the city
<05892>_;
and [there] a wall
<02346>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon twenty
<06242>
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
of the men
<0376>
[that were] left
<03498> (8737)_.
And Benhadad
<01130>
fled
<05127> (8804)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
into the city
<05892>_,
into an inner
<02315>
chamber
<02315>_.
{into an...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber}
And his servants
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold now, we have heard
<08085> (8804)
that the kings
<04428>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
[are] merciful
<02617>
kings
<04428>_:
let us, I pray thee, put
<07760> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>
on our loins
<04975>_,
and ropes
<02256>
upon our heads
<07218>_,
and go out
<03318> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_:
peradventure he will save
<02421> (8762)
thy life
<05315>_.
So they girded
<02296> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>
on their loins
<04975>_,
and [put] ropes
<02256>
on their heads
<07218>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
Benhadad
<01130>
saith
<0559> (8804)_,
I pray thee, let me live
<02421> (8799) <05315>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?
he [is] my brother
<0251>_.
Now the men
<0582>
did diligently observe
<05172> (8762)
whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily
<04116> (8762)
catch
<02480> (8686)
[it]: and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy brother
<0251>
Benhadad
<01130>_.
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<0935> (8798)
ye, bring
<03947> (8798)
him. Then Benhadad
<01130>
came forth
<03318> (8799)
to him; and he caused him to come up
<05927> (8686)
into the chariot
<04818>_.
And [Benhadad] said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The cities
<05892>_,
which my father
<01>
took
<03947> (8804)
from thy father
<01>_,
I will restore
<07725> (8686)_;
and thou shalt make
<07760> (8799)
streets
<02351>
for thee in Damascus
<01834>_,
as my father
<01>
made
<07760> (8804)
in Samaria
<08111>_.
Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away
<07971> (8762)
with this covenant
<01285>_.
So he made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with him, and sent him away
<07971> (8762)_.
{streets: or, market places}
And a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto his neighbour
<07453>
in the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>
refused
<03985> (8762)
to smite
<05221> (8687)
him.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
behold, as soon as thou art departed
<01980> (8802)
from me, a lion
<0738>
shall slay
<05221> (8689)
thee. And as soon as he was departed
<03212> (8799)
from him
<0681>_,
a lion
<0738>
found
<04672> (8799)
him, and slew
<05221> (8686)
him.
Then he found
<04672> (8799)
another
<0312>
man
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him, so that in smiting
<05221> (8687)
he wounded
<06481> (8800)
[him]. {so that...: Heb. smiting and wounding}
