1 Now king 04428 David 01732 was old 02204 08804 [and] stricken 0935 08804 in years 03117; and they covered 03680 08762 him with clothes 0899, but he gat no heat 03179 08799.
2 Wherefore his servants 05650 said 0559 08799 unto him, Let there be sought 01245 08762 for my lord 0113 the king 04428 a young 05291 virgin 01330: and let her stand 05975 08804 before 06440 the king 04428, and let her cherish 05532 08802 him, and let her lie 07901 08804 in thy bosom 02436, that my lord 0113 the king 04428 may get heat 02552 08804.
3 So they sought 01245 08762 for a fair 03303 damsel 05291 throughout all the coasts 01366 of Israel 03478, and found 04672 08799 Abishag 049 a Shunammite 07767, and brought 0935 08686 her to the king 04428.
4 And the damsel 05291 [was] very 03966 fair 03303, and cherished 05532 08802 the king 04428, and ministered 08334 08762 to him: but the king 04428 knew 03045 08804 her not.
5 Then Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 exalted 04984 08693 himself, saying 0559 08800, I will be king 04427 08799: and he prepared 06213 08799 him chariots 07393 and horsemen 06571, and fifty 02572 men 0376 to run 07323 08801 before 06440 him.
6 And his father 01 had not displeased 06087 08804 him at any time 03117 in saying 0559 08800, Why hast thou done so 06213 08804? and he also [was a] very 03966 goodly 02896 08389 [man]; and [his mother] bare 03205 08804 him after 0310 Absalom 053.
7 And he conferred 01697 with Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870, and with Abiathar 054 the priest 03548: and they following 0310 Adonijah 0138 helped 05826 08799 [him].
8 But Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Shimei 08096, and Rei 07472, and the mighty men 01368 which [belonged] to David 01732, were not with Adonijah 0138.
9 And Adonijah 0138 slew 02076 08799 sheep 06629 and oxen 01241 and fat cattle 04806 by the stone 068 of Zoheleth 02120, which [is] by 0681 Enrogel 05883, and called 07121 08799 all his brethren 0251 the king's 04428 sons 01121, and all the men 0582 of Judah 03063 the king's 04428 servants 05650:
10 But Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141, and the mighty men 01368, and Solomon 08010 his brother 0251, he called 07121 08804 not.
11 Wherefore Nathan 05416 spake 0559 08799 unto Bathsheba 01339 the mother 0517 of Solomon 08010, saying 0559 08800, Hast thou not heard 08085 08804 that Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 doth reign 04427 08804, and David 01732 our lord 0113 knoweth 03045 08804 [it] not?
12 Now therefore come 03212 08798, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel 03289 08799 06098, that thou mayest save 04422 08761 thine own life 05315, and the life 05315 of thy son 01121 Solomon 08010.
13 Go 03212 08798 and get thee in 0935 08798 unto king 04428 David 01732, and say 0559 08804 unto him, Didst not thou, my lord 0113, O king 04428, swear 07650 08738 unto thine handmaid 0519, saying 0559 08800, Assuredly 03588 Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 08799 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 08799 upon my throne 03678? why then doth Adonijah 0138 reign 04427 08804?
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest 01696 08764 there with the king 04428, I also will come in 0935 08799 after 0310 thee, and confirm 04390 08765 thy words 01697.
15 And Bathsheba 01339 went in 0935 08799 unto the king 04428 into the chamber 02315: and the king 04428 was very 03966 old 02204 08804; and Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 ministered 08334 08764 unto the king 04428.
16 And Bathsheba 01339 bowed 06915 08799, and did obeisance 07812 08691 unto the king 04428. And the king 04428 said 0559 08799, What wouldest thou?
17 And she said 0559 08799 unto him, My lord 0113, thou swarest 07650 08738 by the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 unto thine handmaid 0519, [saying], Assuredly Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 08799 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 08799 upon my throne 03678.
18 And now, behold, Adonijah 0138 reigneth 04427 08804; and now, my lord 0113 the king 04428, thou knowest 03045 08804 [it] not:
19 And he hath slain 02076 08799 oxen 07794 and fat cattle 04806 and sheep 06629 in abundance 07230, and hath called 07121 08799 all the sons 01121 of the king 04428, and Abiathar 054 the priest 03548, and Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635: but Solomon 08010 thy servant 05650 hath he not called 07121 08804.
20 And thou, my lord 0113, O king 04428, the eyes 05869 of all Israel 03478 [are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell 05046 08687 them who shall sit 03427 08799 on the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 after 0310 him.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord 0113 the king 04428 shall sleep 07901 08800 with his fathers 01, that I and my son 01121 Solomon 08010 shall be counted offenders 02400.
22 And, lo, while she yet talked 01696 08764 with the king 04428, Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 also came in 0935 08804.
23 And they told 05046 08686 the king 04428, saying 0559 08800, Behold Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030. And when he was come in 0935 08799 before 06440 the king 04428, he bowed 07812 08691 himself before the king 04428 with his face 0639 to the ground 0776.
24 And Nathan 05416 said 0559 08799, My lord 0113, O king 04428, hast thou said 0559 08804, Adonijah 0138 shall reign 04427 08799 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 08799 upon my throne 03678?
25 For he is gone down 03381 08804 this day 03117, and hath slain 02076 08799 oxen 07794 and fat cattle 04806 and sheep 06629 in abundance 07230, and hath called 07121 08799 all the king's 04428 sons 01121, and the captains 08269 of the host 06635, and Abiathar 054 the priest 03548; and, behold, they eat 0398 08802 and drink 08354 08802 before 06440 him, and say 0559 08799, God save 02421 08799 king 04428 Adonijah 0138.
26 But me, [even] me thy servant 05650, and Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and thy servant 05650 Solomon 08010, hath he not called 07121 08804.
27 Is this thing 01697 done 01961 08738 by my lord 0113 the king 04428, and thou hast not shewed 03045 08689 [it] unto thy servant 05650, who should sit 03427 08799 on the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 after 0310 him?
28 Then king 04428 David 01732 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799, Call 07121 08798 me Bathsheba 01339. And she came 0935 08799 into the king's 04428 presence 06440, and stood 05975 08799 before 06440 the king 04428.
29 And the king 04428 sware 07650 08735, and said 0559 08799, [As] the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, that hath redeemed 06299 08804 my soul 05315 out of all distress 06869,
30 Even as I sware 07650 08738 unto thee by the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08800, Assuredly Solomon 08010 thy son 01121 shall reign 04427 08799 after 0310 me, and he shall sit 03427 08799 upon my throne 03678 in my stead; even so will I certainly do 06213 08799 this day 03117.
31 Then Bathsheba 01339 bowed 06915 08799 with [her] face 0639 to the earth 0776, and did reverence 07812 08691 to the king 04428, and said 0559 08799, Let my lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732 live 02421 08799 for ever 05769.
32 And king 04428 David 01732 said 0559 08799, Call 07121 08798 me Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077. And they came 0935 08799 before 06440 the king 04428.
33 The king 04428 also said 0559 08799 unto them, Take 03947 08798 with you the servants 05650 of your lord 0113, and cause Solomon 08010 my son 01121 to ride 07392 08689 upon mine own mule 06506, and bring him down 03381 08689 to Gihon 01521:
34 And let Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 anoint 04886 08804 him there king 04428 over Israel 03478: and blow 08628 08804 ye with the trumpet 07782, and say 0559 08804, God save 02421 08799 king 04428 Solomon 08010.
35 Then ye shall come up 05927 08804 after 0310 him, that he may come 0935 08804 and sit 03427 08804 upon my throne 03678; for he shall be king 04427 08799 in my stead: and I have appointed 06680 08765 him to be ruler 05057 over Israel 03478 and over Judah 03063.
36 And Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 answered 06030 08799 the king 04428, and said 0559 08799, Amen 0543: the LORD 03068 God 0430 of my lord 0113 the king 04428 say 0559 08799 so [too].
37 As the LORD 03068 hath been with my lord 0113 the king 04428, even so be he with Solomon 08010, and make 01431 00 his throne 03678 greater 01431 08762 than the throne 03678 of my lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732.
38 So Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and the Cherethites 03774, and the Pelethites 06432, went down 03381 08799, and caused Solomon 08010 to ride 07392 08686 upon king 04428 David's 01732 mule 06506, and brought 03212 08686 him to Gihon 01521.
39 And Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 took 03947 08799 an horn 07161 of oil 08081 out of the tabernacle 0168, and anointed 04886 08799 Solomon 08010. And they blew 08628 08799 the trumpet 07782; and all the people 05971 said 0559 08799, God save 02421 08799 king 04428 Solomon 08010.
40 And all the people 05971 came up 05927 08799 after 0310 him, and the people 05971 piped 02490 08764 with pipes 02485, and rejoiced 08056 with great 01419 joy 08057, so that the earth 0776 rent 01234 08735 with the sound 06963 of them.
41 And Adonijah 0138 and all the guests 07121 08803 that [were] with him heard 08085 08799 [it] as they had made an end 03615 08765 of eating 0398 08800. And when Joab 03097 heard 08085 08799 the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782, he said 0559 08799, Wherefore [is this] noise 06963 of the city 07151 being in an uproar 01993 08802?
42 And while he yet spake 01696 08764, behold, Jonathan 03129 the son 01121 of Abiathar 054 the priest 03548 came 0935 08804: and Adonijah 0138 said 0559 08799 unto him, Come in 0935 08798; for thou [art] a valiant 02428 man 0376 08676 0381, and bringest 01319 00 good 02896 tidings 01319 08762.
43 And Jonathan 03129 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799 to Adonijah 0138, Verily 061 our lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732 hath made Solomon 08010 king 04427 08689.
44 And the king 04428 hath sent 07971 08799 with him Zadok 06659 the priest 03548, and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030, and Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, and the Cherethites 03774, and the Pelethites 06432, and they have caused him to ride 07392 08686 upon the king's 04428 mule 06506:
45 And Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 and Nathan 05416 the prophet 05030 have anointed 04886 08799 him king 04428 in Gihon 01521: and they are come up 05927 08799 from thence rejoicing 08056, so that the city 07151 rang again 01949 08735. This [is] the noise 06963 that ye have heard 08085 08804.
46 And also Solomon 08010 sitteth 03427 08804 on the throne 03678 of the kingdom 04410.
47 And moreover the king's 04428 servants 05650 came 0935 08804 to bless 01288 08763 our lord 0113 king 04428 David 01732, saying 0559 08800, God 0430 make the name 08034 of Solomon 08010 better 03190 08686 than thy name 08034, and make 01431 00 his throne 03678 greater 01431 08762 than thy throne 03678. And the king 04428 bowed 07812 08691 himself upon the bed 04904.
48 And also thus said 0559 08804 the king 04428, Blessed 01288 08803 [be] the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, which hath given 05414 08804 [one] to sit 03427 08802 on my throne 03678 this day 03117, mine eyes 05869 even seeing 07200 08802 [it].
49 And all the guests 07121 08803 that [were] with Adonijah 0138 were afraid 02729 08799, and rose up 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799 every man 0376 his way 01870.
50 And Adonijah 0138 feared 03372 08804 because 06440 of Solomon 08010, and arose 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799, and caught hold 02388 08686 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196.
51 And it was told 05046 08714 Solomon 08010, saying 0559 08800, Behold, Adonijah 0138 feareth 03372 08804 king 04428 Solomon 08010: for, lo, he hath caught hold 0270 08804 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196, saying 0559 08800, Let king 04428 Solomon 08010 swear 07650 08735 unto me to day 03117 that he will not slay 04191 08686 his servant 05650 with the sword 02719.
52 And Solomon 08010 said 0559 08799, If he will shew himself a worthy 02428 man 01121, there shall not an hair 08185 of him fall 05307 08799 to the earth 0776: but if wickedness 07451 shall be found 04672 08735 in him, he shall die 04191 08804.
53 So king 04428 Solomon 08010 sent 07971 08799, and they brought him down 03381 08686 from the altar 04196. And he came 0935 08799 and bowed 07812 08691 himself to king 04428 Solomon 08010: and Solomon 08010 said 0559 08799 unto him, Go 03212 08798 to thine house 01004.

#### 1Ki 2

1 Now the days 03117 of David 01732 drew nigh 07126 08799 that he should die 04191 08800; and he charged 06680 08762 Solomon 08010 his son 01121, saying 0559 08800,
2 I go 01980 08802 the way 01870 of all the earth 0776: be thou strong 02388 08804 therefore, and shew thyself a man 0376;
3 And keep 08104 08804 the charge 04931 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, to walk 03212 08800 in his ways 01870, to keep 08104 08800 his statutes 02708, and his commandments 04687, and his judgments 04941, and his testimonies 05715, as it is written 03789 08803 in the law 08451 of Moses 04872, that thou mayest prosper 07919 08686 in all that thou doest 06213 08799, and whithersoever thou turnest 06437 08799 thyself:
4 That the LORD 03068 may continue 06965 08686 his word 01697 which he spake 01696 08765 concerning me, saying 0559 08800, If thy children 01121 take heed 08104 08799 to their way 01870, to walk 03212 08800 before 06440 me in truth 0571 with all their heart 03824 and with all their soul 05315, there shall not fail 03772 08735 thee (said 0559 08800 he) a man 0376 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478.
5 Moreover thou knowest 03045 08804 also what Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870 did 06213 08804 to me, [and] what he did 06213 08804 to the two 08147 captains 08269 of the hosts 06635 of Israel 03478, unto Abner 074 the son 01121 of Ner 05369, and unto Amasa 06021 the son 01121 of Jether 03500, whom he slew 02026 08799, and shed 07760 08799 the blood 01818 of war 04421 in peace 07965, and put 05414 08799 the blood 01818 of war 04421 upon his girdle 02290 that [was] about his loins 04975, and in his shoes 05275 that [were] on his feet 07272.
6 Do 06213 08804 therefore according to thy wisdom 02451, and let not his hoar head 07872 go down 03381 08686 to the grave 07585 in peace 07965.
7 But shew 06213 08799 kindness 02617 unto the sons 01121 of Barzillai 01271 the Gileadite 01569, and let them be of those that eat 0398 08802 at thy table 07979: for so they came 07126 08804 to me when I fled 01272 08800 because 06440 of Absalom 053 thy brother 0251.
8 And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei 08096 the son 01121 of Gera 01617, a Benjamite 01145 of Bahurim 0980, which cursed 07043 08765 me with a grievous 04834 08737 curse 07045 in the day 03117 when I went 03212 08800 to Mahanaim 04266: but he came down 03381 08804 to meet 07125 08800 me at Jordan 03383, and I sware 07650 08735 to him by the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, I will not put thee to death 04191 08686 with the sword 02719.
9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless 05352 08762: for thou [art] a wise 02450 man 0376, and knowest 03045 08804 what thou oughtest to do 06213 08799 unto him; but his hoar head 07872 bring thou down 03381 08689 to the grave 07585 with blood 01818.
10 So David 01732 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 in the city 05892 of David 01732.
11 And the days 03117 that David 01732 reigned 04427 08804 over Israel 03478 [were] forty 0705 years 08141: seven 07651 years 08141 reigned 04427 08804 he in Hebron 02275, and thirty 07970 and three 07969 years 08141 reigned 04427 08804 he in Jerusalem 03389.
12 Then sat 03427 08804 Solomon 08010 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732 his father 01; and his kingdom 04438 was established 03559 08735 greatly 03966.
13 And Adonijah 0138 the son 01121 of Haggith 02294 came 0935 08799 to Bathsheba 01339 the mother 0517 of Solomon 08010. And she said 0559 08799, Comest 0935 08800 thou peaceably 07965? And he said 0559 08799, Peaceably 07965.
14 He said 0559 08799 moreover, I have somewhat to say 01697 unto thee. And she said 0559 08799, Say on 01696 08761.
15 And he said 0559 08799, Thou knowest 03045 08804 that the kingdom 04410 was mine, and [that] all Israel 03478 set 07760 08804 their faces 06440 on me, that I should reign 04427 08800: howbeit the kingdom 04410 is turned about 05437 08735, and is become my brother's 0251: for it was his from the LORD 03068.
16 And now I ask 07592 08802 one 0259 petition 07596 of thee, deny 07725 08686 me 06440 not. And she said 0559 08799 unto him, Say on 01696 08761.
17 And he said 0559 08799, Speak 0559 08798, I pray thee, unto Solomon 08010 the king 04428, (for he will not say 07725 00 thee 06440 nay 07725 08686,) that he give 05414 08799 me Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 to wife 0802.
18 And Bathsheba 01339 said 0559 08799, Well 02896; I will speak 01696 08762 for thee unto the king 04428.
19 Bathsheba 01339 therefore went 0935 08799 unto king 04428 Solomon 08010, to speak 01696 08763 unto him for Adonijah 0138. And the king 04428 rose up 06965 08799 to meet 07125 08800 her, and bowed 07812 08691 himself unto her, and sat down 03427 08799 on his throne 03678, and caused a seat 03678 to be set 07760 08799 for the king's 04428 mother 0517; and she sat 03427 08799 on his right hand 03225.
20 Then she said 0559 08799, I desire 07592 08802 one 0259 small 06996 petition 07596 of thee; [I pray thee], say 07725 00 me 06440 not nay 07725 08686. And the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto her, Ask on 07592 08798, my mother 0517: for I will not say 07725 00 thee 06440 nay 07725 08686.
21 And she said 0559 08799, Let Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 be given 05414 08714 to Adonijah 0138 thy brother 0251 to wife 0802.
22 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799 unto his mother 0517, And why dost thou ask 07592 08802 Abishag 049 the Shunammite 07767 for Adonijah 0138? ask 07592 08798 for him the kingdom 04410 also; for he [is] mine elder 01419 brother 0251; even for him, and for Abiathar 054 the priest 03548, and for Joab 03097 the son 01121 of Zeruiah 06870.
23 Then king 04428 Solomon 08010 sware 07650 08735 by the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, God 0430 do 06213 08799 so to me, and more also 03254 08686, if Adonijah 0138 have not spoken 01696 08765 this word 01697 against his own life 05315.
24 Now therefore, [as] the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, which hath established 03559 08689 me, and set 03427 08686 me on the throne 03678 of David 01732 my father 01, and who hath made 06213 08804 me an house 01004, as he promised 01696 08765, Adonijah 0138 shall be put to death 04191 08714 this day 03117.
25 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 sent 07971 08799 by the hand 03027 of Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077; and he fell 06293 08799 upon him that he died 04191 08799.
26 And unto Abiathar 054 the priest 03548 said 0559 08804 the king 04428, Get 03212 08798 thee to Anathoth 06068, unto thine own fields 07704; for thou [art] worthy 0376 of death 04194: but I will not at this time 03117 put thee to death 04191 08686, because thou barest 05375 08804 the ark 0727 of the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 before 06440 David 01732 my father 01, and because thou hast been afflicted 06031 08694 in all wherein my father 01 was afflicted 06031 08694.
27 So Solomon 08010 thrust out 01644 08762 Abiathar 054 from being priest 03548 unto the LORD 03068; that he might fulfil 04390 08763 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 concerning the house 01004 of Eli 05941 in Shiloh 07887.
28 Then tidings 08052 came 0935 08804 to Joab 03097: for Joab 03097 had turned 05186 08804 after 0310 Adonijah 0138, though he turned 05186 08804 not after 0310 Absalom 053. And Joab 03097 fled 05127 08799 unto the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068, and caught hold 02388 08686 on the horns 07161 of the altar 04196.
29 And it was told 05046 08714 king 04428 Solomon 08010 that Joab 03097 was fled 05127 08804 unto the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068; and, behold, [he is] by 0681 the altar 04196. Then Solomon 08010 sent 07971 08799 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077, saying 0559 08800, Go 03212 08798, fall 06293 08798 upon him.
30 And Benaiah 01141 came 0935 08799 to the tabernacle 0168 of the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Thus saith 0559 08804 the king 04428, Come forth 03318 08798. And he said 0559 08799, Nay; but I will die 04191 08799 here. And Benaiah 01141 brought 07725 00 the king 04428 word 01697 again 07725 08686, saying 0559 08800, Thus said 01696 08765 Joab 03097, and thus he answered 06030 08804 me.
31 And the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto him, Do 06213 08798 as he hath said 01696 08765, and fall 06293 08798 upon him, and bury 06912 08804 him; that thou mayest take away 05493 08689 the innocent 02600 blood 01818, which Joab 03097 shed 08210 08804, from me, and from the house 01004 of my father 01.
32 And the LORD 03068 shall return 07725 08689 his blood 01818 upon his own head 07218, who fell 06293 08804 upon two 08147 men 0582 more righteous 06662 and better 02896 than he, and slew 02026 08799 them with the sword 02719, my father 01 David 01732 not knowing 03045 08804 [thereof, to wit], Abner 074 the son 01121 of Ner 05369, captain 08269 of the host 06635 of Israel 03478, and Amasa 06021 the son 01121 of Jether 03500, captain 08269 of the host 06635 of Judah 03063.
33 Their blood 01818 shall therefore return 07725 08804 upon the head 07218 of Joab 03097, and upon the head 07218 of his seed 02233 for ever 05769: but upon David 01732, and upon his seed 02233, and upon his house 01004, and upon his throne 03678, shall there be peace 07965 for 05704 ever 05769 from the LORD 03068.
34 So Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 went up 05927 08799, and fell 06293 08799 upon him, and slew 04191 08686 him: and he was buried 06912 08735 in his own house 01004 in the wilderness 04057.
35 And the king 04428 put 05414 08799 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077 in his room over the host 06635: and Zadok 06659 the priest 03548 did the king 04428 put 05414 08804 in the room of Abiathar 054.
36 And the king 04428 sent 07971 08799 and called 07121 08799 for Shimei 08096, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Build 01129 08798 thee an house 01004 in Jerusalem 03389, and dwell 03427 08804 there, and go not forth 03318 08799 thence any whither 0575.
37 For it shall be, [that] on the day 03117 thou goest out 03318 08800, and passest over 05674 08804 the brook 05158 Kidron 06939, thou shalt know 03045 08799 for certain 03045 08800 that thou shalt surely 04191 08800 die 04191 08799: thy blood 01818 shall be upon thine own head 07218.
38 And Shimei 08096 said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, The saying 01697 [is] good 02896: as my lord 0113 the king 04428 hath said 01696 08765, so will thy servant 05650 do 06213 08799. And Shimei 08096 dwelt 03427 08799 in Jerusalem 03389 many 07227 days 03117.
39 And it came to pass at the end 07093 of three 07969 years 08141, that two 08147 of the servants 05650 of Shimei 08096 ran away 01272 08799 unto Achish 0397 son 01121 of Maachah 04601 king 04428 of Gath 01661. And they told 05046 08686 Shimei 08096, saying 0559 08800, Behold, thy servants 05650 [be] in Gath 01661.
40 And Shimei 08096 arose 06965 08799, and saddled 02280 08799 his ass 02543, and went 03212 08799 to Gath 01661 to Achish 0397 to seek 01245 08763 his servants 05650: and Shimei 08096 went 03212 08799, and brought 0935 08686 his servants 05650 from Gath 01661.
41 And it was told 05046 08714 Solomon 08010 that Shimei 08096 had gone 01980 08804 from Jerusalem 03389 to Gath 01661, and was come again 07725 08799.
42 And the king 04428 sent 07971 08799 and called 07121 08799 for Shimei 08096, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Did I not make thee to swear 07650 08689 by the LORD 03068, and protested 05749 08686 unto thee, saying 0559 08800, Know 03045 08799 for a certain 03045 08800, on the day 03117 thou goest out 03318 08800, and walkest 01980 08804 abroad any whither 0575, that thou shalt surely 04191 08800 die 04191 08799? and thou saidst 0559 08799 unto me, The word 01697 [that] I have heard 08085 08804 [is] good 02896.
43 Why then hast thou not kept 08104 08804 the oath 07621 of the LORD 03068, and the commandment 04687 that I have charged 06680 08765 thee with?
44 The king 04428 said 0559 08799 moreover to Shimei 08096, Thou knowest 03045 08804 all the wickedness 07451 which thine heart 03824 is privy to 03045 08804, that thou didst 06213 08804 to David 01732 my father 01: therefore the LORD 03068 shall return 07725 08689 thy wickedness 07451 upon thine own head 07218;
45 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 [shall be] blessed 01288 08803, and the throne 03678 of David 01732 shall be established 03559 08737 before 06440 the LORD 03068 for 05704 ever 05769.
46 So the king 04428 commanded 06680 08762 Benaiah 01141 the son 01121 of Jehoiada 03077; which went out 03318 08799, and fell 06293 08799 upon him, that he died 04191 08799. And the kingdom 04467 was established 03559 08738 in the hand 03027 of Solomon 08010.

#### 1Ki 3

1 And Solomon 08010 made affinity 02859 08691 with Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and took 03947 08799 Pharaoh's 06547 daughter 01323, and brought 0935 08686 her into the city 05892 of David 01732, until he had made an end 03615 08763 of building 01129 08800 his own house 01004, and the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 round about 05439.
2 Only the people 05971 sacrificed 02076 08764 in high places 01116, because there was no house 01004 built 01129 08738 unto the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, until those days 03117.
3 And Solomon 08010 loved 0157 08799 the LORD 03068, walking 03212 08800 in the statutes 02708 of David 01732 his father 01: only he sacrificed 02076 08764 and burnt incense 06999 08688 in high places 01116.
4 And the king 04428 went 03212 08799 to Gibeon 01391 to sacrifice 02076 08800 there; for that 01931 [was] the great 01419 high place 01116: a thousand 0505 burnt offerings 05930 did Solomon 08010 offer 05927 08686 upon that altar 04196.
5 In Gibeon 01391 the LORD 03068 appeared 07200 08738 to Solomon 08010 in a dream 02472 by night 03915: and God 0430 said 0559 08799, Ask 07592 08798 what I shall give 05414 08799 thee.
6 And Solomon 08010 said 0559 08799, Thou hast shewed 06213 08804 unto thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 great 01419 mercy 02617, according as he walked 01980 08804 before 06440 thee in truth 0571, and in righteousness 06666, and in uprightness 03483 of heart 03824 with thee; and thou hast kept 08104 08799 for him this great 01419 kindness 02617, that thou hast given 05414 08799 him a son 01121 to sit 03427 08802 on his throne 03678, as [it is] this day 03117.
7 And now, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, thou hast made thy servant 05650 king 04427 08689 instead of David 01732 my father 01: and I [am but] a little 06996 child 05288: I know 03045 08799 not [how] to go out 03318 08800 or come in 0935 08800.
8 And thy servant 05650 [is] in the midst 08432 of thy people 05971 which thou hast chosen 0977 08804, a great 07227 people 05971, that cannot be numbered 04487 08735 nor counted 05608 08735 for multitude 07230.
9 Give 05414 08804 therefore thy servant 05650 an understanding 08085 08802 heart 03820 to judge 08199 08800 thy people 05971, that I may discern 0995 08687 between good 02896 and bad 07451: for who is able 03201 08799 to judge 08199 08800 this thy so great 03515 a people 05971?
10 And the speech 01697 pleased 03190 08799 05869 the Lord 0136, that Solomon 08010 had asked 07592 08804 this thing 01697.
11 And God 0430 said 0559 08799 unto him, Because thou hast asked 07592 08804 this thing 01697, and hast not asked 07592 08804 for thyself long 07227 life 03117; neither hast asked 07592 08804 riches 06239 for thyself, nor hast asked 07592 08804 the life 05315 of thine enemies 0341 08802; but hast asked 07592 08804 for thyself understanding 0995 08687 to discern 08085 08800 judgment 04941;
12 Behold, I have done 06213 08804 according to thy words 01697: lo, I have given 05414 08804 thee a wise 02450 and an understanding 0995 08737 heart 03820; so that there was none like thee before 06440 thee, neither after 0310 thee shall any arise 06965 08799 like unto thee.
13 And I have also given 05414 08804 thee that which thou hast not asked 07592 08804, both riches 06239, and honour 03519: so that there shall not be any 0376 among the kings 04428 like unto thee all thy days 03117.
14 And if thou wilt walk 03212 08799 in my ways 01870, to keep 08104 08800 my statutes 02706 and my commandments 04687, as thy father 01 David 01732 did walk 01980 08804, then I will lengthen 0748 08689 thy days 03117.
15 And Solomon 08010 awoke 03364 08799; and, behold, [it was] a dream 02472. And he came 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389, and stood 05975 08799 before 06440 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, and offered up 05927 08686 burnt offerings 05930, and offered 06213 08799 peace offerings 08002, and made 06213 08799 a feast 04960 to all his servants 05650.
16 Then came 0935 08799 there two 08147 women 0802, [that were] harlots 02181 08802, unto the king 04428, and stood 05975 08799 before 06440 him.
17 And the one 0259 woman 0802 said 0559 08799, O 0994 my lord 0113, I and this woman 0802 dwell 03427 08802 in one 0259 house 01004; and I was delivered of a child 03205 08799 with her in the house 01004.
18 And it came to pass the third 07992 day 03117 after that I was delivered 03205 08800, that this woman 0802 was delivered 03205 08799 also: and we [were] together 03162; [there was] no stranger 02114 08801 with us in the house 01004, save 02108 we two 08147 in the house 01004.
19 And this woman's 0802 child 01121 died 04191 08799 in the night 03915; because she overlaid 07901 08804 it.
20 And she arose 06965 08799 at midnight 08432 03915, and took 03947 08799 my son 01121 from beside 0681 me, while thine handmaid 0519 slept 03463, and laid 07901 08686 it in her bosom 02436, and laid 07901 08689 her dead 04191 08801 child 01121 in my bosom 02436.
21 And when I rose 06965 08799 in the morning 01242 to give my child 01121 suck 03243 08687, behold, it was dead 04191 08804: but when I had considered 0995 08709 it in the morning 01242, behold, it was not my son 01121, which I did bear 03205 08804.
22 And the other 0312 woman 0802 said 0559 08799, Nay; but the living 02416 [is] my son 01121, and the dead 04191 08801 [is] thy son 01121. And this said 0559 08802, No; but the dead 04191 08801 [is] thy son 01121, and the living 02416 [is] my son 01121. Thus they spake 01696 08762 before 06440 the king 04428.
23 Then said 0559 08799 the king 04428, The one 02063 saith 0559 08802, This [is] my son 01121 that liveth 02416, and thy son 01121 [is] the dead 04191 08801: and the other 02063 saith 0559 08802, Nay; but thy son 01121 [is] the dead 04191 08801, and my son 01121 [is] the living 02416.
24 And the king 04428 said 0559 08799, Bring 03947 08798 me a sword 02719. And they brought 0935 08686 a sword 02719 before 06440 the king 04428.
25 And the king 04428 said 0559 08799, Divide 01504 08798 the living 02416 child 03206 in two 08147, and give 05414 08798 half 02677 to the one 0259, and half 02677 to the other 0259.
26 Then spake 0559 08799 the woman 0802 whose the living 02416 child 01121 [was] unto the king 04428, for her bowels 07356 yearned 03648 08738 upon her son 01121, and she said 0559 08799, O 0994 my lord 0113, give 05414 08798 her the living 02416 child 03205 08803, and in no wise 04191 08687 slay 04191 08686 it. But the other said 0559 08802, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide 01504 08798 [it].
27 Then the king 04428 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799, Give 05414 08798 her the living 02416 child 03205 08803, and in no wise 04191 08687 slay 04191 08686 it: she [is] the mother 0517 thereof.
28 And all Israel 03478 heard 08085 08799 of the judgment 04941 which the king 04428 had judged 08199 08804; and they feared 03372 08799 the king 06440: for they saw 07200 08804 that the wisdom 02451 of God 0430 [was] in him 07130, to do 06213 08800 judgment 04941.

20 Judah 03063 and Israel 03478 [were] many 07227, as the sand 02344 which [is] by the sea 03220 in multitude 07230, eating 0398 08802 and drinking 08354 08802, and making merry 08056.
21 And Solomon 08010 reigned 04910 08802 over all kingdoms 04467 from the river 05104 unto the land 0776 of the Philistines 06430, and unto the border 01366 of Egypt 04714: they brought 05066 08688 presents 04503, and served 05647 08802 Solomon 08010 all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
22 And Solomon's 08010 provision 03899 for one 0259 day 03117 was thirty 07970 measures 03734 of fine flour 05560, and threescore 08346 measures 03734 of meal 07058,
23 Ten 06235 fat 01277 oxen 01241, and twenty 06242 oxen 01241 out of the pastures 07471, and an hundred 03967 sheep 06629, beside harts 0354, and roebucks 06643, and fallowdeer 03180, and fatted 075 08803 fowl 01257.
24 For he had dominion 07287 08802 over all [the region] on this side 05676 the river 05104, from Tiphsah 08607 even to Azzah 05804, over all the kings 04428 on this side 05676 the river 05104: and he had peace 07965 on all sides 05650 08676 05676 round about 05439 him.
25 And Judah 03063 and Israel 03478 dwelt 03427 08799 safely 0983, every man 0376 under his vine 01612 and under his fig tree 08384, from Dan 01835 even to Beersheba 0884, all the days 03117 of Solomon 08010.
26 And Solomon 08010 had forty 0705 thousand 0505 stalls 0723 of horses 05483 for his chariots 04817, and twelve 08147 06240 thousand 0505 horsemen 06571.
27 And those officers 05324 08737 provided victual 03557 08773 for king 04428 Solomon 08010, and for all that came 07131 unto king 04428 Solomon's 08010 table 07979, every man 0376 in his month 02320: they lacked 05737 08762 nothing 01697.
28 Barley 08184 also and straw 08401 for the horses 05483 and dromedaries 07409 brought 0935 08686 they unto the place 04725 where [the officers] were, every man 0376 according to his charge 04941.
29 And God 0430 gave 05414 08799 Solomon 08010 wisdom 02451 and understanding 08394 exceeding 03966 much 07235 08687, and largeness 07341 of heart 03820, even as the sand 02344 that [is] on the sea 03220 shore 08193.
30 And Solomon's 08010 wisdom 02451 excelled 07235 08799 the wisdom 02451 of all the children 01121 of the east country 06924, and all the wisdom 02451 of Egypt 04714.
31 For he was wiser 02449 08799 than all men 0120; than Ethan 0387 the Ezrahite 0250, and Heman 01968, and Chalcol 03633, and Darda 01862, the sons 01121 of Mahol 04235: and his fame 08034 was in all nations 01471 round about 05439.
32 And he spake 01696 08762 three 07969 thousand 0505 proverbs 04912: and his songs 07892 were a thousand 0505 and five 02568.
33 And he spake 01696 08762 of trees 06086, from the cedar tree 0730 that [is] in Lebanon 03844 even unto the hyssop 0231 that springeth out 03318 08802 of the wall 07023: he spake 01696 08762 also of beasts 0929, and of fowl 05775, and of creeping things 07431, and of fishes 01709.
34 And there came 0935 08799 of all people 05971 to hear 08085 08800 the wisdom 02451 of Solomon 08010, from all kings 04428 of the earth 0776, which had heard 08085 08804 of his wisdom 02451.

#### 1Ki 5

1 And Hiram 02438 king 04428 of Tyre 06865 sent 07971 08799 his servants 05650 unto Solomon 08010; for he had heard 08085 08804 that they had anointed 04886 08804 him king 04428 in the room of his father 01: for Hiram 02438 was ever 03117 a lover 0157 08802 of David 01732.
2 And Solomon 08010 sent 07971 08799 to Hiram 02438, saying 0559 08800,
3 Thou knowest 03045 08804 how that David 01732 my father 01 could 03201 08804 not build 01129 08800 an house 01004 unto the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 his God 0430 for 06440 the wars 04421 which were about him on every side 05437 08804, until the LORD 03068 put 05414 08800 them under the soles 03709 of his feet 07272.
4 But now the LORD 03068 my God 0430 hath given me rest 05117 08689 on every side 05439, [so that there is] neither adversary 07854 nor evil 07451 occurrent 06294.
5 And, behold, I purpose 0559 08802 to build 01129 08800 an house 01004 unto the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 my God 0430, as the LORD 03068 spake 01696 08765 unto David 01732 my father 01, saying 0559 08800, Thy son 01121, whom I will set 05414 08799 upon thy throne 03678 in thy room, he shall build 01129 08799 an house 01004 unto my name 08034.
6 Now therefore command 06680 08761 thou that they hew 03772 08799 me cedar trees 0730 out of Lebanon 03844; and my servants 05650 shall be with thy servants 05650: and unto thee will I give 05414 08799 hire 07939 for thy servants 05650 according to all that thou shalt appoint 0559 08799: for thou knowest 03045 08804 that [there is] not among us any 0376 that can skill 03045 08802 to hew 03772 08800 timber 06086 like unto the Sidonians 06722.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram 02438 heard 08085 08800 the words 01697 of Solomon 08010, that he rejoiced 08055 08799 greatly 03966, and said 0559 08799, Blessed 01288 08803 [be] the LORD 03068 this day 03117, which hath given 05414 08804 unto David 01732 a wise 02450 son 01121 over this great 07227 people 05971.
8 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 08799 to Solomon 08010, saying 0559 08800, I have considered 08085 08804 the things which thou sentest 07971 08804 to me for: [and] I will do 06213 08799 all thy desire 02656 concerning timber 06086 of cedar 0730, and concerning timber 06086 of fir 01265.
9 My servants 05650 shall bring [them] down 03381 08686 from Lebanon 03844 unto the sea 03220: and I will convey 07760 08799 them by sea 03220 in floats 01702 unto the place 04725 that thou shalt appoint 07971 08799 me, and will cause them to be discharged 05310 08765 there, and thou shalt receive 05375 08799 [them]: and thou shalt accomplish 06213 08799 my desire 02656, in giving 05414 08800 food 03899 for my household 01004.
10 So Hiram 02438 gave 05414 08802 Solomon 08010 cedar 0730 trees 06086 and fir 01265 trees 06086 [according to] all his desire 02656.
11 And Solomon 08010 gave 05414 08804 Hiram 02438 twenty 06242 thousand 0505 measures 03734 of wheat 02406 [for] food 04361 to his household 01004, and twenty 06242 measures 03734 of pure 03795 oil 08081: thus gave 05414 08799 Solomon 08010 to Hiram 02438 year 08141 by year 08141.
12 And the LORD 03068 gave 05414 08804 Solomon 08010 wisdom 02451, as he promised 01696 08765 him: and there was peace 07965 between Hiram 02438 and Solomon 08010; and they two 08147 00 made 03772 08799 a league 01285 together 08147.
13 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 raised 05927 08686 a levy 04522 out of all Israel 03478; and the levy 04522 was thirty 07970 thousand 0505 men 0376.
14 And he sent 07971 08799 them to Lebanon 03844, ten 06235 thousand 0505 a month 02320 by courses 02487: a month 02320 they were in Lebanon 03844, [and] two 08147 months 02320 at home 01004: and Adoniram 0141 [was] over the levy 04522.
15 And Solomon 08010 had threescore and ten 07657 thousand 0505 that bare 05375 08802 burdens 05449, and fourscore 08084 thousand 0505 hewers 02672 08802 in the mountains 02022;
16 Beside the chief 08269 of Solomon's 08010 officers 05324 08737 which [were] over the work 04399, three 07969 thousand 0505 and three 07969 hundred 03967, which ruled 07287 08802 over the people 05971 that wrought 06213 08802 in the work 04399.
17 And the king 04428 commanded 06680 08762, and they brought 05265 08686 great 01419 stones 068, costly 03368 stones 068, [and] hewed 01496 stones 068, to lay the foundation 03245 08763 of the house 01004.
18 And Solomon's 08010 builders 01129 08802 and Hiram's 02438 builders 01129 08802 did hew 06458 08799 [them], and the stonesquarers 01382: so they prepared 03559 08686 timber 06086 and stones 068 to build 01129 08800 the house 01004.

1 And it came to pass in the four 0702 hundred 03967 08141 and eightieth 08084 year 08141 after the children 01121 of Israel 03478 were come out 03318 08800 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of Solomon's 08010 reign 04427 08800 over Israel 03478, in the month 02320 Zif 02099, which [is] the second 08145 month 02320, that he began to build 01129 08799 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
2 And the house 01004 which king 04428 Solomon 08010 built 01129 08804 for the LORD 03068, the length 0753 thereof [was] threescore 08346 cubits 0520, and the breadth 07341 thereof twenty 06242 [cubits], and the height 06967 thereof thirty 07970 cubits 0520.
3 And the porch 0197 before 06440 the temple 01964 of the house 01004, twenty 06242 cubits 0520 [was] the length 0753 thereof, according to the breadth 07341 of the house 01004; [and] ten 06235 cubits 0520 [was] the breadth 07341 thereof before the house 01004.
4 And for the house 01004 he made 06213 08799 windows 02474 of narrow 0331 08801 lights 08261.
5 And against the wall 07023 of the house 01004 he built 01129 08799 chambers 03326 08675 03326 round about 05439, [against] the walls 07023 of the house 01004 round about 05439, [both] of the temple 01964 and of the oracle 01687: and he made 06213 08799 chambers 06763 round about 05439:
6 The nethermost 08481 chamber 03326 08675 03326 [was] five 02568 cubits 0520 broad 07341, and the middle 08484 [was] six 08337 cubits 0520 broad 07341, and the third 07992 [was] seven 07651 cubits 0520 broad 07341: for without [in the wall] of 02351 the house 01004 he made 05414 08804 narrowed rests 04052 round about 05439, that [the beams] should not be fastened 0270 08800 in the walls 07023 of the house 01004.
7 And the house 01004, when it was in building 01129 08736, was built 01129 08738 of stone 068 made ready 08003 before it was brought 04551 thither: so that there was neither hammer 04717 nor axe 01631 [nor] any tool 03627 of iron 01270 heard 08085 08738 in the house 01004, while it was in building 01129 08736.
8 The door 06607 for the middle 08484 chamber 06763 [was] in the right 03233 side 03802 of the house 01004: and they went up 05927 08799 with winding stairs 03883 into the middle 08484 [chamber], and out of the middle 08484 into the third 07992.
9 So he built 01129 08799 the house 01004, and finished 03615 08762 it; and covered 05603 08799 the house 01004 with beams 01356 and boards 07713 of cedar 0730.
10 And [then] he built 01129 08799 chambers 03326 08675 03326 against all the house 01004, five 02568 cubits 0520 high 06967: and they rested 0270 08799 on the house 01004 [with] timber 06086 of cedar 0730.
11 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Solomon 08010, saying 0559 08800,
12 [Concerning] this house 01004 which thou art in building 01129 08802, if thou wilt walk 03212 08799 in my statutes 02708, and execute 06213 08799 my judgments 04941, and keep 08104 08804 all my commandments 04687 to walk 03212 08800 in them; then will I perform 06965 08689 my word 01697 with thee, which I spake 01696 08765 unto David 01732 thy father 01:
13 And I will dwell 07931 08804 among 08432 the children 01121 of Israel 03478, and will not forsake 05800 08799 my people 05971 Israel 03478.
14 So Solomon 08010 built 01129 08799 the house 01004, and finished 03615 08762 it.
15 And he built 01129 08799 the walls 07023 of the house 01004 within 01004 with boards 06763 of cedar 0730, both the floor 07172 of the house 01004, and the walls 07023 of the cieling 05604: [and] he covered 06823 08765 [them] on the inside 01004 with wood 06086, and covered 06823 08762 the floor 07172 of the house 01004 with planks 06763 of fir 01265.
16 And he built 01129 08799 twenty 06242 cubits 0520 on the sides 03411 of the house 01004, both 04480 the floor 07172 and the walls 07023 with boards 06763 of cedar 0730: he even built 01129 08799 [them] for it within 01004, [even] for the oracle 01687, [even] for the most 06944 holy 06944 [place].
17 And the house 01004, that [is], the temple 01964 before 03942 it, was forty 0705 cubits 0520 [long].
18 And the cedar 0730 of the house 01004 within 06441 [was] carved 04734 with knops 06497 and open 06362 08803 flowers 06731: all [was] cedar 0730; there was no stone 068 seen 07200 08738.
19 And the oracle 01687 he prepared 03559 08689 in 08432 the house 01004 within 06441, to set 05414 08800 there the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068.
20 And the oracle 01687 in the forepart 06440 [was] twenty 06242 cubits 0520 in length 0753, and twenty 06242 cubits 0520 in breadth 07341, and twenty 06242 cubits 0520 in the height 06967 thereof: and he overlaid 06823 08762 it with pure 05462 08803 gold 02091; and [so] covered 06823 08762 the altar 04196 [which was of] cedar 0730.
21 So Solomon 08010 overlaid 06823 08762 the house 01004 within 06441 with pure 05462 08803 gold 02091: and he made a partition 05674 08762 by the chains 07572 08675 07572 of gold 02091 before 06440 the oracle 01687; and he overlaid 06823 08762 it with gold 02091.
22 And the whole house 01004 he overlaid 06823 08765 with gold 02091, until he had finished 08552 08800 all the house 01004: also the whole altar 04196 that [was] by the oracle 01687 he overlaid 06823 08765 with gold 02091.
23 And within the oracle 01687 he made 06213 08799 two 08147 cherubims 03742 [of] olive 08081 tree 06086, [each] ten 06235 cubits 0520 high 06967.
24 And five 02568 cubits 0520 [was] the one 0259 wing 03671 of the cherub 03742, and five 02568 cubits 0520 the other 08145 wing 03671 of the cherub 03742: from the uttermost part 07098 of the one wing 03671 unto the uttermost part 07098 of the other 03671 [were] ten 06235 cubits 0520.
25 And the other 08145 cherub 03742 [was] ten 06235 cubits 0520: both 08147 the cherubims 03742 [were] of one 0259 measure 04060 and one 0259 size 07095.
26 The height 06967 of the one 0259 cherub 03742 [was] ten 06235 cubits 0520, and so [was it] of the other 08145 cherub 03742.
27 And he set 05414 08799 the cherubims 03742 within 08432 the inner 06442 house 01004: and they stretched forth 06566 08799 the wings 03671 of the cherubims 03742, so that the wing 03671 of the one 0259 touched 05060 08799 the [one] wall 07023, and the wing 03671 of the other 08145 cherub 03742 touched 05060 08802 the other 08145 wall 07023; and their wings 03671 touched 05060 08802 one 03671 another 03671 in the midst 08432 of the house 01004.
28 And he overlaid 06823 08762 the cherubims 03742 with gold 02091.
29 And he carved 07049 08804 all the walls 07023 of the house 01004 round about 04524 with carved 06603 figures 04734 of cherubims 03742 and palm trees 08561 and open 06362 08803 flowers 06731, within 06441 and without 02435.
30 And the floor 07172 of the house 01004 he overlaid 06823 08765 with gold 02091, within 06441 and without 02435.
31 And for the entering 06607 of the oracle 01687 he made 06213 08804 doors 01817 [of] olive 08081 tree 06086: the lintel 0352 [and] side posts 04201 [were] a fifth part 02549 [of the wall].
32 The two 08147 doors 01817 also [were of] olive 08081 tree 06086; and he carved 07049 08804 upon them carvings 04734 of cherubims 03742 and palm trees 08561 and open 06362 08803 flowers 06731, and overlaid 06823 08765 [them] with gold 02091, and spread 07286 08686 gold 02091 upon the cherubims 03742, and upon the palm trees 08561.
33 So also made 06213 08804 he for the door 06607 of the temple 01964 posts 04201 [of] olive 08081 tree 06086, a fourth part 07243 [of the wall].
34 And the two 08147 doors 01817 [were of] fir 01265 tree 06086: the two 08147 leaves 06763 of the one 0259 door 01817 [were] folding 01550, and the two 08147 leaves 07050 of the other 08145 door 01817 [were] folding 01550.
35 And he carved 07049 08804 [thereon] cherubims 03742 and palm trees 08561 and open 06362 08803 flowers 06731: and covered 06823 08765 [them] with gold 02091 fitted 03474 08794 upon the carved work 02707 08794.
36 And he built 01129 08799 the inner 06442 court 02691 with three 07969 rows 02905 of hewed stone 01496, and a row 02905 of cedar 0730 beams 03773.
37 In the fourth 07243 year 08141 was the foundation 03245 00 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 laid 03245 08795, in the month 03391 Zif 02099:
38 And in the eleventh 0259 06240 year 08141, in the month 03391 Bul 0945, which [is] the eighth 08066 month 02320, was the house 01004 finished 03615 08804 throughout all the parts 01697 thereof, and according to all the fashion 04941 of it. So was he seven 07651 years 08141 in building 01129 08799 it.

#### 1Ki 7

1 But Solomon 08010 was building 01129 08804 his own house 01004 thirteen 07969 06240 years 08141, and he finished 03615 08762 all his house 01004.
2 He built 01129 08799 also the house 01004 of the forest 03293 of Lebanon 03844; the length 0753 thereof [was] an hundred 03967 cubits 0520, and the breadth 07341 thereof fifty 02572 cubits 0520, and the height 06967 thereof thirty 07970 cubits 0520, upon four 0702 rows 02905 of cedar 0730 pillars 05982, with cedar 0730 beams 03773 upon the pillars 05982.
3 And [it was] covered 05603 08803 with cedar 0730 above 04605 upon the beams 06763, that [lay] on forty 0705 five 02568 pillars 05982, fifteen 06240 [in] a row 02905.
4 And [there were] windows 08261 [in] three 07969 rows 02905, and light 04237 [was] against light 04237 [in] three 07969 ranks 06471.
5 And all the doors 06607 and posts 04201 [were] square 07251 08803, with the windows 08260: and light 04237 [was] against 04136 light 04237 [in] three 07969 ranks 06471.
6 And he made 06213 08804 a porch 0197 of pillars 05982; the length 0753 thereof [was] fifty 02572 cubits 0520, and the breadth 07341 thereof thirty 07970 cubits 0520: and the porch 0197 [was] before 06440 them: and the [other] pillars 05982 and the thick beam 05646 [were] before them.
7 Then he made 06213 08804 a porch 0197 for the throne 03678 where he might judge 08199 08799, [even] the porch 0197 of judgment 04941: and [it was] covered 05603 08803 with cedar 0730 from one side of the floor 07172 to the other 07172.
8 And his house 01004 where he dwelt 03427 08799 [had] another 0312 court 02691 within 01004 the porch 0197, [which] was of the like work 04639. Solomon 08010 made 06213 08799 also an house 01004 for Pharaoh's 06547 daughter 01323, whom he had taken 03947 08804 [to wife], like unto this porch 0197.
9 All these [were of] costly 03368 stones 068, according to the measures 04060 of hewed stones 01496, sawed 01641 08775 with saws 04050, within 01004 and without 02351, even from the foundation 04527 unto the coping 02947, and [so] on the outside 02351 toward the great 01419 court 02691.
10 And the foundation 03245 08794 [was of] costly 03368 stones 068, even great 01419 stones 068, stones 068 of ten 06235 cubits 0520, and stones 068 of eight 08083 cubits 0520.
11 And above 04605 [were] costly 03368 stones 068, after the measures 04060 of hewed stones 01496, and cedars 0730.
12 And the great 01419 court 02691 round about 05439 [was] with three 07969 rows 02905 of hewed stones 01496, and a row 02905 of cedar 0730 beams 03773, both for the inner 06442 court 02691 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and for the porch 0197 of the house 01004.
13 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 sent 07971 08799 and fetched 03947 08799 Hiram 02438 out of Tyre 06865.
14 He [was] a widow's 0802 0490 son 01121 of the tribe 04294 of Naphtali 05321, and his father 01 [was] a man 0376 of Tyre 06876, a worker 02790 08802 in brass 05178: and he was filled 04390 08735 with wisdom 02451, and understanding 08394, and cunning 01847 to work 06213 08800 all works 04399 in brass 05178. And he came 0935 08799 to king 04428 Solomon 08010, and wrought 06213 08799 all his work 04399.
15 For he cast 06696 08799 two 08147 pillars 05982 of brass 05178, of eighteen 08083 06240 cubits 0520 high 06967 apiece 05982 0259: and a line 02339 of twelve 08147 06240 cubits 0520 did compass 05437 00 either 08145 of them about 05437 08799.
16 And he made 06213 08804 two 08147 chapiters 03805 [of] molten 03332 08716 brass 05178, to set 05414 08800 upon the tops 07218 of the pillars 05982: the height 06967 of the one 0259 chapiter 03805 [was] five 02568 cubits 0520, and the height 06967 of the other 08145 chapiter 03805 [was] five 02568 cubits 0520:
17 [And] nets 07638 of checker 07639 work 04639, and wreaths 01434 of chain 08333 work 04639, for the chapiters 03805 which [were] upon the top 07218 of the pillars 05982; seven 07651 for the one 0259 chapiter 03805, and seven 07651 for the other 08145 chapiter 03805.
18 And he made 06213 08799 the pillars 05982, and two 08147 rows 02905 round about 05439 upon the one 0259 network 07639, to cover 03680 08763 the chapiters 03805 that [were] upon the top 07218, with pomegranates 07416: and so did 06213 08804 he for the other 08145 chapiter 03805.
19 And the chapiters 03805 that [were] upon the top 07218 of the pillars 05982 [were] of lily 07799 work 04639 in the porch 0197, four 0702 cubits 0520.
20 And the chapiters 03805 upon the two 08147 pillars 05982 [had pomegranates] also above 04605, over against 05980 the belly 0990 which [was] by 05676 the network 07639: and the pomegranates 07416 [were] two hundred 03967 in rows 02905 round about 05439 upon the other 08145 chapiter 03805.
21 And he set up 06965 08686 the pillars 05982 in the porch 0197 of the temple 01964: and he set up 06965 08686 the right 03233 pillar 05982, and called 07121 08799 the name 08034 thereof Jachin 03199: and he set up 06965 08686 the left 08042 pillar 05982, and called 07121 08799 the name 08034 thereof Boaz 01162.
22 And upon the top 07218 of the pillars 05982 [was] lily 07799 work 04639: so was the work 04399 of the pillars 05982 finished 08552 08799.
23 And he made 06213 08799 a molten 03332 08716 sea 03220, ten 06235 cubits 0520 from the one brim 08193 to the other 08193: [it was] round 05696 all about 05439, and his height 06967 [was] five 02568 cubits 0520: and a line 06957 08675 06961 of thirty 07970 cubits 0520 did compass 05437 08799 it round about 05439.
24 And under the brim 08193 of it round about 05439 [there were] knops 06497 compassing 05437 08802 it, ten 06235 in a cubit 0520, compassing 05362 08688 the sea 03220 round about 05439: the knops 06497 [were] cast 03333 in two 08147 rows 02905, when it was cast 03332 08803.
25 It stood 05975 08802 upon twelve 08147 06240 oxen 01241, three 07969 looking 06437 08802 toward the north 06828, and three 07969 looking 06437 08802 toward the west 03220, and three 07969 looking 06437 08802 toward the south 05045, and three 07969 looking 06437 08802 toward the east 04217: and the sea 03220 [was set] above 04605 upon them, and all their hinder parts 0268 [were] inward 01004.
26 And it [was] an hand breadth 02947 thick 05672, and the brim 08193 thereof was wrought 04639 like the brim 08193 of a cup 03563, with flowers 06525 of lilies 07799: it contained 03557 08686 two thousand 0505 baths 01324.
27 And he made 06213 08799 ten 06235 bases 04350 of brass 05178; four 0702 cubits 0520 [was] the length 0753 of one 0259 base 04350, and four 0702 cubits 0520 the breadth 07341 thereof, and three 07969 cubits 0520 the height 06967 of it.
28 And the work 04639 of the bases 04350 [was] on this [manner]: they had borders 04526, and the borders 04526 [were] between the ledges 07948:
29 And on the borders 04526 that [were] between the ledges 07948 [were] lions 0738, oxen 01241, and cherubims 03742: and upon the ledges 07948 [there was] a base 03653 above 04605: and beneath the lions 0738 and oxen 01241 [were] certain additions 03914 made of thin 04174 work 04639.
30 And every 0259 base 04350 had four 0702 brasen 05178 wheels 0212, and plates 05633 of brass 05178: and the four 0702 corners 06471 thereof had undersetters 03802: under the laver 03595 [were] undersetters 03802 molten 03332 08803, at the side 05676 of every 0376 addition 03914.
31 And the mouth 06310 of it within 01004 the chapiter 03805 and above 04605 [was] a cubit 0520: but the mouth 06310 thereof [was] round 05696 [after] the work 04639 of the base 03653, a cubit 0520 and an half 02677: and also upon the mouth 06310 of it [were] gravings 04734 with their borders 04526, foursquare 07251 08794, not round 05696.
32 And under 08478 the borders 04526 [were] four 0702 wheels 0212; and the axletrees 03027 of the wheels 0212 [were joined] to the base 04350: and the height 06967 of a 0259 wheel 0212 [was] a cubit 0520 and half 02677 a cubit 0520.
33 And the work 04639 of the wheels 0212 [was] like the work 04639 of a chariot 04818 wheel 0212: their axletrees 03027, and their naves 01354, and their felloes 02839, and their spokes 02840, [were] all molten 03332 08716.
34 And [there were] four 0702 undersetters 03802 to the four 0702 corners 06438 of one 0259 base 04350: [and] the undersetters 03802 [were] of the very base 04350 itself.
35 And in the top 07218 of the base 04350 [was there] a round 05696 compass 05439 of half 02677 a cubit 0520 high 06967: and on the top 07218 of the base 04350 the ledges 03027 thereof and the borders 04526 thereof [were] of the same.
36 For on the plates 03871 of the ledges 03027 thereof, and on the borders 04526 thereof, he graved 06605 08762 cherubims 03742, lions 0738, and palm trees 08561, according to the proportion 04626 of every one 0376, and additions 03914 round about 05439.
37 After this [manner] he made 06213 08804 the ten 06235 bases 04350: all of them had one 0259 casting 04165, one 0259 measure 04060, [and] one 0259 size 07095.
38 Then made 06213 08799 he ten 06235 lavers 03595 of brass 05178: one 0259 laver 03595 contained 03557 08686 forty 0705 baths 01324: [and] every 0259 laver 03595 was four 0702 cubits 0520: [and] upon every one 0259 of the ten 06235 bases 04350 one 0259 laver 03595.
39 And he put 05414 08799 five 02568 bases 04350 on the right 03225 side 03802 of the house 01004, and five 02568 on the left 08040 side 03802 of the house 01004: and he set 05414 08804 the sea 03220 on the right 03233 side 03802 of the house 01004 eastward 06924 over against 04136 the south 05045.
40 And Hiram 02438 made 06213 08799 the lavers 03595, and the shovels 03257, and the basons 04219. So Hiram 02438 made 03615 08762 an end of doing 06213 08800 all the work 04399 that he made 06213 08804 king 04428 Solomon 08010 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068:
41 The two 08147 pillars 05982, and the [two] bowls 01543 of the chapiters 03805 that [were] on the top 07218 of the two 08147 pillars 05982; and the two 08147 networks 07639, to cover 03680 08763 the two 08147 bowls 01543 of the chapiters 03805 which [were] upon the top 07218 of the pillars 05982;
42 And four 0702 hundred 03967 pomegranates 07416 for the two 08147 networks 07639, [even] two 08147 rows 02905 of pomegranates 07416 for one 0259 network 07639, to cover 03680 08763 the two 08147 bowls 01543 of the chapiters 03805 that [were] upon 06440 the pillars 05982;
43 And the ten 06235 bases 04350, and ten 06235 lavers 03595 on the bases 04350;
44 And one 0259 sea 03220, and twelve 08147 06240 oxen 01241 under the sea 03220;
45 And the pots 05518, and the shovels 03257, and the basons 04219: and all these vessels 03627, which Hiram 02438 made 06213 08804 to king 04428 Solomon 08010 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, [were of] bright 04178 08794 brass 05178.
46 In the plain 03603 of Jordan 03383 did the king 04428 cast 03332 08804 them, in the clay 04568 ground 0127 between Succoth 05523 and Zarthan 06891.
47 And Solomon 08010 left 03240 08686 all the vessels 03627 [unweighed], because they were exceeding 03966 03966 many 07230: neither was the weight 04948 of the brass 05178 found out 02713 08738.
48 And Solomon 08010 made 06213 08799 all the vessels 03627 that [pertained] unto the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: the altar 04196 of gold 02091, and the table 07979 of gold 02091, whereupon the shewbread 03899 06440 [was],
49 And the candlesticks 04501 of pure 05462 08803 gold 02091, five 02568 on the right 03225 [side], and five 02568 on the left 08040, before 06440 the oracle 01687, with the flowers 06525, and the lamps 05216, and the tongs 04457 [of] gold 02091,
50 And the bowls 05592, and the snuffers 04212, and the basons 04219, and the spoons 03709, and the censers 04289 [of] pure 05462 08803 gold 02091; and the hinges 06596 [of] gold 02091, [both] for the doors 01817 of the inner 06442 house 01004, the most 06944 holy 06944 [place, and] for the doors 01817 of the house 01004, [to wit], of the temple 01964.
51 So was ended 07999 08799 all the work 04399 that king 04428 Solomon 08010 made 06213 08804 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. And Solomon 08010 brought in 0935 08686 the things which David 01732 his father 01 had dedicated 06944; [even] the silver 03701, and the gold 02091, and the vessels 03627, did he put 05414 08804 among the treasures 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.

#### 1Ki 8

1 Then Solomon 08010 assembled 06950 08686 the elders 02205 of Israel 03478, and all the heads 07218 of the tribes 04294, the chief 05387 of the fathers 01 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478, unto king 04428 Solomon 08010 in Jerusalem 03389, that they might bring up 05927 08687 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 out of the city 05892 of David 01732, which [is] Zion 06726.
2 And all the men 0376 of Israel 03478 assembled 06950 08735 themselves unto king 04428 Solomon 08010 at the feast 02282 in the month 03391 Ethanim 0388, which [is] the seventh 07637 month 02320.
3 And all the elders 02205 of Israel 03478 came 0935 08799, and the priests 03548 took up 05375 08799 the ark 0727.
4 And they brought up 05927 08686 the ark 0727 of the LORD 03068, and the tabernacle 0168 of the congregation 04150, and all the holy 06944 vessels 03627 that [were] in the tabernacle 0168, even those did the priests 03548 and the Levites 03881 bring up 05927 08686.
5 And king 04428 Solomon 08010, and all the congregation 05712 of Israel 03478, that were assembled 03259 08737 unto him, [were] with him before 06440 the ark 0727, sacrificing 02076 08764 sheep 06629 and oxen 01241, that could not be told 05608 08735 nor numbered 04487 08735 for multitude 07230.
6 And the priests 03548 brought in 0935 08686 the ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 unto his place 04725, into the oracle 01687 of the house 01004, to the most 06944 holy 06944 [place, even] under the wings 03671 of the cherubims 03742.
7 For the cherubims 03742 spread forth 06566 08802 [their] two wings 03671 over the place 04725 of the ark 0727, and the cherubims 03742 covered 05526 08799 the ark 0727 and the staves 0905 thereof above 04605.
8 And they drew out 0748 08686 the staves 0905, that the ends 07218 of the staves 0905 were seen out 07200 08735 in the holy 06944 [place] before 06440 the oracle 01687, and they were not seen 07200 08735 without 02351: and there they are unto this day 03117.
9 [There was] nothing in the ark 0727 save 07535 the two 08147 tables 03871 of stone 068, which Moses 04872 put 03240 08689 there at Horeb 02722, when the LORD 03068 made 03772 08804 [a covenant] with the children 01121 of Israel 03478, when they came out 03318 08800 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests 03548 were come out 03318 08800 of the holy 06944 [place], that the cloud 06051 filled 04390 08804 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068,
11 So that the priests 03548 could 03201 08804 not stand 05975 08800 to minister 08334 08763 because 06440 of the cloud 06051: for the glory 03519 of the LORD 03068 had filled 04390 08804 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
12 Then spake 0559 08804 Solomon 08010, The LORD 03068 said 0559 08804 that he would dwell 07931 08800 in the thick darkness 06205.
13 I have surely 01129 08800 built 01129 08804 thee an house 01004 to dwell in 02073, a settled place 04349 for thee to abide in 03427 08800 for ever 05769.
14 And the king 04428 turned 05437 00 his face 06440 about 05437 08686, and blessed 01288 08762 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478: (and all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 stood 05975 08802;)
15 And he said 0559 08799, Blessed 01288 08803 [be] the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, which spake 01696 08765 with his mouth 06310 unto David 01732 my father 01, and hath with his hand 03027 fulfilled 04390 08765 [it], saying 0559 08800,
16 Since the day 03117 that I brought forth 03318 08689 my people 05971 Israel 03478 out of Egypt 04714, I chose 0977 08804 no city 05892 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478 to build 01129 08800 an house 01004, that my name 08034 might be therein; but I chose 0977 08799 David 01732 to be over my people 05971 Israel 03478.
17 And it was in the heart 03824 of David 01732 my father 01 to build 01129 08800 an house 01004 for the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478.
18 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto David 01732 my father 01, Whereas 03282 0834 it was in thine heart 03824 to build 01129 08800 an house 01004 unto my name 08034, thou didst well 02895 08689 that it was in thine heart 03824.
19 Nevertheless 07535 thou shalt not build 01129 08799 the house 01004; but thy son 01121 that shall come forth out 03318 08802 of thy loins 02504, he shall build 01129 08799 the house 01004 unto my name 08034.
20 And the LORD 03068 hath performed 06965 08686 his word 01697 that he spake 01696 08765, and I am risen up 06965 08799 in the room of David 01732 my father 01, and sit 03427 08799 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478, as the LORD 03068 promised 01696 08765, and have built 01129 08799 an house 01004 for the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478.
21 And I have set 07760 08799 there a place 04725 for the ark 0727, wherein [is] the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068, which he made 03772 08804 with our fathers 01, when he brought them out 03318 08687 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
22 And Solomon 08010 stood 05975 08799 before 06440 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 in the presence of 05048 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478, and spread forth 06566 08799 his hands 03709 toward heaven 08064:
23 And he said 0559 08799, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, [there is] no God 0430 like thee, in heaven 08064 above 04605, or on earth 0776 beneath, who keepest 08104 08802 covenant 01285 and mercy 02617 with thy servants 05650 that walk 01980 08802 before 06440 thee with all their heart 03820:
24 Who hast kept 08104 08804 with thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 that thou promisedst 01696 08765 him: thou spakest 01696 08762 also with thy mouth 06310, and hast fulfilled 04390 08765 [it] with thine hand 03027, as [it is] this day 03117.
25 Therefore now, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, keep 08104 08798 with thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01 that thou promisedst 01696 08765 him, saying 0559 08800, There shall not fail 03772 08735 thee a man 0376 in my sight 06440 to sit 03427 08802 on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478; so 07535 that thy children 01121 take heed 08104 08799 to their way 01870, that they walk 03212 08800 before 06440 me as thou hast walked 01980 08804 before 06440 me.
26 And now, O God 0430 of Israel 03478, let thy word 01697, I pray thee, be verified 0539 08735, which thou spakest 01696 08765 unto thy servant 05650 David 01732 my father 01.
27 But will God 0430 indeed 0552 dwell 03427 08799 on the earth 0776? behold, the heaven 08064 and heaven 08064 of heavens 08064 cannot contain 03557 08770 thee; how much less 0637 this house 01004 that I have builded 01129 08804?
28 Yet have thou respect 06437 08804 unto the prayer 08605 of thy servant 05650, and to his supplication 08467, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, to hearken 08085 08800 unto the cry 07440 and to the prayer 08605, which thy servant 05650 prayeth 06419 08693 before 06440 thee to day 03117:
29 That thine eyes 05869 may be open 06605 08803 toward this house 01004 night 03915 and day 03117, [even] toward the place 04725 of which thou hast said 0559 08804, My name 08034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearken 08085 08800 unto the prayer 08605 which thy servant 05650 shall make 06419 08691 toward this place 04725.
30 And hearken 08085 08804 thou to the supplication 08467 of thy servant 05650, and of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, when they shall pray 06419 08691 toward this place 04725: and hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 08800 place 04725: and when thou hearest 08085 08804, forgive 05545 08804.
31 If any man 0376 trespass 02398 08799 against his neighbour 07453, and an oath 0423 be laid 05375 08804 upon him to cause him to swear 0422 08687, and the oath 0423 come 0935 08804 before 06440 thine altar 04196 in this house 01004:
32 Then hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064, and do 06213 08804, and judge 08199 08804 thy servants 05650, condemning 07561 08687 the wicked 07563, to bring 05414 08800 his way 01870 upon his head 07218; and justifying 06663 08687 the righteous 06662, to give 05414 08800 him according to his righteousness 06666.
33 When thy people 05971 Israel 03478 be smitten down 05062 08736 before 06440 the enemy 0341 08802, because they have sinned 02398 08799 against thee, and shall turn again 07725 08804 to thee, and confess 03034 08689 thy name 08034, and pray 06419 08694, and make supplication 02603 08694 unto thee in this house 01004:
34 Then hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064, and forgive 05545 08804 the sin 02403 of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, and bring them again 07725 08689 unto the land 0127 which thou gavest 05414 08804 unto their fathers 01.
35 When heaven 08064 is shut up 06113 08736, and there is no rain 04306, because they have sinned 02398 08799 against thee; if they pray 06419 08694 toward this place 04725, and confess 03034 08689 thy name 08034, and turn 07725 08799 from their sin 02403, when thou afflictest 06031 08686 them:
36 Then hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064, and forgive 05545 08804 the sin 02403 of thy servants 05650, and of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, that thou teach 03384 08686 them the good 02896 way 01870 wherein they should walk 03212 08799, and give 05414 08804 rain 04306 upon thy land 0776, which thou hast given 05414 08804 to thy people 05971 for an inheritance 05159.
37 If there be in the land 0776 famine 07458, if there be pestilence 01698, blasting 07711, mildew 03420, locust 0697, [or] if there be caterpiller 02625; if their enemy 0341 08802 besiege 06887 08686 them in the land 0776 of their cities 08179; whatsoever plague 05061, whatsoever sickness 04245 [there be];
38 What prayer 08605 and supplication 08467 soever be [made] by any man 0120, [or] by all thy people 05971 Israel 03478, which shall know 03045 08799 every man 0376 the plague 05061 of his own heart 03824, and spread forth 06566 08804 his hands 03709 toward this house 01004:
39 Then hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 08800 place 04349, and forgive 05545 08804, and do 06213 08804, and give 05414 08804 to every man 0376 according to his ways 01870, whose heart 03824 thou knowest 03045 08799; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest 03045 08804 the hearts 03824 of all the children 01121 of men 0120;)
40 That they may fear 03372 08799 thee all the days 03117 that they live 02416 in 06440 the land 0127 which thou gavest 05414 08804 unto our fathers 01.
41 Moreover concerning a stranger 05237, that [is] not of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, but cometh out 0935 08804 of a far 07350 country 0776 for 04616 thy name's 08034 sake;
42 (For they shall hear 08085 08799 of thy great 01419 name 08034, and of thy strong 02389 hand 03027, and of thy stretched out 05186 08803 arm 02220;) when he shall come 0935 08804 and pray 06419 08694 toward this house 01004;
43 Hear 08085 08799 thou in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 08800 place 04349, and do 06213 08804 according to all that the stranger 05237 calleth 07121 08799 to thee for: that all people 05971 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 08799 thy name 08034, to fear 03372 08800 thee, as [do] thy people 05971 Israel 03478; and that they may know 03045 08800 that this house 01004, which I have builded 01129 08804, is called 07121 08738 by thy name 08034.
44 If thy people 05971 go out 03318 08799 to battle 04421 against their enemy 0341 08802, whithersoever 01870 thou shalt send 07971 08799 them, and shall pray 06419 08694 unto the LORD 03068 toward 01870 the city 05892 which thou hast chosen 0977 08804, and [toward] the house 01004 that I have built 01129 08804 for thy name 08034:
45 Then hear 08085 08804 thou in heaven 08064 their prayer 08605 and their supplication 08467, and maintain 06213 08804 their cause 04941.
46 If they sin 02398 08799 against thee, (for [there is] no man 0120 that sinneth 02398 08799 not,) and thou be angry 0599 08804 with them, and deliver 05414 08804 them to the enemy 0341 08802, so that they carry them away 07617 08804 captives 07617 08802 unto 06440 the land 0776 of the enemy 0341 08802, far 07350 or near 07138;
47 [Yet] if they shall bethink 07725 08689 themselves in the land 0776 whither they were carried captives 07617 08738, and repent 07725 08804 03820, and make supplication 02603 08694 unto thee in the land 0776 of them that carried them captives 07617 08802, saying 0559 08800, We have sinned 02398 08804, and have done perversely 05753 08689, we have committed wickedness 07561 08804;
48 And [so] return 07725 08804 unto thee with all their heart 03824, and with all their soul 05315, in the land 0776 of their enemies 0341 08802, which led them away captive 07617 08804, and pray 06419 08694 unto thee toward 01870 their land 0776, which thou gavest 05414 08804 unto their fathers 01, the city 05892 which thou hast chosen 0977 08804, and the house 01004 which I have built 01129 08804 for thy name 08034:
49 Then hear 08085 08804 thou their prayer 08605 and their supplication 08467 in heaven 08064 thy dwelling 03427 08800 place 04349, and maintain 06213 08804 their cause 04941,
50 And forgive 05545 08804 thy people 05971 that have sinned 02398 08804 against thee, and all their transgressions 06588 wherein they have transgressed 06586 08804 against thee, and give 05414 08804 them compassion 07356 before 06440 them who carried them captive 07617 08802, that they may have compassion 07355 08765 on them:
51 For they [be] thy people 05971, and thine inheritance 05159, which thou broughtest forth 03318 08689 out of Egypt 04714, from the midst 08432 of the furnace 03564 of iron 01270:
52 That thine eyes 05869 may be open 06605 08803 unto the supplication 08467 of thy servant 05650, and unto the supplication 08467 of thy people 05971 Israel 03478, to hearken 08085 08800 unto them in all that they call 07121 08800 for unto thee.
53 For thou didst separate 0914 08689 them from among all the people 05971 of the earth 0776, [to be] thine inheritance 05159, as thou spakest 01696 08765 by the hand 03027 of Moses 04872 thy servant 05650, when thou broughtest 03318 08687 our fathers 01 out of Egypt 04714, O Lord 0136 GOD 03069.
54 And it was [so], that when Solomon 08010 had made an end 03615 08763 of praying 06419 08692 all this prayer 08605 and supplication 08467 unto the LORD 03068, he arose 06965 08804 from before 06440 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068, from kneeling 03766 08800 on his knees 01290 with his hands 03709 spread up 06566 08803 to heaven 08064.
55 And he stood 05975 08799, and blessed 01288 08762 all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 with a loud 01419 voice 06963, saying 0559 08800,
56 Blessed 01288 08803 [be] the LORD 03068, that hath given 05414 08804 rest 04496 unto his people 05971 Israel 03478, according to all that he promised 01696 08765: there hath not failed 05307 08804 one 0259 word 01697 of all his good 02896 promise 01697, which he promised 01696 08765 by the hand 03027 of Moses 04872 his servant 05650.
57 The LORD 03068 our God 0430 be with us, as he was with our fathers 01: let him not leave 05800 08799 us, nor forsake 05203 08799 us:
58 That he may incline 05186 08687 our hearts 03824 unto him, to walk 03212 08800 in all his ways 01870, and to keep 08104 08800 his commandments 04687, and his statutes 02706, and his judgments 04941, which he commanded 06680 08765 our fathers 01.
59 And let these my words 01697, wherewith I have made supplication 02603 08694 before 06440 the LORD 03068, be nigh 07138 unto the LORD 03068 our God 0430 day 03119 and night 03915, that he maintain 06213 08800 the cause 04941 of his servant 05650, and the cause 04941 of his people 05971 Israel 03478 at all times 03117 03117, as the matter 01697 shall require:
60 That all the people 05971 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 08800 that the LORD 03068 [is] God 0430, [and that there is] none else.
61 Let your heart 03824 therefore be perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 our God 0430, to walk 03212 08800 in his statutes 02706, and to keep 08104 08800 his commandments 04687, as at this day 03117.
62 And the king 04428, and all Israel 03478 with him, offered 02076 08802 sacrifice 02077 before 06440 the LORD 03068.
63 And Solomon 08010 offered 02076 08799 a sacrifice 02077 of peace offerings 08002, which he offered 02076 08804 unto the LORD 03068, two 08147 and twenty 06242 thousand 0505 oxen 01241, and an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 thousand 0505 sheep 06629. So the king 04428 and all the children 01121 of Israel 03478 dedicated 02596 08799 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
64 The same day 03117 did the king 04428 hallow 06942 08765 the middle 08432 of the court 02691 that [was] before 06440 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: for there he offered 06213 08804 burnt offerings 05930, and meat offerings 04503, and the fat 02459 of the peace offerings 08002: because the brasen 05178 altar 04196 that [was] before 06440 the LORD 03068 [was] too little 06996 to receive 03557 08687 the burnt offerings 05930, and meat offerings 04503, and the fat 02459 of the peace offerings 08002.
65 And at that time 06256 Solomon 08010 held 06213 08799 a feast 02282, and all Israel 03478 with him, a great 01419 congregation 06951, from the entering 0935 08800 in of Hamath 02574 unto the river 05158 of Egypt 04714, before 06440 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, seven 07651 days 03117 and seven 07651 days 03117, [even] fourteen 0702 06240 days 03117.
66 On the eighth 08066 day 03117 he sent 07971 00 the people 05971 away 07971 08765: and they blessed 01288 08762 the king 04428, and went 03212 08799 unto their tents 0168 joyful 08056 and glad 02896 of heart 03820 for all the goodness 02896 that the LORD 03068 had done 06213 08804 for David 01732 his servant 05650, and for Israel 03478 his people 05971.

1 And it came to pass, when Solomon 08010 had finished 03615 08763 the building 01129 08800 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king's 04428 house 01004, and all Solomon's 08010 desire 02837 which he was pleased 02654 08804 to do 06213 08800,
2 That the LORD 03068 appeared 07200 08735 to Solomon 08010 the second time 08145, as he had appeared 07200 08738 unto him at Gibeon 01391.
3 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto him, I have heard 08085 08804 thy prayer 08605 and thy supplication 08467, that thou hast made 02603 08694 before 06440 me: I have hallowed 06942 08689 this house 01004, which thou hast built 01129 08804, to put 07760 08800 my name 08034 there for 05704 ever 05769; and mine eyes 05869 and mine heart 03820 shall be there perpetually 03117.
4 And if thou wilt walk 03212 08799 before 06440 me, as David 01732 thy father 01 walked 01980 08804, in integrity 08537 of heart 03824, and in uprightness 03476, to do 06213 08800 according to all that I have commanded 06680 08765 thee, [and] wilt keep 08104 08799 my statutes 02706 and my judgments 04941:
5 Then I will establish 06965 08689 the throne 03678 of thy kingdom 04467 upon Israel 03478 for ever 05769, as I promised 01696 08765 to David 01732 thy father 01, saying 0559 08800, There shall not fail 03772 08735 thee a man 0376 upon the throne 03678 of Israel 03478.
6 [But] if ye shall at all 07725 08800 turn 07725 08799 from following 0310 me, ye or your children 01121, and will not keep 08104 08799 my commandments 04687 [and] my statutes 02708 which I have set 05414 08804 before 06440 you, but go 01980 08804 and serve 05647 08804 other 0312 gods 0430, and worship 07812 08694 them:
7 Then will I cut off 03772 08689 Israel 03478 out 06440 of the land 0127 which I have given 05414 08804 them; and this house 01004, which I have hallowed 06942 08689 for my name 08034, will I cast out 07971 08762 of my sight 06440; and Israel 03478 shall be a proverb 04912 and a byword 08148 among all people 05971:
8 And at this house 01004, [which] is high 05945, every one that passeth 05674 08802 by it shall be astonished 08074 08799, and shall hiss 08319 08804; and they shall say 0559 08804, Why hath the LORD 03068 done 06213 08804 thus unto this land 0776, and to this house 01004?
9 And they shall answer 0559 08804, Because they forsook 05800 08804 the LORD 03068 their God 0430, who brought forth 03318 08689 their fathers 01 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and have taken hold 02388 08686 upon other 0312 gods 0430, and have worshipped 07812 08691 them, and served 05647 08799 them: therefore hath the LORD 03068 brought 0935 08689 upon them all this evil 07451.
10 And it came to pass at the end 07097 of twenty 06242 years 08141, when Solomon 08010 had built 01129 08804 the two 08147 houses 01004, the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king's 04428 house 01004,
11 ([Now] Hiram 02438 the king 04428 of Tyre 06865 had furnished 05375 08765 Solomon 08010 with cedar 0730 trees 06086 and fir 01265 trees 06086, and with gold 02091, according to all his desire 02656,) that then 0227 king 04428 Solomon 08010 gave 05414 08799 Hiram 02438 twenty 06242 cities 05892 in the land 0776 of Galilee 01551.
12 And Hiram 02438 came out 03318 08799 from Tyre 06865 to see 07200 08800 the cities 05892 which Solomon 08010 had given 05414 08804 him; and they pleased 03474 08804 05869 him not.
13 And he said 0559 08799, What cities 05892 [are] these which thou hast given 05414 08804 me, my brother 0251? And he called 07121 08799 them the land 0776 of Cabul 03521 unto this day 03117.
14 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 08799 to the king 04428 sixscore 03967 06242 talents 03603 of gold 02091.
15 And this [is] the reason 01697 of the levy 04522 which king 04428 Solomon 08010 raised 05927 08689; for to build 01129 08800 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and his own house 01004, and Millo 04407, and the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389, and Hazor 02674, and Megiddo 04023, and Gezer 01507.
16 [For] Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 had gone up 05927 08804, and taken 03920 08799 Gezer 01507, and burnt 08313 08799 it with fire 0784, and slain 02026 08804 the Canaanites 03669 that dwelt 03427 08802 in the city 05892, and given 05414 08799 it [for] a present 07964 unto his daughter 01323, Solomon's 08010 wife 0802.
17 And Solomon 08010 built 01129 08799 Gezer 01507, and Bethhoron 01032 the nether 08481,
18 And Baalath 01191, and Tadmor 08412 in the wilderness 04057, in the land 0776,
19 And all the cities 05892 of store 04543 that Solomon 08010 had, and cities 05892 for his chariots 07393, and cities 05892 for his horsemen 06571, and that 02837 which Solomon 08010 desired 02836 08804 to build 01129 08800 in Jerusalem 03389, and in Lebanon 03844, and in all the land 0776 of his dominion 04475.
20 [And] all the people 05971 [that were] left 03498 08737 of the Amorites 0567, Hittites 02850, Perizzites 06522, Hivites 02340, and Jebusites 02983, which [were] not of the children 01121 of Israel 03478,
21 Their children 01121 that were left 03498 08738 after 0310 them in the land 0776, whom the children 01121 of Israel 03478 also were not able 03201 08804 utterly to destroy 02763 08687, upon those did Solomon 08010 levy 05927 08686 a tribute 04522 of bondservice 05647 08802 unto this day 03117.
22 But of the children 01121 of Israel 03478 did Solomon 08010 make 05414 08804 no bondmen 05650: but they [were] men 0582 of war 04421, and his servants 05650, and his princes 08269, and his captains 07991, and rulers 08269 of his chariots 07393, and his horsemen 06571.
23 These [were] the chief 08269 of the officers 05324 08737 that [were] over Solomon's 08010 work 04399, five 02568 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572, which bare rule 07287 08802 over the people 05971 that wrought 06213 08804 in the work 04399.
24 But Pharaoh's 06547 daughter 01323 came up 05927 08804 out of the city 05892 of David 01732 unto her house 01004 which [Solomon] had built 01129 08804 for her: then did he build 01129 08804 Millo 04407.
25 And three 07969 times 06471 in a year 08141 did Solomon 08010 offer 05927 08689 burnt offerings 05930 and peace offerings 08002 upon the altar 04196 which he built 01129 08804 unto the LORD 03068, and he burnt incense 06999 08687 upon the altar 04196 that [was] before 06440 the LORD 03068. So he finished 07999 08765 the house 01004.
26 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 made 06213 08804 a navy of ships 0590 in Eziongeber 06100, which [is] beside Eloth 0359, on the shore 08193 of the Red 05488 sea 03220, in the land 0776 of Edom 0123.
27 And Hiram 02438 sent 07971 08799 in the navy 0590 his servants 05650, shipmen 0582 0591 that had knowledge 03045 08802 of the sea 03220, with the servants 05650 of Solomon 08010.
28 And they came 0935 08799 to Ophir 0211, and fetched 03947 08799 from thence gold 02091, four 0702 hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 talents 03603, and brought 0935 08686 [it] to king 04428 Solomon 08010.

1 And when the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 heard 08085 08802 of the fame 08088 of Solomon 08010 concerning the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, she came 0935 08799 to prove 05254 08763 him with hard questions 02420.
2 And she came 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389 with a very 03966 great 03515 train 02428, with camels 01581 that bare 05375 08802 spices 01314, and very 03966 much 07227 gold 02091, and precious 03368 stones 068: and when she was come 0935 08799 to Solomon 08010, she communed 01696 08762 with him of all that was in her heart 03824.
3 And Solomon 08010 told 05046 08686 her all her questions 01697: there was not [any] thing 01697 hid 05956 08737 from the king 04428, which he told 05046 08689 her not.
4 And when the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 had seen 07200 08799 all Solomon's 08010 wisdom 02451, and the house 01004 that he had built 01129 08804,
5 And the meat 03978 of his table 07979, and the sitting 04186 of his servants 05650, and the attendance 04612 of his ministers 08334 08764, and their apparel 04403, and his cupbearers 08248 08688, and his ascent 05930 by which he went up 05927 08799 unto the house 01004 of the LORD 03068; there was no more spirit 07307 in her.
6 And she said 0559 08799 to the king 04428, It was a true 0571 report 01697 that I heard 08085 08804 in mine own land 0776 of thy acts 01697 and of thy wisdom 02451.
7 Howbeit I believed 0539 08689 not the words 01697, until I came 0935 08804, and mine eyes 05869 had seen 07200 08799 [it]: and, behold, the half 02677 was not told 05046 08717 me: thy wisdom 02451 and prosperity 02896 exceedeth 03254 08689 the fame 08052 which I heard 08085 08804.
8 Happy 0835 [are] thy men 0582, happy 0835 [are] these thy servants 05650, which stand 05975 08802 continually 08548 before 06440 thee, [and] that hear 08085 08802 thy wisdom 02451.
9 Blessed 01288 08803 be the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, which delighted 02654 08804 in thee, to set 05414 08800 thee on the throne 03678 of Israel 03478: because the LORD 03068 loved 0160 Israel 03478 for ever 05769, therefore made 07760 08799 he thee king 04428, to do 06213 08800 judgment 04941 and justice 06666.
10 And she gave 05414 08799 the king 04428 an hundred 03967 and twenty 06242 talents 03603 of gold 02091, and of spices 01314 very 03966 great store 07235 08687, and precious 03368 stones 068: there came 0935 08804 no more such 01931 abundance 07230 of spices 01314 as these which the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 gave 05414 08804 to king 04428 Solomon 08010.
11 And the navy 0590 also of Hiram 02438, that brought 05375 08804 gold 02091 from Ophir 0211, brought in 0935 08689 from Ophir 0211 great 03966 plenty 07235 08687 of almug 0484 trees 06086, and precious 03368 stones 068.
12 And the king 04428 made 06213 08799 of the almug 0484 trees 06086 pillars 04552 for the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and for the king's 04428 house 01004, harps 03658 also and psalteries 05035 for singers 07891 08802: there came 0935 08804 no such almug 0484 trees 06086, nor were seen 07200 08738 unto this day 03117.
13 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 gave 05414 08804 unto the queen 04436 of Sheba 07614 all her desire 02656, whatsoever she asked 07592 08804, beside [that] which Solomon 08010 gave 05414 08804 her of his royal 04428 bounty 03027. So she turned 06437 08799 and went 03212 08799 to her own country 0776, she and her servants 05650.
14 Now the weight 04948 of gold 02091 that came 0935 08804 to Solomon 08010 in one 0259 year 08141 was six 08337 hundred 03967 threescore 08346 and six 08337 talents 03603 of gold 02091,
15 Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen 0582 08446 08802, and of the traffick 04536 of the spice merchants 07402 08802, and of all the kings 04428 of Arabia 06153, and of the governors 06346 of the country 0776.
16 And king 04428 Solomon 08010 made 06213 08799 two hundred 03967 targets 06793 [of] beaten 07820 08803 gold 02091: six 08337 hundred 03967 [shekels] of gold 02091 went 05927 08686 to one 0259 target 06793.
17 And [he made] three 07969 hundred 03967 shields 04043 [of] beaten 07820 08803 gold 02091; three 07969 pound 04488 of gold 02091 went 05927 08686 to one 0259 shield 04043: and the king 04428 put 05414 08799 them in the house 01004 of the forest 03293 of Lebanon 03844.
18 Moreover the king 04428 made 06213 08799 a great 01419 throne 03678 of ivory 08127, and overlaid 06823 08762 it with the best 06338 08716 gold 02091.
19 The throne 03678 had six 08337 steps 04609, and the top 07218 of the throne 03678 [was] round 05696 behind 0310: and [there were] stays 03027 on either side on the place 04725 of the seat 07675 08800, and two 08147 lions 0738 stood 05975 08802 beside 0681 the stays 03027.
20 And twelve 08147 06240 lions 0738 stood 05975 08802 there on the one side and on the other upon the six 08337 steps 04609: there was not the like 03651 made 06213 08738 in any kingdom 04467.
21 And all king 04428 Solomon's 08010 drinking 04945 vessels 03627 [were of] gold 02091, and all the vessels 03627 of the house 01004 of the forest 03293 of Lebanon 03844 [were of] pure 05462 08803 gold 02091; none [were of] silver 03701: it was nothing 03972 accounted 02803 08737 of in the days 03117 of Solomon 08010.
22 For the king 04428 had at sea 03220 a navy 0590 of Tharshish 08659 with the navy 0590 of Hiram 02438: once 0259 in three 07969 years 08141 came 0935 08799 the navy 0590 of Tharshish 08659, bringing 05375 08802 gold 02091, and silver 03701, ivory 08143, and apes 06971, and peacocks 08500.
23 So king 04428 Solomon 08010 exceeded 01431 08799 all the kings 04428 of the earth 0776 for riches 06239 and for wisdom 02451.
24 And all the earth 0776 sought 01245 08764 to 06440 Solomon 08010, to hear 08085 08800 his wisdom 02451, which God 0430 had put 05414 08804 in his heart 03820.
25 And they brought 0935 08688 every man 0376 his present 04503, vessels 03627 of silver 03701, and vessels 03627 of gold 02091, and garments 08008, and armour 05402, and spices 01314, horses 05483, and mules 06505, a rate 01697 year 08141 by year 08141.
26 And Solomon 08010 gathered together 0622 08799 chariots 07393 and horsemen 06571: and he had a thousand 0505 and four 0702 hundred 03967 chariots 07393, and twelve 08147 06240 thousand 0505 horsemen 06571, whom he bestowed 05148 08686 in the cities 05892 for chariots 07393, and with the king 04428 at Jerusalem 03389.
27 And the king 04428 made 05414 08799 silver 03701 [to be] in Jerusalem 03389 as stones 068, and cedars 0730 made 05414 08804 he [to be] as the sycomore trees 08256 that [are] in the vale 08219, for abundance 07230.
28 And Solomon 08010 had horses 05483 brought 04161 out of Egypt 04714, and linen yarn 04723: the king's 04428 merchants 05503 08802 received 03947 08799 the linen yarn 04723 at a price 04242.
29 And a chariot 04818 came up 05927 08799 and went out 03318 08799 of Egypt 04714 for six 08337 hundred 03967 [shekels] of silver 03701, and an horse 05483 for an hundred 03967 and fifty 02572: and so for all the kings 04428 of the Hittites 02850, and for the kings 04428 of Syria 0758, did they bring [them] out 03318 08686 by their means 03027.

#### 1Ki 11

1 But king 04428 Solomon 08010 loved 0157 08804 many 07227 strange 05237 women 0802, together with the daughter 01323 of Pharaoh 06547, women of the Moabites 04125, Ammonites 05984, Edomites 0130, Zidonians 06722, [and] Hittites 02850;
2 Of the nations 01471 [concerning] which the LORD 03068 said 0559 08804 unto the children 01121 of Israel 03478, Ye shall not go in 0935 08799 to them, neither shall they come in 0935 08799 unto you: [for] surely 0403 they will turn away 05186 08686 your heart 03824 after 0310 their gods 0430: Solomon 08010 clave 01692 08804 unto these in love 0157 08800.
3 And he had seven 07651 hundred 03967 wives 0802, princesses 08282, and three 07969 hundred 03967 concubines 06370: and his wives 0802 turned away 05186 08686 his heart 03820.
4 For it came to pass, when 06256 Solomon 08010 was old 02209, [that] his wives 0802 turned away 05186 08689 his heart 03824 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430: and his heart 03824 was not perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 his God 0430, as [was] the heart 03824 of David 01732 his father 01.
5 For Solomon 08010 went 03212 08799 after 0310 Ashtoreth 06253 the goddess 0430 of the Zidonians 06722, and after 0310 Milcom 04445 the abomination 08251 of the Ammonites 05984.
6 And Solomon 08010 did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and went not fully 04390 08765 after 0310 the LORD 03068, as [did] David 01732 his father 01.
7 Then did Solomon 08010 build 01129 08799 an high place 01116 for Chemosh 03645, the abomination 08251 of Moab 04124, in the hill 02022 that [is] before 06440 Jerusalem 03389, and for Molech 04432, the abomination 08251 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983.
8 And likewise did 06213 08804 he for all his strange 05237 wives 0802, which burnt incense 06999 08688 and sacrificed 02076 08764 unto their gods 0430.
9 And the LORD 03068 was angry 0599 08691 with Solomon 08010, because his heart 03824 was turned 05186 08804 from the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, which had appeared 07200 08738 unto him twice 06471,
10 And had commanded 06680 08765 him concerning this thing 01697, that he should not go 03212 08800 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430: but he kept 08104 08804 not that which the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 08765.
11 Wherefore the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto Solomon 08010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept 08104 08804 my covenant 01285 and my statutes 02708, which I have commanded 06680 08765 thee, I will surely 07167 08800 rend 07167 08799 the kingdom 04467 from thee, and will give 05414 08804 it to thy servant 05650.
12 Notwithstanding in thy days 03117 I will not do 06213 08799 it for David 01732 thy father's 01 sake: [but] I will rend 07167 08799 it out of the hand 03027 of thy son 01121.
13 Howbeit 07535 I will not rend away 07167 08799 all the kingdom 04467; [but] will give 05414 08799 one 0259 tribe 07626 to thy son 01121 for David 01732 my servant's 05650 sake, and for Jerusalem's 03389 sake which I have chosen 0977 08804.
14 And the LORD 03068 stirred up 06965 08686 an adversary 07854 unto Solomon 08010, Hadad 01908 the Edomite 0130: he [was] of the king's 04428 seed 02233 in Edom 0123.
15 For it came to pass, when David 01732 was in Edom 0123, and Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635 was gone up 05927 08800 to bury 06912 08763 the slain 02491, after he had smitten 05221 08686 every male 02145 in Edom 0123;
16 (For six 08337 months 02320 did Joab 03097 remain 03427 08804 there with all Israel 03478, until he had cut off 03772 08689 every male 02145 in Edom 0123:)
17 That Hadad 0111 fled 01272 08799, he and certain 0582 Edomites 0130 of his father's 01 servants 05650 with him, to go 0935 08800 into Egypt 04714; Hadad 01908 [being] yet a little 06996 child 05288.
18 And they arose 06965 08799 out of Midian 04080, and came 0935 08799 to Paran 06290: and they took 03947 08799 men 0582 with them out of Paran 06290, and they came 0935 08799 to Egypt 04714, unto Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714; which gave 05414 08799 him an house 01004, and appointed 0559 08804 him victuals 03899, and gave 05414 08804 him land 0776.
19 And Hadad 01908 found 04672 08799 great 03966 favour 02580 in the sight 05869 of Pharaoh 06547, so that he gave 05414 08799 him to wife 0802 the sister 0269 of his own wife 0802, the sister 0269 of Tahpenes 08472 the queen 01377.
20 And the sister 0269 of Tahpenes 08472 bare 03205 08799 him Genubath 01592 his son 01121, whom Tahpenes 08472 weaned 01580 08799 in 08432 Pharaoh's 06547 house 01004: and Genubath 01592 was in Pharaoh's 06547 household 01004 among 08432 the sons 01121 of Pharaoh 06547.
21 And when Hadad 01908 heard 08085 08804 in Egypt 04714 that David 01732 slept 07901 08804 with his fathers 01, and that Joab 03097 the captain 08269 of the host 06635 was dead 04191 08804, Hadad 01908 said 0559 08799 to Pharaoh 06547, Let me depart 07971 08761, that I may go 03212 08799 to mine own country 0776.
22 Then Pharaoh 06547 said 0559 08799 unto him, But what hast thou lacked 02638 with me, that, behold, thou seekest 01245 08764 to go 03212 08800 to thine own country 0776? And he answered 0559 08799, Nothing: howbeit let me go 07971 08762 in any wise 07971 08763.
23 And God 0430 stirred him up 06965 08686 [another] adversary 07854, Rezon 07331 the son 01121 of Eliadah 0450, which fled 01272 08804 from his lord 0113 Hadadezer 01909 king 04428 of Zobah 06678:
24 And he gathered 06908 08799 men 0582 unto him, and became captain 08269 over a band 01416, when David 01732 slew 02026 08800 them [of Zobah]: and they went 03212 08799 to Damascus 01834, and dwelt 03427 08799 therein, and reigned 04427 08799 in Damascus 01834.
25 And he was an adversary 07854 to Israel 03478 all the days 03117 of Solomon 08010, beside the mischief 07451 that Hadad 01908 [did]: and he abhorred 06973 08799 Israel 03478, and reigned 04427 08799 over Syria 0758.
26 And Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, an Ephrathite 0673 of Zereda 06868, Solomon's 08010 servant 05650, whose mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Zeruah 06871, a widow 0490 woman 0802, even he lifted up 07311 08686 [his] hand 03027 against the king 04428.
27 And this [was] the cause 01697 that he lifted up 07311 08689 [his] hand 03027 against the king 04428: Solomon 08010 built 01129 08804 Millo 04407, [and] repaired 05462 08804 the breaches 06556 of the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01.
28 And the man 0376 Jeroboam 03379 [was] a mighty man 01368 of valour 02428: and Solomon 08010 seeing 07200 08799 the young man 05288 that he was industrious 06213 08802 04399, he made him ruler 06485 08686 over all the charge 05447 of the house 01004 of Joseph 03130.
29 And it came to pass at that time 06256 when Jeroboam 03379 went out 03318 08804 of Jerusalem 03389, that the prophet 05030 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888 found 04672 08799 him in the way 01870; and he had clad 03680 08693 himself with a new 02319 garment 08008; and they two 08147 [were] alone in the field 07704:
30 And Ahijah 0281 caught 08610 08799 the new 02319 garment 08008 that [was] on him, and rent 07167 08799 it [in] twelve 08147 06240 pieces 07168:
31 And he said 0559 08799 to Jeroboam 03379, Take 03947 08798 thee ten 06235 pieces 07168: for thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, Behold, I will rend 07167 08802 the kingdom 04467 out of the hand 03027 of Solomon 08010, and will give 05414 08804 ten 06235 tribes 07626 to thee:
32 (But he shall have one 0259 tribe 07626 for my servant 05650 David's 01732 sake, and for Jerusalem's 03389 sake, the city 05892 which I have chosen 0977 08804 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478:)
33 Because that they have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and have worshipped 07812 08691 Ashtoreth 06253 the goddess 0430 of the Zidonians 06722, Chemosh 03645 the god 0430 of the Moabites 04124, and Milcom 04445 the god 0430 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, and have not walked 01980 08804 in my ways 01870, to do 06213 08800 [that which is] right 03477 in mine eyes 05869, and [to keep] my statutes 02708 and my judgments 04941, as [did] David 01732 his father 01.
34 Howbeit I will not take 03947 08799 the whole kingdom 04467 out of his hand 03027: but I will make 07896 08799 him prince 05387 all the days 03117 of his life 02416 for David 01732 my servant's 05650 sake, whom I chose 0977 08804, because he kept 08104 08804 my commandments 04687 and my statutes 02708:
35 But I will take 03947 08804 the kingdom 04410 out of his son's 01121 hand 03027, and will give 05414 08804 it unto thee, [even] ten 06235 tribes 07626.
36 And unto his son 01121 will I give 05414 08799 one 0259 tribe 07626, that David 01732 my servant 05650 may have a light 05216 alway 03117 before 06440 me in Jerusalem 03389, the city 05892 which I have chosen 0977 08804 me to put 07760 08800 my name 08034 there.
37 And I will take 03947 08799 thee, and thou shalt reign 04427 08804 according to all that thy soul 05315 desireth 0183 08762, and shalt be king 04428 over Israel 03478.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken 08085 08799 unto all that I command 06680 08762 thee, and wilt walk 01980 08804 in my ways 01870, and do 06213 08804 [that is] right 03477 in my sight 05869, to keep 08104 08800 my statutes 02708 and my commandments 04687, as David 01732 my servant 05650 did 06213 08804; that I will be with thee, and build 01129 08804 thee a sure 0539 08737 house 01004, as I built 01129 08804 for David 01732, and will give 05414 08804 Israel 03478 unto thee.
39 And I will for this afflict 06031 08762 the seed 02233 of David 01732, but not for ever 03117.
40 Solomon 08010 sought 01245 08762 therefore to kill 04191 08687 Jeroboam 03379. And Jeroboam 03379 arose 06965 08799, and fled 01272 08799 into Egypt 04714, unto Shishak 07895 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and was in Egypt 04714 until the death 04194 of Solomon 08010.
41 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Solomon 08010, and all that he did 06213 08804, and his wisdom 02451, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the acts 01697 of Solomon 08010?
42 And the time 03117 that Solomon 08010 reigned 04427 08804 in Jerusalem 03389 over all Israel 03478 [was] forty 0705 years 08141.
43 And Solomon 08010 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Rehoboam 07346 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.

#### 1Ki 12

1 And Rehoboam 07346 went 03212 08799 to Shechem 07927: for all Israel 03478 were come 0935 08804 to Shechem 07927 to make him king 04427 08687.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who was yet in Egypt 04714, heard 08085 08800 [of it], (for he was fled 01272 08804 from the presence 06440 of king 04428 Solomon 08010, and Jeroboam 03379 dwelt 03427 08799 in Egypt 04714;)
3 That they sent 07971 08799 and called 07121 08799 him. And Jeroboam 03379 and all the congregation 06951 of Israel 03478 came 0935 08799, and spake 01696 08762 unto Rehoboam 07346, saying 0559 08800,
4 Thy father 01 made 07185 00 our yoke 05923 grievous 07185 08689: now therefore make thou the grievous 07186 service 05656 of thy father 01, and his heavy 03515 yoke 05923 which he put 05414 08804 upon us, lighter 07043 08685, and we will serve 05647 08799 thee.
5 And he said 0559 08799 unto them, Depart 03212 08798 yet [for] three 07969 days 03117, then come again 07725 08798 to me. And the people 05971 departed 03212 08799.
6 And king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 consulted 03289 08735 with the old men 02205, that stood 05975 08802 before 06440 Solomon 08010 his father 01 while he yet lived 02416, and said 0559 08800, How do ye advise 03289 08737 that I may 07725 08687 answer 01697 this people 05971?
7 And they spake 01696 08762 unto him, saying 0559 08800, If thou wilt be a servant 05650 unto this people 05971 this day 03117, and wilt serve 05647 08804 them, and answer 06030 08804 them, and speak 01696 08765 good 02896 words 01697 to them, then they will be thy servants 05650 for ever 03117.
8 But he forsook 05800 08799 the counsel 06098 of the old men 02205, which they had given 03289 08804 him, and consulted 03289 08735 with the young men 03206 that were grown up 01431 08804 with him, [and] which stood 05975 08802 before 06440 him:
9 And he said 0559 08799 unto them, What counsel give 03289 08737 ye that we may 07725 08686 answer 01697 this people 05971, who have spoken 01696 08765 to me, saying 0559 08800, Make 07043 00 the yoke 05923 which thy father 01 did put 05414 08804 upon us lighter 07043 08685?
10 And the young men 03206 that were grown up 01431 08804 with him spake 01696 08762 unto him, saying 0559 08800, Thus shalt thou speak 0559 08799 unto this people 05971 that spake 01696 08765 unto thee, saying 0559 08800, Thy father 01 made 03513 00 our yoke 05923 heavy 03513 08689, but make thou [it] lighter 07043 08685 unto us; thus shalt thou say 01696 08762 unto them, My little 06995 [finger] shall be thicker 05666 08804 than my father's 01 loins 04975.
11 And now whereas my father 01 did lade 06006 08689 you with a heavy 03515 yoke 05923, I will add 03254 08686 to your yoke 05923: my father 01 hath chastised 03256 08765 you with whips 07752, but I will chastise 03256 08762 you with scorpions 06137.
12 So Jeroboam 03379 and all the people 05971 came 0935 08799 to Rehoboam 07346 the third 07992 day 03117, as the king 04428 had appointed 01696 08765, saying 0559 08800, Come to me again 07725 08798 the third 07992 day 03117.
13 And the king 04428 answered 06030 08799 the people 05971 roughly 07186, and forsook 05800 08799 the old men's 02205 counsel 06098 that they gave 03289 08804 him;
14 And spake 01696 08762 to them after the counsel 06098 of the young men 03206, saying 0559 08800, My father 01 made 03513 00 your yoke 05923 heavy 03513 08689, and I will add 03254 08686 to your yoke 05923: my father 01 [also] chastised 03256 08765 you with whips 07752, but I will chastise 03256 08762 you with scorpions 06137.
15 Wherefore the king 04428 hearkened 08085 08804 not unto the people 05971; for the cause 05438 was from the LORD 03068, that he might perform 06965 08687 his saying 01697, which the LORD 03068 spake 01696 08765 by 03027 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888 unto Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028.
16 So 07725 08686 when all Israel 03478 saw 07200 08799 that the king 04428 hearkened 08085 08804 not unto them, the people 05971 answered 01697 the king 04428, saying 0559 08800, What portion 02506 have we in David 01732? neither [have we] inheritance 05159 in the son 01121 of Jesse 03448: to your tents 0168, O Israel 03478: now see 07200 08798 to thine own house 01004, David 01732. So Israel 03478 departed 03212 08799 unto their tents 0168.
17 But [as for] the children 01121 of Israel 03478 which dwelt 03427 08802 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, Rehoboam 07346 reigned 04427 08799 over them.
18 Then king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 sent 07971 08799 Adoram 0151, who [was] over the tribute 04522; and all Israel 03478 stoned 07275 08799 him with stones 068, that he died 04191 08799. Therefore king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 made speed 0553 08694 to get him up 05927 08800 to his chariot 04818, to flee 05127 08800 to Jerusalem 03389.
19 So Israel 03478 rebelled 06586 08799 against the house 01004 of David 01732 unto this day 03117.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel 03478 heard 08085 08800 that Jeroboam 03379 was come again 07725 08804, that they sent 07971 08799 and called 07121 08799 him unto the congregation 05712, and made him king 04427 08686 over all Israel 03478: there was none that followed 0310 the house 01004 of David 01732, but 02108 the tribe 07626 of Judah 03063 only.
21 And when Rehoboam 07346 was come 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389, he assembled 06950 08686 all the house 01004 of Judah 03063, with the tribe 07626 of Benjamin 01144, an hundred 03967 and fourscore 08084 thousand 0505 chosen men 0977 08803, which were warriors 06213 08802 04421, to fight 03898 08736 against the house 01004 of Israel 03478, to bring 07725 00 the kingdom 04410 again 07725 08687 to Rehoboam 07346 the son 01121 of Solomon 08010.
22 But the word 01697 of God 0430 came unto Shemaiah 08098 the man 0376 of God 0430, saying 0559 08800,
23 Speak 0559 08798 unto Rehoboam 07346, the son 01121 of Solomon 08010, king 04428 of Judah 03063, and unto all the house 01004 of Judah 03063 and Benjamin 01144, and to the remnant 03499 of the people 05971, saying 0559 08800,
24 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Ye shall not go up 05927 08799, nor fight 03898 08735 against your brethren 0251 the children 01121 of Israel 03478: return 07725 08798 every man 0376 to his house 01004; for this thing 01697 is 01961 08738 from me. They hearkened 08085 08799 therefore to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and returned 07725 08799 to depart 03212 08800, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
25 Then Jeroboam 03379 built 01129 08799 Shechem 07927 in mount 02022 Ephraim 0669, and dwelt 03427 08799 therein; and went out 03318 08799 from thence, and built 01129 08799 Penuel 06439.
26 And Jeroboam 03379 said 0559 08799 in his heart 03820, Now shall the kingdom 04467 return 07725 08799 to the house 01004 of David 01732:
27 If this people 05971 go up 05927 08799 to do 06213 08800 sacrifice 02077 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068 at Jerusalem 03389, then shall the heart 03820 of this people 05971 turn again 07725 08804 unto their lord 0113, [even] unto Rehoboam 07346 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and they shall kill 02026 08804 me, and go again 07725 08804 to Rehoboam 07346 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
28 Whereupon the king 04428 took counsel 03289 08735, and made 06213 08799 two 08147 calves 05695 [of] gold 02091, and said 0559 08799 unto them, It is too much 07227 for you to go up 05927 08800 to Jerusalem 03389: behold thy gods 0430, O Israel 03478, which brought thee up 05927 08689 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
29 And he set 07760 08799 the one 0259 in Bethel 01008, and the other 0259 put 05414 08804 he in Dan 01835.
30 And this thing 01697 became a sin 02403: for the people 05971 went 03212 08799 [to worship] before 06440 the one 0259, [even] unto Dan 01835.
31 And he made 06213 08799 an house 01004 of high places 01116, and made 06213 08799 priests 03548 of the lowest 07098 of the people 05971, which were not of the sons 01121 of Levi 03878.
32 And Jeroboam 03379 ordained 06213 08799 a feast 02282 in the eighth 08066 month 02320, on the fifteenth 02568 06240 day 03117 of the month 02320, like unto the feast 02282 that [is] in Judah 03063, and he offered 05927 08686 upon the altar 04196. So did 06213 08804 he in Bethel 01008, sacrificing 02076 08763 unto the calves 05695 that he had made 06213 08804: and he placed 05975 08689 in Bethel 01008 the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 which he had made 06213 08804.
33 So he offered 05927 08686 upon the altar 04196 which he had made 06213 08804 in Bethel 01008 the fifteenth 02568 06240 day 03117 of the eighth 08066 month 02320, [even] in the month 02320 which he had devised 0908 08804 of his own heart 03820; and ordained 06213 08799 a feast 02282 unto the children 01121 of Israel 03478: and he offered 05927 08686 upon the altar 04196, and burnt incense 06999 08687.

#### 1Ki 13

1 And, behold, there came 0935 08804 a man 0376 of God 0430 out of Judah 03063 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto Bethel 01008: and Jeroboam 03379 stood 05975 08802 by the altar 04196 to burn incense 06999 08687.
2 And he cried 07121 08799 against the altar 04196 in the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, O altar 04196, altar 04196, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, a child 01121 shall be born 03205 08737 unto the house 01004 of David 01732, Josiah 02977 by name 08034; and upon thee shall he offer 02076 08804 the priests 03548 of the high places 01116 that burn incense 06999 08688 upon thee, and men's 0120 bones 06106 shall be burnt 08313 08799 upon thee.
3 And he gave 05414 08804 a sign 04159 the same day 03117, saying 0559 08800, This [is] the sign 04159 which the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765; Behold, the altar 04196 shall be rent 07167 08738, and the ashes 01880 that [are] upon it shall be poured out 08210 08738.
4 And it came to pass, when king 04428 Jeroboam 03379 heard 08085 08800 the saying 01697 of the man 0376 of God 0430, which had cried 07121 08804 against the altar 04196 in Bethel 01008, that he put forth 07971 08799 his hand 03027 from the altar 04196, saying 0559 08800, Lay hold 08610 08798 on him. And his hand 03027, which he put forth 07971 08804 against him, dried up 03001 08799, so that he could 03201 08804 not pull it in again 07725 08687 to him.
5 The altar 04196 also was rent 07167 08738, and the ashes 01880 poured out 08210 08735 from the altar 04196, according to the sign 04159 which the man 0376 of God 0430 had given 05414 08804 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
6 And the king 04428 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799 unto the man 0376 of God 0430, Intreat 02470 08761 now the face 06440 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and pray 06419 08690 for me, that my hand 03027 may be restored me again 07725 08799. And the man 0376 of God 0430 besought 02470 08762 06440 the LORD 03068, and the king's 04428 hand 03027 was restored him again 07725 08799, and became as [it was] before 07223.
7 And the king 04428 said 01696 08762 unto the man 0376 of God 0430, Come 0935 08798 home 01004 with me, and refresh 05582 08798 thyself, and I will give 05414 08799 thee a reward 04991.
8 And the man 0376 of God 0430 said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, If thou wilt give 05414 08799 me half 02677 thine house 01004, I will not go in 0935 08799 with thee, neither will I eat 0398 08799 bread 03899 nor drink 08354 08799 water 04325 in this place 04725:
9 For so was it charged 06680 08765 me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, Eat 0398 08799 no bread 03899, nor drink 08354 08799 water 04325, nor turn again 07725 08799 by the same way 01870 that thou camest 01980 08804.
10 So he went 03212 08799 another 0312 way 01870, and returned 07725 08804 not by the way 01870 that he came 0935 08804 to Bethel 01008.
11 Now there dwelt 03427 08802 an 0259 old 02205 prophet 05030 in Bethel 01008; and his sons 01121 came 0935 08799 and told 05608 08762 him all the works 04639 that the man 0376 of God 0430 had done 06213 08804 that day 03117 in Bethel 01008: the words 01697 which he had spoken 01696 08765 unto the king 04428, them they told 05608 08762 also to their father 01.
12 And their father 01 said 01696 08762 unto them, What way 01870 went 01980 08804 he? For his sons 01121 had seen 07200 08799 what 0335 way 01870 the man 0376 of God 0430 went 01980 08804, which came 0935 08804 from Judah 03063.
13 And he said 0559 08799 unto his sons 01121, Saddle 02280 08798 me the ass 02543. So they saddled 02280 08799 him the ass 02543: and he rode 07392 08799 thereon,
14 And went 03212 08799 after 0310 the man 0376 of God 0430, and found 04672 08799 him sitting 03427 08802 under an oak 0424: and he said 0559 08799 unto him, [Art] thou the man 0376 of God 0430 that camest 0935 08804 from Judah 03063? And he said 0559 08799, I [am].
15 Then he said 0559 08799 unto him, Come 03212 08798 home 01004 with me, and eat 0398 08798 bread 03899.
16 And he said 0559 08799, I may 03201 08799 not return 07725 08800 with thee, nor go in 0935 08800 with thee: neither will I eat 0398 08799 bread 03899 nor drink 08354 08799 water 04325 with thee in this place 04725:
17 For it was said 01697 to me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, Thou shalt eat 0398 08799 no bread 03899 nor drink 08354 08799 water 04325 there, nor turn again 07725 08799 to go 03212 08800 by the way 01870 that thou camest 01980 08804.
18 He said 0559 08799 unto him, I [am] a prophet 05030 also as thou [art]; and an angel 04397 spake 01696 08765 unto me by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, Bring him back 07725 08685 with thee into thine house 01004, that he may eat 0398 08799 bread 03899 and drink 08354 08799 water 04325. [But] he lied 03584 08765 unto him.
19 So he went back 07725 08799 with him, and did eat 0398 08799 bread 03899 in his house 01004, and drank 08354 08799 water 04325.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat 03427 08802 at the table 07979, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto the prophet 05030 that brought him back 07725 08689:
21 And he cried 07121 08799 unto the man 0376 of God 0430 that came 0935 08804 from Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Forasmuch as 03282 thou hast disobeyed 04784 08804 the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068, and hast not kept 08104 08804 the commandment 04687 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 commanded 06680 08765 thee,
22 But camest back 07725 08799, and hast eaten 0398 08799 bread 03899 and drunk 08354 08799 water 04325 in the place 04725, of the which [the LORD] did say 01696 08765 to thee, Eat 0398 08799 no bread 03899, and drink 08354 08799 no water 04325; thy carcase 05038 shall not come 0935 08799 unto the sepulchre 06913 of thy fathers 01.
23 And it came to pass, after 0310 he had eaten 0398 08800 bread 03899, and after 0310 he had drunk 08354 08800, that he saddled 02280 08799 for him the ass 02543, [to wit], for the prophet 05030 whom he had brought back 07725 08689.
24 And when he was gone 03212 08799, a lion 0738 met 04672 08799 him by the way 01870, and slew 04191 08686 him: and his carcase 05038 was cast 07993 08716 in the way 01870, and the ass 02543 stood 05975 08802 by 0681 it, the lion 0738 also stood 05975 08802 by the carcase 05038.
25 And, behold, men 0582 passed by 05674 08802, and saw 07200 08799 the carcase 05038 cast 07993 08716 in the way 01870, and the lion 0738 standing 05975 08802 by 0681 the carcase 05038: and they came 0935 08799 and told 01696 08762 [it] in the city 05892 where the old 02205 prophet 05030 dwelt 03427 08802.
26 And when the prophet 05030 that brought him back 07725 08689 from the way 01870 heard 08085 08799 [thereof], he said 0559 08799, It [is] the man 0376 of God 0430, who was disobedient 04784 08804 unto the word 06310 of the LORD 03068: therefore the LORD 03068 hath delivered 05414 08799 him unto the lion 0738, which hath torn 07665 08799 him, and slain 04191 08686 him, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 unto him.
27 And he spake 01696 08762 to his sons 01121, saying 0559 08800, Saddle 02280 08798 me the ass 02543. And they saddled 02280 08799 [him].
28 And he went 03212 08799 and found 04672 08799 his carcase 05038 cast 07993 08716 in the way 01870, and the ass 02543 and the lion 0738 standing 05975 08802 by 0681 the carcase 05038: the lion 0738 had not eaten 0398 08804 the carcase 05038, nor torn 07665 08804 the ass 02543.
29 And the prophet 05030 took up 05375 08799 the carcase 05038 of the man 0376 of God 0430, and laid 03240 08686 it upon the ass 02543, and brought it back 07725 08686: and the old 02205 prophet 05030 came 0935 08799 to the city 05892, to mourn 05594 08800 and to bury 06912 08800 him.
30 And he laid 03240 08686 his carcase 05038 in his own grave 06913; and they mourned 05594 08799 over him, [saying], Alas 01945, my brother 0251!
31 And it came to pass, after 0310 he had buried 06912 08800 him, that he spake 0559 08799 to his sons 01121, saying 0559 08800, When I am dead 04191 08800, then bury 06912 08804 me in the sepulchre 06913 wherein the man 0376 of God 0430 [is] buried 06912 08803; lay 03240 08685 my bones 06106 beside 0681 his bones 06106:
32 For the saying 01697 which he cried 07121 08804 by the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 against the altar 04196 in Bethel 01008, and against all the houses 01004 of the high places 01116 which [are] in the cities 05892 of Samaria 08111, shall surely come to pass.
33 After 0310 this thing 01697 Jeroboam 03379 returned 07725 08804 not from his evil 07451 way 01870, but made 06213 08799 again 07725 08799 of the lowest 07098 of the people 05971 priests 03548 of the high places 01116: whosoever would 02655, he consecrated 04390 08762 03027 him, and he became [one] of the priests 03548 of the high places 01116.
34 And this thing 01697 became sin 02403 unto the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, even to cut [it] off 03582 08687, and to destroy 08045 08687 [it] from off the face 06440 of the earth 0127.

#### 1Ki 14

1 At that time 06256 Abijah 029 the son 01121 of Jeroboam 03379 fell sick 02470 08804.
2 And Jeroboam 03379 said 0559 08799 to his wife 0802, Arise 06965 08798, I pray thee, and disguise 08138 08690 thyself, that thou be not known 03045 08799 to be the wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379; and get 01980 08804 thee to Shiloh 07887: behold, there [is] Ahijah 0281 the prophet 05030, which told 01696 08765 me that [I should be] king 04428 over this people 05971.
3 And take 03947 08804 with thee 03027 ten 06235 loaves 03899, and cracknels 05350, and a cruse 01228 of honey 01706, and go 0935 08804 to him: he shall tell 05046 08686 thee what shall become of the child 05288.
4 And Jeroboam's 03379 wife 0802 did so 06213 08799, and arose 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799 to Shiloh 07887, and came 0935 08799 to the house 01004 of Ahijah 0281. But Ahijah 0281 could 03201 08804 not see 07200 08800; for his eyes 05869 were set 06965 08804 by reason of his age 07869.
5 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08804 unto Ahijah 0281, Behold, the wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379 cometh 0935 08802 to ask 01875 08800 a thing 01697 of thee for her son 01121; for he [is] sick 02470 08802: thus 02090 and thus shalt thou say 01696 08762 unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in 0935 08800, that she shall feign herself [to be] another 05234 08693 [woman].
6 And it was [so], when Ahijah 0281 heard 08085 08800 the sound 06963 of her feet 07272, as she came in 0935 08802 at the door 06607, that he said 0559 08799, Come in 0935 08798, thou wife 0802 of Jeroboam 03379; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another 05234 08693? for I [am] sent 07971 08803 to thee [with] heavy 07186 [tidings].
7 Go 03212 08798, tell 0559 08798 Jeroboam 03379, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Forasmuch as 03282 I exalted 07311 08689 thee from among 08432 the people 05971, and made 05414 08799 thee prince 05057 over my people 05971 Israel 03478,
8 And rent 07167 00 the kingdom 04467 away 07167 08799 from the house 01004 of David 01732, and gave 05414 08799 it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant 05650 David 01732, who kept 08104 08804 my commandments 04687, and who followed 01980 08804 0310 me with all his heart 03824, to do 06213 08800 [that] only [which was] right 03477 in mine eyes 05869;
9 But hast done 06213 08800 evil 07489 08686 above all that were before 06440 thee: for thou hast gone 03212 08799 and made 06213 08799 thee other 0312 gods 0430, and molten images 04541, to provoke me to anger 03707 08687, and hast cast 07993 08689 me behind 0310 thy back 01458:
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, and will cut off 03772 08689 from Jeroboam 03379 him that pisseth 08366 08688 against the wall 07023, [and] him that is shut up 06113 08803 and left 05800 08803 in Israel 03478, and will take away 01197 08765 the remnant 0310 of the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379, as a man taketh away 01197 08762 dung 01557, till it be all gone 08552 08800.
11 Him that dieth 04191 08801 of Jeroboam 03379 in the city 05892 shall the dogs 03611 eat 0398 08799; and him that dieth 04191 08801 in the field 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398 08799: for the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765 [it].
12 Arise 06965 08798 thou therefore, get 03212 08798 thee to thine own house 01004: [and] when thy feet 07272 enter 0935 08800 into the city 05892, the child 03206 shall die 04191 08804.
13 And all Israel 03478 shall mourn 05594 08804 for him, and bury 06912 08804 him: for he only of Jeroboam 03379 shall come 0935 08799 to the grave 06913, because in him there is found 04672 08738 [some] good 02896 thing 01697 toward the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 in the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379.
14 Moreover the LORD 03068 shall raise him up 06965 08689 a king 04428 over Israel 03478, who shall cut off 03772 08686 the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 that day 03117: but what? even now.
15 For the LORD 03068 shall smite 05221 08689 Israel 03478, as a reed 07070 is shaken 05110 08799 in the water 04325, and he shall root up 05428 08804 Israel 03478 out of this good 02896 land 0127, which he gave 05414 08804 to their fathers 01, and shall scatter 02219 08765 them beyond 05676 the river 05104, because they have made 06213 08804 their groves 0842, provoking the LORD 03068 to anger 03707 08688.
16 And he shall give 05414 00 Israel 03478 up 05414 08799 because 01558 of the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379, who did sin 02398 08804, and who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689.
17 And Jeroboam's 03379 wife 0802 arose 06965 08799, and departed 03212 08799, and came 0935 08799 to Tirzah 08656: [and] when she came 0935 08802 to the threshold 05592 of the door 01004, the child 05288 died 04191 08804;
18 And they buried 06912 08799 him; and all Israel 03478 mourned 05594 08799 for him, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 by the hand 03027 of his servant 05650 Ahijah 0281 the prophet 05030.
19 And the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jeroboam 03379, how he warred 03898 08738, and how he reigned 04427 08804, behold, they [are] written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478.
20 And the days 03117 which Jeroboam 03379 reigned 04427 08804 [were] two 08147 and twenty 06242 years 08141: and he slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and Nadab 05070 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
21 And Rehoboam 07346 the son 01121 of Solomon 08010 reigned 04427 08804 in Judah 03063. Rehoboam 07346 [was] forty 0705 and one 0259 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427 08800, and he reigned 04427 08804 seventeen 07651 06240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389, the city 05892 which the LORD 03068 did choose 0977 08804 out of all the tribes 07626 of Israel 03478, to put 07760 08800 his name 08034 there. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Naamah 05279 an Ammonitess 05985.
22 And Judah 03063 did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and they provoked him to jealousy 07065 08762 with their sins 02403 which they had committed 02398 08804, above all that their fathers 01 had done 06213 08804.
23 For they also built 01129 08799 them high places 01116, and images 04676, and groves 0842, on every high 01364 hill 01389, and under every green 07488 tree 06086.
24 And there were also sodomites 06945 in the land 0776: [and] they did 06213 08804 according to all the abominations 08441 of the nations 01471 which the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 08689 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth 02549 year 08141 of king 04428 Rehoboam 07346, [that] Shishak 07895 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 came up 05927 08804 against Jerusalem 03389:
26 And he took away 03947 08799 the treasures 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the treasures 0214 of the king's 04428 house 01004; he even took away 03947 08804 all: and he took away 03947 08799 all the shields 04043 of gold 02091 which Solomon 08010 had made 06213 08804.
27 And king 04428 Rehoboam 07346 made 06213 08799 in their stead brasen 05178 shields 04043, and committed 06485 08689 [them] unto the hands 03027 of the chief 08269 of the guard 07323 08801, which kept 08104 08802 the door 06607 of the king's 04428 house 01004.
28 And it was [so], when 01767 the king 04428 went 0935 08800 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, that the guard 07323 08801 bare 05375 08799 them, and brought them back 07725 08689 into the guard 07323 08801 chamber 08372.
29 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Rehoboam 07346, and all that he did 06213 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
30 And there was war 04421 between Rehoboam 07346 and Jeroboam 03379 all [their] days 03117.
31 And Rehoboam 07346 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Naamah 05279 an Ammonitess 05985. And Abijam 038 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.

1 Now in the eighteenth 08083 06240 year 08141 of king 04428 Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028 reigned 04427 08804 Abijam 038 over Judah 03063.
2 Three 07969 years 08141 reigned 04427 08804 he in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Maachah 04601, the daughter 01323 of Abishalom 053.
3 And he walked 03212 08799 in all the sins 02403 of his father 01, which he had done 06213 08804 before 06440 him: and his heart 03824 was not perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 his God 0430, as the heart 03824 of David 01732 his father 01.
4 Nevertheless for David's 01732 sake did the LORD 03068 his God 0430 give 05414 08804 him a lamp 05216 in Jerusalem 03389, to set up 06965 08687 his son 01121 after 0310 him, and to establish 05975 08687 Jerusalem 03389:
5 Because David 01732 did 06213 08804 [that which was] right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, and turned not aside 05493 08804 from any [thing] that he commanded 06680 08765 him all the days 03117 of his life 02416, save only in the matter 01697 of Uriah 0223 the Hittite 02850.
6 And there was war 04421 between Rehoboam 07346 and Jeroboam 03379 all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
7 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Abijam 038, and all that he did 06213 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063? And there was war 04421 between Abijam 038 and Jeroboam 03379.
8 And Abijam 038 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01; and they buried 06912 08799 him in the city 05892 of David 01732: and Asa 0609 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
9 And in the twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Jeroboam 03379 king 04428 of Israel 03478 reigned 04427 08804 Asa 0609 over Judah 03063.
10 And forty 0705 and one 0259 years 08141 reigned 04427 08804 he in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Maachah 04601, the daughter 01323 of Abishalom 053.
11 And Asa 0609 did 06213 08799 [that which was] right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, as [did] David 01732 his father 01.
12 And he took away 05674 08686 the sodomites 06945 out of the land 0776, and removed 05493 08686 all the idols 01544 that his fathers 01 had made 06213 08804.
13 And also Maachah 04601 his mother 0517, even her he removed 05493 08686 from [being] queen 01377, because she had made 06213 08804 an idol 04656 in a grove 0842; and Asa 0609 destroyed 03772 08799 her idol 04656, and burnt 08313 08799 [it] by the brook 05158 Kidron 06939.
14 But the high places 01116 were not removed 05493 08804: nevertheless Asa's 0609 heart 03824 was perfect 08003 with the LORD 03068 all his days 03117.
15 And he brought 0935 08686 in the things 06944 00 which his father 01 had dedicated 06944, and the things which himself had dedicated 06944, into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, silver 03701, and gold 02091, and vessels 03627.
16 And there was war 04421 between Asa 0609 and Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 all their days 03117.
17 And Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 went up 05927 08799 against Judah 03063, and built 01129 08799 Ramah 07414, that he might not suffer 05414 08800 any to go out 03318 08802 or come in 0935 08802 to Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
18 Then Asa 0609 took 03947 08799 all the silver 03701 and the gold 02091 [that were] left 03498 08737 in the treasures 0214 of the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the treasures 0214 of the king's 04428 house 01004, and delivered 05414 08799 them into the hand 03027 of his servants 05650: and king 04428 Asa 0609 sent 07971 08799 them to Benhadad 01130, the son 01121 of Tabrimon 02886, the son 01121 of Hezion 02383, king 04428 of Syria 0758, that dwelt 03427 08802 at Damascus 01834, saying 0559 08800,
19 [There is] a league 01285 between me and thee, [and] between my father 01 and thy father 01: behold, I have sent 07971 08804 unto thee a present 07810 of silver 03701 and gold 02091; come 03212 08798 and break 06565 08685 thy league 01285 with Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478, that he may depart 05927 08799 from me.
20 So Benhadad 01130 hearkened 08085 08799 unto king 04428 Asa 0609, and sent 07971 08799 the captains 08269 of the hosts 02428 which he had against the cities 05892 of Israel 03478, and smote 05221 08686 Ijon 05859, and Dan 01835, and Abelbethmaachah 062, and all Cinneroth 03672, with all the land 0776 of Naphtali 05321.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha 01201 heard 08085 08800 [thereof], that he left off 02308 08799 building 01129 08800 of Ramah 07414, and dwelt 03427 08799 in Tirzah 08656.
22 Then king 04428 Asa 0609 made a proclamation 08085 08689 throughout all Judah 03063; none [was] exempted 05355: and they took 05375 08799 away the stones 068 of Ramah 07414, and the timber 06086 thereof, wherewith Baasha 01201 had builded 01129 08804; and king 04428 Asa 0609 built 01129 08799 with them Geba 01387 of Benjamin 01144, and Mizpah 04709.
23 The rest 03499 of all the acts 01697 of Asa 0609, and all his might 01369, and all that he did 06213 08804, and the cities 05892 which he built 01129 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063? Nevertheless in the time 06256 of his old age 02209 he was diseased 02470 08804 in his feet 07272.
24 And Asa 0609 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Jehoshaphat 03092 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
25 And Nadab 05070 the son 01121 of Jeroboam 03379 began to reign 04427 08804 over Israel 03478 in the second 08147 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 08799 over Israel 03478 two 08147 years 08141.
26 And he did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 08799 in the way 01870 of his father 01, and in his sin 02403 wherewith he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689.
27 And Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281, of the house 01004 of Issachar 03485, conspired 07194 08799 against him; and Baasha 01201 smote 05221 08686 him at Gibbethon 01405, which [belonged] to the Philistines 06430; for Nadab 05070 and all Israel 03478 laid siege 06696 08802 to Gibbethon 01405.
28 Even in the third 07969 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 did Baasha 01201 slay 04191 08686 him, and reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned 04427 08800, [that] he smote 05221 08689 all the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379; he left 07604 08689 not to Jeroboam 03379 any that breathed 05397, until he had destroyed 08045 08689 him, according unto the saying 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 by 03027 his servant 05650 Ahijah 0281 the Shilonite 07888:
30 Because of the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 which he sinned 02398 08804, and which he made Israel 03478 sin 02398 08689, by his provocation 03708 wherewith he provoked the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 08689.
31 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Nadab 05070, and all that he did 06213 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
32 And there was war 04421 between Asa 0609 and Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478 all their days 03117.
33 In the third 07969 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281 to reign 04427 08804 over all Israel 03478 in Tirzah 08656, twenty 06242 and four 0702 years 08141.
34 And he did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 08799 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and in his sin 02403 wherewith he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689.

#### 1Ki 16

1 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Hanani 02607 against Baasha 01201, saying 0559 08800,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted 07311 08689 thee out of the dust 06083, and made 05414 08799 thee prince 05057 over my people 05971 Israel 03478; and thou hast walked 03212 08799 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and hast made my people 05971 Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08686, to provoke me to anger 03707 08687 with their sins 02403;
3 Behold, I will take away 01197 08686 the posterity 0310 of Baasha 01201, and the posterity 0310 of his house 01004; and will make 05414 08804 thy house 01004 like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028.
4 Him that dieth 04191 08801 of Baasha 01201 in the city 05892 shall the dogs 03611 eat 0398 08799; and him that dieth 04191 08801 of his in the fields 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398 08799.
5 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Baasha 01201, and what he did 06213 08804, and his might 01369, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
6 So Baasha 01201 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 in Tirzah 08656: and Elah 0425 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
7 And also by the hand 03027 of the prophet 05030 Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Hanani 02607 came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 against Baasha 01201, and against his house 01004, even for all the evil 07451 that he did 06213 08804 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, in provoking him to anger 03707 08687 with the work 04639 of his hands 03027, in being like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379; and because he killed 05221 08689 him.
8 In the twenty 06242 08141 and sixth 08337 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Elah 0425 the son 01121 of Baasha 01201 to reign 04427 08804 over Israel 03478 in Tirzah 08656, two years 08141.
9 And his servant 05650 Zimri 02174, captain 08269 of half 04276 [his] chariots 07393, conspired 07194 08799 against him, as he was in Tirzah 08656, drinking 08354 08802 himself drunk 07910 in the house 01004 of Arza 0777 steward of [his] house 01004 in Tirzah 08656.
10 And Zimri 02174 went in 0935 08799 and smote 05221 08686 him, and killed 04191 08686 him, in the twenty 06242 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign 04427 08800, as soon as he sat 03427 08800 on his throne 03678, [that] he slew 05221 08689 all the house 01004 of Baasha 01201: he left 07604 08689 him not one that pisseth 08366 08688 against a wall 07023, neither of his kinsfolks 01350 08802, nor of his friends 07453.
12 Thus did Zimri 02174 destroy 08045 08686 all the house 01004 of Baasha 01201, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 against Baasha 01201 by 03027 Jehu 03058 the prophet 05030,
13 For all the sins 02403 of Baasha 01201, and the sins 02403 of Elah 0425 his son 01121, by which they sinned 02398 08804, and by which they made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689, in provoking the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 08687 with their vanities 01892.
14 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Elah 0425, and all that he did 06213 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
15 In the twenty 06242 08141 and seventh 07651 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 did Zimri 02174 reign 04427 08804 seven 07651 days 03117 in Tirzah 08656. And the people 05971 [were] encamped 02583 08802 against Gibbethon 01405, which [belonged] to the Philistines 06430.
16 And the people 05971 [that were] encamped 02583 08802 heard 08085 08799 say 0559 08800, Zimri 02174 hath conspired 07194 08804, and hath also slain 05221 08689 the king 04428: wherefore all Israel 03478 made Omri 06018, the captain 08269 of the host 06635, king 04427 08686 over Israel 03478 that day 03117 in the camp 04264.
17 And Omri 06018 went up 05927 08799 from Gibbethon 01405, and all Israel 03478 with him, and they besieged 06696 08799 Tirzah 08656.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri 02174 saw 07200 08800 that the city 05892 was taken 03920 08738, that he went 0935 08799 into the palace 0759 of the king's 04428 house 01004, and burnt 08313 08799 the king's 04428 house 01004 over him with fire 0784, and died 04191 08799,
19 For his sins 02403 which he sinned 02398 08804 in doing 06213 08800 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, in walking 03212 08800 in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379, and in his sin 02403 which he did 06213 08804, to make Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08687.
20 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Zimri 02174, and his treason 07195 that he wrought 07194 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
21 Then were the people 05971 of Israel 03478 divided 02505 08735 into two parts 02677: half 02677 of the people 05971 followed 01961 08804 0310 Tibni 08402 the son 01121 of Ginath 01527, to make him king 04427 08687; and half 02677 followed 0310 Omri 06018.
22 But the people 05971 that followed 0310 Omri 06018 prevailed 02388 08799 against 0854 the people 05971 that followed 0310 Tibni 08402 the son 01121 of Ginath 01527: so Tibni 08402 died 04191 08799, and Omri 06018 reigned 04427 08799.
23 In the thirty 07970 08141 and first 0259 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Omri 06018 to reign 04427 08804 over Israel 03478, twelve 08147 06240 years 08141: six 08337 years 08141 reigned 04427 08804 he in Tirzah 08656.
24 And he bought 07069 08799 the hill 02022 Samaria 08111 of Shemer 08106 for two talents 03603 of silver 03701, and built 01129 08799 on the hill 02022, and called 07121 08799 the name 08034 of the city 05892 which he built 01129 08804, after the name 08034 of Shemer 08106, owner 0113 of the hill 02022, Samaria 08111.
25 But Omri 06018 wrought 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, and did worse 07489 08686 than all that [were] before 06440 him.
26 For he walked 03212 08799 in all the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, and in his sin 02403 wherewith he made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689, to provoke the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 08687 with their vanities 01892.
27 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Omri 06018 which he did 06213 08804, and his might 01369 that he shewed 06213 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
28 So Omri 06018 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 in Samaria 08111: and Ahab 0256 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
29 And in the thirty 07970 08141 and eighth 08083 year 08141 of Asa 0609 king 04428 of Judah 03063 began Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 to reign 04427 08804 over Israel 03478: and Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 reigned 04427 08799 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 twenty 06242 and two 08147 years 08141.
30 And Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Omri 06018 did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068 above all that [were] before 06440 him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing 07043 08738 for him to walk 03212 08800 in the sins 02403 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, that he took 03947 08799 to wife 0802 Jezebel 0348 the daughter 01323 of Ethbaal 0856 king 04428 of the Zidonians 06722, and went 03212 08799 and served 05647 08799 Baal 01168, and worshipped 07812 08691 him.
32 And he reared up 06965 08686 an altar 04196 for Baal 01168 in the house 01004 of Baal 01168, which he had built 01129 08804 in Samaria 08111.
33 And Ahab 0256 made 06213 08799 a grove 0842; and Ahab 0256 did 06213 08800 more 03254 08686 to provoke the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 to anger 03707 08687 than all the kings 04428 of Israel 03478 that were before 06440 him.
34 In his days 03117 did Hiel 02419 the Bethelite 01017 build 01129 08804 Jericho 03405: he laid the foundation 03245 08765 thereof in Abiram 048 his firstborn 01060, and set up 05324 08689 the gates 01817 thereof in his youngest 06810 [son] Segub 07687, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 by 03027 Joshua 03091 the son 01121 of Nun 05126.

#### 1Ki 17

1 And Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, [who was] of the inhabitants 08453 of Gilead 01568, said 0559 08799 unto Ahab 0256, [As] the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975 08804, there shall not be dew 02919 nor rain 04306 these years 08141, but according 06310 to my word 01697.
2 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto him, saying 0559 08800,
3 Get 03212 08798 thee hence, and turn 06437 08804 thee eastward 06924, and hide 05641 08738 thyself by the brook 05158 Cherith 03747, that [is] before 06440 Jordan 03383.
4 And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink 08354 08799 of the brook 05158; and I have commanded 06680 08765 the ravens 06158 to feed 03557 08771 thee there.
5 So he went 03212 08799 and did 06213 08799 according unto the word 01697 of the LORD 03068: for he went 03212 08799 and dwelt 03427 08799 by the brook 05158 Cherith 03747, that [is] before 06440 Jordan 03383.
6 And the ravens 06158 brought 0935 08688 him bread 03899 and flesh 01320 in the morning 01242, and bread 03899 and flesh 01320 in the evening 06153; and he drank 08354 08799 of the brook 05158.
7 And it came to pass after 07093 a while 03117, that the brook 05158 dried up 03001 08799, because there had been no rain 01653 in the land 0776.
8 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto him, saying 0559 08800,
9 Arise 06965 08798, get 03212 08798 thee to Zarephath 06886, which [belongeth] to Zidon 06721, and dwell 03427 08804 there: behold, I have commanded 06680 08765 a widow 0490 woman 0802 there to sustain 03557 08771 thee.
10 So he arose 06965 08799 and went 03212 08799 to Zarephath 06886. And when he came 0935 08799 to the gate 06607 of the city 05892, behold, the widow 0490 woman 0802 [was] there gathering 07197 08781 of sticks 06086: and he called 07121 08799 to her, and said 0559 08799, Fetch 03947 08798 me, I pray thee, a little 04592 water 04325 in a vessel 03627, that I may drink 08354 08799.
11 And as she was going 03212 08799 to fetch 03947 08800 [it], he called 07121 08799 to her, and said 0559 08799, Bring 03947 08798 me, I pray thee, a morsel 06595 of bread 03899 in thine hand 03027.
12 And she said 0559 08799, [As] the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 liveth 02416, I have 03426 not a cake 04580, but an handful 04393 03709 of meal 07058 in a barrel 03537, and a little 04592 oil 08081 in a cruse 06835: and, behold, I [am] gathering 07197 08781 two 08147 sticks 06086, that I may go in 0935 08804 and dress 06213 08804 it for me and my son 01121, that we may eat 0398 08804 it, and die 04191 08804.
13 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799 unto her, Fear 03372 08799 not; go 0935 08798 [and] do 06213 08798 as thou hast said 01697: but make 06213 08798 me thereof 08033 a little 06996 cake 05692 first 07223, and bring 03318 08689 [it] unto me, and after 0314 make 06213 08799 for thee and for thy son 01121.
14 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, The barrel 03537 of meal 07058 shall not waste 03615 08799, neither shall the cruse 06835 of oil 08081 fail 02637 08799, until the day 03117 [that] the LORD 03068 sendeth 05414 08800 rain 01653 upon 06440 the earth 0127.
15 And she went 03212 08799 and did 06213 08799 according to the saying 01697 of Elijah 0452: and she, and he, and her house 01004, did eat 0398 08799 [many] days 03117.
16 [And] the barrel 03537 of meal 07058 wasted 03615 08804 not, neither did the cruse 06835 of oil 08081 fail 02638, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 by 03027 Elijah 0452.
17 And it came to pass after 0310 these things 01697, [that] the son 01121 of the woman 0802, the mistress 01172 of the house 01004, fell sick 02470 08804; and his sickness 02483 was so 03966 sore 02389, that there was no breath 05397 left 03498 08738 in him.
18 And she said 0559 08799 unto Elijah 0452, What have I to do with thee, O thou man 0376 of God 0430? art thou come 0935 08804 unto me to call 02142 00 my sin 05771 to remembrance 02142 08687, and to slay 04191 08687 my son 01121?
19 And he said 0559 08799 unto her, Give 05414 08798 me thy son 01121. And he took 03947 08799 him out of her bosom 02436, and carried him up 05927 08686 into a loft 05944, where he abode 03427 08802, and laid 07901 08686 him upon his own bed 04296.
20 And he cried 07121 08799 unto the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, hast thou also brought evil 07489 08689 upon the widow 0490 with whom I sojourn 01481 08711, by slaying 04191 08687 her son 01121?
21 And he stretched 04058 08709 himself upon the child 03206 three 07969 times 06471, and cried 07121 08799 unto the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, O LORD 03068 my God 0430, I pray thee, let this child's 03206 soul 05315 come 07725 00 into him 07130 again 07725 08799.
22 And the LORD 03068 heard 08085 08799 the voice 06963 of Elijah 0452; and the soul 05315 of the child 03206 came 07725 00 into him 07130 again 07725 08799, and he revived 02421 08799.
23 And Elijah 0452 took 03947 08799 the child 03206, and brought him down 03381 08686 out of the chamber 05944 into the house 01004, and delivered 05414 08799 him unto his mother 0517: and Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799, See 07200 08798, thy son 01121 liveth 02416.
24 And the woman 0802 said 0559 08799 to Elijah 0452, Now by this 02088 I know 03045 08804 that thou [art] a man 0376 of God 0430, [and] that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 in thy mouth 06310 [is] truth 0571.

#### 1Ki 18

1 And it came to pass [after] many 07227 days 03117, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 in the third 07992 year 08141, saying 0559 08800, Go 03212 08798, shew 07200 08734 thyself unto Ahab 0256; and I will send 05414 08799 rain 04306 upon 06440 the earth 0127.
2 And Elijah 0452 went 03212 08799 to shew 07200 08736 himself unto Ahab 0256. And [there was] a sore 02389 famine 07458 in Samaria 08111.
3 And Ahab 0256 called 07121 08799 Obadiah 05662, which [was] the governor of [his] house 01004. (Now Obadiah 05662 feared 03373 the LORD 03068 greatly 03966:
4 For it was [so], when Jezebel 0348 cut off 03772 08687 the prophets 05030 of the LORD 03068, that Obadiah 05662 took 03947 08799 an hundred 03967 prophets 05030, and hid 02244 08686 them by fifty 0376 02572 in a cave 04631, and fed 03557 08773 them with bread 03899 and water 04325.)
5 And Ahab 0256 said 0559 08799 unto Obadiah 05662, Go 03212 08798 into the land 0776, unto all fountains 04599 of water 04325, and unto all brooks 05158: peradventure 0194 we may find 04672 08799 grass 02682 to save 02421 08762 the horses 05483 and mules 06505 alive 02421 08762, that we lose 03772 08686 not all the beasts 0929.
6 So they divided 02505 08762 the land 0776 between them to pass throughout 05674 08800 it: Ahab 0256 went 01980 08804 one 0259 way 01870 by himself, and Obadiah 05662 went 01980 08804 another 0259 way 01870 by himself.
7 And as Obadiah 05662 was in the way 01870, behold, Elijah 0452 met 07125 08800 him: and he knew 05234 08686 him, and fell 05307 08799 on his face 06440, and said 0559 08799, [Art] thou that my lord 0113 Elijah 0452?
8 And he answered 0559 08799 him, I [am]: go 03212 08798, tell 0559 08798 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 [is here].
9 And he said 0559 08799, What have I sinned 02398 08804, that thou wouldest deliver 05414 08802 thy servant 05650 into the hand 03027 of Ahab 0256, to slay 04191 08687 me?
10 [As] the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 liveth 02416, there is no 03426 nation 01471 or kingdom 04467, whither 0834 my lord 0113 hath not sent 07971 08804 to seek 01245 08763 thee: and when they said 0559 08804, [He is] not [there]; he took an oath 07650 08689 of the kingdom 04467 and nation 01471, that they found 04672 08799 thee not.
11 And now thou sayest 0559 08802, Go 03212 08798, tell 0559 08798 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 [is here].
12 And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone 03212 08799 from thee, that the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 shall carry 05375 08799 thee whither I know 03045 08799 not; and [so] when I come 0935 08804 and tell 05046 08687 Ahab 0256, and he cannot find 04672 08799 thee, he shall slay 02026 08804 me: but I thy servant 05650 fear 03372 08804 the LORD 03068 from my youth 05271.
13 Was it not told 05046 08717 my lord 0113 what I did 06213 08804 when Jezebel 0348 slew 02026 08800 the prophets 05030 of the LORD 03068, how I hid 02244 08686 an hundred 03967 men 0376 of the LORD'S 03068 prophets 05030 by fifty 02572 in a cave 04631, and fed 03557 08770 them with bread 03899 and water 04325?
14 And now thou sayest 0559 08802, Go 03212 08798, tell 0559 08798 thy lord 0113, Behold, Elijah 0452 [is here]: and he shall slay 02026 08804 me.
15 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799, [As] the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 liveth 02416, before 06440 whom I stand 05975 08804, I will surely shew 07200 08735 myself unto him to day 03117.
16 So Obadiah 05662 went 03212 08799 to meet 07125 08800 Ahab 0256, and told 05046 08686 him: and Ahab 0256 went 03212 08799 to meet 07125 08800 Elijah 0452.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 saw 07200 08800 Elijah 0452, that Ahab 0256 said 0559 08799 unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth 05916 08802 Israel 03478?
18 And he answered 0559 08799, I have not troubled 05916 08804 Israel 03478; but thou, and thy father's 01 house 01004, in that ye have forsaken 05800 08800 the commandments 04687 of the LORD 03068, and thou hast followed 03212 08799 0310 Baalim 01168.
19 Now therefore send 07971 08798, [and] gather 06908 08798 to me all Israel 03478 unto mount 02022 Carmel 03760, and the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168 four 0702 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572, and the prophets 05030 of the groves 0842 four 0702 hundred 03967, which eat 0398 08802 at Jezebel's 0348 table 07979.
20 So Ahab 0256 sent 07971 08799 unto all the children 01121 of Israel 03478, and gathered 06908 00 the prophets 05030 together 06908 08799 unto mount 02022 Carmel 03760.
21 And Elijah 0452 came 05066 08799 unto all the people 05971, and said 0559 08799, How long 05921 halt 06452 08802 ye between two 08147 opinions 05587? if the LORD 03068 [be] God 0430, follow him: but if Baal 01168, [then] follow 03212 08798 0310 him. And the people 05971 answered 06030 08804 him not a word 01697.
22 Then said 0559 08799 Elijah 0452 unto the people 05971, I, [even] I only, remain 03498 08738 a prophet 05030 of the LORD 03068; but Baal's 01168 prophets 05030 [are] four 0702 hundred 03967 and fifty 02572 men 0376.
23 Let them therefore give 05414 08799 us two 08147 bullocks 06499; and let them choose 0977 08799 one 0259 bullock 06499 for themselves, and cut it in pieces 05408 08762, and lay 07760 08799 [it] on wood 06086, and put 07760 08799 no fire 0784 [under]: and I will dress 06213 08799 the other 0259 bullock 06499, and lay 05414 08804 [it] on wood 06086, and put 07760 08799 no fire 0784 [under]:
24 And call 07121 08804 ye on the name 08034 of your gods 0430, and I will call 07121 08799 on the name 08034 of the LORD 03068: and the God 0430 that answereth 06030 08799 by fire 0784, let him be God 0430. And all the people 05971 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799, It is well 02896 spoken 01697.
25 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799 unto the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168, Choose 0977 08798 you one 0259 bullock 06499 for yourselves, and dress 06213 08798 [it] first 07223; for ye [are] many 07227; and call 07121 08798 on the name 08034 of your gods 0430, but put 07760 08799 no fire 0784 [under].
26 And they took 03947 08799 the bullock 06499 which was given 05414 08804 them, and they dressed 06213 08799 [it], and called 07121 08799 on the name 08034 of Baal 01168 from morning 01242 even until noon 06672, saying 0559 08800, O Baal 01168, hear 06030 08798 us. But [there was] no 0369 voice 06963, nor any that answered 06030 08802. And they leaped 06452 08762 upon the altar 04196 which was made 06213 08804.
27 And it came to pass at noon 06672, that Elijah 0452 mocked 02048 08762 them, and said 0559 08799, Cry 07121 08798 aloud 01419 06963: for he [is] a god 0430; either he is talking 07879, or he is pursuing 07873, or he is in a journey 01870, [or] peradventure 0194 he sleepeth 03463, and must be awaked 03364 08799.
28 And they cried 07121 08799 aloud 06963 01419, and cut 01413 08704 themselves after their manner 04941 with knives 02719 and lancets 07420, till the blood 01818 gushed out 08210 08800 upon them.
29 And it came to pass, when midday 06672 was past 05674 08800, and they prophesied 05012 08691 until the [time] of the offering 05927 08800 of the [evening] sacrifice 04503, that [there was] neither voice 06963, nor any to answer 06030 08802, nor any that regarded 07182.
30 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799 unto all the people 05971, Come near 05066 08798 unto me. And all the people 05971 came near 05066 08799 unto him. And he repaired 07495 08762 the altar 04196 of the LORD 03068 [that was] broken down 02040 08803.
31 And Elijah 0452 took 03947 08799 twelve 08147 06240 stones 068, according to the number 04557 of the tribes 07626 of the sons 01121 of Jacob 03290, unto whom the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came, saying 0559 08800, Israel 03478 shall be thy name 08034:
32 And with the stones 068 he built 01129 08799 an altar 04196 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068: and he made 06213 08799 a trench 08585 about 05439 the altar 04196, as great as would contain 01004 two measures 05429 of seed 02233.
33 And he put 06186 00 the wood 06086 in order 06186 08799, and cut 05408 08762 the bullock 06499 in pieces, and laid 07760 08799 [him] on the wood 06086, and said 0559 08799, Fill 04390 08798 four 0702 barrels 03537 with water 04325, and pour 03332 08798 [it] on the burnt sacrifice 05930, and on the wood 06086.
34 And he said 0559 08799, Do [it] the second time 08138 08798. And they did [it] the second time 08138 08799. And he said 0559 08799, Do [it] the third time 08027 08761. And they did [it] the third time 08027 08762.
35 And the water 04325 ran 03212 08799 round about 05439 the altar 04196; and he filled 04390 08765 the trench 08585 also with water 04325.
36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering 05927 08800 of the [evening] sacrifice 04503, that Elijah 0452 the prophet 05030 came near 05066 08799, and said 0559 08799, LORD 03068 God 0430 of Abraham 085, Isaac 03327, and of Israel 03478, let it be known 03045 08735 this day 03117 that thou [art] God 0430 in Israel 03478, and [that] I [am] thy servant 05650, and [that] I have done 06213 08804 all these things at thy word 01697.
37 Hear 06030 08798 me, O LORD 03068, hear 06030 08798 me, that this people 05971 may know 03045 08799 that thou [art] the LORD 03068 God 0430, and [that] thou hast turned 05437 00 their heart 03820 back 05437 08689 again 0322.
38 Then the fire 0784 of the LORD 03068 fell 05307 08799, and consumed 0398 08799 the burnt sacrifice 05930, and the wood 06086, and the stones 068, and the dust 06083, and licked up 03897 08765 the water 04325 that [was] in the trench 08585.
39 And when all the people 05971 saw 07200 08799 [it], they fell 05307 08799 on their faces 06440: and they said 0559 08799, The LORD 03068, he [is] the God 0430; the LORD 03068, he [is] the God 0430.
40 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799 unto them, Take 08610 08798 the prophets 05030 of Baal 01168; let not one 0376 of them escape 04422 08735. And they took 08610 08799 them: and Elijah 0452 brought them down 03381 08686 to the brook 05158 Kishon 07028, and slew 07819 08799 them there.
41 And Elijah 0452 said 0559 08799 unto Ahab 0256, Get thee up 05927 08798, eat 0398 08798 and drink 08354 08798; for [there is] a sound 06963 of abundance 01995 of rain 01653.
42 So Ahab 0256 went up 05927 08799 to eat 0398 08800 and to drink 08354 08800. And Elijah 0452 went up 05927 08804 to the top 07218 of Carmel 03760; and he cast himself down 01457 08799 upon the earth 0776, and put 07760 08799 his face 06440 between his knees 01290,
43 And said 0559 08799 to his servant 05288, Go up 05927 08798 now, look 05027 08685 toward 01870 the sea 03220. And he went up 05927 08799, and looked 05027 08686, and said 0559 08799, [There is] nothing 03972. And he said 0559 08799, Go again 07725 08798 seven 07651 times 06471.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time 07637, that he said 0559 08799, Behold, there ariseth 05927 08802 a little 06996 cloud 05645 out of the sea 03220, like a man's 0376 hand 03709. And he said 0559 08799, Go up 05927 08798, say 0559 08798 unto Ahab 0256, Prepare 0631 08798 [thy chariot], and get thee down 03381 08798, that the rain 01653 stop 06113 08799 thee not.
45 And it came to pass in the mean while 03541, that the heaven 08064 was black 06937 08694 with clouds 05645 and wind 07307, and there was a great 01419 rain 01653. And Ahab 0256 rode 07392 08799, and went 03212 08799 to Jezreel 03157.
46 And the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 was on Elijah 0452; and he girded up 08151 08762 his loins 04975, and ran 07323 08799 before 06440 Ahab 0256 to the entrance 0935 08800 of Jezreel 03157.

1 And Ahab 0256 told 05046 08686 Jezebel 0348 all that Elijah 0452 had done 06213 08804, and withal how he had slain 02026 08804 all the prophets 05030 with the sword 02719.
2 Then Jezebel 0348 sent 07971 08799 a messenger 04397 unto Elijah 0452, saying 0559 08800, So let the gods 0430 do 06213 08799 [to me], and more 03254 08686 also, if I make 07760 08799 not thy life 05315 as the life 05315 of one 0259 of them by to morrow 04279 about this time 06256.
3 And when he saw 07200 08799 [that], he arose 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799 for his life 05315, and came 0935 08799 to Beersheba 0884, which [belongeth] to Judah 03063, and left 03240 08686 his servant 05288 there.
4 But he himself went 01980 08804 a day's 03117 journey 01870 into the wilderness 04057, and came 0935 08799 and sat down 03427 08799 under a 0259 juniper tree 07574: and he requested 07592 08799 for himself 05315 that he might die 04191 08800; and said 0559 08799, It is enough 07227; now, O LORD 03068, take away 03947 08798 my life 05315; for I [am] not better 02896 than my fathers 01.
5 And as he lay 07901 08799 and slept 03462 08799 under a 0259 juniper tree 07574, behold, then an angel 04397 touched 05060 08802 him, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Arise 06965 08798 [and] eat 0398 08798.
6 And he looked 05027 08686, and, behold, [there was] a cake 05692 baken on the coals 07529, and a cruse 06835 of water 04325 at his head 04763. And he did eat 0398 08799 and drink 08354 08799, and laid him down 07901 08799 again 07725 08799.
7 And the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 came again 07725 08799 the second time 08145, and touched 05060 08799 him, and said 0559 08799, Arise 06965 08798 [and] eat 0398 08798; because the journey 01870 [is] too great 07227 for thee.
8 And he arose 06965 08799, and did eat 0398 08799 and drink 08354 08799, and went 03212 08799 in the strength 03581 of that meat 0396 forty 0705 days 03117 and forty 0705 nights 03915 unto Horeb 02722 the mount 02022 of God 0430.
9 And he came 0935 08799 thither unto a cave 04631, and lodged 03885 08799 there; and, behold, the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 [came] to him, and he said 0559 08799 unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah 0452?
10 And he said 0559 08799, I have been very 07065 08763 jealous 07065 08765 for the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635: for the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have forsaken 05800 08804 thy covenant 01285, thrown down 02040 08804 thine altars 04196, and slain 02026 08804 thy prophets 05030 with the sword 02719; and I, [even] I only, am left 03498 08735; and they seek 01245 08762 my life 05315, to take it away 03947 08800.
11 And he said 0559 08799, Go forth 03318 08798, and stand 05975 08804 upon the mount 02022 before 06440 the LORD 03068. And, behold, the LORD 03068 passed by 05674 08802, and a great 01419 and strong 02389 wind 07307 rent 06561 08764 the mountains 02022, and brake in pieces 07665 08764 the rocks 05553 before 06440 the LORD 03068; [but] the LORD 03068 [was] not in the wind 07307: and after 0310 the wind 07307 an earthquake 07494; [but] the LORD 03068 [was] not in the earthquake 07494:
12 And after 0310 the earthquake 07494 a fire 0784; [but] the LORD 03068 [was] not in the fire 0784: and after 0310 the fire 0784 a still 01827 small 01851 voice 06963.
13 And it was [so], when Elijah 0452 heard 08085 08800 [it], that he wrapped 03874 08686 his face 06440 in his mantle 0155, and went out 03318 08799, and stood 05975 08799 in the entering in 06607 of the cave 04631. And, behold, [there came] a voice 06963 unto him, and said 0559 08799, What doest thou here, Elijah 0452?
14 And he said 0559 08799, I have been very 07065 08763 jealous 07065 08765 for the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635: because the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have forsaken 05800 08804 thy covenant 01285, thrown down 02040 08804 thine altars 04196, and slain 02026 08804 thy prophets 05030 with the sword 02719; and I, [even] I only, am left 03498 08735; and they seek 01245 08762 my life 05315, to take it away 03947 08800.
15 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto him, Go 03212 08798, return 07725 08798 on thy way 01870 to the wilderness 04057 of Damascus 01834: and when thou comest 0935 08804, anoint 04886 08804 Hazael 02371 [to be] king 04428 over Syria 0758:
16 And Jehu 03058 the son 01121 of Nimshi 05250 shalt thou anoint 04886 08799 [to be] king 04428 over Israel 03478: and Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202 of Abelmeholah 065 shalt thou anoint 04886 08799 [to be] prophet 05030 in thy room.
17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth 04422 08737 the sword 02719 of Hazael 02371 shall Jehu 03058 slay 04191 08686: and him that escapeth 04422 08737 from the sword 02719 of Jehu 03058 shall Elisha 0477 slay 04191 08686.
18 Yet I have left 07604 08689 [me] seven 07651 thousand 0505 in Israel 03478, all the knees 01290 which have not bowed 03766 08804 unto Baal 01168, and every mouth 06310 which hath not kissed 05401 08804 him.
19 So he departed 03212 08799 thence, and found 04672 08799 Elisha 0477 the son 01121 of Shaphat 08202, who [was] plowing 02790 08802 [with] twelve 08147 06240 yoke 06776 [of oxen] before 06440 him, and he with the twelfth 08147 06240: and Elijah 0452 passed 05674 08799 by him, and cast 07993 08686 his mantle 0155 upon him.
20 And he left 05800 08799 the oxen 01241, and ran 07323 08799 after 0310 Elijah 0452, and said 0559 08799, Let me, I pray thee, kiss 05401 08799 my father 01 and my mother 0517, and [then] I will follow 03212 08799 0310 thee. And he said 0559 08799 unto him, Go back 03212 08798 again 07725 08798: for what have I done 06213 08804 to thee?
21 And he returned back 07725 08799 from him 0310, and took 03947 08799 a yoke 06776 of oxen 01241, and slew 02076 08799 them, and boiled 01310 08765 their flesh 01320 with the instruments 03627 of the oxen 01241, and gave 05414 08799 unto the people 05971, and they did eat 0398 08799. Then he arose 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799 after 0310 Elijah 0452, and ministered 08334 08762 unto him.

1 And Benhadad 01130 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 gathered 06908 00 all his host 02428 together 06908 08804: and [there were] thirty 07970 and two 08147 kings 04428 with him, and horses 05483, and chariots 07393: and he went up 05927 08799 and besieged 06696 08799 Samaria 08111, and warred 03898 08735 against it.
2 And he sent 07971 08799 messengers 04397 to Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478 into the city 05892, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Thus saith 0559 08804 Benhadad 01130,
3 Thy silver 03701 and thy gold 02091 [is] mine; thy wives 0802 also and thy children 01121, [even] the goodliest 02896, [are] mine.
4 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799, My lord 0113, O king 04428, according to thy saying 01697, I [am] thine, and all that I have.
5 And the messengers 04397 came again 07725 08799, and said 0559 08799, Thus speaketh 0559 08804 Benhadad 01130, saying 0559 08800, Although I have sent 07971 08804 unto thee, saying 0559 08800, Thou shalt deliver 05414 08799 me thy silver 03701, and thy gold 02091, and thy wives 0802, and thy children 01121;
6 Yet I will send 07971 08799 my servants 05650 unto thee to morrow 04279 about this time 06256, and they shall search 02664 08765 thine house 01004, and the houses 01004 of thy servants 05650; and it shall be 01961 08804, [that] whatsoever is pleasant 04261 in thine eyes 05869, they shall put 07760 08799 [it] in their hand 03027, and take [it] away 03947 08804.
7 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 called 07121 08799 all the elders 02205 of the land 0776, and said 0559 08799, Mark 03045 08798, I pray you, and see 07200 08798 how this [man] seeketh 01245 08764 mischief 07451: for he sent 07971 08804 unto me for my wives 0802, and for my children 01121, and for my silver 03701, and for my gold 02091; and I denied 04513 08804 him not.
8 And all the elders 02205 and all the people 05971 said 0559 08799 unto him, Hearken 08085 08799 not [unto him], nor consent 014 08799.
9 Wherefore he said 0559 08799 unto the messengers 04397 of Benhadad 01130, Tell 0559 08798 my lord 0113 the king 04428, All that thou didst send 07971 08804 for to thy servant 05650 at the first 07223 I will do 06213 08799: but this thing 01697 I may 03201 08799 not do 06213 08800. And the messengers 04397 departed 03212 08799, and brought 07725 00 him word 01697 again 07725 08686.
10 And Benhadad 01130 sent 07971 08799 unto him, and said 0559 08799, The gods 0430 do so 06213 08799 unto me, and more also 03254 08686, if the dust 06083 of Samaria 08111 shall suffice 05606 08799 for handfuls 08168 for all the people 05971 that follow 07272 me.
11 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 answered 06030 08799 and said 0559 08799, Tell 01696 08761 [him], Let not him that girdeth 02296 08802 on [his harness] boast 01984 08691 himself as he that putteth it off 06605 08764.
12 And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard 08085 08800 this message 01697, as he [was] drinking 08354 08802, he and the kings 04428 in the pavilions 05521, that he said 0559 08799 unto his servants 05650, Set 07760 08798 [yourselves in array]. And they set 07760 08799 [themselves in array] against the city 05892.
13 And, behold, there came 05066 08738 a 0259 prophet 05030 unto Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08799, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Hast thou seen 07200 08804 all this great 01419 multitude 01995? behold, I will deliver 05414 08802 it into thine hand 03027 this day 03117; and thou shalt know 03045 08804 that I [am] the LORD 03068.
14 And Ahab 0256 said 0559 08799, By whom? And he said 0559 08799, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, [Even] by the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082. Then he said 0559 08799, Who shall order 0631 08799 the battle 04421? And he answered 0559 08799, Thou.
15 Then he numbered 06485 08799 the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082, and they were two 08147 hundred 03967 and thirty 07970 two 08147: and after 0310 them he numbered 06485 08804 all the people 05971, [even] all the children 01121 of Israel 03478, [being] seven 07651 thousand 0505.
16 And they went out 03318 08799 at noon 06672. But Benhadad 01130 [was] drinking 08354 08802 himself drunk 07910 in the pavilions 05521, he and the kings 04428, the thirty 07970 and two 08147 kings 04428 that helped 05826 08802 him.
17 And the young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082 went out 03318 08799 first 07223; and Benhadad 01130 sent out 07971 08799, and they told 05046 08686 him, saying 0559 08800, There are men 0582 come out 03318 08804 of Samaria 08111.
18 And he said 0559 08799, Whether they be come out 03318 08804 for peace 07965, take 08610 08798 them alive 02416; or whether they be come out 03318 08804 for war 04421, take 08610 08798 them alive 02416.
19 So these young men 05288 of the princes 08269 of the provinces 04082 came out 03318 08804 of the city 05892, and the army 02428 which followed 0310 them.
20 And they slew 05221 08686 every one 0376 his man 0376: and the Syrians 0758 fled 05127 08799; and Israel 03478 pursued 07291 08799 them: and Benhadad 01130 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 escaped 04422 08735 on an horse 05483 with the horsemen 06571.
21 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 went out 03318 08799, and smote 05221 08686 the horses 05483 and chariots 07393, and slew 05221 08689 the Syrians 0758 with a great 01419 slaughter 04347.
22 And the prophet 05030 came 05066 08799 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Go 03212 08798, strengthen 02388 08690 thyself, and mark 03045 08798, and see 07200 08798 what thou doest 06213 08799: for at the return 08666 of the year 08141 the king 04428 of Syria 0758 will come up 05927 08802 against thee.
23 And the servants 05650 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758 said 0559 08804 unto him, Their gods 0430 [are] gods 0430 of the hills 02022; therefore they were stronger 02388 08804 than we; but 0199 let us fight 03898 08735 against them in the plain 04334, and surely 03808 we shall be stronger 02388 08799 than they.
24 And do 06213 08798 this thing 01697, Take 05493 08685 the kings 04428 away, every man 0376 out of his place 04725, and put 07760 08798 captains 06346 in their rooms:
25 And number 04487 08799 thee an army 02428, like the army 02428 that thou hast lost 05307 08802, horse 05483 for horse 05483, and chariot 07393 for chariot 07393: and we will fight 03898 08735 against 0854 them in the plain 04334, [and] surely we shall be stronger 02388 08799 than they. And he hearkened 08085 08799 unto their voice 06963, and did so 06213 08799.
26 And it came to pass at the return 08666 of the year 08141, that Benhadad 01130 numbered 06485 08799 the Syrians 0758, and went up 05927 08799 to Aphek 0663, to fight 04421 against Israel 03478.
27 And the children 01121 of Israel 03478 were numbered 06485 08719, and were all present 03557 08791, and went 03212 08799 against 07125 08800 them: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 pitched 02583 08799 before them like two 08147 little flocks 02835 of kids 05795; but the Syrians 0758 filled 04390 08765 the country 0776.
28 And there came 05066 08799 a man 0376 of God 0430, and spake 0559 08799 unto the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559 08799, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Because the Syrians 0758 have said 0559 08804, The LORD 03068 [is] God 0430 of the hills 02022, but he [is] not God 0430 of the valleys 06010, therefore will I deliver 05414 08804 all this great 01419 multitude 01995 into thine hand 03027, and ye shall know 03045 08804 that I [am] the LORD 03068.
29 And they pitched 02583 08799 one 0428 over against 05227 the other 0428 seven 07651 days 03117. And [so] it was, that in the seventh 07637 day 03117 the battle 04421 was joined 07126 08799: and the children 01121 of Israel 03478 slew 05221 08686 of the Syrians 0758 an hundred 03967 thousand 0505 footmen 07273 in one 0259 day 03117.
30 But the rest 03498 08737 fled 05127 08799 to Aphek 0663, into the city 05892; and [there] a wall 02346 fell 05307 08799 upon twenty 06242 and seven 07651 thousand 0505 of the men 0376 [that were] left 03498 08737. And Benhadad 01130 fled 05127 08804, and came 0935 08799 into the city 05892, into an inner 02315 chamber 02315.
31 And his servants 05650 said 0559 08799 unto him, Behold now, we have heard 08085 08804 that the kings 04428 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478 [are] merciful 02617 kings 04428: let us, I pray thee, put 07760 08799 sackcloth 08242 on our loins 04975, and ropes 02256 upon our heads 07218, and go out 03318 08799 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478: peradventure he will save 02421 08762 thy life 05315.
32 So they girded 02296 08799 sackcloth 08242 on their loins 04975, and [put] ropes 02256 on their heads 07218, and came 0935 08799 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, and said 0559 08799, Thy servant 05650 Benhadad 01130 saith 0559 08804, I pray thee, let me live 02421 08799 05315. And he said 0559 08799, [Is] he yet alive 02416? he [is] my brother 0251.
33 Now the men 0582 did diligently observe 05172 08762 whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily 04116 08762 catch 02480 08686 [it]: and they said 0559 08799, Thy brother 0251 Benhadad 01130. Then he said 0559 08799, Go 0935 08798 ye, bring 03947 08798 him. Then Benhadad 01130 came forth 03318 08799 to him; and he caused him to come up 05927 08686 into the chariot 04818.
34 And [Benhadad] said 0559 08799 unto him, The cities 05892, which my father 01 took 03947 08804 from thy father 01, I will restore 07725 08686; and thou shalt make 07760 08799 streets 02351 for thee in Damascus 01834, as my father 01 made 07760 08804 in Samaria 08111. Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away 07971 08762 with this covenant 01285. So he made 03772 08799 a covenant 01285 with him, and sent him away 07971 08762.
35 And a certain 0259 man 0376 of the sons 01121 of the prophets 05030 said 0559 08804 unto his neighbour 07453 in the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, Smite 05221 08685 me, I pray thee. And the man 0376 refused 03985 08762 to smite 05221 08687 him.
36 Then said 0559 08799 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed 08085 08804 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, behold, as soon as thou art departed 01980 08802 from me, a lion 0738 shall slay 05221 08689 thee. And as soon as he was departed 03212 08799 from him 0681, a lion 0738 found 04672 08799 him, and slew 05221 08686 him.
37 Then he found 04672 08799 another 0312 man 0376, and said 0559 08799, Smite 05221 08685 me, I pray thee. And the man 0376 smote 05221 08686 him, so that in smiting 05221 08687 he wounded 06481 08800 [him].
38 So the prophet 05030 departed 03212 08799, and waited 05975 08799 for the king 04428 by the way 01870, and disguised 02664 08691 himself with ashes 0666 upon his face 05869.
39 And as the king 04428 passed by 05674 08802, he cried 06817 08804 unto the king 04428: and he said 0559 08799, Thy servant 05650 went out 03318 08804 into the midst 07130 of the battle 04421; and, behold, a man 0376 turned aside 05493 08804, and brought 0935 08686 a man 0376 unto me, and said 0559 08799, Keep 08104 08798 this man 0376: if by any means 06485 08736 he be missing 06485 08735, then shall thy life 05315 be for his life 05315, or else thou shalt pay 08254 08799 a talent 03603 of silver 03701.
40 And as thy servant 05650 was busy 06213 08802 here and there, he was gone 0369. And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799 unto him, So [shall] thy judgment 04941 [be]; thyself hast decided 02782 08804 [it].
41 And he hasted 04116 08762, and took the ashes 0666 away 05493 08686 from his face 05869; and the king 04428 of Israel 03478 discerned 05234 08686 him that he [was] of the prophets 05030.
42 And he said 0559 08799 unto him, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Because thou hast let go 07971 08765 out of [thy] hand 03027 a man 0376 whom I appointed to utter destruction 02764, therefore thy life 05315 shall go for his life 05315, and thy people 05971 for his people 05971.
43 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 went 03212 08799 to his house 01004 heavy 05620 and displeased 02198, and came 0935 08799 to Samaria 08111.

1 And it came to pass after 0310 these things 01697, [that] Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158 had a vineyard 03754, which [was] in Jezreel 03157, hard by 0681 the palace 01964 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Samaria 08111.
2 And Ahab 0256 spake 01696 08762 unto Naboth 05022, saying 0559 08800, Give 05414 08798 me thy vineyard 03754, that I may have it for a garden 01588 of herbs 03419, because it [is] near 07138 unto 0681 my house 01004: and I will give 05414 08799 thee for it a better 02896 vineyard 03754 than it; [or], if it seem good 02896 to thee 05869, I will give 05414 08799 thee the worth 04242 of it in money 03701.
3 And Naboth 05022 said 0559 08799 to Ahab 0256, The LORD 03068 forbid 02486 it me, that I should give 05414 08800 the inheritance 05159 of my fathers 01 unto thee.
4 And Ahab 0256 came 0935 08799 into his house 01004 heavy 05620 and displeased 02198 because of the word 01697 which Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158 had spoken 01696 08765 to him: for he had said 0559 08799, I will not give 05414 08799 thee the inheritance 05159 of my fathers 01. And he laid him down 07901 08799 upon his bed 04296, and turned away 05437 08686 his face 06440, and would eat 0398 08804 no bread 03899.
5 But Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 came 0935 08799 to him, and said 01696 08762 unto him, Why is thy spirit 07307 so sad 05620, that thou eatest 0398 08802 no bread 03899?
6 And he said 01696 08762 unto her, Because I spake 01696 08762 unto Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Give 05414 08798 me thy vineyard 03754 for money 03701; or else, if it please 02655 thee, I will give 05414 08799 thee [another] vineyard 03754 for it: and he answered 0559 08799, I will not give 05414 08799 thee my vineyard 03754.
7 And Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 said 0559 08799 unto him, Dost thou now govern 06213 08799 the kingdom 04410 of Israel 03478? arise 06965 08798, [and] eat 0398 08798 bread 03899, and let thine heart 03820 be merry 03190 08799: I will give 05414 08799 thee the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158.
8 So she wrote 03789 08799 letters 05612 in Ahab's 0256 name 08034, and sealed 02856 08799 [them] with his seal 02368, and sent 07971 08799 the letters 05612 unto the elders 02205 and to the nobles 02715 that [were] in his city 05892, dwelling 03427 08802 with Naboth 05022.
9 And she wrote 03789 08799 in the letters 05612, saying 0559 08800, Proclaim 07121 08798 a fast 06685, and set 03427 08685 Naboth 05022 on high 07218 among the people 05971:
10 And set 03427 08685 two 08147 men 0582, sons 01121 of Belial 01100, before him, to bear witness 05749 08686 against him, saying 0559 08800, Thou didst blaspheme 01288 08765 God 0430 and the king 04428. And [then] carry him out 03318 08689, and stone 05619 08798 him, that he may die 04191 08799.
11 And the men 0582 of his city 05892, [even] the elders 02205 and the nobles 02715 who were the inhabitants 03427 08802 in his city 05892, did 06213 08799 as Jezebel 0348 had sent 07971 08804 unto them, [and] as it [was] written 03789 08803 in the letters 05612 which she had sent 07971 08804 unto them.
12 They proclaimed 07121 08804 a fast 06685, and set 03427 08689 Naboth 05022 on high 07218 among the people 05971.
13 And there came 0935 08799 in two 08147 men 0582, children 01121 of Belial 01100, and sat 03427 08799 before him: and the men 0582 of Belial 01100 witnessed 05749 08686 against him, [even] against Naboth 05022, in the presence of the people 05971, saying 0559 08800, Naboth 05022 did blaspheme 01288 08765 God 0430 and the king 04428. Then they carried him forth 03318 08686 out 02351 of the city 05892, and stoned 05619 08799 him with stones 068, that he died 04191 08799.
14 Then they sent 07971 08799 to Jezebel 0348, saying 0559 08800, Naboth 05022 is stoned 05619 08795, and is dead 04191 08799.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel 0348 heard 08085 08800 that Naboth 05022 was stoned 05619 08795, and was dead 04191 08799, that Jezebel 0348 said 0559 08799 to Ahab 0256, Arise 06965 08798, take possession 03423 08798 of the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, which he refused 03985 08765 to give 05414 08800 thee for money 03701: for Naboth 05022 is not alive 02416, but dead 04191 08804.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 heard 08085 08800 that Naboth 05022 was dead 04191 08804, that Ahab 0256 rose up 06965 08799 to go down 03381 08800 to the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022 the Jezreelite 03158, to take possession 03423 08800 of it.
17 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, saying 0559 08800,
18 Arise 06965 08798, go down 03381 08798 to meet 07125 08800 Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478, which [is] in Samaria 08111: behold, [he is] in the vineyard 03754 of Naboth 05022, whither he is gone down 03381 08804 to possess 03423 08800 it.
19 And thou shalt speak 01696 08765 unto him, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Hast thou killed 07523 08804, and also taken possession 03423 08804? And thou shalt speak 01696 08765 unto him, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, In the place 04725 where dogs 03611 licked 03952 08804 the blood 01818 of Naboth 05022 shall dogs 03611 lick 03952 08799 thy blood 01818, even thine.
20 And Ahab 0256 said 0559 08799 to Elijah 0452, Hast thou found 04672 08804 me, O mine enemy 0341 08802? And he answered 0559 08799, I have found 04672 08804 [thee]: because thou hast sold 04376 08692 thyself to work 06213 08800 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068.
21 Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon thee, and will take away 01197 08765 thy posterity 0310, and will cut off 03772 08689 from Ahab 0256 him that pisseth 08366 08688 against the wall 07023, and him that is shut up 06113 08803 and left 05800 08803 in Israel 03478,
22 And will make 05414 08804 thine house 01004 like the house 01004 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, and like the house 01004 of Baasha 01201 the son 01121 of Ahijah 0281, for the provocation 03708 wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger 03707 08689, and made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08686.
23 And of Jezebel 0348 also spake 01696 08765 the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, The dogs 03611 shall eat 0398 08799 Jezebel 0348 by the wall 02426 of Jezreel 03157.
24 Him that dieth 04191 08801 of Ahab 0256 in the city 05892 the dogs 03611 shall eat 0398 08799; and him that dieth 04191 08801 in the field 07704 shall the fowls 05775 of the air 08064 eat 0398 08799.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab 0256, which did sell 04376 08694 himself to work 06213 08800 wickedness 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, whom Jezebel 0348 his wife 0802 stirred up 05496 08689.
26 And he did very 03966 abominably 08581 08686 in following 03212 08800 0310 idols 01544, according to all [things] as did 06213 08804 the Amorites 0567, whom the LORD 03068 cast out 03423 08689 before 06440 the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab 0256 heard 08085 08800 those words 01697, that he rent 07167 08799 his clothes 0899, and put 07760 08799 sackcloth 08242 upon his flesh 01320, and fasted 06684 08799, and lay 07901 08799 in sackcloth 08242, and went 01980 08762 softly 0328.
28 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Elijah 0452 the Tishbite 08664, saying 0559 08800,
29 Seest 07200 08804 thou how Ahab 0256 humbleth 03665 08738 himself before 06440 me? because 03282 he humbleth 03665 08738 himself before 06440 me, I will not bring 0935 08686 the evil 07451 in his days 03117: [but] in his son's 01121 days 03117 will I bring 0935 08686 the evil 07451 upon his house 01004.

1 And they continued 03427 08799 three 07969 years 08141 without war 04421 between Syria 0758 and Israel 03478.
2 And it came to pass in the third 07992 year 08141, that Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 came down 03381 08799 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
3 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799 unto his servants 05650, Know 03045 08804 ye that Ramoth 07433 in Gilead 01568 [is] ours, and we [be] still 02814 08688, [and] take 03947 08800 it not out of the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Syria 0758?
4 And he said 0559 08799 unto Jehoshaphat 03092, Wilt thou go 03212 08799 with me to battle 04421 to Ramothgilead 07433 01568? And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 08799 to the king 04428 of Israel 03478, I [am] as thou 03644 [art], my people 05971 as thy people 05971, my horses 05483 as thy horses 05483.
5 And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428 of Israel 03478, Enquire 01875 08798, I pray thee, at the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 to day 03117.
6 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 gathered 06908 00 the prophets 05030 together 06908 08799, about four 0702 hundred 03967 men 0376, and said 0559 08799 unto them, Shall I go 03212 08799 against Ramothgilead 07433 01568 to battle 04421, or shall I forbear 02308 08799? And they said 0559 08799, Go up 05927 08798; for the Lord 0136 shall deliver 05414 08799 [it] into the hand 03027 of the king 04428.
7 And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 08799, [Is there] not here a prophet 05030 of the LORD 03068 besides 05750, that we might enquire 01875 08799 of him?
8 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799 unto Jehoshaphat 03092, [There is] yet one 0259 man 0376, Micaiah 04321 the son 01121 of Imlah 03229, by whom we may enquire 01875 08800 of the LORD 03068: but I hate 08130 08804 him; for he doth not prophesy 05012 08691 good 02896 concerning me, but evil 07451. And Jehoshaphat 03092 said 0559 08799, Let not the king 04428 say 0559 08799 so.
9 Then the king 04428 of Israel 03478 called 07121 08799 an 0259 officer 05631, and said 0559 08799, Hasten 04116 08761 [hither] Micaiah 04321 the son 01121 of Imlah 03229.
10 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 sat 03427 08802 each 0376 on his throne 03678, having put on 03847 08794 their robes 0899, in a void place 01637 in the entrance 06607 of the gate 08179 of Samaria 08111; and all the prophets 05030 prophesied 05012 08693 before 06440 them.
11 And Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Chenaanah 03668 made 06213 08799 him horns 07161 of iron 01270: and he said 0559 08799, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, With these shalt thou push 05055 08762 the Syrians 0758, until thou have consumed 03615 08763 them.
12 And all the prophets 05030 prophesied 05012 08737 so, saying 0559 08800, Go up 05927 08798 to Ramothgilead 07433 01568, and prosper 06743 08685: for the LORD 03068 shall deliver 05414 08804 [it] into the king's 04428 hand 03027.
13 And the messenger 04397 that was gone 01980 08804 to call 07121 08800 Micaiah 04321 spake 01696 08765 unto him, saying 0559 08800, Behold now, the words 01697 of the prophets 05030 [declare] good 02896 unto the king 04428 with one 0259 mouth 06310: let thy word 01697, I pray thee, be like the word 01697 of one 0259 of them, and speak 01696 08765 [that which is] good 02896.
14 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559 08799, [As] the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, what the LORD 03068 saith 0559 08799 unto me, that will I speak 01696 08762.
15 So he came 0935 08799 to the king 04428. And the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto him, Micaiah 04321, shall we go 03212 08799 against Ramothgilead 07433 01568 to battle 04421, or shall we forbear 02308 08799? And he answered 0559 08799 him, Go 05927 08798, and prosper 06743 08685: for the LORD 03068 shall deliver 05414 08804 [it] into the hand 03027 of the king 04428.
16 And the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto him, How many times 06471 shall I adjure 07650 08688 thee that thou tell 01696 08762 me nothing but [that which is] true 0571 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068?
17 And he said 0559 08799, I saw 07200 08804 all Israel 03478 scattered 06327 08737 upon the hills 02022, as sheep 06629 that have not a shepherd 07462 08802: and the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799, These have no master 0113: let them return 07725 08799 every man 0376 to his house 01004 in peace 07965.
18 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799 unto Jehoshaphat 03092, Did I not tell 0559 08804 thee that he would prophesy 05012 08691 no good 02896 concerning me, but evil 07451?
19 And he said 0559 08799, Hear 08085 08798 thou therefore the word 01697 of the LORD 03068: I saw 07200 08804 the LORD 03068 sitting 03427 08802 on his throne 03678, and all the host 06635 of heaven 08064 standing 05975 08802 by him on his right hand 03225 and on his left 08040.
20 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799, Who shall persuade 06601 08762 Ahab 0256, that he may go up 05927 08799 and fall 05307 08799 at Ramothgilead 07433 01568? And one said 0559 08799 on this manner 03541, and another said 0559 08802 on that manner 03541.
21 And there came forth 03318 08799 a spirit 07307, and stood 05975 08799 before 06440 the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, I will persuade 06601 08762 him.
22 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto him, Wherewith? And he said 0559 08799, I will go forth 03318 08799, and I will be a lying 08267 spirit 07307 in the mouth 06310 of all his prophets 05030. And he said 0559 08799, Thou shalt persuade 06601 08762 [him], and prevail 03201 08799 also: go forth 03318 08798, and do 06213 08798 so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD 03068 hath put 05414 08804 a lying 08267 spirit 07307 in the mouth 06310 of all these thy prophets 05030, and the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765 evil 07451 concerning thee.
24 But Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Chenaanah 03668 went near 05066 08799, and smote 05221 08686 Micaiah 04321 on the cheek 03895, and said 0559 08799, Which way 0335 went 05674 08804 the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 from me to speak 01696 08763 unto thee?
25 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559 08799, Behold, thou shalt see 07200 08802 in that day 03117, when thou shalt go 0935 08799 into an inner 02315 chamber 02315 to hide 02247 08736 thyself.
26 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799, Take 03947 08798 Micaiah 04321, and carry him back 07725 08685 unto Amon 0526 the governor 08269 of the city 05892, and to Joash 03101 the king's 04428 son 01121;
27 And say 0559 08804, Thus saith 0559 08804 the king 04428, Put 07760 08798 this [fellow] in the prison 01004 03608, and feed 0398 08685 him with bread 03899 of affliction 03906 and with water 04325 of affliction 03906, until I come 0935 08800 in peace 07965.
28 And Micaiah 04321 said 0559 08799, If thou return 07725 08799 at all 07725 08800 in peace 07965, the LORD 03068 hath not spoken 01696 08765 by me. And he said 0559 08799, Hearken 08085 08798, O people 05971, every one of you.
29 So the king 04428 of Israel 03478 and Jehoshaphat 03092 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 went up 05927 08799 to Ramothgilead 07433 01568.
30 And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 said 0559 08799 unto Jehoshaphat 03092, I will disguise 02664 08692 myself, and enter 0935 08800 into the battle 04421; but put thou on 03847 08798 thy robes 0899. And the king 04428 of Israel 03478 disguised 02664 08691 himself, and went 0935 08799 into the battle 04421.
31 But the king 04428 of Syria 0758 commanded 06680 08765 his thirty 07970 and two 08147 captains 08269 that had rule over his chariots 07393, saying 0559 08800, Fight 03898 08735 neither with small 06996 nor great 01419, save only with the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains 08269 of the chariots 07393 saw 07200 08800 Jehoshaphat 03092, that they said 0559 08804, Surely it [is] the king 04428 of Israel 03478. And they turned aside 05493 08799 to fight 03898 08736 against him: and Jehoshaphat 03092 cried out 02199 08799.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains 08269 of the chariots 07393 perceived 07200 08800 that it [was] not the king 04428 of Israel 03478, that they turned back 07725 08799 from pursuing 0310 him.
34 And a [certain] man 0376 drew 04900 08804 a bow 07198 at a venture 08537, and smote 05221 08686 the king 04428 of Israel 03478 between the joints 01694 of the harness 08302: wherefore he said 0559 08799 unto the driver of his chariot 07395, Turn 02015 08798 thine hand 03027, and carry me out 03318 08685 of the host 04264; for I am wounded 02470 08717.
35 And the battle 04421 increased 05927 08799 that day 03117: and the king 04428 was stayed up 05975 08716 in his chariot 04818 against 05227 the Syrians 0758, and died 04191 08799 at even 06153: and the blood 01818 ran out 03332 08799 of the wound 04347 into the midst 02436 of the chariot 07393.
36 And there went 05674 08799 a proclamation 07440 throughout the host 04264 about the going down 0935 08800 of the sun 08121, saying 0559 08800, Every man 0376 to his city 05892, and every man 0376 to his own country 0776.
37 So the king 04428 died 04191 08799, and was brought 0935 08799 to Samaria 08111; and they buried 06912 08799 the king 04428 in Samaria 08111.
38 And [one] washed 07857 08799 the chariot 07393 in the pool 01295 of Samaria 08111; and the dogs 03611 licked up 03952 08799 his blood 01818; and they washed 07364 08804 his armour 02185; according unto the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which he spake 01696 08765.
39 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Ahab 0256, and all that he did 06213 08804, and the ivory 08127 house 01004 which he made 01129 08804, and all the cities 05892 that he built 01129 08804, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Israel 03478?
40 So Ahab 0256 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01; and Ahaziah 0274 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
41 And Jehoshaphat 03092 the son 01121 of Asa 0609 began to reign 04427 08804 over Judah 03063 in the fourth 0702 year 08141 of Ahab 0256 king 04428 of Israel 03478.
42 Jehoshaphat 03092 [was] thirty 07970 and five 02568 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427 08800; and he reigned 04427 08804 twenty 06242 and five 02568 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Azubah 05806 the daughter 01323 of Shilhi 07977.
43 And he walked 03212 08799 in all the ways 01870 of Asa 0609 his father 01; he turned not aside 05493 08804 from it, doing 06213 08800 [that which was] right 03477 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068: nevertheless the high places 01116 were not taken away 05493 08804; [for] the people 05971 offered 02076 08764 and burnt incense 06999 08764 yet in the high places 01116.
44 And Jehoshaphat 03092 made peace 07999 08686 with the king 04428 of Israel 03478.
45 Now the rest 03499 of the acts 01697 of Jehoshaphat 03092, and his might 01369 that he shewed 06213 08804, and how he warred 03898 08738, [are] they not written 03789 08803 in the book 05612 of the chronicles 01697 03117 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063?
46 And the remnant 03499 of the sodomites 06945, which remained 07604 08738 in the days 03117 of his father 01 Asa 0609, he took 01197 08765 out of the land 0776.
47 [There was] then no king 04428 in Edom 0123: a deputy 05324 08737 [was] king 04428.
48 Jehoshaphat 03092 made 06213 08804 08675 06240 ships 0591 of Tharshish 08659 to go 03212 08800 to Ophir 0211 for gold 02091: but they went 01980 08804 not; for the ships 0591 were broken 07665 08738 at Eziongeber 06100.
49 Then said 0559 08804 Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 unto Jehoshaphat 03092, Let my servants 05650 go 03212 08799 with thy servants 05650 in the ships 0591. But Jehoshaphat 03092 would 014 08804 not.
50 And Jehoshaphat 03092 slept 07901 08799 with his fathers 01, and was buried 06912 08735 with his fathers 01 in the city 05892 of David 01732 his father 01: and Jehoram 03088 his son 01121 reigned 04427 08799 in his stead.
51 Ahaziah 0274 the son 01121 of Ahab 0256 began to reign 04427 08804 over Israel 03478 in Samaria 08111 the seventeenth 07651 06240 year 08141 of Jehoshaphat 03092 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and reigned 04427 08799 two years 08141 over Israel 03478.
52 And he did 06213 08799 evil 07451 in the sight 05869 of the LORD 03068, and walked 03212 08799 in the way 01870 of his father 01, and in the way 01870 of his mother 0517, and in the way 01870 of Jeroboam 03379 the son 01121 of Nebat 05028, who made Israel 03478 to sin 02398 08689:
53 For he served 05647 08799 Baal 01168, and worshipped 07812 08691 him, and provoked to anger 03707 08686 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, according to all that his father 01 had done 06213 08804.
