Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured.

Because Ahaziah consulted with Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, he would certainly die.

Elijah wore a garment made of hair, and he had a leather belt wrapped around his waist.

A fire came down from heaven, called by Elijah, and it consumed the captain and his fifty men.

The third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him to value his life and the lives of his men.

Joram began to reign in his place because Ahaziah had no son.

When Yahweh was going to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah left with Elisha from Gilgal.

Elisha answered, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”

Because Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water with it, the river divided on both sides.

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit to come on him.

Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

When Elisha had struck the waters, they divided on both sides and Elisha crossed over.

They wanted fifty strong men to go and look for Elisha’s master, in case the Spirit of Yahweh had taken him up and thrown him onto some mountain or into some valley.

The fifty men searched for three days.

The water was bad and the land was not fruitful.

Elisha went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it.

When some boys mocked Elisha, two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Joram’s evil was not like his father and his mother, for he removed the sacred stone pillar of Baal that his father had made.

King Joram left Samaria to mobilize all Israel for war.

The armies of Israel, Judah, and Edom marched for seven days.

Elisha had poured water on the hands of Elijah, acting as his servant.

Elisha paid attention to the king of Israel because Elisha honored the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.

When the harpist played, the hand of Yahweh came upon Elisha.

In the morning about the time of offering the grain sacrifice, there came water from the direction of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

All who were able to put on armor gathered themselves together.

When the Moabites saw the water, they thought the three kings had killed each other.

He took his oldest son and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall.

The creditor was going to take her two children to be his slaves.

The woman should borrow jars from her neighbors.

After her son said there were no more jars, the oil stopped flowing.

They made a little room on the roof for Elisha, with a bed, a table, a seat, and a lamp.

In one year’s time, she would be holding a son.

When the child went out one day to his father, who was with harvesters, he cried out about pain in his head.

The child sat on his mother’s knees until he died.

The man of God was at Mount Carmel.

When Gehazi asked the woman if everything was alright, she answered, “It is alright.”

When she came to the man of God at the mountain, she caught hold of his feet.

If Gehazi met any man or if anyone greeted him, he should not answer him.

He laid the staff on the child’s face.

Elisha stretched himself out on the boy, and the boy’s body grew warm.

Yahweh had given deliverance to Aram.

The girl said the prophet who was in Samaria would heal her master.

Naaman took the letter to the king of Israel.

The king of Israel thought Naaman was seeking to start an argument with him.

Naaman was told to go and wash himself into the Jordan seven times to be clean.

Naaman thought Elisha would come out to him and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and heal the leprosy.

Naaman’s flesh was restored again like the flesh of a little boy.

After Naaman was healed, he knew that there was no God in all the earth except in Israel.

Naaman asked Yahweh to pardon him when he bowed himself in the house of Rimmon to serve his master.

The place where they lived with Elisha was too small, so they wanted to build a new place to live.

He was worried because the axe was borrowed.

He cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the iron float.

Elisha told the king of Israel the words of the king of Aram.

He was worried because he saw a large army with horses and chariots surrounding the city.

Elisha asked Yahweh to blind them, and then Elisha told them to follow him.

The Arameans were in the middle of the city of Samaria when Yahweh opened their eyes.

He put bread and water before them, and he sent them away.

There was a great famine in Samaria, so a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver.

She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ So we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her on the next day, “Give your son that we may eat him, but she has hidden her son.”

When the messenger came to Elisha, he told the elders to shut the door, and hold the door shut against him.

Elisha said the captain would not eat any of the flour or barley.

They went to the army of the Arameans because they said they might die stayed where they were.

The Aramean army thought the king of Israel hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come against the Arameans because they heard a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses—the noise of another large army approaching.

The gatekeepers shouted out the news that the Arameans had deserted their camp.

The king thought they had gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the fields. Then when the Israelites came out of the city, the Arameans would take them alive, and conquer the city.

The road was full of clothes and equipment the Arameans had cast away in their hurry.

The captain said to Elisha, “That could not happen even if Yahweh opened the windows of the sky and sent grain down to us!”

The woman whose son Elisha restored to life lived in the land of the Philistines seven years because Elisha said Yahweh had called for a famine.

The woman went to the king to beg him for her house and for her land.

Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored to life the child who was dead.

Hazael took a gift with him of every kind of good thing of Damascus, carried by forty camels.

The man of God wept because he knew the evil that Hazael would do to the people of Israel.

After Hazael told King Ben Hadad that he would recover, he took the blanket and dipped it in water, and spread it on Ben Hadad’s face so that he died.

Jehoram’s wife was Ahab’s daughter.

Yahweh was unwilling to destroy Judah because he had told his servant David that that his descendants would always be kings.

In Jehoram’s days, Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah.

Ahaziah did what was evil in Yahweh’s sight, for Ahaziah was a son-in-law to the house of Ahab.

King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel.

He took the bottle of oil and went to Ramoth Gilead to anoint Jehu.

The prophet poured the oil on Jehu’s head.

If Jehu killed the family of Ahab, Yahweh would avenge the blood of his servants shed by the hand of Jezebel.

The dogs would eat Jezebel in Jezreel, and there would be no one to bury her.

After Jehu said he was anointed as king, each of the servants quickly took off his outer garment and put it under Jehu at the top of the steps. They blew the trumpet and said, “Jehu is king.”

King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds that the Arameans had given him.

The watchman saw the messenger speak to the men but did not come back ahead of them.

The watchman knew Jehu was driving the chariot, for he was driving wildly.

Joram king of Israel rode out with Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, to meet Jehu.

After Jehu shot Joram between his shoulders, the arrow went through Joram’s heart, and he sank down in his chariot.

Taking Joram’s body and throwing him into that field would bring to pass the things that were told would happen by the word of Yahweh.

Ahaziah was buried in his sepulchre with his fathers in the City of David.

It told the elders and guardians of Ahab’s descendants to select the best and most deserving of their master’s descendants and set him on his father’s throne and then defend him.

They did not make any man king because they realized that not even the two kings could stand before Jehu.

They took the king’s sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel.

Jehu said that no part of Yahweh’s word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, would fall to the ground, for Yahweh had done what he spoke about through his servant Elijah.

He met and killed forty-two men.

Jehu took Jonadab into the chariot because Jonadab said his heart was with Jehu, and he gave Jehu his hand.

He gathered them deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers of Baal.

They came into the temple of Baal.

If any of the worshipers of Baal escaped, whoever let that man escape, his life would be taken for the life of he who escaped.

They made the house of Baal into a latrine.

Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam because he worshiped the golden calves in Bethel and Dan.

Athaliah could not kill Joash because the soldiers could not find him.

The commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard had to make a covenant with Jehoiada and swear an oath in the house of Yahweh. Then he showed them the king’s son.

The two groups who were not serving on the Sabbath had to guard the house of Yahweh to protect young King Joash.

Jehoiada handed over to the commanders the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the house of Yahweh.

Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted because she saw King Joash standing by the pillar.

Athaliah was killed at the king’s house, for the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of Yahweh.”

After Jehoiada made a covenant, the people tore down the house of Baal, smashed Baal’s altars and his idol figures to pieces, and killed Mattan, the priest of Baal.

When Joash sat on the throne of the kings, all the people of the land rejoiced.

Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing him.

The people were motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give.

Joash told the priests this because they had not repaired anything in the temple.

The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into the chest all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.

The workers used the money for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid to repair it.

The money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because it belonged to the priests.

Joash took all the holy objects that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah had consecrated to Yahweh, his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king, and he sent them to Hazael, king of Aram. Then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.

Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, attacked Joash.

Jehoahaz implored Yahweh, so Yahweh gave Israel a rescuer.

The king of Aram had destroyed the army of Israel and made them like the dust at threshing time.

He told Joash to bring a bow and some arrows.

Because he hit the ground only three times, he would strike Aram only three times.

The man who was buried in Elisha’s grave revived and stood up on his feet as soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones.

Yahweh was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them and concern for them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Yahweh did not destroy them, and he did not drive them away from his presence.

As soon as his rule was well established, Amaziah killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.

Amaziah did not put the sons of the assassins to death because Yahweh had commanded him, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be put to death for his own sin.”

A wild beast in Lebanon trampled down the thistle.

He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king’s palace, and hostages also.

A conspiracy was made against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish and they killed him there.

Uzziah rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah.

Jeroboam heard through Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, that he should restore the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the sea of the Arabah.

Because Yahweh saw there was no rescuer for Israel, Yahweh saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Jehoash.
