 : 1 .  Now king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > was old <2204 
zaqen >  [ and ]  stricken <0935 bow> > in years <3117 yowm > ;  
and they covered <3680 kacah > him with clothes <0899 beged > ,  
but he gat no <3808 lo> > heat <3179 yacham > . 

 : 2 Wherefore his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > 
unto him ,  Let there be sought <1245 baqash > for my lord <0113 
>adown > the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin 
<1330 b@thuwlah > : and let her stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 
paniym > the king <4428 melek > ,  and let her cherish <5532 
cakan > him ,  and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436 
cheyq > ,  that my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > 
may get heat <2552 chamam > . 

 : 3 So they sought <1245 baqash > for a fair <3303 yapheh > 
damsel <5291 na<arah > throughout all <3605 kol > the coasts 
<1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and found <4672 
matsa> > Abishag <49> a Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > ,  and 
brought <0935 bow> > her to the king <4428 melek > .

fair <3303 yapheh > ,  and cherished <5532 cakan > the king 
<4428 melek > ,  and ministered <8334 sharath > to him : but the 
king <4428 melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not . 

 : 5 .  Then Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > exalted <5375 nasa> > himself ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will be king <4427 malak > : and he 
prepared <6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen 
<6571 parash > ,  and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh

 : 6 And his father <1> had not displeased <6087 <atsab > him at 
any time <3117 yowm > in saying <0559 >amar > ,  Why <4069 
madduwa< > hast thou done <6213 <asah > so <3602 kakah > ?  and 
he also <1571 gam >  [ was a ]  very <3966 m@<od > goodly <2896 
towb >  [ man ]  ;  and  [ his mother ]  bare him after <0310

priest <3548 kohen > : and they following <0310 >achar > 
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > helped <5826 <azar >  [ him ]  . 

 : 8 But Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and 
Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 
Yowyada< > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> 
> ,  and Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and Rei <7472 Re<iy > ,  and 
the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men which <0834 >aher >  [ belonged ] 
 to David <1732 David > ,  were not with Adonijah <0138 
>Adoniyah > . 

 : 9 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > slew <2076 zabach > sheep 
<6629 tso>n > andoxen <1241 baqar > and fat <4806 m@riy> > 
cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth ,  which 
<0834 >aher >  [ is ]  by Enrogel <5883 <Eyn Rogel > ,  and 
called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach > 
the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,  and all <3605 kol > 
the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king s 
<4428 melek > servants <5650 <ebed > : 

 : 10 But Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  
and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > ,  and the mighty <1368 gibbowr > 
men ,  and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach > ,  
he called <7121 qara> > not . 

 : 11 .  Wherefore Nathan <5416 Nathan > spake <0559 >amar > 
unto Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Hast thou 
not heard <8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > doth reign <4427 malak 
> ,  and David <1732 David > our lord <0113 >adown > knoweth 
<3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not ? 

 : 12 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > ,  let me ,
  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  give thee counsel <6098 <etsah > ,  
that thou mayest save <4422 malat > thine own life <5315 nephesh

<8010 Sh@lomoh > . 

 : 13 Go <3212 yalak > and get <0935 bow> > thee in unto king 
<4428 melek > David <1732 David > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto 
him ,  Didst not thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 
melek > ,  swear <7650 shaba< > unto thine handmaid <0519 >amah

Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after 
<0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my 
throne <3678 kicce> > ?  why <4069 madduwa< > then doth Adonijah 
<0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak > ? 

 : 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  while thou yet <5750 <owd > 
talkest <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428 
melek > ,  I also will come <0935 bow> > in after <0310 >achar > 
thee ,  and confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar > . 

 : 15 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > went <0935 bow> > in 
unto the king <4428 melek > into the chamber <2315 cheder > : 
and the king <4428 melek > was very <3966 m@<od > old <2204 
zaqen > ;  and Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > 
ministered <8334 sharath > unto the king <4428 melek > . 

 : 16 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > ,  
and did obeisance <7812 shachah > unto the king <4428 melek > .  
And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah 
> wouldest thou ? 

 : 17 And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  My lord <0113 
>adown > ,  thou swarest <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519 
>amah > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Assuredly <3588 kiy > Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after 
<0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my 
throne <3678 kicce> > . 

 : 18 And now <6258 <attah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak > ;  and now ,  
my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  thou knowest 
<3045 yada< >  [ it ]  not : 

 : 19 And he hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > and 
fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n > 
in abundance <7230 rob > ,  and hath called <7121 qara> > all 
<3605 kol > the sons <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > ,  
and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Joab <3097 
Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > : 
but Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he 
not called <7121 qara> > . 

 : 20 And thou ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > 
,  the eyes <5869<ayin > of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >  [ are ]  upon thee ,  that thou shouldest tell <5046 
nagad > them who <4310 miy > shall sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 
<al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the 
king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him . 

 : 21 Otherwise it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when my 
lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > shall sleep <7901 
shakab > with his fathers <1> ,  that I and my son <1121 ben > 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders <2400 
chatta> > . 

 : 22 And ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  while she yet <5750 <owd > 
talked <1696 dabar > with the king <4428 melek > ,  Nathan <5416 
Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also came <0935 bow> > in . 

 : 23 And they told <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > Nathan <5416 
Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > .  And when he was come 
<0935 bow> > in before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > ,  
he bowed <7812 shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king 
<4428 melek > with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776 
>erets > . 

 : 24 And Nathan <5416 Nathan > said <0559 >amar > ,  My lord 
<0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > ,  hast thou said <0559 
>amar > ,  Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall reign <4427 malak > 
after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon 
my throne <3678 kicce> > ? 

 : 25 For he is gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > this day 
<3117 yowm > ,  and hath slain <2076 zabach > oxen <7794 showr > 
and fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 
tso>n > in abundance <7230 rob > ,  and hath called <7121 qara>

and the captains <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > ,  and 
Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > ;  and ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  they eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > 
before <6440 paniym > him ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  God save 
<2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Adonijah . 

 : 26 But me ,   [ even ]  me thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and 
Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Benaiah 
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > 
,  and thy servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  
hath he not called <7121 qara> > . 

 : 27 Is this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > done by my lord 
<0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  and thou hast not 
shewed <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  
who <4310 miy > should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678 
kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after 
<0310 >achar > him ? 

 : 28 Then king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > answered <6030 
<anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  Call <7121 qara> > me 
Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > .  And she came <0935 bow> > 
into the king s <4428 melek > presence <6440 paniym > ,  and 
stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > 
. 

 : 29 And the king <4428 melek > sware <7650 shaba< > ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth 
<2416 chay > ,  that hath redeemed <6299 padah > my soul <5315 
nephesh > out of all <3605 kol > distress <6869 tsarah > , 

 : 30 Even <3588 kiy > as I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee by 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Assuredly <3588 kiy > 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 
malak > after <0310 >achar > me ,  and he shall sit <3427 yashab

even <3588 kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 <asah

 : 31 Then Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > 
with  [ her ]  face <0639 >aph > to the earth <0776 >erets > ,  
and did reverence <7812 shachah > to the king <4428 melek > ,  
and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let my lord <0113 >adown > king <4428 
melek > David <1732 David > live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 
<owlam > . 

 : 32 .  And king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > said <0559

priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > ,  and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben

before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > . 

 : 33 The king <4428 melek > also said <0559 >amar > unto them , 
 Take <3947 laqach > with you the servants <5650 <ebed > of your 
lord <0113 >adown > ,  and cause Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > my son

pirdah > ,  and bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > to 
Gihon <1521 Giychown > :

mashach > him there <8033 sham > king <4428 melek > over <5921

the trumpet <7782 showphar > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  God 
save <2421 chayah > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > .
 

 : 35 Then ye shall come <5927 <alah > up after <0310 >achar > 
him ,  that he may come <0935 bow> > and sit <3427 yashab > upon 
my throne <3678 kicce> > ;  for he shall be king <4427 malak > 
in my stead <8478 tachath > : and I have appointed <6680 tsavah

Yisra>el > and over <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > . 

 : 36 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > answered <6030 <anah > the king <4428 
melek > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Amen <0543 >amen > : the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of my lord <0113 
>adown > the king <4428 melek > say <0559 >amar > so <3651 ken > 
 [ too ]  . 

 : 37 As the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been <1961 hayah > with 
my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  even so <3651 
ken > be he with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and make his throne 
<3678 kicce> > greater than the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord 
<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David > . 

 : 38 So Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and 
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and Benaiah 
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< >

P@lethiy > ,  went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,  and 
caused Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > to ride <7392 rakab > upon king 
<4428 melek > David s <1732 David > mule <6506 pirdah > ,  and 
brought <3212 yalak > him to Gihon <1521 Giychown > .

<3947 laqach > an horn <7161 qeren > of oil <8081 shemen > out 
of the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > ,  and anointed <4886 mashach >

simchah > ,  so that the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< > 
with the sound <6963 qowl > of them .

<0559 >amar > ,  Wherefore <4069 madduwa< >  [ is this ]  noise 
<6963 qowl > of the city <7151 qiryah > being in an uproar <1993

<2428 chayil > man <0376 >iysh > ,  and bringest <1319 basar > 
good <2896 towb > tidings <1319 basar > .

said <0559 >amar > to Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > ,  Verily <61> 
our lord <0113 >adown > king <4427 malak > David <1732 David >

kicce> > this day <3117 yowm > ,  mine eyes <5869 <ayin > even 
seeing <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  . 

 : 49 And all <3605 kol > the guests <7121 qara> > that  [ were 
]  with Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > were afraid <2729 charad > ,  
and rose <6965 quwm > up ,  and went <3212 yalak > every man 
<0376 >iysh > his way <1870 derek > . 

 : 50 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > feared <3372 yare> > 
because <6440 paniym > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and arose 
<6965 quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > ,  and caught <2388 
chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the 
altar <4196 mizbeach > . 

 : 51 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Adonijah <0138 
>Adoniyah > feareth <3372 yare> > king <4428 melek > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > : for ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  he hath caught 
<0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on the horns <7161 qeren > of 
the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Let king 
<4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > swear <7650 shaba< > unto 
me to day that he will not slay <4191 muwth > his servant <5650 
<ebed > with the sword <2719 chereb > . 

 : 52 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > ,  If 
<0518 >im > he will shew himself a worthy <2428 chayil > man 
<1121 ben > ,  there shall not an hair <8185 sa<arah > of him

him ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > . 

 : 53 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 
shalach > ,  and they brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad

and bowed <7812 shachah > himself to king <4428 melek > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > : and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar

 : 1Kings 2

 : 1 .  Now the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > drew 
nigh <7126 qarab >that he should die <4191 muwth > ;  and he 
charged <6680 tsavah > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his son <1121 
ben > ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 2 I go <1980 halak > the way <1870 derek > of all <3605 kol > 
the earth <0776 >erets > : be thou strong <2388 chazaq > 
therefore ,  and shew thyself a man <0376 >iysh > ; 

 : 3 And keep <8104 shamar > the charge <4931 mishmereth > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  to walk 
<3212 yalak > in his ways <1870 derek > ,  to keep <8104 shamar

mitsvah > ,  and his judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  and his 
testimonies <5715> ,  as it is written <3789 kathab > in the law 
<8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,  that thou mayest 
prosper <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > that thou doest <6213 
<asah > ,  and whithersoever thou turnest <6437 panah > thyself :
 

 : 4 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > may continue <6965 quwm > his 
word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > 
concerning <5921 <al > me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 
>im > thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their 
way <1870 derek > ,  to walk <3212 yalak > before <6440 paniym > 
me in truth <0571 >emeth > with all <3605 kol > their heart 
<3824 lebab > and with all <3605 kol > their soul <5315 nephesh

man <0376 >iysh > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 5 Moreover <1571 gam > thou knowest <3045 yada< > also <1571 
gam > what Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Zeruiah 
<6870 Ts@ruwyah > did <6213 <asah > to me ,   [ and ]  what 
<0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > to the two <8147 sh@nayim > 
captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  unto Abner <74> the son <1121 ben > of Ner <5369 
Ner > ,  and unto Amasa <6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of 
Jether <3500 Yether > ,  whom he slew <2026 harag > ,  and shed 
<7760 suwm > the blood <1818 dam > of war <4421 milchamah > in 
peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and put <5414 nathan > the blood <1818 
dam > of war <4421 milchamah > upon his girdle <2290 chagowr > 
that  [ was ]  about his loins <4975 mothen > ,  and in his 
shoes <5275 na<al > that  [ were ]  on his feet <7272 regel > . 

 : 6 Do <6213 <asah > therefore according to thy wisdom <2451 
chokmah > ,  and let not his hoar <7872 seybah > head go <3381 
yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > in peace 
<7965 shalowm > . 

 : 7 But shew <6213 <asah > kindness <2617 checed > unto the 
sons <1121 ben > of Barzillai <1271 Barzillay > the Gileadite 
<1569 Gil<adiy > ,  and let them be of those that eat <0398 
>akal > at thy table <7979 shulchan > : for so <3651 ken > they 
came <0935 bow> > to me when I fled <1272 barach > because <6440 
paniym > of Absalom <53> thy brother <0251 >ach > . 

 : 8 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ thou hast ]  with thee 
Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > the son <1121 ben > of Gera <1617 Gera> > 
,  a Benjamite <1145 Ben - y@miyniy > of Bahurim <0980 Bachuriym

<4834 marats > curse <7045 q@lalah > in the day <3117 yowm > 
when I went <3212 yalak > to Mahanaim <4266 Machanayim > : but 
he came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to meet <7125 qir>ah > 
me at Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  and I sware <7650 shaba< > to him 
by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I will 
not put thee to death <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb 
> . 

 : 9 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hold him not guiltless <5352 
naqah > : forthou  [ art ]  a wise <2450 chakam > man <0376 
>iysh > ,  and knowest <3045 yada< > what thou oughtest to do 
<6213 <asah > unto him ;  but his hoar <7872 seybah > head bring 
<3381 yarad > thou down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl

 : 10 So David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892 
<iyr > of David <1732 David > . 

 : 11 And the days <3117 yowm > that David <1732 David > reigned 
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ were ] 
 forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > : seven <7651 
sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Hebron 
<2275 Chebrown > ,  and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and three 
<7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he 
in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 : 12 .  Then sat <3427 yashab > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > upon 
the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > his father <1> ;
  and his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > was established <3559 kuwn > 
greatly <3966 m@<od > . 

 : 13 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > came <0935 bow> > to Bathsheba <1339 
Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

peaceably <7965 shalowm > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  
Peaceably <7965 shalowm > . 

 : 14 He said <0559 >amar > moreover ,  I have somewhat to say 
<1697 dabar > unto thee .  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Say 
<1696 dabar > on . 

 : 15 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou knowest <3045 yada< > 
that the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine ,  and  [ that ]  all 
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > set <7760 suwm > their faces 
<6440 paniym > on <5921 <al > me ,  that I should reign <4427 
malak > : howbeit the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > is turned <5437 
cabab > about <5437 cabab > ,  and is become <1961 hayah > my 
brother s <0251 >ach > : for it was his from the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > . 

 : 16 And now <6258 <attah > I ask <7592 sha>al > one <0259 
>echad > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of thee ,  deny <7725 shuwb > 
me not .  And she said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Say <1696 dabar 
> on . 

 : 17 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Speak <0559 >amar > ,  I pray 
<4994 na> > thee ,  unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the king <4428 
melek > ,   ( for he will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay ,  )  
that he give <5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 
Shuwnammiyth > to wife <0802 >ishshah > . 

 : 18 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > said <0559 >amar > ,  
Well <2896 towb > ;  I will speak <1696 dabar > for thee unto 
the king <4428 melek > . 

 : 19 Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > therefore went <0935 bow> 
> unto king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  to speak 
<1696 dabar > unto him for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > .  And the 
king <4428 melek > rose <6965 quwm > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > 
her ,  and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her ,  and sat 
<3427 yashab > down on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  
and caused a seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the 
king s <4428 melek > mother <0517 >em > ;  and she sat <3427 
yashab > on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand . 

 : 20 Then she said <0559 >amar > ,  I desire <7592 sha>al > one 
<0259 >echad > small <6996 qatan > petition <7596 sh@>elah > of 
thee ;   [ I pray thee ]  ,  say <0559 >amar > me not nay <6440 
paniym > .  And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto 
her ,  Ask <7592 sha>al > on ,  my mother <0517 >em > : for I 
will not say <0559 >amar > thee nay . 

 : 21 And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Let Abishag <49> the 
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > be given <5414 nathan > to 
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife 
<0802 >ishshah > . 

 : 22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered 
<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto his mother <0517 >em > 
,  And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49> 
the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah 
> ?  ask <7592 sha>al > for him the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > 
also ;  for he  [ is ]  mine elder <1419 gadowl > brother <0251 
>ach > ;  even for him ,  and for Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 
kohen > ,  and for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > of 
Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > . 

 : 23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware 
<7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar 
> ,  God <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah > so to me ,  and more 
<3254 yacaph > also <3541 koh > ,  if <3588 kiy > Adonijah <0138 
>Adoniyah > have not spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word 
<1697 dabar > against his own life <5315 nephesh > . 

 : 24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,   [ as ]  the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  which <0834 >aher > hath 
established <3559 kuwn > me ,  and set <3427 yashab > me on 
<5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > my 
father <1> ,  and who <0834 >aher > hath made <6213 <asah > me 
an house <1004 bayith > ,  as he promised <1696 dabar > ,  
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall be put to death <4191 muwth > 
this day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 25 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 
shalach > by the hand <3027 yad > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ;  and he fell 
<6293 paga< > upon him that he died <4191 muwth > . 

 : 26 .  And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said 
<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Get <3212 yalak > thee 
to Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > ,  unto thine own fields <7704 
sadeh > ;  for thou  [ art ]  worthy <0376 >iysh > of death 
<4194 maveth > : but I will not at this <2088 zeh > time <3117 
yowm > put thee to death <4191 muwth > ,  because <3588 kiy > 
thou barest <5375 nasa> > the ark <0727 >arown > of the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > before <6440 paniym > David 
<1732 David > my father <1> ,  and because <3588 kiy > thou hast 
been afflicted <6031 <anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834 
>aher > my father <1> was afflicted <6031 <anah > . 

 : 27 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thrust <1644 garash > out 
Abiathar <54> from being <1961 hayah > priest <3548 kohen > unto 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  that he might fulfil <4390 male> > 
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which 
<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the 
house <1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887 
Shiyloh > . 

 : 28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab 
<3097 Yow>ab > : for Joab <3097 Yow>ab > had turned <5186 natah 
> after <0310 >achar > Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > ,  though he 
turned <5186 natah > not after <0310 >achar > Absalom <53> .  
And Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle 
<0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and caught <2388 
chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the 
altar <4196 mizbeach > . 

 : 29 And it was told <5046 nagad > king <4428 melek > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > was fled <5127 nuwc > 
unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  
and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ he is ]  by the altar <4196 
mizbeach > .  Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > 
Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 
Yowyada< > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  fall 
<6293 paga< > upon him . 

 : 30 And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > came <0935 bow> > to the 
tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the king <4428 melek > ,  Come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

die <4191 muwth > here <6311 poh > .  And Benaiah <1141 B@nayah 
> brought <7725 shuwb > the king <4428 melek > word <1697 dabar 
> again <7725 shuwb > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh

he answered <6030 <anah > me . 

 : 31 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
Do <6213 <asah > as he hath said <1696 dabar > ,  and fall <6293 
paga< > upon him ,  and bury <6912 qabar > him ;  that thou 
mayest take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the innocent <2600 
chinnam > blood <1818 dam > ,  which <0834 >aher > Joab <3097 
Yow>ab > shed <8210 shaphak > ,  from me ,  and from the house 
<1004 bayith > of my father <1> . 

 : 32 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb > 
his blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > ,  who 
<4310 miy > fell <6293 paga< > upon two <8147 sh@nayim > men 
<0582 >enowsh > more righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and better <2896 
towb > than he ,  and slew <2026 harag > them with the sword 
<2719 chereb > ,  my father <1> David <1732 David > not knowing 
<3045 yada< >  [ thereof ,  to wit ]  ,  Abner <74> the son 
<1121 ben > of Ner <5369 Ner > ,  captain <8269 sar > of the 
host <6635 tsaba> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and Amasa 
<6021 <Amasa> > the son <1121 ben > of Jether <3500 Yether > ,  
captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > . 

 : 33 Their blood <1818 dam > shall therefore return <7725 shuwb 
> upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of Joab <3097 Yow>ab > ,  and upon 
the head <7218 ro>sh > of his seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769 
<owlam > : but upon David <1732 David > ,  and upon his seed 
<2233 zera< > ,  and upon his house <1004 bayith > ,  and upon 
his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  shall there be peace <7965 shalowm 
> for ever <5769 <owlam > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 34 So Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada 
<3111 Yowyada< > went <5927 <alah > up ,  and fell <6293 paga< > 
upon him ,  and slew <4191 muwth > him : and he was buried <6912 
qabar > in his own house <1004 bayith > in the wilderness <4057 
midbar > . 

 : 35 .  And the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > Benaiah 
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > 
in his room <8478 tachath > over <5921 <al > the host <6635 
tsaba> > : and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > 
did the king <4428 melek > put <5414 nathan > in the room <8478 
tachath > of Abiathar <54> . 

 : 36 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called 
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and said <0559 >amar

in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and dwell <3427 yashab > 
there <8033 sham > ,  and go <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 
yatsa> > thence <8033 sham > any whither <0575 >an > . 

 : 37 For it shall be ,   [ that ]  on the day <3117 yowm > thou 
goest <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and passest <5674 <abar > over <5674 
<abar > the brook <5158 nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown > ,  thou 
shalt know <3045 yada< > for certain <3045 yada< > that thou 
shalt surely die <4191 muwth > : thy blood <1818 dam > shall be 
upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > . 

 : 38 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
king <4428 melek > ,  The saying <1697 dabar >  [ is ]  good 
<2896 towb > : as my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > 
hath said <1696 dabar > ,  so <3651 ken > will thy servant <5650 
<ebed > do <6213 <asah > .  And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > dwelt 
<3427 yashab > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > many <7227 rab

 : 39 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7093 qets > 
of three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > ,  that two <8147 
sh@nayim > of the servants <5650 <ebed > of Shimei <8096 Shim<iy

servants <5650 <ebed >  [ be ]  in Gath <1661 Gath > . 

 : 40 And Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and 
saddled <2280 chabash > his ass <2543 chamowr > ,  and went 
<3212 yalak > to Gath <1661 Gath > to Achish <0397 >Akiysh > to 
seek <1245 baqash > his servants <5650 <ebed > : and Shimei 
<8096 Shim<iy > went <3212 yalak > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > 
his servants <5650 <ebed > from Gath <1661 Gath > . 

 : 41 And it was told <5046 nagad > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
that Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > had gone <1980 halak > from 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Gath <1661 Gath > ,  and was 
come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > . 

 : 42 And the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > and called 
<7121 qara> > for Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  and said <0559 >amar

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and protested <5749 <uwd > unto thee ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Know <3045 yada< > for a certain <3045 
yada< > ,  on the day <3117 yowm > thou goest <3318 yatsa> > out 
,  and walkest <1980 halak > abroad any whither <0575 >an > ,  
that thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > ?  and thou saidst 
<0559 >amar > unto me ,  The word <1697 dabar >  [ that ]  I 
have heard <8085 shama< >  [ is ]  good <2896 towb > . 

 : 43 Why <4100 mah > then hast thou not kept <8104 shamar > the 
oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the 
commandment <4687 mitsvah > that I have charged <6680 tsavah > 
thee with ? 

 : 44 The king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > moreover to 
Shimei <8096 Shim<iy > ,  Thou knowest <3045 yada< > all <3605 
kol > the wickedness <7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > thine heart 
<3824 lebab > is privy <3045 yada< > to ,  that thou didst <6213 
<asah > to David <1732 David > my father <1> : therefore the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb > thy wickedness 
<7451 ra< > upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > ; 

 : 45 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >  [ shall 
be ]  blessed <1288 barak > ,  and the throne <3678 kicce> > of 
David <1732 David > shall be established <3559 kuwn > before 
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for ever . 

 : 46 So the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > Benaiah 
<1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > 
;  which went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and fell <6293 paga< > upon 
him ,  that he died <4191 muwth > .  And the kingdom <4467 
mamlakah > was established <3559 kuwn > in the hand <3027 yad > 
of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > . 

 : 1Kings 3

 : 1 .  And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made affinity <2859 chathan

Mitsrayim > ,  and took <3947 laqach > Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > 
daughter <1323 bath > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > her into <0413

<5704 <ad > he had made an end <3615 kalah > of building <1129

bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the wall <2346 
chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > 
about . 

 : 2 Only <7535 raq > the people <5971 <am > sacrificed <2076 
zabach > in high <1116 bamah > places ,  because <3588 kiy > 
there was no <3808 lo> > house <1004 bayith > built <1129 banah

until <5704 <ad > those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > . 

 : 3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > loved <0157 >ahab > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  walking <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 
chuqqah > of David <1732 David > his father <1> : only <7535 raq

<6999 qatar > in high <1116 bamah > places . 

 : 4 And the king <4428 melek > went <3212 yalak > to Gibeon 
<1391 Gib<own > to sacrifice <2076 zabach > there <8033 sham > ; 
 for that  [ was ]  the great <1419 gadowl > high <1116 bamah > 
place : a thousand <0505 >eleph > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings 
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer <5927 <alah > upon that altar 
<4196 mizbeach > . 

 : 5 .  In Gibeon <1391 Gib<own > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
appeared <7200 ra>ah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in a dream 
<2472 chalowm > by night <3915 layil > : and God <0430 >elohiym

shall give <5414 nathan > thee . 

 : 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou 
hast shewed <6213 <asah > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David 
<1732 David > my father <1> great <1419 gadowl > mercy <2617

paniym > thee in truth <0571 >emeth > ,  and in righteousness 
<6666 ts@daqah > ,  and in uprightness <3483 yishrah > of heart 
<3824 lebab > with thee ;  and thou hast kept <8104 shamar > for 
him this <2088 zeh > great <1419 gadowl > kindness <2617 checed

to sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > , 
 as  [ it is ]  this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 7 And now <6258 <attah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  thou hast made thy servant <5650 <ebed > 
king <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David

child <5288 na<ar > : I know <3045 yada< > not  [ how ]  to go 
<3318 yatsa> > out or come <0935 bow> > in . 

 : 8 And thy servant <5650 <ebed >  [ is ]  in the midst <8432 
tavek > of thy people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher > thou hast 
chosen <0977 bachar > ,  a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > ,
  that cannot <3808 lo> > be numbered <4487 manah > nor counted 
<5608 caphar > for multitude <7230 rob > . 

 : 9 Give <5414 nathan > therefore thy servant <5650 <ebed > an 
understanding <8085 shama< > heart <3820 leb > to judge <8199 
shaphat > thy people <5971 <am > ,  that I may discern <0995 
biyn > between <0996 beyn > good <2896 towb > and bad <7451 ra<

shaphat > this <2088 zeh > thy so great <3515 kabed > a people 
<5971 <am > ? 

 : 10 And the speech <1697 dabar > pleased the Lord <0136 
>Adonay > ,  that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had asked <7592 
sha>al > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > . 

 : 11 And God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast asked <7592 sha>al > this <2088 
zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ,  and hast not asked <7592 sha>al > 
for thyself long <7221 ri>shah > life <3117 yowm > ;  neither 
<3808 lo> > hast asked <7592 sha>al > riches <6239 <osher > for 
thyself ,  nor <3808 lo> > hast asked <7592 sha>al > the life 
<5315 nephesh > of thine enemies <0341 >oyeb > ;  but hast asked 
<7592 sha>al > for thyself understanding <0995 biyn > to discern 
<8085 shama< > judgment <4941 mishpat > ; 

 : 12 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have done <6213 <asah > 
according to thy words <1697 dabar > : lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I 
have given <5414 nathan > thee a wise <2450 chakam > and an 
understanding <0995 biyn > heart <3820 leb > ;  so that there 
was none <3808 lo> > like <3644 k@mow > thee before <6440 paniym

<6965 quwm > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee . 

 : 13 And I have also <1571 gam > given <5414 nathan > thee that 
which <0834 >aher > thou hast not asked <7592 sha>al > ,  both 
<1571 gam > riches <6239 <osher > ,  and honour <3519 kabowd > : 
so that there shall not be any <0376 >iysh > among the kings 
<4428 melek > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee all <3605 kol > thy 
days <3117 yowm > . 

 : 14 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my ways 
<1870 derek > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > 
and my commandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  as thy father <1> David 
<1732 David > did walk <1980 halak > ,  then I will lengthen 
<0748 >arak > thy days <3117 yowm > . 

 : 15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > awoke <3364 yaqats > ;  and , 
 behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ it was ]  a dream <2472 chalowm > . 
 And he came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  
and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the ark <0727 
>arown > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  and offered <5927 <alah > up burnt <5930 <olah > 
offerings ,  and offered <6213 <asah > peace <8002 shelem > 
offerings ,  and made <6213 <asah > a feast <4960 mishteh > to 
all <3605 kol > his servants <5650 <ebed > . 

 : 16 .  Then <0227 >az > came <0935 bow> > there two <8147 
sh@nayim > women <0802 >ishshah > ,   [ that were ]  harlots 
<2181 zanah > ,  unto the king <4428 melek > ,  and stood <5975 
<amad > before <6440 paniym > him . 

 : 17 And the one <0259 >echad > woman <0802 >ishshah > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  O my lord <0113 >adown > ,  I and this <2063 
zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > dwell <3427 yashab > in one <0259

 : 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the third <7992 
sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > after that I was delivered <3205 
yalad > ,  that this <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > was 
delivered <3205 yalad > also <1571 gam > : and we  [ were ]  
together <3162 yachad > ;   [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > 
stranger <2114 zuwr > with us in the house <1004 bayith > ,  
save <2108 zuwlah > we two <8147 sh@nayim > in the house <1004 
bayith > . 

 : 19 And this <2063 zo>th > woman s <0802 >ishshah > child 
<1121 ben > died <4191 muwth > in the night <3915 layil > ;  
because <0834 >aher > she overlaid <7901 shakab > it . 

 : 20 And she arose <6965 quwm > at midnight ,  and took <3947 
laqach > my son <1121 ben > from beside <0681 >etsel > me ,  
while thine handmaid <0519 >amah > slept <3463 yashen > ,  and 
laid <7901 shakab > it in her bosom <2436 cheyq > ,  and laid 
<7901 shakab > her dead <4191 muwth > child <1121 ben > in my 
bosom <2436 cheyq > . 

 : 21 And when I rose <6965 quwm > in the morning <1242 boqer > 
to give my child <1121 ben > suck <3243 yanaq > ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  it was dead <4191 muwth > : but when I had 
considered <0995 biyn > it in the morning <1242 boqer > ,  
behold <2009 hinneh > ,  it was not my son <1121 ben > ,  which 
<0834 >aher > I did bear <3205 yalad > . 

 : 22 And the other <0312 >acher > woman <0802 >ishshah > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Nay <3808 lo> > ;  but the living <2416 chay >  
[ is ]  my son <1121 ben > ,  and the dead <4191 muwth >  [ is ] 
 thy son <1121 ben > .  And this <2063 zo>th > said <0559 >amar

<2063 zo>th > saith <0559 >amar > ,  This <2063 zo>th >  [ is ]  
my son <1121 ben > that liveth <2416 chay > ,  and thy son <1121

<1121 ben >  [ is ]  the dead <4191 muwth > ,  and my son <1121

 : 24 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  Bring 
<3947 laqach > me a sword <2719 chereb > .  And they brought 
<0935 bow> > a sword <2719 chereb > before <6440 paniym > the 
king <4428 melek > . 

 : 25 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  Divide 
<1504 gazar > the living <2416 chay > child <3206 yeled > in two 
<8147 sh@nayim > ,  and give <5414 nathan > half <2677 chetsiy > 
to the one <0259 >echad > ,  and half <2677 chetsiy > to the 
other <0259 >echad > . 

 : 26 Then spake <0559 >amar > the woman <0802 >ishshah > whose 
<0834 >aher > the living <2416 chay > child <1121 ben >  [ was ] 
 unto the king <4428 melek > ,  for her bowels <7358 rechem > 
yearned <3648 kamar > upon her son <1121 ben > ,  and she said 
<0559 >amar > ,  O my lord <0113 >adown > ,  give <5414 nathan > 
her the living <2416 chay > child <3205 yalad > ,  and in no

zo>th > said <0559 >amar > ,  Let it be neither mine nor thine , 
  [ but ]  divide <1504 gazar >  [ it ]  . 

 : 27 Then the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and 
said <0559 >amar > ,  Give <5414 nathan > her the living <2416 
chay > child <3205 yalad > ,  and in no <3808 lo> > wise slay

<5414 nathan > hire <7939 sakar > for thy servants <5650 <ebed >

that thou shalt appoint <7971 shalach > me ,  and will cause

thou shalt receive <5375 nasa> >  [ them ]  : and thou shalt 
accomplish <6213 <asah > my desire <2656 chephets > ,  in giving 
<5414 nathan > food <3899 lechem > for my household <1004 bayith

<1004 bayith >  [ with ]  timber <6086 <ets > of cedar <0730

 : 11 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <1961 hayah > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  saying <0559 
>amar > , 

 : 12  [ Concerning ]  this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > 
which <0834 >aher > thou art in building <1129 banah > ,  if 
<0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my statutes <2708 
chuqqah > ,  and execute <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 
mishpat > ,  and keep <8104 shamar > all <3605 kol > my 
commandments <4687 mitsvah > to walk <3212 yalak > in them ;  
then will I perform <6965 quwm > my word <1697 dabar > with thee 
,  which <0834 >aher > I spake <1696 dabar > unto David <1732 
David > thy father <1> : 

 : 13 And I will dwell <7931 shakan > among <8432 tavek > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and will not 
forsake <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > . 

 : 14 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > the house 
<1004 bayith > ,  and finished <3615 kalah > it . 

 : 15 .  And he built <1129 banah > the walls <7023 qiyr > of 
the house <1004 bayith > within <1004 bayith > with boards <6763 
tsela< > of cedar <0730 >erez > ,  both the floor <7172 qarqa< > 
of the house <1004 bayith > ,  and the walls <7023 qiyr > of the 
cieling <5604 cippun > :  [ and ]  he covered <6823 tsaphah >  [ 
them ]  on the inside <1004 bayith > with wood <6086 <ets > ,  
and covered <6823 tsaphah > the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the 
house <1004 bayith > with planks <6763 tsela< > of fir <1265 
b@rowsh > . 

 : 16 And he built <1129 banah > twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits 
<0520 >ammah > on the sides <3411 y@rekah > of the house <1004 
bayith > ,  both the floor <7172 qarqa< > and the walls <7023 
qiyr > with boards <6763 tsela< > of cedar <0730 >erez > : he 
even built <1129 banah >  [ them ]  for it within <1004 bayith > 
,   [ even ]  for the oracle <1687 d@biyr > ,   [ even ]  for 
the most <6944 qodesh > holy <6944 qodesh >  [ place ]  . 

 : 17 And the house <1004 bayith > ,  that  [ is ]  ,  the 
temple <1964 heykal > before <3942 liphnay > it ,  was forty 
<0705 >arba<iym > cubits <0520 >ammah >  [ long ]  . 

 : 18 And the cedar <0730 >erez > of the house <1004 bayith > 
within <6441p@niymah >  [ was ]  carved <4734 miqla<ath > with 
knops <6497 peqa< > and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts

no <0369 >ayin > stone <68> seen <7200 ra>ah > .

the house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah > ,  to set <5414 
nathan > there <8033 sham > the ark <0727 >arown > of the 
covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 20 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > in the forepart <6440 paniym

cubits <0520 >ammah > in the height <6967 qowmah > thereof : and 
he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with pure <5462 cagar > gold 
<2091 zahab > ;  and  [ so ]  covered <6823 tsaphah > the altar 
<4196 mizbeach >  [ which was of ]  cedar <0730 >erez > . 

 : 21 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the 
house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah > with pure <5462 
cagar > gold <2091 zahab > : and he made a partition <5674 <abar

<6440 paniym > the oracle <1687 d@biyr > ;  and he overlaid 
<6823 tsaphah > it with gold <2091 zahab > . 

 : 22 And the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > he overlaid 
<6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab > ,  until <5704 <ad > he 
had <1961 hayah > finished <8552 tamam > all <3605 kol > the 
house <1004 bayith > : also the whole <3605 kol > altar <4196 
mizbeach > that  [ was ]  by the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he 
overlaid <6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab > . 

 : 23 And within the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah > 
two <8147 sh@nayim > cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >  [ of ]  olive 
<8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > ,   [ each ]  ten <6235 <eser > 
cubits <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah > . 

 : 24 And five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >  [ was ]  
the one <0259 >echad > wing <3671 kanaph > of the cherub <3742 
k@ruwb > ,  and five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the

wing <3671 kanaph > unto the uttermost <7098 qatsah > part of 
the other <3671 kanaph >  [ were ]  ten <6235 <eser > cubits 
<0520 >ammah > . 

 : 25 And the other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb >  [ was

 : 26 The height <6967 qowmah > of the one <0259 >echad > cherub 
<3742 k@ruwb >  [ was ]  ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > 
,  and so <3651 ken >  [ was it ]  of the other <8145 sheniy > 
cherub <3742 k@ruwb > . 

 : 27 And he set <5414 nathan > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > 
within <8432 tavek > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > house <1004 
bayith > : and they stretched <6566 paras > forth the wings 
<3671 kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  so that the 
wing <3671 kanaph > of the one <0259 >echad > touched <5060 
naga< > the  [ one ]  wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and the wing <3671 
kanaph > of the other <8145 sheniy > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > 
touched <5060 naga< > the other <8145 sheniy > wall <7023 qiyr >

<3671 kanaph > another <3671 kanaph > in the midst <8432 tavek > 
of the house <1004 bayith > . 

 : 28 And he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb

 : 29 And he carved <7049 qala< > all <3605 kol > the walls 
<7023 qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith > round <4524 mecab > 
about <4524 mecab > with carved <6603 pittuwach > figures <4734 
miqla<ath > of cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > 
trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts > ,  within 
<6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown > . 

 : 30 And the floor <7172 qarqa< > of the house <1004 bayith > 
he overlaid <6823 tsaphah > with gold <2091 zahab > ,  within 
<6441 p@niymah > and without <2435 chiytsown > . 

 : 31 And for the entering <6607 pethach > of the oracle <1687 
d@biyr > he made <6213 <asah > doors <1817 deleth >  [ of ]  
olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > : the lintel <0352 >ayil

 : 32 The two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > also  [ were 
of ]  olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > ;  and he carved 
<7049 qala< > upon them carvings <4734 miqla<ath > of cherubims

[ them ]  with gold <2091 zahab > ,  and spread <7286 radad > 
gold <2091 zahab > upon the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and upon 
the palm <8561 timmor > trees .

flowers <6731 tsiyts > : and covered <6823 tsaphah >  [ them ]  
with gold <2091 zahab > fitted <3474 yashar > upon the carved 
<2707 chaqah > work .

court <2691 chatser > with three <7969 shalowsh > rows <2905 
tuwr > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth > ,  and a 
row <2905 tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 karuthah > . 

 : 37 In the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > was the 
foundation <3245 yacad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > laid ,  in the month <3391 yerach > Zif <2099 
Ziv > : 

 : 38 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the month

he seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > in building <1129

 : 1Kings 7

 : 1 .  But Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was building <1129 banah > 
his own house <1004 bayith > thirteen years <8141 shaneh > ,  
and he finished <3615 kalah > all <3605 kol > his house <1004 
bayith > . 

 : 2 He built <1129 banah > also the house <1004 bayith > of the 
forest <3293 ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ;  the length 
<0753 >orek > thereof  [ was ]  an hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits

that  [ lay ]  on forty <0705 >arba<iym > five <2568 chamesh >

 [ was ]  against <0413 >el > light <4237 mechezah >  [ in ]

throne <3678 kicce> > where he might judge <8199 shaphat > ,   [ 
even ]  the porch <0197 >uwlam > of judgment <4941 mishpat > : 
and  [ it was ]  covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez >

 : 13 .  And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent 
<7971 shalach > and fetched <3947 laqach > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > 
out of Tyre <6865 Tsor > .

cast <3333 y@tsukah > in two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > ,
  when it was cast <3333 y@tsukah > . 

 : 25 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar > ,

 : 28 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the bases <4350 m@kownah > 
 [ was ]  on this<2088 zeh >  [ manner ]  : they had borders 
<4526 micgereth > ,  and the borders <4526 micgereth >  [ were ]

 lions <0738 >ariy > ,  oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and cherubims

 : 33 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > 
 [ was ]  like the work <4639 ma<aseh > of a chariot <4818 
merkabah > wheel <0212 >owphan > : their axletrees <3027 yad > ,

<3802 katheph > to the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6438 pinnah

undersetters <3802 katheph >  [ were ]  of the very base <4350 
m@kownah > itself . 

 : 35 And in the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 m@kownah >  
[ was there ]  a round <5696 <agol > compass <5439 cabiyb > of 
half <2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah > :
 and on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of the base <4350 
m@kownah > the ledges <3027 yad > thereof and the borders <4526

<3027 yad > thereof ,  and on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 
micgereth > thereof ,  he graved <6605 pathach > cherubims <3742

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > with him ,  offered <2076 zabach > 
sacrifice <2077 zebach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068

 : 63 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offered <2076 zabach > a 
sacrifice <2077 zebach > of peace <8002 shelem > offerings ,  
which <0834 >aher > he offered <2076 zabach > unto the LORD

I have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605 t@phillah > and thy

 : 11 And the navy <0590 >oniy > also <1571 gam > of Hiram <2438 
Chiyram > ,  that brought <5375 nasa> > gold <2091 zahab > from 
Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > ,  brought <0935 bow> > in from Ophir

 : 13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414

all <3605 kol > her desire <2656 chephets > ,  whatsoever <0834

panah > and went <3212 yalak > to her own <0249 >ezrach > 
country <0776 >erets > ,  she and her servants <5650 <ebed > . 

 : 14 .  Now the weight <4948 mishqal > of gold <2091 zahab > 
that came <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in one <0259

the kings <4428 melek > of Arabia <6152 < Arab > ,  and of the 
governors <6346 pechah > of the country <0776 >erets > . 

 : 16 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 
<asah > two hundred <3967 me>ah > targets <6793 tsinnah >  [ of

gold <2091 zahab > ;  three <7969 shalowsh > pound <4488 maneh >

nathan > them in the house <1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 
ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > . 

 : 18 Moreover the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > a great 
<1419 gadowl > throne <3678 kicce> > of ivory <8127 shen > ,  
and overlaid <6823 tsaphah > it with the best <6338 pazaz > gold 
<2091 zahab > . 

 : 19 The throne <3678 kicce> > had six <8337 shesh > steps

kicce> >  [ was ]  round <5696 <agol > behind <0310 >achar > : 
and  [ there were ]  stays <3027 yad > on either side on <0413

and two <8147 sh@nayim > lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 <amad > 
beside <0681 >etsel > the stays <3027 yad > . 

 : 20 And twelve lions <0738 >ariy > stood <5975 <amad > there 
<8033 sham > on the one <2088 zeh > side and on the other <2088 
zeh > upon the six <8337 shesh > steps <4609 ma<alah > : there 
was not the like <3651 ken > made <6213 <asah > in any <3605 kol

 : 21 And all <3605 kol > king <4428 melek > Solomon s <8010 
Sh@lomoh > drinking <4945 mashqeh > vessels <3627 k@liy >  [ 
were of ]  gold <2091 zahab > ,  and all <3605 kol > the vessels 
<3627 k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 
ya<ar > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >  [ were of ]  pure <5462 
cagar > gold <2091 zahab > ;  none <0369 >ayin >  [ were of ]  
silver <3701 keceph > : it was nothing accounted <2803 chashab > 
of in the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > . 

 : 22 For the king <4428 melek > had at sea <3220 yam > a navy 
<0590 >oniy > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > with the navy <0590 
>oniy > of Hiram <2438 Chiyram > : once <0259 >echad > in three

<8500 tukkiy > . 

 : 23 So king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > exceeded 
<1431 gadal > all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the 
earth <0776 >erets > for riches <6239 <osher > and for wisdom 
<2451 chokmah > . 

 : 24 And all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets > sought <1245 
baqash > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  to hear <8085 shama< > 
his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  which <0834 >aher > God <0430

 : 25 And they brought <0935 bow> > every man <0376 >iysh > his 
present <4503 minchah > ,  vessels <3627 k@liy > of silver <3701 
keceph > ,  and vessels <3627 k@liy > of gold <2091 zahab > ,

pered > ,  a rate <1697 dabar > year <8141 shaneh > by year 
<8141 shaneh > . 

 : 26 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gathered <0622 >acaph > 
together chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash > : 
and he had a thousand <0505 >eleph > and four <0702 >arba< > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and twelve 
thousand <0505 >eleph > horsemen <6571 parash > ,  whom he 
bestowed <3240 yanach > in the cities <5892 <iyr > for chariots 
<7393 rekeb > ,  and with the king <4428 melek > at Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 : 27 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver 
<3701 keceph >  [ to be ]  in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > as 
stones <68> ,  and cedars <0730 >erez > made <5414 nathan > he  
[ to be ]  as the sycomore <8256 shaqam > trees that  [ are ]  
in the vale <8219 sh@phelah > ,  for abundance <7230 rob > . 

 : 28 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > 
brought <4161 mowtsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and 
linen <4723 miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh > : the king s <4428 
melek > merchants <5503 cachar > received <3947 laqach > the 
linen <4723 miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh > at a price <4242 
m@chiyr > . 

 : 29 And a chariot <4818 merkabah > came <5927 <alah > up and 
went <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for six <8337 
shesh > hundred <3967 me>ah >  [ shekels ]  of silver <3701 
keceph > ,  and an horse <5483 cuwc > for an hundred <3967 me>ah

the kings <4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy > ,  and 
for the kings <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > ,  did they 
bring <3318 yatsa> >  [ them ]  out by their means <3027 yad > . 

 : 1Kings 11

 : 1 .  But king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > loved 
<0157 >ahab > many <7227 rab > strange <5237 nokriy > women 
<0802 >ishshah > ,  together with the daughter <1323 bath > of 
Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  women of the Moabites <4125 Mow>abiy > 
,  Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  Edomites <0130 >Edomiy > ,  
Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,   [ and ]  Hittites <2850 Chittiy

 : 2 Of the nations <1471 gowy >  [ concerning ]  which <0834 
>aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Ye shall not 
go <0935 bow> > in to them ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall they 
come <0935 bow> > in unto you :  [ for ]  surely <0403 >aken > 
they will turn <5186 natah > away your heart <3824 lebab > after 
<0310 >achar > their gods <0430 >elohiym > : Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto these <1992 hem > in love 
<0160 >ahabah > . 

 : 3 And he had <1961 hayah > seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 
me>ah > wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  princesses <8282 sarah > ,  
and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > concubines 
<6370 piylegesh > : and his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 
natah > away his heart <3820 leb > . 

 : 4 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <6256 <eth > 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah > ,   [ that ]  
his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart 
<3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods 
<0430 >elohiym > : and his heart <3824 lebab > was not perfect 
<8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 
>elohiym > ,  as  [ was ]  the heart <3824 lebab > of David 
<1732 David > his father <1> . 

 : 5 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > after <0310 
>achar > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth > the goddess <0430 
>elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,  and after <0310 
>achar > Milcom <4445 Malkam > the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > 
of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > . 

 : 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 
ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
and went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  as  [ did ]  David <1732 David > his father 
<1> . 

 : 7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an 
high <1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > ,  the 
abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  in the 
hill <2022 har > that  [ is ]  before Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and for Molech <4432 Molek > ,  the 
abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the children <1121 ben > of 
Ammon <5983 <Ammown > . 

 : 8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605 
kol > his strange <5237 nokriy > wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  which 
burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076 
zabach > unto their gods <0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 9 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was angry <0599 >anaph > 
with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  because <3588 kiy > his heart 
<3824 lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  
which had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him twice <6471 pa<am > , 

 : 10 And had commanded <6680 tsavah > him concerning <5921 <al

<3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods 
<0430 >elohiym > : but he kept <8104 shamar > not that which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > .
 

 : 11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 
>amar > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  Forasmuch as this <2063 
zo>th > is done of thee ,  and thou hast not kept <8104 shamar > 
my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  
which <0834 >aher > I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee ,  I 
will surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from 
thee ,  and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650 
<ebed > . 

 : 12 Notwithstanding <0389 >ak > in thy days <3117 yowm > I 
will not do <6213 <asah > it for David <1732 David > thy father 
s <1> sake <4616 ma<an > :  [ but ]  I will rend <7167 qara< > 
it out of the hand <3027 yad > of thy son <1121 ben > . 

 : 13 Howbeit <7535 raq > I will not rend <7167 qara< > away all 
<3605 kol > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ;   [ but ]  will give 
<5414 nathan > one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > to thy 
son <1121 ben > for David <1732 David > my servant s <5650 <ebed

sake <4616 ma<an > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 
bachar > . 

 : 14 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <6965 quwm > up an 
adversary <7854 satan > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  Hadad 
<1908 Hadad > the Edomite <0130 >Edomiy > : he  [ was ]  of the 
king s <4428 melek > seed <2233 zera< > in Edom <0123 >Edom > . 

 : 15 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when David <1732 
David > was in Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the 
captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was gone <5927 
<alah > up to bury <6912 qabar > the slain <2491 chalal > ,  
after he had smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145 
zakar > in Edom <0123 >Edom > ; 

 : 16  ( For six <8337 shesh > months <2320 chodesh > did Joab 
<3097 Yow>ab > remain <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > with all 
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  until <5704 <ad > he had 
cut <3772 karath > off every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in 
Edom <0123 >Edom > :  ) 

 : 17 That Hadad <1908 Hadad > fled <1272 barach > ,  he and 
certain <0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father s <1> servants 
<5650 <ebed > with him ,  to go <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim > ;  Hadad <1908 Hadad >  [ being ]  yet a little 
<6996 qatan > child <5288 na<ar > . 

 : 18 And they arose <6965 quwm > out of Midian <4080 Midyan > , 
 and came <0935 bow> > to Paran <6290 Pa>ran > : and they took 
<3947 laqach > men <0582 >enowsh > with them out of Paran <6290 
Pa>ran > ,  and they came <0935 bow> > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim

<4714 Mitsrayim > ;  which gave <5414 nathan > him an house 
<1004 bayith > ,  and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899 
lechem > ,  and gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets > . 

 : 19 And Hadad <1908 Hadad > found <4672 matsa> > great <3966 
m@<od > favour <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of 
Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  so that he gave <5414 nathan > him to 
wife <0802 >ishshah > the sister <0269 >achowth > of his own 
wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes 
<8472 Tachp@neyc > the queen <1377 g@biyrah > . 

 : 20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472 
Tachp@neyc > bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath > 
his son <1121 ben > ,  whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned 
<1580 gamal > in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > house <1004 bayith > : 
and Genubath <1592 G@nubath > was in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > 
household <1004 bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben 
> of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > . 

 : 21 And when Hadad <1908 Hadad > heard <8085 shama< > in Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim > that David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab > 
with his fathers <1> ,  and that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain 
<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was dead <4191 muwth > ,  
Hadad <1908 Hadad > said <0559 >amar > to Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > 
,  Let me depart <7971 shalach > ,  that I may go <3212 yalak > 
to mine own country <0776 >erets > . 

 : 22 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
But what <4100 mah > hast thou lacked <2638 chacer > with me ,  
that ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou seekest <1245 baqash > to 
go <3212 yalak > to thine own country <0776 >erets > ?  And he 
answered <0559 >amar > ,  Nothing <3808 lo> > : howbeit let me 
go <7971 shalach > in any wise . 

 : 23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up  [ 
another ]  adversary <7854 satan > ,  Rezon <7331 R@zown > the 
son <1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< > ,  which <0834 >aher

<1909 Hadad<ezer > king <4428 melek > of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > : 

 : 24 And he gathered <6908 qabats > men <0582 >enowsh > unto 
him ,  and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band 
<1416 g@duwd > ,  when David <1732 David > slew <2026 harag > 
them  [ of Zobah <6678 Tsowba> > ]  : and they went <3212 yalak

therein ,  and reigned <4427 malak > in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq

 : 25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< > 
that Hadad <1908 Hadad >  [ did ]  : and he abhorred <6973 quwts

<5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > . 

 : 26 .  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  an Ephrathite <0673 >Ephrathiy > of 
Zereda ,  Solomon s <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 <ebed > ,  
whose mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  Zeruah ,  
a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  even he 
lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad > against the 
king <4428 melek > . 

 : 27 And this <2088 zeh >  [ was ]  the cause <1697 dabar > 
that he lifted <7311 ruwm > up  [ his ]  hand <3027 yad > 
against the king <4428 melek > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built 
<1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> > ,   [ and ]  repaired <5462 
cagar > the breaches <6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of 
David <1732 David > his father <1> . 

 : 28 And the man <0376 >iysh > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >  [ was 
]  a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man of valour <2428 chayil > : and 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > seeing <7200 ra>ah > the young <5288

paqad > over all <3605 kol > the charge <5447 cebel > of the 
house <1004 bayith > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > . 

 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at that time <6256 <eth

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that the prophet <5030 nabiy>

<4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek > ;  and he had clad

garment <8008 salmah > ;  and they two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ were

<7168 qera< > : 

 : 31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ,  
Take <3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< > :

Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom

tribes <7626 shebet > to thee : 

 : 32  ( But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > 
tribe <7626 shebet > for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732

<0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol

 : 33 Because that they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and 
have worshipped <7812 shachah > Ashtoreth <6252 <Ashtarowth > 
the goddess <0430 >elohiym > of the Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy > ,
  Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > the god <0430 >elohiym > of the

[ did ]  David <1732 David > his father <1> . 

 : 34 Howbeit I will not take <3947 laqach > the whole kingdom 
<4467 mamlakah > out of his hand <3027 yad > : but I will make

  because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments

 : 36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan > 
one <0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet > ,  that David <1732

 : 37 And I will take <3947 laqach > thee ,  and thou shalt 
reign <4427 malak > according to all <3605 kol > that thy soul 
<5315 nephesh > desireth <8378 ta>avah > ,  and shalt be king 
<4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 38 And it shall be ,  if <0518 >im > thou wilt hearken <8085 
shama< > unto all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee 
,  and wilt walk <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek > ,  and 
do <6213 <asah >  [ that is ]  right <3477 yashar > in my sight 
<5869 <ayin > ,  to keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2708

David <1732 David > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478

 : 39 And I will for this <2063 zo>th > afflict <6031 <anah > 
the seed <2233 zera< > of David <1732 David > ,  but not for 
ever . 

 : 40 Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sought <1245 baqash > therefore 
to kill <4191 muwth > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > .  And Jeroboam 
<3379 Yarob<am > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and fled <1272 barach > 
into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  unto Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq > 
king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and was in 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > until <5704 <ad > the death <4194 maveth

 : 41 .  And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > 
of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did 
<6213 <asah > ,  and his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,   [ are ]  
they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of 
the acts <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ? 

 : 42 And the time <3117 yowm > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
reigned <4427 malak > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > over 
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  
forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > . 

 : 43 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > in the city <5892 
<iyr > of David <1732 David > his father <1> : and Rehoboam 
<7346 R@chab<am > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in 
his stead <8478 tachath > . 

 : 1Kings 12

 : 1 .  And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > went <3212 yalak > to 
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > : for all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > were come <0935 bow> > to Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > to 
make him king <4427 malak > . 

 : 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  who 
<1931 huw> > was yet <5750 <owd > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  
heard <8085 shama< >  [ of it ]  ,   ( for he was fled <1272 
barach > from the presence <6440 paniym > of king <4428 melek > 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > dwelt 
<3427 yashab > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;  ) 

 : 3 That they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him 
.  And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the 
congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935 
bow> > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am

 : 4 Thy father <1> made our yoke <5923 <ol > grievous <7185 
qashah > : now <6258 <attah > therefore make thou the grievous 
<7186 qasheh > service <5656 <abodah > of thy father <1> ,  and 
his heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > he 
put <5414 nathan > upon us ,  lighter <7043 qalal > ,  and we 
will serve <5647 <abad > thee . 

 : 5 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Depart <3212 yalak > 
yet <5750 <owd >  [ for ]  three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 
yowm > ,  then come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to me .  
And the people <5971 <am > departed <3212 yalak > . 

 : 6 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > consulted 
<3289 ya<ats > with the old <2205 zaqen > men ,  that stood 
<5975 <amad > before Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his father <1> 
while he yet lived <2416 chay > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  How 
<0349 >eyk > do ye advise <3289 ya<ats > that I may answer <1697 
dabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ? 

 : 7 And they spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar

this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 
yowm > ,  and wilt serve <5647 <abad > them ,  and answer <6030 
<anah > them ,  and speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > words 
<1697 dabar > to them ,  then they will be thy servants <5650 
<ebed > for ever . 

 : 8 But he forsook <5800 <azab > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of 
the old <2205zaqen > men ,  which <0834 >aher > they had given 
<3289 ya<ats > him ,  and consulted <3289 ya<ats > with the 
young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 gadal > up with 
him ,   [ and ]  which <0834 >aher > stood <5975 <amad > before 
<6440 paniym > him : 

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah > 
counsel <3289 ya<ats > give ye that we may answer <1697 dabar > 
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  who <0834 >aher > have 
spoken <1696 dabar > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Make the 
yoke <5923 <ol > which <0834 >aher > thy father <1> did put 
<5414 nathan > upon us lighter <7043 qalal > ? 

 : 10 And the young <3206 yeled > men that were grown <1431 
gadal > up with him spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  saying <0559 
>amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou speak <0559 >amar > unto 
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > that spake <1696 dabar > 
unto thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thy father <1> made our 
yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > ,  but make thou  [ it ]  
lighter <7043 qalal > unto us ;  thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say 
<0559 >amar > unto them ,  My little <6996 qatan >  [ finger ]  
shall be thicker <5666 <abah > than my father s <1> loins <4975 
mothen > . 

 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > whereas my father <1> did lade 
<6006 <amac > you with a heavy <3515 kabed > yoke <5923 <ol > ,  
I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father 
<1> hath chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips <7752 showt > ,  
but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with scorpions <6137 
<aqrab > . 

 : 12 So Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > and all <3605 kol > the 
people <5971 <am > came <0935 bow> > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am

<4428 melek > had appointed <1696 dabar > ,  saying <0559 >amar

<7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 13 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > the 
people <5971 <am > roughly <7186 qasheh > ,  and forsook <5800 
<azab > the old <2205 zaqen > men s counsel <6098 <etsah > that 
they gave <3289 ya<ats > him ; 

 : 14 And spake <1696 dabar > to them after the counsel <6098 
<etsah > of the young <3206 yeled > men ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,
  My father <1> made your yoke <5923 <ol > heavy <3513 kabad > , 
 and I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my 
father <1>  [ also ]  chastised <3256 yacar > you with whips 
<7752 showt > ,  but I will chastise <3256 yacar > you with 
scorpions <6137 <aqrab > . 

 : 15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened 
<8085 shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am > ;  for the cause 
<5438 cibbah > was from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that he 
might perform <6965 quwm > his saying <1697 dabar > ,  which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > by 
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > unto 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 
N@bat > . 

 : 16 .  So when all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saw 
<7200 ra>ah > that the king <4428 melek > hearkened <8085 shama< 
> not unto them ,  the people <5971 <am > answered <1697 dabar > 
the king <4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah

neither <3808 lo> >  [ have we ]  inheritance <5159 nachalah > 
in the son <1121 ben > of Jesse <3448 Yishay > : to your tents 
<0168 >ohel > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : now <6258 <attah > 
see <7200 ra>ah > to thine own house <1004 bayith > ,  David 
<1732 David > .  So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > departed <3212 yalak

 : 17 But  [ as for ]  the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > which dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > reigned 
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > them . 

 : 18 Then king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > sent 
<7971 shalach > Adoram <0151 >Adoram > ,  who <0834 >aher >  [ 
was ]  over <5921 <al > the tribute <4522 mac > ;  and all <3605 
kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > stoned <7275 ragam > him with 
stones <68> ,  that he died <4191 muwth > .  Therefore king 
<4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made speed <0553 >amats

to flee <5127 nuwc > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 : 19 So Israel <3478 Yisra>el > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against 
the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > unto this <2088 
zeh > day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when all <3605 kol > 
Israel <3478Yisra>el > heard <8085 shama< > that Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am > was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > ,  that 
they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him unto the 
congregation <5712 <edah > ,  and made him king <4427 malak > 
over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : there 
was none <3808 lo> > that followed <0310 >achar > the house 
<1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ,  but the tribe <7626 
shebet > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad > . 

 : 21 And when Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > was come <0935 bow> > 
to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  he assembled <6950 qahal > 
all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

,  an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > 
thousand <0505 >eleph > chosen <0970 bachuwr > men ,  which were 
warriors ,  to fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > the 
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  to bring 
<7725 shuwb > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > again <7725 shuwb > 
to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > . 

 : 22 But the word <1697 dabar > of God <0430 >elohiym > came 
<1961 hayah > unto Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 23 Speak <0559 >amar > unto Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > ,  the 
son <1121 ben > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,  king <4428 melek

house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Benjamin 
<1144 Binyamiyn > ,  and to the remnant <3499 yether > of the 
people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  Ye shall not go <5927 <alah > up ,  nor <3808 lo> > 
fight <3898 lacham > against <5973 <im > your brethren <0251

return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his house <1004 
bayith > ;  for this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > is from me .
  They hearkened <8085 shama< > therefore to the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and returned <7725 shuwb

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 25 .  Then Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > built <1129 banah > 
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > in mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

<3318 yatsa> > out from thence <8033 sham > ,  and built <1129 
banah > Penuel <6439 P@nuw>el > . 

 : 26 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > in his 
heart <3820 leb > ,  Now <6258 <attah > shall the kingdom <4467

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  then shall the heart <3820 leb

go again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > . 

 : 28 Whereupon the king <4428 melek > took counsel <3289 ya<ats

<egel >  [ of ]  gold <2091 zahab > ,  and said <0559 >amar > 
unto them ,  It is too much <7227 rab > for you to go <5927 
<alah > up to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : behold <2009 
hinneh > thy gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,
  which <0834 >aher > brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of the 
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

<1008 Beyth - >El > ,  and the other <0259 >echad > put <5414 
nathan > he in Dan <1835 Dan > . 

 : 30 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 
hayah > a sin <2403 chatta>ah > : for the people <5971 <am > 
went <3212 yalak >  [ to worship ]  before <6440 paniym > the 
one <0259 >echad > ,   [ even ]  unto Dan <1835 Dan > .

<1116 bamah > places ,  and made <6213 <asah > priests <3548 
kohen > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people <5971 <am > , 
 which <0834 >aher > were not of the sons <1121 ben > of Levi 
<3878 Leviy > . 

 : 32 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > ordained <6213 <asah > a

that  [ is ]  in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and he offered <5927

<6213 <asah > he in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  sacrificing 
<2076 zabach > unto the calves <5695 <egel > that he had made

Beyth - >El > the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah

<asah > a feast <2282 chag > unto the children <1121 ben > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the

 : 1Kings 13

 : 1 .  And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came <0935 bow> > 
a man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > out of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
unto Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > 
stood <5975 <amad > by the altar <4196 mizbeach > to burn <6999 
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > . 

 : 2 And he cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > the altar 
<4196 mizbeach > in the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O altar <4196 mizbeach > ,
  altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a child

the priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places that 
burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon thee ,  and men s 
<0120 >adam > bones <6106 <etsem > shall be burnt <8313 saraph > 
upon thee . 

 : 3 And he gave <5414 nathan > a sign <4159 mowpheth > the same

 : 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when king <4428 melek

<1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > , 
 which <0834 >aher > had cried <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > 
the altar <4196 mizbeach > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  that 
he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad

hold <8610 taphas > on him .  And his hand <3027 yad > ,  which 
<0834 >aher > he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > 
against <5921 <al > him ,  dried <3001 yabesh > up ,  so that he 
could <3201 yakol > not pull <7725 shuwb > it in again <7725 
shuwb > to him . 

 : 5 The altar <4196 mizbeach > also was rent <7167 qara< > ,  
and the ashes <1880 deshen > poured <8210 shaphak > out from the 
altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  according to the sign <4159 mowpheth > 
which <0834 >aher > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym

<3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 6 And the king <4428 melek > answered <6030 <anah > and said 
<0559 >amar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > 
,  Intreat <2470 chalah > now <4994 na> > the face <6440 paniym

pray <6419 palal > for me ,  that my hand <3027 yad > may be

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > besought <2470 chalah > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the king s <4428 melek > hand 
<3027 yad > was restored <7725 shuwb > him again <7725 shuwb > , 
 and became <1961 hayah > as  [ it was ]  before <7223 ri>shown

 : 7 And the king <4428 melek > said <1696 dabar > unto the man 
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  Come <0935 bow> > home 
<1004 bayith > with me ,  and refresh <5582 ca<ad > thyself ,  
and I will give <5414 nathan > thee a reward <4991 mattath > . 

 : 8 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said 
<0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  If <0518 >im > thou 
wilt give <5414 nathan > me half <2677 chetsiy > thine house

neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem

 : 9 For so <3651 ken > was it charged <6680 tsavah > me by the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559

,  nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > ,  
nor <3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > by the 
same way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 halak > . 

 : 10 So he went <3212 yalak > another <0312 >acher > way <1870 
derek > ,  and returned <7725 shuwb > not by the way <1870 derek

 : 11 .  Now there dwelt <3427 yashab > an old <2205 zaqen > 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ;  and his 
sons <1121 ben > came <0935 bow> > and told <5608 caphar > him 
all <3605 kol > the works <4639 ma<aseh > that the man <0376

<3117 yowm > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : the words <1697 
dabar > which <0834 >aher > he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto the 
king <4428 melek > ,  them they told <5608 caphar > also to 
their father <1> . 

 : 12 And their father <1> said <1696 dabar > unto them ,  What 
way <1870 derek > went <1980 halak > he ?  For his sons <1121 
ben > had seen <7200 ra>ah > what <0834 >aher > way <1870 derek

Y@huwdah > . 

 : 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his sons <1121 ben > ,  
Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr > .  So they 
saddled <2280 chabash > him the ass <2543 chamowr > : and he 
rode <7392 rakab > thereon <5921 <al > , 

 : 14 And went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the man <0376

sitting <3427 yashab > under <8478 tachath > an oak <0424 >elah

<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > that camest <0935 bow> > 
from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ 
am ]  . 

 : 15 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Come <3212 yalak > 
home <1004 bayith > with me ,  and eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 
lechem > . 

 : 16 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I may <3201 yakol > not 
return <7725 shuwb > with thee ,  nor go <0935 bow> > in with 
thee : neither <3808 lo> > will I eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 
lechem > nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim

 : 17 For it was said <1697 dabar > to me by the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Thou shalt eat <0398 
>akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808 lo> > 
drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > there <8033 sham > ,  
nor <3808 lo> > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to go 
<3212 yalak > by the way <1870 derek > that thou camest <1980 
halak > . 

 : 18 He said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  I  [ am ]  a prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > also <1571 gam > as thou  [ art ]  ;  and an 
angel <4397 mal>ak > spake <1696 dabar > unto me by the word 
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar

<4325 mayim > .   [ But ]  he lied <3584 kachash > unto him . 

 : 19 So he went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > with him ,  
and did eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > in his house 
<1004 bayith > ,  and drank <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > .
 

 : 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as they sat <3427 
yashab > at <0413 >el > the table <7979 shulchan > ,  that the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah

God <0430 >elohiym > that came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Forasmuch as thou hast 
disobeyed <4784 marah > the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  and hast not kept <8104 shamar > the commandment 
<4687 mitsvah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy 
God <0430 >elohiym > commanded <6680 tsavah > thee , 

 : 22 But camest <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > ,  and hast 
eaten <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > and drunk <8354 shathah

carcase <5038 n@belah > shall not come <0935 bow> > unto the

  for the prophet <5030 nabiy> > whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961

 : 24 And when he was gone <3212 yalak > ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > 
met <4672 matsa> > him by the way <1870 derek > ,  and slew 
<4191 muwth > him : and his carcase <5038 n@belah > was cast

<8085 shama< >  [ thereof ]  ,  he said <0559 >amar > ,  It  [

which hath torn <7665 shabar > him ,  and slain <4191 muwth >

saying <0559 >amar > ,  Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543

king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > ,  and sent <7971 shalach > 
the captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <2428 chayil > which <0834

<7535 raq > in the time <6256 <eth > of his old <2209 ziqnah > 
age he was diseased <2470 chalah > in his feet <7272 regel > .

 : 9 And his servant <5650 <ebed > Zimri <2174 Zimriy > ,  
captain <8269 sar > of half <4276 machatsiyth >  [ his ]  
chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921

twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141

 : 11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when he began to 
reign <4427 malak > ,  as soon as he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921

  [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of

word <1697 dabar > . 

 : 2 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 3 Get <3212 yalak > thee hence <2088 zeh > ,  and turn <6437

<6680 tsavah > the ravens <6158 <oreb > to feed <3557 kuwl > 
thee there <8033 sham > . 

 : 5 So he went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according 
unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he 
went <3212 yalak > and dwelt <3427 yashab > by the brook <5158

<3383 Yarden > . 

 : 6 And the ravens <6158 <oreb > brought <0935 bow> > him bread

 : 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a

 : 10 So he arose <6965 quwm > and went <3212 yalak > to 
Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > .  And when he came <0935 bow> > to 
the gate <6607 pethach > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  behold

 : 11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach > 
 [ it ]  ,  he called <7121 qara> > to her ,  and said <0559

a morsel <6595 path > of bread <3899 lechem > in thine hand 
<3027 yad > . 

 : 12 And she said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > liveth <2416 chay > ,  I have 
<3426 yesh > not a cake <4580 ma<owg > ,  but an handful of meal

m@<at > oil <8081 shemen > in a cruse <6835 tsappachath > : and ,
  behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  gathering <7197 qashash > two

that we may eat <0398 >akal > it ,  and die <4191 muwth > . 

 : 13 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  
Fear <3372 yare> > not ;  go <0935 bow> >  [ and ]  do <6213 
<asah > as thou hast said <0559 >amar > : but make <6213 <asah >

unto me ,  and after <0314 >acharown > make <6213 <asah > for 
thee and for thy son <1121 ben > . 

 : 14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  The 
barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > shall not waste <3615

<5414 nathan > rain <1653 geshem > upon the earth <0127 >adamah

 : 15 And she went <3212 yalak > and did <6213 <asah > according 
to the saying <1697 dabar > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > : and she ,
  and he ,  and her house <1004 bayith > ,  did <6213 <asah > 
eat <0398 >akal >  [ many ]  days <3117 yowm > . 

 : 16  [ And ]  the barrel <3537 kad > of meal <7058 qemach > 
wasted <3615 kalah > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > did the cruse 
<6835 tsappachath > of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2638 chacer > ,  
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by Elijah <0452

 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > 
these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  the 
son <1121 ben > of the woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  the mistress 
<1172 ba<alah > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  fell sick <2470

sore <2389 chazaq > ,  that there was no <3808 lo> > breath 
<5397 n@shamah > left <3498 yathar > in him . 

 : 18 And she said <0559 >amar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  
What <4100 mah > have I to do with thee ,  O thou man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ?  art thou come <0935 bow> > 
unto me to call <2142 zakar > my sin <5771 <avon > to 
remembrance <2142 zakar > ,  and to slay <4191 muwth > my son 
<1121 ben > ? 

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Give <5414 nathan > 
me thy son <1121 ben > .  And he took <3947 laqach > him out of 
her bosom <2436 cheyq > ,  and carried <5927 <alah > him up into 
<0413 >el > a loft <5944 <aliyah > ,  where he abode <3427 
yashab > ,  and laid <7901 shakab > him upon his own bed <4296 
mittah > . 

 : 20 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , 
 and said <0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430

widow <0490 >almanah > with whom <0834 >aher > I sojourn <1481 
guwr > ,  by slaying <4191 muwth > her son <1121 ben > ? 

 : 21 And he stretched <4058 madad > himself upon the child 
<3206 yeled > three<7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > ,  and 
cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > ,
  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  let this <2088 zeh > child s <3206 
yeled > soul <5315 nephesh > come <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > 
him again <7725 shuwb > . 

 : 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > heard <8085 shama< > the 
voice <6963 qowl > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ;  and the soul 
<5315 nephesh > of the child <3206 yeled > came <7725 shuwb > 
into <5921 <al > him again <7725 shuwb > ,  and he revived <2421

 : 23 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > the child 
<3206 yeled > ,  and brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad

 : 24 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > to 
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  Now <6258 <attah > by this <2088 zeh > 
I know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  a man <0376 >iysh > of

 : 1Kings 18

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass  [ after ]  many <7227 
rab > days <3117 yowm > ,  that the word <1697 dabar > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah

<0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  shew <7200 ra>ah > thyself 
unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ;  and I will send <5414 nathan > rain 
<4306 matar > upon the earth <0127 >adamah > . 

 : 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > to shew <7200 
ra>ah > himself unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > .  And  [ there was ]  
a sore <2389 chazaq > famine <7458 ra<ab > in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > . 

 : 3 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > called <7121 qara> > Obadiah <5662 
<Obadyah > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  the governor <5921 
<al > of  [ his ]  house <1004 bayith > .   ( Now Obadiah <5662 
<Obadyah > feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > greatly 
<3966 m@<od > : 

 : 4 For it was  [ so ]  ,  when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > cut 
<3772 karath > off the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  that Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > took <3947 laqach > 
an hundred <3967 me>ah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and hid 
<2244> them by fifty <2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 
m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557 kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > 
and water <4325 mayim > .  ) 

 : 5 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto Obadiah 
<5662 <Obadyah > ,  Go <3212 yalak > into the land <0776 >erets 
> ,  unto all <3605 kol > fountains <4599 ma<yan > of water 
<4325 mayim > ,  and unto all brooks <5158 nachal > : 
peradventure <0194 >uwlay > we may find <4672 matsa> > grass 
<2682 chatsiyr > to save <2421 chayah > the horses <5483 cuwc > 
and mules <6505 pered > alive <2421 chayah > ,  that we lose 
<3772 karath > not all <3605 kol > the beasts <0929 b@hemah > . 

 : 6 So they divided <2505 chalaq > the land <0776 >erets > 
between them to pass <5674 <abar > throughout it : Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > went <1980 halak > one <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek

another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself . 

 : 7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way <1870 derek

qir>ah > him : and he knew <5234 nakar > him ,  and fell <5307 
naphal > on <5921 <al > his face <6440 paniym > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,   [ Art ]  thou that my lord <0113 >adown > 
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ? 

 : 8 And he answered <0559 >amar > him ,  I  [ am ]  : go <3212 
yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  Behold 
<2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  . 

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > have I sinned 
<2398 chata> > ,  that thou wouldest deliver <5414 nathan > thy 
servant <5650 <ebed > into the hand <3027 yad > of Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > ,  to slay <4191 muwth > me ? 

 : 10  [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > 
liveth <2416 chay > ,  there is no <0518 >im > nation <1471 gowy 
> or kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ,  whither my lord <0113 >adown > 
hath not sent <7971 shalach > to seek <1245 baqash > thee : and 
when they said <0559 >amar > ,   [ He is ]  not  [ there ]  ;  
he took an oath <7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > 
and nation <1471 gowy > ,  that they found <4672 matsa> > thee 
not . 

 : 11 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go 
<3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  . 

 : 12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ as soon as ] 
 I am gone <3212 yalak > from thee ,  that the Spirit <7307 
ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall carry <5375 nasa> > 
thee whither I know <3045 yada< > not ;  and  [ so ]  when I 
come <0935 bow> > and tell <5046 nagad > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  
and he cannot <3808 lo> > find <4672 matsa> > thee ,  he shall 
slay <2026 harag > me : but I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear 
<3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from my youth <5271 
na<uwr > . 

 : 13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 >adown > what 
I did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026 
harag > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
  how I hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of 
the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > prophets <5030 nabiy> > by fifty 
<2572 chamishshiym > in a cave <4631 m@<arah > ,  and fed <3557 
kuwl > them with bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > ? 

 : 14 And now <6258 <attah > thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  Go 
<3212 yalak > ,  tell <0559 >amar > thy lord <0113 >adown > ,  
Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >  [ is here ]  : 
and he shall slay <2026 harag > me . 

 : 15 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > liveth <2416 
chay > ,  before <6440 paniym > whom <0834 >aher > I stand <5975 
<amad > ,  I will surely <3588 kiy > shew <7200 ra>ah > myself 
unto him to day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 16 So Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <3212 yalak > to meet 
<7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and told <5046 nagad > 
him : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125 
qir>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > . 

 : 17 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  that Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,   [ Art ]  thou he 
that troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ? 

 : 18 And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have not troubled <5916 
<akar > Israel<3478 Yisra>el > ;  but thou ,  and thy father s 
<1> house <1004 bayith > ,  in that ye have forsaken <5800 <azab

 and thou hast followed Baalim <1168 Ba<al > . 

 : 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore send <7971 shalach > ,   [ 
and ]  gather <6908 qabats > to me all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > ,  and 
the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > four <0702

and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah > 
four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > ,  which eat <0398

 : 20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all 
<3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,
  and gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
together unto mount <2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel > . 

 : 21 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > came <5066 nagash > unto all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  
How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between

then ]  follow him .  And the people <5971 <am > answered <6030 
<anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > . 

 : 22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the 
people <5971 <am > ,  I ,   [ even ]  I only <0905 bad > ,  
remain <3498 yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068

are ]  four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > . 

 : 23 Let them therefore give <5414 nathan > us two <8147 
sh@nayim > bullocks <6499 par > ;  and let them choose <0977 
bachar > one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for themselves 
<1992 hem > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > it in pieces ,  and lay 
<7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and 
put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh >  [ under ]  : 
and I will dress <6213 <asah > the other <0259 >echad > bullock 
<6499 par > ,  and lay <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > wood 
<6086 <ets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784

 : 24 And call <7121 qara> > ye on the name <8034 shem > of your 
gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and I will call <7121 qara> > on the 
name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and the God 
<0430 >elohiym > that answereth <6030 <anah > by fire <0784 >esh

people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > 
,  It is well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar > . 

 : 25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  Choose <0977 
bachar > you one <0259 >echad > bullock <6499 par > for

<7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430

 : 26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which 
was given <5414 nathan > them ,  and they dressed <6213 <asah >  
[ it ]  ,  and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of 
Baal <1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704 
<ad > noon <6672 tsohar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  O Baal 
<1168 Ba<al > ,  hear <6030 <anah > us .  But  [ there was ]  no 
<0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > any that 
answered <6030 <anah > .  And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon 
the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > was made <6213 
<asah > . 

 : 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar > , 
 that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > ,  Cry <7121 qara> > aloud : for he  [ is ]  
a god <0430 >elohiym > ;  either <3588 kiy > he is talking <7879

journey <1870 derek > ,   [ or ]  peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he 
sleepeth <3463 yashen > ,  and must be awaked <3364 yaqats > . 

 : 28 And they cried <7121 qara> > aloud ,  and cut <1413 gadad

<2719 chereb > and lancets <7420 romach > ,  till <5704 <ad > 
the blood <1818 dam > gushed <8210 shaphak > out upon them . 

 : 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when midday <6672 
tsohar > was past <5674 <abar > ,  and they prophesied <5012 
naba> > until <5704 <ad > the  [ time ]  of the offering <5927

[ there was ]  neither <0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > ,  nor 
<0369 >ayin > any to answer <6030 <anah > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > 
any that regarded <7182 qesheb > . 

 : 30 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  Come <5066 nagash > near 
<5066 nagash > unto me .  And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 
<am > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > unto him .  And he 
repaired <7495 rapha> > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >  [ that was ]  broken <2040 harac > down . 

 : 31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve 
stones <68> ,  according to the number <4557 micpar > of the 
tribes <7626 shebet > of the sons <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 
Ya<aqob > ,  unto whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > ,  saying <0559

 : 32 And with the stones <68> he built <1129 banah > an altar 
<4196 mizbeach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > : and he made <6213 <asah > a trench <8585 t@<alah > 
about <5439 cabiyb > the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  as great 
<1004 bayith > as would contain <1004 bayith > two measures 
<5429 c@>ah > of seed <2233 zera< > . 

 : 33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order 
<6186 <arak > ,  and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par > 
in pieces ,  and laid <7760 suwm >  [ him ]  on <5921 <al > the 
wood <6086 <ets > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Fill <4390 male>

 : 34 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the second <8138 
shanah > time .  And they did  [ it ]  the second <8138 shanah > 
time .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Do  [ it ]  the third <8027 
shalash > time .  And they did  [ it ]  the third <8027 shalash

 : 35 And the water <4325 mayim > ran <7323 ruwts > round <5439 
cabiyb > about the altar <4196 mizbeach > ;  and he filled <4390 
male> > the trench <8565 tan > also <1571 gam > with water <4325 
mayim > . 

 : 36 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at  [ the time of ]  the 
offering <5927 <alah > of the  [ evening ]  sacrifice <4503 
minchah > ,  that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the prophet <5030 
nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Abraham <85> ,  Isaac <3327 Yitschaq > ,  and of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  let it be known <3045 yada< > this <2088 zeh > day 
<3117 yowm > that thou  [ art ]  God <0430 >elohiym > in Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ,  and  [ that ]  I  [ am ]  thy servant <5650

kol > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > at thy word 
<1697 dabar > . 

 : 37 Hear <6030 <anah > me ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  hear 
<6030 <anah > me ,  that this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > may 
know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and  [ that ]  thou hast turned <5437 
cabab > their heart <3820 leb > back <0322 >achoranniyth > again 
<0322 >achoranniyth > . 

 : 38 Then the fire <0784 >esh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
fell <5307 naphal > ,  and consumed <0398 >akal > the burnt 
<5930 <olah > sacrifice ,  and the wood <6086 <ets > ,  and the 
stones <68> ,  and the dust <6083 <aphar > ,  and licked <3897 
lachak > up the water <4325 mayim > that  [ was ]  in the trench 
<8565 tan > . 

 : 39 And when all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > saw <7200 
ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  they fell <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > 
their faces <6440 paniym > : and they said <0559 >amar > ,  The 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he  [ is ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > ;  
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he  [ is ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > 
. 

 : 40 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  
Take <8610 taphas > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 
Ba<al > ;  let not one <0376 >iysh > of them escape <4422 malat

brook <5158 nachal > Kishon <7028 Qiyshown > ,  and slew <7819 
shachat > them there <8033 sham > . 

 : 41 .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > ,  Get <5927 <alah > thee up ,  eat <0398 >akal

 : 42 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <5927 <alah > up to eat <0398

Karmel > ;  and he cast <1457 gahar > himself down <1457 gahar > 
upon the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and put <7760 suwm > his face 
<6440 paniym > between <0996 beyn > his knees <1290 berek > , 

 : 43 And said <0559 >amar > to his servant <5288 na<ar > ,  Go 
<5927 <alah > up now <4994 na> > ,  look <5027 nabat > toward 
<1870 derek > the sea <3220 yam > .  And he went <5927 <alah > 
up ,  and looked <5027 nabat > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ 
There is ]  nothing .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <7725 
shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 
pa<am > . 

 : 44 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seventh <7637 
sh@biy<iy > time ,  that he said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  there ariseth <5927 <alah > a little <6996 qatan > 
cloud <5645 <ab > out of the sea <3220 yam > ,  like a man s

Go <5927 <alah > up ,  say <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

yarad > thee down <3381 yarad > ,  that the rain <1653 geshem > 
stop <6113 <atsar > thee not . 

 : 45 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the mean while <3541 
koh > ,  that the heaven <8064 shamayim > was black <6937 qadar

was a great <1419 gadowl > rain <1653 geshem > .  And Ahab <0256

Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > . 

 : 46 And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was 
on <0413 >el > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ;  and he girded <8151 
shanac > up his loins <4975 mothen > ,  and ran <7323 ruwts > 
before <6440 paniym > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the entrance <0935

 : 1 .  And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > told <5046 nagad > Jezebel 
<0348 >Iyzebel > all <3605 kol > that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > had 
done <6213 <asah > ,  and withal how <0834 >aher > he had slain 
<2026 harag > all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > with 
the sword <2719 chereb > . 

 : 2 Then Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > sent <7971 shalach > a 
messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  saying 
<0559 >amar > ,  So <3541 koh > let the gods <0430 >elohiym > do 
<6213 <asah >  [ to me ]  ,  and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541

the life <5315 nephesh > of one <0259 >echad > of them by to 
morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth > . 

 : 3 And when he saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ that ]  ,  he arose <6965 
quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  
and came <0935 bow> > to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > ,  which 
<0834 >aher >  [ belongeth ]  to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and 
left <3240 yanach > his servant <5288 na<ar > there <8033 sham > 
. 

 : 4 But he himself <1931 huw> > went <1980 halak > a day s 
<3117 yowm > journey <1870 derek > into the wilderness <4057 
midbar > ,  and came <0935 bow> > and sat <3427 yashab > down 
under <8478 tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree : and he 
requested <7592 sha>al > for himself <5315 nephesh > that he 
might die <4191 muwth > ;  and said <0559 >amar > ,  It is 
enough <7227 rab > ;  now <6258 <attah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah

[ am ]  not better <2896 towb > than my fathers <1> . 

 : 5 And as he lay <7901 shakab > and slept <3462 yashen > under 
<8478 tachath > a juniper <7574 rethem > tree ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  then an angel <4397 mal>ak > touched <5060 naga< >

and ]  eat <0398 >akal > . 

 : 6 And he looked <5027 nabat > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > 
,   [ there was ]  a cake <5692 <uggah > baken on the coals 
<7529 retseph > ,  and a cruse <6835 tsappachath > of water 
<4325 mayim > at his head <4763 m@ra>ashah > .  And he did eat 
<0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > ,  and laid <7901 shakab

 : 7 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the second <8145 sheniy > 
time ,  and touched <5060 naga< > him ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,
  Arise <6965 quwm >  [ and ]  eat <0398 >akal > ;  because 
<3588 kiy > the journey <1870 derek >  [ is ]  too great <7227

 : 8 And he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and did eat <0398 >akal > and 
drink <8354 shathah > ,  and went <3212 yalak > in the strength 
<3581 koach > of that meat <0396 >akiylah > forty <0705

God <0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 9 .  And he came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > unto a 
cave <4631 m@<arah > ,  and lodged <3885 luwn > there <8033 sham

 : 10 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I have been very jealous 
<7065 qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> > : for the children <1121 ben > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > have forsaken <5800 <azab > thy covenant <1285

<1245 baqash > my life <5315 nephesh > ,  to take <3947 laqach >

 : 11 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 
yatsa> > ,  and stand <5975 <amad > upon the mount <2022 har >

<7065 qana> > for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> > : because <3588 kiy > the children <1121 
ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have forsaken <5800 <azab > thy 
covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  thrown <2040 harac > down <2040 
harac > thine altars <4196 mizbeach > ,  and slain <2026 harag > 
thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > with the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and 
I ,   [ even ]  I only <0905 bad > ,  am left <3498 yathar > ;  
and they seek <1245 baqash > my life <5315 nephesh > ,  to take 
<3947 laqach > it away . 

 : 15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him , 
 Go <3212 yalak > ,  return <7725 shuwb > on thy way <1870 derek

 and when thou comest <0935 bow> > ,  anoint <4886 mashach > 
Hazael <2371 Chaza>el >  [ to be ]  king <4428 melek > over 
<5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > : 

 : 16 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi 
<5250 Nimshiy > shalt thou anoint <4886 mashach >  [ to be ]  
king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : 
and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat 
<8202 Shaphat > of Abelmeholah <65> shalt thou anoint <4886 
mashach >  [ to be ]  prophet <5030 nabiy> > in thy room <8478 
tachath > . 

 : 17 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ that ]  him 
that escapeth <4422 malat > the sword <2719 chereb > of Hazael 
<2371 Chaza>el > shall Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slay <4191 muwth > : 
and him that escapeth <4422 malat > from the sword <2719 chereb

<4191 muwth > . 

 : 18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar >  [ me ]  seven <7651 sheba<

<5401 nashaq > him . 

 : 19 .  So he departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham > ,  and 
found <4672 matsa> > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben

plowing <2790 charash >  [ with ]  twelve yoke <6776 tsemed >  [

 and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > passed <5674 <abar > by him ,  and 
cast <7993 shalak > his mantle <0155 >addereth > upon him . 

 : 20 And he left <5800 <azab > the oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and 
ran <7323 ruwts > after <0310 >achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  
and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  
kiss <5401 nashaq > my father <1> and my mother <0517 >em > ,  
and  [ then ]  I will follow thee .  And he said <0559 >amar > 
unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > back <7725 shuwb > again <7725 
shuwb > : for what <4100 mah > have I done <6213 <asah > to thee 
? 

 : 21 And he returned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from him ,
  and took <3947 laqach > a yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241 
baqar > ,  and slew <2076 zabach > them ,  and boiled <1310 
bashal > their flesh <1320 basar > with the instruments <3627 
k@liy > of the oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and gave <5414 nathan > 
unto the people <5971 <am > ,  and they did eat <0398 >akal > .  
Then he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 
>achar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  and ministered <8334 sharath

 : 1 .  And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > the king <4428 melek > of 
Syria <0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > his 
host <2428 chayil > together : and  [ there were ]  thirty <7970 
sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > with 
him ,  and horses <5483 cuwc > ,  and chariots <7393 rekeb > : 
and he went <5927 <alah > up and besieged <6696 tsuwr > Samaria 
<8111 Shom@rown > ,  and warred <3898 lacham > against it . 

 : 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to 
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,
 

 : 3 Thy silver <3701 keceph > and thy gold <2091 zahab >  [ is

<1121 ben > ,   [ even ]  the goodliest <2896 towb > ,   [ are ] 
 mine . 

 : 4 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  My lord <0113

<1697 dabar > ,  I  [ am ]  thine ,  and all <3605 kol > that I 
have . 

 : 5 And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > came <7725 shuwb > again 
<7725 shuwb > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
speaketh <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > ,  saying <0559

thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thou shalt deliver <5414 nathan

and thy wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  and thy children <1121 ben > ; 

 : 6 Yet <3588 kiy > I will send <7971 shalach > my servants 
<5650 <ebed > unto thee to morrow <4279 machar > about this time 
<6256 <eth > ,  and they shall search <2664 chaphas > thine 
house <1004 bayith > ,  and the houses <1004 bayith > of thy 
servants <5650 <ebed > ;  and it shall be ,   [ that ]  
whatsoever <3605 kol > is pleasant <4261 machmad > in thine eyes 
<5869 <ayin > ,  they shall put <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  in their 
hand <3027 yad > ,  and take <3947 laqach >  [ it ]  away . 

 : 7 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of 
the land <0776 >erets > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Mark <3045 
yada< > ,  I pray <4994 na> > you ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > how 
<3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh >  [ man ]  seeketh <1245 baqash > 
mischief <7451 ra< > : for he sent <7971 shalach > unto me for 
my wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  and for my children <1121 ben > ,  
and for my silver <3701 keceph > ,  and for my gold <2091 zahab

 : 8 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > and all <3605

Hearken <8085 shama< > not  [ unto him ]  ,  nor <3808 lo> > 
consent <14> . 

 : 9 Wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the messengers <4397

lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  All <3605 kol > 
that thou didst send <7971 shalach > for to thy servant <5650 
<ebed > at the first <7223 ri>shown > I will do <6213 <asah > : 
but this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > I may <3201 yakol > not 
do <6213 <asah > .  And the messengers <4397 mal>ak > departed 
<3212 yalak > ,  and brought <7725 shuwb > him word <1697 dabar

 : 10 And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > sent <7971 shalach > unto him 
,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  The gods <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 
<asah > so <3541 koh > unto me ,  and more <3254 yacaph > also 
<3541 koh > ,  if the dust <6083 <aphar > of Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > shall suffice <5606 caphaq > for handfuls <8168 
sho<al > for all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that follow 
<7272 regel > me . 

 : 11 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  Tell <1696 
dabar >  [ him ]  ,  Let not him that girdeth <2296 chagar > on  
[ his harness ]  boast <1984 halal > himself as he that putteth 
<6605 pathach > it off . 

 : 12 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when  [ Benhadad ] 
 heard <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > message <1697 dabar > ,  
as he  [ was ]  drinking <8354 shathah > ,  he and the kings 
<4428 melek > in the pavilions <5521 cukkah > ,  that he said 
<0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  Set <7760 suwm

themselves in array ]  against <5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr > 
. 

 : 13 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came <5066 nagash > 
a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > 
great <1419 gadowl > multitude <1995 hamown > ?  behold <2005

yad > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ;  and thou shalt know 
<3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 14 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > ,  By whom 
<4310 miy > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ Even ]  by 
the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the

<4310 miy > shall order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah

 : 15 Then he numbered <6485 paqad > the young <5288 na<ar > men 
of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  
and they were two <8147 sh@nayim > hundred <3967 me>ah > and 
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > two <8147 sh@nayim > : and after 
<0310 >achar > them he numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > 
the people <5971 <am > ,   [ even ]  all <3605 kol > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ being ]  
seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > . 

 : 16 And they went <3318 yatsa> > out at noon <6672 tsohar > .  
But Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad >  [ was ]  drinking <8354 
shathah > himself drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the pavilions <5521 
cukkah > ,  he and the kings <4428 melek > ,  the thirty <7970 
sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > that 
helped <5826 <azar > him . 

 : 17 And the young <5288 na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > 
of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > went <3318 yatsa> > out first 
<7223 ri>shown > ;  and Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > sent <7971 
shalach > out ,  and they told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559

 : 19 So these <0428 >el - leh > young <5288 na<ar > men of the 
princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > came <3318 
yatsa> > out of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and the army <2428 
chayil > which <0834 >aher > followed <0310 >achar > them . 

 : 20 And they slew <5221 nakah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

fled <5127 nuwc > ;  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291 
radaph > them : and Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > the king <4428 
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > escaped <4422 malat > on <5921 
<al > an horse <5483 cuwc > with the horsemen <6571 parash > . 

 : 21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went 
<3318 yatsa> > out ,  and smote <5221 nakah > the horses <5483 
cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and slew <5221 nakah > the 
Syrians <0758 >Aram > with a great <1419 gadowl > slaughter 
<4347 makkah > . 

 : 22 .  And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > to 
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  strengthen <2388 
chazaq > thyself ,  and mark <3045 yada< > ,  and see <7200 
ra>ah > what thou doest <6213 <asah > : for at the return <8666 
t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh > the king <4428 melek > of 
Syria <0758 >Aram > will come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al

 : 23 And the servants <5650 <ebed > of the king <4428 melek > 
of Syria <0758 >Aram > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Their gods 
<0430 >elohiym >  [ are ]  gods <0430 >elohiym > of the hills 
<2022 har > ;  therefore they were stronger <2388 chazaq > than 
we ;  but let us fight <3898 lacham > against them in the plain 
<4334 miyshowr > ,  and surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger 
<2388 chazaq > than they . 

 : 24 And do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ,
  Take <5493 cuwr > the kings <4428 melek > away ,  every <0376

put <7760 suwm > captains <6346 pechah > in their rooms <8478 
tachath > : 

 : 25 And number <4487 manah > thee an army <2428 chayil > ,  
like the army <2428 chayil > that thou hast lost <5307 naphal > ,
  horse <5483 cuwc > for horse <5483 cuwc > ,  and chariot <7393 
rekeb > for chariot <7393 rekeb > : and we will fight <3898 
lacham > against them in the plain <4334 miyshowr > ,   [ and ]  
surely <0518 >im > we shall be stronger <2388 chazaq > than they 
.  And he hearkened <8085 shama< > unto their voice <6963 qowl > 
,  and did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > . 

 : 26 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the return <8666 
t@shuwbah > of the year <8141 shaneh > ,  that Benhadad <1130 
Ben - Hadad > numbered <6485 paqad > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > , 
 and went <5927 <alah > up to Aphek <0663 >Apheq > ,  to fight 
<4421 milchamah > against <5973 <im > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 27 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
were numbered <6485 paqad > ,  and were all present <3557 kuwl > 
,  and went <3212 yalak > against <7125 qir>ah > them : and the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pitched <2583 
chanah > before <5048 neged > them like two <8147 sh@nayim > 
little <2835 chasiph > flocks <2835 chasiph > of kids <5795 <ez

country <0776 >erets > . 

 : 28 And there came <5066 nagash > a man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  and spake <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said ,  Thus <3541 koh

Syrians <0758 >Aram > have said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >  [ is ]  God <0430 >elohiym > of the hills <2022 har > 
,  but he  [ is ]  not God <0430 >elohiym > of the valleys <6010 
<emeq > ,  therefore will I deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol

hand <3027 yad > ,  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am

 : 29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over 
<5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other <0428 >el - leh

  that in the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > day <3117 yowm > the 
battle <4421 milchamah > was joined <7126 qarab > : and the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > slew <5221 nakah

<0505 >eleph > footmen <7273 ragliy > in one <0259 >echad > day 
<3117 yowm > . 

 : 30 But the rest <3498 yathar > fled <5127 nuwc > to Aphek 
<0663 >Apheq > ,  into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ;  and  
[ there ]  a wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon 
twenty <6242 <esriym > and seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 
>eleph > of the men <0376 >iysh >  [ that were ]  left <3498 
yathar > .  And Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > fled <5127 nuwc > , 
 and came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > ,  
into <0413 >el > an inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > .
 

 : 31 .  And his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar > unto 
him ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  we have heard 
<8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > of the house <1004

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will 
save <2421 chayah > thy life <5315 nephesh > . 

 : 32 So they girded <2296 chagar > sackcloth <8242 saq > on 
their loins <4975 mothen > ,  and  [ put ]  ropes <2256 chebel > 
on their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to the 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and said <0559

 : 33 Now the men <0582 >enowsh > did diligently <5172 nachash > 
observe <5172 nachash > whether  [ any thing would come ]  from 
him ,  and did hastily <4116 mahar > catch <2480 chalat >  [ it

Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > .  Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go

<1130 Ben - Hadad > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to 
him ;  and he caused him to come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al

 : 34 And  [ Benhadad ]  said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  The 
cities <5892 <iyr > ,  which <0834 >aher > my father <1> took 
<3947 laqach > from thy father <1> ,  I will restore <7725 shuwb

thee in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  as my father <1> made <7760 
suwm > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .  Then  [ said Ahab ]  ,  I 
will send <7971 shalach > thee away with this covenant <1285 
b@riyth > .  So he made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth

 : 35 And a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > of the sons 
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar > 
unto his neighbour <7453 rea< > in the word <1697 dabar > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > me ,  I pray <4994 
na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > refused <3985 ma>en > to 
smite <5221 nakah > him . 

 : 36 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto him ,  Because thou hast 
not obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  as soon as thou art 
departed <1980 halak > from me ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > shall 
slay <5221 nakah > thee .  And as soon as he was departed <3212 
yalak > from him ,  a lion <0738 >ariy > found <4672 matsa> > 
him ,  and slew <5221 nakah > him . 

 : 37 Then he found <4672 matsa> > another <0312 >acher > man 
<0376 >iysh > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > 
me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee .  And the man <0376 >iysh > smote 
<5221 nakah > him ,  so that in smiting <5221 nakah > he wounded 
<6481 patsa< >  [ him ]  . 

 : 38 So the prophet <5030 nabiy> > departed <3212 yalak > ,  
and waited <5975 <amad > for the king <4428 melek > by the way 
<1870 derek > ,  and disguised <2664 chaphas > himself with 
ashes <0665 >epher > upon his face <5869 <ayin > . 

 : 39 And as the king <4428 melek > passed <5674 <abar > by ,  
he cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the king <4428 melek > : and he 
said <0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <3318 
yatsa> > out into the midst <7130 qereb > of the battle <4421 
milchamah > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a man <0376 >iysh

any means he be missing <6485 paqad > ,  then shall thy life

silver <3701 keceph > . 

 : 40 And as thy servant <5650 <ebed > was busy <6213 <asah > 
here <2008 hennah > and there <2008 hennah > ,  he was gone 
<0369 >ayin > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  So <3651 ken >  [ 
shall ]  thy judgment <4941 mishpat >  [ be ]  ;  thyself hast 
decided <2782 charats >  [ it ]  . 

 : 41 And he hasted <4116 mahar > ,  and took the ashes <0665 
>epher > away <5493 cuwr > from his face <5869 <ayin > ;  and 
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > discerned 
<5234 nakar > him that he  [ was ]  of the prophets <5030 nabiy>

 : 42 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Because <3282 
ya<an > thou hast let go <7971 shalach > out of  [ thy ]  hand 
<3027 yad > a man <0376 >iysh > whom I appointed <2764 cherem > 
to utter destruction <2764 cherem > ,  therefore thy life <5315 
nephesh > shall go <1961 hayah > for his life <5315 nephesh > ,  
and thy people <5971 <am > for his people <5971 <am > . 

 : 43 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went 
<3212 yalak > to his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and 
displeased <2198 za<eph > ,  and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > 
these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,   [ that ]  
Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > had 
<1961 hayah > a vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [

the palace <1964 heykal > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 
melek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > . 

 : 2 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth 
<5022 Nabowth > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Give <5414 nathan > 
me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  that I may have <1961 hayah > 
it for a garden <1588 gan > of herbs <3419 yaraq > ,  because 
<3588 kiy > it  [ is ]  near <7138 qarowb > unto my house <1004 
bayith > : and I will give <5414 nathan > thee for it a better 
<2896 towb > vineyard <3754 kerem > than it ;   [ or <0176 >ow >

give <5414 nathan > thee the worth <4242 m@chiyr > of it in 
money <3701 keceph > . 

 : 3 And Naboth <5022 Nabowth > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > forbid <2486 chaliylah > 
it me ,  that I should give <5414 nathan > the inheritance <5159 
nachalah > of my fathers <1> unto thee . 

 : 4 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > 
his house <1004 bayith > heavy <5620 car > and displeased <2198 
za<eph > because <5921 <al > of the word <1697 dabar > which 
<0834 >aher > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 
Yizr@<e>liy > had spoken <1696 dabar > to him : for he had said 
<0559 >amar > ,  I will not give <5414 nathan > thee the 
inheritance <5159 nachalah > of my fathers <1> .  And he laid 
<7901 shakab > him down <7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah

and would eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > .
 

 : 5 .  But Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > 
came <0935 bow> > to him ,  and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  
Why <4100 mah > is thy spirit <7307 ruwach > so sad <5620 car > ,
  that thou eatest <0398 >akal > no <0369 >ayin > bread <3899 
lechem > ? 

 : 6 And he said <1696 dabar > unto her ,  Because <3588 kiy > I 
spake <1696 dabar > unto Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite 
<3158 Yizr@<e>liy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Give 
<5414 nathan > me thy vineyard <3754 kerem > for money <3701 
keceph > ;  or else ,  if <0518 >im > it please <2655 chaphets > 
thee ,  I will give <5414 nathan > thee  [ another ]  vineyard 
<3754 kerem > for it : and he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I will 
not give <5414 nathan > thee my vineyard <3754 kerem > . 

 : 7 And Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Dost thou now <6258 <attah > govern 
<6213 <asah > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > of Israel <3478

  in the presence <5048 neged > of the people <5971 <am > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Naboth <5022 Nabowth > did blaspheme

Then they carried <3318 yatsa> > him forth <3318 yatsa> > out of 
the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and stoned <5619 caqal > him with 
stones <68> ,  that he died <4191 muwth > .

,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is stoned 
<5619 caqal > ,  and is dead <4191 muwth > . 

 : 15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jezebel <0348

stoned <5619 caqal > ,  and was dead <4191 muwth > ,  that

<0452 >Eliyah > ,  Hast thou found <4672 matsa> > me ,  O mine 
enemy <0341 >oyeb > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  I have

 : 22 And will make <5414 nathan > thine house <1004 bayith > 
like the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the 
son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  and like the house 
<1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of

 : 23 And of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > also <1571 gam > spake 
<1696 dabar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 
 The dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel <0348

Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > stirred <5496

following idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  according to all <3605 kol >  
[ things ]  as did <6213 <asah > the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy > ,

gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together ,  
about four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh

<4421 milchamah > ,  or shall I forbear <2308 chadal > ?  And 
they said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <5927 <alah > up ;  for the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > shall deliver <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  into the 
hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > . 

 : 7 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,   
[ Is there ]  not here <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > besides <5750 <owd > ,  that we might 
enquire <1875 darash > of him ? 

 : 8 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,   [ There 
is ]  yet <3588 kiy > one <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > ,  
Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son <1121 ben > of Imlah <3229 
Yimla> > ,  by whom we may enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > : but I hate <8130 sane> > him ;  for he doth 
not prophesy <5012 naba> > good <2896 towb > concerning <5921

Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,  Let not the king <4428

 : 9 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
called <7121 qara> > an officer <5631 cariyc > ,  and said <0559

Miykay@huw > the son <1121 ben > of Imlah <3229 Yimla> > . 

 : 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > sat <3427 yashab > each <0376 >iysh > on <5921

maqowm > in the entrance <6607 pethach > of the gate <8179 
sha<ar > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ;  and all <3605 kol > the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > before <6440 
paniym > them . 

 : 11 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > made <6213 <asah > him horns <7161 
qeren > of iron <1270 barzel > : and he said <0559 >amar > ,  
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
With these <0428 >el - leh > shalt thou push <5055 nagach > the 
Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  until <5704 <ad > thou have consumed 
<3615 kalah > them . 

 : 12 And all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied 
<5012 naba> > so ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go <5927 <alah > up 
to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ,  and prosper <6743 tsalach > : 
for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan >  [ it

 : 13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone <1980 halak

thy word <1697 dabar > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  be like the 
word <1697 dabar > of one <0259 >echad > of them ,  and speak 
<1696 dabar >  [ that which is ]  good <2896 towb > . 

 : 14 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As

<1696 dabar > . 

 : 15 .  So he came <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek > .  
And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > ,  shall we go <3212 yalak > against

<4428 melek > . 

 : 16 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
How <5704 <ad > many times <6471 pa<am > shall I adjure <7650 
shaba< > thee that thou tell <1696 dabar > me nothing <3808 lo>

 : 17 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I saw <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 
kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > scattered <6327 puwts > upon the 
hills <2022 har > ,  as sheep <6629 tso>n > that have not a

 : 18 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  Did I not 
tell <0559 >amar > thee that he would prophesy <5012 naba> > no 
<3808 lo> > good <2896 towb > concerning <5921 <al > me ,  but 
evil <7451 ra< > ? 

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > thou 
therefore <3651 ken > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > : I saw <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sitting 
<3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > his throne <3678 kicce> > ,  and 
all <3605 kol > the host of heaven <8064 shamayim > standing 
<5975 <amad > by him on his right <3225 yamiyn > hand and on his 
left <8040 s@mo>wl > . 

 : 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  Who 
<4310 miy > shall persuade <6601 pathah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > , 
 that he may go <5927 <alah > up and fall <5307 naphal > at 
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ?  And one said <0559 >amar > on 
this <3541 koh > manner <3541 koh > ,  and another <2088 zeh > 
said <0559 >amar > on that manner <3541 koh > . 

 : 21 And there <8033 sham > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 
yatsa> > a spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > 
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559

 : 22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him , 
 Wherewith <4100 mah > ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  I will go 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and I will be a lying 
<8267 sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of 
all <3605 kol > his prophets <5030 nabiy> > .  And he said <0559

prevail <3201 yakol > also <1571 gam > : go <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > ,  and do <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > . 

 : 23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath put <5414 nathan > a lying <8267 
sheqer > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the mouth <6310 peh > of all 
<3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,
  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > evil 
<7451 ra< > concerning <5921 <al > thee . 

 : 24 But Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Chenaanah <3668 K@na<anah > went <5674 <abar > near <5066 nagash

<al > the cheek <3895 l@chiy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  
Which way <2088 zeh > went <5674 <abar > the Spirit <7307 ruwach

unto thee ? 

 : 25 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,  
Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > in that 
day <3117 yowm > ,  when <0834 >aher > thou shalt go <0935 bow>

<2247 chabah > thyself . 

 : 26 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Take <3947 laqach > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > ,
  and carry <7725 shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > unto Amon <0526

and to Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king s <4428 melek > son <1121 
ben > ; 

 : 27 And say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the king <4428 melek > ,  Put <7760 suwm > this <2088 
zeh >  [ fellow ]  in the prison ,  and feed <0398 >akal > him 
with bread <3899 lechem > of affliction <3905 lachats > and with 
water <4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats > ,  until <5704 
<ad > I come <0935 bow> > in peace <7965 shalowm > . 

 : 28 And Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > said <0559 >amar > ,  If 
<0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > at all in peace <7965 
shalowm > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696

shama< > ,  O people <5971 <am > ,  every <3605 kol > one of you 
. 

 : 29 .  So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
and Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <5927 <alah > up to Ramothgilead 
<7433 Ramowth > . 

 : 30 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  I will 
disguise <2664 chaphas > myself ,  and enter <0935 bow> > into 
the battle <4421 milchamah > ;  but put <3847 labash > thou on 
thy robes <0899 beged > .  And the king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > disguised <2664 chaphas > himself ,  and went 
<0935 bow> > into the battle <4421 milchamah > . 

 : 31 But the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > 
commanded <6680 tsavah > his thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two 
<8147 sh@nayim > captains <8269 sar > that had rule over his 
chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Fight <3898 
lacham > neither <3808 lo> > with small <6996 qatan > nor great 
<1419 gadowl > ,  save only <0905 bad > with the king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 32 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains 
<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > saw <7200 ra>ah > 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  that they said <0559 >amar > 
,  Surely <0389 >ak > it  [ is ]  the king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .  And they turned <5493 cuwr > aside to 
fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > him : and Jehoshaphat 
<3092 Y@howshaphat > cried <2199 za<aq > out . 

 : 33 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the captains 
<8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > perceived <7200 ra>ah

Yisra>el > ,  that they turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > 
from pursuing <0310 >achar > him . 

 : 34 And a  [ certain ]  man <0376 >iysh > drew <4900 mashak > 
a bow <7198 qesheth > at a venture <8537 tom > ,  and smote 
<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
between <0996 beyn > the joints <1694 debeq > of the harness 
<8302 shiryown > : wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the 
driver <7395 rakkab > of his chariot <7395 rakkab > ,  Turn 
<2015 haphak > thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and carry <3318 yatsa>

chalah > . 

 : 35 And the battle <4421 milchamah > increased <5927 <alah > 
that day <3117 yowm > : and the king <4428 melek > was stayed 
<5975 <amad > up in his chariot <4818 merkabah > against <5227 
nokach > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  and died <4191 muwth > at 
even <6153 <ereb > : and the blood <1818 dam > ran <3332 yatsaq 
> out of the wound <4347 makkah > into <0413 >el > the midst 
<2436 cheyq > of the chariot <7393 rekeb > . 

 : 36 And there went <5674 <abar > a proclamation <7440 rinnah > 
throughout the host <4264 machaneh > about the going <0935 bow>

Every man <0376 >iysh > to his city <5892 <iyr > ,  and every 
man <0376 >iysh > to his own country <0776 >erets > . 

 : 37 So the king <4428 melek > died <4191 muwth > ,  and was 
brought <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ;  and they 
buried <6912 qabar > the king <4428 melek > in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > . 

 : 38 And  [ one ]  washed <7857 shataph > the chariot <7393 
rekeb > in the pool <1295 b@rekah > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > 
;  and the dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952 laqaq > up his blood 
<1818 dam > ;  and they washed <7364 rachats > his armour <2185 
zonowth > ;  according unto the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > . 

 : 39 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 
<asah > ,  and the ivory <8127 shen > house <1004 bayith > which 
<0834 >aher > he made <1129 banah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the 
cities <5892 <iyr > that he built <1129 banah > ,   [ are ]  
they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of 
the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ? 

 : 40 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1> ;  and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > . 

 : 41 .  And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben

<al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the fourth <0702 >arba< > year 
<8141 shaneh > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 42 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat >  [ was ]  thirty <7970 
sh@lowshiym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > old 
<1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak > ;  and he 
reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 
chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
.  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem >  [ was ]  
Azubah <5806 <Azuwbah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Shilhi 
<7977 Shilchiy > . 

 : 43 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the ways 
<1870 derek > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > his father <1> ;  he turned 
<5493 cuwr > not aside from it ,  doing <6213 <asah >  [ that 
which was ]  right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : nevertheless <0389 >ak > the high 
<1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > yet <3588 kiy > in the 
high <1116 bamah > places . 

 : 44 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made peace <7999 
shalam > with the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .
 

 : 45 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  and his might <1369 g@buwrah

warred <3898 lacham > ,   [ are ]  they not written <3789 kathab

the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ? 

 : 46 And the remnant <3499 yether > of the sodomites <6945 
qadesh > ,  which remained <7604 sha>ar > in the days <3117 yowm

out of the land <0776 >erets > . 

 : 47  [ There was ]  then no <0369 >ayin > king <4428 melek > 
in Edom <0123 >Edom > : a deputy <5324 natsab >  [ was ]  king 
<4428 melek > . 

 : 48 Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > made <6235 <eser > ships 
<0591 >oniyah > of Tharshish <8659 Tarshiysh > to go <3212 yalak

went <1980 halak > not ;  for the ships <0591 >oniyah > were 
broken <7665 shabar > at Eziongeber <6100 <Etsyown <Etsyon Geber

 : 49 Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Ahaziah <0274

Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > ,  Let my servants <5650 <ebed

<0591 >oniyah > .  But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > would 
<14> not . 

 : 50 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > slept <7901 shakab > 
with his fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > with his 
fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > his 
father <1> : and Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > . 

 : 51 Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the

<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 52 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight 
<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and walked <3212
