And, behold, H2009 there came H5066 a prophet H5030 to Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Have you seen H7200 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 multitude? H1995 behold, H2005 I will deliver H5414 it into your hand H3027 this H2088 day; H3117 and you shall know H3045 that I am the LORD. H3068

So these H428 young H5288 men of the princes H8269 of the provinces H4082 came H3318 out of the city, H5892 and the army H2428 which H834 followed H310 them.

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 went H3318 out, and smote H5221 the horses H5483 and chariots, H7393 and slew H5221 the Syrians H758 with a great H1419 slaughter. H4347

And there came H5066 a man H376 of God, H430 and spoke H559 to the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 and said, Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Because H3282 H834 the Syrians H758 have said, H559 The LORD H3068 is God H430 of the hills, H2022 but he is not God H430 of the valleys, H6010 therefore will I deliver H5414 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 multitude into your hand, H3027 and you shall know H3045 that I am the LORD. H3068

But the rest H3498 fled H5127 to Aphek, H663 into H413 the city; H5892 and there a wall H2346 fell H5307 on twenty H6242 and seven H7651 thousand H505 of the men H376 that were left. H3498 And Benhadad H1130 fled, H5127 and came H935 into H413 the city, H5892 into H413 an inner H2315 chamber. H2315

Ought you not to know H3045 that the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 gave H5414 the kingdom H4467 over H5921 Israel H3478 to David H1732 for ever, H5769 even to him and to his sons H1121 by a covenant H1285 of salt? H4417

And there are gathered H6908 to him vain H7386 men, H582 the children H1121 of Belial, H1100 and have strengthened H553 themselves against H5921 Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon, H8010 when Rehoboam H7346 was young H5288 and tenderhearted, H7390 H3824 and could not withstand H2388 them.

Have you not cast H5080 out the priests H3548 of the LORD, H3068 the sons H1121 of Aaron, H175 and the Levites, H3881 and have made H6213 you priests H3548 after the manner of the nations H5971 of other lands? H776 so that whoever H3605 comes H935 to consecrate H3027 himself H3027 with a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 and seven H7651 rams, H352 the same may be a priest H3548 of them that are no H3808 gods. H430

And they burn H6999 to the LORD H3068 every morning H1242 and every evening H6153 burnt H5930 sacrifices and sweet H5561 incense: H7004 the show bread H3899 H4635 also set they in order on the pure H2889 table; H7979 and the candlestick H4501 of gold H2091 with the lamps H5216 thereof, to burn H1197 every evening: H6153 for we keep H8104 the charge H4931 of the LORD H3068 our God; H430 but you have forsaken H5800 him.

But Jeroboam H3379 caused an ambush H3993 to come H935 about H5437 behind H310 them: so they were before H6440 Judah, H3063 and the ambush H3993 was behind H310 them.

Then the men H376 of Judah H3063 gave a shout: H7321 and as the men H376 of Judah H3063 shouted, H7321 it came H1961 to pass, that God H430 smote H5062 Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 Israel H3478 before H6440 Abijah H29 and Judah. H3063

Why H4069 are your valiant H47 men swept H5502 away? they stood H5975 not, because H3588 the LORD H3068 did drive H1920 them.

He made many H7235 to fall, H3782 yes, one H376 fell H5307 on another: H7453 and they said, H559 Arise, H6965 and let us go H7725 again H7725 to our own people, H5971 and to the land H776 of our nativity, H4138 from the oppressing H3238 sword. H2719
