1: And saidH0559 the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 toH0413 Elisha,H0477 SeeH2009 now,H4994 the placeH4725 whereH0834 weH0587 dwellH3427 thereH8033 with youH6440 is too smallH6862 for us.H4480

2: Let us go,H1980 please,H4994 toH5704 the Jordan,H3383 and let takeH3947 from thereH8033 [every] manH0376 beam,H6982 aH0259 and let us makeH6213 there,H8033 a placeH4725 where we may dwell.H3427 ThereH8033 so he answered,H0559 go.H1980

3: And said,H0559 oneH0259 consent,H2974 please,H4994 and to goH1980 withH0854 your servants.H5650 And he answered,H0559 IH0589 will go.H1980

4: So he wentH1980 with themH0854 and when they cameH0935 to the Jordan,H3383 and they cut downH1504 trees.H6086

5: But as wasH1961 oneH0259 cutting downH5307 a tree,H6982 andH0853 the iron [ax head]H1270 fellH5307 intoH0413 the water-H4325 and he cried out,H6817 and said,H0559 Alas,H0162 master!H0113 for itH1931 was borrowed.H7592

6: So said,H0559 the manH0376 of GodH0430 whereH0575 did it fallH5307 and he showed himH7200 -H0853 the place.H4725 So he cut offH7094 a stick,H6086 and threw [it]H7993 in there-H8033 and he made floatH6687 the iron.H1270

7: Therefore he saidH0559 Pick [it] upH7311 so he reached outH7971 his hand,H3027 and took it.H3947

8: Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 becomeH1961 was making warH3898 against Israel,H3478 and he consultedH3289 withH0413 his servants,H5650 saying,H0559 inH0413 a placeH4725 suchH6423 and suchH0492 My camp [will be].H8466

9: And sentH7971 the manH0376 of GodH0430 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 BewareH8104 that you do not passH5674 place-H4725 thisH2088 forH3588 thereH8033 SyriaH0758 is coming down.H5181

10: And sent [someone]H7971 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 the placeH4725 of whichH0834 had toldH0559 the manH0376 of GodH0430 thus he warned himH2094 and he was watchfulH8104 there,H8033 notH3808 [just] one [time]H0259 and notH3808 [just] two [times].H8147

11: Therefore was greatly troubledH5590 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 byH5921 thing-H1697 thisH2088 and he calledH7121 untoH0413 his servants,H5650 and saidH0559 to themH0413 will notH3808 you showH5046 whoH4310 of usH7945 [is] forH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel?H3478

12: and said,H0559 oneH0259 of his servantsH5650 none,H3808 my lord,H0113 king-H4428 butH3588 Elisha,H0477 the prophetH5030 who [is]H0834 in Israel,H3478 tellsH5046 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 the wordsH1697 thatH0834 you speakH1696 inH2315 your bedroom.H4904

13: So he said,H0559 goH1980 and seeH7200 whereH0351 he [is]H1931 that I may sendH7971 and get himH3947 and it was toldH5046 saying,H0559 surely,H2009 [he is] in Dothan.H1886

14: Therefore he sentH7971 thereH8033 horses,H5483 and chariots,H7393 and a army-H2428 greatH3515 and they cameH0935 by night,H3915 and surroundedH5362 onH5921 the city.H5892

15: And when arose early,H7925 the servantH8334 of the manH0376 of GodH0430 was risenH6965 and went out,H3318 and there was,H2009 an armyH2428 surroundingH5437 -H0853 the cityH5892 and with horsesH5483 and chariots.H7393 And saidH0559 his servantH5288 to himH0413 Alas,H0162 my master!H0113 whatH0349 shall we do?H6213

16: so he answered,H0559 not-H0408 do fearH3372 forH3588 more [are]H7227 those who [are]H0834 with usH0854 than those who [are]H0834 with them.H0854

17: And prayed,H6419 ElishaH0477 and said,H0559 Yahweh,H3068 openH6491 I pray,H4994 -H0853 his eyes,H5869 that he may see.H7200 And openedH6491 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the eyesH5869 of the young man-H5288 and he saw-H7200 and behold,H2009 the mountain [was]H2022 fullH4390 of horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of fireH0784 all aroundH5439 Elisha.H0477

18: So when [the Syrians] came downH3381 to himH0413 and prayedH6419 ElishaH0477 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 StrikeH5221 I pray,H4994 -H0853 people,H1471 thisH2088 with blindness.H5575 And He struck themH5221 with blindnessH5575 according to the wordH1697 of Elisha.H0477

19: And saidH0559 to themH0413 ElishaH0477 notH3808 this [is]H2088 the way,H1870 norH3808 [is] thisH2090 the city-H5892 FollowH1980 meH0310 and I will bringH1980 youH0853 toH0413 the manH0376 whomH0834 you seek.H1245 But he ledH1980 themH0853 to Samaria.H8111

20: So it was,H1961 when they had comeH0935 to Samaria,H8111 that said,H0559 ElishaH0477 Yahweh,H3068 openH6491 -H0853 the eyesH5869 of these [men]H0428 that they may see.H7200 And openedH6491 YahwehH3068 -H0853 their eyes,H5869 and they saw-H7200 and there [they were],H2009 insideH8432 Samaria.H8111

21: And he saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Elisha,H0477 when sawH7200 themH0853 shall I kill [them]H5221 shall I kill [them]H5221 My father,H0001

22: but he answered,H0559 notH3808 You shall kill [them]H5221 would those whomH0834 you have taken captiveH7617 with your swordH2719 and your bow?H7198 youH0859 killH5221 SetH7760 foodH3899 and waterH4325 before themH6440 that they may eatH0398 and drink,H8354 and goH1980 toH0413 their master.H0113

23: And he preparedH3739 for themH1992 a feastH3740 greatH1419 and after they ateH0398 and drank,H8354 and he sent them away,H7971 and they wentH1980 toH0413 their master.H0113 So noH3808 moreH3254 againH5750 the bandsH1416 from SyriaH0758 cameH0935 into the landH0776 of Israel.H3478

24: And it came to passH1961 afterH0310 this,H3651 that gatheredH6908 Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 -H0853 allH3605 his army,H4264 and went up,H5927 and besiegedH6696 onH5921 Samaria.H8111

25: And there wasH1961 a famineH7458 greatH1419 in Samaria-H8111 and indeed,H2009 they besiegedH6696 itH5921 untilH5704 was [sold]H1961 a headH7218 of donkeyH2543 for eightyH8084 [shekels] of silver,H3701 and one-fourthH7255 of a kabH6894 of dove droppingsH2755 for fiveH2568 [shekels] of silver.H3701

26: And as wasH1961 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 passing byH5674 onH5921 the wall,H2346 and a womanH0802 cried outH6817 to himH0413 saying,H0559 Help,H3467 my lord,H0113 king.H4428

27: And he said,H0559 notH0408 if does help youH3467 YahwehH3068 whereH0370 can I find help for youH3467 fromH4480 the threshing floor,H1637 orH0176 fromH4480 the winepress?H3342

28: and saidH0559 the kingH4428 whatH4100 and she answered,H0559 womanH0802 thisH2063 saidH0559 to meH0413 GiveH5414 -H0853 your son,H1121 that we may eat himH0398 today,H3117 andH0853 my sonH1121 we will eatH0398 tomorrow.H4279

29: So we boiledH1310 -H0853 my son,H1121 and ate himH0398 and I saidH0559 to herH0413 on the day,H3117 nextH0312 GiveH5414 -H0853 your son,H1121 that we may eat himH0398 but she has hiddenH2244 -H0853 her son.H1121

30: And it came to pass,H1961 when heardH8085 the kingH4428 -H0853 the wordsH1697 of the woman,H0802 that he toreH7167 -H0853 his clothes-H0899 and as heH1931 passed byH5674 onH5921 the wall,H2346 and looked,H7200 the peopleH5971 and there,H2009 [he had] sackclothH8242 onH5921 his bodyH1320 underneath.H1004

31: And he said,H0559 soH3541 doH6213 GodH0430 and alsoH3541 moreH3254 ifH0518 remainsH5975 the headH7218 of ElishaH0477 sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 on himH5921 today.H3117

32: But ElishaH0477 was sittingH3427 in his house,H1004 and the eldersH2205 were sittingH3427 with himH0854 and [the king] sentH7971 a manH0376 ahead of himH6440 but beforeH2962 cameH0935 the messengerH4397 to himH0413 and heH1931 saidH0559 toH0413 the elders,H2205 do you seeH7200 howH3588 has sent someoneH7971 sonH1121 of a murdererH7523 thisH2088 to take awayH5493 -H0853 my head?H7218 Look,H7200 when comes,H0935 the messengerH4397 shutH5462 the door,H1817 and hold fastH3905 himH0853 at the door-H1817 [Is] notH3808 the soundH6963 of feetH7272 of his masterH0113 behind him.H0310

33: And whileH5750 he was still talkingH1696 with themH5973 and there was,H2009 the messengerH4397 coming downH3381 to himH0413 then [the king] said,H0559 surely,H2009 thisH2063 calamity [is]H7451 fromH0853 Yahweh-H3068 [for] whatH4100 should I waitH3176 for YahwehH3068 any longer?H5750
