1:1 | Then Moab <04124> rebelled <06586> (8799) against Israel <03478> after <0310> the death <04194> of Ahab <0256>. |
1:2 | And Ahaziah <0274> fell down <05307> (8799) through a lattice <07639> in his upper chamber <05944> that [was] in Samaria <08111>, and was sick <02470> (8799): and he sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Go <03212> (8798), enquire <01875> (8798) of Baalzebub <01176> the god <0430> of Ekron <06138> whether I shall recover <02421> (8799) of this disease <02483>. |
1:3 | But the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <01696> (8765) to Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>, Arise <06965> (8798), go up <05927> (8798) to meet <07125> (8800) the messengers <04397> of the king <04428> of Samaria <08111>, and say <01696> (8761) unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430> in Israel <03478>, [that] ye go <01980> (8802) to enquire <01875> (8800) of Baalzebub <01176> the god <0430> of Ekron <06138>? |
1:4 | Now therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Thou shalt not come down <03381> (8799) from that bed <04296> on which thou art gone up <05927> (8804), but shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799). And Elijah <0452> departed <03212> (8799). {Thou shalt...: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it} |
1:5 | And when the messengers <04397> turned back <07725> (8799) unto him, he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why are ye now <02088> turned back <07725> (8804)? |
1:6 | And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, There came <05927> (0) a man <0376> up <05927> (8804) to meet <07125> (8800) us, and said <0559> (8799) unto us, Go <03212> (8798), turn again <07725> (8798) unto the king <04428> that sent <07971> (8804) you, and say <01696> (8765) unto him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God <0430> in Israel <03478>, [that] thou sendest <07971> (8802) to enquire <01875> (8800) of Baalzebub <01176> the god <0430> of Ekron <06138>? therefore thou shalt not come down <03381> (8799) from that bed <04296> on which thou art gone up <05927> (8804), but shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799). |
1:7 | And he said <01696> (8762) unto them, What manner <04941> of man <0376> [was he] which came up <05927> (8804) to meet <07125> (8800) you, and told <01696> (8762) you these words <01697>? {What...: Heb. What was the manner of the man} |
1:8 | And they answered <0559> (8799) him, [He was] an hairy <08181> man <01167> <0376>, and girt <0247> (8803) with a girdle <0232> of leather <05785> about his loins <04975>. And he said <0559> (8799), It [is] Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>. |
1:9 | Then the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) unto him a captain <08269> of fifty <02572> with his fifty <02572>. And he went up <05927> (8799) to him: and, behold, he sat <03427> (8802) on the top <07218> of an hill <02022>. And he spake <01696> (8762) unto him, Thou man <0376> of God <0430>, the king <04428> hath said <01696> (8765), Come down <03381> (8798). |
1:10 | And Elijah <0452> answered <06030> (8799) and said <01696> (8762) to the captain <08269> of fifty <02572>, If I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, then let fire <0784> come down <03381> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and consume <0398> (8799) thee and thy fifty <02572>. And there came down <03381> (8799) fire <0784> from heaven <08064>, and consumed <0398> (8799) him and his fifty <02572>. |
1:11 | Again <07725> (8799) also he sent <07971> (8799) unto him another <0312> captain <08269> of fifty <02572> with his fifty <02572>. And he answered <06030> (8799) and said <01696> (8762) unto him, O man <0376> of God <0430>, thus hath the king <04428> said <0559> (8804), Come down <03381> (8798) quickly <04120>. |
1:12 | And Elijah <0452> answered <06030> (8799) and said <01696> (8762) unto them, If I [be] a man <0376> of God <0430>, let fire <0784> come down <03381> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and consume <0398> (8799) thee and thy fifty <02572>. And the fire <0784> of God <0430> came down <03381> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and consumed <0398> (8799) him and his fifty <02572>. |
1:13 | And he sent <07971> (8799) again <07725> (8799) a captain <08269> of the third <07992> fifty <02572> with his fifty <02572>. And the third <07992> captain <08269> of fifty <02572> went up <05927> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) and fell <03766> (8799) on his knees <01290> before <05048> Elijah <0452>, and besought <02603> (8691) him, and said <01696> (8762) unto him, O man <0376> of God <0430>, I pray thee, let my life <05315>, and the life <05315> of these fifty <02572> thy servants <05650>, be precious <03365> (8799) in thy sight <05869>. {fell: Heb. bowed} |
1:14 | Behold, there came <03381> (0) fire <0784> down <03381> (8804) from heaven <08064>, and burnt up <0398> (8799) the two <08147> captains <08269> of the former <07223> fifties <02572> with their fifties <02572>: therefore let my life <05315> now be precious <03365> (8799) in thy sight <05869>. |
1:15 | And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <01696> (8762) unto Elijah <0452>, Go down <03381> (8798) with him: be not afraid <03372> (8799) of him <06440>. And he arose <06965> (8799), and went down <03381> (8799) with him unto the king <04428>. |
1:16 | And he said <01696> (8762) unto him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Forasmuch as thou hast sent <07971> (8804) messengers <04397> to enquire <01875> (8800) of Baalzebub <01176> the god <0430> of Ekron <06138>, [is it] not because [there is] no God <0430> in Israel <03478> to enquire <01875> (8800) of his word <01697>? therefore thou shalt not come down <03381> (8799) off that bed <04296> on which thou art gone up <05927> (8804), but shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799). |
1:17 | So he died <04191> (8799) according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which Elijah <0452> had spoken <01696> (8765). And Jehoram <03088> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead in the second <08147> year <08141> of Jehoram <03088> the son <01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Judah <03063>; because he had no son <01121>. |
1:18 | Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Ahaziah <0274> which he did <06213> (8804), [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>? |
