 8:6 And when the king 4428 asked 7592 z8799 the woman, 802 shee tolde 5608 z8762 him. So the King 4428 appointed 5414 z8799 vnto her a certaine 259 officer, 5631 saying, 559 z8800 Restore 7725 z8685 x853 all x3605 that x834 was hers, and all x3605 the fruites 8393 of the field, 7704 since the day 3117 x4480 that she left 5800 z8800 x853 the land, 776 euen till x5704 now. x6258

 8:10 And Elisha 477 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Goe, y3212 z8798 x1980 say 559 z8798 vnto him, Thou mayest certeinly y2421 z8800 recouer: 2421 z8799 howbeit, the LORD 3068 hath shewed 7200 z8689 me, that x3588 he shall surely y4191 z8800 die. 4191 z8799

 8:11 And hee setled 5975 z8686 x853 his countenance 6440 stedfastly, 7760 z8799 vntill x5704 he was ashamed: 954 z8800 and the man 376 of God 430 wept. 1058 z8799

 8:12 And Hazael 2371 said, 559 z8799 Why x4069 weepeth 1058 z8802 my lord? 113 And he answered, 559 z8799 Because x3588 I know 3045 z8804 x853 the euill 7451 that x834 thou wilt doe 6213 z8799 vnto the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 their strong holds 4013 wilt thou set 7971 z8762 on fire, 784 and their young men 970 wilt thou slay 2026 z8799 with the sword, 2719 and wilt dash 7376 z8762 their children, 5768 and rip vp 1234 z8762 their women with childe. 2030

 8:13 And Hazael 2371 said, 559 z8799 But x3588 what, x4100 [is] thy seruant 5650 a dogge, 3611 that x3588 he should doe 6213 z8799 this x2088 great 1419 thing? 1697 And Elisha 477 answered, 559 z8799 The LORD 3068 hath shewed 7200 z8689 mee that thou [shalt be] king 4428 ouer x5921 Syria. 758

 8:14 So he departed y3212 z8799 x1980 from x4480 x854 Elisha, 477 and came 935 z8799 to x413 his master, 113 who saide 559 z8799 to him, What x4100 said 559 z8804 Elisha 477 to thee? and hee answered, 559 z8799 He told 559 z8804 me that thou shouldst surely y2421 z8800 recouer. 2421 z8799

 8:16 ¶ And in the fifth 2568 yeere 8141 of Ioram 3141 the sonne 1121 of Ahab 256 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 Iehoshaphat 3092 [being] then king 4428 of Iudah, 3063 Iehoram 3088 the sonne 1121 of Iehoshaphat 3092 king 4428 of Iudah 3063 began to reigne. 4427 z8804

 8:17 Thirtie 7970 and two 8147 yeeres 8141 old 1121 was x1961 he when he began to reigne, 4427 z8800 and hee reigned 4427 z8804 eight 8083 yeeres 8141 in Ierusalem. 3389

 8:18 And he walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of the kings 4428 of Israel, 3478 as x834 did 6213 z8804 the house 1004 of Ahab: 256 for x3588 the daughter 1323 of Ahab 256 was x1961 his wife, 802 and hee did 6213 z8799 euill 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD. 3068

 8:20 ¶ In his dayes 3117 Edom 123 reuolted 6586 z8804 from vnder x4480 x8478 the hand 3027 of Iudah, 3063 and made 4427 z8686 a king 4428 ouer x5921 themselues.

 8:21 So Ioram 3141 went ouer 5674 z8799 to Zair, 6811 and all x3605 the charets 7393 with x5973 him, and hee x1931 rose 6965 z8804 by night, 3915 and smote 5221 z8686 x853 the Edomites, 123 which compassed him about: 5437 z8802 x413 and the captaines 8269 of the charets, 7393 and the people 5971 fled 5127 z8799 into their tents. 168

 8:23 And the rest 3499 of the actes 1697 of Ioram, 3141 and all x3605 that x834 hee did, 6213 z8804 are they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the booke 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Iudah? 3063

 8:24 And Ioram 3141 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 with x5973 his fathers 1 in the citie 5892 of Dauid: 1732 And Ahaziah 274 his sonne 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 8:25 ¶ In the twelfth 8147 6240 y8141 yeere 8141 of Ioram 3141 the sonne 1121 of Ahab, 256 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 did Ahaziah, 274 the sonne 1121 of Iehoram 3088 king 4428 of Iudah, 3063 begin to reigne. 4427 z8804

 8:26 Two 8147 and twentie 6242 yeeres 8141 old 1121 [was] Ahaziah 274 when he began to reigne, 4427 z8800 and he reigned 4427 z8804 one 259 yeere 8141 in Ierusalem, 3389 and his mothers 517 name 8034 [was] Athaliah 6271 the daughter 1323 of Omri 6018 king 4428 of Israel. 3478

 8:28 ¶ And he went y3212 z8799 x1980 with x854 Ioram 3141 the sonne 1121 of Ahab, 256 to the warre 4421 against x5973 Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758 in Ramoth Gilead, 7433 y1568 and the Syrians 761 wounded 5221 z8686 x853 Ioram. 3141
