2 Kings 9:1

9:1

And Elisha
<0477>

the prophet
<05030>

called
<07121> (8804)

one
<0259>

of the children
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Gird up
<02296> (8798)

thy loins
<04975>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

this box
<06378>

of oil
<08081>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_:

2 Kings 13:1--14:29

13:1

In the three
<07969> <08141>

and twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Jehoahaz
<03059>

the son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] seventeen
<07651> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

{three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year}

13:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

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. {followed: Heb. walked after}

13:3

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of Benhadad
<01130>

the son
<01121>

of Hazael
<02371>_,

all [their] days
<03117>_.

13:4

And Jehoahaz
<03059>

besought
<02470> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto
<06440>

him: for he saw
<07200> (8804)

the oppression
<03906>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

oppressed
<03905> (8804)

them.

13:5

(And the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

a saviour
<03467> (8688)_,

so that they went out
<03318> (8799)

from under the hand
<03027>

of the Syrians
<0758>_:

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in their tents
<0168>_,

as beforetime
<08032> <08543>_.

{as beforetime: Heb. as yesterday, and third day}

13:6

Nevertheless they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8689)_,

[but] walked
<01980> (8804)

therein: and there remained
<05975> (8804)

the grove
<0842>

also in Samaria
<08111>.)

{walked: Heb. he walked} {remained: Heb. stood}

13:7

Neither did he leave
<07604> (8689)

of the people
<05971>

to Jehoahaz
<03059>

but fifty
<02572>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and ten
<06235>

chariots
<07393>_,

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_;

for the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

had destroyed
<06> (8765)

them, and had made
<07760> (8799)

them like the dust
<06083>

by threshing
<01758> (8800)_.

13:8

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

13:9

And Jehoahaz
<03059>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in Samaria
<08111>_:

and Joash
<03101>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Joash: also called, Jehoash}

13:10

In the thirty
<07970> <08141>

and seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

13:11

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8689)_:

[but] he walked
<01980> (8804)

therein.

13:12

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Joash
<03101>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>

wherewith he fought
<03898> (8738)

against Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

13:13

And Joash
<03101>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and Jeroboam
<03379>

sat
<03427> (8804)

upon his throne
<03678>_:

and Joash
<03101>

was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>

with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

13:14

Now Elisha
<0477>

was fallen sick
<02470> (8804)

of his sickness
<02483>

whereof he died
<04191> (8799)_.

And Joash
<03101>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came down
<03381> (8799)

unto him, and wept
<01058> (8799)

over his face
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O my father
<01>_,

my father
<01>_,

the chariot
<07393>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the horsemen
<06571>

thereof.

13:15

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

bow
<07198>

and arrows
<02671>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

unto him bow
<07198>

and arrows
<02671>_.

13:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Put
<07392> (8685)

thine hand
<03027>

upon the bow
<07198>_.

And he put
<07392> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

[upon it]: and Elisha
<0477>

put
<07760> (8799)

his hands
<03027>

upon the king's
<04428>

hands
<03027>_.

{Put thine...: Heb. Make thine hand to ride}

13:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Open
<06605> (8798)

the window
<02474>

eastward
<06924>_.

And he opened
<06605> (8799)

[it]. Then Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Shoot
<03384> (8798)_.

And he shot
<03384> (8686)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The arrow
<02671>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

deliverance
<08668>_,

and the arrow
<02671>

of deliverance
<08668>

from Syria
<0758>_:

for thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)

the Syrians
<0758>

in Aphek
<0663>_,

till thou have consumed
<03615> (8763)

[them].

13:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

the arrows
<02671>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

[them]. And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

upon the ground
<0776>_.

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

thrice
<07969> <06471>_,

and stayed
<05975> (8799)_.

13:19

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

was wroth
<07107> (8799)

with him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shouldest have smitten
<05221> (8687)

five
<02568>

or six
<08337>

times
<06471>_;

then hadst thou smitten
<05221> (8689)

Syria
<0758>

till thou hadst consumed
<03615> (8763)

[it]: whereas now thou shalt smite
<05221> (8686)

Syria
<0758>

[but] thrice
<07969> <06471>_.

13:20

And Elisha
<0477>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him. And the bands
<01416>

of the Moabites
<04124>

invaded
<0935> (8799)

the land
<0776>

at the coming in
<0935> (8802)

of the year
<08141>_.

13:21

And it came to pass, as they were burying
<06912> (8802)

a man
<0376>_,

that, behold, they spied
<07200> (8804)

a band
<01416>

[of men]; and they cast
<07993> (8686)

the man
<0376>

into the sepulchre
<06913>

of Elisha
<0477>_:

and when the man
<0376>

was let down
<03212> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

of Elisha
<0477>_,

he revived
<02421> (8799)_,

and stood up
<06965> (8799)

on his feet
<07272>_.

{was...: Heb. went down}

13:22

But Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

oppressed
<03905> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

all the days
<03117>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_.

13:23

And the LORD
<03068>

was gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto them, and had compassion
<07355> (8762)

on them, and had respect
<06437> (8799)

unto them, because of
<04616>

his covenant
<01285>

with Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and Jacob
<03290>_,

and would
<014> (8804)

not destroy
<07843> (8687)

them, neither cast
<07993> (8689)

he them from his presence
<06440>

as yet
<05704>_.

{presence: Heb. face}

13:24

So Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and Benhadad
<01130>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

13:25

And Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

took
<03947> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

out of the hand
<03027>

of Benhadad
<01130>

the son
<01121>

of Hazael
<02371>

the cities
<05892>_,

which he had taken
<03947> (8804)

out of the hand
<03027>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

his father
<01>

by war
<04421>_.

Three
<07969>

times
<06471>

did Joash
<03101>

beat
<05221> (8689)

him, and recovered
<07725> (8686)

the cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{took...: Heb. returned and took}

14:1

In the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03099>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

14:2

He was twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

twenty
<06242>

and nine
<08672>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jehoaddan
<03086>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

14:3

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

yet
<07535>

not like David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

he did
<06213> (8804)

according to all things as Joash
<03101>

his father
<01>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

14:4

Howbeit the high places
<01116>

were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_:

as yet
<05750>

the people
<05971>

did sacrifice
<02076> (8764)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8764)

on the high places
<01116>_.

14:5

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
<04467>

was confirmed
<02388> (8804)

in his hand
<03027>_,

that he slew
<05221> (8686)

his servants
<05650>

which had slain
<05221> (8688)

the king
<04428>

his father
<01>_.

14:6

But the children
<01121>

of the murderers
<05221> (8688)

he slew
<04191> (8689)

not: according unto that which is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

wherein the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The fathers
<01>

shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the children
<01121>_,

nor the children
<01121>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the fathers
<01>_;

but every man
<0376>

shall be put to death
<04191> (8799)

for his own sin
<02399>_.

14:7

He slew
<05221> (8689)

of Edom
<0123>

in the valley
<01516>

of salt
<04417>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>_,

and took
<08610> (8804)

Selah
<05554>

by war
<04421>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of it Joktheel
<03371>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Selah: or, the rock}

14:8

Then Amaziah
<0558>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to Jehoash
<03060>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us look
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>_.

14:9

And Jehoash
<03060>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The thistle
<02336>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>

sent
<07971> (8804)

to the cedar
<0730>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

thy daughter
<01323>

to my son
<01121>

to wife
<0802>_:

and there passed
<05674> (8799)

by a wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and trode down
<07429> (8799)

the thistle
<02336>_.

14:10

Thou hast indeed
<05221> (8687)

smitten
<05221> (8689)

Edom
<0123>_,

and thine heart
<03820>

hath lifted thee up
<05375> (8804)_:

glory
<03513> (8734)

[of this], and tarry
<03427> (8798)

at home
<01004>_:

for why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)

to [thy] hurt
<07451>_,

that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804)_,

[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>

with thee? {at home: Heb. at thy house}

14:11

But Amaziah
<0558>

would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

Therefore Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and he and Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

looked
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.

14:12

And Judah
<03063>

was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

every man
<0376>

to their tents
<0168>_.

{put...: Heb. smitten}

14:13

And Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

took
<08610> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_,

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and brake down
<06555> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

from the gate
<08179>

of Ephraim
<0669>

unto the corner
<06438>

gate
<08179>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_.

14:14

And he took
<03947> (8804)

all the gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

that were found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and hostages
<01121> <08594>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.

14:15

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoash
<03060>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

and how he fought
<03898> (8738)

with Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

14:16

And Jehoash
<03060>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>

with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Jeroboam
<03379>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

14:17

And Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

lived
<02421> (8799)

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Jehoash
<03060>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

14:18

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Amaziah
<0558>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

14:19

Now they made
<07194> (8799)

a conspiracy
<07195>

against him in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and he fled
<05127> (8799)

to Lachish
<03923>_;

but they sent
<07971> (8799)

after
<0310>

him to Lachish
<03923>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him there.

14:20

And they brought
<05375> (8799)

him on horses
<05483>_:

and he was buried
<06912> (8735)

at Jerusalem
<03389>

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

14:21

And all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

Azariah
<05838>_,

which [was] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

instead of his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>_.

{Azariah: also called, Uzziah}

14:22

He built
<01129> (8804)

Elath
<0359>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

it to Judah
<03063>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

slept
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_.

14:23

In the fifteenth
<02568> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] forty
<0705>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>_.

14:24

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

14:25

He restored
<07725> (8689)

the coast
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>

from the entering
<0935> (8800)

of Hamath
<02574>

unto the sea
<03220>

of the plain
<06160>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of his servant
<05650>

Jonah
<03124>_,

the son
<01121>

of Amittai
<0573>_,

the prophet
<05030>_,

which [was] of Gathhepher
<01662>_.

14:26

For the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8804)

the affliction
<06040>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[that it was] very
<03966>

bitter
<04784> (8802)_:

for [there was] not
<0657>

any shut up
<06113> (8803)_,

nor any left
<05800> (8803)_,

nor any helper
<05826> (8802)

for Israel
<03478>_.

14:27

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8765)

not that he would blot out
<04229> (8800)

the name
<08034>

of Israel
<03478>

from under heaven
<08064>_:

but he saved
<03467> (8686)

them by the hand
<03027>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>_.

14:28

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

how he warred
<03898> (8738)_,

and how he recovered
<07725> (8689)

Damascus
<01834>_,

and Hamath
<02574>_,

[which belonged] to Judah
<03063>_,

for Israel
<03478>_,

are they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

14:29

And Jeroboam
<03379>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

[even] with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Zachariah
<02148>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
