And when the servant of the man of God
was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and
chariots. And his servant said unto him,
Alas, my master! how shall we do?
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and
chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked
Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
And
Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain
was full of horses and
chariots of fire round about
Elisha.
Then
Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and
chariots of fire all around
Elisha.
And there
was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an
ass’s head
was sold for
fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a
cab of
dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
So there
was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a
donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter
cab of

And as the king of Israel
was passing by upon the wall, there
cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
As the king of Israel
was passing by on the wall, a woman
cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
But
Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but
ere the
messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the
messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
Now
Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a
messenger ahead, but before he arrived,
Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the
messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the
messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
While
Elisha was still speaking with them, the
messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This
calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
And they rose up in the
twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the
uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there
was no man there.
So they arose at
twilight and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they came to the outskirts of the camp, there
was not a man to be found.
Wherefore they arose and fled in the
twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their
asses, even the camp as it
was, and fled for their life.
So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there
was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses
tied, and
asses tied, and the tents as they were.
So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the
Aramean camp and no one
was there—not a trace—only
tethered horses and
donkeys, and the tents were
intact.”
And he called the
porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.
The gatekeepers
shouted the news, and it
was reported to the king’s household.
And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way
was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their
haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
And they
tracked them as far as the Jordan, and indeed, the whole way
was littered with the clothing and
equipment the Arameans had thrown off in
haste. So the scouts returned and told the king.
And the people went out, and
spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour
was sold for a
shekel, and two measures of barley for a
shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
Then the people went out and
plundered the camp of the Arameans. It
was then that a
seah of fine flour sold for a
shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a
shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
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.
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 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.
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
Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-
hadad the king of Syria
was sick; and it
was told him, saying, The man of God is come
hither.
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 fixed his
gaze steadily on him until
Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to
weep.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
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.
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.
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.
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
Joram slept with his fathers, and
was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and
Ahaziah his son reigned in his
stead.
And Jehoram rested with his fathers and
was buried with them in the City of David. And his son
Ahaziah reigned in his place.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
But king
Joram was returned to be
healed in
Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with
Hazael king of Syria.) And
Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in
Jezreel.
but King
Joram had returned to
Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against
Hazael their king.) So
Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let
anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in
Jezreel.”
And
Joram said, Make ready. And his
chariot was made ready. And
Joram king of Israel and
Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his
chariot, and they went out against
Jehu, and met him in the portion of
Naboth the Jezreelite.
And when
Jehu was come to
Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and
tired her head, and looked out at a window.
Now when
Jehu arrived in
Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window.
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood
was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he
trode her under foot.
“Throw her down!”
yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they
trampled her underfoot.
And when he
was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this
cursed woman, and
bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
Then
Jehu went in and
ate and
drank. “Take care of this
cursed woman,” he said, “and
bury her, for she
was the daughter of a king.”
And he that
was over the house, and he that
was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to
Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt
bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
So the palace
administrator, the
overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to
Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make
anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”
And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I
conspired against my master, and
slew him: but who
slew all these?
The next morning,
Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It
was I who
conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
And when he
was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he
saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the
chariot.
When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who
was coming to meet him.
Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said
Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and
Jehu helped him into his
chariot,
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to
Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But
Jehu did it in
subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of
Baal.
Now, therefore,
summon to me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for
Baal.
Whoever is missing will not live.” But
Jehu was acting
deceptively in order to destroy the servants of
Baal.
And
Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of
Baal came, so that there
was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of
Baal; and the house of
Baal was full from one end to another.
Then
Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of
Baal came; there
was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of
Baal, and it
was filled from end to end.
And
Jehu said to the keeper of the
wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of
Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.
And the LORD said unto
Jehu, Because thou hast done well in
executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of
Ahab according to all that
was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
Nevertheless, the LORD said to
Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of
Ahab all that
was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
But
Jehu took no
heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
Yet
Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that
Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
And
Jehu rested with his fathers and
was buried in Samaria, and his son
Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
And the time that
Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria
was twenty and eight years.
So the duration of
Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria
was twenty-eight years.
And when
Athaliah the mother of
Ahaziah saw that her son
was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
But Jehosheba daughter of King
Joram, the sister of
Ahaziah, took
Joash son of
Ahaziah and
stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his
nurse in a
bedroom to hide him from
Athaliah, and he
was not killed.
And he
was with her
hid in the house of the LORD six years. And
Athaliah did reign over the land.
And
Joash remained hidden with his
nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while
Athaliah ruled the land.
And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a
pillar, as the manner
was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land
rejoiced, and
blew with
trumpets: and
Athaliah rent her clothes, and
cried, Treason, Treason.
And she looked out and saw the king standing by the
pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were
rejoicing and blowing
trumpets. Then
Athaliah tore her clothes and
screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.
So they seized
Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she
was put to death.
And all the people of the land
rejoiced, and the city
was in quiet: and they
slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
and all the people of the land
rejoiced. And the city
was quiet, because
Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
Joash was seven years old when he became king.
In the seventh year of
Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was Zibiah of Beer-
sheba.
In the seventh year of
Jehu,
Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name
was Zibiah; she
was from
Beersheba.
And Jehoash did that which
was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest
instructed him.
And
Joash did what
was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he
was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
But it
was so, that in the three and
twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
By the twenty-third year of the reign of
Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the
lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that
was brought into the house of the LORD.
Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its
lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. There the priests who guarded the
threshold put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
And it
was so, when they saw that there
was much money in the chest, that the king’s
scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that
was found in the house of the LORD.
Whenever they saw that there
was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal
scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and
tie it up in bags.
And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to
buy timber and
hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that
was laid out for the house to repair it.
masons, and stonecutters. They also purchased timber and dressed stone to repair the damage to the house of the LORD, and they paid the other expenses of the temple repairs.
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD
bowls of silver,
snuffers, basons,
trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that
was brought into the house of the LORD:
However, the money brought into the house of the LORD
was not used for making silver basins,
wick trimmers,
sprinkling bowls,
trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired
therewith the house of the LORD.
Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
No accounting
was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with
integrity.
The
trespass money and sin money
was not brought into the house of the LORD: it
was the priests’.
The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the
hallowed things that
Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own
hallowed things, and all the gold that
was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to
Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
So King
Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—
Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the
treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to
Hazael king of
Aram. So
Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not
therefrom.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that
Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
And the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of
Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-
hadad the son of
Hazael, all their days.
So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of
Hazael king of
Aram and his son Ben-
hadad.
And
Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and
was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.
And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that
Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.
And
Joash slept with his fathers; and
Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and
Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and
Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash
was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Now
Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness
whereof he died. And
Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and
wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof.
When
Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and
wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the
chariots and
horsemen of Israel!”
And the man of God
was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have
smitten five or six times; then hadst thou
smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt
smite Syria but
thrice.
But the man of God
was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down
Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down
Aram only three times.”
And
Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
And
Elisha died and
was buried. Now the
Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.
And it came to pass, as they were
burying a man, that, behold, they
spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the
sepulchre of
Elisha: and when the man
was let down, and touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
Once, as the Israelites were
burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into
Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of
Elisha, the man
was revived and stood up on his feet.
And the LORD
was gracious unto them, and had
compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
But the LORD
was gracious to Israel and had
compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.

And he did that which
was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as
Joash his father did.
And he did what
was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father
Joash had done.
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
was confirmed in his hand, that he
slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
As soon as the kingdom
was firmly in his
grasp,
Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to
Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The
thistle that
was in
Lebanon sent to the
cedar that
was in
Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that
was in
Lebanon, and
trode down the
thistle.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
And Jehoash
slept with his fathers, and
was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and
Jeroboam his son reigned in his
stead.
And Jehoash rested with his fathers and
was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son
Jeroboam reigned in his place.
And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
And all the people of Judah took
Azariah, which
was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father
Amaziah.
Then all the people of Judah took
Azariah, who
was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father
Amaziah.
He built
Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king
slept with his fathers.
Azariah was the one who rebuilt
Elath and restored it to Judah after King
Amaziah rested with his fathers.
And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that
Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of
Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant
Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which
was of
Gath-hepher.
This
Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-
hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant
Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from
Gath-hepher.
For the LORD saw the
affliction of Israel, that it
was very bitter: for there
was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
For the LORD saw that the
affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free,
was very bitter. There
was no one to help Israel,

And he did that which
was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father
Amaziah had done;
And he did what
was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father
Amaziah had done.
And the LORD
smote the king, so that he
was a
leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son
was over the house, judging the people of the land.
And the LORD
afflicted the king with
leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
So
Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his
stead.
And
Azariah rested with his fathers and
was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that
Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
This
was the word of the LORD which he spake unto
Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
So the word of the LORD spoken to
Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was Jerusha, the daughter of
Zadok.
He
was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name
was Jerusha daughter of
Zadok.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.
And Jotham
slept with his fathers, and
was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and
Ahaz his son reigned in his
stead.
