Now Elisha{H477} had spoken{H1696} unto the woman,{H802} whose son{H1121} he had restored to life,{H2421} saying,{H559} Arise,{H6965} and go{H3212} thou and thy household,{H1004} and sojourn{H1481} wheresoever{H834} thou canst sojourn:{H1481} for Jehovah{H3068} hath called{H7121} for a famine;{H7458} and it shall also come{H935} upon the land{H776} seven{H7651} years.{H8141}

And the woman{H802} arose,{H6965} and did{H6213} according to the word{H1697} of the man{H376} of God;{H430} and she went{H3212} with her household,{H1004} and sojourned{H1481} in the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430} seven{H7651} years.{H8141}

And it came to pass at the seven{H7651} years'{H8141} end,{H7097} that the woman{H802} returned{H7725} out of the land{H776} of the Philistines:{H6430} and she went forth{H3318} to cry{H6817} unto the king{H4428} for her house{H1004} and for her land.{H7704}

Now the king{H4428} was talking{H1696} with Gehazi{H1522} the servant{H5288} of the man{H376} of God,{H430} saying,{H559} Tell{H5608} me, I pray thee, all the great things{H1419} that Elisha{H477} hath done.{H6213}

And it came to pass, as he was telling{H5608} the king{H4428} how he had restored{H2421} to life{H2421} him that was dead,{H4191} that, behold, the woman,{H802} whose son{H1121} he had restored to life,{H2421} cried{H6817} to the king{H4428} for her house{H1004} and for her land.{H7704} And Gehazi{H1522} said,{H559} My lord,{H113} O king,{H4428} this is the woman,{H802} and this is her son,{H1121} whom Elisha{H477} restored to life.{H2421}

And when the king{H4428} asked{H7592} the woman,{H802} she told{H5608} him. So the king{H4428} appointed{H5414} unto her a certain{H259} officer,{H5631} saying,{H559} Restore{H7725} all that was hers, and all the fruits{H8393} of the field{H7704} since the day{H3117} that she left{H5800} the land,{H776} even until now.

And Elisha{H477} came{H935} to Damascus;{H1834} and Benhadad{H1130} the king{H4428} of Syria{H758} was sick;{H2470} and it was told{H5046} him, saying,{H559} The man{H376} of God{H430} is come{H935} hither.{H2008}

And the king{H4428} said{H559} unto Hazael,{H2371} Take{H3947} a present{H4503} in thy hand,{H3027} and go,{H3212} meet{H7125} the man{H376} of God,{H430} and inquire{H1875} of Jehovah{H3068} by him, saying,{H559} Shall I recover{H2421} of this sickness?{H2483}

So Hazael{H2371} went{H3212} to meet{H7125} him, and took{H3947} a present{H4503} with him,{H3027} even of every good thing{H2898} of Damascus,{H1834} forty{H705} camels'{H1581} burden,{H4853} and came{H935} and stood{H5975} before{H6440} him, and said,{H559} Thy son{H1121} Benhadad{H1130} king{H4428} of Syria{H758} hath sent{H7971} me to thee, saying,{H559} Shall I recover{H2421} of this sickness?{H2483}

And Elisha{H477} said{H559} unto him, Go,{H3212} say{H559} unto him, Thou shalt surely{H2421} recover;{H2421} howbeit Jehovah{H3068} hath showed{H7200} me that he shall surely{H4191} die.{H4191}

And he settled{H5975} his countenance{H6440} stedfastly{H7760} [upon him], until he was ashamed:{H954} and the man{H376} of God{H430} wept.{H1058}

And Hazael{H2371} said,{H559} Why weepeth{H1058} my lord?{H113} And he answered,{H559} Because I know{H3045} the evil{H7451} that thou wilt do{H6213} unto the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478} their strongholds{H4013} wilt thou set{H7971} on fire,{H784} and their young men{H970} wilt thou slay{H2026} with the sword,{H2719} and wilt dash{H7376} in pieces their little ones,{H5768} and rip up{H1234} their women with child.{H2030}

And Hazael{H2371} said,{H559} But what is thy servant,{H5650} who is but a dog,{H3611} that he should do{H6213} this great{H1419} thing?{H1697} And Elisha{H477} answered,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} hath showed{H7200} me that thou shalt be king{H4428} over Syria.{H758}

Then he departed{H3212} from Elisha,{H477} and came{H935} to his master;{H113} who said{H559} to him, What said{H559} Elisha{H477} to thee? And he answered,{H559} He told{H559} me that thou wouldest surely{H2421} recover.{H2421}

And it came to pass on the morrow,{H4283} that he took{H3947} the coverlet,{H4346} and dipped{H2881} it in water,{H4325} and spread{H6566} it on his face,{H6440} so that he died:{H4191} and Hazael{H2371} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

And in the fifth{H2568} year{H8141} of Joram{H3141} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} Jehoshaphat{H3092} being then king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} Jehoram{H3088} the son{H1121} of Jehoshaphat{H3092} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} began to reign.{H4427}

Thirty{H7970} and two{H8147} years{H8141} old{H1121} was he when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} eight{H8083} years{H8141} in Jerusalem.{H3389}

And he walked{H3212} in the way{H1870} of the kings{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} as did{H6213} the house{H1004} of Ahab:{H256} for he had the daughter{H1323} of Ahab{H256} to wife;{H802} and he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah.{H3068}

Howbeit Jehovah{H3068} would{H14} not destroy{H7843} Judah,{H3063} for David{H1732} his servant's{H5650} sake, as he promised{H559} him to give{H5414} unto him a lamp{H5216} for his children{H1121} alway.{H3117}

In his days{H3117} Edom{H123} revolted{H6586} from under the hand{H3027} of Judah,{H3063} and made{H4427} a king{H4428} over themselves.

Then Joram{H3141} passed over{H5674} to Zair,{H6811} and all his chariots{H7393} with him: and he rose{H6965} up by night,{H3915} and smote{H5221} the Edomites{H123} that compassed him about,{H5437} and the captains{H8269} of the chariots;{H7393} and the people{H5971} fled{H5127} to their tents.{H168}

So Edom{H123} revolted{H6586} from under the hand{H3027} of Judah{H3063} unto this day.{H3117} Then did Libnah{H3841} revolt{H6586} at the same{H1931} time.{H6256}

And the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Joram,{H3141} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

And Joram{H3141} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} with his fathers{H1} in the city{H5892} of David;{H1732} and Ahaziah{H274} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

In the twelfth{H6240} year{H8141} of Joram{H3141} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} did Ahaziah{H274} the son{H1121} of Jehoram{H3088} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} begin to reign.{H4427}

Two{H8147} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} was Ahaziah{H274} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} one{H259} year{H8141} in Jerusalem.{H3389} And his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Athaliah{H6271} the daughter{H1323} of Omri{H6018} king{H4428} of Israel.{H3478}

And he walked{H3212} in the way{H1870} of the house{H1004} of Ahab,{H256} and did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} as did the house{H1004} of Ahab;{H256} for he was the son-in-law{H2860} of the house{H1004} of Ahab.{H256}

And he went{H3212} with Joram{H3141} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} to war{H4421} against Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria{H758} at Ramoth-gilead:{H7433} and the Syrians{H761} wounded{H5221} Joram.{H3141}

And king{H4428} Joram{H3141} returned{H7725} to be healed{H7495} in Jezreel{H3157} of the wounds{H4347} which the Syrians{H761} had given{H5221} him at Ramah,{H7414} when he fought{H3898} against Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria.{H758} And Ahaziah{H274} the son{H1121} of Jehoram{H3088} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} went down{H3381} to see{H7200} Joram{H3141} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} in Jezreel,{H3157} because he was sick.{H2470}
