2 Kings 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.	1 και ιωραμ υιος αχααβ εβασιλευσεν εν ισραηλ εν ετει οκτωκαιδεκατω ιωσαφατ βασιλει ιουδα και εβασιλευσεν δωδεκα ετη
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.	2 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου πλην ουχ ως ο πατηρ αυτου και ουχ ως η μητηρ αυτου και μετεστησεν τας στηλας του βααλ ας εποιησεν ο πατηρ αυτου
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.	3 πλην εν τη αμαρτια ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εκολληθη ουκ απεστη απ' αυτης
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.	4 και μωσα βασιλευς μωαβ ην νωκηδ και επεστρεφεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ εν τη επαναστασει εκατον χιλιαδας αρνων και εκατον χιλιαδας κριων επι ποκων
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.	5 και εγενετο μετα το αποθανειν αχααβ και ηθετησεν βασιλευς μωαβ εν βασιλει ισραηλ
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.	6 και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς ιωραμ εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ σαμαρειας και επεσκεψατο τον ισραηλ
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.	7 και επορευθη και εξαπεστειλεν προς ιωσαφατ βασιλεα ιουδα λεγων βασιλευς μωαβ ηθετησεν εν εμοι ει πορευση μετ' εμου εις μωαβ εις πολεμον και ειπεν αναβησομαι ομοιος μοι ομοιος σοι ως ο λαος μου ο λαος σου ως οι ιπποι μου οι ιπποι σου
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.	8 και ειπεν ποια οδω αναβω και ειπεν οδον ερημον εδωμ
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.	9 και επορευθη ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και ο βασιλευς ιουδα και ο βασιλευς εδωμ και εκυκλωσαν οδον επτα ημερων και ουκ ην υδωρ τη παρεμβολη και τοις κτηνεσιν τοις εν τοις ποσιν αυτων
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!	10 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ω οτι κεκληκεν κυριος τους τρεις βασιλεις παρερχομενους δουναι αυτους εν χειρι μωαβ
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.	11 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ ουκ εστιν ωδε προφητης του κυριου και επιζητησωμεν τον κυριον παρ' αυτου και απεκριθη εις των παιδων βασιλεως ισραηλ και ειπεν ωδε ελισαιε υιος σαφατ ος επεχεεν υδωρ επι χειρας ηλιου
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.	12 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ εστιν αυτω ρημα κυριου και κατεβη προς αυτον βασιλευς ισραηλ και ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα και βασιλευς εδωμ
13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.	13 και ειπεν ελισαιε προς βασιλεα ισραηλ τι εμοι και σοι δευρο προς τους προφητας του πατρος σου και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ισραηλ μη οτι κεκληκεν κυριος τους τρεις βασιλεις του παραδουναι αυτους εις χειρας μωαβ
14 And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.	14 και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος των δυναμεων ω παρεστην ενωπιον αυτου οτι ει μη προσωπον ιωσαφατ βασιλεως ιουδα εγω λαμβανω ει επεβλεψα προς σε και ειδον σε
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.	15 και νυνι δε λαβε μοι ψαλλοντα και εγενετο ως εψαλλεν ο ψαλλων και εγενετο επ' αυτον χειρ κυριου
16 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.	16 και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος ποιησατε τον χειμαρρουν τουτον βοθυνους βοθυνους
17 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.	17 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ οψεσθε πνευμα και ουκ οψεσθε υετον και ο χειμαρρους ουτος πλησθησεται υδατος και πιεσθε υμεις και αι κτησεις υμων και τα κτηνη υμων
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.	18 και κουφη αυτη εν οφθαλμοις κυριου και παραδωσω την μωαβ εν χειρι υμων
19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.	19 και παταξετε πασαν πολιν οχυραν και παν ξυλον αγαθον καταβαλειτε και πασας πηγας υδατος εμφραξετε και πασαν μεριδα αγαθην αχρειωσετε εν λιθοις
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.	20 και εγενετο το πρωι αναβαινουσης της θυσιας και ιδου υδατα ηρχοντο εξ οδου εδωμ και επλησθη η γη υδατος
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.	21 και πασα μωαβ ηκουσαν οτι ανεβησαν οι βασιλεις πολεμειν αυτους και ανεβοησαν εκ παντος περιεζωσμενου ζωνην και επανω και εστησαν επι του οριου
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:	22 και ωρθρισαν το πρωι και ο ηλιος ανετειλεν επι τα υδατα και ειδεν μωαβ εξ εναντιας τα υδατα πυρρα ωσει αιμα
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.	23 και ειπαν αιμα τουτο της ρομφαιας εμαχεσαντο οι βασιλεις και επαταξαν ανηρ τον πλησιον αυτου και νυν επι τα σκυλα μωαβ
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.	24 και εισηλθον εις την παρεμβολην ισραηλ και ισραηλ ανεστησαν και επαταξαν την μωαβ και εφυγον απο προσωπου αυτων και εισηλθον εισπορευομενοι και τυπτοντες την μωαβ
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.	25 και τας πολεις καθειλον και πασαν μεριδα αγαθην ερριψαν ανηρ τον λιθον και ενεπλησαν αυτην και πασαν πηγην υδατος ενεφραξαν και παν ξυλον αγαθον κατεβαλον εως του καταλιπειν τους λιθους του τοιχου καθηρημενους και εκυκλευσαν οι σφενδονηται και επαταξαν αυτην
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.	26 και ειδεν ο βασιλευς μωαβ οτι εκραταιωσεν υπερ αυτον ο πολεμος και ελαβεν μεθ' εαυτου επτακοσιους ανδρας εσπασμενους ρομφαιαν διακοψαι προς βασιλεα εδωμ και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.	27 και ελαβεν τον υιον αυτου τον πρωτοτοκον ος εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου και ανηνεγκεν αυτον ολοκαυτωμα επι του τειχους και εγενετο μεταμελος μεγας επι ισραηλ και απηραν απ' αυτου και επεστρεψαν εις την γην
