2 Kings 2:1--7:20

2:1
And it came to pass, when the LORD
<03068>
would take up
<05927> (8687)
Elijah
<0452>
into heaven
<08064>
by a whirlwind
<05591>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
went
<03212> (8799)
with Elisha
<0477>
from Gilgal
<01537>_.
2:2
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
Tarry
<03427> (8798)
here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Bethel
<01008>_.
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
[unto him, As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. So they went down
<03381> (8799)
to Bethel
<01008>_.
2:3
And the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
that [were] at Bethel
<01008>
came forth
<03318> (8799)
to Elisha
<0477>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou that the LORD
<03068>
will take away
<03947> (8802)
thy master
<0113>
from thy head
<07218>
to day
<03117>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.
2:4
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Elisha
<0477>_,
tarry
<03427> (8798)
here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Jericho
<03405>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. So they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jericho
<03405>_.
2:5
And the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
that [were] at Jericho
<03405>
came
<05066> (8799)
to Elisha
<0477>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou that the LORD
<03068>
will take away
<03947> (8802)
thy master
<0113>
from thy head
<07218>
to day
<03117>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.
2:6
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Tarry
<03427> (8798)_,
I pray thee, here; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Jordan
<03383>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. And they two
<08147>
went on
<03212> (8799)_.
2:7
And fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
went
<01980> (8804)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
to view
<05048>
afar off
<07350>_:
and they two
<08147>
stood
<05975> (8804)
by Jordan
<03383>_.
{to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}
2:8
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
his mantle
<0155>_,
and wrapped [it] together
<01563> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the waters
<04325>_,
and they were divided
<02673> (8735)
hither and thither, so that they two
<08147>
went over
<05674> (8799)
on dry
<02724>
ground.
2:9
And it came to pass, when they were gone over
<05674> (8800)_,
that Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
Ask
<07592> (8798)
what I shall do
<06213> (8799)
for thee, before I be taken away
<03947> (8735)
from thee. And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I pray thee, let a double
<08147>
portion
<06310>
of thy spirit
<07307>
be upon me.
2:10
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast asked
<07592> (8800)
a hard thing
<07185> (8689)_:
[nevertheless], if thou see
<07200> (8799)
me [when I am] taken
<03947> (8795)
from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so]. {Thou hast...: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}
2:11
And it came to pass, as they still
<01980> (8800)
went on
<01980> (8802)_,
and talked
<01696> (8763)_,
that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot
<07393>
of fire
<0784>_,
and horses
<05483>
of fire
<0784>_,
and parted
<06504> (8686)
them both
<08147>
asunder
<0996>_;
and Elijah
<0452>
went up
<05927> (8799)
by a whirlwind
<05591>
into heaven
<08064>_.
2:12
And Elisha
<0477>
saw
<07200> (8802)
[it], and he cried
<06817> (8764)_,
My father
<01>_,
my father
<01>_,
the chariot
<07393>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the horsemen
<06571>
thereof. And he saw
<07200> (8804)
him no more: and he took hold
<02388> (8686)
of his own clothes
<0899>_,
and rent
<07167> (8799)
them in two
<08147>
pieces
<07168>_.
2:13
He took up
<07311> (8686)
also the mantle
<0155>
of Elijah
<0452>
that fell
<05307> (8804)
from him, and went back
<07725> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
by the bank
<08193>
of Jordan
<03383>_;
{bank: Heb. lip}
2:14
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the mantle
<0155>
of Elijah
<0452>
that fell
<05307> (8804)
from him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
the waters
<04325>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Where [is] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Elijah
<0452>_?
and when he also had smitten
<05221> (8686)
the waters
<04325>_,
they parted
<02673> (8735)
hither and thither: and Elisha
<0477>
went over
<05674> (8799)_.
2:15
And when the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
which [were] to view at Jericho
<03405>
saw
<07200> (8799)
him, they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The spirit
<07307>
of Elijah
<0452>
doth rest
<05117> (8804)
on Elisha
<0477>_.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves to the ground
<0776>
before him.
2:16
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold now, there be
<03426>
with thy servants
<05650>
fifty
<02572>
strong
<02428>
men
<01121> <0582>_;
let them go
<03212> (8799)_,
we pray thee, and seek
<01245> (8762)
thy master
<0113>_:
lest peradventure the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath taken him up
<05375> (8804)_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
him upon some
<0259>
mountain
<02022>_,
or into some
<0259>
valley
<01516>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Ye shall not send
<07971> (8799)_.
{strong...: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains}
2:17
And when they urged
<06484> (8799)
him till he was ashamed
<0954> (8800)_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send
<07971> (8798)_.
They sent
<07971> (8799)
therefore fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>_;
and they sought
<01245> (8762)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_,
but found
<04672> (8804)
him not.
2:18
And when they came again
<07725> (8799)
to him, (for he tarried
<03427> (8802)
at Jericho
<03405>,)
he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Did I not say
<0559> (8804)
unto you, Go
<03212> (8799)
not?
2:19
And the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
Behold, I pray thee, the situation
<04186>
of this city
<05892>
[is] pleasant
<02896>_,
as my lord
<0113>
seeth
<07200> (8802)_:
but the water
<04325>
[is] naught
<07451>_,
and the ground
<0776>
barren
<07921> (8764)_.
{barren: Heb. causing to miscarry}
2:20
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03947> (8798)
me a new
<02319>
cruse
<06746>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
salt
<04417>
therein. And they brought
<03947> (8799)
[it] to him.
2:21
And he went forth
<03318> (8799)
unto the spring
<04161>
of the waters
<04325>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
the salt
<04417>
in there, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
I have healed
<07495> (8765)
these waters
<04325>_;
there shall not be from thence any more death
<04194>
or barren
<07921> (8764)
[land].
2:22
So the waters
<04325>
were healed
<07495> (8735)
unto this day
<03117>_,
according to the saying
<01697>
of Elisha
<0477>
which he spake
<01696> (8765)_.
2:23
And he went up
<05927> (8799)
from thence unto Bethel
<01008>_:
and as he was going up
<05927> (8802)
by the way
<01870>_,
there came forth
<03318> (8804)
little
<06996>
children
<05288>
out of the city
<05892>_,
and mocked
<07046> (8691)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
thou bald head
<07142>_;
go up
<05927> (8798)_,
thou bald head
<07142>_.
2:24
And he turned
<06437> (8799)
back
<0310>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)
on them, and cursed
<07043> (8762)
them in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And there came forth
<03318> (8799)
two
<08147>
she bears
<01677>
out of the wood
<03293>_,
and tare
<01234> (8762)
forty
<0705>
and two
<08147>
children
<03206>
of them.
2:25
And he went
<03212> (8799)
from thence to mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_,
and from thence he returned
<07725> (8804)
to Samaria
<08111>_.
3:1
Now Jehoram
<03088>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Israel
<03478>
in Samaria
<08111>
the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
3:2
And he wrought
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
but not like his father
<01>_,
and like his mother
<0517>_:
for he put away
<05493> (8686)
the image
<04676>
of Baal
<01168>
that his father
<01>
had made
<06213> (8804)_.
{image: Heb. statue}
3:3
Nevertheless he cleaved
<01692> (8804)
unto the sins
<02403>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
which made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_;
he departed
<05493> (8804)
not therefrom.
3:4
And Mesha
<04338>
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
was a sheepmaster
<05349>_,
and rendered
<07725> (8689)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
lambs
<03733>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
rams
<0352>_,
with the wool
<06785>_.
3:5
But it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>
was dead
<04194>_,
that the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
rebelled
<06586> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
3:6
And king
<04428>
Jehoram
<03088>
went out
<03318> (8799)
of Samaria
<08111>
the same time
<03117>_,
and numbered
<06485> (8799)
all Israel
<03478>_.
3:7
And he went
<03212> (8799)
and sent
<07971> (8799)
to Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
hath rebelled
<06586> (8804)
against me: wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with me against Moab
<04124>
to battle
<04421>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go up
<05927> (8799)_:
I [am] as thou [art], my people
<05971>
as thy people
<05971>_,
[and] my horses
<05483>
as thy horses
<05483>_.
3:8
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which way
<01870>
shall we go up
<05927> (8799)_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
The way
<01870>
through the wilderness
<04057>
of Edom
<0123>_.
3:9
So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went
<03212> (8799)_,
and the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>_:
and they fetched a compass
<05437> (8799)
of seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>_:
and there was no water
<04325>
for the host
<04264>_,
and for the cattle
<0929>
that followed
<07272>
them. {that...: Heb. at their feet}
3:10
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas
<0162>_!
that the LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (0)
these three
<07969>
kings
<04428>
together
<07121> (8804)_,
to deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Moab
<04124>_!
3:11
But Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not here a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that we may enquire
<01875> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>
by him? And one
<0259>
of the king
<04428>
of Israel's
<03478>
servants
<05650>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [is] Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>_,
which poured
<03332> (8804)
water
<04325>
on the hands
<03027>
of Elijah
<0452>_.
3:12
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
with him. So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
and the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to him.
3:13
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
What have I to do with thee? get
<03212> (8798)
thee to the prophets
<05030>
of thy father
<01>_,
and to the prophets
<05030>
of thy mother
<0517>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Nay: for the LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (0)
these three
<07969>
kings
<04428>
together
<07121> (8804)_,
to deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Moab
<04124>_.
3:14
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
surely, were it not that
<03884>
I regard
<05375> (8802)
the presence
<06440>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
I would not look
<05027> (8686)
toward thee, nor see
<07200> (8799)
thee.
3:15
But now bring
<03947> (8798)
me a minstrel
<05059> (8764)_.
And it came to pass, when the minstrel
<05059> (8764)
played
<05059> (8763)_,
that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
came upon him.
3:16
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Make
<06213> (8800)
this valley
<05158>
full of ditches
<01356>_.
3:17
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
wind
<07307>_,
neither shall ye see
<07200> (8799)
rain
<01653>_;
yet that valley
<05158>
shall be filled
<04390> (8735)
with water
<04325>_,
that ye may drink
<08354> (8804)_,
both ye, and your cattle
<04735>_,
and your beasts
<0929>_.
3:18
And this is [but] a light thing
<07043> (8738)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
he will deliver
<05414> (8804)
the Moabites
<04124>
also into your hand
<03027>_.
3:19
And ye shall smite
<05221> (8689)
every fenced
<04013>
city
<05892>_,
and every choice
<04004>
city
<05892>_,
and shall fell
<05307> (8686)
every good
<02896>
tree
<06086>_,
and stop
<05640> (8799)
all wells
<04599>
of water
<04325>_,
and mar
<03510> (8686)
every good
<02896>
piece
<02513>
of land with stones
<068>_.
{mar: Heb. grieve}
3:20
And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,
when the meat offering
<04503>
was offered
<05927> (8800)_,
that, behold, there came
<0935> (8802)
water
<04325>
by the way
<01870>
of Edom
<0123>_,
and the country
<0776>
was filled
<04390> (8735)
with water
<04325>_.
3:21
And when all the Moabites
<04124>
heard
<08085> (8804)
that the kings
<04428>
were come up
<05927> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against them, they gathered
<06817> (8735)
all that were able to put
<02296> (8802)
on armour
<02290>_,
and upward
<04605>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the border
<01366>_.
{gathered: Heb. were cried together} {put on...: Heb. gird himself with a girdle}
3:22
And they rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and the sun
<08121>
shone
<02224> (8804)
upon the water
<04325>_,
and the Moabites
<04124>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the water
<04325>
on the other side
<05048>
[as] red
<0122>
as blood
<01818>_:
3:23
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] blood
<01818>_:
the kings
<04428>
are surely
<02717> (8715)
slain
<02717> (8738)_,
and they have smitten
<05221> (8686)
one
<0376>
another
<07453>_:
now therefore, Moab
<04124>_,
to the spoil
<07998>_.
{slain: Heb. destroyed}
3:24
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to the camp
<04264>
of Israel
<03478>_,
the Israelites
<03478>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Moabites
<04124>_,
so that they fled
<05127> (8799)
before
<06440>
them: but they went forward
<05221> (8686)
smiting
<05221> (8687)
the Moabites
<04124>_,
even in [their] country. {they went...: or, they smote in it even smiting}
3:25
And they beat down
<02040> (8799)
the cities
<05892>_,
and on every good
<02896>
piece
<02513>
of land cast
<07993> (8686)
every man
<0376>
his stone
<068>_,
and filled
<04390> (8765)
it; and they stopped
<05640> (8799)
all the wells
<04599>
of water
<04325>_,
and felled
<05307> (8686)
all the good
<02896>
trees
<06086>_:
only in Kirharaseth
<07025>
left
<07604> (8689)
they the stones
<068>
thereof; howbeit the slingers
<07051>
went about
<05437> (8799)
[it], and smote
<05221> (8686)
it. {only in...: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth}
3:26
And when the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the battle
<04421>
was too sore
<02388> (8804)
for him, he took
<03947> (8799)
with him seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
swords
<02719>_,
to break through
<01234> (8687)
[even] unto the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>_:
but they could
<03201> (8804)
not.
3:27
Then he took
<03947> (8799)
his eldest
<01060>
son
<01121>
that should have reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead, and offered
<05927> (8686)
him [for] a burnt offering
<05930>
upon the wall
<02346>_.
And there was great
<01419>
indignation
<07110>
against Israel
<03478>_:
and they departed
<05265> (8799)
from him, and returned
<07725> (8799)
to [their own] land
<0776>_.
4:1
Now there cried
<06817> (8804)
a certain
<0259>
woman
<0802>
of the wives
<0802>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
my husband
<0376>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_;
and thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
that thy servant
<05650>
did fear
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and the creditor
<05383> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
to take
<03947> (8800)
unto him my two
<08147>
sons
<03206>
to be bondmen
<05650>_.
4:2
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for thee? tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what hast
<03426>
thou in the house
<01004>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thine handmaid
<08198>
hath not any thing in the house
<01004>_,
save a pot
<0610>
of oil
<08081>_.
4:3
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
borrow
<07592> (8798)
thee vessels
<03627>
abroad
<02351>
of all thy neighbours
<07934>_,
[even] empty
<07386>
vessels
<03627>_;
borrow not a few
<04591> (8686)_.
{borrow not...: or, scant not}
4:4
And when thou art come in
<0935> (8804)_,
thou shalt shut
<05462> (8804)
the door
<01817>
upon thee and upon thy sons
<01121>_,
and shalt pour out
<03332> (8804)
into all those vessels
<03627>_,
and thou shalt set aside
<05265> (8686)
that which is full
<04392>_.
4:5
So she went
<03212> (8799)
from him, and shut
<05462> (8799)
the door
<01817>
upon her and upon
<01157>
her sons
<01121>_,
who
<01992>
brought
<05066> (8688)
[the vessels] to her; and she poured out
<03332> (8716)_.
4:6
And it came to pass, when the vessels
<03627>
were full
<04390> (8800)_,
that she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her son
<01121>_,
Bring
<05066> (8685)
me yet a vessel
<03627>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, [There is] not a vessel
<03627>
more. And the oil
<08081>
stayed
<05975> (8799)_.
4:7
Then she came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
sell
<04376> (8798)
the oil
<08081>_,
and pay
<07999> (8761)
thy debt
<05386>_,
and live
<02421> (8799)
thou and thy children
<01121>
of the rest
<03498> (8737)_.
{debt: or, creditor}
4:8
And it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that Elisha
<0477>
passed
<05674> (8799)
to Shunem
<07766>_,
where [was] a great
<01419>
woman
<0802>_;
and she constrained
<02388> (8686)
him to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_.
And [so] it was, [that] as oft
<01767>
as he passed by
<05674> (8800)_,
he turned
<05493> (8799)
in thither to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_.
{it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day} {constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him}
4:9
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her husband
<0376>_,
Behold now, I perceive
<03045> (8804)
that this [is] an holy
<06918>
man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
which passeth
<05674> (8802)
by us continually
<08548>_.
4:10
Let us make
<06213> (8799)
a little
<06996>
chamber
<05944>_,
I pray thee, on the wall
<07023>_;
and let us set
<07760> (8799)
for him there a bed
<04296>_,
and a table
<07979>_,
and a stool
<03678>_,
and a candlestick
<04501>_:
and it shall be, when he cometh
<0935> (8800)
to us, that he shall turn
<05493> (8799)
in thither.
4:11
And it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that he came
<0935> (8799)
thither, and he turned
<05493> (8799)
into the chamber
<05944>_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
there.
4:12
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>
his servant
<05288>_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
this Shunammite
<07767>_.
And when he had called
<07121> (8799)
her, she stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
him.
4:13
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Say
<0559> (8798)
now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful
<02729> (8804)
for us with all this care
<02731>_;
what [is] to be done
<06213> (8800)
for thee? wouldest
<03426>
thou be spoken
<01696> (8763)
for to the king
<04428>_,
or to the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>_?
And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I dwell
<03427> (8802)
among
<08432>
mine own people
<05971>_.
4:14
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What then [is] to be done
<06213> (8800)
for her? And Gehazi
<01522>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Verily
<061>
she hath no child
<01121>_,
and her husband
<0376>
is old
<02204> (8804)_.
4:15
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
her. And when he had called
<07121> (8799)
her, she stood
<05975> (8799)
in the door
<06607>_.
4:16
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
About this season
<04150>_,
according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_,
thou shalt embrace
<02263> (8802)
a son
<01121>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay, my lord
<0113>_,
[thou] man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
do not lie
<03576> (8762)
unto thine handmaid
<08198>_.
{season: Heb. set time}
4:17
And the woman
<0802>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>
at that season
<04150>
that Elisha
<0477>
had said
<01696> (8765)
unto her, according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_.
4:18
And when the child
<03206>
was grown
<01431> (8799)_,
it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that he went out
<03318> (8799)
to his father
<01>
to the reapers
<07114> (8802)_.
4:19
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
My head
<07218>_,
my head
<07218>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to a lad
<05288>_,
Carry
<05375> (8798)
him to his mother
<0517>_.
4:20
And when he had taken
<05375> (8799)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his mother
<0517>_,
he sat
<03427> (8799)
on her knees
<01290>
till noon
<06672>_,
and [then] died
<04191> (8799)_.
4:21
And she went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him on the bed
<04296>
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
[the door] upon him, and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
4:22
And she called
<07121> (8799)
unto her husband
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
me, I pray thee, one
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>_,
and one
<0259>
of the asses
<0860>_,
that I may run
<07323> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and come again
<07725> (8799)_.
4:23
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore wilt thou go
<01980> (8802)
to him to day
<03117>_?
[it is] neither new moon
<02320>_,
nor sabbath
<07676>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It shall be] well
<07965>_.
{well: Heb. peace}
4:24
Then she saddled
<02280> (8799)
an ass
<0860>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to her servant
<05288>_,
Drive
<05090> (8798)_,
and go forward
<03212> (8798)_;
slack
<06113> (8799)
not [thy] riding
<07392> (8800)
for me, except I bid
<0559> (8804)
thee. {slack...: Heb. restrain not for me to ride}
4:25
So she went
<03212> (8799)
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_.
And it came to pass, when the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
saw her afar off
<07200> (8800)_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>
his servant
<05288>_,
Behold, [yonder is] that
<01975>
Shunammite
<07767>_:
4:26
Run
<07323> (8798)
now, I pray thee, to meet
<07125> (8800)
her, and say
<0559> (8798)
unto her, [Is it] well
<07965>
with thee? [is it] well
<07965>
with thy husband
<0376>_?
[is it] well
<07965>
with the child
<03206>_?
And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] well
<07965>_.
4:27
And when she came
<0935> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to the hill
<02022>_,
she caught
<02388> (8686)
him by the feet
<07272>_:
but Gehazi
<01522>
came near
<05066> (8799)
to thrust her away
<01920> (8800)_.
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let her alone
<07503> (8685)_;
for her soul
<05315>
[is] vexed
<04843> (8804)
within her: and the LORD
<03068>
hath hid
<05956> (8689)
[it] from me, and hath not told
<05046> (8689)
me. {him...: Heb. by his feet} {vexed: Heb. bitter}
4:28
Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Did I desire
<07592> (8804)
a son
<01121>
of my lord
<0113>_?
did I not say
<0559> (8804)_,
Do not deceive
<07952> (8686)
me?
4:29
Then he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>_,
Gird up
<02296> (8798)
thy loins
<04975>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
my staff
<04938>
in thine hand
<03027>_,
and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:
if thou meet
<04672> (8799)
any man
<0376>_,
salute
<01288> (8762)
him not; and if any
<0376>
salute
<01288> (8762)
thee, answer him not again
<06030> (8799)_:
and lay
<07760> (8804)
my staff
<04938>
upon the face
<06440>
of the child
<05288>_.
4:30
And the mother
<0517>
of the child
<05288>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
her.
4:31
And Gehazi
<01522>
passed on
<05674> (8804)
before
<06440>
them, and laid
<07760> (8799)
the staff
<04938>
upon the face
<06440>
of the child
<05288>_;
but [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,
nor hearing
<07182>_.
Wherefore he went again
<07725> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The child
<05288>
is not awaked
<06974> (8689)_.
{hearing: Heb. attention}
4:32
And when Elisha
<0477>
was come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_,
behold, the child
<05288>
was dead
<04191> (8801)_,
[and] laid
<07901> (8716)
upon his bed
<04296>_.
4:33
He went in
<0935> (8799)
therefore, and shut
<05462> (8799)
the door
<01817>
upon them twain
<08147>_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
4:34
And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
upon the child
<03206>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
his mouth
<06310>
upon his mouth
<06310>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
upon his eyes
<05869>_,
and his hands
<03709>
upon his hands
<03709>_:
and he stretched
<01457> (8799)
himself upon the child; and the flesh
<01320>
of the child
<03206>
waxed warm
<02552> (8799)_.
4:35
Then he returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the house
<01004>
to
<0259> <02008>
and fro
<0259> <02008>_;
and went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and stretched
<01457> (8799)
himself upon him: and the child
<05288>
sneezed
<02237> (8779)
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_,
and the child
<05288>
opened
<06491> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_.
{to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither}
4:36
And he called
<07121> (8799)
Gehazi
<01522>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
this Shunammite
<07767>_.
So he called
<07121> (8799)
her. And when she was come in
<0935> (8799)
unto him, he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take up
<05375> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_.
4:37
Then she went in
<0935> (8799)_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
at his feet
<07272>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
herself to the ground
<0776>_,
and took up
<05375> (8799)
her son
<01121>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
4:38
And Elisha
<0477>
came again
<07725> (8804)
to Gilgal
<01537>_:
and [there was] a dearth
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_;
and the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
[were] sitting
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
him: and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servant
<05288>_,
Set
<08239> (8798)
on the great
<01419>
pot
<05518>_,
and seethe
<01310> (8761)
pottage
<05138>
for the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>_.
4:39
And one
<0259>
went out
<03318> (8799)
into the field
<07704>
to gather
<03950> (8763)
herbs
<0219>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
a wild
<07704>
vine
<01612>_,
and gathered
<03950> (8762)
thereof wild
<07704>
gourds
<06498>
his lap
<0899>
full
<04393>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and shred
<06398> (8762)
[them] into the pot
<05518>
of pottage
<05138>_:
for they knew
<03045> (8804)
[them] not.
4:40
So they poured out
<03332> (8799)
for the men
<0582>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_.
And it came to pass, as they were eating
<0398> (8800)
of the pottage
<05138>_,
that they cried out
<06817> (8804)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O [thou] man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
[there is] death
<04194>
in the pot
<05518>_.
And they could
<03201> (8804)
not eat
<0398> (8800)
[thereof].
4:41
But he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Then bring
<03947> (8798)
meal
<07058>_.
And he cast
<07993> (8686)
[it] into the pot
<05518>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Pour out
<03332> (8798)
for the people
<05971>_,
that they may eat
<0398> (8799)_.
And there was no harm
<01697> <07451>
in the pot
<05518>_.
{harm: Heb. evil thing}
4:42
And there came
<0935> (8802)
a man
<0376>
from Baalshalisha
<01190>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
bread
<03899>
of the firstfruits
<01061>_,
twenty
<06242>
loaves
<03899>
of barley
<08184>_,
and full ears of corn
<03759>
in the husk
<06861>
thereof. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
unto the people
<05971>_,
that they may eat
<0398> (8799)_.
{the husk...: or, his scrip, or, garment}
4:43
And his servitor
<08334> (8764)
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What, should I set
<05414> (8799)
this before
<06440>
an hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_?
He said again
<0559> (8799)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
the people
<05971>_,
that they may eat
<0398> (8799)_:
for thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
They shall eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and shall leave
<03498> (8687)
[thereof].
4:44
So he set
<05414> (8799)
[it] before
<06440>
them, and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and left
<03498> (8686)
[thereof], according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
5:1
Now Naaman
<05283>_,
captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
was a great
<01419>
man
<0376>
with
<06440>
his master
<0113>_,
and honourable
<05375> (8803)_,
because by him the LORD
<03068>
had given
<05414> (8804)
deliverance
<08668>
unto Syria
<0758>_:
he was also a mighty
<01368>
man
<0376>
in valour
<02428>_,
[but he was] a leper
<06879> (8794)_.
{with: Heb. before} {honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance} {deliverance: or, victory}
5:2
And the Syrians
<0758>
had gone out
<03318> (8804)
by companies
<01416>_,
and had brought away captive
<07617> (8799)
out of the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>
a little
<06996>
maid
<05291>_;
and she waited on
<06440>
Naaman's
<05283>
wife
<0802>_.
{waited...: Heb. was before}
5:3
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her mistress
<01404>_,
Would
<0305>
God my lord
<0113>
[were] with
<06440>
the prophet
<05030>
that [is] in Samaria
<08111>_!
for
<0227>
he would recover
<0622> (8799)
him of his leprosy
<06883>_.
{with: Heb. before} {recover: Heb. gather in}
5:4
And [one] went in
<0935> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
his lord
<0113>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus and thus said
<01696> (8765)
the maid
<05291>
that [is] of the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_.
5:5
And the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go to
<03212> (8798)_,
go
<0935> (8798)_,
and I will send
<07971> (8799)
a letter
<05612>
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And he departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
with him
<03027>
ten
<06235>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_,
and six
<08337>
thousand
<0505>
[pieces] of gold
<02091>_,
and ten
<06235>
changes
<02487>
of raiment
<0899>_.
{with...: Heb. in his hand}
5:6
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
the letter
<05612>
to the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Now when this letter
<05612>
is come
<0935> (8800)
unto thee, behold, I have [therewith] sent
<07971> (8804)
Naaman
<05283>
my servant
<05650>
to thee, that thou mayest recover
<0622> (8804)
him of his leprosy
<06883>_.
5:7
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
had read
<07121> (8800)
the letter
<05612>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I God
<0430>_,
to kill
<04191> (8687)
and to make alive
<02421> (8687)_,
that this man
<02088>
doth send
<07971> (8802)
unto me to recover
<0622> (8800)
a man
<0376>
of his leprosy
<06883>_?
wherefore
<0389>
consider
<03045> (8798)_,
I pray you, and see
<07200> (8798)
how he seeketh a quarrel
<0579> (8693)
against me.
5:8
And it was [so], when Elisha
<0477>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
that the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
had rent
<07167> (8804)
his clothes
<0899>_,
that he sent
<07971> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Wherefore hast thou rent
<07167> (8804)
thy clothes
<0899>_?
let him come
<0935> (8799)
now to me, and he shall know
<03045> (8799)
that there is
<03426>
a prophet
<05030>
in Israel
<03478>_.
5:9
So Naaman
<05283>
came
<0935> (8799)
with his horses
<05483>
and with his chariot
<07393>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
at the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>
of Elisha
<0477>_.
5:10
And Elisha
<0477>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a messenger
<04397>
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)
and wash
<07364> (8804)
in Jordan
<03383>
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_,
and thy flesh
<01320>
shall come again
<07725> (8799)
to thee, and thou shalt be clean
<02891> (8798)_.
5:11
But Naaman
<05283>
was wroth
<07107> (8799)_,
and went away
<03212> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I thought
<0559> (8804)_,
He will surely
<03318> (8800)
come out
<03318> (8799)
to me, and stand
<05975> (8804)_,
and call
<07121> (8804)
on the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
and strike
<05130> (8689)
his hand
<03027>
over the place
<04725>_,
and recover
<0622> (8804)
the leper
<06879> (8794)_.
{I thought: Heb. I said} {I thought...: or, I said with myself, He will surely come out, etc} {strike: Heb. move up and down}
5:12
[Are] not Abana
<071> (8676) <0549>
and Pharpar
<06554>_,
rivers
<05104>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
better
<02896>
than all the waters
<04325>
of Israel
<03478>_?
may I not wash
<07364> (8799)
in them, and be clean
<02891> (8804)_?
So he turned
<06437> (8799)
and went away
<03212> (8799)
in a rage
<02534>_.
{Abana: or, Amana}
5:13
And his servants
<05650>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My father
<01>_,
[if] the prophet
<05030>
had bid
<01696> (8765)
thee [do some] great
<01419>
thing
<01697>_,
wouldest thou not have done
<06213> (8799)
[it]? how much rather then
<0637>_,
when he saith
<0559> (8804)
to thee, Wash
<07364> (8798)_,
and be clean
<02891> (8798)_?
5:14
Then went he down
<03381> (8799)_,
and dipped
<02881> (8799)
himself seven
<07651>
times
<06471>
in Jordan
<03383>_,
according to the saying
<01697>
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_:
and his flesh
<01320>
came again
<07725> (8799)
like unto the flesh
<01320>
of a little
<06996>
child
<05288>_,
and he was clean
<02891> (8799)_.
5:15
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
he and all his company
<04264>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
him: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, now I know
<03045> (8804)
that [there is] no God
<0430>
in all the earth
<0776>_,
but in Israel
<03478>_:
now therefore, I pray thee, take
<03947> (8798)
a blessing
<01293>
of thy servant
<05650>_.
5:16
But he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
I will receive
<03947> (8799)
none. And he urged
<06484> (8799)
him to take
<03947> (8800)
[it]; but he refused
<03985> (8762)_.
5:17
And Naaman
<05283>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given
<05414> (8714)
to thy servant
<05650>
two
<06776>
mules
<06505>_'
burden
<04853>
of earth
<0127>_?
for thy servant
<05650>
will henceforth offer
<06213> (8799)
neither burnt offering
<05930>
nor sacrifice
<02077>
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
but unto the LORD
<03068>_.
5:18
In this thing
<01697>
the LORD
<03068>
pardon
<05545> (8799)
thy servant
<05650>_,
[that] when my master
<0113>
goeth
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of Rimmon
<07417>
to worship
<07812> (8692)
there, and he leaneth
<08172> (8737)
on my hand
<03027>_,
and I bow
<07812> (8694)
myself in the house
<01004>
of Rimmon
<07417>_:
when I bow down
<07812> (8692)
myself in the house
<01004>
of Rimmon
<07417>_,
the LORD
<03068>
pardon
<05545> (8799)
thy servant
<05650>
in this thing
<01697>_.
5:19
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)
in peace
<07965>_.
So he departed
<03212> (8799)
from him a little
<03530>
way
<0776>_.
{a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground}
5:20
But Gehazi
<01522>_,
the servant
<05288>
of Elisha
<0477>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, my master
<0113>
hath spared
<02820> (8804)
Naaman
<05283>
this Syrian
<0761>_,
in not receiving
<03947> (8800)
at his hands
<03027>
that which he brought
<0935> (8689)_:
but, [as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will run
<07323> (8804)
after
<0310>
him, and take
<03947> (8804)
somewhat
<03972>
of him.
5:21
So Gehazi
<01522>
followed
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Naaman
<05283>_.
And when Naaman
<05283>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[him] running
<07323> (8801)
after
<0310>
him, he lighted down
<05307> (8799)
from the chariot
<04818>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] all well
<07965>_?
{Is...: Heb. Is there peace?}
5:22
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
All [is] well
<07965>_.
My master
<0113>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, even now there be come
<0935> (8804)
to me from mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
two
<08147>
young men
<05288>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>_:
give
<05414> (8798)
them, I pray thee, a talent
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_,
and two
<08147>
changes
<02487>
of garments
<0899>_.
5:23
And Naaman
<05283>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Be content
<02974> (8685)_,
take
<03947> (8798)
two talents
<03603>_.
And he urged
<06555> (8799)
him, and bound
<06696> (8799)
two
<08147>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>
in two
<08147>
bags
<02754>_,
with two
<08147>
changes
<02487>
of garments
<0899>_,
and laid
<05414> (8799)
[them] upon two
<08147>
of his servants
<05288>_;
and they bare
<05375> (8799)
[them] before
<06440>
him.
5:24
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
to the tower
<06076>_,
he took
<03947> (8799)
[them] from their hand
<03027>_,
and bestowed
<06485> (8799)
[them] in the house
<01004>_:
and he let the men
<0582>
go
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)_.
{tower: or, secret place}
5:25
But he went in
<0935> (8802)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before his master
<0113>_.
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Whence
<0370>
[comest thou], Gehazi
<01522>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
went
<01980> (8804)
no whither
<0575>_.
{no whither: Heb. not hither or thither}
5:26
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Went
<01980> (8804)
not mine heart
<03820>
[with thee], when the man
<0376>
turned
<02015> (8804)
again from his chariot
<04818>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
thee? [Is it] a time
<06256>
to receive
<03947> (8800)
money
<03701>_,
and to receive
<03947> (8800)
garments
<0899>_,
and oliveyards
<02132>_,
and vineyards
<03754>_,
and sheep
<06629>_,
and oxen
<01241>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_?
5:27
The leprosy
<06883>
therefore of Naaman
<05283>
shall cleave
<01692> (8799)
unto thee, and unto thy seed
<02233>
for ever
<05769>_.
And he went out
<03318> (8799)
from his presence
<06440>
a leper
<06879> (8794)
[as white] as snow
<07950>_.
6:1
And the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto
<06440>
Elisha
<0477>_,
Behold now, the place
<04725>
where we dwell
<03427> (8802)
with thee is too strait
<06862>
for us.
6:2
Let us go
<03212> (8799)_,
we pray thee, unto Jordan
<03383>_,
and take
<03947> (8799)
thence every man
<0376>
a
<0259>
beam
<06982>_,
and let us make
<06213> (8799)
us a place
<04725>
there, where we may dwell
<03427> (8800)_.
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
ye.
6:3
And one
<0259>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Be content
<02974> (8685)_,
I pray thee, and go
<03212> (8798)
with thy servants
<05650>_.
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)_.
6:4
So he went
<03212> (8799)
with them. And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jordan
<03383>_,
they cut down
<01504> (8799)
wood
<06086>_.
6:5
But as one
<0259>
was felling
<05307> (8688)
a beam
<06982>_,
the axe head
<01270>
fell
<05307> (8804)
into the water
<04325>_:
and he cried
<06817> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas
<0162>_,
master
<0113>_!
for it was borrowed
<07592> (8803)_.
{axe head: Heb. iron}
6:6
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Where
<0575>
fell
<05307> (8804)
it? And he shewed
<07200> (8686)
him the place
<04725>_.
And he cut down
<07094> (8799)
a stick
<06086>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
[it] in thither; and the iron
<01270>
did swim
<06687> (8686)_.
6:7
Therefore said
<0559> (8799)
he, Take [it] up
<07311> (8685)
to thee. And he put out
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
it.
6:8
Then the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
warred
<03898> (8737)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and took counsel
<03289> (8735)
with his servants
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In such
<06423>
and such
<0492>
a place
<04725>
[shall be] my camp
<08466>_.
{camp: or, encamping}
6:9
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Beware
<08104> (8734)
that thou pass
<05674> (8800)
not such
<02088>
a place
<04725>_;
for thither the Syrians
<0758>
are come down
<05185>_.
6:10
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to the place
<04725>
which the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
told
<0559> (8804)
him and warned
<02094> (8689)
him of, and saved
<08104> (8738)
himself there, not once
<0259>
nor twice
<08147>_.
6:11
Therefore the heart
<03820>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
was sore troubled
<05590> (8735)
for this thing
<01697>_;
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his servants
<05650>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Will ye not shew
<05046> (8686)
me which of us [is] for the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
6:12
And one
<0259>
of his servants
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
None, my lord
<0113>_,
O king
<04428>_:
but Elisha
<0477>_,
the prophet
<05030>
that [is] in Israel
<03478>_,
telleth
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
the words
<01697>
that thou speakest
<01696> (8762)
in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_.
{None: Heb. No}
6:13
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and spy
<07200> (8798)
where
<0351>
he [is], that I may send
<07971> (8799)
and fetch
<03947> (8799)
him. And it was told
<05046> (8714)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, [he is] in Dothan
<01886>_.
6:14
Therefore sent
<07971> (8799)
he thither horses
<05483>_,
and chariots
<07393>_,
and a great
<03515>
host
<02428>_:
and they came
<0935> (8799)
by night
<03915>_,
and compassed
<05362> (0)
the city
<05892>
about
<05362> (8686)_.
{great: Heb. heavy}
6:15
And when the servant
<08334> (8764)
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
was risen
<06965> (8800)
early
<07925> (8686)_,
and gone forth
<03318> (8799)_,
behold, an host
<02428>
compassed
<05437> (8802)
the city
<05892>
both with horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>_.
And his servant
<05288>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Alas
<0162>_,
my master
<0113>_!
how shall we do
<06213> (8799)_?
{the servant: or, the minister}
6:16
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for they that [be] with us [are] more
<07227>
than they that [be] with them.
6:17
And Elisha
<0477>
prayed
<06419> (8691)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
I pray thee, open
<06491> (8798)
his eyes
<05869>_,
that he may see
<07200> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06491> (8799)
the eyes
<05869>
of the young man
<05288>_;
and he saw
<07200> (8799)_:
and, behold, the mountain
<02022>
[was] full
<04390> (8804)
of horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>
of fire
<0784>
round about
<05439>
Elisha
<0477>_.
6:18
And when they came down
<03381> (8799)
to him, Elisha
<0477>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
this people
<01471>_,
I pray thee, with blindness
<05575>_.
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
them with blindness
<05575>
according to the word
<01697>
of Elisha
<0477>_.
6:19
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, This [is] not the way
<01870>_,
neither [is] this
<02090>
the city
<05892>_:
follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>
me, and I will bring
<03212> (8686)
you to the man
<0376>
whom ye seek
<01245> (8762)_.
But he led
<03212> (8686)
them to Samaria
<08111>_.
{follow...: Heb. come ye after me}
6:20
And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)
into Samaria
<08111>_,
that Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
open
<06491> (8798)
the eyes
<05869>
of these [men], that they may see
<07200> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06491> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>_,
and they saw
<07200> (8799)_;
and, behold, [they were] in the midst
<08432>
of Samaria
<08111>_.
6:21
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
when he saw
<07200> (8800)
them, My father
<01>_,
shall I smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]? shall I smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]?
6:22
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]: wouldest thou smite
<05221> (8688)
those whom thou hast taken captive
<07617> (8804)
with thy sword
<02719>
and with thy bow
<07198>_?
set
<07760> (8798)
bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>
before
<06440>
them, that they may eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and go
<03212> (8799)
to their master
<0113>_.
6:23
And he prepared
<03739> (8799)
great
<01419>
provision
<03740>
for them: and when they had eaten
<0398> (8799)
and drunk
<08354> (8799)_,
he sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,
and they went
<03212> (8799)
to their master
<0113>_.
So the bands
<01416>
of Syria
<0758>
came
<0935> (8800)
no more
<03254> (8804)
into the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_.
6:24
And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,
that Benhadad
<01130>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
gathered
<06908> (8799)
all his host
<04264>_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and besieged
<06696> (8799)
Samaria
<08111>_.
6:25
And there was a great
<01419>
famine
<07458>
in Samaria
<08111>_:
and, behold, they besieged
<06696> (8802)
it, until an ass's
<02543>
head
<07218>
was [sold] for fourscore
<08084>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,
and the fourth part
<07255>
of a cab
<06894>
of dove's dung
<01686> (8675) <03123> <02755>
for five
<02568>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.
6:26
And as the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
was passing by
<05674> (8802)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
there cried
<06817> (8804)
a woman
<0802>
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Help
<03467> (8685)_,
my lord
<0113>_,
O king
<04428>_.
6:27
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
If the LORD
<03068>
do not help
<03467> (8686)
thee, whence
<0370>
shall I help
<03467> (8686)
thee? out of the barnfloor
<01637>_,
or out of the winepress
<03342>_?
{If...: or, Let not the LORD save thee}
6:28
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
This woman
<0802>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Give
<05414> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8799)
him to day
<03117>_,
and we will eat
<0398> (8799)
my son
<01121>
to morrow
<04279>_.
6:29
So we boiled
<01310> (8762)
my son
<01121>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
him: and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her on the next
<0312>
day
<03117>_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8799)
him: and she hath hid
<02244> (8686)
her son
<01121>_.
{next: Heb. other}
6:30
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the woman
<0802>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_;
and he passed by
<05674> (8802)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
and the people
<05971>
looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, [he had] sackcloth
<08242>
within
<01004>
upon his flesh
<01320>_.
6:31
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
do
<06213> (8799)
so and more
<03254> (8686)
also to me, if the head
<07218>
of Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>
shall stand
<05975> (8799)
on him this day
<03117>_.
6:32
But Elisha
<0477>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in his house
<01004>_,
and the elders
<02205>
sat
<03427> (8802)
with him; and [the king] sent
<07971> (8799)
a man
<0376>
from before
<06440>
him: but ere the messenger
<04397>
came
<0935> (8799)
to him, he said
<0559> (8804)
to the elders
<02205>_,
See
<07200> (8804)
ye how this son
<01121>
of a murderer
<07523> (8764)
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
to take away
<05493> (8687)
mine head
<07218>_?
look
<07200> (8798)_,
when the messenger
<04397>
cometh
<0935> (8800)_,
shut
<05462> (8798)
the door
<01817>_,
and hold him fast
<03905> (8804)
at the door
<01817>_:
[is] not the sound
<06963>
of his master's
<0113>
feet
<07272>
behind
<0310>
him?
6:33
And while he yet talked
<01696> (8764)
with them, behold, the messenger
<04397>
came down
<03381> (8802)
unto him: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, this evil
<07451>
[is] of the LORD
<03068>_;
what should I wait
<03176> (8686)
for the LORD
<03068>
any longer?
7:1
Then Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
To morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>
[shall] a measure
<05429>
of fine flour
<05560>
[be sold] for a shekel
<08255>_,
and two measures
<05429>
of barley
<08184>
for a shekel
<08255>_,
in the gate
<08179>
of Samaria
<08111>_.
7:2
Then a lord
<07991>
on whose hand
<03027>
the king
<04428>
leaned
<08172> (8737)
answered
<06030> (8799)
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [if] the LORD
<03068>
would make
<06213> (8802)
windows
<0699>
in heaven
<08064>_,
might this thing
<01697>
be? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)
[it] with thine eyes
<05869>_,
but shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)
thereof. {a lord...: Heb. a lord which belonged to the king leaning upon his hand}
7:3
And there were four
<0702>
leprous
<06879> (8794)
men
<0582>
at the entering in
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
Why sit
<03427> (8802)
we here until we die
<04191> (8804)_?
7:4
If we say
<0559> (8804)_,
We will enter
<0935> (8799)
into the city
<05892>_,
then the famine
<07458>
[is] in the city
<05892>_,
and we shall die
<04191> (8804)
there: and if we sit still
<03427> (8804)
here, we die
<04191> (8804)
also. Now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us fall
<05307> (8799)
unto the host
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>_:
if they save us alive
<02421> (8762)_,
we shall live
<02421> (8799)_;
and if they kill
<04191> (8686)
us, we shall but die
<04191> (8804)_.
7:5
And they rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the twilight
<05399>_,
to go
<0935> (8800)
unto the camp
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>_:
and when they were come
<0935> (8799)
to the uttermost part
<07097>
of the camp
<04264>
of Syria
<0758>_,
behold, [there was] no man
<0376>
there.
7:6
For the Lord
<0136>
had made the host
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>
to hear
<08085> (8689)
a noise
<06963>
of chariots
<07393>_,
and a noise
<06963>
of horses
<05483>_,
[even] the noise
<06963>
of a great
<01419>
host
<02428>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
Lo, the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
hath hired
<07936> (8804)
against us the kings
<04428>
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the kings
<04428>
of the Egyptians
<04714>_,
to come
<0935> (8800)
upon us.
7:7
Wherefore they arose
<06965> (8799)
and fled
<05127> (8799)
in the twilight
<05399>_,
and left
<05800> (8799)
their tents
<0168>_,
and their horses
<05483>_,
and their asses
<02543>_,
even the camp
<04264>
as it [was], and fled
<05127> (8799)
for their life
<05315>_.
7:8
And when these lepers
<06879> (8794)
came
<0935> (8799)
to the uttermost part
<07097>
of the camp
<04264>_,
they went
<0935> (8799)
into one
<0259>
tent
<0168>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and carried
<05375> (8799)
thence silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and raiment
<0899>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
and hid
<02934> (8686)
[it]; and came again
<07725> (8799)_,
and entered
<0935> (8799)
into another
<0312>
tent
<0168>_,
and carried
<05375> (8799)
thence [also], and went
<03212> (8799)
and hid
<02934> (8686)
[it].
7:9
Then they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
We do
<06213> (8802)
not well: this day
<03117>
[is] a day
<03117>
of good tidings
<01309>_,
and we hold our peace
<02814> (8688)_:
if we tarry
<02442> (8765)
till the morning
<01242>
light
<0216>_,
some mischief
<05771>
will come
<04672> (8804)
upon us: now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,
that we may go
<0935> (8799)
and tell
<05046> (8686)
the king's
<04428>
household
<01004>_.
{some...: Heb. we shall find punishment}
7:10
So they came
<0935> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
unto the porter
<07778>
of the city
<05892>_:
and they told
<05046> (8686)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We came
<0935> (8804)
to the camp
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>_,
and, behold, [there was] no man
<0376>
there, neither voice
<06963>
of man
<0120>_,
but horses
<05483>
tied
<0631> (8803)_,
and asses
<02543>
tied
<0631> (8803)_,
and the tents
<0168>
as they [were].
7:11
And he called
<07121> (8799)
the porters
<07778>_;
and they told
<05046> (8686)
[it] to the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>
within
<06441>_.
7:12
And the king
<04428>
arose
<06965> (8799)
in the night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
I will now shew
<05046> (8686)
you what the Syrians
<0758>
have done
<06213> (8804)
to us. They know
<03045> (8804)
that we [be] hungry
<07457>_;
therefore are they gone out
<03318> (8799)
of the camp
<04264>
to hide
<02247> (8736)
themselves in the field
<07704>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When they come out
<03318> (8799)
of the city
<05892>_,
we shall catch
<08610> (8799)
them alive
<02416>_,
and get
<0935> (8799)
into the city
<05892>_.
7:13
And one
<0259>
of his servants
<05650>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let [some] take
<03947> (8799)_,
I pray thee, five
<02568>
of the horses
<05483>
that remain
<07604> (8737)_,
which are left
<07604> (8738)
in the city, (behold, they [are] as all the multitude
<01995>
of Israel
<03478>
that are left
<07604> (8738)
in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude
<01995>
of the Israelites
<03478>
that are consumed
<08552> (8804):)
and let us send
<07971> (8799)
and see
<07200> (8799)_.
{in the city: Heb. in it}
7:14
They took
<03947> (8799)
therefore two
<08147>
chariot
<07393>
horses
<05483>_;
and the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
after
<0310>
the host
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)_.
7:15
And they went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
them unto Jordan
<03383>_:
and, lo, all the way
<01870>
[was] full
<04392>
of garments
<0899>
and vessels
<03627>_,
which the Syrians
<0758>
had cast away
<07993> (8689)
in their haste
<02648> (8800)_.
And the messengers
<04397>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>_.
7:16
And the people
<05971>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and spoiled
<0962> (8799)
the tents
<04264>
of the Syrians
<0758>_.
So a measure
<05429>
of fine flour
<05560>
was [sold] for a shekel
<08255>_,
and two measures
<05429>
of barley
<08184>
for a shekel
<08255>_,
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
7:17
And the king
<04428>
appointed
<06485> (8689)
the lord
<07991>
on whose hand
<03027>
he leaned
<08172> (8737)
to have the charge of the gate
<08179>_:
and the people
<05971>
trode
<07429> (8799)
upon him in the gate
<08179>_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_,
as the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
had said
<01696> (8765)_,
who spake
<01696> (8765)
when the king
<04428>
came down
<03381> (8800)
to him.
7:18
And it came to pass as the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
had spoken
<01696> (8763)
to the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Two measures
<05429>
of barley
<08184>
for a shekel
<08255>_,
and a measure
<05429>
of fine flour
<05560>
for a shekel
<08255>_,
shall be to morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>
in the gate
<08179>
of Samaria
<08111>_:
7:19
And that lord
<07991>
answered
<06030> (8799)
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now, behold, [if] the LORD
<03068>
should make
<06213> (8802)
windows
<0699>
in heaven
<08064>_,
might such a thing
<01697>
be? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)
it with thine eyes
<05869>_,
but shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)
thereof.
7:20
And so it fell out unto him: for the people
<05971>
trode
<07429> (8799)
upon him in the gate
<08179>_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
