Chapter 1

1 THEN Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

2 And Ahaziah fell down from the balcony of his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover from this injury.

3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?

4 Now therefore thus says the LORD: You shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die. And Elijah departed.

5 And when the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, Why have you turned back?

6 And they said to him, A man came up to meet us and said to us, Go, turn again to the man who sent you and say to him, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Therefore thus says the LORD: You shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die.

7 And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?

8 And they answered him, He was a hairy man and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said to them, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

9 Then he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and he was sitting on top of a mountain. And he said to him, O prophet of God, the king says, Come down.

10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a prophet of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he spoke to him, saying, O prophet of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.

12 And Elijah answered and said to him, If I am a prophet of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

13 And he sent again to him the third time a captain of fifty with his fifty. And the captain of fifty went up and fell on his knees before Elijah and besought him and said to him, O prophet of God, let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours who are standing before you be precious in your sight.

14 For behold, there came fire down from heaven and consumed the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; therefore let now my life be precious in your sight.

15 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him; be not afraid of him. And he arose and went down with him to the king.

16 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD: Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire for his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die.

17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead in the second year of Joram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah and all which he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Chapter 1

1 Then Moab4124 rebelled6586 against Israel3478 after310 the death4194 of Ahab.256

2 And Ahaziah274 fell5307 down through1157 a lattice7639 in his upper5944 chamber5944 that was in Samaria,8111 and was sick:2470 and he sent7971 messengers,4397 and said559 to them, Go,3212 inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron6138 whether518 I shall recover2421 of this2088 disease.2483

3 But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go5927 up to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 to them, Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you go1980 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4 Now therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 You shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191 And Elijah452 departed.3212

5 And when the messengers4397 turned7725 back7725 to him, he said559 to them, Why4100 are you now2088 turned7725 back?7725

6 And they said559 to him, There came5927 a man376 up to meet7125 us, and said559 to us, Go,3212 turn7725 again7725 to the king4428 that sent7971 you, and say1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you send7971 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 you shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

7 And he said1696 to them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came5927 up to meet7125 you, and told1696 you these428 words?1697

8 And they answered559 him, He was an hairy1167 8181 man,376 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9 Then the king4428 sent7971 to him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went5927 up to him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of an hill.2022 And he spoke1696 to him, You man376 of God,430 the king4428 has said,1696 Come3381 down.3381

10 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And there came3381 down3381 fire784 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11 Again7725 also he sent7971 to him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 has the king4428 said,559 Come3381 down3381 quickly.4120

12 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to them, If518 I be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13 And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went5927 up, and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and sought2603 him, and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 I pray4994 you, let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 your servants,5650 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

14 Behold,2009 there came3381 fire784 down3381 from heaven,8064 and burnt398 up the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

15 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah,452 Go3381 down3381 with him: be not afraid3372 of him. And he arose,6965 and went3381 down3381 with him to the king.4428

16 And he said1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 For as much3282 834 as you have sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore you shall not come3381 down3381 off that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

17 So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah;3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did,6213 are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

1 Then Moab4124 rebelled6586 against Israel3478 after310 the death4194 of Ahab.256

2 And Ahaziah fell down from the balcony of his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover from this injury.

2 And Ahaziah274 fell5307 down through1157 a lattice7639 in his upper5944 chamber5944 that was in Samaria,8111 and was sick:2470 and he sent7971 messengers,4397 and said559 to them, Go,3212 inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron6138 whether518 I shall recover2421 of this2088 disease.2483

3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?

3 But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go5927 up to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 to them, Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you go1980 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4 Now therefore thus says the LORD: You shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die. And Elijah departed.

4 Now therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 You shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191 And Elijah452 departed.3212

5 And when the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, Why have you turned back?

5 And when the messengers4397 turned7725 back7725 to him, he said559 to them, Why4100 are you now2088 turned7725 back?7725

6 And they said to him, A man came up to meet us and said to us, Go, turn again to the man who sent you and say to him, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Therefore thus says the LORD: You shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die.

6 And they said559 to him, There came5927 a man376 up to meet7125 us, and said559 to us, Go,3212 turn7725 again7725 to the king4428 that sent7971 you, and say1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you send7971 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 you shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

7 And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?

7 And he said1696 to them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came5927 up to meet7125 you, and told1696 you these428 words?1697

8 And they answered him, He was a hairy man and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said to them, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

8 And they answered559 him, He was an hairy1167 8181 man,376 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9 Then he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and he was sitting on top of a mountain. And he said to him, O prophet of God, the king says, Come down.

9 Then the king4428 sent7971 to him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went5927 up to him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of an hill.2022 And he spoke1696 to him, You man376 of God,430 the king4428 has said,1696 Come3381 down.3381

10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a prophet of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

10 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And there came3381 down3381 fire784 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he spoke to him, saying, O prophet of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.

11 Again7725 also he sent7971 to him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 has the king4428 said,559 Come3381 down3381 quickly.4120

12 And Elijah answered and said to him, If I am a prophet of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

12 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to them, If518 I be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13 And he sent again to him the third time a captain of fifty with his fifty. And the captain of fifty went up and fell on his knees before Elijah and besought him and said to him, O prophet of God, let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours who are standing before you be precious in your sight.

13 And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went5927 up, and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and sought2603 him, and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 I pray4994 you, let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 your servants,5650 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

14 For behold, there came fire down from heaven and consumed the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; therefore let now my life be precious in your sight.

14 Behold,2009 there came3381 fire784 down3381 from heaven,8064 and burnt398 up the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

15 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him; be not afraid of him. And he arose and went down with him to the king.

15 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah,452 Go3381 down3381 with him: be not afraid3372 of him. And he arose,6965 and went3381 down3381 with him to the king.4428

16 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD: Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire for his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed on which you are lying, but you shall surely die.

16 And he said1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 For as much3282 834 as you have sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore you shall not come3381 down3381 off that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead in the second year of Joram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.

17 So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah;3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah and all which he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

18 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did,6213 are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478
