1 Kings 15:24

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

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>_.

22:3

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}

22:4

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>_.

22:5

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>_.

22:6

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>_.

22:7

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?

22:8

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.

22:9

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}

22:10

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}

22:11

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.

22:12

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>_.

22:13

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>_.

22:14

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)_.

22:15

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>_.

22:16

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>_?

22:17

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>_.

22:18

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>_?

22:19

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>_.

22:20

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}

22:21

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.

22:22

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.

22:23

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.

22:24

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?

22:25

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}

22:26

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>_;

22:27

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>_.

22:28

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.

22:29

So the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went up
<05927> (8799)

to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.

22:30

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}

22:31

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>_.

22:32

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)_.

22:33

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.

22:34

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}

22:35

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}

22:36

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>_.

22:37

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}

22:38

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)_.

22:39

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>_?

22:40

So Ahab
<0256>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and Ahaziah
<0274>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

22:41

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>_.

22:42

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>_.

22:43

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>_.

22:44

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

made peace
<07999> (8686)

with the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:45

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>_?

22:46

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>_.

22:47

[There was] then no king
<04428>

in Edom
<0123>_:

a deputy
<05324> (8737)

[was] king
<04428>_.

22:48

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}

22:49

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.

22:50

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

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

3:1

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>_.

3:2

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

17:1

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}

17:2

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:3

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>_.

17:4

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.

17:5

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>_.

17:6

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>_.

17:7

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}

17:8

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:9

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}

17:10

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)_.

17:11

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>_.

17:12

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)_.

17:13

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>_.

17:14

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}

17:15

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}

17:16

[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}

17:17

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.

17:18

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>_?

17:19

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>_.

17:20

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>_?

17:21

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}

17:22

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)_.

17:23

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>_.

17:24

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>_.

18:1

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>_.

18:2

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>_.

18:3

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}

18:4

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}

18:5

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}

18:6

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.

18:7

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>_?

18:8

And he answered
<0559> (8799)

him, I [am]: go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

18:9

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?

18:10

[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.

18:11

And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

18:12

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>_.

18:13

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>_?

18:14

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.

18:15

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>_.

18:16

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>_.

18:17

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>_?

18:18

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>_.

18:19

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>_.

18:20

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>_.

18:21

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}

18:22

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>_.

18:23

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]:

18:24

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}

18:25

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].

18:26

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}

18:27

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}

18:28

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}

18:29

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}

18:30

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)_.

18:31

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>_:

18:32

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>_.

18:33

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>_.

18:34

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)_.

18:35

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}

18:36

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>_.

18:37

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>_.

18:38

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>_.

18:39

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>_.

18:40

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}

18:41

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}

18:42

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>_,

18:43

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>_.

18:44

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}

18:45

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>_.

18:46

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}

19:1

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>_.

19:2

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>_.

19:3

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.

19:4

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}

19:5

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)_.

19:6

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}

19:7

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.

19:8

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>_.

19:9

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>_?

19:10

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)_.

19:11

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>_:

19:12

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>_.

19:13

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>_?

19:14

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)_.

19:15

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>_:

19:16

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}

19:17

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)_.

19:18

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}

19:19

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.

19:20

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}

19:21

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.

20:1

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.

20:2

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>_,

20:3

Thy silver
<03701>

and thy gold
<02091>

[is] mine; thy wives
<0802>

also and thy children
<01121>_,

[even] the goodliest
<02896>_,

[are] mine.

20:4

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.

20:5

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>_;

20:6

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}

20:7

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}

20:8

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)_.

20:9

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)_.

20:10

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}

20:11

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)_.

20:12

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}

20:13

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}

20:14

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}

20:15

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>_.

20:16

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.

20:17

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>_.

20:18

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>_.

20:19

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.

20:20

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>_.

20:21

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>_.

20:22

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.

20:23

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.

20:24

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:

20:25

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}

20:26

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}

20:27

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}

20:28

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>_.

20:29

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>_.

20:30

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}

20:31

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>_.

20:32

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>_.

20:33

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>_.

20:34

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}

20:35

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.

20:36

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.

20:37

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}
