2 Kings 6:24--7:20

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Benhadad
<01130>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

gathered
<06908> (8799)

all his host
<04264>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_.

And there was a great
<01419>

famine
<07458>

in Samaria
<08111>_:

and, behold, they besieged
<06696> (8802)

it, until an ass's
<02543>

head
<07218>

was [sold] for fourscore
<08084>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and the fourth part
<07255>

of a cab
<06894>

of dove's dung
<01686> (8675) <03123> <02755>

for five
<02568>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.

And as the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

was passing by
<05674> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_,

there cried
<06817> (8804)

a woman
<0802>

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the LORD
<03068>

do not help
<03467> (8686)

thee, whence
<0370>

shall I help
<03467> (8686)

thee? out of the barnfloor
<01637>_,

or out of the winepress
<03342>_?

{If...: or, Let not the LORD save thee}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

This woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Give
<05414> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8799)

him to day
<03117>_,

and we will eat
<0398> (8799)

my son
<01121>

to morrow
<04279>_.

So we boiled
<01310> (8762)

my son
<01121>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

him: and I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her on the next
<0312>

day
<03117>_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8799)

him: and she hath hid
<02244> (8686)

her son
<01121>_.

{next: Heb. other}

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the woman
<0802>_,

that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_;

and he passed by
<05674> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_,

and the people
<05971>

looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, [he had] sackcloth
<08242>

within
<01004>

upon his flesh
<01320>_.

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

do
<06213> (8799)

so and more
<03254> (8686)

also to me, if the head
<07218>

of Elisha
<0477>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphat
<08202>

shall stand
<05975> (8799)

on him this day
<03117>_.

But Elisha
<0477>

sat
<03427> (8802)

in his house
<01004>_,

and the elders
<02205>

sat
<03427> (8802)

with him; and [the king] sent
<07971> (8799)

a man
<0376>

from before
<06440>

him: but ere the messenger
<04397>

came
<0935> (8799)

to him, he said
<0559> (8804)

to the elders
<02205>_,

See
<07200> (8804)

ye how this son
<01121>

of a murderer
<07523> (8764)

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

to take away
<05493> (8687)

mine head
<07218>_?

look
<07200> (8798)_,

when the messenger
<04397>

cometh
<0935> (8800)_,

shut
<05462> (8798)

the door
<01817>_,

and hold him fast
<03905> (8804)

at the door
<01817>_:

[is] not the sound
<06963>

of his master's
<0113>

feet
<07272>

behind
<0310>

him?

And while he yet talked
<01696> (8764)

with them, behold, the messenger
<04397>

came down
<03381> (8802)

unto him: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, this evil
<07451>

[is] of the LORD
<03068>_;

what should I wait
<03176> (8686)

for the LORD
<03068>

any longer?

Then Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

To morrow
<04279>

about this time
<06256>

[shall] a measure
<05429>

of fine flour
<05560>

[be sold] for a shekel
<08255>_,

and two measures
<05429>

of barley
<08184>

for a shekel
<08255>_,

in the gate
<08179>

of Samaria
<08111>_.

Then a lord
<07991>

on whose hand
<03027>

the king
<04428>

leaned
<08172> (8737)

answered
<06030> (8799)

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [if] the LORD
<03068>

would make
<06213> (8802)

windows
<0699>

in heaven
<08064>_,

might this thing
<01697>

be? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)

[it] with thine eyes
<05869>_,

but shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof. {a lord...: Heb. a lord which belonged to the king leaning upon his hand}

And there were four
<0702>

leprous
<06879> (8794)

men
<0582>

at the entering in
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_:

and they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

Why sit
<03427> (8802)

we here until we die
<04191> (8804)_?

If we say
<0559> (8804)_,

We will enter
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_,

then the famine
<07458>

[is] in the city
<05892>_,

and we shall die
<04191> (8804)

there: and if we sit still
<03427> (8804)

here, we die
<04191> (8804)

also. Now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us fall
<05307> (8799)

unto the host
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_:

if they save us alive
<02421> (8762)_,

we shall live
<02421> (8799)_;

and if they kill
<04191> (8686)

us, we shall but die
<04191> (8804)_.

And they rose up
<06965> (8799)

in the twilight
<05399>_,

to go
<0935> (8800)

unto the camp
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_:

and when they were come
<0935> (8799)

to the uttermost part
<07097>

of the camp
<04264>

of Syria
<0758>_,

behold, [there was] no man
<0376>

there.

For the Lord
<0136>

had made the host
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>

to hear
<08085> (8689)

a noise
<06963>

of chariots
<07393>_,

and a noise
<06963>

of horses
<05483>_,

[even] the noise
<06963>

of a great
<01419>

host
<02428>_:

and they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<0251>_,

Lo, the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

hath hired
<07936> (8804)

against us the kings
<04428>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the kings
<04428>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

to come
<0935> (8800)

upon us.

Wherefore they arose
<06965> (8799)

and fled
<05127> (8799)

in the twilight
<05399>_,

and left
<05800> (8799)

their tents
<0168>_,

and their horses
<05483>_,

and their asses
<02543>_,

even the camp
<04264>

as it [was], and fled
<05127> (8799)

for their life
<05315>_.

And when these lepers
<06879> (8794)

came
<0935> (8799)

to the uttermost part
<07097>

of the camp
<04264>_,

they went
<0935> (8799)

into one
<0259>

tent
<0168>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

thence silver
<03701>_,

and gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<0899>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and hid
<02934> (8686)

[it]; and came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into another
<0312>

tent
<0168>_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

thence [also], and went
<03212> (8799)

and hid
<02934> (8686)

[it].

Then they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

We do
<06213> (8802)

not well: this day
<03117>

[is] a day
<03117>

of good tidings
<01309>_,

and we hold our peace
<02814> (8688)_:

if we tarry
<02442> (8765)

till the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>_,

some mischief
<05771>

will come
<04672> (8804)

upon us: now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,

that we may go
<0935> (8799)

and tell
<05046> (8686)

the king's
<04428>

household
<01004>_.

{some...: Heb. we shall find punishment}

So they came
<0935> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

unto the porter
<07778>

of the city
<05892>_:

and they told
<05046> (8686)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We came
<0935> (8804)

to the camp
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and, behold, [there was] no man
<0376>

there, neither voice
<06963>

of man
<0120>_,

but horses
<05483>

tied
<0631> (8803)_,

and asses
<02543>

tied
<0631> (8803)_,

and the tents
<0168>

as they [were].

And he called
<07121> (8799)

the porters
<07778>_;

and they told
<05046> (8686)

[it] to the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

within
<06441>_.

And the king
<04428>

arose
<06965> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

I will now shew
<05046> (8686)

you what the Syrians
<0758>

have done
<06213> (8804)

to us. They know
<03045> (8804)

that we [be] hungry
<07457>_;

therefore are they gone out
<03318> (8799)

of the camp
<04264>

to hide
<02247> (8736)

themselves in the field
<07704>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When they come out
<03318> (8799)

of the city
<05892>_,

we shall catch
<08610> (8799)

them alive
<02416>_,

and get
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

And one
<0259>

of his servants
<05650>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let [some] take
<03947> (8799)_,

I pray thee, five
<02568>

of the horses
<05483>

that remain
<07604> (8737)_,

which are left
<07604> (8738)

in the city, (behold, they [are] as all the multitude
<01995>

of Israel
<03478>

that are left
<07604> (8738)

in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude
<01995>

of the Israelites
<03478>

that are consumed
<08552> (8804):)

and let us send
<07971> (8799)

and see
<07200> (8799)_.

{in the city: Heb. in it}

They took
<03947> (8799)

therefore two
<08147>

chariot
<07393>

horses
<05483>_;

and the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

after
<0310>

the host
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and see
<07200> (8798)_.

And they went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

them unto Jordan
<03383>_:

and, lo, all the way
<01870>

[was] full
<04392>

of garments
<0899>

and vessels
<03627>_,

which the Syrians
<0758>

had cast away
<07993> (8689)

in their haste
<02648> (8800)_.

And the messengers
<04397>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_.

And the people
<05971>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and spoiled
<0962> (8799)

the tents
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_.

So a measure
<05429>

of fine flour
<05560>

was [sold] for a shekel
<08255>_,

and two measures
<05429>

of barley
<08184>

for a shekel
<08255>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And the king
<04428>

appointed
<06485> (8689)

the lord
<07991>

on whose hand
<03027>

he leaned
<08172> (8737)

to have the charge of the gate
<08179>_:

and the people
<05971>

trode
<07429> (8799)

upon him in the gate
<08179>_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_,

as the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had said
<01696> (8765)_,

who spake
<01696> (8765)

when the king
<04428>

came down
<03381> (8800)

to him.

And it came to pass as the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had spoken
<01696> (8763)

to the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Two measures
<05429>

of barley
<08184>

for a shekel
<08255>_,

and a measure
<05429>

of fine flour
<05560>

for a shekel
<08255>_,

shall be to morrow
<04279>

about this time
<06256>

in the gate
<08179>

of Samaria
<08111>_:

And that lord
<07991>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now, behold, [if] the LORD
<03068>

should make
<06213> (8802)

windows
<0699>

in heaven
<08064>_,

might such a thing
<01697>

be? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)

it with thine eyes
<05869>_,

but shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof.

And so it fell out unto him: for the people
<05971>

trode
<07429> (8799)

upon him in the gate
<08179>_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
