jub - 1Kings:16-18

jub@1Kings:16:1 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying,

jub@1Kings:16:2 @ Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam and hast made my people Israel sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

jub@1Kings:16:3 @ behold, I will burn up the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

jub@1Kings:16:4 @ He that dies of Baasha in the city, the dogs shall eat; and he that dies of his in the fields, the fowls of the air shall eat.

jub@1Kings:16:5 @ Now the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did and his might, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

jub@1Kings:16:6 @ So Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah, his son, reigned in his stead.

jub@1Kings:16:7 @ And likewise by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, had come [the] word of the LORD upon Baasha and upon his house and upon all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, so that he was made like the house of Jeroboam and because of having smitten him.

jub@1Kings:16:8 @ In the year twenty-six of Asa, king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and he reigned] two years.

jub@1Kings:16:9 @ And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of [his] house in Tirzah.

jub@1Kings:16:10 @ And Zimri went in and smote him and killed him, in the year twenty-seven of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

jub@1Kings:16:11 @ And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, [that] he smote all the house of Baasha; he left him not one that pisses against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends.

jub@1Kings:16:12 @ Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu, the prophet,

jub@1Kings:16:13 @ for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah, his son, by which they sinned and by which they made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

jub@1Kings:16:14 @ Now the rest of the acts of Elah and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

jub@1Kings:16:15 @ In the year twenty-seven of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri began to reign in Tirzah, [and he reigned] seven days. And the people [were] encamped against Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.

jub@1Kings:16:16 @ And the people [that were] in the camp heard it said, Zimri has conspired and has killed the king. Therefore, all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

jub@1Kings:16:17 @ And Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

jub@1Kings:16:18 @ And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,

jub@1Kings:16:19 @ for his sins which he committed in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he did, making Israel sin.

jub@1Kings:16:20 @ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri and his treason that he wrought, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

jub@1Kings:16:21 @ Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

jub@1Kings:16:22 @ But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni, the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

jub@1Kings:16:23 @ In the year thirty-one of Asa, king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned twelve years; he reigned six years in Tirzah.

jub@1Kings:16:24 @ And he bought the mountain of Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver and built on the mount and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, lord of the hill, Samaria.

jub@1Kings:16:25 @ And Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD and did worse than all that [were] before him.

jub@1Kings:16:26 @ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

jub@1Kings:16:27 @ Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did and his might that he showed, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

jub@1Kings:16:28 @ So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab, his son, reigned in his stead.

jub@1Kings:16:29 @ And in the year thirty-eight of Asa, king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, began to reign over Israel. And Ahab the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

jub@1Kings:16:30 @ And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that [were] before him,

jub@1Kings:16:31 @ for it was as a light thing unto him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and he took to wife Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal and worshipped him.

jub@1Kings:16:32 @ And he raised up an altar to Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

jub@1Kings:16:33 @ Ahab also made groves, and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

jub@1Kings:16:34 @ In his time Hiel, the Bethelite, rebuilt Jericho. He laid the foundation thereof in Abiram, his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest [son] Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he had spoken by Joshua the son of Nun.:

jub@1Kings:17:1 @ Then Elijah, the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

jub@1Kings:17:2 @ And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

jub@1Kings:17:3 @ Leave this place and turn to the east and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before the Jordan,

jub@1Kings:17:4 @ and thou shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

jub@1Kings:17:5 @ So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before the Jordan.

jub@1Kings:17:6 @ And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

jub@1Kings:17:7 @ And it came to pass after a while that the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

jub@1Kings:17:8 @ And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

jub@1Kings:17:9 @ Arise, go to Zarephath of Zidon, and thou shalt dwell there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

jub@1Kings:17:10 @ So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering of sticks; and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

jub@1Kings:17:11 @ And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her again and said, Bring me also, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

jub@1Kings:17:12 @ And she said, As the LORD thy God lives, I have no baked bread, but only a handful of meal in a pitcher and a little oil in a cruse; and now I [was] gathering two sticks that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.

jub@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; [go and] do as thou hast said; but first make me a little cake of bread baked under the ashes and bring [it] unto me, and afterwards thou shalt make for thee and for thy son.

jub@1Kings:17:14 @ For thus hath said the LORD God of Israel, The pitcher of meal shall not be consumed, neither shall the cruse of oil fail until the that day when the LORD shall send rain upon the earth.

jub@1Kings:17:15 @ And she went and did as Elijah told her; and he and she and her house ate [for many] days.

jub@1Kings:17:16 @ [And] the pitcher of meal was not consumed, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by Elijah.

jub@1Kings:17:17 @ And it came to pass after these things [that] the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

jub@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Art thou come unto me to call my iniquity to remembrance and to cause my son to die?

jub@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom and carried him up into the chamber where he abode and laid him upon his own bed.

jub@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried unto the LORD and said, O LORD my God, hast thou even brought evil upon the widow, with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?

jub@1Kings:17:21 @ And he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried unto the LORD and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

jub@1Kings:17:22 @ And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

jub@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the chamber into the house and delivered him unto his mother, and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.

jub@1Kings:17:24 @ Then the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou [art] a man of God [and] that the word of the LORD [is] true in thy mouth.:

jub@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass [after] many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

jub@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And [there was] a severe famine in Samaria.

jub@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah, who [was] the governor of [his] house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly,

jub@1Kings:18:4 @ for when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them in groups of fifty in caves and sustained them with bread and water.)

jub@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land to all the fountains of water and to all the brooks; peradventure we may find herbage to save the horses and mules alive that we not lose all the beasts.

jub@1Kings:18:6 @ So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

jub@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was in the way, Elijah met him; and when he recognized him, he fell on his face, and said, [Art] thou not my lord Elijah?

jub@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, I [am]; go, tell thy lord, [Behold] Elijah.

jub@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, In what have I sinned that thou should deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, for [him] to slay me?

jub@1Kings:18:10 @ [As] the LORD thy God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they [all] said, [He is] not [here]; he has caused kingdoms and nations to swear an oath if they have found thee [or] not.

jub@1Kings:18:11 @ And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold Elijah.

jub@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall come to pass [as soon as] I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee where I know not; and [so] when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I, thy servant, fear the LORD from my youth.

jub@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD'S prophets in groups of fifty in caves and sustained them with bread and water?

jub@1Kings:18:14 @ And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, [Behold] Elijah; and he shall slay me.

jub@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said unto him, As the LORD of the hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him today.

jub@1Kings:18:16 @ Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab came to meet Elijah.

jub@1Kings:18:17 @ And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, [Art] thou he that troubles Israel?

jub@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.

jub@1Kings:18:19 @ Now therefore send [and] gather to me all Israel unto Mount Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the groves, who eat at Jezebel's table.

jub@1Kings:18:20 @ Then Ahab sent unto all the sons of Israel and gathered the prophets together unto Mount Carmel.

jub@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came near unto all the people and said, How long shall ye halt between two opinions? If the LORD [is] God, follow him; but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.

jub@1Kings:18:22 @ Then Elijah spoke again unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets [are] four hundred and fifty men.

jub@1Kings:18:23 @ Give us, therefore, two bullocks, and let them choose one bullock for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay [it] on wood and put no fire [under it]; and I will dress the other bullock and lay [it] on wood and put no fire [under it].

jub@1Kings:18:24 @ And invoke ye in the name of your gods, and I will invoke in the name of the LORD; and it shall be that the God that answers by fire is God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

jub@1Kings:18:25 @ So Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves and dress [it] first, for ye [are] many, and invoke in the name of your gods, but put no fire [under it].

jub@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it] and invoked in the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us. But [there was] no voice nor anyone that answered. And they jumped up and down near the altar which they had made.

jub@1Kings:18:27 @ And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud, for he [is] a god; peradventure he is talking or he had to go to the latrine, or he is on a journey, [or] he sleeps and will awake.

jub@1Kings:18:28 @ And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets until the blood gushed out upon them.

jub@1Kings:18:29 @ And when midday was past, [even] so they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, and [there was] neither voice nor anyone that answered nor anyone that heard.

jub@1Kings:18:30 @ Then Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.

jub@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name;

jub@1Kings:18:32 @ and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; then he made a trench round about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

jub@1Kings:18:33 @ And he put the wood in order and cut the bullock in pieces and laid [it] on the wood and said, Fill four pitchers with water and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.

jub@1Kings:18:34 @ And he said, Do [it] the second time, and they did [it] the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time, and they did [it] the third time.

jub@1Kings:18:35 @ So that the water ran round about the altar, and he had filled the trench also with water.

jub@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, LORD God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou [art] God in Israel and [that I am] thy servant and [that] I have done all these things at thy word.

jub@1Kings:18:37 @ Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that thou [art] the LORD God and [that] thou shalt convert their heart back again [to thee].

jub@1Kings:18:38 @ Then fire of the LORD fell, which consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.

jub@1Kings:18:39 @ And seeing it, all the people fell on their faces, and they said, The LORD, he [is] the God; the LORD, he [is] the God.

jub@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said unto them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they seized them; and Elijah took them down to the brook Kishon and slew them there.

jub@1Kings:18:41 @ Then Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.

jub@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he cast himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees

jub@1Kings:18:43 @ and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

jub@1Kings:18:44 @ And the seventh time he said, Behold, a little cloud like the palm of a man's [hand] arises out of the sea. And he said, Go and say to Ahab, Prepare [thy chariot] and descend that the rain not stop thee.

jub@1Kings:18:45 @ And it came to pass in the meanwhile that the heavens became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.

jub@1Kings:18:46 @ And the hand of the LORD was upon Elijah, who girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.:

jub@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and of how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
