1 And Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Rise up and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land for seven years.
2 And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God, and went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
4 And the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha has done.
5 And it came to pass as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed a certain chamberlain, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the revenue of the land since the day that she left the country even until now.
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
9 And Hazael went to meet him, and took with him a present, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden; and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
12 And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.
14 And he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to thee? And he said, He told me {that} thou wouldest certainly recover.
15 And it came to pass the next day, that he took the coverlet and dipped {it} in water, and spread it over his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 And he walked 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah.
19 But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him to give him always a lamp for his sons.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
21 And Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled into their tents.
22 But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab at Jizreel, for he was sick.
1 以利沙告诉那妇人（她的儿子曾被以利沙救活）， 说： "你和你全家要动身， 离开这里， 住在你可以寄居的地方， 因为耶和华宣布了将有饥荒， 这饥荒要临到这地七年。"
2 那妇人就动身， 按照神人所说的去作。她和她的全家离去， 住在非利士地七年。
3 七年结束的时候， 那妇人从非利士地回来， 就去为自己的房屋、田产哀求王。
4 那时王正在和神人的仆人基哈西交谈， 说： "请你向我讲述以利沙所作的一切大事。"
5 他正向王讲述以利沙叫死人复活的事的时候； 看哪， 以利沙曾救活她的儿子的那妇人来为她的房屋、田产哀求王。基哈西说： "我主我王， 这就是那妇人了， 她的这个儿子就是以利沙救活的了。"
6 王问那妇人， 她就告诉他一切事。于是王指派一个太监给他， 说： "把所有属于她的， 以及从她离开此地直到现在， 她田地的一切出产都归还她。"
7 以利沙来到大马士革。亚兰王便．哈达患了病。有人告诉他说： "神人来到这里了。"
8 王对哈薛说： "你带着礼物， 去见神人， 托他求问耶和华说： ‘我这病能痊愈吗？’"
9 于是哈薛去见以利沙。他带着礼物， 就是大马士革各样的美物， 由四十匹骆驼驮着， 去站在他的面前， 说： "你的儿子亚兰王便．哈达派我到你这里来， 问你说： ‘我这病能痊愈吗？’"
10 以利沙对他说： "你去告诉他说： ‘你一定会痊愈的’， 但耶和华指示我， 他一定要死。"
11 以利沙定睛看着他， 直到他感到局促不安； 然后， 神人哭了起来。
12 哈薛说： "我主为什么哭起来了？"他回答： "因为我已知道你要对以色列人施行的恶事。他们的城堡， 你要放火焚烧； 他们的年轻人， 你要用刀杀死； 他们的婴孩， 你要摔死； 他们的孕妇， 你要剖开。"
13 哈薛说： "你仆人算什么？不过是一条狗罢了； 怎可以作这样的大事呢？"以利沙说： "耶和华已指示我， 你要作王统治亚兰。"
14 于是他离开以利沙， 回到他主人那里。便．哈达对他说： "以利沙对你说了些什么呢？"他说： "他对我说： ‘你一定痊愈的。’"
15 第二天， 哈薛拿被窝浸在水里， 然后蒙住便．哈达的面， 他就死了； 于是哈薛接续他作王。
16 以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰第五年， 犹大王约沙法还在的时候， 犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰登基作了王。
17 他登基时是三十二岁； 在耶路撒冷作王八年。
18 他照着以色列诸王的道路而行， 好像亚哈家所行的； 因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻， 并且行耶和华看为恶的事。
19 但耶和华因他仆人大卫的缘故不愿毁灭犹大， 却要照他应许大卫的， 赐给他和他的后裔永远有香灯延续。
20 约兰王在位的日子， 以东人反叛， 脱离犹大人的手， 自己立王统治本国。
21 于是约兰过到撒益去， 并且带着他所有的战车。他夜间起来攻击包围他和他的战车军长的以东人， 他的军民却逃回自己的帐棚去了。
22 于是以东人背叛， 脱离犹大人的手， 直到今日； 那时立拿人也同时背叛。
23 约兰其余的事迹和他所行的一切， 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？
24 约兰和他的祖先同睡； 人把他埋葬在大卫城和他的祖先一起； 他的儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
25 以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰在位第十二年， 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢作犹大王。
26 他登基时是二十二岁， 在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母亲名叫亚他利雅， 是以色列王暗利的孙女。
27 他照着亚哈家的道路而行， 行耶和华看为恶的事， 好像亚哈家一样， 因为他是亚哈家的女婿。
28 亚哈谢与亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末， 同亚兰王哈薛交战； 亚兰人击伤了约兰。
29 约兰于是回去， 到耶斯列治伤， 就是当他攻打亚兰王哈薛时， 亚兰人在拉末击伤他的。犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了， 所以下到耶斯列去探望他。
