1. And Elisha said, Hear the Word of Jehovah: So says Jehovah, About this time tomorrow a measure of fine flour will be at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
|
1. Then Elisha H477 said H559 , Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 shall a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 be sold for a shekel H8255 , and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , in the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111 .
|
|
2. And the third officer on whose hand the king leaned replied to the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah would make windows in the heavens, this thing might be. And he said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.
|
2. Then a lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 the king H4428 leaned H8172 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God H430 , and said H559 , Behold H2009 , if the LORD H3068 would make H6213 windows H699 in heaven H8064 , might this H2088 thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes H5869 , but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
|
|
3. And four men, lepers, were at the gate entrance. And they said to one another, Why should we sit here until we die?
|
3. And there were H1961 four H702 leprous H6879 men H376 at the entering in H6607 of the gate H8179 : and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H7453 , Why H4100 sit H3427 we H587 here H6311 until H5704 we die H4191 ?
|
|
4. If we say, We shall go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit here, then we shall die. Therefore now, come and we will fall into the camp of Syria. If they keep us alive, we shall live. And if they kill us, then we die.
|
4. If H518 we say H559 , We will enter H935 into the city H5892 , then the famine H7458 is in the city H5892 , and we shall die H4191 there H8033 : and if H518 we sit H3427 still here H6311 , we die H4191 also. Now H6258 therefore come H1980 , and let us fall H5307 unto H413 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 : if H518 they save us alive H2421 , we shall live H2421 ; and if H518 they kill H4191 us , we shall but die H4191 .
|
|
5. And they rose up in the twilight to go to the Syrian camp. And they came to the edge of the Syrian camp. And, behold, there was not a man there!
|
5. And they rose up H6965 in the twilight H5399 , to go H935 unto H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians H758 : and when they were come H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp H4264 of Syria H758 , behold H2009 , there was no H369 man H376 there H8033 .
|
|
6. For the Lord had caused the Syrian army to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, and a sound of a great army. And they said to one another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites against us, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.
|
6. For the Lord H136 had made H853 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 to hear H8085 a noise H6963 of chariots H7393 , and a noise H6963 of horses H5483 , even the noise H6963 of a great H1419 host H2428 : and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H251 , Lo H2009 , the king H4428 of Israel H3478 hath hired H7936 against H5921 us H853 the kings H4428 of the Hittites H2850 , and the kings H4428 of the Egyptians H4714 , to come H935 upon H5921 us.
|
|
7. And they rose up and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, and the camp as it was. And they fled for their life.
|
7. Wherefore they arose H6965 and fled H5127 in the twilight H5399 , and left H5800 H853 their tents H168 , and their horses H5483 , and their asses H2543 , even the camp H4264 as H834 it H1931 was , and fled H5127 for H413 their life H5315 .
|
|
8. And these lepers came to the edge of the camp, and came into one tent, and ate and drank, and took up from there silver and gold and garments, and went and hid them. And they returned and went into another tent, and took from there, and went and hid them.
|
8. And when these H428 lepers H6879 came H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp H4264 , they went H935 into H413 one H259 tent H168 , and did eat H398 and drink H8354 , and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 silver H3701 , and gold H2091 , and raiment H899 , and went H1980 and hid H2934 it ; and came again H7725 , and entered H935 into H413 another H312 tent H168 , and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 also , and went H1980 and hid H2934 it .
|
|
9. And they said to one another, We are not doing right this day. It is a day of good news, and we are keeping silent. And if we wait until the morning light, then punishment will find us. And now come and we will go and tell the house of the king.
|
9. Then they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H7453 , We H587 do H6213 not H3808 well H3651 : this H2088 day H3117 is a day H3117 of good tidings H1309 , and we H587 hold our peace H2814 : if we tarry H2442 till H5704 the morning H1242 light H216 , some mischief H5771 will come upon H4672 us: now H6258 therefore come H1980 , that we may go H935 and tell H5046 the king H4428 's household H1004 .
|
|
10. And they came in and called to the gatekeeper of the city, and spoke for themselves, saying, We have come to the camp of Syria. And, behold, there is not a man there, nor voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
|
10. So they came H935 and called H7121 unto H413 the porter H7778 of the city H5892 : and they told H5046 them, saying H559 , We came H935 to H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians H758 , and, behold H2009 , there was no H369 man H376 there H8033 , neither voice H6963 of man H120 , but H3588 H518 horses H5483 tied H631 , and asses H2543 tied H631 , and the tents H168 as H834 they H1992 were .
|
|
11. And he called the gatekeepers, and they told the house of the king inside.
|
11. And he called H7121 the porters H7778 ; and they told H5046 it to the king H4428 's house H1004 within H6441 .
|
|
12. And the king rose up by night and said to his servants, Let me show you now that which the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are famished, and they have gone out from the camp to hide in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, then we will catch them alive and we shall come into the city.
|
12. And the king H4428 arose H6965 in the night H3915 , and said H559 unto H413 his servants H5650 , I will now H4994 show H5046 you H853 what H834 the Syrians H758 have done H6213 to us . They know H3045 that H3588 we H587 be hungry H7457 ; therefore are they gone out H3318 of H4480 the camp H4264 to hide themselves H2247 in the field H7704 , saying H559 , When H3588 they come out H3318 of H4480 the city H5892 , we shall catch H8610 them alive H2416 , and get H935 into H413 the city H5892 .
|
|
13. And one of his servants answered and said, Let men take now five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it. Behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have perished. And we will send and see.
|
13. And one H259 of his servants H4480 H5650 answered H6030 and said H559 , Let some take H3947 , I pray thee H4994 , five H2568 of H4480 the horses H5483 that remain H7604 , which H834 are left H7604 in the city, ( behold H2009 , they are as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of Israel H3478 that H834 are left H7604 in it: behold H2009 , I say , they are even as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of the Israelites H3478 that H834 are consumed H8552 :) and let us send H7971 and see H7200 .
|
|
14. And they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent after the Syrian army, saying, Go and see.
|
14. They took H3947 therefore two H8147 chariot H7393 horses H5483 ; and the king H4428 sent H7971 after H310 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 , saying H559 , Go H1980 and see H7200 .
|
|
15. And they went after them to the Jordan. And, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.
|
15. And they went H1980 after H310 them unto H5704 Jordan H3383 : and, lo H2009 , all H3605 the way H1870 was full H4392 of garments H899 and vessels H3627 , which H834 the Syrians H758 had cast away H7993 in their haste H2648 . And the messengers H4397 returned H7725 , and told H5046 the king H4428 .
|
|
16. And the people went out and plundered the Syrian camp. And it happened, a measure of fine flour sold at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the Word of Jehovah.
|
16. And the people H5971 went out H3318 , and spoiled H962 H853 the tents H4264 of the Syrians H758 . So a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 was H1961 sold for a shekel H8255 , and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
17. And the king appointed the third officer over the gate, he on whose hand he leaned. And the people trod him down in the gate, and he died, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke when the king came down to him.
|
17. And the king H4428 appointed H6485 H853 the lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 he leaned H8172 to have the charge of H5921 the gate H8179 : and the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate H8179 , and he died H4191 , as H834 the man H376 of God H430 had said H1696 , who H834 spoke H1696 when the king H4428 came down H3381 to H413 him.
|
|
18. And it happened according to the saying of the man of God to the king, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel; this shall be at this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.
|
18. And it came to pass H1961 as the man H376 of God H430 had spoken H1696 to H413 the king H4428 , saying H559 , Two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , and a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 for a shekel H8255 , shall be H1961 tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 in the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111 :
|
|
19. And the third officer had answered the man of God, and said, And behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, it shall be according to this word. And he said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but you shall not eat from there.
|
19. And that lord H7991 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God H430 , and said H559 , Now, behold H2009 , if the LORD H3068 should make H6213 windows H699 in heaven H8064 , might such H2088 a thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes H5869 , but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
|
|
20. And it happened to him in this way; yea, the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
|
20. And so H3651 it fell out H1961 unto him : for the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate H8179 , and he died H4191 .
