It will also come on the land for seven years.”No original language tokens loaded.2The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.3At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.4Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”5As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”6When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to 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.”7Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”8The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”9So 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, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”10Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”11He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.12Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?”13Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?”14Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?”15On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.16In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.17He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.19However, the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.21Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.22So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.23The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?24Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.27He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.28He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.29King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.Previous chapterNext chapter
