II Kings 6 (kjv)

And the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 said^H559 unto^H6440 Elisha^H477, Behold now, the place^H4725 where we dwell^H3427 with thee is too strait^H6862 for us.²Let us go^H3212, we pray thee, unto Jordan^H3383, and take^H3947 thence every man^H376 a^H259 beam^H6982, and let us make^H6213 us a place^H4725 there, where we may dwell^H3427. And he answered^H559, Go^H3212 ye.³And one^H259 said^H559, Be content^H2974, I pray thee, and go^H3212 with thy servants^H5650. And he answered^H559, I will go^H3212.⁴So he went^H3212 with them. And when they came^H935 to Jordan^H3383, they cut down^H1504 wood^H6086.⁵But as one^H259 was felling^H5307 a beam^H6982, the axe head^H1270 fell^H5307 into the water^H4325: and he cried^H6817, and said^H559, Alas^H162, master^H113! for it was borrowed^H7592.⁶And the man^H376 of God^H430 said^H559, Where^H575 fell^H5307 it? And he shewed^H7200 him the place^H4725. And he cut down^H7094 a stick^H6086, and cast^H7993 it in thither; and the iron^H1270 did swim^H6687.⁷Therefore said^H559 he, Take it up^H7311 to thee. And he put out^H7971 his hand^H3027, and took^H3947 it.

⁸Then the king^H4428 of Syria^H758 warred^H3898 against Israel^H3478, and took counsel^H3289 with his servants^H5650, saying^H559, In such^H6423 and such^H492 a place^H4725 shall be my camp^H8466.⁹And the man^H376 of God^H430 sent^H7971 unto the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559, Beware^H8104 that thou pass^H5674 not such^H2088 a place^H4725; for thither the Syrians^H758 are come down^H5185.¹⁰And the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 sent^H7971 to the place^H4725 which the man^H376 of God^H430 told^H559 him and warned^H2094 him of, and saved^H8104 himself there, not once^H259 nor twice^H8147.¹¹Therefore the heart^H3820 of the king^H4428 of Syria^H758 was sore troubled^H5590 for this thing^H1697; and he called^H7121 his servants^H5650, and said^H559 unto them, Will ye not shew^H5046 me which of us is for the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478?¹²And one^H259 of his servants^H5650 said^H559, None, my lord^H113, O king^H4428: but Elisha^H477, the prophet^H5030 that is in Israel^H3478, telleth^H5046 the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 the words^H1697 that thou speakest^H1696 in thy bedchamber^{H2315 H4904}.

¹³And he said^H559, Go^H3212 and spy^H7200 where^H351 he is, that I may send^H7971 and fetch^H3947 him. And it was told^H5046 him, saying^H559, Behold, he is in Dothan^H1886.¹⁴Therefore sent^H7971 he thither horses^H5483, and chariots^H7393, and a great^H3515 host^H2428: and they came^H935 by night^H3915, and compassed^H5362 the city^H5892 about^H5362.¹⁵And when the servant^H8334 of the man^H376 of God^H430 was risen^H6965 early^H7925, and gone forth^H3318, behold, an host^H2428 compassed^H5437 the city^H5892 both with horses^H5483 and chariots^H7393. And his servant^H5288 said^H559 unto him, Alas^H162, my master^H113! how shall we do^H6213?¹⁶And he answered^H559, Fear^H3372 not: for they that be with us are more^H7227 than they that be with them.¹⁷And Elisha^H477 prayed^H6419, and said^H559, LORD^H3068, I pray thee, open^H6491 his eyes^H5869, that he may see^H7200. And the LORD^H3068 opened^H6491 the eyes^H5869 of the young man^H5288; and he saw^H7200: and, behold, the mountain^H2022 was full^H4390 of horses^H5483 and chariots^H7393 of fire^H784 round about^H5439 Elisha^H477.¹⁸And when they came down^H3381 to him, Elisha^H477 prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068, and said^H559, Smite^H5221 this people^H1471, I pray thee, with blindness^H5575. And he smote^H5221 them with blindness^H5575 according to the word^H1697 of Elisha^H477.

¹⁹And Elisha^H477 said^H559 unto them, This is not the way^H1870, neither is this^H2090 the city^H5892: follow^{H3212 H310} me, and I will bring^H3212 you to the man^H376 whom ye seek^H1245. But he led^H3212 them to Samaria^H8111.²⁰And it came to pass, when they were come^H935 into Samaria^H8111, that Elisha^H477 said^H559, LORD^H3068, open^H6491 the eyes^H5869 of these men, that they may see^H7200. And the LORD^H3068 opened^H6491 their eyes^H5869, and they saw^H7200; and, behold, they were in the midst^H8432 of Samaria^H8111.²¹And the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 said^H559 unto Elisha^H477, when he saw^H7200 them, My father^H1, shall I smite^H5221 them? shall I smite^H5221 them?²²And he answered^H559, Thou shalt not smite^H5221 them: wouldest thou smite^H5221 those whom thou hast taken captive^H7617 with thy sword^H2719 and with thy bow^H7198? set^H7760 bread^H3899 and water^H4325 before^H6440 them, that they may eat^H398 and drink^H8354, and go^H3212 to their master^H113.²³And he prepared^H3739 great^H1419 provision^H3740 for them: and when they had eaten^H398 and drunk^H8354, he sent them away^H7971, and they went^H3212 to their master^H113. So the bands^H1416 of Syria^H758 came^H935 no more^H3254 into the land^H776 of Israel^H3478.

²⁴And it came to pass after this^H310, that Benhadad^H1130 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 gathered^H6908 all his host^H4264, and went up^H5927, and besieged^H6696 Samaria^H8111.²⁵And there was a great^H1419 famine^H7458 in Samaria^H8111: and, behold, they besieged^H6696 it, until an ass's^H2543 head^H7218 was sold for fourscore^H8084 pieces of silver^H3701, and the fourth part^H7255 of a cab^H6894 of dove's dung^{H1686 H3123 H2755} for five^H2568 pieces of silver^H3701.²⁶And as the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 was passing by^H5674 upon the wall^H2346, there cried^H6817 a woman^H802 unto him, saying^H559, Help^H3467, my lord^H113, O king^H4428.²⁷And he said^H559, If the LORD^H3068 do not help^H3467 thee, whence^H370 shall I help^H3467 thee? out of the barnfloor^H1637, or out of the winepress^H3342?²⁸And the king^H4428 said^H559 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered^H559, This woman^H802 said^H559 unto me, Give^H5414 thy son^H1121, that we may eat^H398 him to day^H3117, and we will eat^H398 my son^H1121 to morrow^H4279.²⁹So we boiled^H1310 my son^H1121, and did eat^H398 him: and I said^H559 unto her on the next^H312 day^H3117, Give^H5414 thy son^H1121, that we may eat^H398 him: and she hath hid^H2244 her son^H1121.

³⁰And it came to pass, when the king^H4428 heard^H8085 the words^H1697 of the woman^H802, that he rent^H7167 his clothes^H899; and he passed by^H5674 upon the wall^H2346, and the people^H5971 looked^H7200, and, behold, he had sackcloth^H8242 within^H1004 upon his flesh^H1320.³¹Then he said^H559, God^H430 do^H6213 so and more^H3254 also to me, if the head^H7218 of Elisha^H477 the son^H1121 of Shaphat^H8202 shall stand^H5975 on him this day^H3117.³²But Elisha^H477 sat^H3427 in his house^H1004, and the elders^H2205 sat^H3427 with him; and the king sent^H7971 a man^H376 from before^H6440 him: but ere the messenger^H4397 came^H935 to him, he said^H559 to the elders^H2205, See^H7200 ye how this son^H1121 of a murderer^H7523 hath sent^H7971 to take away^H5493 mine head^H7218? look^H7200, when the messenger^H4397 cometh^H935, shut^H5462 the door^H1817, and hold him fast^H3905 at the door^H1817: is not the sound^H6963 of his master's^H113 feet^H7272 behind^H310 him?³³And while he yet talked^H1696 with them, behold, the messenger^H4397 came down^H3381 unto him: and he said^H559, Behold, this evil^H7451 is of the LORD^H3068; what should I wait^H3176 for the LORD^H3068 any longer?
