열왕기하 8

1엘리사가 이전에 아들을 다시 살려준 여인에게 이르되 너는 일어나서 네 권속과 함께 거할만한 곳으로 가서 거하라 여호와께서 기근을 명하셨으니 그대로 이 땅에 칠 년 동안 임하리라 2여인이 일어나서 하나님의 사람의 말대로 행하여 그 권속과 함께 가서 블레셋 사람의 땅에 칠 년을 우거하다가 3칠 년이 다하매 여인이 블레셋 사람의 땅에서 돌아와서 자기 집과 전토를 위하여 호소하려 하여 왕에게 나아갔더라 4때에 왕이 하나님의 사람의 사환 게하시와 서로 말씀하며 가로되 너는 엘리사의 행한 모든 큰 일을 내게 고하라 하니 5게하시가 곧 엘리사가 죽은 자를 다시 살린 일을 왕에게 이야기할 때에 그 다시 살린 아이의 어미가 자기 집과 전토를 위하여 왕에게 호소하는지라 게하시가 가로되 내 주 왕이여 이는 그 여인이요 저는 그 아들이니 곧 엘리사가 다시 살린 자니이다 6왕이 그 여인에게 물으매 여인이 고한지라 왕이 저를 위하여 한 관리를 임명하여 가로되 무릇 이 여인에게 속한 것과 이 땅에서 떠날 때부터 이제까지 그 밭의 소출을 다 돌려주라 하였더라 7엘리사가 다메섹에 갔을 때에 아람 왕 벤하닷이 병들었더니 혹이 왕에게 고하여 가로되 하나님의 사람이 여기 이르렀나이다 8왕이 하사엘에게 이르되 너는 손에 예물을 가지고 가서 하나님의 사람을 맞고 저로 말미암아 여호와께 나의 이 병이 낫겠나 물으라 9하사엘이 드디어 맞으러 갈새 다메섹 모든 아름다운 물품으로 예물을 삼아가지고 약대 사십에 싣고 나아가서 저의 앞에 서서 가로되 당신의 아들 아람 왕 벤하닷이 나를 당신에게 보내어 가로되 나의 이 병이 낫겠나이까 하더이다 10엘리사가 가로되 너는 가서 저에게 고하기를 왕이 정녕 나으리라 하라 그러나 여호와께서 저가 정녕 죽으리라고 내게 알게 하셨느니라 하고 11하나님의 사람이 저가 부끄러워하기까지 쏘아보다가 우니 12하사엘이 가로되 내 주여 어찌하여 우시나이까 대답하되 네가 이스라엘 자손에게 행할 모든 악을 내가 앎이라 네가 저희 성에 불을 놓으며 장정을 칼로 죽이며 어린 아이를 메어치며 아이 밴 부녀를 가르리라 13하사엘이 가로되 당신의 개 같은 종이 무엇이관대 이런 큰 일을 행하오리이까 엘리사가 대답하되 여호와께서 네가 아람 왕이 될 것을 내게 알게 하셨느니라 14저가 엘리사를 떠나가서 그 주인에게 나아가니 왕이 묻되 엘리사가 네게 무슨 말을 하더냐 대답하되 저가 내게 이르기를 왕이 정녕 나으시리라 하더이다 15그 이튿날에 하사엘이 이불을 물에 적시어 왕의 얼굴에 덮으매 왕이 죽은지라 저가 대신하여 왕이 되니라 16이스라엘 왕 아합의 아들 요람 제오년에 유다 왕 여호사밧이 오히려 위에 있을 때에 그 아들 여호람이 왕이 되니라 17여호람이 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 삼십이 세라 예루살렘에서 팔 년을 치리하니라 18저가 이스라엘 왕들의 길로 행하여 아합의 집과 같이 하였으니 이는 아합의 딸이 그 아내가 되었음이라 저가 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하였으나 19여호와께서 그 종 다윗을 위하여 유다 멸하기를 즐겨하지 아니하셨으니 이는 저와 그 자손에게 항상 등불을 주겠다고 허하셨음이더라 20여호람 때에 에돔이 배반하여 유다의 수하에서 벗어나 자기 위에 왕을 세운고로 21여호람이 모든 병거를 거느리고 사일로 갔더니 밤에 일어나 자기를 에워싼 에돔 사람과 그 병거의 장관들을 치니 이에 백성이 도망하여 각각 그 장막으로 돌아갔더라 22이와 같이 에돔이 배반하여 유다의 수하에서 벗어났더니 오늘날까지 그러하였으며 그 때에 립나도 배반하였더라 23여호람의 남은 사적과 그 행한 모든 일은 유다 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 24여호람이 그 열조와 함께 자매 그 열조들과 함께 다윗 성에 장사되고 그 아들 아하시야가 대신하여 왕이 되니라 25이스라엘 왕 아합의 아들 요람 제십이년에 유다 왕 여호람의 아들 아하시야가 왕이 되니 26아하시야가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 이십이 세라 예루살렘에서 일 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 아달랴라 이스라엘 왕 오므리의 손녀더라 27아하시야가 아합의 집 길로 행하여 아합의 집과 같이 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하였으니 저는 아합의 집의 사위가 되었음이러라 28저가 아합의 아들 요람과 함께 길르앗 라못으로 가서 아람 왕 하사엘로 더불어 싸우더니 아람 사람들이 요람을 상하게 한지라 29요람 왕이 아람 왕 하사엘과 싸울 때에 라마에서 아람 사람에게 맞아 상한 것을 치료하려 하여 이스르엘로 돌아왔더라 아합의 아들 요람이 병이 있으므로 유다 왕 여호람의 아들 아하시야가 이스르엘에 내려가서 방문하였더라

1Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land seven years.” 2The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3At the seven years’ end, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to cry to the king for her house and for her land. 4Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.” 5As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.” 6When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.” 7Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. It was told him, saying, “The man of God has come here.” 8The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 9So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 10Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You shall surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die.” 11He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept. 12Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.” 13Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.” 14Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.” 15On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place. 16In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 17He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. 19However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always. 20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 21Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. 22So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. 23The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 24Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. 25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 26Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 27He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 28He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 29King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

1Elisa nu had gesproken tot die vrouw, welker zoon hij levend gemaakt had, zeggende: Maak u op, en ga heen, gij en uw huisgezin, en verkeer als vreemdeling, waar gij verkeren kunt; want de HEERE heeft een honger geroepen, die ook in het land zeven jaren komen zal. 2En de vrouw had zich opgemaakt, en had gedaan naar het woord van den man Gods; want zij was gegaan met haar huisgezin, en had als vreemdeling verkeerd in het land der Filistijnen, zeven jaren. 3En het geschiedde met het einde der zeven jaren, dat de vrouw uit het land der Filistijnen wederkeerde; en zij ging uit, dat zij tot den koning riep, om haar huis en om haar akker. 4De koning nu sprak tot Gehazi, den jongen van den man Gods, zeggende: Vertel mij toch al de grote dingen, die Elisa gedaan heeft. 5En het geschiedde, als hij den koning vertelde, hoe hij een dode had levend gemaakt, ziet, zo riep de vrouw, welker zoon hij levend gemaakt had, tot den koning, om haar huis en om haar akker. Toen zeide Gehazi: Mijn heer koning! Dit is de vrouw, en dit is haar zoon, dien Elisa heeft levend gemaakt. 6En de koning ondervraagde de vrouw, en zij vertelde het hem. Toen gaf de koning haar een kamerling, zeggende: Doe haar wederhebben alles, wat het hare was, daartoe alle inkomsten des akkers, van den dag af, dat zij het land verlaten heeft, tot nu toe. 7Daarna kwam Elisa te Damaskus, als Benhadad, de koning van Syrie, krank was; en men boodschapte hem, zeggende: De man Gods is herwaarts gekomen. 8Toen zeide de koning tot Hazael: Neem een geschenk in uw hand, en ga den man Gods tegemoet; en vraag door hem den HEERE, zeggende: Zal ik van deze krankheid genezen? 9Zo ging Hazael hem tegemoet, en nam een geschenk in zijn hand, te weten, alle goed van Damaskus, een last van veertig kemelen; en hij kwam, en stond voor zijn aangezicht, en zeide: Uw zoon Benhadad, de koning van Syrie, heeft mij tot u gezonden, om te zeggen: Zal ik van deze krankheid genezen? 10En Elisa zeide tot hem: Ga, zeg, gij zult ganselijk niet genezen; want de HEERE heeft mij getoond, dat hij den dood sterven zal. 11En hij hield zijn gezicht staande, en zette het vast tot schamens toe; en de man Gods weende. 12Toen zeide Hazael: Waarom weent mijn heer? En hij zeide: omdat ik weet, wat kwaad gij den kinderen Israels doen zult; gij zult hun sterkten in het vuur zetten, en hun jonge manschap met het zwaard doden, en hun jonge kinderen verpletteren, en hun zwangere vrouwen opensnijden. 13En Hazael zeide: Maar wat is uw knecht, die een hond is, dat hij deze grote zaak doen zou? En Elisa zeide: De HEERE heeft mij getoond, dat gij koning zijn zult over Syrie. 14Zo ging hij weg van Elisa, en kwam tot zijn heer, die tot hem zeide: Wat heeft Elisa tot u gezegd? En hij zeide: Hij heeft tot mij gezegd: Gij zult zekerlijk genezen. 15En het geschiedde des anderen daags, dat hij een deken nam, en in het water doopte, en over zijn aangezicht uitspreidde, dat hij stierf; en Hazael werd koning in zijn plaats. 16In het vijfde jaar nu van Joram, den zoon van Achab, den koning van Israel, toen Josafat koning was van Juda, begon Jehoram, de zoon van Josafat, den koning van Juda, te regeren. 17Hij was twee en dertig jaren oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde acht jaren te Jeruzalem. 18En hij wandelde op den weg der koningen van Israel, gelijk als het huis van Achab deed; want de dochter van Achab was hem ter vrouw geworden; en hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN. 19Doch de HEERE wilde Juda niet verderven, om Davids Zijns knechts wil; gelijk als Hij hem gezegd had, dat Hij hem te allen tijde voor zijn zonen een lamp zou geven. 20In zijn dagen vielen de Edomieten van onder het gebied van Juda af, en maakten een koning over zich. 21Daarom toog Joram over naar Zair, en al de wagenen met hem; en hij maakte zich des nachts op, en sloeg de Edomieten, die rondom hem waren, daartoe de oversten der wagenen; en het volk vlood in zijn hutten. 22De Edomieten evenwel vielen van onder het gebied van Juda af, tot op dezen dag; toen viel Libna af in denzelfden tijd. 23Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Joram, en alles wat hij gedaan heeft, is dat niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 24En Joram ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en werd begraven bij zijn vaderen, in de stad Davids; en Ahazia, zijn zoon, werd koning in zijn plaats. 25In het twaalfde jaar van Joram, den zoon van Achab, den koning van Israel, begon Ahazia, de zoon van Jeroham, den koning van Juda, te regeren. 26Twee en twintig jaren was Ahazia oud, als hij koning werd, en regeerde een jaar te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Athalia, de dochter van Omri, den koning van Israel. 27En hij wandelde in den weg van het huis van Achab, en deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, gelijk het huis van Achab; want hij was een schoonzoon van het huis van Achab. 28En hij toog met Joram, den zoon van Achab, naar den strijd, te Ramoth in Gilead, tegen Hazael, den koning van Syrie; en de Syriers sloegen Joram. 29Toen keerde Joram, de koning wederom, opdat hij zich te Jizreel helen liet van de slagen, die hem de Syriers te Rama geslagen hadden, als hij streed tegen Hazael den koning van Syrie; en Ahazia, de zoon van Jehoram, de koning van Juda, kwam af, om Joram, den zoon van Achab, te Jizreel te bezien, want hij was krank.
