But
Amasa took no
heed to the sword that was in
Joab’s hand: so he
smote him
therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his
bowels to the ground, and struck him not
again; and he died. So
Joab and
Abishai his brother pursued after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
And they came and besieged him in
Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank
against the city, and it stood in the
trench: and all the people that were with
Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim,
Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand
against the king, even
against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto
Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
That is not the case. But a man named

against the king,

sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou
quench not the light of Israel.
But

Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men
swore to him, “You must never
again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be
extinguished.”
And it came to pass after this, that there was
again a battle with the Philistines at
Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite
slew Saph, which was of the sons of the
giant.

Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
And there was
again a battle in

exalt me above my foes; You
rescue me from violent men.

spear against eight hundred, whom he
slew at one time.

wielded his
spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

Abishai, the brother of
Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his
spear against three hundred, and

spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and

spear.

smote the people, and said, Lo, I have
sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be
against me, and

shepherd, have
sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”

Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word
again, saying, Thus said
Joab, and thus he answered me.
And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to
Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But

Joab answered me.”

smitten down before the enemy, because they have
sinned against thee, and shall turn
again to thee, and
confess thy name, and pray, and make
supplication unto thee in this house:
When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have
sinned against You, and they return to You and
confess Your name, praying and
pleading with You in this temple,
Then hear thou in heaven, and
forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them
again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
then may You hear from heaven and

And
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand
against the king.
Now
Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah.
Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled
against the king,
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand
against the king: Solomon built
Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
and this is the account of his rebellion
against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the
gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then return to me.” So the people departed.
So
Jeroboam and all the people came to
Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me
again the third day.
After three days,
Jeroboam and all the people returned to
Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that
Jeroboam was come
again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
When all Israel heard that
Jeroboam had returned, they summoned him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
And when
Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and
fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight
against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom
again to
Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
And when
Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he
mobilized the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight
against the house of Israel and restore the kingdom to
Rehoboam son of Solomon.
Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight
against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They
hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight
against your brothers, the Israelites. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they
listened to the word of the LORD and turned back according to the word of the LORD.
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn
again unto their lord, even unto
Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go
again to
Rehoboam king of Judah.
If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, their hearts will return to their lord,
Rehoboam king of Judah; then they will kill me and return to
Rehoboam king of Judah.”
And he
cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David,
Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.
And he
cried out
against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named
Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
And it came to pass, when king
Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had
cried against the altar in
Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth
against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in
again to him.
Now when King
Jeroboam, who was at the altar in
Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had
cried out
against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him
withered, so that he could not pull it back.
And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me
again. And the man of God
besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him
again, and became as it was before.
Then the king
responded to the man of God, “
Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God
interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
For the saying which he
cried by the word of the LORD
against the altar in
Bethel, and
against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
for the message that he
cried out by the word of the LORD
against the altar in
Bethel and
against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
After this thing
Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made
again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places:
whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
Even after these events,
Jeroboam did not
repent of his evil ways, but
again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained
anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from
Jeroboam him that pisseth
against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the
remnant of the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
Because of all this, behold, I am bringing
disaster on the house of
Jeroboam: I will cut off from
Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of
Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!

anyone from leaving or entering the territory of
Asa king of Judah.
Then the word of the LORD came to
Jehu the son of Hanani
against Baasha, saying,
Then the word of the LORD came to
Jehu son of Hanani
against Baasha, saying:
And also by the hand of the prophet
Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD
against Baasha, and
against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in
provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of
Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet
Jehu son of Hanani
against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD,
provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of
Jeroboam, and also because
Baasha had struck down the house of
Jeroboam.
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his
chariots,
conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself
drunk in the house of Arza
steward of his house in Tirzah.
However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting
drunk in the house of Arza the
steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his
chariots,
conspired against him.
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he
slew all the house of
Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth
against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of
Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a
kinsman or friend.
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of
Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake
against Baasha by
Jehu the prophet,
So Zimri destroyed the entire household of
Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken
against Baasha through
Jehu the prophet.
In the twenty and seventh year of
Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were
encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
In the twenty-seventh year of
Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now the troops were
encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines,

And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and
cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him
again.
Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and
cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
And the LORD heard the voice of
Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him
again, and he revived.
And the LORD
listened to the voice of
Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
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.”
And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
“Go and look toward the sea,” he said to his servant. So the servant went and looked, and he said, “There is nothing there.” Seven times
Elijah said, “Go back.”
And he looked, and, behold, there was a
cake baken on the coals, and a
cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down
again.
And he looked around, and there by his head was a
cake of bread
baked over hot coals, and a
jar of water. So he
ate and
drank and lay down
again.
And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
And he left the oxen, and ran after
Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee,
kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back
again: for what have I done to thee?
So
Elisha left the oxen, ran after
Elijah, and said, “Please let me
kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,”
Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”
And Ben-
hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and
chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and
warred against it.
Now Ben-
hadad king of
Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and
chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and
waged war
against it.
And the messengers came
again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-
hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-
hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
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 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 the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go,
strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up
against thee.
Afterward, the prophet approached the king of Israel and said, “Go and
strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of
Aram will come up
against you.”
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 the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
The Israelites also
mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the
countryside.
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.
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.
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.
And he said unto
Jehoshaphat,
Wilt thou go with me to battle to
Ramoth-
gilead? And
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
So he asked
Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight
against Ramoth-
gilead?”
Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go
against Ramoth-
gilead to battle, or shall I
forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war
against Ramoth-
gilead, or should I
refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go
against Ramoth-
gilead to battle, or shall we
forbear? And he answered him, Go, and
prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war
against Ramoth-
gilead, or should we
refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced
disaster against you.”
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 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.
Then Moab rebelled
against Israel after the death of
Ahab.
After the death of
Ahab, Moab rebelled
against Israel.
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.’”
Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
So the king sent to
Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to
Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”
