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. ”
Now Elisha had spoken
to the woman ,
whose son he had restored to life, saying,
Arise, and
go
you and your household ,
and sojourn
wherever you can sojourn:
for Yahweh
has called
for
a famine ;
and it shall
also
come on
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.
The woman arose,
and
did
according
to the word
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.
It
happened
at the seven years '
end
, that
the woman returned out
of
the land of the Philistines :
and
she went forth
to cry
to
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. ”
Now the king was
talking
with
Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Please tell
me all the great things that
Elisha has 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. ”
It
happened,
as
he
was telling the king how he
had restored
to life him
who
was
dead,
that
behold,
the woman ,
whose son he
had restored
to life,
cried
to the king for her house and for
her land. 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. ”
When the king asked the woman, she told
him
. So the king appointed to
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. ”
Elisha came to Damascus ;
and
Benhadad
the
king of Syria
was sick ;
and it
was told him
, saying,
The man of God is
come here.
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
? ’”
The king said to Hazael, Take a present
in your hand, and
go ,
meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh
by
him, saying,
Shall
I recover of
this sickness
?
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, Your son Benhadad
king of Syria
has sent me to you
, saying,
Shall
I recover of
this sickness
?
Elisha answered
, “
Go and
tell him, ‘
You will
surely recover .’
But
the
LORD
has shown me that in
fact
he will
die. ”
Elisha said
to
him
, Go ,
tell him, You shall
surely recover ;
however
Yahweh
has shown 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
.
He
settled
his gaze steadfastly
[
on him ],
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. ”
Hazael
said,
Why weeps
my lord? He
answered,
Because I know the evil that
you will do to the children
of
Israel:
their
strongholds
will you
set on
fire, and
their young men will
you
kill
with the sword, and
will
dash in
pieces
their little ones, 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
. ”
Hazael
said,
But what
is
your servant, who
is
but
a dog, that
he
should
do this
great
thing? Elisha answered, Yahweh
has shown me that you shall
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. ”
Then
he
departed
from
Elisha ,
and came
to his master ;
who said
to
him, What said
Elisha to you? He answered
, He told me that you would 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.
It
happened
on
the next day ,
that
he
took the
coverlet
, and
dipped it in water, and spread it on
his
face ,
so that
he
died :
and Hazael reigned in his place.
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.
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-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
.
He
walked in the way
of the kings of Israel, as did
the house of Ahab :
for he had
the
daughter of Ahab as
wife;
and he
did that
which
was
evil in the sight of Yahweh
.
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
.
However
Yahweh
would
not
destroy Judah, for
David
his
servant's
sake,
as
he promised him
to give
to
him
a lamp for his children
always
.
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
.
Then
Joram
passed
over to Zair ,
and
all his chariots with
him :
and he rose up by night, and
struck
the
Edomites
who
surrounded
him
, and
the
captains
of
the
chariots;
and
the
people
fled to their tents
.
So to
this
day
Edom has
been
in
rebellion
against
the hand of Judah. Likewise,
Libnah rebelled
at the same time.
So Edom revolted
from
under
the hand of Judah to
this
day
. Then
did
Libnah revolt
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?
The rest of the acts of Joram
, and
all that
he
did
, aren't
they 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.
Joram
slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried with his
fathers
in the city of David ;
and Ahaziah
his son reigned in his place.
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.
Twenty-two years old was
Ahaziah
when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned one year in
Jerusalem
. 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.
He
walked in the way
of the house of Ahab ,
and did that
which
was
evil in the sight of Yahweh,
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.
He
went with Joram the
son of Ahab to war
against Hazael king of Syria
at Ramoth-gilead :
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
.
King Joram returned to be
healed
in
Jezreel of
the wounds which
the Syrians
had given
him at Ramah ,
when he fought against Hazael king of Syria
. Ahaziah the
son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see
Joram the
son of Ahab in
Jezreel
, because he
was
sick
.
