So the woman got up and did as the man of God said and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.

So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.

And he got up and went into the house then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.

For the family of Ahab will come to an end every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.

And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.

And they said, That is not true now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.

So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:

So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.

So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.

And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.

Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?

Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.

And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.

Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.

And he came in, and took food and drink then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.

So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs

And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.

And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.

But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.

And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.

And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?

I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.

And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?

And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.

But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.
