his upper chamber that was in ,samaria1 and was sick3 and he sent messengers1 and said to them1 ,go1 inquire of ,baal ,zebub1 the god of ,ekron1 whether ,i shall recover of this sickness4 #jja3jjc ,but the angel of ,yahweh said to ,elijah the ,tishbite1 ,arise1 go up to meet the messengers of the king of ,samaria1 and tell them1 ,is it because there is no ,god in ,israel1 that you go to inquire of ,baal ,zebub1 the god of ,ekron8 #jja3jjd ,now therefore thus says ,yahweh1 ,you shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up1 but shall surely die4 ,elijah departed4 #jja3jje ,the messengers returned to him1 and he said to them1 ,why is it that you have returned8 #jja3jjf ,they said to him1 ,there came up a man to meet us1 and said to us1 ,go1 turn again to the king who sent you1 and tell him1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,is it because there is no ,god in ,israel1 that you send to inquire of ,baal ,zebub1 the god of ,ekron8 therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up1 but shall surely die4 #jja3jjg ,he said to them1 ,what manner of man was he who came up to meet you1 and told you these words8 #jja3jjh ,they answered him1 ,he was a hairy man1 and girt with a belt of leather about his waist4 ,he said1 ,it is ,elijah the ,tishbite4 #jja3jji ,then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty4 ,he went up to him3 and behold1 he was sitting on the top of the hill4 ,he spoke to him1 man of ,god1 the king has said1 ,come down4 #jja3jaj ,elijah answered to the captain of fifty1 ,if ,i be a man of ,god1 let fire come down from the sky1 and consume you and your fifty4 ,fire came down from the sky1 and consumed him and his fifty4 #jja3jaa ,again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty4 ,he answered him1 man of ,god1 thus has the king said1 ,come down quickly4 #jja3jab ,elijah answered them1 ,if ,i be a man of ,god1 let fire come down from the sky1 and consume you and your fifty4 ,the fire of ,god came down from the sky1 and consumed him and his fifty4 #jja3jac ,again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty4 ,the third captain of fifty went up1 and came and fell on his knees before ,elijah1 and begged him1 and said to him1 man of ,god1 please let my life1 and the life of these fifty your servants1 be precious in your sight4 #jja3jad ,behold1 fire came down from the sky1 and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties2 but now let my life be precious in your sight4 #jja3jae ,the angel of ,yahweh said to ,elijah1 ,go down with him3 don't be afraid of him4 ,he arose1 and went down with him to the king4 #jja3jaf ,he said to him1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,because you have sent messengers to inquire of ,baal ,zebub1 the god of ,ekron1 is it because there is no ,god in ,israel to inquire of his word8 therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up1 but shall surely die4 #jja3jag ,so he died according to the word of ,yahweh which ,elijah had spoken4 ,jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of ,jehoram the son of ,jehoshaphat king of ,judah2 because he had no son4 #jja3jah ,now the rest of the acts of ,ahaziah which he did1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,israel8 #jjb3jja ,it happened1 when ,yahweh would take up ,elijah by a whirlwind into heaven1 that ,elijah went with ,elisha from ,gilgal4 #jjb3jjb ,elijah said to ,elisha1 ,please wait here1 for ,yahweh has sent me as far as ,bethel4 ,elisha said1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 and as your soul lives1 ,i will not leave you4 ,so they went down to ,bethel4 #jjb3jjc ,the sons of the prophets who were at ,bethel came forth to ,elisha1 and said to him1 ,do you know that ,yahweh will take away your master from your head today8 ,he said1 ,yes1 ,i know it2 hold your peace4 #jjb3jjd ,elijah said to him1 ,elisha1 please wait here1 for ,yahweh has sent me to ,jericho4 ,he said1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 and as your soul lives1 ,i will not leave you4 ,so they came to ,jericho4 #jjb3jje ,the sons of the prophets who were at ,jericho came near to ,elisha1 and said to him1 ,do you know that ,yahweh will take away your master from your head today8 ,he answered1 ,yes1 ,i know it4 ,hold your peace4 #jjb3jjf ,elijah said to him1 ,please wait here1 for ,yahweh has sent me to the ,jordan4 ,he said1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 and as your soul lives1 ,i will not leave you4 ,they two went on4 #jjb3jjg ,fifty men of the sons of the prophets went1 and stood over against them afar off3 and they two stood by the ,jordan4 #jjb3jjh ,elijah took his mantle1 and wrapped it together1 and struck the waters1 and they were divided here and there1 so that they two went over on dry ground4 #jjb3jji ,it happened1 when they had gone over1 that ,elijah said to ,elisha1 ,ask what ,i shall do for you1 before ,i am taken from you4 ,elisha said1 please let a double portion of your spirit be on me4 #jjb3jaj ,he said1 ,you have asked a hard thing3 nevertheless1 if you see me when ,i am taken from you1 it shall be so to you2 but if not1 it shall not be so4 #jjb3jaa ,it happened1 as they still went on1 and talked1 that behold1 there appeared a chariot of fire1 and horses of fire1 which parted them both apart2 and ,elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven4 #jjb3jab ,elisha saw it1 and he cried1 ,my father1 my father1 the chariots of ,israel and the horsemen of it6 ,he saw him no more3 and he took hold of his own clothes1 and tore them in two pieces4 #jjb3jac ,he took up also the mantle of ,elijah that fell from him1 and went back1 and stood by the bank of the ,jordan4 #jjb3jad ,he took the mantle of ,elijah that fell from him1 and struck the waters1 and said1 ,where is ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,elijah8 and when he also had struck the waters1 they were divided here and there2 and ,elisha went over4 #jjb3jae ,when the sons of the prophets who were at ,jericho over against him saw him1 they said1 ,the spirit of ,elijah does rest on ,elisha4 ,they came to meet him1 and bowed themselves to the ground before him4 #jjb3jaf ,they said to him1 ,see now1 there are with your servants fifty strong men2 let them go1 we pray you1 and seek your master1 lest the ,spirit of ,yahweh has taken him up1 and cast him on some mountain1 or into some valley4 ,he said1 ,you shall not send4 #jjb3jag ,when they urged him until he was ashamed1 he said1 ,send4 ,they sent therefore fifty men2 and they sought three days1 but didn't find him4 #jjb3jah ,they came back to him1 while he stayed at ,jericho2 and he said to them1 ,didn't ,i tell you1 ',don't go8' #jjb3jai ,the men of the city said to ,elisha1 ,behold1 we pray you1 the situation of this city is pleasant1 as my lord sees3 but the water is bad1 and the land miscarries4 #jjb3jbj ,he said1 ,bring me a new jar1 and put salt therein4 ,they brought it to him4 #jjb3jba ,he went forth to the spring of the waters1 and cast salt therein1 and said1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,i have healed these waters2 there shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying4 #jjb3jbb ,so the waters were healed to this day1 according to the word of ,elisha which he spoke4 #jjb3jbc ,he went up from there to ,bethel2 and as he was going up by the way1 some youths came out of the city and mocked him1 and said to him1 ,go up1 you baldy2 go up1 you baldhead4 #jjb3jbd ,he looked behind him and saw them1 and cursed them in the name of ,yahweh4 ,two female bears came out of the woods1 and mauled forty-two of those youths4 #jjb3jbe ,he went from there to ,mount ,carmel1 and from there he returned to ,samaria4 #jjc3jja ,now ,jehoram the son of ,ahab began to reign over ,israel in ,samaria in the eighteenth year of ,jehoshaphat king of ,judah1 and reigned twelve years4 #jjc3jjb ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 but not like his father1 and like his mother2 for he put away the pillar of ,baal that his father had made4 #jjc3jjc ,nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of ,jeroboam the son of ,nebat1 with which he made ,israel to sin2 he didn't depart from it4 #jjc3jjd ,now ,mesha king of ,moab was a sheep breeder2 and he rendered to the king of ,israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs1 and of one hundred thousand rams4 #jjc3jje ,but it happened1 when ,ahab was dead1 that the king of ,moab rebelled against the king of ,israel4 #jjc3jjf ,king ,jehoram went out of ,samaria at that time1 and mustered all ,israel4 #jjc3jjg ,he went and sent to ,jehoshaphat the king of ,judah1 saying1 ,the king of ,moab has rebelled against me3 will you go with me against ,moab to battle8 ,he said1 ,i will go up3 ,i am as you are1 my people as your people1 my horses as your horses4 #jjc3jjh ,he said1 ,which way shall we go up8 ,he answered1 ,the way of the wilderness of ,edom4 #jjc3jji ,so the king of ,israel went1 and the king of ,judah1 and the king of ,edom2 and they made a circuit of seven days' journey3 and there was no water for the army1 nor for the animals that followed them4 #jjc3jaj ,the king of ,israel said1 ,alas6 for ,yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of ,moab4 #jjc3jaa ,but ,jehoshaphat said1 ,isn't there here a prophet of ,yahweh1 that we may inquire of ,yahweh by him8 ,one of the king of ,israel's servants answered1 ,elisha the son of ,shaphat is here1 who poured water on the hands of ,elijah4 #jjc3jab ,jehoshaphat said1 ,the word of ,yahweh is with him4 ,so the king of ,israel and ,jehoshaphat and the king of ,edom went down to him4 #jjc3jac ,elisha said to the king of ,israel1 ,what have ,i to do with you8 get you to the prophets of your father1 and to the prophets of your mother4 ,the king of ,israel said to him1 ,no2 for ,yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of ,moab4 #jjc3jad ,elisha said1 ,as ,yahweh of ,armies lives1 before whom ,i stand1 surely1 were it not that ,i regard the presence of ,jehoshaphat the king of ,judah1 ,i would not look toward you1 nor see you4 #jjc3jae ,but now bring me a minstrel4 ,it happened1 when the minstrel played1 that the hand of ,yahweh came on him4 #jjc3jaf ,he said1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,make this valley full of trenches4 #jjc3jag ,for thus says ,yahweh1 ,you shall not see wind1 neither shall you see rain2 yet that valley shall be filled with water1 and you shall drink1 both you and your livestock and your animals4 #jjc3jah ,this is but a light thing in the sight of ,yahweh3 he will also deliver the ,moabites into your hand4 #jjc3jai ,you shall strike every fortified city1 and every choice city1 and shall fell every good tree1 and stop all springs of water1 and mar every good piece of land with stones4 #jjc3jbj ,it happened in the morning1 about the time of offering the offering1 that behold1 there came water by the way of ,edom1 and the country was filled with water4 #jjc3jba ,now when all the ,moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them1 they gathered themselves together1 all who were able to put on armor1 and upward1 and stood on the border4 #jjc3jbb ,they rose up early in the morning1 and the sun shone on the water1 and the ,moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood3 #jjc3jbc and they said1 ,this is blood2 the kings are surely destroyed1 and they have struck each man his fellow3 now therefore1 ,moab1 to the spoil4 #jjc3jbd ,when they came to the camp of ,israel1 the ,israelites rose up and struck the ,moabites1 so that they fled before them2 and they went forward into the land smiting the ,moabites4 #jjc3jbe ,they beat down the cities2 and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone1 and filled it2 and they stopped all the springs of water1 and felled all the good trees1 until in ,kir ,hareseth only they left the stones of it2 however the men armed with slings went about it1 and struck it4 #jjc3jbf ,when the king of ,moab saw that the battle was too severe for him1 he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword1 to break through to the king of ,edom2 but they could not4 #jjc3jbg ,then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place1 and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall4 ,there was great wrath against ,israel3 and they departed from him1 and returned to their own land4 #jjd3jja ,now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to ,elisha1 saying1 ,your servant my husband is dead2 and you know that your servant did fear ,yahweh3 and the creditor is come to take to him my two children to be bondservants4 #jjd3jjb ,elisha said to her1 ,what shall ,i do for you8 tell me2 what have you in the house8 ,she said1 ,your handmaid has nothing in the house1 except a pot of oil4 #jjd3jjc ,then he said1 ,go1 borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors1 even empty vessels2 borrow not a few4 #jjd3jjd ,you shall go in1 and shut the door on you and on your sons1 and pour out into all those vessels2 and you shall set aside that which is full4 #jjd3jje ,so she went from him1 and shut the door on her and on her sons2 they brought the vessels to her1 and she poured out4 #jjd3jjf ,it happened1 when the vessels were full1 that she said to her son1 ,bring me yet a vessel4 ,he said to her1 ,there isn't another vessel4 ,the oil stayed4 #jjd3jjg ,then she came and told the man of ,god4 ,he said1 ,go1 sell the oil1 and pay your debt1 and live you and your sons of the rest4 #jjd3jjh ,it fell on a day1 that ,elisha passed to ,shunem1 where was a great woman2 and she constrained him to eat bread4 ,so it was1 that as often as he passed by1 he turned in there to eat bread4 #jjd3jji ,she said to her husband1 ,see now1 ,i perceive that this is a holy man of ,god1 that passes by us continually4 #jjd3jaj ,let us make1 ,please1 a little chamber on the wall2 and let us set for him there a bed1 and a table1 and a seat1 and a lamp stand3 and it shall be1 when he comes to us1 that he shall turn in there4 #jjd3jaa ,it fell on a day1 that he came there1 and he turned into the chamber and lay there4 #jjd3jab ,he said to ,gehazi his servant1 ,call this ,shunammite4 ,when he had called her1 she stood before him4 #jjd3jac ,he said to him1 ,say now to her1 ,behold1 you have been careful for us with all this care2 what is to be done for you8 would you be spoken for to the king1 or to the captain of the army8 ,she answered1 ,i dwell among my own people4 #jjd3jad ,he said1 ,what then is to be done for her8 ,gehazi answered1 ,most certainly she has no son1 and her husband is old4 #jjd3jae ,he said1 ,call her4 ,when he had called her1 she stood in the door4 #jjd3jaf ,he said1 ,at this season1 when the time comes round1 you shall embrace a son4 ,she said1 ,no1 my lord1 you man of ,god1 do not lie to your handmaid4 #jjd3jag ,the woman conceived1 and bore a son at that season1 when the time came round1 as ,elisha had said to her4 #jjd3jah ,when the child was grown1 it fell on a day1 that he went out to his father to the reapers4 #jjd3jai ,he said to his father1 ,my head1 my head4 ,he said to his servant1 ,carry him to his mother4 #jjd3jbj ,when he had taken him1 and brought him to his mother1 he sat on her knees until noon1 and then died4 #jjd3jba ,she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of ,god1 and shut the door on him1 and went out4 #jjd3jbb ,she called to her husband1 and said1 ,please send me one of the servants1 and one of the donkeys1 that ,i may run to the man of ,god1 and come again4 #jjd3jbc ,he said1 ,why will you go to him today8 it is neither new moon nor ,sabbath4 ,she said1 ,it shall be well4 #jjd3jbd ,then she saddled a donkey1 and said to her servant1 ,drive1 and go forward2 don't slacken me the riding1 except ,i bid you4 #jjd3jbe ,so she went1 and came to the man of ,god to ,mount ,carmel4 ,it happened1 when the man of ,god saw her afar off1 that he said to ,gehazi his servant1 ,behold1 yonder is the ,shunammite3 #jjd3jbf please run now to meet her1 and ask her1 ,is it well with you8 is it well with your husband8 is it well with the child8 ,she answered1 ,it is well4 #jjd3jbg ,when she came to the man of ,god to the hill1 she caught hold of his feet4 ,gehazi came near to thrust her away2 but the man of ,god said1 ,let her alone3 for her soul is vexed within her2 and ,yahweh has hid it from me1 and has not told me4 #jjd3jbh ,then she said1 ,did ,i desire a son of my lord8 ,didn't ,i say1 ,do not deceive me8 #jjd3jbi ,then he said to ,gehazi1 ,gird up your waist1 and take my staff in your hand1 and go your way3 if you meet any man1 ,don't greet him2 and if anyone greets you1 don't answer him again3 and lay my staff on the face of the child4 #jjd3jcj ,the mother of the child said1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 and as your soul lives1 ,i will not leave you4 ,he arose1 and followed her4 #jjd3jca ,gehazi passed on before them1 and laid the staff on the face of the child2 but there was neither voice1 nor hearing4 ,therefore he returned to meet him1 and told him1 saying1 ,the child has not awakened4 #jjd3jcb ,when ,elisha was come into the house1 behold1 the child was dead1 and laid on his bed4 #jjd3jcc ,he went in therefore1 and shut the door on them both1 and prayed to ,yahweh4 #jjd3jcd ,he went up1 and lay on the child1 and put his mouth on his mouth1 and his eyes on his eyes1 and his hands on his hands3 and he stretched himself on him2 and the flesh of the child grew warm4 #jjd3jce ,then he returned1 and walked in the house once back and forth2 and went up1 and stretched himself on him3 and the child sneezed seven times1 and the child opened his eyes4 #jjd3jcf ,he called ,gehazi1 and said1 ,call this ,shunammite4 ,so he called her4 ,when she was come in to him1 he said1 ,take up your son4 #jjd3jcg ,then she went in1 and fell at his feet1 and bowed herself to the ground2 and she took up her son1 and went out4 #jjd3jch ,elisha came again to ,gilgal4 ,there was a dearth in the land2 and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him2 and he said to his servant1 ,set on the great pot1 and boil stew for the sons of the prophets4 #jjd3jci ,one went out into the field to gather herbs1 and found a wild vine1 and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full1 and came and shred them into the pot of stew2 for they didn't recognize them4 #jjd3jdj ,so they poured out for the men to eat4 ,it happened1 as they were eating of the stew1 that they cried out1 and said1 man of ,god1 there is death in the pot4 ,they could not eat of it4 #jjd3jda ,but he said1 ,then bring meal4 ,he cast it into the pot2 and he said1 ,pour out for the people1 that they may eat4 ,there was no harm in the pot4 #jjd3jdb ,there came a man from ,baal ,shalishah1 and brought the man of ,god bread of the first fruits1 twenty loaves of barley1 and fresh ears of grain in his sack4 ,he said1 ,give to the people1 that they may eat4 #jjd3jdc ,his servant said1 ,what1 should ,i set this before a hundred men8 ,but he said1 ,give the people1 that they may eat2 for thus says ,yahweh1 ,they shall eat1 and shall leave of it4 #jjd3jdd ,so he set it before them1 and they ate1 and left of it1 according to the word of ,yahweh4 #jje3jja ,now ,naaman1 captain of the army of the king of ,syria1 was a great man with his master1 and honorable1 because by him ,yahweh had given victory to ,syria3 he was also a mighty man of valor1 but he was a leper4 #jje3jjb ,the ,syrians had gone out in bands1 and had brought away captive out of the land of ,israel a little maiden2 and she waited on ,naaman's wife4 #jje3jjc ,she said to her mistress1 ,would that my lord were with the prophet who is in ,samaria6 then would he recover him of his leprosy4 #jje3jjd ,one went in1 and told his lord1 saying1 ,thus and thus said the maiden who is of the land of ,israel4 #jje3jje ,the king of ,syria said1 ,go now1 and ,i will send a letter to the king of ,israel4 ,he departed1 and took with him ten talents of silver1 and six thousand pieces of gold1 and ten changes of clothing4 #jje3jjf ,he brought the letter to the king of ,israel1 saying1 ,now when this letter is come to you1 behold1 ,i have sent ,naaman my servant to you1 that you may recover him of his leprosy4 #jje3jjg ,it happened1 when the king of ,israel had read the letter1 that he tore his clothes1 and said1 ,am ,i ,god1 to kill and to make alive1 that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy8 but consider1 ,i pray you1 and see how he seeks a quarrel against me4 #jje3jjh ,it was so1 when ,elisha the man of ,god heard that the king of ,israel had torn his clothes1 that he sent to the king1 saying1 ,why have you torn your clothes8 let him come now to me1 and he shall know that there is a prophet in ,israel4 #jje3jji ,so ,naaman came with his horses and with his chariots1 and stood at the door of the house of ,elisha4 #jje3jaj ,elisha sent a messenger to him1 saying1 ,go and wash in the ,jordan seven times1 and your flesh shall come again to you1 and you shall be clean4 #jje3jaa ,but ,naaman was angry1 and went away1 and said1 ,behold1 ,i thought1 ,he will surely come out to me1 and stand1 and call on the name of ,yahweh his ,god1 and wave his hand over the place1 and recover the leper4 #jje3jab ,aren't ,abanah and ,pharpar1 the rivers of ,damascus1 better than all the waters of ,israel8 may ,i not wash in them1 and be clean8 ,so he turned and went away in a rage4 #jje3jac ,his servants came near1 and spoke to him1 and said1 ,my father1 if the prophet had bid you do some great thing1 wouldn't you have done it8 how much rather then1 when he says to you1 ,wash1 and be clean8 #jje3jad ,then went he down1 and dipped himself seven times in the ,jordan1 according to the saying of the man of ,god2 and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child1 and he was clean4 #jje3jae ,he returned to the man of ,god1 he and all his company1 and came1 and stood before him2 and he said1 ,see now1 ,i know that there is no ,god in all the earth1 but in ,israel3 now therefore1 please take a present from your servant4 #jje3jaf ,but he said1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 before whom ,i stand1 ,i will receive none4 ,he urged him to take it2 but he refused4 #jje3jag ,naaman said1 ,if not1 yet1 please let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of earth2 for your servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods1 but to ,yahweh4 #jje3jah ,in this thing ,yahweh pardon your servant3 when my master goes into the house of ,rimmon to worship there1 and he leans on my hand1 and ,i bow myself in the house of ,rimmon1 when ,i bow myself in the house of ,rimmon1 ,yahweh pardon your servant in this thing4 #jje3jai ,he said to him1 ,go in peace4 ,so he departed from him a little way4 #jje3jbj ,but ,gehazi the servant of ,elisha the man of ,god1 said1 ,behold1 my master has spared this ,naaman the ,syrian1 in not receiving at his hands that which he brought3 as ,yahweh lives1 ,i will run after him1 and take somewhat of him4 #jje3jba ,so ,gehazi followed after ,naaman4 ,when ,naaman saw one running after him1 he alighted from the chariot to meet him1 and said1 ,is all well8 #jje3jbb ,he said1 ,all is well4 ,my master has sent me1 saying1 ,behold1 even now there are come to me from the hill country of ,ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets2 please give them a talent of silver1 and two changes of clothing4 #jje3jbc ,naaman said1 ,be pleased to take two talents4 ,he urged him1 and bound two talents of silver in two bags1 with two changes of clothing1 and laid them on two of his servants2 and they bore them before him4 #jje3jbd ,when he came to the hill1 he took them from their hand1 and bestowed them in the house2 and he let the men go1 and they departed4 #jje3jbe ,but he went in1 and stood before his master4 ,elisha said to him1 ,whence come you1 ,gehazi8 ,he said1 ,your servant went no where4 #jje3jbf ,he said to him1 ,didn't my heart go with you1 when the man turned from his chariot to meet you8 ,is it a time to receive money1 and to receive garments1 and olive groves and vineyards1 and sheep and oxen1 and male servants and female servants8 #jje3jbg ,the leprosy therefore of ,naaman shall cleave to you1 and to your seed forever4 ,he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow4 #jjf3jja ,the sons of the prophets said to ,elisha1 ,see now1 the place where we dwell before you is too strait for us4 #jjf3jjb ,let us go1 we pray you1 to the ,jordan1 and take there every man a beam1 and let us make us a place there1 where we may dwell4 ,he answered1 ,go you4 #jjf3jjc ,one said1 ,be pleased1 ,i pray you1 to go with your servants4 ,he answered1 ,i will go4 #jjf3jjd ,so he went with them4 ,when they came to the ,jordan1 they cut down wood4 #jjf3jje ,but as one was felling a beam1 the axe head fell into the water2 and he cried1 and said1 ,alas1 my master6 for it was borrowed4 #jjf3jjf ,the man of ,god asked1 ,where did it fall8 ,he showed him the place4 ,he cut down a stick1 threw it in there1 and made the iron float4 #jjf3jjg ,he said1 ,take it4 ,so he put out his hand and took it4 #jjf3jjh ,now the king of ,syria was warring against ,israel2 and he took counsel with his servants1 saying1 ,in such and such a place shall be my camp4 #jjf3jji ,the man of ,god sent to the king of ,israel1 saying1 ,beware that you not pass such a place2 for there the ,syrians are coming down4 #jjf3jaj ,the king of ,israel sent to the place which the man of ,god told him and warned him of2 and he saved himself there1 not once nor twice4 #jjf3jaa ,the heart of the king of ,syria was sore troubled for this thing2 and he called his servants1 and said to them1 ,won't you show me which of us is for the king of ,israel8 #jjf3jab ,one of his servants said1 ,no1 my lord1 ,o king2 but ,elisha1 the prophet who is in ,israel1 tells the king of ,israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber4 #jjf3jac ,he said1 ,go and see where he is1 that ,i may send and get him4 ,it was told him1 saying1 ,behold1 he is in ,dothan4 #jjf3jad ,therefore sent he there horses1 and chariots1 and a great army3 and they came by night1 and surrounded the city4 #jjf3jae ,when the servant of the man of ,god was risen early1 and gone forth1 behold1 an army with horses and chariots was round about the city4 ,his servant said to him1 ,alas1 my master6 how shall we do8 #jjf3jaf ,he answered1 ,don't be afraid2 for those who are with us are more than those who are with them4 #jjf3jag ,elisha prayed1 and said1 ,yahweh1 ,please open his eyes1 that he may see4 ,yahweh opened the eyes of the young man2 and he saw3 and behold1 the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about ,elisha4 #jjf3jah ,when they came down to him1 ,elisha prayed to ,yahweh1 and said1 ,please smite this people with blindness4 ,he struck them with blindness according to the word of ,elisha4 #jjf3jai ,elisha said to them1 ,this is not the way1 neither is this the city3 follow me1 and ,i will bring you to the man whom you seek4 ,he led them to ,samaria4 #jjf3jbj ,it happened1 when they were come into ,samaria1 that ,elisha said1 ,yahweh1 open the eyes of these men1 that they may see4 ,yahweh opened their eyes1 and they saw2 and behold1 they were in the midst of ,samaria4 #jjf3jba ,the king of ,israel said to ,elisha1 when he saw them1 ,my father1 shall ,i strike them8 shall ,i strike them8 #jjf3jbb ,he answered1 ,you shall not strike them3 would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow8 set bread and water before them1 that they may eat and drink1 and go to their master4 #jjf3jbc ,he prepared great provision for them2 and when they had eaten and drunk1 he sent them away1 and they went to their master4 ,the bands of ,syria came no more into the land of ,israel4 #jjf3jbd ,it happened after this1 that ,benhadad king of ,syria gathered all his army1 and went up1 and besieged ,samaria4 #jjf3jbe ,there was a great famine in ,samaria3 and behold1 they besieged it1 until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver1 and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver4 #jjf3jbf ,as the king of ,israel was passing by on the wall1 there cried a woman to him1 saying1 ,help1 my lord1 ,o king4 #jjf3jbg ,he said1 ,if ,yahweh doesn't help you1 whence shall ,i help you8 out of the threshing floor1 or out of the winepress8 #jjf3jbh ,the king said to her1 ,what ails you8 ,she answered1 ,this woman said to me1 ,give your son1 that we may eat him today1 and we will eat my son tomorrow4 #jjf3jbi ,so we boiled my son1 and ate him3 and ,i said to her on the next day1 ,give your son1 that we may eat him2 and she has hid her son4 #jjf3jcj ,it happened1 when the king heard the words of the woman1 that he tore his clothes 7now he was passing by on the wall72 and the people looked1 and behold1 he had sackcloth within on his flesh4 #jjf3jca ,then he said1 ,god do so to me1 and more also1 if the head of ,elisha the son of ,shaphat shall stand on him this day4 #jjf3jcb ,but ,elisha was sitting in his house1 and the elders were sitting with him2 and the king sent a man from before him3 but before the messenger came to him1 he said to the elders1 ,see you how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head8 behold1 when the messenger comes1 shut the door1 and hold the door fast against him3 isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him8 #jjf3jcc ,while he was yet talking with them1 behold1 the messenger came down to him3 and he said1 ,behold1 this evil is of ,yahweh2 why should ,i wait for ,yahweh any longer8 #jjg3jja ,elisha said1 ,hear you the word of ,yahweh3 thus says ,yahweh1 ,tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel1 and two measures of barley for a shekel1 in the gate of ,samaria4 #jjg3jjb ,then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of ,god1 and said1 ,behold1 if ,yahweh should make windows in heaven1 might this thing be8 ,he said1 ,behold1 you shall see it with your eyes1 but shall not eat of it4 #jjg3jjc ,now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate3 and they said one to another1 ,why sit we here until we die8 #jjg3jjd ,if we say1 ,we will enter into the city1 then the famine is in the city1 and we shall die there2 and if we sit still here1 we die also4 ,now therefore come1 and let us fall to the army of the ,syrians3 if they save us alive1 we shall live2 and if they kill us1 we shall but die4 #jjg3jje ,they rose up in the twilight1 to go to the camp of the ,syrians2 and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the ,syrians1 behold1 there was no man there4 #jjg3jjf ,for the ,lord had made the army of the ,syrians to hear a noise of chariots1 and a noise of horses1 even the noise of a great army3 and they said one to another1 ,behold1 the king of ,israel has hired against us the kings of the ,hittites1 and the kings of the ,egyptians1 to come on us4 #jjg3jjg ,therefore they arose and fled in the twilight1 and left their tents1 and their horses1 and their donkeys1 even the camp as it was1 and fled for their life4 #jjg3jjh ,when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp1 they went into one tent1 and ate and drink1 and carried there silver1 and gold1 and clothing1 and went and hid it2 and they came back1 and entered into another tent1 and carried there also1 and went and hid it4 #jjg3jji ,then they said one to another1 ,we aren't doing right4 ,this day is a day of good news1 and we hold our peace3 if we wait until the morning light1 punishment will overtake us2 now therefore come1 let us go and tell the king's household4 #jjg3jaj ,so they came and called to the porter of the city2 and they told them1 saying1 ,we came to the camp of the ,syrians1 and1 behold1 there was no man there1 neither voice of man1 but the horses tied1 and the donkeys tied1 and the tents as they were4 #jjg3jaa ,he called the porters2 and they told it to the king's household within4 #jjg3jab ,the king arose in the night1 and said to his servants1 ,i will now show you what the ,syrians have done to us4 ,they know that we are hungry2 therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field1 saying1 ,when they come out of the city1 we shall take them alive1 and get into the city4 #jjg3jac ,one of his servants answered1 ,please let some take five of the horses that remain1 which are left in the city 7behold1 they are as all the multitude of ,israel who are left in it2 behold1 they are as all the multitude of ,israel who are consumed72 and let us send and see4 #jjg3jad ,they took therefore two chariots with horses2 and the king sent after the army of the ,syrians1 saying1 ,go and see4 #jjg3jae ,they went after them to the ,jordan3 and behold1 all the way was full of garments and vessels1 which the ,syrians had cast away in their haste4 ,the messengers returned1 and told the king4 #jjg3jaf ,the people went out1 and plundered the camp of the ,syrians4 ,so a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel1 and two measures of barley for a shekel1 according to the word of ,yahweh4 #jjg3jag ,the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate3 and the people trod on him in the gate1 and he died as the man of ,god had said1 who spoke when the king came down to him4 #jjg3jah ,it happened1 as the man of ,god had spoken to the king1 saying1 ,two measures of barley for a shekel1 and a measure of fine flour for a shekel1 shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of ,samaria2 #jjg3jai and that captain answered the man of ,god1 and said1 ,now1 behold1 if ,yahweh should make windows in heaven1 might such a thing be8 and he said1 ,behold1 you shall see it with your eyes1 but shall not eat of it3 #jjg3jbj it happened even so to him2 for the people trod on him in the gate1 and he died4 #jjh3jja ,now ,elisha had spoken to the woman1 whose son he had restored to life1 saying1 ,arise1 and go you and your household1 and sojourn wherever you can sojourn3 for ,yahweh has called for a famine2 and it shall also come on the land seven years4 #jjh3jjb ,the woman arose1 and did according to the word of the man of ,god2 and she went with her household1 and sojourned in the land of the ,philistines seven years4 #jjh3jjc ,it happened at the seven years' end1 that the woman returned out of the land of the ,philistines3 and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land4 #jjh3jjd ,now the king was talking with ,gehazi the servant of the man of ,god1 saying1 ,please tell me all the great things that ,elisha has done4 #jjh3jje ,it happened1 as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead1 that behold1 the woman1 whose son he had restored to life1 cried to the king for her house and for her land4 ,gehazi said1 ,my lord1 ,o king1 this is the woman1 and this is her son1 whom ,elisha restored to life4 #jjh3jjf ,when the king asked the woman1 she told him4 ,so the king appointed to her a certain officer1 saying1 ,restore all that was hers1 and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land1 even until now4 #jjh3jjg ,elisha came to ,damascus2 and ,benhadad the king of ,syria was sick2 and it was told him1 saying1 ,the man of ,god is come here4 #jjh3jjh ,the king said to ,hazael1 ,take a present in your hand1 and go1 meet the man of ,god1 and inquire of ,yahweh by him1 saying1 ,shall ,i recover of this sickness8 #jjh3jji ,so ,hazael went to meet him1 and took a present with him1 even of every good thing of ,damascus1 forty camels' burden1 and came and stood before him1 and said1 ,your son ,benhadad king of ,syria has sent me to you1 saying1 ,shall ,i recover of this sickness8 #jjh3jaj ,elisha said to him1 ,go1 tell him1 ,you shall surely recover2 however ,yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die4 #jjh3jaa ,he settled his gaze steadfastly on him1 until he was ashamed3 and the man of ,god wept4 #jjh3jab ,hazael said1 ,why weeps my lord8 ,he answered1 ,because ,i know the evil that you will do to the children of ,israel3 their strongholds will you set on fire1 and their young men will you kill with the sword1 and will dash in pieces their little ones1 and rip up their women with child4 #jjh3jac ,hazael said1 ,but what is your servant1 who is but a dog1 that he should do this great thing8 ,elisha answered1 ,yahweh has shown me that you shall be king over ,syria4 #jjh3jad ,then he departed from ,elisha1 and came to his master2 who said to him1 ,what said ,elisha to you8 ,he answered1 ,he told me that you would surely recover4 #jjh3jae ,it happened on the next day1 that he took the coverlet1 and dipped it in water1 and spread it on his face1 so that he died3 and ,hazael reigned in his place4 #jjh3jaf ,in the fifth year of ,joram the son of ,ahab king of ,israel1 ,jehoshaphat being then king of ,judah1 ,jehoram the son of ,jehoshaphat king of ,judah began to reign4 #jjh3jag ,thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign2 and he reigned eight years in ,jerusalem4 #jjh3jah ,he walked in the way of the kings of ,israel1 as did the house of ,ahab3 for he had the daughter of ,ahab as wife2 and he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh4 #jjh3jai ,however ,yahweh would not destroy ,judah1 for ,david his servant's sake1 as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always4 #jjh3jbj ,in his days ,edom revolted from under the hand of ,judah1 and made a king over themselves4 #jjh3jba ,then ,joram passed over to ,zair1 and all his chariots with him3 and he rose up by night1 and struck the ,edomites who surrounded him1 and the captains of the chariots2 and the people fled to their tents4 #jjh3jbb ,so ,edom revolted from under the hand of ,judah to this day4 ,then did ,libnah revolt at the same time4 #jjh3jbc ,the rest of the acts of ,joram1 and all that he did1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jjh3jbd ,joram slept with his fathers1 and was buried with his fathers in the city of ,david2 and ,ahaziah his son reigned in his place4 #jjh3jbe ,in the twelfth year of ,joram the son of ,ahab king of ,israel did ,ahaziah the son of ,jehoram king of ,judah begin to reign4 #jjh3jbf ,twenty-two years old was ,ahaziah when he began to reign2 and he reigned one year in ,jerusalem4 ,his mother's name was ,athaliah the daughter of ,omri king of ,israel4 #jjh3jbg ,he walked in the way of the house of ,ahab1 and did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 as did the house of ,ahab2 for he was the son-in-law of the house of ,ahab4 #jjh3jbh ,he went with ,joram the son of ,ahab to war against ,hazael king of ,syria at ,ramoth ,gilead3 and the ,syrians wounded ,joram4 #jjh3jbi ,king ,joram returned to be healed in ,jezreel of the wounds which the ,syrians had given him at ,ramah1 when he fought against ,hazael king of ,syria4 ,ahaziah the son of ,jehoram king of ,judah went down to see ,joram the son of ,ahab in ,jezreel1 because he was sick4 #jji3jja ,elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets1 and said to him1 ,gird up your waist1 and take this vial of oil in your hand1 and go to ,ramoth ,gilead4 #jji3jjb ,when you come there1 look out there ,jehu the son of ,jehoshaphat the son of ,nimshi1 and go in1 and make him arise up from among his brothers1 and carry him to an inner chamber4 #jji3jjc ,then take the vial of oil1 and pour it on his head1 and say1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,i have anointed you king over ,israel4 ,then open the door1 and flee1 and don't wait4 #jji3jjd ,so the young man1 even the young man the prophet1 went to ,ramoth ,gilead4 #jji3jje ,when he came1 behold1 the captains of the army were sitting2 and he said1 ,i have an errand to you1 captain4 ,jehu said1 ,to which of us all8 ,he said1 ,to you1 ,o captain4 #jji3jjf ,he arose1 and went into the house2 and he poured the oil on his head1 and said to him1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,i have anointed you king over the people of ,yahweh1 even over ,israel4 #jji3jjg ,you shall strike the house of ,ahab your master1 that ,i may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets1 and the blood of all the servants of ,yahweh1 at the hand of ,jezebel4 #jji3jjh ,for the whole house of ,ahab shall perish2 and ,i will cut off from ,ahab everyone who urinates against a wall1or1 male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in ,israel4 #jji3jji ,i will make the house of ,ahab like the house of ,jeroboam the son of ,nebat1 and like the house of ,baasha the son of ,ahijah4 #jji3jaj ,the dogs shall eat ,jezebel in the portion of ,jezreel1 and there shall be none to bury her4 ,he opened the door1 and fled4 #jji3jaa ,then ,jehu came forth to the servants of his lord3 and one said to him1 ,is all well8 why came this mad fellow to you8 ,he said to them1 ,you know the man and what his talk was4 #jji3jab ,they said1 ,it is false2 tell us now4 ,he said1 ,thus and thus spoke he to me1 saying1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,i have anointed you king over ,israel4 #jji3jac ,then they hurried1 and took every man his garment1 and put it under him on the top of the stairs1 and blew the trumpet1 saying1 ,jehu is king4 #jji3jad ,so ,jehu the son of ,jehoshaphat the son of ,nimshi conspired against ,joram4 7,now ,joram was keeping ,ramoth ,gilead1 he and all ,israel1 because of ,hazael king of ,syria2 #jji3jae but king ,joram was returned to be healed in ,jezreel of the wounds which the ,syrians had given him1 when he fought with ,hazael king of ,syria47 ,jehu said1 ,if this be your mind1 then let none escape and go forth out of the city1 to go to tell it in ,jezreel4 #jji3jaf ,so ,jehu rode in a chariot1 and went to ,jezreel2 for ,joram lay there4 ,ahaziah king of ,judah was come down to see ,joram4 #jji3jag ,now the watchman was standing on the tower in ,jezreel1 and he spied the company of ,jehu as he came1 and said1 ,i see a company4 ,joram said1 ,take a horseman1 and send to meet them1 and let him say1 ,is it peace8 #jji3jah ,so there went one on horseback to meet him1 and said1 ,thus says the king1 ,is it peace8 ,jehu said1 ,what have you to do with peace8 turn you behind me4 ,the watchman told1 saying1 ,the messenger came to them1 but he isn't coming back4 #jji3jai ,then he sent out a second on horseback1 who came to them1 and said1 ,thus says the king1 ,is it peace8 ,jehu answered1 ,what have you to do with peace8 turn you behind me4 #jji3jbj ,the watchman told1 saying1 ,he came even to them1 and isn't coming back3 and the driving is like the driving of ,jehu the son of ,nimshi2 for he drives furiously4 #jji3jba ,joram said1 ,make ready4 ,they made ready his chariot4 ,joram king of ,israel and ,ahaziah king of ,judah went out1 each in his chariot1 and they went out to meet ,jehu1 and found him in the portion of ,naboth the ,jezreelite4 #jji3jbb ,it happened1 when ,joram saw ,jehu1 that he said1 ,is it peace1 ,jehu8 ,he answered1 ,what peace1 so long as the prostitution of your mother ,jezebel and her witchcraft abound8 #jji3jbc ,joram turned his hands1 and fled1 and said to ,ahaziah1 ,there is treachery1 ,ahaziah4 #jji3jbd ,jehu drew his bow with his full strength1 and struck ,joram between his arms2 and the arrow went out at his heart1 and he sunk down in his chariot4 #jji3jbe ,then said ,jehu to ,bidkar his captain1 ,take up1 and cast him in the portion of the field of ,naboth the ,jezreelite2 for remember how that1 when ,i and you rode together after ,ahab his father1 ,yahweh laid this burden on him3 #jji3jbf ,surely ,i have seen yesterday the blood of ,naboth1 and the blood of his sons1 says ,yahweh2 and ,i will requite you in this plat1 says ,yahweh4 ,now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground1 according to the word of ,yahweh4 #jji3jbg ,but when ,ahaziah the king of ,judah saw this1 he fled by the way of the garden house4 ,jehu followed after him1 and said1 ,smite him also in the chariot3 and they struck him at the ascent of ,gur1 which is by ,ibleam4 ,he fled to ,megiddo1 and died there4 #jji3jbh ,his servants carried him in a chariot to ,jerusalem1 and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of ,david4 #jji3jbi ,in the eleventh year of ,joram the son of ,ahab began ,ahaziah to reign over ,judah4 #jji3jcj ,when ,jehu was come to ,jezreel1 ,jezebel heard of it2 and she painted her eyes1 and attired her head1 and looked out at the window4 #jji3jca ,as ,jehu entered in at the gate1 she said1 ,is it peace1 you ,zimri1 your master's murderer8 #jji3jcb ,he lifted up his face to the window1 and said1 ,who is on my side8 who8 ,there looked out to him two or three eunuchs4 #jji3jcc ,he said1 ,throw her down4 ,so they threw her down2 and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall1 and on the horses3 and he trod her under foot4 #jji3jcd ,when he was come in1 he ate and drink2 and he said1 ,see now to this cursed woman1 and bury her2 for she is a king's daughter4 #jji3jce ,they went to bury her2 but they found no more of her than the skull1 and the feet1 and the palms of her hands4 #jji3jcf ,therefore they came back1 and told him4 ,he said1 ,this is the word of ,yahweh1 which he spoke by his servant ,elijah the ,tishbite1 saying1 ,in the portion of ,jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of ,jezebel2 #jji3jcg and the body of ,jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of ,jezreel1 so that they shall not say1 ,this is ,jezebel4 #jaj3jja ,now ,ahab had seventy sons in ,samaria4 ,jehu wrote letters1 and sent to ,samaria1 to the rulers of ,jezreel1 even the elders1 and to those who brought up the sons of ,ahab1 saying1 #jaj3jjb ,now as soon as this letter comes to you1 seeing your master's sons are with you1 and there are with you chariots and horses1 a fortified city also1 and armor2 #jaj3jjc look you out the best and meet of your master's sons1 and set him on his father's throne1 and fight for your master's house4 #jaj3jjd ,but they were exceedingly afraid1 and said1 ,behold1 the two kings didn't stand before him3 how then shall we stand8 #jaj3jje ,he who was over the household1 and he who was over the city1 the elders also1 and those who brought up the children1 sent to ,jehu1 saying1 ,we are your servants1 and will do all that you shall bid us2 we will not make any man king3 you do that which is good in your eyes4 #jaj3jjf ,then he wrote a letter the second time to them1 saying1 ,if you be on my side1 and if you will listen to my voice1 take the heads of the men your master's sons1 and come to me to ,jezreel by tomorrow this time4 ,now the king's sons1 being seventy persons1 were with the great men of the city1 who brought them up4 #jaj3jjg ,it happened1 when the letter came to them1 that they took the king's sons1 and killed them1 even seventy persons1 and put their heads in baskets1 and sent them to him to ,jezreel4 #jaj3jjh ,there came a messenger1 and told him1 saying1 ,they have brought the heads of the king's sons4 ,he said1 ,lay you them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning4 #jaj3jji ,it happened in the morning1 that he went out1 and stood1 and said to all the people1 ,you are righteous3 behold1 ,i conspired against my master1 and killed him2 but who struck all these8 #jaj3jaj ,know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of ,yahweh1 which ,yahweh spoke concerning the house of ,ahab3 for ,yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant ,elijah4 #jaj3jaa ,so ,jehu struck all that remained of the house of ,ahab in ,jezreel1 and all his great men1 and his familiar friends1 and his priests1 until he left him none remaining4 #jaj3jab ,he arose and departed1 and went to ,samaria4 ,as he was at the shearing house of the shepherds in the way1 #jaj3jac ,jehu met with the brothers of ,ahaziah king of ,judah1 and said1 ,who are you8 ,they answered1 ,we are the brothers of ,ahaziah3 and we go down to ,greet the children of the king and the children of the queen4 #jaj3jad ,he said1 ,take them alive4 ,they took them alive1 and killed them at the pit of the shearing house1 even two and forty men2 neither left he any of them4 #jaj3jae ,when he was departed there1 he lighted on ,jehonadab the son of ,rechab coming to meet him2 and he greeted him1 and said to him1 ,is your heart right1 as my heart is with your heart8 ,jehonadab answered1 ,it is4 ,if it be1 give me your hand4 ,he gave him his hand2 and he took him up to him into the chariot4 #jaj3jaf ,he said1 ,come with me1 and see my zeal for ,yahweh4 ,so they made him ride in his chariot4 #jaj3jag ,when he came to ,samaria1 he struck all who remained to ,ahab in ,samaria1 until he had destroyed him1 according to the word of ,yahweh1 which he spoke to ,elijah4 #jaj3jah ,jehu gathered all the people together1 and said to them1 ,ahab served ,baal a little2 but ,jehu will serve him much4 #jaj3jai ,now therefore call to me all the prophets of ,baal1 all his worshippers1 and all his priests2 let none be wanting3 for ,i have a great sacrifice to do to ,baal2 whoever shall be wanting1 he shall not live4 ,but ,jehu did it in subtlety1 to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of ,baal4 #jaj3jbj ,jehu said1 ,sanctify a solemn assembly for ,baal4 ,they proclaimed it4 #jaj3jba ,jehu sent through all ,israel3 and all the worshippers of ,baal came1 so that there was not a man left that didn't come4 ,they came into the house of ,baal2 and the house of ,baal was filled from one end to another4 #jaj3jbb ,he said to him who was over the vestry1 ,bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of ,baal4 ,he brought them forth vestments4 #jaj3jbc ,jehu went1 and ,jehonadab the son of ,rechab1 into the house of ,baal2 and he said to the worshippers of ,baal1 ,search1 and look that there be here with you none of the servants of ,yahweh1 but the worshippers of ,baal only4 #jaj3jbd ,they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings4 ,now ,jehu had appointed him eighty men outside1 and said1 ,if any of the men whom ,i bring into your hands escape1 he who lets him go1 his life shall be for the life of him4 #jaj3jbe ,it happened1 as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering1 that ,jehu said to the guard and to the captains1 ,go in1 and kill them2 let none come forth4 ,they struck them with the edge of the sword2 and the guard and the captains cast them out1 and went to the city of the house of ,baal4 #jaj3jbf ,they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of ,baal1 and burned them4 #jaj3jbg ,they broke down the pillar of ,baal1 and broke down the house of ,baal1 and made it a latrine1 to this day4 #jaj3jbh ,thus ,jehu destroyed ,baal out of ,israel4 #jaj3jbi ,however from the sins of ,jeroboam the son of ,nebat1 with which he made ,israel to sin1 ,jehu didn't depart from after them1 to wit1 the golden calves that were in ,bethel1 and that were in ,dan4 #jaj3jcj ,yahweh said to ,jehu1 ,because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes1 and have done to the house of ,ahab according to all that was in my heart1 your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of ,israel4 #jaj3jca ,but ,jehu took no heed to walk in the law of ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 with all his heart3 he didn't depart from the sins of ,jeroboam1 with which he made ,israel to sin4 #jaj3jcb ,in those days ,yahweh began to cut off from ,israel3 and ,hazael struck them in all the borders of ,israel2 #jaj3jcc from the ,jordan eastward1 all the land of ,gilead1 the ,gadites1 and the ,reubenites1 and the ,manassites1 from ,aroer1 which is by the valley of the ,arnon1 even ,gilead and ,bashan4 #jaj3jcd ,now the rest of the acts of ,jehu1 and all that he did1 and all his might1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,israel8 #jaj3jce ,jehu slept with his fathers2 and they buried him in ,samaria4 ,jehoahaz his son reigned in his place4 #jaj3jcf ,the time that ,jehu reigned over ,israel in ,samaria was twenty-eight years4 #jaa3jja ,now when ,athaliah the mother of ,ahaziah saw that her son was dead1 she arose and destroyed all the seed royal4 #jaa3jjb ,but ,jehosheba1 the daughter of king ,joram1 sister of ,ahaziah1 took ,joash the son of ,ahaziah1 and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain1 even him and his nurse1 and put them in the bedchamber2 and they hid him from ,athaliah1 so that he was not slain2 #jaa3jjc ,he was with her hid in the house of ,yahweh six years4 ,athaliah reigned over the land4 #jaa3jjd ,in the seventh year ,jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the ,carites and of the guard1 and brought them to him into the house of ,yahweh2 and he made a covenant with them1 and took an oath of them in the house of ,yahweh1 and shown them the king's son4 #jaa3jje ,he commanded them1 saying1 ,this is the thing that you shall do3 a third part of you1 who come in on the ,sabbath1 shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house2 #jaa3jjf ,a third part shall be at the gate ,sur2 and a third part at the gate behind the guard3 so shall you keep the watch of the house1 and be a barrier4 #jaa3jjg ,the two companies of you1 even all who go forth on the ,sabbath1 shall keep the watch of the house of ,yahweh about the king4 #jaa3jjh ,you shall compass the king round about1 every man with his weapons in his hand2 and he who comes within the ranks1 let him be slain3 and be you with the king when he goes out1 and when he comes in4 #jaa3jji ,the captains over hundreds did according to all that ,jehoiada the priest commanded2 and they took every man his men1 those who were to come in on the ,sabbath1 with those who were to go out on the ,sabbath1 and came to ,jehoiada the priest4 #jaa3jaj ,the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king ,david's1 which were in the house of ,yahweh4 #jaa3jaa ,the guard stood1 every man with his weapons in his hand1 from the right side of the house to the left side of the house1 along by the altar and the house1 by the king round about4 #jaa3jab ,then he brought out the king's son1 and put the crown on him1 and gave him the testimony2 and they made him king1 and anointed him2 and they clapped their hands1 and said1 ,long live the king4 #jaa3jac ,when ,athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people1 she came to the people into the house of ,yahweh3 #jaa3jad and she looked1 and behold1 the king stood by the pillar1 as the manner was1 and the captains and the trumpets by the king2 and all the people of the land rejoiced1 and blew

between the ranks2 and him who follows her kill with the sword4 ,for the priest said1 ,don't let her be slain in the house of ,yahweh4 #jaa3jaf ,so they made way for her2 and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house3 and there was she slain4 #jaa3jag ,jehoiada made a covenant between ,yahweh and the king and the people1 that they should be ,yahweh's people2 between the king also and the people4 #jaa3jah ,all the people of the land went to the house of ,baal1 and broke it down2 his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly1 and killed ,mattan the priest of ,baal before the altars4 ,the priest appointed officers over the house of ,yahweh4 #jaa3jai ,he took the captains over hundreds1 and the ,carites1 and the guard1 and all the people of the land2 and they brought down the king from the house of ,yahweh1 and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house4 ,he sat on the throne of the kings4 #jaa3jbj ,so all the people of the land rejoiced1 and the city was quiet4 ,athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king's house4 #jaa3jba ,jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign4 #jab3jja ,in the seventh year of ,jehu

which ,jehoiada the priest instructed him4 #jab3jjc ,however the high places were not taken away2 the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places4 #jab3jjd ,jehoash said to the priests1 ,all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of ,yahweh1 in current money1 the money of the persons for whom each man is rated1 and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of ,yahweh1 #jab3jje let the priests take it to them1 every man from his acquaintance2 and they shall repair the breaches of the house1 wherever any breach shall be found4 #jab3jjf ,but it was so1 that in the three and twentieth year of king ,jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house4 #jab3jjg ,then king ,jehoash called for ,jehoiada the priest1 and for the other priests1 and said to them1 ,why don't you repair the breaches of the house8 now therefore take no more money from your acquaintance1 but deliver it for the breaches of the house4 #jab3jjh ,the priests consented that they should take no more money from the people1 neither repair the breaches of the house4 #jab3jji ,but ,jehoiada the priest took a chest1 and bored a hole in the lid of it1 and set it beside the altar1 on the right side as one comes into the house of ,yahweh3 and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of ,yahweh4 #jab3jaj ,it was so1 when they saw that there was much money in the chest1 that the king's scribe and the high priest came up1 and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of ,yahweh4 #jab3jaa ,they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work1 who had the oversight of the house of ,yahweh3 and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders1 who worked on the house of ,yahweh1 #jab3jab and to the masons and the stone cutters1 and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of ,yahweh1 and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it4 #jab3jac ,but there were not made for the house of ,yahweh cups of silver1 snuffers1 basins1 trumpets1 any vessels of gold1 or vessels of silver1 of the money that was brought into the house of ,yahweh2 #jab3jad for they gave that to those who did the work1 and repaired therewith the house of ,yahweh4 #jab3jae ,moreover they didn't demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work2 for they dealt faithfully4 #jab3jaf ,the money for the trespass offerings1 and the money for the sin offerings1 was not brought into the house of ,yahweh3 it was the priests'4 #jab3jag ,then ,hazael king of ,syria went up1 and fought against ,gath1 and took it2 and ,hazael set his face to go up to ,jerusalem4 #jab3jah ,jehoash king of ,judah took all the holy things that ,jehoshaphat and ,jehoram and ,ahaziah1 his fathers1 kings of ,judah1 had dedicated1 and his own holy things1 and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of ,yahweh1 and of the king's house1 and sent it to ,hazael king of ,syria3 and he went away from ,jerusalem4 #jab3jai ,now the rest of the

,hazael1 continually4 #jac3jjd ,jehoahaz begged ,yahweh1 and ,yahweh listened to him2 for he saw the oppression of ,israel1 how that the king of ,syria oppressed them4 #jac3jje 7,yahweh gave ,israel a savior1 so that they went out from under the hand of the ,syrians2 and the children of ,israel lived in their tents as before4 #jac3jjf ,nevertheless they didn't depart from the sins of the house of ,jeroboam1 with which he made ,israel to sin1 but walked therein3 and there remained the ,asherah also in ,samaria47 #jac3jjg ,for he didn't leave to ,jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen1 and ten chariots1 and ten thousand footmen2 for the king of ,syria destroyed them1 and made them like the dust in threshing4 #jac3jjh ,now the rest of the acts of ,jehoahaz1 and all that he did1 and his

#jac3jaf ,he said to the king of ,israel1 ,put your hand on the bow2 and he put his hand on it4 ,elisha laid his hands on the king's hands4 #jac3jag ,he said1 ,open the window eastward2 and he opened it4 ,then ,elisha said1 ,shoot2 and he shot4 ,he said1 ,yahweh's arrow of victory1 even the arrow of victory over ,syria2 for you shall strike the ,syrians in ,aphek1 until you have consumed them4 #jac3jah ,he said1 ,take the arrows2 and he took them4 ,he said to the king of ,israel1 ,smite on the ground2 and he struck thrice1 and stayed4 #jac3jai ,the man of ,god was angry with him1 and said1 ,you should have struck five or six times3 then had you struck ,syria until you had consumed it1 whereas now you shall strike ,syria but thrice4 #jac3jbj ,elisha died1 and they buried him4 ,now the bands of the ,moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year4 #jac3jba ,it happened1 as they were burying a man1 that behold1 they spied a band2 and they cast the man into the tomb of ,elisha3 and as soon as the man touched the bones of ,elisha1 he revived1 and stood up on his feet4 #jac3jbb ,hazael king of ,syria oppressed ,israel all the days of ,jehoahaz4 #jac3jbc ,but ,yahweh was gracious to them1 and had compassion on them1 and had respect to them1 because of his covenant with ,abraham1 ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 and would not destroy them1 neither cast he them from his presence as yet4 #jac3jbd ,hazael king of ,syria died2 and ,benhadad his son reigned in his place4 #jac3jbe ,jehoash the son of ,jehoahaz took again out of the hand of ,benhadad the son of ,hazael the cities

,however the high places were not taken away3 the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places4 #jad3jje ,it happened1 as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand1 that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father3 #jad3jjf but the children of the murderers he didn't put to death2 according to that which is written in the book of the law of ,moses1 as ,yahweh commanded1 saying1 ,the fathers shall not be put to death for the children1 nor the children be put to death for the fathers2 but every man shall die for his own sin4 #jad3jjg ,he killed of ,edom in the ,valley of ,salt ten thousand1 and took ,sela by war1 and called the name of it ,joktheel1 to this day4 #jad3jjh ,then ,amaziah sent messengers to ,jehoash1 the son of ,jehoahaz son of ,jehu1 king of ,israel1 saying1 ,come1 let us look one another in the face4 #jad3jji ,jehoash the king of ,israel sent to ,amaziah king of ,judah1 saying1 ,the thistle that was in ,lebanon sent to the

and offered no tribute to the king of ,assyria1 as he had done year by year3 therefore the king of ,assyria shut him up1 and bound him in prison4 #jag3jje ,then the king of ,assyria came up throughout all the land1 and went up to ,samaria1 and besieged it three years4 #jag3jjf ,in the ninth year of ,hoshea the king of ,assyria took ,samaria1 and carried ,israel away to ,assyria1 and placed them in ,halah1 and on the ,habor1 the river of ,gozan1 and in the cities of the ,medes4 #jag3jjg ,it was so1 because the children of ,israel had sinned against ,yahweh their ,god1 who brought them up out of the land of ,egypt from under the hand of ,pharaoh king of ,egypt1 and had feared other gods1 #jag3jjh and walked in the statutes of the nations1 whom ,yahweh cast out from before the children of ,israel1 and of the kings of ,israel1 which they made4 #jag3jji ,the children of ,israel did secretly things that were not right against ,yahweh their ,god3 and they built them high places in all their cities1 from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city2 #jag3jaj and they set them up pillars and ,asherim on every high hill1 and under every green tree2 #jag3jaa and there they burnt incense in all the high places1 as did the nations whom ,yahweh carried away before them2 and they worked wicked things to provoke ,yahweh to anger2 #jag3jab and they served idols1 of which ,yahweh had said to them1 ,you shall not do this thing4 #jag3jac ,yet ,yahweh testified to ,israel1 and to ,judah1 by every prophet1 and every seer1 saying1 ,turn you from your evil ways1 and keep my commandments and my statutes1 according to all the law which ,i commanded your fathers1 and which ,i sent to you by my servants the prophets4 #jag3jad ,notwithstanding1 they would not hear1 but hardened their neck1 like the neck of their fathers1 who didn't believe in ,yahweh their ,god4 #jag3jae ,they rejected his statutes1 and his covenant that he made with their fathers1 and his testimonies which he testified to them2 and they followed vanity1 and became vain1 and went after the nations that were round about them1 concerning whom ,yahweh had charged those who they should not do like them4 #jag3jaf ,they forsook all the commandments of ,yahweh their ,god1 and made them molten images1 even two calves1 and made an ,asherah1 and worshiped all the army of the sky1 and served ,baal4 #jag3jag ,they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire1 and used divination and enchantments1 and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 to provoke him to anger4 #jag3jah ,therefore ,yahweh was very angry with ,israel1 and removed them out of his sight3 there was none left but the tribe of ,judah only4 #jag3jai ,also ,judah didn't keep the commandments of ,yahweh their ,god1 but walked in the statutes of ,israel which they made4 #jag3jbj ,yahweh rejected all the seed of ,israel1 and afflicted them1 and delivered them into the hand of spoilers1 until he had cast them out of his sight4 #jag3jba ,for he tore ,israel from the house of ,david2 and they made ,jeroboam the son of ,nebat king3 and ,jeroboam drove ,israel from following ,yahweh1 and made them sin a great sin4 #jag3jbb ,the children of ,israel walked in all the sins of ,jeroboam which he did2 they didn't depart from them2 #jag3jbc until ,yahweh removed ,israel out of his sight1 as he spoke by all his servants the prophets4 ,so ,israel was carried away out of their own land to ,assyria to this day4 #jag3jbd ,the king of ,assyria brought men from ,babylon1 and from ,cuthah1 and from ,avva1 and from ,hamath and ,sepharvaim1 and placed them in the cities of ,samaria instead of the children of ,israel2 and they possessed ,samaria1 and lived in the cities of it4 #jag3jbe ,so it was1 at the beginning of their dwelling there1 that they didn't fear ,yahweh3 therefore ,yahweh sent lions among them1 which killed some of them4 #jag3jbf ,therefore they spoke to the king of ,assyria1 saying1 ,the nations which you have carried away1 and placed in the cities of ,samaria1 don't know the law of the god of the land3 therefore he has sent lions among them1 and behold1 they kill them1 because they don't know the law of the god of the land4 #jag3jbg ,then the king of ,assyria commanded1 saying1 ,carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there2 and let them go and dwell there1 and let him teach them the law of the god of the land4 #jag3jbh ,so one of the priests whom they had carried away from ,samaria came and lived in ,bethel1 and taught them how they should fear ,yahweh4 #jag3jbi ,however every nation made gods of their own1 and put them in the houses of the high places which the ,samaritans had made1 every nation in their cities in which they lived4 #jag3jcj ,the men of ,babylon made ,succoth ,benoth1 and the men of ,cuth made ,nergal1 and the men of ,hamath made ,ashima1 #jag3jca and the ,avvites made ,nibhaz and ,tartak2 and the ,sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to ,adrammelech and ,anammelech1 the gods of ,sepharvaim4 #jag3jcb ,so they feared ,yahweh1 and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places1 who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places4 #jag3jcc ,they feared ,yahweh1 and served their own gods1 after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away4 #jag3jcd ,to this day they do after the former manner3 they don't fear ,yahweh1 neither do they after their statutes1 or after their ordinances1 or after the law or after the commandment which ,yahweh commanded the children of ,jacob1 whom he named ,israel2 #jag3jce with whom ,yahweh had made a covenant1 and charged them1 saying1 ,you shall not fear other gods1 nor bow yourselves to them1 nor serve them1 nor sacrifice to them3 #jag3jcf but ,yahweh1 who brought you up out of the land of ,egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm1 him shall you fear1 and to him shall you bow yourselves1 and to him shall you sacrifice3 #jag3jcg and the statutes and the ordinances1 and the law and the commandment1 which he wrote for you1 you shall observe to do forevermore2 and you shall not fear other gods3 #jag3jch and the covenant that ,i have made with you you shall not forget2 neither shall you fear other gods3 #jag3jci but ,yahweh your ,god shall you fear2 and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies4 #jag3jdj ,however they did not listen1 but they did after their former manner4 #jag3jda ,so these nations feared ,yahweh1 and served their engraved images2 their children likewise1 and their children's children1 as did their fathers1 so do they to this day4 #jah3jja ,now it happened in the third year of ,hoshea son of ,elah king of ,israel1 that ,hezekiah the son of ,ahaz king of ,judah began to reign4 #jah3jjb ,he was twenty-five years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned twenty-nine years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,abi the daughter of ,zechariah4 #jah3jjc ,he did that which was right in the eyes of ,yahweh1 according to all that ,david his father had done4 #jah3jjd ,he removed the high places1 and broke the pillars1 and cut down the ,asherah3 and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that ,moses had made2 for to those days the children of ,israel did burn incense to it2 and he called it ,nehushtan4 #jah3jje ,he trusted in ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel2 so that after him was none like him among all the kings of ,judah1 nor among them that were before him4 #jah3jjf ,for he joined with ,yahweh2 he didn't depart from following him1 but kept his commandments1 which ,yahweh commanded ,moses4 #jah3jjg ,yahweh was with him2 wherever he went forth he prospered3 and he rebelled against the king of ,assyria1 and didn't serve him4 #jah3jjh ,he struck the ,philistines to ,gaza and the borders of it1 from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city4 #jah3jji ,it happened in the fourth year of king ,hezekiah1 which was the seventh year of ,hoshea son of ,elah king of ,israel1 that ,shalmaneser king of ,assyria came up against ,samaria1 and besieged it4 #jah3jaj ,at the end of three years they took it3 in the sixth year of ,hezekiah1 which was the ninth year of ,hoshea king of ,israel1 ,samaria was taken4 #jah3jaa ,the king of ,assyria carried ,israel away to ,assyria1 and put them in ,halah1 and on the ,habor1 the river of ,gozan1 and in the cities of the ,medes1 #jah3jab because they didn't obey the voice of ,yahweh their ,god1 but transgressed his covenant1 even all that ,moses the servant of ,yahweh commanded1 and would not hear it1 nor do it4 #jah3jac ,now in the fourteenth year of king ,hezekiah did ,sennacherib king of ,assyria come up against all the fortified cities of ,judah1 and took them4 #jah3jad ,hezekiah king of ,judah sent to the king of ,assyria to ,lachish1 saying1 ,i have offended2 return from me3 that which you put on me will ,i bear4 ,the king of ,assyria appointed to ,hezekiah king of ,judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold4 #jah3jae ,hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of ,yahweh1 and in the treasures of the king's house4 #jah3jaf ,at that time did ,hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of ,yahweh1 and from the pillars which ,hezekiah king of ,judah had overlaid1 and gave it to the king of ,assyria4 #jah3jag ,the king of ,assyria sent ,tartan and ,rabsaris and ,rabshakeh from ,lachish to king ,hezekiah with a great army to ,jerusalem4 ,they went up and came to ,jerusalem4 ,when they were come up1 they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool1 which is in the highway of the fuller's field4 #jah3jah ,when they had called to the king1 there came out to them ,eliakim the son of ,hilkiah1 who was over the household1 and ,shebnah the scribe1 and ,joah the son of ,asaph the recorder4 #jah3jai ,rabshakeh said to them1 ,say you now to ,hezekiah1 ,thus says the great king1 the king of ,assyria1 ,what confidence is this in which you trust8 #jah3jbj ,you say 7but they are but vain words71 ,there is counsel and strength for the war4 ,now on whom do you trust1 that you have rebelled against me8 #jah3jba ,now1 behold1 you trust on the staff of this bruised reed1 even on ,egypt2 whereon if a man lean1 it will go into his hand1 and pierce it3 so is ,pharaoh king of ,egypt to all who trust on him4 #jah3jbb ,but if you tell me1 ,we trust in ,yahweh our ,god2 isn't that he whose high places and whose altars ,hezekiah has taken away1 and has said to ,judah and to ,jerusalem1 ,you shall worship before this altar in ,jerusalem8 #jah3jbc ,now therefore1 ,please give pledges to my master the king of ,assyria1 and ,i will give you two thousand horses1 if you are able on your part to set riders on them4 #jah3jbd ,how then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants1 and put your trust on ,egypt for chariots and for horsemen8 #jah3jbe ,am ,i now come up without ,yahweh against this place to destroy it8 ,yahweh said to me1 ,go up against this land1 and destroy it4 #jah3jbf ,then said ,eliakim the son of ,hilkiah1 and ,shebnah1 and ,joah1 to ,rabshakeh1 ,please speak to your servants in the ,syrian language2 for we understand it3 and don't speak with us in the ,jews' language1 in the ears of the people who are on the wall4 #jah3jbg ,but ,rabshakeh said to them1 ,has my master sent me to your master1 and to you1 to speak these words8 ,hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall1 to eat their own dung1 and to drink their own water with you8 #jah3jbh ,then ,rabshakeh stood1 and cried with a loud voice in the ,jews' language1 and spoke1 saying1 ,hear you the word of the great king1 the king of ,assyria4 #jah3jbi ,thus says the king1 ,don't let ,hezekiah deceive you2 for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand3 #jah3jcj neither let ,hezekiah make you trust in ,yahweh1 saying1 ,yahweh will surely deliver us1 and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of ,assyria4 #jah3jca ,don't listen to ,hezekiah3 for thus says the king of ,assyria1 ,make your peace with me1 and come out to me2 and eat you everyone of his vine1 and everyone of his fig tree1 and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern2 #jah3jcb ,until ,i come and take you away to a land like your own land1 a land of grain and new wine1 a land of bread and vineyards1 a land of olive trees and of honey1 that you may live1 and not die3 and don't listen to ,hezekiah1 when he persuades you1 saying1 ,yahweh will deliver us4 #jah3jcc ,has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of ,assyria8 #jah3jcd ,where are the gods of ,hamath1 and of ,arpad8 where are the gods of ,sepharvaim1 of ,hena1 and ,ivvah8 have they delivered ,samaria out of my hand8 #jah3jce ,who are they among all the gods of the countries1 that have delivered their country out of my hand1 that ,yahweh should deliver ,jerusalem out of my hand8 #jah3jcf ,but the people held their peace1 and answered him not a word2 for the king's commandment was1 saying1 ,don't answer him4 #jah3jcg ,then came ,eliakim the son of ,hilkiah1 who was over the household1 and ,shebna the scribe1 and ,joah the son of ,asaph the recorder1 to ,hezekiah with their clothes torn1 and told him the words of ,rabshakeh4 #jai3jja ,it happened1 when king ,hezekiah heard it1 that he tore his clothes1 and covered himself with sackcloth1 and went into the house of ,yahweh4 #jai3jjb ,he sent ,eliakim1 who was over the household1 and ,shebna the scribe1 and the elders of the priests1 covered with sackcloth1 to ,isaiah the prophet the son of ,amoz4 #jai3jjc ,they said to him1 ,thus says ,hezekiah1 ,this day is a day of trouble1 and of rebuke1 and of rejection2 for the children are come to the birth1 and there is not strength to bring forth4 #jai3jjd ,it may be ,yahweh your ,god will hear all the words of ,rabshakeh1 whom the king of ,assyria his master has sent to defy the living ,god1 and will rebuke the words which ,yahweh your ,god has heard4 ,therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left4 #jai3jje ,so the servants of king ,hezekiah came to ,isaiah4 #jai3jjf ,isaiah said to them1 ,thus shall you tell your master1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,don't be afraid of the words that you have heard1 with which the servants of the king of ,assyria have blasphemed me4 #jai3jjg ,behold1 ,i will put a spirit in him1 and he shall hear news1 and shall return to his own land2 and ,i will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land4 #jai3jjh ,so ,rabshakeh returned1 and found the king of ,assyria warring against ,libnah2 for he had heard that he was departed from ,lachish4 #jai3jji ,when he heard say of ,tirhakah king of ,ethiopia1 ,behold1 he is come out to fight against you1 he sent messengers again to ,hezekiah1 saying1 #jai3jaj ,thus shall you speak to ,hezekiah king of ,judah1 saying1 ,don't let your ,god in whom you trust deceive you1 saying1 ,jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of ,assyria4 #jai3jaa ,behold1 you have heard what the kings of ,assyria have done to all lands1 by destroying them utterly3 and shall you be delivered8 #jai3jab ,have the gods of the nations delivered them1 which my fathers have destroyed1 ,gozan1 and ,haran1 and ,rezeph1 and the children of ,eden that were in ,telassar8 #jai3jac ,where is the king of ,hamath1 and the king of ,arpad1 and the king of the city of ,sepharvaim1 of ,hena1 and ,ivvah8 #jai3jad ,hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers1 and read it2 and ,hezekiah went up to the house of ,yahweh1 and spread it before ,yahweh4 #jai3jae ,hezekiah prayed before ,yahweh1 and said1 ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 who sit above the cherubim1 you are the ,god1 even you alone1 of all the kingdoms of the earth2 you have made heaven and earth4 #jai3jaf ,incline your ear1 ,yahweh1 and hear2 open your eyes1 ,yahweh1 and see2 and hear the words of ,sennacherib1 with which he has sent him to defy the living ,god4 #jai3jag ,of a truth1 ,yahweh1 the kings of ,assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands1 #jai3jah and have cast their gods into the fire2 for they were no gods1 but the work of men's hands1 wood and stone2 therefore they have destroyed them4 #jai3jai ,now therefore1 ,yahweh our ,god1 save you us1 ,i beg you1 out of his hand1 that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you ,yahweh are ,god alone4 #jai3jbj ,then ,isaiah the son of ,amoz sent to ,hezekiah1 saying1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,whereas you have prayed to me against ,sennacherib king of ,assyria1 ,i have heard you4 #jai3jba ,this is the word that ,yahweh has spoken concerning him3 ,the virgin daughter of ,zion has despised you and ridiculed you2 the daughter of ,jerusalem has shaken her head at you4 #jai3jbb ,whom have you defied and blasphemed8 and against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high8 even against the ,holy ,one of ,israel4 #jai3jbc ,by your messengers you have defied the ,lord1 and have said1 ,with the multitude of my chariots am ,i come up to the height of the mountains1 to the innermost parts of ,lebanon2 and ,i will cut down the tall cedars of it1 and the choice fir trees of it2 and ,i will enter into his farthest lodging place1 the forest of his fruitful field4 #jai3jbd ,i have dug and drunk strange waters1 and with the sole of my feet will ,i dry up all the rivers of ,egypt4 #jai3jbe ,haven't you heard how ,i have done it long ago1 and formed it of ancient times8 now have ,i brought it to pass1 that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps4 #jai3jbf ,therefore their inhabitants were of small power1 they were dismayed and confounded2 they were as the grass of the field1 and as the green herb1 as the grass on the housetops1 and as grain blasted before it is grown up4 #jai3jbg ,but ,i know your sitting down1 and your going out1 and your coming in1 and your raging against me4 #jai3jbh ,because of your raging against me1 and because your arrogance is come up into my ears1 therefore will ,i put my hook in your nose1 and my bridle in your lips1 and ,i will turn you back by the way by which you came4 #jai3jbi ,this shall be the sign to you3 ,you shall eat this year that which grows of itself1 and in the second year that which springs of the same2 and in the third year sow you1 and reap1 and plant vineyards1 and eat the fruit of it4 #jai3jcj ,the remnant that has escaped of the house of ,judah shall again take root downward1 and bear fruit upward4 #jai3jca ,for out of ,jerusalem shall go forth a remnant1 and out of ,mount ,zion those who shall escape3 the zeal of ,yahweh shall perform this4 #jai3jcb ,therefore thus says ,yahweh concerning the king of ,assyria1 ,he shall not come to this city1 nor shoot an arrow there1 neither shall he come before it with shield1 nor cast up a mound against it4 #jai3jcc ,by the way that he came1 by the same shall he return1 and he shall not come to this city1 says ,yahweh4 #jai3jcd ,for ,i will defend this city to save it1 for my own sake1 and for my servant ,david's sake4 #jai3jce ,it happened that night1 that the angel of ,yahweh went forth1 and struck in the camp of the ,assyrians one hundred eighty-five thousand3 and when men arose early in the morning1 behold1 these were all dead bodies4 #jai3jcf ,so ,sennacherib king of ,assyria departed1 and went and returned1 and lived at ,nineveh4 #jai3jcg ,it happened1 as he was worshipping in the house of ,nisroch his god1 that ,adrammelech and ,sharezer struck him with the sword3 and they escaped into the land of ,ararat4 ,esar ,haddon his son reigned in his place4 #jbj3jja ,in those days was ,hezekiah sick to death4 ,isaiah the prophet the son of ,amoz came to him1 and said to him1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,set your house in order3 for you shall die1 and not live4 #jbj3jjb ,then he turned his face to the wall1 and prayed to ,yahweh1 saying1 #jbj3jjc ,remember now1 ,yahweh1 ,i beg you1 how ,i have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart1 and have done that which is good in your sight4 ,hezekiah wept sore4 #jbj3jjd ,it happened1 before ,isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city1 that the word of ,yahweh came to him1 saying1 #jbj3jje ,turn back1 and tell ,hezekiah the prince of my people1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,david your father1 ,i have heard your prayer1 ,i have seen your tears3 behold1 ,i will heal you2 on the third day you shall go up to the house of ,yahweh4 #jbj3jjf ,i will add to your days fifteen years2 and ,i will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of ,assyria2 and ,i will defend this city for my own sake1 and for my servant ,david's sake4 #jbj3jjg ,isaiah said1 ,take a cake of figs4 ,they took and laid it on the boil1 and he recovered4 #jbj3jjh ,hezekiah said to ,isaiah1 ,what shall be the sign that ,yahweh will heal me1 and that ,i shall go up to the house of ,yahweh the third day8 #jbj3jji ,isaiah said1 ,this shall be the sign to you from ,yahweh1 that ,yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken3 shall the shadow go forward ten steps1 or go back ten steps8 #jbj3jaj ,hezekiah answered1 ,it is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps3 nay1 but let the shadow return backward ten steps4 #jbj3jaa ,isaiah the prophet cried to ,yahweh2 and he brought the shadow ten steps backward1 by which it had gone down on the dial of ,ahaz4 #jbj3jab ,at that time ,berodach ,baladan the son of ,baladan1 king of ,babylon1 sent letters and a present to ,hezekiah2 for he had heard that ,hezekiah had been sick4 #jbj3jac ,hezekiah listened to them1 and shown them all the house of his precious things1 the silver1 and the gold1 and the spices1 and the precious oil1 and the house of his armor1 and all that was found in his treasures3 there was nothing in his house1 nor in all his dominion1 that ,hezekiah didn't show them4 #jbj3jad ,then came ,isaiah the prophet to king ,hezekiah1 and said to him1 ,what said these men8 and from whence came they to you8 ,hezekiah said1 ,they are come from a far country1 even from ,babylon4 #jbj3jae ,he said1 ,what have they seen in your house8 ,hezekiah answered1 ,all that is in my house have they seen3 there is nothing among my treasures that ,i have not shown them4 #jbj3jaf ,isaiah said to ,hezekiah1 ,hear the word of ,yahweh4 #jbj3jag ,behold1 the days come1 that all that is in your house1 and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day1 shall be carried to ,babylon3 nothing shall be left1 says ,yahweh4 #jbj3jah ,of your sons who shall issue from you1 whom you shall father1 shall they take away2 and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of ,babylon4 #jbj3jai ,then said ,hezekiah to ,isaiah1 ,good is the word of ,yahweh which you have spoken4 ,he said moreover1 ,isn't it so1 if peace and truth shall be in my days8 #jbj3jbj ,now the rest of the acts of ,hezekiah1 and all his might1 and how he made the pool1 and the conduit1 and brought water into the city1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jbj3jba ,hezekiah slept with his fathers2 and ,manasseh his son reigned in his place4 #jba3jja ,manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned fifty-five years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,hephzibah4 #jba3jjb ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 after the abominations of the nations whom ,yahweh cast out before the children of ,israel4 #jba3jjc ,for he built again the high places which ,hezekiah his father had destroyed2 and he reared up altars for ,baal1 and made an ,asherah1 as did ,ahab king of ,israel1 and worshiped all the army of the sky1 and served them4 #jba3jjd ,he built altars in the house of ,yahweh1 of which ,yahweh said1 ,in ,jerusalem will ,i put my name4 #jba3jje ,he built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of ,yahweh4 #jba3jjf ,he made his son to pass through the fire1 and practiced sorcery1 and used enchantments1 and dealt with those who had familiar spirits1 and with wizards3 he worked much evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 to provoke him to anger4 #jba3jjg ,he set the engraved image of ,asherah1 that he had made1 in the house of which ,yahweh said to ,david and to ,solomon his son1 ,in this house1 and in ,jerusalem1 which ,i have chosen out of all the tribes of ,israel1 will ,i put my name forever2 #jba3jjh neither will ,i cause the feet of ,israel to wander any more out of the land which ,i gave their fathers1 if only they will observe to do according to all that ,i have commanded them1 and according to all the law that my servant ,moses commanded them4 #jba3jji ,but they didn't listen3 and ,manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom ,yahweh destroyed before the children of ,israel4 #jba3jaj ,yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets1 saying1 #jba3jaa ,because ,manasseh king of ,judah has done these abominations1 and has done wickedly above all that the ,amorites did1 who were before him1 and has made ,judah also to sin with his idols2 #jba3jab therefore thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,behold1 ,i bring such evil on ,jerusalem and ,judah1 that whoever hears of it1 both his ears shall tingle4 #jba3jac ,i will stretch over ,jerusalem the line of ,samaria1 and the plummet of the house of ,ahab2 and ,i will wipe ,jerusalem as a man wipes a dish1 wiping it and turning it upside down4 #jba3jad ,i will cast off the remnant of my inheritance1 and deliver them into the hand of their enemies2 and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies2 #jba3jae because they have done that which is evil in my sight1 and have provoked me to anger1 since the day their fathers came forth out of ,egypt1 even to this day4 #jba3jaf ,moreover ,manasseh shed innocent blood very much1 until he had filled ,jerusalem from one end to another2 besides his sin with which he made ,judah to sin1 in doing that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh4 #jba3jag ,now the rest of the acts of ,manasseh1 and all that he did1 and his sin that he sinned1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jba3jah ,manasseh slept with his fathers1 and was buried in the garden of his own house1 in the garden of ,uzza3 and ,amon his son reigned in his place4 #jba3jai ,amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned two years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,meshullemeth the daughter of ,haruz of ,jotbah4 #jba3jbj ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 as did ,manasseh his father4 #jba3jba ,he walked in all the way that his father walked in1 and served the idols that his father served1 and worshiped them3 #jba3jbb and he forsook ,yahweh1 the ,god of his fathers1 and didn't walk in the way of ,yahweh4 #jba3jbc ,the servants of ,amon conspired against him1 and put the king to death in his own house4 #jba3jbd ,but the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king ,amon2 and the people of the land made ,josiah his son king in his place4 #jba3jbe ,now the rest of the acts of ,amon which he did1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jba3jbf ,he was buried in his tomb in the garden of ,uzza3 and ,josiah his son reigned in his place4 #jbb3jja ,josiah was eight years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned thirty-one years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,jedidah the daughter of ,adaiah of ,bozkath4 #jbb3jjb ,he did that which was right in the eyes of ,yahweh1 and walked in all the way of ,david his father1 and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left4 #jbb3jjc ,it happened in the eighteenth year of king ,josiah1 that the king sent ,shaphan1 the son of ,azaliah the son of ,meshullam1 the scribe1 to the house of ,yahweh1 saying1 #jbb3jjd ,go up to ,hilkiah the high priest1 that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of ,yahweh1 which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people3 #jbb3jje and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of ,yahweh2 and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of ,yahweh1 to repair the breaches of the house1 #jbb3jjf to the carpenters1 and to the builders1 and to the masons1 and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house4 #jbb3jjg ,however there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand2 for they dealt faithfully4 #jbb3jjh ,hilkiah the high priest said to ,shaphan the scribe1 ,i have found the book of the law in the house of ,yahweh4 ,hilkiah delivered the book to ,shaphan1 and he read it4 #jbb3jji ,shaphan the scribe came to the king1 and brought the king word again1 and said1 ,your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house1 and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of ,yahweh4 #jbb3jaj ,shaphan the scribe told the king1 saying1 ,hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book4 ,shaphan read it before the king4 #jbb3jaa ,it happened1 when the king had heard the words of the book of the law1 that he tore his clothes4 #jbb3jab ,the king commanded ,hilkiah the priest1 and ,ahikam the son of ,shaphan1 and ,achbor the son of ,micaiah1 and ,shaphan the scribe1 and ,asaiah the king's servant1 saying1 #jbb3jac ,go you1 inquire of ,yahweh for me1 and for the people1 and for all ,judah1 concerning the words of this book that is found2 for great is the wrath of ,yahweh that is kindled against us1 because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book1 to do according to all that which is written concerning us4 #jbb3jad ,so ,hilkiah the priest1 and ,ahikam1 and ,achbor1 and ,shaphan1 and ,asaiah1 went to ,huldah the prophetess1 the wife of ,shallum the son of ,tikvah1 the son of ,harhas1 keeper of the wardrobe 7now she lived in ,jerusalem in the second quarter72 and they talked with her4 #jbb3jae ,she said to them1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel3 ,tell you the man who sent you to me1 #jbb3jaf ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will bring evil on this place1 and on the inhabitants of it1 even all the words of the book which the king of ,judah has read4 #jbb3jag ,because they have forsaken me1 and have burned incense to other gods1 that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands1 therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place1 and it shall not be quenched4 #jbb3jah ,but to the king of ,judah1 who sent you to inquire of ,yahweh1 thus shall you tell him1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel3 ,as touching the words which you have heard1 #jbb3jai because your heart was tender1 and you did humble yourself before ,yahweh1 when you heard what ,i spoke against this place1 and against the inhabitants of it1 that they should become a desolation and a curse1 and have torn your clothes1 and wept before me2 ,i also have heard you1 says ,yahweh4 #jbb3jbj ,therefore1 behold1 ,i will gather you to your fathers1 and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace1 neither shall your eyes see all the evil which ,i will bring on this place4 ,they brought the

the priests of the second order1 and the keepers of the threshold1 to bring forth out of the temple of ,yahweh all the vessels that were made for ,baal1 and for the ,asherah1 and for all the army of the sky1 and he burned them outside of ,jerusalem in the fields of the ,kidron1 and carried the ashes of them to ,bethel4 #jbc3jje ,he put down the idolatrous priests1 whom the kings of ,judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of ,judah1 and in the places round about ,jerusalem2 those also who burned incense to ,baal1 to the sun1 and to the moon1 and to the planets1 and to all the army of the sky4 #jbc3jjf ,he brought out the ,asherah from the house of ,yahweh1 outside of ,jerusalem1 to the brook ,kidron1 and burned it at the brook ,kidron1 and beat it to dust1 and cast the dust of it on the graves of the common people4 #jbc3jjg ,he broke down the houses of the sodomites1 that were in the house of ,yahweh1 where the women wove hangings for the ,asherah4 #jbc3jjh ,he brought all the priests out of the cities of ,judah1 and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense1 from ,geba to ,beersheba2 and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of ,joshua the governor of the city1 which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city4 #jbc3jji ,nevertheless the priests of the high places didn't come up to the altar of ,yahweh in ,jerusalem1 but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers4 #jbc3jaj ,he defiled ,topheth1 which is in the valley of the children of ,hinnom1 that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to ,molech4 #jbc3jaa ,he took away the horses that the kings of ,judah had given to the sun1 at the entrance of the house of ,yahweh1 by the chamber of ,nathan ,melech the officer1 who was in the court2 and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire4 #jbc3jab ,the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of ,ahaz1 which the kings of ,judah had made1 and the altars which ,manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of ,yahweh1 did the king break down1 and beat them down from there1 and cast the dust of them into the brook ,kidron4 #jbc3jac ,the high places that were before ,jerusalem1 which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption1 which ,solomon the king of ,israel had built for ,ashtoreth the abomination of the ,sidonians1 and for ,chemosh the abomination of ,moab1 and for ,milcom the abomination of the children of ,ammon1 did the king defile4 #jbc3jad ,he broke in pieces the pillars1 and cut down the ,asherim1 and filled their places with the bones of men4 #jbc3jae ,moreover the altar that was at ,bethel1 and the high place which ,jeroboam the son of ,nebat1 who made ,israel to sin1 had made1 even that altar and the high place he broke down2 and he burned the high place and beat it to dust1 and burned the ,asherah4 #jbc3jaf ,as ,josiah turned himself1 he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain2 and he sent1 and took the bones out of the tombs1 and burned them on the altar1 and defiled it1 according to the word of ,yahweh which the man of ,god proclaimed1 who proclaimed these things4 #jbc3jag ,then he said1 ,what monument is that which ,i see8 ,the men of the city told him1 ,it is the tomb of the man of ,god1 who came from ,judah1 and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of ,bethel4 #jbc3jah ,he said1 ,let him be2 let no man move his bones4 ,so they let his bones alone1 with the bones of the prophet who came out of ,samaria4 #jbc3jai ,all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of ,samaria1 which the kings of ,israel had made to provoke ,yahweh to anger1 ,josiah took away1 and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in ,bethel4 #jbc3jbj ,he killed all the priests of the high places that were there1 on the altars1 and burned men's bones on them2 and he returned to ,jerusalem4 #jbc3jba ,the king commanded all the people1 saying1 ,keep the ,passover to ,yahweh your ,god1 as it is written in this book of the covenant4 #jbc3jbb ,surely there was not kept such a ,passover from the days of the judges who judged ,israel1 nor in all the days of the kings of ,israel1 nor of the kings of ,judah2 #jbc3jbc but in the eighteenth year of king ,josiah was this ,passover kept to ,yahweh in ,jerusalem4 #jbc3jbd ,moreover those who had familiar spirits1 and the wizards1 and the teraphim1 and the idols1 and all the abominations that were seen in the land of ,judah and in ,jerusalem1 did ,josiah put away1 that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that ,hilkiah the priest found in the house of ,yahweh4 #jbc3jbe ,like him was there no king before him1 who turned to ,yahweh with all his heart1 and with all his soul1 and with all his might1 according to all the law of ,moses2 neither after him arose there any like him4 #jbc3jbf ,notwithstanding1 ,yahweh didn't turn from the fierceness of his great wrath1 with which his anger was kindled against ,judah1 because of all the provocation with which ,manasseh had provoked him4 #jbc3jbg ,yahweh said1 ,i will remove ,judah also out of my sight1 as ,i have removed ,israel1 and ,i will cast off this city which ,i have chosen1 even ,jerusalem1 and the house of which ,i said1 ,my name shall be there4 #jbc3jbh ,now the rest of the acts of ,josiah1 and all that he did1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jbc3jbi ,in his days ,pharaoh ,necoh king of ,egypt went up against the king of ,assyria to the river ,euphrates3 and king ,josiah went against him2 and ,pharaoh ,necoh killed him at ,megiddo1 when he had seen him4 #jbc3jcj ,his servants carried him in a chariot dead from ,megiddo1 and brought him to ,jerusalem1 and buried him in his own tomb4 ,the people of the land took ,jehoahaz the son of ,josiah1 and anointed him1 and made him king in his father's place4 #jbc3jca ,jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned three months in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,hamutal the daughter of ,jeremiah of ,libnah4 #jbc3jcb ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 according to all that his fathers had done4 #jbc3jcc ,pharaoh ,necoh put him in bonds at ,riblah in the land of ,hamath1 that he might not reign in ,jerusalem2 and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver1 and a talent of gold4 #jbc3jcd ,pharaoh ,necoh made ,eliakim the son of ,josiah king in the room of ,josiah his father1 and changed his name to ,jehoiakim3 but he took ,jehoahaz away2 and he came to ,egypt1 and died there4 #jbc3jce ,jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to ,pharaoh2 but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of ,pharaoh3 he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land1 of everyone according to his taxation1 to give it to ,pharaoh ,necoh4 #jbc3jcf ,jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned eleven years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,zebidah the daughter of ,pedaiah of ,rumah4 #jbc3jcg ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 according to all that his fathers had done4 #jbd3jja ,in his days ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon came up1 and ,jehoiakim became his servant three years3 then he turned and rebelled against him4 #jbd3jjb ,yahweh sent against him bands of the ,chaldeans1 and bands of the ,syrians1 and bands of the ,moabites1 and bands of the children of ,ammon1 and sent them against ,judah to destroy it1 according to the word of ,yahweh1 which he spoke by his servants the prophets4 #jbd3jjc ,surely at the commandment of ,yahweh came this on ,judah1 to remove them out of his sight1 for the sins of ,manasseh1 according to all that he did1 #jbd3jjd and also for the innocent blood that he shed2 for he filled ,jerusalem with innocent blood3 and ,yahweh would not pardon4 #jbd3jje ,now the rest of the acts of ,jehoiakim1 and all that he did1 aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of ,judah8 #jbd3jjf ,so ,jehoiakim slept with his fathers2 and ,jehoiachin his son reigned in his place4 #jbd3jjg ,the king of ,egypt didn't come again out of his land any more2 for the king of ,babylon had taken1 from the brook of ,egypt to the river

the daughter of ,elnathan of ,jerusalem4 #jbd3jji ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 according to all that his father had done4 #jbd3jaj ,at that time the servants of ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon came up to ,jerusalem1 and the city was besieged4 #jbd3jaa ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon came to the city1 while his servants were besieging it2 #jbd3jab and ,jehoiachin the king

,yahweh1 as ,yahweh had said4 #jbd3jad ,he carried away all ,jerusalem1 and all the princes1 and all the mighty men of valor1 even ten thousand captives1 and all the craftsmen and the smiths2 none remained1 save the poorest sort of the people of the land4 #jbd3jae ,he carried away ,jehoiachin to ,babylon2 and the king's mother1 and the king's wives1 and his officers1 and the chief men of the land1 carried he into captivity from ,jerusalem to ,babylon4 #jbd3jaf ,all the men of might1 even seven thousand1 and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand1 all of them strong and apt for war1 even them the king of ,babylon brought captive to ,babylon4 #jbd3jag ,the king of ,babylon made ,mattaniah1 ,jehoiachin's father's brother1 king is his place1 and changed his name to ,zedekiah4 #jbd3jah ,zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign2 and he reigned eleven years in ,jerusalem3 and his mother's name was ,hamutal the daughter of ,jeremiah of ,libnah4 #jbd3jai ,he did that which was evil in the sight of ,yahweh1 according to all that ,jehoiakim had done4 #jbd3jbj ,for through the anger of ,yahweh did it happen in ,jerusalem and ,judah1 until he had cast them out from his presence4 ,zedekiah rebelled against the king of ,babylon4 #jbe3jja ,it happened in the ninth year of his reign1 in the tenth month1 in the tenth day of the month1 that ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon came1 he and all his army1 against ,jerusalem1 and encamped against it2 and they built forts against it round about4 #jbe3jjb ,so the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king ,zedekiah4 #jbe3jjc ,on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city1 so that there was no bread for the people of the land4 #jbe3jjd ,then a breach was made in the city1 and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls1 which was by the king's garden 7now the ,chaldeans were against the city round about72 and the king went by the way of the ,arabah4 #jbe3jje ,but the army of the ,chaldeans pursued after the king1 and overtook him in the plains of ,jericho2 and all his army was scattered from him4 #jbe3jjf ,then they took the king1 and carried him up to the king of ,babylon to ,riblah2 and they gave judgment on him4 #jbe3jjg ,they killed the sons of ,zedekiah before his eyes1 and put out the eyes of ,zedekiah1 and bound him in fetters1 and carried him to ,babylon4 #jbe3jjh ,now in the fifth month1 on the seventh day of the month1 which was the nineteenth year of king ,nebuchadnezzar1 king of ,babylon1 came ,nebuzaradan the captain of the guard1 a servant of the king of ,babylon1 to ,jerusalem4 #jbe3jji ,he burnt the house of ,yahweh1 and the king's house2 and all the houses of ,jerusalem1 even every great house1 burnt he with fire4 #jbe3jaj ,all the army of the ,chaldeans1 who were with the captain of the guard1 broke down the walls of ,jerusalem round about4 #jbe3jaa ,the residue of the people who were left in the city1 and those who fell away1 who fell to the king of ,babylon1 and the residue of the multitude1 did ,nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive4 #jbe3jab ,but the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields4 #jbe3jac ,the pillars of brass that were in the house of ,yahweh1 and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of ,yahweh1 did the ,chaldeans break in pieces1 and carried the brass of them to ,babylon4 #jbe3jad ,the pots1 and the shovels1 and the snuffers1 and the spoons1 and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered1 took they away4 #jbe3jae ,the fire pans1 and the basins1 that which was of gold1 in gold1 and that which was of silver1 in silver1 the captain of the guard took away4 #jbe3jaf ,the two

of the people of the land1 who were found in the city4 #jbe3jbj ,nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them1 and brought them to the king of ,babylon to ,riblah4 #jbe3jba ,the king of ,babylon struck them1 and put them to death at ,riblah in the land of ,hamath4 ,so ,judah was carried away captive out of his land4 #jbe3jbb ,as for the people who were left in the land of ,judah1 whom ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon had left1 even over them he made ,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam1 the son of ,shaphan1 governor4 #jbe3jbc ,now when all the captains of the forces1 they and their men1 heard that the king of ,babylon had made ,gedaliah governor1 they came to ,gedaliah to ,mizpah1 even ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah1 and ,johanan the son of ,kareah1 and ,seraiah the son of ,tanhumeth the ,netophathite1 and ,jaazaniah the son of the ,maacathite1 they and their men4 #jbe3jbd ,gedaliah swore to them and to their men1 and said to them1 ,don't be afraid because of the servants of the ,chaldeans3 dwell in the land1 and serve the king of ,babylon1 and it shall be well with you4 #jbe3jbe ,but it happened in the seventh month1 that ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah1 the son of ,elishama1
