nasb 2Kings:7:3-20

nasb@2Kings:7:3 @At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went out to appeal to the king for her house and for her field.

nasb@2Kings:7:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please relate to me all the great things that Elisha has done."

nasb@2Kings:7:5 @As he was relating to the king how he had restored to life the one who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @When the king asked the woman, she related it to him. So the king appointed for her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers and all the produce of the field from the day that she left the land even until now."

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @Then Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and it was told him, saying, " The man of God has come here."

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @The king said to Hazael, " Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels' loads; and he came and stood before him and said, " Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:10 @Then Elisha said to him, " Go, say to him, 'You will surely recover,' but the LORD has shown me that he will certainly die."

nasb@2Kings:7:11 @He fixed his gaze steadily on him until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @Hazael said, "Why does my lord weep?" Then he answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel- their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up."

nasb@2Kings:7:13 @Then Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" And Elisha answered, " The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram."

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @So he departed from Elisha and returned to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @On the following day, he took the cover and dipped it in water and spread it on his face, so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then the king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:7:17 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Kings:7:18 @He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab became his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:7:19 @However, the LORD was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, since He had promised him to give a lamp to him through his sons always.

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

nasb@2Kings:7:3 @select the best and fittest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house."

nasb@2Kings:7:4 @But they feared greatly and said, "Behold, the two kings did not stand before him; how then can we stand?"

nasb@2Kings:7:5 @And the one who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders, and the guardians of the children, sent word to Jehu, saying, " We are your servants, all that you say to us we will do, we will not make any man king; do what is good in your sight."

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @Then he wrote a letter to them a second time saying, "If you are on my side, and you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow about this time." Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were rearing them.

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezreel.

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @When the messenger came and told him, saying, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons," he said, "Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning."

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @Now in the morning he went out and stood and said to all the people, "You are innocent; behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?

nasb@2Kings:7:10" @Know then that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab, for the LORD has done what He spoke through His servant Elijah."

nasb@2Kings:7:11 @So Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and his acquaintances and his priests, until he left him without a survivor.

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @Then he arose and departed and went to Samaria. On the way while he was at Beth-eked of the shepherds,

nasb@2Kings:7:13 @Jehu met the relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and said, "Who are you?" And they answered, "We are the relatives of Ahaziah; and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother."

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @He said, "Take them alive." So they took them alive and killed them at the pit of Beth-eked, forty-two men; and he left none of them.

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @Now when he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he greeted him and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?" And Jehonadab answered, "It is." Jehu said, "If it is, give me your hand." And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @He said, "Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD." So he made him ride in his chariot.

nasb@2Kings:7:17 @When he came to Samaria, he killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to Elijah.

nasb@2Kings:7:18 @Then Jehu gathered all the people and said to them, " Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much.

nasb@2Kings:7:19" @Now, summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu did it in cunning, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @And Jehu said, " Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal." And they proclaimed it.
