Young's Literal Translation
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. ”
And
Elisha spake
unto
the woman whose son he had revived
, saying
, `Rise
and go ,
thou
and thy
household,
and
sojourn
where
thou
dost
sojourn,
for Jehovah
hath
called
for
a famine, and also,
it is
coming
unto
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 riseth,
and
doth
according
to the word
of
the
man of God ,
and goeth,
she and her household ,
and
sojourneth
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
cometh
to
pass,
at the end of seven years, that
the woman turneth
back
from the land of the Philistines, and
goeth
out
to cry
unto
the king ,
for her house ,
and for
her field
.
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 is
speaking unto
Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, `Recount,
I
pray
thee,
to me ,
the whole
of
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
cometh
to
pass,
he
is
recounting
to
the king how he
had revived
the dead ,
and
lo,
the woman whose son he
had revived is
crying
unto
the king ,
for her house and for
her field,
and
Gehazi saith
, `
My lord ,
O
king, this `
is '
the woman, and this her
son ,
whom
Elisha revived
. '
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
the king asketh
at
the woman, and
she recounteth
to
him,
and
the king appointeth
to
her a
certain
eunuch
, saying, `Give
back
all that she
hath
, and
all the increase
of the field from the day of
her
leaving
the land
even
till
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 cometh
in
to Damascus ,
and
Ben-Hadad king of Aram is
sick, and it
is
declared
to
him
, saying,
`
The man of God hath
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 saith
unto
Hazael, `
Take in thy
hand a
present
, and
go to meet the man of God, and thou
hast
sought
Jehovah
by
him, saying,
Do
I revive
from 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
? ’”
And
Hazael goeth
to meet him ,
and
taketh
a present
in
his
hand,
even
of every good thing of
Damascus ,
a
burden
of
forty
camels,
and he cometh
in and standeth
before him ,
and saith
, `Thy
son Ben-Hadad ,
king of Aram ,
hath
sent me unto
thee
, saying,
Do
I revive
from this sickness
? '
Elisha answered
, “
Go and
tell
him
, ‘You
will
surely
recover.’
But
the
LORD
has
shown
me that in
fact
he will
die. ”
And
Elisha saith
unto
him
, `
Go, say,
Thou
dost
certainly
not
revive,
seeing
Jehovah
hath
shewed
me that he doth
surely
die. '
Elisha
fixed
his gaze
steadily
on
him
until
Hazael
became
uncomfortable.
Then
the man of God began
to
weep
.
And
he
setteth
his face,
yea,
he
setteth
`it'
till
he
is
ashamed,
and
the man of God weepeth
.
“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
saith,
`Wherefore
is my lord weeping? '
and
he
saith,
`
Because I have
known
the evil that
thou
dost
to the sons
of
Israel
--
their fenced
places
thou
dost
send
into
fire
, and
their young men with sword thou
dost
slay
, and
their sucklings
thou
dost
dash
to pieces, and their pregnant women thou
dost
rip
up
. '
“
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
saith,
`
But what
, `is'
thy
servant
the
dog, that
he
doth
this
great
thing? '
And Elisha saith
, `Jehovah
hath
shewed
me thee
--
king of
Aram. '
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. ”
And
he
goeth
from
Elisha ,
and cometh
in
unto
his lord
, and
he
saith
unto
him, `
What said
Elisha to thee
? '
and he saith
, `
He said
to
me ,
Thou
dost
certainly
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
cometh
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
he
taketh
the
coarse
cloth, and
dippeth
in water, and spreadeth
on
his
face, and he
dieth,
and
Hazael reigneth
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 son of Ahab king
of
Israel --
and
Jehoshaphat
`is'
king
of
Judah
--
hath
Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah reigned;
Jehoram
was
thirty -
two years old
when
he became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight
years
.
a
son
of
thirty and
two years was
he in
his
reigning
, and eight
years
he hath
reigned 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
walketh
in the way
of the kings of Israel, as did
the house of Ahab ,
for a daughter of Ahab was
to
him
for
a
wife,
and he
doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
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
.
and
Jehovah
was
not
willing
to
destroy
Judah,
for the sake of David
his servant, as
He
said
to him
, to give
to
him
a lamp --
to
his sons
all
the
days
.
In the
days of
Jehoram,
Edom rebelled
against
the hand of Judah and appointed
their
own
king .
In his
days hath
Edom revolted
from
under
the hand of Judah ,
and they
cause
a
king to
reign
over
them,
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.
and
Joram
passeth
over to Zair ,
and
all the chariots
with
him, and he
himself
hath
risen
by night, and
smiteth
Edom
, that
is
coming
round
about
unto
him,
and
the
heads
of
the
chariots,
and
the
people
fleeth
to its
tents;
So
to
this
day
Edom has
been
in
rebellion
against
the hand of Judah .
Likewise,
Libnah rebelled
at the
same
time.
and
Edom revolteth
from
under
the hand of Judah till
this
day;
then
doth
Libnah revolt
at that
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 matters
of Joram
, and
all that
he
did
, are they not written on
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
lieth
with his fathers ,
and is
buried with his
fathers
in the city of David ,
and reign
doth
Ahaziah
his son 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 son of Ahab king
of
Israel reigned
hath
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah ;
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 .
a
son
of
twenty and
two years `is'
Ahaziah
in
his
reigning
, and one
year
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem, and
the name
of his
mother
`is'
Athaliah
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
walketh
in the way
of the house of Ahab ,
and doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
like the house of Ahab, for he `is'
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
goeth
with Joram son of Ahab to battle
with
Hazael king of Aram in
Ramoth-Gilead, and the Aramaeans
smite
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
Joram the
king
turneth
back
to be
healed
in
Jezreel of
the wounds with
which
the Arameans smite
him in
Ramah ,
in
his
fighting
with
Hazael king of Aram ,
and
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath
gone
down to see
Joram son of Ahab in
Jezreel
, for
he
is
sick
.
