2 Kings 8
8:1And Elisha spoke to the woman of whom the son was enlivened, saying, Rise up and go, you and your household, and sojourn of which ever place you should want to sojourn! for the lord has called a famine upon the land; and it will be at hand upon the land for seven years.
8:2And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God. And she went and her household, and sojourned in the land of the philistines seven years.
8:3And it came to pass after the end of the seven years, that the woman returned from out of the land of the philistines. And she went to yell to the king on account of her house, and on account of her fields.
8:4And the king spoke to Gehazi the servant of Elisha, the man of God, saying, Describe indeed to me! all the great things which Elisha did.
8:5And it came to pass, of his describing to the king of how he enlivened the son having died, that behold, the woman of whom he enlivened her son came yelling to the king concerning her house and concerning her fields. And Gehazi said, O master, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha enlivened.
8:6And the king asked the woman, and she described to him. And the king appointed to her one eunuch, saying, Return all the things of hers, and all the offspring of her field from the day of which she left the land until the present.
8:7And Elisha came unto Damascus. And the son of Hadad king of Syria was infirm. And they announced to him, saying, The man of God comes unto here.
8:8And the king said to Hazael, Take in your hand a gift, and go for a meeting with the man of God, and seek anxiously of the lord through him, saying, Shall I live from out of this my illness?
8:9And Hazael went to meet him, and he took a gift in his hand of all the good things of Damascus, a tribute of forty camels. And he came and stood before him, and said, Your son, the son of Hadad king of Syria sent me to you, saying, Shall I live from out of this my illness?
8:10And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, To life you shall live! But the lord showed to me that to death he shall die.
8:11And Hazael stood in front of him, and he placed before him the gifts until he was ashamed. And the man of God wept.
8:12And Hazael said, Why is it that my master weeps? And he said that, I have beheld as many things as you shall do to the sons of Israel -- bad things. You will send their fortresses up in fire, and their chosen ones you will kill by broadsword, and their infants you shall dash, and the ones of them having one in the womb you shall tear apart.
8:13And Hazael said, What is your servant, the dog having died, that he will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The lord showed to me you reigning over Syria.
8:14And he went forth from Elisha, and came to his master. And he said to him, What said Elisha to you? And he said, He said to me, To life you shall live.
8:15And it came to pass in the next day, and he took a rag, and he dipped it in water, and put it upon his face, and he died. And Hazael reigned instead of him.
8:16In the fifth year of Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah reigned.
8:17He was a son of thirty and two years old in his taking reign. And eight years he reigned in Jerusalem.
8:18And he went 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 the wicked thing before the lord.
8:19And the lord did not want to corrupt Judah because of David his servant; as he said to give to him the lamp and to his sons all the days.
8:20In his days Edom annulled allegiance from beneath the hand of Judah, and they gave reign to a king over themselves.
8:21And Jehoram ascended into Zair, and all the chariots with him. And it happened as he rose up at night, that he struck Edom circling upon him, and the commanders of the chariots. And the people fled to its tents.
8:22But Edom annulled allegiance from beneath the hand of Judah until this day. Then Libnah annulled allegiance in that time.
8:23And the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all as much as he did, behold are not these written upon the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
8:24And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he is entombed with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Ahaziah his son reigned instead of him.
8:25In the twelfth year of Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
8:26Ahaziah was a son of twenty and two years of age in his taking reign. And he reigned a year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, daughter of Omri king of Israel.
8:27And he went in the way of the house of Ahab, and he did the wicked thing before the lord, as the house of Ahab, for he is son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
8:28And he went with Jehoram son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians struck Jehoram.
8:29And king Jehoram returned to be treated medically in Jezreel from the wounds of which the Syrians struck him in Ramoth Gilead, during his waging war against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah, son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was infirm.
