Now
Elisha had
said
to
the woman whose son he had restored to life, “
Arise, you
and your
household;
go and live
as
a
foreigner
wherever
you
can.
For the LORD has
decreed
a seven-year
famine ,
and it has
already
come to
the land. ”
Then
spake
Elisha unto
the woman ,
whose son he had restored to life, saying,
Arise, and go thou
and thine
household,
and
sojourn
wheresoever
thou
canst
sojourn:
for the LORD hath
called
for
a famine ;
and it shall
also
come upon
the land seven
years
.
So
the woman had
proceeded
to
do
as
the man of God had
instructed.
And she and
her household lived
as
foreigners
for
seven
years
in the land of the Philistines.
And
the woman arose,
and
did
after
the saying
of
the
man of God :
and she went
with
her household ,
and
sojourned
in the land of the Philistines seven
years
.
At the end
of
seven years, when
the woman returned from
the land of the Philistines ,
she went to the king to
appeal
for her house and her land.
And
it
came
to
pass
at the seven years '
end
, that
the woman returned out
of
the land of the Philistines :
and
she went forth
to cry
unto
the king for her house and for
her land.
Now
the king had
been
speaking
to
Gehazi ,
the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please
relate
to
me all the great things Elisha has
done. ”
And
the king talked
with
Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell
me ,
I
pray
thee,
all the great things that
Elisha hath
done.
And Gehazi
was telling the king how Elisha
had brought
the
dead back
to life .
Just
then
the woman whose son Elisha
had revived
came
to appeal
to the king for her house and her land. So
Gehazi said, “
My lord the
king, this is the woman, and this is the
son Elisha restored to life. ”
And it
came
to
pass,
as
he
was telling the king how he
had restored
a
dead body
to life ,
that,
behold,
the woman ,
whose son he
had restored
to life,
cried
to the king for her house and for
her land. And
Gehazi said, My lord ,
O
king, this is the woman, and this is her
son ,
whom
Elisha restored to life.
When the king asked the woman, she confirmed
it
. So the king appointed for
her an
officer, saying, “
Restore all that was hers, along
with
all the proceeds
of the field from
the day that she left the country
until now. ”
And
when the king asked the woman, she told
him
. So the king appointed unto
her a
certain
officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and
all the fruits
of the field since
the day that she left the land,
even
until now.
Then
Elisha came to Damascus while
Ben-hadad
king of Aram
was sick ,
and the
king
was told, “
The man of God has
come here
. ”
And
Elisha came to Damascus ;
and
Benhadad
the
king of Syria
was sick ;
and it
was told him
, saying,
The man of God is
come hither
.
So
the king said to
Hazael, “
Take a gift
in your
hand, go to
meet the man of God, and inquire
of the LORD through
him, ‘Will
I recover from
this illness
? ’”
And
the king said unto
Hazael, Take a present
in thine
hand, and
go ,
meet the man of God, and enquire
of the LORD by
him, saying,
Shall
I recover of
this disease
?
So Hazael went to meet Elisha
, taking
with him a
gift
of
forty
camel
loads
of every good thing from
Damascus .
And he
went
in
and stood before him and said, “Your
son Ben-hadad
king of Aram
has
sent me to ask
, ‘Will
I recover from
this illness
? ’”
So Hazael went to meet him
, and
took
a
present
with him ,
even
of every good thing of
Damascus ,
forty
camels'
burden,
and came
and stood before him ,
and said, Thy
son Benhadad
king of Syria
hath
sent me to thee
, saying,
Shall
I recover of
this disease
?
Elisha answered
, “
Go and
tell
him, ‘You
will
surely
recover .’
But
the LORD has
shown
me that in
fact
he will
die. ”
And
Elisha said
unto
him
, Go ,
say
unto
him, Thou
mayest
certainly
recover :
howbeit
the LORD hath
showed
me that he shall
surely
die.
Elisha
fixed
his gaze
steadily
on
him
until Hazael
became
uncomfortable.
Then
the man of God began
to
weep
.
And
he
settled
his countenance
stedfastly,
until he
was
ashamed:
and
the man of God wept
.
“
Why is
my lord weeping
? ”
asked
Hazael.
“
Because I know the evil you
will
do to
the Israelites,”
Elisha
replied.
“You
will
set fire to
their
fortresses
, kill
their young men with the sword, dash their little
ones
to
pieces
, and rip open
their pregnant
women. ”
And
Hazael
said,
Why weepeth
my lord? And
he
answered,
Because I know the evil that
thou
wilt
do unto
the children
of
Israel:
their
strong
holds
wilt
thou
set on
fire, and
their young men wilt
thou
slay
with the sword, and
wilt
dash their children
, and rip up
their women with
child
.
“
But how
could
your
servant
, a mere
dog, do such
a
monstrous
thing? ”
said
Hazael.
And Elisha answered, “
The LORD has
shown
me that you
will
be king over Aram
. ”
And
Hazael
said,
But what
, is
thy
servant
a dog, that
he
should
do this
great
thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath
showed
me that thou
shalt
be king over Syria
.
So Hazael
left
Elisha and went
to his master ,
who asked
him, “
What did
Elisha say
to you
? ”
And he replied
, “
He told me that you
would
surely recover. ”
So he
departed
from
Elisha ,
and came
to his master ;
who said
to
him, What said
Elisha to thee
? And he answered
, He told me that thou
shouldest
surely recover.
But
the next
day
Hazael
took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over
the
king’s
face .
So Ben-hadad
died ,
and Hazael reigned in his place
.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
he
took a thick cloth, and
dipped it in water, and spread it on
his
face ,
so that
he
died :
and Hazael reigned in his stead
.
In the fifth year of the
reign
of
Joram son of Ahab over
Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded
his
father
as
king of Judah.
And
in the fifth year of Joram the
son of Ahab king
of
Israel, Jehoshaphat
being
then
king
of
Judah,
Jehoram the
son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began
to
reign
.
Jehoram
was
thirty -
two years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in
Jerusalem
eight years.
Thirty and
two years old was
he
when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned eight years in
Jerusalem
.
And Jehoram
walked in the ways
of the kings of Israel, just
as the house of Ahab had
done.
For he
married
a
daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
And he
walked in the way
of the kings of Israel, as did
the house of Ahab :
for the
daughter of Ahab was
his
wife:
and he
did evil in the sight of the LORD.
Yet for
the sake
of
His
servant
David,
the
LORD was
unwilling
to
destroy Judah, since
He had
promised to maintain
a lamp
for
David
and his descendants
forever
.
Yet the LORD would
not
destroy Judah for
David
his
servant's
sake
, as
he promised him
to give
him
alway
a light,
and to
his children
.
In the
days of
Jehoram,
Edom rebelled
against
the hand of Judah and appointed
their
own
king.
In his
days Edom revolted
from
under
the hand of Judah ,
and made
a
king over
themselves
.
So Jehoram
crossed
over to Zair with
all his
chariots.
When
the Edomites
surrounded
him and his
chariot
commanders,
he rose up
and
attacked
by night .
His
troops
, however
, fled to
their homes
.
So Joram
went
over to Zair ,
and
all the chariots
with
him :
and he rose by night, and
smote
the
Edomites
which
compassed
him
about
, and
the
captains
of
the
chariots:
and
the
people
fled into
their tents
.
So
to
this
day
Edom has
been
in
rebellion
against
the hand of Judah. Likewise,
Libnah rebelled
at the same time.
Yet
Edom revolted
from
under
the hand of Judah unto
this
day
. Then
Libnah revolted
at the same time.
As
for
the rest of the acts of Jehoram
, along
with
all his
accomplishments
, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And
the rest of the acts of Joram
, and
all that
he
did
, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And Jehoram
rested
with his fathers and was buried with them
in the City of David .
And his son Ahaziah
reigned in his place
.
And Joram
slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried with his
fathers
in the city of David :
and Ahaziah
his son reigned in his stead
.
In the twelfth year of the
reign
of
Joram son of Ahab over
Israel ,
Ahaziah son of Jehoram became
king of Judah.
In the twelfth year of Joram the
son of Ahab king
of
Israel did
Ahaziah the
son of Jehoram king of Judah begin
to
reign
.
Ahaziah
was
twenty-
two years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in
Jerusalem
one year. His mother’s
name was Athaliah, the granddaughter
of Omri king of Israel.
Two and
twenty
years old was
Ahaziah
when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned one year in
Jerusalem
. And
his mother's
name was Athaliah, the daughter
of Omri king of Israel.
And Ahaziah
walked in the ways
of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD like
the house of Ahab ,
for he was a
son -
in -
law of the house of Ahab.
And he
walked in the way
of the house of Ahab ,
and did evil in the sight of the LORD ,
as
did
the house of Ahab :
for he was the
son in law of the house of Ahab.
Then
Ahaziah
went with Joram son of Ahab to fight
against Hazael king of Aram
at
Ramoth-gilead,
and the Arameans
wounded Joram.
And
he
went with Joram the
son of Ahab to the
war
against Hazael king of Syria
in
Ramothgilead;
and the Syrians
wounded Joram.
So
King Joram returned
to Jezreel to
recover
from
the wounds that
the Arameans
had inflicted
on
him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram
. Then
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel
to
visit
Joram son of Ahab, because Joram
had
been
wounded
.
And
king Joram went
back
to be
healed
in
Jezreel of
the wounds which
the Syrians
had given
him at Ramah ,
when he fought against Hazael king of Syria
. And
Ahaziah the
son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see
Joram the
son of Ahab in
Jezreel
, because he
was
sick
.
