The Fourth Book of Kingdoms, Chapter 13ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ′ ΙΓ′

ἐν ἔτει εἰκοστῷ καὶ τρίτῳ ἔτει τῷ Ιωας υἱῷ Οχοζιου βασιλεῖ Ιουδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωαχας υἱὸς Ιου ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη

In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω ἁμαρτιῶν Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he did not turn away from them.

καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Αζαηλ βασιλέως Συρίας καὶ ἐν χειρὶ υἱοῦ Αδερ υἱοῦ Αζαηλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

And the LORD was angered with wrath against Israel, and gave them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.

καὶ ἐδεήθη Ιωαχας τοῦ προσώπου κυρίου καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ κύριος ὅτι εἶδεν τὴν θλῖψιν Ισραηλ ὅτι ἔθλιψεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Συρίας

And Jehoahaz entreated the face of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him, because he saw the affliction of Israel, for the king of Aram afflicted them.

καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος σωτηρίαν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Συρίας καὶ ἐκάθισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν καθὼς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης

And the LORD gave deliverance to Israel, and they came out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwelt in their tents as yesterday and the day before.

πλὴν οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτιῶν οἴκου Ιεροβοαμ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν αὐταῖς ἐπορεύθησαν καί γε τὸ ἄλσος ἐστάθη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

Nevertheless they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin; they walked in them, and the sacred grove also remained standing in Samaria.

ὅτι οὐχ ὑπελείφθη τῷ Ιωαχας λαὸς ἀλλ᾿ ἢ πεντήκοντα ἱππεῖς καὶ δέκα ἅρματα καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες πεζῶν ὅτι ἀπώλεσεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Συρίας καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν εἰς καταπάτησιν

For there was left to Jehoahaz no army except fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand foot-soldiers, because the king of Aram destroyed them and made them like dust for trampling.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωαχας καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds—are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωαχας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in Samaria, and Joash his son reigned in his place.

ἐν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ ἔτει τῷ Ιωας βασιλεῖ Ιουδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωας υἱὸς Ιωαχας ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη

In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Joash son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πάσης ἁμαρτίας Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν αὐταῖς ἐπορεύθη

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not turn away from all the sin of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he walked in them.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωας καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ ἃς ἐποίησεν μετὰ Αμεσσιου βασιλέως Ιουδα οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds which he performed against Amaziah king of Judah—are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ Ιεροβοαμ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ

And Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne in Samaria among the sons of Israel.

καὶ Ελισαιε ἠρρώστησεν τὴν ἀρρωστίαν αὐτοῦ δι᾿ ἣν ἀπέθανεν καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν Ιωας βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπὶ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πάτερ πάτερ ἅρμα Ισραηλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ

Now Elisha fell ill with the illness of which he was to die; and Joash king of Israel came down to him and wept over his face and said, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horseman!'

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ελισαιε λαβὲ τόξον καὶ βέλη καὶ ἔλαβεν πρὸς αὐτὸν τόξον καὶ βέλη

And Elisha said to him, 'Take a bow and arrows.' And he took to himself a bow and arrows.

καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπιβίβασον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὸ τόξον καὶ ἐπεβίβασεν Ιωας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ τόξον καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ελισαιε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως

And he said to the king, 'Set your hand upon the bow.' And Joash set his hand upon the bow, and Elisha laid his hands upon the king's hands.

καὶ εἶπεν ἄνοιξον τὴν θυρίδα κατ᾿ ἀνατολάς καὶ ἤνοιξεν καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε τόξευσον καὶ ἐτόξευσεν καὶ εἶπεν βέλος σωτηρίας τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ βέλος σωτηρίας ἐν Συρίᾳ καὶ πατάξεις τὴν Συρίαν ἐν Αφεκ ἕως συντελείας

And he said, 'Open the window toward the east.' And he opened it. And Elisha said, 'Shoot.' And he shot. And he said, 'An arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and an arrow of deliverance against Aram; and you shall strike Aram in Aphek until they are finished.'

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ελισαιε λαβὲ τόξα καὶ ἔλαβεν καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ πάταξον εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τρὶς καὶ ἔστη

And Elisha said to him, 'Take the arrows.' And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, 'Strike upon the ground.' And the king struck three times and stopped.

καὶ ἐλυπήθη ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπεν εἰ ἐπάταξας πεντάκις ἢ ἑξάκις τότε ἂν ἐπάταξας τὴν Συρίαν ἕως συντελείας καὶ νῦν τρὶς πατάξεις τὴν Συρίαν

And the man of God was grieved over him and said, 'If you had struck five or six times, then you would have struck Aram until utter destruction; but now you shall strike Aram only three times.'

καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ελισαιε καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν καὶ μονόζωνοι Μωαβ ἦλθον ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐλθόντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ

And Elisha died, and they buried him. And bands of raiders of Moab came into the land at the coming of the year.

καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν θαπτόντων τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ ἰδοὺ εἶδον τὸν μονόζωνον καὶ ἔρριψαν τὸν ἄνδρα ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἥψατο τῶν ὀστέων Ελισαιε καὶ ἔζησεν καὶ ἀνέστη ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

And it happened, as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw the raiding band; and they threw the man into Elisha's tomb, and he went down and touched the bones of Elisha, and he came to life and stood upon his feet.

καὶ Αζαηλ ἐξέθλιψεν τὸν Ισραηλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Ιωαχας

And Hazael oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

καὶ ἠλέησεν κύριος αὐτοὺς καὶ οἰκτίρησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς διὰ τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ τὴν μετὰ Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ιακωβ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν κύριος διαφθεῖραι αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ

And the LORD had mercy on them and pitied them and regarded them, because of his covenant with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob; and the LORD did not will to destroy them, nor did he cast them away from his presence.

καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αζαηλ βασιλεὺς Συρίας καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν υἱὸς Αδερ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Hazael king of Aram died, and Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his place.

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ιωας υἱὸς Ιωαχας καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰς πόλεις ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ Αδερ υἱοῦ Αζαηλ ἃς ἔλαβεν ἐκ χειρὸς Ιωαχας τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τρὶς ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ιωας καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὰς πόλεις Ισραηλ

And Joash son of Jehoahaz turned back and took the cities from the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times Joash struck him and recovered the cities of Israel.
