sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to
swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

against his
neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,

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,

sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and
confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have
sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and
confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have
afflicted them,

against their enemy,
whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

If they sin
against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be
angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away
captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become
angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as

forgive Your people who have
sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed
against You, and may You grant them
compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.

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

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.

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.

cried out by the word of the LORD
against the altar in

against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”

Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

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!

strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of
Aram will come up
against you.”

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.

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.

countryside.

testify, ‘You have
cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”

Belial, and sat before him: and the men of

And he said unto
Jehoshaphat,
Wilt thou go with me to battle to
Ramoth-
gilead? And

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

against me:

against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
And he sent a message to
Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled

against me.

healed in

Jezreel.

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

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.
Then said
Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of
Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou
rode together after
Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
And
Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “
Pick him up and throw him into the field of
Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his father
Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden
against him:
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
But they were
terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand
against him, how can we?”
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?
Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of
Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant
Elijah.
Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken
against the house of
Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant
Elijah.”

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.
