2 Kings 6

KJV

1  And the sons¹¹²¹ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Elisha,⁴⁷⁷ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ the place⁴⁷²⁵ where^{834 8033} we⁵⁸⁷ dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee is too strait⁶⁸⁶² for⁴⁴⁸⁰ us.

2  Let us go,¹⁹⁸⁰ we pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Jordan,³³⁸³ and take³⁹⁴⁷ thence^{4480 8033} every man³⁷⁶ a²⁵⁹ beam,⁶⁹⁸² and let us make⁶²¹³ us a place⁴⁷²⁵ there,⁸⁰³³ where⁸⁰³³ we may dwell.³⁴²⁷ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye.

3  And one²⁵⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Be content,²⁹⁷⁴ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ thy servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ will go.¹⁹⁸⁰

4  So he went¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ them. And when they came⁹³⁵ to Jordan,³³⁸³ they cut down¹⁵⁰⁴ wood.⁶⁰⁸⁶

5  But as one²⁵⁹ was¹⁹⁶¹ felling⁵³⁰⁷ a beam,⁶⁹⁸² the axe head¹²⁷⁰ fell⁵³⁰⁷ into⁴¹³ the water:⁴³²⁵ and he cried,⁶⁸¹⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁶² master!¹¹³ for it¹⁹³¹ was borrowed.⁷⁵⁹²

6  And the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ Where⁵⁷⁵ fell⁵³⁰⁷ it? And he showed⁷²⁰⁰ him ⁸⁵³ the place.⁴⁷²⁵ And he cut down⁷⁰⁹⁴ a stick,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ it in thither;⁸⁰³³ and the iron¹²⁷⁰ did swim.⁶⁶⁸⁷

7  Therefore said⁵⁵⁹ he, Take it up⁷³¹¹ to thee. And he put out⁷⁹⁷¹ his hand,³⁰²⁷ and took³⁹⁴⁷ it.

8  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ warred³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁴¹³ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ In⁴¹³ such and such^{6423 492} a place⁴⁷²⁵ shall be my camp.⁸⁴⁶⁶

9  And the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Beware⁸¹⁰⁴ that thou pass not^{4480 5674} such²⁰⁸⁸ a place;⁴⁷²⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ thither⁸⁰³³ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ are come down.⁵¹⁸⁵

10  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ which⁸³⁴ the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ told⁵⁵⁹ him and warned²⁰⁹⁴ him of, and saved himself⁸¹⁰⁴ there,⁸⁰³³ not³⁸⁰⁸ once²⁵⁹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ twice.⁸¹⁴⁷

11  Therefore the heart³⁸²⁰ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ was sore troubled⁵⁵⁹⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ thing;¹⁶⁹⁷ and he called^{7121 413} his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Will ye not³⁸⁰⁸ show⁵⁰⁴⁶ me which⁴³¹⁰ of^{4480 7495} us is for⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

12  And one²⁵⁹ of his servants^{4480 5650} said,⁵⁵⁹ None,³⁸⁰⁸ my lord,¹¹³ O king:⁴⁴²⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ Elisha,⁴⁷⁷ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ that⁸³⁴ is in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ telleth⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel^{3478 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ thou speakest¹⁶⁹⁶ in thy bedchamber.^{2315 4904}

13  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and spy⁷²⁰⁰ where³⁵¹ he¹⁹³¹ is, that I may send⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetch³⁹⁴⁷ him. And it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he is in Dothan.¹⁸⁸⁶

14  Therefore sent⁷⁹⁷¹ he thither⁸⁰³³ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots,⁷³⁹³ and a great³⁵¹⁵ host:²⁴²⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and compassed^{5362 5921} the city⁵⁸⁹² about.

15  And when the servant⁸³³⁴ of the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ was risen⁶⁹⁶⁵ early,⁷⁹²⁵ and gone forth,³³¹⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a host²⁴²⁸ compassed^{5437 853} the city⁵⁸⁹² both with horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots.⁷³⁹³ And his servant⁵²⁸⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Alas,¹⁶² my master!¹¹³ how³⁴⁹ shall we do?⁶²¹³

16  And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Fear³³⁷² not:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ they that⁸³⁴ be with⁸⁵⁴ us are more⁷²²⁷ than they that^{4480 834} be with⁸⁵⁴ them.

17  And Elisha⁴⁷⁷ prayed,⁶⁴¹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ open^{6491 853} his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that he may see.⁷²⁰⁰ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ opened^{6491 853} the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the young man;⁵²⁸⁸ and he saw:⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the mountain²⁰²² was full⁴³⁹⁰ of horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots⁷³⁹³ of fire⁷⁸⁴ round about⁵⁴³⁹ Elisha.⁴⁷⁷

18  And when they came down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ him, Elisha⁴⁷⁷ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Smite^{5221 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ people,¹⁴⁷¹ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ with blindness.⁵⁵⁷⁵ And he smote⁵²²¹ them with blindness⁵⁵⁷⁵ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Elisha.⁴⁷⁷

19  And Elisha⁴⁷⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, This²⁰⁸⁸ is not³⁸⁰⁸ the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ is this²⁰⁹⁰ the city:⁵⁸⁹² follow^{1980 310} me, and I will bring¹⁹⁸⁰ you to⁴¹³ the man³⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ ye seek.¹²⁴⁵ But he led¹⁹⁸⁰ them to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

20  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when they were come⁹³⁵ into Samaria,⁸¹¹¹ that Elisha⁴⁷⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ open^{6491 853} the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of these⁴²⁸ men, that they may see.⁷²⁰⁰ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ opened^{6491 853} their eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and they saw;⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they were in the midst⁸⁴³² of Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

21  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Elisha,⁴⁷⁷ when he saw⁷²⁰⁰ them, My father,¹ shall I smite⁵²²¹ them? shall I smite⁵²²¹ them?

22  And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ smite⁵²²¹ them: wouldest thou⁸⁵⁹ smite⁵²²¹ those whom⁸³⁴ thou hast taken captive⁷⁶¹⁷ with thy sword²⁷¹⁹ and with thy bow?⁷¹⁹⁸ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ bread³⁸⁹⁹ and water⁴³²⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, that they may eat³⁹⁸ and drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ their master.¹¹³

23  And he prepared³⁷³⁹ great¹⁴¹⁹ provision³⁷⁴⁰ for them: and when they had eaten³⁹⁸ and drunk,⁸³⁵⁴ he sent them away,⁷⁹⁷¹ and they went¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ their master.¹¹³ So the bands¹⁴¹⁶ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ came⁹³⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ more^{3254 5750} into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ that Ben-hadad¹¹³⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ gathered^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ his host,⁴²⁶⁴ and went up,⁵⁹²⁷ and besieged^{6696 5921} Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

25  And there was¹⁹⁶¹ a great¹⁴¹⁹ famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ in Samaria:⁸¹¹¹ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they besieged^{6696 5921} it, until⁵⁷⁰⁴ an ass's²⁵⁴³ head⁷²¹⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ sold for fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ pieces of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the fourth part⁷²⁵⁵ of a cab⁶⁸⁹⁴ of dove's dung¹⁶⁸⁶ for five²⁵⁶⁸ pieces of silver.³⁷⁰¹

26  And as the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ passing by⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the wall,²³⁴⁶ there cried⁶⁸¹⁷ a woman⁸⁰² unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Help,³⁴⁶⁷ my lord,¹¹³ O king.⁴⁴²⁸

27  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ If the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ do not⁴⁰⁸ help³⁴⁶⁷ thee, whence^{4480 370} shall I help³⁴⁶⁷ thee? out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the barnfloor,¹⁶³⁷ or¹⁷⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the winepress?³³⁴²

28  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, What⁴¹⁰⁰ aileth thee? And she answered,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁶³ woman⁸⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Give^{5414 853} thy son,¹¹²¹ that we may eat³⁹⁸ him today,³¹¹⁷ and we will eat³⁹⁸ my son¹¹²¹ tomorrow.⁴²⁷⁹

29  So we boiled^{1310 853} my son,¹¹²¹ and did eat³⁹⁸ him: and I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her on the next³¹² day,³¹¹⁷ Give^{5414 853} thy son,¹¹²¹ that we may eat³⁹⁸ him: and she hath hid^{2244 853} her son.¹¹²¹

30  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the king⁴⁴²⁸ heard^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the woman,⁸⁰² that he rent^{7167 853} his clothes;⁸⁹⁹ and he¹⁹³¹ passed by⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the wall,²³⁴⁶ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he had sackcloth⁸²⁴² within^{4480 1004} upon⁵⁹²¹ his flesh.¹³²⁰

31  Then he said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ do⁶²¹³ so³⁵⁴¹ and more³²⁵⁴ also³⁵⁴¹ to me, if⁵¹⁸ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Elisha⁴⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphat⁸²⁰² shall stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ him this day.³¹¹⁷

32  But Elisha⁴⁷⁷ sat³⁴²⁷ in his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and the elders²²⁰⁵ sat³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ him; and the king sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a man³⁷⁶ from before^{4480 6440} him: but ere²⁹⁶² the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ him, he¹⁹³¹ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the elders,²²⁰⁵ See⁷²⁰⁰ ye how³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ son¹¹²¹ of a murderer⁷⁵²³ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to take away^{5493 853} mine head?⁷²¹⁸ look,⁷²⁰⁰ when the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ cometh,⁹³⁵ shut⁵⁴⁶² the door,¹⁸¹⁷ and hold him fast^{3905 853} at the door:¹⁸¹⁷ is not³⁸⁰⁸ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of his master's¹¹³ feet⁷²⁷² behind³¹⁰ him?

33  And while he yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ came down³³⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ him: and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ is of^{4480 854} the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ what⁴¹⁰⁰ should I wait³¹⁷⁶ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ any longer?⁵⁷⁵⁰

1 καὶ εἶπον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν πρὸς Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἡμεῖς οἰκοῦμεν ἐνώπιόν σου στενὸς ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν

2 πορευθῶμεν δὴ ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ λάβωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἷς δοκὸν μίαν καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ καὶ εἶπεν δεῦτε

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ εἷς ἐπιεικέως δεῦρο μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου καὶ εἶπεν ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι

4 καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ ἔτεμνον τὰ ξύλα

5 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ εἷς καταβάλλων τὴν δοκόν καὶ τὸ σιδήριον ἐξέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐβόησεν ὦ κύριε καὶ αὐτὸ κεχρημένον

6 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ποῦ ἔπεσεν καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἀπέκνισεν ξύλον καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐπεπόλασεν τὸ σιδήριον

7 καὶ εἶπεν ὕψωσον σαυτῷ καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτό

8 καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ λέγων εἰς τὸν τόπον τόνδε τινὰ ελμωνι παρεμβαλῶ

9 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ελισαιε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων φύλαξαι μὴ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ὅτι ἐκεῖ Συρία κέκρυπται

10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ελισαιε καὶ ἐφυλάξατο ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μίαν οὐδὲ δύο

11 καὶ ἐξεκινήθη ἡ ψυχὴ βασιλέως Συρίας περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι τίς προδίδωσίν με βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ

12 καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐχί κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ ὅτι Ελισαιε ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐν Ισραηλ ἀναγγέλλει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐὰν λαλήσῃς ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τοῦ κοιτῶνός σου

13 καὶ εἶπεν δεῦτε ἴδετε ποῦ οὗτος καὶ ἀποστείλας λήμψομαι αὐτόν καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ἐν Δωθαϊμ

14 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖ ἵππον καὶ ἅρμα καὶ δύναμιν βαρεῖαν καὶ ἦλθον νυκτὸς καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν πόλιν

15 καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λειτουργὸς Ελισαιε ἀναστῆναι καὶ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἰδοὺ δύναμις κυκλοῦσα τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα καὶ εἶπεν τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς αὐτόν ὦ κύριε πῶς ποιήσωμεν

16 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε μὴ φοβοῦ ὅτι πλείους οἱ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν

17 καὶ προσεύξατο Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν κύριε διάνοιξον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ ἰδέτω καὶ διήνοιξεν κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄρος πλῆρες ἵππων καὶ ἅρμα πυρὸς περικύκλῳ Ελισαιε

18 καὶ κατέβησαν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ προσηύξατο Ελισαιε πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν πάταξον δὴ τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ἀορασίᾳ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀορασίᾳ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε

19 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ελισαιε οὐχ αὕτη ἡ πόλις καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδός δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου καὶ ἀπάξω ὑμᾶς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα ὃν ζητεῖτε καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Σαμάρειαν

20 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἄνοιξον δή κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν καὶ διήνοιξεν κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦσαν ἐν μέσῳ Σαμαρείας

21 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὡς εἶδεν αὐτούς εἰ πατάξας πατάξω πάτερ

22 καὶ εἶπεν οὐ πατάξεις εἰ μὴ οὓς ᾐχμαλώτευσας ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σου καὶ τόξῳ σου σὺ τύπτεις παράθες ἄρτους καὶ ὕδωρ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ φαγέτωσαν καὶ πιέτωσαν καὶ ἀπελθέτωσαν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν

23 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς παράθεσιν μεγάλην καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι μονόζωνοι Συρίας τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἤθροισεν υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν Σαμάρειαν

25 καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἰδοὺ περιεκάθηντο ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν ἕως οὗ ἐγενήθη κεφαλὴ ὄνου πεντήκοντα σίκλων ἀργυρίου καὶ τέταρτον τοῦ κάβου κόπρου περιστερῶν πέντε σίκλων ἀργυρίου

26 καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ διαπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους καὶ γυνὴ ἐβόησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα σῶσον κύριε βασιλεῦ

27 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ μή σε σώσαι κύριος πόθεν σώσω σε μὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ἅλωνος ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς ληνοῦ

28 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς τί ἐστίν σοι καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ αὕτη εἶπεν πρός με δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν σήμερον καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν αὔριον

29 καὶ ἡψήσαμεν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ ἐφάγομεν αὐτόν καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φάγωμεν αὐτόν καὶ ἔκρυψεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς

30 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς λόγους τῆς γυναικός διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς διεπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὸν σάκκον ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσωθεν

31 καὶ εἶπεν τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη εἰ στήσεται ἡ κεφαλὴ Ελισαιε ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ σήμερον

32 καὶ Ελισαιε ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκάθηντο μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἄνδρα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ φονευτοῦ οὗτος ἀφελεῖν τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ἄγγελος ἀποκλείσατε τὴν θύραν καὶ παραθλίψατε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ οὐχὶ φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ

33 ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ αὕτη ἡ κακία παρὰ κυρίου τί ὑπομείνω τῷ κυρίῳ ἔτι

1 Dixerunt autem filii prophetarum ad Eliseum: Ecce locus in quo habitamus coram te, angustus est nobis.

2 Eamus usque ad Jordanem, et tollant singuli de silva materias singulas, ut ædificemus nobis ibi locum ad habitandum. Qui dixit: Ite.

3 Et ait unus ex illis: Veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis. Respondit: Ego veniam.

4 Et abiit cum eis. Cumque venissent ad Jordanem, cædebant ligna.

5 Accidit autem ut cum unus materiam succidisset, caderet ferrum securis in aquam: exclamavitque ille, et ait: Heu! heu! heu! domine mi: et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam.

6 Dixit autem homo Dei: Ubi cecidit? At ille monstravit ei locum. Præcidit ergo lignum, et misit illuc: natavitque ferrum,

7 et ait: Tolle. Qui extendit manum, et tulit illud.

8 Rex autem Syriæ pugnabat contra Israël, consiliumque iniit cum servis suis, dicens: In loco illo et illo ponamus insidias.

9 Misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israël, dicens: Cave ne transeas in locum illum: quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt.

10 Misit itaque rex Israël ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei, et præoccupavit eum, et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis.

11 Conturbatumque est cor regis Syriæ pro hac re: et convocatis servis suis, ait: Quare non indicatis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israël?

12 Dixitque unus servorum ejus: Nequaquam, domine mi rex, sed Eliseus propheta qui est in Israël, indicat regi Israël omnia verba quæcumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo.

13 Dixitque eis: Ite, et videte ubi sit, ut mittam, et capiam eum. Annuntiaveruntque ei, dicentes: Ecce in Dothan.

14 Misit ergo illuc equos et currus, et robur exercitus: qui cum venissent nocte, circumdederunt civitatem.

15 Consurgens autem diluculo minister viri Dei, egressus vidit exercitum in circuitu civitatis, et equos et currus: nuntiavitque ei, dicens: Heu! heu! heu! domine mi: quid faciemus?

16 At ille respondit: Noli timere: plures enim nobiscum sunt, quam cum illis.

17 Cumque orasset Eliseus, ait: Domine, aperi oculos hujus, ut videat. Et aperuit Dominus oculos pueri, et vidit: et ecce mons plenus equorum et curruum igneorum in circuitu Elisei.

18 Hostes vero descenderunt ad eum: porro Eliseus oravit ad Dominum, dicens: Percute, obsecro, gentem hanc cæcitate. Percussitque eos Dominus ne viderent, juxta verbum Elisei.

19 Dixit autem ad eos Eliseus: Non est hæc via, neque ista est civitas: sequimini me, et ostendam vobis virum quem quæritis. Duxit ergo eos in Samariam:

20 cumque ingressi fuissent in Samariam, dixit Eliseus: Domine, aperi oculos istorum, ut videant. Aperuitque Dominus oculos eorum, et viderunt se esse in medio Samariæ.

21 Dixitque rex Israël ad Eliseum, cum vidisset eos: Numquid percutiam eos, pater mi?

22 At ille ait: Non percuties: neque enim cepisti eos gladio et arcu tuo, ut percutias: sed pone panem et aquam coram eis, ut comedant et bibant, et vadant ad dominum suum.

23 Appositaque est eis ciborum magna præparatio, et comederunt et biberunt, et dimisit eos, abieruntque ad dominum suum, et ultra non venerunt latrones Syriæ in terram Israël.

24 Factum est autem post hæc, congregavit Benadad rex Syriæ universum exercitum suum, et ascendit, et obsidebat Samariam.

25 Factaque est fames magna in Samaria: et tamdiu obsessa est, donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis, et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis.

26 Cumque rex Israël transiret per murum, mulier quædam exclamavit ad eum, dicens: Salva me, domine mi rex.

27 Qui ait: Non te salvat Dominus: unde te possum salvare? de area, vel de torculari? Dixitque ad eam rex: Quid tibi vis? Quæ respondit:

28 Mulier ista dixit mihi: Da filium tuum, ut comedamus eum hodie, et filium meum comedemus cras.

29 Coximus ergo filium meum, et comedimus. Dixique ei die altera: Da filium tuum, ut comedamus eum. Quæ abscondit filium suum.

30 Quod cum audisset rex, scidit vestimenta sua, et transibat per murum. Viditque omnis populus cilicium quo vestitus erat ad carnem intrinsecus.

31 Et ait rex: Hæc mihi faciat Deus, et hæc addat, si steterit caput Elisei filii Saphat super ipsum hodie.

32 Eliseus autem sedebat in domo sua, et senes sedebant cum eo. Præmisit itaque virum: et antequam veniret nuntius ille, dixit ad senes: Numquid scitis quod miserit filius homicidæ hic, ut præcidatur caput meum? videte ergo: cum venerit nuntius, claudite ostium, et non sinatis eum introire: ecce enim sonitus pedum domini ejus post eum est.

33 Adhuc illo loquente eis, apparuit nuntius qui veniebat ad eum. Et ait: Ecce, tantum malum a Domino est: quid amplius expectabo a Domino?
