| 1:Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had
restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and
sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a
famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. |
| |
| 2: And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of
God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the
Philistines seven years. |
| |
| 3:
And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman
returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry
unto the king for her house and for her land. |
| |
| 4: And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God,
saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath
done. |
| |
| 5: And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had
restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had
restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And
Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son,
whom Elisha restored to life. |
| |
| 6: And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king
appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers,
and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land,
even until now. |
| |
| 7:
:And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria
was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
|
| |
| 8: And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand,
and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying,
Shall I recover of this disease? |
| |
| 9: So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even
of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and
stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me
to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? |
| |
| 10: And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest
certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely
die. |
| |
| 11: And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was
ashamed: and the man of God wept. |
| |
| 12: And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered,
Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel:
their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou
slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their
women with child. |
| |
| 13: And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he
should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me
that thou shalt be king over Syria. |
| |
| 14: So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said
to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou
shouldest surely recover. |
| |
| 15: And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick
cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he
died: and Hazael reigned in his stead. |
| |
| 16: And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of
Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of
Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. |
| |
| 17: Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and
he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. |
| |
| 18: And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the
house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in
the sight of the LORD. |
| |
| 19: Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's
sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
|
| |
| 20: In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and
made a king over themselves. |
| |
| 21: So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him:
and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about,
and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
|
| |
| 22: Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day.
Then Libnah revolted at the same time. |
| |
| 23: And 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: And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
|
| |
| 25: In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel
did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. |
| |
| 26: Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign;
and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. |
| |
| 27: And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and
did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab:
for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab. |
| |
| 28: And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against
Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
|
| |
| 29: And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the
wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against
Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went
down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. |
| 1:And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of
the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of
oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead: |
| |
| 2: And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of
Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from
among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber; |
| |
| 3:
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say,
Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open
the door, and flee, and tarry not. |
| |
| 4: So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to
Ramoth-gilead. |
| |
| 5: And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were
sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu
said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. |
| |
| 6: And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil
on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I
have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
|
| |
| 7:
:And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may
avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the
servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. |
| |
| 8: For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off
from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and
left in Israel: |
| |
| 9: And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: |
| |
| 10: And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and
there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. |
| |
| 11: Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one
said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And
he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. |
| |
| 12: And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus
and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed
thee king over Israel. |
| |
| 13: Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it
under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu
is king. |
| 16: And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed
with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by
soothsaying: |
| |
| 17: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the
servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. |
| |
| 18: And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said
to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.
And he came out the same hour. |
| |
| 19: And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they
caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, |
| |
| 20: And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews,
do exceedingly trouble our city, |
| |
| 21: And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to
observe, being Romans. |
| |
| 22: And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates
rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. |
| |
| 23: And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into
prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: |
| |
| 24: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner
prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. |
| |
| 25: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and
the prisoners heard them. |
| |
| 26: And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of
the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every
one's bands were loosed. |
| |
| 27: And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the
prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself,
supposing that the prisoners had been fled. |
| |
| 28: But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we
are all here. |
| |
| 29: Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and
fell down before Paul and Silas, |
| |
| 30: And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
|
| |
| 31: And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house. |
| |
| 32: And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in
his house. |
| |
| 33: And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their
stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. |
| |
| 34: And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them,
and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. |
| |
| 35: And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let
those men go. |
| |
| 36: And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The
magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
|
| |
| 37: But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned,
being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out
privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. |
| |
| 38: And the rjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they
feared, when they heard that they were Romans. |
| |
| 39: And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired
them to depart out of the city. |
| |
| 40: And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia
and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. |
| 1:Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in
thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. |
| |
| 2: And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight
shall no man living be justified. |
| |
| 3:
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life
down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that
have been long dead. |
| |
| 4: Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within
me is desolate. |
| |
| 5: I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I
muse on the work of thy hands. |
| |
| 6: I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after
thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
| |
| 7:
:Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face
from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. |
| |
| 8: Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in
thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I
lift up my soul unto thee. |
| |
| 9: Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to
hide me. |
| |
| 10: Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is
good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
| |
| 11: Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. |
| |
| 12: And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them
that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
