2 Kings 8

1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”

And Elisha he spoke to the woman whom he had restored to life son her saying arise and go (you *Q(K)*) and household your and sojourn in where you will sojourn for he has called Yahweh for famine and also it will come to the land seven years.

2 The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.

And she arose the woman and she did according to [the] word of [the] man of God and she went she and household her and she sojourned in [the] land of [the] Philistines seven years.

3 When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.

And it was from [the] end of seven years and she returned the woman from [the] land of [the] Philistines and she went out to cry out to the king concerning house her and concerning field her.

4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”

And the king [was] speaking to Gehazi [the] servant of [the] man of God saying recount! please to me all the great [things] which he has done Elisha.

5 It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”

And he was he recounting to the king this: he had restored to life the dead [one] and there! the woman whom he had restored to life son her [was] crying out for help to the king on house her and on field her and he said Gehazi O lord my the king this [is] the woman and this [is] son her whom he restored to life Elisha.

6 The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”

And he asked the king the woman and she recounted to him and he assigned to her the king a court-official one saying restore all that [belonged] to her and all [the] produce of the field from [the] day [when] she left the land and until now.

7 Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”

And he went Elisha Damascus and Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram [was] sick and it was told to him saying he has come [the] man of God to here.

8 The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

And he said the king to Hazael take in hand your a gift and go to meet [the] man of God and you will consult Yahweh from him saying ¿ will I live from sickness this.

9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

And he went Hazael to meet him and he took a gift in hand his and every good thing of Damascus [the] load of forty camel[s] and he came and he stood before him and he said son your Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram he has sent me to you saying ¿ will I live from sickness this.

10 “Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.

And he said to him Elisha go say (to him *Q(K)*) certainly you will live and he has shown me Yahweh that certainly he will die.

11 Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.

And he set face his and he set until was ashamed and he wept [the] man of God.

12 “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”

And he said Hazael why? [is] lord my weeping and he said for I know this: you will do to [the] people of Israel harm fortifications their you will send in fire and young men their with the sword you will kill and children their you will dash in pieces and pregnant [women] their you will rip open.

13 “But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.

And he said Hazael that what? [is] servant your the dog that he will do the thing great this and he said Elisha he has shown me Yahweh you king over Aram.

14 Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”

And he went - from with Elisha and he came to master his and he said to him what? did he say to you Elisha and he said he said to me certainly you will live.

15 But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.

And it was from [the] next day and he took the coverlet and he dipped [it] in water and he spread [it] out over face his and he died and he became king Hazael in place of him.

16 Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.

And in year five of Joram [the] son of Ahab [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat [was] [the] king of Judah he became king Jehoram [the] son of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah.

17 He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.

A son of thirty and two year[s] he was when became king he and eight (years *Q(K)*) he reigned in Jerusalem.

18 Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.

And he walked in [the] way of - [the] kings of Israel just as they did [the] house of Ahab for [the] daughter of Ahab she became of him a wife and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

19 But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.

And not he was willing Yahweh to destroy Judah for [the] sake of David servant his just as he had said to him to give to him a lamp to sons his all the days.

20 During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.

In days his it rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah and they made king over themselves a king.

21 So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.

And he passed over Joram Zair towards and all the chariotry [was] with him and it was he he arose night and he struck down Edom which was surrounding him and [the] commanders of the chariotry and it fled the people to tents its.

22 As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.

And it has rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah until the day this then it rebelled Libnah at the time that.

23 The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

And [the] rest of [the] matters of Joram and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.

24 Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.

And he lay down Joram with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Ahaziah son his in place of him.

25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.

In year two [plus] ten year of Joram [the] son of Ahab [the] king of Israel he became king Ahaziah [the] son of Jehoram [the] king of Judah.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.

[was] a son of Twenty and two year[s] Ahaziah when became king he and a year one he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Athaliah [the] daughter of Omri [the] king of Israel.

27 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.

And he walked in [the] way of [the] house of Ahab and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh like [the] house of Ahab for [was] [the] son-in-law of [the] house of Ahab he.

28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,

And he went with Joram [the] son of Ahab for battle with Hazael [the] king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead and they wounded [the] Arameans Joram.

29 and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.

And he returned Joram the king to get himself healed in Jezreel from the wounds which they wounded him [the] Arameans at Ramah when fought he with Hazael [the] king of Aram and Ahaziah [the] son of Jehoram [the] king of Judah he went down to see Joram [the] son of Ahab in Jezreel for [was] sick he.
