2Kings 1



 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 <8033 sham 
> any more <5750 <owd > death <4194 maveth > or barren <7921 
shakol > [land].



 22 So the waters <4325 mayim > were healed <7495 rapha> > unto 
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, according to the saying <1697 
dabar > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > which <0834 >aher > he spake 
<1696 dabar >.



 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 of the 
city <5892 <iyr >, and mocked <7046 qalac > him, and said <0559 
>amar > unto him, Go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach > 
head; go <5927 <alah > up, thou bald <7142 qereach > head.



 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 > she bears 
<1677 dob > out of the wood <3293 ya<ar >, and tare <1234 baqa<

<3206 yeled > of them.



 25 And he went <3212 yalak > from thence <8033 sham > to mount 
<2022 har > Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and from thence <8033 sham > 
he returned <7725 shuwb > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



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 
> king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and reigned 
<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 
>, and an hundred <3967 me>ah > thousand <0505 >eleph > rams 
<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 > 
of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath rebelled <6586 pasha< > against me: 
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] not here <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 > as blood 
<1818 dam >:



 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 > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the Israelites <3478 Yisra>el > 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 <al > 
all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 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 > 
the door <1817 deleth > upon her and upon her sons <1121 ben >, 
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 >,
 Go <3212 yalak >, sell <4376 makar > the oil <8081 shemen >, 
and pay <7999 shalam > thy debt <5386 n@shiy >, and live <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 > woman <0802 
>ishshah >; and she constrained <2388 chazaq > him 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

lechem >.



 9 And she said <0559 >amar > unto her husband <0376 >iysh >, 
Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> >, I perceive <3045 yada< > 
that this <1931 huw> > [is] an holy <6918 qadowsh > man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which passeth <5674 <abar > by 
us continually <8548 tamiyd >.



 10 Let us make <6213 <asah > a little <6996 qatan > chamber 
<5944 <aliyah >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, on the wall <7023 qiyr

<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 
servant <5288 na<ar >, Call <7121 qara> > this <2063 zo>th > 
Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >. And when he had called <7121 
qara> > her, she stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him.



 13 And he said <0559 >amar > unto him, Say <0559 >amar > now 
<4994 na> > unto her, Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast been 
careful <2729 charad > for us with all <3605 kol > this <2063 
zo>th > care <2731 charadah >; what <4100 mah > [is] to be done 
<6213 <asah > for thee? wouldest <3426 yesh > thou be spoken 
<1696 dabar > for to the king <4428 melek >, or <0176 >ow > to 
the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >? And she 
answered <0559 >amar >, I dwell <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek 
> mine own people <5971 <am >.



 14 And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > then [is] to be 
done <6213 <asah > for her? And Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > 
answered <0559 >amar >, Verily <61> she hath no <0369 >ayin > 
child <1121 ben >, and her husband <0376 >iysh > is old <2204 
zaqen >.



 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 >elohiym >, do not lie 
<3576 kazab > unto thine handmaid <8198 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 >, 
it fell <1961 hayah > on a day <3117 yowm >, that he went <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

 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

 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 >, 
and said <0559 >amar >, Send <7971 shalach > me, I pray <4994 
na> > thee, one <0259 >echad > of the young <5288 na<ar > men, 
and one <0259 >echad > of the asses <0860 >athown >, 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 >, 
nor <3808 lo> > sabbath <7676 shabbath >. And she said <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 > to 
Gehazi <1522 Geychaziy > his servant <5288 na<ar >, 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 >, [there is] 
death <4194 maveth > in the pot <5518 ciyr >. 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 
> of the firstfruits <1061 bikkuwr >, twenty <6242 <esriym > 
loaves <3899 lechem > of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and full ears 
<3759 karmel > of corn <3759 karmel > in the husk <6861 tsiqlon 
> thereof. And he said <0559 >amar >, Give <5414 nathan > 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 > 
[thereof], according to the word <1697 dabar > of the 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 <3605 kol > the 
earth <0776 >erets >, but in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: now <6258 
<attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, take <3947 laqach > 
a blessing <1293 B@rakah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >.



 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 > none. And he 
urged <6484 patsar > him to take <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 nathan > to 
thy servant <5650 <ebed > two mules <6505 pered >' burden <4853 
massa> > of earth <0127 >adamah >? for thy servant <5650 <ebed > 
will henceforth <5750 <owd > offer <6213 <asah > neither <3808 
lo> > burnt <5930 <olah > offering nor sacrifice <2077 zebach > 
unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, but unto the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 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 the 
house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown > to worship <7812 
shachah > there <8033 sham >, and he leaneth <8127 shen > on 
<5921 <al > my hand <3027 yad >, and I bow <7812 shachah > 
myself in the house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >: 
when I bow <7812 shachah > down <7812 shachah > myself in the 
house <1004 bayith > of Rimmon <7417 Rimmown >, the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > pardon <5545 calach > thy servant <5650 <ebed > in 
this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >.



 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 > of 
Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 
>elohiym >, said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, my master 
<0113 >adown > hath spared <2820 chasak > Naaman <5283 Na<aman > 
this <2088 zeh > Syrian <0761 >Arammiy >, in not receiving <3947 
laqach > at his hands <3027 yad > that which <0834 >aher > he 
brought <0935 bow> >: but, [as] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth 
<2416 chay >, I will run <7323 ruwts > 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 the 
chariot <4818 merkabah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > him, and said 
<0559 >amar >, [Is] all well <7965 shalowm >?



 22 And he said <0559 >amar >, All [is] well <7965 shalowm >. My 
master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > me, saying <0559 
>amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, even now <6258 <attah > there be 
come <0935 bow> > to me from mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

sons <1121 ben > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >: give <5414 
nathan > them, I pray <4994 na> > thee, a talent <3603 kikkar > 
of silver <3701 keceph >, and two <8147 sh@nayim > changes <2487 
chaliyphah > of garments <0899 beged >.



 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

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

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 
seed <2233 zera< > for ever <5769 <owlam >. And he went <3318 
yatsa> > out from his presence <6440 paniym > a leper <6879

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 >, 
where <8033 sham > we may dwell <3427 yashab >. And he 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 > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >.



 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

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 >, and, 
behold <2009 hinneh >, [he had] sackcloth <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 koh > 
to me, if <0518 >im > the head <7218 ro>sh > of Elisha <0477 
>Eliysha< > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphat <8202 Shaphat > 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 man <0376 >iysh

messenger <4397 mal>ak > came <0935 bow> > to him, he said <0559 
>amar > to the elders <2205 zaqen >, See <7200 ra>ah > ye how 
<3588 kiy > this son <1121 ben > of a murderer <7523 ratsach > 
hath sent <7971 shalach > to take <5493 cuwr > away mine head 
<7218 ro>sh >? look <7200 ra>ah >, when the messenger <4397 
mal>ak > cometh <0935 bow> >, shut <5462 cagar > the door <1817 
deleth >, and hold <3905 lachats > him fast at the door <1817 
deleth >: [is] not the sound <6963 qowl > of his master's <0113

 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 > [be sold] for 
a shekel <8255 sheqel >, and two measures <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

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

 4 If <0518 >im > we say <0559 >amar >, We will enter <0935 bow>

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 >

 6 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > had made the host <4264 machaneh

<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

<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

<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

 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 > in heaven 
<8064 shamayim >, might such <2088 zeh > a 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.



 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 > he 
had restored <2421 chayah > to life <2421 chayah >, saying <0559 
>amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and go <3212 yalak > thou and thine 
household <1004 bayith >, and sojourn <1481 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 > with 
her household <1004 bayith >, and sojourned <1481 guwr > in the 
land <0776 >erets > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > seven 
<7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh >.



 3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the seven <7651 sheba< > 
years <8141 shaneh >' end <7097 qatseh >, that the woman <0802 
>ishshah > returned <7725 shuwb > out of the land <0776 >erets > 
of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >: and she went <3318 yatsa>

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 >, and this <2088 zeh > [is] her 
son <1121 ben >, whom <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 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 > 
in thine hand <3027 yad >, and go <3212 yalak >, meet <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 > 
with him, even of every <3605 kol > good <2898 tuwb > thing 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 > wept 
<1058 bakah >.



 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 > with 
him: and he rose <6965 quwm > by night <3915 layil >, 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

<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 > of 
the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of 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 > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > begin to reign <4427 malak >.



 26 Two <8147 sh@nayim > and twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 
shaneh > old <1121 ben > [was] Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > when he 
began to reign <4427 malak >; and he reigned one <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 > of Omri <6018 <Omriy > 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 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

<3157 Yizr@<e>l > of the wounds <4347 makkah > which <0834 >aher

Ramah <7414 Ramah >, when he fought <3898 lacham > against 
Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram 
>. And Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoram 
<3088 Y@howram > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to see <7200 ra>ah > Joram 
<3141 Yowram > the son <1121 ben > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > in 
Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l >, because <3588 kiy > he 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 > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I have anointed <4886 mashach 
> thee king <4428 melek > over <0413 >el > Israel <3478 Yisra>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 
> conspired <7194 qashar > against <0413 >el > Joram <3141 
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 > and her witchcrafts 
<3785 kesheph > [are so] many <7227 rab >?



 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< > down in 
his chariot <7393 rekeb >.



 25 Then said <0559 >amar > [Jehu] to Bidkar <0920 Bidqar > his 
captain <7991 shaliysh >, Take <5375 nasa> > up, [and] cast 
<7993 shalak > him in the portion <2513 chelqah > of the field 
<7704 sadeh > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth > the Jezreelite <3158 
Yizr@<e>liy >: for remember <2142 zakar > how that, when I and 
thou rode <7392 rakab > together <6776 tsemed > after <0310 
>achar > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > his father <1>, the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > laid <5375 nasa> > this <2088 zeh > burden <4853 
massa> > upon him;



 26 Surely I have seen <7200 ra>ah > yesterday <0570 >emesh > 
the blood <1818 dam > of Naboth <5022 Nabowth >, and the blood 
<1818 dam > of his sons <1121 ben >, saith <0559 >amar > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will requite <7999 shalam > thee in 
this <2063 zo>th > plat <2513 chelqah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Now <6258 <attah > therefore take <5375 
nasa> > [and] cast <7993 shalak > him into the plat <2513 
chelqah > [of ground], according to the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 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 gan > house 
<1004 bayith >. And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > followed <7291 radaph > 
after <0310 >achar > him, and said <0559 >amar >, Smite <5221 
nakah > him also <1571 gam > in the chariot <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 
> Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 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 <ayin >, and 
tired <3190 yatab > her head <7218 ro>sh >, and looked <8259 
shaqaph > out at <1157 b@<ad > a window <2474 challown >.





 31 And as Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > entered <0935 bow> > in at the 
gate <8179 sha<ar >, she said <0559 >amar >, [Had] Zimri <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 sh@nayim > [or] 
three <7969 shalowsh > eunuchs <5631 cariyc >.



 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 >akal 
> and drink <8354 shathah >, and said <0559 >amar >, 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 Y@hovah >, 
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant <5650 
<ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > the Tishbite <8664 Tishbiy >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, In the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel 
<3157 Yizr@<e>l > shall dogs <3611 keleb > eat <0398 >akal > the 
flesh <1320 basar > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >:



 37 And the carcase <5038 n@belah > of Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > 
shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym > of 
the field <7704 sadeh > in the portion <2506 cheleq > of Jezreel 
<3157 Yizr@<e>l >; [so] that they shall not say <0559 >amar >, 
This <2063 zo>th > [is] Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel >.



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>

and to them that brought <0539 >aman > up Ahab's <0256 >Ach>ab >

master's <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith >.



 4 But they were exceedingly <3966 m@<od > afraid <3372 yare> >, 
and said <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147 
sh@nayim > kings <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > not before 
<6440 paniym > him: how <0349 >eyk > then shall we stand <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

thine eyes <5869 <ayin >.



 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 hearken 
<8085 shama< > unto my voice <6963 qowl >, take <3947 laqach > 
ye the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the men <0582 >enowsh > your 
master's <0113 >adown > sons <1121 ben >, and come <0935 bow> > 
to me to Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > by to morrow <4279 machar > 
this time <6256 <eth >. Now the king's <4428 melek > sons <1121 
ben >, [being] seventy <7657 shib<iym. > persons <0376 >iysh >, 
[were] with the great <1419 gadowl > men of the city <5892 <iyr

 7 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the letter <5612 
cepher > came <0935 bow> > to them, that they took <3947 laqach

shachat > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > persons <0376 >iysh >, and 
put <7760 suwm > their heads <7218 ro>sh > in baskets <1731 duwd

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 melek > 
sons <1121 ben >. And he said <0559 >amar >, Lay <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

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 > my master <0113 
>adown >, and slew <2026 harag > him: but who <4310 miy > slew 
<5221 nakah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >?



 10 Know <3045 yada< > now <0645 >ephow > that there shall fall 
<5307 naphal > unto the earth <0776 >erets > nothing <3808 lo> > 
of the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > 
concerning <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 
>Ach>ab >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah > 
[that] which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by his servant 
<5650 <ebed > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.



 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 kol

and his priests <3548 kohen >, until <5704 <ad > he left <7604 
sha>ar > him none <1115 biltiy > remaining <8300 sariyd >.



 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 miy > 
[are] ye? And they answered <0559 >amar >, We [are] the brethren 
<0251 >ach > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >; and we go <3381 yarad

<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

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 >, which 
<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > to Elijah <0452 >Eliyah >.



 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 <1168 
Ba<al > a little <4592 m@<at >; [but] Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > shall 
serve <5647 <abad > him much <7235 rabah >.



 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore call <7121 qara> > unto me all 
<3605 kol > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, 
all <3605 kol > his servants <5647 <abad >, and all <3605 kol > 
his priests <3548 kohen >; let none be wanting <6485 paqad >: 
for I have a great <1419 gadowl > sacrifice <2077 zebach > [to 
do] to Baal <1168 Ba<al >; whosoever shall be wanting <6485 
paqad >, he shall not live <2421 chayah >. But Jehu <3058 Yehuw>

intent <4616 ma<an > that he might destroy <6> the worshippers 
<5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >.



 20 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > said <0559 >amar >, Proclaim <6942 
qadash > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah > for 
Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And they proclaimed <7121 qara> > [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> 
>, so that there was not a man <0376 >iysh > left <7604 sha>ar > 
that came <0935 bow> > not. And they came <0935 bow> > into 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 > the 
worshippers <5647 <abad > of Baal <1168 Ba<al >. And he 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 chuwts >, and 
said <0559 >amar >, [If] any of the men <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 >amar > to 
the guard <7323 ruwts > and to the captains <7991 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 
machara>ah > house unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 28 Thus <3541 koh > Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > destroyed <8045 shamad

 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 chata> >, Jehu 
<3058 Yehuw> > departed <5493 cuwr > not from after <0310 >achar

that [were] in Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and that [were] in Dan 
<1835 Dan >.



 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 > in 
mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, [and] hast done <6213 <asah > unto the 
house <1004 bayith > of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > according to all 
<3605 kol > that [was] in mine heart <3824 lebab >, thy children 
<1121 ben > of the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > [generation] shall 
sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 31 But Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > took no <3808 lo> > heed <8104 
shamar > to walk <3212 yalak > in the law <8451 towrah > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > with all <3605 kol > his heart <3824 lebab >: for he 
departed <5493 cuwr > not from the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, which <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 32 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > began <2490 chalal > to cut <7096 qatsah > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > short: and Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > smote <5221 
nakah > them in all <3605 kol > the coasts <1366 g@buwl > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;



 33 From Jordan <3383 Yarden > eastward, all <3605 kol > the 
land <0776 >erets > of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >, the Gadites <1425 
Gadiy >, and the Reubenites <7206 R@>uwbeniy >, and the 
Manassites <4520 M@nashshiy >, from Aroer <6177 <Arow<er >, 
which <0834 >aher > [is] by the river <5158 nachal > Arnon <0769 
>Arnown >, even Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > and Bashan <1316 Bashan >.





 34 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 <asah 
>, and all <3605 kol > his might <1369 g@buwrah >, [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 >?



 35 And Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>: and they buried <6912 qabar > him in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown >. And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > his son <1121 ben

 36 And the time <3117 yowm > that Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > reigned 
<4427 malak > over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in 
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > [was] twenty <6242 <esriym > and eight 
<8083 sh@moneh > years <8141 shaneh >.



2Kings 11



 1. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > the mother <0517 >em > 
of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah > saw <7200 ra>ah > that her son 
<1121 ben > was dead <4191 muwth >, she arose <6965 quwm > and 
destroyed <6> all <3605 kol > the seed <2233 zera< > royal <4467 
mamlakah >.



 2 But Jehosheba <3089 Y@howsheba< >, the daughter <1323 bath > 
of king <4428 melek > Joram <3141 Yowram >, sister <0269 
>achowth > of Ahaziah <0274 >Achazyah >, took <3947 laqach > 
Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the son <1121 ben > of Ahaziah <0274

<4191 muwth >; and they hid <5641 cathar > him, [even] him and 
his nurse <3243 yanaq >, in the bedchamber from Athaliah <6271 
<Athalyah >, so that he was not slain <4191 muwth >.



 3 And he was with her hid <2244> in the house <1004 bayith > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > six <8337 shesh > years <8141 shaneh >. 
And Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > did reign <4427 malak > over 
<5921 <al > the land <0776 >erets >.





 4. And the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > 
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > sent <7971 shalach > and fetched <3947 
laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah >, 
with the captains <3746 kariy > and the guard <7323 ruwts >, and 
brought <0935 bow> > them to him into the house <1004 bayith > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and made <3772 karath > a covenant 
<1285 b@riyth > with them, and took an oath <7650 shaba< > of 
them in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the king's <4428 melek > son <1121 
ben >.



 5 And he commanded <6680 tsavah > them, saying <0559 >amar >, 
This <2088 zeh > [is] the thing <1697 dabar > that ye shall do 
<6213 <asah >; A third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part of you that enter

keepers <8104 shamar > of the watch <4931 mishmereth > of the 
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >;



 6 And a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part [shall be] at the gate 
<8179 sha<ar > of Sur <5495 Cuwr >; and a third <7992 sh@liyshiy

<4931 mishmereth > of the house <1004 bayith >, that it be not 
broken <4535 maccach > down <4535 maccach >.



 7 And two <8147 sh@nayim > parts <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > 
you that go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > on the sabbath 
<7676 shabbath >, even they shall keep <8104 shamar > the watch 
<4931 mishmereth > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > about <0413 >el > the king <4428 melek >.



 8 And ye shall compass <5362 naqaph > the king <4428 melek >

weapons <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027 yad >: and he that 
cometh <0935 bow> > within the ranges <7713 s@derah >, let him 
be slain <4191 muwth >: and be ye with the king <4428 melek > as 
he goeth <3318 yatsa> > out and as he cometh <0935 bow> > in.



 9 And the captains <8269 sar > over the hundreds <3967 me>ah > 
did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > [things] that 
Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > commanded 
<6680 tsavah >: and they took <3947 laqach > every man <0376

<0935 bow> > to Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen

 10 And to the captains <8269 sar > over hundreds <3967 me>ah > 
did the priest <3548 kohen > give <5414 nathan > king <4428 
melek > David's <1732 David > spears <2595 chaniyth > and 
shields <7982 shelet >, that [were] in the temple <1004 bayith > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 11 And the guard <7323 ruwts > stood <5975 <amad >, every man 
<0376 >iysh > with his weapons <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027

 12 And he brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the

 13. And when Athaliah <6271 <Athalyah > heard <8085 shama< > 
the noise <6963 qowl > of the guard <7323 ruwts > [and] of the

 14 And when she looked <7200 ra>ah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, 
the king <4428 melek > stood <5975 <amad > by a pillar <5982

Treason <7195 qesher >, Treason <7195 qesher >.



 15 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > 
commanded <6680 tsavah > the captains <8269 sar > of the

<0559 >amar >, Let her not be slain <4191 muwth > in the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 16 And they laid <7760 suwm > hands <3027 yad > on her; and she 
went <0935 bow> > by the way <1870 derek > by the which the 
horses <5483 cuwc > came <3996 mabow> > into the king's <4428

slain <4191 muwth >.



 17. And Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > made <3772 karath > a

 18 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776

 his altars <4196 mizbeach > and his images <6754 tselem > brake 
<7665 shabar > they in pieces thoroughly <3190 yatab >, and slew

 19 And he took <3947 laqach > the rulers <8269 sar > over

sat <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of 
the kings <4428 melek >.



 20 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776

in quiet <8252 shaqat >: and they slew <4191 muwth > Athaliah

king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >.



 21 Seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >

2Kings 12



 1. In the seventh <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehu 
<3058 Yehuw> > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > began to reign <4427 
malak >; and forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > 
reigned <4427 malak > he in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And 
his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Zibiah <6645 
Tsibyah > of Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< >.



 2 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > did <6213 <asah > [that which 
was] right <3477 yashar > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm > wherein 
<0834 >aher > Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > 
instructed <3384 yarah > him.



 3 But the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 cuwr > 
away <5493 cuwr >: the people <5971 <am > still <5750 <owd > 
sacrificed <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 
qatar > in the high <1116 bamah > places.



 4. And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > said <0559 >amar > to the 
priests <3548 kohen >, All <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph > 
of the dedicated <6944 qodesh > things that is brought <0935

 [even] the money <3701 keceph > of every <3605 kol > one that 
passeth <5674 <abar > [the account], the money <3701 keceph > 
that every man <5315 nephesh > is set <6187 <erek > at, [and] 
all <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph > that cometh <5927 <alah

bring <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >,



 5 Let the priests <3548 kohen > take <3947 laqach > [it] to 
them, every man <0376 >iysh > of his acquaintance <4378 makka >: 
and let them repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of 
the house <1004 bayith >, wheresoever any <0376 >iysh > breach 
<0919 bedeq > shall be found <4672 matsa> >.



 6 But it was [so, that] in the three <7969 shalowsh > and 
twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 
melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the priests <3548 kohen > had 
not repaired <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the 
house <1004 bayith >.



 7 Then king <4428 melek > Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > called 
<7121 qara> > for Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 
kohen >, and the [other] priests <3548 kohen >, and said <0559

not the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house <1004 bayith >? now 
<6258 <attah > therefore receive <3947 laqach > no <0408 >al > 
[more] money <3701 keceph > of your acquaintance <4378 makka >, 
but deliver <5414 nathan > it for the breaches <0919 bedeq > of 
the house <1004 bayith >.



 8 And the priests <3548 kohen > consented <0225 >uwth > to 
receive <3947 laqach > no <1115 biltiy > [more] money <3701 
keceph > of the people <5971 <am >, neither <1115 biltiy > to 
repair <2388 chazaq > the breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house 
<1004 bayith >.



 9 But Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > took 
<3947 laqach > a chest <0727 >arown >, and bored <5344 naqab > a 
hole <2356 chowr > in the lid <1817 deleth > of it, and set 
<5414 nathan > it beside <0681 >etsel > the altar <4196 mizbeach

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the priests <3548 kohen > that kept

<8033 sham > all <3605 kol > the money <3701 keceph > [that was] 
brought <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 10 And it was [so], when they saw <7200 ra>ah > that [there 
was] much <7225 re>shiyth > money <3701 keceph > in the chest 
<0727 >arown >, that the king's <4428 melek > scribe <5608 
caphar > and the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen > came 
<5927 <alah > up, and they put <6695 tsowq > up in bags <6696 
tsuwr >, and told <4487 manah > the money <3701 keceph > that 
was found <4672 matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 11 And they gave <5414 nathan > the money <3701 keceph >, being 
told <8505 takan >, into <5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of 
them that did <6213 <asah > the work <4399 m@la>kah >, that had 
the oversight <6485 paqad > of the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and they laid <3318 yatsa> > it out to the 
carpenters <6086 <ets > and builders <1129 banah >, that wrought 
<6213 <asah > upon the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >,



 12 And to masons <1443 gadar >, and hewers <2672 chatsab > of 
stone <68>, and to buy <7069 qanah > timber <6086 <ets > and 
hewed <4274 machtseb > stone <68> to repair <2388 chazaq > the 
breaches <0919 bedeq > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, and for all <3605 kol > that was laid <3318 
yatsa> > out for the house <1004 bayith > to repair <2393 
chezqah > [it].



 13 Howbeit there were not made <6213 <asah > for the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bowls <5592 caph > of 
silver <3701 keceph >, snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, basons <4219

<0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >:



 14 But they gave <5414 nathan > that to the workmen, and 
repaired <2388 chazaq > therewith the house <1004 bayith > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 15 Moreover they reckoned <2803 chashab > not with the men 
<0582 >enowsh >, into <5921 <al > whose <0834 >aher > hand <3027 
yad > they delivered <5414 nathan > the money <3701 keceph > to 
be bestowed <5414 nathan > on workmen: for they dealt <6213 
<asah > faithfully <0530 >emuwnah >.



 16 The trespass <0817 >asham > money <3701 keceph > and sin 
money <3701 keceph > was not brought <0935 bow> > into the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: it was the priests

 17. Then <0227 >az > Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > 
of Syria <0758 >Aram > went <5927 <alah > up, and fought <3898

face <6440 paniym > to go <5927 <alah > up to Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >.



 18 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the 
hallowed <6944 qodesh > things that Jehoshaphat <3092

Syria <0758 >Aram >: and he went <5927 <alah > away from 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 19 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Joash <3101 Yow>ash >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

 20 And his servants <5650 <ebed > arose <6965 quwm >, and made 
a conspiracy <7195 qesher >, and slew <5221 nakah > Joash <3101

2Kings 13



 1. In the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the son <1121 ben >

reigned] seventeen <7651 sheba< > years <8141 shaneh >.



 2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in 
the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and 
followed the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > 
the son <1121 ben > of Nebat <5028 N@bat >, which made Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >; he departed <5493 cuwr > 
not therefrom.



 3 And the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was 
kindled <2734 charah > against Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and he 
delivered <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of

 4 And Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > besought <2470 chalah > the

the king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > oppressed <3905

 5 (And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > Israel

 6 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > they departed <5493 cuwr > not from

 7 Neither <3808 lo> > did he leave <7604 sha>ar > of the people

upon his throne <3678 kicce> >: and Joash <3101 Yow>ash > was 
buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > with the kings 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 14 Now Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > was fallen sick <2470 chalah > 
of his sickness <2483 choliy > whereof <0834 >aher > he died 
<4191 muwth >. And Joash <3101 Yow>ash > the king <4428 melek > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > 
unto him, and wept <1058 bakah > over <5921 <al > his face <6440 
paniym >, and said <0559 >amar >, O my father <1>, my father <1>,
 the chariot <7393 rekeb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and the 
horsemen <6571 parash > thereof.



 15 And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar > unto him, 
Take <3947 laqach > bow <7198 qesheth > and arrows <2671 chets >.
 And he took <3947 laqach > unto him bow <7198 qesheth > and 
arrows <2671 chets >.



 16 And he said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Put <7392 rakab > thine hand <3027 yad

<3027 yad > [upon it]: and Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > put <7760 
suwm > his hands <3027 yad > upon the king's <4428 melek > hands 
<3027 yad >.



 17 And he said <0559 >amar >, Open <6605 pathach > the window 
<2474 challown > eastward <6924 qedem >. And he opened <6605 
pathach > [it]. Then Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > said <0559 >amar >,
 Shoot <3384 yarah >. And he shot <3384 yarah >. And he said 
<0559 >amar >, The arrow <2671 chets > of the LORD'S <3068 
Y@hovah > deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah >, and the arrow <2671 
chets > of deliverance <8668 t@shuw<ah > from Syria <0758 >Aram 
>: for thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > the Syrians <0758 >Aram > 
in Aphek <0663 >Apheq >, till <5704 <ad > thou have consumed 
<3615 kalah > [them].



 18 And he said <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > the arrows 
<2671 chets >. And he took <3947 laqach > [them]. And he said 
<0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, Smite <5221 nakah > upon the ground <0776 >erets >. 
And he smote <5221 nakah > thrice, and stayed <5975 <amad >.





 19 And the man <0376 >iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym > was wroth 
<7107 qatsaph > with him, and said <0559 >amar >, Thou shouldest 
have smitten <5221 nakah > five <2568 chamesh > or <0176 >ow > 
six <8337 shesh > times <6471 pa<am >; then <0227 >az > hadst 
thou smitten <5221 nakah > Syria <0758 >Aram > till <5704 <ad > 
thou hadst consumed <3615 kalah > [it]: whereas <6258 <attah > 
now <6258 <attah > thou shalt smite <5221 nakah > Syria <0758 
>Aram > [but] thrice.



 20. And Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< > died <4191 muwth >, and they 
buried <6912 qabar > him. And the bands <1416 g@duwd > of the 
Moabites <4124 Mow>ab > invaded <0935 bow> > the land <0776 
>erets > at the coming <0935 bow> > in of the year <8141 shaneh

 21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as they were burying 
<6912 qabar > a man <0376 >iysh >, that, behold <2009 hinneh >, 
they spied <7200 ra>ah > a band <1416 g@duwd > [of men]; and 
they cast <7993 shalak > the man <0376 >iysh > into the 
sepulchre <6913 qeber > of Elisha <0477 >Eliysha< >: and when 
the man <0376 >iysh > was let <3212 yalak > down <3212 yalak >, 
and touched <5060 naga< > the bones <6106 <etsem > of Elisha 
<0477 >Eliysha< >, he revived <2421 chayah >, and stood <6965 
quwm > up on <5921 <al > his feet <7272 regel >.



 22 But Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria 
<0758 >Aram > oppressed <3905 lachats > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoahaz <3059 
Y@how>achaz >.



 23 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was gracious <2603 chanan > 
unto them, and had compassion <7355 racham > on them, and had 
respect <6437 panah > unto them, because <4616 ma<an > of his 
covenant <1285 b@riyth > with Abraham <85>, Isaac <3327 Yitschaq

shachath > them, neither <3808 lo> > cast <7993 shalak > he them 
from his presence <6440 paniym > as yet.



 24 So Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > king <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 
>Aram > died <4191 muwth >; and Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad > his 
son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath

 25 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the son <1121 ben > of 
Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > took <3947 laqach > again <7725 
shuwb > out of the hand <3027 yad > of Benhadad <1130 Ben-Hadad

<5892 <iyr >, which <0834 >aher > he had taken <3947 laqach > 
out of the hand <3027 yad > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > his 
father <1> by war <4421 milchamah >. Three <7969 shalowsh > 
times <6471 pa<am > did Joash <3101 Yow>ash > beat <5221 nakah > 
him, and recovered <7725 shuwb > the cities <5892 <iyr > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



2Kings 14



 1. In the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Joash 
<3101 Yow>ash > son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > reigned <4427 
malak > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash 
<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 2 He was twenty <6242 <esriym > and five <2568 chamesh > years 
<8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when he began to reign <4427 
malak >, and reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and 
nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > 
[was] Jehoaddan <3086 Y@how<addiyn > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >.



 3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar 
> in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, yet 
<7535 raq > not like David <1732 David > his father <1>: he did 
<6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > things as Joash <3101 
Yow>ash > his father <1> did <6213 <asah >.





 4 Howbeit the high <1116 bamah > places were not taken <5493 
cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >: as yet <5750 <owd > the people <5971 
<am > did sacrifice <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > 
incense <6999 qatar > on the high <1116 bamah > places.



 5 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as soon <0834 >aher > as 
the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > was confirmed <2388 chazaq > in his 
hand <3027 yad >, that he slew <5221 nakah > his servants <5650 
<ebed > which <0834 >aher > had slain <5221 nakah > the king 
<4428 melek > his father <1>.



 6 But the children <1121 ben > of the murderers <5221 nakah > 
he slew <4191 muwth > not: according unto that which is written 
<3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the law <8451 
towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, wherein <0834 >aher > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >, saying <0559 >amar >, 
The fathers <1> shall not be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191 
muwth > for the children <1121 ben >, nor <3808 lo> > the 
children <1121 ben > be put <4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth > 
for the fathers <1>; but every man <0376 >iysh > shall be put 
<4191 muwth > to death <4191 muwth > for his own sin <2399 chet> 
>.



 7 He slew <5221 nakah > of Edom <0123 >Edom > in the valley 
<1516 gay> > of salt <4417 melach > ten <6235 <eser > thousand 
<0505 >eleph >, and took <8610 taphas > Selah <5554 Cela< > by 
war <4421 milchamah >, and called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 
shem > of it Joktheel <3371 Yoqth@>el > unto this <2088 zeh > 
day <3117 yowm >.



 8. Then <0227 >az > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > sent <7971 
shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash >,
 the son <1121 ben > of Jehoahaz <3059 Y@how>achaz > son <1121 
ben > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Come <3212 yalak >, let us 
look <7200 ra>ah > one another in the face <6440 paniym >.



 9 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > the king <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sent <7971 shalach > to Amaziah <0558 
>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, The thistle <2336 chowach > that [was] in Lebanon 
<3844 L@banown > sent <7971 shalach > to the cedar <0730 >erez > 
that [was] in Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, saying <0559 >amar >, 
Give <5414 nathan > thy daughter <1323 bath > to my son <1121 
ben > to wife <0802 >ishshah >: and there passed <5674 <abar > 
by a wild <7704 sadeh > beast <2416 chay > that [was] in Lebanon 
<3844 L@banown >, and trode <7429 ramac > down the thistle <2336 
chowach >.



 10 Thou hast indeed smitten <5221 nakah > Edom <0123 >Edom >, 
and thine heart <3820 leb > hath lifted <5375 nasa> > thee up: 
glory <3513 kabad > [of this], and tarry <3427 yashab > at home 
<1004 bayith >: for why shouldest thou meddle <1624 garah > to 
[thy] hurt <7451 ra< >, that thou shouldest fall <5307 naphal >, 
[even] thou, and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > with thee?



 11 But Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > would not hear <8085 shama< >. 
Therefore Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > went <5927 <alah > up; and he and Amaziah <0558 
>Amatsyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > looked 
<7200 ra>ah > one another in the face <6440 paniym > at 
Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, which <0834 >aher > 
[belongeth] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 12 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was put to the worse <5062 nagaph 
> before <6440 paniym > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; and they fled 
<5127 nuwc > every man <0376 >iysh > to their tents <0168 >ohel

 13 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > took <8610 taphas > Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, the son <1121 ben

<0274 >Achazyah >, at Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, and 
came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and brake 
<6555 parats > down the wall <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > from the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Ephraim <0669 
>Ephrayim > unto the corner <6438 pinnah > gate <8179 sha<ar >, 
four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > cubits <0520 >ammah >.



 14 And he took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the gold <2091 
zahab > and silver <3701 keceph >, and all <3605 kol > the 
vessels <3627 k@liy > that were found <4672 matsa> > in the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and in the 
treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <4428 melek > house 
<1004 bayith >, and hostages, and returned <7725 shuwb > to 
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



 15. Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah 
>, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, and how <0834 >aher > he 
fought <3898 lacham > with Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, [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 >?



 16 And Jehoash <3060 Y@how>ash > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>, and was buried <6912 qabar > in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > with the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >; and Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 17 And Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash 
<3101 Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
lived <2421 chayah > after <0310 >achar > the death <4194 maveth

Y@how>achaz > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >.



 18 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >, [are] they not written <3789 kathab > 
in the book <5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of 
the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



 19 Now they made a conspiracy <7195 qesher > against <5921 <al 
> him in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and he fled <5127 nuwc 
> to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >; but they sent <7971 shalach > 
after <0310 >achar > him to Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >, and slew 
<4191 muwth > him there <8033 sham >.



 20 And they brought <5375 nasa> > him on <5921 <al > horses 
<5483 cuwc >: and he was buried <6912 qabar > at Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > with his fathers <1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of 
David <1732 David >.



 21 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > took <3947 laqach > Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, which 
<1931 huw> > [was] sixteen years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben >, 
and made him king <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of his 
father <1> Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >.



 22 He built <1129 banah > Elath <0359 >Eylowth >, and restored 
<7725 shuwb > it to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, after <0310 >achar > 
that the king <4428 melek > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>.



 23. In the fifteenth <6240 <asar > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 
Yow>ash > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > Jeroboam 
<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash > 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > began to reign 
<4427 malak > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, [and reigned] forty 
<0705 >arba<iym > and one <0259 >echad > years <8141 shaneh >.



 24 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > 
in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: he 
departed <5493 cuwr > not from all <3605 kol > the sins <2403 
chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nebat <5028 N@bat >, who <0834 >aher > made Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 25 He restored <7725 shuwb > the coast <1366 g@buwl > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > from the entering <0935 bow> > of Hamath <2574 
Chamath > unto the sea <3220 yam > of the plain <6160 <arabah >, 
according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which <0834 
>aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by the hand <3027 yad > of his 
servant <5650 <ebed > Jonah <3124 Yonah >, the son <1121 ben > 
of Amittai <0573 >Amittay >, the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, which 
<0834 >aher > [was] of Gathhepher <1662 Gath-ha-Chepher >.



 26 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw <7200 ra>ah > the 
affliction <6040 <oniy > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that it 
was] very <3966 m@<od > bitter <4784 marah >: for [there was] 
not any shut <6113 <atsar > up, nor <0369 >ayin > any left <5800 
<azab >, nor <0369 >ayin > any helper <5826 <azar > for Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >.



 27 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <1696 dabar > not that he 
would blot <4229 machah > out the name <8034 shem > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > from under <8478 tachath > heaven <8064 
shamayim >: but he saved <3467 yasha< > them by the hand <3027 
yad > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash 
<3101 Yow>ash >.



 28 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213 
<asah >, and his might <1369 g@buwrah >, how <0834 >aher > he 
warred <3898 lacham >, and how <0834 >aher > he recovered <7725 
shuwb > Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, and Hamath <2574 Chamath >, 
[which belonged] to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, for Israel <3478

<5612 cepher > of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings 
<4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?



 29 And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>, [even] with the kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >; and Zachariah <2148 Z@karyah > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



2Kings 15



 1. In the twenty <6242 <esriym > and seventh <7651 sheba< > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > began Azariah <5838 <Azaryah

 2 Sixteen years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he 
began to reign <4427 malak >, and he reigned <4427 malak > two 
<8147 sh@nayim > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > years <8141 
shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And his mother's 
<0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Jecholiah <3203 Y@kolyah >

 3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar

according to all <3605 kol > that his father <1> Amaziah <0558

 4 Save <7535 raq > that the high <1116 bamah > places were not 
removed <5493 cuwr >: the people <5971 <am > sacrificed <2076 
zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > still 
<5750 <owd > on the high <1116 bamah > places.



 5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > smote <5221 nakah > the king 
<4428 melek >, so that he was a leper <6879 tsara< > unto the 
day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >, and dwelt <3427 
yashab > in a several <2669 chophshuwth > house <1004 bayith >. 
And Jotham <3147 Yowtham > the king's <4428 melek > son <1121

<8199 shaphat > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets

 6 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

 7 So Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>; and they buried <6912 qabar > him with his fathers 
<1> in the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >: and Jotham 
<3147 Yowtham > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his

 8. In the thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and eighth <8083 sh@moneh

 9 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in 
the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, as his 
fathers <1> had done <6213 <asah >: he departed <5493 cuwr > not

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 10 And Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of Jabesh 
<3003 Yabesh > conspired <7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him, 
and smote <5221 nakah > him before <6905 qabal > the people 
<5971 <am >, and slew <4191 muwth > him, and reigned <4427 malak

 11 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Zachariah <2148 Z@karyah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, they [are] 
written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > of the 
chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >.



 12 This <1931 huw> > [was] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > unto 
Jehu <3058 Yehuw> >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thy sons <1121 ben >

[generation]. And so <3651 ken > it came <1961 hayah > to pass.



 13 Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of Jabesh <3003 
Yabesh > began to reign <4427 malak > in the nine <8672 tesha< > 
and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh > of Uzziah 
<5818 <Uzziyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; 
and he reigned <4427 malak > a full <3117 yowm > month <3391 
yerach > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.



 14 For Menahem <4505 M@nachem > the son <1121 ben > of Gadi 
<1424 Gadiy > went <5927 <alah > up from Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah >, 
and came <0935 bow> > to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and smote 
<5221 nakah > Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of 
Jabesh <3003 Yabesh > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and slew 
<4191 muwth > him, and reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 
tachath >.



 15 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Shallum <7967 Shalluwm >, and his conspiracy <7195 qesher > 
which <0834 >aher > he made <7194 qashar >, behold <2009 hinneh

of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 16 Then <0227 >az > Menahem <4505 M@nachem > smote <5221 nakah

Tirtsah >: because <3588 kiy > they opened <6605 pathach > not 
[to him], therefore he smote <5221 nakah > [it; and] all <3605

ripped <1234 baqa< > up.



 17 In the nine <8672 tesha< > and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > king <4428 melek

son <1121 ben > of Gadi <1424 Gadiy > to reign <4427 malak > 
over <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [and reigned] ten 
<6235 <eser > years <8141 shaneh > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >.





 18 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > 
in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: he 
departed <5493 cuwr > not all <3605 kol > his days <3117 yowm > 
from the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 19 [And] Pul <6322 Puwl > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria 
<0804 >Ashshuwr > came <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > the land 
<0776 >erets >: and Menahem <4505 M@nachem > gave <5414 nathan > 
Pul <6322 Puwl > a thousand <0505 >eleph > talents <3603 kikkar

with him to confirm <2388 chazaq > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > 
in his hand <3027 yad >.



 20 And Menahem <4505 M@nachem > exacted <3318 yatsa> > the 
money <3701 keceph > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [even] of all 
<3605 kol > the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men of wealth <2428

to give <5414 nathan > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria

<5975 <amad > not there <8033 sham > in the land <0776 >erets >.



 21 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Menahem <4505 M@nachem >, and all <3605 kol > that he did <6213

 22 And Menahem <4505 M@nachem > slept <7901 shakab > with his 
fathers <1>; and Pekahiah <6494 P@qachyah > his son <1121 ben > 
reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath >.



 23 In the fiftieth <2572 chamishshiym > year <8141 shaneh > of

 24 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< >

 25 But Pekah <6492 Peqach > the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah 
<7425 R@malyahuw >, a captain <7991 shaliysh > of his, conspired 
<7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > him, and smote <5221 nakah >

 26 And the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of

2Kings 16



 1. In the seventeenth <7651 sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Pekah <6492 Peqach > the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah <7425 
R@malyahuw > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > the son <1121 ben > of Jotham 
<3147 Yowtham > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
began to reign <4427 malak >.



 2 Twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > 
[was] Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > when he began to reign <4427 malak >, 
and reigned <4427 malak > sixteen years <8141 shaneh > in 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and did <6213 <asah > not [that 
which was] right <3477 yashar > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym >, like David 
<1732 David > his father <1>.



 3 But he walked <3212 yalak > in the way <1870 derek > of the 
kings <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, yea <1571 gam >, 
and made his son <1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the 
fire <0784 >esh >, according to the abominations <8441 tow<ebah

Y@hovah > cast <3423 yarash > out from before <6440 paniym > the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 4 And he sacrificed <2076 zabach > and burnt <6999 qatar > 
incense <6999 qatar > in the high <1116 bamah > places, and on 
<5921 <al > the hills <1389 gib<ah >, and under <8478 tachath > 
every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >.



 5. Then <0227 >az > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > king <4428 melek > of 
Syria <0758 >Aram > and Pekah <6492 Peqach > son <1121 ben > of

 6 At that time <6256 <eth > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > king <4428 
melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram > recovered <7725 shuwb > Elath 
<0359 >Eylowth > to Syria <0758 >Aram >, and drave <5394 nashal

zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 7 So Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 
mal>ak > to Tiglathpileser <8407 Tiglath Pil>ecer > king <4428 
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, I

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which rise <6965 quwm > up against

 8 And Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > took <3947 laqach > the silver <3701 
keceph > and gold <2091 zahab > that was found <4672 matsa> > in 
the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and in the

<1004 bayith >, and sent <7971 shalach > [it for] a present 
<7810 shachad > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

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

carried <1540 galah > [the people of] it captive <1540 galah > 
to Kir <7024 Qiyr >, and slew <4191 muwth > Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn

 10. And king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > went <3212 yalak

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

tabniyth > of it, according to all <3605 kol > the 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

 12 And when the king <4428 melek > was come <0935 bow> > from 
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 <2236 zaraq > 
the blood <1818 dam > of his peace <8002 shelem > offerings, 
upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >.



 14 And he brought <7126 qarab > also the brasen <5178 
n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach >, which <0834 >aher > [was] 
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, from the 
forefront <6440 paniym > of the house <1004 bayith >, from 
between <0996 beyn > the altar <4196 mizbeach > and the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and put <5414 nathan 
> it on <5921 <al > the north <6828 tsaphown > side <3409 yarek 
> of the altar <4196 mizbeach >.



 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 <4196 
mizbeach > burn <6999 qatar > the morning <1242 boqer > burnt 
<5930 <olah > offering, and the evening <6153 <ereb > meat 
offering <4503 minchah >, and the king's <4428 melek > burnt 
<5930 <olah > sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt 
<5930 <olah > offering of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > 
of the land <0776 >erets >, and their meat offering <4503 
minchah >, and their drink <5262 necek > offerings; and sprinkle 
<2236 zaraq > upon it all <3605 kol > the blood <1818 dam > of 
the burnt <5930 <olah > offering, and all <3605 kol > the blood 
<1818 dam > of the sacrifice <2077 zebach >: and the brasen 
<5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be for me to 
enquire <1239 baqar > [by].



 16 Thus did <6213 <asah > Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the priest 
<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 > 
from off <5921 <al > them; and took <3381 yarad > down <3381 
yarad > the sea <3220 yam > from off <5921 <al > the brasen 
<5178 n@chosheth > oxen <1241 baqar > that [were] under <8478 
tachath > it, and put <5414 nathan > it upon a pavement <4837 
martsepheth > of stones <68>.



 18 And the covert <4329 meycak > for the sabbath <7676 shabbath 
> that they had built <1129 banah > in the house <1004 bayith >, 
and the king's <4428 melek > entry <3996 mabow> > without <2435 
chiytsown >, turned <5437 cabab > he from the house <1004 bayith 
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for the king <4428 melek > of 
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.



 19 Now the rest <3499 yether > of the acts <1697 dabar > of 
Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > 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 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



 20 And Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > 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 Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in 
his stead <8478 tachath >.



2Kings 17



 1. In the twelfth year <8141 shaneh > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > began Hoshea <1954 
Howshea< > the son <1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > to reign 
<4427 malak > in Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh >.



 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 
<8022 Shalman>ecer > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 
>Ashshuwr >; and Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > became <1961 hayah > 
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 
<4503 minchah > to the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 
>Ashshuwr >, as [he had done] year <8141 shaneh > by year <8141 
shaneh >: therefore the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 
>Ashshuwr > shut <6113 <atsar > him up, and bound <0631 >acar > 
him in prison.



 5 Then the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came 
<5927 <alah > up throughout all <3605 kol > the land <0776 
>erets >, and went <5927 <alah > up to Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >,
 and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it three <7969 shalowsh > years 
<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 <ets >:



 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< > ways <1870 derek >, and 
keep <8104 shamar > my commandments <4687 mitsvah > [and] my 
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, according to all <3605 kol > the law 
<8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > 
your fathers <1>, and which <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 
>aher > he testified <5749 <uwd > against them; and they 
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 > evil 
<7451 ra< > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 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 
> of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > only <0905 bad >.



 19 Also <1571 gam > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > kept <8104 shamar > 
not the commandments <4687 mitsvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
their God <0430 >elohiym >, but walked <3212 yalak > in the 
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 
> of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 
<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 > 
them how <0349 >eyk > they should fear <3372 yare> > the LORD 
<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 
> in fire <0784 >esh > to Adrammelech <0152 >Adrammelek > and 
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 > 
after the former <7223 ri>shown > manners <4941 mishpat >: 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

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

 38 And the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I have made <3772

 39 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ye

you out of the hand <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > your enemies

 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

graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, both <1571 gam > their children

they unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



2Kings 18



 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 
<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > the 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 
shaneh > old <1121 ben > was he when he began to reign <4427 
malak >; and he reigned <4427 malak > twenty <6242 <esriym > and 
nine <8672 tesha< > years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >. His mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > also 
[was] Abi <21>, the daughter <1323 bath > of Zachariah <2148 
Z@karyah >.





 3 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] right <3477 yashar 
> in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
according to all <3605 kol > that David <1732 David > his father 
<1> did <6213 <asah >.



 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 <1121 ben 
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > did burn <6999 qatar > 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 <0310 
>achar > him was none <3808 lo> > like <3644 k@mow > him among 
all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah 
>, nor [any] that were before <6440 paniym > him.



 6 For he clave <1692 dabaq > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] 
departed <5493 cuwr > not from following <0310 >achar > him, but 
kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >, which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > 
Moses <4872 Mosheh >.



 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 <5647 <abad > 
him not.



 8 He smote <5221 nakah > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >, 
[even] unto Gaza <5804 <Azzah >, and the borders <1366 g@buwl > 
thereof, from the tower <4026 migdal > of the watchmen <5341 
natsar > to the fenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >.



 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 <7651 
sheba< > year <8141 shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > son 
<1121 ben > of Elah <0425 >Elah > king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, [that] Shalmaneser <8022 Shalman>ecer > king 
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 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 
shaneh > of Hoshea <1954 Howshea< > king <4428 melek > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > was taken <3920 
lakad >.



 11 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > did 
carry <1540 galah > away <1540 galah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
unto Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and put <5148 nachah > 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 >:



 12 Because they obeyed <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl 
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, but 
transgressed <5674 <abar > his covenant <1285 b@riyth >, [and] 
all <3605 kol > that Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 
<ebed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah >, 
and would not hear <8085 shama< > [them], nor <3808 lo> > do 
<6213 <asah > [them].



 13 Now in the fourteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 
melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > did Sennacherib <5576 
Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > 
come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > 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 <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 
me>ah > talents <3603 kikkar > of silver <3701 keceph > and 
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > talents <3603 kikkar > of gold <2091 
zahab >.



 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > gave <5414 nathan > [him] all 
<3605 kol > the silver <3701 keceph > that was found <4672 
matsa> > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 and in the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the king's <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 >, and 
[from] the pillars <0547 >om@nah > which <0834 >aher > Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
had overlaid <6823 tsaphah >, and gave <5414 nathan > it to the 
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.



 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 <3923 
Lachiysh > to king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with 
a great <3515 kabed > host <2426 cheyl > against Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >. And they went <5927 <alah > up and came <0935 
bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. And when they were 
come <5927 <alah > up, they came <0935 bow> > and stood <5975 
<amad > by the conduit <8585 t@<alah > of the upper <5945 
>elyown > pool <1295 b@rekah >, which <0834 >aher > [is] in the 
highway <4546 m@cillah > of the fuller's <3526 kabac > field 
<7704 sadeh >.



 18 And when they had called <7121 qara> > to the king <4428 
melek >, there came <3318 yatsa> > out to them Eliakim <0471 
>Elyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, 
which <0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 
bayith >, and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar >, 
and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > the son <1121 ben > of Asaph <0623 
>Acaph > the recorder <2142 zakar >.



 19 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
 Speak <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396 
Chizqiyah >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great 
<1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of 
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, What <4100 mah > confidence <0986 
bittachown > [is] this <2088 zeh > wherein <0834 >aher > thou 
trustest <0982 batach >?



 20 Thou sayest <0559 >amar >, (but [they are but] vain <8193 
saphah > words <1697 dabar >,) [I have] counsel <6098 <etsah > 
and strength <1369 g@buwrah > for the war <4421 milchamah >. Now 
<6258 <attah > on <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > dost thou trust 
<0982 batach >, that thou rebellest <4775 marad > against me?



 21 Now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, thou trustest 
<0982 batach > upon the staff <4938 mish<enah > of this <2088 
zeh > bruised <7533 ratsats > reed <7070 qaneh >, [even] upon 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, on <5921 <al > which <0834 >aher > if 
<0834 >aher > a man <0376 >iysh > lean <5564 camak >, it will go 
<0935 bow> > into his hand <3709 kaph >, and pierce <5344 naqab

melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > unto all <3605 kol > that 
trust <0982 batach > on <5921 <al > him.



 22 But if <3588 kiy > ye say <0559 >amar > unto me, We trust 
<0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 
>elohiym >: [is] not that he, whose high <1116 bamah > places 
and whose altars <4196 mizbeach > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > 
hath taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >, and hath said <0559 
>amar > to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, Ye shall worship <7812 shachah > before <6440 
paniym > this <2088 zeh > altar <4196 mizbeach > in Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >?



 23 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, I pray <4994 na> > thee, give 
pledges <6148 <arab > to my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and I will deliver <5414 
nathan > thee two thousand <0505 >eleph > horses <5483 cuwc >, 
if <0518 >im > thou be able <3201 yakol > on thy part to set 
<5414 nathan > riders <7392 rakab > upon them.



 24 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the 
face <6440 paniym > of one <0259 >echad > captain <6346 pechah > 
of the least <6996 qatan > of my master's <0113 >adown > 
servants <5650 <ebed >, and put thy trust <0982 batach > on 
<5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb > 
and for horsemen <6571 parash >?



 25 Am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without <1107 
bil<adey > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > this 
<2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > to destroy <7843 shachath > it? 
The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to me, Go <5927 
<alah > up against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 
>erets >, and destroy <7843 shachath > it.



 26 Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son 
<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, and Shebna <7644 
Shebna> >, and Joah <3098 Yow>ach >, unto Rabshakeh <7262 
Rabshaqeh >, Speak <1696 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, to 
thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the Syrian <0762 >Aramiyth > 
language; for we understand <8085 shama< > [it]: and talk <1696 
dabar > not with us in the Jews <3066 Y@huwdiyth >' language in 
the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am > that [are] on 
<5921 <al > the wall <2346 chowmah >.



 27 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
 Hath my master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy 
master <0113 >adown >, and to thee, to speak <1696 dabar > these 
<0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >? [hath he] not [sent me] to 
the men <0582 >enowsh > which sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > 
the wall <2346 chowmah >, that they may eat <0398 >akal > their 
own dung, and drink <8354 shathah > their own piss <7890 shayin

 28 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 <amad > and 
cried <7121 qara> > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl

dabar >, saying <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word 
<1697 dabar > of the great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, 
the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >:



 29 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, 
Let not Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > deceive <5377 nasha> > you: 
for he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver <5337 natsal > 
you out of his hand <3027 yad >:





 30 Neither <0408 >al > let Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > make you 
trust <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559

natsal > us, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall not 
be delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the 
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.



 31 Hearken <8085 shama< > not to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >: 
for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > 
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, Make <6213 <asah > [an agreement] 
with me by a present <1293 B@rakah >, and come <3318 yatsa> > 
out to me, and [then] eat <0398 >akal > ye every man <0376 >iysh

 32 Until <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > and take <3947 laqach

and vineyards <3754 kerem >, a land <0776 >erets > of oil <3323 
yitshar > olive <2132 zayith > and of honey <1706 d@bash >, that 
ye may live <2421 chayah >, and not die <4191 muwth >: and 
hearken <8085 shama< > not unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, when 
<3588 kiy > he persuadeth <5496 cuwth > you, saying <0559 >amar

 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 
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >?



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

C@pharvayim >, Hena <2012 Hena< >, and Ivah <5755 <Ivvah >? have 
they delivered <5337 natsal > Samaria <8111 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 of

deliver <5337 natsal > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > out of 
mine hand <3027 yad >?



 36 But the people <5971 <am > held <2790 charash > their peace 
<2790 charash >, and answered <6030 <anah > him not a word <1697 
dabar >: for the king's <4428 melek > commandment <4687 mitsvah

 37 Then came <0935 bow> > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son 
<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, which <0834 >aher >

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>

 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, which

 3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith

for the children <1121 ben > are come <0935 bow> > to the birth 
<4866 mishber >, and [there is] not strength <3581 koach > to 
bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad >.



 4 It may <0194 >uwlay > be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God 
<0430 >elohiym > will hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the 
words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh >, whom <0834

master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > to reproach 
<2778 charaph. > the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym >; 
and will reprove <3198 yakach > the words <1697 dabar > which 
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > 
hath heard <8085 shama< >: wherefore lift <5375 nasa> > up [thy] 
prayer <8605 t@phillah > for the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > that 
are left <4672 matsa> >.



 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 <3068 
Y@hovah >, Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words <1697 dabar

<0834 >aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek

 7 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <5414 nathan > a blast <7307 
ruwach > upon him, and he shall hear <8085 shama< > a rumour 
<8052 sh@muw<ah >, and shall return <7725 shuwb > to his own 
land <0776 >erets >; and I will cause him to fall <5307 naphal > 
by the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776 >erets >.



 8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and 
found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 
>Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah 
<3841 Libnah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was 
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> > out to 
fight <3898 lacham > against thee: he sent <7971 shalach > 
messengers <4397 mal>ak > again <7725 shuwb > unto Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Let not thy God <0430 >elohiym > in whom 
<0834 >aher > thou trustest <0982 batach > deceive <5377 nasha> 
> thee, saying <0559 >amar >, Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
shall not be delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > 
of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.



 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 >, and 
Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the 
children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher > 
[were] in Thelasar <8515 T@la>ssar >?



 13 Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the king <4428 melek > of Hamath 
<2574 Chamath >, and the king <4428 melek > of Arpad <0774 
>Arpad >, and the king <4428 melek > of the city <5892 <iyr > of 
Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >, of Hena <2012 Hena< >, and Ivah 
<5755 <Ivvah >?



 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 > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and spread <6566 paras > it before 
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > before 
<6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar >, 
O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, which dwellest <3427 yashab > [between] the 
cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, thou art the God <0430 >elohiym >, 
[even] thou alone <0905 bad >, of all <3605 kol > the kingdoms 
<4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets >; thou hast made 
<6213 <asah > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >.



 16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, bow <5186 natah > down <5186 natah > 
thine ear <0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >: open <6491 
paqach >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and 
see <7200 ra>ah >: and hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar 
> of Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb >, which <0834 >aher > hath 
sent <7971 shalach > him to reproach <2778 charaph. > the living 
<2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym >.



 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 >erets >,



 18 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym > 
into the fire <0784 >esh >: for they [were] no <3808 lo> > gods 
<0430 >elohiym >, but the work <4639 ma<aseh > of men's <0120 
>adam > hands <3027 yad >, wood <6086 <ets > and stone <68>: 
therefore they have destroyed <6> them.



 19 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God 
<0430 >elohiym >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, save <3467 yasha< 
> thou us out of his hand <3027 yad >, that all <3605 kol > the 
kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets > may know 
<3045 yada< > that thou [art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 
>elohiym >, [even] thou only <0905 bad >.



 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 > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >, [That] which <0834 >aher > thou hast prayed <6419 
palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > 
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > I have heard 
<8085 shama< >.





 21 This <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > that the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > 
him; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > the daughter <1323 bath > of 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > hath despised <0959 bazah > thee, [and] 
laughed <3932 la<ag > thee to scorn; the daughter <1323 bath > 
of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath shaken <5128 nuwa< > her 
head <7218 ro>sh > at thee.



 22 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > and blasphemed 
<1442 gadaph >? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > hast 
thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [thy] voice <6963 qowl >, and lifted 
<5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > on high <4791 marowm 
>? [even] against <5921 <al > the Holy <6918 qadowsh > [One] of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 23 By thy messengers <4397 mal>ak > thou hast reproached <2778 
charaph. > the Lord <3068 Y@hovah >, and hast said <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 
> up all <3605 kol > the rivers <2975 y@<or > of besieged <4693 
matsowr > places.



 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] ruinous <5327 
natsah > heaps <1530 gal >.



 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] the 
green <3410 yarka> > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682 
chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted 
<7711 sh@dephah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm > 
up.



 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 
>el > me and thy tumult <7600 sha>anan > is come <5927 <alah > 
up into mine ears <0241 >ozen >, therefore I will put <7760 suwm 
> my hook <2397 chach > in thy nose <0639 >aph >, and my bridle 
<4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah >, and I will turn <7725 
shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870 derek > by 
which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> >.



 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 springeth 
<7823 shachiyc > of the same; and in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy 
> year <8141 shaneh > sow <2232 zara< > ye, and reap <7114 
qatsar >, and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem >, and 
eat <0398 >akal > the fruits <6529 p@riy > thereof.



 30 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413 
p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
shall yet again <3254 yacaph > take <3947 laqach > root <8328 
sheresh > downward <4295 mattah >, and bear <6213 <asah > fruit 
<6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al >.



 31 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >, 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 
bow> > into <0413 >el > this city <5892 <iyr >, nor <3808 lo> > 
shoot <3384 yarah > an arrow <2671 chets > there <8033 sham >, 
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 >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 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 chamesh > 
thousand <0505 >eleph >: and when they arose <7925 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 > 
his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 
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

in order <6680 tsavah >; for thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, 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 > in 
thy sight <5869 <ayin >. And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > 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 >amar

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> > thee: 
on the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > thou 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

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

 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

 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 >

<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 > that was found <4672 matsa> > 
in his treasures <0214 >owtsar >: 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 > said <0559 
>amar > these <0428 >el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh >? 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 > them.



 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> > 
from thee, which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget <3205 yalad >, 
shall they take <3947 laqach > away; and they shall be 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 > and truth <0571 
>emeth > be in my days <3117 yowm >?



 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 <iyr >, 
[are] they not written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > 
of the chronicles <1697 dabar > of the kings <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >?



 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

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
