2 Kings 6:1-33

And the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto
<06440>

Elisha
<0477>_,

Behold now, the place
<04725>

where we dwell
<03427> (8802)

with thee is too strait
<06862>

for us.

Let us go
<03212> (8799)_,

we pray thee, unto Jordan
<03383>_,

and take
<03947> (8799)

thence every man
<0376>

a
<0259>

beam
<06982>_,

and let us make
<06213> (8799)

us a place
<04725>

there, where we may dwell
<03427> (8800)_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye.

And one
<0259>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Be content
<02974> (8685)_,

I pray thee, and go
<03212> (8798)

with thy servants
<05650>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)_.

So he went
<03212> (8799)

with them. And when they came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_,

they cut down
<01504> (8799)

wood
<06086>_.

But as one
<0259>

was felling
<05307> (8688)

a beam
<06982>_,

the axe head
<01270>

fell
<05307> (8804)

into the water
<04325>_:

and he cried
<06817> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

master
<0113>_!

for it was borrowed
<07592> (8803)_.

{axe head: Heb. iron}

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Where
<0575>

fell
<05307> (8804)

it? And he shewed
<07200> (8686)

him the place
<04725>_.

And he cut down
<07094> (8799)

a stick
<06086>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[it] in thither; and the iron
<01270>

did swim
<06687> (8686)_.

Therefore said
<0559> (8799)

he, Take [it] up
<07311> (8685)

to thee. And he put out
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

it.

Then the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

warred
<03898> (8737)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with his servants
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In such
<06423>

and such
<0492>

a place
<04725>

[shall be] my camp
<08466>_.

{camp: or, encamping}

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Beware
<08104> (8734)

that thou pass
<05674> (8800)

not such
<02088>

a place
<04725>_;

for thither the Syrians
<0758>

are come down
<05185>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

told
<0559> (8804)

him and warned
<02094> (8689)

him of, and saved
<08104> (8738)

himself there, not once
<0259>

nor twice
<08147>_.

Therefore the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

was sore troubled
<05590> (8735)

for this thing
<01697>_;

and he called
<07121> (8799)

his servants
<05650>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Will ye not shew
<05046> (8686)

me which of us [is] for the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

And one
<0259>

of his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

None, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_:

but Elisha
<0477>_,

the prophet
<05030>

that [is] in Israel
<03478>_,

telleth
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

the words
<01697>

that thou speakest
<01696> (8762)

in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_.

{None: Heb. No}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and spy
<07200> (8798)

where
<0351>

he [is], that I may send
<07971> (8799)

and fetch
<03947> (8799)

him. And it was told
<05046> (8714)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, [he is] in Dothan
<01886>_.

Therefore sent
<07971> (8799)

he thither horses
<05483>_,

and chariots
<07393>_,

and a great
<03515>

host
<02428>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

by night
<03915>_,

and compassed
<05362> (0)

the city
<05892>

about
<05362> (8686)_.

{great: Heb. heavy}

And when the servant
<08334> (8764)

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

was risen
<06965> (8800)

early
<07925> (8686)_,

and gone forth
<03318> (8799)_,

behold, an host
<02428>

compassed
<05437> (8802)

the city
<05892>

both with horses
<05483>

and chariots
<07393>_.

And his servant
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Alas
<0162>_,

my master
<0113>_!

how shall we do
<06213> (8799)_?

{the servant: or, the minister}

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for they that [be] with us [are] more
<07227>

than they that [be] with them.

And Elisha
<0477>

prayed
<06419> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>_,

I pray thee, open
<06491> (8798)

his eyes
<05869>_,

that he may see
<07200> (8799)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

opened
<06491> (8799)

the eyes
<05869>

of the young man
<05288>_;

and he saw
<07200> (8799)_:

and, behold, the mountain
<02022>

[was] full
<04390> (8804)

of horses
<05483>

and chariots
<07393>

of fire
<0784>

round about
<05439>

Elisha
<0477>_.

And when they came down
<03381> (8799)

to him, Elisha
<0477>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

this people
<01471>_,

I pray thee, with blindness
<05575>_.

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them with blindness
<05575>

according to the word
<01697>

of Elisha
<0477>_.

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, This [is] not the way
<01870>_,

neither [is] this
<02090>

the city
<05892>_:

follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>

me, and I will bring
<03212> (8686)

you to the man
<0376>

whom ye seek
<01245> (8762)_.

But he led
<03212> (8686)

them to Samaria
<08111>_.

{follow...: Heb. come ye after me}

And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)

into Samaria
<08111>_,

that Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>_,

open
<06491> (8798)

the eyes
<05869>

of these [men], that they may see
<07200> (8799)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

opened
<06491> (8799)

their eyes
<05869>_,

and they saw
<07200> (8799)_;

and, behold, [they were] in the midst
<08432>

of Samaria
<08111>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Elisha
<0477>_,

when he saw
<07200> (8800)

them, My father
<01>_,

shall I smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]? shall I smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]: wouldest thou smite
<05221> (8688)

those whom thou hast taken captive
<07617> (8804)

with thy sword
<02719>

and with thy bow
<07198>_?

set
<07760> (8798)

bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>

before
<06440>

them, that they may eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and go
<03212> (8799)

to their master
<0113>_.

And he prepared
<03739> (8799)

great
<01419>

provision
<03740>

for them: and when they had eaten
<0398> (8799)

and drunk
<08354> (8799)_,

he sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they went
<03212> (8799)

to their master
<0113>_.

So the bands
<01416>

of Syria
<0758>

came
<0935> (8800)

no more
<03254> (8804)

into the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_.

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?
