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 .
