1
Now Elisha
spoke
to the woman
whose
son
he had restored to life,
saying,
"Arise
and go
with your household,
and sojourn
wherever
you can sojourn;
for the LORD
has called
for a famine,
and it will even
come
on the land
for seven
years."
2
So the woman
arose
and did
according to the word
of the man
of God,
and she went
with her household
and sojourned
in the land
of the Philistines
seven
years.
3
At the end
of seven
years,
the woman
returned
from the land
of the Philistines;
and she went
out to appeal
to the king
for her house
and for her field.
4
Now the king
was talking
with Gehazi,
the servant
of the man
of God,
saying,
"Please
relate
to me all
the great things
that Elisha
has done."
5
As he was relating
to the king
how
he had restored
to life
the one who was dead,
behold,
the woman
whose
son
he had restored
to life
appealed
to the king
for her house
and for her field.
And Gehazi
said,
"My lord,
O king,
this
is
the woman
and
this
is her
son
,
whom
Elisha
restored
to life
."
6
When the king
asked
the woman,
she related
it to him. So the king
appointed
for her a certain
officer,
saying,
"Restore
all
that was hers and
all
the produce
of the field
from the day
that she left
the land
even until
now."
7
Then Elisha
came
to Damascus.
Now Ben-hadad
king
of Aram
was sick,
and it was told
him, saying,
"The man
of God
has come
here."
8
The king
said
to Hazael,
"Take
a gift
in your hand
and go
to meet
the man
of God,
and inquire
of the LORD
by him, saying,
'Will I recover
from this
sickness?'"
9
So Hazael
went
to meet
him and took
a gift
in his hand,
even every
kind of good thing
of Damascus,
forty
camels'
loads;
and he came
and stood
before
him and said,
"Your son
Ben-hadad
king
of Aram
has sent
me to you, saying,
'Will I recover
from this
sickness?'"
10
Then Elisha
said
to him, "Go,
say
to him, 'You will surely
recover,'
but the LORD
has shown
me that he will certainly
die."
11
He fixed
his gaze
steadily
on him until
he was ashamed,
and the man
of God
wept.
12
Hazael
said,
"Why
does my lord
weep?"
Then he answered,
"Because
I know
the evil
that you will do
to the sons
of Israel:
their strongholds
you will set
on fire,
and their young men
you will kill
with the sword,
and their little ones
you will dash in pieces,
and their women with child
you will rip
up."
13
Then Hazael
said,
"But what
is your servant,
who is but a dog,
that he should do
this
great
thing?"
And Elisha
answered,
"The LORD
has shown
me that you will be king
over
Aram."
14
So he departed
from Elisha
and returned
to his master,
who said
to him, "What
did Elisha
say
to you?" And he answered,
"He told
me that you would surely
recover."
15
On the following day,
he took
the cover
and dipped
it in water
and spread
it on his face,
so that he died.
And Hazael
became king
in his place.
16
Now in the fifth
year
of Joram
the son
of Ahab
king
of Israel,
Jehoshaphat
being then the
king
of Judah
,
Jehoram
the son
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of Judah
became
king
.
17
He was thirty-two
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
eight
years
in Jerusalem.
18
He walked
in the way
of the kings
of Israel,
just
as the house
of Ahab
had done,
for the daughter
of Ahab
became
his wife;
and he did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
19
However, the LORD
was not willing
to destroy
Judah,
for the sake
of David
His servant,
since
He had promised
him to give
a lamp
to him through his sons
always.
20
In his days
Edom
revolted
from under
the hand
of Judah,
and made a king
over
themselves.
21
Then Joram
crossed over
to Zair,
and all
his chariots
with him. And he arose
by night
and struck
the Edomites
who had surrounded
him and the captains
of the chariots;
but his army
fled
to their tents.
22
So Edom
revolted
against
Judah
to this
day.
Then
Libnah
revolted
at the same
time.
23
The rest
of the acts
of Joram
and all
that he did,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Judah?
24
So Joram
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
with his fathers
in the city
of David;
and Ahaziah
his son
became king
in his place.
25
In the twelfth
year
of Joram
the son
of Ahab
king
of Israel,
Ahaziah
the son
of Jehoram
king
of Judah
began to reign.
26
Ahaziah
was twenty-two
years
old
when he became
king
, and he reigned
one
year
in Jerusalem.
And his mother's
name
was Athaliah
the granddaughter
of Omri
king
of Israel.
27
He walked
in the way
of the house
of Ahab
and did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
like the house
of Ahab
had done, because
he was a son-in-law
of the house
of Ahab
.
28
Then he went
with Joram
the son
of Ahab
to war
against
Hazael
king
of Aram
at Ramoth-gilead,
and the Arameans
wounded
Joram.
29
So King
Joram
returned
to be healed
in Jezreel
of the wounds
which
the Arameans
had inflicted
on him at Ramah
when he fought
against
Hazael
king
of Aram.
Then Ahaziah
the son
of Jehoram
king
of Judah
went down
to see
Joram
the son
of Ahab
in Jezreel
because
he was sick.
