Jeroboam’s Infidelity

1 Kings 12:26-32

26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “From now on, the kingdom returns to the house of David. 27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, the heart of this people would turn again to Rehoboam, their Lord, king of Judah, and they would kill me and return to Rehoboam, king of Judah.” 28 The king was counselled, made two calves of gold, and said to all of Israel, “Much have you gone up to Jerusalem.” He said, “Behold your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” 29 He set one in Bethel and one he put in Dan. 30 This matter became a sin, and the people went before one as far as Dan. 31 He made houses of high places and made priests from the people who were not of the sons of Levi. 32 Jeroboam made a feast on the eighth month on the full moon on that month like the feast in Judah. He went up upon upon the altar, and so he did in Bethel to sacrifice to the calves he made.

Prophets of Judah

1 Kings 13:1-24

1 There came a prophet of God from Judah by the matter of the Lord to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar to put incense. 2 He yelled against the altar the matter of the Lord and said, “Altar, altar, hear the matter of the Lord. Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, named Josiah. He will sacrifice upon you the priests of the high places who place incense upon you, and he shall burn men’s bones upon you.’” 3 He gave that day a sign and said, “This is the sign the Lord has sent me ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn down, and the ashes upon it shall be cast.’” 4 When the king heard God’s prophet’s words, which he yelled against the altar at Bethel, the king stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him.” Then his hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up, and he could not draw it back to himself. 5 The altar had been torn down, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign the prophet of God gave by the matter of the Lord. 6 The king answered and said to the prophet of God, “Pray for me before the Lord your God and beg for me that my hand may be restored to me.” The prophet of God prayed before the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him and became as it was before. 7 The king said to the prophet of God, “Come with me home and eat, and I will give you a reward.” 8 The prophet of God said to him, “If you give me half your house, I will not enter the house with you and will not eat bread or drink water, 9 because so the Lord commanded me in the matter and said to me, ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way on which you came.’” 10 Then he went another way and did not return by the way on which he came to Bethel. 11 An old prophet was dwelling in Bethel, and his sons came and related to him all the prophet of God did that day in Bethel. The matter he spoke to the king they had related to their father. 12 Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” His sons showed him the way the prophet of God who came from Judah went. 13 He said to his sons, “Saddle the ass for me.” Then they saddled the ass for him, and he rode it. 14 He went after the man of God, found him sitting under an oak, and said to him, “Are you the prophet of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.” 15 He said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” 16 He said to him, “I cannot return with you or come with you. I shall not eat with you bread nor drink water in this place, 17 because it was thus said to me by the matter of God, ‘Do not there eat bread, drink water, nor return by the way on which you came.’” 18 He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel had said to me by the matter of the Lord, ‘Bring him back with you into your house to eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him. 19 Then he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water. 20 As they were sitting at the table, the matter of the Lord was on the prophet who had brought him back, 21 and he cried to the prophet of God who came from Judah and said to him thus, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Since you embittered the word of the Lord’s mouth, did not keep the commandment the Lord your God commanded you, 22 come back, at bread, and drank water where he said to you, “Do not eat bread nor drink water”; because of this, your corpse shall not enter the tomb of your fathers.’” 23 After he ate bread and after he drunk water, he saddled the donkey for the prophet of God. 24 He returned and went. Then a lion found him on the road and killed him. His corpse was thrown in the road, donkey standing beside it and the lion standing beside the corpse.

Ahijah

1 Kings 14:1-11

1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 2 Then Jeroboam said to his wife, “Arise, disguise yourself so they do not know you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. There is Ahijah the prophet, who said to me I should be king over this people. 3 Take in your hands ten loaves, dried fruits, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He is going to tell you what is going to happen to the child.” 4 Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose, went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah. Ahijah could not see anything because his eyes were heavy from his old age. 5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to you to ask of you word about her son who is sick. Thus and thus say to her.” Once she entered, she was disguised. 6 When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she was entering the door, he said to her, “Enter, wife of Jeroboam; why are you disguised? I am sent with heavy things upon you.

7 “Go say to Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: “I lifted you from among the people, made you a shepherd over my people Israel, 8 tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you. Then you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart to do what is beautiful before me. 9 You have done evil more than all before you, went to make for yourself cast gods to enrage me, and have cast me behind your body. 10 For this, behold, I am going to bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam. I will destroy by Jeroboam all who urinate on the wall, both bond and free in Israel, and will pluck them out after the house of Jeroboam, as the vineyard vines are plucked once the harvest is done. 11 The dogs shall eat whoever dies by Jeroboam in the town, and the birds of the sky shall eat whoever dies in the field because the Lord has spoken it.”’

Elijah

1 Kings 17:1-7

1 Elijah from Tishbi, from the residents of Gilead, said to King Ahab, “As the Lord the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there will be in these years dew or rain only when I say.” 2 The matter of the Lord was upon him and said, 3 “Go from here, turn east, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, before the Jordan. 4 You shall be drinking from the wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 5 He went and did according to the matter of the Lord. He went and dwelled by the Wadi Cherith, before the Jordan. 6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the wadi. 7 After some days, the wadis dried up because there was no rain in the land.

Here I commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10 He arose, went to Zarephath, entered the gate of the village, and saw there the widow gathering wood. He called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel I shall drink.” 11 She went to bring it to him, and he called to her and said, “Bring me the bread in your hands.” 12 She said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing but a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a cruse. Look, I am gathering two sticks to go and make it for myself and my son. We will eat then die.” 13 Elijah said to her, “Do not fear. Go and do as you said. Only make me a little cake before, bring it to me, and finally make for yourself and your son. 14 Because thus says the Lord the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be finished, and the cruse of oil shall not lack, until the day the Lord gives rain upon the face of the earth.’” 15 She went and did according to Elijah’s statement; she, he, and the children of her household ate. 16 In those days, the jar of flour was not finish nor did the cruse of oil lack, according to the matter of the Lord he spoke through Elijah.

Healing of the Widow’s Son

1 Kings 17:17-24

17 After these matters, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, became sick. His sickness was so strong that there was no breath left in him. 18 She said to Elijah, “What have you against me, prophet of God? You came to me to recall my debts and kill my son.” 19 He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper chamber, where he lodged, and laid him in the bed. 20 He cried to the Lord and said, “Lord God, have you afflicted this widow with whom I lodge to kill her son?” 21 He stretched over the child three times, cried to Lord, and said, “Lord my God, return this child’s soul within him.” 22 The Lord heard the voice of Elijah, the soul of the child returned inside him, and he lived. 23 Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber to the house, and gave him to his mother. Then Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” 24 She said, “Now I know you are a prophet of God and the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.

Priests of Baal

1 Kings 18:25-29; 36-40

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first because you are many.” 26 They took the bull given them, prepared it, and were calling on the name of Baal from morning until noon “Baal, answer us!” There was no voice now anyone answering. Then they strove against the altar they made. 27 When it was noon, Elijah was mocking them and saying, “Call aloud because he is a god. Is he thinking? Is he performing a thing? Is he on the way? Or is he sleeping and will wake?” 28 They cried aloud and strove according to their custom with swords and lances until their blood spilt upon them. 29 When noon passed, they prophesying until the time of the offering of the sacrifice. Then there was no voice nor anyone answering, nor anyone listening.

36 At the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet neared and said, “Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today you are God in Israel, I am thy servant, and at your statement, I have done all these matters. 37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, and all these people will know you are the Lord God and you have turned their heart back.” 38 The fire of the Lord fell, consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and had licked up the water in the trench. 39 All the people saw it, fell on their faces, and said, “The Lord is God. The Lord is God.” 40 Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. May not one of them be rescued.” They seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

End of Drought

1 Samuel 10:20-27

41 Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink because there is a sound of the rushing of rain.” 42 Ahab went up to eat and to drink, and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, bowed down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. 43 He said to his disciple, “Go up and look at the road to the sea.” He went up, looked, and said, “There is nothing.” He said, “Go again seven times.” 44 At the seventh time he said, “I saw. Look, a little cloud like a man’s palm is rising out of the sea.” Then he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Ride and go down before the rain stops you.’” 45 While he was turning here and there, the sky had girded with clouds and wind and there was a great rain. Then Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. 46 The hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and he girded his loins and ran before Ahab until Jezreel.

Elijah in the Wilderness

1 Kings 19:1-8

1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah did and that he killed slain all the prophets of Baal and the shrines by the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent by a messenger to Elijah and said, “So may the gods do to me and so do more to me if I do not at this time tomorrow make your life as the life of one of them.” 3 Elijah feared, rose, and went to flee for his life. He came to Beer-sheba of Judah and left his disciple there. 4 He had walked in the desert one day’s journey and sat down under an oak tree. He asked for death for himself and said, “It is too much for me now, Lord. Take my life from me because I was not better than my fathers.” 5 He lay down and sunk under the oak tree, and here an angel neared him and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 He turned and saw his pillows. There was at his head a flat loaf and a pitcher of water. And he ate, drank, and lay down again. 7 The angel of the Lord returned a second time, neared him, and said, “Arise and eat because the road is too much for you.” 8 He rose, ate, drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights until the mountain of God, Horeb.

God’s Appearance to Elijah

1 Kings 19:9-18

9 There he entered a cave, spent the night there; and the statement of the Lord was upon him and said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 He said, “I was indeed zealous for the God of hosts; the children of Israel forsook your covenant. They have thrown down your altars and slain your prophets with the sword. I alone remain, and behold, they seek to take my life.” 11 He said to him, “Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord.” Here the Lord had passed, and a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking the rocks before the Lord. The Lord was not in the wind. After the wind was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire was a voice speaking thinly. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak, went out, and stood at the mouth of the cave. There was a voice upon him, and it said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He said, “I was indeed zealous for the mighty Lord God; the children of Israel forsook your covenant. They have thrown down your altars and have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain, and behold, they seek to take my life.” 15 The Lord said to him, “Return, go on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and go anoint Hazael to reign over Adom 16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi to reign over Israel. You shall anoint Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your stead. 17 Jehu shall kill him who escapes from the sword of Hazael, and Elisha shall kill him who escapes from the sword of Jehu. 18 I will spare from Israel seven thousand of every knee that did not bow to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Calling of Elisha

1 Kings 19:10-21

19 He went from there, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, driving a plow with twelve yoke of bulls before him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him. 20 He left the yoke of bulls, ran after Elijah, and said, “I shall go kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what did I do to you?” 21 He returned from following him, took the yoke of bulls, sacrificed them, and boiled their flesh with the bulls’ equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, went after Elijah, and ministered to him.

Naboth

1 Kings 21:1-16

1 It was after these matters, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard, and I shall have it for a vegetable garden because it is near my house. I will give you a better vineyard in its place. Or if it seems good to you, I will give you its price in money.” 3 Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid I give you the inheritance of my fathers.” 4 Ahab went into his house sad and indignant on account of what Naboth the Jezreelite said to him: “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned away his face, and ate no food. 5 Jezebel his wife came and said to him, “Why do you have a sad spirit and do not want to eat bread?” 6 He said to her, “Because I said to Naboth the Jezreelite, ‘Give me your vineyard for money, or if you want, I will give you in its place a better vineyard,’ and he said to me, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’” 7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Are you worthy to be king over Israel? Arise, eat food, and get better. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” 8 She wrote a letter in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his signet, and sent the letter to the elders and the nobles dwelling in the town with Naboth. 9 She wrote in the letter, “Reckon a fast, and seat Naboth at the head of the people. 10 Bring two sons of iniquity and sit them opposite him. They will testify to him and say, ‘Naboth reviled God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.” 11 His town’s elders and nobles dwelling in the town with Naboth did as Jezebel sent to them. As it was written in the letters she sent to them, 12 they reckoned a fast and sat Naboth at the head of the people. 13 They brought two sons of iniquity and sat them opposite him. Those men testified against Naboth and said, “Naboth reviled God and the king.” Then they took him outside the town and stoned him to death with stones. 14 They sent to Jezebel, “Naboth was stoned and is dead.”15 When Jezebel heard Naboth was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he did not wish to sell for money, because Naboth had died and does not live.” 16 When Ahab heard Naboth was dead, Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.

Condemnation of Ahab and Jezebel

1 Kings 21:20-24

20 Ahab said to Elijah, “Did you find me, my enemy?” He said to him, “I found you since you magnified yourself to do what is evil before the Lord. 21 Behold, I am bringing evil upon you; I will pluck after you and will destroy by Ahab everyone who urinates on the wall and who binds and loosens in Israel. 22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah on account of the rage you enraged and you made Israel sin. 23 Also to Jezebel the Lord says, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the inheritance of Jezreel.’ 24 The dogs shall eat anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the town. The birds shall eat anyone of his who dies in the field.”

Death of Ahab

1 Kings 22:35-38

35 The battle strengthened on that day, and the king was standing in his chariot facing Adom. He died in the evening, and the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. 36 The herald had yelled in the camp when the sun set and said, “Every man go to his town, and every man to his land!” 37 The king died and entered Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria. 38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria and had washed the arms. The dogs licked his blood according to the Lord’s word he said.

Condemnation of Ahaziah

2 Kings 1:1-4

1 Moab rebelled against Israel after Ahab died. 2 Ahaziah fell from the porch of his upper room in Samaria and became ill. He sent emissaries and said to them, “Go ask Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, if I am going to recover from this sickness.” 3 The angel of the Lord had said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the emissaries of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘For lack of God in Israel, are you going to ask Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4 Because of this, thus says the Lord, ‘From the bed to which you have gone up you shall not come down, but you shall indeed die.’” Then Elijah went.

Fire from Heaven

2 Kings 1:5-16

5 The emissaries returned to the king, and Ahaziah said to them, “Why have you returned?” 6 They said to him, “A man had come to meet us and said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, “For lack of God in Israel did you send to ask Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Because of this, thus says the Lord, from the bed to which you have gone up you shall not come down, but you shall indeed die.’” 7 He said to them, “What was the appearance of the man who went up to meet you and told you these words?” 8 They said to him, “He wore a garment of haircloth, with a leather belt tied around his loins.” He said to them, “It is Elijah from Tishbi.” 9 The king sent to him a captain of fifty and the fifty with him. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a mountain, and said to him, “Prophet of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’” 10 Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, “If I am a prophet of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and the fifty with you.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and the fifty with him. 11 He again sent upon him another captain of fifty others and fifty with him. He answered and said to him, “Prophet of God, thus says the king, ‘Come down quickly!’” 12 Elijah answered and said to him, “If I am a prophet of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and the fifty with you.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and the fifty with him. 13 The king sent a third captain of a fifty and fifty with him. The captain of fifty went up, kneeled on his knees before Elijah, and was supplicating to him and saying to him, “Prophet of God, value my life and the life of these your fifty servants before you. 14 For here, fire came down from heaven and consumed the two captains of fifty and each of their fifty with them. Now value my life in your eyes.” 15 The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him, and do not fear him.” He arose, went down with him to the king, 16 and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘On account of you having sent emissaries to inquire of Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, out of lack of a God in Israel to ask this matter, for this you shall not come down from the bed you have gone up but shall indeed die.’”

Crossing of the Jordan

2 Kings 2:1-8

1 It was when the Lord was going to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Tarry by me here because the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and your soul lives, I shall not leave you.” And they went down to Bethel. 3 The sons of the prophets in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you not know today the Lord is taking your Lord from your head?” He said, “I also do know it. Silence.” 4 Elijah said to Elisha, “Tarry by me here because the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As the Lord lives and your soul lives, I shall not leave you.” Then they went to Jericho. 5 The sons of the prophets at Jericho approached Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know today the Lord is taking your Lord from your head?” He said, “I also know it. Silence.” 6 Elijah said to Elisha, “Tarry by me here because the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As the Lord lives and your soul lives, I shall not leave you.” Then the two of them went. 7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets had gone and stood before them from a distance, and they had stood by the bank of the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water of the Jordan. It divided one part here and one part there, and the two of them crossed on dry ground.

Assumption of Elijah

2 Kings 2:9-18

9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you until I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “There will be a doubling of your spirit upon me.” 10 He said, “You have asked much. If you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you. If not, it will not be.” 11 It was when they were speaking and talking, here was a chariot of fire and horses of fire. They separated the two of them, Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. 12 Elijah saw, was wailing, and said, “My father, my father! The rider of Israel and his horsemen!” He did not see him again. He grabbed his own clothes and rent them in two pieces.

13 He lifted Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, returned, and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took Elijah’s mantle that had fallen from him, struck the water, and said, “O Lord, the God of my Lord Elijah?” He had also struck the water, and it parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha crossed. 15 The sons of the prophets in Jericho saw ahead and said, “The spirit of Elijah dwells on Elisha.” They came to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. 16 They said to him, “Behold, here with your servants are fifty strong heroes. They will go seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the Lord picked him up and cast him on some mountain or in some valley.” He said, “Do not dispatch.” 17 They contended with him until he was ashamed by them and said, “Dispatch.” They sent fifty men, and they sought him three days and did not find him. 18 They came to him, while he resided at Jericho, and he said to them, “Did I not tell you not to go?”

Water Sweetened

2 Kings 2:19-22

19 Those of the town said to Elisha, “Look, the situation of this city is beautiful as our Lord sees, yet the water is bad and the land is barren.” 20 He said, “Bring me a new bowl, and throw salt in it.” They brought it to him, 21 and he went to the spring of water, threw salt there, and said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I cured this. Never again shall there be there one dying or barren.’” 22 This water was cured to this day, according to the statement Elisha said.

Curse of the Boys

2 Kings 2:23-25

23 He went up from there to Bethel. Going up on the way, boys ahead had come out of the town, were mocking him, and “Go up, baldhead! Go up, baldhead!” 24 He turned his back, saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and ripped forty-two of the boys. 25 He went from there to Mount Carmel and from there again to Samaria.

Multiplication of Oil

2 Kings 4:1-7

1 The wife of one of the prophet’s sons was shouting before Elisha and saying, “Your servant, my husband, has died, and you know your servant feared the Lord. The creditor has come to take my two children for him as slaves.” 2 Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me what have you in the house?” She said, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go ask for vessels from the street from all your neighbors empty vessels. They are not scarce. 4 Go in, shut the door upon yourself and your sons, and pour into all these vessels, and the full vessel set aside.” 5 She went from him, entered, and shut the door upon herself and her sons. They were approaching her, and she was pouring. 6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” He said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stood still. 7 She came and told the prophet of God, and he said to her, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debts, and may you and your sons live on the rest.”

Death of the Shunammite’s Son

2 Kings 4:11-20

8 It was the next day, Elisha came and passed through Shunem. There a great woman there, and she held him to eat bread. Whenever he passed that way, he would turn there to eat bread. 9 She said to her husband, “Look, I know the prophet of God is holy and crosses by us faithfully. 10 We shall set up a small upper chamber, cast for him a bed, table, chair, and lamp, and whenever he comes to us, he will turn there.” 11 One day he came there, turned to the upper chamber, and lay there. 12 He said to Gehazi his disciple, “Call this Shunammite.” He called her, and she stood before him. 13 He said to her, “Look, you have revered us all this reverence. What should be done for you? Is there something to say about you to the king or to the commander of the army?” She said, “It is seemly I dwell among my own people.” 14 He said, “What shall I do for her?” Gehazi said to him, “Truly, she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He said, “Call her.” He had called her, and she stood at the door. 16 He said to her, “At this time, as you live, you are going to embrace a son.” She said, “No, my Lord, prophet of God. Do not lie to your maidservant.” 17 The woman conceived and bore a son this time as she lives according to what Elisha said to her. 18 The child grew and one day went out to his father to the reapers. 19 He said to his father, “My head, my head!” The father said to his boy, “Pick him up and bring him to his mother.” 20 They picked the boy up and brought him to his mother. He sat upon her knees until noon and died.

Raising of the Shunamite’s Son

2 Kings 4:25-37

25 She went to the prophet of God at Mount Carmel. When the prophet of God saw her ahead, he said to Gehazi his disciple, “Look, it is this Shunamite. 26 Now run to meet her. He said to her, “Peace to you, peace to your husband, and peace to the boy.” She said, “Peace.” 27 She came to the prophet of God by the mountain and grasped his feet. Gehazi neared to separate her, and the prophet of God said, “Leave her because her soul is bitter, and the Lord has hidden it from me and not told me.” 28 She said, “Did I ask for a son from my Lord? Did I not tell you not to ask me?” 29 He said to Gehazi, “Gird your loins, take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet a man, do not bless him, and if a man blesses you, do not reply. Lay my staff upon the face of the boy.” 30 The mother of the boy said, “As the Lord and your soul lives, I will not leave you.” He rose and followed her. 31 Gehazi had crossed before them and laid the staff upon the face of the boy, but there was no sound nor one listening. He returned to meet him and told him, “The boy did not awaken.” 32 Elisha came into the house and saw the boy dead and cast on his bed. 33 He went in, shut the door upon the both of them, and prayed to the Lord. 34 He went up, fell above the boy, put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent himself over him, and the boy’s flesh warmed. 35 He returned, walked back and forth into the house, went up, and bent himself over him. The boy yawned seven times, and the boy opened his eyes. 36 He called Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” He called her, she came to him, and he said, “Take up your son.” 37 She fell at his feet, bowed to him on the ground, took up her son, and went out.

Death in the Pot

2 Kings 4:38-44

38 Elisha had walked to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. As sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he said to his disciple, “Put on the hearth a great cauldron, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.” 39 One went out into the field to gather wild herbs, found a vine of the field, gathered from it gourds of the pasture filling his clothes, came, and cast them in the cauldron of pottage because he did not know. 40 He poured it out for the men to eat. When they ate some pottage, they said, “There is death in the cauldron, prophet of God!” And they could not eat it. 41 He said, “Put flour.” They threw it in the cauldron, and he said, “Pour it for the people to eat.” And there was no harm in the cauldron. 42 A man had come from the city of heroes, brought the prophet of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and crushed grain in his towel. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.” 43 But his attendant said, “How do I give this before a hundred men?” Elisha said to him, “Give it to the people to eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44 He set it before them, and they ate and had some left according to the statement of the Lord.

Healing of Naaman

2 Kings 5:9-19

9 Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent him a messenger “Go bathe seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will return upon you and be clean.” 11 Naaman was angry, went away, and said, “I have said coming out to me, he will stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and I would be cured of leprosy. 12 Are not Amnan and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? I go, I bathe in them, I would be clean.” He turned and went in a rage. 13 Then his servants came near and said to him, “Our Lord, if the prophet had told you a great matter, you should have done it. But look, he has told you a small matter ‘Go bathe and be clean.’” 14 Then he went down and bathed in the Jordan seven times, according to the statement of the prophet of God, and his flesh returned like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean. 15 He returned to the prophet of God, he and all his camp, came, stood before him, and said to him, “It is now I know there is no God in all the earth but in Israel. Now take this blessing from your servant.” 16 Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, whom I stood before, I will not take it.” He begged him to take it, and he did not wish to. 17 Naaman said, “If not, I pray you, let there be given to your servant two mules’ load of earth because never again is you servant going to do high sacrifices to another god but the Lord alone. 18 For this wish, the Lord will forgive your servant once my master enters the house of Rimmon to worship there, him leaning on my arms, I shall bow in the house of Rimmon. Once I have bowed in the house of Rimmon, the Lord will forgive your servant for this wish.” 19 He said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went from him about a parsang of land.

Gehazi’s Greed

2 Kings 5:20-27

20 Gehazi, the disciple of Elisha the prophet of God, said, “Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian and did not take from him anything he brought. As the Lord lives, but I will run after him and take something from him.” 21 Gehazi ran after Naaman. Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Do you bring peace?” 22 And he said, “Peace. My master has sent me to say, ‘Now two men from the mountain of Ephraim of the sons of the prophets came. Give them a talent of silver and two festal garments.’” 23 Naaman said, “Please take two talents.” He pressed him, tied up two talents of silver in two cloths and two pairs of garments, and gave them to two of his boys, and they carried them before him. 24 He came to the shelter, took them from them, stored them in the house, and sent the men away, and they went. 25 He had entered and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went neither here nor there.” 26 He said to him, “My heart has shown me when the man came down from his chariot to meet you. This was a time to acquire for yourself money and acquire clothing, olive orchards, vineyards, sheep, bulls, servants, and maids? 27 The leprosy of Naaman shall cleave to you and to your descendants for ever.” Then he went out from before him as a leper white as snow.

1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “This place in which we dwell here before you is constraining for us. 2 Let us go to the Jordan and each man cut a beam and make for us a place to dwell there.” He said, “Go.” 3 One of them answered and said, “If you wish, go with your servants.” He said, “I am going.” 4 Then he went with them, and they came to the Jordan and cut wood. 5 As one was casting a beam, his iron fell into the water, and he wailed and said, “I beg you, my master! It was requested by your servant.” 6 The prophet of God said, “Where has it fallen?” He showed him the place, and he cut a log and threw it in there, and the iron floated. 7 He said, “Lift it up for yourself.” So he stretched his hand and took it.

Famine in Samaria

2 Kings 6:24-31; 7:3-8

24 Afterward Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his camp, went up, camped on Samaria, and fought with her. 25 There was a great famine in Samaria as they were camping on her until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26 The king of Israel had been passing by upon the wall, and a woman was entreating before him and saying, “Save me, my Lord the king!” 27 He said to her, “The Lord will not save you. From where shall I save you? From the threshing floor or from the wine press?” 28 The king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” She said to him, “This woman had said to me, ‘Give your son for us to eat today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him. I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son for us to eat,’ and she has hidden her son.” 30 When the king heard the words of the woman as he was passing by upon the wall, he rent his clothes, and the people saw he was wearing sackcloth on his flesh inside. 31 He said, “May God do so to me and so more to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains upon him today.”

3 There were four lepers sitting outside the wall, and they said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘Let us enter the town,’ the famine is strong in the town, and we die there. If we sit here, we die. But come, let us go to the camp of Aram. If they spare us, we shall live. If they put us to death, we shall die.” 5 They arose at dawn to go to the camp of Aram and came to the edge of the camp, and there was no one there. 6 The Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of horses, of chariots, and of a great army, and each said to the other, “Behold, the king of Israel hired against us the king of the Hittites and the king of Egypt to come upon us.” 7 They rose and fled away at dawn and forsook their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and their camp as it was done, and fled for their lives. 8 These lepers came to the edge of the camp, they entered a tent, ate, drank, took from there silver, gold, and clothing, went, and buried them. They returned, entered another tent, carried from there, went, and buried them.

Death of Ben-hadad

2 Kings 8:7-15

7 Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-hadad the king of Aram had become sick. They told him and said to him, “The prophet of God came here.” 8 The king said to Hazael, “Take in your hand an offering, go meet the prophet of God, ask him for the counsel of God and say to him if I am going to recover from this sickness.” 9 Hazael went to meet him and took an offering in his hand from every good of Damascus, forty camel loads. He came, stood before him, and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you to say, ‘Am I going to survive this sickness?’” 10 Elisha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You will indeed live? The Lord showed me you will indeed die.” 11 The prophet of God wept. 12 Hazael said, “For what does my Lord weep?” Elisha said to him, “I know the evil you do to the children of Israel; you set fire to their fortresses, kill their adolescents by the sword, dash their children, and tear their pregnant.” 13 Hazael said, “What is your servant, reckoned a dog, that he should do this great matter?” Elisha said to him, “The Lord showed me you are king over Aram.” 14 Hazael came from Elisha and went to his master, and his master said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He said to him, “Thus he told me you indeed will survive.” 15 The day after, Hazael took the cassock, dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, and he died. Hazael reigned after him.

Death of Jezabel

2 Kings 9:30-37

30 Jehu came to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard. She kohled her eyes with antimony, bound her head, and looked out of the window. 31 As Jehu was entering the gate, she said, “Peace, Zimri, killer of his master.” 32 He lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is with me?” Two or three loyalists appeared to him. 33 He said, “Tear her down.” They tore her down. Then some of her blood sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled on her. 34 He went in, ate, drank, and said, “See to this cursed one and bury her because she is the king’s daughter.” 35 They went to bury her, and found no more of her than the skull, feet, and palms of her hands. 36 They returned and told him, and he said, “It is the matter of the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah from Tishbi, ‘In the inheritance of Jezreel, the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel. 37 The corpse of Jezebel is like dung upon the face of the earth in the inheritance of Jezreel, and there are none who bury who do not say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

Destruction of House of Ahab

2 Kings 10:11-17

11 Jehu laid waste to all found by the house of Ahab in Jezreel, all his captains, his relatives, and his priests, until he left him none remaining. 12 He rose, went, and entered Samaria as he was uprooting the high altars on the road. 13 Jehu had found the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and said, “Who are you?” They said to him, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we came down for the peace of the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.” 14 He said, “Seize them alive.” And they seized them, slew them, and threw them in the pit of Beth-eked forty-two men. He spared none of them. 15 He went from there, found Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, blessed him, and said to him, “Does your heart have rectitude as my heart has with your heart?” Jehonadab said, “It does. It does.” He said to him, “Give your hand.” He gave his hand, and he took him up by him into the chariot. 16 He said to him, “Come with me, and see I zeal for the Lord.” He sat him with him in the chariot. 17 He entered Samaria, slew all that remained in the house of Ahab in Samaria until he destroyed them according to the matter the Lord spoke to Elijah.

Destruction of House of Baal

2 Kings 10:23-27

23 Jehu entered the house of Baal along with Jehonadab the son of Rechab and said to the servers of Baal, “Search and see whether there is with you here some servants of the Lord or if there are only the servants of Baal.” 24 Then they entered to perform sacrifices and burnt offerings. Jehu had stationed outside three hundred and eighty men and said, “As for the man who releases any whom I betray to you, his life for his life.” 25 When he finished performing the burnt offering, Jehu said to the couriers and heroes, “Enter and lay waste to them, and may no one escape.” They laid waste to them by the mouth of the sword, and the couriers and heroes cast them out and went as far as the village of the house of Baal. 26 They brought out the pillar in the house of Baal and set fire to it. 27 They uprooted the pillar of Baal, uprooted the house of Baal, and made it a latrine to this day.

Reign of Ahziah

2 Kings 11:1-4, 13-16

1 Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah had seen her son was dead, rose, and destroyed every descendent of the kingdom. 2 Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, stole him away from among the king’s sons to be killed, and hid him and his nurse in a bedchamber. She hid him from Athaliah, and he did not die. 3 He was with her in the house of the Lord hidden six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land. 4 In the seventh year, Jehoida sent for and brought the centurions, couriers, and postmen, and made them enter the house of the Lord. He established a convenant with them, swore with them oaths in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s son.

13 Athaliah heard the sound of the people’s tumult and the people rejoicing. She came to the people at the house of the Lord. 14 She saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom of kings, the captains and the trumpeters standing before the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Athaliah rent her clothes and cried out, “Revolt! Revolt!” 15 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the centurions in charge of the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks and may everyone who enters after her be killed by the sword because the priest said, ‘May she not be killed in the house of the Lord.’” 16 He set her in place, and she entered by the way of the entrance of the king’s horses and died there.

Arrow of Salvation

2 Kings 13:14-21

14 Elisha had fallen ill with the illness by which he would die, and Joash king of Israel went down to him, wept upon his face, and said, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” 15 Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows,” and he took a bow and arrows. 16 He said to the king of Israel, “Set your hand upon the bow,” and he set his hand. Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands 17 and said, “Open the window to the east,” and he opened it. Then Elisha said to him, “Shoot,” and he shot the arrow. He said, “The arrow of salvation for the Lord and the arrow of salvation by Edom! You shall strike the Edomites in Aphek until you have finished them.” 18 He said to him, “Take the arrow,” and he took them. Then he said, “Strike the ground with them,” and he struck three times and stopped. 19 The prophet of God enraged at him and said, “By striking five or six times, then you would strike the Edomites until you finished them. Now you shall strike Edom three times.” 20 Elisha died, and they buried him. The bands of Moab had come upon the land in that year. 21 When they were burying a man, they saw the gangs and cast them man in the grave of Elisha. The man went and approached the bones of Elisha, revived, and stood on his feet.

Call of Jonah

Jonah 1:1-7

1 The statement of the Lord was upon Jonah the son of Matthew to say: 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach about it because their evil has come up before me.” 3 Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from before the Lord, went down to Joppa, and found a ship entering Tarshish. He gave the fare, went up to enter with to Tarshish to flee from before the Lord. 4 The Lord had thrown a great wind on the sea. There was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was about to be destroyed. 5 The sailors feared, and everyone bellowed to his god. They cast the wares from the ship into the sea to lighten it from them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and slept. 6 The captain drew near to him and said to him, “How are you sleeping? Arise, call upon your god! Perhaps the god will deliver us and we will not persish.” 7 They said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots and know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” Then they cast lots, and Jonah’s lot came up.

Jonah in the Fish

Jonah 1:12-17

12 Jonah said to them, “Take me and cast me into the sea, and the sea will calm for you because I know this great tempest because of me is upon you.” 13 Some of them struggled to return to dry land and could not, because the sea was going and troubling upon them. 14 They cried to the Lord and said, “O Lord, may we not perish for this man’s life, and lay not on us innocent blood; because you are the Lord and do what you wish.” 15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its storms. 16 Some of them feared the Lord greatly, offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and made vows. 17 The Lord prepared a great fish, it swallowed Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah Freed

Jonah 2:1-10

1 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish and said, 2 “I called the Lord in my distress, and he answered me. From the belly of Sheol I have bellowed, and you heard my voice. 3 You cast me in the deep, into the heart of the sea. The river around me, all your storms and waves had passed over me. 4 Then I said, ‘I am far from your eyes. Henceforth, I no longer see your holy temple.’ 5 The waters surrounded me unto the soul. The abyss has circled me, and in the bottom of the sea, my head is imprisoned. 6 I have gone down to the base of the mountains. The earth has shut its lock in my face forever. You brought me alive from corruption, Lord my God. 7 When my soul was afflicted, I have remembered the Lord, and my prayer entered before you into your holy temple. 8 All who keep vain idols forsake your mercy. 9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you, and what I have vowed I shall complete retribution to the Lord.” 10 The Lord commanded the fish, and it ejected Jonah upon the dry land.

Repentance of Nineveh

Jonah 3:4-10

4 Jonah began to enter the city, a day’s journey, proclaimed and said, “Within forty days Nineveh is overthrown!” 5 The people of Nineveh were faithful to God, decreed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them to the least of them. 6 Word reached the king of Nineveh, and he rose from his throne, took off his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 He proclaimed and said in Nineveh, “By the command of the king and his chiefs, may neither man, beast, cattle, nor flocks taste anything. May they neither feed nor drink water. 8 But may man and beast be covered with sackcloth and call to God in a groan. Man will turn from his evil way and from the violence in his hands. 9 Who knows if God turns away, has mercy on us, and reverts from us the wrath of his rage so we do not perish?” 10 God saw their deeds, how they repented from their evil ways, reverted from the wrath of his rage, and did not destroy them.

1 It saddened Jonah a great sadness and distressed him well. 2 He prayed before the Lord and said, “O Lord! Was this not my word when I was in my land? For this I had fled before to Tarshish, for I knew you are a merciful and compassionate God, patient, with much goodness, and converting evil. 3 Henceforth, my Lord, take my life from me because it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 The Lord said, “Is it good you are saddened?” 5 Jonah went out of the city, sat down east of the city, and made for himself a tent there. He sat under it in the shade to see what would happen to the city. 6 The Lord God commanded the shoot of a gourd, and it sprouted and went over Jonah. There was shade over his head, and it relieved him from his evil, and Jonah rejoiced in the gourd shoot a great joy. 7 On the next day, the Lord God commanded a worm at morning’s rise, and it struck the gourd shoot and cut it. 8 When the sun descended, the Lord God commanded a sultry wind. It dried the gourd, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head. He was shaken, asked death for himself, and said, “I come into your hands, Lord, to take my life from me because I am not better than my fathers.” 9 Then the Lord said, “It has saddened you much about the gourd shoot?” Jonah said, “It has saddened me so much unto death.” 10 The Lord said to him, “You have mercy on a gourd shoot in which you did not toil and did not grow. On the same night it sprouted and on the same night it withered. 11 Then should I not have mercy on Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than a twelve thousand people, who do not know between their right and left, and many beasts?”

Amnon and Tamar

2 Samuel 13:1-22

1 Later David’s son Absalom had a sister named Tamar, and David’s son Amnon fell in love with her. 2 Amnon was tormented at his sister Tamar’s face, who was a virgin, and Ammon could not say anything to her. 3 Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, son of David’s brother Shimeah, and Jonadab was a very wise man. 4 He said to him, “Ammon, son of the king, why do you go thus morning after morning? You do not tell me.” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” 5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill. Once your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘My sister Tamar will come and feed me bread. She will make them into hearts for me so that I see it and eat it from her hand.’” 6 Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. The king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, “My sister Tamar will come to me and make in my sight two hearts, and I shall eat from her hand.” 7 David sent for Tamar and said to her, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house and make him food.” 8 Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house. He was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, and made hearts. 9 She took the hearts and set them out before him, and he did not want to eat. Amnon said, “Everyone will go out from my place.” And everyone went out from his place. 10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring me the food into the chamber, and I shall eat from your hands.” Tamar took the hearts she made and brought them to Amnon her brother into the chamber. 11 She neared him to eat, and he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” 12 She answered him, “No, my brother, do not abuse me. It is not seemly this be done in Israel. 13 As for me, where could I carry my shame? As for you, you would be counted in Israel as one of the wanton. Now speak to the king. He does not withhold me from you.” 14 He did not want to listen to her. He held her, overpowered her, lay with her, and abused her. 15 Amnon hated her with great hate. The hate with which he hated her multiplied more than the love with which he loved her. Amnon said to her, “Rise and go!” 16 She said to him, “Since you did to me this great evil, you send me forth?” He did not want to hear her. 17 He called the boy who served him and said to him, “Put out this one from my house outside and shut the door in her face.” 19 Tamar took ashes, cast them on her head, tore the long robe she was wearing, put her hand on her head, wailed, and went. 20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has Amnon your brother lay with you? Now, my sister, be silent. He is your brother; do not take this deed to heart.” Tamar resided and was bewildered in her brother Absalom’s house. 21 King David had heard all these words, he displeased him much. 22 Absalom said to Amnon neither good nor bad because Absalom hated Amnon for abusing his sister Tamar.

Death of Ammon

2 Samuel 13:23-39

23 Season to season, the shearers for Absalom were at Baal-hazor, with Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 24 Absalom came to the king and said to him, “Your servant has sheepshearer. The king and his servants will go with your servant.” 25 He said to Absalom, “No, my son, all of us will not go lest we burden you.” He pressed him, but he would not go with him and blessed him. 26 Absalom said to him, “If not, my brother Amnon will go with us.” The king said to him, “Why would he go with you?” 27 Absalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. 28 Absalom commanded his servants and said to them, “Once Amnon’s heart has cheered with wine, and I have said to you to you, ‘Strike Amnon and kill him,’ do not be afraid. I have commanded you. Be strengthened and men.” 29 The servants of Absalom did as Absalom had commanded them. All the king’s sons rose, and each mounted his mule and fled. 30 While they were on the way, the news came to David that Absalom had killed all the king’s sons, and not one of them was left. 31 The king rose, tore his garments, and sat on the ground. All his servants were standing while tearing their garments. 32 Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, answered and said, “My Lord the king will not suppose all the king’s sons have died, because Amnon alone is dead. For it was set in the eyes of Absalom from the day Amnon abused his sister Tamar. 33 Even now my Lord the king will not suppose all the king’s sons have died, because Amnon alone is dead.” 34 Absalom fled. The watchman raised his eyes and saw many people coming on the road from the side of the mountain. 35 Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king’s sons have come; as your servant said, so it has come about.” 36 When he finished speaking, the king’s sons came, raised their voice, and wept. The king and all his servants also wept a great weeping. 37 Absalom had fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. David sat in mourning for his son many days. 38 Absalom, having fled to Geshur, stayed there three years. 39 King David was sorry to go after Absalom because he was consoled over the death of Amnon.

Woman from Tekoa

2 Samuel 14:1-11

1 Joab son of Zeruiah knew the heart of King David meditated on Absalom. 2 Joab sent to Tekoa, brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, “Mourn and dress in mourning clothes. Do not anoint yourself with oil. Be like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead. 3 Enter the king’s and say to him this word.” Joab established the words and put them in her mouth. 4 The Tekoaite woman entered the king’s, fell to her face on the ground, bowed, and said, “Save me, my Lord the king!” 5 The king said to her, “What is the matter?” She said to him, “Truly, I am a widow. My husband has died. 6 Your servant had two sons, and both of them quarreled in the field. There was no deliverer among them, and one overpowered the other and killed him. 7 Look, the whole family rose against your servant. They say, ‘Give us the one who killed his brother, and we will kill him for the sake of his brother whom he killed.’ They seek to destroy the heir and seek to extinguish my remaining ember to not leave my husband name or family on the face of the earth.” 8 The king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you.” 9 The Tekoaite woman said to the king, “My Lord the king, on me be the crime and on my father’s house.

Much of the renovation of blood does not harm, and they will not destroy my son.” The king said, “As the Lord God lives, if one hair of your son shall fall to the ground…”

Return of Absalom

2 Samuel 14:28-33

28 Absalom lived in Jerusalem two years 29 and had not see the face of the king. Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king’s. He did not want to come. He still sent a second time, and he did not want to come. 30 Absalom said to his servants, “Look at the field of Joab’s next to mine of wheat or barley. Go and set it on fire.” Absalom’s servants set the field on fire. 31 Joab rose and went to Absalom’s house. Joab said to Absalom, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?” 32 Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I sent for you and said, ‘Come. I shall send you to the king to say, “Why did I come from Geshur? It would be better for me when I am there.”’ Now I want to be seen before the king. If I have a crime, he will kill me.” 33 Joab came before the king and told him the words of Abasalom, and he called Absalom. Absalom entered before the king and bowed his face to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom.

Conspiracy against David

2 Samuel 15:5-14

5 Once a man would rise to bow to him, he would hold him by his hand and kiss him. 6 Absalom would do this to all Israel who would come to judge before the king. Absalom turned the hearts of the sons of Israel. 7 After four years, Absalom said to the king, “I will go pay the vow I vowed to the Lord in Hebron. 8 For your servant made a vow while I was dwelling at Geshur in Aram: if the Lord would indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, I will serve the Lord.” 9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” He rose and went to Hebron. 10 Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel and commanded, “Once you have heard the sound of the trumpet, say, ‘Absalom rules at Hebron!’” 11 With Abasalom two hundred men from Jerusalem went. They went innocently as they did not know anything. 12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, and brought him from his village from Giloh as he was sacrificing sacrifices. The rebellion was going and strengthening. The people were very many on the side of Absalom. 13 A herald came to David and said to him, “The heart of the children of Israel conspired after Absalom.” 14 David said to all his servants with him at Jerusalem, “Rise! Let us flee. Otherwise we cannot escape from Absalom. Hurry, let us go lest he hasten, track us, push evil upon us, and strike the city with the mouth of the sword.”

Mourning at Mount of Olives

2 Samuel 15:29-37

29 The priests Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and dwelled there. 30 David was going up the Mount of Olives weeping, going up, and walking. Both his head covered and all his people’s heads’ covered, they were weeping and going up. 31 They told David and said to him Ahithophel rebelled with Absalom. David said, “May the Lord cease Ahithopel’s mind.” 32 David had come to a place where he would worship God. Hushai the Archite came to him, his coat torn and dust cast on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you pass with me, you would be a burden to me. 34 But return to the village and say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, king. Your father’s servant before, I now, king, beg you go cease Ahithopel’s mind.’ 35 Look, the priests Zadok and Abiathar will be with you there. Every word you hear from the king’s house, tell it to the priests Zadok and Abiathar. 36 Look, their two sons are there, Zadok’s son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan. You all send me through them everything you hear.” 37 Hushai, David’s friend, went to the village, and Absalom entered Jerusalem.

Shimei

2 Samuel 16:5-13

5 King David came to the house of Hurim, and a man of the family of the house of Saul came out from there. His name Shimei son of Gera, he went out and was reviling David. 6 He was stoning him, all his servants, all his people, and all his servants at his right and his left. 7 Shimei was saying to David thus as he was reviling him, “Out! Out! Blood spilling and unjust man! 8 The Lord avenged all the blood of the house of Saul, after whom you reigned. The Lord betrayed the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. Look, you were rewarded with your evil because you are a man spilling blood.” 9 Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why does this dead dog revile my Lord the king? Let me cross and take his head.” 10 King David said, “What have I to do with you all, sons of Zeruiah? Let him revile. The Lord has said to him, ‘Revile David.’ Who then said to him, ‘Why is my mind so?’” 11 David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son who went out from my loins seeks my life. Even now the sons of Benjamin. Let him revile. The Lord has told him to. 12 Perhaps the Lord will see my subjugation, and the Lord will repay me with good for my railing today.” 13 David and his men were going on the road, and Shimei was going on the hillside opposite him, reviling him stoning him, and casting dust on him.

David’s Concubines

2 Samuel 16:16-23

16 When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!” 17 Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your love for your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?” 18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No. It was with the one whom the Lord chose along with this people and all Israel of his. With him I shall dwell and I will be his. 19 For a second time, whose servant am I? It was by my hands as I served before your father, so I will serve you.” 20 Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Counsel me. What shall I do?” 21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines he has left to keep the house. Once all Israel hears you have been with your father’s concubines, the hands of all with you will be strengthened.” 22 They pitched a tent for Absalom upon the roof, and Absalom entered upon his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 The counsel Ahithophel counselled in those days was as one who asked the word of God. So were all the counsels of Ahithophel by both David and Absalom.

Ahithophel’s Advice

2 Samuel 17:1-14

1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “I will choose twelve thousand men, rise, and pursue after David at night. 2 I will pursue him until he is weary and his hand slackens. I will make him fear. All the people who are with him will flee. I will kill only the king 3 and return all the people as everyone you want returned, and all the people shall be at peace.” 4 The word pleased Absalom in his eyes and all the eyes of the elders of Israel. 5 Absalom said, “Call Hushai the Archite. We will hear too what he has to say.” 6 Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom said to him, “Ahithophel has said thus and thus. Shall we do what he said? If it is not fitting, say.” 7 Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel Ahithophel counselled was not seemly this time.” 8 Hushai said to him, “You know your father and his servants are heroes and are men of embittered souls, like a bear of prey in the field. He is a warrior and does not spend the night by the people. 9 Now he is hidden in one of the regions or one of the places. Once we fall on them as at first, he will hear the news there was a strike on the people after Absalom. 10 Then even the strong hero whose heart is like the heart of a lion will indeed melt because all Israel knows your father is a hero and those with him are powerful heroes. 11 I advice then once all Israel has gathered to you from Dan to Beer-sheba, you go amidst. 12 We come upon him in one of the places he is found and light on him as the dew falls on the ground. We will not spare him and everyone with him, not one. 13 If he might enter into a village, all Israel will cast ropes and drag it into the valley. We shall not leave there even a pebble.” 14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” The Lord had commanded to annul the good counsel of Ahithophel for the Lord to bring evil on Absalom.

Hushai’s Betrayal of Absalom

: 2 Samuel 17:15-23

15 Hushai said to the priests Zadok and Abiathar, “Thus and thus has Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus have I counseled. 16 Now send quickly to how David and say to him, ‘Do not lodge tonight in the plain of the wilderness, but cross over. Otherwise you and all the people with you will perish.’” 17 Jonathan and Ahimaaz were standing on the side of the Spring of Qatsra, and a maid went to tell them. They went to tell King David because they could not be seen entering the village. 18 A boy saw them and told Absalom. Both of them went and entered the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down it. 19 The woman took a covering, covered the top of the well, and spread barley groats over it, and no one knew. 20 Absalom’s servants came to the woman’s house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman said to them, “They crossed from here because they had sought water and could not find any.” They returned to Jerusalem. 21 After they went, they came up from the well, went and told King David, and said to him, “Rise quickly and cross the water, for thus has Ahithophel counseled you.” 22 David and all the people with him rose early and crossed the Jordan. When morning rose, not one was left who did not cross the Jordan. 23 Ahithophel had seen his counsel was not realized, he saddled his donkey, rose, and went to his home and his village. He visited his house, hanged himself, died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

Death of Absalom

2 Samuel 18:5-15

5 The king ordered Joab, Abishai, and Ittai: “Take for me the boy Absalom alive.” All the people heard the king gave orders to all the commanders about the will of Absalom. 6 The people went out into the field to meet Israel. 7 There was a battle, and the people of Israel were destroyed before the servants of David, and there the great slaughter was twenty thousand. 8 The battle was very much upon the face of the land. The forest beast devoured some people, more than the sword destroyed that day. 9 Absalom found himself before the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule entered under the branch of a great tree. Absalom’s head was caught in the oak, and he hung between heaven and earth. His mule under him had passed and went. 10 A man saw, told Joab, and said, “I saw Absalom hung in a branch.” 11 Joab said to the man who told him, “When you saw him, why did you not strike him and cast him on the ground? I would have given you you ten pieces of silver and a cloak.” 12 That man said to Joab, “Even if I I count you gave me a thousand pieces of silver, I will not stretch my hand against the king’s son. For before me the king commanded you, Abishai, and Ittai, and said, ‘Take care of the boy Absalom for me.’ 13 Even if I had done it myself, it would have been criminal. Nothing was hidden from the king, and you would have stood opposed.” 14 Joab said to him, “Not so. I will not begin before you.” He took three spears in his hand and struck them in the heart of Absalom, while he was alive and hung in the branch. 15 Ten youths, Joab’s armor-bearers, returned, struck Absalom, and killed him.

Mourning for Absalom

2 Samuel 18:24-33

24 David was sitting between the two gates. The watchman walked on the roof of the gate by the wall, raised his eyes, and saw a man running alone. 25 The sentinel called and told the king. The king said, “If he is alone, there are tidings in his mouth.” 26 The watchman for the gate walked, came, drew near, called the porter, and said, “Look, another man running alone!” 27 The watchman said, “I see the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” The king said, “This is a good man and comes with good tidings.” 28 Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “I came in peace.” He bowed to the king with his face to the ground and said, “Blessed be the Lord your God, who betrayed those who laid their hands upon my Lord the king.” 29 The king said to him, “Is the boy Absalom well?” Ahimaaz said to him, “I saw a great force arranged against Joab, the servant of my Lord the king, and your servant. I do not know what it was. 30 The king said to him, “Stand here.” He returned and stood. 31 Then a Cushite came and said, “Good tidings for my Lord the king, whom the Lord has judged in favor today against the hand of all who rise against you.” 32 The king said to the Cushite, “Is the boy Abasalom well?” The Cushite said, “May it be with your enemies as it is with the boy, my Lord the king, and all who rose against you for evil.” 33 The king was embittered, went up to the chamber, and wept. As he wept, we would say thus “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! Would that he killed me instead of you, Absalom, my son!”

David against the Giants

2 Samuel 21:15-22

15 Philistines again had war with Israel, and David along with his servants went down to fight with the Philistines. 16 David, Joab, and Abishai feared the giant whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze. He was bound with a new sword and said he would kill David. 17 Abishai son of Zeruiah helped him, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then his servants swore to David and said to him, “Do not go out with us to battle. Do not quench the lamp of Israel.” 18 After this there was again a battle at Gath with the Philistines. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph from the sons of the giants. 19 Israel again had a battle with the Philistines. Elhanan son of Malaph the weaver from Bethlehem killed the Philistine Goliad, the shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam. 20 There was again war at Gath. There was a giant man, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet, twenty-four in number. He too was born from the giants. 21 He deprecated Israel, and Jonathan, son of David’s brother Shimei, killed him. 22 These four were born from the giants in Gath and were betrayed into by the hand of David and the hand of his servants.

Plague

2 Samuel 24:10-25

10 David was battered in his heart after he counted the people. Then David said before the Lord, “I sinned in what I did. Still now, I beg of you, I have done foolishly.” 11 David got up early in the morning, and the word of the Lord was on the prophet Gad and said to him, 12 “Go say to David, ‘Thus says the Lord, “I bring three evils upon you. Choose for yourself, and I will do it to you.”’” 13 The prophet Gad came to David and said to him. “The first strike coming upon you is seven years of famine in your land or three months you shall be held in contempt by your enemy. He shall pursue you or three days of plague in your land. Yet now see what statement I am going to respond to the one who sent me.” 14 David answered and said to the prophet Gad, “I am very distressed. It is better for us to be contemned by the hands of the Lord our God whose mercies are many. May we not be contemned by the hand of men.” 15 The Lord gave a pestilence on Israel from morning until noon. From Dan to Beer-sheba, thousands of men had died. 16 Then the angel stretched out his hand to Jerusalem to desolate it, and the Lord restrained the angel of death who was destroying the people and said to him, “You have destroyed much now. Contract your hand.” The angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 17 David said before the Lord when he saw the angel destroying the people and answered and said to that angel, “If I have sinned and outraged, what have these innocent sheep done? May your hand be upon me and my father’s house.” 18 The prophet Gad came to David on that day and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Aaron the Jebusite.” 19 Then David went up by the word of Gad as the Lord told him. 20 Aaron turned and saw King David and his servants passing on the way. Aaron fell and bowed his face on the ground before the king. 21 He said, “For what has my Lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy from you the threshing floor to build an altar to the Lord so the plague may be withheld from the people.” 22 Araunah said to David, “My lord the king will take it. Here are the bulls for the burnt offering, and the plough shares and the yokes for the wood. 23 Aaron gave all this to King David. Aaron said to King David, “May the Lord your God bless you.” 24 David said to Aaron, “I will indeed buy them from you at a price. I do not bring the Lord my God a free burn offering.” David bought the threshing floor of the garden and the bulls for fifty shekels of silver. 25 David built there an altar to the Lord and brought burnt offerings and offerings of well-being. Then the Lord was revealed on the land, and the plague was withheld from Israel.

Uprising of Adonijah

1 Kings 1:1-6

1 King David grew old and entered in years. They would cover him in clothes, but he would not warm up. 2 His servants said to him, “Look, let your servants before you seek for my Lord the king a virgin girl. She will rise before the king, be a minister to him, lie in your lap, and warm our Lord the king.” 3 They sought a beautiful girl throughout all the borders of Israel, found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was very beautiful. She was a minister to the king and ministered to him, but he did not know her. 5 Then Adonijah son of Haggith exalted himself and said, “I will be king.” He made for himself chariots, horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 6 His father did not reprove him from his days and said to him, “For what do you do this?” He was also a very beautiful man in appearance, and he was born after Absalom.

Solomon Named as Heir

1 Kings 1:24-30

24 Nathan said, “My Lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me and shall sit on my throne’? 25 Today he went down and sacrificed bulls, fatted ones, and many sheep. He called all the king’s children, the commanders of the army, and the priest Abiathar. Look, they eat and drink before him and say, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 26 Neither me, who is your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon had he called. 27 Yes, from before you, my Lord the king, was this matter. You did not tell your servants who shall sit on the throne of my Lord the king after him.” 28 King David answered and said, “Call for me Bathsheba.” She entered before him and stood before the king. 29 The king swore and said, “As the Lord lives, who saved my life from every adversity, 30 but as I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, and said, ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me. He shall sit on my throne,’ so will I do today.”

Anointing of Solomon

1 Kings 1:32-40

32 The king said, “Call for me the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king, 33 and the king said to them, “Get up, take with you the servants of your Lord, mount my son Solomon on my own mule, and bring him down to Shiloah. 34 There shall the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan anoint him to rule over Israel. Sound the trumpet and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Go up after him. He will come and sit on my throne. May he rule after me. I have commanded him to be king over Israel and over Judah.” 36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered and said before the king, “Amen! So may the Lord God do. 37 As the Lord has been with my Lord the king, so may he also be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my Lord King David.” 38 Then the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the bowmen, and those who throw with slings went down and mounted Solomon on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon. 39 Then the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. They sounded the trumpet and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!” 40 Then all the people went up after him. The people were drumming with drums and rejoicing with great joy, and the earth split by their noise.

Death of David

1 Kings 2:1-12

1 David’s days to die neared, and he commanded his son and said to him: 2 “I am going the way of all the earth. Strengthen and be a man. 3 Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, his commandments, his judgements, and his testimonies as it is written in the law of Moses because you will prosper in all you do, and wherever you go, you shall succeed. 4 Because the Lord will set his statements he spoke about me: ‘If your sons keep their ways to walk before me in truth from all their heart and from all their soul.’ He said, ‘A man to sit upon the throne of Israel will not depart for you.’ 5 Now you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, whom he killed and counted as in the battle. He shed their blood by the sword on his waist and trampled him by the sandals on his feet. 6 Do to him according to your wisdom, but do not bring down his old age to Sheol in peace. 7 With the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite do good, and may they be those who eat at your table because they ministered to me in everything when I fled from before your brother Absalom. 8 Look, Shimei son of Gera is with you from the tribe of Benjamin from Bahurim. He had cursed me with bitter curses on the day when I went to Mahanaim. He had come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord God and said, ‘I will not kill you with the sword.’ 9 Now do not vindicate him; you are a wise man. Know what to do to him. Return his crime upon his head, and bring down his old age in blood to Sheol.” 10 Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the town of David. 11 The days David reigned over Israel was forty years; in Hebron he had reigned seven years and had reigned in Jerusalem thirty-three years. 12 Solomon had sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was well established.

Solomon’s Vision of God

1 Kings 3:5-14

5 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in a vision by night, and God said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 6 Solomon said, “You have done with your servant David, my father, great kindness as he walked before you in truth and faithfulness. He has walked in uprightness of heart before you, and you kept for him this great kindness and gave him a son to sit on his throne like today. 7 Now Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, and I am a little child and do not know how to go out or come in the midst of your people you chose 8 many people unnumbered and uncounted for its multitude. 9 Give your servant an attentive heart to judge your people and to discern between good and evil; for who can judge this your great people?” 10 This matter pleased the Lord’s presence when Solomon asked for this matter. 11 The Lord said to Solomon, “Because you asked for this matter, did not ask for yourself wealth, nor ask for yourself the lives of your enemies, nor ask for yourself many days, yet asked for yourself wisdom to hear judgment, 12 look, I did for you according to your statement. Look, I gave you a wise and understanding heart, so no one like you has been before you and none like you will rise after you. 13 I also have given you something you did not ask, both riches and honor, so no one among kings shall compare with you all your days. 14 If you will walk in my ways to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, I will lengthen your days.”

Judgement of Solomon

1 Kings 3:16-28

16 Then two prostitutes came to judge before King Solomon. 17 One woman of them said, “I beg you, my Lord, this woman and I were dwelling in one house, and I gave birth with her in the house. 18 After three days when I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. We were together, and there was no stranger with us except the two of us in the house. 19 Then the son of this woman son died in the night, because she lay on him. 20 She got up at midnight and took my son from beside me. Your maidservant was sleeping, and she cast him in her bosom and cast her dead son in my bosom. 21 I got up in the morning to nurse my son, and I see he is dead. I inspected him in the morning, and he was not my son I bore.” 22 The other woman said, “It is not so. The living one is my son, and your son is dead.” She said, “It is not so. Your son is dead, and my son is alive.” They were arguing before the king. 24 The king said, “Bring me a sword.” They brought a sword before the king. 25 The king said, “Cut that living child in two, and give half to the one and half one.” 26 That woman whose son was alive said to the king because her love returned to her son, “I beg you, my Lord, give her the child alive. Do not indeed kill him.” She had said, “May it be neither mine nor yours. Cut it.” 27 The king answered and said, “Give her the living child. Do not indeed kill him. She is his mother.” 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment the king judged and feared the king’s presence because they saw the wisdom of God was in him to make judgement.

Plans for the Temple

1 Kings 5:2-11

2 Hiram sent to Solomon and blessed him, and Solomon sent to Hiram and said, 3 “You do know my father David, who could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the many battles surrounding him until the Lord betrayed them under the sole of his foot. 4 Now the Lord my God pacified around me there is neither adversary nor misfortune. 5 Look, I say I will build a house for the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord said to my father David, ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place on your throne, may he build the house for my name.’ 6 Now command they cut cedar wood from Lebanon for me. My servants shall be with your servants, and I will give you your servants’ wage everything you say because you do know there is no one among us who knows how to cut wood like the Sidonians.” 7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced much and said, “Blessed be the Lord today, who has given David a wise son over this great people.” 8 Hiram sent to Solomon and said, “I heard what you sent to me. I will do all of your wish in cedar wood and cypress wood. 9 My servants shall bring it down from Lebanon to the sea; I will make it into rafts by sea unto the place you send for me and will cast them there. You shall take them from there and also do my desire and give bread to my household.” 10 Hiram would give Solomon cedar wood and cypress wood as he wished. 11 Solomon had given Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household and twenty thousand cors of fine oil. Thus would Solomon give to Hiram each year.

Building of the Temple

1 Kings 6:1-13

1 In the four hundred and eightieth year since the departure of the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month of Iyor, which is the second month, as Solomon reigned over Israel he began to build the house of the Lord. 2 The house Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. 3 The portico in front of the door of the house was twenty cubits long in front of the width of the house and ten cubits wide in front of the length of the house. 4 He made for the house splayed and narrow windows. 5 He built round house walls surrounding. The walls of the house surrounded the temple and the house of atonement. 6 He made the low corridor five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide, and the third seven cubits wide because he had made for the house ledges surrounding outside so the walls may hold to the walls. 7 When the house was built, it had been built by the whole stones of transport. Hammer, knife, and all the iron tools could not be heard while it was being built. 8 The door for the center corridor was on the south side of the house. They went up by stairs to the center and from the center went up to the third. 9 He built the house, finished it, and roofed the house of sawn beams of sawn. 10 He built the corridors against the whole house, each five cubits high, and joined it to the house with cedar wood. 11 The statement of the Lord was on Solomon to say, 12 “Concerning this house you built, if you will walk in my statutes, keep my judgements, do all my commandments, and walk in them, I will establish with you my statements, which I spoke to David your father. 13 I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.”

Entry of Ark of the Covenant

1 Kings 8:5-13

5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who had met with him were standing with him before the ark and sacrificing sheep and bulls were uncounted and unnumbered from their multitude. 6 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place to the temple, the house of the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubim 7 because the cherubim spread their wings on the holy place and roof with their wings the ark and its poles above. 8 The poles were long; the tops of the poles were seen from the holy place before the temple. They could not be seen outside and are there to this day. 9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone Moses placed there at Horeb when the Lord established a covenant with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. 10 When the priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the Lord. 11 The priests could not stand and minister before the cloud, because the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. 12 Then Solomon said, “You, the Lord, have said you dwell in darkness. 13 I have indeed built a habitation established as your residence forever.”

Queen of Sheba

1 Kings 10:1-13

1 The queen of Sheba had heard the name of Solomon and name of the Lord 2 and came to test him with riddles. She came to Jerusalem with a very great force camels bearing spices, quite a lot of gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and placed in him all that was in her heart. 3 Solomon told her all words, and nothing was hidden from the king that he did not tell her. 4 The queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the house he built, 5 the food of his table, the position of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings he offered at the house of the Lord. Then there remained no spirit left in her. 6 She said to the king, “The statement I heard in my land about your statements and your wisdom was true. 7 I did not believe the statements until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, they had not told me half; your wisdom and goodness surpass the report I heard. 8 Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who always stand before you and hear your wisdom! 9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who willed you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he made you king to make justice and righteousness.” 10 She gave King Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, a great many spices, and precious stones; such spices as these did not come again which the Queen of Sheba gave to Solomon. 11 Moreover the boats of Hiram carried gold from Ophir and brought from Ophir a very great amount of sandal wood and precious stones. 12 King Solomon made of the sandal wood into decoration for the house of the Lord and the king’s house and into lyres and harps for the singers; such sandal wood as these did not come or was seen to this day. 13 King Solomon gave the Queen of Sheba everything she desired and asked, apart from what he gave her as from the hand of a king. Then she turned and went to that land along with her servants.

Solomon’s Infidelity

1 Kings 10:1-14

1 King Solomon had loved many foreign women the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites 2 from the nations about which the Lord said: “You shall mingle with them nor shall they with you, lest they incline your heart after their gods.” Solomon had clung, held, and loved them. 3 He had seven hundred freewomen and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned away his heart. 4 At the time of Solomon’s old age, his wives had turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not wholly with the Lord his God like the heart of his father David. 5 Solomon followed Astarte the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the idol of the Moabites, and Milcom, the God of the children of Ammon. 6 Solomon did evil before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord like his father David had done. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the children of Ammon. 8 He had done so for all his foreign wives, who placed incense and sacrificed to their gods. 9 The Lord raged on Solomon since his heart turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who revealed himself to him twice 10 and commanded him concerning this matter to not follow the gods of the nations. He did not keep what the Lord commanded. 11 The Lord said to Solomon, “Since this was you and you did not kept my covenant, my statutes, and my commandments I commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from your hand and give it to your servant. 12 However, I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David; I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 However, I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the town I chose.” 14 The Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, for he was from the land of the kings in Edom.

Division of the Kingdom

1 Kings 11:29-36

29 At that time, Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Ahijah was covered with a new garment, and both of them were alone in the field. 30 Ahijah took the new cloak on him and tore it into twelve strips. 31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces because thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Look, I am tearing the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes 32 (he shall have one tribe for the sake of my servant David, for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I chose out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 since he forsook me, worshiped the goddess Ashtoreth of the Sidonians, the god Chemosh of the Moabites, and the god Milcom of the children of Ammon, did not walk in my ways, did not do what is seemly before me, and did not keep my statutes and my judgements as David his father. 34 I will not take the whole kingdom from his hands, but I will make him a great one all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. 35 I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hands and will give to you ten tribes. 36 To his son I will give one tribe because David my servant will have a lamp all the days before me in Jerusalem, the town I chose for me to put my name.”

41 The rest of the statements of Solomon, all he did, and his wisdom, look, are written in the book of the statements of Solomon. 42 The days Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 Solomon laid with his fathers and was buried in the town of David his father, and Rehoboam his son reigned after him.
