2 Kings 8

Jehoram Restores the Shunammite's Land

1

Now  aElishah477 spokeh1696 to the womanh802 whoseh834 sonh1121 he had restoredh2421a to lifeh2421a, sayingh559, "Ariseh6965 and goh1980  1with your householdh1004, and sojournh1481a whereverh834 you can sojournh1481a; for the  bLORDh3068 has calledh7121 for a famineh7458, and  cit will evenh1571 comeh935 on the landh776 for sevenh7651 yearsh8141."

2

So the womanh802 aroseh6965 and didh6213a according to the wordh1697 of the manh376 of Godh430, and she wenth1980 with her householdh1004 and sojournedh1481a in the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430 sevenh7651 yearsh8141.

3

At the endh7097a of sevenh7651 yearsh8141, the womanh802 returnedh7725 from the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430; and she wenth3318 out to  1appealh6817 to the kingh4428 for her househ1004 and for her fieldh7704.

4

Now the kingh4428 was talkingh1696 with  aGehazih1522, the servanth5288 of the manh376 of Godh430, sayingh559, "Pleaseh4994 relateh5608 to me allh3605 the greath1419 thingsh1419 that Elishah477 has doneh6213a."

5

As he was relatingh5608 to the kingh4428  ahowh834 he had restoredh2421a to lifeh2421a the one who was deadh4191, beholdh2009, the womanh802 whoseh834 sonh1121 he had restoredh2421a to lifeh2421a  1appealedh6817 to the kingh4428 for her househ1004 and for her fieldh7704. And Gehazih1522 saidh559, "My lordh113, O kingh4428, thish2088 is the womanh802 and thish2088 is her sonh1121, whomh834 Elishah477 restoredh2421a to lifeh2421a."

6

When the kingh4428 askedh7592 the womanh802, she relatedh5608 it to him. So the kingh4428 appointedh5414 for her a certainh259 officerh5631, sayingh559, "Restoreh7725 allh3605 that was hers and allh3605 the produceh8393 of the fieldh7704 from the dayh3117 that she lefth5800a the landh776 even untilh5704 nowh6258."

Elisha Predicts Evil from Hazael

7

Then Elishah477 cameh935 to  aDamascush1834. Now  bBen-hadadh1130 kingh4428 of Aramh758 was sickh2470a, and it was toldh5046 him, sayingh559, " cThe manh376 of Godh430 has comeh935 hereh5704h2008."

8

The kingh4428 saidh559 to  aHazaelh2371, " bTakeh3947 a gifth4503 in your handh3027 and goh1980 to meeth7122 the manh376 of Godh430, and  cinquireh1875 of the LORDh3068 by him, sayingh559, `Will I recoverh2421a from thish2088 sicknessh2483?' "

9

So Hazaelh2371 wenth1980 to meeth7122 him and tookh3947 a gifth4503 in his handh3027, even everyh3605 kind of goodh2898 thingh2898 of Damascush1834, fortyh705 camels'h1581 loadsh4853a; and he cameh935 and stoodh5975 beforeh6440 him and saidh559, " aYour sonh1121 Ben-hadadh1130 kingh4428 of Aramh758 has senth7971 me to you, sayingh559, `Will I recoverh2421a from thish2088 sicknessh2483?' "

10

Then Elishah477 saidh559 to him, " aGoh1980, sayh559 to him, `You will surelyh2421a recoverh2421a,' but the  bLORDh3068 has shownh7200 me that he will certainlyh4191 dieh4191."

11

He  1fixedh5975 his gazeh6440 steadilyh7760 on him  auntilh5704 he was ashamedh954, and  bthe manh376 of Godh430 wepth1058.

12

Hazaelh2371 saidh559, "Whyh4069 does my lordh113 weeph1058?" Then he  1answeredh559, "Becauseh3588  aI knowh3045 the evilh7463a that you will doh6213a to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478: their strongholdsh4013 you will seth7971 on fireh784, and their youngh970 menh970 you will killh2026 with the swordh2719, and their littleh5768 onesh5768 you  bwill dashh7376 in piecesh7376, and their womenh2030 with childh2030 you will riph1234 up."

13

Then Hazaelh2371 saidh559, "But whath4100 is your servanth5650,  awho is but a dogh3611, that he should doh6213a thish2088 greath1419 thingh1697?" And Elishah477  1answeredh559, " bThe LORDh3068 has shownh7200 me that you will be kingh4428 overh5921 Aramh758."

14

So he departedh1980 from Elishah477 and returnedh935 to his masterh113, who saidh559 to him, "Whath4100 did Elishah477 sayh559 to you?" And he  1answeredh559, "He toldh559 me that  ayou would surelyh2421a recoverh2421a."

15

On the followingh4283 dayh4283, he tookh3947 the coverh4345 and dippedh2881 it in waterh4325 and spreadh6566 it on his faceh6440,  aso that he diedh4191. And Hazaelh2371 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

Another Jehoram Reigns in Judah

16

Now in the fifthh2568 yearh8141 of  aJoramh3141 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, Jehoshaphath3092 being then the kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Jehoramh3088 the sonh1121 of Jehoshaphath3092 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 becameh4427a kingh4427a.

17

He was  athirty-twoh7970h8147 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he becameh4427a kingh4427a, and he reignedh4427a eighth8083 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389.

18

He walkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of the kingsh4428 of Israelh3478, justh3512c as the househ1004 of Ahabh256 had doneh6213a, for  athe daughterh1323 of Ahabh256 becameh1961 his wifeh802; and he didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068.

19

However, the LORDh3068 was not willingh14 to destroyh7843 Judahh3063, for the sakeh4616 of Davidh1732 His servanth5650,  asinceh3512c He had  1promisedh559 him to giveh5414 a  2lamph5215a to him through his sonsh1121 alwaysh3605h3117.

20

In his daysh3117  aEdomh112b revoltedh6586 from underh8478 the handh3027 of Judahh3063, and madeh4427a a kingh4427a overh5921 themselves.

21

Then Joramh3141 crossedh5674a overh5674a to Zairh6811, and allh3605 his chariotsh7393 with him. And he aroseh6965 by nighth3915 and struckh5221 the Edomitesh112b who had surroundedh5437 him and the captainsh8269 of the chariotsh7393;  abut his  1armyh5971a fledh5127 to their tentsh168.

22

 aSo Edomh112b revoltedh6586  1againsth4480h8478h3027 Judahh3063 to thish2088 dayh3117. Thenh227  bLibnahh3841 revoltedh6586 at the sameh1931 timeh6256.

23

The resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Joramh3141 and allh3605 that he didh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063?

Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah

24

So Joramh3141 slepth7901 with his fathersh1 and  awas buriedh6912 with his fathersh1 in the cityh5892b of Davidh1732; and  bAhaziahh274 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

25

 aIn the twelfthh8147h6240 yearh8141 of Joramh3141 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, Ahaziahh274 the sonh1121 of Jehoramh3088 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 began to reignh4427a.

26

 aAhaziahh274 was twenty-twoh6242h8147 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he becameh4427a kingh4427a, and he reignedh4427a oneh259 yearh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. And his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Athaliahh6271 the granddaughterh1323 of Omrih6018 kingh4428 of Israelh3478.

27

 aHe walkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of the househ1004 of Ahabh256 and didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, like the househ1004 of Ahabh256 had done, becauseh3588 he was a son-in-lawh2860a of the househ1004 of Ahabh256.

28

Then he wenth1980 with Joramh3141 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 to warh4421 againsth5973  aHazaelh2371 kingh4428 of Aramh758 at  bRamoth-gileadh7433, and the Arameansh761  1woundedh5221 Joramh3141.

29

So  aKingh4428 Joramh3141 returnedh7725 to be healedh7495 in Jezreelh3157 of the woundsh4347 whichh834 the Arameansh761 had  1inflictedh5221 on him at  bRamahh7414 when he foughth3898a againsth854 Hazaelh2371 kingh4428 of Aramh758. Then  cAhaziahh274 the sonh1121 of Jehoramh3088 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 wenth3381 downh3381 to seeh7200 Joramh3141 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 in Jezreelh3157 becauseh3588 he was sickh2470a.
