CHAP. VIII.
After seven years famine foretold
by Eliseus, the Sunamitess
returning home, recovereth
her lands, and revenues.
Eliseus foresheweth
the death of Benadad
king of Syria, and the
reign of Hazael. Joram's
wicked reign in Juda. He
dieth, and his son Ochozias
succeedeth.
1 And Eliseus spoke to
the woman, whose son
he had restored to life, saying:
Arise, and go thou and thy
houshold, and sojourn wheresoever
thou canst find: for the
Lord hath called a famine,
and it shall come upon the
land seven years.
2 And she arose, and did
according to the word of the
man of God: and going with
her houshold, she sojourned
in the land of the Philistines
many days.
3 And when the seven years
were ended, the woman returned
out of the land of the
Philistines, and she went forth
to speak to the king for her
house, and for her lands.
4 And the king talked
with Giezi the servant of the
man of God, saying: Tell
-- --
me all the great things that Eliseus
hath done.
5 And when he was telling
the king how he had raised one
dead to life, the woman appeared,
whose son he had restored
to life, crying to the
king for her house, and her
lands. And Giezi said: My
lord O king, this is the woman,
and this is her son,
whom Eliseus raised to life.
6 And the king asked the
woman: and she told him.
And the king appointed her
an eunuch, saying: Restore
her all that is hers, and all the
revenues of the lands, from
the day, that she left the land,
to this present.
7 Eliseus also came to Damascus,
and Benadad king of
Syria was sick: and they told
him, saying: The man of God
is come hither.
8 And the king said to Hazael:
Take with thee presents,
and go to meet the man of
God, and consult the Lord
by him, saying: Can I recover
of this my illness?
9 And Hazael went to meet
him, taking with him presents,
and all the good things
of Damascus, the burdens of
forty camels. And when he
stood before him, he said:
Thy son Benadad the king of
Syria hath sent me to thee,
saying: Can I recover of this
my illness?
10 And Eliseus said to him:
Go, note tell him: Thou shalt
recover: but the Lord hath
shewed me that he shall surely
die.
11 And he stood with him,
and was troubled so far as to
blush: and the man of God
wept.
12 And Hazael said to
him: Why doth my lord
weep? And he said: Because
I know the evil that thou wilt
do to the children of Israel.
Their strong cities thou wilt
burn with fire, and their
young men thou wilt kill with
the sword, and thou wilt dash
their children, and rip up their
big-bellied women.
13 And Hazael said: But
what am I thy servant a dog,
that I should do this great
thing? And Eliseus said: The
Lord hath shewed me that
thou shalt be king of Syria.
14 And when he was departed
-- --
from Eliseus, he came
to his master, who said to
him: What said Eliseus to
thee? And he answered: He
told me: Thou shalt recover.
15 And on the next day,
he took a blanket, and poured
water on it, and spread it upon
his face: and he died, and
Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 In the fifth year of Joram
son of Achab king of Israel,
note and of Josaphat king
of Juda, reigned Joram son
of Josaphat king of Juda.
17 He was two and thirty
years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned eight
years in Jerusalem.
18 And he walked in the
ways of the kings of Israel,
as the house of Achab had
walked: for the daughter of
Achab was his wife: and he
did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord.
19 But the Lord would not
destroy Juda, for David his
servant's sake, as he had promised
him, to give him a
light, and to his children always.
20 In his days Edom revolted,
from being under Juda,
and made themselves a
king.
21 And Joram came to
Seira, and all the chariots
with him: and he arose in the
night, and defeated the Edomites
that had surrounded
him, and the captains of the
chariots, but the people fled
into their tents.
22 So Edom revolted from
being under Juda, unto this
day. Then Lobna also revolted
at the same time.
23 But the rest of the acts
of Joram, and all that he did,
are they not written in the
book of the words of the days
of the kings of Juda?
24 And Joram slept with
his fathers, and was buried
with them in the city of David,
and Ochozias his son
reigned in his stead.
25 In the twelfth year of
Joram son of Achab king of
Israel, reigned Ochozias son
of Joram king of Juda.
26 Ochozias was two and
twenty years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned
one year in Jerusalem: the
name of his mother was Athalia
the note daughter of Amri
king of Israel.
27 And he walked in the
ways of the house of Achab:
and he did evil before the
-- --
Lord, as did the house of Achab:
for he was the son-in-law
of the house of Achab.
28 He went also with Joram
son of Achab, to fight
against Hazael king of Syria
in Ramoth Galaad, and the
Syrians wounded Joram:
29 And he went back to
be healed, in Jezrahel: because
the Syrians had wounded
him in Ramoth when he
fought against Hazael king of
Syria. And Ochozias the son
of Joram king of Juda, went
down to visit Joram the son of
Achab in Jezrahel, because he
was sick there.
