He did what the <sc>Lordsc> approved<n id="1" /> and followed in his ancestor David&#8217;s footsteps;<n id="2" /> he did not deviate to the right or the left.p>

He sent<n id="1" /> this message to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: &#8220;The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you fight with me against Moab?&#8221; Jehoshaphat<n id="2" /> replied, &#8220;I will join you in the campaign; my army and horses are at your disposal.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Elisha<n id="1" /> went back and walked around in the house.<n id="2" /> Then he got up on the bed again<n id="3" /> and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

The king of Syria said, &#8220;Go! I will send a letter to the king of Israel.&#8221; So Naaman<n id="1" /> went, taking with him ten talents<n id="2" /> of silver, six thousand shekels of gold,<n id="3" /> and ten suits of clothes.

Naaman went away angry. He said, &#8220;Look, I thought for sure he would come out, stand there, invoke the name of the <sc>Lordsc> his God, wave his hand over the area, and cure the skin disease.

Then Elisha said to them, &#8220;This is not the right road or city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you&#8217;re looking for.&#8221; He led them to Samaria.<n id="1" />p>

So Hazael went to visit Elisha.<n id="1" /> He took along a gift,<n id="2" /> as well as<n id="3" /> forty camel loads of all the fine things of Damascus. When he arrived, he stood before him and said, &#8220;Your son,<n id="4" /> King Ben Hadad of Syria, has sent me to you with this question,<n id="5" /> &#8216;Will I recover from this sickness?&#8217;&#8221;

So the horseman<n id="1" /> went to meet him and said, &#8220;This is what the king says, &#8216;Is everything all right?&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" /> Jehu replied, &#8220;None of your business!<n id="3" /> Follow me.&#8221; The watchman reported, &#8220;The messenger reached them, but hasn&#8217;t started back.&#8221;

One day some men<n id="1" /> were burying a man when they spotted<n id="2" /> a raiding party. So they threw the dead man<n id="3" /> into Elisha&#8217;s tomb. When the body<n id="4" /> touched Elisha&#8217;s bones, the dead man<n id="5" /> came to life and stood on his feet.p>

<p class="bodytext">When King Ahaz went to meet with King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria in Damascus, he saw the altar there.<n id="1" /> King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a drawing of the altar and a blueprint for its design.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shullam son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the supervisor of the wardrobe.<n id="1" /> (She lived in Jerusalem in the Mishneh<n id="2" /> district.) They stated their business,<n id="3" />

During Josiah&#8217;s reign Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt marched toward<n id="1" /> the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to fight him, but Necho<n id="2" /> killed him at Megiddo<n id="3" /> when he saw him.

The enemy broke through the city walls,<n id="1" /> and all the soldiers tried to escape. They left the city during the night.<n id="2" /> They went through the gate between the two walls that is near the king&#8217;s garden.<n id="3" /> (The Babylonians were all around the city.) Then they headed for the Jordan Valley.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">When he left there, he met<n id="1" /> Jehonadab, son of Rekab, who had been looking for him.<n id="2" /> Jehu greeted him and asked,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Are you as committed to me as I am to you?&#8221;<n id="4" /> Jehonadab answered, &#8220;I am!&#8221; Jehu replied, &#8220;If so, give me your hand.&#8221;<n id="5" /> So he offered his hand and Jehu<n id="6" /> pulled him up into the chariot.
