So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the
brook Cherith,
that is before Jordan.
So
Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the
Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
And it came to pass after a while,
that the
brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
Some time later, however, the
brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said,
Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel,
that I may drink.
So
Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks.
Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so
that I may drink.”
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a
cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a
cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks,
that I may go in and dress it for me and my son,
that we may eat it, and die.
But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a
jar and a little oil in a
jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so
that we may eat it and die.”
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the
cruse of oil fail, until the day
that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The
jar of flour will not be exhausted and the
jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the
cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by
Elijah.
The
jar of flour was not exhausted and the
jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word
that the LORD had spoken through
Elijah.
And it came to pass after these things,
that the son of the woman, the
mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so
sore,
that there was no breath left in him.
Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
And the woman said to
Elijah, Now by this I know
that thou art a man of God, and
that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.
Then the woman said to
Elijah, “Now I know
that you are a man of God and
that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
And it came to pass after many days,
that the word of the LORD came to
Elijah in the third year, saying, Go,
shew thyself unto
Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
After a long time, in the third year of the
drought, the word of the LORD came to
Elijah: “Go and present
yourself to
Ahab, and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.”
For it was so, when
Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD,
that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and
hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
for when
Jezebel had slaughtered the prophets of the LORD,
Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty men per cave, providing them with food and water.)
And
Ahab said unto
Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all
brooks:
peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive,
that we lose not all the beasts.
Then
Ahab said to
Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to every spring and every valley. Perhaps we will find grass to keep the horses and mules alive so
that we will not have to destroy any
livestock.”
And as
Obadiah was in the way, behold,
Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou
that my lord
Elijah?
Now as
Obadiah went on his way,
Elijah suddenly met him. When
Obadiah recognized him, he fell facedown and said, “Is it you, my lord
Elijah?”
And he said, What have I
sinned,
that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of
Ahab, to
slay me?
But
Obadiah replied, “How have I
sinned,
that you are handing your servant over to
Ahab to put me to death?
As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom,
whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation,
that they found thee not.
As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent someone to search for you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made
that kingdom or nation
swear that they had not found you.
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold,
Elijah is here.
And now you say, ‘Go tell your master
that Elijah is here!’
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee,
that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee
whither I know not; and so when I come and tell
Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall
slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
I do not know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you off when I leave you. Then when I go and tell
Ahab and he does not find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold,
Elijah is here: and he shall
slay me.
And now you say, ‘Go tell your lord
that Elijah is here!’ He will kill me!”
And it came to pass, when
Ahab saw
Elijah,
that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he
that troubleth Israel?
When
Ahab saw
Elijah, he said to him, “Is
that you, O troubler of Israel?”
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in
that ye have
forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed
Baalim.
“I have not troubled Israel,”
Elijah replied, “but you and your father’s house have, for you have
forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the Baals.
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
Then you may call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The God who answers by fire, He is God.” And all the people answered, “What you say is good.”
And they took the
bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of
Baal from morning even until
noon, saying, O
Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any
that answered. And they
leaped upon the altar which was made.
And they took the bull
that was given them, prepared it, and called on the name of
Baal from morning until
noon,
shouting, “O
Baal, answer us!” But there was no sound, and no one answered as they
leaped around the altar they had made.
And it came to pass at
noon,
that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry
aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or
peradventure he sleepeth, and must be
awaked.
At
noon Elijah began to
taunt them, saying, “
Shout louder, for he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or occupied, or on a journey. Perhaps he is sleeping and must be
awakened!”
And it came to pass, when
midday was past, and they
prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any
that regarded.
Midday passed, and they kept on
raving until the time of the evening sacrifice. But there was no
response; no one answered, no one paid attention.
And
Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD
that was broken down.
Then
Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people approached him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD
that had been
torn down.
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day
that thou art God in Israel, and
that I am thy servant, and
that I have done all these things at thy word.
At the time of the evening sacrifice,
Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day
that You are God in Israel and
that I am Your servant and have done all these things at Your command.
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
Answer me, O LORD! Answer me, so that this people will know that You, the LORD, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back again.”
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water
that was in the
trench.
Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it
licked up the water in the
trench.
And it came to pass at the seventh time,
that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto
Ahab, Prepare thy
chariot, and get thee down,
that the rain stop thee not.
On the seventh time the servant reported, “There is a cloud as small as a man’s hand rising from the sea.” And
Elijah replied, “Go and tell
Ahab, ‘Prepare your
chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”
And it came to pass in the mean while,
that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And
Ahab rode, and went to
Jezreel.
Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and a heavy rain began to fall. So
Ahab rode away and went to
Jezreel.
Now
Ahab told
Jezebel everything
that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
And when he saw
that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-
sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
And
Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to
Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a
juniper tree: and he requested for himself
that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
while he himself traveled on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a
broom tree and prayed
that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of
that meat forty days and forty nights unto
Horeb the mount of God.
So he got up and
ate and
drank. And strengthened by
that food, he walked forty days and forty nights until he reached
Horeb, the mountain of God.
And it was so, when
Elijah heard it,
that he
wrapped his face in his
mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here,
Elijah?
When
Elijah heard it, he
wrapped his face in his
cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here,
Elijah?”
And it shall come to pass,
that him
that escapeth the sword of
Hazael shall
Jehu slay: and him
that escapeth from the sword of
Jehu shall
Elisha slay.
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to
morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be,
that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
But about this time
tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all
that is precious to you.’”
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is looking for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-
hadad, Tell my lord the king, All
that thou
didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
So
Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-
hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All
that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-
hadad.
And Ben-
hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people
that follow me.
Then Ben-
hadad sent another message to
Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him
that girdeth on his
harness boast himself as he
that putteth it off.
And the king of Israel replied, “Tell him: ‘The one putting on his
armor should not
boast like one taking it off.’”
And it came to pass, when Ben-
hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions,
that he said unto his servants, Set
yourselves in
array. And they set themselves in
array against the city.
Ben-
hadad received this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they stationed themselves against the city.
And, behold, there came a prophet unto
Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know
that I am the LORD.
Meanwhile a prophet approached
Ahab king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know
that I am the LORD.’”
And they went out at
noon. But Ben-
hadad was drinking himself
drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings
that helped him.
They marched out at
noon while Ben-
hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting
drunk.
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
Meanwhile, the servants of the king of
Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills.
That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.
And number thee an army, like the army
that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and
chariot for
chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he
hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and
chariot for
chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.
And it came to pass at the return of the year,
that Ben-
hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
In the spring, Ben-
hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was,
that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel
slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand
footmen in one day.
For seven days the armies camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle
ensued, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men
that were left. And Ben-
hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
The rest of them fled into the city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-
hadad also fled to the city and
hid in an inner room.
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard
that the kings of the house of Israel are
merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put
sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel:
peradventure he will save thy life.
Then the servants of Ben-
hadad said to him, “Look now, we have heard
that the kings of the house of Israel are
merciful. Let us go out to the king of Israel with
sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will
spare your life.”
Then he found another man, and said,
Smite me, I pray thee. And the man
smote him, so
that in
smiting he wounded him.
Then the prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please!” So the man struck him and wounded him,
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel
discerned him
that he was of the prophets.
Then the prophet quickly removed the
bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
And it came to pass after these things,
that Naboth the Jezreelite had a
vineyard, which was in
Jezreel, hard by the palace of
Ahab king of Samaria.
And
Ahab spake unto
Naboth, saying, Give me thy
vineyard,
that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better
vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
So
Ahab said to
Naboth, “Give me your
vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better
vineyard in its place—or if you
prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
And
Naboth said to
Ahab, The LORD
forbid it me,
that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
But
Naboth replied, “The LORD
forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
But
Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so
sad,
that thou eatest no bread?
Soon his wife
Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so
sullen that you refuse to eat?”
So she wrote letters in
Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles
that were in his city, dwelling with
Naboth.
Then
Jezebel wrote letters in
Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with
Naboth in his city.
And set two men, sons of
Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou
didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him,
that he may die.
But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them
testify, ‘You have
cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
And there came in two men, children of
Belial, and sat before him: and the men of
Belial witnessed against him, even against
Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying,
Naboth did
blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones,
that he died.
And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite
Naboth, and these men
testified against him before the people, saying, “
Naboth has
cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
And it came to pass, when
Jezebel heard
that Naboth was stoned, and was dead,
that Jezebel said to
Ahab, Arise, take possession of the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for
Naboth is not alive, but dead.
When
Jezebel heard
that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to
Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For
Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
And it came to pass, when
Ahab heard
that Naboth was dead,
that Ahab rose up to go down to the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
And when
Ahab heard
that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs
licked the blood of
Naboth shall dogs
lick thy blood, even thine.
Tell him
that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him
that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs
licked up the blood of
Naboth, there also the dogs will
lick up your blood—
yes, yours!’”
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy
posterity, and will cut off from
Ahab him
that pisseth against the wall, and him
that is shut up and left in Israel,
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring
calamity on you and
consume your descendants; I will cut off from
Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
I will make your house like
that of
Jeroboam son of Nebat and like
that of
Baasha son of
Ahijah, because you have
provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
Him
that dieth of
Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him
that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
Anyone belonging to
Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
And it came to pass, when
Ahab heard those words,
that he rent his clothes, and put
sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in
sackcloth, and went softly.
And it came to pass in the third year,
that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
However, in the third year,
Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye
that Ramoth in
Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
who said to his servants, “Do you not know
that Ramoth-
gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of
Aram?”
And
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides,
that we might
enquire of him?
But
Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
And the king of Israel said unto
Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may
enquire of the LORD: but I
hate him; for he
doth not
prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And
Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I
hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say
that!”
Jehoshaphat replied.
And the
messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak
that which is good.
Then the
messenger who had gone to call Micaiah
instructed him, “Behold now, with one
accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak
favorably.”
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I
adjure thee
that thou tell me nothing but
that which is true in the name of the LORD?
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you
swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep
that have not a
shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a
shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
And the king of Israel said unto
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee
that he would
prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
Then the king of Israel said to
Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you
that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
And the LORD said, Who shall
persuade Ahab,
that he may go up and fall at
Ramoth-
gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on
that manner.
And the LORD said, ‘Who will
entice Ahab to march up and fall at
Ramoth-
gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another
that.
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in
that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide
thyself.
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of
affliction and with water of
affliction, until I come in peace.
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains
that had rule over his
chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
Now the king of
Aram had ordered his thirty-two
chariot commanders, “Do not fight with
anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
And it came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots saw
Jehoshaphat,
that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and
Jehoshaphat cried out.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots perceived
that it was not the king of Israel,
that they turned back from pursuing him.
And when the
chariot commanders saw
that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
And the battle increased
that day: and the king was stayed up in his
chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the
chariot.
The battle
raged throughout
that day, and the king was
propped up in his
chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out
onto the floor of the
chariot, and
that evening he died.
And one washed the
chariot in the
pool of Samaria; and the dogs
licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
And the
chariot was washed at the
pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs
licked up
Ahab’s blood, according to the word
that the LORD had spoken.
Now the rest of the acts of
Ahab, and all
that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities
that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of
Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
And he walked in all the ways of
Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing
that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
And
Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father
Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Now the rest of the acts of
Jehoshaphat, and his might
that he shewed, and how he
warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of
Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he
waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
For he served
Baal, and worshipped him, and
provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all
that his father had done.
Ahaziah served and worshiped
Baal,
provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
And
Ahaziah fell down through a
lattice in his upper chamber
that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go,
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Now
Ahaziah had fallen through the
lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and
instructed them: “Go inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
But the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel,
that ye go to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron?
But the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel
that you are on your way to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron?’
Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And
Elijah departed.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So
Elijah departed.
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king
that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel,
that thou sendest to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him
that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel
that you are sending these men to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to
enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And
Elijah said to King
Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is
that why you have sent messengers to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
So he died according to the word of the LORD which
Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his
stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of
Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
So
Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD
that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of
Jehoshaphat over Judah.
And the sons of the prophets
that were at
Bethel came forth to
Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou
that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said,
Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
Then the sons of the prophets at
Bethel came out to
Elisha and said, “Do you know
that the LORD will take your master away from you
today?” “
Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
And the sons of the prophets
that were at
Jericho came to
Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou
that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered,
Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
Then the sons of the prophets at
Jericho came up to
Elisha and said, “Do you know
that the LORD will take your master away from you
today?” “
Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
And
Elijah took his
mantle, and
wrapped it together, and
smote the waters, and they were divided
hither and thither, so
that they two went over on dry ground.
And
Elijah took his
cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so
that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over,
that Elijah said unto
Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And
Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
After they had crossed over,
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me
inherit a double portion of your spirit,”
Elisha replied.
