 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 >.



 4 And the damsel <5291 na<arah > [was] very <3966 m@<od > 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 > to 
run <7323 ruwts > before <6440 paniym > him.



 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 >achar > Absalom 
<53>.



 7 And he conferred with Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the son <1121 ben > 
of Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah >, and with Abiathar <54> the 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 > and oxen <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 >, 
and the life <5315 nephesh > of thy son <1121 ben > Solomon 
<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 >, 
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 > 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> > 
all <3605 kol > the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben >, 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 > upon my 
throne <3678 kicce> > in my stead <8478 tachath >; even <3588 
kiy > so <3651 ken > will I certainly do <6213 <asah > this 
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 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 >amar 
>, Call <7121 qara> > me 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< >. And they came <0935 bow> > 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 
<1121 ben > to ride <7392 rakab > upon mine own mule <6506 
pirdah >, and bring <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > to 
Gihon <1521 Giychown >:



 34 And let Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and 
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > anoint <4886 
mashach > him there <8033 sham > king <4428 melek > over <5921 
<al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and blow <8628 taqa< > ye with 
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 > him 
to be ruler <5057 nagiyd > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 
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< >,
 and the Cherethites <3746 kariy >, and the Pelethites <6432 
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 >.



 39 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > took 
<3947 laqach > an horn <7161 qeren > of oil <8081 shemen > out 
of the tabernacle <0168 >ohel >, and anointed <4886 mashach > 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >. And they blew <8628 taqa< > the 
trumpet <7782 showphar >; and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 
<am > said <0559 >amar >, God save <2421 chayah > king <4428 
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



 40 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > came <5927 <alah 
> up after <0310 >achar > him, and the people <5971 <am > piped 
<2490 chalal > with pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and rejoiced <8056 
sameach > with great <1419 gadowl > joy <8057 simchah >, so that 
the earth <0776 >erets > rent <1234 baqa< > with the sound <6963 
qowl > of them.



 41. And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > and all <3605 kol > the 
guests <7121 qara> > that [were] with him heard <8085 shama< > 
[it] as they had made an end <3615 kalah > of eating <0398 >akal 
>. And when Joab <3097 Yow>ab > heard <8085 shama< > the sound 
<6963 qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar >, he said <0559 
>amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > [is this] noise <6963 qowl > 
of the city <7151 qiryah > being in an uproar <1993 hamah >?



 42 And while he yet <5750 <owd > spake <1696 dabar >, behold 
<2009 hinneh >, Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the son <1121 ben > 
of Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > came <0935 bow> >: and 
Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, Come 
<0935 bow> > in; for thou [art] a valiant <2428 chayil > man 
<0376 >iysh >, and bringest <1319 basar > good <2896 towb > 
tidings <1319 basar >.



 43 And Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > answered <6030 <anah > and 
said <0559 >amar > to Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah >, Verily <61> 
our lord <0113 >adown > king <4427 malak > David <1732 David > 
hath made Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > king <4427 malak >.



 44 And the king <4428 melek > hath sent <7971 shalach > with 
him 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< >, and 
the Cherethites <3774 K@rethiy >, and the Pelethites <6432 
P@lethiy >, and they have caused him to ride <7392 rakab > upon 
the king's <4428 melek > mule <6506 pirdah >:



 45 And Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > and 
Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > have anointed 
<4886 mashach > him king <4428 melek > in Gihon <1521 Giychown >:
 and they are come <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > 
rejoicing <8056 sameach >, so that the city <7151 qiryah > rang 
<1949 huwm > again. This <1931 huw> > [is] the noise <6963 qowl 
> that ye have heard <8085 shama< >.



 46 And also <1571 gam > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sitteth <3427 
yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the kingdom 
<4410 m@luwkah >.



 47 And moreover <1571 gam > the king's <4428 melek > servants 
<5650 <ebed > came <0935 bow> > to bless <1288 barak > our lord 
<0113 >adown > king <4428 melek > David <1732 David >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, God <0430 >elohiym > make the name <8034 shem > 
of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > better <3190 yatab > than thy name 
<8034 shem >, and make his throne <3678 kicce> > greater than 
thy throne <3678 kicce> >. And the king <4428 melek > bowed 
<7812 shachah > himself upon the bed <4904 mishkab >.



 48 And also <1571 gam > thus <3602 kakah > said <0559 >amar > 
the king <4428 melek >, Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, 
which <0834 >aher > hath given <5414 nathan > [one] to sit <3427 
yashab > on <5921 <al > my throne <3678 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

naphal > to the earth <0776 >erets >: but if <0518 >im > 
wickedness <7451 ra< > shall be found <4672 matsa> > in 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 > 
from the altar <4196 mizbeach >. And he came <7126 qarab > 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 > his 
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, and his commandments <4687 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 >, 
there shall not fail <3772 karath > thee (said he) a 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 >, 
which <1931 huw> > cursed <7043 qalal > me with a grievous <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 >: for thou [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 > with blood 
<1818 dam >.



 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 >.
 And she said <0559 >amar >, Comest <0935 bow> > thou 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> >. 
And he said <0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but I will 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 > said <1696 
dabar > Joab <3097 Yow>ab >, and 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>

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 > 
unto him, Build <1129 banah > thee an house <1004 bayith > 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 > days <3117 yowm

 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 
> ran <1272 barach > away unto Achish <0397 >Akiysh > son <1121 
ben > of Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > king <4428 melek > of Gath 
<1661 Gath >. And they told <5046 nagad > Shimei <8096 Shim<iy >,
 saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thy 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 > 
unto him, Did I not make thee to swear <7650 shaba< > by the 
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

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 > 
with Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >, and took <3947 laqach > Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > 
daughter <1323 bath >, and brought <0935 bow> > her into <0413

<ad > he had made an end <3615 kalah > of building <1129 banah > 
his own house <1004 bayith >, and the house <1004 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 > unto 
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 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 > said 
<0559 >amar >, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I 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 checed >, 
according as he walked <1980 halak > before <6440 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 >, that thou hast 
given <5414 nathan > him a son <1121 ben > 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 > my father 
<1>: and I [am but] a little <6996 qatan > 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

for who <4310 miy > is able <3201 yakol > to judge <8199 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>

after <0310 >achar > thee shall any arise <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

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 >echad

child <3205 yalad > with her in the house <1004 bayith >.



 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

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 >, No <3808 
lo> >; but the dead <4191 muwth > [is] thy son <1121 ben >, and 
the living <2416 chay > [is] my son <1121 ben >. Thus they spake 
<1696 dabar > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.



 23 Then said <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, The one 
<2063 zo>th > saith <0559 >amar >, This <2063 zo>th > [is] my 
son <1121 ben > that liveth <2416 chay >, and thy son <1121 ben

<0559 >amar >, Nay <3808 lo> >; but thy son <1121 ben > [is] the 
dead <4191 muwth >, and my son <1121 ben > [is] the living <2416 
chay >.



 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 <0408 >al

<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 <4191 muwth

 28 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > heard <8085 
shama< > of the judgment <4941 mishpat > which <0834 >aher > the 
king <4428 melek > had judged <8199 shaphat >; and they feared 
<3372 yare> > the king <4428 melek >: for they saw <7200 ra>ah > 
that the wisdom <2451 chokmah > of God <0430 >elohiym > [was] in 
him, to do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat >.

1Kings 5



 1. And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > king <4428 melek > of Tyre <6865 
Tsor > sent <7971 shalach > his servants <5650 <ebed > unto 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >; for he had <1961 hayah > heard <8085 
shama< > that they had <1961 hayah > anointed <4886 mashach > 
him king <4428 melek > in the room <8478 tachath > of his father 
<1>: for Hiram <2438 Chiyram > was ever a lover <0157 >ahab > of 
David <1732 David >.



 2 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > to Hiram 
<2438 Chiyram >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 3 Thou knowest <3045 yada< > how that David <1732 David > my 
father <1> could <3201 yakol > not build <1129 banah > an house 
<1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > for the wars <4421 milchamah

<5437 cabab > side, until <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
put <5414 nathan > them under <8478 tachath > the soles <3709 
kaph > of his feet <7272 regel >.



 4 But now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 
>elohiym > hath given me rest <5117 nuwach > on every <5437 
cabab > side <5439 cabiyb >, [so that there is] neither <0369 
>ayin > adversary <7854 satan > nor <0369 >ayin > evil <7451 ra<

 5 And, behold <2005 hen >, I purpose <0559 >amar > to build 
<1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto the name <8034 shem > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym >, as the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > unto David <1732 David > my 
father <1>, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy son <1121 ben >, whom 
<0834 >aher > I will set <5414 nathan > upon thy throne <3678 
kicce> > in thy room <8478 tachath >, he shall build <1129 banah 
> an house <1004 bayith > unto my name <8034 shem >.



 6 Now <6258 <attah > therefore command <6680 tsavah > thou that 
they hew <3772 karath > me cedar <0730 >erez > trees out of 
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; and my servants <5650 <ebed > shall be 
with thy servants <5650 <ebed >: and unto thee will I give <5414 
nathan > hire <7939 sakar > for thy servants <5650 <ebed > 
according to all <3605 kol > that thou shalt appoint <0559 >amar 
>: for thou knowest <3045 yada< > that [there is] not among us 
any <0376 >iysh > that can skill <3045 yada< > to hew <3772 
karath > timber <6086 <ets > like unto the Sidonians <6722 
Tsiydoniy >.



 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Hiram <2438 Chiyram > 
heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh >, that he rejoiced <8055 samach > greatly <3966 m@<od

<3068 Y@hovah > this day <3117 yowm >, which <0834 >aher > hath 
given <5414 nathan > unto David <1732 David > a wise <2450 
chakam > son <1121 ben > over <5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > great 
<7227 rab > people <5971 <am >.



 8 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh >, saying <0559 >amar >, I have considered <8085 
shama< > the things which <0834 >aher > thou sentest <7971 
shalach > to me for: [and] I will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol

cedar <0730 >erez >, and concerning timber <6086 <ets > of fir 
<1265 b@rowsh >.



 9 My servants <5650 <ebed > shall bring <3381 yarad > [them] 
down <3381 yarad > from Lebanon <3844 L@banown > unto the sea 
<3220 yam >: and I will convey <7760 suwm > them by sea <3220 
yam > in floats <1702 dob@rah > unto the place <4725 maqowm > 
that thou shalt appoint <7971 shalach > me, and will cause them 
to be discharged <5310 naphats > there <8033 sham >, and 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 >.



 10. So Hiram <2438 Chiyram > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > cedar <0730 >erez > trees <6086 <ets > and fir <1265 
b@rowsh > trees <6086 <ets > [according to] all <3605 kol > his 
desire <2656 chephets >.



 11 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan > Hiram <2438 
Chiyram > twenty <6242 <esriym > thousand <0505 >eleph > 
measures <3734 kor > of wheat <2406 chittah > [for] food <4361 
makkoleth > to his household <1004 bayith >, and twenty <6242 
<esriym > measures <3734 kor > of pure <3795 kathiyth > oil 
<8081 shemen >: thus <3541 koh > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > to Hiram <2438 Chiyram > year <8141 shaneh > by 
year <8141 shaneh >.



 12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > wisdom <2451 chokmah >, as he promised <1696 
dabar > him: and there was peace <7965 shalowm > between <0996 
beyn > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >; and 
they two <8147 sh@nayim > made <3772 karath > a league <1285 
b@riyth > together.



 13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927 
<alah > a levy <4522 mac > out of all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >; and the levy <4522 mac > was thirty <7970 
sh@lowshiym > thousand <0505 >eleph > men <0376 >iysh >.



 14 And he sent <7971 shalach > them to Lebanon <3844 L@banown >,
 ten <6235 <eser > thousand <0505 >eleph > a month <2320 chodesh

were in Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, [and] two <8147 sh@nayim > 
months <2320 chodesh > at home <1004 bayith >: and Adoniram 
<0141 >Adoniyram > [was] over <5921 <al > the levy <4522 mac >.



 15 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah > threescore

<5375 nasa> > burdens <5449 cabbal >, and fourscore <8084 
sh@moniym > thousand <0505 >eleph > hewers <2672 chatsab > in 
the mountains <2022 har >;



 16 Beside <0905 bad > the chief <8269 sar > of Solomon's <8010 
Sh@lomoh > officers <5324 natsab > which <0834 >aher > [were] 
over <5921 <al > the work <4399 m@la>kah >, three <7969 shalowsh

<3967 me>ah >, which ruled <7287 radah > over the people <5971 
<am > that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah >.



 17 And the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >, and 
they brought <5265 naca< > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68>, 
costly <3368 yaqar > stones <68>, [and] hewed <1496 gaziyth > 
stones <68>, to lay the foundation <3245 yacad > of the house 
<1004 bayith >.



 18 And Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > builders <1129 banah > and 
Hiram's <2438 Chiyram > builders <1129 banah > did hew <6458 
pacal > [them], and the stonesquarers <1382 Gibliy >: so they 
prepared <3559 kuwn > timber <6086 <ets > and stones <68> to 
build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >.



1Kings 6



 1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the four <0702 >arba< > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > and eightieth <8084 sh@moniym > year <8141 
shaneh > after the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, in the month <2320 
chodesh > Zif <2099 Ziv >, which <1931 huw> > [is] the second 
<8145 sheniy > month <2320 chodesh >, that he began to build 
<1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 2 And the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > king <4428 
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > for the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was] 
threescore <8346 shishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the 
breadth <7341 rochab > thereof twenty <6242 <esriym > [cubits], 
and the height <6967 qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > 
cubits <0520 >ammah >.



 3 And the porch <0197 >uwlam > before the temple <1964 heykal > 
of the house <1004 bayith >, twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 
>ammah > [was] the length <0753 >orek > thereof, according to 
the breadth <7341 rochab > of the house <1004 bayith >; [and] 
ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the breadth <7341 
rochab > thereof before the house <1004 bayith >.



 4 And for the house <1004 bayith > he made <6213 <asah > 
windows <2474 challown > of narrow <0331 >atam > lights <8261 
shaquph >.



 5 And against <5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > of the house 
<1004 bayith > he built <1129 banah > chambers <3326 yatsuwa< > 
round <5439 cabiyb > about, [against] the walls <7023 qiyr > of 
the house <1004 bayith > round <5439 cabiyb > about, [both] of 
the temple <1964 heykal > and of the oracle <1687 d@biyr >: and 
he made <6213 <asah > chambers <6763 tsela< > round <5439 cabiyb

 6 The nethermost <8481 tachtown > chamber <3326 yatsuwa< > 
[was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > broad <7341 
rochab >, and the middle <8484 tiykown > [was] six <8337 shesh > 
cubits <0520 >ammah > broad <7341 rochab >, and the third <7992 
sh@liyshiy > [was] seven <7651 sheba< > cubits <0520 >ammah > 
broad <7341 rochab >: for without <2351 chuwts > [in the wall] 
of the house <1004 bayith > he made <5414 nathan > narrowed 
<4052 migra<ah > rests round <5439 cabiyb > about, that [the 
beams] should not be fastened <0270 >achaz > in the walls <7023 
qiyr > of the house <1004 bayith >.



 7 And the house <1004 bayith >, when it was in building <1129 
banah >, was built <1129 banah > of stone <68> made ready <8003 
shalem > before <4551 macca< > it was brought <4551 macca< > 
thither: so that there was neither <3808 lo> > hammer <4717

<3627 k@liy > of iron <1270 barzel > heard <8085 shama< > in the 
house <1004 bayith >, while it was in building <1129 banah >.



 8 The door <6907 qubba<ath > for the middle <8484 tiykown > 
chamber <6763 tsela< > [was] in the right <3233 y@maniy > side 
<3802 katheph > of the house <1004 bayith >: and they went <5927

middle <8484 tiykown > into <0413 >el > the third <7992

 9 So he built <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith >, and 
finished <3615 kalah > it; and covered <5603 caphan > the house 
<1004 bayith > with beams <1356 geb > and boards <7713 s@derah > 
of cedar <0730 >erez >.



 10 And [then] he built <1129 banah > chambers <3326 yatsuwa< > 
against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith >, 
five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah >: 
and they rested <0270 >achaz > on the house <1004 bayith > 
[with] timber <6086 <ets > of cedar <0730 >erez >.



 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

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

built <1129 banah > [them] for it within <1004 bayith >, [even] 
for the oracle <1687 d@biyr >, [even] for the most <6944 qodesh

 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 <6441 p@niymah > [was] carved <4734 miqla<ath > with 
knops <6497 peqa< > and open <6358 patuwr > flowers <6731 tsiyts

 19 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > he prepared <3559 kuwn > in 
the house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah >, to set <5414 
nathan > there <8033 sham > the ark <0727 >arown > of the

 20 And the oracle <1687 d@biyr > in the forepart <6440 paniym > 
[was] twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 >ammah > in length 
<0753 >orek >, and twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 >ammah > 
in breadth <7341 rochab >, and twenty <6242 <esriym > 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 
> by the chains <7569 rattowq > of gold <2091 zahab > before 
<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 other <8145 
sheniy > wing <3671 kanaph > of the cherub <3742 k@ruwb >: from 
the uttermost <7098 qatsah > part of the one 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] ten 
<6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah >: both <8147 sh@nayim > the 
cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > [were] of one <0259 >echad > measure 
<4060 middah > and one <0259 >echad > size <7095 qetseb >.



 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 >; and their wings 
<3671 kanaph > touched <5060 naga< > one <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 > 
with gold <2091 zahab >.



 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 > [and] 
side posts <4201 m@zuwzah > [were] a fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > 
part [of the wall].



 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 <3742 
k@ruwb > and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr > 
flowers <6731 tsiyts >, and overlaid <6823 tsaphah > [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.



 33 So <3651 ken > also made <6213 <asah > he for the door <6907 
qubba<ath > of the temple <1964 heykal > posts <4201 m@zuwzah > 
[of] olive <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets >, a fourth <7243 
r@biy<iy > part [of the wall].



 34 And the two <8147 sh@nayim > doors <1817 deleth > [were of] 
fir <1265 b@rowsh > tree <6086 <ets >: the two <8147 sh@nayim > 
leaves <6763 tsela< > of the one <0259 >echad > door <1817 
deleth > [were] folding <1550 galiyl >, and the two <8147 
sh@nayim > leaves <7050 qela< > of the other <8145 sheniy > door 
<1817 deleth > [were] folding <1550 galiyl >.



 35 And he carved <7049 qala< > [thereon] cherubims <3742 k@ruwb 
> and palm <8561 timmor > trees and open <6358 patuwr > flowers 
<6731 tsiyts >: and covered <6823 tsaphah > [them] with gold 
<2091 zahab > fitted <3474 yashar > upon the carved <2707 chaqah 
> work.



 36 And he built <1129 banah > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > 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 <3391 
yerach > Bul <0945 Buwl >, which <1931 huw> > [is] the eighth 
<8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, was the house <1004 
bayith > finished <3615 kalah > throughout all <3605 kol > the 
parts <1697 dabar > thereof, and according <5921 <al > to all 
<3605 kol > the fashion <4941 mishpat > of it. So was he seven 
<7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > in building <1129 banah > it.



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 
<0520 >ammah >, and the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof fifty 
<2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the height <6967 
qowmah > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah

>erez > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, with cedar <0730 >erez > beams 
<3773 karuthah > upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >.



 3 And [it was] covered <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez > 
above <4605 ma<al > upon the beams <6763 tsela< >, that [lay] on 
forty <0705 >arba<iym > five <2568 chamesh > pillars <5982 
<ammuwd >, fifteen <6240 <asar > [in] a row <2905 tuwr >.



 4 And [there were] windows <8261 shaquph > [in] three <7969 
shalowsh > rows <2905 tuwr >, and light <4237 mechezah > [was] 
against <0413 >el > light <4237 mechezah > [in] three <7969 
shalowsh > ranks <6471 pa<am >.



 5 And all <3605 kol > the doors <6607 pethach > and posts <4201 
m@zuwzah > [were] square <7251 raba< >, with the windows <8260 
sheqeph >: and light <4237 mechezah > [was] against light <0216 
>owr > [in] three <7969 shalowsh > ranks <6471 pa<am >.



 6 And he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > of pillars 
<5982 <ammuwd >; the length <0753 >orek > thereof [was] fifty 
<2572 chamishshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the breadth 
<7341 rochab > thereof thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 
>ammah >: and the porch <0197 >uwlam > [was] before them: and 
the [other] pillars <5982 <ammuwd > and the thick beam <5646 <ab 
> [were] before them.



 7 Then he made <6213 <asah > a porch <0197 >uwlam > for the 
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 > from 
one side of the floor <7172 qarqa< > to the other.



 8 And his house <1004 bayith > where he dwelt <3427 yashab > 
[had] another <0312 >acher > court <2691 chatser > within <1004 
bayith > the porch <0197 >uwlam >, [which] was of the like work 
<4649 Muppiym >. Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > 
also an house <1004 bayith > for Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > 
daughter <1323 bath >, whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961 hayah > 
taken <3947 laqach > [to wife], like unto this <2088 zeh > porch 
<0197 >uwlam >.



 9 All <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [were of] costly <3368 
yaqar > stones <68>, according to the measures <4060 middah > of 
hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >, sawed <1641 garar

<2351 chuwts >, even from the foundation <4527 maccad > unto the 
coping <2947 tephach >, and [so] on <5704 <ad > the outside 
<2351 chuwts > toward <5704 <ad > the great <1419 gadowl > court 
<2691 chatser >.



 10 And the foundation <3245 yacad > [was of] costly <3368 yaqar

<68> of ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and stones <68> 
of eight <8083 sh@moneh > cubits <0520 >ammah >.



 11 And above <4605 ma<al > [were] costly <3368 yaqar > stones 
<68>, after the measures <4060 middah > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > 
stones <1496 gaziyth >, and cedars <0730 >erez >.



 12 And the great <1419 gadowl > court <2691 chatser > round 
<5439 cabiyb > about [was] with three <7969 shalowsh > rows 
<2905 tuwr > of hewed <1496 gaziyth > stones <1496 gaziyth >, 
and a row <2905 tuwr > of cedar <0730 >erez > beams <3773 
karuthah >, both for the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court <2691 
chatser > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
>, and for the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the house <1004 bayith >.



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



 14 He [was] a widow's <0490 >almanah > son <1121 ben > of the 
tribe <4294 matteh > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >, and his 
father <1> [was] a man <0376 >iysh > of Tyre <6876 Tsoriy >, a 
worker <2790 charash > in brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and he was 
filled <4390 male> > with wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and 
understanding <8394 tabuwn >, and cunning <1847 da<ath > to work 
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > works <4399 m@la>kah > in brass 
<5178 n@chosheth >. And he came <0935 bow> > to king <4428 melek 
> Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and wrought <6213 <asah > all <3605 
kol > his work <4399 m@la>kah >.



 15 For he cast <6696 tsuwr > two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 
<ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >, of eighteen cubits <0520 
>ammah > high <6967 qowmah > apiece <0259 >echad >: and a line 
<2339 chuwt > of twelve cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 
cabab > either <8145 sheniy > of them about <5437 cabab >.



 16 And he made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > chapiters 
<3805 kothereth > [of] molten <3332 yatsaq > brass <5178 
n@chosheth >, to set <5414 nathan > upon the tops <7218 ro>sh > 
of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >: the height <6967 qowmah > of the 
one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] five <2568 
chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >, and the height <6967 qowmah > 
of the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] 
five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >:



 17 [And] nets <7638 sabak > of checker <7639 s@bakah > work 
<4639 ma<aseh >, and wreaths <1434 g@dil > of chain <8333 
sharah@rah > work <4639 ma<aseh >, for the chapiters <3805 
kothereth > which <0834 >aher > [were] upon the top <7218 ro>sh

one <0259 >echad > chapiter <3805 kothereth >, and seven <7651 
sheba< > for the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth >.



 18 And he made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, and 
two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > round <5439 cabiyb > 
about upon the one <0259 >echad > network <7639 s@bakah >, to 
cover <3680 kacah > the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [were] 
upon the top <7218 ro>sh >, with pomegranates <7416 rimmown >: 
and so <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for the other <8145 
sheniy > chapiter <3805 kothereth >.



 19 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that [were] upon the top 
<7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [were] of lily 
<7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh > in the porch <0197 >uwlam 
>, four <0702 >arba< > cubits <0520 >ammah >.



 20 And the chapiters <3805 kothereth > upon the two <8147 
sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd > [had pomegranates] also <1571 
gam > above <4605 ma<al >, over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 
<ummah > the belly <0990 beten > which <0834 >aher > [was] by 
the network <7639 s@bakah >: and the pomegranates <7416 rimmown

<5439 cabiyb > about upon the other <8145 sheniy > chapiter 
<3805 kothereth >.



 21 And he set <6965 quwm > up the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > in 
the porch <0197 >uwlam > of the temple <1964 heykal >: and he 
set <6965 quwm > up the right <3225 yamiyn > pillar <5982 
<ammuwd >, and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > 
thereof Jachin <3199 Yakiyn >: and he set <6965 quwm > up the 
left <8042 s@ma>liy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and called <7121 
qara> > the name <8034 shem > thereof Boaz <1162 Bo<az >.



 22 And upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd 
> [was] lily <7799 shuwshan > work <4639 ma<aseh >: so was the 
work <4399 m@la>kah > of the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > finished 
<8552 tamam >.



 23 And he made <6213 <asah > a molten <3332 yatsaq > sea <3220 
yam >, ten <6235 <eser > cubits <0520 >ammah > from the one brim 
<8193 saphah > to the other: [it was] round <5696 <agol > all 
about, and his height <6967 qowmah > [was] five <2568 chamesh > 
cubits <0520 >ammah >: and a line <6957 qav > of thirty <7970 
sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 cabab > it 
round <5439 cabiyb > about.



 24 And under <8478 tachath > the brim <8193 saphah > of it 
round <5439 cabiyb > about [there were] knops <6497 peqa< > 
compassing <5437 cabab > it, ten <6235 <eser > in a cubit <0520 
>ammah >, compassing <5362 naqaph > the sea <3220 yam > round 
<5439 cabiyb > about: the knops <6497 peqa< > [were] 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 >, three 
<7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the north <6828 
tsaphown >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > 
toward the west <3220 yam >, and three <7969 shalowsh > looking 
<6437 panah > toward the south <5045 negeb >, and three <7969 
shalowsh > looking <6437 panah > toward the east <4217 mizrach >:
 and the sea <3220 yam > [was set] above <4605 ma<al > upon them,
 and all <3605 kol > their hinder <0268 >achowr > parts [were] 
inward <1004 bayith >.





 26 And it [was] an hand <2947 tephach > breadth <2947 tephach > 
thick <5672 <abiy >, and the brim <8193 saphah > thereof was 
wrought <4639 ma<aseh > like the brim <8193 saphah > of a cup 
<3563 kowc >, with flowers <6525 perach > of lilies <7799 
shuwshan >: it contained <3557 kuwl > two thousand <0505 >eleph 
> baths <1324 bath >.



 27 And he made <6213 <asah > ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350 
m@kownah > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >; four <0702 >arba< > 
cubits <0520 >ammah > [was] the length <0753 >orek > of one 
<0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah >, and four <0702 >arba< > 
cubits <0520 >ammah > the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof, and 
three <7969 shalowsh > cubits <0520 >ammah > the height <6967 
qowmah > of it.





 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] between 
<0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab >:



 29 And on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 micgereth > that [were] 
between <0996 beyn > the ledges <7948 shalab > [were] lions 
<0738 >ariy >, oxen <1241 baqar >, and cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >: 
and upon the ledges <7948 shalab > [there was] a base <3653 ken

<0738 >ariy > and oxen <1241 baqar > [were] certain additions 
<3914 loyah > made <6213 <asah > of thin <4174 mowrad > work 
<4639 ma<aseh >.





 30 And every <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah > had four 
<0702 >arba< > brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wheels <0212 >owphan >, 
and plates <5633 ceren > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >: and the 
four <0702 >arba< > corners <6471 pa<am > thereof had 
undersetters <3802 katheph >: under <8478 tachath > the laver 
<3595 kiyowr > [were] undersetters <3802 katheph > molten <3332 
yatsaq >, at the side <5676 <eber > of every <0376 >iysh > 
addition <3914 loyah >.



 31 And the mouth <6310 peh > of it within <1004 bayith > the 
chapiter <3805 kothereth > and above <4605 ma<al > [was] a cubit 
<0520 >ammah >: but the mouth <6310 peh > thereof [was] round 
<5696 <agol > [after] the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the base <3653

also <1571 gam > upon the mouth <6310 peh > of it [were] 
gravings with their borders <4526 micgereth >, foursquare <7251 
raba< >, not round <5696 <agol >.



 32 And under <8478 tachath > the borders <4526 micgereth > 
[were] four <0702 >arba< > wheels <0212 >owphan >; and the 
axletrees <3027 yad > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > [were 
joined] to the base <4350 m@kownah >: and the height <6967 
qowmah > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > [was] a cubit <0520 >ammah > 
and half <2677 chetsiy > a cubit <0520 >ammah >.



 33 And the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > 
[was] like the work <4639 ma<aseh > of a chariot <4818 merkabah

naves <1354 gab >, and their felloes <2839 chishshuq >, and 
their spokes <2840 chishshur >, [were] all <3605 kol > molten 
<3332 yatsaq >.



 34 And [there were] four <0702 >arba< > undersetters <3802 
katheph > to the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6438 pinnah > of 
one <0259 >echad > base <4350 m@kownah >: [and] the 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

 36 For on <5921 <al > the plates <3871 luwach > of the ledges 
<3027 yad > thereof, and on <5921 <al > the borders <4526 
micgereth > thereof, he graved <6605 pathach > cherubims <3742 
k@ruwb >, lions <0738 >ariy >, and palm <8561 timmor > trees, 
according to the proportion <4626 ma<ar > of every <0376 >iysh > 
one <0376 >iysh >, and additions <3914 loyah > round <5439 
cabiyb > about.



 37 After this <2063 zo>th > [manner] he made <6213 <asah > the 
ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350 m@kownah >: all <3605 kol > of 
them had one <0259 >echad > casting <4165 muwtsaq >, one <0259

<7095 qetseb >.



 38 Then made <6213 <asah > he ten <6235 <eser > lavers <3595 
kiyowr > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >: one <0259 >echad > laver 
<3595 kiyowr > contained <3557 kuwl > forty <0705 >arba<iym > 
baths <1324 bath >: [and] every <0259 >echad > laver <3595 
kiyowr > was four <0702 >arba< > cubits <0520 >ammah >: [and] 
upon every one <0259 >echad > of the ten <6235 <eser > bases 
<4350 m@kownah > one <0259 >echad > laver <3595 kiyowr >.



 39 And he put <5414 nathan > five <2568 chamesh > bases <4350 
m@kownah > on <5921 <al > the right <3225 yamiyn > side <3802 
katheph > of the house <1004 bayith >, and five <2568 chamesh > 
on <5921 <al > the left <8040 s@mo>wl > side <3802 katheph > of 
the house <1004 bayith >: and he set <5414 nathan > the sea 
<3220 yam > on the right <3233 y@maniy > side <3802 katheph > of 
the house <1004 bayith > eastward <6924 qedem > over <4136 muwl

 40 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > made <6213 <asah > the lavers 
<3595 kiyowr >, and the shovels <3257 ya< >, and the basons 
<4219 mizraq >. So Hiram <2438 Chiyram > made <6213 <asah > an 
end <3615 kalah > of doing <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > the 
work <4399 m@la>kah > that he made <6213 <asah > king <4428

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:



 41 The two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, and the

<3805 kothereth > that [were] on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh

 42 And four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > pomegranates 
<7416 rimmown > for the two <8147 sh@nayim > networks <7639

bowls <1543 gullah > of the chapiters <3805 kothereth > that 
[were] upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >;



 43 And the ten <6235 <eser > bases <4350 m@kownah >, and ten 
<6235 <eser > lavers <3595 kiyowr > on <5921 <al > the bases 
<4350 m@kownah >;



 44 And one <0259 >echad > sea <3220 yam >, and twelve oxen 
<1241 baqar > under <8478 tachath > the sea <3220 yam >;



 45 And the pots <5518 ciyr >, and the shovels <3257 ya< >, and 
the basons <4219 mizraq >: and all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-

Y@hovah >, [were of] bright <4803 marat > brass <5178 n@chosheth

 46 In the plain <3603 kikkar > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > did the 
king <4428 melek > cast <3332 yatsaq > them, in the clay <4568 
ma<abeh > ground <0127 >adamah > between <0996 beyn > Succoth 
<5523 Cukkowth > and Zarthan.



 47 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > left <3240 yanach > all <3605 
kol > the vessels <3627 k@liy > [unweighed], because they were 
exceeding <3966 m@<od > many <7230 rob >: neither <3808 lo> > 
was the weight <4948 mishqal > of the brass <5178 n@chosheth > 
found <2713 chaqar > out.



 48. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > all <3605 
kol > the vessels <3627 k@liy > that [pertained] unto the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the altar <4196 
mizbeach > of gold <2091 zahab >, and the table <7979 shulchan > 
of gold <2091 zahab >, whereupon the shewbread [was],



 49 And the candlesticks <4501 m@nowrah > of pure <5462 cagar > 
gold <2091 zahab >, five <2568 chamesh > on the right <3225 
yamiyn > [side], and five <2568 chamesh > on the left <8040

the flowers <6525 perach >, and the lamps <5216 niyr >, and the 
tongs <4457 melqach > [of] gold <2091 zahab >,



 50 And the bowls <5592 caph >, and the snuffers <4212 
m@zamm@rah >, and the basons <4219 mizraq >, and the spoons 
<3709 kaph >, and the censers <4289 machtah > [of] pure <5462

gold <2091 zahab >, [both] for the doors <1817 deleth > of the

<1964 heykal >.



 51 So was ended <7999 shalam > all <3605 kol > the work <4399 
m@la>kah > that king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made 
<6213 <asah > for the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

the things which David <1732 David > his father <1> had 
dedicated <6944 qodesh >; [even <0853 >eth >] the silver <3701 
keceph >, and the gold <2091 zahab >, and the vessels <3627

1Kings 8



 1. Then <0227 >az > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > assembled <6950 
qahal > the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and 
all <3605 kol > the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the tribes <4294

melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > out 
of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >, which <1958 hiy

 2 And all <3605 kol > the men <0376 >iysh > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > assembled <6950 qahal > themselves unto king <4428 
melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > at the feast <2282 chag > in 
the month <3391 yerach > Ethanim <0388 >Eythaniym >, which <1931

 3 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > came <0935 bow> >, and the priests <3548 kohen > took 
<5375 nasa> > up the ark <0727 >arown >.



 4 And they brought <5927 <alah > up the ark <0727 >arown > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of 
the congregation <4150 mow<ed >, and all <3605 kol > the holy

tabernacle <0168 >ohel >, even those did the priests <3548 kohen

 5 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all 
<3605 kol > the congregation <5712 <edah > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, that were assembled <3259 ya<ad > unto him, [were] 
with him before <6440 paniym > the ark <0727 >arown >, 
sacrificing <2076 zabach > sheep <6629 tso>n > and oxen <1241 
baqar >, that could not be told <5608 caphar > nor <3808 lo> > 
numbered <4487 manah > for multitude <7230 rob >.



 6 And the priests <3548 kohen > brought <0935 bow> > in the ark 
<0727 >arown > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > unto his place <4725 maqowm >, into <0413 >el > the 
oracle <1687 d@biyr > of the house <1004 bayith >, to the most 
<6944 qodesh > holy <6944 qodesh > [place, even] under the wings 
<3671 kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >.



 7 For the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > spread <6566 paras > forth 
[their] two wings <3671 kanaph > over <0413 >el > the place 
<4725 maqowm > of the ark <0727 >arown >, and the cherubims 
<3742 k@ruwb > covered <5526 cakak > the ark <0727 >arown > and 
the staves <0905 bad > thereof above <4605 ma<al >.



 8 And they drew <0748 >arak > out the staves <0905 bad >, that 
the ends <7218 ro>sh > of the staves <0905 bad > were seen <7200 
ra>ah > out in the holy <6944 qodesh > [place] before the oracle

 9 [There was] nothing <0369 >ayin > in the ark <0727 >arown > 
save <7535 raq > the two <8147 sh@nayim > tables <3871 luwach > 
of stone <68>, which <0834 >aher > Moses <4872 Mosheh > put 
<3240 yanach > there <8033 sham > at Horeb <2722 Choreb >, when

of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.



 10 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the priests <3548 
kohen > were come <3318 yatsa> > out of the holy <6944 qodesh > 
[place], that the cloud <6051 <anan > filled <4390 male> > the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,



 11 So that the priests <3548 kohen > could <3201 yakol > not 
stand <5975 <amad > to minister <8334 sharath > because <6440 
paniym > of the cloud <6051 <anan >: for the glory <3519 kabowd

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 12. Then <0227 >az > spake <0559 >amar > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

dwell <7931 shakan > in the thick darkness <6205 <araphel >.



 13 I have surely <0403 >aken > built <1129 banah > thee an 
house <1004 bayith > to dwell <2073 z@buwl > in, a settled <4349 
makown > place for thee to abide <3427 yashab > in for ever 
<5769 <owlam >.



 14 And the king <4428 melek > turned <5437 cabab > his face 
<6440 paniym > about, and blessed <1288 barak > all <3605 kol > 
the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: (and 
all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > stood <5975 <amad >;)



 15 And he said <0559 >amar >, Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > with his 
mouth <6310 peh > unto David <1732 David > my father <1>, and 
hath with his hand <3027 yad > fulfilled <4390 male> > [it], 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 16 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, I chose <0977 bachar

tribes <7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to build <1129 
banah > an house <1004 bayith >, that my name <8034 shem > might 
be therein <8033 sham >; but I chose <0977 bachar > David <1732 
David > to be over <5921 <al > my people <5971 <am > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >.





 17 And it was in the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David > 
my father <1> to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for 
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.





 18 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto David 
<1732 David > my father <1>, Whereas it was in thine heart <3824 
lebab > to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > unto my 
name <8034 shem >, thou didst well <3190 yatab > that it was in 
thine heart <3824 lebab >.



 19 Nevertheless <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah > 
the house <1004 bayith >; but thy son <1121 ben > that shall 
come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of thy loins <2504 
chalats >, he shall build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > 
unto my name <8034 shem >.



 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath performed <6965 quwm > his 
word <1697 dabar > that he spake <1696 dabar >, and I am risen 
<6965 quwm > up in the room <8478 tachath > of David <1732 David

throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > promised <1696 dabar >, and have built <1129 
banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >.



 21 And I have set <7760 suwm > there <8033 sham > a place <4725 
maqowm > for the ark <0727 >arown >, wherein [is] the covenant 
<1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > 
he made <3772 karath > with our fathers <1>, when he brought 
<3318 yatsa> > them out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim >.



 22. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > stood <5975 <amad > before 
<6440 paniym > the altar <4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > in the presence <5048 neged > of all <3605 kol > the 
congregation <6951 qahal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and 
spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3027 yad > toward heaven 
<8064 shamayim >:



 23 And he said <0559 >amar >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [there is] no <0369 >ayin

shamayim > above <4605 ma<al >, or on <5921 <al > earth <0776

covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617 checed > with thy 
servants <5650 <ebed > that walk <1980 halak > before <6440 
paniym > thee with all <3605 kol > their heart <3824 lebab >:



 24 Who <0834 >aher > hast kept <8104 shamar > with thy servant 
<5650 <ebed > David <1732 David > my father <1> that thou 
promisedst <1696 dabar > him: thou spakest <1696 dabar > also 
with thy mouth <6310 peh >, and hast fulfilled <4390 male> > 
[it] with thine hand <3027 yad >, as [it is] this <2088 zeh > 
day <3117 yowm >.



 25 Therefore now <6258 <attah >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, keep <8104 shamar > with 
thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 David > my father <1> that 
thou promisedst <1696 dabar > him, saying <0559 >amar >, There 
shall not fail <3772 karath > thee a man <0376 >iysh > in my 
sight <6440 paniym > to sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the 
throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; so <7535 raq > 
that thy children <1121 ben > take heed <8104 shamar > to their 
way <1870 derek >, that they walk <3212 yalak > before <6440 
paniym > me as thou hast walked <1980 halak > before <6440 
paniym > me.



 26 And now <6258 <attah >, O God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, let thy word <1697 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > 
thee, be verified <0539 >aman >, which <0834 >aher > thou 
spakest <1696 dabar > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 
David > my father <1>.



 27 But will God <0430 >elohiym > indeed <0552 >umnam > dwell 
<3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the earth <0776 >erets >? behold 
<2009 hinneh >, the heaven <8064 shamayim > and heaven <8064 
shamayim > of heavens <8064 shamayim > cannot <3808 lo> > 
contain <3557 kuwl > thee; how <0637 >aph > much <0637 >aph > 
less this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > that I have builded 
<1129 banah >?



 28 Yet have thou respect <6437 panah > unto the prayer <8605

 39 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou in heaven <8064 shamayim > thy

 44 If <3588 kiy > thy people <5971 <am > go <3318 yatsa> > out

 45 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou in heaven <8064 shamayim >

 46 If <3588 kiy > they sin <2398 chata> > against thee, (for 
[there is] no <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam > that sinneth <2398

deliver <5414 nathan > them to the enemy <0341 >oyeb >, so that

 49 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou their prayer <8605 t@phillah >

 51 For they [be] thy people <5971 <am >, and thine inheritance

 52 That thine eyes <5869 <ayin > may be open <6605 pathach >

 53 For thou didst <6213 <asah > separate <0914 badal > them

<4872 Mosheh > thy servant <5650 <ebed >, when thou broughtest 
<3318 yatsa> > our fathers <1> out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, O 
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



 54. And it was [so], that when Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had 
made an end <3615 kalah > of praying <6419 palal > all <3605 kol

 55 And he stood <5975 <amad >, and blessed <1288 barak > all

 56 Blessed <1288 barak > [be] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that

 57 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > be with us,
 as he was with our fathers <1>: let him not leave <5800 <azab >

 58 That he may incline <5186 natah > our hearts <3824 lebab >

our fathers <1>.



 59 And let these <0428 >el-leh > my words <1697 dabar >,

 60 That all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the earth

 61 Let your heart <3824 lebab > therefore be perfect <8003

 62. And the king <4428 melek >, and all <3605 kol > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > with him, offered <2076 zabach > sacrifice 
<2077 zebach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 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

 64 The same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > did the king <4428

meat offerings <4503 minchah >, and the fat <2459 cheleb > of

brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > that [was]

 65 And at that time <6256 <eth > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > held

<3478 Yisra>el > with him, a great <1419 gadowl > congregation

 66 On the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm > he sent 
<7971 shalach > the people <5971 <am > away: and they blessed 
<1288 barak > the king <4428 melek >, and went <3212 yalak > 
unto their tents <0168 >ohel > joyful <8056 sameach > and glad 
<2896 towb > of heart <3824 lebab > for all <3605 kol > the

<6213 <asah > for David <1732 David > his servant <5650 <ebed >, 
and for Israel <3478 Yisra>el > his people <5971 <am >.



1Kings 9



 1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > had finished <3615 kalah > the building <1129 banah > 
of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the 
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and all <3605 kol > 
Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > desire <2837 chesheq > which <0834

 2 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > appeared <7200 ra>ah > to 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the second <8145 sheniy > time, as he 
had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him at Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >.



 3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him, I 
have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605 t@phillah > and thy 
supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, that thou hast made before <6440

house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher > thou hast built <1129 
banah >, to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there <8033

 4 And if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > before <6440

uprightness <3476 yosher >, to do <6213 <asah > according to all

wilt keep <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > and my

 5 Then I will establish <6965 quwm > the throne <3678 kicce> > 
of thy kingdom <4467 mamlakah > upon Israel <3478 Yisra>el > for 
ever <5769 <owlam >, as I promised <1696 dabar > to David <1732 
David > thy father <1>, saying <0559 >amar >, There shall not

 6 [But] if <0518 >im > ye shall at all turn <7725 shuwb > from 
following <0310 >achar > me, ye or your children <1121 ben >, 
and will not keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > 
[and] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > which <0834 >aher > I have set

and serve <5647 <abad > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym

 7 Then will I cut <3772 karath > off Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
out of the land <0127 >adamah > which <0834 >aher > I have given 
<5414 nathan > them; and this house <1004 bayith >, which <0834

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be a proverb <4912 mashal > and a

 8 And at this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, [which] is high

<3068 Y@hovah > done <6213 <asah > thus <3602 kakah > unto this 
land <0776 >erets >, and to this house <1004 bayith >?



 9 And they shall answer <0559 >amar >, Because they forsook 
<5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym

upon other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and have

therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > brought <0935 bow> > 
upon them all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< >.



 10. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7097 qatseh > 
of twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >, when Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had built <1129 banah > the two <8147 sh@nayim

<3068 Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith

 11 ([Now] Hiram <2438 Chiyram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre 
<6865 Tsor > had furnished <5375 nasa> > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh 
> with cedar <0730 >erez > trees <6086 <ets > and fir <1265 
b@rowsh > trees <6086 <ets >, and with gold <2091 zahab >, 
according to all <3605 kol > his desire <2656 chephets >,) that 
then <0227 >az > king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
gave <5414 nathan > Hiram <2438 Chiyram > twenty <6242 <esriym > 
cities <5892 <iyr > in the land <0776 >erets > of Galilee <1551 
Galiyl >.



 12 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > came <3318 yatsa> > out from Tyre 
<6865 Tsor > to see <7200 ra>ah > the cities <5892 <iyr > which 
<0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had given <5414 nathan > 
him; and they pleased him not.



 13 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > cities <5892 
<iyr > [are] these <0428 >el-leh > which <0834 >aher > thou hast 
given <5414 nathan > me, my brother <0251 >ach >? And he called 
<7121 qara> > them the land <0776 >erets > of Cabul <3521 Kabuwl

 14 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > to the king 
<4428 melek > sixscore talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091 
zahab >.



 15. And this <2088 zeh > [is] the reason <1697 dabar > of the 
levy <4522 mac > which <0834 >aher > king <4428 melek > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > raised <5927 <alah >; for to build <1129 banah

own house <1004 bayith >, and Millo <4407 millow> >, and the 
wall <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and 
Hazor <2674 Chatsowr >, and Megiddo <4023 M@giddown >, and Gezer 
<1507 Gezer >.



 16 [For] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim > had gone <5927 <alah > up, and taken <3920 
lakad > Gezer <1507 Gezer >, and burnt <8313 saraph > it with 
fire <0784 >esh >, and slain <2026 harag > the Canaanites <3669 
K@na<aniy > that dwelt <3427 yashab > in the city <5892 <iyr >, 
and given <5414 nathan > it [for] a present <7964 shilluwach > 
unto his daughter <1323 bath >, Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > wife 
<0802 >ishshah >.



 17 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built <1129 banah > Gezer <1507 
Gezer >, and Bethhoron <1032 Beyth Chowrown > the nether <8481 
tachtown >,



 18 And Baalath <1191 Ba<alath >, and Tadmor <8412 Tadmor > in 
the wilderness <4057 midbar >, in the land <0776 >erets >,



 19 And all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of store <4543 
mick@nah > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah >, and 
cities <5892 <iyr > for his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and cities 
<5892 <iyr > for his horsemen <6571 parash >, and that which 
<0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > desired <2836 chashaq > 
to build <1129 banah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and in 
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, and in all <3605 kol > the land <0776 
>erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >.



 20 [And] all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > [that were] 
left <3498 yathar > of the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy >, Hittites 
<2850 Chittiy >, Perizzites <6522 P@rizziy >, Hivites <2340 
Chivviy >, and Jebusites <2983 Yebuwciy >, which <0834 >aher > 
[were] not of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

 21 Their children <1121 ben > that were left <3498 yathar > 
after <0310 >achar > them in the land <0776 >erets >, whom the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > also were not 
able <3201 yakol > utterly to destroy <2763 charam >, upon those 
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > levy <5927 <alah > a tribute <4522 
mac > of bondservice <5647 <abad > unto this <2088 zeh > day 
<3117 yowm >.



 22 But of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > make <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> > 
bondmen <5650 <ebed >: but they [were] men <0582 >enowsh > of 
war <4421 milchamah >, and his servants <5650 <ebed >, and his 
princes <8269 sar >, and his captains <7991 shaliysh >, and 
rulers <8269 sar > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, and his 
horsemen <6571 parash >.



 23 These <0428 >el-leh > [were] the chief <8269 sar > of the 
officers <5324 natsab > that [were] over <5921 <al > Solomon's 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > work <4399 m@la>kah >, five <2568 chamesh > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, which bare 
<7287 radah > rule <7287 radah > over the people <5971 <am > 
that wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah >.



 24 But Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > daughter <1323 bath > came 
<5927 <alah > up out of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 
David > unto her house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > 
[Solomon] had built <1129 banah > for her: then <0227 >az > did 
he build <1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> >.



 25 And three <7969 shalowsh > times <6471 pa<am > in a year 
<8141 shaneh > did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offer <5927 <alah > 
burnt <5930 <olah > offerings and peace <8002 shelem > offerings 
upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > he built 
<1129 banah > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and he burnt <6999 
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > 
that [was] before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. So he 
finished <7999 shalam > the house <1004 bayith >.



 26 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 
<asah > a navy <0590 >oniy > of ships in Eziongeber <6100 
<Etsyown <Etsyon Geber >, which <0834 >aher > [is] beside <0854

saphah > of the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >, in the land 
<0776 >erets > of Edom <0123 >Edom >.



 27 And Hiram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > in the navy 
<0590 >oniy > his servants <5650 <ebed >, shipmen that had 
knowledge <3045 yada< > of the sea <3220 yam >, with the 
servants <5650 <ebed > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.





 28 And they came <0935 bow> > to Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >, and 
fetched <3947 laqach > from thence <8033 sham > gold <2091 zahab 
>, four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and twenty <6242 
<esriym > talents <3603 kikkar >, and brought <0935 bow> > [it] 
to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



1Kings 10



 1. And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > 
heard <8085 shama< > of the fame <8088 shema< > of Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > concerning the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, she came <0935 bow> > to prove <5254 nacah > him with 
hard <2420 chiydah > questions <2420 chiydah >.





 2 And she came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
with a very <3966 m@<od > great <3515 kabed > train <2428 chayil

<1314 besem >, and very <3966 m@<od > much <7227 rab > gold 
<2091 zahab >, and precious <3368 yaqar > stones <68>: and when 
she was come <0935 bow> > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, she 
communed <1696 dabar > with him of all <3605 kol > that was in 
her heart <3824 lebab >.



 3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > told <5046 nagad > her all <3605 
kol > her questions <1697 dabar >: there was not [any] thing 
<1697 dabar > hid <5956 <alam > from the king <4428 melek >, 
which <0834 >aher > he told <5046 nagad > her not.



 4 And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > had 
seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and the house <1004 bayith > that he had 
built <1129 banah >,



 5 And the meat <3978 ma>akal > of his table <7979 shulchan >, 
and the sitting <4186 mowshab > of his servants <5650 <ebed >, 
and the attendance <4612 ma<amad > of his ministers <8334 
sharath >, and their apparel <4403 malbuwsh >, and his 
cupbearers <4945 mashqeh >, and his ascent <5930 <olah > by 
which <0834 >aher > he went <5927 <alah > up unto the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; there was no <3808 
lo> > more <5750 <owd > spirit <7307 ruwach > in her.



 6 And she said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek >, It was 
a true <0571 >emeth > report <1697 dabar > that I heard <8085 
shama< > in mine own land <0776 >erets > of thy acts <1697 dabar

 7 Howbeit I believed <0539 >aman > not the words <1697 dabar >, 
until <5704 <ad > I came <0935 bow> >, and mine eyes <5869 <ayin

half <2677 chetsiy > was not told <5046 nagad > me: thy wisdom 
<2451 chokmah > and prosperity <2896 towb > exceedeth <3254 
yacaph > the fame <8052 sh@muw<ah > which <0834 >aher > I heard 
<8085 shama< >.



 8 Happy <0835 >esher > [are] thy men <0582 >enowsh >, happy 
<0835 >esher > [are] these <0428 >el-leh > thy servants <5650

before <6440 paniym > thee, [and] that hear <8085 shama< > thy 
wisdom <2451 chokmah >.



 9 Blessed <1288 barak > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God

in thee, to set <5414 nathan > thee on <5921 <al > the throne 
<3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: because the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > loved <0160 >ahabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
for ever <5769 <owlam >, therefore made <7760 suwm > he thee 
king <4428 melek >, to do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > 
and justice <6666 ts@daqah >.



 10 And she gave <5414 nathan > the king <4428 melek > an 
hundred <3967 me>ah > and twenty <6242 <esriym > talents <3603 
kikkar > of gold <2091 zahab >, and of spices <1314 besem > very 
<3966 m@<od > great <7235 rabah > store, and precious <3368 
yaqar > stones <68>: there came <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more

<1314 besem > as these <1931 huw> > which <0834 >aher > the 
queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > gave <5414 nathan > 
to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



 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 <0211

<0484 >almuggiym > trees <6086 <ets >, and precious <3368 yaqar

 12 And the king <4428 melek > made <6213 <asah > of the almug 
<0484 >almuggiym > trees <6086 <ets > pillars <4552 mic<ad > for 
the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and for 
the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, harps <3658 
kinnowr > also and psalteries <5035 nebel > for singers <7891 
shiyr >: there came <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > such <3651 ken > 
almug <0484 >almuggiym > trees <6086 <ets >, nor <3808 lo> > 
were seen <7200 ra>ah > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 13 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 
nathan > unto the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > 
all <3605 kol > her desire <2656 chephets >, whatsoever <0834

which <0834 >aher > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gave <5414 nathan > 
her of his royal <4428 melek > bounty. So she turned <6437 panah

<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 
>echad > year <8141 shaneh > was six <8337 shesh > hundred <3967

talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091 zahab >,



 15 Beside <0905 bad > [that he had] of the merchantmen <8446 
tuwr >, and of the traffick <4536 micchar > of the spice <7402 
rakal > merchants <7402 rakal >, and of all <3605 kol > 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] 
beaten <7820 shachat > gold <2091 zahab >: six <8337 shesh > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > [shekels] of gold <2091 zahab > went <5927 
<alah > to one <0259 >echad > target <6793 tsinnah >.



 17 And [he made] three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > 
shields <4043 magen > [of] beaten <7820 shachat > gold <2091 
zahab >; three <7969 shalowsh > pound <4488 maneh > of gold 
<2091 zahab > went <5927 <alah > to one <0259 >echad > shield 
<4043 magen >: and the king <4428 melek > put <5414 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 <4609 
ma<alah >, and the top <7218 ro>sh > of the throne <3678 kicce>

were] stays <3027 yad > on either side on <0413 >el > the place 
<4725 maqowm > of the seat <7675 shebeth >, 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

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

<8143 shenhabbiym >, and apes <6971 qowph >, and peacocks <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 >elohiym > 
had put <5414 nathan > in his heart <3820 leb >.



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

 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

 27 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver <3701

 28 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > brought

 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 > 
this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, that he should not go 
<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 >, and for Jerusalem's <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
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 >, 
unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <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 > 
fled <1272 barach > from his lord <0113 >adown > Hadadezer <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 > to Damascus 
<1834 Dammeseq >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > 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 > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <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 na<ar > 
man that he was industrious, he made him ruler <6485 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 > 
when Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > went <3318 yatsa> > out of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, that the prophet <5030 nabiy> > 
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > the Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy > found 
<4672 matsa> > him in the way <1870 derek >; and he had clad 
<3680 kacah > himself <1931 huw> > with a new <2319 chadash > 
garment <8008 salmah >; and they two <8147 sh@nayim > [were] 
alone <0905 bad > in the field <7704 sadeh >:



 30 And Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > caught <8610 taphas > the new 
<2319 chadash > garment <8008 salmah > that [was] on <5921 <al > 
him, and rent <7167 qara< > it [in] twelve pieces <7168 qera< >:



 31 And he said <0559 >amar > to Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, Take 
<3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< >: for 
thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Behold 
<2005 hen >, I will rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 
mamlakah > out of the hand <3027 yad > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

shebet > to thee:



 32 (But he shall have <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > tribe 
<7626 shebet > for my servant <5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David 
> sake <4616 ma<an >, and for Jerusalem's <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
sake <4616 ma<an >, the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I 
have chosen <0977 bachar > out of all <3605 kol > the tribes 
<7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:)



 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 Moabites 
<4124 Mow>ab >, and Milcom <4445 Malkam > the god <0430 >elohiym

not walked <1980 halak > in my ways <1870 derek >, to do <6213 
<asah > [that which is] right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869 
<ayin >, and [to keep] my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my 
judgments <4941 mishpat >, as [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 
him prince <5387 nasiy> > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > 
of his life <2416 chay > for David my servant's <5650 <ebed > 
sake <4616 ma<an >, whom <0834 >aher > I chose <0977 bachar >, 
because <0834 >aher > he kept <8104 shamar > my commandments 
<4687 mitsvah > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah >:



 35 But I will take <3947 laqach > the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > 
out of his son's <1121 ben > hand <3027 yad >, and will give 
<5414 nathan > it unto thee, [even] ten <6235 <eser > tribes 
<7626 shebet >.



 36 And unto his son <1121 ben > will I give <5414 nathan > one 
<0259 >echad > tribe <7626 shebet >, that David <1732 David > my 
servant <5650 <ebed > may have a light <5216 niyr > alway before 
<6440 paniym > me in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the city 
<5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > me 
to put <7760 suwm > my name <8034 shem > there <8033 sham >.



 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 chuqqah > and 
my commandments <4687 mitsvah >, as David <1732 David > my 
servant <5650 <ebed > did <6213 <asah >; that I will be with 
thee, and build <1129 banah > thee a sure <0539 >aman > house 
<1004 bayith >, as I built <1129 banah > for David <1732 David >,
 and will give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto thee.



 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

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, unto Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq > king

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



 41. And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

 42 And the time <3117 yowm > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
reigned <4427 malak > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > over

 43 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > slept <7901 shakab > with his

 1. And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > went <3212 yalak > to Shechem

<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 >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 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 >, 
If <0518 >im > thou wilt be a servant <5650 <ebed > unto 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 <2205 zaqen > 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 > the 
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm >, as the king <4428 
melek > had appointed <1696 dabar >, saying <0559 >amar >, Come 
<7725 shuwb > to me again <7725 shuwb > the third <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 > 
portion <2506 cheleq > have we in David <1732 David >? 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 > unto their tents 
<0168 >ohel >.



 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 get 
<5927 <alah > him up to his chariot <4818 merkabah >, 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 <3478 Yisra>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 >, 
with the tribe <7626 shebet > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, 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 > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and unto all <3605 kol > the 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 >ach > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: 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 > to depart <3212 
yalak >, according to the word <1697 dabar > 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 >Ephrayim >, 
and dwelt <3427 yashab > therein; and went <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 
mamlakah > return <7725 shuwb > to the house <1004 bayith > of 
David <1732 David >:



 27 If <0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > go <5927 
<alah > up to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach > in the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > at Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, then shall the heart <3820 leb > of this 
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 
shuwb > unto their lord <3068 Y@hovah >, [even] unto Rehoboam 
<7346 R@chab<am > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
and they shall kill <2026 harag > me, and 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 >,
 and made <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > calves <5695 <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 >.



 29 And he set <7760 suwm > the one <0259 >echad > in Bethel 
<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

yalak > [to worship] before <6440 paniym > the one <0259 >echad 
>, [even] unto Dan <1835 Dan >.



 31 And he made <6213 <asah > an house <1004 bayith > of high 
<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 feast 
<2282 chag > in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh 
>, on the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the month 
<2320 chodesh >, like unto the feast <2282 chag > that [is] in 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the 
altar <4196 mizbeach >. So <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he in 
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, sacrificing <2076 zabach > unto the 
calves <5695 <egel > that he had made <6213 <asah >: and he 
placed <5975 <amad > in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > the priests 
<3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher

 33 So he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > 
which <0834 >aher > he had made <6213 <asah > in Bethel <1008 
Beyth->El > the fifteenth <6240 <asar > day <3117 yowm > of the 
eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, [even] in the 
month <2320 chodesh > which <0834 >aher > he had devised <0908 
bada> > of his own heart <3820 leb >; and ordained <6213 <asah > 
a feast <2282 chag > unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >: and he offered <5927 <alah > upon the altar 
<4196 mizbeach >, and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >.



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 <1121 ben > 
shall be born <3205 yalad > unto the house <1004 bayith > of 
David <1732 David >, Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > by name <8034 shem

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 
<1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm >, saying <0559 >amar >, This <2088 
zeh > [is] the sign <4159 mowpheth > which <0834 >aher > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >; Behold <2009 
hinneh >, the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be rent <7167 qara< >,
 and the ashes <1880 deshen > that [are] upon it shall be poured 
<8210 shaphak > out.



 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek > 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > heard <8085 shama< > the saying <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 > from 
the altar <4196 mizbeach >, saying <0559 >amar >, Lay 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 
> had given <5414 nathan > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<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 > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and pray 
<6419 palal > for me, that my hand <3027 yad > may be restored 
<7725 shuwb > me again <7725 shuwb >. And the man <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 <1004 
bayith >, I will not 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 > in this <2088 
zeh > place <4725 maqowm >:



 9 For so <3651 ken > was it charged <6680 tsavah > me by the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 
>amar >, Eat <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem >, 
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 > 
that he came <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >.



 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 >iysh > of 
God <0430 >elohiym > had done <6213 <asah > that day <3117 yowm

<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 > the 
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > went <1980 halak >, 
which <0834 >aher > came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 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

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

thee in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >:



 17 For it was said <1697 dabar > to me by the word <1697 dabar

<3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > nor <3808 lo> > drink <8354

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 >, Bring <7725 
shuwb > him back <7725 shuwb > with thee into <0413 >el > thine 
house <1004 bayith >, that he may eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 
lechem > and drink <8354 shathah > water <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

 21 And he cried <7121 qara> > unto the man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > that came <0935 bow> > from Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

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 > 
water <4325 mayim > in the place <4725 maqowm >, of the which 
<0834 >aher > [the LORD] did say <1696 dabar > to thee, Eat 
<0398 >akal > no <0408 >al > bread <3899 lechem >, and drink 
<8354 shathah > no <0408 >al > water <4325 mayim >; thy carcase 
<5038 n@belah > shall not come <0935 bow> > unto the sepulchre 
<6913 qeber > of thy fathers <1>.



 23. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, after <0310 >achar > he 
had eaten <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem >, and after <0310 
>achar > he had drunk <8354 shathah >, that he saddled <2280 
chabash > for him the ass <2543 chamowr >, [to wit], for the 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > whom <0834 >aher > he had <1961 hayah > 
brought <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >.



 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 <7993 
shalak > in the way <1870 derek >, and the ass <2543 chamowr > 
stood <5975 <amad > by it, the lion <0738 >ariy > also stood 
<5975 <amad > by the carcase <5038 n@belah >.



 25 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, men <0582 >enowsh > passed <5674 
<abar > by, and saw <7200 ra>ah > the carcase <5038 n@belah > 
cast <7993 shalak > in the way <1870 derek >, and the lion <0738

and they came <0935 bow> > and told <1696 dabar > [it] in the 
city <5892 <iyr > where <0834 >aher > the old <2205 zaqen > 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > dwelt <3427 yashab >.



 26 And when the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that brought <7725 shuwb

shama< > [thereof], he said <0559 >amar >, It [is] the man <0376

disobedient <4784 marah > unto the word <6310 peh > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >: therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath 
delivered <5414 nathan > him unto the lion <0738 >ariy >, which 
hath torn <7665 shabar > him, and slain <4191 muwth > him, 
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > unto him.



 27 And he spake <1696 dabar > to his sons <1121 ben >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, Saddle <2280 chabash > me the ass <2543 chamowr >.
 And they saddled <2280 chabash > [him].



 28 And he went <3212 yalak > and found <4672 matsa> > his 
carcase <5038 n@belah > cast <7993 shalak > in the way <1870 
derek >, and the ass <2543 chamowr > and the lion <0738 >ariy > 
standing <5975 <amad > by the carcase <5038 n@belah >: the lion 
<0738 >ariy > had not eaten <0398 >akal > the carcase <5038 
n@belah >, nor <3808 lo> > torn <7665 shabar > the ass <2543 
chamowr >.



 29 And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > took <5375 nasa> > up the 
carcase <5038 n@belah > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 
>elohiym >, and laid <3241 Yaniym > it upon the ass <2543 
chamowr >, and brought <7725 shuwb > it back <7725 shuwb >: and 
the old <2205 zaqen > prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <0935 bow> > 
to the city <5892 <iyr >, to mourn <5594 caphad > and to bury 
<6912 qabar > him.



 30 And he laid <3241 Yaniym > his carcase <5038 n@belah > in 
his own grave <6913 qeber >; and they mourned <5594 caphad > 
over <5921 <al > him, [saying], Alas <1945 howy >, my brother 
<0251 >ach >!



 31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, after <0310 >achar > he 
had buried <6912 qabar > him, that he spake <0559 >amar > to his 
sons <1121 ben >, saying <0559 >amar >, When I am dead <4191 
muwth >, then bury <6912 qabar > me in the sepulchre <6913 qeber

bones <6106 <etsem > beside <0681 >etsel > his bones <6106 
<etsem >:



 32 For the saying <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > he cried 
<7121 qara> > by the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > the altar <4196 mizbeach > in 
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol

<8111 Shom@rown >, shall surely <3588 kiy > come <1961 hayah > 
to pass.



 33 After <0310 >achar > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > returned <7725 shuwb > not from his 
evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >, but made <6213 <asah > again 
<7725 shuwb > of the lowest <7098 qatsah > of the people <5971

whosoever would <2655 chaphets >, he consecrated him, and he 
became <1961 hayah > [one] of the priests <3548 kohen > of the 
high <1116 bamah > places.



 34 And this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > became <1961 hayah

Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, even to cut <3582 kachad > [it] off, 
and to destroy <8045 shamad > [it] from off the face <6440

1Kings 14



 1. At that time <6256 <eth > Abijah <29> the son <1121 ben > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > fell sick <2470 chalah >.



 2 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > said <0559 >amar > to his wife 
<0802 >ishshah >, Arise <6965 quwm >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, 
and disguise <8138 shanah > thyself, that thou be not known 
<3045 yada< > to be the wife <0802 >ishshah > of Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am >; and get <1980 halak > thee to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >:
 behold <2009 hinneh >, there <8033 sham > [is] Ahijah <0281 
>Achiyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, which <1931 huw> > told 
<1696 dabar > me that [I should be] king <4428 melek > over 
<5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >.



 3 And take <3947 laqach > with thee ten <6235 <eser > loaves 
<3899 lechem >, and cracknels <5350 niqqud >, and a cruse <1228 
baqbuk > of honey <1706 d@bash >, and go <0935 bow> > to him: he 
shall tell <5046 nagad > thee what <4100 mah > shall become 
<1961 hayah > of the child <5288 na<ar >.



 4 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 >ishshah > did 
<6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >, and arose <6965 quwm >, and went 
<3212 yalak > to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and came <0935 bow> > 
to the house <1004 bayith > of Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah >. But 
Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > could <3201 yakol > not see <7200 ra>ah

his age <7869 seyb >.



 5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Ahijah 
<0281 >Achiyah >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, the wife <0802 >ishshah

darash > a thing <1697 dabar > of thee for her son <1121 ben >; 
for he [is] sick <2470 chalah >: thus <2090 zoh > and thus <2088 
zeh > shalt thou say <1696 dabar > unto her: for it shall be, 
when she cometh <0935 bow> > in, that she shall feign <5234 
nakar > herself [to be] another <5234 nakar > [woman].



 6 And it was [so], when Ahijah <0281 >Achiyah > heard <8085 
shama< > the sound <6963 qowl > of her feet <7272 regel >, as 
she came <0935 bow> > in at the door <6607 pethach >, that he 
said <0559 >amar >, Come <0935 bow> > in, thou wife <0802 
>ishshah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; why <4100 mah > 
feignest <5234 nakar > thou thyself [to be] another <5234 nakar

qasheh > [tidings].



 7. Go <3212 yalak >, tell <0559 >amar > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Forasmuch as I 
exalted <7311 ruwm > thee from among <8432 tavek > the people 
<5971 <am >, and made <5414 nathan > thee prince <5057 nagiyd > 
over <5921 <al > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,



 8 And rent <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > away from 
the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >, and gave <5414 
nathan > it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been <1961 hayah > as 
my servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 David >, who <0834 >aher > 
kept <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah >, and who 
<0834 >aher > followed me with all <3605 kol > his heart <3824

<1931 huw> > was] right <3477 yashar > in mine eyes <5869 <ayin

 9 But hast done <6213 <asah > evil <7489 ra<a< > above all 
<3605 kol > that were before <6440 paniym > thee: for thou hast 
gone <3212 yalak > and made <6213 <asah > thee other <0312

images, to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >, and hast cast 
<7993 shalak > me behind <0310 >achar > thy back <1458 gav >:



 10 Therefore, behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > 
evil <7451 ra< > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am >, and will cut <3772 karath > off from Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am > him that pisseth <8366 shathan > against the wall 
<7023 qiyr >, [and] him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left 
<5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and will take <1197 
ba<ar > away the remnant <0310 >achar > of the house <1004 
bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, as a man taketh <1197 
ba<ar > away dung <1557 galal >, till <5704 <ad > it be all

 11 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > in 
the city <5892 <iyr > shall the dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398

<1696 dabar > [it].



 12 Arise <6965 quwm > thou therefore, get <3212 yalak > thee to 
thine own house <1004 bayith >: [and] when thy feet <7272 regel

yeled > shall die <4191 muwth >.





 13 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall mourn 
<5594 caphad > for him, and bury <6912 qabar > him: for he only 
<0905 bad > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > shall come <0935 bow> > 
to the grave <6913 qeber >, because <3282 ya<an > in him there

 14 Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall raise <6965 quwm > 
him up a king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, who <0834 >aher > shall cut <3772 karath > off the 
house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > that day <3117 
yowm >: but what <4100 mah >? even <1571 gam > now <6258 <attah

 15 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall smite <5221 nakah > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as a reed <7070 qaneh > is shaken <5110 
nuwd > in the water <4325 mayim >, and he shall root <5428 
nathash > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of this <2063 zo>th > 
good <2896 towb > land <0127 >adamah >, which <0834 >aher > he 
gave <5414 nathan > to their fathers <1>, and shall scatter 
<2219 zarah > them beyond <5676 <eber > the river <5104 nahar >, 
because <0834 >aher > they have made <6213 <asah > their groves 
<0842 >asherah >, provoking the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to anger 
<3707 ka<ac >.



 16 And he shall give <5414 nathan > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > up 
because <1558 galal > of the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam 
<3379 Yarob<am >, who <0834 >aher > did sin <2398 chata> >, and 
who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 
chata> >.



 17 And Jeroboam's <3379 Yarob<am > wife <0802 >ishshah > arose 
<6965 quwm >, and departed <3212 yalak >, and came <0935 bow> > 
to Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >: [and] when she came <0935 bow> > to 
the threshold <5592 caph > of the door <1004 bayith >, the child 
<5288 na<ar > died <4191 muwth >;



 18 And they buried <6912 qabar > him; and all <3605 kol > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > mourned <5594 caphad > for him, 
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by the hand <3027 yad

prophet <5030 nabiy> >.



 19 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, how <0834 >aher > he warred <3898 
lacham >, and how <0834 >aher > he reigned <4427 malak >, behold 
<2009 hinneh >, they [are] written <3789 kathab > in the book 
<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 20 And the days <3117 yowm > which <0834 >aher > Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am > reigned <4427 malak > [were] two <8147 sh@nayim > and 
twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >: and he slept <7901 
shakab > with his fathers <1>, and Nadab <5070 Nadab > his son 
<1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 21. And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > reigned <4427 malak > in Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >. Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > [was] forty <0705

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the city <5892 <iyr > which

[was] Naamah <5279 Na<amah > an Ammonitess <5984 <Ammowniy >.



 22 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra<

they provoked him to jealousy <7065 qana> > with their sins

<6213 <asah >.



 23 For they also <1571 gam > built <1129 banah > them high 
<1364 gaboahh > places, and images <4676 matstsebah >, and 
groves <0842 >asherah >, on <5921 <al > every <3605 kol > high 
<1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah >, and under <8478 tachath > 
every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >.



 24 And there were also <1571 gam > sodomites <6945 qadesh > in 
the land <0776 >erets >: [and] they did <6213 <asah > according 
to all <3605 kol > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > of the 
nations <1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549 
chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Rehoboam 
<7346 R@chab<am >, [that] Shishak <7895 Shiyshaq > king <4428 
melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > came <5927 <alah > up against 
<5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >:



 26 And he took <3947 laqach > away the treasures <0214 >owtsar

the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house 
<1004 bayith >; he even took <3947 laqach > away all <3605 kol >:
 and he took <3947 laqach > away all <3605 kol > the shields 
<4043 magen > of gold <2091 zahab > which <0834 >aher > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah >.



 27 And king <4428 melek > Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > made <6213 
<asah > in their stead <8478 tachath > brasen <5178 n@chosheth > 
shields <4043 magen >, and committed <6485 paqad > [them] unto 
the hands <3027 yad > of the chief <8269 sar > of the guard 
<7323 ruwts >, which kept <8104 shamar > the door <6607 pethach

 28 And it was [so], when <1767 day > the king <4428 melek > 
went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, that the guard <7323 ruwts > bare <5375 nasa> > 
them, and brought <7725 shuwb > them back <7725 shuwb > into 
<0413 >el > the guard <7323 ruwts > chamber <8372 ta> >.



 29 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did 
<6213 <asah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book 
<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



 30 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > 
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > all 
<3605 kol > [their] days <3117 yowm >.



 31 And Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > 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 >. And his 
mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Naamah <5279 
Na<amah > an Ammonitess <5984 <Ammowniy >. And Abijam <38> his 
son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath

1Kings 15



 1. Now in the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 
melek > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat 
<5028 N@bat > reigned <4427 malak > Abijam <38> over <5921 <al > 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 2 Three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 
malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's 
<0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Maachah <4601 Ma<akah >, the 
daughter <1323 bath > of Abishalom <53>.





 3 And he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 
chatta>ah > of his father <1>, which <0834 >aher > he had done 
<6213 <asah > before <6440 paniym > him: and his heart <3824 
lebab > was not perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >, as the heart <3824 lebab > 
of David <1732 David > his father <1>.



 4 Nevertheless <3588 kiy > for David's <1732 David > sake <4616 
ma<an > did the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > 
give <5414 nathan > him a lamp <5216 niyr > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, to set <6965 quwm > up his son <1121 ben > after 
<0310 >achar > him, and to establish <5975 <amad > Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >:



 5 Because <0834 >aher > David <1732 David > did <6213 <asah > 
[that which was] right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and turned <5493 cuwr > not aside 
from any <3605 kol > [thing] that he commanded <6680 tsavah > 
him all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of his life <2416 chay

<0223 >Uwriyah > the Hittite <2850 Chittiy >.



 6 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > 
Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > all 
<3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of his life <2416 chay >.



 7 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Abijam <38>, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah >, 
[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > 
of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >? And there was war <4421 milchamah > 
between <0996 beyn > Abijam <38> and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >.



 8 And Abijam <38> slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers <1>; 
and they buried <6912 qabar > him in the city <5892 <iyr > of 
David <1732 David >: and Asa <0609 >Aca> > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 9. And in the twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > reigned <4427 malak > Asa <0609 >Aca> > over <5921 
<al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 10 And forty <0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years 
<8141 shaneh > reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > 
[was] Maachah <4601 Ma<akah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of 
Abishalom <53>.



 11 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > did <6213 <asah > [that which was] 
right <3477 yashar > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, as [did] David <1732 David > his father <1>.



 12 And he took <5674 <abar > away the sodomites <6945 qadesh > 
out of the land <0776 >erets >, and removed <5493 cuwr > all 
<3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > that his fathers <1> had 
made <6213 <asah >.



 13 And also <1571 gam > Maachah <4601 Ma<akah > his mother 
<0517 >em >, even her he removed <5493 cuwr > from [being] queen 
<1377 g@biyrah >, because <0834 >aher > she had made <6213 <asah 
> an idol <4656 miphletseth > in a grove <0842 >asherah >; and 
Asa <0609 >Aca> > destroyed <3772 karath > her idol <4656 
miphletseth >, and burnt <8313 saraph > [it] by the brook <5158 
nachal > Kidron <6939 Qidrown >.



 14 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not removed <5493 
cuwr >: nevertheless <7535 raq > Asa's <0609 >Aca> > heart <3824 
lebab > was perfect <8003 shalem > with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm >.



 15 And he brought <0935 bow> > in the things which his father 
<1> had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, and the things which himself 
had dedicated <6944 qodesh >, into the house <1004 bayith > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, silver <3701 keceph >, and gold <2091 
zahab >, and vessels <3627 k@liy >.



 16 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > Asa 
<0609 >Aca> > and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm >.



 17 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and built <1129 banah > Ramah <7414 Ramah >, 
that he might not suffer <5414 nathan > any to go <3318 yatsa> > 
out or come <0935 bow> > in to Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 18 Then Asa <0609 >Aca> > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > 
the silver <3701 keceph > and the gold <2091 zahab > [that were] 
left <3498 yathar > in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the 
treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house 
<1004 bayith >, and delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand 
<3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >: and king <4428 melek 
> Asa <0609 >Aca> > sent <7971 shalach > them to Benhadad <1131 
Binnuwy >, the son <1121 ben > of Tabrimon <2886 Tabrimmown >, 
the son <1121 ben > of Hezion <2383 Chezyown >, king <4428 melek 
> of Syria <0758 >Aram >, that dwelt <3427 yashab > at Damascus 
<1834 Dammeseq >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 19 [There is] a league <1285 b@riyth > between <0996 beyn > me 
and thee, [and] between <0996 beyn > my father <1> and thy 
father <1>: behold <2009 hinneh >, I have sent <7971 shalach > 
unto thee a present <7810 shachad > of silver <3701 keceph > and 
gold <2091 zahab >; come <3212 yalak > and break <6565 parar > 
thy league <1285 b@riyth > with Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, that he may depart 
<5927 <alah > from me.



 20 So Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto 
king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> >, and sent <7971 shalach > 
the captains <8269 sar > of the hosts <2428 chayil > which <0834 
>aher > he had against <5921 <al > the cities <5892 <iyr > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and smote <5221 nakah > Ijon <5859 
<Iyown >, and Dan <1835 Dan >, and Abelbethmaachah <62>, and all 
<3605 kol > Cinneroth <3672 Kinn@rowth >, with all <3605 kol > 
the land <0776 >erets > of Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >.



 21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> 
> heard <8085 shama< > [thereof], that he left <2308 chadal > 
off building <1129 banah > of Ramah <7414 Ramah >, and dwelt 
<3427 yashab > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



 22 Then king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > made <6213 <asah > 
a proclamation <8085 shama< > throughout all <3605 kol > Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >; none <0369 >ayin > [was] exempted <5355 naqiy

<7414 Ramah >, and the timber <6086 <ets > thereof, wherewith 
<0834 >aher > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > had builded <1129 banah >; 
and king <4428 melek > Asa <0609 >Aca> > built <1129 banah > 
with them Geba <1387 Geba< > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, and 
Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.



 23 The rest <3499 yether > of all <3605 kol > the acts <1697 
dabar > of Asa <0609 >Aca> >, and all <3605 kol > his might 
<1369 g@buwrah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah >, 
and the cities <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > 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 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >? Nevertheless <7535 raq > in 
the time <6256 <eth > of his old <2209 ziqnah > age he was 
diseased <2470 chalah > in his feet <7272 regel >.



 24 And Asa <0609 >Aca> > 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 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > his son <1121 ben > reigned 
<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 25. And Nadab <5070 Nadab > the son <1121 ben > of Jeroboam 
<3379 Yarob<am > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year 
<8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > two <8147 sh@nayim > years <8141 shaneh

 26 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked <3212 yalak > in 
the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in his sin <2403 
chatta>ah > wherewith <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 27 And Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > the son <1121 ben > of Ahijah 
<0281 >Achiyah >, of the house <1004 bayith > of Issachar <3485 
Yissaskar >, conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him; 
and Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > smote <5221 nakah > him at Gibbethon 
<1405 Gibb@thown >, which <0834 >aher > [belonged] to the 
Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >; for Nadab <5070 Nadab > and all 
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > laid siege <6696 tsuwr > to 
Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >.



 28 Even in the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
did Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slay <4191 muwth > him, and reigned 
<4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 29 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when he reigned <4427 
malak >, [that] he smote <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > the house 
<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; he left <7604

breathed <5397 n@shamah >, until <5704 <ad > he had destroyed

Shilonite <7888 Shiylowniy >:



 30 Because <5921 <al > of the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he sinned <2398 
chata> >, and which <0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el

<0834 >aher > he provoked the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

 31 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Nadab <5070 Nadab >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah

 32 And there was war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 beyn > Asa

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > their days <3117 yowm >.



 33 In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa

 34 And he did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and walked <3212 yalak > in 
the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and in his

1Kings 16



 1. Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of 
Hanani <2607 Chananiy > against <5921 <al > Baasha <1201 Ba<sha>

 2 Forasmuch as I exalted <7311 ruwm > thee out of the dust 
<6083 <aphar >, and made <5414 nathan > thee prince <5057 nagiyd

 and thou hast walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and hast made my people <5971 <am > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, to provoke me to 
anger <3707 ka<ac > with their sins <2403 chatta>ah >;



 3 Behold <2005 hen >, I will take <1197 ba<ar > away the 
posterity <0310 >achar > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and the 
posterity <0310 >achar > of his house <1004 bayith >; and will 
make <5414 nathan > thy house <1004 bayith > like the house 
<1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > 
of Nebat <5028 N@bat >.



 4 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > in the

 5 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, and what <0834 >aher > he did <6213 
<asah >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, [are] they not written

 6 So Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Tirzah <8656 
Tirtsah >: and Elah <0425 >Elah > his son <1121 ben > reigned

 7 And also <1571 gam > by the hand <3027 yad > of the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Hanani

the house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >; and 
because <0834 >aher > he killed <5221 nakah > him.



 8 In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and sixth <8337 shesh > year 
<8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > began Elah <0425 >Elah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, two years 
<8141 shaneh >.



 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 <al > him, as he 
was in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, drinking <8354 shathah > himself 
drunk <7910 shikkowr > in the house <1004 bayith > of Arza <0777 
>artsa> > steward <5921 <al > of [his] house <1004 bayith > in 
Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



 10 And Zimri <2174 Zimriy > went <0935 bow> > in and smote 
<5221 nakah > him, and killed <4191 muwth > him, in the twenty 
<6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > 
of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah 
>, and reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when he began to reign 
<4427 malak >, as soon as he sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > 
his throne <3678 kicce> >, [that] he slew <5221 nakah > all 
<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >: 
he left <7604 sha>ar > him not one that pisseth <8366 shathan > 
against a wall <7023 qiyr >, neither of his kinsfolks <1350 
ga>al >, nor of his friends <7453 rea< >.



 12 Thus did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > destroy <8045 shamad > all 
<3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> >, 
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > 
Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > by Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the prophet <5030 
nabiy> >,



 13 For all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Baasha 
<1201 Ba<sha> >, and the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Elah <0425 
>Elah > his son <1121 ben >, by which <0834 >aher > they sinned 
<2398 chata> >, and by which <0834 >aher > they made Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >, in provoking the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their vanities <1892 hebel >.



 14 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Elah <0425 >Elah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah 
>, [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 >?



 15. In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > did Zimri <2174 Zimriy > reign <4427 
malak > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > in Tirzah <8656 
Tirtsah >. And the people <5971 <am > [were] encamped <2583 
chanah > against <5921 <al > Gibbethon <1405 Gibb@thown >, which 
<0834 >aher > [belonged] to the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >.



 16 And the people <5971 <am > [that were] encamped <2583 chanah 
> heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar >, Zimri <2174 Zimriy > 
hath conspired <7194 qashar >, and hath also <1571 gam > slain 
<5221 nakah > the king <4428 melek >: wherefore all <3605 kol > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > made Omri <6018 <Omriy >, the captain 
<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >, king <4427 malak > over 
<5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that day <3117 yowm > in the 
camp <4264 machaneh >.



 17 And Omri <6018 <Omriy > went <5927 <alah > up from Gibbethon 
<1405 Gibb@thown >, and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
with him, and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Zimri <2174 Zimriy > 
saw <7200 ra>ah > that the city <5892 <iyr > was taken <3920 
lakad >, that he went <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the palace 
<0759 >armown > of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >,
 and burnt <8313 saraph > the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 
bayith > over <5921 <al > him with fire <0784 >esh >, and died 
<4191 muwth >,



 19 For his sins <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > he sinned 
<2398 chata> > in doing <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the 
sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, in walking 
<3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of Jeroboam <3379 
Yarob<am >, and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > 
he did <6213 <asah >, to make Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin 
<2398 chata> >.



 20 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Zimri <2174 Zimriy >, and his treason <7195 qesher > that he 
wrought <7194 qashar >, [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 >?



 21 Then <0227 >az > were the people <5971 <am > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > divided <2505 chalaq > into two <2677 chetsiy > parts 
<2677 chetsiy >: half <2677 chetsiy > of the people <5971 <am > 
followed Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son <1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 
Giynath >, to make him king <4427 malak >; and half <2677 
chetsiy > followed <0310 >achar > Omri <6018 <Omriy >.



 22 But the people <5971 <am > that followed <0310 >achar > Omri 
<6018 <Omriy > prevailed <2388 chazaq > against the people <5971 
<am > that followed <0310 >achar > Tibni <8402 Tibni > the son 
<1121 ben > of Ginath <1527 Giynath >: so Tibni <8402 Tibni > 
died <4191 muwth >, and Omri <6018 <Omriy > reigned <4427 malak 
>.



 23 In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and first <0259 >echad > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 
malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, twelve years 
<8141 shaneh >: six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh > reigned 
<4427 malak > he in Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >.



 24 And he bought <7069 qanah > the hill <2022 har > Samaria 
<8111 Shom@rown > of Shemer <8106 Shemer > for two talents <3603 
kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph >, and built <1129 banah > on 
<0853 >eth > the hill <2022 har >, and called <7121 qara> > the 
name <8034 shem > of the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > 
he built <1129 banah >, after <5921 <al > the name <8034 shem > 
of Shemer <8106 Shemer >, owner <0113 >adown > of the hill <2022 
har >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



 25 But Omri <6018 <Omriy > wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< 
> in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and did 
worse <7489 ra<a< > than all <3605 kol > that [were] before 
<6440 paniym > him.



 26 For he walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the way <1870 
derek > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nebat <5028 N@bat >, and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > wherewith 
<0834 >aher > he made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 
chata> >, to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym 
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their 
vanities <1892 hebel >.



 27 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Omri <6018 <Omriy > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah >, 
and his might <1369 g@buwrah > that he shewed <6213 <asah >, 
[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 >?



 28 So Omri <6018 <Omriy > slept <7901 shakab > with his fathers 
<1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >: 
and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak 
> in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 29. And in the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and eighth <8083 
sh@moneh > year <8141 shaneh > of Asa <0609 >Aca> > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the 
son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > to reign <4427 malak > 
over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

Shom@rown > twenty <6242 <esriym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > 
years <8141 shaneh >.



 30 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of Omri <6018 
<Omriy > did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 
<ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > above all <3605 kol > that 
[were] before <6440 paniym > him.



 31 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as if it had been a light 
<7043 qalal > thing for him to walk <3212 yalak > in the sins 
<2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben

<0802 >ishshah > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > the daughter <1323 
bath > of Ethbaal <0856 >Ethba<al > king <4428 melek > of the 
Zidonians <6722 Tsiydoniy >, and went <3212 yalak > and served 
<5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and worshipped <7812 shachah > 
him.



 32 And he reared <6965 quwm > up an altar <4196 mizbeach > for 
Baal <1168 Ba<al > in the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 
Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher > he had built <1129 banah > in 
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



 33 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 
>asherah >; and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > did <6213 <asah > more 
<3254 yacaph > to provoke the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to anger <3707 ka<ac > 
than all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > that were before <6440 paniym > him.



 34 In his days <3117 yowm > did Hiel <2419 Chiy>el > the 
Bethelite <1017 Beyth ha->Eliy > build <1129 banah > Jericho 
<3405 Y@riychow >: he laid the foundation <3245 yacad > thereof 
in Abiram <48> his firstborn <1060 b@kowr >, and set <5324 
natsab > up the gates <1817 deleth > thereof in his youngest 
<6810 tsa<iyr > [son] Segub <7687 S@guwb >, according to the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834

son <1121 ben > of Nun <5126 Nuwn >.



1Kings 17



 1. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >, 
[who was] of the inhabitants <8453 towshab > of Gilead <1568 
Gil<ad >, said <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, [As] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > liveth <2416 chay >, before <6440 paniym > whom <0834

shaneh >, but according <6310 peh > to my 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 
panah > thee eastward <6924 qedem >, and hide <5641 cathar > 
thyself by the brook <5158 nachal > Cherith <3747 K@riyth >, 
that [is] before Jordan <3383 Yarden >.



 4 And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink <8354 shathah > of 
the brook <5158 nachal >; and I have commanded <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 nachal 
> Cherith <3747 K@riyth >, that [is] before Jordan <3383 Yarden 
>.



 6 And the ravens <6158 <oreb > brought <0935 bow> > him bread 
<3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the morning <1242 
boqer >, and bread <3899 lechem > and flesh <1320 basar > in the 
evening <6153 <ereb >; and he drank of the brook <5158 nachal >.



 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > a while 
<3117 yowm >, that the brook <5158 nachal > dried <3001 yabesh > 
up, because <3588 kiy > there had <1961 hayah > been <1961 hayah

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



 9 Arise <6965 quwm >, get <3212 yalak > thee to Zarephath <6886 
Tsar@phath >, which <0834 >aher > [belongeth] to Zidon <6721 
Tsiydown >, and dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >: behold 
<2009 hinneh >, I have commanded <6680 tsavah > a widow <0490 
>almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > there <8033 sham > to sustain 
<3557 kuwl > thee.



 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 <2009 hinneh >, 
the widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > [was] there 
<8033 sham > gathering <7197 qashash > of sticks <6086 <ets >: 
and he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >, 
Fetch <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a little <4592 
m@<at > water <4325 mayim > in a vessel <3627 k@liy >, that I 
may drink <8354 shathah >.



 11 And as she was going <3212 yalak > to fetch <3947 laqach > 
[it], he called <7121 qara> > to her, and said <0559 >amar >, 
Bring <3947 laqach > me, I pray <4994 na> > thee, 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 <7058 qemach

shemen > in a cruse <6835 tsappachath >: and, behold <2005 hen >,
 I [am] gathering <7197 qashash > two <8147 sh@nayim > sticks 
<6086 <ets >, that I may go <0935 bow> > in and dress <6213 
<asah > it for me and my son <1121 ben >, 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 > me thereof 
<8033 sham > a little <6996 qatan > cake <5692 <uggah > first 
<7223 ri>shown >, and bring <3318 yatsa> > [it] 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 
kalah >, neither <3808 lo> > shall the cruse <6835 tsappachath > 
of oil <8081 shemen > fail <2637 chacer >, until <5704 <ad > the 
day <3117 yowm > [that] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sendeth <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 
>Eliyah >.



 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

sickness <2483 choliy > was so <3966 m@<od > 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 
>elohiym >, hast thou also brought evil <7489 ra<a< > upon the 
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 chayah 
>.



 23 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > the child 
<3206 yeled >, and brought <3381 yarad > him down <3381 yarad > 
out of the chamber <5944 <aliyah > into the house <1004 bayith >,
 and delivered <5414 nathan > him unto his mother <0517 >em >: 
and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar >, See <7200 ra>ah >,
 thy son <1121 ben > liveth <2416 chay >.



 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 God <0430 
>elohiym >, [and] that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > in thy mouth <6310 peh > [is] truth <0571 >emeth >.



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 > in the 
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, saying <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 
> by himself, and Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > went <1980 halak > 
another <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > by himself.



 7 And as Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > was in the way <1870 derek >, 
behold <2009 hinneh >, Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > met <7125 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 > the 
commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 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 >arba< 
> hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, and the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the groves <0842 >asherah > four 
<0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah >, which eat <0398 >akal > at 
Jezebel's <0348 >Iyzebel > table <7979 shulchan >.



 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 
<5921 <al > two <8147 sh@nayim > opinions <5587 ca<iph >? if 
<0518 >im > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [be] God <0430 >elohiym >, 
follow him: but if <0518 >im > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, [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 Y@hovah >; 
but Baal's <1168 Ba<al > prophets <5030 nabiy> > [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 >esh > [under]:



 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 >, 
let him be God <0430 >elohiym >. And all <3605 kol > the 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 
yourselves, and dress <6213 <asah > [it] first <7223 ri>shown >; 
for ye [are] many <7227 rab >; and call <7121 qara> > on the 
name <8034 shem > of your gods <0430 >elohiym >, but put <7760 
suwm > no <3808 lo> > fire <0784 >esh > [under].



 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 siyach >, or 
he is pursuing <7873 siyg >, or he is in a 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 > 
themselves after their manner <4941 mishpat > with knives <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 <alah > of 
the [evening] sacrifice <4503 minchah >, that [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 >amar >, Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > shall be thy name <8034 shem >:



 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> > four 
<0702 >arba< > barrels <3537 kad > with water <4325 mayim >, and 
pour <3332 yatsaq > [it] on <5921 <al > the burnt <5930 <olah > 
sacrifice, and on <5921 <al > the wood <6086 <ets >.



 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 > time.



 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 <ebed >, and [that] I have done 
<6213 <asah > all <3605 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 >. 
And they took <8610 taphas > them: and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 
brought <3381 yarad > them down <3281 Ya<lam > to the 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 > 
and drink <8354 shathah >; for [there is] a sound <6963 qowl > 
of abundance <1995 hamown > of rain <1653 geshem >.



 42 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <5927 <alah > up to eat <0398 
>akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >. And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 
went <5927 <alah > up to the top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 
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 <0376 
>iysh > hand <3709 kaph >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <5927 
<alah > up, say <0559 >amar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, Prepare 
<0631 >acar > [thy chariot], and get <3381 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

1Kings 19



 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 koh >, 
if I make <7760 suwm > not thy life <5315 nephesh > as 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 >, take <3947 laqach > away 
my life <5315 nephesh >; for I [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< > him,
 and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Arise <6965 quwm > [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

and drink <8354 shathah >, and laid <7901 shakab > him down 
<7901 shakab > again <7725 shuwb >.



 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 rab > for thee.



 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

<3915 layil > unto Horeb <2722 Choreb > the mount <2022 har > of 
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 >; and,
 behold <2009 hinneh >, the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > [came] to him, and he said <0559 >amar > unto him, 
What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >, Elijah <0452 
>Eliyah >?



 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 
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.



 11 And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 
yatsa> >, and stand <5975 <amad > upon the mount <2022 har > 
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. And, behold 
<2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > passed <5674 <abar > by,
 and a great <1419 gadowl > and strong <2389 chazaq > wind <7307 
ruwach > rent <6561 paraq > the mountains <2022 har >, and brake 
<7665 shabar > in pieces the rocks <5553 cela< > before <6440 
paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; [but] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

the wind <7307 ruwach > an earthquake <7494 ra<ash >; [but] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] not in the earthquake <7494 ra<ash >:



 12 And after <0310 >achar > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > a 
fire <0784 >esh >; [but] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was] not in 
the fire <0784 >esh >: and after <0310 >achar > the fire <0784 
>esh > a still <1827 d@mamah > small <1851 daq > voice <6963 
qowl >.



 13 And it was [so], when Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > heard <8085 
shama< > [it], that he wrapped <3874 luwt > his face <6440 
paniym > in his mantle <0155 >addereth >, and went <3318 yatsa>

in of the cave <4631 m@<arah >. And, behold <2009 hinneh >, 
[there came <0935 bow> >] a voice <6963 qowl > unto him, and 
said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > doest thou here <6311 poh >,
 Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >?



 14 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> >: because <3588 kiy > the children <1121 ben

covenant <1285 b@riyth >, thrown <2040 harac > down <2040 harac

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 > to 
the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >: 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 > of 
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > slay <4191 
muwth >.



 18 Yet I have left <7604 sha>ar > [me] seven <7651 sheba< > 
thousand <0505 >eleph > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, all <3605 
kol > the knees <1290 berek > which <0834 >aher > have not bowed 
<3766 kara< > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and every <3605 kol > 
mouth <6310 peh > which <0834 >aher > hath not kissed <5401 
nashaq > him.



 19. So he departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 sham >, and found 
<4672 matsa> > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of 
Shaphat <8202 Shaphat >, who <1931 huw> > [was] plowing <2790 
charash > [with] twelve yoke <6776 tsemed > [of oxen] before 
<6440 paniym > him, and he with the twelfth: 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 > unto him.



1Kings 20



 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 > 
into the city <5892 <iyr >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, 
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >,



 3 Thy silver <3701 keceph > and thy gold <2091 zahab > [is] 
mine; thy wives <0802 >ishshah > also and thy children <1121 ben

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

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 >amar >, 
Although <3588 kiy > I have sent <7971 shalach > unto thee, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt deliver <5414 nathan > me thy 
silver <3701 keceph >, and thy gold <2091 zahab >, 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

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<

<3701 keceph >, and for my gold <2091 zahab >; and I denied 
<4513 mana< > him not.



 8 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > and all <3605 
kol > the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > unto him, 
Hearken <8085 shama< > not [unto him], nor <3808 lo> > consent

 9 Wherefore he said <0559 >amar > unto the messengers <4397 
mal>ak > of Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy >, Tell <0559 >amar > my 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

shuwb >.



 10 And Benhadad <1131 Binnuwy > sent <7971 shalach > unto him, 
and said <0559 >amar >, The gods <0430 >elohiym > do <6213 <asah

suffice <5606 caphaq > for handfuls <8168 sho<al > for all <3605

 11 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, Tell <1696 dabar

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 > [yourselves in 
array]. And they 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

will deliver <5414 nathan > it into thine hand <3027 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

na<ar > men of the princes <8269 sar > of the provinces <4082 
m@diynah >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy > shall 
order <0631 >acar > the battle <4421 milchamah >? And he 
answered <0559 >amar >, Thou.



 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

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

 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

 18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Whether <0518 >im > they be come

 19 So these <0428 >el-leh > young <5288 na<ar > men of the

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

fled <5127 nuwc >; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > pursued <7291

melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > escaped <4422 malat > on <5921

 21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went

 22. And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > came <5066 nagash > to the 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and said <0559

 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 
>iysh > man <0376 >iysh > out of his place <4725 maqowm >, and 
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 >; but the 
Syrians <0758 >Aram > filled <4390 male> > the 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 > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Because the 
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 > this 
<2088 zeh > great <1419 gadowl > multitude into thine hand <3027 
yad >, and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 29 And they pitched <2583 chanah > one <0259 >echad > over 
<5227 nokach > against <5227 nokach > the other <0428 >el-leh > 
seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm >. And [so] it was, 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 > of the Syrians 
<0758 >Aram > an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <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 bayith 
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [are] merciful <2617 checed > kings 
<4428 melek >: let us, I pray <4994 na> > thee, put <7760 suwm > 
sackcloth <8242 saq > on our loins <4975 mothen >, and ropes 
<2256 chebel > upon our heads <7218 ro>sh >, and go <3318 yatsa> 
> out to the king <4428 melek > of 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 >amar >, Thy 
servant <5650 <ebed > Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > saith <0559 
>amar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, let me live <2421 chayah >. 
And he said <0559 >amar >, [Is] he yet <3588 kiy > alive <2416 
chay >? he [is] my brother <0251 >ach >.



 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]: and 
they said <0559 >amar >, Thy brother <0251 >ach > Benhadad <1130 
Ben-Hadad >. Then he said <0559 >amar >, Go <0935 bow> > ye, 
bring <3947 laqach > him. Then Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > came 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to him; and he caused him to 
come <5927 <alah > up into <5921 <al > the chariot <4818 
merkabah >.



 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 >; and thou 
shalt make <7760 suwm > streets <2351 chuwts > for 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 > with him, and 
sent <7971 shalach > him away.



 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 > turned <5493 
cuwr > aside, and brought <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > unto 
me, and said <0559 >amar >, Keep <8104 shamar > this <2088 zeh > 
man <0376 >iysh >: if <0518 >im > by any means he be missing 
<6485 paqad >, then shall thy life <5315 nephesh > be for his 
life <5315 nephesh >, or <0176 >ow > else thou shalt pay <8254 
shaqal > a talent <3603 kikkar > of 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 
<8111 Shom@rown >.



1Kings 21



 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 > [was] in Jezreel 
<3157 Yizr@<e>l >, hard <0681 >etsel > by 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 >], if <0518 >im > 
it seem good <2896 towb > to thee, I will 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 turned <5437 cabab > away his face <6440 paniym >, 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 
Yisra>el >? arise <6965 quwm >, [and] eat <0398 >akal > bread 
<3899 lechem >, and let thine heart <3820 leb > be merry <3190 
yatab >: I will give <5414 nathan > thee the vineyard <3754 
kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 
Yizr@<e>liy >.



 8 So she wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher > in Ahab's 
<0256 >Ach>ab > name <8034 shem >, and sealed <2856 chatham > 
[them] with his seal <2368 chowtham >, and sent <7971 shalach > 
the letters <5612 cepher > unto the elders <2205 zaqen > and to 
the nobles <2715 chor > that [were] in his city <5892 <iyr >, 
dwelling <3427 yashab > with Naboth <5022 Nabowth >.



 9 And she wrote <3789 kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm

ro>sh > among the people <5971 <am >:



 10 And set <3427 yashab > two <8147 sh@nayim > men <0582 
>enowsh >, sons <1121 ben > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al >, before 
<5048 neged > him, to bear <5749 <uwd > witness <5749 <uwd > 
against him, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou didst blaspheme <1288 
barak > God <0430 >elohiym > and the king <4428 melek >. And 
[then] carry <3318 yatsa> > him out, and stone <5619 caqal > him,
 that he may die <4191 muwth >.



 11 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of his city <5892 <iyr >, [even] 
the elders <2205 zaqen > and the nobles <2715 chor > who <0834 
>aher > were the inhabitants <3427 yashab > in his city <5892 
<iyr >, did <6213 <asah > as Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > had sent 
<7971 shalach > unto them, [and] as it [was] written <3789 
kathab > in the letters <5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > she 
had sent <7971 shalach > unto them.



 12 They proclaimed <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm >, and set 
<3427 yashab > Naboth <5022 Nabowth > on high <7218 ro>sh > 
among the people <5971 <am >.





 13 And there came <0935 bow> > in two <8147 sh@nayim > men 
<0582 >enowsh >, children <1121 ben > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al

<0582 >enowsh > of Belial <1100 b@liya<al > witnessed <5749 <uwd

presence <5048 neged > of the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 
>amar >, Naboth <5022 Nabowth > did blaspheme <1288 barak > God 
<0430 >elohiym > and the king <4428 melek >. 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 >.



 14 Then they sent <7971 shalach > to Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >, 
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 
>Iyzebel > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth > was 
stoned <5619 caqal >, and was dead <4191 muwth >, that Jezebel 
<0348 >Iyzebel > said <0559 >amar > to Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, 
Arise <6965 quwm >, take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash

Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy >, which <0834 >aher > he refused 
<3985 ma>en > to give <5414 nathan > thee for money <3701 keceph 
>: for Naboth <5022 Nabowth > is not alive <2416 chay >, but 
dead <4191 muwth >.



 16 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > heard <8085 shama< > that Naboth <5022 Nabowth > 
was dead <4191 muwth >, that Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > rose <6965 
quwm > up to go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the vineyard 
<3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 
Yizr@<e>liy >, to take <3423 yarash > possession <3423 yarash > 
of it.



 17. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 
Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 18 Arise <6965 quwm >, go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to 
meet <7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 >aher > [is] in Samaria 
<8111 Shom@rown >: behold <2009 hinneh >, [he is] in the 
vineyard <3754 kerem > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, whither he is 
gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to possess <3423 yarash > 
it.



 19 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > unto him, saying <0559 
>amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, Hast thou killed <7523 ratsach >, and also <1571 gam

dabar > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, In the place <4725 
maqowm > where <0834 >aher > dogs <3611 keleb > licked <3952

dogs <3611 keleb > lick <3952 laqaq > thy blood <1818 dam >, 
even <1571 gam > thine <0859 >attah >.



 20 And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > to Elijah <0452 
>Eliyah >, Hast thou found <4672 matsa> > me, O mine enemy <0341

<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 21 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra<

<0310 >achar >, and will cut <3772 karath > off from Ahab <0256

<7023 qiyr >, and him that is shut <6113 <atsar > up and left 
<5800 <azab > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,



 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 Ahijah 
<0281 >Achiyah >, for the provocation <3708 ka<ac > wherewith 
<0834 >aher > thou hast provoked [me] to anger <3707 ka<ac >, 
and made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 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 >Iyzebel > 
by the wall <2426 cheyl > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >.



 24 Him that dieth <4191 muwth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > in the 
city <5892 <iyr > the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal >;
 and him that dieth <4191 muwth > in the field <7704 sadeh > 
shall the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air <8064 shamayim > eat 
<0398 >akal >.



 25 But there was none <3808 lo> > like unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

<6213 <asah > wickedness <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, whom <0834 >aher > Jezebel <0348 
>Iyzebel > his wife <0802 >ishshah > stirred <5496 cuwth > up.



 26 And he did very <3966 m@<od > abominably <8581 ta<ab > in 
following idols <1544 gilluwl >, according to all <3605 kol > 
[things] as did <6213 <asah > the Amorites <0567 >Emoriy >, whom 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out 
before <6440 paniym > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >.



 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > 
heard <8085 shama< > those <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, 
that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and put 
<7760 suwm > sackcloth <8242 saq > upon his flesh <1320 basar >, 
and fasted <6684 tsuwm >, and lay <7901 shakab > in sackcloth 
<8242 saq >, and went <1980 halak > softly <0328 >at >.



 28 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 
Tishbiy >, saying <0559 >amar >,





 29 Seest <7200 ra>ah > thou how <3588 kiy > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab

because <3588 kiy > he humbleth <3665 kana< > himself before 
<6440 paniym > me, I will not bring <0935 bow> > the evil <7451 
ra< > in his days <3117 yowm >: [but] in his son's <1121 ben > 
days <3117 yowm > will I bring <0935 bow> > the evil <7451 ra< > 
upon his house <1004 bayith >.



1Kings 22



 1. And they continued <3427 yashab > three <7969 shalowsh > 
years <8141 shaneh > without war <4421 milchamah > between <0996 
beyn > Syria <0758 >Aram > and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7992 
sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh >, that Jehoshaphat <3092 
Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the king <4428 melek > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 3 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > unto his servants <5650 <ebed >, Know <3045 yada< 
> ye that Ramoth <7216 Ra>mowth > in Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > [is] 
ours, and we [be] still, [and] take <3947 laqach > it not out of 
the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 
>Aram >?



 4 And he said <0559 >amar > unto Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat 
>, Wilt thou go <3212 yalak > with me to battle <4421 milchamah 
> to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth >? And Jehoshaphat <3092 
Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, I [am] as thou [art], my people <5971 
<am > as thy people <5971 <am >, my horses <5483 cuwc > as thy 
horses <5483 cuwc >.



 5 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > unto 
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Enquire <1875 
darash >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, at the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to day <3117 yowm >.



 6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > together, 
about four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh

against <5921 <al > Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > to battle <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 <al > me, but evil 
<7451 ra< >. And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 
>amar >, Let not the king <4428 melek > say <0559 >amar > so 
<3651 ken >.



 9 Then the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > called 
<7121 qara> > an officer <5631 cariyc >, and said <0559 >amar >, 
Hasten <4116 mahar > [hither] Micaiah <4321 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 
<al > his throne <3678 kicce> >, having put <3847 labash > on 
their robes <0899 beged >, in a void <1637 goren > place <4725 
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

 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] into 
the king's <4428 melek > hand <3027 yad >.



 13 And the messenger <4397 mal>ak > that was gone <1980 halak > 
to call <7121 qara> > Micaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > spake <1696 
dabar > unto him, saying <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh > 
now <4994 na> >, the words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 
nabiy> > [declare] good <2896 towb > unto the king <4428 melek > 
with one <0259 >echad > mouth <6310 peh >: let 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] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, what the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar > unto me, that will I speak <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 <0413 >el > 
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > to battle <4421 milchamah >, or 
shall we forbear <2308 chadal >? And he answered <0559 >amar > 
him, Go <5927 <alah >, and prosper <6743 tsalach >: for the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > shall deliver <5414 nathan > [it] into the hand 
<3027 yad > of the king <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<

[that which is] true <0571 >emeth > in the name <8034 shem > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >?



 17 And he said <0559 >amar >, I saw <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol

<2022 har >, as sheep <6629 tso>n > that have not a shepherd 
<7462 ra<ah >: and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, 
These <0428 >el-leh > have no <3808 lo> > master <0113 >adown >: 
let them return <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > to his 
house <1004 bayith > in peace <7965 shalowm >.



 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 >amar >, 
I will persuade <6601 pathah > him.



 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 >amar

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 > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from me to speak <1696 dabar > 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> > into an 
inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > to hide <2247 chabah

 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 
>Amown > the governor <8269 sar > of the city <5892 <iyr >, 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 dabar > by me. 
And he said <0559 >amar >, Hearken <8085 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 > that 
it [was] not the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 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> > me out of the 
host <4264 machaneh >; for I am wounded <2470 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> 
> down of the sun <8121 shemesh >, saying <0559 >amar >, 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 > of 
Asa <0609 >Aca> > began to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <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 >; [for] the 
people <5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > and 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 > 
that he shewed <6213 <asah >, and how <0834 >aher > he warred 
<3898 lacham >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the 
book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of 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 > of his 
father <1> Asa <0609 >Aca> >, he took <1197 ba<ar > 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 
> to Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > for gold <2091 zahab >: but they 
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 >Achazyah 
> the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > unto Jehoshaphat 
<3092 Y@howshaphat >, Let my servants <5650 <ebed > go <3212 
yalak > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the ships <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 seventeenth 
<7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092 
Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and 
reigned <4427 malak > two years <8141 shaneh > over <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 yalak > in 
the way <1870 derek > of his father <1>, and in the way <1870 
derek > of his mother <0517 >em >, and in the way <1870 derek > 
of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 
N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin 
<2398 chata> >:



 53 For he served <5647 <abad > Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and 
worshipped <7812 shachah > him, and provoked to anger <3707 
ka<ac > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, according to all <3605 kol > that his father 
<1> had done <6213 <asah >.
