his days did Hiel the Bethelite build

Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in
his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of
Nun.

Nun.
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 he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her
bosom, and carried him up into a
loft, where he abode, and laid him upon
his own bed.
But
Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on
his own bed.
And
Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto
his mother: and
Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
Then
Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to
his mother. “Look, your son is alive,”
Elijah declared.
And
Ahab called
Obadiah, which was the governor of
his house. (Now
Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
and
Ahab summoned
Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Now
Obadiah greatly feared the LORD,
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?”
So
Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And
Elijah went up to the top of
Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put
his face between
his knees,
So
Ahab went up to eat and drink. But
Elijah climbed to the summit of
Carmel, bent down on the ground, and put
his face between
his knees.
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 the hand of the LORD was on
Elijah; and he
girded up
his loins, and ran before
Ahab to the entrance of
Jezreel.
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,
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 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?”
So he departed thence, and found
Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was
plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the
twelfth: and
Elijah passed by him, and cast
his mantle upon him.
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and
slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after
Elijah, and ministered unto him.
So
Elisha turned back from him, took
his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen’s
equipment, he
cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they
ate. Then he set out to follow and serve
Elijah.
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 all the elders and all the people said unto him,
Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
And the elders and the people all said, “Do not
listen to him or consent to
his terms.”
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 they
slew every one
his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-
hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the
horsemen.
and each one struck down
his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-
hadad king of
Aram escaped on
horseback with the cavalry.
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
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.”
Now the men did
diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did
hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-
hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-
hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the
chariot.
Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly
grasped at this word and replied, “
Yes, your brother Ben-
hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the king. Then Ben-
hadad came out, and
Ahab had him come up into
his chariot.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto
his neighbour in the word of the LORD,
Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to
smite him.
Meanwhile, by the word of the LORD, one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me, please!” But the man refused to strike him.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and
disguised himself with ashes upon
his face.
and the prophet went and waited on the road for the king,
disguising himself with a
bandage over
his eyes.
And as the king passed by, he
cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for
his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
As the king passed by, he
cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a
captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for
his life, or you will
weigh out a talent of silver.’
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 he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
And the prophet said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
Sullen and
angry, the king of Israel went home to Samaria.
And
Ahab came into
his house heavy and displeased because of the word which
Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon
his bed, and turned away
his face, and would eat no bread.
So
Ahab went to
his palace,
sullen and
angry because
Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on
his bed, turned
his face away, and refused to eat.
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?”
And
Jezebel his wife said unto him,
Dost thou now
govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be
merry: I will give thee the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite.
But
his wife
Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be
cheerful, for I will get you the
vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite.”
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 the men of
his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in
his city, did as
Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
So the elders and nobles who lived in
Naboth’s city did as
Jezebel had
instructed in the letters she had written to them.
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!’”
But there was none like unto
Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom
Jezebel his wife
stirred up.
(Surely there was never one like
Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by
his wife
Jezebel.
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.
Seest thou how
Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in
his days: but in
his son’s days will I bring the evil upon
his house.
“Have you seen how
Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the
calamity during
his days, but I will bring it upon
his house in the days of
his son.”
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?”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said,
Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
And the king of Israel and
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on
his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets
prophesied before them.
Dressed in royal
attire, the king of Israel and
Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the
threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets
prophesying before them.
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 he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
And the LORD said unto him,
Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all
his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all
his prophets.’ ‘You will surely
entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
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 a certain man drew a bow at a
venture, and
smote the king of Israel between the joints of the
harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of
his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
However, a certain man drew
his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of
his armor. So the king said to
his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
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 there went a
proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to
his city, and every man to
his own country.
As the sun was setting, the cry
rang out in the army: “Every man to
his own city, and every man to
his own land!”
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
Ahab rested with
his fathers, and
his son
Ahaziah reigned in
his place.
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And
his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years.
His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
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?
And the
remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of
his father
Asa, he took out of the land.
He banished from the land the male
shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of
his father
Asa.
And
Jehoshaphat slept with
his fathers, and was buried with
his fathers in the city of David
his father: and Jehoram
his son reigned in
his stead.
And
Jehoshaphat rested with
his fathers and was buried with them in the city of
his father David. And
his son Jehoram reigned in
his place.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of
his father, and in the way of
his mother, and in the way of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of
his father and mother and of
Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
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.”
And they answered him, He was an
hairy man, and
girt with a
girdle of leather about
his loins. And he said, It is
Elijah the Tishbite.
“He was a
hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around
his waist.” “It was
Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
Then King
Ahaziah sent to
Elijah a captain with
his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to
Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”
And
Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and
consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and
his fifty.
Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and
his fifty men.
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!’”
And
Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and
consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and
his fifty.
Again
Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and
his fifty men.
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with
his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on
his knees before
Elijah, and
besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
So the king sent a third captain with
his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on
his knees before
Elijah, and
begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of
Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of
Ahaziah, along with
his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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
Elisha saw it, and he
cried, My father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of
his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like
his father, and like
his mother: for he put away the image of
Baal that
his father had made.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as
his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred
pillar of
Baal that
his father had made.
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man
his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof;
howbeit the slingers went about it, and
smote it.
They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with
slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
Then he took
his eldest son that should have reigned in
his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great
indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
So he took
his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great
fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
Now there
cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the
creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be
bondmen.
Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets
cried out to
Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now
his creditor is coming to take my two children as
his slaves!”
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
One day
Elisha came to visit and went to
his upper room to lie down.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,
And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
And he said unto
his father, My head, my head. And he said to a
lad, Carry him to
his mother.
“My head! My head!” he
complained to
his father. So
his father told a servant, “Carry him to
his mother.”
And when he had taken him, and brought him to
his mother, he sat on her knees till
noon, and then died.
After the servant had
picked him up and carried him to
his mother, the boy sat on her
lap until
noon, and then he died.
So she went and came unto the man of God to mount
Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her
afar off, that he said to Gehazi
his servant, Behold,
yonder is that Shunammite:
So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount
Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to
his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is
vexed within her: and the LORD hath
hid it from me, and hath not told me.
When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she
clung to
his feet. Gehazi came over to
push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
And when
Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon
his bed.
When
Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on
his bed.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
Then
Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.
Then he returned, and walked in the house to and
fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child
sneezed seven times, and the child opened
his eyes.
Elisha turned away and
paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy
sneezed seven times and opened
his eyes.
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
She came in, fell at
his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she
picked up her son and went out.
And
Elisha came again to
Gilgal: and there was a
dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto
his servant, Set on the great pot, and
seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
When
Elisha returned to
Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at
his feet, he said to
his attendant, “Put on the large pot and
boil some
stew for the sons of the prophets.”
And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds
his lap full, and came and
shred them into the pot of
pottage: for they knew them not.
One of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as
his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of
stew, though no one knew what they were.
And
his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
But
his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty
loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said
Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”
Now
Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with
his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given
deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a
leper.
Now
Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of
Aram, was a great man in
his master’s sight and highly regarded, for through him the LORD had given victory to
Aram. And he was a mighty man of
valor, but he was a
leper.
And she said unto her
mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of
his leprosy.
She said to her
mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of
his leprosy.”
And one went in, and told
his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the
maid that is of the land of Israel.
And
Naaman went and told
his master what the
girl from the land of Israel had said.
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have
therewith sent
Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of
his leprosy.
And the letter that he took to the king of Israel stated: “With this letter I am sending my servant
Naaman, so that you may cure him of
his leprosy.”
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent
his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man
doth send unto me to recover a man of
his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
When the king of Israel read the letter, he
tore his clothes and asked, “Am I God, killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a
leper? Surely you can see that he is seeking a quarrel with me!”
And it was so, when
Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent
his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
Now when
Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had
torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king: “Why have you
torn your clothes? Please let the man come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
So
Naaman came with
his horses and with
his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of
Elisha.
