2 Samuel 7:1 Now it happened that, when the king had settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,2 Samuel 7:1
2 Samuel 7:3 And Nathan said to the king: “Go, do all that is in your heart. For the Lord is with you.”2 Samuel 7:3
2 Samuel 7:18 Then king David entered and sat before the Lord, and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would bring me to this point?2 Samuel 7:18
2 Samuel 8:3 And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.2 Samuel 8:3
2 Samuel 8:5 And the Syrians of Damascus arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.2 Samuel 8:5
2 Samuel 8:8 And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.2 Samuel 8:8
2 Samuel 8:9 Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.2 Samuel 8:9
2 Samuel 8:10 And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass.2 Samuel 8:10
2 Samuel 8:11 And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:2 Samuel 8:11
2 Samuel 8:12 from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.2 Samuel 8:12
2 Samuel 9:2 Now there was, from the house of Saul, a servant named Ziba. And when the king had called him to himself, he said to him, “Are you not Ziba?” And he responded, “I am your servant.”2 Samuel 9:2
2 Samuel 9:3 And the king said, “Could there be anyone alive from the house of Saul, so that I may show the mercy of God to him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is left alive a son of Jonathan, with disabled feet.”2 Samuel 9:3
2 Samuel 9:4 “Where is he?” he said. And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.”2 Samuel 9:4
2 Samuel 9:5 Therefore, king David sent and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.2 Samuel 9:5
2 Samuel 9:9 And so, the king called Ziba, the servant of Saul, and he said to him: “Everything whatsoever that belonged to Saul, and his entire house, I have given to the son of your lord.2 Samuel 9:9
2 Samuel 9:11 And Ziba said to the king: “Just as my lord has ordered your servant, so will your servant do. And Mephibosheth shall eat at my table, like one of the sons of the king.”2 Samuel 9:11
2 Samuel 9:13 But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem. For he was fed always from the table of the king. And he was lame in both feet.2 Samuel 9:13
2 Samuel 10:1 Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.2 Samuel 10:1
2 Samuel 10:6 Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.2 Samuel 10:6
2 Samuel 10:19 Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.2 Samuel 10:19
2 Samuel 11:1 Now it happened that, at the turn of the year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all of Israel, and they laid waste to the sons of Ammon, and they besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.2 Samuel 11:1
2 Samuel 11:3 Therefore, the king sent and inquired who the woman might be. And it was reported to him that she was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah, the Hittite.2 Samuel 11:3
2 Samuel 11:8 And David said to Uriah, “Go into your house, and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And a meal from the king followed after him.2 Samuel 11:8
2 Samuel 11:19 And he instructed the messenger, saying: “When you have completed all the words about the war to the king,2 Samuel 11:19
2 Samuel 12:7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.2 Samuel 12:7
2 Samuel 12:30 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.2 Samuel 12:30
2 Samuel 13:6 And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from her hand.”2 Samuel 13:6
2 Samuel 13:13 For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”2 Samuel 13:13
2 Samuel 13:18 Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind her.2 Samuel 13:18
2 Samuel 13:21 And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.2 Samuel 13:21
2 Samuel 13:23 Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.2 Samuel 13:23
2 Samuel 13:24 And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”2 Samuel 13:24
2 Samuel 13:25 And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.2 Samuel 13:25
2 Samuel 13:26 And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he go with you.”2 Samuel 13:26
2 Samuel 13:27 But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.2 Samuel 13:27
2 Samuel 13:29 Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.2 Samuel 13:29
2 Samuel 13:30 And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”2 Samuel 13:30
2 Samuel 13:31 And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.2 Samuel 13:31
2 Samuel 13:32 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.2 Samuel 13:32
2 Samuel 13:33 Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”2 Samuel 13:33
2 Samuel 13:35 And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”2 Samuel 13:35
2 Samuel 13:36 And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.2 Samuel 13:36
2 Samuel 13:37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.2 Samuel 13:37
2 Samuel 13:39 And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.2 Samuel 13:39
2 Samuel 14:1 Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, understood that the heart of the king had been turned toward Absalom,2 Samuel 14:1
2 Samuel 14:3 And you shall enter to the king, and you shall speak words to him in this manner.” Then Joab put the words in her mouth.2 Samuel 14:3
2 Samuel 14:4 And so, when the woman of Tekoa had entered to the king, she fell before him on the ground, and she reverenced, and she said, “Save me, O king.”2 Samuel 14:4
2 Samuel 14:5 And the king said to her, “What problem do you have?” And she responded: “Alas, I am a woman who is a widow. For my husband has died.2 Samuel 14:5
2 Samuel 14:8 And the king said to the woman, “Go to your own house, and I will make a decree on your behalf.”2 Samuel 14:8
2 Samuel 14:9 And the woman of Tekoa said to the king: “May the iniquity be upon me, my lord, and upon the house of my father. But may the king and his throne be innocent.”2 Samuel 14:9
2 Samuel 14:10 And the king said, “Whoever will contradict you, bring him to me, and he will never touch you again.”2 Samuel 14:10
2 Samuel 14:11 And she said, “Let the king remember the Lord his God, so that close blood relatives may not be multiplied in order to take revenge, and so that they may by no means kill my son.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, not one hair from your son shall fall to the ground.”2 Samuel 14:11
2 Samuel 14:12 Then the woman said, “Let your handmaid speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”2 Samuel 14:12
2 Samuel 14:13 And the woman said: “Why have you thought such a thing against the people of God, and why has the king spoken this word, so that he sins and does not lead back the one whom he rejected?2 Samuel 14:13
2 Samuel 14:15 Therefore, now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, in the presence of the people. And your handmaid said: I will speak to the king, for perhaps there may be some way for the king to accomplish the word of his handmaid.2 Samuel 14:15
2 Samuel 14:16 And the king listened, and he freed his handmaid from the hand of all who were willing to take away me and my son together, from the inheritance of God.2 Samuel 14:16
2 Samuel 14:17 Therefore, let your handmaid speak, so that the word of my lord the king may be like a sacrifice. For even like an Angel of God, so is my lord the king, so that he is moved by neither a blessing, nor a curse. Then too, the Lord your God is with you.”2 Samuel 14:17
2 Samuel 14:18 And in response, the king said to the woman, “You shall not conceal from me a word of what I ask you.” And the woman said to him, “Speak, my lord the king.”2 Samuel 14:18
2 Samuel 14:19 And the king said, “Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said: “By the welfare of your soul, my lord the king, it is neither to the left, nor to the right, in all these things that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab himself instructed me, and he himself placed all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.2 Samuel 14:19
2 Samuel 14:20 Thus did I turn to this figure of speech, because your servant Joab instructed it. But you, my lord the king, are wise, just as an Angel of God has wisdom, so that you understand all that is upon the earth.”2 Samuel 14:20
2 Samuel 14:21 And the king said to Joab: “Behold, your word has succeeded in appeasing me. Therefore, go and call back the boy Absalom.”2 Samuel 14:21
2 Samuel 14:22 And falling to the ground upon his face, Joab reverenced, and he blessed the king. And Joab said: “Today your servant has understood that I have found grace in your sight, my lord the king. For you have accomplished the word of your servant.”2 Samuel 14:22
2 Samuel 14:24 But the king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” And so, Absalom returned to his own house, but he did not see the face of the king.2 Samuel 14:24
2 Samuel 14:28 And Absalom remained for two years in Jerusalem, and he did not see the face of the king.2 Samuel 14:28
2 Samuel 14:29 And so, he sent to Joab, so that he might send him to the king. But he refused to come to him. And when he had sent a second time, and he had refused to come to him,2 Samuel 14:29
2 Samuel 14:32 And Absalom responded to Joab: “I sent to you, begging that you might come to me, and that I might send you to the king, and that you might say to him: ‘Why was I brought from Geshur? It would have been better for me to be there.’ I beg you, therefore, that I may see the face of the king. And if he is mindful of my iniquity, let him put me to death.”2 Samuel 14:32
2 Samuel 14:33 And so, Joab, entering to the king, reported everything to him. And Absalom was summoned. And he entered to the king, and he reverenced on the face of the earth. And the king kissed Absalom.2 Samuel 14:33
2 Samuel 15:3 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:2 Samuel 15:3
2 Samuel 15:6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.2 Samuel 15:6
2 Samuel 15:7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.2 Samuel 15:7
2 Samuel 15:9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.2 Samuel 15:9
2 Samuel 15:15 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”2 Samuel 15:15
2 Samuel 15:16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.2 Samuel 15:16
2 Samuel 15:17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.2 Samuel 15:17
2 Samuel 15:18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.2 Samuel 15:18
2 Samuel 15:19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.2 Samuel 15:19
2 Samuel 15:21 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”2 Samuel 15:21
2 Samuel 15:23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.2 Samuel 15:23
2 Samuel 15:25 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.2 Samuel 15:25
2 Samuel 15:27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.2 Samuel 15:27
2 Samuel 15:34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel2 Samuel 15:34
2 Samuel 15:35 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.2 Samuel 15:35
2 Samuel 16:2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you intend to do with these things?” And Ziba responded: “The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.”2 Samuel 16:2
2 Samuel 16:3 And the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba answered the king: “He remained in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”2 Samuel 16:3
2 Samuel 16:4 And the king said to Ziba, “All the things which were for Mephibosheth are now yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you that I may find grace before you, my lord the king.”2 Samuel 16:4
2 Samuel 16:5 Then king David went as far as Bahurim. And behold, a man from the kindred of the house of Saul, named Shimei, the son of Gera, went out from there. And going out, he continued on, and he was cursing,2 Samuel 16:5
2 Samuel 16:6 and throwing stones against David and against all the servants of king David. And all the people and all the warriors were traveling to the right and to the left sides of the king.2 Samuel 16:6
2 Samuel 16:7 And so, as he was cursing the king, Shimei said: “Go away, go away, you man of blood, and you man of Belial!2 Samuel 16:7
2 Samuel 16:9 Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and cut off his head.”2 Samuel 16:9
2 Samuel 16:10 And the king said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Permit him, so that he may curse. For the Lord has commanded him to curse David. And who is the one who would dare to say, ‘Why has he done so?’ ”2 Samuel 16:10
2 Samuel 16:11 And the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: “Behold, my son, who went forth from my loins, is seeking my life. How much more does a son of Benjamin do so now? Permit him, so that he may curse, in accord with the command of the Lord.2 Samuel 16:11
2 Samuel 16:14 And the king and the entire people with him, being weary, went and refreshed themselves there.2 Samuel 16:14
2 Samuel 16:16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!”2 Samuel 16:16
2 Samuel 17:2 And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.2 Samuel 17:2
2 Samuel 17:16 Now therefore, send quickly, and report to David, saying: ‘You shall not stay this night in the plains of the desert. Instead, without delay, go across. Otherwise the king may be engulfed, and all the people who are with him.’ ”2 Samuel 17:16
2 Samuel 17:17 But Jonathan and Ahimaaz remained beside the Fountain of Rogel. And a handmaid went away and reported it to them. And they set out, so that they might carry the report to king David. For they could not be seen, nor enter into the city.2 Samuel 17:17
2 Samuel 17:21 And when they had gone, they ascended from the well. And traveling, they reported to king David, and they said: “Rise up, and go across the river quickly. For Ahithophel has given a counsel of this kind against you.”2 Samuel 17:21
2 Samuel 18:2 And he placed a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Ittai, who was from Gath. And the king said to the people, “I, too, will go forth with you.”2 Samuel 18:2
2 Samuel 18:4 And the king said to them, “I will do whatever seems good to you.” Therefore, the king stood beside the gate. And the people went out by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands.2 Samuel 18:4
2 Samuel 18:5 And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Preserve for me the boy Absalom.” And all the people heard the king commanding all the leaders on behalf of Absalom.2 Samuel 18:5
2 Samuel 18:12 And he said to Joab: “Even if you weighed out to my hands one thousand silver coins, I would never lay my hands on the son of the king. For in our hearing the king ordered you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Keep for me the boy Absalom.’2 Samuel 18:12
2 Samuel 18:13 Then too, if I had acted with such audacity, against my own life, this would never have been able to be hidden from the king. And would you then have stood by my side?”2 Samuel 18:13
2 Samuel 18:18 Now Absalom had raised up for himself, when he was still alive, a monument, which is in the Valley of the King. For he said, “I have no son, and so this shall be the memorial to my name.” And he called the monument by his own name. And it is called the Hand of Absalom, even to this day.2 Samuel 18:18
2 Samuel 18:19 Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, “I will run and report to the king that the Lord has accomplished judgment for him, from the hand of his enemies.”2 Samuel 18:19
2 Samuel 18:20 And Joab said to him: “You shall not be the messenger on this day. Instead, you shall report on another day. I am not willing for you to give the report today, because the son of the king is dead.”2 Samuel 18:20
2 Samuel 18:21 Then Joab said to Hushai, “Go, and report to the king what you have seen.” Hushai reverenced Joab, and he ran.2 Samuel 18:21
2 Samuel 18:25 And crying out, he told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth.” But as he was advancing and drawing nearer,2 Samuel 18:25
2 Samuel 18:26 the watchman saw another man running. And so, crying out from the height, he said: “Another man has appeared, running alone.” And the king said, “This one also is a good messenger.”2 Samuel 18:26
2 Samuel 18:27 Then the watchman said, “The running of the closest one seems like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “He is a good man, and he arrives bearing good news.”2 Samuel 18:27
2 Samuel 18:28 Then, Ahimaaz, crying out, said to the king, “Be well, O king.” And reverencing the king prone on the ground before him, he said, “Blessed be the Lord your God, who has enclosed the men who had lifted up their hands against my lord the king.”2 Samuel 18:28
2 Samuel 18:29 And the king said, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And Ahimaaz said: “I saw a great tumult, O king, when your servant Joab sent me, your servant. I know nothing else.”2 Samuel 18:29
2 Samuel 18:30 And the king said to him, “Pass, and stand here.” And when he had passed and stood still,2 Samuel 18:30
2 Samuel 18:31 Hushai appeared. And approaching, he said: “I bear good news, my lord the king. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.”2 Samuel 18:31
2 Samuel 18:32 But the king said to Hushai, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And responding, Hushai said to him, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against him for evil, be as the boy is.”2 Samuel 18:32
2 Samuel 18:33 And so the king, being greatly saddened, ascended to the upper room of the gate, and he wept. And as he went, he was speaking in this manner: “My son Absalom! Absalom my son! Who can grant to me that I may die on your behalf? Absalom, my son! My son, Absalom!”2 Samuel 18:33
2 Samuel 19:1 Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.2 Samuel 19:1
2 Samuel 19:2 And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”2 Samuel 19:2
2 Samuel 19:4 And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”2 Samuel 19:4
2 Samuel 19:5 Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.2 Samuel 19:5
2 Samuel 19:8 Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.2 Samuel 19:8
2 Samuel 19:9 And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.2 Samuel 19:9
2 Samuel 19:11 Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)2 Samuel 19:11
2 Samuel 19:14 And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”2 Samuel 19:14
2 Samuel 19:15 And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.2 Samuel 19:15
2 Samuel 19:16 And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,2 Samuel 19:16
2 Samuel 19:18 they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,2 Samuel 19:18
2 Samuel 19:19 said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.2 Samuel 19:19
2 Samuel 19:20 For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”2 Samuel 19:20
2 Samuel 19:22 And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”2 Samuel 19:22
2 Samuel 19:23 And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.2 Samuel 19:23
2 Samuel 19:24 And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed his feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.2 Samuel 19:24
2 Samuel 19:25 And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”2 Samuel 19:25
2 Samuel 19:26 And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.2 Samuel 19:26
2 Samuel 19:27 Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.2 Samuel 19:27
2 Samuel 19:28 For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”2 Samuel 19:28
2 Samuel 19:29 Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”2 Samuel 19:29
2 Samuel 19:30 And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”2 Samuel 19:30
2 Samuel 19:31 Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.2 Samuel 19:31
2 Samuel 19:32 Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.2 Samuel 19:32
2 Samuel 19:33 And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”2 Samuel 19:33
2 Samuel 19:34 And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?2 Samuel 19:34
2 Samuel 19:37 But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”2 Samuel 19:37
2 Samuel 19:38 And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”2 Samuel 19:38
2 Samuel 19:39 And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.2 Samuel 19:39
2 Samuel 19:40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.2 Samuel 19:40
2 Samuel 19:41 And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”2 Samuel 19:41
2 Samuel 19:42 And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”2 Samuel 19:42
2 Samuel 19:43 And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.2 Samuel 19:43
2 Samuel 20:2 And all of Israel separated from David, and they were following Sheba, the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah clung to their king, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem.2 Samuel 20:2
2 Samuel 20:3 And when the king had entered his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women concubines, whom he had left behind to care for the house, and he put them into custody, allowing them provisions. But he did not enter to them. Instead, they were enclosed, even until the day of their deaths, living as widows.2 Samuel 20:3
2 Samuel 20:4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon to me all the men of Judah on the third day, and you shall be present also.”2 Samuel 20:4
2 Samuel 20:5 Therefore, Amasa went away, so that he might summon Judah. But he delayed beyond the agreed time that the king had appointed to him.2 Samuel 20:5
2 Samuel 20:21 The matter is not as you said. Rather, a man from mount Ephraim, Sheba, the son of Bichri, by name, has lifted up his hand against king David. Deliver him alone, and we will withdraw from the city.” And the woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown down to you from the wall.’2 Samuel 20:21
2 Samuel 20:22 Therefore, she entered to all the people, and she spoke to them wisely. And they cut off the head of Sheba, the son of Bichri, and they threw it down to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, each one to his own tent. But Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.2 Samuel 20:22
2 Samuel 21:2 Therefore, the king, calling for the Gibeonites, spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but were the remnant of the Amorites. And the sons of Israel had sworn an oath to them, but Saul wished to strike them in zeal, as if on behalf of the sons of Israel and Judah.2 Samuel 21:2
2 Samuel 21:4 And the Gibeonites said to him: “There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.” The king said to them, “Then what do you wish that I should do for you?”2 Samuel 21:4
2 Samuel 21:5 And they said to the king: “The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.2 Samuel 21:5
2 Samuel 21:6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”2 Samuel 21:6
2 Samuel 21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.2 Samuel 21:7
2 Samuel 21:8 And so the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she conceived of Adriel, the son of Barzillai, who was from Meholath,2 Samuel 21:8
2 Samuel 21:14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan, in the land of Benjamin, to the side of the sepulcher of his father Kish. And they did all that the king had instructed. And after these things, God showed favor again to the land.2 Samuel 21:14
2 Samuel 22:51 magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring forever.”2 Samuel 22:51
2 Samuel 24:2 And the king said to Joab, the leader of his army, “Travel through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, so that I may know their number.”2 Samuel 24:2
2 Samuel 24:3 And Joab said to the king: “May the Lord your God increase your people, who are already great in number, and may he again increase them, one hundredfold, in the sight of my lord the king. But what does my lord the king intend for himself by this kind of thing?”2 Samuel 24:3
2 Samuel 24:4 But the words of the king prevailed over the words of Joab and the leaders of the army. And so Joab and the leaders of the military departed from the face of the king, so that they might number the people of Israel.2 Samuel 24:4
2 Samuel 24:9 Then Joab gave the number of the description of the people to the king. And there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand able-bodied men, who might draw the sword; and of Judah, five hundred thousand fighting men.2 Samuel 24:9
2 Samuel 24:20 And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.2 Samuel 24:20
2 Samuel 24:21 And going out, he adored the king, lying prone with his face to the ground, and he said, “What is the reason that my lord the king has come to his servant?” And David said to him, “So as to purchase the threshing floor from you, and to build an altar to the Lord, and to quiet the plague that rages among the people.”2 Samuel 24:21
2 Samuel 24:22 And Araunah said to David: “May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood.”2 Samuel 24:22
2 Samuel 24:23 All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept your vow.”2 Samuel 24:23
2 Samuel 24:24 And in response, the king said to him: “It shall not be as you wish. Instead, I will purchase it from you at a price. For I will not offer to the Lord, my God, holocausts that cost nothing.” Therefore, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.2 Samuel 24:24

Bible passages with ‘King’ in the book 1 Kings
1 Kings 1:1 Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.1 Kings 1:1
1 Kings 1:2 Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”1 Kings 1:2
1 Kings 1:3 And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.1 Kings 1:3
1 Kings 1:4 Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.1 Kings 1:4
1 Kings 1:5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.1 Kings 1:5
1 Kings 1:6 Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.1 Kings 1:6
1 Kings 1:7 And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.1 Kings 1:7
1 Kings 1:8 Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.1 Kings 1:8
1 Kings 1:9 Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.1 Kings 1:9
1 Kings 1:10 But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.1 Kings 1:10
1 Kings 1:11 And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?1 Kings 1:11
1 Kings 1:12 Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.1 Kings 1:12
1 Kings 1:13 Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’1 Kings 1:13
1 Kings 1:14 And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”1 Kings 1:14
1 Kings 1:15 And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.1 Kings 1:15
1 Kings 1:16 Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”1 Kings 1:16
1 Kings 1:17 And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’1 Kings 1:17
1 Kings 1:18 And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.1 Kings 1:18
1 Kings 1:19 He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.1 Kings 1:19
1 Kings 1:20 Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.1 Kings 1:20
1 Kings 1:21 Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”1 Kings 1:21
1 Kings 1:22 And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.1 Kings 1:22
1 Kings 1:23 And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,1 Kings 1:23
1 Kings 1:24 Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’1 Kings 1:24
1 Kings 1:25 For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’1 Kings 1:25
1 Kings 1:26 But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.1 Kings 1:26
1 Kings 1:27 Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”1 Kings 1:27
1 Kings 1:28 And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,1 Kings 1:28
1 Kings 1:29 the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,1 Kings 1:29
1 Kings 1:30 just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”1 Kings 1:30
1 Kings 1:31 And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”1 Kings 1:31
1 Kings 1:32 And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,1 Kings 1:32
1 Kings 1:33 he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.1 Kings 1:33
1 Kings 1:34 And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’1 Kings 1:34
1 Kings 1:35 And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”1 Kings 1:35
1 Kings 1:36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.1 Kings 1:36
1 Kings 1:37 In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”1 Kings 1:37
1 Kings 1:38 Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.1 Kings 1:38
1 Kings 1:39 And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”1 Kings 1:39
1 Kings 1:40 And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.1 Kings 1:40
1 Kings 1:41 Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”1 Kings 1:41
1 Kings 1:42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”1 Kings 1:42
1 Kings 1:43 And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.1 Kings 1:43
1 Kings 1:44 And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.1 Kings 1:44
1 Kings 1:45 And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.1 Kings 1:45
1 Kings 1:46 But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.1 Kings 1:46
1 Kings 1:47 And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.1 Kings 1:47
1 Kings 1:48 And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’ ”1 Kings 1:48
1 Kings 1:49 Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.1 Kings 1:49
1 Kings 1:50 Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.1 Kings 1:50
1 Kings 1:51 And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’ ”1 Kings 1:51
1 Kings 1:52 And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”1 Kings 1:52
1 Kings 1:53 Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”1 Kings 1:53
1 Kings 2:1 Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:1 Kings 2:1
1 Kings 2:2 “I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.1 Kings 2:2
1 Kings 2:3 And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.1 Kings 2:3
1 Kings 2:4 So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’1 Kings 2:4
1 Kings 2:5 Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.1 Kings 2:5
1 Kings 2:6 Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace.1 Kings 2:6
1 Kings 2:7 Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.1 Kings 2:7
1 Kings 2:8 Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’1 Kings 2:8
1 Kings 2:9 yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.”1 Kings 2:9
1 Kings 2:10 And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.1 Kings 2:10
1 Kings 2:11 Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.1 Kings 2:11
1 Kings 2:12 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.1 Kings 2:12
1 Kings 2:13 And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”1 Kings 2:13
1 Kings 2:14 And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:1 Kings 2:14
1 Kings 2:15 “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.1 Kings 2:15
1 Kings 2:16 Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”1 Kings 2:16
1 Kings 2:17 And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”1 Kings 2:17
1 Kings 2:18 And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”1 Kings 2:18
1 Kings 2:19 Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.1 Kings 2:19
1 Kings 2:20 And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”1 Kings 2:20
1 Kings 2:21 And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”1 Kings 2:21
1 Kings 2:22 And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”1 Kings 2:22
1 Kings 2:23 And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.1 Kings 2:23
1 Kings 2:24 And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”1 Kings 2:24
1 Kings 2:25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.1 Kings 2:25
1 Kings 2:26 Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”1 Kings 2:26
1 Kings 2:27 Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.1 Kings 2:27
1 Kings 2:28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.1 Kings 2:28
1 Kings 2:29 And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”1 Kings 2:29
1 Kings 2:30 And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’ ” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”1 Kings 2:30
1 Kings 2:31 And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.1 Kings 2:31
1 Kings 2:32 And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.1 Kings 2:32
1 Kings 2:33 And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”1 Kings 2:33
1 Kings 2:34 And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.1 Kings 2:34
1 Kings 2:35 And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.1 Kings 2:35
1 Kings 2:36 Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.1 Kings 2:36
1 Kings 2:37 For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”1 Kings 2:37
1 Kings 2:38 And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.1 Kings 2:38
1 Kings 2:39 But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.1 Kings 2:39
1 Kings 2:40 And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.1 Kings 2:40
1 Kings 2:41 And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.1 Kings 2:41
1 Kings 2:42 And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’1 Kings 2:42
1 Kings 2:43 Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”1 Kings 2:43
1 Kings 2:44 And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”1 Kings 2:44
1 Kings 2:45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.1 Kings 2:45
1 Kings 2:46 And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.1 Kings 2:46
1 Kings 3:1 And so the kingdom was confirmed in the hand of Solomon, and he was joined with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, by affinity. For he took his daughter, and he led her into the city of David, until he completed building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.1 Kings 3:1
1 Kings 3:2 But still the people immolated in the high places. For no temple had been built to the name of the Lord, even to that day.1 Kings 3:2
1 Kings 3:3 Now Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father, except that he immolated in the high places, and he burned incense.1 Kings 3:3
1 Kings 3:4 And so, he went away to Gibeon, so that he might immolate there; for that was the greatest high place. Solomon offered upon that altar, at Gibeon, one thousand victims as holocausts.1 Kings 3:4
1 Kings 3:5 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon, through a dream in the night, saying, “Request whatever you wish, so that I may give it to you.”1 Kings 3:5
1 Kings 3:6 And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David, my father, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, just as it is this day.1 Kings 3:6
1 Kings 3:7 And now, O Lord God, you have caused your servant to reign in place of David, my father. But I am a small child, and I am ignorant of my entrance and departure.1 Kings 3:7
1 Kings 3:8 And your servant is in the midst of the people that you have chosen, an immense people, who are not able to be numbered or counted because of their multitude.1 Kings 3:8
1 Kings 3:9 Therefore, give to your servant a teachable heart, so that he may be able to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil. For who will be able to judge this people, your people, who are so many?”1 Kings 3:9
1 Kings 3:10 And the word was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon had requested this kind of thing.1 Kings 3:10
1 Kings 3:11 And the Lord said to Solomon: “Since you have requested this word, and you have not asked for many days or for wealth for yourself, nor for the lives of your enemies, but instead you have requested for yourself wisdom in order to discern judgment:1 Kings 3:11
1 Kings 3:12 behold, I have done for you according to your words, and I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so much so that there has been no one like you before you, nor anyone who will rise up after you.1 Kings 3:12
1 Kings 3:13 But also the things for which you did not ask, I have given to you, namely wealth and glory, so that no one has been like you among the kings in the all days before.1 Kings 3:13
1 Kings 3:14 And if you will walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, just as your father walked, I will lengthen your days.”1 Kings 3:14
1 Kings 3:15 Then Solomon awakened, and he understood that it was a dream. And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered holocausts and made victims of peace offerings, and he held a great feast for all his servants.1 Kings 3:15
1 Kings 3:16 Then two women harlots went to the king, and they stood before him.1 Kings 3:16
1 Kings 3:17 And one of them said: “I beg you, my lord, I and this woman were living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the room.1 Kings 3:17
1 Kings 3:18 Then, on the third day after I gave birth, she also gave birth. And we were together, with no other person with us in the house, only the two of us.1 Kings 3:18
1 Kings 3:19 Then this woman’s son died in the night. For while sleeping, she smothered him.1 Kings 3:19
1 Kings 3:20 And rising up in the silent depths of the night, she took my son from my side, while I, your handmaid, was sleeping, and she set him in her bosom. Then she placed her dead son in my bosom.1 Kings 3:20
1 Kings 3:21 And when I had arisen in the morning, so that I might give milk to my son, he appeared to be dead. But gazing upon him more diligently in the light of day, I realized that he was not mine, whom I had born.”1 Kings 3:21
1 Kings 3:22 And the other woman responded: “It is not such as you say. Instead, your son is dead, but mine is alive.” To the contrary, she said: “You are lying. For my son lives, and your son is dead.” And in this manner, they were contending before the king.1 Kings 3:22
1 Kings 3:23 Then said the king: “This one says, ‘My son is alive, and your son is dead.’ And the other responds, ‘No, instead your son is dead, but mine lives.’ ”1 Kings 3:23
1 Kings 3:24 Therefore the king said, “Bring a sword to me.” And when they had brought a sword before the king,1 Kings 3:24
1 Kings 3:25 he said, “Divide the living infant in two parts, and give a half part to the one and a half part to the other.”1 Kings 3:25
1 Kings 3:26 But the woman, whose son was alive, said to the king, for her heart was moved concerning her son, “I beg you, my lord, give the living infant to her, and do not kill him.” To the contrary, the other said, “Let it be neither for me, nor for you, instead divide it.”1 Kings 3:26
1 Kings 3:27 The king responded and said: “Give the living infant to this woman, and do not kill it. For she is his mother.”1 Kings 3:27
1 Kings 3:28 Then all of Israel heard about the judgment that the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to accomplish judgment.1 Kings 3:28
1 Kings 4:1 Now king Solomon was reigning over all of Israel.1 Kings 4:1
1 Kings 4:2 And these were the leaders that he had: Azariah, the son of Zadok, the priest;1 Kings 4:2
1 Kings 4:3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, the scribes; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, the keeper of records;1 Kings 4:3
1 Kings 4:4 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, over the army; and Zadok, and Abiathar, priests;1 Kings 4:4
1 Kings 4:5 Azariah, the son of Nathan, over those who were assisting the king; Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the friend of the king;1 Kings 4:5
1 Kings 4:6 and Ahishar, first ruler of the house; and Adoniram, the son of Abda, over the tribute.1 Kings 4:6
1 Kings 4:7 And Solomon had twelve commanders over all of Israel, who offered yearly provisions for the king and his house. For each was ministering the necessities, by each month of the year.1 Kings 4:7
1 Kings 4:8 And these are their names: Benhur, on mount Ephraim;1 Kings 4:8
1 Kings 4:9 Bendeker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon, and in Beth-hanan;1 Kings 4:9
1 Kings 4:10 Benhesed, in Arubboth: his was Socoh and the entire land of Hepher;1 Kings 4:10
1 Kings 4:11 Benabinadab, to whom was all of Naphath-Dor, who had Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, as wife;1 Kings 4:11
1 Kings 4:12 Baana, the son of Ahilud, who was reigning in Taanach, and Megiddo, and all of Bethshean, which is beside Zarethan and below Jezreel, from Bethshean as far as Abelmeholah, opposite Jokmeam;1 Kings 4:12
1 Kings 4:13 Bengeber, in Ramoth Gilead, who had the town of Jair, the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; the same was first in the entire region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls that had bronze bars;1 Kings 4:13
1 Kings 4:14 Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, who was first in Mahanaim;1 Kings 4:14
1 Kings 4:15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, and he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, in marriage;1 Kings 4:15
1 Kings 4:16 Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Bealoth;1 Kings 4:16
1 Kings 4:17 Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar;1 Kings 4:17
1 Kings 4:18 Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;1 Kings 4:18
1 Kings 4:19 Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan, over all who were in that land.1 Kings 4:19
1 Kings 4:20 Judah and Israel were innumerable, like the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.1 Kings 4:20
1 Kings 4:21 Now Solomon had, in his dominion, all the kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt. And they offered gifts to him, and they served him all the days of his life.1 Kings 4:21
1 Kings 4:22 And the provisions of Solomon, for each day, were thirty cor of fine wheat flour, and sixty cor of meal,1 Kings 4:22
1 Kings 4:23 ten fattened oxen, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred rams, aside from the venison of stags, roe deer, and gazelles, and fattened poultry.1 Kings 4:23
1 Kings 4:24 For he had obtained the entire region which was beyond the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gaza, and all the kings of those regions. And he had peace on every side all around.1 Kings 4:24
1 Kings 4:25 And so, Judah and Israel were living without any fear, each one under his own vine and under his own fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, during all the days of Solomon.1 Kings 4:25
1 Kings 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand riding horses.1 Kings 4:26
1 Kings 4:27 And the above-stated commanders of the king nourished these. And they also offered the necessities for the table of king Solomon, with immense diligence, each in his time.1 Kings 4:27
1 Kings 4:28 Also, they brought barley and straw for the horses and beasts of burden, to the place where the king was, just as it was appointed to them.1 Kings 4:28
1 Kings 4:29 And God gave wisdom to Solomon, and an exceedingly great prudence, and a spacious heart, like the sand which is on the shore of the sea.1 Kings 4:29
1 Kings 4:30 And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the East, and of the Egyptians.1 Kings 4:30
1 Kings 4:31 And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And he was renowned in all the nations on every side.1 Kings 4:31
1 Kings 4:32 Solomon also spoke three thousand parables. And his verses were one thousand and five.1 Kings 4:32
1 Kings 4:33 And he discoursed about trees, from the cedar which is in Lebanon, to the hyssop which grows out from the wall. And he explained about beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fish.1 Kings 4:33
1 Kings 4:34 And they came from all the peoples in order to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who were hearing about his wisdom.1 Kings 4:34
1 Kings 5:1 Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.1 Kings 5:1
1 Kings 5:3 “You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.1 Kings 5:3
1 Kings 5:4 But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.1 Kings 5:4
1 Kings 5:5 For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’1 Kings 5:5
1 Kings 5:6 Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”1 Kings 5:6
1 Kings 5:7 Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”1 Kings 5:7
1 Kings 5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.1 Kings 5:8
1 Kings 5:9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”1 Kings 5:9
1 Kings 5:10 And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.1 Kings 5:10
1 Kings 5:11 Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.1 Kings 5:11
1 Kings 5:12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.1 Kings 5:12
1 Kings 5:13 And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.1 Kings 5:13
1 Kings 5:14 And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.1 Kings 5:14
1 Kings 5:15 And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,1 Kings 5:15
1 Kings 5:16 aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.1 Kings 5:16
1 Kings 5:17 And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.1 Kings 5:17
1 Kings 5:18 And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.1 Kings 5:18
1 Kings 6:1 Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.1 Kings 6:1
1 Kings 6:2 Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.1 Kings 6:2
1 Kings 6:3 And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.1 Kings 6:3
1 Kings 6:4 And he made oblique windows in the temple.1 Kings 6:4
1 Kings 6:5 And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.1 Kings 6:5
1 Kings 6:6 The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.1 Kings 6:6
1 Kings 6:7 Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.1 Kings 6:7
1 Kings 6:8 The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.1 Kings 6:8
1 Kings 6:9 And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.1 Kings 6:9
1 Kings 6:10 And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.1 Kings 6:10
1 Kings 6:11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:1 Kings 6:11
1 Kings 6:12 “Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.1 Kings 6:12
1 Kings 6:13 And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”1 Kings 6:13
1 Kings 6:14 And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.1 Kings 6:14
1 Kings 6:15 And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.1 Kings 6:15
1 Kings 6:16 And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.1 Kings 6:16
1 Kings 6:17 And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.1 Kings 6:17
1 Kings 6:18 And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.1 Kings 6:18
1 Kings 6:19 Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.1 Kings 6:19
1 Kings 6:20 And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.1 Kings 6:20
1 Kings 6:21 Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.1 Kings 6:21
1 Kings 6:22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.1 Kings 6:22
1 Kings 6:23 And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.1 Kings 6:23
1 Kings 6:24 One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.1 Kings 6:24
1 Kings 6:25 Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,1 Kings 6:25
1 Kings 6:26 that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.1 Kings 6:26
1 Kings 6:27 And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.1 Kings 6:27
1 Kings 6:28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.1 Kings 6:28
1 Kings 6:29 And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.1 Kings 6:29
1 Kings 6:30 Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.1 Kings 6:30
1 Kings 6:31 And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.1 Kings 6:31
1 Kings 6:32 And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.1 Kings 6:32
1 Kings 6:33 And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,1 Kings 6:33
1 Kings 6:34 and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.1 Kings 6:34
1 Kings 6:35 And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.1 Kings 6:35
1 Kings 6:36 And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.1 Kings 6:36
1 Kings 6:37 In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.1 Kings 6:37
1 Kings 6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.1 Kings 6:38
1 Kings 7:1 Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.1 Kings 7:1
1 Kings 7:2 And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.1 Kings 7:2
1 Kings 7:3 And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,1 Kings 7:3
1 Kings 7:4 each positioned opposite another,1 Kings 7:4
1 Kings 7:5 and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.1 Kings 7:5
1 Kings 7:6 And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.1 Kings 7:6
1 Kings 7:7 He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.1 Kings 7:7
1 Kings 7:8 And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.1 Kings 7:8
1 Kings 7:9 All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.1 Kings 7:9
1 Kings 7:10 Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.1 Kings 7:10
1 Kings 7:11 And above these, there were precious stones, of equal measure, which had been cut in a manner similar to boards of cedar.1 Kings 7:11
1 Kings 7:12 And the great atrium was round, with three rows of cut stones and one row of cut cedar, even as it also was in the interior atrium of the house of the Lord, and in the portico of the house.1 Kings 7:12
1 Kings 7:13 And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,1 Kings 7:13
1 Kings 7:14 the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.1 Kings 7:14
1 Kings 7:15 And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.1 Kings 7:15
1 Kings 7:16 Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.1 Kings 7:16
1 Kings 7:17 And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.1 Kings 7:17
1 Kings 7:18 And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network, so that these covered the heads, which were at the top, with pomegranates. And he did in like manner to the second head.1 Kings 7:18
1 Kings 7:19 Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.1 Kings 7:19
1 Kings 7:20 And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.1 Kings 7:20
1 Kings 7:21 And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.1 Kings 7:21
1 Kings 7:22 And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.1 Kings 7:22
1 Kings 7:23 He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.1 Kings 7:23
1 Kings 7:24 And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.1 Kings 7:24
1 Kings 7:25 And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.1 Kings 7:25
1 Kings 7:26 And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.1 Kings 7:26
1 Kings 7:27 And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.1 Kings 7:27
1 Kings 7:28 And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.1 Kings 7:28
1 Kings 7:29 And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.1 Kings 7:29
1 Kings 7:30 And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.1 Kings 7:30
1 Kings 7:31 Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.1 Kings 7:31
1 Kings 7:32 And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined to one another under the base. The height of one wheel held one cubit and a half.1 Kings 7:32
1 Kings 7:33 Now these were the kind of wheels such as are often made for a chariot. And their axels, and spokes, and tires, and centers were all cast.1 Kings 7:33
1 Kings 7:34 And the four little arms, which were at each corner of a base, were cast and joined together as part of the base itself.1 Kings 7:34
1 Kings 7:35 And at the summit of the base, there was a round stand of one half cubit, fabricated so that the basin could be placed upon it, having its engravings, and various sculptures of its own.1 Kings 7:35
1 Kings 7:36 He also engraved those plates, which were of brass. And at the corners were cherubim, and lions, and palm trees, standing out, as if in the likeness of a man, so that they seemed not to be engraved, but placed adjacent on all sides.1 Kings 7:36
1 Kings 7:37 In this manner, he made ten bases with the same casting and measure, and very similar engravings.1 Kings 7:37
1 Kings 7:38 He also made ten hand basins of brass. One hand basin contained four baths, and was of four cubits. And each basin he set upon a base, which is ten bases.1 Kings 7:38
1 Kings 7:39 And he stationed the ten bases, five to the right side of the temple, and five to the left. And the sea he placed to the right side of the temple, opposite the east, toward the south.1 Kings 7:39
1 Kings 7:40 Then Hiram made cooking pots, and trays, and small hooks. And he completed all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord:1 Kings 7:40
1 Kings 7:41 the two columns, and the two cords of the heads over the tops of the columns, and the two networks which covered the two cords that were above the tops of the columns;1 Kings 7:41
1 Kings 7:42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;1 Kings 7:42
1 Kings 7:43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;1 Kings 7:43
1 Kings 7:44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;1 Kings 7:44
1 Kings 7:45 and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.1 Kings 7:45
1 Kings 7:46 In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.1 Kings 7:46
1 Kings 7:47 And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.1 Kings 7:47
1 Kings 7:48 And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;1 Kings 7:48
1 Kings 7:49 and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;1 Kings 7:49
1 Kings 7:50 and waters pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.1 Kings 7:50
1 Kings 7:51 And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.1 Kings 7:51
1 Kings 8:1 Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from Zion.1 Kings 8:1
1 Kings 8:2 And all of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.1 Kings 8:2
1 Kings 8:3 And all the elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.1 Kings 8:3
1 Kings 8:4 And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.1 Kings 8:4
1 Kings 8:5 Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.1 Kings 8:5
1 Kings 8:6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.1 Kings 8:6
1 Kings 8:7 For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.1 Kings 8:7
1 Kings 8:8 And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.1 Kings 8:8
1 Kings 8:9 Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.1 Kings 8:9
1 Kings 8:10 Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.1 Kings 8:10
1 Kings 8:11 And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.1 Kings 8:11
1 Kings 8:12 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.1 Kings 8:12
1 Kings 8:13 Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”1 Kings 8:13
1 Kings 8:14 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.1 Kings 8:14
1 Kings 8:15 And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, saying:1 Kings 8:15
1 Kings 8:16 ‘From the day when I led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be over my people Israel.’1 Kings 8:16
1 Kings 8:17 And my father David wanted to build a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.1 Kings 8:17
1 Kings 8:18 But the Lord said to my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.1 Kings 8:18
1 Kings 8:19 Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to my name.’1 Kings 8:19
1 Kings 8:20 The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.1 Kings 8:20
1 Kings 8:21 And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from the land of Egypt.”1 Kings 8:21
1 Kings 8:22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.1 Kings 8:22
1 Kings 8:23 And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.1 Kings 8:23
1 Kings 8:24 You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just this day proves.1 Kings 8:24
1 Kings 8:25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’1 Kings 8:25
1 Kings 8:26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke to your servant David, my father.1 Kings 8:26
1 Kings 8:27 Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?1 Kings 8:27
1 Kings 8:28 Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day,1 Kings 8:28
1 Kings 8:29 so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.1 Kings 8:29
1 Kings 8:30 So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.1 Kings 8:30
1 Kings 8:31 But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your house,1 Kings 8:31
1 Kings 8:32 you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.1 Kings 8:32
1 Kings 8:33 And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you in this house,1 Kings 8:33
1 Kings 8:34 listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to the land, which you gave to their fathers.1 Kings 8:34
1 Kings 8:35 And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,1 Kings 8:35
1 Kings 8:36 hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.1 Kings 8:36
1 Kings 8:37 Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,1 Kings 8:37
1 Kings 8:38 or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in this house,1 Kings 8:38
1 Kings 8:39 you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of men.1 Kings 8:39
1 Kings 8:40 So may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.1 Kings 8:40
1 Kings 8:41 Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,1 Kings 8:41
1 Kings 8:42 and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,1 Kings 8:42
1 Kings 8:43 you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.1 Kings 8:43
1 Kings 8:44 And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to your name.1 Kings 8:44
1 Kings 8:45 And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.1 Kings 8:45
1 Kings 8:46 But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,1 Kings 8:46
1 Kings 8:47 and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’1 Kings 8:47
1 Kings 8:48 and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:1 Kings 8:48
1 Kings 8:49 you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.1 Kings 8:49
1 Kings 8:50 And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.1 Kings 8:50
1 Kings 8:51 For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.1 Kings 8:51
1 Kings 8:52 So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon you.1 Kings 8:52
1 Kings 8:53 For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from Egypt, O Lord God.”1 Kings 8:53
1 Kings 8:54 And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward heaven.1 Kings 8:54
1 Kings 8:55 Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:1 Kings 8:55
1 Kings 8:56 “Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.1 Kings 8:56
1 Kings 8:57 May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.1 Kings 8:57
1 Kings 8:58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded to our fathers.1 Kings 8:58
1 Kings 8:59 And may these my words, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.1 Kings 8:59
1 Kings 8:60 So may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.1 Kings 8:60
1 Kings 8:61 Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on this day.”1 Kings 8:61
1 Kings 8:62 Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.1 Kings 8:62
1 Kings 8:63 And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.1 Kings 8:63
1 Kings 8:64 On that day, the king sanctified the middle of the atrium, which was before the house of the Lord. For in that place, he offered holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of peace offerings. For the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, was too small and was not able to hold the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings.1 Kings 8:64
1 Kings 8:65 Then Solomon made, at that time, a celebratory festival, and all of Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, in the sight of the Lord our God, for seven days plus seven days, that is, fourteen days.1 Kings 8:65
1 Kings 8:66 And on the eighth day, he dismissed the people. And blessing the king, they set out for their tents, rejoicing and cheerful in heart over all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.1 Kings 8:66
1 Kings 9:1 Now it happened that, when Solomon had perfected the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had desired and had willed to do,1 Kings 9:1
1 Kings 9:2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.1 Kings 9:2
1 Kings 9:3 And the Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your petition, which you prayed before me. I have sanctified this house, which you have built, so that I may place my name there forever, and so that my eyes and my heart will be there for all days.1 Kings 9:3
1 Kings 9:4 Also, if you will walk before me, just as your father walked, in simplicity of heart and in equity, and you do all that I have instructed to you, and you keep my laws and my judgments,1 Kings 9:4
1 Kings 9:5 then I will set the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised your father David, saying: ‘A man from your stock shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.’1 Kings 9:5
1 Kings 9:6 But if you and your sons, wandering, will have turned away, not following me, and not keeping my commandments and my ceremonies, which I have proposed to you, but instead you go away, and you serve strange gods and adore them,1 Kings 9:6
1 Kings 9:7 then I will take away Israel from the face of the land, which I have given to them. And the temple, which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out from my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all the peoples.1 Kings 9:7
1 Kings 9:8 And this house will become an example: anyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and he will hiss and say, ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way to this land and to this house?’1 Kings 9:8
1 Kings 9:9 And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who led their fathers away from the land of Egypt, and they followed strange gods, and they adored them and served them. For this reason, the Lord led all this evil over them.’ ”1 Kings 9:9
1 Kings 9:10 Then, when twenty years were fulfilled, after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,1 Kings 9:10
1 Kings 9:11 Hiram, the king of Tyre, having supplied Solomon with cedar wood, and spruce wood, and gold, in accord with all that he needed, then Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.1 Kings 9:11
1 Kings 9:12 And Hiram went out of Tyre, so that he might view the towns that Solomon had given to him. And they did not please him.1 Kings 9:12
1 Kings 9:13 And he said, “Are these the cities that you have given to me, brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, even to this day.1 Kings 9:13
1 Kings 9:14 And Hiram sent to king Solomon one hundred twenty talents of gold.1 Kings 9:14
1 Kings 9:15 This is the sum of the expenses that king Solomon offered for the building of the house of the Lord, and his own house, and for Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.1 Kings 9:15
1 Kings 9:16 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, ascended and seized Gezer, and he burned it with fire. And he put to death the Canaanite who was living in the city, and he gave it as a dowry for his daughter, the wife of Solomon.1 Kings 9:16
1 Kings 9:17 Therefore, Solomon built up Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,1 Kings 9:17
1 Kings 9:18 and Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.1 Kings 9:18
1 Kings 9:19 And all the towns which belonged to him, and which were without walls, he walled, along with the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatever was pleasing to him that he might build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in the entire land of his dominion.1 Kings 9:19
1 Kings 9:20 All the people who had remained of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,1 Kings 9:20
1 Kings 9:21 their sons, who had remained in the land, namely, those whom the sons of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary, even to this day.1 Kings 9:21
1 Kings 9:22 But from the sons of Israel, Solomon did not appoint anyone at all to serve, except the men of war, and his ministers, and leaders, and commanders, and the overseers of the chariots and the horses.1 Kings 9:22
1 Kings 9:23 Now there were five hundred fifty leaders in the first place over all the works of Solomon, and they had people subject to them, and these were given orders for the appointed works.1 Kings 9:23
1 Kings 9:24 And the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her. Then he built up Millo.1 Kings 9:24
1 Kings 9:25 Also, three times each year, Solomon offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar that he had built to the Lord, and he burned incense before the Lord. And the temple was perfected.1 Kings 9:25
1 Kings 9:26 And king Solomon made a navy at Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shores of the Red Sea, in the land of Idumea.1 Kings 9:26
1 Kings 9:27 And Hiram sent his servants to that navy, the sailors and those knowledgeable about the sea, with the servants of Solomon.1 Kings 9:27
1 Kings 9:28 And when they had gone to Ophir, taking from there four hundred twenty talents of gold, they brought it to king Solomon.1 Kings 9:28
1 Kings 10:1 Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.1 Kings 10:1
1 Kings 10:2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.1 Kings 10:2
1 Kings 10:3 And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.1 Kings 10:3
1 Kings 10:4 Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,1 Kings 10:4
1 Kings 10:5 and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.1 Kings 10:5
1 Kings 10:6 And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,1 Kings 10:6
1 Kings 10:7 about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.1 Kings 10:7
1 Kings 10:8 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.1 Kings 10:8
1 Kings 10:9 Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”1 Kings 10:9
1 Kings 10:10 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.1 Kings 10:10
1 Kings 10:11 Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.1 Kings 10:11
1 Kings 10:12 And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.1 Kings 10:12
1 Kings 10:13 Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.1 Kings 10:13
1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,1 Kings 10:14
1 Kings 10:15 aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.1 Kings 10:15
1 Kings 10:16 Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.1 Kings 10:16
1 Kings 10:17 And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.1 Kings 10:17
1 Kings 10:18 Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.1 Kings 10:18
1 Kings 10:19 The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,1 Kings 10:19
1 Kings 10:20 with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.1 Kings 10:20
1 Kings 10:21 Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.1 Kings 10:21
1 Kings 10:22 For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.1 Kings 10:22
1 Kings 10:23 And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.1 Kings 10:23
1 Kings 10:24 And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.1 Kings 10:24
1 Kings 10:25 And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.1 Kings 10:25
1 Kings 10:26 And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.1 Kings 10:26
1 Kings 10:27 And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.1 Kings 10:27
1 Kings 10:28 And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.1 Kings 10:28
1 Kings 10:29 Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.1 Kings 10:29
1 Kings 11:1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.1 Kings 11:1
1 Kings 11:2 These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.1 Kings 11:2
1 Kings 11:3 And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.1 Kings 11:3
1 Kings 11:4 And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.1 Kings 11:4
1 Kings 11:5 For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.1 Kings 11:5
1 Kings 11:6 And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.1 Kings 11:6
1 Kings 11:7 Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.1 Kings 11:7
1 Kings 11:8 And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.1 Kings 11:8
1 Kings 11:9 And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,1 Kings 11:9
1 Kings 11:10 and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.1 Kings 11:10
1 Kings 11:11 And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.1 Kings 11:11
1 Kings 11:12 Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.1 Kings 11:12
1 Kings 11:13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”1 Kings 11:13
1 Kings 11:14 Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.1 Kings 11:14
1 Kings 11:15 For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.1 Kings 11:15
1 Kings 11:16 And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.1 Kings 11:16
1 Kings 11:17 Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.1 Kings 11:17
1 Kings 11:18 And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.1 Kings 11:18
1 Kings 11:19 And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.1 Kings 11:19
1 Kings 11:20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.1 Kings 11:20
1 Kings 11:21 And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”1 Kings 11:21
1 Kings 11:22 And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”1 Kings 11:22
1 Kings 11:23 Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.1 Kings 11:23
1 Kings 11:24 And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.1 Kings 11:24
1 Kings 11:25 And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.1 Kings 11:25
1 Kings 11:26 Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.1 Kings 11:26
1 Kings 11:27 And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.1 Kings 11:27
1 Kings 11:28 Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.1 Kings 11:28
1 Kings 11:29 And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing with a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.1 Kings 11:29
1 Kings 11:30 And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.1 Kings 11:30
1 Kings 11:31 And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.1 Kings 11:31
1 Kings 11:32 Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.1 Kings 11:32
1 Kings 11:33 For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.1 Kings 11:33
1 Kings 11:34 But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.1 Kings 11:34
1 Kings 11:35 But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.1 Kings 11:35
1 Kings 11:36 Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.1 Kings 11:36
1 Kings 11:37 And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.1 Kings 11:37
1 Kings 11:38 Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.1 Kings 11:38
1 Kings 11:39 And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’ ”1 Kings 11:39
1 Kings 11:40 Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.1 Kings 11:40
1 Kings 11:41 Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.1 Kings 11:41
1 Kings 11:42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.1 Kings 11:42
1 Kings 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 11:43
1 Kings 12:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem. For in that place, all of Israel had gathered to appoint him as king.1 Kings 12:1
1 Kings 12:2 Yet truly, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, while he was still in Egypt as a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned from Egypt.1 Kings 12:2
1 Kings 12:3 And they sent and called him. Therefore, Jeroboam went, with the entire multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:1 Kings 12:3
1 Kings 12:4 “Your father imposed a very harsh yoke upon us. And so, you should now take away a little from the very harsh rule of your father and from his very grievous yoke, which he imposed upon us, and we will serve you.”1 Kings 12:4
1 Kings 12:5 And he said to them, “Go away, until the third day, and then return to me.” And when the people had gone away,1 Kings 12:5
1 Kings 12:6 king Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had assisted before his father Solomon while he was still living. And he said, “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people?”1 Kings 12:6
1 Kings 12:7 They said to him, “If today you will obey and serve this people, and yield to their petition, and if you will speak lenient words to them, they will be your servants for all days.”1 Kings 12:7
1 Kings 12:8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men, which they had given to him. And he consulted the young men who had been raised with him, and who were assisting him.1 Kings 12:8
1 Kings 12:9 And he said to them: “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people, who have said to me: ‘Make light the yoke that your father imposed on us?’ ”1 Kings 12:9
1 Kings 12:10 And the young men who had been raised with him, said: “You shall speak in this way to this people, who have spoken to you, saying: ‘Your father weighed down our yoke. You should relieve us.’ You shall say this to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.1 Kings 12:10
1 Kings 12:11 And now, my father placed a heavy yoke upon you, but I will add more upon your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.’ ”1 Kings 12:11
1 Kings 12:12 Therefore, Jeroboam and all the people went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had spoken, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”1 Kings 12:12
1 Kings 12:13 And the king responded to the people harshly, leaving behind the counsel of the elders that they had given to him.1 Kings 12:13
1 Kings 12:14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: “My father weighed down your yoke, but I will add more to your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.”1 Kings 12:14
1 Kings 12:15 And the king did not acquiesce to the people. For the Lord had turned him away, so that he might raise up his word, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.1 Kings 12:15
1 Kings 12:16 And so the people, seeing that the king had not been willing to listen to them, responded to him, saying: “What part do we have in David? Or what inheritance do we have in the son of Jesse? Go to your own tents, O Israel. Now David, see to your own house.” And Israel went away to their own tents.1 Kings 12:16
1 Kings 12:17 But over all the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned.1 Kings 12:17
1 Kings 12:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute. And all of Israel stoned him, and he died. Therefore, king Rehoboam hurrying, climbed into the chariot, and fled to Jerusalem.1 Kings 12:18
1 Kings 12:19 And Israel drew away from the house of David, even to the present day.1 Kings 12:19
1 Kings 12:20 And it happened that, when all of Israel had heard that Jeroboam had returned, gathering an assembly, they sent and called him, and they appointed him as king over all of Israel. And no one followed the house of David, except the tribe of Judah alone.1 Kings 12:20
1 Kings 12:21 Then Rehoboam went to Jerusalem, and he gathered together the entire house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand elect men of war, so that they might fight against the house of Israel, and might bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.1 Kings 12:21
1 Kings 12:22 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:1 Kings 12:22
1 Kings 12:23 “Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah, and to Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:1 Kings 12:23
1 Kings 12:24 ‘Thus says the Lord: You shall not go up, and you shall not make war against your brothers, the sons of Israel. Let each man return to his own house. For this word came from me.’ ” And they listened to the word of the Lord, and they returned from the journey, as the Lord had instructed them.1 Kings 12:24
1 Kings 12:25 Then Jeroboam built up Shechem, on mount Ephraim, and he lived there. And departing from there, he built up Penuel.1 Kings 12:25
1 Kings 12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David,1 Kings 12:26
1 Kings 12:27 if this people ascend to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem. And the heart of this people will be converted to their lord Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and they will put me to death, and return to him.”1 Kings 12:27
1 Kings 12:28 And devising a plan, he made two golden calves. And he said to them: “No longer choose to ascend to Jerusalem. Behold, these are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt!”1 Kings 12:28
1 Kings 12:29 And he stationed one in Bethel, and the other in Dan.1 Kings 12:29
1 Kings 12:30 And this word became an occasion of sin. For the people went to adore the calf, even to Dan.1 Kings 12:30
1 Kings 12:31 And he made shrines on the high places, and he made priests out of the lowest people, who were not of the sons of Levi.1 Kings 12:31
1 Kings 12:32 And he appointed a solemn day in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, in imitation of the solemnity that was celebrated in Judah. And ascending to the altar, he acted similarly in Bethel, so that he immolated to the calves, which he had made. And in Bethel, he appointed priests of the high places, which he had made.1 Kings 12:32
1 Kings 12:33 And he ascended to the altar, which he had raised up in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the day that he had decided in his own heart. And he made a solemnity to the sons of Israel, and he ascended to the altar, so that he might burn incense.1 Kings 12:33
1 Kings 13:1 And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.1 Kings 13:1
1 Kings 13:2 And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’ ”1 Kings 13:2
1 Kings 13:3 And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”1 Kings 13:3
1 Kings 13:4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.1 Kings 13:4
1 Kings 13:5 Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.1 Kings 13:5
1 Kings 13:6 And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.1 Kings 13:6
1 Kings 13:7 Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”1 Kings 13:7
1 Kings 13:8 And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.1 Kings 13:8
1 Kings 13:9 For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’ ”1 Kings 13:9
1 Kings 13:10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.1 Kings 13:10
1 Kings 13:11 Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.1 Kings 13:11
1 Kings 13:12 And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.1 Kings 13:12
1 Kings 13:13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,1 Kings 13:13
1 Kings 13:14 and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”1 Kings 13:14
1 Kings 13:15 And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”1 Kings 13:15
1 Kings 13:16 But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.1 Kings 13:16
1 Kings 13:17 For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”1 Kings 13:17
1 Kings 13:18 And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’ ” And so he deceived him.1 Kings 13:18
1 Kings 13:19 And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.1 Kings 13:19
1 Kings 13:20 And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.1 Kings 13:20
1 Kings 13:21 And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,1 Kings 13:21
1 Kings 13:22 and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”1 Kings 13:22
1 Kings 13:23 And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.1 Kings 13:23
1 Kings 13:24 And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.1 Kings 13:24
1 Kings 13:25 And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.1 Kings 13:25
1 Kings 13:26 And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”1 Kings 13:26
1 Kings 13:27 And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,1 Kings 13:27
1 Kings 13:28 and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.1 Kings 13:28
1 Kings 13:29 Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.1 Kings 13:29
1 Kings 13:30 And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”1 Kings 13:30
1 Kings 13:31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.1 Kings 13:31
1 Kings 13:32 For certainly, the word will arrived, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”1 Kings 13:32
1 Kings 13:33 After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.1 Kings 13:33
1 Kings 13:34 And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.1 Kings 13:34
1 Kings 14:1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.1 Kings 14:1
1 Kings 14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.1 Kings 14:2
1 Kings 14:3 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”1 Kings 14:3
1 Kings 14:4 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.1 Kings 14:4
1 Kings 14:5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,1 Kings 14:5
1 Kings 14:6 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.1 Kings 14:6
1 Kings 14:7 Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,1 Kings 14:7
1 Kings 14:8 and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.1 Kings 14:8
1 Kings 14:9 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.1 Kings 14:9
1 Kings 14:10 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.1 Kings 14:10
1 Kings 14:11 Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’1 Kings 14:11
1 Kings 14:12 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.1 Kings 14:12
1 Kings 14:13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.1 Kings 14:13
1 Kings 14:14 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.1 Kings 14:14
1 Kings 14:15 And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.1 Kings 14:15
1 Kings 14:16 And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”1 Kings 14:16
1 Kings 14:17 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.1 Kings 14:17
1 Kings 14:18 And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.1 Kings 14:18
1 Kings 14:19 Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.1 Kings 14:19
1 Kings 14:20 And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 14:20
1 Kings 14:21 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.1 Kings 14:21
1 Kings 14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.1 Kings 14:22
1 Kings 14:23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.1 Kings 14:23
1 Kings 14:24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.1 Kings 14:24
1 Kings 14:25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.1 Kings 14:25
1 Kings 14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.1 Kings 14:26
1 Kings 14:27 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.1 Kings 14:27
1 Kings 14:28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.1 Kings 14:28
1 Kings 14:29 Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.1 Kings 14:29
1 Kings 14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.1 Kings 14:30
1 Kings 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.1 Kings 14:31
1 Kings 15:1 Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.1 Kings 15:1
1 Kings 15:2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.1 Kings 15:2
1 Kings 15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.1 Kings 15:3
1 Kings 15:4 But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.1 Kings 15:4
1 Kings 15:5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.1 Kings 15:5
1 Kings 15:6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his life.1 Kings 15:6
1 Kings 15:7 And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting between Abijam and Jeroboam.1 Kings 15:7
1 Kings 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 15:8
1 Kings 15:9 Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.1 Kings 15:9
1 Kings 15:10 And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.1 Kings 15:10
1 Kings 15:11 And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.1 Kings 15:11
1 Kings 15:12 And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.1 Kings 15:12
1 Kings 15:13 Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.1 Kings 15:13
1 Kings 15:14 But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.1 Kings 15:14
1 Kings 15:15 And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.1 Kings 15:15
1 Kings 15:16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.1 Kings 15:16
1 Kings 15:17 And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the king of Judah.1 Kings 15:17
1 Kings 15:18 And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:1 Kings 15:18
1 Kings 15:19 “There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me.”1 Kings 15:19
1 Kings 15:20 Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.1 Kings 15:20
1 Kings 15:21 And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned to Tirzah.1 Kings 15:21
1 Kings 15:22 Then king Asa sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.1 Kings 15:22
1 Kings 15:23 Now all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted in his feet.1 Kings 15:23
1 Kings 15:24 And he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 15:24
1 Kings 15:25 Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.1 Kings 15:25
1 Kings 15:26 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.1 Kings 15:26
1 Kings 15:27 Then Baasha, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.1 Kings 15:27
1 Kings 15:28 And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he reigned in his place.1 Kings 15:28
1 Kings 15:29 And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite,1 Kings 15:29
1 Kings 15:30 because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.1 Kings 15:30
1 Kings 15:31 But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 15:31
1 Kings 15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.1 Kings 15:32
1 Kings 15:33 In the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for twenty-four years.1 Kings 15:33
1 Kings 15:34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.1 Kings 15:34
1 Kings 16:1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:1 Kings 16:1
1 Kings 16:2 “Even though I exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me by their sins.1 Kings 16:2
1 Kings 16:3 Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.1 Kings 16:3
1 Kings 16:4 Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”1 Kings 16:4
1 Kings 16:5 Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:5
1 Kings 16:6 Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 16:6
1 Kings 16:7 And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.1 Kings 16:7
1 Kings 16:8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for two years.1 Kings 16:8
1 Kings 16:9 And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.1 Kings 16:9
1 Kings 16:10 Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned in his place.1 Kings 16:10
1 Kings 16:11 And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.1 Kings 16:11
1 Kings 16:12 And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,1 Kings 16:12
1 Kings 16:13 because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.1 Kings 16:13
1 Kings 16:14 But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:14
1 Kings 16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines.1 Kings 16:15
1 Kings 16:16 And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.1 Kings 16:16
1 Kings 16:17 Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.1 Kings 16:17
1 Kings 16:18 Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And he died1 Kings 16:18
1 Kings 16:19 in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.1 Kings 16:19
1 Kings 16:20 But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:20
1 Kings 16:21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed Omri.1 Kings 16:21
1 Kings 16:22 But the people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.1 Kings 16:22
1 Kings 16:23 In the thirty-first year of Asa, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at Tirzah.1 Kings 16:23
1 Kings 16:24 And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.1 Kings 16:24
1 Kings 16:25 But Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been before him.1 Kings 16:25
1 Kings 16:26 And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.1 Kings 16:26
1 Kings 16:27 Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:27
1 Kings 16:28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 16:28
1 Kings 16:29 Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.1 Kings 16:29
1 Kings 16:30 And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been before him.1 Kings 16:30
1 Kings 16:31 And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.1 Kings 16:31
1 Kings 16:32 And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.1 Kings 16:32
1 Kings 16:33 And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been before him.1 Kings 16:33
1 Kings 16:34 In his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.1 Kings 16:34
1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, from the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord lives, the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew or rain during these years, except by the words of my mouth.”1 Kings 17:1
1 Kings 17:2 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:1 Kings 17:2
1 Kings 17:3 “Withdraw from here, and go toward the east, and hide at the torrent Cherith, which is opposite the Jordan.1 Kings 17:3
1 Kings 17:4 And there you shall drink from the torrent. And I have instructed the ravens to feed you there.”1 Kings 17:4
1 Kings 17:5 Therefore, he went and acted in accord with the word of the Lord. And going away, he settled by the torrent Cherith, which is opposite the Jordan.1 Kings 17:5
1 Kings 17:6 And the ravens carried bread and flesh to him in the morning, and likewise bread and flesh in the evening. And he drank from the torrent.1 Kings 17:6
1 Kings 17:7 But after some days, the torrent dried up. For it had not rained upon the earth.1 Kings 17:7
1 Kings 17:8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:1 Kings 17:8
1 Kings 17:9 “Rise up, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonians, and dwell there. For I have instructed a widowed woman there to feed you.”1 Kings 17:9
1 Kings 17:10 He rose up and went away to Zarephath. And when he had arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the widowed woman collecting wood, and he called to her. And he said to her, “Give me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.”1 Kings 17:10
1 Kings 17:11 And as she was going to bring it, he called out after her, saying, “Bring me also, I beg you, a morsel of bread in your hand.”1 Kings 17:11
1 Kings 17:12 And she responded: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”1 Kings 17:12
1 Kings 17:13 And Elijah said to her: “Do not be afraid. But go and do as you have said. Yet truly, first make for me, from the same flour, a little bread baked under ashes, and bring it to me. Then afterward, make some for yourself and for your son.1 Kings 17:13
1 Kings 17:14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not fail, nor the bottle of oil be diminished, until the day when the Lord will grant rain upon the face of the earth.’ ”1 Kings 17:14
1 Kings 17:15 She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,1 Kings 17:15
1 Kings 17:16 the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.1 Kings 17:16
1 Kings 17:17 Now it happened that, after these things, the son of the woman who was the mother of the family became ill. And the sickness was very powerful, so that no breath remained in him.1 Kings 17:17
1 Kings 17:18 Therefore, she said to Elijah: “What is there between you and me, O man of God? Have you entered to me, so that my iniquities would be remembered, and so that you would put to death my son?”1 Kings 17:18
1 Kings 17:19 And Elijah said to her, “Give your son to me.” And he took him from her bosom, and he carried him to an upper room, where he himself was staying. And he placed him on his own bed.1 Kings 17:19
1 Kings 17:20 And he cried out to the Lord, and he said, “O Lord, my God, have you even afflicted the widow by whom I am, in a sense, sustained, so that you would put to death her son?”1 Kings 17:20
1 Kings 17:21 And he stretched himself out beside the boy three times. And he cried out to the Lord and said, “O Lord, my God, let the soul of this boy, I beg you, return to his body.”1 Kings 17:21
1 Kings 17:22 And the Lord heeded the voice of Elijah. And the soul of the boy returned to him, and he revived.1 Kings 17:22
1 Kings 17:23 And Elijah took the boy, and he brought him down from the upper room to the lower part of the house. And he gave him to his mother. And he said to her, “See, your son lives.”1 Kings 17:23
1 Kings 17:24 And the woman said to Elijah: “By this, I now realize that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.”1 Kings 17:24
1 Kings 18:1 After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go and show yourself to Ahab, so that I may grant rain upon the face of the earth.”1 Kings 18:1
1 Kings 18:2 Therefore, Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. For there was a severe famine in Samaria.1 Kings 18:2
1 Kings 18:3 And Ahab called Obadiah, the manager of his household. Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly.1 Kings 18:3
1 Kings 18:4 For when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord, he took one hundred prophets, and concealed them, fifty and fifty, in caves. And he fed them with bread and water.1 Kings 18:4
1 Kings 18:5 Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all the valleys, for perhaps we will be able to find plants, and save the horses and mules, so that the beasts of burden may not perish entirely.”1 Kings 18:5
1 Kings 18:6 And they divided the regions among themselves, so that they might travel through them. Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way by himself.1 Kings 18:6
1 Kings 18:7 And while Obadiah was on the way, Elijah met him. And when he had recognized him, he fell on his face, and he said, “Are you not my lord Elijah?”1 Kings 18:7
1 Kings 18:8 And he responded to him: “I am. Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.”1 Kings 18:8
1 Kings 18:9 And he said: “How have I sinned that you would deliver me, your servant, into the hand of Ahab, so that he would put me to death?1 Kings 18:9
1 Kings 18:10 As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom to which my lord has not sent, seeking you. And when all responded, ‘He is not here,’ he swore each kingdom and nation to an oath, because you were not found at all.1 Kings 18:10
1 Kings 18:11 And now, you say to me, ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.’1 Kings 18:11
1 Kings 18:12 And when I will have departed from you, the Spirit of the Lord will transport you to a place that I do not know. And entering, I will report to Ahab. And he, not finding you, will put me to death. Yet your servant has feared the Lord from his infancy.1 Kings 18:12
1 Kings 18:13 Has it not been revealed to you, my lord, what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord: how I hid one hundred men from the prophets of the Lord, fifty and fifty, in caves, and how I fed them with bread and water?1 Kings 18:13
1 Kings 18:14 And now you say: ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here,’ so that he may kill me!”1 Kings 18:14
1 Kings 18:15 And Elijah said, “As the Lord of hosts lives, before whose face I stand, this day I will appear to him.”1 Kings 18:15
1 Kings 18:16 Therefore, Obadiah went away to meet Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.1 Kings 18:16
1 Kings 18:17 And when he had seen him, he said, “Are you the one who is disturbing Israel?”1 Kings 18:17
1 Kings 18:18 And he said: “I have not troubled Israel. But it is you, and the house of your father, who have abandoned the commandments of the Lord, and have followed the Baals.1 Kings 18:18
1 Kings 18:19 Yet truly now, send and gather to me all of Israel, on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the sacred groves, who eat from the table of Jezebel.”1 Kings 18:19
1 Kings 18:20 Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets on mount Carmel.1 Kings 18:20
1 Kings 18:21 Then Elijah, drawing near to all the people, said: “How long will you waver between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is, then follow him.” And the people did not respond a word to him.1 Kings 18:21
1 Kings 18:22 And Elijah said again to the people: “I alone remain as a prophet of the Lord. But the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.1 Kings 18:22
1 Kings 18:23 Let two oxen be given to us. And let them choose one ox for themselves, and, cutting it into pieces, let them set it on the wood. But they may not place fire under it. And I will prepare the other ox, and set it on the wood. But I will not place fire under it.1 Kings 18:23
1 Kings 18:24 Call upon the names of your gods. And I will call on the name of my Lord. And the God who will have heeded with fire, let him be God.” And in response, all the people said, “Excellent proposition.”1 Kings 18:24
1 Kings 18:25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal: “Choose for yourselves one ox, and prepare it first. For you are many. And call on the names of your gods, but do not place fire under it.”1 Kings 18:25
1 Kings 18:26 And when they had taken an ox, which he had given to them, they prepared it. And they called on the name of Baal, from morning even until midday, saying, “O Baal, heed us.” And there was no voice, nor did anyone respond. And so they leaped upon the altar that they had made.1 Kings 18:26
1 Kings 18:27 And when it was now midday, Elijah ridiculed them, saying: “Cry out with a louder voice. For he is a god, and perhaps he is talking, or at an inn, or on a journey, or certainly he may be asleep, and must be awakened.”1 Kings 18:27
1 Kings 18:28 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and they cut themselves, in accord with their ritual, with knives and lancets, until they were entirely covered in blood.1 Kings 18:28
1 Kings 18:29 Then, after midday had passed, and they were prophesying, the time had arrived when the sacrifice is usually offered. And there was no voice heard, neither did anyone heed or respond to the praying.1 Kings 18:29
1 Kings 18:30 Elijah said to all the people, “Draw near to me.” And as the people were drawing near to him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.1 Kings 18:30
1 Kings 18:31 And he took twelve stones, in accord with the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”1 Kings 18:31
1 Kings 18:32 And he built from the stones an altar to the name of the Lord. And he made a trench for water, like two furrows of plowed land, all around the altar.1 Kings 18:32
1 Kings 18:33 And he arranged the wood, and he cut the ox into pieces, and he placed it on the wood.1 Kings 18:33
1 Kings 18:34 And he said, “Fill four containers with water, and pour it over the holocaust, and over the wood.” And again, he said, “Do this a second time.” And when they had done it a second time, he said, “Do it also a third time.” And they did so a third time.1 Kings 18:34
1 Kings 18:35 And the water was running down around the altar, and the pit of the trench was filled with water.1 Kings 18:35
1 Kings 18:36 And when it was now time for the holocaust to be offered, the prophet Elijah, drawing near, said: “O Lord, God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, reveal this day that you are the God of Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have acted, in all these things, in accord with your precept.1 Kings 18:36
1 Kings 18:37 Heed me, O Lord, heed me, so that this people may learn that you are the Lord God, and that you have converted their heart again.”1 Kings 18:37
1 Kings 18:38 Then the fire of the Lord fell down and devoured the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and even the dust, and it absorbed the water that was in the trench.1 Kings 18:38
1 Kings 18:39 And when all the people had seen it, they fell upon their face, and they said: “The Lord himself is God! The Lord himself is God!”1 Kings 18:39
1 Kings 18:40 And Elijah said to them, “Apprehend the prophets of Baal, and do not let even one of them escape.” And when they had apprehended them, Elijah led them down to the torrent Kishon, and he put them to death there.1 Kings 18:40
1 Kings 18:41 And Elijah said to Ahab “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”1 Kings 18:41
1 Kings 18:42 Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees.1 Kings 18:42
1 Kings 18:43 And he said to his servant, “Ascend, and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, he said, “There is nothing.” And again, he said to him, “Return seven times.”1 Kings 18:43
1 Kings 18:44 And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. And he said: “Ascend, and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’ ”1 Kings 18:44
1 Kings 18:45 And as he was turning himself this way and that, behold, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel.1 Kings 18:45
1 Kings 18:46 And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.1 Kings 18:46
1 Kings 19:1 Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.1 Kings 19:1
1 Kings 19:2 And so Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods to these things, and may they add these other things, if by this hour tomorrow I will not have made your life like the life of one of them.”1 Kings 19:2
1 Kings 19:3 Therefore, Elijah was afraid. And rising up, he went away to wherever his will would carry him. And he arrived in Beersheba of Judah. And he dismissed his servant there.1 Kings 19:3
1 Kings 19:4 And he continued on, into the desert, for one day’s journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: “It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. For I am no better than my fathers.”1 Kings 19:4
1 Kings 19:5 And he stretched himself out, and he slept deeply in the shadow of the juniper tree. And behold, an Angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him, “Rise up and eat.”1 Kings 19:5
1 Kings 19:6 He looked, and behold, at his head was bread baked under ashes, and a container of water. Then he ate and drank, and again he slept deeply.1 Kings 19:6
1 Kings 19:7 And the Angel of the Lord returned a second time, and touched him, and said to him: “Rise up, eat. For a great journey again stands before you.”1 Kings 19:7
1 Kings 19:8 And he when he had risen up, he ate and drank. And he walked by the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God, Horeb.1 Kings 19:8
1 Kings 19:9 And when he had arrived there, he stayed in a cave. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”1 Kings 19:9
1 Kings 19:10 And he responded: “I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”1 Kings 19:10
1 Kings 19:11 And he said to him, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake.1 Kings 19:11
1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze.1 Kings 19:12
1 Kings 19:13 And when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there was a voice to him, saying: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” And he responded:1 Kings 19:13
1 Kings 19:14 “I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”1 Kings 19:14
1 Kings 19:15 And the Lord said to him: “Go, and return on your way, through the desert, to Damascus. And when you have arrived there, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Syria.1 Kings 19:15
1 Kings 19:16 And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, as king over Israel. But Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who is from Abelmeholah, you shall anoint to be a prophet in your place.1 Kings 19:16
1 Kings 19:17 And this shall be: whoever will have escaped from the sword of Hazael, will be slain by Jehu. And whoever will have escaped from the sword of Jehu, will be put to death by Elisha.1 Kings 19:17
1 Kings 19:18 And I will leave for myself seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bent before Baal, and every mouth that has not adored him, kissing hands.”1 Kings 19:18
1 Kings 19:19 Therefore, Elijah, setting out from there, found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. And he himself was one of those who were plowing with the twelve yoke of oxen. And when Elijah had gone to him, he cast his mantle over him.1 Kings 19:19
1 Kings 19:20 And immediately, leaving behind the oxen, he ran after Elijah. And he said, “I beg you to let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him: “Go, and turn back. For what was mine to do, I have done concerning you.”1 Kings 19:20
1 Kings 19:21 Then, turning back from him, he took a pair of oxen, and he slew them. And he cooked the flesh with the plow of the oxen. And he gave it to the people, and they ate. And rising up, he went and followed Elijah, and he ministered to him.1 Kings 19:21
1 Kings 20:1 Then Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army. And there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. And ascending, he fought against Samaria, and he besieged it.1 Kings 20:1
1 Kings 20:2 And sending messengers into the city, to Ahab, the king of Israel,1 Kings 20:2
1 Kings 20:3 he said: “Thus says Benhadad: Your silver and your gold is mine. And your wives and your best sons are mine.”1 Kings 20:3
1 Kings 20:4 And the king of Israel responded, “In agreement with your word, my lord the king, I am yours, with all that is mine.”1 Kings 20:4
1 Kings 20:5 And the messengers, returning, said: “Thus says Benhadad, who sent us to you: Your silver and your gold, and your wives and your sons, you shall give to me.1 Kings 20:5
1 Kings 20:6 Therefore, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. And all that pleases them, they will put in their hands and take away.”1 Kings 20:6
1 Kings 20:7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and he said: “Let your souls take heed, and see that he commits treachery against us. For he sent to me for my wives and sons, and for silver and gold. And I did not refuse.”1 Kings 20:7
1 Kings 20:8 And all those greater by birth, with all the people, said to him, “You should neither listen, nor acquiesce to him.”1 Kings 20:8
1 Kings 20:9 And so, he responded to the messengers of Benhadad: “Tell my lord the king: Everything about which you sent to me in the beginning, I your servant will do. But this thing, I am not able to do.”1 Kings 20:9
1 Kings 20:10 And returning, the messengers took this to him, and he sent again and said, “May the gods do these things to me, and may they add these other things, if the dust of Samaria is enough to fill the hands of all the people who follow me.”1 Kings 20:10
1 Kings 20:11 And responding, the king of Israel said, “Tell him that one who is girded should not boast the same as one who is ungirded.”1 Kings 20:11
1 Kings 20:12 Then it happened that, when Benhadad had heard this word, he and the kings were drinking in a pavilion. And he said to his servants, “Encircle the city.” And they encircled it.1 Kings 20:12
1 Kings 20:13 And behold, one prophet, drawing near to Ahab, the king of Israel, said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Certainly, you have seen this entire exceedingly great multitude? Behold, I will deliver them into your hand today, so that you may know that I am the Lord.”1 Kings 20:13
1 Kings 20:14 And Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: By the footmen of the leaders of the provinces.” And he said, “Who should begin to do battle?” And he said, “You should.”1 Kings 20:14
1 Kings 20:15 Therefore, he took a count of the servants of the leaders of the provinces. And he found the number to be two hundred thirty-two. And he set them in order after the people, all the sons of Israel, who were seven thousand.1 Kings 20:15
1 Kings 20:16 And they went out at midday. But Benhadad was drinking; he was inebriated in his pavilion, and the thirty-two kings with him, who had arrived in order to assist him.1 Kings 20:16
1 Kings 20:17 Then the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out to the first place, at the front. And so, Benhadad sent, and they reported to him, saying: “Men have gone out from Samaria.”1 Kings 20:17
1 Kings 20:18 And he said: “If they have arrived for peace, apprehend them alive; if to do battle, capture them alive.”1 Kings 20:18
1 Kings 20:19 Therefore, the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out, and the remainder of the army was following.1 Kings 20:19
1 Kings 20:20 And each one struck down the man who came against him. And the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Also, Benhadad, the king of Syria, fled on a horse, with his horsemen.1 Kings 20:20
1 Kings 20:21 But the king of Israel, going out, struck the horses and the chariots, and he struck the Syrians with a great slaughter.1 Kings 20:21
1 Kings 20:22 Then a prophet, drawing near to the king of Israel, said to him: “Go and be strengthened. And know and see what you are doing. For in the following year, the king of Syria will rise up against you.”1 Kings 20:22
1 Kings 20:23 Then truly, the servants of the king of Syria said to him: “Their gods are the gods of the mountains; because of this, they have overwhelmed us. But it is better that we fight against them in the plains, and then we will prevail over them.1 Kings 20:23
1 Kings 20:24 Therefore, you should do this word: Remove each of the kings from your army, and set commanders in their place.1 Kings 20:24
1 Kings 20:25 And replace the number of soldiers who have been cut down of yours, and the horses, in accord with the earlier number of horses, and the chariots, in accord with the number of chariots that you had before. And we will fight against them in the plains, and you will see that we will prevail over them.” And he trusted in their counsel, and he did so.1 Kings 20:25
1 Kings 20:26 Therefore, after the passing of the year, Benhadad took a count of the Syrians, and he ascended to Aphek, so that he might fight against Israel.1 Kings 20:26
1 Kings 20:27 Then the sons of Israel were numbered, and taking provisions, they set out to the opposite side. And they stretched out the camp facing them, like two little flocks of goats. But the Syrians filled the land.1 Kings 20:27
1 Kings 20:28 And one man of God, drawing near, said to the king of Israel: “Thus says the Lord: Because the Syrians have said, ‘The Lord is the God of the mountains, but he is not the God of the valleys,’ I will deliver this entire great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”1 Kings 20:28
1 Kings 20:29 And for seven days, both sides arranged each of their battle lines. Then, on the seventh day, the war was undertaken. And the sons of Israel struck down, from the Syrians, one hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.1 Kings 20:29
1 Kings 20:30 Then those who had remained fled to Aphek, into the city. And the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men of those who had remained. Then Benhadad, fleeing, entered the city, into a room that was inside another room.1 Kings 20:30
1 Kings 20:31 And his servants said to him: “Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel show clemency. And so, let us put sackcloth around our waists, and ropes on our heads, and let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will save our lives.”1 Kings 20:31
1 Kings 20:32 So they wrapped sackcloth around their waists, and they placed ropes on their heads. And they went to the king of Israel, and they said to him: “Your servant, Benhadad, says: ‘I beg you to let my soul live.’ ” And he replied, “If he is still alive, he is my brother.”1 Kings 20:32
1 Kings 20:33 The men accepted this as a good sign. And hastily, they took up the word from his mouth, and they said, “Benhadad is your brother.” And he said to them, “Go, and bring him to me.” Therefore, Benhadad went out to him, and he lifted him onto his chariot.1 Kings 20:33
1 Kings 20:34 And he said to him: “The cities that my father took from your father, I will return. And you may make streets for yourself in Damascus, just as my father made in Samaria. And after we have made a pact, I will withdraw from you.” Therefore, he formed a pact with him, and he released him.1 Kings 20:34
1 Kings 20:35 Then a certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his associate, by the word of the Lord, “Strike me.” But he was not willing to strike.1 Kings 20:35
1 Kings 20:36 And he said to him: “Because you were not willing to heed the voice of the Lord, behold, you will depart from me, and a lion will slay you. And when he had departed a short distance from him, a lion found him, and slew him.1 Kings 20:36
1 Kings 20:37 But upon finding another man, he said to him, “Strike me.” And he struck him, and wounded him.1 Kings 20:37
1 Kings 20:38 Then the prophet departed. And he met the king along the way, and he changed his appearance by sprinkling dust around his mouth and eyes.1 Kings 20:38
1 Kings 20:39 And when the king had passed by, he cried out to the king, and he said: “Your servant went out to do battle in close quarters. And when one man had fled, a certain person brought him to me, and he said: ‘Guard this man. For if he slips away, your life will take the place of his life, or you will weigh out one talent of silver.’1 Kings 20:39
1 Kings 20:40 And while I was distracted, turning one way and another, suddenly, he was not to be seen.” And the king of Israel said to him, “This is your judgment, that which you yourself have decreed.”1 Kings 20:40
1 Kings 20:41 Then immediately, he wiped away the dust from his face, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.1 Kings 20:41
1 Kings 20:42 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you have released from your hand a man worthy of death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people will take the place of his people.”1 Kings 20:42
1 Kings 20:43 And so the king of Israel returned to his house, unwilling to listen, and a fury entered into Samaria.1 Kings 20:43
1 Kings 21:1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.1 Kings 21:1
1 Kings 21:2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”1 Kings 21:2
1 Kings 21:3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”1 Kings 21:3
1 Kings 21:4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.1 Kings 21:4
1 Kings 21:5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”1 Kings 21:5
1 Kings 21:6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’ ”1 Kings 21:6
1 Kings 21:7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”1 Kings 21:7
1 Kings 21:8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.1 Kings 21:8
1 Kings 21:9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.1 Kings 21:9
1 Kings 21:10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”1 Kings 21:10
1 Kings 21:11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.1 Kings 21:11
1 Kings 21:12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.1 Kings 21:12
1 Kings 21:13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.1 Kings 21:13
1 Kings 21:14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”1 Kings 21:14
1 Kings 21:15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”1 Kings 21:15
1 Kings 21:16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.1 Kings 21:16
1 Kings 21:17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:1 Kings 21:17
1 Kings 21:18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.1 Kings 21:18
1 Kings 21:19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’ ”1 Kings 21:19
1 Kings 21:20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:1 Kings 21:20
1 Kings 21:21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.1 Kings 21:21
1 Kings 21:22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’1 Kings 21:22
1 Kings 21:23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.1 Kings 21:23
1 Kings 21:24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’ ”1 Kings 21:24
1 Kings 21:25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.1 Kings 21:25
1 Kings 21:26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.1 Kings 21:26
1 Kings 21:27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.1 Kings 21:27
1 Kings 21:28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:1 Kings 21:28
1 Kings 21:29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”1 Kings 21:29
1 Kings 22:1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.1 Kings 22:1
1 Kings 22:2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.1 Kings 22:2
1 Kings 22:3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”1 Kings 22:3
1 Kings 22:4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”1 Kings 22:4
1 Kings 22:5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”1 Kings 22:5
1 Kings 22:6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”1 Kings 22:6
1 Kings 22:7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”1 Kings 22:7
1 Kings 22:8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”1 Kings 22:8
1 Kings 22:9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”1 Kings 22:9
1 Kings 22:10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.1 Kings 22:10
1 Kings 22:11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”1 Kings 22:11
1 Kings 22:12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”1 Kings 22:12
1 Kings 22:13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”1 Kings 22:13
1 Kings 22:14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”1 Kings 22:14
1 Kings 22:15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”1 Kings 22:15
1 Kings 22:16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”1 Kings 22:16
1 Kings 22:17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’ ”1 Kings 22:17
1 Kings 22:18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”1 Kings 22:18
1 Kings 22:19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.1 Kings 22:19
1 Kings 22:20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.1 Kings 22:20
1 Kings 22:21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’1 Kings 22:21
1 Kings 22:22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’1 Kings 22:22
1 Kings 22:23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”1 Kings 22:23
1 Kings 22:24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”1 Kings 22:24
1 Kings 22:25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”1 Kings 22:25
1 Kings 22:26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.1 Kings 22:26
1 Kings 22:27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’ ”1 Kings 22:27
1 Kings 22:28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”1 Kings 22:28
1 Kings 22:29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.1 Kings 22:29
1 Kings 22:30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.1 Kings 22:30
1 Kings 22:31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”1 Kings 22:31
1 Kings 22:32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.1 Kings 22:32
1 Kings 22:33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.1 Kings 22:33
1 Kings 22:34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”1 Kings 22:34
1 Kings 22:35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.1 Kings 22:35
1 Kings 22:36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”1 Kings 22:36
1 Kings 22:37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.1 Kings 22:37
1 Kings 22:38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.1 Kings 22:38
1 Kings 22:39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 22:39
1 Kings 22:40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 22:40
1 Kings 22:41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.1 Kings 22:41
1 Kings 22:42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.1 Kings 22:42
1 Kings 22:43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.1 Kings 22:43
1 Kings 22:44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.1 Kings 22:44
1 Kings 22:45 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?1 Kings 22:45
1 Kings 22:46 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.1 Kings 22:46
1 Kings 22:47 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.1 Kings 22:47
1 Kings 22:48 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.1 Kings 22:48
1 Kings 22:49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.1 Kings 22:49
1 Kings 22:50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.1 Kings 22:50
1 Kings 22:51 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.1 Kings 22:51
1 Kings 22:52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.1 Kings 22:52
1 Kings 22:53 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.1 Kings 22:53

Bible passages with ‘King’ in the book 2 Kings
2 Kings 1:1 Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.2 Kings 1:1
2 Kings 1:2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”2 Kings 1:2
2 Kings 1:3 And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?2 Kings 1:3
2 Kings 1:4 For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ” And Elijah went away.2 Kings 1:4
2 Kings 1:5 And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”2 Kings 1:5
2 Kings 1:6 But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ”2 Kings 1:6
2 Kings 1:7 And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”2 Kings 1:7
2 Kings 1:8 So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”2 Kings 1:8
2 Kings 1:9 And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”2 Kings 1:9
2 Kings 1:10 And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.2 Kings 1:10
2 Kings 1:11 And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”2 Kings 1:11
2 Kings 1:12 Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.2 Kings 1:12
2 Kings 1:13 Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.2 Kings 1:13
2 Kings 1:14 Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”2 Kings 1:14
2 Kings 1:15 Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.2 Kings 1:15
2 Kings 1:16 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”2 Kings 1:16
2 Kings 1:17 And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.2 Kings 1:17
2 Kings 1:18 But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 1:18
2 Kings 2:1 Now it happened that, when the Lord willed to lift up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going out of Gilgal.2 Kings 2:1
2 Kings 2:2 And Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” And Elisha said to him, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had descended to Bethel,2 Kings 2:2
2 Kings 2:3 the sons of the prophets, who were at Bethel, went out to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he responded: “I know it. Be silent.”2 Kings 2:3
2 Kings 2:4 Then Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had arrived at Jericho,2 Kings 2:4
2 Kings 2:5 the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, drew near to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he said: “I know it. Be silent.”2 Kings 2:5
2 Kings 2:6 Then Elijah said to him: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And so, the two of them continued on together.2 Kings 2:6
2 Kings 2:7 And fifty men from the sons of the prophets followed them, and they stood opposite them, at a distance. But the two of them were standing above the Jordan.2 Kings 2:7
2 Kings 2:8 And Elijah took his cloak, and he rolled it up, and he struck the waters, which were divided into two parts. And they both went across on dry ground.2 Kings 2:8
2 Kings 2:9 And when they had gone across, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what you wish that I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I beg you, that twice your spirit may be accomplished in me.”2 Kings 2:9
2 Kings 2:10 And he responded: “You have requested a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have what you requested. But if you do not see, it shall not be.”2 Kings 2:10
2 Kings 2:11 And as they continued on, they were conversing while walking. And behold, a fiery chariot with fiery horses divided the two. And Elijah ascended by a whirlwind into heaven.2 Kings 2:11
2 Kings 2:12 Then Elisha saw it, and he cried out: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel with its driver!” And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own garments, and he tore them into two parts.2 Kings 2:12
2 Kings 2:13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him. And turning back, he stood above the bank of the Jordan.2 Kings 2:13
2 Kings 2:14 And he struck the waters with the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said, “Where is the God of Elijah, even now?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and there. And Elisha went across.2 Kings 2:14
2 Kings 2:15 Then the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, watching from a distance, said, “The spirit of Elijah has rested upon Elisha.” And approaching to meet him, they reverenced him prone on the ground.2 Kings 2:15
2 Kings 2:16 And they said to him, “Behold, with your servants there are fifty strong men, who are able to go forth and to seek your lord. For perhaps, the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.” But he said, “Do not send them.”2 Kings 2:16
2 Kings 2:17 And they urged him, until he acquiesced and said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men. And after they had searched for three days, they did not find him.2 Kings 2:17
2 Kings 2:18 And they returned to him, for he was living in Jericho. And he said to them: “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not send them?’ ”2 Kings 2:18
2 Kings 2:19 Also, the men of the city said to Elisha: “Behold, this city is a very good habitation, as you yourself perceive, O lord. But the waters are very bad, and the ground is barren.”2 Kings 2:19
2 Kings 2:20 And so he said, “Bring a new vessel to me, and place salt in it.” And when they had brought it,2 Kings 2:20
2 Kings 2:21 he went out to the source of the waters, and he cast the salt into it. And he said: “Thus says the Lord: I have healed these waters, and no longer shall there be death or barrenness in them.”2 Kings 2:21
2 Kings 2:22 Then the waters were healed, even to this day, in accord with the word of Elisha, which he spoke.2 Kings 2:22
2 Kings 2:23 Then he went up from there into Bethel. And as he was ascending along the way, little boys departed from the city. And they were mocking him, saying: “Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!”2 Kings 2:23
2 Kings 2:24 And when he had looked back, he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two bears went out from the forest, and they wounded forty-two boys among them.2 Kings 2:24
2 Kings 2:25 Then he went away from there to mount Carmel. And he returned from there into Samaria.2 Kings 2:25
2 Kings 3:1 Truly, Joram, the son of Ahab, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned for twelve years.2 Kings 3:1
2 Kings 3:2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as his father and mother did. For he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.2 Kings 3:2
2 Kings 3:3 Yet truly, he did adhere to the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; neither did he withdraw from these.2 Kings 3:3
2 Kings 3:4 Now Mesha, the king of Moab, raised many sheep. And he repaid to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs, and one hundred thousand rams, with their fleece.2 Kings 3:4
2 Kings 3:5 And when Ahab had died, he transgressed the pact that he had with the king of Israel.2 Kings 3:5
2 Kings 3:6 Therefore, king Joram departed on that day from Samaria, and he took a count of all of Israel.2 Kings 3:6
2 Kings 3:7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, saying: “The king of Moab was withdrawn from me. Come to battle with me against him.” And he responded: “I will go up. What is mine, is yours. My people are your people. And my horses are your horses.”2 Kings 3:7
2 Kings 3:8 And he said, “Along which way shall we ascend?” So he responded, “Along the desert of Idumea.”2 Kings 3:8
2 Kings 3:9 Therefore, the king of Israel, and the king of Judah, and the king of Idumea, traveled, and they went by a circuitous path for seven days. But there was no water for the army or for the beasts of burden which were following them.2 Kings 3:9
2 Kings 3:10 And the king of Israel said: “Alas, alas, alas! The Lord has gathered we three kings, so that he might deliver us into the hands of Moab.”2 Kings 3:10
2 Kings 3:11 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may appeal to the Lord through him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel responded, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who poured water upon the hands of Elijah.”2 Kings 3:11
2 Kings 3:12 And Jehoshaphat said, “The word of the Lord is with him.” And so, the king of Israel, with Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and with the king of Idumea, descended to him.2 Kings 3:12
2 Kings 3:13 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel: “What is there between you and me? Go to the prophets of your father and your mother.” And the king of Israel said to him, “Why has the Lord gathered these three kings, so that he might deliver them into the hands of Moab?”2 Kings 3:13
2 Kings 3:14 And Elisha said to him: “As the Lord of hosts lives, in whose sight I stand, if I was not humbled by the face of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, certainly I would neither have listened to you, nor have looked upon you.2 Kings 3:14
2 Kings 3:15 But now, bring a musician to me.” And while the musician was playing, the hand of the Lord fell upon him, and he said:2 Kings 3:15
2 Kings 3:16 “Thus says the Lord: Make, in the channel of this torrent, pit after pit.2 Kings 3:16
2 Kings 3:17 For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain. And yet this channel shall be filled with water. And you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts of burden.2 Kings 3:17
2 Kings 3:18 And this is small in the sight of the Lord. So, in addition, he will also deliver Moab into your hands.2 Kings 3:18
2 Kings 3:19 And you shall strike every fortified town and every elect city. And you shall cut down every fruitful tree. And you shall obstruct all the sources of water. And you shall cover every excellent field with stones.”2 Kings 3:19
2 Kings 3:20 Then it happened that, in the morning, when the sacrifices were usually to be offered, behold, water was arriving along the way of Idumea, and the land was filled with water.2 Kings 3:20
2 Kings 3:21 Then all the Moabites, hearing that the kings had ascended so that they might fight against them, gathered all who had been girded with a belt around them, and they stood at the borders.2 Kings 3:21
2 Kings 3:22 And rising up in early morning, and when the sun was now rising before the waters, the Moabites saw the waters opposite them, which were red like blood.2 Kings 3:22
2 Kings 3:23 And they said: “It is the blood of the sword! The kings have fought among themselves, and they have slain one another. Go now, Moab, to the spoils!”2 Kings 3:23
2 Kings 3:24 And they went into the camp of Israel. But Israel, rising up, struck Moab, and they fled before them. And since they had prevailed, they went and struck down Moab.2 Kings 3:24
2 Kings 3:25 And they destroyed the cities. And they filled up every excellent field, each one casting stones. And they obstructed all the sources of water. And they cut down all the fruitful trees, to such an extent that only brick walls remained. And the city was encircled by the slingers of stones. And a great part of it was struck down.2 Kings 3:25
2 Kings 3:26 And when the king of Moab had seen this, specifically, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men who draw the sword, so that he might break through to the king of Idumea. But they were unable.2 Kings 3:26
2 Kings 3:27 And taking his firstborn son, who would have reigned in his place, he offered him as a holocaust upon the wall. And there was great indignation in Israel. And they promptly withdrew from him, and they turned back to their own land.2 Kings 3:27
2 Kings 4:1 Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”2 Kings 4:1
2 Kings 4:2 And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”2 Kings 4:2
2 Kings 4:3 And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.2 Kings 4:3
2 Kings 4:4 And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”2 Kings 4:4
2 Kings 4:5 And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.2 Kings 4:5
2 Kings 4:6 And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.2 Kings 4:6
2 Kings 4:7 Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”2 Kings 4:7
2 Kings 4:8 Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.2 Kings 4:8
2 Kings 4:9 And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.2 Kings 4:9
2 Kings 4:10 Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”2 Kings 4:10
2 Kings 4:11 Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.2 Kings 4:11
2 Kings 4:12 And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,2 Kings 4:12
2 Kings 4:13 he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”2 Kings 4:13
2 Kings 4:14 And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”2 Kings 4:14
2 Kings 4:15 And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,2 Kings 4:15
2 Kings 4:16 he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”2 Kings 4:16
2 Kings 4:17 And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.2 Kings 4:17
2 Kings 4:18 And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,2 Kings 4:18
2 Kings 4:19 he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”2 Kings 4:19
2 Kings 4:20 But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.2 Kings 4:20
2 Kings 4:21 Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,2 Kings 4:21
2 Kings 4:22 she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”2 Kings 4:22
2 Kings 4:23 And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”2 Kings 4:23
2 Kings 4:24 And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”2 Kings 4:24
2 Kings 4:25 And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.2 Kings 4:25
2 Kings 4:26 So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’ ” And she answered, “It is well.”2 Kings 4:26
2 Kings 4:27 And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”2 Kings 4:27
2 Kings 4:28 And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’ ”2 Kings 4:28
2 Kings 4:29 And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”2 Kings 4:29
2 Kings 4:30 But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.2 Kings 4:30
2 Kings 4:31 But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”2 Kings 4:31
2 Kings 4:32 Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.2 Kings 4:32
2 Kings 4:33 And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.2 Kings 4:33
2 Kings 4:34 And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.2 Kings 4:34
2 Kings 4:35 And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.2 Kings 4:35
2 Kings 4:36 And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”2 Kings 4:36
2 Kings 4:37 She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.2 Kings 4:37
2 Kings 4:38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”2 Kings 4:38
2 Kings 4:39 And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.2 Kings 4:39
2 Kings 4:40 Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.2 Kings 4:40
2 Kings 4:41 But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.2 Kings 4:41
2 Kings 4:42 Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”2 Kings 4:42
2 Kings 4:43 And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’ ”2 Kings 4:43
2 Kings 4:44 And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.2 Kings 4:44
2 Kings 5:1 Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.2 Kings 5:1
2 Kings 5:2 Now robbers had gone out from Syria, and they had led away captive, from the land of Israel, a little girl. And she was in the service of the wife of Naaman.2 Kings 5:2
2 Kings 5:3 And she said to her lady: “I wish that my lord had been with the prophet who is in Samaria. Certainly, he would have cured him of the leprosy that he has.”2 Kings 5:3
2 Kings 5:4 And so, Naaman entered to his lord, and he reported to him, saying: “The girl from the land of Israel spoke in such a manner.”2 Kings 5:4
2 Kings 5:5 And the king of Syria said to him, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And when he had set out, he had taken with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand gold coins, and ten changes of fine clothing.2 Kings 5:5
2 Kings 5:6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: “When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.”2 Kings 5:6
2 Kings 5:7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: “Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.”2 Kings 5:7
2 Kings 5:8 And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.”2 Kings 5:8
2 Kings 5:9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.2 Kings 5:9
2 Kings 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.”2 Kings 5:10
2 Kings 5:11 And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: “I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.2 Kings 5:11
2 Kings 5:12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?” But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,2 Kings 5:12
2 Kings 5:13 his servants approached him, and they said to him: “If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: ‘Wash, and you will be clean?’ ”2 Kings 5:13
2 Kings 5:14 So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.2 Kings 5:14
2 Kings 5:15 And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”2 Kings 5:15
2 Kings 5:16 But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.2 Kings 5:16
2 Kings 5:17 And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.2 Kings 5:17
2 Kings 5:18 But there is still this matter, for which you will entreat the Lord on behalf of your servant: when my lord enters the temple of Rimmon, so that he may adore there, and he leans on my hand, if I will bow down in the temple of Rimmon, while he is adoring in the same place, that the Lord may ignore me, your servant, concerning this matter.”2 Kings 5:18
2 Kings 5:19 And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.2 Kings 5:19
2 Kings 5:20 And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said: “My lord has spared Naaman, this Syrian, by not receiving from him what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”2 Kings 5:20
2 Kings 5:21 And so, Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman. And when he had seen him running toward him, he leaped down from his chariot to meet him, and he said, “Is all well?”2 Kings 5:21
2 Kings 5:22 And he said: “It is well. My lord has sent me to you, saying: ‘Just now two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from mount Ephraim. Give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.’ ”2 Kings 5:22
2 Kings 5:23 And Naaman said, “It is better that you accept two talents.” And he urged him, and he bound the two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing. And he set them upon two of his servants, who carried them before him.2 Kings 5:23
2 Kings 5:24 And when now he had arrived in the evening, he took them from their hands, and he stored them in the house. And he dismissed the men, and they went away.2 Kings 5:24
2 Kings 5:25 Then, having entered, he stood before his lord. And Elisha said, “Where are you coming from, Gehazi?” He responded, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”2 Kings 5:25
2 Kings 5:26 But he said: “Was my heart not present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? And now you have received money, and you have received garments, so that you might buy olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men and women servants.2 Kings 5:26
2 Kings 5:27 So then, the leprosy of Naaman shall adhere to you, and to your offspring forever.” And he departed from him a leper, as white as snow.2 Kings 5:27
2 Kings 6:1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.2 Kings 6:1
2 Kings 6:2 Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”2 Kings 6:2
2 Kings 6:3 And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”2 Kings 6:3
2 Kings 6:4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.2 Kings 6:4
2 Kings 6:5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”2 Kings 6:5
2 Kings 6:6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.2 Kings 6:6
2 Kings 6:7 And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.2 Kings 6:7
2 Kings 6:8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”2 Kings 6:8
2 Kings 6:9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”2 Kings 6:9
2 Kings 6:10 And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.2 Kings 6:10
2 Kings 6:11 And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”2 Kings 6:11
2 Kings 6:12 And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”2 Kings 6:12
2 Kings 6:13 And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”2 Kings 6:13
2 Kings 6:14 Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.2 Kings 6:14
2 Kings 6:15 Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”2 Kings 6:15
2 Kings 6:16 But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”2 Kings 6:16
2 Kings 6:17 And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.2 Kings 6:17
2 Kings 6:18 Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.2 Kings 6:18
2 Kings 6:19 Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.2 Kings 6:19
2 Kings 6:20 And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.2 Kings 6:20
2 Kings 6:21 And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”2 Kings 6:21
2 Kings 6:22 And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”2 Kings 6:22
2 Kings 6:23 And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.2 Kings 6:23
2 Kings 6:24 Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.2 Kings 6:24
2 Kings 6:25 And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.2 Kings 6:25
2 Kings 6:26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”2 Kings 6:26
2 Kings 6:27 And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:2 Kings 6:27
2 Kings 6:28 “This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’2 Kings 6:28
2 Kings 6:29 Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”2 Kings 6:29
2 Kings 6:30 When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.2 Kings 6:30
2 Kings 6:31 And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”2 Kings 6:31
2 Kings 6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”2 Kings 6:32
2 Kings 6:33 While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”2 Kings 6:33
2 Kings 7:1 Then Elisha said: “Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: Tomorrow, at this time, one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, and two measures of barley will be one silver coin, at the gate of Samaria.”2 Kings 7:1
2 Kings 7:2 And one of the leaders, upon whose hand the king leaned, responding to the man of God, said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly be?” And he said, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”2 Kings 7:2
2 Kings 7:3 Now there were four lepers beside the entrance of the gate. And they said one to another: “Should we choose to stay here until we die?2 Kings 7:3
2 Kings 7:4 If we choose to enter the city, we will die from the famine. And if we remain here, we also will die. Therefore, come and let us flee over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live. But if they choose to kill us, we will die anyway.”2 Kings 7:4
2 Kings 7:5 Therefore, they rose up in the evening, so that they might go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had arrived at the beginning of the camp of the Syrians, they found no one in that place.2 Kings 7:5
2 Kings 7:6 For indeed, the Lord had caused them to hear, in the camp of Syria, the sound of chariots and horses, and a very numerous army. And they said one to another: “Behold, the king of Israel has paid wages to the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians against us. And they will overwhelm us.”2 Kings 7:6
2 Kings 7:7 Therefore, they rose up and fled away in the dark. And they left behind their tents and horses and donkeys in the camp. And they fled, desiring to save so much as their own lives.2 Kings 7:7
2 Kings 7:8 And so, when these lepers had arrived at the beginning of the camp, they entered one tent, and they ate and drank. And they took from there silver, and gold, and clothing. And they went away and hid it. And they returned again to another tent, and similarly, carrying away from there, they hid it.2 Kings 7:8
2 Kings 7:9 Then they said one to another: “We are not doing the right thing. For this is a day of good news. If we remain silent and refuse to report it until morning, we will be charged with a crime. Come, let us go and report it in the court of the king.”2 Kings 7:9
2 Kings 7:10 And when they had arrived at the gate of the city, they explained to them, saying: “We went into the camp of the Syrians, and we found no one in that place, except horses and donkeys tied, and the tents still standing.”2 Kings 7:10
2 Kings 7:11 Therefore, the gatekeepers went and reported it in the palace of the king.2 Kings 7:11
2 Kings 7:12 And he rose up in the night, and he said to his servants: “I tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are suffering from famine, and therefore they have gone out from the camp, and they lie hidden in the fields, saying: ‘When they will have gone out from the city, we will capture them alive, and then we will be able to enter the city.’ ”2 Kings 7:12
2 Kings 7:13 But one of his servants responded: “Let us take the five horses that remain in the city (for there were no more amid the entire multitude of Israel, since the rest had been consumed), and sending, we will be able to explore.”2 Kings 7:13
2 Kings 7:14 Therefore, they brought two horses. And the king sent them into the camp of the Syrians, saying, “Go, and see.”2 Kings 7:14
2 Kings 7:15 And they went away after them, as far as the Jordan. But behold, the entire way was filled with clothing and vessels, which the Syrians had thrown aside when they were disturbed. And the messengers returned and told the king.2 Kings 7:15
2 Kings 7:16 And the people, going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians. And one measure of fine wheat flour went for one silver coin, and two measures of barley went for one silver coin, in accord with the word of the Lord.2 Kings 7:16
2 Kings 7:17 Then the king stationed that leader, on whose hand he leaned, at the gate. And the crowd trampled him at the entrance of the gate. And he died, in accord with what the man of God had said when the king had descended to him.2 Kings 7:17
2 Kings 7:18 And this happened in accord with the word of the man of God, which he had spoken to the king, when he said: “Two measures of barley will be one silver coin, and one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, at this same time tomorrow, at the gate of Samaria.”2 Kings 7:18
2 Kings 7:19 Then that leader had responded to the man of God, and he had said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly happen?” And he said to him, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”2 Kings 7:19
2 Kings 7:20 Therefore, it happened to him just as it had been predicted. For the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.2 Kings 7:20
2 Kings 8:1 Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”2 Kings 8:1
2 Kings 8:2 And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.2 Kings 8:2
2 Kings 8:3 And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.2 Kings 8:3
2 Kings 8:4 Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”2 Kings 8:4
2 Kings 8:5 And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”2 Kings 8:5
2 Kings 8:6 And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”2 Kings 8:6
2 Kings 8:7 Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”2 Kings 8:7
2 Kings 8:8 And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’ ”2 Kings 8:8
2 Kings 8:9 And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’ ”2 Kings 8:9
2 Kings 8:10 And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”2 Kings 8:10
2 Kings 8:11 And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.2 Kings 8:11
2 Kings 8:12 And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”2 Kings 8:12
2 Kings 8:13 And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”2 Kings 8:13
2 Kings 8:14 And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’ ”2 Kings 8:14
2 Kings 8:15 And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.2 Kings 8:15
2 Kings 8:16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.2 Kings 8:16
2 Kings 8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.2 Kings 8:17
2 Kings 8:18 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.2 Kings 8:18
2 Kings 8:19 But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.2 Kings 8:19
2 Kings 8:20 In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.2 Kings 8:20
2 Kings 8:21 And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.2 Kings 8:21
2 Kings 8:22 And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.2 Kings 8:22
2 Kings 8:23 Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 8:23
2 Kings 8:24 And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 8:24
2 Kings 8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.2 Kings 8:25
2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.2 Kings 8:26
2 Kings 8:27 And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.2 Kings 8:27
2 Kings 8:28 Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.2 Kings 8:28
2 Kings 8:29 And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.2 Kings 8:29
2 Kings 9:1 Now the prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him: “Gird your waist, and take this little bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.2 Kings 9:1
2 Kings 9:2 And when you arrive in that place, you will see Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. And upon entering, you shall raise him up from the midst of his brothers, and you shall lead him into an inner room.2 Kings 9:2
2 Kings 9:3 And taking the little bottle of oil, you shall pour it upon his head, and you shall say: ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ And you shall open the door and flee. And you shall not remain in that place.”2 Kings 9:3
2 Kings 9:4 Therefore, the young man, a servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Gilead.2 Kings 9:4
2 Kings 9:5 And he entered that place, and behold, the leaders of the army were sitting there, and he said, “I have a word for you, O prince.” And Jehu said, “For which one among us all?” And he said, “For you, O prince.”2 Kings 9:5
2 Kings 9:6 And he rose up and entered into the room. And he poured the oil on his head, and he said: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over Israel, the people of the Lord.2 Kings 9:6
2 Kings 9:7 And you will shall strike down the house of Ahab, your lord. And I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, from the hand of Jezebel.2 Kings 9:7
2 Kings 9:8 And I will destroy the entire house of Ahab. And I will cause to pass away from Ahab, whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is least in Israel.2 Kings 9:8
2 Kings 9:9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah.2 Kings 9:9
2 Kings 9:10 Also, the dogs will consume Jezebel, in the field of Jezreel. Neither will there be anyone who may bury her.’ ” And then he opened the door, and he fled.2 Kings 9:10
2 Kings 9:11 Then Jehu went out to the servants of his lord. And they said to him: “Is everything well? Why has this insane man come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man, and what he said.”2 Kings 9:11
2 Kings 9:12 But they responded, “That is false; instead, you should tell us.” And he said to them, “He said to me these certain things, and he said, ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ ”2 Kings 9:12
2 Kings 9:13 And so they hurried away. And each one, taking his cloak, placed it under his feet, in the manner of a seat for judgment. And they sounded the trumpet, and they said: “Jehu reigns!”2 Kings 9:13
2 Kings 9:14 Then Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Gilead, he and all of Israel, against Hazael, the king of Syria.2 Kings 9:14
2 Kings 9:15 And he had returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel, because of his wounds. For the Syrians had struck him, while he was fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu said, “If it pleases you, let no one depart, fleeing from the city; otherwise he may go and give a report in Jezreel.”2 Kings 9:15
2 Kings 9:16 And he climbed up and set out for Jezreel, because Joram was sick there, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, had gone down to visit Joram.2 Kings 9:16
2 Kings 9:17 And so the watchman, who was standing upon the tower of Jezreel, saw the crowd of Jehu arriving, and he said, “I see a crowd.” And Joram said: “Take a chariot, and send to meet them. And those who go should say, ‘Is everything well?’ ”2 Kings 9:17
2 Kings 9:18 Therefore, he who had climbed into the chariot went away to meet him, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is everything peaceful?’ ” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.” Also the watchman gave a report, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he did not return.”2 Kings 9:18
2 Kings 9:19 And then he sent a second chariot of horses. And he went to them, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is there peace?’ ” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.”2 Kings 9:19
2 Kings 9:20 Then the watchman gave a report, saying: “He went all the way to them, but he did not return. But their advance is like the advance of Jehu, the son of Nimshi. For he advances precipitously.”2 Kings 9:20
2 Kings 9:21 And Joram said, “Yoke the chariot.” And they yoked his chariot. And Joram, the king of Israel, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, departed, each in his chariot. And they went out to meet Jehu. And they met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite.2 Kings 9:21
2 Kings 9:22 And when Joram had seen Jehu, he said, “Is there peace, Jehu?” And he responded: “What is peace? For still the fornications of your mother, Jezebel, and her many poisons, are thriving.”2 Kings 9:22
2 Kings 9:23 Then Joram turned his hand, and, fleeing, he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”2 Kings 9:23
2 Kings 9:24 But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and he struck Joram between the shoulders. And the arrow went through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.2 Kings 9:24
2 Kings 9:25 And Jehu said to Bidkar, his commander: “Take and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For I remember, when you and I, sitting in a chariot, were following Ahab, this man’s father, that the Lord lifted this burden upon him, saying:2 Kings 9:25
2 Kings 9:26 ‘Certainly, I will repay you in this field, says the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his sons, which I saw yesterday, says the Lord.’ Therefore, take him now, and cast him into the field, in accord with the word of the Lord.”2 Kings 9:26
2 Kings 9:27 But Ahaziah, the king of Judah, seeing this, fled along the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and he said, “Strike this one also in his chariot.” And they struck him on the ascent to Gur, which is beside Ibleam. But he fled into Megiddo, and he died there.2 Kings 9:27
2 Kings 9:28 And his servants placed him upon his chariot, and they took him to Jerusalem. And they buried him in the sepulcher with his fathers, in the city of David.2 Kings 9:28
2 Kings 9:29 In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.2 Kings 9:29
2 Kings 9:30 And Jehu went into Jezreel. But Jezebel, hearing of his arrival, painted her eyes with cosmetics, and adorned her head. And she watched through a window,2 Kings 9:30
2 Kings 9:31 as Jehu was entering through the gate. And she said, “Is it possible for there to be peace for Zimri, who killed his lord?”2 Kings 9:31
2 Kings 9:32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and he said, “Who is this woman?” And two or three eunuchs bowed down before him.2 Kings 9:32
2 Kings 9:33 And he said to them, “Throw her down with force.” And they threw her forcefully, and the wall was splattered with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trampled her.2 Kings 9:33
2 Kings 9:34 And when he had entered, so that he might eat and drink, he said: “Go, and see to that cursed woman, and bury her. For she is the daughter of a king.”2 Kings 9:34
2 Kings 9:35 But when they had gone, so that they might bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands.2 Kings 9:35
2 Kings 9:36 And returning, they reported to him. And Jehu said: “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke though his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying: ‘In the field of Jezreel, the dogs will consume the flesh of Jezebel.2 Kings 9:36
2 Kings 9:37 And the flesh of Jezebel will be like dung upon the face of the earth, in the field of Jezreel, so that those who pass by may say: Is this that same Jezebel?’ ”2 Kings 9:37
2 Kings 10:1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:2 Kings 10:1
2 Kings 10:2 “Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,2 Kings 10:2
2 Kings 10:3 choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”2 Kings 10:3
2 Kings 10:4 But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”2 Kings 10:4
2 Kings 10:5 Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”2 Kings 10:5
2 Kings 10:6 Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.2 Kings 10:6
2 Kings 10:7 And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.2 Kings 10:7
2 Kings 10:8 Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”2 Kings 10:8
2 Kings 10:9 And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?2 Kings 10:9
2 Kings 10:10 Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”2 Kings 10:10
2 Kings 10:11 And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.2 Kings 10:11
2 Kings 10:12 And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,2 Kings 10:12
2 Kings 10:13 he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”2 Kings 10:13
2 Kings 10:14 And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.2 Kings 10:14
2 Kings 10:15 And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.2 Kings 10:15
2 Kings 10:16 And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.2 Kings 10:16
2 Kings 10:17 And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.2 Kings 10:17
2 Kings 10:18 Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.2 Kings 10:18
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.2 Kings 10:19
2 Kings 10:20 And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned2 Kings 10:20
2 Kings 10:21 and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.2 Kings 10:21
2 Kings 10:22 And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.2 Kings 10:22
2 Kings 10:23 And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”2 Kings 10:23
2 Kings 10:24 Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”2 Kings 10:24
2 Kings 10:25 Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,2 Kings 10:25
2 Kings 10:26 and they took away the statue from the shine of Baal, and they burned it up2 Kings 10:26
2 Kings 10:27 and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.2 Kings 10:27
2 Kings 10:28 And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.2 Kings 10:28
2 Kings 10:29 Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.2 Kings 10:29
2 Kings 10:30 Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”2 Kings 10:30
2 Kings 10:31 But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.2 Kings 10:31
2 Kings 10:32 In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,2 Kings 10:32
2 Kings 10:33 from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.2 Kings 10:33
2 Kings 10:34 But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 10:34
2 Kings 10:35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 10:35
2 Kings 10:36 Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.2 Kings 10:36
2 Kings 11:1 Truly, Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, seeing that her son was dead, rose up and put to death all the royal offspring.2 Kings 11:1
2 Kings 11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, taking Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, stole him away from the midst of the sons of the king who were being killed, out of the bedroom, with his nurse. And she hid him from the face of Athaliah, so that he would not be killed.2 Kings 11:2
2 Kings 11:3 And he was with her for six years, hidden in the house of the Lord. But Athaliah reigned over the land.2 Kings 11:3
2 Kings 11:4 Then, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for and took centurions and soldiers, and he brought them to himself in the temple of the Lord. And he formed a pact with them. And taking an oath with them in the house of the Lord, he revealed to them the son of the king.2 Kings 11:4
2 Kings 11:5 And he commanded them, saying: “This is the word that you must do.2 Kings 11:5
2 Kings 11:6 Let one third part of you enter on the Sabbath, and keep watch on the house of the king. And let one third part be at the gate of Sur. And let one third part be at the gate behind the dwelling place of the shield bearers. And you shall keep the watch on the house of Mesha.2 Kings 11:6
2 Kings 11:7 Yet truly, let two parts of you, all who depart on the Sabbath, keep watch over the house of the Lord concerning the king.2 Kings 11:7
2 Kings 11:8 And you shall surround him, having weapons in your hands. But if anyone will have entered the precinct of the temple, let him be killed. And you shall be with the king, entering and departing.”2 Kings 11:8
2 Kings 11:9 And the centurions acted in accord with all the things that Jehoiada, the priest, had instructed them. And taking each one of their men who would enter on the Sabbath, with those who would depart on the Sabbath, they went to Jehoiada, the priest.2 Kings 11:9
2 Kings 11:10 And he gave to them the spears and weapons of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.2 Kings 11:10
2 Kings 11:11 And they stood, each one having his weapons in his hand, before the right side of the temple, all the way to the left side of the altar and of the shrine, surrounding the king.2 Kings 11:11
2 Kings 11:12 And he led forth the son of the king. And he placed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they made him king, and they anointed him. And clapping their hands, they said: “The king lives!”2 Kings 11:12
2 Kings 11:13 Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at the temple of the Lord,2 Kings 11:13
2 Kings 11:14 she saw the king standing upon a tribunal, according to custom, and the singers and trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing and sounding the trumpets. And she tore her garments, and she cried out: “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”2 Kings 11:14
2 Kings 11:15 But Jehoiada gave orders to the centurions who were over the army, and he said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the precinct of the temple. And whoever will have followed her, let him be struck with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not allow her to be killed in the temple of the Lord.”2 Kings 11:15
2 Kings 11:16 And they laid hands on her. And they pushed her through the way by which horses enter, beside the palace. And she was killed there.2 Kings 11:16
2 Kings 11:17 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between the Lord, and the king and the people, so that they would be the people of the Lord; and between the king and the people.2 Kings 11:17
2 Kings 11:18 And all the people of the land entered the temple of Baal, and they tore down his altars, and they thoroughly crushed the statues. Also, they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altar. And the priest placed guards in the house of the Lord.2 Kings 11:18
2 Kings 11:19 And he took the centurions, and the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites, and all the people of the land, and together they led the king from the house of the Lord. And they went by way of the gate of the shield bearers into the palace. And he sat upon the throne of the kings.2 Kings 11:19
2 Kings 11:20 And all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword at the house of the king.2 Kings 11:20
2 Kings 11:21 Now Jehoash was seven years old when he had begun to reign.2 Kings 11:21
2 Kings 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.2 Kings 12:1
2 Kings 12:2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.2 Kings 12:2
2 Kings 12:3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.2 Kings 12:3
2 Kings 12:4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:2 Kings 12:4
2 Kings 12:5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”2 Kings 12:5
2 Kings 12:6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.2 Kings 12:6
2 Kings 12:7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”2 Kings 12:7
2 Kings 12:8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.2 Kings 12:8
2 Kings 12:9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 12:9
2 Kings 12:10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.2 Kings 12:10
2 Kings 12:11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord2 Kings 12:11
2 Kings 12:12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.2 Kings 12:12
2 Kings 12:13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 12:13
2 Kings 12:14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.2 Kings 12:14
2 Kings 12:15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.2 Kings 12:15
2 Kings 12:16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.2 Kings 12:16
2 Kings 12:17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.2 Kings 12:17
2 Kings 12:18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.2 Kings 12:18
2 Kings 12:19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 12:19
2 Kings 12:20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.2 Kings 12:20
2 Kings 12:21 For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 12:21
2 Kings 13:1 In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for seventeen years.2 Kings 13:1
2 Kings 13:2 And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.2 Kings 13:2
2 Kings 13:3 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.2 Kings 13:3
2 Kings 13:4 But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them.2 Kings 13:4
2 Kings 13:5 And the Lord gave a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day before.2 Kings 13:5
2 Kings 13:6 Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining in Samaria.2 Kings 13:6
2 Kings 13:7 And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.2 Kings 13:7
2 Kings 13:8 But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 13:8
2 Kings 13:9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 13:9
2 Kings 13:10 In the thirty-seventh year of Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for sixteen years.2 Kings 13:10
2 Kings 13:11 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by them.2 Kings 13:11
2 Kings 13:12 But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 13:12
2 Kings 13:13 And Joash slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.2 Kings 13:13
2 Kings 13:14 Now Elisha was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”2 Kings 13:14
2 Kings 13:15 And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,2 Kings 13:15
2 Kings 13:16 he said to the king of Israel, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha place his own hands over the hands of the king.2 Kings 13:16
2 Kings 13:17 And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume them.”2 Kings 13:17
2 Kings 13:18 And he said, “Take the arrows.” And when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,2 Kings 13:18
2 Kings 13:19 the man of God became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it three times.”2 Kings 13:19
2 Kings 13:20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same year.2 Kings 13:20
2 Kings 13:21 But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.2 Kings 13:21
2 Kings 13:22 Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during all the days of Jehoahaz.2 Kings 13:22
2 Kings 13:23 But the Lord took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.2 Kings 13:23
2 Kings 13:24 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 13:24
2 Kings 13:25 Now Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Jehoash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to Israel.2 Kings 13:25
2 Kings 14:1 In the second year of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.2 Kings 14:1
2 Kings 14:2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.2 Kings 14:2
2 Kings 14:3 And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,2 Kings 14:3
2 Kings 14:4 except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.2 Kings 14:4
2 Kings 14:5 And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.2 Kings 14:5
2 Kings 14:6 But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”2 Kings 14:6
2 Kings 14:7 He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.2 Kings 14:7
2 Kings 14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”2 Kings 14:8
2 Kings 14:9 And Jehoash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.2 Kings 14:9
2 Kings 14:10 You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”2 Kings 14:10
2 Kings 14:11 But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Jehoash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.2 Kings 14:11
2 Kings 14:12 And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.2 Kings 14:12
2 Kings 14:13 And truly, Jehoash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.2 Kings 14:13
2 Kings 14:14 And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.2 Kings 14:14
2 Kings 14:15 But the rest of the words of Jehoash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 14:15
2 Kings 14:16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 14:16
2 Kings 14:17 Now Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.2 Kings 14:17
2 Kings 14:18 And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 14:18
2 Kings 14:19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.2 Kings 14:19
2 Kings 14:20 And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.2 Kings 14:20
2 Kings 14:21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.2 Kings 14:21
2 Kings 14:22 He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.2 Kings 14:22
2 Kings 14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.2 Kings 14:23
2 Kings 14:24 And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.2 Kings 14:24
2 Kings 14:25 He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.2 Kings 14:25
2 Kings 14:26 For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.2 Kings 14:26
2 Kings 14:27 But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash.2 Kings 14:27
2 Kings 14:28 But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 14:28
2 Kings 14:29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 14:29
2 Kings 15:1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel: Azariah, the son of Amaziah, reigned as king of Judah.2 Kings 15:1
2 Kings 15:2 He was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.2 Kings 15:2
2 Kings 15:3 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.2 Kings 15:3
2 Kings 15:4 Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.2 Kings 15:4
2 Kings 15:5 Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.2 Kings 15:5
2 Kings 15:6 Now the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 15:6
2 Kings 15:7 And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:7
2 Kings 15:8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for six months.2 Kings 15:8
2 Kings 15:9 And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.2 Kings 15:9
2 Kings 15:10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him. And he struck him openly, and killed him. And he reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:10
2 Kings 15:11 Now the rest of the words of Zechariah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 15:11
2 Kings 15:12 This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: “Your sons, even to the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.” And so it happened.2 Kings 15:12
2 Kings 15:13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, reigned in the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, the king of Judah. And he reigned for one month, in Samaria.2 Kings 15:13
2 Kings 15:14 And Menahem, the son of Gadi, ascended from Tirzah. And he went into Samaria, and he struck Shallum, the son of Jabesh, in Samaria. And he killed him, and reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:14
2 Kings 15:15 Now the rest of the words of Shallum, and his conspiracy, by which he carried out treachery, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 15:15
2 Kings 15:16 Then Menahem struck Tirzah, and all who were in it, and its borders around Tirzah. For they were not willing to open to him. And he killed all of its pregnant women, and he tore them open.2 Kings 15:16
2 Kings 15:17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Menahem, son of Gadi, reigned over Israel for ten years, in Samaria.2 Kings 15:17
2 Kings 15:18 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, during all his days.2 Kings 15:18
2 Kings 15:19 Then Pul, the king of the Assyrians, came into the land. And Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that he would be a help to him, and so that he might strengthen his kingdom.2 Kings 15:19
2 Kings 15:20 And Menahem proclaimed a tax upon Israel, on all who were powerful and wealthy, so that each one would give to the king of the Assyrians fifty shekels of silver. Then the king of the Assyrians turned back, and he did not remain in the land.2 Kings 15:20
2 Kings 15:21 Now the rest of the words of Menahem, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 15:21
2 Kings 15:22 And Menahem slept with his fathers. And Pekahiah, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:22
2 Kings 15:23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Pekahiah, the son of Menahem, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for two years.2 Kings 15:23
2 Kings 15:24 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.2 Kings 15:24
2 Kings 15:25 Then Pekah, the son of Remaliah, his commander, conspired against him. And he struck him in Samaria, in the tower of the king’s house, near Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men from the sons of the Gileadites. And he killed him, and reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:25
2 Kings 15:26 Now the rest of the words of Pekahiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 15:26
2 Kings 15:27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Pekah, the son of Remaliah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for twenty years.2 Kings 15:27
2 Kings 15:28 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.2 Kings 15:28
2 Kings 15:29 In the days of Pekah, the king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, arrived and captured Ijon, and Abel Bethmaacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and the entire land of Naphtali. And he took them away into Assyria.2 Kings 15:29
2 Kings 15:30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, conspired and carried out treachery against Pekah, the son of Remaliah. And he struck him, and killed him. And he reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.2 Kings 15:30
2 Kings 15:31 Now the rest of the words of Pekah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?2 Kings 15:31
2 Kings 15:32 In the second year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel: Jotham, son of Uzziah, reigned as king of Judah.2 Kings 15:32
2 Kings 15:33 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.2 Kings 15:33
2 Kings 15:34 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord. In accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, so he did.2 Kings 15:34
2 Kings 15:35 Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. And still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places. But he edified the gate of the house of the Lord to be very sublime.2 Kings 15:35
2 Kings 15:36 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 15:36
2 Kings 15:37 In those days, the Lord began to send, into Judah, Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah.2 Kings 15:37
2 Kings 15:38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Ahaz, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 15:38
2 Kings 16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah: Ahaz, the son of Jotham, reigned as king of Judah.2 Kings 16:1
2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as his father David did.2 Kings 16:2
2 Kings 16:3 Instead, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he even consecrated his son, making him pass through fire, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.2 Kings 16:3
2 Kings 16:4 Also, he was immolating victims, and burning incense, in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.2 Kings 16:4
2 Kings 16:5 Then Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, ascended to do battle against Jerusalem. And they besieged Ahaz, but they were not able to overcome him.2 Kings 16:5
2 Kings 16:6 At that time, Rezin, the king of Syria, restored Elath to Syria, and he expelled the Judeans from Elath. And the Idumeans went into Elath, and they have lived there, even to this day.2 Kings 16:6
2 Kings 16:7 Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians, saying: “I am your servant, and I am your son. Ascend and accomplish my salvation from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up together against me.”2 Kings 16:7
2 Kings 16:8 And when he had collected the silver and the gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king, he sent it as a gift to the king of the Assyrians.2 Kings 16:8
2 Kings 16:9 And he agreed to his will. For the king of the Assyrians ascended against Damascus, and he laid waste to it. And he carried away its inhabitants to Cyrene. But Rezin he killed.2 Kings 16:9
2 Kings 16:10 And king Ahaz traveled to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians. And when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Ahaz sent to Uriah, the priest, its pattern and likeness, according to all of its work.2 Kings 16:10
2 Kings 16:11 And Uriah, the priest, constructed an altar in accord with all that king Ahaz had commanded from Damascus. Uriah, the priest, did so, until king Ahaz arrived from Damascus.2 Kings 16:11
2 Kings 16:12 And when the king had arrived from Damascus, he saw the altar, and he venerated it. And he went up and immolated holocausts, with his own sacrifice.2 Kings 16:12
2 Kings 16:13 And he offered libations, and he poured out the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.2 Kings 16:13
2 Kings 16:14 But the altar of brass, which was before the Lord, he took away from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord. And he positioned it at the side of the altar, toward the north.2 Kings 16:14
2 Kings 16:15 Also, king Ahaz instructed Uriah, the priest, saying: “Upon the great altar, offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the holocaust of the king, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the entire people of the land, and their sacrifices. But their libations, and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim, you shall pour out upon it. Then truly, the altar of brass shall be prepared for use at my will.”2 Kings 16:15
2 Kings 16:16 And so Uriah, the priest, acted in accord with all that king Ahaz had instructed to him.2 Kings 16:16
2 Kings 16:17 Then king Ahaz took away the engraved bases, and the basin that was upon them. And he took down the sea from the bronze oxen, which were holding it up. And he positioned it upon a layer of pavement stone.2 Kings 16:17
2 Kings 16:18 Also, the canopy for the Sabbath, which he had built in the temple, and the exterior entrance of the king, he converted into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.2 Kings 16:18
2 Kings 16:19 Now the rest of the words of Ahaz that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 16:19
2 Kings 16:20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 16:20
2 Kings 17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz, the king of Judah: Hoshea, the son of Elah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for nine years.2 Kings 17:1
2 Kings 17:2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who had been before him.2 Kings 17:2
2 Kings 17:3 Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended against him. And Hoshea became a servant to him, and he paid him tribute.2 Kings 17:3
2 Kings 17:4 And when the king of the Assyrians discovered that Hoshea, striving to rebel, had sent messengers to Sais, to the king of Egypt, so as not to present the tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had been accustomed to do each year, he besieged him. And having been bound, he cast him into prison.2 Kings 17:4
2 Kings 17:5 And he wandered through the entire land. And ascending to Samaria, he besieged it for three years.2 Kings 17:5
2 Kings 17:6 And in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of the Assyrians captured Samaria, and he carried away Israel to Assyria. And he stationed them in Halah and in Habor, beside the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.2 Kings 17:6
2 Kings 17:7 For it happened that, when the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who had led them away from the land of Egypt, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, they worshipped strange gods.2 Kings 17:7
2 Kings 17:8 And they walked according to the rituals of the nations that the Lord had consumed in the sight of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel. For they had acted similarly.2 Kings 17:8
2 Kings 17:9 And the sons of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with deeds that were not upright. And they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.2 Kings 17:9
2 Kings 17:10 And they made for themselves statues and sacred groves, on every high hill and under every leafy tree.2 Kings 17:10
2 Kings 17:11 And they were burning incense there, upon altars, in the manner of the nations that the Lord had removed from their face. And they did wicked deeds, provoking the Lord.2 Kings 17:11
2 Kings 17:12 And they worshipped impurities, concerning which the Lord instructed them that they should not do this word.2 Kings 17:12
2 Kings 17:13 And the Lord testified to them, in Israel and in Judah, through the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: “Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts and ceremonies, in accord with the entire law, which I instructed to your fathers, and just as I sent to you by the hand of my servants, the prophets.”2 Kings 17:13
2 Kings 17:14 But they did not listen. Instead, they hardened their necks to be like the neck of their fathers, who were not willing to obey the Lord, their God.2 Kings 17:14
2 Kings 17:15 And they cast aside his ordinances, and the covenant that he formed with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified to them. And they pursued vanities and acted vainly. And they followed the nations that were all around them, concerning the things which the Lord had commanded them not to do, and which they did.2 Kings 17:15
2 Kings 17:16 And they abandoned all the precepts of the Lord, their God. And they made for themselves two molten calves and sacred groves. And they adored the entire celestial army. And they served Baal.2 Kings 17:16
2 Kings 17:17 And they consecrated their sons and their daughters through fire. And they devoted themselves to divinations and soothsaying. And they delivered themselves into the doing of evil before the Lord, so that they provoked him.2 Kings 17:17
2 Kings 17:18 And the Lord became vehemently angry with Israel, and he took them away from his sight. And there remained no one, except the tribe of Judah alone.2 Kings 17:18
2 Kings 17:19 But even Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord, their God. Instead, they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.2 Kings 17:19
2 Kings 17:20 And the Lord cast aside all of the offspring of Israel. And he afflicted them, and he delivered them into the hand of despoilers, until he drove them away from his face,2 Kings 17:20
2 Kings 17:21 even from that time when Israel was torn away from the house of David, and they appointed for themselves Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, as king. For Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and he caused them to sin a great sin.2 Kings 17:21
2 Kings 17:22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done. And they did not withdraw from these,2 Kings 17:22
2 Kings 17:23 even when the Lord carried away Israel from his face, just as he had said by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And Israel was carried away from their land into Assyria, even to this day.2 Kings 17:23
2 Kings 17:24 Then the king of the Assyrians brought some from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim. And he located them in the cities of Samaria, in place of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and they lived in its cities.2 Kings 17:24
2 Kings 17:25 And when they had begun to live there, they did not fear the Lord. And the Lord sent lions among them, which were killing them.2 Kings 17:25
2 Kings 17:26 And this was reported to the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: “The peoples that you transferred and caused to live in the cities of Samaria, they are ignorant of the ordinances of the God of the land. And so the Lord has sent lions among them. And behold, they have killed them, because they were ignorant of the rituals of the God of the land.”2 Kings 17:26
2 Kings 17:27 Then the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: “Lead to that place one of the priests, whom you brought as a captive from there. And let him go and live with them. And let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.”2 Kings 17:27
2 Kings 17:28 And so, when one of the priests, who had been led away captive from Samaria, had arrived, he lived in Bethel. And he taught them how they should worship the Lord.2 Kings 17:28
2 Kings 17:29 And each of the nations made gods of their own, and they placed them in the shrines of the high places, which the Samaritans had made: nation after nation, in their cities in which they were living.2 Kings 17:29
2 Kings 17:30 So the men of Babylon made Soccoth-benoth; and the men of Cuth made Nergal; and the men of Hamath made Ashima;2 Kings 17:30
2 Kings 17:31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. Then those who were from Sepharvaim burned up their children with fire, for the gods of Sepharvaim: Adram-melech and Anam-melech.2 Kings 17:31
2 Kings 17:32 But nevertheless, they worshipped the Lord. Then they made for themselves, from the least of the people, priests of the high places. And they placed them in the shrines of the high places.2 Kings 17:32
2 Kings 17:33 And though they worshipped the Lord, they also served their own gods, according to the custom of the nations from which they had been transferred into Samaria.2 Kings 17:33
2 Kings 17:34 Even to the present day, they follow the ancient customs; they do not fear the Lord, and they do not keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which the Lord had instructed to the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.2 Kings 17:34
2 Kings 17:35 And he had struck a covenant with them, and he had commanded them, saying: “You shall not fear foreign gods, and you shall not adore them, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not sacrifice to them.2 Kings 17:35
2 Kings 17:36 But the Lord, your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.2 Kings 17:36
2 Kings 17:37 Also, the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall keep so that you do them for all days. And you shall not fear strange gods.2 Kings 17:37
2 Kings 17:38 And the covenant, which he struck with you, you shall not forget; neither shall you worship strange gods.2 Kings 17:38
2 Kings 17:39 But you shall fear the Lord, your God. And he will rescue you from the hand of all your enemies.”2 Kings 17:39
2 Kings 17:40 Yet truly, they did not listen to this. Instead, they acted in accord with their earlier custom.2 Kings 17:40
2 Kings 17:41 And such were these nations: to some extent fearing the Lord, yet nevertheless also serving their idols. As for their sons and grandsons, just as their fathers acted, so also did they act, even to the present day.2 Kings 17:41
2 Kings 18:1 In the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, reigned as king of Judah.2 Kings 18:1
2 Kings 18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.2 Kings 18:2
2 Kings 18:3 And he did what was good before the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.2 Kings 18:3
2 Kings 18:4 He destroyed the high places, and he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he broke apart the bronze serpent, which Moses had made. For even until that time, the sons of Israel were burning incense to it. And he called its name Nehushtan.2 Kings 18:4
2 Kings 18:5 He hoped in the Lord, the God of Israel. And after him, there was no one similar to him, among all the kings of Judah, nor even among any of those who were before him.2 Kings 18:5
2 Kings 18:6 And he clung to the Lord, and he did not withdraw from his footsteps, and he carried out his commandments, which the Lord had instructed to Moses.2 Kings 18:6
2 Kings 18:7 Therefore, the Lord was also with him. And he conducted himself wisely in all the things to which he went forth. Also, he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and he did not serve him.2 Kings 18:7
2 Kings 18:8 He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza, and in all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.2 Kings 18:8
2 Kings 18:9 In the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended to Samaria, and he fought against it,2 Kings 18:9
2 Kings 18:10 and he seized it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Israel, Samaria was captured.2 Kings 18:10
2 Kings 18:11 And the king of the Assyrians took away Israel into Assyria. And he located them in Halah and in Habor, at the rivers of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.2 Kings 18:11
2 Kings 18:12 For they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, their God. Instead, they transgressed his covenant. All that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed, they would neither hear, nor do.2 Kings 18:12
2 Kings 18:13 In the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, went up to all the fortified cities of Judah, and he captured them.2 Kings 18:13
2 Kings 18:14 Then Hezekiah, the king of Judah, sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians at Lachish, saying: “I have offended. Withdraw from me, and all that you will impose upon me, I will bear.” And so the king of the Assyrians levied a tax upon Hezekiah, the king of Judah, of three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.2 Kings 18:14
2 Kings 18:15 And Hezekiah gave all the silver that had been found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king.2 Kings 18:15
2 Kings 18:16 At that time, Hezekiah broke apart the doors of the temple of the Lord, with the plates of gold which he had affixed to them. And he gave these to the king of the Assyrians.2 Kings 18:16
2 Kings 18:17 Then the king of the Assyrians sent Tartan, and Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, to king Hezekiah, with a powerful hand, to Jerusalem. And when they had ascended, they arrived in Jerusalem, and they stood beside the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is along the way of the fuller’s field.2 Kings 18:17
2 Kings 18:18 And they called for the king. But there went out to them Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records.2 Kings 18:18
2 Kings 18:19 And Rabshakeh said to them: “Speak to Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this faith, in which you strive?2 Kings 18:19
2 Kings 18:20 Perhaps, you have taken counsel, so that you would prepare yourself for battle. In whom do you trust, so that you would dare to rebel?2 Kings 18:20
2 Kings 18:21 Do you hope in Egypt, that staff of a broken reed, which, if a man would lean upon it, breaking, it would pierce his hand? Such is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who would trust in him.2 Kings 18:21
2 Kings 18:22 But if you say to me: ‘We have faith in the Lord, our God.’ Is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away? And did he not instruct Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You shall adore before this altar in Jerusalem?’2 Kings 18:22
2 Kings 18:23 Now therefore, cross over to my lord, the king of the Assyrians, and I will give to you two thousand horses, and we will see if you even have enough riders for them.2 Kings 18:23
2 Kings 18:24 So how can you resist one prince from the least of my lord’s servants? Do you have faith in Egypt because of the chariots and horsemen?2 Kings 18:24
2 Kings 18:25 Is it not by the will of the Lord that I have chosen to ascend to this place, so that I may destroy it? The Lord said to me: ‘Ascend to this land, and destroy it.’ ”2 Kings 18:25
2 Kings 18:26 Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh: “We beseech you, that you may speak to us, your servants, in Syriac. For we understand that language to some extent. And do not speak to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people, who are upon the wall.”2 Kings 18:26
2 Kings 18:27 And Rabshakeh responded to them, saying: “Has my lord sent me to your lord and to you, so that I may speak these words, and not instead to the men who are sitting upon the wall, so that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?”2 Kings 18:27
2 Kings 18:28 And so, Rabshakeh stood up, and he exclaimed in a great voice, in the Jews’ language, and he said: “Listen to the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.2 Kings 18:28
2 Kings 18:29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah lead you astray. For he will not be able to rescue you from my hand.2 Kings 18:29
2 Kings 18:30 And do not let him give you faith in the Lord, saying: ‘The Lord will rescue and free us, and this city will not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.’2 Kings 18:30
2 Kings 18:31 Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of the Assyrians: Do with me what is for your own good, and come out to me. And each one of you will eat from his own vine, and from his own fig tree. And you shall drink water from your own wells,2 Kings 18:31
2 Kings 18:32 until I arrive and transfer you into a land, similar to your own land, a fruitful and fertile land of wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives and oil and honey. And you will live, and not die. Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah, who deceives you, saying: ‘The Lord will free us.’2 Kings 18:32
2 Kings 18:33 Have any of the gods of the nations freed their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?2 Kings 18:33
2 Kings 18:34 Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and of Avva? Have they freed Samaria from my hand?2 Kings 18:34
2 Kings 18:35 Which ones among all the gods of the lands have rescued their region from my hand, so that the Lord would be able to rescue Jerusalem from my hand?”2 Kings 18:35
2 Kings 18:36 But the people were silent, and they did not respond at all to him. For indeed, they had received an instruction from the king that they should not respond to him.2 Kings 18:36
2 Kings 18:37 And Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records, went to Hezekiah with their garments torn. And they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.2 Kings 18:37
2 Kings 19:1 And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.2 Kings 19:1
2 Kings 19:2 And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.2 Kings 19:2
2 Kings 19:3 And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.2 Kings 19:3
2 Kings 19:4 Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”2 Kings 19:4
2 Kings 19:5 And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.2 Kings 19:5
2 Kings 19:6 And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.2 Kings 19:6
2 Kings 19:7 Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”2 Kings 19:7
2 Kings 19:8 Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.2 Kings 19:8
2 Kings 19:9 And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:2 Kings 19:9
2 Kings 19:10 “So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’2 Kings 19:10
2 Kings 19:11 For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?2 Kings 19:11
2 Kings 19:12 Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?2 Kings 19:12
2 Kings 19:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”2 Kings 19:13
2 Kings 19:14 And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.2 Kings 19:14
2 Kings 19:15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.2 Kings 19:15
2 Kings 19:16 Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.2 Kings 19:16
2 Kings 19:17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.2 Kings 19:17
2 Kings 19:18 And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.2 Kings 19:18
2 Kings 19:19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”2 Kings 19:19
2 Kings 19:20 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.2 Kings 19:20
2 Kings 19:21 This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.2 Kings 19:21
2 Kings 19:22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!2 Kings 19:22
2 Kings 19:23 By the hand of your servants, you have reproach the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,2 Kings 19:23
2 Kings 19:24 I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’2 Kings 19:24
2 Kings 19:25 But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.2 Kings 19:25
2 Kings 19:26 And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.2 Kings 19:26
2 Kings 19:27 Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.2 Kings 19:27
2 Kings 19:28 You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.2 Kings 19:28
2 Kings 19:29 But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.2 Kings 19:29
2 Kings 19:30 And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.2 Kings 19:30
2 Kings 19:31 Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.2 Kings 19:31
2 Kings 19:32 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.2 Kings 19:32
2 Kings 19:33 By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.2 Kings 19:33
2 Kings 19:34 And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”2 Kings 19:34
2 Kings 19:35 And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.2 Kings 19:35
2 Kings 19:36 And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.2 Kings 19:36
2 Kings 19:37 And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 19:37
2 Kings 20:1 In those days, Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came and said to him: “Thus says the Lord God: Instruct your house, for you will die, and not live.”2 Kings 20:1
2 Kings 20:2 And he turned his face to the wall, and he prayed to the Lord, saying:2 Kings 20:2
2 Kings 20:3 “I beg you, O Lord, I beseech you, remember how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart, and how I have done what is pleasing before you.” And then Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.2 Kings 20:3
2 Kings 20:4 And before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:2 Kings 20:4
2 Kings 20:5 “Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. And behold, I have healed you. On the third day, you shall ascend to the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 20:5
2 Kings 20:6 And I will add fifteen years to your days. Then too, I will free you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians. And I will protect this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”2 Kings 20:6
2 Kings 20:7 And Isaiah said, “Bring me a mass of figs.” And when they had brought it, and they had placed it on his sore, he was healed.2 Kings 20:7
2 Kings 20:8 But Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will ascend to the temple of the Lord on the third day?”2 Kings 20:8
2 Kings 20:9 And Isaiah said to him: “This will be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word that he has spoken: Do you wish that the shadow may ascend ten lines, or that it may turn back for the same number of degrees?”2 Kings 20:9
2 Kings 20:10 And Hezekiah said: “It is an easy for the shadow to increase for ten lines. And so I do not wish that this be done. Instead, let it turn back for ten degrees.”2 Kings 20:10
2 Kings 20:11 And so the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord. And he led back the shadow, along the lines by which it had already descended on the sundial of Ahaz, in reverse for ten degrees.2 Kings 20:11
2 Kings 20:12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of the Babylonians, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.2 Kings 20:12
2 Kings 20:13 Now Hezekiah rejoiced at their arrival, and so he revealed to them the house of aromatic spices, and the gold and silver, and the various pigments and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he was able to have in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Hezekiah did not show to them.2 Kings 20:13
2 Kings 20:14 Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said to him, “They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.”2 Kings 20:14
2 Kings 20:15 And he responded, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.”2 Kings 20:15
2 Kings 20:16 And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to the word of the Lord.2 Kings 20:16
2 Kings 20:17 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.2 Kings 20:17
2 Kings 20:18 Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”2 Kings 20:18
2 Kings 20:19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be in my days.”2 Kings 20:19
2 Kings 20:20 Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and all his strength, and how he made a pool, and an aqueduct, and how he brought waters into the city, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 20:20
2 Kings 20:21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 20:21
2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.2 Kings 21:1
2 Kings 21:2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.2 Kings 21:2
2 Kings 21:3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.2 Kings 21:3
2 Kings 21:4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”2 Kings 21:4
2 Kings 21:5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 21:5
2 Kings 21:6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.2 Kings 21:6
2 Kings 21:7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.2 Kings 21:7
2 Kings 21:8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”2 Kings 21:8
2 Kings 21:9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.2 Kings 21:9
2 Kings 21:10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:2 Kings 21:10
2 Kings 21:11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,2 Kings 21:11
2 Kings 21:12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.2 Kings 21:12
2 Kings 21:13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.2 Kings 21:13
2 Kings 21:14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.2 Kings 21:14
2 Kings 21:15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.2 Kings 21:15
2 Kings 21:16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”2 Kings 21:16
2 Kings 21:17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 21:17
2 Kings 21:18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 21:18
2 Kings 21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.2 Kings 21:19
2 Kings 21:20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.2 Kings 21:20
2 Kings 21:21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.2 Kings 21:21
2 Kings 21:22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.2 Kings 21:22
2 Kings 21:23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.2 Kings 21:23
2 Kings 21:24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.2 Kings 21:24
2 Kings 21:25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 21:25
2 Kings 21:26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.2 Kings 21:26
2 Kings 22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.2 Kings 22:1
2 Kings 22:2 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, or to the left.2 Kings 22:2
2 Kings 22:3 Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:2 Kings 22:3
2 Kings 22:4 “Go to Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from the people.2 Kings 22:4
2 Kings 22:5 And let it be given, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,2 Kings 22:5
2 Kings 22:6 specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 22:6
2 Kings 22:7 Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”2 Kings 22:7
2 Kings 22:8 Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.2 Kings 22:8
2 Kings 22:9 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”2 Kings 22:9
2 Kings 22:10 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,2 Kings 22:10
2 Kings 22:11 and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.2 Kings 22:11
2 Kings 22:12 And he instructed Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:2 Kings 22:12
2 Kings 22:13 “Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”2 Kings 22:13
2 Kings 22:14 Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.2 Kings 22:14
2 Kings 22:15 And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:2 Kings 22:15
2 Kings 22:16 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has read.2 Kings 22:16
2 Kings 22:17 For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.2 Kings 22:17
2 Kings 22:18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,2 Kings 22:18
2 Kings 22:19 and your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says the Lord.2 Kings 22:19
2 Kings 22:20 For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”2 Kings 22:20
2 Kings 23:1 And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.2 Kings 23:1
2 Kings 23:2 And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord. And with him were all the men of Judah and all who were living in Jerusalem: the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great. And in the hearing of everyone, he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.2 Kings 23:2
2 Kings 23:3 And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.2 Kings 23:3
2 Kings 23:4 And the king instructed Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, so that they would cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels which had been made for Baal, and for the sacred grove, and for the entire army of heaven. And he burned them outside of Jerusalem, in the steep valley of Kidron. And he carried their dust into Bethel.2 Kings 23:4
2 Kings 23:5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Judah had appointed to sacrifice in the high places throughout the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem, along with those who were burning incense to Baal, and to the Sun, and to the Moon, and to the twelve signs, and to the entire army of heaven.2 Kings 23:5
2 Kings 23:6 And he caused the sacred grove to be carried away from the house of the Lord, outside of Jerusalem, to the steep valley of Kidron. And he burned it there, and reduced it to dust. And he cast the dust over the graves of the common people.2 Kings 23:6
2 Kings 23:7 Also, he destroyed the small places of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women were weaving something like little houses in the sacred grove.2 Kings 23:7
2 Kings 23:8 And he gathered together all the priests from the cities of Judah. And he defiled the high places, where the priests were sacrificing, from Geba as far as Beersheba. And he tore down the altars of the gates at the entrance to the gate of Joshua, the leader of the city, which was to the left of the gate of the city.2 Kings 23:8
2 Kings 23:9 Yet truly, the priests of the high places did not ascend to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. For they would only eat from the unleavened bread in the midst of their brothers.2 Kings 23:9
2 Kings 23:10 Also, he defiled Topheth, which is in the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no one would consecrate his son or his daughter, through fire, to Molech.2 Kings 23:10
2 Kings 23:11 Also, he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the Sun, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, beside the hallway of Nathan-melech, the eunuch, who was in Pharurim. And he burned the chariots of the Sun with fire.2 Kings 23:11
2 Kings 23:12 Also, the altars which were upon the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king destroyed. And he hurried from there, and he scattered their ashes into the torrent Kidron.2 Kings 23:12
2 Kings 23:13 Also, the high places which were in Jerusalem, to the right side of the Mount of Offense, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built to Ashtoreth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offense of Moab, and to Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.2 Kings 23:13
2 Kings 23:14 And he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he filled their places with the bones of the dead.2 Kings 23:14
2 Kings 23:15 Then too, the altar which was in Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he tore down, and burned, and reduced to dust. And then he also set fire to the sacred grove.2 Kings 23:15
2 Kings 23:16 And in that place Josiah, turning, saw the sepulchers which were on the mount. And he sent and took the bones from the sepulchers. And he burned them upon the altar, and he defiled it in accord with the word of the Lord, which was spoken by the man of God, who had predicted these events.2 Kings 23:16
2 Kings 23:17 And he said, “What is that monument that I see?” And the citizens of that city responded to him: “It is the sepulcher of the man of God, who came from Judah, and who predicted these events, which you have carried out concerning the altar of Bethel.”2 Kings 23:17
2 Kings 23:18 And he said: “Permit him. Let no one move his bones.” And his bones have remained untouched, with the bones of the prophet who had arrived from Samaria.2 Kings 23:18
2 Kings 23:19 Then too, all the shines of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josiah took away. And he acted toward them according to all the works that he had done in Bethel.2 Kings 23:19
2 Kings 23:20 And all the priests of the high places, who were in that place, he killed upon the altars. And he burned the bones of the men upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.2 Kings 23:20
2 Kings 23:21 And he instructed all the people, saying: “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, according to what has been written in the book of this covenant.”2 Kings 23:21
2 Kings 23:22 Now no similar Passover was kept, from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, and from all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,2 Kings 23:22
2 Kings 23:23 as this Passover, which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.2 Kings 23:23
2 Kings 23:24 Then too, Josiah took away those who divined by spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images of the idols, and the defilements, and the abominations, which had been in the land of Judah and Jerusalem, so that he might establish the words of the law, which were written in the book, which Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord.2 Kings 23:24
2 Kings 23:25 There was no king before him similar to him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, in accord with the entire law of Moses. And after him, there rose up no one similar to him.2 Kings 23:25
2 Kings 23:26 Yet truly, the Lord did not turn away from the wrath of his great fury, his fury which was enraged against Judah because of the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.2 Kings 23:26
2 Kings 23:27 And so the Lord said: “And now I will remove Judah from my face, just as I removed Israel. And I will cast aside this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, about which I said: My name shall be there.”2 Kings 23:27
2 Kings 23:28 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?2 Kings 23:28
2 Kings 23:29 During his days, Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates. And king Josiah went out to meet him. And when he had seen him, he was killed at Megiddo.2 Kings 23:29
2 Kings 23:30 And his servants carried him dead from Megiddo. And they took him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah. And they anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.2 Kings 23:30
2 Kings 23:31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.2 Kings 23:31
2 Kings 23:32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.2 Kings 23:32
2 Kings 23:33 And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a penalty on the land: one hundred talents of silver, and one talent of gold.2 Kings 23:33
2 Kings 23:34 And Pharaoh Neco appointed Eliakim, the son of Josiah, as king in place of Josiah his father. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz away, and he brought him into Egypt, and there he died.2 Kings 23:34
2 Kings 23:35 Now Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had taxed the land, according to each one who would contribute by the command of Pharaoh. And he exacted both silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one according to his ability, so that he would give to Pharaoh Neco.2 Kings 23:35
2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah.2 Kings 23:36
2 Kings 23:37 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his fathers had done.2 Kings 23:37
2 Kings 24:1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.2 Kings 24:1
2 Kings 24:2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.2 Kings 24:2
2 Kings 24:3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,2 Kings 24:3
2 Kings 24:4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.2 Kings 24:4
2 Kings 24:5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.2 Kings 24:5
2 Kings 24:6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.2 Kings 24:6
2 Kings 24:7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.2 Kings 24:7
2 Kings 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.2 Kings 24:8
2 Kings 24:9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.2 Kings 24:9
2 Kings 24:10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.2 Kings 24:10
2 Kings 24:11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.2 Kings 24:11
2 Kings 24:12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.2 Kings 24:12
2 Kings 24:13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.2 Kings 24:13
2 Kings 24:14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.2 Kings 24:14
2 Kings 24:15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,2 Kings 24:15
2 Kings 24:16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.2 Kings 24:16
2 Kings 24:17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.2 Kings 24:17
2 Kings 24:18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.2 Kings 24:18
2 Kings 24:19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.2 Kings 24:19
2 Kings 24:20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.2 Kings 24:20
2 Kings 25:1 Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.2 Kings 25:1
2 Kings 25:2 And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,2 Kings 25:2
2 Kings 25:3 on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.2 Kings 25:3
2 Kings 25:4 And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.2 Kings 25:4
2 Kings 25:5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.2 Kings 25:5
2 Kings 25:6 Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.2 Kings 25:6
2 Kings 25:7 Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.2 Kings 25:7
2 Kings 25:8 In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.2 Kings 25:8
2 Kings 25:9 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.2 Kings 25:9
2 Kings 25:10 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.2 Kings 25:10
2 Kings 25:11 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.2 Kings 25:11
2 Kings 25:12 But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.2 Kings 25:12
2 Kings 25:13 Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.2 Kings 25:13
2 Kings 25:14 Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.2 Kings 25:14
2 Kings 25:15 And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,2 Kings 25:15
2 Kings 25:16 and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.2 Kings 25:16
2 Kings 25:17 One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.2 Kings 25:17
2 Kings 25:18 Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,2 Kings 25:18
2 Kings 25:19 and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.2 Kings 25:19
2 Kings 25:20 Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.2 Kings 25:20
2 Kings 25:21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.2 Kings 25:21
2 Kings 25:22 But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.2 Kings 25:22
2 Kings 25:23 And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.2 Kings 25:23
2 Kings 25:24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”2 Kings 25:24
2 Kings 25:25 But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.2 Kings 25:25
2 Kings 25:26 And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.2 Kings 25:26
2 Kings 25:27 Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.2 Kings 25:27
2 Kings 25:28 And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.2 Kings 25:28
2 Kings 25:29 And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.2 Kings 25:29
2 Kings 25:30 Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.2 Kings 25:30

2 Chronicles 18:8 Therefore, the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: “Quickly, summon Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”2 Chronicles 18:8

2 Chronicles 18:14 Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” And he responded to him: “Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.”2 Chronicles 18:14

2 Chronicles 18:30 Now the king of Syria had instructed the commanders of his horsemen, saying, “You shall not fight against the least or the greatest, but only against the king of Israel.”2 Chronicles 18:30
2 Chronicles 18:31 And so, when the leaders of the horsemen had seen Jehoshaphat, they said, “This one is the king of Israel.” And while fighting, they surrounded him. But he cried out to the Lord, and he assisted him, and he turned them away from him.2 Chronicles 18:31
2 Chronicles 18:32 For when the commanders of the horsemen had seen that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.2 Chronicles 18:32
2 Chronicles 18:33 Then it happened that one of the people shot an arrow indiscriminately, and it struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulder. And so he said to his chariot driver: “Turn your hand, and lead me away from the battle line. For I have been wounded.”2 Chronicles 18:33
2 Chronicles 18:34 And the fight ended on that day. But the king of Israel was standing in his chariot facing the Syrians, even until evening. And he died when the sun set.2 Chronicles 18:34

2 Chronicles 19:11 But Amariah, a priest and your high priest, shall preside over those things which pertain to God. Then Zebadiah, the son of Ishmael, who is a ruler in the house of Judah, shall be over those works that pertain to the office of the king. And you have before you the Levites as teachers. Be strengthened and act diligently, and the Lord will be with you for what is good.”2 Chronicles 19:11
2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said: “Pay attention, all of Judah, and you who live in Jerusalem, and you, king Jehoshaphat. Thus says the Lord to you: Do not be afraid. Neither should you be dismayed by this multitude. For the fight is not yours, but God’s.2 Chronicles 20:15
2 Chronicles 20:34 But the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel.2 Chronicles 20:34
2 Chronicles 20:35 After these things, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, formed a friendship with Ahaziah, the king of Israel, whose works were very impious.2 Chronicles 20:35
2 Chronicles 21:2 And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.2 Chronicles 21:2
2 Chronicles 21:6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For his wife was a daughter of Ahab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.2 Chronicles 21:6
2 Chronicles 21:8 In those days, Edom rebelled, so as not to be subject to Judah, and they appointed for themselves a king.2 Chronicles 21:8

2 Chronicles 21:13 but instead you have advanced along the paths of the kings of Israel, and you have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, imitating the fornication of the house of Ahab, and moreover, you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than you:2 Chronicles 21:13
2 Chronicles 21:17 And they ascended into the land of Judah. And they laid waste to it. And they despoiled all the substance that was found in the house of the king, including even his sons and wives. Neither did there remain for him any son, except Jehoahaz, who was the youngest born.2 Chronicles 21:17
2 Chronicles 21:20 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. And he did not walk uprightly. And they buried him in the City of David, yet truly, not in the sepulcher of the kings.2 Chronicles 21:20
2 Chronicles 22:1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.2 Chronicles 22:1
2 Chronicles 22:5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.2 Chronicles 22:5
2 Chronicles 22:6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.2 Chronicles 22:6
2 Chronicles 22:11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.2 Chronicles 22:11
2 Chronicles 23:3 Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons of David.2 Chronicles 23:3
2 Chronicles 23:5 One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.2 Chronicles 23:5
2 Chronicles 23:7 Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”2 Chronicles 23:7
2 Chronicles 23:9 And Jehoiada, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.2 Chronicles 23:9
2 Chronicles 23:10 And he positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.2 Chronicles 23:10
2 Chronicles 23:11 And they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”2 Chronicles 23:11
2 Chronicles 23:12 And when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple of the Lord.2 Chronicles 23:12
2 Chronicles 23:13 And when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”2 Chronicles 23:13
2 Chronicles 23:16 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.2 Chronicles 23:16
2 Chronicles 23:20 And he took the centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.2 Chronicles 23:20
2 Chronicles 24:6 And the king summoned Jehoiada, the leader, and he said to him: “Why was there no concern with you, so that you would compel the Levites to bring, from Judah and from Jerusalem, the money that was appointed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, so as to bring it, from the entire multitude of Israel, to the tabernacle of the testimony?2 Chronicles 24:6
2 Chronicles 24:8 Therefore, the king instructed, and they made an ark. And they placed it beside the gate of the house of the Lord, on the outside.2 Chronicles 24:8
2 Chronicles 24:11 And when it was time for them to bring the ark before the king by the hands of the Levites, for they saw that there was much money, the scribe of the king, and the one whom the high priest had appointed, entered. And they poured out the money that was in the ark. Then they carried the ark back to its place. And they did this on each day. And an immense sum of money was gathered.2 Chronicles 24:11
2 Chronicles 24:12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were in charge of the works of the house of the Lord. Then with it they hired hewers of stone, and artisans of every kind, so that they might repair the house of the Lord, and also so that the works of iron and of brass, which had begun to fall, would be reinforced.2 Chronicles 24:12
2 Chronicles 24:14 And when they had completed all the works, they brought the remaining part of the money before the king and Jehoiada. And from it, the vessels of the temple were made, for the ministry and for the holocausts, including bowls and other vessels of gold and silver. And holocausts were being offered in the house of the Lord continually, during all the days of Jehoiada.2 Chronicles 24:14
2 Chronicles 24:16 And they buried him in the City of David, with the kings, because he had done good to Israel and to his house.2 Chronicles 24:16
2 Chronicles 24:17 Then, after Jehoiada passed away, the leaders of Judah entered and reverenced the king. And he was enticed by their obsequiousness, and so he acquiesced to them.2 Chronicles 24:17
2 Chronicles 24:21 And gathering together against him, they stoned him, beside the place of the king, in the atrium of the house of the Lord.2 Chronicles 24:21
2 Chronicles 24:22 And king Joash did not remember the mercy with which Jehoiada, his father, had treated him; instead he put to death his son. And as he was dying, he said: “May the Lord see and take account.”2 Chronicles 24:22
2 Chronicles 24:23 And when a year had turned, the army of Syria ascended against him. And they went to Judah and Jerusalem. And they put to death all the leaders of the people. And they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.2 Chronicles 24:23
2 Chronicles 24:25 And upon departing, they left him greatly debilitated. Then his servants rose up against him, in vengeance for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest. And they killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.2 Chronicles 24:25
2 Chronicles 24:27 But concerning his sons, and the sum of money that had been amassed under him, and the repairing of the house of God, these things have been written more diligently in the book of kings. Then his son, Amaziah, reigned in his place.2 Chronicles 24:27
2 Chronicles 25:3 And when he saw himself to be strengthened in his rule, he cut the throats of the servants who had killed his father, the king.2 Chronicles 25:3
2 Chronicles 25:7 Then a man of God came to him, and he said: “O king, let not the army of Israel go forth with you. For the Lord is not with Israel, nor with all the sons of Ephraim.2 Chronicles 25:7
2 Chronicles 25:17 And so Amaziah, the king of Judah, undertaking a very wicked counsel, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, let us see one another.”2 Chronicles 25:17
2 Chronicles 25:21 And so Joash, the king of Israel, ascended, and they presented themselves within the sight of one another. Now Amaziah, the king of Judah, was in Beth-shemesh of Judah.2 Chronicles 25:21
2 Chronicles 25:23 Then Joash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and he led him to Jerusalem. And he destroyed its walls, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.2 Chronicles 25:23
2 Chronicles 25:25 Then Amaziah, the son of Joash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.2 Chronicles 25:25
2 Chronicles 25:26 Now the rest of the words of Amaziah, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.2 Chronicles 25:26
2 Chronicles 26:1 Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.2 Chronicles 26:1
2 Chronicles 26:2 He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.2 Chronicles 26:2
2 Chronicles 26:13 And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.2 Chronicles 26:13
2 Chronicles 26:18 withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”2 Chronicles 26:18
2 Chronicles 26:21 And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.2 Chronicles 26:21
2 Chronicles 27:5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.2 Chronicles 27:5
2 Chronicles 27:7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.2 Chronicles 27:7
2 Chronicles 28:2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he also cast statues for the Baals.2 Chronicles 28:2
2 Chronicles 28:5 And so the Lord, his God, delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who struck him and took great plunder from his kingdom. And he carried it away to Damascus. Also, he was delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, and he struck him with great affliction.2 Chronicles 28:5
2 Chronicles 28:7 In the same time, Zichri, a powerful man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king, and Azrikam, the governor of his house, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.2 Chronicles 28:7
2 Chronicles 28:16 In that time, king Ahaz sent to the king of the Assyrians, requesting assistance.2 Chronicles 28:16
2 Chronicles 28:19 For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz, the king of Judah, since he had stripped it of help, and had shown contempt for the Lord.2 Chronicles 28:19
2 Chronicles 28:20 And he led against him Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him and laid waste to him, without resistance.2 Chronicles 28:20
2 Chronicles 28:21 And so Ahaz, despoiling the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings and the leaders, gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it profited him nothing.2 Chronicles 28:21
2 Chronicles 28:22 Moreover, in the time of his anguish, he also added to his contempt against the Lord. King Ahaz himself, by himself,2 Chronicles 28:22
2 Chronicles 28:23 immolated victims to the gods of Damascus, those who had struck him. And he said: “The gods of the kings of Syria assist them, and so I will please them with victims, and they will help me.” But to the contrary, they had been the ruin of him and of all Israel.2 Chronicles 28:23
2 Chronicles 28:26 But the rest of his words, and all his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.2 Chronicles 28:26
2 Chronicles 28:27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the city of Jerusalem. And they did not allow him to be in the sepulchers of the kings of Israel. And his son, Hezekiah, reigned in his place.2 Chronicles 28:27
2 Chronicles 29:15 And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.2 Chronicles 29:15
2 Chronicles 29:18 Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,2 Chronicles 29:18
2 Chronicles 29:19 and all the equipment of the temple, which king Ahaz, during his reign, had polluted after his transgression. And behold, these have all been set forth before the altar of the Lord.”2 Chronicles 29:19
2 Chronicles 29:20 And rising up at first light, king Hezekiah joined as one all the leaders of the city, and they ascended to the house of the Lord.2 Chronicles 29:20
2 Chronicles 29:23 They brought the he-goats for sin before the king and the entire multitude. And they laid their hands upon them.2 Chronicles 29:23
2 Chronicles 29:24 And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.2 Chronicles 29:24
2 Chronicles 29:25 Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.2 Chronicles 29:25
2 Chronicles 29:27 And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.2 Chronicles 29:27
2 Chronicles 29:29 And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.2 Chronicles 29:29
2 Chronicles 30:2 Therefore, having taken counsel, the king and the rulers, and the entire assembly of Jerusalem, resolved that they would keep the Passover, in the second month.2 Chronicles 30:2
2 Chronicles 30:4 And the word was pleasing to the king, and to the entire multitude.2 Chronicles 30:4
2 Chronicles 30:6 And carriers traveled with the letters, by order of the king and his rulers, to all of Israel and Judah, proclaiming, in accord with what the king had ordered: “O sons of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel. And he will return to the remnant who escaped from the hand of the king of the Assyrians.2 Chronicles 30:6
2 Chronicles 30:12 Truly, the hand of God was working in Judah, to give them one heart, so that they would accomplish the word of the Lord, according to the precept of the king and of the rulers.2 Chronicles 30:12
2 Chronicles 30:24 For Hezekiah, the king of Judah, had offered to the multitude one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep. Truly, the rulers had given the people one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. Then a great mulititude of priests was sanctified.2 Chronicles 30:24
2 Chronicles 30:26 And there was a great celebration in Jerusalem, to such an extent as had not been in that city since the days of Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel.2 Chronicles 30:26
2 Chronicles 31:3 Now the portion of the king, from his own substance, was such that they could offer a holocaust always, in morning and in evening, also on the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the other solemnities, just as it was written in the law of Moses.2 Chronicles 31:3
2 Chronicles 31:13 And after him, there was Jehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asaahel, and Jerimoth, and also Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, who were overseers under the hands of Conaniah, and his brother, Shimei, by the authority of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the high priest of the house of God, to whom all these things belonged.2 Chronicles 31:13
2 Chronicles 32:1 After these things, and after this manner of truth, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians arrived. And entering Judah, he besieged the fortified cities, desiring to seize them.2 Chronicles 32:1
2 Chronicles 32:4 he gathered together a great multitude, and they obstructed all the springs, and the brook which was flowing through the midst of the land, saying: “Otherwise, the kings of the Assyrians might arrive and find an abundance of water.”2 Chronicles 32:4
2 Chronicles 32:7 “Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid. Neither should you dread the king of the Assyrians and the entire multitude that is with him. For many more are with us than with him.2 Chronicles 32:7
2 Chronicles 32:8 For with him is an arm of flesh; with us is the Lord our God, who is our helper, and who fights for us.” And the people were strengthened by this type of words from Hezekiah, the king of Judah.2 Chronicles 32:8
2 Chronicles 32:9 After these things, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he and his entire army were besieging Lachish) to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and to all the people who were in the city, saying:2 Chronicles 32:9
2 Chronicles 32:10 “Thus says Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians: In whom do you have faith, as you sit besieged in Jerusalem?2 Chronicles 32:10
2 Chronicles 32:11 Does not Hezekiah deceive you, so that he would deliver you to die from hunger and thirst, by affirming that the Lord your God will free you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?2 Chronicles 32:11
2 Chronicles 32:20 And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed against this blasphemy, and they cried out to heaven.2 Chronicles 32:20
2 Chronicles 32:21 And the Lord sent an Angel, who struck all the experienced men and warriors, and the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And he returned in disgrace to his own land. And when he had entered the house of his god, the sons who had gone forth from his loins killed him with the sword.2 Chronicles 32:21
2 Chronicles 32:22 And the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, and from the hand of all. And he presented to them peace on every side.2 Chronicles 32:22
2 Chronicles 32:23 And now many were bringing victims and sacrifices to the Lord in Jerusalem, and gifts to Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And after these things, he was exalted before all the nations.2 Chronicles 32:23
2 Chronicles 32:32 Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and his mercies, have been written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amos, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.2 Chronicles 32:32
2 Chronicles 33:11 Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.2 Chronicles 33:11
2 Chronicles 33:18 But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.2 Chronicles 33:18
2 Chronicles 33:25 But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.2 Chronicles 33:25
2 Chronicles 34:11 And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.2 Chronicles 34:11
2 Chronicles 34:16 Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.2 Chronicles 34:16
2 Chronicles 34:18 After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of the king,2 Chronicles 34:18
2 Chronicles 34:20 And he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:2 Chronicles 34:20
2 Chronicles 34:22 Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.2 Chronicles 34:22
2 Chronicles 34:24 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have read before the king of Judah.2 Chronicles 34:24
2 Chronicles 34:26 To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,2 Chronicles 34:26
2 Chronicles 34:28 For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.2 Chronicles 34:28
2 Chronicles 34:30 ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.2 Chronicles 34:30
2 Chronicles 35:3 Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.2 Chronicles 35:3
2 Chronicles 35:4 And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.2 Chronicles 35:4
2 Chronicles 35:7 After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.2 Chronicles 35:7
2 Chronicles 35:10 And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.2 Chronicles 35:10
2 Chronicles 35:15 Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.2 Chronicles 35:15
2 Chronicles 35:16 And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.2 Chronicles 35:16
2 Chronicles 35:18 There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.2 Chronicles 35:18
2 Chronicles 35:20 After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.2 Chronicles 35:20
2 Chronicles 35:21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”2 Chronicles 35:21
2 Chronicles 35:24 And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,2 Chronicles 35:24
2 Chronicles 35:27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.2 Chronicles 35:27
2 Chronicles 36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and they appointed him king in place of his father, in Jerusalem.2 Chronicles 36:1
2 Chronicles 36:3 Then the king of Egypt, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, removed him, and condemned the land to one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.2 Chronicles 36:3
2 Chronicles 36:4 And he appointed Eliakim, his brother, as king in his place, over Judah and Jerusalem. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Truly, he took Jehoahaz with him, and he led him away to Egypt.2 Chronicles 36:4
2 Chronicles 36:6 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans, ascended against him, and led him bound in chains to Babylon.2 Chronicles 36:6
2 Chronicles 36:8 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he worked, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then his son, Jehoiachin, reigned in his place.2 Chronicles 36:8
2 Chronicles 36:10 And when the course of a year had turned, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, carrying away, at the same time, the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord. Truly, he appointed his uncle, Zedekiah, as king over Judah and Jerusalem.2 Chronicles 36:10
2 Chronicles 36:13 Also, he withdrew from king Nebuchadnezzar, who had bound him by an oath to God, and he hardened his own neck and his own heart, so that he did not return to the Lord, the God of Israel.2 Chronicles 36:13
2 Chronicles 36:17 For he led over them the king of the Chaldeans. And he put to death their young men by the sword, in the house of his sanctuary. There was no pity for adolescents, nor virgins, nor the elderly, nor even for the disabled. Instead, he delivered them all into his hands.2 Chronicles 36:17
2 Chronicles 36:18 And all the vessels of the house of Lord, as much the greater as the lesser, and the treasures of the temple, and of the king and the rulers, he carried away to Babylon.2 Chronicles 36:18
2 Chronicles 36:20 If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command,2 Chronicles 36:20
2 Chronicles 36:22 Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:2 Chronicles 36:22
2 Chronicles 36:23 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth.

May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.”2 Chronicles 36:23

Bible passages with ‘King’ in the book Ezra
Ezra 1:1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:Ezra 1:1
Ezra 1:2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.Ezra 1:2
Ezra 1:7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.Ezra 1:7
Ezra 1:8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.Ezra 1:8
Ezra 2:1 Now these are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had transferred to Babylon, and who were returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each one to his own city.Ezra 2:1

Similarly, they gave food, and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians, so that they would bring cedar wood, from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, in accord with what had been commanded of them by Cyrus, the king of the Persians.Ezra 3:7
Ezra 3:10 And when the builders had founded the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their adornment with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, stood with cymbals, so that they might praise God by the hand of David, the king of Israel.Ezra 3:10
Ezra 4:2 And so, drawing near to Zerubbabel and to the leaders of the fathers, they said to them: “Let us build with you, for we seek your God just as you do. Behold, we have immolated victims to him from the days of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, who brought us here.”Ezra 4:2
Ezra 4:3 And Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the leaders of the fathers of Israel said to them: “It is not for you to build the house of our God with us. Instead, we alone shall build to the Lord our God, just as Cyrus, the king of the Persians, has commanded us.”Ezra 4:3
Ezra 4:5 Then they hired counselors against them, so that they might argue against their plan during all the days of Cyrus, king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius, king of the Persians.Ezra 4:5
Ezra 4:7 And so, in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, and Tabeel, and the others who were in their council wrote to Artaxerxes, king of the Persians. Now the letter of accusation was written in Syriac, and was being read in the Syrian language.Ezra 4:7
Ezra 4:8 Rehum, the commander, and Shimshai, the scribe, wrote one letter from Jerusalem to king Artaxerxes, in this manner:Ezra 4:8
Ezra 4:11 to king Artaxerxes. (This is a copy of the letter, which they sent to him.) Your servants, the men who are across the river, send a greeting.Ezra 4:11
Ezra 4:12 Let it be known to the king, that the Jews, who ascended from you to us, have arrived in Jerusalem, a rebellious and most wicked city, which they are building, constructing its ramparts and repairing the walls.Ezra 4:12
Ezra 4:13 And now let be it known to the king, that if this city will have been built up, and its walls repaired, they will not pay tribute, nor tax, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will affect even the kings.Ezra 4:13
Ezra 4:14 But, remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we are led to believe that it a crime to see the king harmed, we have therefore sent and reported to the king,Ezra 4:14
Ezra 4:15 so that you may search in the books of the histories of your fathers, and you may find written in the records, and you may know that this city is a rebellious city, and that it is harmful to the kings and the provinces, and that wars were incited within it from the days of antiquity. For which reason also, the city itself was destroyed.Ezra 4:15
Ezra 4:16 We report to the king that if this city will have been built, and its walls repaired, you will have no possession across the river.”Ezra 4:16
Ezra 4:17 The king sent word to Rehum, the commander, and to Shimshai, the scribe, and to the rest who were in their council, to the inhabitants of Samaria, and to the others across the river, offering a greeting and peace.Ezra 4:17
Ezra 4:19 And it was commanded by me, and they searched and found that this city, from the days of antiquity, has rebelled against the kings, and that seditions and battles have been incited within it.Ezra 4:19
Ezra 4:20 Then too, there have been very strong kings in Jerusalem, who also ruled over the entire region which is across the river. They have also taken tribute, and tax, and revenues.Ezra 4:20
Ezra 4:22 See to it that you are not negligent in fulfilling this, otherwise, little by little, the evil may increase against the kings.”Ezra 4:22
Ezra 4:23 And so a copy of the edict of king Artaxerxes was read before Rehum, the commander, and Shimshai, the scribe, and their counselors. And they went away hurriedly to Jerusalem, to the Jews. And they prohibited them by force and by strength.Ezra 4:23
Ezra 4:24 Then the work of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem was interrupted, and it did not resume until the second year of the reign of Darius, the king of the Persians.Ezra 4:24
Ezra 5:6 A copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor of the region beyond the river, and Shetharbozenai, and his counselors, the rulers who were beyond the river, sent to Darius the king.Ezra 5:6
Ezra 5:7 The word that they sent him was written in this way: “To Darius, the king of all peace.Ezra 5:7
Ezra 5:8 Let it be known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with rough stones, and with timber set into the walls. And this work is being built up diligently, and it increases by their hands.Ezra 5:8
Ezra 5:11 Then they responded a word to us in this manner, saying: ‘We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth. And we are building the temple that was constructed these many years before, and which a great king of Israel had built and constructed.Ezra 5:11
Ezra 5:12 But afterward, our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, so he delivered them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, the Chaldean. And he destroyed this house, and he transferred its people to Babylon.Ezra 5:12
Ezra 5:13 Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of Babylon, king Cyrus issued a decree, so that this house of God would be built.Ezra 5:13
Ezra 5:14 And now the vessels of gold and silver from the temple of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem, and which he had carried away to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one called Sheshbazzar, whom he also appointed as governor.Ezra 5:14
Ezra 5:17 Now then, if it seems good to the king, let him search in the king’s library, which is in Babylon, to see whether it was ordered by king Cyrus, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built. And may the will of the king be sent to us about this matter.”Ezra 5:17
Ezra 6:1 Then king Darius instructed, and they searched in the library of books that were deposited in Babylon.Ezra 6:1
Ezra 6:3 “In the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king decreed that the house of God, which is in Jerusalem, shall be built in the place where they immolate victims, and that they should set the foundations so as to support a height of sixty cubits and a width of sixty cubits,Ezra 6:3
Ezra 6:4 with three rows of rough stones, and so as to have rows of new timber, and that the expenses shall be given from the house of the king.Ezra 6:4
Ezra 6:10 And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and let them pray for the life of the king and for the lives of his sons.Ezra 6:10
Ezra 6:13 Therefore, Tattenai, the governor of the region beyond the river, and Shetharbozenai, and his counselors, in accord with what king Darius had instructed, diligently executed the same.Ezra 6:13
Ezra 6:14 Then the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, in accord with the prophecy of Haggai, the prophet, and Zechariah, the son of Iddo. And they built and constructed by the order of the God of Israel, and by the order of Cyrus and Darius, as well as Artaxerxes, the kings of the Persians.Ezra 6:14
Ezra 6:15 And they completed this house of God on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.Ezra 6:15
Ezra 6:22 and kept the solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with joy. For the Lord had made them joyful, and he had converted the heart of the king of Assur to them, so that he would assist their hands in the work of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel.Ezra 6:22
Ezra 7:1 Now after these things, during the reign of Artaxerxes, the king of the Persians, Ezra, the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,Ezra 7:1
Ezra 7:6 this same Ezra, ascended from Babylon; and he was a proficient scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God gave to Israel. And the king granted to him his every petition. For the hand of the Lord, his God, was over him.Ezra 7:6
Ezra 7:7 And some from the sons of Israel, and from the sons of the priests, and from the sons of the Levites, and from the singing men, and from the gatekeepers, and from the temple servants ascended to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of king Artaxerxes.Ezra 7:7
Ezra 7:8 And they arrived at Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the same seventh year of the king.Ezra 7:8
Ezra 7:11 Now this is a copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra, the priest, a scribe well-taught in the words and precepts of the Lord and in his ceremonies in Israel:Ezra 7:11
Ezra 7:12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra, the priest, a very learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven: a greeting.Ezra 7:12
Ezra 7:14 For you have been sent from the face of the king and his seven counselors, so that you may visit Judea and Jerusalem by the law of your God, which is in your hand,Ezra 7:14
Ezra 7:15 and so that you may carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.Ezra 7:15
Ezra 7:21 and by me. I, king Artaxerxes, have appointed and decreed to all the keepers of the public treasury, those who are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra, the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall ask of you, you shall provide it without delay,Ezra 7:21
Ezra 7:23 All that pertains to the rite of the God of heaven, let it be distributed scrupulously to the house of the God of heaven, lest perhaps he may become angry against the kingdom of the king and his sons.Ezra 7:23
Ezra 7:26 And any one who will not diligently keep the law of your God, and the law of the king, judgment shall be upon him, either to death, or to exile, or to the confiscation of his goods, or certainly to prison.”Ezra 7:26
Ezra 7:27 Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who has put this into the heart of the king, so that he may glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem.Ezra 7:27
Ezra 7:28 For he has turned his mercy toward me in the sight of the king, and his counselors, and all the powerful leaders of the king. And so, having been strengthened by the hand of the Lord, my God, which was upon me, I gathered together some of the leaders of Israel, those who were to go up with me.Ezra 7:28
Ezra 8:1 And so these are the leaders of the families, with their genealogy, of those who ascended with me from Babylon, during the reign of king Artaxerxes.Ezra 8:1
Ezra 8:22 For I was ashamed to petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”Ezra 8:22
Ezra 8:25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.Ezra 8:25
Ezra 8:36 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.Ezra 8:36
Ezra 9:7 from the days of our fathers. But also, we ourselves have sinned gravely, even to this day. And for our iniquities, we ourselves, and our kings and our priests, have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, and to the sword, and to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, just as it is also in this day.Ezra 9:7
Ezra 9:9 For we are servants, yet in our servitude our God has not forsaken us, but he has inclined mercy upon us in the sight of the king of the Persians, so that he may give us life, and may raise up the house of our God, and repair its desolations, and give us a hedge in Judah and Jerusalem.Ezra 9:9

Bible passages with ‘King’ in the book Esther
Esther 1:5 And when the days of the feast were nearly completed, he invited all the people, who had been found in Susa, from the greatest even to the least, and he commanded a feast to be prepared, for seven days, in the court of the garden and the arboretum, which had been planted by the care and by the hand of the king.Esther 1:5
Esther 1:8 Nor was anyone compelled to drink who was unwilling, but, just as the king had appointed, one of his nobles was set over each table, so that each one might select what he wanted.Esther 1:8
Esther 1:9 Likewise, Vashti the queen made a feast for the women, in the palace where king Artaxerxes was accustomed to stay the night.Esther 1:9
Esther 1:10 And so, on the seventh day, when the king was more cheerful, and, after excessive drinking, had become warmed with wine, he ordered Mehuman, and Biztha, and Harbona, and Bigtha, and Abagtha, and Zethar, and Charkas, seven eunuchs who served in his presence,Esther 1:10
Esther 1:11 to bring in queen Vashti before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to show her beauty to the whole people and to the leaders, for she was very beautiful.Esther 1:11
Esther 1:12 She refused, and she showed contempt towards the king’s command, which he had delivered to her by the eunuchs. Whereupon the king, being angry and inflamed with a very great fury,Esther 1:12
Esther 1:14 (but first and foremost were Carshena, and Shethar, and Admatha, and Tarshish, and Meres, and Marsena, and Memucan, seven rulers of the Persians as well as the Medes, who saw the face of the king and who were accustomed to sitting down first after him,)Esther 1:14
Esther 1:15 as to what sentence should fall upon Vashti the queen, who had refused to do the commandment of king Artaxerxes, which he had delivered to her by the eunuchs.Esther 1:15
Esther 1:16 And Memucan answered, in the hearing of the king as well as the rulers, “Queen Vashti has wounded not only the king, but also all the people and the leaders, who are in all the provinces of king Artaxerxes.Esther 1:16
Esther 1:18 And so, by this example all the wives of the leaders of the Persians and the Medes will belittle the authority of their husbands; therefore, the indignation of the king is just.Esther 1:18
Esther 1:19 If it pleases you, let an edict be sent out from your presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and the Medes, which it is forbidden to disregard, that Vashti shall no longer enter before the king, but let another, who is better than her, receive her queenship.Esther 1:19
Esther 1:21 His counsel pleased the king and the rulers, and the king acted according to the counsel of Memucan,Esther 1:21
Esther 2:1 And so, after this had been carried out, and the indignation of king Artaxerxes had subsided, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what had happened to her.Esther 2:1
Esther 2:2 And the servants of the king, and his ministers, said, “Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,Esther 2:2
Esther 2:4 And whoever among them all will please the king’s eyes, let her reign instead of Vashti.” The idea pleased the king, and so he ordered it to be done as they had suggested.Esther 2:4
Esther 2:6 who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon carried away Jeconiah king of Judah,Esther 2:6
Esther 2:12 But, when the time came for each in the line of young women to go in to the king, after everything had been completed concerning feminine grooming, the twelfth month had been reached, to the extent that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for another six months they used certain types of makeup and perfumes.Esther 2:12
Esther 2:13 And when they were going in to the king, whatever they requested to adorn themselves, they received, and when each was pleased with herself, having been prepared in the chamber of the women, she passed on to the king’s chamber.Esther 2:13
Esther 2:14 And whoever entered at evening, departed in the morning, and then from there she was led to the second house, which was under the hand of Shaashgaz the eunuch, who presided over the king’s concubines. Nor did she have the power to return again to the king, unless the king desired it and had summoned her by name.Esther 2:14
Esther 2:15 But, as the order continued to progress, the day arrived when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mordecai, whom he had adopted as his daughter, was required to go in to the king. She did not seek feminine ornaments, except that whatever Hegai the eunuch and keeper of the virgins chose, he gave her to adorn her. For she was very attractive, and her incredible beauty made her appear gracious and amiable in the eyes of all.Esther 2:15
Esther 2:16 And so she was led to the chamber of king Artaxerxes, in the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.Esther 2:16
Esther 2:17 And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favor and mercy in his eyes above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and he made her queen instead of Vashti.Esther 2:17
Esther 2:21 Therefore, at that time, when Mordecai was staying at the king’s gate, Bagatha and Thara, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were gatekeepers and who presided over the first entryway of the palace, were angry, and they decided to rise up against the king and kill him.Esther 2:21
Esther 2:22 But Mordecai did not keep this secret, and immediately he reported it to queen Esther, and she reported it to the king in Mordecai’s name, who had brought the matter to her.Esther 2:22
Esther 2:23 It was inquired into and discovered, and they were both hanged on a gallows. And it was committed to the histories and the chronicles which are delivered in the sight of the king.Esther 2:23
Esther 3:1 After this, king Artaxerxes exalted Haman, the son of Hammedatha, who was of Agag lineage, and he set his throne above all the rulers whom he had.Esther 3:1
Esther 3:8 And Haman said to king Artaxerxes, “There is a people dispersed throughout all the provinces of your kingdom and separated one from another, who make use of unusual laws and ceremonies, and who, in addition, show contempt for the king’s ordinances. And you know very well that it is not expedient for your kingdom that they should become insolent through independence.Esther 3:8
Esther 3:10 And so the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha, of Agag lineage, enemy of the Jews.Esther 3:10
Esther 3:12 And the scribes of the king were summoned, in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month. And it was written, as Haman had commanded, to all the king’s governors, and to the judges of the provinces, and to various peoples, so that each people could read and hear according to their various languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes. And the letters were sealed with his ring.Esther 3:12
Esther 3:13 These were sent by the king’s messengers to all the provinces, so as to kill and destroy all the Jews, from children all the way to the elderly, even little children and women, on one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to plunder their goods, even their necessities. And this was the text of the letter: “Artaxerxes, the great king from India all the way to Ethiopia, to the leaders and generals of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces, which are subject to his authority, greetings. Although I have reigned over many nations and subjugated the whole world under my realm, I was by no means willing to abuse the greatness of this power, but to govern my subjects with clemency and leniency, so that they would settle into a quiet life, apart from any terror, and delight in peace, as all mortals would choose to do. Yet, in asking my counselors how this might be able to be accomplished, one who excelled the others in wisdom and fidelity, and who was second after the king, named Haman, explained to me that there was a people, scattered throughout the whole world, that used strange laws, and, acting against the customs of all peoples, despised the commandments of kings and violated the harmony of all nations with their dissension. When we had learned this, seeing one nation rebellious against all mankind, having overthrown the usefulness of laws, and going against our orders, and disturbing the peace and harmony of the provinces subject to us, we commanded that whomever Haman, who is chief over all the provinces, and second after the king, and whom we honor in the place of a father, whomever he would point out should be destroyed by their enemies, with their wives and children, and that no one may take pity on them, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar of this present year, so that these guilty men, all on one day, may go down to the underworld, restoring to our empire the peace that they had disturbed.”Esther 3:13
Esther 3:15 The couriers, who had been sent, hurried to complete the king’s command, but the edict was hung up in Susa immediately. And the king and Haman celebrated a feast, while all the Jews in the city were weeping.Esther 3:15
Esther 4:5 And she sent for Hathach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to minister to her, and she instructed him to go to Mordecai and to discern from him why he was doing this.Esther 4:5
Esther 4:8 Also, he gave him a copy of the edict that was hanging up in Susa, so that he would show it to the queen and advise her to go in to the king and beg him on behalf of her people.Esther 4:8
Esther 4:9 And Hathach returned and informed Esther of all that Mordecai had said. “Remember,” he said, “the days of your lowliness, how you were nurtured as if in my hand, because Haman, who is second after the king, has spoken against us to death. And you must call upon the Lord, and speak with the king on our behalf, and free us from death.”Esther 4:9
Esther 4:11 “All the servants of the king and all the provinces that are under his realm understand that anyone, whether man or woman, who enters the king’s inner court, who has not been summoned, is immediately to be put to death without any delay, unless the king should happen to extend the golden scepter to him, as a sign of clemency, so that he will be able to live. How then can I go in to the king, when, for thirty days now, I have not been called to him?”Esther 4:11
Esther 4:14 For, if you remain silent now, the Jews will be delivered through some other opportunity, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for this reason, so that you would be prepared for such a time as this?” And he entrusted her (there was no question but that it was Mordecai) to go in to the king, and to petition on behalf of her people and her native land.Esther 4:14
Esther 4:16 “Go and gather together all the Jews whom you will find in Susa, and pray for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights, and I will fast with my handmaids similarly, and then I will go in to the king, doing what is against the law, not having been called, and so expose myself to mortal danger.”Esther 4:16
Esther 5:3 And the king said to her, “What do you wish, queen Esther? What is your request? Even if you ask for half of the kingdom, it will be given to you.”Esther 5:3
Esther 5:4 But she responded, “If it pleases the king, I beg you to come with me today, and Haman with you, to the feast that I have prepared.”Esther 5:4
Esther 5:5 And immediately the king said, “Call Haman quickly, so that he may obey Esther’s will. And so the king and Haman came to the feast, which the queen had prepared for them.Esther 5:5
Esther 5:6 And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine abundantly, “What are you asking for that should be given to you? And which things do you require? Even if you request half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.”Esther 5:6
Esther 5:8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfill my petition, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I have prepared for them, and tomorrow I will open my mind to the king.”Esther 5:8
Esther 5:11 And he explained to them the greatness of his riches, and the influence of his sons, and how, with such glory, the king had elevated him above all his rulers and servants.Esther 5:11
Esther 5:12 And after this, he said, “Also, queen Esther has called no one else to the feast with the king, except me. And I will be dining with the king again tomorrow.Esther 5:12
Esther 5:14 And Zeresh his wife and his other friends answered him, “Order a great beam to be prepared, having a height of fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, so that Mordecai may be hanged from it, and so you will go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This advice pleased him, and so he ordered a high cross to be prepared.Esther 5:14
Esther 6:1 The king passed that night without sleep, and so he ordered the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought to him. And when they were reading them before him,Esther 6:1
Esther 6:2 they came to that place where it had been written, how Mordecai had reported the treachery of Bigthan and Teresh the eunuchs, who desired to cut the throat of king Artaxerxes.Esther 6:2
Esther 6:3 When the king had heard this, he said, “What honor and reward has Mordecai been given for this fidelity?” His servants and ministers said to him, “He has received no compensation at all.”Esther 6:3
Esther 6:4 And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.Esther 6:4
Esther 6:5 The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”Esther 6:5
Esther 6:6 And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,Esther 6:6
Esther 6:7 answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,Esther 6:7
Esther 6:8 ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.Esther 6:8
Esther 6:9 And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’ ”Esther 6:9
Esther 6:10 And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”Esther 6:10
Esther 6:11 And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided to honor.”Esther 6:11
Esther 7:1 And so the king and Haman entered to drink with the queen.Esther 7:1
Esther 7:2 And the king said to her again on the second day, after he was warmed with wine, “What is your request, Esther, so that it may be given to you? And what do you want done? Even if you ask for half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.”Esther 7:2
Esther 7:3 She answered him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases you, spare my soul, I ask you, and spare my people, I beg you.Esther 7:3
Esther 7:4 For I and my people have been handed over to be crushed, to be slain, and to perish. And if we were only being sold as servants and slaves, the evil might be tolerable, and I would have mourned in silence. But now our enemy is one whose cruelty overflows upon the king.”Esther 7:4
Esther 7:5 And king Artaxerxes answered and said, “Who is this, and of what power, that he would dare to do these things?”Esther 7:5
Esther 7:6 And Esther said, “This is our most wicked enemy and foe: Haman!” Hearing this, Haman was suddenly dumbfounded, unable to bear the faces of the king and the queen.Esther 7:6
Esther 7:7 But the king, being angry, rose up and, from the place of the feast, entered into the arboretum of the garden. Haman likewise rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his soul, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.Esther 7:7
Esther 7:8 When the king returned from the arboretum of the garden and entered into the place of the feast, he found Haman collapsed on the couch on which Esther lay, and he said, “And now he wishes to oppress the queen, in my presence, in my house!” The word had not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.Esther 7:8
Esther 7:9 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs who stood in ministry to the king, said, “Behold the wood, which he had prepared for Mordecai, who spoke up on behalf of the king, stands in Haman’s house, having a height of fifty cubits.” The king said to him, “Hang him from it.”Esther 7:9
Esther 8:1 On that day king, Artaxerxes gave the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, to queen Esther, and Mordecai entered before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her paternal uncle.Esther 8:1
Esther 8:2 And the king took the ring, which he had ordered to be taken from Haman, and he handed it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over her house.Esther 8:2
Esther 8:5 And she said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his eyes, and my request is not seen to be disagreeable to him, I beg you that the former letters of Haman, the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he instructed them to be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be corrected by new letters.Esther 8:5
Esther 8:7 And king Artaxerxes answered Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “I have granted Haman’s house to Esther, and I have ordered him to be fastened to a cross, because he dared to lay hands on the Jews.Esther 8:7
Esther 8:11 The king commanded them to bring together the Jews throughout each city, and to instruct them to join together, so as to make a stand for their lives, and to execute and destroy all their enemies, with their wives and children and their entire houses, and to plunder their spoil.Esther 8:11
Esther 8:13 And such was the content of the letter, so that it would be made known in all lands and nations, which are subject to the authority of king Artaxerxes, that the Jews have been made ready to be vindicated of their enemies.Esther 8:13

And he commanded there to be two lots, one for the people of God and the other for all the nations. And both lots arrived at the day appointed before God, even from that past time, for all peoples.

And behold, all the leaders were sitting there: Elishama, the scribe, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the leaders.Jeremiah 36:12
Jeremiah 36:16 Therefore, when they had heard all the words, each one looked at his neighbor in astonishment, and they said to Baruch: “We ought to report all these words to the king.”Jeremiah 36:16
Jeremiah 36:20 And they entered to the king, in the court. Furthermore, they stored the volume in the treasury of Elishama, the scribe. And they announced all the words in the hearing of the king.Jeremiah 36:20
Jeremiah 36:21 And the king sent Jehudi to take the volume. And bringing it from the treasury of Elishama, the scribe, he read it in the hearing of the king and of all the leaders who were standing around the king.Jeremiah 36:21
Jeremiah 36:22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house, in the ninth month. And there was a hearth placed before him, filled with burning coals.Jeremiah 36:22
Jeremiah 36:24 And the king and all his servants, who had heard all these words, were not afraid, and they did not rend their garments.Jeremiah 36:24
Jeremiah 36:25 Yet truly, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah contradicted the king, so that he might not burn the book. But he did not listen to them.Jeremiah 36:25
Jeremiah 36:26 And the king instructed Jerahmeel, the son of Amelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, so that they would apprehend Baruch, the scribe, and Jeremiah, the prophet. But the Lord concealed them.Jeremiah 36:26
Jeremiah 36:27 And after the king had burned the volume and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying:Jeremiah 36:27
Jeremiah 36:28 “Again, take another volume and write in it all the former words, which were in the first volume that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.Jeremiah 36:28
Jeremiah 36:29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned that volume, saying: ‘Why have you written in it, announcing that the king of Babylon will advance quickly, and will devastate this land, and will cause both man and beast to cease from it?’Jeremiah 36:29
Jeremiah 36:30 Because of this, thus says the Lord against Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: There will be, from him, no one who may sit upon the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out: to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.Jeremiah 36:30
Jeremiah 36:32 Then Jeremiah took up another volume, and he gave it to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the scribe, who wrote in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned with fire. And moreover, there were many more words added than there had been before.Jeremiah 36:32
Jeremiah 37:1 And then king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned in place of Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, appointed him as king in the land of Judah.Jeremiah 37:1
Jeremiah 37:3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray to the Lord our God for us.”Jeremiah 37:3
Jeremiah 37:7 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: So shall you say to the king of Judah, who sent you to question me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which has gone forth in assistance to you, will return to their own land, into Egypt.Jeremiah 37:7
Jeremiah 37:17 Then Zedekiah the king, sending, took him out and questioned him secretly in his house, and he said: “Do you think that there is any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said: “There is.” And he said: “You will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.”Jeremiah 37:17
Jeremiah 37:18 And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah: “How have I sinned against you, or your servants, or your people, such that you would cast me into a house of imprisonment?Jeremiah 37:18
Jeremiah 37:19 Where are your prophets, who were prophesying to you, and who were saying: ‘The king of Babylon will not overwhelm you and this land?’Jeremiah 37:19
Jeremiah 37:20 Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king. Let my petition prevail in your sight. And do not send me back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”Jeremiah 37:20
Jeremiah 37:21 Then king Zedekiah instructed that Jeremiah be confined to the vestibule of the prison, and that they should give him a twist of bread daily, along with stew, until all the bread in the city had been consumed. And Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison.Jeremiah 37:21
Jeremiah 38:3 Thus says the Lord: This city will certainly be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”Jeremiah 38:3
Jeremiah 38:4 And the leaders said to the king: “We petition you to put this man to death. For he is deliberately weakening the hands of the men of war, who have remained in this city, and the hands of the people, by speaking to them with these words. For this man is certainly not seeking peace for this people, but evil.”Jeremiah 38:4
Jeremiah 38:5 And king Zedekiah said: “Behold, he is in your hands. For it is not fitting for the king to deny you anything.”Jeremiah 38:5
Jeremiah 38:7 Now Ebedmelech, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who was in the king’s house, heard that they had sent Jeremiah into the pit, and also that the king was sitting at the gate of Benjamin.Jeremiah 38:7
Jeremiah 38:8 And so Ebedmelech departed from the king’s house, and he spoke to the king, saying:Jeremiah 38:8
Jeremiah 38:9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have perpetrated against Jeremiah the prophet, casting him into the pit so that he would die there from famine. For there is no more bread in the city.”Jeremiah 38:9
Jeremiah 38:10 And so the king instructed Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying: “Take with you thirty men from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”Jeremiah 38:10
Jeremiah 38:14 And king Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him at the third gate, which was at the house of the Lord. And the king said to Jeremiah: “I will question you about a matter. You shall conceal nothing from me.”Jeremiah 38:14
Jeremiah 38:16 Then king Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah, secretly, saying: “As the Lord lives, who made this soul for us, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of those men who are seeking your life.”Jeremiah 38:16
Jeremiah 38:17 And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If, having set out, you go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. And you and your house will be safe.Jeremiah 38:17
Jeremiah 38:18 But if you will not go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire. And you will not escape from their hand.”Jeremiah 38:18
Jeremiah 38:19 And king Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “I am anxious, because of the Jews who have crossed over to the Chaldeans, lest perhaps I may be delivered into their hands, and they may abuse me.”Jeremiah 38:19
Jeremiah 38:22 Behold, all the women who remain in the house of the king of Judah will be led away to the rulers of the king of Babylon. And the women will say: ‘Your men of peacefulness have led you astray, and they have prevailed against you. They have immersed your feet in mud and have set them in a slippery place. And they have withdrawn from you.’Jeremiah 38:22
Jeremiah 38:23 And all your wives and your sons will be led away to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hands. Instead, you will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will burn this city with fire.”Jeremiah 38:23
Jeremiah 38:25 But if the leaders hear that I have spoken with you, and if they come to you, and say to you: ‘Tell us what you said to the king. Do not conceal it from us, and we will not put you to death. And tell us what the king said to you,’Jeremiah 38:25
Jeremiah 38:26 then you shall say to them: ‘I presented my supplication before the king, so that he would not order me to be led back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.’ ”Jeremiah 38:26
Jeremiah 38:27 Then all the leaders came to Jeremiah, and they questioned him. And he spoke to them in accord with all the words that the king had commanded him. And they withdrew from him, for they had learned nothing.Jeremiah 38:27
Jeremiah 39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, with his entire army, and they besieged it.Jeremiah 39:1

Jeremiah 39:4 And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, with all the men of war, had seen them, they fled. And they departed from the city at night, by way of the king’s garden, and through the gate which was between the two walls. And they departed along the way of the desert.Jeremiah 39:4
Jeremiah 39:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them. And they overtook Zedekiah in the plain of the desert of Jericho. And having captured him, they led him to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he declared a judgment against himJeremiah 39:5
Jeremiah 39:6 And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah, at Riblah, before his eyes. And the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.Jeremiah 39:6
Jeremiah 39:8 Also, the Chaldeans burned the house of the king and the house of the people with fire, and they overturned the wall of Jerusalem.Jeremiah 39:8
Jeremiah 39:11 Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:Jeremiah 39:11
Jeremiah 39:13 Therefore, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, sent, and Nebushazban, the chief eunuch, and Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon sent,Jeremiah 39:13
Jeremiah 40:5 And you may decline to come with me. For you may live with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah. Therefore, you may live with him in the midst of the people. And you may go wherever it will please you to go.” And the leader of the military also gave him foods and gifts, and he released him.Jeremiah 40:5
Jeremiah 40:7 And when all the leaders of the army, who had been dispersed throughout the regions, they and their associates, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, governor of the land, and that he had committed to him the men, and women, and children, and the poor of the land, who had not been carried away to Babylon,Jeremiah 40:7
Jeremiah 40:9 And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Live in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.Jeremiah 40:9
Jeremiah 40:11 So then, all the Jews, who were in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Idumea, and in all the regions, when they had heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them,Jeremiah 40:11
Jeremiah 40:14 And they said to him: “Know that Baalis, the king of the sons of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to strike down your life.” And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, did not believe them.Jeremiah 40:14
Jeremiah 41:1 And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.Jeremiah 41:1
Jeremiah 41:2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.Jeremiah 41:2
Jeremiah 41:9 Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.Jeremiah 41:9
Jeremiah 41:18 away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.Jeremiah 41:18
Jeremiah 42:11 Do not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you have dreaded with great fear. Do not dread him, says the Lord. For I am with you, so that I may accomplish your salvation, and so that I may rescue you from his hand.Jeremiah 42:11

Jeremiah 44:9 How could you have forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Judah, and the evils of their wives, and your own evils, and the evils of your own wives, which they have done in the land of Judah and in the regions of Jerusalem?Jeremiah 44:9
Jeremiah 44:17 But we will continue to do every word which proceeds from our own mouth, so that we sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and we pour out libations to her, just as we and our fathers have done, our kings and our leaders, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.Ezekiel 30:24
Ezekiel 30:25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.Ezekiel 30:25
Ezekiel 31:2 “Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?Ezekiel 31:2
Ezekiel 32:2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: You are like the lion of the Gentiles, and like the dragon that is in the sea. And you brandished a horn among your rivers, and you disturbed the waters with your feet, and you trampled upon their rivers.Ezekiel 32:2
Ezekiel 32:10 And I will cause many peoples to be stupefied over you. And their kings will be afraid, with great horror, over you, when my sword will begin to fly above their faces. And suddenly, they will be struck with astonishment, each one concerning his own life, on the day of their ruination.Ezekiel 32:10
Ezekiel 32:11 For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon will come to you.Ezekiel 32:11
Ezekiel 32:29 Idumea is in that place, with her kings and all her commanders, who with their army have been given to those who were slain by the sword. And they have slept with the uncircumcised and with those who descend into the pit.Ezekiel 32:29
Ezekiel 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be ruler over all. And they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any more into two kingdoms.Ezekiel 37:22
Ezekiel 37:24 And my servant David shall be the king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. They shall walk in my judgments, and they shall keep my commandments, and they shall do them.Ezekiel 37:24
Ezekiel 43:7 said to me: “Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the steps of my feet, is where I live: in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no longer defile my holy name by their fornications, and by the ruinous ways of their kings, and by exalted places.Ezekiel 43:7
Ezekiel 43:9 Now therefore, let them drive away their fornications, and the ruinous ways of their kings, from before me. And I will live in their midst forever.Ezekiel 43:9

Bible passages with ‘King’ in the book Daniel
Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.Daniel 1:1
Daniel 1:2 And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim the king of Judah and a portion of the vessels of the house of God. And he carried them away into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure chamber of his god.Daniel 1:2
Daniel 1:3 And the king told Ashpenaz, the chief of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the sons of Israel, and some of the offspring of the king and of the sovereigns:Daniel 1:3
Daniel 1:4 young men, in whom there was no blemish, noble in appearance, and accomplished in all wisdom, cautious in knowledge, and well-educated, and who could stand in the palace of the king, so that he might teach them the letters and the language of the Chaldeans.Daniel 1:4
Daniel 1:5 And the king appointed for them provisions for each day, from his own food and from the wine which he himself drank, so that, after being nourished for three years, they would stand in the sight of the king.Daniel 1:5
Daniel 1:10 And the leader of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed food and drink for you, who, if he should see that your faces are leaner than those of the other youths your age, you would condemn my head to the king.”Daniel 1:10
Daniel 1:18 And when the time was completed, after which the king had said that they would be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before the sight of Nebuchadnezzar.Daniel 1:18
Daniel 1:19 And, when the king conversed with them, there had not been found any so great in all the world as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; and so they stood in the sight of the king.Daniel 1:19
Daniel 1:20 And in every concept of wisdom and understanding, about which the king consulted with them, he found them to be ten times better than all the seers and astrologers put together, who were in his entire kingdom.Daniel 1:20
Daniel 1:21 And so Daniel remained, even until the first year of king Cyrus.Daniel 1:21
Daniel 2:2 Yet the king commanded that the seers, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be gathered together to reveal to the king his dreams. When they arrived, they stood in front of the king.Daniel 2:2
Daniel 2:3 And the king said to them, “I saw a dream, and, being confused in mind, I do not know what I saw.”Daniel 2:3
Daniel 2:4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac, “O king, live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”Daniel 2:4
Daniel 2:5 And in answer, the king said to the Chaldeans, “The memory of it has slipped away from me. Unless you reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be put to death, and your houses will be confiscated.Daniel 2:5
Daniel 2:7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”Daniel 2:7
Daniel 2:8 The king answered and said, “I am certain that you are stalling for time because you know that the memory of it has slipped away from me.Daniel 2:8
Daniel 2:10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.Daniel 2:10
Daniel 2:11 For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”Daniel 2:11
Daniel 2:12 When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.Daniel 2:12
Daniel 2:15 And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,Daniel 2:15
Daniel 2:16 Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.Daniel 2:16
Daniel 2:24 After this, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke to him in this way, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will explain the solution to the king.”Daniel 2:24
Daniel 2:25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel to the king, and he said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the transmigration of Judah, who would announce the solution to the king.”Daniel 2:25
Daniel 2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Do you really think that you can reveal to me the dream that I saw and its interpretation?”Daniel 2:26
Daniel 2:27 And Daniel, facing the king, answered and said, “The secret that the king seeks, the wise men, the seers, and the soothsayers are unable to reveal to the king.Daniel 2:27
Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has revealed to you, king Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the latter times. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed, are such as these.Daniel 2:28
Daniel 2:29 You, O king, began to think, while in your blanket, about what will be hereafter. And he who reveals secrets showed you what will happen.Daniel 2:29
Daniel 2:30 To me, likewise, this mystery is revealed, not according to the wisdom that is in me more than in other living things, but so that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and so that you may know the thoughts of your mind.Daniel 2:30
Daniel 2:31 You, O king, saw, and behold, something like a great statue. This statue, which was great and high, stood exalted above you, and you considered how terrible it was.Daniel 2:31
Daniel 2:36 This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.Daniel 2:36
Daniel 2:37 You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,Daniel 2:37
Daniel 2:45 In accordance with what you saw, because the stone was torn away from the mountain without hands, and it crushed the earthenware, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God has shown the king what will happen after this. And the dream is true, and its interpretation is faithful.”Daniel 2:45
Daniel 2:46 Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and adored Daniel, and he commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.Daniel 2:46
Daniel 2:47 And so the king spoke with Daniel and said, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and also a revealer of secrets, since you could uncover this mystery.”Daniel 2:47
Daniel 2:48 Then the king raised Daniel to a high rank and gave him many great gifts, and he appointed him as leader over all the provinces of Babylon and as chief of the magistrates over all the other wise men of Babylon.Daniel 2:48
Daniel 2:49 However, Daniel required of the king that he appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon. But Daniel himself was at the king’s door.Daniel 2:49
Daniel 3:2 Then king Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather together the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and commanders, and all the leaders of the regions, to come together for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised.Daniel 3:2
Daniel 3:3 Then the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and nobles, who were appointed to power, and all the leaders of the regions were brought together so as to convene for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised. And so they stood before the statue that king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.Daniel 3:3
Daniel 3:5 that in the hour when you will hear the sound of the trumpet and the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, you must fall down and adore the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar has set up.Daniel 3:5
Daniel 3:7 After this, therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, all the peoples, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.Daniel 3:7
Daniel 3:9 and they said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever.Daniel 3:9
Daniel 3:10 You, O king, have established a decree, so that every man who might hear the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, will prostrate himself and adore the gold statue.Daniel 3:10
Daniel 3:12 Yet there are influential Jews, whom you have appointed over the works of the region of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have scorned your decree. They do not worship your gods, and they do not adore the gold statue which you have raised up.”Daniel 3:12
Daniel 3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in fury and in wrath, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego should be brought, and so, without delay, they were brought before the king.Daniel 3:13
Daniel 3:14 And king Nebuchadnezzar addressed them and said, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the gold statue, which I have set up?Daniel 3:14
Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.Daniel 3:16
Daniel 3:17 For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to rescue us from the oven of burning fire and to free us from your hands, O king.Daniel 3:17
Daniel 3:18 But even if he will not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not worship your gods, nor adore the gold statue, which you have raised up.”Daniel 3:18
Daniel 3:23 But these three men, that is, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, having been bound, fell down in the middle of the oven of burning fire. And they were walking in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord. Then Azariah, while standing, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and your name is praiseworthy and glorious for all ages. For you are just in all the things that you have accomplished for us, and all your works are true, and your ways are right, and all your judgments are true. For you have made equally true judgments in all the things that you have brought upon us and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers. For in truth and in judgment, you have brought down all these things because of our sins. For we have sinned, and we have committed iniquity in withdrawing from you, and we have offended in all things. And we have not listened to your precepts, nor have we observed or done as you have ordered us, so that it might go well with us. Therefore, everything that you have brought upon us, and all that you have done for us, you have done in true judgment. And you have delivered us into the hands of our enemies: traitors, unjust and most wicked, and to a king, unjust and most wicked, even more so than all others on earth. And now we are not able to open our mouths. We have become a shame and a disgrace to your servants and to those who worship you. Do not hand us over forever, we ask you, because of your name, and do not abolish your covenant. And do not withdraw your mercy from us, because of Abraham, your beloved, and Isaac, your servant, and Israel, your holy one. You have spoken with them, promising that you would multiply their offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore. For we, O Lord, are diminished more than all other peoples, and we are brought low throughout all the earth, this day, because of our sins. Neither is there, at this time, a leader, or a ruler, or a prophet, nor any holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits, in your eyes, so that we may be able to find your mercy. Nevertheless, with a contrite soul and humble spirit, let us be accepted. Just as in the holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, in order to please you. For there is no shame for those who trust in you. And now we follow you wholeheartedly, and we fear you, and we seek your face. Do not put us to shame, but deal with us in agreement with your clemency and according to the multitude of your mercies. And rescue us by your wonders and give glory to your name, O Lord. And let all those be confounded who lead your servants towards evil. May they be confounded by all your power and may their strength be crushed. And may they know that you are the Lord, the only God, and glorious above the world.” And they did not cease, those attendants of the king who had cast them in, to heat the furnace with oil, and flax, and pitch, and brush. And the flame streamed forth above the furnace for forty-nine cubits. And the fire erupted and burnt those of the Chaldeans within its reach near the furnace. But the angel of the Lord descended with Azariah and his companions into the furnace; and he cast the flame of the fire out of the furnace. And he made the middle of the furnace like the blowing of a damp wind, and the fire did not touch them, nor afflict them, nor bother them at all. Then these three, as if with one voice, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying: “Blessed are you, Lord, God of our fathers: praiseworthy, and glorious, and exalted above all forever. And blessed is the holy name of your glory: praiseworthy, and exalted above all, for all ages. Blessed are you in the holy temple of your glory: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever. Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever. Blessed are you who beholds the abyss and sits upon the cherubims: praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven: praiseworthy and glorious forever. All works of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Heaven, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. All waters that are above the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. All powers of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Sun and moon, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Stars of heaven, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Every rain and dew, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Every breath of God, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Fire and steam, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Cold and heat, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Dews and frost, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Sleet and winter, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Ice and snow, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Nights and days, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Light and darkness, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Lightning and clouds, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. May the land bless the Lord: and praise and exalt him above all forever. Mountains and hills, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. All things that grow in the land, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Fountains, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Seas and rivers, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Whales and all things that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. All things that fly in the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. All beasts and cattle, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Sons of men, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. May Israel bless the Lord: and praise and exalt him above all forever. Priests of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Servants of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Those who are holy and humble in heart, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Hananiah, Azariah, Mishael, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. For he has delivered us from the underworld, and saved us from the hand of death, and freed us from the midst of the burning flame, and rescued us from the midst of the fire. Give thanks to the Lord because he is good: because his mercy is forever. All those who are pious, bless the Lord, the God of gods: praise him and acknowledge him because his mercy is for all generations.”Daniel 3:23
Daniel 3:24 Then king Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and he quickly got up and said to his nobles: “Did we not cast three men shackled into the midst of the fire?” Answering the king, they said, “True, O king.”Daniel 3:24
Daniel 3:27 And when the governors, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the powerful of the king had gathered together, they considered these men because the fire had no power against their bodies, and not a hair of their head had been scorched, and their pants had not been affected, and the smell of the fire had not passed onto them.Daniel 3:27
Daniel 3:28 Then Nebuchadnezzar, bursting out, said, “Blessed is their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who believed in him. And they altered the verdict of the king, and they delivered up their bodies, so that they would not serve or adore any god except their God.Daniel 3:28
Daniel 3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.Daniel 3:30
Daniel 4:1 NEBUCHADNEZZAR, the king, to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in the whole world, may peace be increased with you.Daniel 4:1
Daniel 4:18 I, king Nebuchadnezzar, saw this dream. And so you, Belteshazzar, must quickly explain to me the interpretation because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me. But you are able because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.Daniel 4:18
Daniel 4:19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. But the king responded, saying, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation disturb you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate you, and its interpretation may be for your enemies.Daniel 4:19
Daniel 4:22 It is you, O king, who has been greatly esteemed, and you have grown strong. And you have increased your power, and it reaches towards heaven, and your rule is to the ends of the whole earth.Daniel 4:22
Daniel 4:23 Yet the king also saw a watcher and a holy one descend from heaven and say: ‘Cut down the tree and scatter it; however, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the surrounding plants, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, until seven periods of time pass over him.’Daniel 4:23
Daniel 4:24 This is the interpretation of the judgment of the Most High, which has reached my lord, the king.Daniel 4:24
Daniel 4:27 Because of this, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercy towards the poor. Perhaps he will forgive your offenses.”Daniel 4:27
Daniel 4:28 All these things came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.Daniel 4:28
Daniel 4:30 And the king spoke out loud, saying, “Isn’t this the great Babylon, which I have built, as the home of the kingdom, by the strength of my power and in the glory of my excellence?”Daniel 4:30
Daniel 4:31 And while the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven, “To you, O king Nebuchadnezzar, it is said: ‘Your kingdom will be taken away from you,Daniel 4:31
Daniel 4:37 Therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven, because all his works and the judgments of his way are true, and those who go forth in arrogance, he is able to bring low.Daniel 4:37
Daniel 5:1 Belshazzar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and each one of them drank according to his age.Daniel 5:1
Daniel 5:2 And so, when they were drunk, he instructed that the vessels of gold and silver should be brought, which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had carried away from the temple, which was in Jerusalem, so that the king, and his nobles, and his wives, and the concubines, might drink from them.Daniel 5:2
Daniel 5:3 Then the gold and silver vessels were presented, which he had carried away from the temple and which had been in Jerusalem, and the king, and his nobles, wives, and concubines, drank from them.Daniel 5:3
Daniel 5:5 In the same hour, there appeared fingers, as of the hand of a man, writing on the surface of the wall, opposite the candlestick, in the king’s palace. And the king observed the part of the hand that wrote.Daniel 5:5
Daniel 5:7 And the king cried out loudly for them to bring in the astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. And the king proclaimed to the wise men of Babylon, saying, “Whoever will read this writing and make known to me its interpretation will be clothed with purple, and will have a golden chain on his neck, and will be third in my kingdom.”Daniel 5:7
Daniel 5:8 Then, in came all the wise men of the king, but they could neither read the writing, nor reveal the interpretation to the king.Daniel 5:8
Daniel 5:9 Therefore, king Belshazzar was quite confused, and his face was altered, and even his nobles were disturbed.Daniel 5:9
Daniel 5:10 But the queen, because of what had happened to the king and his nobles, entered the banquet house. And she spoke out, saying, “O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts confuse you, neither should your face be altered.Daniel 5:10
Daniel 5:11 There is a man in your kingdom, who has the spirit of the holy gods within himself, and in the days of your father, knowledge and wisdom were found in him. For king Nebuchadnezzar, your father, appointed him leader of the astrologers, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, even your father, I say to you, O king.Daniel 5:11
Daniel 5:12 For a greater spirit, and foresight, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and the revealing of secrets, and the solution to difficulties were found in him, that is, in Daniel, to whom the king gave the name Belteshazzar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be summoned, and he will explain the interpretation.”Daniel 5:12
Daniel 5:13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke to him, saying, “Are you Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king led out of Judea?Daniel 5:13
Daniel 5:17 To this Daniel responded by saying directly to the king, “Your rewards should be for yourself, and the gifts of your house you may give to another, but I will read to you the writing, O king, and I will reveal to you its interpretation.Daniel 5:17
Daniel 5:18 O king, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, a kingdom and greatness, glory and honor.Daniel 5:18
Daniel 5:30 That same night, king Belshazzar the Chaldean was killed.Daniel 5:30
Daniel 6:2 And over these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble.Daniel 6:2
Daniel 6:4 Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was found in him.Daniel 6:4
Daniel 6:6 Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.Daniel 6:6
Daniel 6:7 All the leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions.Daniel 6:7
Daniel 6:8 Now, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.”Daniel 6:8
Daniel 6:9 And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.Daniel 6:9
Daniel 6:12 And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.”Daniel 6:12
Daniel 6:13 Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.”Daniel 6:13
Daniel 6:14 Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset to rescue him.Daniel 6:14
Daniel 6:15 But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.”Daniel 6:15
Daniel 6:16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. And the king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he himself will free you.”Daniel 6:16
Daniel 6:17 And a stone was brought, and it was placed over the mouth of the den, which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, so that no one would act against Daniel.Daniel 6:17
Daniel 6:18 And the king departed into his house, and he went to bed without eating, and food was not set before him, moreover, even sleep fled from him.Daniel 6:18
Daniel 6:19 Then the king, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to the den of lions.Daniel 6:19
Daniel 6:21 And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.Daniel 6:21
Daniel 6:22 My God has sent his angel, and he has closed the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me, because before him justice has been found in me, and, even before you, O king, I have committed no offense.”Daniel 6:22
Daniel 6:23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den. And Daniel was taken out of the den, and no wound was found in him, because he believed in his God.Daniel 6:23
Daniel 6:24 Moreover, by order of the king, those men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the lions’ den, they, and their sons, and their wives, and they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions seized them and crushed all their bones.Daniel 6:24
Daniel 6:25 Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with you.Daniel 6:25
