2 Kings

  1 H4124 Then Moab H6586 rebelled [H8799]   H3478 against Israel H310 after H4194 the death H256 of Ahab.

  2 H274 And Ahaziah H5307 fell down [H8799]   H7639 through a lattice H5944 in his upper chamber H8111 that was in Samaria H2470 , and was sick [H8799]   H7971 : and he sent [H8799]   H4397 messengers H559 , and said [H8799]   H3212 unto them, Go [H8798]   H1875 , enquire [H8798]   H1176 of Baalzebub H430 the god H6138 of Ekron H2421 whether I shall recover [H8799]   H2483 of this disease.

  3 H4397 But the angel H3068 of the LORD H1696 said [H8765]   H452 to Elijah H8664 the Tishbite H6965 , Arise [H8798]   H5927 , go up [H8798]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H4397 the messengers H4428 of the king H8111 of Samaria H1696 , and say [H8761]   H430 unto them, Is it not because there is not a God H3478 in Israel H1980 , that ye go [H8802]   H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H1176 of Baalzebub H430 the god H6138 of Ekron?

  4 H559 Now therefore thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H3381 , Thou shalt not come down [H8799]   H4296 from that bed H5927 on which thou art gone up [H8804]   H4191 , but shalt surely [H8800]   H4191 die [H8799]   H452 . And Elijah H3212 departed [H8799]  .

  5 H4397 And when the messengers H7725 turned back [H8799]   H559 unto him, he said [H8799]   H2088 unto them, Why are ye now H7725 turned back [H8804]  ?

  6 H559 And they said [H8799]   H5927 unto him, There came H376 a man H5927 up [H8804]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H559 us, and said [H8799]   H3212 unto us, Go [H8798]   H7725 , turn again [H8798]   H4428 unto the king H7971 that sent [H8804]   H1696 you, and say [H8765]   H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 , Is it not because there is not a God H3478 in Israel H7971 , that thou sendest [H8802]   H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H1176 of Baalzebub H430 the god H6138 of Ekron H3381 ? therefore thou shalt not come down [H8799]   H4296 from that bed H5927 on which thou art gone up [H8804]   H4191 , but shalt surely [H8800]   H4191 die [H8799]  .

  7 H1696 And he said [H8762]   H4941 unto them, What manner H376 of man H5927 was he which came up [H8804]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H1696 you, and told [H8762]   H1697 you these words?

  8 H559 And they answered [H8799]   H8181 him, He was an hairy H1167 man H376   H247 , and girt [H8803]   H232 with a girdle H5785 of leather H4975 about his loins H559 . And he said [H8799]   H452 , It is Elijah H8664 the Tishbite.

  9 H4428 Then the king H7971 sent [H8799]   H8269 unto him a captain H2572 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H5927 . And he went up [H8799]   H3427 to him: and, behold, he sat [H8802]   H7218 on the top H2022 of an hill H1696 . And he spake [H8762]   H376 unto him, Thou man H430 of God H4428 , the king H1696 hath said [H8765]   H3381 , Come down [H8798]  .

  10 H452 And Elijah H6030 answered [H8799]   H1696 and said [H8762]   H8269 to the captain H2572 of fifty H376 , If I be a man H430 of God H784 , then let fire H3381 come down [H8799]   H8064 from heaven H398 , and consume [H8799]   H2572 thee and thy fifty H3381 . And there came down [H8799]   H784 fire H8064 from heaven H398 , and consumed [H8799]   H2572 him and his fifty.

  11 H7725 Again [H8799]   H7971 also he sent [H8799]   H312 unto him another H8269 captain H2572 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H6030 . And he answered [H8799]   H1696 and said [H8762]   H376 unto him, O man H430 of God H4428 , thus hath the king H559 said [H8804]   H3381 , Come down [H8798]   H4120 quickly.

  12 H452 And Elijah H6030 answered [H8799]   H1696 and said [H8762]   H376 unto them, If I be a man H430 of God H784 , let fire H3381 come down [H8799]   H8064 from heaven H398 , and consume [H8799]   H2572 thee and thy fifty H784 . And the fire H430 of God H3381 came down [H8799]   H8064 from heaven H398 , and consumed [H8799]   H2572 him and his fifty.

  13 H7971 And he sent [H8799]   H7725 again [H8799]   H8269 a captain H7992 of the third H2572 fifty H2572 with his fifty H7992 . And the third H8269 captain H2572 of fifty H5927 went up [H8799]   H935 , and came [H8799]   H3766 and fell [H8799]   H1290 on his knees H5048 before H452 Elijah H2603 , and besought [H8691]   H1696 him, and said [H8762]   H376 unto him, O man H430 of God H5315 , I pray thee, let my life H5315 , and the life H2572 of these fifty H5650 thy servants H3365 , be precious [H8799]   H5869 in thy sight.

  14 H3381 Behold, there came H784 fire H3381 down [H8804]   H8064 from heaven H398 , and burnt up [H8799]   H8147 the two H8269 captains H7223 of the former H2572 fifties H2572 with their fifties H5315 : therefore let my life H3365 now be precious [H8799]   H5869 in thy sight.

  15 H4397 And the angel H3068 of the LORD H1696 said [H8762]   H452 unto Elijah H3381 , Go down [H8798]   H3372 with him: be not afraid [H8799]   H6440 of him H6965 . And he arose [H8799]   H3381 , and went down [H8799]   H4428 with him unto the king.

  16 H1696 And he said [H8762]   H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7971 , Forasmuch as thou hast sent [H8804]   H4397 messengers H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H1176 of Baalzebub H430 the god H6138 of Ekron H430 , is it not because there is no God H3478 in Israel H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H1697 of his word H3381 ? therefore thou shalt not come down [H8799]   H4296 off that bed H5927 on which thou art gone up [H8804]   H4191 , but shalt surely [H8800]   H4191 die [H8799]  .

  17 H4191 So he died [H8799]   H1697 according to the word H3068 of the LORD H452 which Elijah H1696 had spoken [H8765]   H3088 . And Jehoram H4427 reigned [H8799]   H8147 in his stead in the second H8141 year H3088 of Jehoram H1121 the son H3092 of Jehoshaphat H4428 king H3063 of Judah H1121 ; because he had no son.

  18 H3499 Now the rest H1697 of the acts H274 of Ahaziah H6213 which he did [H8804]   H3789 , are they not written [H8803]   H5612 in the book H1697 of the chronicles H3117   H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel?
