2Kings:1-3




jub@2Kings:1:1 @ Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

jub@2Kings:1:2 @ And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that [was] in Samaria and was sick, and he sent messengers and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this disease.

jub@2Kings:1:3 @ But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and thou shalt say unto them, Is there no God in Israel, [that] ye go to enquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron?

jub@2Kings:1:4 @ Now therefore, thus hath the LORD said, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

jub@2Kings:1:5 @ And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?

jub@2Kings:1:6 @ And they said unto him, We met a man who said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you and say unto him, Thus hath the LORD said, Is there no God in Israel, [that] thou dost send to enquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

jub@2Kings:1:7 @ Then he said unto them, What manner of man [was he] who came up to meet you and told you these words?

jub@2Kings:1:8 @ And they answered him, [He was] a hairy man and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It [is] Elijah, the Tishbite.

jub@2Kings:1:9 @ Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and, behold, he sat on the top of a mountain. And he spoke unto him, Man of God, the king has commanded thee to come down.

jub@2Kings:1:10 @ And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I [am] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, that consumed him and his fifty.

jub@2Kings:1:11 @ Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

jub@2Kings:1:12 @ And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I [am] a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

jub@2Kings:1:13 @ And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up and came and fell on his knees before Elijah and besought him and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

jub@2Kings:1:14 @ Behold, fire has come down from heaven and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; therefore, let my soul now be precious in thy sight.

jub@2Kings:1:15 @ Then the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him; do not be afraid of him. And he arose and went down with him unto the king.

jub@2Kings:1:16 @ And he said unto him, Thus hath the LORD said, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, peradventure is there no God in Israel to enquire of his word? Therefore, thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

jub@2Kings:1:17 @ So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram ([son of Ahab]) reigned in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because [Ahaziah] had no son.

jub@2Kings:1:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?:

jub@2Kings:2:1 @ And it came to pass, when the LORD would take Elijah up into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

jub@2Kings:2:2 @ And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said [unto him], [As] the LORD lives and [as] thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

jub@2Kings:2:3 @ And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Bethel came forth to Elisha and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head today? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.

jub@2Kings:2:4 @ And Elijah said unto him again, Elisha, tarry here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the LORD lives and [as] thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

jub@2Kings:2:5 @ And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head today? And he answered, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.

jub@2Kings:2:6 @ And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD lives and [as] thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And [thus] the two went on.

jub@2Kings:2:7 @ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood in front of them afar off; and the two of them stood by the Jordan.

jub@2Kings:2:8 @ And Elijah took his mantle and wrapped [it] together and smote the waters, and they separated to one side and the other so that they both went over on dry ground.

jub@2Kings:2:9 @ And when they had gone over, Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

jub@2Kings:2:10 @ And he said, Thou hast asked a difficult thing. If thou shalt see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee, but if not, it shall not be so.

jub@2Kings:2:11 @ And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, that, behold, a chariot of fire with horses of fire separated the two, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.

jub@2Kings:2:12 @ And as Elisha saw [it], he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more, and he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces.

jub@2Kings:2:13 @ And lifting up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, he went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

jub@2Kings:2:14 @ And taking up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, he smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah? And when he smote the waters, they separated to one side and the other, and Elisha went over.

jub@2Kings:2:15 @ And seeing him, the sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

jub@2Kings:2:16 @ And they said unto him, Behold now, there are fifty strong men with thy servants; let them go and seek thy master; peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley. And he said, Do not send [them].

jub@2Kings:2:17 @ But when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought him three days, but did not find him.

jub@2Kings:2:18 @ And when they came again to him (for he tarried at Jericho), he said unto them, Did I not tell you to not go?

jub@2Kings:2:19 @ And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, the seat of this city [is] good, as my lord sees, but the water [is] evil, and the ground barren.

jub@2Kings:2:20 @ Then he said, Bring me a new cruse and put salt in it. And they brought [it] to him.

jub@2Kings:2:21 @ And he went forth unto the springs of the waters and cast the salt in there and said, Thus hath the LORD said, I have healed these waters; there shall be no more death or barrenness in them.

jub@2Kings:2:22 @ So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word which Elisha spoke.

jub@2Kings:2:23 @ Then he went up from there unto Bethel, and as he was going up by the way, the young men of the city came forth and mocked him, saying, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

jub@2Kings:2:24 @ And he turned back and looked on them and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two bears came forth out of the forest and tore apart forty-two young men of them.

jub@2Kings:2:25 @ And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.:

jub@2Kings:3:1 @ Now Jehoram, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

jub@2Kings:3:2 @ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the images of Baal that his father had made.

jub@2Kings:3:3 @ Nevertheless, he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.

jub@2Kings:3:4 @ And Mesha, king of Moab, was a pastor and rendered unto the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

jub@2Kings:3:5 @ But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

jub@2Kings:3:6 @ And King Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time and numbered all Israel.

jub@2Kings:3:7 @ And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me; wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up; I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people [and] my horses as thy horses.

jub@2Kings:3:8 @ And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.

jub@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went and the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and as they walked round about seven days' journey through the desert, there was no water for the host or for the beasts that followed them.

jub@2Kings:3:10 @ Then the king of Israel said, Alas! The LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!

jub@2Kings:3:11 @ But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not a prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

jub@2Kings:3:12 @ And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

jub@2Kings:3:13 @ Then Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? Go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, No, for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

jub@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of the hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.

jub@2Kings:3:15 @ But now bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the LORD came upon him;

jub@2Kings:3:16 @ and he said, Thus hath the LORD said, Make this valley full of ditches.

jub@2Kings:3:17 @ For thus hath the LORD said, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your livestock and your beasts.

jub@2Kings:3:18 @ And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD; he will also deliver the Moabites into your hands.

jub@2Kings:3:19 @ And ye shall smite every fenced city and every choice city and shall fell every good tree and stop every fountain of water and mar every good piece of land with stones.

jub@2Kings:3:20 @ And it came to pass in the morning, when the present was offered, that water came by the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.

jub@2Kings:3:21 @ And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to gird on a girdle and upward and stood in the border.

jub@2Kings:3:22 @ And when they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water before them [as] red as blood;

jub@2Kings:3:23 @ and they said, This [is] blood; the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

jub@2Kings:3:24 @ But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites so that they fled before them, but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.

jub@2Kings:3:25 @ And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone and filled it, and they stopped all the fountains of water and felled all the good trees until they left their stones only in Kirharaseth, for the slingers went about [it] and smote it.

jub@2Kings:3:26 @ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was overcoming him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords to break through unto the king of Edom, but they could not.

jub@2Kings:3:27 @ Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead and offered him [for] a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation in Israel, and they departed from him and returned to [their own] land.:

jub@2Kings:4:1 @ Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant, my husband, is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the LORD; and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
