So he departed ^H1980 from there ^H8033 and found ^H4672 Elisha ^H477 the son ^H1121 of Shaphat ^H8202 while he was plowing ^H2790, with twelve ^H8147 H6240 yoke ^H6776 of oxen in front ^H6440 of him, and he with the twelfth ^H8147 H6240. And Elijah ^H452 came ^H5674 over ^H5674 to him and threw ^H7993 his cloak ^H155 on him.

And Elijah ^H452 said ^H559 to him, “Elisha ^H477, please ^H4994 stay ^H3427 here ^H6311, for the LORD ^H3068 has sent ^H7971 me to Jericho ^H3405.” But he said ^H559, “As surely as the LORD ^H3068 lives ^H2416, and as you yourself ^H5315 live ^H2416, I will not leave ^H5800 you.” So they came ^H935 to Jericho ^H3405.

When they had crossed ^H5674 over ^H5674, Elijah ^H452 said ^H559 to Elisha ^H477, “Ask ^H7592 me what ^H4100 I should do ^H6213 for you before ^H2962 I am taken ^H3947 from you.” And Elisha ^H477 said ^H559, “Please ^H4994 let a double ^H8147 portion ^H6310 of your spirit ^H7307 be upon me.”

Now when the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 who ^H834 were at Jericho ^H3405 opposite ^H4480 H5048 him saw ^H7200 him, they said ^H559, “The spirit ^H7307 of Elijah ^H452 has settled ^H5117 on Elisha ^H477.” And they came ^H935 to meet ^H7122 him and bowed ^H2331 down ^H2331 to the ground ^H776 before him.

Then the men ^H376 of the city ^H5892 said ^H559 to Elisha ^H477, “Behold ^H2009 now, the site ^H4186 of the city ^H5892 is pleasant ^H2896, as my lord ^H113 sees ^H7200; but the water ^H4325 is bad ^H7451 and the land ^H776 [fn]is ^H7921 unfruitful ^H7921.”

Now Elisha ^H477 said ^H559 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478, “[fn]What ^H4100 business do you have with me? Go ^H1980 to your father’s ^H1 prophets ^H5030 and your mother’s ^H517 prophets ^H5030.” But the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 to him, “No ^H408, for the LORD ^H3068 has called ^H7121 these ^H428 three ^H7969 kings ^H4428 together to hand ^H5414 H3027 them over ^H5414 to Moab ^H4124.”

Now a day ^H3117 came ^H1961 when Elisha ^H477 went ^H5674 over ^H5674 to Shunem ^H7766, where ^H8033 there was a [fn]prominent ^H1419 woman ^H802, and she urged ^H2388 him to eat ^H398 [fn]food ^H3899. And so it was, as often ^H1767 as he passed ^H5674 by ^H5674, that he turned ^H5493 in ^H5493 there ^H8033 to eat ^H398 [fn]food ^H3899.

Now the woman ^H802 conceived ^H2029 and gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to a son ^H1121 at that season ^H4150 [fn]the next ^H2416 year ^H6256, as Elisha ^H477 had told ^H1696 her.

When Elisha ^H477 entered ^H935 the house ^H1004, behold ^H2009 the boy ^H5288 was dead ^H4191, laid ^H7901 on his bed ^H4296.

When Elisha ^H477 returned ^H7725 to Gilgal ^H1537, there was a famine ^H7458 in the land ^H776. [fn]As the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 were sitting ^H3427 in front ^H6440 of him, he said ^H559 to his servant ^H5288, “Put ^H8239 on the large ^H1419 pot ^H5518 and boil ^H1310 stew ^H5138 for the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030.”

But Gehazi ^H1522, the servant ^H5288 of Elisha ^H477 the man ^H376 of God ^H430, [fn]thought ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, my master ^H113 has spared ^H2820 this ^H2088 Naaman ^H5283 the Aramean ^H761, [fn]by not accepting ^H3947 from his hand ^H3027 what ^H834 he brought ^H935. As the LORD ^H3068 lives ^H2416, I will run ^H7323 after ^H310 him and take ^H3947 something ^H3972 from him.”

When they had come ^H935 into Samaria ^H8111, Elisha ^H477 said ^H559, “LORD ^H3068, open ^H6491 the eyes ^H5869 of these ^H428 men, so that they may see ^H7200.” So the LORD ^H3068 opened ^H6491 their eyes ^H5869, and they saw ^H7200; and behold ^H2009, they were in the midst ^H8432 of Samaria ^H8111.

Now Elisha ^H477 was sitting ^H3427 in his house ^H1004, and the elders ^H2205 were sitting ^H3427 with him. And the king sent ^H7971 a man ^H376 from his presence ^H6440; but before ^H2962 the messenger ^H4397 came ^H935 to him, he said ^H559 to the elders ^H2205, “Do you see ^H7200 how ^H3588 this ^H2088 son ^H1121 of a murderer ^H7523 has sent ^H7971 a man to cut ^H5493 off ^H5493 my head ^H7218? Look ^H7200, when the messenger ^H4397 comes ^H935, shut ^H5462 the door ^H1817 and [fn]hold ^H3905 the door ^H1817 shut ^H3905 against him. Is the sound ^H6963 of his master’s ^H113 feet ^H7272 not behind ^H310 him?”

Then Elisha ^H477 came ^H935 to Damascus ^H1834. Now Ben-hadad ^H1130, the king ^H4428 of Aram ^H758, was ^H2470 sick ^H2470, and it was told ^H5046 to him, saying ^H559, “The man ^H376 of God ^H430 has come ^H935 here ^H5704 H2008.”
