all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the mul- titude of Israel that are consumed — and let us send and see.' 14They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Arameans, saying: 'Go and see.' 15And they went after them unto the Jordan; and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16And the people went out, and spoiled the camp of the Arameans So a measure of fine flour was sold SECOND KINGS for a shekel, and two measures of barley 4f or a shekel, according to the word of the LORD. 17And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him. 18And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying: 'Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria'; 19and that captain answered the man of God, and said: 'Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?' and he said: 'Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof; ^it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
Q Now Elisha had spoken unto the ° woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: 'Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn whereso- ever thou canst sojourn; for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years/ 2And the woman arose, and did ac- cording to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3And 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. 4Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying: 'Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done/ 5And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him that was dead, 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, 0 king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.' 6And 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/ 7And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Aram was sick; and it was told him, saying: 'The man of God is come hither.7 8And the king said unto Hazael: ' Take a present in thy hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by Mm, saying; Shall I re- cover of this sickness?' *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 Aram hath sent me to thee, saying: Shall 1 recover of this.sickness?' 10And Elisha said unto him: 'Go, say unto him: Thou shalt surely recdver; howbeit the LORD hath shown me that he shall surely die.' "And he settled his countenance stedfastly upon him, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept. "And Hazael said: 'Why weepeth my lord?' And he answered: 'Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the chil- dren of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child/ 13And Hazael said: 'But what is thy servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?' And SECOND KINGS Elisha answered: "The LOED hath shown me that thou shalt be king over Aram/ 14Then 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 wouldest surely recover.' 15And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehosha- phat being then king of Judah, Je- horam the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 17Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. 19Howbeit the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David His serv- ant's sake, as He promised him to give unto him a lamp and to his children alway. * 20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. ^Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edom- ites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. ^Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, unto this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time. ^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? 24And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. ^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. ^And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was 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. ^And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth- gilead; and the Aram cans wounded Joram. 29And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Q And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him: 'Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 2And 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 oarry him to an inner chamber. 8Then take the vial 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.' ^ the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 6And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said* 'I have an errand to thee, SECOND KINGS 0 captain.' And Jehu said: 'Unto healed in Jezreel of the wounds which which of us all?7 And he said: 'To the Arameans had given him, when he thee, O captain.7 6And he arose, and fought with Hazael king of Aram. — went into the house; and he poured And Jehu said: 'If this be your mind, the oil on his head, and said unto then let none escape and go forth out him- 'Thus saith the LORD, the of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.'

tion of Naboth the Jezreelite. ^And 14So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat it came to pass, when Joram saw the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. — Now Joram had been guard- Jehu, that he said: 'Is it peace, Jehu?7 And he answered: 'What ing Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, peace, so long as the harlotries of thy because of Hazael king of Aram; mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts 15but king a Joram was returned to be are so many?7 ^And Joram turned SECOND KINGS Ms hands, and fled, and said to Aha- ziah: 'There is treachery, 0 Ahaziah.' 2*And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 25Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain: 'Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD pronounced this burden against him: 26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to the word of the LORD/ 27But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu fol- lowed after him, and said: 'Smite him also in the chariot'; [and they smote him] at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 28And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window. ^And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said: 'Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master's -murderer?' ^And he lifted up his face to the window, and said: ' Who is on my side? who?7 And there looked out to him two or three officers. ^And he said: "Throw her j down.' So they threw her down; I and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and she was trodden under foot. MAnd when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said: 'Look now after this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.' ^And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36Wherefore they came back, and told him. And he said: 'This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying: In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel; 37and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say: This is Jezebel.' A Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up [the sons of] Ahab, saying: 2<And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are^with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and armour; 3look ye out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.' 4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: 'Be- hold, the two kings stood not before him; how then shall we stand?' 5And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up the children, sent to Jehu, paying: 'We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king; do thou that which is good in thine eyes.' 6Then he wrote EL letter the second time to them, say- ing: 'If ye be on my side, and if ye SECOND KINGS will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time.' Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up. 7And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel. 8And there came a messenger, and told him, saying* 'They have brought the heads of the king's jsons.' And he said: 'Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.' 9And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people: 'Ye are righteous; behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who smote all these? l°Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD hath done that which He spoke by His servant Elijah.' uSo Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his ^ familiar friends, and his priests, until there was left him none remaining.
^And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way, 33Jehu met with the breth- ren of AJiaziah king of Judah, and said: 'Who are ye?' And they an- swered: 'We are the brethren of .Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the chil- dren pf the queen.' "And he said: 'Take them alive.' And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
15And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coining to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him: 'Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?' And Jehonadab answered: 'It is.' 'If it be, [said JehuJ give me thy hand.' And he gave him Ms hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot. 16And he said: 'Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.' So they made him ride in his chariot. I7And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke to Elijah 18And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them: 'Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much. J9Now therefore call untojrne all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting; for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoso- ever shall be wanting, he shall not live.7 But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 20And Jehu said: * Sanctify a solemn as- sembly for Baal.' And they pro- claimed it. 21And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another. ^And he said unto him that was over the vestry: 'Bring forth vestments for all the wor- shippers of Baal.' And he brought them forth vestments. ^And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal: 'Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of SECOND KINGS SECOND KINGS the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only/ 24And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him four- score men without, and said: t 'If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.'
25And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains: 'Go in, and slay them; let none come forth/ And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. 26And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them. 27And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught- house, unto this day.
28Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 29Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, where- with he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan. 30And the LORD said unto Jehu: 'Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab accord- ing to all that was in My heart, thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel/ 31But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all Ms heart; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
32In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short; and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel. 33from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan. 34Now the rest of the acts of * Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 85And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead. S6And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
1 1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. 2But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Aha- ziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bed-chamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slam. 3And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
4And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son. 5And he commanded them, saying: ' This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, and that keep the watch of the king's house — ^ow another third part was at the gate> Sur, and another third part at the gate behind the guard — shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier. 7And the other two parts of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the SECOND KINGS SECOND KINGS LORD about the king. 8And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when hte cometh in.'
9And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that wore to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. )0And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of the LORD. 11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about. ^Then he brought out the > king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said: 'Long live the king.1 13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the peo- ple, she came to the people into the house of the LORD. 14And she looked, and, behold, the king stood on the platform, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the long; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trum- pets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried: 'Treason, treason.' 15And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword7; for the priest said: 'Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.'
ICSo they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house; and there was she skin.
17And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people. 18And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD. 19And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the' kings. 20So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king's house. •J O Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign. 2In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 3And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD ^ all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 4Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places.
5And Jehoash said to the priests: 'All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, all the money that it cometh into any man's heart to bring into SECOND KINGS the house of the LORD, 6let the priests take it to them, every man from him that bestoweth it upon him; and they shall repair the 'breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found/ 7But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 8Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them: 'Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no longer money from them that bestow it upon you, but deliver it for the breaches of the house/ 9And the priests consented that they should take no longer money from the peo- ple, neither repair the breaches of the house.
10And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the hous6 of the LORD; and the priests that kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought ^ into the house of the LORD. nAnd it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD. 32And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD, 13and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.- 14But there were not made for the house of the LORD cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or ves- sels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD; I5for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. 16Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully. 17The forfeit money, and the sin money, was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was the priests'.
18Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. 19And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
20Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not writ- ten in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 21And his serv- ants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at Beth-millo, on the way that goeth down to Silla. ^For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. ~j Q In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. 2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, SECOND KINGS SECOND KINGS wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 3And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, continually. 4And Jeho- ahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him; for He saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them. — 5And the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the chil- dren of Israel dwelt in their tents, as bef oretime. Nevertheless they de- parted not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein; and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria. — 7For there was not left to Jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing. 8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chron- icles of the kings of Israel? *And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
10In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. uAnd he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, where- with he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein, ^Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 13And Joash slept with his fathers; and ' Jeroboam sat upon his throne; and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
