RF KI2 8:1 (B.C. 891.) Elisha advises the Shunamite lady of an approaching famine.
Alisha also warned the lady whose son he had revived for her, "Arise and go, yourself and family, and stay where you can stay, for the EVER-LIVING will call a famine, and also bring it upon the country for seven years."1
RF KI2 8:2 The woman therefore arose, and did as the MAN of GOD commanded, and went with her family, and stayed in the country of the Philishtim for seven years.
RF KI2 8:3 (B.C. 885.) But when the seven years were ended, the woman returned from the country of the Philishtim, and came to appeal to the king for her house and land,
RF KI2 8:4 while the king was speaking with Gehazi, the attendant of the MAN of GOD, and asking, "Tell me, I pray you, all the great things Alisha has done."
RF KI2 8:5 And he was relating to the king how he had restored the dead to life, when the woman, whose son had been restored to life, appealed to the king about her house and land. Gehazi therefore said, "Your Majesty! This is the woman!—and this is her son, whom Alisha restored to life!"
RF KI2 8:6 The king then questioned the woman, and she told him, when the king committed her to an Officer with an order to return to her all that was hers, with all the produce of the estate from the day she left the country until then.
RF KI2 8:7 (B.C. 881.) Elisha goes to Damascus and foretells the Cruel Crimes of Hazhaal.
Alisha afterwards went to Damascus, when Ben-hadad the king of Aram was sick, and it was reported to him, that "The MAN of GOD has come here."
RF KI2 8:8 The king consequently said to Hazhaal, "Take a present with you, and go and meet the MAN of GOD, and enquire of the EVER-LIVING through him if I shall recover from this sickness."
RF KI2 8:9 Hazhaal therefore went to meet him, and took a present with him of all the best in Damascus loaded upon forty camels, and went and presented himself before him, and said, "Your servant Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, 'Shall I recover from this illness?'"
—————
1 This famine must not be confused with that of three years in the time of Akhab, as many commentators and readers imagine; but was an entirely different event.—F.F.
RF KI2 8:10 When Alisha answered him, "Go! Say, 'You will not live'—for the EVER-LIVING has shown me he shall die."
RF KI2 8:11 He, however, fixed himself before him, and stood stiff with insolence. Then the MAN of GOD wept.
RF KI2 8:12 When Hazhaal asked, "Why do you weep, Sir?" And he answered, "Because I know what cruelty you will do to the children of Israel! You will set fire to their towns; and murder their youths with the sword; and tear their infants to pieces; and rip up their women with child!"
RF KI2 8:13 Hazhaal, however, exclaimed,—"What is your servant? Is he a dog?—that he should do such horrible things?" When Alisha replied, "The EVER-LIVING has shown me YOURSELF, when king over Aram."
RF KI2 8:14 (B.C. 885.) Hazhaal Murders Ben-Hadad.
He then left Alisha, and went to his Prince, who asked him, "What did Alisha say to you?" And he replied, "He told me you should recover."
RF KI2 8:15 But some days after he took a towel and dipped it in water and spread it over his face, and he died, and Hazhaal reigned instead of him,
RF KI2 8:16 (B.C. 892.) Reign of Jehoram-ben-Jhoshafat.
In the fifth year of Joram-ben-Akhab king of Israel, Jehoram-ben-Jhoshafat began to reign over Judah in conjunction with Jehoshaphat, as kings of Judah.
RF KI2 8:17 He was thirty-two years old at his coronation, and reigned eight years in Jerusalem,
RF KI2 8:18 and went in the way of the kings of Israel, as the family of Akhab did;—for a daughter of Akhab was his wife. Thus he did evil in the sight of the EVER-LIVING.
RF KI2 8:19 But the EVER-LIVING did not desire to wreck Judah because of David his servant, as He had promised to give him a light from his descendants for all time.
RF KI2 8:20 (B.C. 892.) Edom Revolts from Judah.
In his days Edom revolted from under the control of Judah, and crowned a king over themselves.
RF KI2 8:21 Joram consequently advanced to Tzair and all his charioteers with him, but Edom advanced by night and defeated his outposts and the commanders of the chariots; so the army fled to their homes.
RF KI2 8:22 Edom consequently revolted from under the control of Judah to this day, and Libnah also at the same time.
RF KI2 8:23 The rest of the affairs of Joram, and all that he did, are written in the history of events in the days of the kings of Judah.
RF KI2 8:24 When Joram slept with his fathers he was buried with his fathers in the City of David, and Akhaziah, his son, reigned after him.
RF KI2 8:25 (B.C. 885.) Reign of Ahaziah over Judah.
In the twelfth year of Joram-ben-Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah-ben-Jehoram began to reign in Judah.
RF KI2 8:26 Akhaziah was twenty-two years old at his coronation, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Athaliah, a daughter of Gomri, king of Israel,
RF KI2 8:27 and he walked in the path of the house of Akhab, and did wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, like the house of Akhab; for he was connected by marriage to the family of Akhab.
RF KI2 8:28 (B.C. 884.) Joram at war with Hazhaal.
When Joram-ben-Akhab went to war with Hazhaal, king of Aram, at Ramoth-Gilad, the Aramites defeated Joram.
RF KI2 8:29 King Joram returned to be cured to Jezreel of the wounds which the Aramites had given him at Ramoth, where he fought with Hazhaal, king of Aram. So Akhaziah-ben-Joram, king of Judah, came to visit Joram-ben-Akhab in Jezreel while he was ill.
