II Kings 8 (kjv)

Then spake^H1696 Elisha^H477 unto the woman^H802, whose son^H1121 he had restored to life^H2421, saying^H559, Arise^H6965, and go^H3212 thou and thine household^H1004, and sojourn^H1481 wheresoever^H834 thou canst sojourn^H1481: for the LORD^H3068 hath called^H7121 for a famine^H7458; and it shall also come^H935 upon the land^H776 seven^H7651 years^H8141.²And the woman^H802 arose^H6965, and did^H6213 after the saying^H1697 of the man^H376 of God^H430: and she went^H3212 with her household^H1004, and sojourned^H1481 in the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430 seven^H7651 years^H8141.³And it came to pass at the seven^H7651 years^H8141' end^H7097, that the woman^H802 returned^H7725 out of the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430: and she went forth^H3318 to cry^H6817 unto the king^H4428 for her house^H1004 and for her land^H7704.⁴And the king^H4428 talked^H1696 with Gehazi^H1522 the servant^H5288 of the man^H376 of God^H430, saying^H559, Tell^H5608 me, I pray thee, all the great things^H1419 that Elisha^H477 hath done^H6213.

⁵And it came to pass, as he was telling^H5608 the king^H4428 how he had restored^H2421 a dead body^H4191 to life^H2421, that, behold, the woman^H802, whose son^H1121 he had restored to life^H2421, cried^H6817 to the king^H4428 for her house^H1004 and for her land^H7704. And Gehazi^H1522 said^H559, My lord^H113, O king^H4428, this is the woman^H802, and this is her son^H1121, whom Elisha^H477 restored to life^H2421.⁶And when the king^H4428 asked^H7592 the woman^H802, she told^H5608 him. So the king^H4428 appointed^H5414 unto her a certain^H259 officer^H5631, saying^H559, Restore^H7725 all that was hers, and all the fruits^H8393 of the field^H7704 since the day^H3117 that she left^H5800 the land^H776, even until now.

⁷And Elisha^H477 came^H935 to Damascus^H1834; and Benhadad^H1130 the king^H4428 of Syria^H758 was sick^H2470; and it was told^H5046 him, saying^H559, The man^H376 of God^H430 is come^H935 hither^H2008.⁸And the king^H4428 said^H559 unto Hazael^H2371, Take^H3947 a present^H4503 in thine hand^H3027, and go^H3212, meet^H7125 the man^H376 of God^H430, and enquire^H1875 of the LORD^H3068 by him, saying^H559, Shall I recover^H2421 of this disease^H2483?⁹So Hazael^H2371 went^H3212 to meet^H7125 him, and took^H3947 a present^H4503 with him^H3027, even of every good thing^H2898 of Damascus^H1834, forty^H705 camels^H1581' burden^H4853, and came^H935 and stood^H5975 before^H6440 him, and said^H559, Thy son^H1121 Benhadad^H1130 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 hath sent^H7971 me to thee, saying^H559, Shall I recover^H2421 of this disease^H2483?¹⁰And Elisha^H477 said^H559 unto him, Go^H3212, say^H559 unto him, Thou mayest certainly^H2421 recover^H2421: howbeit the LORD^H3068 hath shewed^H7200 me that he shall surely^H4191 die^H4191.¹¹And he settled^H5975 his countenance^H6440 stedfastly^H7760, until he was ashamed^H954: and the man^H376 of God^H430 wept^H1058.¹²And Hazael^H2371 said^H559, Why weepeth^H1058 my lord^H113? And he answered^H559, Because I know^H3045 the evil^H7451 that thou wilt do^H6213 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: their strong holds^H4013 wilt thou set^H7971 on fire^H784, and their young men^H970 wilt thou slay^H2026 with the sword^H2719, and wilt dash^H7376 their children^H5768, and rip up^H1234 their women with child^H2030.¹³And Hazael^H2371 said^H559, But what, is thy servant^H5650 a dog^H3611, that he should do^H6213 this great^H1419 thing^H1697? And Elisha^H477 answered^H559, The LORD^H3068 hath shewed^H7200 me that thou shalt be king^H4428 over Syria^H758.¹⁴So he departed^H3212 from Elisha^H477, and came^H935 to his master^H113; who said^H559 to him, What said^H559 Elisha^H477 to thee? And he answered^H559, He told^H559 me that thou shouldest surely^H2421 recover^H2421.¹⁵And it came to pass on the morrow^H4283, that he took^H3947 a thick cloth^H4346, and dipped^H2881 it in water^H4325, and spread^H6566 it on his face^H6440, so that he died^H4191: and Hazael^H2371 reigned^H4427 in his stead.

¹⁶And in the fifth^H2568 year^H8141 of Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, Jehoshaphat^H3092 being then king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, Jehoram^H3088 the son^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began to reign^H4427.¹⁷Thirty^H7970 and two^H8147 years^H8141 old^H1121 was he when he began to reign^H4427; and he reigned^H4427 eight^H8083 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389.¹⁸And he walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478, as did^H6213 the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256: for the daughter^H1323 of Ahab^H256 was his wife^H802: and he did^H6213 evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068.¹⁹Yet the LORD^H3068 would^H14 not destroy^H7843 Judah^H3063 for David^H1732 his servant's^H5650 sake, as he promised^H559 him to give^H5414 him alway^H3117 a light^H5216, and to his children^H1121.

²⁰In his days^H3117 Edom^H123 revolted^H6586 from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063, and made^H4427 a king^H4428 over themselves.²¹So Joram^H3141 went over^H5674 to Zair^H6811, and all the chariots^H7393 with him: and he rose^H6965 by night^H3915, and smote^H5221 the Edomites^H123 which compassed him about^H5437, and the captains^H8269 of the chariots^H7393: and the people^H5971 fled^H5127 into their tents^H168.²²Yet Edom^H123 revolted^H6586 from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063 unto this day^H3117. Then Libnah^H3841 revolted^H6586 at the same^H1931 time^H6256.

²³And the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Joram^H3141, and all that he did^H6213, are they not written^H3789 in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^{H1697 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063?²⁴And Joram^H3141 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912 with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Ahaziah^H274 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead.

²⁵In the twelfth^{H8147 H6240 H8141} year^H8141 of Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 did Ahaziah^H274 the son^H1121 of Jehoram^H3088 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 begin to reign^H4427.²⁶Two^H8147 and twenty^H6242 years^H8141 old^H1121 was Ahaziah^H274 when he began to reign^H4427; and he reigned^H4427 one^H259 year^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389. And his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Athaliah^H6271, the daughter^H1323 of Omri^H6018 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478.²⁷And he walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256, and did^H6213 evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, as did the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256: for he was the son in law^H2860 of the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256.

²⁸And he went^H3212 with Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 to the war^H4421 against Hazael^H2371 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 in Ramothgilead^{H7433 H1568}; and the Syrians^H761 wounded^H5221 Joram^H3141.²⁹And king^H4428 Joram^H3141 went back^H7725 to be healed^H7495 in Jezreel^H3157 of the wounds^H4347 which the Syrians^H761 had given^H5221 him at Ramah^H7414, when he fought^H3898 against Hazael^H2371 king^H4428 of Syria^H758. And Ahaziah^H274 the son^H1121 of Jehoram^H3088 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 went down^H3381 to see^H7200 Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 in Jezreel^H3157, because he was sick^H2470.
