2 Kings 3:1--7:20

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)_.
