Chapter 8

1 Then spoke1696 Elisha477 unto413 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 saying,559 Arise,6965 and go1980 thou859 and thine household,1004 and sojourn1481 wheresoever834 thou canst sojourn:1481 for3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 for a famine;7458 and it shall also1571 come935 upon413 the land776 seven7651 years.8141

2 And the woman802 arose,6965 and did6213 after the saying1697 of the man376 of God:430 and she1931 went1980 with her household,1004 and sojourned1481 in the land776 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 years.8141

3 And it came to pass1961 at the seven7651 years'8141 end,4480 7097 that the woman802 returned7725 out of the land4480 776 of the Philistines:6430 and she went forth3318 to cry6817 unto413 the king4428 for413 her house1004 and for413 her land.7704

4 And the king4428 talked1696 with413 Gehazi1522 the servant5288 of the man376 of God,430 saying,559 Tell5608 me, I pray thee,4994 853 all3605 the great things1419 that834 Elisha477 hath done.6213

5 And it came to pass,1961 as he1931 was telling5608 the king4428 853 how834 he had restored a dead body to life,2421 853 4191 that, behold,2009 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 cried6817 to413 the king4428 for5921 her house1004 and for5921 her land.7704 And Gehazi1522 said,559 My lord,113 O king,4428 this2063 is the woman,802 and this2088 is her son,1121 whom834 Elisha477 restored to life.2421

6 And when the king4428 asked7592 the woman,802 she told5608 him. So the king4428 appointed5414 unto her a certain259 officer,5631 saying,559 Restore7725 853 all3605 that834 was hers, and all3605 the fruits8393 of the field7704 since the day4480 3117 that she left5800 853 the land,776 even until5704 now.6258

7 And Elisha477 came935 to Damascus;1834 and Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 was sick;2470 and it was told5046 him, saying,559 The man376 of God430 is come935 hither.5704 2008

8 And the king4428 said559 unto413 Hazael,2371 Take3947 a present4503 in thine hand,3027 and go,1980 meet7122 the man376 of God,430 and inquire1875 853 of the LORD3068 by4480 854 him, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

9 So Hazael2371 went1980 to meet7122 him, and took3947 a present4503 with3027 him, even of every3605 good thing2898 of Damascus,1834 forty705 camels'1581 burden,4853 and came935 and stood5975 before6440 him, and said,559 Thy son1121 Ben-hadad1130 king4428 of Syria758 hath sent7971 me to413 thee, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

10 And Elisha477 said559 unto413 him, Go,1980 say559 unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover:2421 2421 howbeit the LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that3588 he shall surely die.4191 4191

11 And he settled5975 853 his countenance6440 steadfastly,7760 until5704 he was ashamed:954 and the man376 of God430 wept.1058

12 And Hazael2371 said,559 Why4069 weepeth1058 my lord?113 And he answered,559 Because3588 I know3045 853 the evil7451 that834 thou wilt do6213 unto the children1121 of Israel:3478 their strongholds4013 wilt thou set7971 on fire,784 and their young men970 wilt thou slay2026 with the sword,2719 and wilt dash7376 their children,5768 and rip up1234 their women with child.2030

13 And Hazael2371 said,559 But3588 what,4100 is thy servant5650 a dog,3611 that3588 he should do6213 this2088 great1419 thing?1697 And Elisha477 answered,559 The LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that thou shalt be king4428 over5921 Syria.758

14 So he departed1980 from4480 854 Elisha,477 and came935 to413 his master;113 who said559 to him, What4100 said559 Elisha477 to thee? And he answered,559 He told559 me that thou shouldest surely recover.2421 2421

15 And it came to pass1961 on the morrow,4480 4283 that he took3947 a thick cloth,4346 and dipped2881 it in water,4325 and spread6566 it on5921 his face,6440 so that he died:4191 and Hazael2371 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

16 And in the fifth2568 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 Jehoshaphat3092 being then king4428 of Judah,3063 Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

17 Thirty7970 and two8147 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 eight8083 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389

18 And he walked1980 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 as834 did6213 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for3588 the daughter1323 of Ahab256 was1961 his wife:802 and he did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

19 Yet the LORD3068 would14 not3808 destroy7843 853 Judah3063 for David1732 his servant's5650 sake,4616 as834 he promised559 him to give5414 him always3605 3117 a light,5216 and to his children.1121

20 In his days3117 Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah,3063 and made4427 a king4428 over5921 themselves.

21 So Joram3141 went over5674 to Zair,6811 and all3605 the chariots7393 with5973 him: and he1931 rose6965 by night,3915 and smote5221 853 the Edomites123 which compassed him about,5437 413 and the captains8269 of the chariots:7393 and the people5971 fled5127 into their tents.168

22 Yet Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah3063 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 Then227 Libnah3841 revolted6586 at the same1931 time.6256

23 And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Joram,3141 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063

24 And Joram3141 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and was buried6912 with5973 his fathers1 in the city5892 of David:1732 and Ahaziah274 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

25 In the twelfth8147 6240 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 king4428 of Israel3478 did Ahaziah274 the son1121 of Jehoram3088 king4428 of Judah3063 begin to reign.4427

26 Two8147 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 was Ahaziah274 when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 one259 year8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Athaliah,6271 the daughter1323 of Omri6018 king4428 of Israel.3478

27 And he walked1980 in the way1870 of the house1004 of Ahab,256 and did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 as did the house1004 of Ahab:256 for3588 he1931 was the son-in-law2860 of the house1004 of Ahab.256

28 And he went1980 with854 Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 to the war4421 against5973 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 in Ramoth-gilead;7433 and the Syrians761 wounded5221 853 Joram.3141

29 And king4428 Joram3141 went back7725 to be healed7495 in Jezreel3157 of4480 the wounds4347 which834 the Syrians761 had given5221 him at Ramah,7414 when he fought3898 against854 Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria.758 And Ahaziah274 the son1121 of Jehoram3088 king4428 of Judah3063 went down3381 to see7200 853 Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 in Jezreel,3157 because3588 he1931 was sick.2470

Chapter 8

1 THEN Elisha said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, Arise and go, you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall come upon the land for seven years.

2 So the woman arose and did according to the word of the prophet of God; and she went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

3 And at the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her field.

4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the prophet of God, saying, Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.

5 And while he was telling the king how Elisha had restored a dead body to life, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.

6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer and said to him, Restore all that was hers and all the produce of her field from the day that she left the land even until now.

7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Bar-hadad the king of Aram was sick; and it was told him, saying, The prophet of God has come here.

8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present with you and go to meet the prophet of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him and said to him, Your son Bar-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You shall surely recover; but the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die.

11 Then the prophet of God wept.

12 And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And Elisha said to him, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, their young men you will slay with the sword, and you will dash their children against the ground and rip up their women with child.

13 And Hazael said, But what, is your servant a dog, that he should do this terrible thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has shown me that you shall be king over Aram.

14 So Hazael departed from Elisha and came to his master; and his master said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he answered, Thus he said to me: You shall surely recover.

15 And on the morrow, Hazael took a thick cloth and dipped it in water and spread it on the king's face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.

16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel. Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.

17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for the sister of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised to him that he would give an heir to his children all the days.

20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah and set up a king over themselves.

21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose by night to smite the Edomites who had surrounded him and his commanders with chariots; but the people fled to their tents.

22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah even to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

23 And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

24 And Joram slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

25 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Joram king of Judah began to reign.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael the king of Aram at Ramath-gilead; and the Arameans wounded Joram.

29 And Joram the son of Ahab went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramath, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah the son of Joram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

1 Then spoke1696 Elisha477 unto413 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 saying,559 Arise,6965 and go1980 thou859 and thine household,1004 and sojourn1481 wheresoever834 thou canst sojourn:1481 for3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 for a famine;7458 and it shall also1571 come935 upon413 the land776 seven7651 years.8141

1 THEN Elisha said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, Arise and go, you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall come upon the land for seven years.

2 And the woman802 arose,6965 and did6213 after the saying1697 of the man376 of God:430 and she1931 went1980 with her household,1004 and sojourned1481 in the land776 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 years.8141

2 So the woman arose and did according to the word of the prophet of God; and she went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

3 And it came to pass1961 at the seven7651 years'8141 end,4480 7097 that the woman802 returned7725 out of the land4480 776 of the Philistines:6430 and she went forth3318 to cry6817 unto413 the king4428 for413 her house1004 and for413 her land.7704

3 And at the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her field.

4 And the king4428 talked1696 with413 Gehazi1522 the servant5288 of the man376 of God,430 saying,559 Tell5608 me, I pray thee,4994 853 all3605 the great things1419 that834 Elisha477 hath done.6213

4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the prophet of God, saying, Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.

5 And it came to pass,1961 as he1931 was telling5608 the king4428 853 how834 he had restored a dead body to life,2421 853 4191 that, behold,2009 the woman,802 whose834 853 son1121 he had restored to life,2421 cried6817 to413 the king4428 for5921 her house1004 and for5921 her land.7704 And Gehazi1522 said,559 My lord,113 O king,4428 this2063 is the woman,802 and this2088 is her son,1121 whom834 Elisha477 restored to life.2421

5 And while he was telling the king how Elisha had restored a dead body to life, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.

6 And when the king4428 asked7592 the woman,802 she told5608 him. So the king4428 appointed5414 unto her a certain259 officer,5631 saying,559 Restore7725 853 all3605 that834 was hers, and all3605 the fruits8393 of the field7704 since the day4480 3117 that she left5800 853 the land,776 even until5704 now.6258

6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer and said to him, Restore all that was hers and all the produce of her field from the day that she left the land even until now.

7 And Elisha477 came935 to Damascus;1834 and Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 was sick;2470 and it was told5046 him, saying,559 The man376 of God430 is come935 hither.5704 2008

7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Bar-hadad the king of Aram was sick; and it was told him, saying, The prophet of God has come here.

8 And the king4428 said559 unto413 Hazael,2371 Take3947 a present4503 in thine hand,3027 and go,1980 meet7122 the man376 of God,430 and inquire1875 853 of the LORD3068 by4480 854 him, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present with you and go to meet the prophet of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

9 So Hazael2371 went1980 to meet7122 him, and took3947 a present4503 with3027 him, even of every3605 good thing2898 of Damascus,1834 forty705 camels'1581 burden,4853 and came935 and stood5975 before6440 him, and said,559 Thy son1121 Ben-hadad1130 king4428 of Syria758 hath sent7971 me to413 thee, saying,559 Shall I recover2421 of this disease?4480 2483 2088

9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him and said to him, Your son Bar-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

10 And Elisha477 said559 unto413 him, Go,1980 say559 unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover:2421 2421 howbeit the LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that3588 he shall surely die.4191 4191

10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You shall surely recover; but the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die.

11 And he settled5975 853 his countenance6440 steadfastly,7760 until5704 he was ashamed:954 and the man376 of God430 wept.1058

11 Then the prophet of God wept.

12 And Hazael2371 said,559 Why4069 weepeth1058 my lord?113 And he answered,559 Because3588 I know3045 853 the evil7451 that834 thou wilt do6213 unto the children1121 of Israel:3478 their strongholds4013 wilt thou set7971 on fire,784 and their young men970 wilt thou slay2026 with the sword,2719 and wilt dash7376 their children,5768 and rip up1234 their women with child.2030

12 And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And Elisha said to him, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, their young men you will slay with the sword, and you will dash their children against the ground and rip up their women with child.

13 And Hazael2371 said,559 But3588 what,4100 is thy servant5650 a dog,3611 that3588 he should do6213 this2088 great1419 thing?1697 And Elisha477 answered,559 The LORD3068 hath showed7200 me that thou shalt be king4428 over5921 Syria.758

13 And Hazael said, But what, is your servant a dog, that he should do this terrible thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has shown me that you shall be king over Aram.

14 So he departed1980 from4480 854 Elisha,477 and came935 to413 his master;113 who said559 to him, What4100 said559 Elisha477 to thee? And he answered,559 He told559 me that thou shouldest surely recover.2421 2421

14 So Hazael departed from Elisha and came to his master; and his master said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he answered, Thus he said to me: You shall surely recover.

15 And it came to pass1961 on the morrow,4480 4283 that he took3947 a thick cloth,4346 and dipped2881 it in water,4325 and spread6566 it on5921 his face,6440 so that he died:4191 and Hazael2371 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

15 And on the morrow, Hazael took a thick cloth and dipped it in water and spread it on the king's face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.

16 And in the fifth2568 year8141 of Joram3141 the son1121 of Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 Jehoshaphat3092 being then king4428 of Judah,3063 Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel. Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.

17 Thirty7970 and two8147 years8141 old1121 was1961 he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 eight8083 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389

17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

18 And he walked1980 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 as834 did6213 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for3588 the daughter1323 of Ahab256 was1961 his wife:802 and he did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for the sister of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

19 Yet the LORD3068 would14 not3808 destroy7843 853 Judah3063 for David1732 his servant's5650 sake,4616 as834 he promised559 him to give5414 him always3605 3117 a light,5216 and to his children.1121

19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised to him that he would give an heir to his children all the days.

20 In his days3117 Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah,3063 and made4427 a king4428 over5921 themselves.

20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah and set up a king over themselves.

21 So Joram3141 went over5674 to Zair,6811 and all3605 the chariots7393 with5973 him: and he1931 rose6965 by night,3915 and smote5221 853 the Edomites123 which compassed him about,5437 413 and the captains8269 of the chariots:7393 and the people5971 fled5127 into their tents.168

21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose by night to smite the Edomites who had surrounded him and his commanders with chariots; but the people fled to their tents.

22 Yet Edom123 revolted6586 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Judah3063 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 Then227 Libnah3841 revolted6586 at the same1931 time.6256

22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah even to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
