updv@1Kings:15:33 @ In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] twenty and four years.
updv@1Kings:15:34 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
updv@1Kings:16:1 @ And the word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
updv@1Kings:16:2 @ Since I exalted you out of the dust, and made you leader over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
updv@1Kings:16:3 @ look, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
updv@1Kings:16:4 @ He who dies of Baasha in the city, the dogs will eat; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.
updv@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?
updv@1Kings:16:6 @ And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
updv@1Kings:16:7 @ And moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
updv@1Kings:16:8 @ In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years.
updv@1Kings:16:9 @ And his slave Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:
updv@1Kings:16:10 @ and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
updv@1Kings:16:11 @ And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he left him not one urinating against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his companions.
updv@1Kings:16:12 @ Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
updv@1Kings:16:13 @ for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
updv@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?
updv@1Kings:16:15 @ In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
updv@1Kings:16:16 @ And the people who were encamped heard it said, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
updv@1Kings:16:17 @ And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
updv@1Kings:16:18 @ And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
updv@1Kings:16:19 @ for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
updv@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?
updv@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.
updv@1Kings:16:22 @ But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
updv@1Kings:16:23 @ In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, [and reigned] twelve years: six years he reigned in Tirzah.
updv@1Kings:16:24 @ And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
updv@1Kings:16:25 @ And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
updv@1Kings:16:26 @ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
updv@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?
updv@1Kings:16:28 @ So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
updv@1Kings:16:29 @ And in the thirty and eighth year 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 and two years.
updv@1Kings:16:30 @ And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all who were before him.
updv@1Kings:16:31 @ And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
updv@1Kings:16:32 @ And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
updv@1Kings:16:33 @ And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
updv@1Kings:16:34 @ In his days Hiel the Beth-elite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
updv@1Kings:17:1 @ And Elijah the Tishbite, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there will not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
updv@1Kings:17:2 @ And the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
updv@1Kings:17:3 @ Go from here, and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
updv@1Kings:17:4 @ And it will be, that you will drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
updv@1Kings:17:5 @ So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
updv@1Kings:17:6 @ And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
updv@1Kings:17:7 @ And it came to pass after awhile, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
updv@1Kings:17:8 @ And the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
updv@1Kings:17:9 @ Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there: look, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.
updv@1Kings:17:10 @ So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
updv@1Kings:17:11 @ And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of bread in your hand.
updv@1Kings:17:12 @ And she said, As Yahweh your God lives, I don't have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse: and, look, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
updv@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, Don't be afraid; go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for yourself and for your son.
updv@1Kings:17:14 @ For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, The jar of meal will not waste, neither will the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.
updv@1Kings:17:15 @ And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate [many] days.
updv@1Kings:17:16 @ The jar of meal did not waste, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Elijah.
updv@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 intense, that there was no breath left in him.
updv@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!
updv@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he dwelt, and laid him on his own bed.
updv@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried to Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
updv@1Kings:17:21 @ And he stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh my God, I pray you, let this child's soul come into him again.
updv@1Kings:17:22 @ And Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
updv@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, your son lives.
updv@1Kings:17:24 @ And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.
updv@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.
updv@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And the famine was intense in Samaria.
updv@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly:
updv@1Kings:18:4 @ for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yahweh, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
updv@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water, and to all the brooks: perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we do not lose all the beasts.
updv@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.
updv@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was in the way, look, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?
updv@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here].
updv@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, In what have I sinned, that you would deliver your slave into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
updv@1Kings:18:10 @ As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom, where my lord has not sent to seek you: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they didn't find you.
updv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here].
updv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, I don't know where the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can't find you, he will slay me: but I your slave have feared Yahweh from my youth.
updv@1Kings:18:13 @ Wasn't it told to my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid a hundred men of Yahweh's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
updv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here]; and he will slay me.
updv@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.
updv@1Kings:18:16 @ So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
updv@1Kings:18:17 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?
updv@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I haven't troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you(note:){+}(:note) have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baalim.
updv@1Kings:18:19 @ Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.
updv@1Kings:18:20 @ So Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.
updv@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came near to all the people, and said, How long do you(note:){+}(:note) go limping between the two sides? If Yahweh is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
updv@1Kings:18:22 @ Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Yahweh; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
updv@1Kings:18:23 @ Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
updv@1Kings:18:24 @ And you(note:){+}(:note) call on the name of your{+} god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh; and the God who answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
updv@1Kings:18:25 @ And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose(note:){+}(:note) one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you{+} are many; and call on the name of your{+} god, but put no fire under.
updv@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bull which was given to them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made.
updv@1Kings:18:27 @ And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.
updv@1Kings:18:28 @ And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.
updv@1Kings:18:29 @ And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded.
updv@1Kings:18:30 @ And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of Yahweh that was thrown down.
updv@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yahweh came, saying, Israel will be your name.
updv@1Kings:18:32 @ And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two seahs of seed.
updv@1Kings:18:33 @ And he put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
updv@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.
updv@1Kings:18:35 @ And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
updv@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your slave, and that I have done all these things at your word.
updv@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again.
updv@1Kings:18:38 @ Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
updv@1Kings:18:39 @ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yahweh, he is God; Yahweh, he is God.
updv@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; don't let one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
updv@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
updv@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
updv@1Kings:18:43 @ And he said to his attendant, 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.
updv@1Kings:18:44 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Look, there rises a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Make ready [your chariot], and go down, that the rain doesn't stop you.
updv@1Kings:18:45 @ And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:
updv@1Kings:18:46 @ and the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
updv@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and as well how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
updv@1Kings:19:2 @ Then Jezebel send a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don't make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
updv@1Kings:19:3 @ And he was afraid, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there.
updv@1Kings:19:4 @ But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
updv@1Kings:19:5 @ And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, look, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
updv@1Kings:19:6 @ And he looked and saw that there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and laid down again.
updv@1Kings:19:7 @ And the angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.
updv@1Kings:19:8 @ And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.
updv@1Kings:19:9 @ And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, look, the word of Yahweh came to him, and he said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
updv@1Kings:19:10 @ And he said, I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
updv@1Kings:19:11 @ And he said, Go forth, and stand on the mount before Yahweh. And, look, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake:
updv@1Kings:19:12 @ and after the earthquake a fire; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
updv@1Kings:19:13 @ And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, look, there came a voice to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
updv@1Kings:19:14 @ And he said, I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
updv@1Kings:19:15 @ And Yahweh said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when you come, you will anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;
updv@1Kings:19:16 @ and Jehu the son of Nimshi you will anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you will anoint to be prophet in your place.
updv@1Kings:19:17 @ And it will come to pass, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will slay; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will slay.
updv@1Kings:19:18 @ Yet I will leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which haven't bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.
updv@1Kings:19:19 @ So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he [was] with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
updv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray you, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
updv@1Kings:19:21 @ And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
updv@1Kings:20:1 @ And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together; and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
updv@1Kings:20:2 @ And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad,
updv@1Kings:20:3 @ Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your sons, even the goodliest, are mine.
updv@1Kings:20:4 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to your saying, my lord, O king; I am yours, and all that I have.
updv@1Kings:20:5 @ And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, I indeed sent to you, saying, You will deliver to me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your sons;
updv@1Kings:20:6 @ but I will send my slaves to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house, and the houses of your slaves; and it will be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.
updv@1Kings:20:7 @ Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Consider, I pray you(note:){+}(:note), and see how this man seeks mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn't deny him.
updv@1Kings:20:8 @ And all the elders and all the people said to him, Don't listen, neither consent.
updv@1Kings:20:9 @ Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you sent for to your slave at the first I will do; but this thing I will not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
updv@1Kings:20:10 @ And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.
updv@1Kings:20:11 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Don't let him who girds on [his armor] boast himself as he who puts it off.
updv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it came to pass, when [Ben-hadad] heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his slaves, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array] against the city.
updv@1Kings:20:13 @ And, look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus says Yahweh, Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you will know that I am Yahweh.
updv@1Kings:20:14 @ And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says Yahweh, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who will begin the battle? And he answered, You.
updv@1Kings:20:15 @ Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, being seven thousand.
updv@1Kings:20:16 @ And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
updv@1Kings:20:17 @ And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
updv@1Kings:20:18 @ And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.
updv@1Kings:20:19 @ So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
updv@1Kings:20:20 @ And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
updv@1Kings:20:21 @ And the king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
updv@1Kings:20:22 @ And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and consider, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.
updv@1Kings:20:23 @ And the slaves of the king of Syria said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we: but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
updv@1Kings:20:24 @ And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place;
updv@1Kings:20:25 @ and you number for yourself an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
updv@1Kings:20:26 @ And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
updv@1Kings:20:27 @ And the sons of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them: and the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Syrians filled the country.
updv@1Kings:20:28 @ And a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Yahweh, Because the Syrians have said, Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you(note:){+}(:note) will know that I am Yahweh.
updv@1Kings:20:29 @ And they encamped one opposite the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the sons of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
updv@1Kings:20:30 @ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty and seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
updv@1Kings:20:31 @ And his slaves said to him, Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, we pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save your life.
updv@1Kings:20:32 @ So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and [put] ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your slave Ben-hadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? He is my brother.
updv@1Kings:20:33 @ Now the men were using magic, and hurried to catch whether it was his mind; and they said, Your brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go(note:){+}(:note), bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
updv@1Kings:20:34 @ And [Ben-hadad] said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you will make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I, [said Ahab], will let you go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
updv@1Kings:20:35 @ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow man by the word of Yahweh, Strike me, I pray you. And the man refused to strike him.
updv@1Kings:20:36 @ Then he said to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, look, as soon as you depart from me, a lion will slay you. And as soon as he departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
updv@1Kings:20:37 @ Then he found another man, and said, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, striking and wounding him.
updv@1Kings:20:38 @ So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
updv@1Kings:20:39 @ And as the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, Your slave went out into the midst of the battle; and, look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he is missing, then your life will be for his life, otherwise you will pay a talent of silver.
updv@1Kings:20:40 @ And as your slave was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So your judgment will be; you yourself have decided it.
updv@1Kings:20:41 @ And he hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
updv@1Kings:20:42 @ And he said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will go for his life, and your people for his people.
updv@1Kings:20:43 @ And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
updv@1Kings:21:1 @ And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
updv@1Kings:21:2 @ And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seems good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.
updv@1Kings:21:3 @ And Naboth said to Ahab, Yahweh forbid it of me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.
updv@1Kings:21:4 @ And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
updv@1Kings:21:5 @ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?
updv@1Kings:21:6 @ And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; otherwise, if it pleases you, I will give you [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
updv@1Kings:21:7 @ And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
updv@1Kings:21:8 @ So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, [and] that dwelt with Naboth.
updv@1Kings:21:9 @ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
updv@1Kings:21:10 @ and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, You cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.
updv@1Kings:21:11 @ And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according to as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
updv@1Kings:21:12 @ They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
updv@1Kings:21:13 @ And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king.

updv@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
updv@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
updv@1Kings:21:16 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
updv@1Kings:21:17 @ And the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
updv@1Kings:21:18 @ Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria: look, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
updv@1Kings:21:19 @ And you will speak to him, saying, Thus says Yahweh, Have you killed and also taken possession? And you will speak to him, saying, Thus says Yahweh, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth will dogs lick your blood, even yours.
updv@1Kings:21:20 @ And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
updv@1Kings:21:21 @ Look, I will bring evil on you, and will completely sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab [every] one urinating against a wall, whether slave or free in Israel:
updv@1Kings:21:22 @ and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.
updv@1Kings:21:23 @ And of Jezebel, Yahweh also spoke, saying, The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
updv@1Kings:21:24 @ He who dies of Ahab in the city, the dogs will eat; and he who dies in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.
updv@1Kings:21:25 @ (But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
updv@1Kings:21:26 @ And what he did was very disgusting in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the sons of Israel.)
updv@1Kings:21:27 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

updv@1Kings:21:29 @ Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days I will bring the evil on his house.
updv@1Kings:22:1 @ And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
updv@1Kings:22:2 @ And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
updv@1Kings:22:3 @ And the king of Israel said to his slaves, Do you(note:){+}(:note) know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we are still, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
updv@1Kings:22:4 @ And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
updv@1Kings:22:5 @ And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray you, for the word of Yahweh.
updv@1Kings:22:6 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
updv@1Kings:22:7 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?
updv@1Kings:22:8 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Don't let the king say so.
updv@1Kings:22:9 @ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.
updv@1Kings:22:10 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
updv@1Kings:22:11 @ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, Thus says Yahweh, With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.
updv@1Kings:22:12 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
updv@1Kings:22:13 @ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Look now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.
updv@1Kings:22:14 @ And Micaiah said, As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.
updv@1Kings:22:15 @ And when he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
updv@1Kings:22:16 @ And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?
updv@1Kings:22:17 @ And he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
updv@1Kings:22:18 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Didn't I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
updv@1Kings:22:19 @ And [Micaiah] said, Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
updv@1Kings:22:20 @ And Yahweh said, Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner.
updv@1Kings:22:21 @ And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him.
updv@1Kings:22:22 @ And Yahweh said to him, How? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You will entice him, and will prevail also: go forth, and do so.
updv@1Kings:22:23 @ Now therefore, look, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.
updv@1Kings:22:24 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?
updv@1Kings:22:25 @ And Micaiah said, Look, you will see on that day, when you will go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
updv@1Kings:22:26 @ And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
updv@1Kings:22:27 @ and say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
updv@1Kings:22:28 @ And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, you(note:){+}(:note) peoples, all of you{+}.
updv@1Kings:22:29 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
updv@1Kings:22:30 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
updv@1Kings:22:31 @ Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.
updv@1Kings:22:32 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel; and they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
updv@1Kings:22:33 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it wasn't the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
updv@1Kings:22:34 @ And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am critically wounded.
updv@1Kings:22:35 @ And the battle increased that day: and the king was propped up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at evening; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
updv@1Kings:22:36 @ And there went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country.
updv@1Kings:22:37 @ So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
updv@1Kings:22:38 @ And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the prostitutes washed themselves [there]); according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke.
updv@1Kings:22:39 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

updv@1Kings:22:42 @ Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
updv@1Kings:22:43 @ And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; He didn't turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
updv@1Kings:22:44 @ And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

updv@1Kings:22:47 @ And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
updv@1Kings:22:48 @ Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they did not go; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.
updv@1Kings:22:49 @ Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, Let my slaves go with your slaves in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
updv@1Kings:22:50 @ And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
