וַיָּבֹאוּ מִכָּל-הָעַמִּים לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת חָכְמַת שְׁלֹמֹה מֵאֵת כָּל-מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר שָֽׁמְעוּ אֶת-חָכְמָתֽוֹ׃
And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ חִירָם אֶת-דִּבְרֵי שְׁלֹמֹה וַיִּשְׂמַח מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לְדָוִד בֵּן חָכָם עַל-הָעָם הָרָב הַזֶּֽה׃
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
לְבַד מִשָּׂרֵי הַנִּצָּבִים לִשְׁלֹמֹה אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַמְּלָאכָה שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת הָֽרֹדִים בָּעָם הָֽעֹשִׂים בַּמְּלָאכָֽה׃
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא אֶֽעֱזֹב אֶת-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
מִן-הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם לֹֽא-בָחַרְתִּי בְעִיר מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לִֽהְיוֹת שְׁמִי שָׁם וָֽאֶבְחַר בְּדָוִד לִֽהְיוֹת עַל-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
וְשָׁמַעְתָּ אֶל-תְּחִנַּת עַבְדְּךָ וְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יִֽתְפַּלְלוּ אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע אֶל-מְקוֹם שִׁבְתְּךָ אֶל-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְשָֽׁמַעְתָּ וְסָלָֽחְתָּ׃
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
בְּֽהִנָּגֵף עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי אוֹיֵב אֲשֶׁר יֶֽחֶטְאוּ-לָךְ וְשָׁבוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְהוֹדוּ אֶת-שְׁמֶךָ וְהִתְפַּֽלְלוּ וְהִֽתְחַנְּנוּ אֵלֶיךָ בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּֽה׃
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם וְסָלַחְתָּ לְחַטַּאת עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַהֲשֵֽׁבֹתָם אֶל-הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּ לַֽאֲבוֹתָֽם׃
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
וְאַתָּה׀ תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם וְסָלַחְתָּ לְחַטַּאת עֲבָדֶיךָ וְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי תוֹרֵם אֶת-הַדֶּרֶךְ הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר יֵֽלְכוּ-בָהּ וְנָֽתַתָּה מָטָר עַל-אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר-נָתַתָּה לְעַמְּךָ לְנַֽחֲלָֽה׃
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
כָּל-תְּפִלָּה כָל-תְּחִנָּה אֲשֶׁר תִֽהְיֶה לְכָל-הָאָדָם לְכֹל עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יֵֽדְעוּן אִישׁ נֶגַע לְבָבוֹ וּפָרַשׂ כַּפָּיו אֶל-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּֽה׃
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
וְגַם אֶל-הַנָּכְרִי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-מֵעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא וּבָא מֵאֶרֶץ רְחוֹקָה לְמַעַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
אַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם מְכוֹן שִׁבְתֶּךָ וְעָשִׂיתָ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-יִקְרָא אֵלֶיךָ הַנָּכְרִי לְמַעַן יֵֽדְעוּן כָּל-עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ אֶת-שְׁמֶךָ לְיִרְאָה אֹֽתְךָ כְּעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלָדַעַת כִּֽי-שִׁמְךָ נִקְרָא עַל-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בָּנִֽיתִי׃
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
כִּֽי-יֵצֵא עַמְּךָ לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל-אֹיְבוֹ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁלָחֵם וְהִתְפַּֽלְלוּ אֶל-יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתָּ בָּהּ וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-בָּנִתִי לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
וְסָֽלַחְתָּ לְעַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר חָֽטְאוּ-לָךְ וּלְכָל-פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר פָּֽשְׁעוּ-בָךְ וּנְתַתָּם לְרַֽחֲמִים לִפְנֵי שֹֽׁבֵיהֶם וְרִֽחֲמֽוּם׃
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
כִּֽי-עַמְּךָ וְנַחֲלָֽתְךָ הֵם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתָ מִמִּצְרַיִם מִתּוֹךְ כּוּר הַבַּרְזֶֽל׃
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
לִֽהְיוֹת עֵינֶיךָ פְתֻחֹת אֶל-תְּחִנַּת עַבְדְּךָ וְאֶל-תְּחִנַּת עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִשְׁמֹעַ אֲלֵיהֶם בְּכֹל קָרְאָם אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
כִּֽי-אַתָּה הִבְדַּלְתָּם לְךָ לְֽנַחֲלָה מִכֹּל עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ בְּיַד׀ מֹשֶׁה עַבְדֶּךָ בְּהוֹצִֽיאֲךָ אֶת-אֲבֹתֵינוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַן מְנוּחָה לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר לֹֽא-נָפַל דָּבָר אֶחָד מִכֹּל דְּבָרוֹ הַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּֽוֹ׃
Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
וְיִֽהְיוּ דְבָרַי אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הִתְחַנַּנְתִּי לִפְנֵי יְהוָה קְרֹבִים אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת׀ מִשְׁפַּט עַבְדּוֹ וּמִשְׁפַּט עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃
And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
לְמַעַן דַּעַת כָּל-עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ כִּי יְהוָה הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֵין עֽוֹד׃
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי שִׁלַּח אֶת-הָעָם וַֽיְבָרֲכוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ לְאָֽהֳלֵיהֶם שְׂמֵחִים וְטוֹבֵי לֵב עַל כָּל-הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה לְדָוִד עַבְדּוֹ וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
וְהִכְרַתִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָֽאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לָהֶם וְאֶת-הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר הִקְדַּשְׁתִּי לִשְׁמִי אֲשַׁלַּח מֵעַל פָּנָי וְהָיָה יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמָשָׁל וְלִשְׁנִינָה בְּכָל-הָֽעַמִּֽים׃
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
כָּל-הָעָם הַנּוֹתָר מִן-הָֽאֱמֹרִי הַֽחִתִּי הַפְּרִזִּי הַֽחִוִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽמָּה׃
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
אֵלֶּה׀ שָׂרֵי הַנִּצָּבִים אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַמְּלָאכָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה חֲמִשִּׁים וַֽחֲמֵשׁ מֵאוֹת הָֽרֹדִים בָּעָם הָֽעֹשִׂים בַּמְּלָאכָֽה׃
These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ-עֹד שְׁלֹשָׁה יָמִים וְשׁוּבוּ אֵלָי וַיֵּֽלְכוּ הָעָֽם׃
And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
וַיִּוָּעַץ הַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם אֶת-הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר-הָיוּ עֹֽמְדִים אֶת-פְּנֵי שְׁלֹמֹה אָבִיו בִּֽהְיֹתוֹ חַי לֵאמֹר אֵיךְ אַתֶּם נֽוֹעָצִים לְהָשִׁיב אֶת-הָֽעָם-הַזֶּה דָּבָֽר׃
And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
(וידבר) וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר אִם-הַיּוֹם תִּֽהְיֶה-עֶבֶד לָעָם הַזֶּה וַֽעֲבַדְתָּם וַֽעֲנִיתָם וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם דְּבָרִים טוֹבִים וְהָיוּ לְךָ עֲבָדִים כָּל-הַיָּמִֽים׃
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מָה אַתֶּם נֽוֹעָצִים וְנָשִׁיב דָּבָר אֶת-הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ אֵלַי לֵאמֹר הָקֵל מִן-הָעֹל אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן אָבִיךָ עָלֵֽינוּ׃
And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו הַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר גָּֽדְלוּ אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה-תֹאמַר לָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר אָבִיךָ הִכְבִּיד אֶת-עֻלֵּנוּ וְאַתָּה הָקֵל מֵֽעָלֵינוּ כֹּה תְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם קָֽטָנִּי עָבָה מִמָּתְנֵי אָבִֽי׃
And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
(ויבו) וַיָּבוֹא יָֽרָבְעָם וְכָל-הָעָם אֶל-רְחַבְעָם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר שׁוּבוּ אֵלַי בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִֽׁי׃
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
וַיַּעַן הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-הָעָם קָשָׁה וַֽיַּעֲזֹב אֶת-עֲצַת הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר יְעָצֻֽהוּ׃
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
וְלֹֽא-שָׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הָעָם כִּֽי-הָיְתָה סִבָּה מֵעִם יְהוָה לְמַעַן הָקִים אֶת-דְּבָרוֹ אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה בְּיַד אֲחִיָּה הַשִּֽׁילֹנִי אֶל-יָֽרָבְעָם בֶּן-נְבָֽט׃
Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
וַיַּרְא כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לֹֽא-שָׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲלֵהֶם וַיָּשִׁבוּ הָעָם אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ׀ דָּבָר׀ לֵאמֹר מַה-לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוִד וְלֹֽא-נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן-יִשַׁי לְאֹֽהָלֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל עַתָּה רְאֵה בֵֽיתְךָ דָּוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹֽהָלָֽיו׃
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
אֱמֹר אֶל-רְחַבְעָם בֶּן-שְׁלֹמֹה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וְאֶל-כָּל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִין וְיֶתֶר הָעָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
אִֽם-יַעֲלֶה׀ הָעָם הַזֶּה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת זְבָחִים בְּבֵית-יְהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם וְשָׁב לֵב הָעָם הַזֶּה אֶל-אֲדֹנֵיהֶם אֶל-רְחַבְעָם מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַֽהֲרָגֻנִי וְשָׁבוּ אֶל-רְחַבְעָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָֽה׃
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
וַיְהִי הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה לְחַטָּאת וַיֵּֽלְכוּ הָעָם לִפְנֵי הָֽאֶחָד עַד-דָּֽן׃
And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת-בֵּית בָּמוֹת וַיַּעַשׂ כֹּֽהֲנִים מִקְצוֹת הָעָם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הָיוּ מִבְּנֵי לֵוִֽי׃
And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
אַחַר הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה לֹא-שָׁב יָֽרָבְעָם מִדַּרְכּוֹ הָֽרָעָה וַיָּשָׁב וַיַּעַשׂ מִקְצוֹת הָעָם כֹּֽהֲנֵי בָמוֹת הֶֽחָפֵץ יְמַלֵּא אֶת-יָדוֹ וִיהִי כֹּֽהֲנֵי בָמֽוֹת׃
After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
וַיֹּאמֶר יָֽרָבְעָם לְאִשְׁתּוֹ קוּמִי נָא וְהִשְׁתַּנִּית וְלֹא יֵֽדְעוּ כִּי-(אתי) אַתְּ אֵשֶׁת יָֽרָבְעָם וְהָלַכְתְּ שִׁלֹה הִנֵּה-שָׁם אֲחִיָּה הַנָּבִיא הֽוּא-דִבֶּר עָלַי לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-הָעָם הַזֶּֽה׃
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
לְכִי אִמְרִי לְיָֽרָבְעָם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יַעַן אֲשֶׁר הֲרִֽמֹתִיךָ מִתּוֹךְ הָעָם וָֽאֶתֶּנְךָ נָגִיד עַל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
יַעַן אֲשֶׁר הֲרִֽימֹתִיךָ מִן-הֶעָפָר וָֽאֶתֶּנְךָ נָגִיד עַל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתֵּלֶךְ׀ בְּדֶרֶךְ יָֽרָבְעָם וַֽתַּחֲטִא אֶת-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַכְעִיסֵנִי בְּחַטֹּאתָֽם׃
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
בִּשְׁנַת עֶשְׂרִים וָשֶׁבַע שָׁנָה לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ זִמְרִי שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בְּתִרְצָה וְהָעָם חֹנִים עַֽל-גִּבְּתוֹן אֲשֶׁר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
וַיִּשְׁמַע הָעָם הַֽחֹנִים לֵאמֹר קָשַׁר זִמְרִי וְגַם הִכָּה אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּמְלִכוּ כָֽל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-עָמְרִי שַׂר-צָבָא עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
אָז יֵֽחָלֵק הָעָם יִשְׂרָאֵל לַחֵצִי חֲצִי הָעָם הָיָה אַֽחֲרֵי תִבְנִי בֶן-גִּינַת לְהַמְלִיכוֹ וְהַֽחֲצִי אַֽחֲרֵי עָמְרִֽי׃
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
וַיֶּֽחֱזַק הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אַֽחֲרֵי עָמְרִי אֶת-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אַֽחֲרֵי תִּבְנִי בֶן-גִּינַת וַיָּמָת תִּבְנִי וַיִּמְלֹךְ עָמְרִֽי׃
But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵֽלִיָּהוּ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר עַד-מָתַי אַתֶּם פֹּֽסְחִים עַל-שְׁתֵּי הַסְּעִפִּים אִם-יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְכוּ אַֽחֲרָיו וְאִם-הַבַּעַל לְכוּ אַֽחֲרָיו וְלֹֽא-עָנוּ הָעָם אֹתוֹ דָּבָֽר׃
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽלִיָּהוּ אֶל-הָעָם אֲנִי נוֹתַרְתִּי נָבִיא לַֽיהוָה לְבַדִּי וּנְבִיאֵי הַבַּעַל אַרְבַּע-מֵאוֹת וַֽחֲמִשִּׁים אִֽישׁ׃
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
וּקְרָאתֶם בְּשֵׁם אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וַֽאֲנִי אֶקְרָא בְשֵׁם-יְהוָה וְהָיָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-יַֽעֲנֶה בָאֵשׁ הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַן כָּל-הָעָם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ טוֹב הַדָּבָֽר׃
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽלִיָּהוּ לְכָל-הָעָם גְּשׁוּ אֵלַי וַיִּגְּשׁוּ כָל-הָעָם אֵלָיו וַיְרַפֵּא אֶת-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה הֶֽהָרֽוּס׃
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
עֲנֵנִי יְהוָה עֲנֵנִי וְיֵֽדְעוּ הָעָם הַזֶּה כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאַתָּה הֲסִבֹּתָ אֶת-לִבָּם אֲחֹֽרַנִּֽית׃
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
וַיַּרְא כָּל-הָעָם וַֽיִּפְּלוּ עַל-פְּנֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ יְהוָה הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים יְהוָה הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
וַיָּשָׁב מֵאַֽחֲרָיו וַיִּקַּח אֶת-צֶמֶד הַבָּקָר וַיִּזְבָּחֵהוּ וּבִכְלִי הַבָּקָר בִּשְּׁלָם הַבָּשָׂר וַיִּתֵּן לָעָם וַיֹּאכֵלוּ וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ אַֽחֲרֵי אֵֽלִיָּהוּ וַֽיְשָׁרְתֵֽהוּ׃
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כָּל-הַזְּקֵנִים וְכָל-הָעָם אַל-תִּשְׁמַע וְלוֹא תֹאבֶֽה׃
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו בֶּן-הֲדַד וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּֽה-יַעֲשׂוּן לִי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יוֹסִפוּ אִם-יִשְׂפֹּק עֲפַר שֹֽׁמְרוֹן לִשְׁעָלִים לְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר בְּרַגְלָֽי׃
And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
וַיִּפְקֹד אֶֽת-נַעֲרֵי שָׂרֵי הַמְּדִינוֹת וַיִּֽהְיוּ מָאתַיִם שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים וְאַֽחֲרֵיהֶם פָּקַד אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִֽים׃
