Revised Version 1895

1And ElishaH477 saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, TomorrowH4279 aboutH1697 this time shall a measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 be sold for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111. 2Then the captain on whoseH834 handH3027 the kingH4428 leanedH8172 answeredH559 the manH376 of GodH430, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, ifH2005 the LORDH3068 should makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, might this thingH1697 be? And he saidH559, BeholdH2009, thou shalt seeH7200 it with thine eyesH5869, but shalt notH3808 eatH398 thereof. 3NowH1961 there were fourH702 leprousH6879 menH376 at the entering in of the gateH8179: and they saidH559 one to anotherH7453, WhyH4100 sitH3427 weH587 hereH6311 untilH5704 weH587 dieH4191? 4IfH518 weH518 sayH559, WeH518 will enterH935 intoH413 the cityH5892, then the famineH7458 is in the cityH5892, and weH518 shall dieH4191 there: and ifH518 weH518 sitH3427 stillH559 hereH6311, weH518 dieH4191 also. NowH6258 therefore comeH935, and letH6258 usH413 fallH5307 unto the hostH4264 of the Syrians: ifH518 they save usH413 aliveH2421, weH518 shall liveH3427; and ifH518 they killH4191 usH413, weH518 shall but dieH4191. 5And they roseH6965 upH6965 in the twilightH5399, to goH935 unto the campH4264 of the Syrians: and when they were comeH935 to the outermost part of the campH4264 of the Syrians, beholdH2009, there was noH369 manH376 there. 6For the LordH136 had madeH8085 the hostH4264 of the Syrians to hearH8085 a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, evenH853 the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH4264: and they saidH559 one to anotherH251, LoH2009, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936 againstH5921 usH413 the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 uponH5921 usH413. 7Wherefore they aroseH6965 and fledH5127 in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800 their tentsH168, and their horsesH5483, and their asses, evenH853 the campH4264 as it was, and fledH5127 for their lifeH5315. 8And when theseH428 lepersH6879 cameH935 to the outermost part of the campH4264, they wentH935 intoH413 one tentH168, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and carriedH5375 thence silverH3701, and goldH2091, and raiment, and wentH935 and hidH2934 it; and they cameH935 backH7725, and enteredH935 intoH413 anotherH312 tentH168, and carriedH5375 thence also, and wentH935 and hidH2934 it. 9Then they saidH559 one to anotherH7453, WeH587 doH6213 notH3808 wellH3651: this dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of good tidings, and weH587 holdH1004 our peace: ifH376 weH587 tarry tillH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216, punishmentH5771 will overtakeH4672 usH413: nowH6258 therefore comeH935, letH6258 usH413 goH935 and tellH5046 the king’sH4428 householdH1004. 10SoH7121 they cameH935 and calledH7121 unto the porter of the cityH5892: and they toldH5046 them, sayingH559, WeH3588 cameH935 to the campH4264 of the Syrians, and, beholdH2009, there was noH369 manH376 there, neitherH369 voiceH6963 of manH376, but the horsesH5483 tiedH631, and the asses tiedH631, and the tentsH168 as they were. 11And he calledH7121 the porters; and they toldH5046 it to the king’sH4428 householdH1004 withinH6441. 12And the kingH4428 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, and saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, I will nowH4994 shew youH834 whatH834 the Syrians have doneH6213 to usH4994. They knowH3045 that weH587 be hungryH7457; therefore are they goneH3318 outH3318 of the campH4264 to hideH2247 themselves in the fieldH7704, sayingH559, When they comeH935 outH3318 of the cityH5892, weH587 shall takeH3318 them aliveH2416, and getH6965 intoH413 the cityH5892. 13And one of his servantsH5650 answeredH559 and saidH559, LetH7971 someH4480 takeH3947, I prayH4994 thee, fiveH2568 of the horsesH5483 that remainH7604, whichH834 are leftH7604 in the city, (beholdH2009, they are as allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are leftH7604 in it; beholdH2009, they are as allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are consumedH8552:) and letH7971 usH4994 sendH7971 and seeH7200. 14They tookH3947 therefore twoH8147 chariotsH7393 with horsesH5483; and the kingH4428 sentH7971 afterH310 the hostH4264 of the Syrians, sayingH559, GoH7971 and seeH7200. 15And they wentH7725 afterH310 them unto JordanH3383: and, loH2009, allH3605 the wayH1870 was fullH4392 of garmentsH899 and vesselsH3627, whichH834 the Syrians had castH7993 awayH7725 in their hasteH2648. And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. 16And the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318, and spoiled the campH4264 of the Syrians. SoH1961 a measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 was soldH3318 for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 17And the kingH4428 appointedH6485 the captain on whoseH834 handH3027 he leanedH8172 to have the chargeH5921 of the gateH8179: and the peopleH5971 trode uponH5921 him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191 as the manH376 of GodH430 had saidH1696, who spake when the kingH4428 cameH3381 downH3381 to him. 18And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as the manH376 of GodH430 had spokenH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, and a measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 for a shekelH8255, shall be tomorrowH4279 aboutH1961 this time in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; 19and that captain answeredH559 the manH376 of GodH430, and saidH559, NowH1961, beholdH2009, ifH2005 the LORDH3068 should makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, might suchH2088 a thingH1697 be? and he saidH559, BeholdH2009, thou shalt seeH7200 it with thine eyesH5869, but shalt notH3808 eatH398 thereof: 20it cameH1961 to passH1961 evenH3651 soH3651 unto him; for the peopleH5971 trode uponH1961 him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191.
