 : 1 .  Then Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194 
maveth > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > . 

 : 2 And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > fell <5307 naphal > down 
through <1157 b@<ad > a lattice <7639 s@bakah > in his upper 
<5944 <aliyah > chamber <5944 <aliyah > that  [ was ]  in 
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  and was sick <2470 chalah > : and 
he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto them ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  enquire <1875 
darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god <0430 
>elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > whether <0518 >im > I shall 
recover <2421 chayah > of this <2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy

 : 3 But the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
said <1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 
Tishbiy > ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  go <5927 <alah > up to meet 
<7125 qir>ah > the messengers <4397 mal>ak > of the king <4428 
melek > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  and say <1696 dabar > 
unto them ,   [ Is it ]  not because  [ there is ]  not a God 
<0430 >elohiym > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ that ]  ye go 
<1980 halak > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al 
Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > ? 

 : 4 Now therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Thou shalt not come <3381 
yarad > down <3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which 
<0834 >aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up ,  but shalt surely 
<3588 kiy > die <4191 muwth > .  And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 
departed <3212 yalak > . 

 : 5 And when the messengers <4397 mal>ak > turned <7725 shuwb > 
back <7725 shuwb > unto him ,  he said <0559 >amar > unto them , 
 Why <4100 mah > are ye now <2088 zeh > turned <7725 shuwb > 
back <7725 shuwb > ? 

 : 6 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  There came <5927 
<alah > a man <0376 >iysh > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > us ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > unto us ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  turn <7725 
shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > that 
sent <7971 shalach > you ,  and say <1696 dabar > unto him ,  
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
 [ Is it ]  not because  [ there is ]  not a God <0430 >elohiym 
> in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ that ]  thou sendest <7971 
shalach > to enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al 
Z@buwb > the god <0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > ?  
therefore <3651 ken > thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > down 
<3381 yarad > from that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 >aher 
> thou art gone <5927 <alah > up ,  but shalt surely <3588 kiy > 
die <4191 muwth > . 

 : 7 And he said <1696 dabar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah > 
manner <4941 mishpat > of man <0376 >iysh >  [ was he ]  which 
<0834 >aher > came <5927 <alah > up to meet <7125 qir>ah > you , 
 and told <1696 dabar > you these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 
dabar > ? 

 : 8 And they answered <0559 >amar > him ,   [ He was ]  an 
hairy man <0376 >iysh > ,  and girt <0247 >azar > with a girdle 
<0232 >ezowr > of leather <5785 <owr > about his loins <4975 
mothen > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  It  [ is ]  Elijah 
<0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy > . 

 : 9 .  Then the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > unto 
him a captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym > with his 
fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .  And he went <5927 <alah > up to 
him : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  he sat <3427 yashab > on 
<5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of an hill <2022 har > .  And 
he spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  Thou man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  the king <4428 melek > hath said <1696 dabar 
> ,  Come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > . 

 : 10 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said 
<1696 dabar > to the captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > ,  If <0518 >im > I  [ be ]  a man <0376 >iysh > 
of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  then let fire <0784 >esh > come <3381 
yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and 
consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .  
And there came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > fire <0784 >esh 
> from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and consumed <0398 >akal > him 
and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > . 

 : 11 Again <7725 shuwb > also he sent <7971 shalach > unto him 
another <0312 >acher > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .  And he 
answered <6030 <anah > and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  O man 
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  thus <3541 koh > hath 
the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > ,  Come <3381 yarad > 
down <3381 yarad > quickly <4120 m@herah > . 

 : 12 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > answered <6030 <anah > and said 
<1696 dabar > unto them ,  If <0518 >im > I  [ be ]  a man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  let fire <0784 >esh > come 
<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  
and consume <0398 >akal > thee and thy fifty <2572 chamishshiym 
> .  And the fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > came 
<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  
and consumed <0398 >akal > him and his fifty <2572 chamishshiym 
> . 

 : 13 And he sent <7971 shalach > again <7725 shuwb > a captain 
<8269 sar > of the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > with his fifty <2572 chamishshiym > .  And the 
third <7992 sh@liyshiy > captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > went <5927 <alah > up ,  and came <0935 bow> > 
and fell <3766 kara< > on <5921 <al > his knees <1290 berek > 
before <5048 neged > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  and besought 
<2603 chanan > him ,  and said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  O man 
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee 
,  let my life <5315 nephesh > ,  and the life of these <0428 
>el - leh > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > thy servants <5650 <ebed 
> ,  be precious <3365 yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin > . 

 : 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came <3381 yarad > fire 
<0784 >esh > down <3381 yarad > from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  
and burnt <0398 >akal > up the two <8147 sh@nayim > captains 
<8269 sar > of the former <7223 ri>shown > fifties <2572 
chamishshiym > with their fifties <2572 chamishshiym > : 
therefore let my life <5315 nephesh > now <6258 <attah > be 
precious <3365 yaqar > in thy sight <5869 <ayin > . 

 : 15 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
said <1696 dabar > unto Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ,  Go <3381 yarad 
> down <3381 yarad > with him : be not afraid <3372 yare> > of 
him .  And he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3381 yarad > down 
<3381 yarad > with him unto the king <4428 melek > . 

 : 16 And he said <1696 dabar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Forasmuch as 
thou hast sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to 
enquire <1875 darash > of Baalzebub <1176 Ba<al Z@buwb > the god 
<0430 >elohiym > of Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > ,   [ is it ]  not 
because  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to enquire <1875 darash > of his word 
<1697 dabar > ?  therefore thou shalt not come <3381 yarad > 
down <3381 yarad > off that bed <4296 mittah > on which <0834 
>aher > thou art gone <5927 <alah > up ,  but shalt surely <3588 
kiy > die <4191 muwth > . 

 : 17 So he died <4191 muwth > according to the word <1697 dabar 
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > Elijah <0452 
>Eliyah > had spoken <1696 dabar > .  And Jehoram <3088 Y@howram 
> reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > in the 
second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoram <3088 
Y@howram > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat 
> king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  because <3588 
kiy > he had <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > son <1121 ben > . 

 : 18 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > which <0834 >aher > 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 > ? 

 : 2Kings 2

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > would take <5927 <alah > up Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 
into heaven <8064 shamayim > by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > ,  
that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <3212 yalak > with Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > from Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > . 

 : 2 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha 
<0477 >Eliysha< > ,  Tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh > ,  I 
pray <4994 na> > thee ;  for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent 
<7971 shalach > me to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > .  And Elisha 
<0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >  [ unto him ,  As ]  the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  and  [ as ]  thy 
soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay > ,  I will not leave 
<5800 <azab > thee .  So they went <3381 yarad > down <3381 
yarad > to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > . 

 : 3 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
that  [ were ]  at Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > came <3318 yatsa> 
> forth <3318 yatsa> > to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will take <3947 laqach > away thy master 
<0113 >adown > from thy head <7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm > ? 
 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Yea <1571 gam > ,  I know <3045 
yada< >  [ it ]  ;  hold <2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 
chashah > . 

 : 4 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  tarry <3427 yashab > here <6311 poh 
> ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ;  for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
hath sent <7971 shalach > me to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > .  And 
he said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
liveth <2416 chay > ,  and  [ as ]  thy soul <5315 nephesh > 
liveth <2416 chay > ,  I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee .  So 
they came <0935 bow> > to Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > . 

 : 5 And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
that  [ were ]  at Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > came <5066 nagash > 
to Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him , 
 Knowest <3045 yada< > thou that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will 
take <3947 laqach > away thy master <0113 >adown > from thy head 
<7218 ro>sh > to day <3117 yowm > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar 
> ,  Yea <1571 gam > ,  I know <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  ;  hold 
<2814 chashah > ye your peace <2814 chashah > . 

 : 6 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  
Tarry <3427 yashab > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  here <6311 
poh > ;  for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > 
me to Jordan <3383 Yarden > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,   [ 
As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  and  [ as 
]  thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 chay > ,  I will not 
leave <5800 <azab > thee .  And they two <8147 sh@nayim > went 
<3212 yalak > on . 

 : 7 And fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > of the 
sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > went <1980 halak 
> ,  and stood <5975 <amad > to view <5048 neged > afar <7350 
rachowq > off : and they two <8147 sh@nayim > stood <5975 <amad 
> by Jordan <3383 Yarden > . 

 : 8 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > his mantle 
<0155 >addereth > ,  and wrapped <1563 galam >  [ it ]  together 
,  and smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > ,  and they 
were divided <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah > , 
 so that they two <8147 sh@nayim > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 
<abar > on dry <2724 charabah > ground . 

 : 9 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when they were gone 
<5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > ,  that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > 
said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  Ask <7592 
sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall do <6213 <asah > for thee ,  
before <2962 terem > I be taken <3947 laqach > away from thee .  
And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > ,  I pray <4994 
na> > thee ,  let a double <8147 sh@nayim > portion <6310 peh > 
of thy spirit <7307 ruwach > be upon me . 

 : 10 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou hast asked <7592 sha>al 
> a hard <7185 qashah > thing :  [ nevertheless ]  ,  if <0518 
>im > thou see <7200 ra>ah > me  [ when I am ]  taken <3947 
laqach > from thee ,  it shall be so <3651 ken > unto thee ;  
but if <0518 >im > not ,  it shall not be  [ so ]  . 

 : 11 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as they still went 
<1980 halak > on ,  and talked <1696 dabar > ,  that ,  behold 
<2009 hinneh > ,   [ there appeared ]  a chariot <7393 rekeb > 
of fire <0784 >esh > ,  and horses <5483 cuwc > of fire <0784 
>esh > ,  and parted <6504 parad > them both <8147 sh@nayim > 
asunder <0996 beyn > ;  and Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > went <5927 
<alah > up by a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > into heaven <8064 
shamayim > . 

 : 12 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  
and he cried <6817 tsa<aq > ,  My father <1> ,  my father <1> ,  
the chariot <7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and the 
horsemen <6571 parash > thereof .  And he saw <7200 ra>ah > him 
no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > : and he took hold <2388 chazaq 
> of his own <0249 >ezrach > clothes <0899 beged > ,  and rent 
<7167 qara< > them in two <8147 sh@nayim > pieces <7168 qera< > .
 

 : 13 .  He took <7311 ruwm > up also the mantle <0155 >addereth 
> of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him ,  
and went <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > ,  and stood <5975 
<amad > by the bank <8193 saphah > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > ; 

 : 14 And he took <3947 laqach > the mantle <0155 >addereth > of 
Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > that fell <5307 naphal > from him ,  and 
smote <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > ,  and said <0559 
>amar > ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
God <0430 >elohiym > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > ?  and when he 
also had smitten <5221 nakah > the waters <4325 mayim > ,  they 
parted <2673 chatsah > hither and thither <2008 hennah > : and 
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > . 

 : 15 And when the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> 
> which <0834 >aher >  [ were ]  to view <5048 neged > at 
Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > saw <7200 ra>ah > him ,  they said 
<0559 >amar > ,  The spirit <7307 ruwach > of Elijah <0452 
>Eliyah > doth rest <5117 nuwach > on <5921 <al > Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > .  And they came <0935 bow> > to meet <7125 qir>ah > 
him ,  and bowed <7812 shachah > themselves to the ground <0776 
>erets > before him . 

 : 16 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  there be with thy servants <5650 
<ebed > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > strong <2428 chayil > men ;  
let them go <3212 yalak > ,  we pray <4994 na> > thee ,  and 
seek <1245 baqash > thy master <0113 >adown > : lest <6435 pen > 
peradventure the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> hath taken <5375 nasa> > him up ,  and cast <7993 shalak > him 
upon some <0259 >echad > mountain <2022 har > ,  or <0176 >ow > 
into some <0259 >echad > valley <1516 gay> > .  And he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Ye shall not send <7971 shalach > . 

 : 17 And when they urged <6484 patsar > him till <5704 <ad > he 
was ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  he said <0559 >amar > ,  Send <7971 
shalach > .  They sent <7971 shalach > therefore fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh > ;  and they sought <1245 baqash 
> three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm > ,  but found <4672 
matsa> > him not . 

 : 18 And when they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to 
him ,   ( for he tarried <3427 yashab > at Jericho <3405 
Y@riychow > ,  )  he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Did I not 
say <0559 >amar > unto you ,  Go <3212 yalak > not ? 

 : 19 .  And the men <0582 >enowsh > of the city <5892 <iyr > 
said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  the situation <4186 
mowshab > of this <2088 zeh > city <5892 <iyr >  [ is ]  
pleasant <2896 towb > ,  as my lord <0113 >adown > seeth <7200 
ra>ah > : but the water <4325 mayim >  [ is ]  naught <7451 ra< 
> ,  and the ground <0776 >erets > barren <7921 shakol > . 

 : 20 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Bring <3947 laqach > me a new 
<2319 chadash > cruse <6746 ts@lochiyth > ,  and put <7760 suwm 
> salt <4417 melach > therein <8033 sham > .  And they brought 
<0935 bow> >  [ it ]  to him . 

 : 21 And he went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the 
spring <4161 mowtsa> > of the waters <4325 mayim > ,  and cast 
<7993 shalak > the salt <4417 melach > in there ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  I have healed <7495 rapha> > these <0428 >el -
 leh > waters <4325 mayim > ;  there shall not be from thence

unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ,  according to the 
saying <1697 dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > which <0834

 : 23 And he went <5927 <alah > up from thence <8033 sham > unto 
Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and as he was going <5927 <alah > 
up by the way <1870 derek > ,  there came <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > little <6996 qatan > children <5288 na<ar > out

 : 24 And he turned <6437 panah > back <0310 >achar > ,  and 
looked <7200 ra>ah > on them ,  and cursed <7043 qalal > them in 
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  And there 
came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > two <8147 sh@nayim >

<1234 baqa< > forty <0705 >arba<iym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > 
children <3206 yeled > of them . 

 : 25 And he went <3212 yalak > from thence <8033 sham > to

 : 2Kings 3

 : 1 .  Now Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > 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 
eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat

<4427 malak > twelve years <8141 shaneh > . 

 : 2 And he wrought <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight 
<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  but not like his 
father <1> ,  and like his mother <0517 >em > : for he put <5493 
cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal 
<1168 Ba<al > that his father <1> had made <6213 <asah > . 

 : 3 Nevertheless <7535 raq > he cleaved <1692 dabaq > unto the 
sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son 
<1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat > ,  which <0834 >aher > made 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> > ;  he departed 
<5493 cuwr > not therefrom . 

 : 4 And Mesha <4337 Meysha< > king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 
Mow>ab > was a sheepmaster <5349 noqed > ,  and rendered <7725 
shuwb > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > lambs <3733 kar

<0352 >ayil > ,  with the wool <6785 tsemer > . 

 : 5 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > was dead <4194 maveth > ,  that the king <4428 melek > 
of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > rebelled <6586 pasha< > against the king 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 6 .  And king <4428 melek > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > went 
<3318 yatsa> > out of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > the same <1931 
huw> > time <3117 yowm > ,  and numbered <6485 paqad > all <3605 
kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 7 And he went <3212 yalak > and sent <7971 shalach > to 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The king <4428 melek

: wilt thou go <3212 yalak > with me against <0413 >el > Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab > to battle <4421 milchamah > ?  And he said <0559 
>amar > ,  I will go <5927 <alah > up : I  [ am ]  as thou  [ 
art ]  ,  my people <5971 <am > as thy people <5971 <am > ,   [ 
and ]  my horses <5483 cuwc > as thy horses <5483 cuwc > . 

 : 8 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Which way <1870 derek > shall 
we go <5927 <alah> up ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  The 
way <1870 derek > through the wilderness <4057 midbar > of Edom 
<0123 >Edom > . 

 : 9 So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > went 
<3212 yalak > ,  and the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > ,  and the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > : 
and they fetched a compass <5437 cabab > of seven <7651 sheba< > 
days <3117 yowm >  journey <1870 derek > : and there was no 
<3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > for the host <4264 machaneh > ,  
and for the cattle <0929 b@hemah > that followed <7272 regel > 
them . 

 : 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Alas <0160 >ahabah > !  that the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh > 
three <7969 shalowsh > kings <4428 melek > together ,  to 
deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab > ! 

 : 11 But Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,  
 [ Is there ]  nothere <6311 poh > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that we may enquire <1875 darash > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him ?  And one <0259 >echad > of 
the king <4428 melek > of Israel s <3478 Yisra>el > servants 
<5650 <ebed > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  
Here <6311 poh >  [ is ]  Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the son <1121 
ben > of Shaphat <8202 Shaphat > ,  which <0834 >aher > poured 
<3332 yatsaq > water <4325 mayim > on <5921 <al > the hands 
<3027 yad > of Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > . 

 : 12 And Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > said <0559 >amar > ,  
The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is with him . 
 So the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and 
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > and the king <4428 melek > of 
Edom <0123 >Edom > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him .
 

 : 13 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  What <4100 mah 
> have I to do with thee ?  get <3212 yalak > thee to the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of thy father <1> ,  and to the prophets 
<5030 nabiy> > of thy mother <0517 >em > .  And the king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said <0559 >amar > unto him , 
 Nay <0408 >al > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called 
<7121 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh > three <7969 shalowsh > 
kings <4428 melek > together ,  to deliver <5414 nathan > them 
into the hand <3027 yad > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > . 

 : 14 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > 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 > ,  surely <3588 kiy > ,  were it not that I regard <5375 
nasa> > the presence <6440 paniym > of Jehoshaphat <3092 
Y@howshaphat > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,
  I would not look <5027 nabat > toward <0413 >el > thee ,  nor 
<0518 >im > see <7200 ra>ah > thee . 

 : 15 But now <6258 <attah > bring <3947 laqach > me a minstrel 
<5059 nagan > .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the 
minstrel <5059 nagan > played <5059 nagan > ,  that the hand 
<3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > upon 
him . 

 : 16 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Make <6213 <asah > this 
<2088 zeh > valley <5158 nachal > full of ditches <1356 geb > . 

 : 17 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  Ye shall not see <7200 ra>ah > wind <7307 ruwach > ,
  neither <3808 lo> > shall ye see <7200 ra>ah > rain <1653 
geshem > ;  yet that valley <5158 nachal > shall be filled <4390 
male> > with water <4325 mayim > ,  that ye may drink <8354 
shathah > ,  both ye ,  and your cattle <4735 miqneh > ,  and 
your beasts <0929 b@hemah > . 

 : 18 And this <2063 zo>th > is  [ but ]  a light <7043 qalal > 
thing in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : 
he will deliver <5414 nathan > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > also 
into your hand <3027 yad > . 

 : 19 And ye shall smite <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > fenced 
<4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and every <3605 kol > 
choice <4005 mibchar > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and shall fell <5307 
naphal > every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > tree <6086 <ets > , 
 and stop <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > wells <4599 ma<yan > of 
water <4325 mayim > ,  and mar <3510 ka>ab > every <3605 kol > 
good <2896 towb > piece <2513 chelqah > of land with stones <68> 
. 

 : 20 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242 
boqer > ,  when the meat offering <4503 minchah > was offered 
<5927 <alah > ,  that ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there came 
<0935 bow> > water <4325 mayim > by the way <1870 derek > of 
Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and the country <0776 >erets > was filled 
<4390 male> > with water <4325 mayim > . 

 : 21 And when all <3605 kol > the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > heard 
<8085 shama< > that the kings <4428 melek > were come <5927 
<alah > up to fight <3898 lacham > against them ,  they gathered 
<6817 tsa<aq > all <3605 kol > that were able <2296 chagar > to 
put <2296 chagar > on armour <2290 chagowr > ,  and upward <4605 
ma<al > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > in the border <1366 g@buwl > .
 

 : 22 And they rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in 
the morning <1242 boqer > ,  and the sun <8121 shemesh > shone 
<2224 zarach > upon the water <4325 mayim > ,  and the Moabites 
<4124 Mow>ab > saw <7200 ra>ah > the water <4325 mayim > on the 
other <5048 neged > side <5048 neged >  [ as ]  red <0122 >adom

 : 23 And they said <0559 >amar > ,  This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  
blood <1818 dam > : the kings <4428 melek > are surely slain 
<2717 charab > ,  and they have smitten <5221 nakah > one <0376 
>iysh > another <7453 rea< > : now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  to the spoil <7998 shalal > . 

 : 24 And when they came <0935 bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh

rose <6965 quwm > up and smote <5221 nakah > the Moabites <4124 
Mow>ab > ,  so that they fled <5127 nuwc > before <6440 paniym > 
them : but they went <5221 nakah > forward smiting <5221 nakah > 
the Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > ,  even in  [ their ]  country . 

 : 25 And they beat <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > the cities 
<5892 <iyr > ,  and on every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece 
<2513 chelqah > of land cast <7993 shalak > every man <0376 
>iysh > his stone <68> ,  and filled <4390 male> > it ;  and 
they stopped <5640 catham > all <3605 kol > the wells <4599 
ma<yan > of water <4325 mayim > ,  and felled <5307 naphal > all 
<3605 kol > the good <2896 towb > trees <6086 <ets > : only in 
Kirharaseth <7025 Qiyr Cheres > left <7604 sha>ar > they the 
stones <68> thereof ;  howbeit the slingers <7051 qalla< > went 
<5437 cabab > about <5437 cabab >  [ it ]  ,  and smote <5221 
nakah > it . 

 : 26 And when the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > saw 
<7200 ra>ah > that the battle <4421 milchamah > was too sore 
<2388 chazaq > for him ,  he took <3947 laqach > with him seven 
<7651 sheba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > that drew 
<8025 shalaph > swords <2719 chereb > ,  to break <1234 baqa< > 
through <1234 baqa< >  [ even ]  unto the king <4428 melek > of 
Edom <0123 >Edom > : but they could <3201 yakol > not . 

 : 27 Then he took <3947 laqach > his eldest <1060 b@kowr > son 
<1121 ben > that should have reigned <4427 malak > in his stead 
<8478 tachath > ,  and offered <5927 <alah > him  [ for ]  a 
burnt <5930 <olah > offering upon the wall <2346 chowmah > .  
And there was great <1419 gadowl > indignation <7110 qetseph > 
against <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and they departed 
<5265 naca< > from him ,  and returned <7725 shuwb > to  [ their 
own ]  land <0776 >erets > . 

 : 2Kings 4

 : 1 .  Now there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a certain <0259 >echad > 
woman <0802 >ishshah > of the wives <0802 >ishshah > of the sons 
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > 
my husband <0376 >iysh > is dead <4191 muwth > ;  and thou 
knowest <3045 yada< > that thy servant <5650 <ebed > did fear 
<3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and the creditor <5383 
nashah > is come <0935 bow> > to take <3947 laqach > unto him my 
two <8147 sh@nayim > sons <3206 yeled > to be bondmen <5650 
<ebed > . 

 : 2 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  
What <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > for thee ?  tell <5046 
nagad > me ,  what <4100 mah > hast <3426 yesh > thou in the 
house <1004 bayith > ?  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Thine 
handmaid <8198 shiphchah > hath not any <3605 kol > thing in the 
house <1004 bayith > ,  save <3467 yasha< > a pot <0610 >acuwk > 
of oil <8081 shemen > . 

 : 3 Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ,  borrow 
<7592 sha>al > thee vessels <3627 k@liy > abroad <2351 chuwts > 
of all <3605 kol > thy neighbours <7934 shaken > ,   [ even ]  
empty <7385 riyq > vessels <3627 k@liy > ;  borrow not a few 
<4591 ma<at > . 

 : 4 And when thou art come <0935 bow> > in ,  thou shalt shut 
<5462 cagar > the door <1817 deleth > upon thee and upon thy 
sons <1121 ben > ,  and shalt pour <3332 yatsaq > out into <5921

k@liy > ,  and thou shalt set <5265 naca< > aside <5265 naca< > 
that which is full <4392 male> > . 

 : 5 So she went <3212 yalak > from him ,  and shut <5462 cagar

,  who <1992 hem > brought <5066 nagash >  [ the vessels ]  to 
her ;  and she poured <3332 yatsaq > out . 

 : 6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the vessels <3627 
k@liy > were full <4390 male> > ,  that she said <0559 >amar > 
unto her son <1121 ben > ,  Bring <5066 nagash > me yet a vessel 
<3627 k@liy > .  And he said <0559 >amar > unto her ,   [ There 
is ]  not a vessel <3627 k@liy > more <5750 <owd > .  And the 
oil <8081 shemen > stayed <5975 <amad > . 

 : 7 Then she came <0935 bow> > and told <5046 nagad > the man 
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > .  And he said <0559 >amar

<2421 chayah > thou and thy children <1121 ben > of the rest 
<3498 yathar > . 

 : 8 .  And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm > ,  that 
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > passed <5674 <abar > to Shunem <7766 
Shuwnem > ,  where <8033 sham >  [ was ]  a great <1419 gadowl >

to eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > .  And  [ so ]  it was 
,   [ that ]  as oft <1767 day > as he passed <5674 <abar > by , 
 he turned <5493 cuwr > in thither <8033 sham > to eat <0398

 : 9 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her husband <0376 >iysh > , 
 Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  I perceive <3045 yada<

 : 10 Let us make <6213 <asah > a little <6996 qatan > chamber 
<5944 <aliyah > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  on the wall <7023 
qiyr > ;  and let us set <7760 suwm > for him there <8033 sham > 
a bed <4296 mittah > ,  and a table <7979 shulchan > ,  and a 
stool <3678 kicce> > ,  and a candlestick <4501 m@nowrah > : and 
it shall be ,  when he cometh <0935 bow> > to us ,  that he 
shall turn <5493 cuwr > in thither <8033 sham > . 

 : 11 And it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm > ,  that he 
came <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > ,  and he turned <5493 
cuwr > into <0413 >el > the chamber <5944 <aliyah > ,  and lay 
<7901 shakab > there <8033 sham > . 

 : 12 And he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his

 : 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Say <0559 >amar >

 : 14 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > then  [ is ] 
 to be done <6213 <asah > for her ?  And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy

 : 15 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Call <7121 qara> > her .  And 
when he had called <7121 qara> > her ,  she stood <5975 <amad > 
in the door <6607 pethach > . 

 : 16 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  About this <2088 zeh > season 
<4150 mow<ed > ,  according to the time <6256 <eth > of life 
<2416 chay > ,  thou shalt embrace <2263 chabaq > a son <1121 
ben > .  And she said <0559 >amar > ,  Nay <0408 >al > ,  my 
lord <0113 >adown > ,   [ thou ]  man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430

shiphchah > . 

 : 17 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > conceived <2030 hareh > ,  
and bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > at that season <4150 
mow<ed > that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > had said <1696 dabar > 
unto her ,  according to the time <6256 <eth > of life <2416 
chay > . 

 : 18 .  And when the child <3206 yeled > was grown <1431 gadal

<3318 yatsa> > out to his father <1> to the reapers <7114 qatsar

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his father <1> ,  My head 
<7218 ro>sh > ,  my head <7218 ro>sh > .  And he said <0559 
>amar > to a lad <5288 na<ar > ,  Carry <5375 nasa> > him to his 
mother <0517 >em > . 

 : 20 And when he had taken <5375 nasa> > him ,  and brought 
<0935 bow> > him to his mother <0517 >em > ,  he sat <3427 
yashab > on <5921 <al > her knees <1290 berek > till <5704 <ad > 
noon <6672 tsohar > ,  and  [ then ]  died <4191 muwth > . 

 : 21 And she went <5927 <alah > up ,  and laid <7901 shakab > 
him on <5921 <al >the bed <4296 mittah > of the man <0376 >iysh 
> of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and shut <5462 cagar >  [ the door 
]  upon him ,  and went <3318 yatsa> > out . 

 : 22 And she called <7121 qara> > unto her husband <0376 >iysh

<4994 na> > thee ,  one <0259 >echad > of the young <5288 na<ar

that I may run <7323 ruwts > to the man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  and come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > . 

 : 23 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > 
wilt thou go <1980 halak > to him to day <3117 yowm > ?   [ it 
is ]  neither <3808 lo> > new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh

<0559 >amar > ,   [ It shall be ]  well <7965 shalowm > . 

 : 24 Then she saddled <2280 chabash > an ass <0860 >athown > ,  
and said <0559 >amar > to her servant <5288 na<ar > ,  Drive 
<5090 nahag > ,  and go <3212 yalak > forward ;  slack <6113 
<atsar > not  [ thy ]  riding <7392 rakab > for me ,  except I 
bid <0559 >amar > thee . 

 : 25 So she went <3212 yalak > and came <0935 bow> > unto the 
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > to mount <2022 har > 
Carmel <3760 Karmel > .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  
when the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > saw <7200 
ra>ah > her afar <7350 rachowq > off ,  that he said <0559 >amar

Behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ yonder is ]  that Shunammite <7767 
Shuwnammiyth > : 

 : 26 Run <7323 ruwts > now <6258 <attah > ,  I pray <4994 na> > 
thee ,  to meet <7125 qir>ah > her ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto 
her ,   [ Is it ]  well <7965 shalowm > with thee ?   [ is it ]  
well <7965 shalowm > with thy husband <0376 >iysh > ?   [ is it 
]  well <7965 shalowm > with the child <3206 yeled > ?  And she 
answered <0559 >amar > ,   [ It is ]  well <7965 shalowm > . 

 : 27 And when she came <0935 bow> > to the man <0376 >iysh > of 
God <0430 >elohiym > to the hill <2022 har > ,  she caught <2388 
chazaq > him by the feet <7272 regel > : but Gehazi <1522 
Geychaziy > came <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > to thrust 
<1920 Hadaph > her away .  And the man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > ,  Let her alone <7503 
raphah > ;  for her soul <5315 nephesh >  [ is ]  vexed <4843 
marar > within her : and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath hid <5956 
<alam >  [ it ]  from me ,  and hath not told <5046 nagad > me . 

 : 28 Then she said <0559 >amar > ,  Did I desire <7592 sha>al > 
a son <1121 ben > of my lord <0113 >adown > ?  did I not say 
<0559 >amar > ,  Do not deceive <7952 shalah > me ? 

 : 29 Then he said <0559 >amar > to Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ,  
Gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen > ,  and take 
<3947 laqach > my staff <4938 mish<enah > in thine hand <3027 
yad > ,  and go <3212 yalak > thy way <1870 derek > : if <3588 
kiy > thou meet <4672 matsa> > any man <0376 >iysh > ,  salute 
<1288 barak > him not ;  and if <3588 kiy > any <0376 >iysh > 
salute <1288 barak > thee ,  answer <6030 <anah > him not again :
 and lay <7760 suwm > my staff <4938 mish<enah > upon the face 
<6440 paniym > of the child <5288 na<ar > . 

 : 30 And the mother <0517 >em > of the child <5288 na<ar > said 
<0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 
chay > ,  and  [ as ]  thy soul <5315 nephesh > liveth <2416 
chay > ,  I will not leave <5800 <azab > thee .  And he arose 
<6965 quwm > ,  and followed her . 

 : 31 And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > passed <5674 <abar > on 
before <6440 paniym > them ,  and laid <7760 suwm > the staff 
<4938 mish<enah > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the child 
<5288 na<ar > ;  but  [ there was ]  neither <0369 >ayin > voice 
<6963 qowl > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > hearing <7182 qesheb > .  
Wherefore he went <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to meet 
<7125 qir>ah > him ,  and told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559 
>amar > ,  The child <5288 na<ar > is not awaked <6974 quwts > . 

 : 32 And when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was come <0935 bow> > 
into the house <1004 bayith > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the 
child <5288 na<ar > was dead <4191 muwth > ,   [ and ]  laid 
<7901 shakab > upon his bed <4296 mittah > . 

 : 33 He went <0935 bow> > in therefore ,  and shut <5462 cagar 
> the door <1817 deleth > upon them twain <8147 sh@nayim > ,  
and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 34 And he went <5927 <alah > up ,  and lay <7901 shakab > 
upon the child <3206 yeled > ,  and put <7760 suwm > his mouth 
<6310 peh > upon his mouth <6310 peh > ,  and his eyes <5869 
<ayin > upon his eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and his hands <3709 kaph 
> upon his hands <3709 kaph > : and he stretched <1457 gahar > 
himself upon the child <3206 yeled > ;  and the flesh <1320 
basar > of the child <3206 yeled > waxed warm <2552 chamam > . 

 : 35 Then he returned <7725 shuwb > ,  and walked <3212 yalak > 
in the house <1004 bayith > to and fro ;  and went <5927 <alah > 
up ,  and stretched <1457 gahar > himself upon him : and the 
child <5288 na<ar > sneezed <2237 zarar > seven <7651 sheba< > 
times <6471 pa<am > ,  and the child <5288 na<ar > opened <6491 
paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin > . 

 : 36 And he called <7121 qara> > Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ,  
and said <0559 >amar > ,  Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th > 
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > .  So he called <7121 qara> > 
her .  And when she was come <0935 bow> > in unto him ,  he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Take <5375 nasa> > up thy son <1121 ben > . 

 : 37 Then she went <0935 bow> > in ,  and fell <5307 naphal > 
at <5921 <al > his feet <7272 regel > ,  and bowed <7812 shachah 
> herself to the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and took <5375 nasa> > 
up her son <1121 ben > ,  and went <3318 yatsa> > out . 

 : 38 .  And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <7725 shuwb > again 
<7725 shuwb > to Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > : and  [ there was ]  a 
dearth <7458 ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets > ;  and the sons 
<1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >  [ were ]  sitting 
<3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > him : and he said <0559 
>amar > unto his servant <5288 na<ar > ,  Set <8239 shaphath > 
on the great <1419 gadowl > pot <5518 ciyr > ,  and seethe <1310 
bashal > pottage <5138 naziyd > for the sons <1121 ben > of the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > . 

 : 39 And one <0259 >echad > went <3318 yatsa> > out into <0413 
>el > the field <7704 sadeh > to gather <3950 laqat > herbs 
<0219 >owrah > ,  and found <4672 matsa> > a wild <7704 sadeh > 
vine <1612 gephen > ,  and gathered <3950 laqat > thereof wild 
<7704 sadeh > gourds <6498 paqqu<ah > his lap <0899 beged > full 
<4393 m@lo> > ,  and came <0935 bow> > and shred <6398 palach >  
[ them ]  into <0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > of pottage <5138 
naziyd > : for they knew <3045 yada< >  [ them ]  not . 

 : 40 So they poured <3332 yatsaq > out for the men <0582 
>enowsh > to eat <0398 >akal > .  And it came <1961 hayah > to 
pass ,  as they were eating <0398 >akal > of the pottage <5138 
naziyd > ,  that they cried <6817 tsa<aq > out ,  and said <0559 
>amar > ,  O  [ thou ]  man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym

.  And they could <3201 yakol > not eat <0398 >akal >  [ thereof 
]  . 

 : 41 But he said <0559 >amar > ,  Then bring <3947 laqach > 
meal <7058 qemach > .  And he cast <7993 shalak >  [ it ]  into 
<0413 >el > the pot <5518 ciyr > ;  and he said <0559 >amar > ,  
Pour <3332 yatsaq > out for the people <5971 <am > ,  that they 
may eat <0398 >akal > .  And there was no <3808 lo> > harm in 
the pot <5518 ciyr > . 

 : 42 And there came <0935 bow> > a man <0376 >iysh > from 
Baalshalisha <1190 Ba<al Shalishah > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > 
the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > bread <3899 lechem

loaves <3899 lechem > of barley <8184 s@<orah > ,  and full ears 
<3759 karmel > of corn <3759 karmel > in the husk <6861 tsiqlon

unto the people <5971 <am > ,  that they may eat <0398 >akal > . 

 : 43 And his servitor <8334 sharath > said <0559 >amar > ,  
What <4100 mah > ,  should I set <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > 
before <6440 paniym > an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > 
?  He said <0559 >amar > again ,  Give <5414 nathan > the people 
<5971 <am > ,  that they may eat <0398 >akal > : for thus <3541 
koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  They shall 
eat <0398 >akal > ,  and shall leave <3498 yathar >  [ thereof ] 
 . 

 : 44 So he set <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  before <6440 paniym > 
them ,  and they did eat <0398 >akal > ,  and left <3498 yathar

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 2Kings 5

 : 1 .  Now Naaman <5283 Na<aman > ,  captain <8269 sar > of the 
host <6635 tsaba> > of the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 
>Aram > ,  was a great <1419 gadowl > man <0376 >iysh > with his 
master <0113 >adown > ,  and honourable ,  because <3588 kiy > 
by him the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > given <5414 
nathan > deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah > unto Syria <0758 >Aram > :
 he was also a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh > in 
valour <2428 chayil > ,   [ but he was ]  a leper <6879 tsara< > 
. 

 : 2 And the Syrians <0758 >Aram > had gone <3318 yatsa> > out 
by companies <1416 g@duwd > ,  and had brought <7617 shabah > 
away captive <7617 shabah > out of the land <0776 >erets > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a little <6996 qatan > maid <5291 
na<arah > ;  and she waited on Naaman s <5283 Na<aman > wife 
<0802 >ishshah > . 

 : 3 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her mistress <1404 g@bereth 
> ,  Would <0305 >achalay > God my lord <0113 >adown >  [ were ] 
 with the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that  [ is ]  in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > !  for he would recover <0622 >acaph > him of his 
leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > . 

 : 4 And  [ one ]  went <0935 bow> > in ,  and told <5046 nagad 
> his lord <0113 >adown > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <2063 
zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > said <1696 dabar > the maid <5291 
na<arah > that  [ is ]  of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 5 And the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > to ,  go <0935 bow> > ,  and I 
will send <7971 shalach > a letter <5612 cepher > unto the king 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .  And he departed 
<3212 yalak > ,  and took <3947 laqach > with him ten <6235 
<eser > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > ,  and 
six <8337 shesh > thousand <0505 >eleph >  [ pieces ]  of gold 
<2091 zahab > ,  and ten <6235 <eser > changes <2487 chaliyphah 
> of raiment <0899 beged > . 

 : 6 And he brought <0935 bow> > the letter <5612 cepher > to 
the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saying 
<0559 >amar > ,  Now <6258 <attah > when this <2088 zeh > letter 
<5612 cepher > is come <0935 bow> > unto thee ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  I have  [ therewith ]  sent <7971 shalach > Naaman 
<5283 Na<aman > my servant <5650 <ebed > to thee ,  that thou 
mayest recover <0622 >acaph > him of his leprosy <6883 tsara<ath 
> . 

 : 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had read <7121 qara> > the 
letter <5612 cepher > ,  that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes 
<0899 beged > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ Am ]  I God <0430 
>elohiym > ,  to kill <4191 muwth > and to make alive <2421 
chayah > ,  that this <2088 zeh > man doth send <7971 shalach > 
unto me to recover <0622 >acaph > a man <0376 >iysh > of his 
leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > ?  wherefore consider <3045 yada< > ,  
I pray <4994 na> > you ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > how <3588 kiy > 
he seeketh <0579 >anah > a quarrel <0579 >anah > against me . 

 : 8 And it was  [ so ]  ,  when Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the 
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > had heard <8085 shama< 
> that the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had 
rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged > ,  that he sent 
<7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar 
> ,  Wherefore <4100 mah > hast thou rent <7167 qara< > thy 
clothes <0899 beged > ?  let him come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> 
> to me ,  and he shall know <3045 yada< > that there is a 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 9 .  So Naaman <5283 Na<aman > came <0935 bow> > with his 
horses <5483 cuwc > and with his chariot <7393 rekeb > ,  and 
stood <5975 <amad > at the door <6607 pethach > of the house 
<1004 bayith > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > . 

 : 10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sent <7971 shalach > a 
messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Go 
<1980 halak > and wash <7364 rachats > in Jordan <3383 Yarden > 
seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 pa<am > ,  and thy flesh <1320 
basar > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to thee ,  
and thou shalt be clean <2891 taher > . 

 : 11 But Naaman <5283 Na<aman > was wroth <7107 qatsaph > ,  
and went <3212 yalak > away ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold 
<2009 hinneh > ,  I thought <0559 >amar > ,  He will surely come 
<3318 yatsa> > out to me ,  and stand <5975 <amad > ,  and call 
<7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> his God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and strike <5130 nuwph > his hand 
<3027 yad > over <0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm > ,  and 
recover <0622 >acaph > the leper <6879 tsara< > . 

 : 12  [ Are ]  not Abana <71> and Pharpar <6554 Parpar > ,  
rivers <5104 nahar > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  better 
<2896 towb > than all <3605 kol > the waters <4325 mayim > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?  may I not wash <7364 rachats > in 
them ,  and be clean <2891 taher > ?  So he turned <6437 panah > 
and went <3212 yalak > away in a rage <2534 chemah > . 

 : 13 And his servants <5650 <ebed > came <5066 nagash > near 
<5066 nagash > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > unto him ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  My father <1> ,   [ if ]  the prophet <5030 
nabiy> > had bid <1696 dabar > thee  [ do some ]  great <1419 
gadowl > thing <1697 dabar > ,  wouldest thou not have done 
<6213 <asah >  [ it ]  ?  how <0637 >aph > much rather then ,  
when <3588 kiy > he saith <0559 >amar > to thee ,  Wash <7364 
rachats > ,  and be clean <2891 taher > ? 

 : 14 Then went <3381 yarad > he down <3381 yarad > ,  and 
dipped <2881 tabal > himself seven <7651 sheba< > times <6471 
pa<am > in Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  according to the saying 
<1697 dabar > of the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > : 
and his flesh <1320 basar > came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb 
> like unto the flesh <1320 basar > of a little <6995 qoten > 
child <5288 na<ar > ,  and he was clean <2891 taher > . 

 : 15 .  And he returned <7725 shuwb > to the man <0376 >iysh > 
of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  he and all <3605 kol > his company 
<4264 machaneh > ,  and came <0935 bow> > ,  and stood <5975 
<amad > before <6440 paniym > him : and he said <0559 >amar > ,  
Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  now <4994 na> > I know <3045 yada< > 
that  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > in all

 : 16 But he said <0559 >amar > ,   [ As ]  the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  before <6440 paniym > whom 
<0834 >aher > I stand <5975 <amad > ,  I will receive <3947

laqach >  [ it ]  ;  but he refused <3985 ma>en > . 

 : 17 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar > ,  Shall 
there not then ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  be given <5414

 : 18 In this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,   [ 
that ]  when my master <0113 >adown > goeth <0935 bow> > into

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <3212 yalak > in 
peace <7965 shalowm > .  So he departed <3212 yalak > from him a 
little <3530 kibrah > way <0776 >erets > . 

 : 20 .  But Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ,  the servant <5288 na<ar

Na<aman > this <2088 zeh > Syrian <0761 >Arammiy > ,  in not

after <0310 >achar > him ,  and take <3947 laqach > somewhat 
<3972 m@uwmah > of him . 

 : 21 So Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > followed <7291 radaph > after 
<0310 >achar > Naaman <5283 Na<aman > .  And when Naaman <5283 
Na<aman > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ him ]  running <7323 ruwts > 
after <0310 >achar > him ,  he lighted <5307 naphal > down from

said <0559 >amar > ,   [ Is ]  all well <7965 shalowm > ? 

 : 22 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  All  [ is ]  well <7965

 : 23 And Naaman <5283 Na<aman > said <0559 >amar > ,  Be 
content <2974 ya>al > ,  take <3947 laqach > two talents <3603 
kikkar > .  And he urged <6555 parats > him ,  and bound <6887 
tsarar > two <8147 sh@nayim > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver 
<3701 keceph > in two <8147 sh@nayim > bags <2754 chariyt > ,  
with two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487 chaliyphah > of garments 
<0899 beged > ,  and laid <5414 nathan >  [ them ]  upon two 
<8147 sh@nayim > of his servants <5288 na<ar > ;  and they bare 
<5375 nasa> >  [ them ]  before <6440 paniym > him . 

 : 24 And when he came <0935 bow> > to the tower <6076 <ophel > ,
  he took <3947 laqach >  [ them ]  from their hand <3027 yad > ,
  and bestowed <6485 paqad >  [ them ]  in the house <1004 
bayith > : and he let the men <0582 >enowsh > go <7971 shalach > 
,  and they departed <3212 yalak > . 

 : 25 But he went <0935 bow> > in ,  and stood <5975 <amad > 
before <0413 >el > his master <0113 >adown > .  And Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Whence <0370 >aiyn >  
[ comest thou ]  ,  Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > ?  And he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Thy servant <5650 <ebed > went <1980 halak > no 
<3808 lo> > whither <0575 >an > . 

 : 26 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Went <1980 halak > 
not mine heart <3820 leb >  [ with thee ]  ,  when the man <0376 
>iysh > turned <2015 haphak > again from his chariot <4818 
merkabah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > thee ?   [ Is it ]  a time 
<6256 <eth > to receive <3947 laqach > money <3701 keceph > ,  
and to receive <3947 laqach > garments <0899 beged > ,  and 
oliveyards <2132 zayith > ,  and vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  and 
sheep <6629 tso>n > ,  and oxen <1241 baqar > ,  and menservants 
<5650 <ebed > ,  and maidservants <8198 shiphchah > ? 

 : 27 The leprosy <6883 tsara<ath > therefore of Naaman <5283 
Na<aman > shall cleave <1692 dabaq > unto thee ,  and unto thy

tsara< >  [ as white ]  as snow <7950 sheleg > . 

 : 2Kings 6

 : 1 .  And the sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
said <0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  the place <4725 maqowm > where we 
dwell <3427 yashab > with thee is too strait <6862 tsar > for us 
. 

 : 2 Let us go <3212 yalak > ,  we pray <4994 na> > thee ,  unto 
Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  and take <3947 laqach > thence <8033 
sham > every man <0376 >iysh > a beam <6982 qowrah > ,  and let 
us make <6213 <asah > us a place <4725 maqowm > there <8033 sham

answered <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > ye . 

 : 3 And one <0259 >echad > said <0559 >amar > ,  Be content 
<2974 ya>al > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  and go <3212 yalak > 
with thy servants <5650 <ebed > .  And he answered <0559 >amar > 
,  I will go <3212 yalak > . 

 : 4 So he went <3212 yalak > with them .  And when they came 
<0935 bow> > to Jordan <3383 Yarden > ,  they cut <1504 gazar > 
down wood <6086 <ets > . 

 : 5 But as one <0259 >echad > was felling <5307 naphal > a beam 
<6982 qowrah > ,  the axe <1270 barzel > head <1270 barzel > 
fell <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the water <4325 mayim > : 
and he cried <6817 tsa<aq > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Alas 
<0160 >ahabah > ,  master <0113 >adown > !  for it was borrowed 
<7592 sha>al > . 

 : 6 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Where <0575 >an > fell <5307 naphal > it ?  And 
he shewed <7200 ra>ah > him the place <4725 maqowm > .  And he 
cut <7094 qatsab > down a stick <6086 <ets > ,  and cast <7993 
shalak >  [ it ]  in thither <8033 sham > ;  and the iron <1270 
barzel > did swim <6687 tsuwph > . 

 : 7 Therefore said <0559 >amar > he ,  Take <7311 ruwm >  [ it 
]  up to thee .  And he put <7971 shalach > out his hand <3027 
yad > ,  and took <3947 laqach > it . 

 : 8 .  Then the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > 
warred <3898 lacham > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and 
took counsel <3289 ya<ats > with his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  In such <6423 p@loniy > and such <0492 
>almoniy > a place <4725 maqowm >  [ shall be ]  my camp <8466 
tachanah > . 

 : 9 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > sent 
<7971 shalach > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Beware <8104 shamar > that 
thou pass <5674 <abar > not such <2088 zeh > a place <4725 
maqowm > ;  for thither <8033 sham > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > 
are come <5185 nacheth > down <5181 nachath > . 

 : 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent 
<7971 shalach > to the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher > 
the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > told <0559 >amar > 
him and warned <2094 zahar > him of ,  and saved <8104 shamar > 
himself there <8033 sham > ,  not once <0259 >echad > nor <3808 
lo> > twice <8147 sh@nayim > . 

 : 11 Therefore the heart <3820 leb > of the king <4428 melek > 
of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sore troubled <5590 ca<ar > for this 
<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > ;  and he called <7121 qara> > 
his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto them , 
 Will ye not shew <5046 nagad > me which <4310 miy > of us  [ is 
]  for the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ? 

 : 12 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > said 
<0559 >amar > ,  None <3808 lo> > ,  my lord <0113 >adown > ,  O 
king <4428 melek > : but Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > that  [ is ]  in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  
telleth <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > the words <1697 dabar > that thou speakest <1696 
dabar > in thy bedchamber . 

 : 13 .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > and spy 
<7200 ra>ah > where <0351 >eykoh > he  [ is ]  ,  that I may 
send <7971 shalach > and fetch <3947 laqach > him .  And it was 
told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > ,   [ he is ]  in Dothan <1886 Dothan > . 

 : 14 Therefore sent <7971 shalach > he thither <8033 sham > 
horses <5483 cuwc > ,  and chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and a great 
<3515 kabed > host <2428 chayil > : and they came <0935 bow> > 
by night <3915 layil > ,  and compassed <5362 naqaph > the city 
<5892 <iyr > about <5362 naqaph > . 

 : 15 And when the servant <8334 sharath > of the man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > was risen <6965 quwm > early 
<7925 shakam > ,  and gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > , 
 behold <2009 hinneh > ,  an host <2428 chayil > compassed <5437 
cabab > the city <5892 <iyr > both with horses <5483 cuwc > and 
chariots <7393 rekeb > .  And his servant <5288 na<ar > said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Alas <0160 >ahabah > ,  my master 
<0113 >adown > !  how <0349 >eyk > shall we do <6213 <asah > ? 

 : 16 And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not : 
for they that  [ be ]  with us  [ are ]  more <7227 rab > than 
they that  [ be ]  with them . 

 : 17 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I pray <4994 na> > 
thee ,  open <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  that he 
may see <7200 ra>ah > .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > opened 
<6491 paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the young <5288 na<ar > 
man ;  and he saw <7200 ra>ah > : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > , 
 the mountain <2022 har >  [ was ]  full <4390 male> > of horses 
<5483 cuwc > and chariots <7393 rekeb > of fire <0784 >esh > 
round <5439 cabiyb > about Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > . 

 : 18 And when they came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to him 
,  Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > 
this <2088 zeh > people <1471 gowy > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,
  with blindness <5575 canver > .  And he smote <5221 nakah > 
them with blindness <5575 canver > according to the word <1697 
dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > . 

 : 19 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,
  This  [ is ]  not the way <1870 derek > ,  neither <3808 lo> > 
 [ is ]  this <2090 zoh > the city <5892 <iyr > : follow me ,  
and I will bring <3212 yalak > you to the man <0376 >iysh > whom 
<0834 >aher > ye seek <1245 baqash > .  But he led <3212 yalak > 
them to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > . 

 : 20 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when they were come 
<0935 bow> > into Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  that Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  open 
<6491 paqach > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of these <0428 >el - leh > 
 [ men ]  ,  that they may see <7200 ra>ah > .  And the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > opened <6491 paqach > their eyes <5869 <ayin > , 
 and they saw <7200 ra>ah > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   
[ they were ]  in the midst <8432 tavek > of Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > . 

 : 21 And the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > said 
<0559 >amar > unto Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > ,  when he saw <7200 
ra>ah > them ,  My father <1> ,  shall I smite <5221 nakah >  [ 
them ]  ?  shall I smite <5221 nakah >  [ them ]  ? 

 : 22 And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  Thou shalt not smite 
<5221 nakah >  [ them ]  : wouldest thou smite <5221 nakah > 
those whom <0834 >aher > thou hast taken captive <7617 shabah > 
with thy sword <2719 chereb > and with thy bow <7198 qesheth > ? 
 set <7760 suwm > bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > 
before <6440 paniym > them ,  that they may eat <0398 >akal > 
and drink <8354 shathah > ,  and go <3212 yalak > to their 
master <0113 >adown > . 

 : 23 And he prepared <3739 karah > great <1419 gadowl > 
provision <3740 kerah > for them : and when they had eaten <0398 
>akal > and drunk <8354 shathah > ,  he sent <7971 shalach > 
them away ,  and they went <3212 yalak > to their master <0113 
>adown > .  So the bands <1416 g@duwd > of Syria <0758 >Aram > 
came <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more into the land <0776 >erets

 : 24 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > 
this <3651 ken > ,  that Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > king <4428 
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 
kol > his host ,  and went <5927 <alah > up ,  and besieged 
<6696 tsuwr > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > . 

 : 25 And there was a great <1419 gadowl > famine <7458 ra<ab > 
in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  
they besieged <6696 tsuwr > it ,  until <5704 <ad > an ass s 
<2543 chamowr > head <7218 ro>sh > was  [ sold ]  for fourscore 
<8084 sh@moniym >  [ pieces ]  of silver <3701 keceph > ,  and 
the fourth <7255 roba< > part of a cab <6894 qab > of dove s 
<1686 dibyown > dung <2755 charey - yowniym > for five <2568 
chamesh >  [ pieces ]  of silver <3701 keceph > . 

 : 26 And as the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
was passing <5674 <abar > by upon the wall <2346 chowmah > ,  
there cried <6817 tsa<aq > a woman <0802 >ishshah > unto him ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Help <3467 yasha< > ,  my lord <0113 
>adown > ,  O king <4428 melek > . 

 : 27 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  If the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
do not help <3467 yasha< > thee ,  whence <0370 >aiyn > shall I 
help <3467 yasha< > thee ?  out of the barnfloor <1637 goren > , 
 or <0176 >ow > out of the winepress <3342 yeqeb > ? 

 : 28 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto her ,  
What <4100 mah > aileth thee ?  And she answered <0559 >amar > , 
 This <2063 zo>th > woman <0802 >ishshah > said <0559 >amar > 
unto me ,  Give <5414 nathan > thy son <1121 ben > ,  that we 
may eat <0398 >akal > him to day <3117 yowm > ,  and we will eat 
<0398 >akal > my son <1121 ben > to morrow <4279 machar > . 

 : 29 So we boiled <1310 bashal > my son <1121 ben > ,  and did 
eat <0398 >akal > him : and I said <0559 >amar > unto her on the 
next <0312 >acher > day <3117 yowm > ,  Give <5414 nathan > thy 
son <1121 ben > ,  that we may eat <0398 >akal > him : and she 
hath hid <2244> her son <1121 ben > . 

 : 30 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the king <4428 
melek > heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the 
woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes 
<0899 beged > ;  and he passed <5674 <abar > by upon the wall 
<2346 chowmah > ,  and the people <5971 <am > looked <7200 ra>ah

<8242 saq > within <1004 bayith > upon his flesh <1320 basar > . 

 : 31 Then he said <0559 >amar > ,  God <0430 >elohiym > do 
<6213 <asah > so <3541 koh > and more <3254 yacaph > also <3541

shall stand <5975 <amad > on <5921 <al > him this day <3117 yowm

 : 32 But Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > sat <3427 yashab > in his 
house <1004 bayith > ,  and the elders <2205 zaqen > sat <3427 
yashab > with him ;  and  [ the king ]  sent <7971 shalach > a

he said <0559 >amar > to the elders <2205 zaqen > ,  See <7200

 : 33 And while he yet <5750 <owd > talked <1696 dabar > with 
them ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the messenger <4397 mal>ak > 
came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > unto him : and he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  this <2063 zo>th > 
evil <7451 ra< >  [ is ]  of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  what 
<4100 mah > should I wait <3176 yachal > for the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > any longer <5750 <owd > ? 

 : 2Kings 7

 : 1 .  Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > ,  Hear 
<8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  To morrow <4279 machar > about this time <6256 <eth 
>  [ shall ]  a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth

<5429 c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 
sheqel > ,  in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > . 

 : 2 Then a lord <7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 
>aher > hand <3027 yad > the king <4428 melek > leaned <8172 
sha<an > answered <6030 <anah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > ,   [ if ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would make <6213 
<asah > windows <0699 >arubbah > in heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  
might this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > be ?  And he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou shalt see <7200 
ra>ah >  [ it ]  with thine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  but shalt not 
eat <0398 >akal > thereof . 

 : 3 .  And there were four <0702 >arba< > leprous <6879 tsara< 
> men <0582 >enowsh > at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the 
gate <8179 sha<ar > : and they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 
>iysh > to another <7453 rea< > ,  Why <4100 mah > sit <3427 
yashab > we here <6311 poh > until <5704 <ad > we die <4191 
muwth > ? 

 : 4 If <0518 >im > we say <0559 >amar > ,  We will enter <0935 
bow> > into the city <5892 <iyr > ,  then the famine <7458 ra<ab 
>  [ is ]  in the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and we shall die <4191 
muwth > there <8033 sham > : and if <0518 >im > we sit <3427 
yashab > still here <6311 poh > ,  we die <4191 muwth > also .  
Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > ,  and let us 
fall <5307 naphal > unto the host <4264 machaneh > of the 
Syrians <0758 >Aram > : if <0518 >im > they save <2421 chayah > 
us alive <2421 chayah > ,  we shall live <2421 chayah > ;  and 
if <0518 >im > they kill <4191 muwth > us ,  we shall but die 
<4191 muwth > . 

 : 5 And they rose <6965 quwm > up in the twilight <5399 nesheph 
> ,  to go <0935 bow> > unto the camp <4264 machaneh > of the 
Syrians <0758 >Aram > : and when they were come <0935 bow> > to 
the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the camp <4264 machaneh > 
of Syria <0758 >Aram > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ there 
<8033 sham > was ]  no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > there 
<8033 sham > . 

 : 6 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > had made the host <4264 
machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram > to hear <8085 shama< > a 
noise <6963 qowl > of chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and a noise 
<6963 qowl > of horses <5483 cuwc > ,   [ even ]  the noise 
<6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > host <2428 chayil > : and 
they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another <0250 
>Ezrachiy > ,  Lo <2009 hinneh > ,  the king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath hired <7936 sakar > against <5921 
<al > us the kings <4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy > 
,  and the kings <4428 melek > of the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim 
> ,  to come <0935 bow> > upon us . 

 : 7 Wherefore they arose <6965 quwm > and fled <5127 nuwc > in 
the twilight <5399 nesheph > ,  and left <5800 <azab > their 
tents <0168 >ohel > ,  and their horses <5483 cuwc > ,  and 
their asses <2543 chamowr > ,  even the camp <4264 machaneh > as 
it  [ was ]  ,  and fled <5127 nuwc > for their life <5315 
nephesh > . 

 : 8 And when <3588 kiy > these <0428 >el - leh > lepers <6879 
tsara< > came<0935 bow> > to the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part 
of the camp <4264 machaneh > ,  they went <0935 bow> > into 
<0413 >el > one <0259 >echad > tent <0168 >ohel > ,  and did eat 
<0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > ,  and carried <5375 
nasa> > thence <8033 sham > silver <3701 keceph > ,  and gold 
<2091 zahab > ,  and raiment <0899 beged > ,  and went <3212 
yalak > and hid <2934 taman >  [ it ]  ;  and came <7725 shuwb > 
again <7725 shuwb > ,  and entered <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > 
another <0312 >acher > tent <0168 >ohel > ,  and carried <5375 
nasa> > thence <8033 sham >  [ also ]  ,  and went <3212 yalak > 
and hid <2934 taman >  [ it ]  . 

 : 9 Then they said <0559 >amar > one <0376 >iysh > to another 
<7453 rea< > ,  We do <6213 <asah > not well <3651 ken > : this 
<1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm >  [ is ]  a day <3117 yowm > of 
good tidings <1309 b@sowrah > ,  and we hold <2814 chashah > our 
peace <2814 chashah > : if we tarry <2442 chakah > till <5704 
<ad > the morning <1242 boqer > light <0216 >owr > ,  some 
mischief <5771 <avon > will come <4672 matsa> > upon us : now 
<6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > ,  that we may go 
<0935 bow> > and tell <5046 nagad > the king s <4428 melek > 
household <1004 bayith > . 

 : 10 So they came <0935 bow> > and called <7121 qara> > unto 
the porter <7778 show<er > of the city <5892 <iyr > : and they 
told <5046 nagad > them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  We came <0935 
bow> > to the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram > 
,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ there <8033 sham > was ]  
no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > there <8033 sham > ,  neither 
<0369 >ayin > voice <6963 qowl > of man <0120 >adam > ,  but 
horses <5483 cuwc > tied <0631 >acar > ,  and asses <2543 
chamowr > tied <0631 >acar > ,  and the tents <0168 >ohel > as 
they  [ were ]  . 

 : 11 And he called <7121 qara> > the porters <7778 show<er > ;  
and they told <5046 nagad >  [ it ]  to the king s <4428 melek > 
house <1004 bayith > within <6441 p@niymah > . 

 : 12 .  And the king <4428 melek > arose <6965 quwm > in the 
night <3915 layil > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto his servants 
<5650 <ebed > ,  I will now <4994 na> > shew <5046 nagad > you 
what the Syrians <0758 >Aram > have done <6213 <asah > to us .  
They know <3045 yada< > that we  [ be ]  hungry <7456 ra<eb > ;  
therefore are they gone <3318 yatsa> > out of the camp <4264 
machaneh > to hide <2247 chabah > themselves in the field <7704 
sadeh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  When <3588 kiy > they come 
<3318 yatsa> > out of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  we shall catch 
<8610 taphas > them alive <2416 chay > ,  and get <0935 bow> > 
into <0413 >el > the city <5892 <iyr > . 

 : 13 And one <0259 >echad > of his servants <5650 <ebed > 
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let  [ some ]  
take <3947 laqach > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  five <2568 
chamesh > of the horses <5483 cuwc > that remain <7604 sha>ar > ,
  which <0834 >aher > are left <7604 sha>ar > in the city ,   ( 
behold ,  they  [ are ]  as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 
hamown > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that are left <7604 sha>ar > 
in it : behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ I say ]  ,  they  [ are ]  
even as all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > of the 
Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > that are consumed <8552 tamam > :  ) 
 and let us send <7971 shalach > and see <7200 ra>ah > . 

 : 14 They took <3947 laqach > therefore two <8147 sh@nayim > 
chariot <7393 rekeb > horses <5483 cuwc > ;  and the king <4428 
melek > sent <7971 shalach > after <0310 >achar > the host <4264 
machaneh > of the Syrians <0758 >Aram > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,
  Go <3212 yalak > and see <7200 ra>ah > . 

 : 15 And they went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > them unto 
Jordan <3383 Yarden > : and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  all <3605 
kol > the way <1870 derek >  [ was ]  full <4392 male> > of 
garments <0899 beged > and vessels <3627 k@liy > ,  which <0834 
>aher > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > had cast <7993 shalak > away 
in their haste <2648 chaphaz > .  And the messengers <4397 
mal>ak > returned <7725 shuwb > ,  and told <5046 nagad > the 
king <4428 melek > . 

 : 16 And the people <5971 <am > went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and 
spoiled <0962 bazaz > the tents <4264 machaneh > of the Syrians 
<0758 >Aram > .  So a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 
coleth > was  [ sold ]  for a shekel <8255 sheqel > ,  and two 
measures <5429 c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel 
<8255 sheqel > ,  according to the word <1697 dabar > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 17 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <6485 paqad > the 
lord <7991 shaliysh > on <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand 
<3027 yad > he leaned <8172 sha<an > to have the charge <5921 
<al > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > : and the people <5971 <am > 
trode <7429 ramac > upon him in the gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  and 
he died <4191 muwth > ,  as the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 
>elohiym > had said <1696 dabar > ,  who <0834 >aher > spake 
<1696 dabar > when the king <4428 melek > came <3381 yarad > 
down <3381 yarad > to him . 

 : 18 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass as the man <0376 >iysh > 
of God <0430 >elohiym > had spoken <1696 dabar > to the king 
<4428 melek > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Two measures <5429 
c@>ah > of barley <8184 s@<orah > for a shekel <8255 sheqel > ,  
and a measure <5429 c@>ah > of fine flour <5560 coleth > for a 
shekel <8255 sheqel > ,  shall be to morrow <4279 machar > about 
this time <6256 <eth > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Samaria 
<8111 Shom@rown > : 

 : 19 And that lord <7991 shaliysh > answered <6030 <anah > the 
man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and said <0559 
>amar > ,  Now ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ if ]  the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > should make <6213 <asah > windows <0699 >arubbah

<1697 dabar > be ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > it with thine eyes 
<5869 <ayin > ,  but shalt not eat <0398 >akal > thereof . 

 : 20 And so <3651 ken > it fell <1961 hayah > out unto him : 
for the people <5971 <am > trode <7429 ramac > upon him in the 
gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  and he died <4191 muwth > . 

 : 2Kings 8

 : 1 .  Then spake <1696 dabar > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > unto 
the woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  whose <0834 >aher > son <1121 ben

saying <0559 >amar > ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  and go <3212 yalak

guwr > wheresoever <0834 >aher > thou canst sojourn <1481 guwr > 
: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > for a 
famine <7458 ra<ab > ;  and it shall also <1571 gam > come <0935 
bow> > upon the land <0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > years 
<8141 shaneh > . 

 : 2 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > arose <6965 quwm > ,  and 
did <6213 <asah > after the saying <1697 dabar > of the man 
<0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > : and she went <3212 yalak

> in the land <0776 >erets > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy

 : 3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seven <7651 sheba<

<0802 >ishshah > returned <7725 shuwb > out of the land <0776 
>erets > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > : and she went 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to cry <6817 tsa<aq > unto 
the king <4428 melek > for her house <1004 bayith > and for her 
land <7704 sadeh > . 

 : 4 And the king <4428 melek > talked <1696 dabar > with Gehazi 
<1522 Geychaziy > the servant <5288 na<ar > of the man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Tell 
<5608 caphar > me ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  all <3605 kol > 
the great <1419 gadowl > things that Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > 
hath done <6213 <asah > . 

 : 5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as he was telling 
<5608 caphar > the king <4428 melek > how <0834 >aher > he had 
restored <2421 chayah > a dead <4191 muwth > body to life <2421 
chayah > ,  that ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the woman <0802 
>ishshah > ,  whose <0834 >aher > son <1121 ben > he had 
restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah > ,  cried <6817 
tsa<aq > to the king <4428 melek > for her house <1004 bayith > 
and for her land <7704 sadeh > .  And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > 
said <0559 >amar > ,  My lord <0113 >adown > ,  O king <4428 
melek > ,  this <2063 zo>th >  [ is ]  the woman <0802 >ishshah

<0834 >aher > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > restored <2421 chayah > 
to life <2421 chayah > . 

 : 6 And when the king <4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > the 
woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  she told <5608 caphar > him .  So the 
king <4428 melek > appointed <5414 nathan > unto her a certain 
<0259 >echad > officer <5631 cariyc > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  
Restore <7725 shuwb > all <3605 kol > that  [ was ]  hers ,  and 
all <3605 kol > the fruits <8393 t@buw>ah > of the field <7704 
sadeh > since the day <3117 yowm > that she left <5800 <azab > 
the land <0776 >erets > ,  even until <5704 <ad > now <6258 
<attah > . 

 : 7 .  And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > came <0935 bow> > to 
Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ;  and Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > 
the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > was sick <2470 
chalah > ;  and it was told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559 
>amar > ,  The man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > is come 
<0935 bow> > hither <2008 hennah > . 

 : 8 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Hazael 
<2371 Chaza>el > ,  Take <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah

<7125 qir>ah > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  
and enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by him ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Shall I recover <2421 chayah > of this 
<2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy > ? 

 : 9 So Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125 
qir>ah > him ,  and took <3947 laqach > a present <4503 minchah

of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  forty <0705 >arba<iym > camels 
<1581 gamal >  burden <4853 massa> > ,  and came <0935 bow> > 
and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Thy son <1121 ben > Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad 
> king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > hath sent <7971 
shalach > me to thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Shall I recover 
<2421 chayah > of this <2088 zeh > disease <2483 choliy > ? 

 : 10 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him , 
 Go <3212 yalak > ,  say <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thou mayest 
certainly recover <2421 chayah > : howbeit the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > hath shewed <7200 ra>ah > me that he shall surely die 
<4191 muwth > . 

 : 11 And he settled <5975 <amad > his countenance <6440 paniym 
> stedfastly <7760 suwm > ,  until <5704 <ad > he was ashamed 
<0954 buwsh > : and the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym

 : 12 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar > ,  Why 
<4069 madduwa< > weepeth <1058 bakah > my lord <0113 >adown > ?  
And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  Because <3588 kiy > I know 
<3045 yada< > the evil <7451 ra< > that thou wilt do <6213 <asah 
> unto the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : 
their strong <4013 mibtsar > holds <4013 mibtsar > wilt thou set 
<7971 shalach > on fire <0784 >esh > ,  and their young <0970 
bachuwr > men wilt thou slay <2026 harag > with the sword <2719 
chereb > ,  and wilt dash <7376 ratash > their children <6768 
Tseleq > ,  and rip <1234 baqa< > up their women with child 
<2030 hareh > . 

 : 13 And Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > said <0559 >amar > ,  But what 
<4100 mah > ,   [ is ]  thy servant <5650 <ebed > a dog <3611 
keleb > ,  that he should do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > 
great <1419 gadowl > thing <1697 dabar > ?  And Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > answered <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
hath shewed <7200 ra>ah > me that thou  [ shalt be ]  king <4428 
melek > over <5921 <al > Syria <0758 >Aram > . 

 : 14 So he departed <3212 yalak > from Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > 
,  and came <0935 bow> > to his master <0113 >adown > ;  who 
<4310 miy > said <0559 >amar > to him ,  What <4100 mah > said 
<0559 >amar > Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > to thee ?  And he 
answered <0559 >amar > ,  He told <0559 >amar > me  [ that ]  
thou shouldest surely recover <2421 chayah > . 

 : 15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283 
mochorath > ,  that he took <3947 laqach > a thick cloth <4346 
makbar > ,  and dipped <2881 tabal >  [ it ]  in water <4325 
mayim > ,  and spread <6566 paras >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > his 
face <6440 paniym > ,  so that he died <4191 muwth > : and 
Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 
tachath > . 

 : 16 .  And in the fifth <2568 chamesh > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Joram <3141 Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Jehoshaphat 
<3092 Y@howshaphat >  [ being ]  then king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > the son <1121 
ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak > . 

 : 17 Thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > years 
<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign 
<4427 malak > ;  and he reigned <4427 malak > eight <8083 
sh@moneh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

 : 18 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of 
the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  as did 
<6213 <asah > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > : 
for the daughter <1323 bath > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > was his 
wife <0802 >ishshah > : and he did evil <7451 ra< > in the sight 
<5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 19 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > would <14> not destroy <7843 
shachath > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > for David <1732 David > his 
servant s <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  as he promised 
<0559 >amar > him to give <5414 nathan > him alway a light <5216 
niyr > ,   [ and ]  to his children <1121 ben > . 

 : 20 In his days <3117 yowm > Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586 
pasha< > from under <8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and made a king <4428 melek > over 
<5921 <al > themselves <1992 hem > . 

 : 21 So Joram <3141 Yowram > went <5674 <abar > over <5674 
<abar > to Zair ,  and all <3605 kol > the chariots <7393 rekeb

and smote <5221 nakah > the Edomites <0130 >Edomiy > which 
compassed <5437 cabab > him about <0413 >el > ,  and the 
captains <8269 sar > of the chariots <7393 rekeb > : and the 
people <5971 <am > fled <5127 nuwc > into their tents <0168 
>ohel > . 

 : 22 Yet Edom <0123 >Edom > revolted <6586 pasha< > from under 
<8478 tachath > the hand <3027 yad > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
unto this day <3117 yowm > .  Then <0227 >az > Libnah <3841 
Libnah > revolted <6586 pasha< > at the same <1931 huw> > time 
<6256 <eth > . 

 : 23 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Joram <3141 Yowram > ,  and all <3605 kol > that he did ,   [ 
are ]  they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ? 

 : 24 And Joram <3141 Yowram > 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 Ahaziah 
<0274 >Achazyah > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in 
his stead <8478 tachath > . 

 : 25 .  In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3141 
Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > 
the son <1121 ben > of Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > king <4428 melek

 : 26 Two <8147 sh@nayim > and twenty <6242 <esriym > years 
<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >  [ was ]  Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah

<0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > .  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > 
 [ was ]  Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > ,  the daughter <1323 bath

Yisra>el > . 

 : 27 And he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of 
the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > ,  and did 
<6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  as  [ did ]  the house <1004 bayith > of 
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > : for he  [ was ]  the son <2860 chathan > 
in law <2859 chathan > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab > . 

 : 28 And he went <3212 yalak > with Joram <3141 Yowram > the 
son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > to the war <4421 
milchamah > against <5973 <im > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king 
<4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > in Ramothgilead <7433 
Ramowth > ;  and the Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > wounded <5221 
nakah > Joram <3141 Yowram > . 

 : 29 And king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram > went <7725 
shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > to be healed <7495 rapha> > in 
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which 
<0834 >aher > the Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > had given <5221 nakah

against Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria 
<0758 >Aram > .  And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben

Y@huwdah > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 
ra>ah > Joram <3141 Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256

was sick <2470 chalah > . 

 : 2Kings 9

 : 1 .  And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > 
called <7121 qara> > one <0259 >echad > of the children <1121 
ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and said <0559 >amar > 
unto him ,  Gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen > ,  
and take <3947 laqach > this <2088 zeh > box <6378 pak > of oil 
<8081 shemen > in thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and go <3212 yalak > 
to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > : 

 : 2 And when thou comest <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > ,  
look <7200 ra>ah > out there <8033 sham > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > 
the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > the son 
<1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy > ,  and go <0935 bow> > in ,
  and make him arise <6965 quwm > up from among <8432 tavek > 
his brethren <0251 >ach > ,  and carry <0935 bow> > him to an 
inner <2315 cheder > chamber <2315 cheder > ; 

 : 3 Then take <3947 laqach > the box <6378 pak > of oil <8081 
shemen > ,  and pour <3332 yatsaq >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > his 
head <7218 ro>sh > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I have anointed 
<4886 mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over <5921 <al > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > .  Then open <6605 pathach > the door <1817 
deleth > ,  and flee <5127 nuwc > ,  and tarry <2442 chakah > 
not . 

 : 4 So the young <5288 na<ar > man ,   [ even ]  the young 
<5288 na<ar > man <0376 >iysh > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  
went <3212 yalak > to Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > . 

 : 5 And when <3588 kiy > he came <0935 bow> > ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  the captains <8269 sar > of the host <2428 chayil >  
[ were ]  sitting <3427 yashab > ;  and he said <0559 >amar > ,  
I have an errand <1697 dabar > to thee ,  O captain <8269 sar > .
  And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > ,  Unto which <4310 
miy > of all <3605 kol > us ?  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  To 
thee ,  O captain <8269 sar > . 

 : 6 And he arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <0935 bow> > into the 
house <1004 bayith > ;  and he poured <3332 yatsaq > the oil 
<8081 shemen > on <0413 >el > his head <7218 ro>sh > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  I have anointed <4886 mashach > thee king <4428 
melek > over <0413 >el > the people <5971 <am > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ even ]  over <0413 >el > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > . 

 : 7 And thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > the house <1004 bayith > 
of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > thy master <0113 >adown > ,  that I may 
avenge <5358 naqam > the blood <1818 dam > of my servants <5650 
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and the blood <1818 dam > 
of all <3605 kol > the servants <5650 <ebed > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  at the hand <3027 yad > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > 
. 

 : 8 For the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > shall perish <6> : and I will cut <3772 karath > 
off from Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > him that pisseth <8366 shathan > 
against the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and him that is shut <6113 
<atsar > up and left in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : 

 : 9 And I will make <5414 nathan > the house <1004 bayith > of 
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > 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 > : 

 : 10 And the dogs <3611 keleb > shall eat <0398 >akal > Jezebel 
<0348 >Iyzebel > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel <3157 
Yizr@<e>l > ,  and  [ there shall be ]  none <0369 >ayin > to 
bury <6912 qabar >  [ her ]  .  And he opened <6605 pathach > 
the door <1817 deleth > ,  and fled <5127 nuwc > . 

 : 11 .  Then Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > came <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > to the servants <5650 <ebed > of his lord <0113 
>adown > : and  [ one ]  said <0559 >amar > unto him ,   [ Is ]  
all well <7965 shalowm > ?  wherefore <4069 madduwa< > came 
<0935 bow> > this <2088 zeh > mad <7696 shaga< >  [ fellow ]  to 
thee ?  And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Ye know <3045 
yada< > the man <0376 >iysh > ,  and his communication <7879 
siyach > . 

 : 12 And they said <0559 >amar > ,   [ It is ]  false <8267 
sheqer > ;  tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> > .  And he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Thus <2063 zo>th > and thus <2063 zo>th > spake 
<0559 >amar > he to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh

anointed <4886 mashach > thee king <4428 melek > over <0413 >el

 : 13 Then they hasted <4116 mahar > ,  and took <3947 laqach > 
every man <0376 >iysh > his garment <0899 beged > ,  and put 
<7760 suwm >  [ it ]  under <8478 tachath > him on <0413 >el > 
the top <1634 gerem > of the stairs <4609 ma<alah > ,  and blew 
<8628 taqa< > with trumpets <7782 showphar > ,  saying <0559 
>amar > ,  Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > is king <4427 malak > . 

 : 14 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoshaphat 
<3092 Y@howshaphat > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 Nimshiy

Yowram > .   ( Now Joram <3141 Yowram > had kept <8104 shamar > 
Ramothgilead <7433 Ramowth > ,  he and all <3605 kol > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ,  because <6440 paniym > of Hazael <2371 
Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > . 

 : 15 But king <4428 melek > Joram <3188 yachas > was returned 
<7725 shuwb > to be healed <7495 rapha> > in Jezreel <3157 
Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which <0834 >aher > the 
Syrians <0761 >Arammiy > had given <5221 nakah > him ,  when he 
fought <3898 lacham > with Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > .  )  And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > 
said <0559 >amar > ,  If <0518 >im > it be your minds <5315 
nephesh > ,   [ then ]  let none <0408 >al > go <3318 yatsa> > 
forth <3318 yatsa> >  [ nor ]  escape <6412 paliyt > out of the 
city <5892 <iyr > to go <3212 yalak > to tell <5046 nagad >  [ 
it ]  in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > . 

 : 16 .  So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > rode <7392 rakab > in a chariot ,
  and went <3212 yalak > to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ;  for 
Joram <3141 Yowram > lay <7901 shakab > there <8033 sham > .  
And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > was come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see 
<7200 ra>ah > Joram <3141 Yowram > . 

 : 17 And there stood <5975 <amad > a watchman <6822 tsaphah > 
on <5921 <al > the tower <4026 migdal > in Jezreel <3157 
Yizr@<e>l > ,  and he spied <7200 ra>ah > the company <8229 
shiph<ah > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > as he came <0935 bow> > ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > ,  I see <7200 ra>ah > a company <8229 
shiph<ah > .  And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar > ,  
Take <3947 laqach > an horseman <7395 rakkab > ,  and send <7971 
shalach > to meet <7125 qir>ah > them ,  and let him say <0559 
>amar > ,   [ Is it ]  peace <7965 shalowm > ? 

 : 18 So there went <3212 yalak > one on horseback to meet <7125 
qir>ah > him ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > ,   [ Is it ]  peace <7965 
shalowm > ?  And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > ,  What 
<4100 mah > hast thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm > ?  turn 
<5437 cabab > thee behind <0310 >achar > me .  And the watchman 
<6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  
The messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to them ,  but he 
cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb > . 

 : 19 Then he sent <7971 shalach > out a second <8145 sheniy > 
on horseback ,  which came <0935 bow> > to them ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king 
<4428 melek > ,   [ Is it ]  peace <7965 shalowm > ?  And Jehu 
<3058 Yehuw> > answered <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > hast 
thou to do with peace <7965 shalowm > ?  turn <5437 cabab > thee 
behind <0310 >achar > me . 

 : 20 And the watchman <6822 tsaphah > told <5046 nagad > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  He came <0935 bow> > even unto them ,  
and cometh <7725 shuwb > not again <7725 shuwb > : and the 
driving <4491 minhag >  [ is ]  like the driving <4491 minhag > 
of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > the son <1121 ben > of Nimshi <5250 
Nimshiy > ;  for he driveth <5090 nahag > furiously <7697 
shigga<own > . 

 : 21 And Joram <3188 yachas > said <0559 >amar > ,  Make ready 
<0631 >acar > .  And his chariot <7393 rekeb > was made ready 
<0631 >acar > .  And Joram <3188 yachas > king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  
each <0376 >iysh > in his chariot <7393 rekeb > ,  and they went 
<3318 yatsa> > out against <7125 qir>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > ,  
and met <4672 matsa> > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of 
Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 Yizr@<e>liy > . 

 : 22 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Joram <3188 
yachas > saw <7200 ra>ah > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > ,  that he said 
<0559 >amar > ,   [ Is it ]  peace <7965 shalowm > ,  Jehu <3058 
Yehuw> > ?  And he answered <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > 
peace <7965 shalowm > ,  so long <5704 <ad > as the whoredoms 
<2183 zanuwn > of thy mother <0517 >em > Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel

 : 23 And Joram <3188 yachas > turned <2015 haphak > his hands 
<3027 yad > ,  and fled <5127 nuwc > ,  and said <0559 >amar > 
to Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > ,   [ There is ]  treachery <4820 
mirmah > ,  O Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > . 

 : 24 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > drew a bow <7198 qesheth > with 
his full <4390 male> > strength <3027 yad > ,  and smote <5221 
nakah > Jehoram <3088 Y@howram > between <0996 beyn > his arms 
<2220 z@rowa< > ,  and the arrow <2678 chitstsiy > went <3318 
yatsa> > out at his heart <3820 leb > ,  and he sunk <3766 kara<

 : 25 Then said <0559 >amar >  [ Jehu ]  to Bidkar <0920 Bidqar

 : 27 But when Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the king <4428 melek > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ this ]  ,  he 
fled <5127 nuwc > by the way <1870 derek > of the garden <1588

<7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > him ,  and said <0559 >amar

<4818 merkabah > .   [ And they did so ]  at the going <4608 
ma<aleh > up to Gur <1483 Guwr > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  
by Ibleam <2991 Yibl@<am > .  And he fled <5127 nuwc > to 
Megiddo <4023 M@giddown > ,  and died <4191 muwth > there <8033 
sham > . 

 : 28 And his servants <5650 <ebed > carried <7392 rakab > him 
in a chariot to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and buried 
<6912 qabar > him in his sepulchre <6900 q@buwrah > with his 
fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > . 

 : 29 And in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Joram <3188 
yachas > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > began 
Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > to reign <4427 malak > over <5921 <al

 : 30 .  And when Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > was come <0935 bow> > to 
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ,  Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > heard 
<8085 shama< >  [ of it ]  ;  and she painted her face <5869

looked <8259 shaqaph > out at <1157 b@<ad > a window <2474

 : 31 And as Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > entered <0935 bow> > in at the

<2174 Zimriy > peace <7965 shalowm > ,  who slew <2026 harag > 
his master <0113 >adown > ? 

 : 32 And he lifted <5375 nasa> > up his face <6440 paniym > to 
the window <2474 challown > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Who 
<4310 miy >  [ is ]  on <0854 >eth > my side ?  who <4310 miy > 
?  And there looked <8259 shaqaph > out to him two <8147

 : 33 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Throw <8058 shamat > her down 
<8058 shamat > .  So they threw <8058 shamat > her down <8058 
shamat > : and  [ some ]  of her blood <1818 dam > was sprinkled 
<5137 nazah > on <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and on 
<0413 >el > the horses <5483 cuwc > : and he trode <7429 ramac > 
her under foot . 

 : 34 And when he was come <0935 bow> > in ,  he did eat <0398

Go <6485 paqad > ,  see now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th > 
cursed <0779 >arar >  [ woman ]  ,  and bury <6912 qabar > her : 
for she  [ is ]  a king s <4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath > . 

 : 35 And they went <3212 yalak > to bury <6912 qabar > her : 
but they found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > more of her than 
the skull <1538 gulgoleth > ,  and the feet <7272 regel > ,  and 
the palms <3709 kaph > of  [ her ]  hands <3027 yad > . 

 : 36 Wherefore they came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > ,  
and told <5046 nagad > him .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  This 
<1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

 : 2Kings 10

 : 1 .  And Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > had seventy <7657 shib<iym .  > 
sons <1121 ben > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .  And Jehu <3058 
Yehuw> > wrote <3789 kathab > letters <5612 cepher > ,  and sent 
<7971 shalach > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  unto the rulers

 : 2 Now <6258 <attah > as soon as this <2088 zeh > letter <5612 
cepher > cometh <0935 bow> > to you ,  seeing your master s

armour <5402 nesheq > ; 

 : 3 Look <7200 ra>ah > even out the best <2896 towb > and

<1121 ben > ,  and set <7760 suwm >  [ him ]  on <5921 <al > his 
father s <1> throne <3678 kicce> > ,  and fight <3898 lacham > 
for your master s <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith > . 

 : 4 But they were exceedingly <3966 m@<od > afraid <3372 yare>

<5975 <amad > ? 

 : 5 And he that  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > the house <1004 
bayith > ,  and he that  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > the city 
<5892 <iyr > ,  the elders <2205 zaqen > also ,  and the 
bringers <0539 >aman > up  [ of the children ]  ,  sent <7971 
shalach > to Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  We  
[ are ]  thy servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and will do <6213 <asah > 
all <3605 kol > that thou shalt bid <0559 >amar > us ;  we will

thou  [ that which is ]  good <2896 towb > in thine eyes <5869

 : 6 Then he wrote <3789 kathab > a letter <5612 cepher > the 
second <8145 sheniy > time to them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  If 
<0518 >im > ye  [ be ]  mine ,  and  [ if <0518 >im > ]  ye will

 : 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when the letter <5612

laqach > the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > ,  and slew

<1731 duwd > ,  and sent <7971 shalach > him  [ them ]  to 
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > . 

 : 8 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak > ,  
and told <5046 nagad > him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  They have 
brought <0935 bow> > the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the king s <4428

<7760 suwm > ye them in two <8147 sh@nayim > heaps <6632 tsab > 
at the entering <6607 pethach > in of the gate <8179 sha<ar > 
until <5704 <ad > the morning <1242 boqer > . 

 : 9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the morning <1242 
boqer > ,  that he went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and stood <5975 
<amad > ,  and said <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people 
<5971 <am > ,  Ye  [ be ]  righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > : behold 
<2009 hinneh > ,  I conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al >

<4310 miy > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el -

 : 10 Know <3045 yada< > now <0645 >ephow > that there shall 
fall <5307 naphal > unto the earth <0776 >erets > nothing <3808

 [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his

 : 11 So Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > 
that remained <7604 sha>ar > of the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab 
<0256 >Ach>ab > in Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ,  and all <3605

left <7604 sha>ar > him none <1115 biltiy > remaining <8300

 : 12 And he arose <6965 quwm > and departed <0935 bow> > ,  and 
came <1980 halak > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .   [ And ]  as 
he  [ was ]  at the shearing house <1004 bayith > in the way 
<1870 derek > , 

 : 13 Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > met <4672 matsa> > with the brethren 
<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Who <4310

are ]  the brethren <0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > ;  
and we go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to salute <7965 
shalowm > the children <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > and 
the children <1121 ben > of the queen <1377 g@biyrah > . 

 : 14 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Take <8610 taphas > them 
alive <2416 chay > .  And they took <8610 taphas > them alive 
<2416 chay > ,  and slew <7819 shachat > them at the pit <0953 
bowr > of the shearing <1044 Beyth <Eqed > house <1004 bayith > ,
   [ even ]  two <8147 sh@nayim > and forty <0705 >arba<iym > 
men <0376 >iysh > ;  neither <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > he 
any <0376 >iysh > of them . 

 : 15 .  And when he was departed <3212 yalak > thence <8033 
sham > ,  he lighted <4672 matsa> > on <0854 >eth > Jehonadab 
<3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >  
[ coming ]  to meet <7125 qir>ah > him : and he saluted <1288 
barak > him ,  and said <0559 >amar > to him ,  Is thine heart 
<3824 lebab > right <3225 yamiyn > ,  as my heart <3824 lebab >  
[ is ]  with thy heart <3824 lebab > ?  And Jehonadab <3082 
Y@hownadab > answered <0559 >amar > ,  It is .  If it be ,  give 
<5414 nathan >  [ me ]  thine hand <3027 yad > .  And he gave 
<5414 nathan >  [ him ]  his hand <3027 yad > ;  and he took 
<5927 <alah > him up to him into <0413 >el > the chariot <4818 
merkabah > . 

 : 16 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Come <3212 yalak > with me ,  
and see <7200 ra>ah > my zeal <7068 qin>ah > for the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > .  So they made him ride <7392 rakab > in his chariot 
<7393 rekeb > . 

 : 17 And when he came <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > 
,  he slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > that remained <7604 
sha>ar > unto Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,
  till <5704 <ad > he had destroyed <8045 shamad > him ,  
according to the saying <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 : 18 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > gathered <6908 qabats > all <3605 
kol > the people <5971 <am > together ,  and said <0559 >amar > 
unto them ,  Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > served <5647 <abad > Baal

 : 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore call <7121 qara> > unto me 
all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al

zebach >  [ to do ]  to Baal <1168 Ba<al > ;  whosoever shall be 
wanting <6485 paqad > ,  he shall not live <2421 chayah > .  But 
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > did <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  in subtilty <6122 
<oqbah > ,  to the intent <4616 ma<an > that he might destroy

 : 20 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar > ,  Proclaim 
<6942 qadash > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah

it ]  . 

 : 21 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > sent <7971 shalach > through all 
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and all <3605 kol > the 
worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > came <0935 bow>

the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ;  and the house 
<1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > was full <4390 male> > from 
one end <6310 peh > to another . 

 : 22 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him that  [ was ]  over 
<5921 <al > the vestry <4458 meltachah > ,  Bring <3318 yatsa> > 
forth <3318 yatsa> > vestments <3830 l@buwsh > for all <3605 kol

brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > vestments <4403 
malbuwsh > . 

 : 23 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > went <0935 bow> > ,  and Jehonadab 
<3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > , 
 into the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and said 
<0559 >amar > unto the worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 
Ba<al > ,  Search <2664 chaphas > ,  and look <7200 ra>ah > that 
there be here <6311 poh > with you none of the servants <5650 
<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  but the worshippers <5647 
<abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > only <0905 bad > . 

 : 24 And when <3588 kiy > they went <0935 bow> > in to offer 
<6213 <asah > sacrifices <2077 zebach > and burnt <5930 <olah > 
offerings ,  Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > appointed <7760 suwm > 
fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > men <0376 >iysh > without <2351

<0582 >enowsh > whom <0834 >aher > I have brought <0935 bow> > 
into <5921 <al > your hands <3027 yad > escape <4422 malat > ,   
[ he that letteth him go ]  ,  his life <2421 chayah >  [ shall 
be ]  for the life <5315 nephesh > of him . 

 : 25 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as soon as he had 
made an end <3615 kalah > of offering <6213 <asah > the burnt 
<5930 <olah > offering ,  that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559

shaliysh > ,  Go <0935 bow> > in ,   [ and ]  slay <5221 nakah > 
them ;  let none <0408 >al > come <3381 yarad > forth <3318 
yatsa> > .  And they smote <5221 nakah > them with the edge 
<6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and the guard <7323 
ruwts > and the captains <7991 shaliysh > cast <7993 shalak >  [ 
them ]  out ,  and went <3212 yalak > to the city <5892 <iyr > 
of the house <1004 bayith > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > . 

 : 26 And they brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the 
images <4676 matstsebah > out of the house <1004 bayith > of 
Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and burned <8313 saraph > them . 

 : 27 And they brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the 
image <4676 matstsebah > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and brake 
<5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the house <1004 bayith > of 
Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and made <7760 suwm > it a draught <4280

 : 28 Thus <3541 koh > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > destroyed <8045 
shamad > Baal <1168 Ba<al > out of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 29 .  Howbeit  [ from ]  the sins <2399 chet> > 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

 : 30 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Jehu 
<3058 Yehuw> > ,  Because thou hast done well <2895 towb > in 
executing <6213 <asah >  [ that which is ]  right <3225 yamiyn >

unto the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > according

thy children <1121 ben > of the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy >  [

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440

hearkened <8085 shama< > unto him : for the king <4428 melek > 
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > went <5927 <alah > up against <0413

Tiglathpileser <8407 Tiglath Pil>ecer > king <4428 melek > of

and king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > sent <7971 shalach >

workmanship <4639 ma<aseh > thereof . 

 : 11 And Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest <3548 kohen > built 
<1129 banah > an altar <4196 mizbeach > according to all <3605 
kol > that king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > had sent <7971

Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  the king <4428 melek > saw <7200 
ra>ah > the altar <4196 mizbeach > : and the king <4428 melek > 
approached <7126 qarab > to the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  and 
offered <5927 <alah > thereon <5921 <al > . 

 : 13 And he burnt <6999 qatar > his burnt <6999 qatar > 
offering and his meat offering <4503 minchah > ,  and poured 
<5258 nacak > his drink <5262 necek > offering ,  and sprinkled

nathan > it on <5921 <al > the north <6828 tsaphown > side <3409

 : 15 And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > commanded <6680 
tsavah > Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Upon the great <1419 gadowl > altar

<3548 kohen > ,  according to all <3605 kol > that king <4428 
melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > commanded <6680 tsavah > . 

 : 17 .  And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > cut <7112 
qatsats > off the borders <4526 micgereth > of the bases <4350 
m@kownah > ,  and removed <5493 cuwr > the laver <3595 kiyowr >

house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for the king

 : 19 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

fathers <1> ,  and was buried <6912 qabar > with his fathers <1> 
in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > : and Hezekiah

 : 2Kings 17

 : 1 .  In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz

 : 2 And he did <6213 <asah >  [ that which was ]  evil <7451 
ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
but not as the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
that were before <6440 paniym > him . 

 : 3 Against <5921 <al > him came <5927 <alah > up Shalmaneser

his servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and gave <7725 shuwb > him presents 
<4503 minchah > . 

 : 4 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
found <4672 matsa> > conspiracy <7195 qesher > in Hoshea <1954 
Howshea< > : for he had sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 
mal>ak > to So <5471 Cow> > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim > ,  and brought <5927 <alah > no <3808 lo> > present

<8141 shaneh > : therefore the king <4428 melek > of Assyria 
<0804 >Ashshuwr > shut <6113 <atsar > him up ,  and bound <0631

 : 5 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
came <5927 <alah > up throughout all <3605 kol > the land <0776

<8141 shaneh > . 

 : 6 In the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 
>Ashshuwr > took <3920 lakad > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  and 
carried <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > away <1540 galah > 
into Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  and placed <3427 yashab > them 
in Halah <2477 Chalach > and in Habor <2249 Chabowr >  [ by ]  
the river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan > ,  and in the 
cities <5892 <iyr > of the Medes <4074 Maday > . 

 : 7 .  For  [ so ]  it was ,  that the children <1121 ben > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > had sinned <2398 chata> > against the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > ,  which had 
brought <5927 <alah > them up out of the land <0776 >erets > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  from under <8478 tachath > the hand 
<3027 yad > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and had feared <3372 yare> > other 
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > , 

 : 8 And walked <3212 yalak > in the statutes <2708 chuqqah > of 
the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and of the 
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  which <0834 
>aher > they had made <6213 <asah > . 

 : 9 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did 
secretly <2644 chapha> >  [ those ]  things <1697 dabar > that  
[ were ]  not right <3651 ken > against <5921 <al > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and they built 
<1129 banah > them high <1116 bamah > places in all <3605 kol > 
their cities <5892 <iyr > ,  from the tower <4026 migdal > of 
the watchmen <5341 natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city 
<5892 <iyr > . 

 : 10 And they set <5324 natsab > them up images <4676 
matstsebah > and groves <0842 >asherah > in every <3605 kol > 
high <1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > ,  and under <8478 
tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086

 : 11 And there <8033 sham > they burnt <6999 qatar > incense 
<6999 qatar > in all <3605 kol > the high <1116 bamah > places , 
 as  [ did ]  the heathen <1471 gowy > whom <0834 >aher > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > 
before <6440 paniym > them ;  and wrought <6213 <asah > wicked 
<7451 ra< > things <1697 dabar > to provoke the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > to anger <3707 ka<ac > : 

 : 12 For they served <5647 <abad > idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  
whereof <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had said <0559 
>amar > unto them ,  Ye shall not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 
zeh > thing <1697 dabar > . 

 : 13 Yet the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > testified <5749 <uwd > 
against Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and against Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > ,  by all <3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,   
[ and by ]  all <3605 kol > the seers <2374 chozeh > ,  saying 
<0559 >amar > ,  Turn <7725 shuwb > ye from your evil <7451 ra<

<4687 mitsvah >  [ and ]  my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  
according to all <3605 kol > the law <8451 towrah > which <0834

<0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > to you by my servants <5650 
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > . 

 : 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear <8085 shama< > ,  but 
hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph > ,  like to 
the neck <6203 <oreph > of their fathers <1> ,  that did not 
believe <0539 >aman > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God 
<0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 15 And they rejected <3988 ma>ac > his statutes <2706 choq > ,
  and his covenant <1285 b@riyth > that he made <3772 karath > 
with their fathers <1> ,  and his testimonies <5715> which <0834

followed vanity <1892 hebel > ,  and became <1891 habal > vain 
<1891 habal > ,  and went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the 
heathen <1471 gowy > that  [ were ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about 
them ,   [ concerning ]  whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > had charged <6680 tsavah > them ,  that they should 
not do <6213 <asah > like them . 

 : 16 And they left <5800 <azab > all <3605 kol > the 
commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their 
God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and made <6213 <asah > them molten <4541 
maccekah > images ,   [ even ]  two <8147 sh@nayim > calves 
<5695 <egel > ,  and made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah > 
,  and worshipped <7812 shachah > all <3605 kol > the host <6635 
tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and served <5647 <abad > 
Baal <1168 Ba<al > . 

 : 17 And they caused their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters 
<1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the fire <0784 >esh > ,
  and used divination <7081 qecem > and enchantments <5172 
nachash > ,  and sold <4376 makar > themselves to do <6213 <asah

Y@hovah > ,  to provoke him to anger <3707 ka<ac > . 

 : 18 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was very <3966 m@<od > 
angry <0599 >anaph > with Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and removed 
<5493 cuwr > them out of his sight <6440 paniym > : there was 
none <3808 lo> > left <7604 sha>ar > but the tribe <7626 shebet

 : 19 Also <1571 gam > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > kept <8104 shamar

statutes <2708 chuqqah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > which <0834 
>aher > they made <6213 <asah > . 

 : 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rejected <3988 ma>ac > all 
<3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  
and afflicted <6031 <anah > them ,  and delivered <5414 nathan > 
them into the hand <3027 yad > of spoilers <8154 shacah > ,  
until <5704 <ad > he had cast <7993 shalak > them out of his 
sight <6440 paniym > . 

 : 21 For he rent <7167 qara< > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from the 
house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > ;  and they made 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 
N@bat > king <4427 malak > : and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > drave 
<5071 n@dabah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from following <0310 
>achar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and made them sin <2398 
chata> > a great <1419 gadowl > sin <2401 chata>ah > . 

 : 22 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
walked <3212 yalak > in all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 chatta>ah

<asah > ;  they departed <5493 cuwr > not from them ; 

 : 23 Until <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > removed <5493 
cuwr > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of his sight <6440 paniym > , 
 as he had said <1696 dabar > by all <3605 kol > his servants 
<5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > .  So was Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > out of their 
own land <0127 >adamah > to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > unto this 
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 24 .  And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
brought <0935 bow> >  [ men ]  from Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and 
from Cuthah <3575 Kuwth > ,  and from Ava <5755 <Ivvah > ,  and 
from Hamath <2574 Chamath > ,  and from Sepharvaim <5617 
C@pharvayim > ,  and placed <3427 yashab >  [ them ]  in the 
cities <5892 <iyr > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > instead <8478 
tachath > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
: and they possessed <3423 yarash > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  
and dwelt <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof . 

 : 25 And  [ so ]  it was at the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of 
their dwelling <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > ,   [ that ]  
they feared <3372 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : 
therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > lions 
<0738 >ariy > among them ,  which slew <2026 harag >  [ some ]  
of them . 

 : 26 Wherefore they spake <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek 
> of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The 
nations <1471 gowy > which <0834 >aher > thou hast removed <1540 
galah > ,  and placed <3427 yashab > in the cities <5892 <iyr > 
of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  know <3045 yada< > not the 
manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of the land 
<0776 >erets > : therefore he hath sent <7971 shalach > lions 
<0738 >ariy > among them ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they 
slay <4191 muwth > them ,  because <0834 >aher > they know <3045 
yada< > not the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 >elohiym 
> of the land <0776 >erets > . 

 : 27 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
commanded <6680 tsavah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Carry <1980 
halak > thither <8033 sham > one <0259 >echad > of the priests 
<3548 kohen > whom <0834 >aher > ye brought <1540 galah > from 
thence <8033 sham > ;  and let them go <3212 yalak > and dwell 
<3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > ,  and let him teach <3384 
yarah > them the manner <4941 mishpat > of the God <0430 
>elohiym > of the land <0776 >erets > . 

 : 28 Then one <0259 >echad > of the priests <3548 kohen > whom 
<0834 >aher > they had carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > 
from Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > came <0935 bow> > and dwelt <3427 
yashab > in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  and taught <3384 yarah

<3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 29 Howbeit every nation <1471 gowy > made <6213 <asah > gods 
<0430 >elohiym > of their own ,  and put <3240 yanach >  [ them 
]  in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places 
which <0834 >aher > the Samaritans <8118 Shom@roniy > had made 
<6213 <asah > ,  every nation <1471 gowy > in their cities <5892 
<iyr > wherein they dwelt <3427 yashab > . 

 : 30 And the men <0582 >enowsh > of Babylon <0894 Babel > made 
<6213 <asah > Succothbenoth <5524 Cukkowth b@nowth > ,  and the 
men <0582 >enowsh > of Cuth <3575 Kuwth > made <6213 <asah > 
Nergal <5370 Nergal > ,  and the men <0582 >enowsh > of Hamath 
<2574 Chamath > made <6213 <asah > Ashima <0807 >Ashiyma> > , 

 : 31 And the Avites <5757 <Avviy > made <6213 <asah > Nibhaz 
<5026 Nibchaz > and Tartak <8662 Tartaq > ,  and the Sepharvites 
<5616 C@pharviy > burnt <8313 saraph > their children <1121 ben

Anammelech <6048 <Anammelek > ,  the gods <0430 >elohiym > of 
Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim > . 

 : 32 So they feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
and made <6213 <asah > unto themselves of the lowest <7098 
qatsah > of them priests <3548 kohen > of the high <1116 bamah > 
places ,  which <1961 hayah > sacrificed <6213 <asah > for them 
in the houses <1004 bayith > of the high <1116 bamah > places . 

 : 33 They feared <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and 
served <5647 <abad > their own gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  after 
the manner <4941 mishpat > of the nations <1471 gowy > whom 
<0834 >aher > they carried <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > from 
thence <8033 sham > . 

 : 34 Unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they do <6213 <asah

they fear <3373 yare> > not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  neither 
<0369 >ayin > do <6213 <asah > they after their statutes <2708 
chuqqah > ,  or after their ordinances <4941 mishpat > ,  or 
after <0310 >achar > the law <8451 towrah > and commandment 
<4687 mitsvah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
commanded <6680 tsavah > the children <1121 ben > of Jacob <3290 
Ya<aqob > ,  whom <0834 >aher > he named <8034 shem > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ; 

 : 35 With whom the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had made <3772 karath > 
a covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  and charged <6680 tsavah > them ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  Ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other 
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  nor <3808 lo> > bow 
<7812 shachah > yourselves to them ,  nor <3808 lo> > serve 
<5647 <abad > them ,  nor <3808 lo> > sacrifice <2076 zabach > 
to them : 

 : 36 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  who <0834 >aher > brought 
<5927 <alah > you up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim > with great <1419 gadowl > power <3581 koach > 
and a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  him 
shall ye fear <3372 yare> > ,  and him shall ye worship <7812 
shachah > ,  and to him shall ye do sacrifice <2076 zabach > . 

 : 37 And the statutes <2706 choq > ,  and the ordinances <4941 
mishpat > ,  and the law <8451 towrah > ,  and the commandment 
<4687 mitsvah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he wrote <3789 kathab > 
for you ,  ye shall observe <8104 shamar > to do <6213 <asah > 
for evermore ;  and ye shall not fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 
>acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 38 And the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I have made <3772 
karath > with you ye shall not forget <7911 shakach > ;  neither 
<3808 lo> > shall ye fear <3372 yare> > other <0312 >acher > 
gods <0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 39 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ye 
shall fear <3372 yare> > ;  and he shall deliver <5337 natsal > 
you out of the hand <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > your enemies 
<0341 >oyeb > . 

 : 40 Howbeit they did not hearken <8085 shama< > ,  but they 
did <6213 <asah > after their former <7223 ri>shown > manner 
<4941 mishpat > . 

 : 41 So these <0428 >el - leh > nations <1471 gowy > feared 
<3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and served <5647 <abad

so do <6213 <asah > they unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 1 .  Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the third <7969 
shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son 
<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel

son <1121 ben > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began to reign <4427 malak > . 

 : 2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years <8141

 according to all <3605 kol > that David <1732 David > his

 : 4 He removed <5493 cuwr > the high <1116 bamah > places ,  
and brake <7665 shabar > the images <4676 matstsebah > ,  and 
cut <3772 karath > down the groves <0842 >asherah > ,  and brake 
<3807 kathath > in pieces the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > serpent 
<5175 nachash > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > had made <6213 <asah > 
: for unto those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the children

incense <6999 qatar > to it : and he called <7121 qara> > it 
Nehushtan <5180 N@chushtan > . 

 : 5 He trusted <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God 
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  so that after

[ and ]  departed <5493 cuwr > not from following <0310 >achar >

 : 7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was with him ;   [ and ]  he 
prospered <7919 sakal > whithersoever he went <3318 yatsa> > 
forth <3318 yatsa> > : and he rebelled <4775 marad > against the 
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  and served

 : 8 He smote <5221 nakah > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > ,

 : 9 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243 
r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > ,  which <1958 hiy >  [ was ]  the seventh

came <5957 <alam > up against <5921 <al > Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > ,  and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it . 

 : 10 And at the end <7097 qatseh > of three <7969 shalowsh > 
years <8141 shaneh > they took <3920 lakad > it :  [ even ]  in 
the sixth <8337 shesh > year <8141 shaneh > of Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah > ,  that  [ is ]  the ninth <8672 tesha< > year <8141

<3478 Yisra>el > ,  Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > was taken <3920

 : 11 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
did carry <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el

the river <5104 nahar > of Gozan <1470 Gowzan > ,  and in the

fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > ,  and took <8610 taphas > them . 

 : 14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > to the king <4428 melek > 
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > ,  I have offended <2398 chata> > ;  return 
<7725 shuwb > from me : that which <0834 >aher > thou puttest 
<5414 nathan > on <5921 <al > me will I bear <5375 nasa> > .  
And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
appointed <7760 suwm > unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king

keceph > and thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > talents <3603 kikkar > 
of gold <2091 zahab > . 

 : 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > gave <5414 nathan >  [ him

<4672 matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

<4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > . 

 : 16 At that time <6256 <eth > did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > 
cut <7112 qatsats > off  [ the gold from ]  the doors <1817 
deleth > of the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 : 17 .  And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
sent <7971 shalach > Tartan <8661 Tartan > and Rabsaris <7249 
Rab - Cariyc > and Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .  And they went <5927 <alah > up

when they were come <5927 <alah > up ,  they came <0935 bow> > 
and stood <5975 <amad > by the conduit <8585 t@<alah > of the

 : 18 And when they had called <7121 qara> > to the king <4428 
melek > ,  there came <3318 yatsa> > out to them Eliakim <0471

trustest <0982 batach > upon the staff <4938 mish<enah > of this

 : 22 But if <3588 kiy > ye say <0559 >amar > unto me ,  We

that  [ are ]  on <5921 <al > the wall <2346 chowmah > . 

 : 27 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto

 : 33 Hath any <0376 >iysh > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the 
nations <1471 gowy > delivered <5337 natsal > at all his land 
<0776 >erets > out of the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428

 : 34 Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ are ]  the gods <0430 >elohiym > of 
Hamath <2574 Chamath > ,  and of Arpad <0774 >Arpad > ?  where

Shom@rown > out of mine hand <3027 yad > ? 

 : 35 Who <4310 miy >  [ are ]  they among all <3605 kol > the 
gods <0430 >elohiym > of the countries <0776 >erets > ,  that 
have delivered <5337 natsal > their country <0776 >erets > out

 : 36 But the people <5971 <am > held <2790 charash > their 
peace <2790 charash > ,  and answered <6030 <anah > him not a

 : 2Kings 19

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when king <4428 
melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< >  [ it ]  
,  that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged > ,  and 
covered <3680 kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq > ,  and 
went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

 : 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > ,  
which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > the household

to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son

 : 3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  This <2088 zeh

 : 4 It may <0194 >uwlay > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God 
<0430 >elohiym > will hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the

 : 5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > 
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 
Y@sha<yah > . 

 : 6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them , 
 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to your master 
<0113 >adown > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD

king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have blasphemed 
<1442 gadaph > me . 

 : 7 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will send <5414 nathan > a blast

his own land <0776 >erets > ;  and I will cause him to fall 
<5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776

 : 8 .  So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb > ,  
and found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh > . 

 : 9 And when he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > of 
Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king <4428 melek > of Ethiopia <3568 
Kuwsh > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  he is come <3318 yatsa> >

 : 11 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou hast heard <8085 shama< > 
what the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have 
done <6213 <asah > to all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets > ,  by 
destroying <2763 charam > them utterly : and shalt thou be 
delivered <5337 natsal > ? 

 : 12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy > 
delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1> 
have destroyed <0843 >Asheriy > ;   [ as ]  Gozan <1470 Gowzan >

 : 14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the 
letter <5612 cepher > of the hand <3027 yad > of the messengers 
<4397 mal>ak > ,  and read <7121 qara> > it : and Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up into the house <1004 bayith >

 : 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > before 
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar

 : 16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  bow <5186 natah > down <5186 natah

 : 17 Of a truth <0551 >omnam > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the 
kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have destroyed 
<2717 charab > the nations <1471 gowy > and their lands <0776

 : 18 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym > 
into the fire <0784 >esh > : for they  [ were ]  no <3808 lo> >

 : 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our 
God <0430 >elohiym > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,  save <3467

 : 20 .  Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Amoz <0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > to Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith

<0559 >amar > ,  With the multitude <7393 rekeb > of my chariots 
<7393 rekeb > I am come <5927 <alah > up to the height <4791 
marowm > of the mountains <2022 har > ,  to the sides <3411 
y@rekah > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ,  and will cut <3772 
karath > down the tall <6967 qowmah > cedar <0730 >erez > trees 
thereof ,   [ and ]  the choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 
b@rowsh > trees thereof : and I will enter <0935 bow> > into the 
lodgings <4411 malown > of his borders <7093 qets > ,   [ and 
into ]  the forest <3293 ya<ar > of his Carmel <3760 Karmel > . 

 : 24 I have digged <5365 naqar > and drunk <8354 shathah > 
strange <2114 zuwr > waters <4325 mayim > ,  and with the sole 
<3709 kaph > of my feet <6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab

 : 25 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <7350 rachowq > 
ago <7350 rachowq >  [ how ]  I have done <6213 <asah > it ,   [ 
and ]  of ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm > that I have 
formed <3335 yatsar > it ?  now <6258 <attah > have I brought 
<0935 bow> > it to pass ,  that thou shouldest be to lay waste 
<7582 sha>ah > fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr >  [ into

 : 26 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > were of small 
<7116 qatser > power <3027 yad > ,  they were dismayed <2865 
chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh > ;  they were  [ as ]  
the grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh > ,  and  [ as

 : 27 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab > ,  and 
thy going <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and thy coming <0935 bow> > in , 
 and thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me . 

 : 28 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413

up into mine ears <0241 >ozen > ,  therefore I will put <7760

 : 29 And this <2088 zeh >  [ shall be ]  a sign <0226 >owth > 
unto thee ,  Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > this year <8141 shaneh > 
such things as grow <5599 caphiyach > of themselves ,  and in 
the second <8145 sheniy > year <8141 shaneh > that which

sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > sow <2232 zara< > ye ,  and 
reap <7114 qatsar > ,  and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754

 : 30 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413

fruit <6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al > . 

 : 31 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318

and they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har > 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > : the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >  [ of hosts ]  shall do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th

 : 32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428 
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  He shall not come <0935

  nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before <6924 qedem > it 
with shield <4043 magen > ,  nor cast <8210 shaphak > a bank 
<5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > it . 

 : 33 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> > ,  by 
the same shall he return <7725 shuwb > ,  and shall not come 
<0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr

 : 34 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr > ,  to save <3467 yasha< > it ,  for mine own sake 
<4616 ma<an > ,  and for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 
David > sake <4616 ma<an > . 

 : 35 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass that night <3915 
layil > ,  that the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and smote <5221 nakah > in 
the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > an 
hundred <3967 me>ah > fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > and five <2568

shakam > early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,  
behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they  [ were ]  all <3605 kol > dead 
<4191 muwth > corpses <6297 peger > . 

 : 36 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of 
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< > ,  and went 
<3212 yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb > ,  and dwelt <3427 
yashab > at Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > . 

 : 37 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as he was worshipping 
<7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268 
Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym > ,  that Adrammelech <0152 
>Adrammelek > and Sharezer <8272 Shar>etser > his sons <1121 ben

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of 
Armenia <0780 >Ararat > .  And Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar - Chaddown

tachath > . 

 : 2Kings 20

 : 1 .  In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death <4191 muwth > . 
 And the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > to him ,  
and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

and not live <2421 chayah > . 

 : 2 Then he turned <5437 cabab > his face <6440 paniym > to the 
wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 3 I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
remember <2142 zakar > now <4994 na> > how <0834 >aher > I have 
walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee in truth <0571

 and have done <6213 <asah >  [ that which is ]  good <2896 towb

wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419 gadowl > . 

 : 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  afore <3808 lo> > 
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > was gone <3318 yatsa> > out into the 
middle <8484 tiykown > court <5892 <iyr > ,  that the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to him ,  
saying <0559 >amar > , 

 : 5 Turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > ,  and tell <0559

my people <5971 <am > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of David 
<1732 David > thy father <1> ,  I have heard <8085 shama< > thy 
prayer <8605 t@phillah > ,  I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears 
<1832 dim<ah > : behold <2005 hen > ,  I will heal <7495 rapha>

shalt go <5927 <alah > up unto the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 6 And I will add <3254 yacaph > unto thy days <3117 yowm > 
fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh > ;  and I will deliver 
<5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > out 
of the hand <3709 kaph > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria 
<0804 >Ashshuwr > ;  and I will defend <1598 ganan > this city 
<5892 <iyr > for mine own sake <4616 ma<an > ,  and for my 
servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an > . 

 : 7 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > ,  Take 
<3947 laqach > a lump <1690 d@belah > of figs <8384 t@>en > .  
And they took <3947 laqach > and laid <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on 
<5921 <al > the boil <7822 sh@chiyn > ,  and he recovered <2421 
chayah > . 

 : 8 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > ,  What <4100 mah >  [ shall be ]  the 
sign <0226 >owth > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will heal <7495 
rapha> > me ,  and that I shall go <5927 <alah > up into the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the third <7992 
sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > ? 

 : 9 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > ,  This 
<2088 zeh > sign <0226 >owth > shalt thou have of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > 
the thing that he hath spoken <1696 dabar > : shall the shadow 
<6738 tsel > go <1980 halak > forward ten <6235 <eser > degrees 
<4609 ma<alah > ,  or go <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > ten 
<6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah > ? 

 : 10 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar > ,  
It is a light <7043 qalal > thing for the shadow <6738 tsel > to 
go <5186 natah > down <5186 natah > ten <6235 <eser > degrees 
<4609 ma<alah > : nay <3808 lo> > ,  but let the shadow <6738 
tsel > return <7725 shuwb > backward <0322 >achoranniyth > ten 
<6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah > . 

 : 11 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > 
cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and he 
brought <7725 shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > ten <6235 <eser > 
degrees <4609 ma<alah > backward <0322 >achoranniyth > ,  by 
which <0834 >aher > it had gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > 
in the dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > . 

 : 12 .  At that time <6256 <eth > Berodachbaladan <1255 
B@ro>dak Bal>adan > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 
Bal>adan > ,  king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  
sent <7971 shalach > letters <5612 cepher > and a present <4503 
minchah > unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > : for he had heard 
<8085 shama< > that Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > had been <1961 
hayah > sick <2470 chalah > . 

 : 13 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hearkened <8085 shama< > 
unto them ,  and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them all <3605 kol > the 
house <1004 bayith > of his precious <5238 n@koth > things ,  
the silver <3701 keceph > ,  and the gold <2091 zahab > ,  and 
the spices <1314 besem > ,  and the precious <2896 towb > 
ointment <8081 shemen > ,  and  [ all <3605 kol > ]  the house 
<1004 bayith > of his armour <3627 k@liy > ,  and all <3605 kol

: there was nothing in his house <1004 bayith > ,  nor in all 
<3605 kol > his dominion <4475 memshalah > ,  that Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > them not . 

 : 14 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  What <4100 mah

?  and from whence <0370 >aiyn > came <0935 bow> > they unto 
thee ?  And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > ,  
They are come <0935 bow> > from a far <7350 rachowq > country 
<0776 >erets > ,   [ even ]  from Babylon <0894 Babel > . 

 : 15 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > have they 
seen <7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith > ?  And Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar > ,  All <3605 kol >  [ 
the things ]  that  [ are ]  in mine house <1004 bayith > have 
they seen <7200 ra>ah > : there is nothing <1697 dabar > among 
my treasures <0214 >owtsar > that I have not shewed <7200 ra>ah

 : 16 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 17 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 
bow> > ,  that all <3605 kol > that  [ is ]  in thine house 
<1004 bayith > ,  and that which <0834 >aher > thy fathers <1> 
have laid up in store <0686 >atsar > unto this <2088 zeh > day 
<3117 yowm > ,  shall be carried <5375 nasa> > into Babylon 
<0894 Babel > : nothing shall be left <3498 yathar > ,  saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 18 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa>

eunuchs <5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king 
<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > . 

 : 19 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > unto 
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > ,  Good <2896 towb >  [ is ]  the word 
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > 
thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,   
[ Is it ]  not  [ good ]  ,  if <0518 >im > peace <7965 shalowm

 : 20 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  and all <3605 kol > his might 
<1369 g@buwrah > ,  and how <0834 >aher > he made <6213 <asah > 
a pool <1295 b@rekah > ,  and a conduit <8585 t@<alah > ,  and 
brought <0935 bow> > water <4325 mayim > into the city <5892

<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ? 

 : 21 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > slept <7901 shakab > with 
his fathers <1> : and Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > his son <1121 
ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > . 

 : 2Kings 21

 : 1 .  Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh >  [ was ]  twelve years <8141 
shaneh > old <1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 malak > ,  
and reigned <4427 malak > fifty <2572 chamishshiym > and five 
<2568 chamesh > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > .  And his mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > 
 [ was ]  Hephzibah <2657 Chephtsiy bahh > . 

 : 2 And he did <6213 <asah >  [ that which <0834 >aher > was ]  
evil <7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  after the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > of the 
heathen <1471 gowy > ,  whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out before <6440 paniym > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 : 3 For he built <1129 banah > up again <7725 shuwb > the high 
<1116 bamah > places which <0834 >aher > Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah > his father <1> had destroyed <6> ;  and he reared 
<6965 quwm > up altars <4196 mizbeach > for Baal <1168 Ba<al > , 
 and made <6213 <asah > a grove <0842 >asherah > ,  as did <6213 
<asah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ;  and worshipped <7812 shachah > all <3605 kol > the 
host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and served 
<5647 <abad > them . 

 : 4 And he built <1129 banah > altars <4196 mizbeach > in the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  of which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  In 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > will I put <7760 suwm > my name 
<8034 shem > . 

 : 5 And he built <1129 banah > altars <4196 mizbeach > for all 
<3605 kol > the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > 
in the two <8147 sh@nayim > courts <2691 chatser
