1. Then Moab H4124 rebelled H6586 against Israel H3478 after H310 the death H4194 of Ahab H256 .
|
|
2. And Ochozias fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go and enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my sickness. And they went to enquire of him.
|
2. And Ahaziah H274 fell down H5307 through H1157 a lattice H7639 in his upper chamber H5944 that H834 was in Samaria H8111 , and was sick H2470 : and he sent H7971 messengers H4397 , and said H559 unto H413 them, Go H1980 , inquire H1875 of Baal H1176 -zebub the god H430 of Ekron H6138 whether H518 I shall recover H2421 of this disease H4480 H2483 H2088 .
|
|
3. And an angel of the Lord called Eliu the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to meet the messengers of Ochozias king of Samaria, and thou shalt say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? but it shall not be so.
|
3. But the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 said H1696 to H413 Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664 , Arise H6965 , go up H5927 to meet H7125 the messengers H4397 of the king H4428 of Samaria H8111 , and say H1696 unto H413 them, Is it not because H4480 H1097 there is not H369 a God H430 in Israel H3478 , that ye H859 go H1980 to inquire H1875 of Baal H1176 -zebub the god H430 of Ekron H6138 ?
|
|
4. For thus saith the Lord, The bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die. And Eliu went, and said so to them.
|
4. Now therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Thou shalt not H3808 come down H3381 from H4480 that bed H4296 on which H834 H8033 thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 shalt surely die H4191 H4191 . And Elijah H452 departed H1980 .
|
|
5. And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why have ye returned?
|
5. And when the messengers H4397 turned back H7725 unto H413 him , he said H559 unto H413 them, Why H4100 are ye now H2088 turned back H7725 ?
|
|
6. And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou goest to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? it shall not be so: the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die.
|
6. And they said H559 unto H413 him , There came H5927 a man H376 up H5927 to meet H7125 us , and said H559 unto H413 us, Go H1980 , turn again H7725 unto H413 the king H4428 that H834 sent H7971 you , and say H1696 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Is it not because H4480 H1097 there is not H369 a God H430 in Israel H3478 , that thou H859 sendest H7971 to inquire H1875 of Baal H1176 -zebub the god H430 of Ekron H6138 ? therefore H3651 thou shalt not H3808 come down H3381 from H4480 that bed H4296 on which H834 H8033 thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 shalt surely die H4191 H4191 .
|
|
7. So they returned and reported to the king as Eliu said: and he said to them, What was the manner of the man who went up to meet you, and spoke to you these words?
|
7. And he said H1696 unto H413 them, What H4100 manner H4941 of man H376 was he which H834 came up H5927 to meet H7125 you , and told H1696 H413 you H853 these H428 words H1697 ?
|
|
8. And they said to him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a leathern girdle about his loins. And he said, This is Eliu the Thesbite.
|
8. And they answered H559 H413 him, He was a hairy man H376 H1167 H8181 , and girt H247 with a girdle H232 of leather H5785 about his loins H4975 . And he said H559 , It H1931 is Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664 .
|
|
9. And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up to him: and, behold, Eliu sat on the top of a mountain. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, the king has called thee, come down.
|
9. Then the king sent H7971 unto H413 him a captain H8269 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572 . And he went up H5927 to H413 him: and, behold H2009 , he sat H3427 on H5921 the top H7218 of a hill H2022 . And he spoke H1696 unto H413 him , Thou man H376 of God H430 , the king H4428 hath said H1696 , Come down H3381 .
|
|
10. And Eliu answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I am a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour thee and thy fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
|
10. And Elijah H452 answered H6030 and said H1696 to H413 the captain H8269 of fifty H2572 , If H518 I H589 be a man H376 of God H430 , then let fire H784 come down H3381 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and consume H398 thee and thy fifty H2572 . And there came down H3381 fire H784 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and consumed H398 him and his fifty H2572 .
|
|
|
11. Again H7725 also he sent H7971 unto H413 him another H312 captain H8269 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572 . And he answered H6030 and said H1696 unto H413 him , O man H376 of God H430 , thus H3541 hath the king H4428 said H559 , Come down H3381 quickly H4120 .
|
|
12. And Eliu answered and spoke to him, and said, If I am a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour thee and thy fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
|
12. And Elijah H452 answered H6030 and said H1696 unto H413 them, If H518 I H589 be a man H376 of God H430 , let fire H784 come down H3381 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and consume H398 thee and thy fifty H2572 . And the fire H784 of God H430 came down H3381 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and consumed H398 him and his fifty H2572 .
|
|
|
13. And he sent H7971 again H7725 a captain H8269 of the third H7992 fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572 . And the third H7992 captain H8269 of fifty H2572 went up H5927 , and came H935 and fell H3766 on H5921 his knees H1290 before H5048 Elijah H452 , and besought H2603 H413 him , and said H1696 unto H413 him , O man H376 of God H430 , I pray thee H4994 , let my life H5315 , and the life H5315 of these H428 fifty H2572 thy servants H5650 , be precious H3365 in thy sight H5869 .
|
|
14. Behold, fire came down from heaven, and devoured the two first captains of fifty: and now, I pray, let my life be precious in thine eyes.
|
14. Behold H2009 , there came fire down H3381 H784 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and burnt up H398 H853 the two H8147 captains H8269 of the former H7223 fifties H2572 with their fifties H2572 : therefore let my life H5315 now H6258 be precious H3365 in thy sight H5869 .
|
|
15. And the angel of the Lord spoke to Eliu, and said, Go down with him, be not afraid of them. And Eliu rose up, and went down with him to the king.
|
15. And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 said H1696 unto H413 Elijah H452 , Go down H3381 with H854 him : be not afraid H408 H3372 of H4480 H6440 him . And he arose H6965 , and went down H3381 with H854 him unto H413 the king H4428 .
|
|
16. And Eliu spoke to him, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Why hast thou sent messengers to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? it shall not be so: the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die.
|
16. And he said H1696 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Forasmuch as H3282 H834 thou hast sent H7971 messengers H4397 to inquire H1875 of Baal H1176 -zebub the god H430 of Ekron H6138 , is it not because H4480 H1097 there is no H369 God H430 in Israel H3478 to inquire H1875 of his word H1697 ? therefore H3651 thou shalt not H3808 come down H3381 off H4480 that bed H4296 on which H834 H8033 thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 shalt surely die H4191 H4191 .
|
|
17. So he died according to the word of the Lord which Eliu has spoken.
|
17. So he died H4191 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 Elijah H452 had spoken H1696 . And Jehoram H3088 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 in the second H8147 year H8141 of Jehoram H3088 the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092 King H4428 of Judah H3063 : because H3588 he had H1961 no H3808 son H1121 .
|
|
|
18. Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Ahaziah H274 which H834 he did H6213 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 ?
