WEB·2 Kings 8

¹Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”

KJVThen spake^H1696^(H8765) Elisha^H477 unto the woman^H802, whose son^H1121 he had restored to life^H2421^(H8689), saying^H559^(H8800), Arise^H6965^(H8798), and go^H3212^(H8798) thou and thine household^H1004, and sojourn^H1481^(H8798) wheresoever^H834 thou canst sojourn^H1481^(H8799): for the LORD^H3068 hath called^H7121^(H8804) for a famine^H7458; and it shall also come^H935^(H8804) upon the land^H776 seven^H7651 years^H8141.

² The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

KJVAnd the woman^H802 arose^H6965^(H8799), and did^H6213^(H8799) after the saying^H1697 of the man^H376 of God^H430: and she went^H3212^(H8799) with her household^H1004, and sojourned^H1481^(H8799) in the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430 seven^H7651 years^H8141.

³ At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.

KJVAnd it came to pass at the seven^H7651 years^H8141' end^H7097, that the woman^H802 returned^H7725^(H8799) out of the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430: and she went forth^H3318^(H8799) to cry^H6817^(H8800) unto the king^H4428 for her house^H1004 and for her land^H7704.

⁴ 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.”

KJVAnd the king^H4428 talked^H1696^(H8764) with Gehazi^H1522 the servant^H5288 of the man^H376 of God^H430, saying^H559^(H8800), Tell^H5608^(H8761) me, I pray thee, all the great things^H1419 that Elisha^H477 hath done^H6213^(H8804).

⁵ As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged 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.”

KJVAnd it came to pass, as he was telling^H5608^(H8764) the king^H4428 how he had restored^H2421 a dead body^H4191^(H8801) to life^H2421^(H8689), that, behold, the woman^H802, whose son^H1121 he had restored to life^H2421^(H8689), cried^H6817^(H8802) to the king^H4428 for her house^H1004 and for her land^H7704. And Gehazi^H1522 said^H559^(H8799), My lord^H113, O king^H4428, this is the woman^H802, and this is her son^H1121, whom Elisha^H477 restored to life^H2421^(H8689).

⁶ 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.”

KJVAnd when the king^H4428 asked^H7592^(H8799) the woman^H802, she told^H5608^(H8762) him. So the king^H4428 appointed^H5414^(H8799) unto her a certain^H259 officer^H5631, saying^H559^(H8800), Restore^H7725^(H8685) all that was hers, and all the fruits^H8393 of the field^H7704 since the day^H3117 that she left^H5800^(H8800) the land^H776, even until now.

⁷ Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”

KJVAnd Elisha^H477 came^H935^(H8799) to Damascus^H1834; and Benhadad^H1130 the king^H4428 of Syria^H758 was sick^H2470^(H8802); and it was told^H5046^(H8714) him, saying^H559^(H8800), The man^H376 of God^H430 is come^H935^(H8804) hither^H2008.

⁸ 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, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

KJVAnd the king^H4428 said^H559^(H8799) unto Hazael^H2371, Take^H3947^(H8798) a present^H4503 in thine hand^H3027, and go^H3212^(H8798), meet^H7125^(H8800) the man^H376 of God^H430, and enquire^H1875^(H8804) of the LORD^H3068 by him, saying^H559^(H8800), Shall I recover^H2421^(H8799) of this disease^H2483?

⁹ 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, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

KJVSo Hazael^H2371 went^H3212^(H8799) to meet^H7125^(H8800) him, and took^H3947^(H8799) a present^H4503 with him^H3027, even of every good thing^H2898 of Damascus^H1834, forty^H705 camels^H1581' burden^H4853, and came^H935^(H8799) and stood^H5975^(H8799) before^H6440 him, and said^H559^(H8799), Thy son^H1121 Benhadad^H1130 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 hath sent^H7971^(H8804) me to thee, saying^H559^(H8800), Shall I recover^H2421^(H8799) of this disease^H2483?

¹⁰ Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”

KJVAnd Elisha^H477 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Go^H3212^(H8798), say^H559^(H8798) unto him, Thou mayest certainly^H2421^(H8800) recover^H2421^(H8799): howbeit the LORD^H3068 hath shewed^H7200^(H8689) me that he shall surely^H4191^(H8800) die^H4191^(H8799).

¹¹ He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.

KJVAnd he settled^H5975^(H8686) his countenance^H6440 stedfastly^H7760^(H8799), until he was ashamed^H954^(H8800): and the man^H376 of God^H430 wept^H1058^(H8799).

¹² Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

KJVAnd Hazael^H2371 said^H559^(H8799), Why weepeth^H1058^(H8802) my lord^H113? And he answered^H559^(H8799), Because I know^H3045^(H8804) the evil^H7451 that thou wilt do^H6213^(H8799) unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: their strong holds^H4013 wilt thou set^H7971^(H8762) on fire^H784, and their young men^H970 wilt thou slay^H2026^(H8799) with the sword^H2719, and wilt dash^H7376^(H8762) their children^H5768, and rip up^H1234^(H8762) their women with child^H2030.

¹³ Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”

KJVAnd Hazael^H2371 said^H559^(H8799), But what, is thy servant^H5650 a dog^H3611, that he should do^H6213^(H8799) this great^H1419 thing^H1697? And Elisha^H477 answered^H559^(H8799), The LORD^H3068 hath shewed^H7200^(H8689) me that thou shalt be king^H4428 over Syria^H758.

¹⁴ Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”

KJVSo he departed^H3212^(H8799) from Elisha^H477, and came^H935^(H8799) to his master^H113; who said^H559^(H8799) to him, What said^H559^(H8804) Elisha^H477 to thee? And he answered^H559^(H8799), He told^H559^(H8804) me that thou shouldest surely^H2421^(H8800) recover^H2421^(H8799).

¹⁵ On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.

KJVAnd it came to pass on the morrow^H4283, that he took^H3947^(H8799) a thick cloth^H4346, and dipped^H2881^(H8799) it in water^H4325, and spread^H6566^(H8799) it on his face^H6440, so that he died^H4191^(H8799): and Hazael^H2371 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

¹⁶ In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

KJVAnd in the fifth^H2568 year^H8141 of Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, Jehoshaphat^H3092 being then king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, Jehoram^H3088 the son^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began to reign^H4427^(H8804).

¹⁷ He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

KJVThirty^H7970 and two^H8147 years^H8141 old^H1121 was he when he began to reign^H4427^(H8800); and he reigned^H4427^(H8804) eight^H8083 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389.

¹⁸ He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.

KJVAnd he walked^H3212^(H8799) in the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478, as did^H6213^(H8804) the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256: for the daughter^H1323 of Ahab^H256 was his wife^H802: and he did^H6213^(H8799) evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁹ 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.

KJVYet the LORD^H3068 would^H14^(H8804) not destroy^H7843^(H8687) Judah^H3063 for David^H1732 his servant's^H5650 sake, as he promised^H559^(H8804) him to give^H5414^(H8800) him alway^H3117 a light^H5216, and to his children^H1121.

²⁰ In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

KJVIn his days^H3117 Edom^H123 revolted^H6586^(H8804) from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063, and made^H4427^(H8686) a king^H4428 over themselves.

²¹ Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

KJVSo Joram^H3141 went over^H5674^(H8799) to Zair^H6811, and all the chariots^H7393 with him: and he rose^H6965^(H8804) by night^H3915, and smote^H5221^(H8686) the Edomites^H123 which compassed him about^H5437^(H8802), and the captains^H8269 of the chariots^H7393: and the people^H5971 fled^H5127^(H8799) into their tents^H168.

²² So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

KJVYet Edom^H123 revolted^H6586^(H8799) from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063 unto this day^H3117. Then Libnah^H3841 revolted^H6586^(H8799) at the same^H1931 time^H6256.

²³ 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?

KJVAnd the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Joram^H3141, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063?

KJVAnd Joram^H3141 slept^H7901^(H8799) with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912^(H8735) with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Ahaziah^H274 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

²⁵ In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

KJVIn the twelfth^H8147^H6240^H8141 year^H8141 of Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 did Ahaziah^H274 the son^H1121 of Jehoram^H3088 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 begin to reign^H4427^(H8804).

²⁷ He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.

KJVAnd he walked^H3212^(H8799) in the way^H1870 of the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256, and did^H6213^(H8799) evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, as did the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256: for he was the son in law^H2860 of the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256.

²⁸ He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.

WEB·2 Kings 7

¹Elisha said, “Hear Yahweh’s word. Yahweh says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”

KJVThen Elisha^H477 said^H559^(H8799), Hear^H8085^(H8798) ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068; Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068, To morrow^H4279 about this time^H6256 shall a measure^H5429 of fine flour^H5560 be sold for a shekel^H8255, and two measures^H5429 of barley^H8184 for a shekel^H8255, in the gate^H8179 of Samaria^H8111.

² Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

KJVThen a lord^H7991 on whose hand^H3027 the king^H4428 leaned^H8172^(H8737) answered^H6030^(H8799) the man^H376 of God^H430, and said^H559^(H8799), Behold, if the LORD^H3068 would make^H6213^(H8802) windows^H699 in heaven^H8064, might this thing^H1697 be? And he said^H559^(H8799), Behold, thou shalt see^H7200^(H8802) it with thine eyes^H5869, but shalt not eat^H398^(H8799) thereof.

³ Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?

KJVAnd there were four^H702 leprous^H6879^(H8794) men^H582 at the entering in^H6607 of the gate^H8179: and they said^H559^(H8799) one^H376 to another^H7453, Why sit^H3427^(H8802) we here until we die^H4191^(H8804)?

⁴ If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”

KJVIf we say^H559^(H8804), We will enter^H935^(H8799) into the city^H5892, then the famine^H7458 is in the city^H5892, and we shall die^H4191^(H8804) there: and if we sit still^H3427^(H8804) here, we die^H4191^(H8804) also. Now therefore come^H3212^(H8798), and let us fall^H5307^(H8799) unto the host^H4264 of the Syrians^H758: if they save us alive^H2421^(H8762), we shall live^H2421^(H8799); and if they kill^H4191^(H8686) us, we shall but die^H4191^(H8804).

⁵ They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.

KJVAnd they rose up^H6965^(H8799) in the twilight^H5399, to go^H935^(H8800) unto the camp^H4264 of the Syrians^H758: and when they were come^H935^(H8799) to the uttermost part^H7097 of the camp^H4264 of Syria^H758, behold, there was no man^H376 there.

⁶ For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”

KJVFor the Lord^H136 had made the host^H4264 of the Syrians^H758 to hear^H8085^(H8689) a noise^H6963 of chariots^H7393, and a noise^H6963 of horses^H5483, even the noise^H6963 of a great^H1419 host^H2428: and they said^H559^(H8799) one^H376 to another^H251, Lo, the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 hath hired^H7936^(H8804) against us the kings^H4428 of the Hittites^H2850, and the kings^H4428 of the Egyptians^H4714, to come^H935^(H8800) upon us.

⁷ Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

KJVWherefore they arose^H6965^(H8799) and fled^H5127^(H8799) in the twilight^H5399, and left^H5800^(H8799) their tents^H168, and their horses^H5483, and their asses^H2543, even the camp^H4264 as it was, and fled^H5127^(H8799) for their life^H5315.

⁸ When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.

KJVAnd when these lepers^H6879^(H8794) came^H935^(H8799) to the uttermost part^H7097 of the camp^H4264, they went^H935^(H8799) into one^H259 tent^H168, and did eat^H398^(H8799) and drink^H8354^(H8799), and carried^H5375^(H8799) thence silver^H3701, and gold^H2091, and raiment^H899, and went^H3212^(H8799) and hid^H2934^(H8686) it; and came again^H7725^(H8799), and entered^H935^(H8799) into another^H312 tent^H168, and carried^H5375^(H8799) thence also, and went^H3212^(H8799) and hid^H2934^(H8686) it.

⁹ Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”

KJVThen they said^H559^(H8799) one^H376 to another^H7453, We do^H6213^(H8802) not well: this day^H3117 is a day^H3117 of good tidings^H1309, and we hold our peace^H2814^(H8688): if we tarry^H2442^(H8765) till the morning^H1242 light^H216, some mischief^H5771 will come^H4672^(H8804) upon us: now therefore come^H3212^(H8798), that we may go^H935^(H8799) and tell^H5046^(H8686) the king's^H4428 household^H1004.

¹⁰ So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”

KJVSo they came^H935^(H8799) and called^H7121^(H8799) unto the porter^H7778 of the city^H5892: and they told^H5046^(H8686) them, saying^H559^(H8800), We came^H935^(H8804) to the camp^H4264 of the Syrians^H758, and, behold, there was no man^H376 there, neither voice^H6963 of man^H120, but horses^H5483 tied^H631^(H8803), and asses^H2543 tied^H631^(H8803), and the tents^H168 as they were.

¹¹ Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.

KJVAnd he called^H7121^(H8799) the porters^H7778; and they told^H5046^(H8686) it to the king's^H4428 house^H1004 within^H6441.

¹² The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”

KJVAnd the king^H4428 arose^H6965^(H8799) in the night^H3915, and said^H559^(H8799) unto his servants^H5650, I will now shew^H5046^(H8686) you what the Syrians^H758 have done^H6213^(H8804) to us. They know^H3045^(H8804) that we be hungry^H7457; therefore are they gone out^H3318^(H8799) of the camp^H4264 to hide^H2247^(H8736) themselves in the field^H7704, saying^H559^(H8800), When they come out^H3318^(H8799) of the city^H5892, we shall catch^H8610^(H8799) them alive^H2416, and get^H935^(H8799) into the city^H5892.

¹³ One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”

KJVAnd one^H259 of his servants^H5650 answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799), Let some take^H3947^(H8799), I pray thee, five^H2568 of the horses^H5483 that remain^H7604^(H8737), which are left^H7604^(H8738) in the city,(behold, they are as all the multitude^H1995 of Israel^H3478 that are left^H7604^(H8738) in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude^H1995 of the Israelites^H3478 that are consumed^H8552^(H8804):) and let us send^H7971^(H8799) and see^H7200^(H8799).

¹⁴ Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”

KJVThey took^H3947^(H8799) therefore two^H8147 chariot^H7393 horses^H5483; and the king^H4428 sent^H7971^(H8799) after^H310 the host^H4264 of the Syrians^H758, saying^H559^(H8800), Go^H3212^(H8798) and see^H7200^(H8798).

¹⁵ They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.

KJVAnd they went^H3212^(H8799) after^H310 them unto Jordan^H3383: and, lo, all the way^H1870 was full^H4392 of garments^H899 and vessels^H3627, which the Syrians^H758 had cast away^H7993^(H8689) in their haste^H2648^(H8800). And the messengers^H4397 returned^H7725^(H8799), and told^H5046^(H8686) the king^H4428.

¹⁶ The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to Yahweh’s word.

KJVAnd the people^H5971 went out^H3318^(H8799), and spoiled^H962^(H8799) the tents^H4264 of the Syrians^H758. So a measure^H5429 of fine flour^H5560 was sold for a shekel^H8255, and two measures^H5429 of barley^H8184 for a shekel^H8255, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁷ The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

KJVAnd the king^H4428 appointed^H6485^(H8689) the lord^H7991 on whose hand^H3027 he leaned^H8172^(H8737) to have the charge of the gate^H8179: and the people^H5971 trode^H7429^(H8799) upon him in the gate^H8179, and he died^H4191^(H8799), as the man^H376 of God^H430 had said^H1696^(H8765), who spake^H1696^(H8765) when the king^H4428 came down^H3381^(H8800) to him.

¹⁸ It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”

KJVAnd it came to pass as the man^H376 of God^H430 had spoken^H1696^(H8763) to the king^H4428, saying^H559^(H8800), Two measures^H5429 of barley^H8184 for a shekel^H8255, and a measure^H5429 of fine flour^H5560 for a shekel^H8255, shall be to morrow^H4279 about this time^H6256 in the gate^H8179 of Samaria^H8111:

¹⁹ and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

KJVAnd that lord^H7991 answered^H6030^(H8799) the man^H376 of God^H430, and said^H559^(H8799), Now, behold, if the LORD^H3068 should make^H6213^(H8802) windows^H699 in heaven^H8064, might such a thing^H1697 be? And he said^H559^(H8799), Behold, thou shalt see^H7200^(H8802) it with thine eyes^H5869, but shalt not eat^H398^(H8799) thereof.

²⁰ It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.

KJVAnd so it fell out unto him: for the people^H5971 trode^H7429^(H8799) upon him in the gate^H8179, and he died^H4191^(H8799).
