And he spake[H8762] H376unto him, Thou manH430of GodH4428, the kingH1696hath said[H8765] H3381, Come down[H8798] . 10 H452And ElijahH6030answered[H8799] H1696and said[H8762] H8269to the captainH2572of fiftyH376, If I be a manH430of GodH784, then let fireH3381come down[H8799] H8064from heavenH398, and consume[H8799] H2572thee and thy fiftyH3381.

And he arose[H8799] H3381, and went down[H8799] H4428with him unto the king. 16 H1696And he said[H8762] H559unto him, Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH7971, Forasmuch as thou hast sent[H8804] H4397messengersH1875to enquire[H8800] H1176of BaalzebubH430the godH6138of EkronH430, is it not because there is no GodH3478in IsraelH1875to enquire[H8800] H1697of his wordH3381? therefore thou shalt not come down[H8799] H4296off that bedH5927on which thou art gone up[H8804] H4191, but shalt surely[H8800] H4191die[H8799] . 17 H4191So he died[H8799] H1697according to the wordH3068of the LORDH452which ElijahH1696had spoken[H8765] H3088. And JehoramH4427reigned[H8799] H8147in his stead in the secondH8141yearH3088of JehoramH1121the sonH3092of JehoshaphatH4428kingH3063of JudahH1121; because he had no son. 18 H3499Now the restH1697of the actsH274of AhaziahH6213which he did[H8804] H3789, are they not written[H8803] H5612in the bookH1697of the chroniclesH3117 H4428of the kingsH3478of Israel? |
