When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.

book: 1Kgs

He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place.

book: 1Kgs

He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the LORD’s mouth, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,


book: 1Kgs

but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water;” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”

book: 1Kgs

book: 1Kgs
contenido:
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.


book: 1Kgs

The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to enquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field: for the LORD has spoken it.”’

book: 1Kgs

Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”

As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognised him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”


book: 1Kgs

As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they didn’t find you.


book: 1Kgs

It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that the LORD’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.

Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left as a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.


book: 1Kgs

Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.


book: 1Kgs

You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the LORD’s name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.”
All the people answered, “What you say is good.”


book: 1Kgs

Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”


book: 1Kgs

They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leapt about the altar which was made.


book: 1Kgs

At noon, Elijah mocked them, and said, “Cry aloud; for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.”


book: 1Kgs

They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.


book: 1Kgs

When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.

book: 1Kgs

Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the LORD’s word came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”


book: 1Kgs

With the stones he built an altar in the LORD’s name. He made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two seahs  of seed.


book: 1Kgs

He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.”


book: 1Kgs

He said, “Do it a second time;” and they did it the second time. He said, “Do it a third time;” and they did it the third time.


book: 1Kgs

At the time of the evening offering, Elijah the prophet came near, and said, “LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Hear me, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.”

Then the LORD’s fire fell, and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.


book: 1Kgs

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “The LORD, he is God! the LORD, he is God!”


book: 1Kgs

Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Don’t let one of them escape!”
They seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.

book: 1Kgs

He said to his servant, “Go up now, and look towards the sea.”
He went up, and looked, and said, “There is nothing.”
He said, “Go again” seven times.


book: 1Kgs

On the seventh time, he said, “Behold, a small cloud, like a man’s hand, is rising out of the sea.”
He said, “Go up, tell Ahab, ‘Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn’t stop you.’”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
In a little while, the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The LORD’s hand was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.


book: 1Kgs

But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”


book: 1Kgs

He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The LORD’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.”
Behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.


book: 1Kgs

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.


book: 1Kgs

Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.


book: 1Kgs

He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him, and put his mantle on him.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Elisha left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.”
He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their meat with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.

The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”


book: 1Kgs

The messengers came again, and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;


book: 1Kgs

but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house, and the houses of your servants; whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.’”
The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armour brag like he who takes it off.’”


book: 1Kgs

Ahab said, “By whom?”

He answered, “You.”

Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.


book: 1Kgs

They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.


book: 1Kgs

The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”


book: 1Kgs

He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”


book: 1Kgs

So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.


book: 1Kgs

book: 1Kgs

book: 1Kgs

The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.”
He listened to their voice, and did so.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Syrians filled the country.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys;” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
They encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’”
He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Now the men observed diligently, and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.”
Then he said, “Go, bring him.”
Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.”
“I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.


book: 1Kgs

A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!”
The man refused to strike him.


book: 1Kgs

Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.


book: 1Kgs

So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over, and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent  of silver.’


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.”
The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgement be. You yourself have decided it.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognised that he was one of the prophets.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”


book: 1Kgs

After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”


book: 1Kgs

Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

book: 1Kgs

The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”


book: 1Kgs

When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.


book: 1Kgs

book: 2Kgs

Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”

So he arose, and followed her.


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs

He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs

Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them, and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’”

book: 2Kgs

In this thing may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.”

But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”

He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent  of silver and two changes of clothing.’”


book: 2Kgs

Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.


book: 2Kgs

When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.


book: 2Kgs

But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?”
He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”


book: 2Kgs

He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?

The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place; for the Syrians are coming down there.”

The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.


book: 2Kgs

The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”


book: 2Kgs

One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”


book: 2Kgs

He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.”

book: 2Kgs

When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”


book: 2Kgs

When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.”

book: 2Kgs

Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.


book: 2Kgs

When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.”
The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He prepared a great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab  of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He said, “If the LORD doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From of the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The king said to her, “What is your problem?”
She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah  of fine flour will be sold for a shekel,  and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?”
He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
For the Lord  had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots, and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried away silver, gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah  of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel,  according to the LORD’s word.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs  of barley for a shekel,  and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The 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.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
At 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.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Now 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.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
As 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.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When 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.”


book: 2Kgs

Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”


book: 2Kgs

The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”


book: 2Kgs

So 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?’”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?”
He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?”
Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?”
He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”


book: 2Kgs

On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.

However 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.


book: 2Kgs

Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.


book: 2Kgs

The 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?

book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs

You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.


book: 2Kgs

For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall,  both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.


book: 2Kgs

I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.


book: 2Kgs

The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.


book: 2Kgs

When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?”
He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”


book: 2Kgs

They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.”
He said, “He said to me, ‘The LORD says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”


book: 2Kgs

Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
but king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.”
Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’”
Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’”
Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Joram said, “Get ready!”
They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?”
He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him:


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.


book: 2Kgs

When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?”
Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He said, “Throw her down!”
So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Therefore they came back, and told him.
He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour,


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.”
Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.”
He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”


book: 2Kgs

In the morning, he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”


book: 2Kgs

So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.


book: 2Kgs

He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,


book: 2Kgs

Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?”
They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
He said, “Take them alive!”
They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs

The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison.

and walked in the statutes of the nations whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.


book: 2Kgs

The children of Israel secretly did things that were not right against the LORD their God; and they built high places for themselves in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;


book: 2Kgs

and they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill, and under every green tree;


book: 2Kgs

Yet the LORD testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs
contenido:
They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.

The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs

The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in its cities.

book: 2Kgs

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”


book: 2Kgs

So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

book: 2Kgs

The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs
contenido:
They feared the LORD, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from amongst whom they had been carried away.


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
To this day they do what they did before. They don’t fear the LORD, and they do not follow the statutes, or the ordinances, or the law, or the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;


book: 2Kgs
contenido:
with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;


book: 2Kgs

but you shall fear the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.


book: 2Kgs

The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear other gods.

He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him was no one like him amongst all the kings of Judah, nor amongst them that were before him.

Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”


book: 2Kgs

But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”


book: 2Kgs

book: 2Kgs
contenido:
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”

Who are they amongst all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”


book: 2Kgs

But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”


book: 2Kgs

Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.

When David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the LORD’s covenant is in a tent.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’


book: 1Chr
contenido:
“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.


book: 1Chr

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,


book: 1Chr
contenido:
and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

book: 1Chr

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”


book: 1Chr

Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?


book: 1Chr
contenido:
This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, LORD God.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
What can David say yet more to you concerning the honour which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.


book: 1Chr

LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.


book: 1Chr

LORD, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.


book: 1Chr

What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt?


book: 1Chr

Now, LORD, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.


book: 1Chr

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’


book: 1Chr

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.”
So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents  of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.


book: 1Chr

So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.


book: 1Chr

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.


book: 1Chr

He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River,  with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David was told that; so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold,  and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.


book: 1Chr

After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.


book: 1Chr

book: 1Chr

There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.


book: 1Chr

These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Joab said, “May the LORD make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Joab gave up the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew a sword.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the LORD’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”


book: 1Chr

David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the LORD’s hand; for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”


book: 1Chr

God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, the LORD saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” the LORD’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David lifted up his eyes, and saw the LORD’s angel standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem.
Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then the LORD’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
For the LORD’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
But David couldn’t go before it to enquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the LORD’s angel.


book: 1Chr

Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”


book: 1Chr

Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
But the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of the LORD your God.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents  of gold, one million talents  of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skilful in every kind of work;


book: 1Chr
contenido:
of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
“Isn’t the LORD your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Now set your heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”


book: 1Chr

The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.


book: 1Chr

David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

book: 1Chr

book: 1Chr
contenido:
In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,


book: 1Chr
contenido:
even three thousand talents of gold,  of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents  of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;


book: 1Chr
contenido:
of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to the LORD?”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;


book: 1Chr
contenido:
and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents  and ten thousand darics,  of silver ten thousand talents, of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the LORD’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Yours, LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Both riches and honour come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!


book: 1Chr
contenido:
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;


book: 1Chr
contenido:
and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the LORD your God!”
All the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
They sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,


book: 1Chr
contenido:
and ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the LORD to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
The LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.


book: 1Chr
contenido:
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,


book: 1Chr
contenido:
with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the LORD  his God  was with him, and made him exceedingly great.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the LORD’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the LORD’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honour, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you had, and none after you will have.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty.  They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian  kings.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Behold,  I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skilful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Send me also cedar trees, cypress trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, my servants will be with your servants,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors  of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths  of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you king over them.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Huram continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, and in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David your father.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Now therefore the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house. The length by cubits  after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The porch that was in front, its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, its walls, and its doors with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made the most holy place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were towards the house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty-five cubits height, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Also he made the molten sea  of ten cubits from brim to brim. It was round, five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It received and held three thousand baths.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them. The things that belonged to the burnt offering were washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made the ten lamp stands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
So Huram finished doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God’s house:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Huram his father also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for king Solomon, for the LORD’s house, of bright bronze.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon made all the vessels that were in God’s house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and the lamp stands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans of pure gold. As for the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Thus all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.


book: 2Chr

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and they brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the Levitical priests brought up.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets);


book: 2Chr
contenido:
when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying,
“For he is good;
for his loving kindness endures forever!”
then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands


book: 2Chr
contenido:
(for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits  long, and five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards heaven)


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
that your eyes may be open towards this house day and night, even towards the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray towards this place.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray towards this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands towards this house;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men)


book: 2Chr
contenido:
that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they come and pray towards this house;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray towards their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.


book: 2Chr

“Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshipped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying,
“For he is good;
for his loving kindness endures forever.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence amongst my people;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword amongst all peoples.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’


book: 2Chr
contenido:
They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshipped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume, of them Solomon conscripted forced labour to this day.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the LORD’s ark has come are holy.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD’s altar, which he had built before the porch,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred and fifty talents  of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers also, their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house; there was no more spirit in her.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents  of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees  and precious stones.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
in addition to that which the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels  of beaten gold went to one buckler.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three hundred shekels  of gold went to one shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
There were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. There was nothing like it made in any other kingdom.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
All king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
They each brought tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules every year.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to the LORD.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
After her, he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince amongst his brothers; for he intended to make him king.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance and he sought many wives for them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, and all Israel with him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
In the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valour.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
“But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lamp stand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.


book: 2Chr
