mkjv@2Kings:2:2 @ And Elijah said to Elisha, Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, [As] the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.

mkjv@2Kings:2:3 @ And the sons of the prophets at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today? And he said, Yes, I know. Keep silent.

mkjv@2Kings:2:4 @ And Elijah said to him, Elisha, please stay here. For the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.

mkjv@2Kings:2:6 @ And Elijah said to him, Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And the two of them went on.

mkjv@2Kings:2:7 @ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went on and stood afar off across [from them]. And both of them stood by the Jordan.

mkjv@2Kings:2:8 @ And Elijah took his mantle and rolled [it] up, and struck the waters. And they were divided here and there, so that both of them crossed over on dry ground.

mkjv@2Kings:2:9 @ And it happened when they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha. Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken away from you. And Elisha said, please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.

mkjv@2Kings:2:10 @ And he said, You have asked a hard thing, [but] if you see me taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be.

mkjv@2Kings:2:11 @ And it happened as they went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire [came], and they separated between them both. And Elijah went up in a tempest into Heaven.

mkjv@2Kings:2:12 @ And Elisha saw, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his clothes and tore them in two pieces.

mkjv@2Kings:2:14 @ And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where [is] Jehovah God of Elijah, even He? And he also hit the waters, and they parted here and there. And Elisha went over.

mkjv@2Kings:2:16 @ And [they] said to him, Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master, lest the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.

mkjv@2Kings:2:19 @ And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, please, the location of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord sees. But the waters [are] bad, and the ground [is] barren.

mkjv@2Kings:2:20 @ And he said, Bring me a new jar and put salt in it. And they brought to him.

mkjv@2Kings:2:21 @ And he went forth to the spring of the waters and threw the salt in there, and said, So says the LORD, I have healed these waters. There shall not be any more death or barrenness from there.

mkjv@2Kings:2:22 @ And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

mkjv@2Kings:2:23 @ And he went up from there to Bethel. And he was going up in the highway. And little boys came out from the city and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!

mkjv@2Kings:2:24 @ And he turned behind him and saw them, and declared them vile in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two boys of them.

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

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

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

mkjv@2Kings:3:3 @ But he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. He did not depart from them.

mkjv@2Kings:3:4 @ And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with the wool.

mkjv@2Kings:3:5 @ And it happened when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

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

mkjv@2Kings:3:7 @ And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up. I [am] as you are], my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

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

mkjv@2Kings:3:9 @ And the king of Israel and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom went. And they went around behind for seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.

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

mkjv@2Kings:3:11 @ And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may ask 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.

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

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

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

mkjv@2Kings:3:15 @ And now bring me a minstrel. And it happened when the minstrel played, the hand of the LORD came on him.

mkjv@2Kings:3:16 @ And he said, So says the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.

mkjv@2Kings:3:17 @ For so says the LORD, You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain. Still that valley shall be filled [with] water, so that you may drink, both you and your cattle, and your animals.

mkjv@2Kings:3:18 @ And this is a light thing in the sight of the LORD. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

mkjv@2Kings:3:19 @ And you shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city. And you shall cut down every good tree and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece [of land] with stones.

mkjv@2Kings:3:20 @ And it happened in the morning when the food offering was offered, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

mkjv@2Kings:3:21 @ And all Moab had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on [armor], and upward, and stood in the border.

mkjv@2Kings:3:22 @ And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red [like] blood.

mkjv@2Kings:3:23 @ And they said, This [is] blood. The kings are surely slain, and they have stricken one another. And now, Moab, to the spoil!

mkjv@2Kings:3:24 @ And they came to the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them. But they [entered it and] struck Moab.

mkjv@2Kings:3:25 @ And they beat down the cities, and each man cast his stone on every good piece [of land], and filled it. And they stopped all the wells of water, and cut down all the good trees. Only in Kir-haraseth did they leave the stones of it. But the slingers surrounded it and struck it.

mkjv@2Kings:3:26 @ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too strong for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, in order to break through to the king of Edom. And they could not.

mkjv@2Kings:3:27 @ And he took his oldest son, who would have reigned in his place, and offered him [for] a burnt offering on the wall. And there was great anger against Israel. And they left him, and returned to the land.

mkjv@2Kings:4:1 @ And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead. And you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the lender has come to take my two children to himself for slaves.
