2 Kings 8

1Then ElishaH477 spokeH1696 to the womanH802, whose sonH1121 he had restored to lifeH2421, sayingH559, AriseH6965, and goH3212 thou and thy householdH1004, and sojournH1481 whereverH834 thou canst sojournH1481: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 for a famineH7458; and it shall also comeH935 upon the landH776 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. 2And the womanH802 aroseH6965, and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and she wentH3212 with her householdH1004, and sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. 3And it came to pass at the sevenH7651 yearsH8141’ endH7097, that the womanH802 returnedH7725 from the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430: and she went forthH3318 to appealH6817 to the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her landH7704. 4And the kingH4428 talkedH1696 with GehaziH1522 the servantH5288 of the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, TellH5608 me, I pray thee, all the great thingsH1419 that ElishaH477 hath doneH6213. 5And it came to pass, as he was tellingH5608 the kingH4428 how he had restoredH2421 a dead bodyH4191 to lifeH2421, that, behold, the womanH802, whose sonH1121 he had restored to lifeH2421, appealedH6817 to the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her landH7704. And GehaziH1522 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, this is the womanH802, and this is her sonH1121, whom ElishaH477 restored to lifeH2421. 6And when the kingH4428 askedH7592 the womanH802, she toldH5608 him. So the kingH4428 appointedH5414 to her a certainH259 officerH5631, sayingH559, RestoreH7725 all that was hers, and all the fruitsH8393 of the fieldH7704 since the dayH3117 that she leftH5800 the landH776, even till now.1

7And ElishaH477 cameH935 to DamascusH1834; and BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sickH2470; and it was toldH5046 to him, sayingH559, The manH376 of GodH430 hath comeH935 hereH2008. 8And the kingH4428 saidH559 to HazaelH2371, TakeH3947 a presentH4503 in thy handH3027, and goH3212, meetH7125 the manH376 of GodH430, and enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483? 9So HazaelH2371 wentH3212 to meetH7125 him, and tookH3947 a presentH4503 with himH3027, even of every good thingH2898 of DamascusH1834, fortyH705 camelsH1581’ burdenH4853, and cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, and saidH559, Thy sonH1121 BenhadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 hath sentH7971 me to thee, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483?2 10And ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, GoH3212, sayH559 to him, Thou mayest certainlyH2421 recoverH2421: but the LORDH3068 hath showedH7200 me that he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191. 11And he settledH5975 his countenanceH6440 steadfastlyH7760, until he was ashamedH954: and the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058.3 12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: their strong holdsH4013 wilt thou setH7971 on fireH784, and their young menH970 wilt thou slayH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 their childrenH5768, and rip upH1234 their women with childH2030. 13And HazaelH2371 saidH559, But what, is thy servantH5650 a dogH3611, that he should doH6213 this greatH1419 thingH1697? And ElishaH477 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 hath shownH7200 me that thou shalt be kingH4428 over SyriaH758. 14So he departedH3212 from ElishaH477, and cameH935 to his masterH113; who saidH559 to him, What saidH559 ElishaH477 to thee? And he answeredH559, He toldH559 me that thou shouldest surelyH2421 recoverH2421. 15And it came to pass on the next dayH4283, that he tookH3947 a thick clothH4346, and dippedH2881 it in waterH4325, and spreadH6566 it on his faceH6440, so that he diedH4191: and HazaelH2371 reignedH4427 in his stead.

16And in the fifthH2568 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 being then kingH4428 of JudahH3063, JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.4 17ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. 18And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 19Yet the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063 for DavidH1732 his servant’sH5650 sake, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 him alwaysH3117 a lightH5216, and to his childrenH1121.5 20In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves. 21So JoramH3141 went overH5674 to ZairH6811, and all the chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 who surroundedH5437 him, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168. 22Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 to this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256. 23And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoramH3141, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 24And JoramH3141 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.6

25In the twelfthH8147H6240H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 begin to reignH4427. 26TwoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.7 27And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as did the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he was the son in lawH2860 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256. 28And he wentH3212 with JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 to the warH4421 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 in RamothgileadH7433H1568; and the SyriansH761 woundedH5221 JoramH3141. 29And kingH4428 JoramH3141 went backH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221 him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. And AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 in JezreelH3157, because he was sickH2470.8910
