And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions. So they put themselves in position for attacking the town.

וְהַמְּלָכִ֖ים (מְּלָכִ֖ים) me.la.Khim “kings”

Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

וְהַמְּלָכִ֛ים (מְּלָכִ֛ים) me.la.Khim “kings”מֶ֖לֶךְ Me.lekh “king[s]”

And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

And the king of Israel went out and took the horses and the war-carriages, and made great destruction among the Aramaeans.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then the king of Aram's servants said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we: but if we make an attack on them in the lowlands, we will certainly be stronger than they.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;

הַמְּלָכִים֙ (מְּלָכִים֙) me.la.Khim “kings”

And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.

מַלְכֵי֙ mal.Khei “[the] kings of”מַלְכֵ֥י mal.Khei “[are] kings of”מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.

לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to giv

But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him, You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Then he quickly took the head-band from his eyes; and the king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.

מֶ֖לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

וָמֶ֑לֶךְ (מֶ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “[the] king”

And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.

וָמֶ֑לֶךְ (מֶ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “[the] king”

Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”
