KJV

1  Then Moab4124 rebelled6586 against Israel3478 after310 the death4194 of Ahab.256

2  And Ahaziah274 fell down5307 through1157 a lattice7639 in his upper chamber5944 that834 was in Samaria,8111 and was sick:2470 and he sent7971 messengers,4397 and said559 unto413 them, Go,1980 inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron6138 whether518 I shall recover2421 of this disease.4480 2483 2088

3  But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to413 Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go up5927 to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 unto413 them, Is it not because4480 1097 there is not369 a God430 in Israel,3478 that ye859 go1980 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4  Now therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Thou shalt not3808 come down3381 from4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191 And Elijah452 departed.1980

5  And when the messengers4397 turned back7725 unto413 him, he said559 unto413 them, Why4100 are ye now2088 turned back?7725

6  And they said559 unto413 him, There came5927 a man376 up5927 to meet7125 us, and said559 unto413 us, Go,1980 turn again7725 unto413 the king4428 that834 sent7971 you, and say1696 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because4480 1097 there is not369 a God430 in Israel,3478 that thou859 sendest7971 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 thou shalt not3808 come down3381 from4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191

7  And he said1696 unto413 them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came up5927 to meet7125 you, and told1696 413 you 853 these428 words?1697

8  And they answered559 413 him, He was a hairy man,376 1167 8181 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It1931 is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9  Then the king sent7971 unto413 him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went up5927 to413 him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of a hill.2022 And he spoke1696 unto413 him, Thou man376 of God,430 the king4428 hath said,1696 Come down.3381

10  And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to413 the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I589 be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consume398 thee and thy fifty.2572 And there came down3381 fire784 from4480 heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11  Again7725 also he sent7971 unto413 him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 unto413 him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 hath the king4428 said,559 Come down3381 quickly.4120

12  And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 unto413 them, If518 I589 be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consume398 thee and thy fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came down3381 from4480 heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13  And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went up,5927 and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and besought2603 413 him, and said1696 unto413 him, O man376 of God,430 I pray thee,4994 let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 thy servants,5650 be precious3365 in thy sight.5869

14  Behold,2009 there came fire down3381 784 from4480 heaven,8064 and burnt up398 853 the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in thy sight.5869

15  And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 unto413 Elijah,452 Go down3381 with854 him: be not afraid408 3372 of4480 6440 him. And he arose,6965 and went down3381 with854 him unto413 the king.4428

16  And he said1696 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Forasmuch as3282 834 thou hast sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baal-zebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because4480 1097 there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore3651 thou shalt not3808 come down3381 off4480 that bed4296 on which834 8033 thou art gone up,5927 but3588 shalt surely die.4191 4191

17  So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 King4428 of Judah:3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18  Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did6213 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

1 καὶ ἠθέτησεν Μωαβ ἐν Ισραηλ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Αχααβ

2 καὶ ἔπεσεν Οχοζιας διὰ τοῦ δικτυωτοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἠρρώστησεν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς δεῦτε καὶ ἐπιζητήσατε ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐπερωτῆσαι δι᾽ αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς Ηλιου τὸν Θεσβίτην λέγων ἀναστὰς δεῦρο εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀγγέλων Οχοζιου βασιλέως Σαμαρείας καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν Ισραηλ ὑμεῖς πορεύεσθε ἐπιζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων

4 καὶ οὐχ οὕτως ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐκεῖ θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς

5 καὶ ἐπεστράφησαν οἱ ἄγγελοι πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς τί ὅτι ἐπεστρέψατε

6 καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνὴρ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῶν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς δεῦτε ἐπιστράφητε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς καὶ λαλήσατε πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν Ισραηλ σὺ πορεύῃ ζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων οὐχ οὕτως ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ

7 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων τίς ἡ κρίσις τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦ ἀναβάντος εἰς συνάντησιν ὑμῖν καὶ λαλήσαντος πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς λόγους τούτους

8 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνὴρ δασὺς καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περιεζωσμένος τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης οὗτός ἐστιν

9 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡγούμενον πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἰδοὺ Ηλιου ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάλεσέν σε κατάβηθι

10 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ εἰ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ καταβήσεται πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ καταφάγεταί σε καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντά σου καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ προσέθετο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄλλον πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς ταχέως κατάβηθι

12 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ηλιου καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν εἰ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι καταβήσεται πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ καταφάγεταί σε καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντά σου καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ

13 καὶ προσέθετο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἔτι ἀποστεῖλαι ἡγούμενον πεντηκόνταρχον τρίτον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος ὁ τρίτος καὶ ἔκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ κατέναντι Ηλιου καὶ ἐδεήθη αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντιμωθήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ τῶν δούλων σου τούτων τῶν πεντήκοντα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου

14 ἰδοὺ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν τοὺς δύο πεντηκοντάρχους τοὺς πρώτους καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτῶν καὶ νῦν ἐντιμωθήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχὴ τῶν δούλων σου ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου

15 καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν κατάβηθι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέστη Ηλιου καὶ κατέβη μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα

16 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τάδε λέγει κύριος τί ὅτι ἀπέστειλας ἀγγέλους ζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων οὐχ οὕτως ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ

17 καὶ ἀπέθανεν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν Ηλιου

18 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Οχοζιου ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίου λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ισραηλ
καὶ Ιωραμ υἱὸς Αχααβ βασιλεύει ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἔτη δέκα δύο ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλέως Ιουδα
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ὡς ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἀπέστησεν τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βααλ ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτάς πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις οἴκου Ιεροβοαμ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκολλήθη οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν
καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ κύριος εἰς τὸν οἶκον Αχααβ

1 Prævaricatus est autem Moab in Israël, postquam mortuus est Achab.

2 Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos cœnaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et ægrotavit: misitque nuntios, dicens ad eos: Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.

3 Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: Surge, et ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariæ, et dices ad eos: Numquid non est Deus in Israël, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron?

4 Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus: De lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris. Et abiit Elias.

5 Reversique sunt nuntii ad Ochoziam. Qui dixit eis: Quare reversi estis?

6 At illi responderunt ei: Vir occurrit nobis, et dixit ad nos: Ite, et revertimini ad regem qui misit vos, et dicetis ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Numquid quia non erat Deus in Israël, mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron? idcirco de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.

7 Qui dixit eis: Cujus figuræ et habitus est vir ille, qui occurrit vobis, et locutus est verba hæc?

8 At illi dixerunt: Vir pilosus, et zona pellicea accinctus renibus. Qui ait: Elias Thesbites est.

9 Misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem, et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo. Qui ascendit ad eum: sedentique in vertice montis, ait: Homo Dei, rex præcepit ut descendas.

10 Respondensque Elias, dixit quinquagenario: Si homo Dei sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit itaque ignis de cælo, et devoravit eum, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo.

11 Rursumque misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locutus est illi: Homo Dei, hæc dicit rex: Festina, descende.

12 Respondens Elias, ait: Si homo Dei ego sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit ergo ignis de cælo, et devoravit illum, et quinquaginta ejus.

13 Iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo. Qui cum venisset, curvavit genua contra Eliam, et precatus est eum, et ait: Homo Dei, noli despicere animam meam, et animas servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt.

14 Ecce descendit ignis de cælo, et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos, et quinquagenos qui cum eis erant: sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animæ meæ.

15 Locutus est autem angelus Domini ad Eliam, dicens: Descende cum eo: ne timeas. Surrexit igitur, et descendit cum eo ad regem,

16 et locutus est ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Quia misisti nuntios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron, quasi non esset Deus in Israël a quo posses interrogare sermonem, ideo de lectulo super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.

17 Mortuus est ergo juxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est Elias, et regnavit Joram frater ejus pro eo, anno secundo Joram filii Josaphat regis Judæ: non enim habebat filium.

18 Reliqua autem verborum Ochoziæ quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israël?
