the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. : Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. : And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of

twg_000000004706
Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. : And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. : And the word of the LORD came to Elijah

twg_000000004707
the Tishbite, saying, : Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. : And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus

saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. : And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD. : Behold, I will bring evil

60

twg_000000004710
hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin. : And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. : Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. : But there was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004711
none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. : And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. : And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004712
words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. : And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, : Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in
60

his sons days will I bring the evil upon his house. : And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. : And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. : And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth

60
gutenberg
twg_000000004715
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. : Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it
60

twg_000000004716
into the hand of the king. : And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? : And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth
60

not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. : Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. : And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place
60

in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. : And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them. : And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper:
60

for the LORD shall deliver it into the kings hand. : And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good. :

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak. : So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the

60
gutenberg
twg_000000004722
return every man to his house in peace. : And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? : And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by

twg_000000004724
LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. : Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004725
and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee. : But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? : And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide

60
gutenberg
twg_000000004727
said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. : So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. : And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004728
put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. : But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel. : And it came to pass, when the captains of the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004729
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. : And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. : And a certain man drew a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004730
bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. : And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004731
at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. : And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country. : So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004732
in Samaria. : And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake. : Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004733
that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? : So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. : And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. : Jehoshaphat was thirty and five
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004734
years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. : And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004735
not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. : And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. : Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004736
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. : There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king. : Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber. : Then said Ahaziah
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004737
the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. : And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. : Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004738
Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. : And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: : For he served
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004739
Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. The Second Book of the Kings Commonly Called: The Fourth Book of the Kings : Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. : And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004740
in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. : But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004741
there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? : Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. : And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004742
are ye now turned back? : And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004743
of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. : And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? : And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004744
leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. : Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. : And Elijah
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004745
answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. : Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004746
unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. : And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. : And he sent
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004747
again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. : Behold, there
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004748
came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. : And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004749
he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. : So he died
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004750
according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. : Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004751
of Israel? : And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. : And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004752
I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. : And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. : And Elijah said
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004753
unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. : And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the
60

twg_000000004754
LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. : And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they

gutenberg
twg_000000004755
two went on. : And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. : And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. : And it came
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004756
to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. : And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004757
taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. : And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. : And Elisha saw
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004758
it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. : He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004759
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. : And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004760
spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. : And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast
60

twg_000000004761
him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send. : And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. : And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004762
I not say unto you, Go not? : And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. : And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004763
: And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. : So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004764
he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. : And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004765
And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. : And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria. : Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004766
years. : And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. : Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. : And Mesha king
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004767
of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool. : But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. : And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
60

twg_000000004768
: And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. : And he said, Which way shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004769
we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom. : So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them. : And the king of Israel
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004770
said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab! : But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israels servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004771
poured water on the hands of Elijah. : And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. : And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004772
to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. : And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004773
Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. : But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. : And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. : For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004774
neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. : And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand. : And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004775
and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. : And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. : And when all the Moabites heard
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004776
that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border. : And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood: : And they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004777
said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. : And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country. : And they beat
60

twg_000000004778
down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it. : And when the king of Moab saw that the battle
