1:1

Then Moab
<04124>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

1:2

And Ahaziah
<0274>

fell down
<05307> (8799)

through a lattice
<07639>

in his upper chamber
<05944>

that [was] in Samaria
<08111>_,

and was sick
<02470> (8799)_:

and he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

enquire
<01875> (8798)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>

whether I shall recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_.

1:3

But the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8765)

to Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go up
<05927> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the messengers
<04397>

of the king
<04428>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and say
<01696> (8761)

unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

[that] ye go
<01980> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_?

1:4

Now therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

from that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

And Elijah
<0452>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

{Thou shalt...: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it}

1:5

And when the messengers
<04397>

turned back
<07725> (8799)

unto him, he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why are ye now
<02088>

turned back
<07725> (8804)_?

1:6

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, There came
<05927> (0)

a man
<0376>

up
<05927> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

us, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

turn again
<07725> (8798)

unto the king
<04428>

that sent
<07971> (8804)

you, and say
<01696> (8765)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[Is it] not because [there is] not a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

[that] thou sendest
<07971> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_?

therefore thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

from that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

1:7

And he said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, What manner
<04941>

of man
<0376>

[was he] which came up
<05927> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

you, and told
<01696> (8762)

you these words
<01697>_?

{What...: Heb. What was the manner of the man}

1:8

And they answered
<0559> (8799)

him, [He was] an hairy
<08181>

man
<01167> <0376>_,

and girt
<0247> (8803)

with a girdle
<0232>

of leather
<05785>

about his loins
<04975>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_.

1:9

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him a captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

to him: and, behold, he sat
<03427> (8802)

on the top
<07218>

of an hill
<02022>_.

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, Thou man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

the king
<04428>

hath said
<01696> (8765)_,

Come down
<03381> (8798)_.

1:10

And Elijah
<0452>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

to the captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>_,

If I [be] a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

then let fire
<0784>

come down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consume
<0398> (8799)

thee and thy fifty
<02572>_.

And there came down
<03381> (8799)

fire
<0784>

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

him and his fifty
<02572>_.

1:11

Again
<07725> (8799)

also he sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him another
<0312>

captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And he answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, O man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

thus hath the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Come down
<03381> (8798)

quickly
<04120>_.

1:12

And Elijah
<0452>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, If I [be] a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

let fire
<0784>

come down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consume
<0398> (8799)

thee and thy fifty
<02572>_.

And the fire
<0784>

of God
<0430>

came down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

him and his fifty
<02572>_.

1:13

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

a captain
<08269>

of the third
<07992>

fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And the third
<07992>

captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and fell
<03766> (8799)

on his knees
<01290>

before
<05048>

Elijah
<0452>_,

and besought
<02603> (8691)

him, and said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, O man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

I pray thee, let my life
<05315>_,

and the life
<05315>

of these fifty
<02572>

thy servants
<05650>_,

be precious
<03365> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>_.

{fell: Heb. bowed}

1:14

Behold, there came
<03381> (0)

fire
<0784>

down
<03381> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and burnt up
<0398> (8799)

the two
<08147>

captains
<08269>

of the former
<07223>

fifties
<02572>

with their fifties
<02572>_:

therefore let my life
<05315>

now be precious
<03365> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>_.

1:15

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto Elijah
<0452>_,

Go down
<03381> (8798)

with him: be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of him
<06440>_.

And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

with him unto the king
<04428>_.

1:16

And he said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Forasmuch as thou hast sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_,

[is it] not because [there is] no God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of his word
<01697>_?

therefore thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

off that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

1:17

So he died
<04191> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which Elijah
<0452>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

And Jehoram
<03088>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

because he had no son
<01121>_.
