mkjv - 2Kings:6-7

mkjv@2Kings:6:1 @ And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we live with you [is] too small for us.

mkjv@2Kings:6:2 @ Please let us go to Jordan. And let each man take a beam from there. And let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go.

mkjv@2Kings:6:3 @ And one said, Be content, please, and go with your servants. And he answered them, I will go.

mkjv@2Kings:6:4 @ And he went with them. And they came to Jordan, and they cut down trees.

mkjv@2Kings:6:5 @ And it happened as one was felling a log, the axe-head fell into the water. And he cried and said, Alas, master! For it was borrowed.

mkjv@2Kings:6:6 @ And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick and threw [it] in there. And the iron swam.

mkjv@2Kings:6:7 @ And he said, take [it] up to you. And he put out his hand and took it.

mkjv@2Kings:6:8 @ And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.

mkjv@2Kings:6:9 @ And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you do not pass such a place, for the Syrians have come down there.

mkjv@2Kings:6:10 @ And the king of Israel sent to the place of which the man of God told him and warned him, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

mkjv@2Kings:6:11 @ And the heart of the king of Syria was enraged for this thing. And he called his servants and said to them, Will you not show me which of us [is] for the king of Israel?

mkjv@2Kings:6:12 @ And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king, but Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.

mkjv@2Kings:6:13 @ And he said, Go and spy where he [is], so that I may send and bring him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothan.

mkjv@2Kings:6:14 @ And he sent there horses and chariots and a great army. And they came by night and surrounded the city.

mkjv@2Kings:6:15 @ And the servant of the man of God arose early and went out. And, behold, an army surrounded the city, and horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?

mkjv@2Kings:6:16 @ And he answered, Do not fear, for those with us [are] more than those with them.

mkjv@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed and said, I pray You, LORD, open his eyes so that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

mkjv@2Kings:6:18 @ And they came down to it, and Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, I pray You, strike this people with blindness. And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

mkjv@2Kings:6:19 @ And Elisha said to them, This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city. Follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. But he led them to Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:6:20 @ And it happened when they came into Samaria, Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these [men] so that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw. And behold, [they were] in the middle of Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:6:21 @ And when he saw them, the king of Israel said to Elisha, My father, shall I strike [them]? Shall I strike [them]?

mkjv@2Kings:6:22 @ And he answered, You shall not strike [them]. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them so that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

mkjv@2Kings:6:23 @ And he prepared a great feast for them. And when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

mkjv@2Kings:6:24 @ And it happened after this Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his army and went up and lay siege to Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:6:25 @ And there was a great famine in Samaria. And, behold, they besieged it until an ass's head was [sold] for eighty [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five silver pieces.

mkjv@2Kings:6:26 @ And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king!

mkjv@2Kings:6:27 @ And he said, if the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? Out of the barn-floor, or out of the winepress?

mkjv@2Kings:6:28 @ And the king said to her, What [ails] you? And she said, This woman said to me, Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.

mkjv@2Kings:6:29 @ And we boiled my son and ate him. And I said to her on the other day, Give your son so that we may eat him. And she has hidden her son.

mkjv@2Kings:6:30 @ And it happened when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And he passed by on the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, [he had] sackcloth inside on his flesh.

mkjv@2Kings:6:31 @ And he said, May God do so, and more also, to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

mkjv@2Kings:6:32 @ But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And he sent a man from before him. [But] before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold him fast at the door. [Is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

mkjv@2Kings:6:33 @ While he still talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And he said, Behold, this evil [is] from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?

mkjv@2Kings:7:1 @ And Elisha said, Hear the word of the LORD! So says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour [will be] sold at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:7:2 @ And the third officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, then this thing might be. And he said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.

mkjv@2Kings:7:3 @ And four men, lepers, were at the gate entrance. And they said to one another, Why do we sit here until we die?

mkjv@2Kings:7:4 @ If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we shall die there. And if we still sit here, we also shall die. And now come and let us fall to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we shall live. And if they kill us, we shall only die.

mkjv@2Kings:7:5 @ And they rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had come to the outermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, no man [was] there!

mkjv@2Kings:7:6 @ For the LORD had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, the noise of a great army. And they said to one another, Lo, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians against us, to come on us.

mkjv@2Kings:7:7 @ And they arose and fled in the twilight and left their tents and their horses and their asses, the camp, as it [was], and fled for their life.

mkjv@2Kings:7:8 @ And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried silver and gold and clothing from there, and went and hid [it]. And they came again and entered into another tent and carried from there, and went and hid [it].

mkjv@2Kings:7:9 @ And they said to one another, We are not doing right. This day [is] a day of good news, and we hold our peace. If we stay until the morning light, some punishment will come on us. And now come, so that we may go and tell the king's household.

mkjv@2Kings:7:10 @ And they came and called to the porter of the city. And they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, no man [was] there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they [were.

mkjv@2Kings:7:11 @ And he called the porters. And they told [it] to the king's house inside.

mkjv@2Kings:7:12 @ And the king arose in the night and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we [are] hungry, and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive and get into the city.

mkjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, Please let [some] take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city; behold, they [are] like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they [are] even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed. And we will send and see.

mkjv@2Kings:7:14 @ And they took two chariots [with] horses. And the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

mkjv@2Kings:7:15 @ And they went after them to Jordan. And, lo, all the way [was] full of clothing and vessels which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.

mkjv@2Kings:7:16 @ And the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. And it happened, a measure of fine flour was [sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

mkjv@2Kings:7:17 @ And the king appointed the third officer over the gate, [the one] on whose hand he had leaned. And the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

mkjv@2Kings:7:18 @ And it happened according to the saying of the man of God to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel: [This] shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:7:19 @ And the third officer answered the man of God and said, Behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, then such a thing might be. And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.

mkjv@2Kings:7:20 @ And it happened to him, for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.

mkjv@2Kings:8:1 @ And Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise and go, you and your household, and live wherever you can live. For the LORD has called for a famine. And it shall also come on the land seven years.
