ΚΑΙ ῾Ελισαιὲ ὁ προφήτης ἐκάλεσεν ἕνα τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ λαβὲ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ἐλαίου τούτου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ δεῦρο εἰς Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαάδ· 2 καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ ἐκεῖ καὶ ὄψῃ ἐκεῖ ᾿Ιοὺ υἱὸν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱοῦ Ναμεσσὶ καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀναστήσεις αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσάξεις αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον ἐν ταμιείῳ· 3 καὶ λήψῃ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἐπιχεεῖς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ ἀνοίξεις τὴν θύρα καὶ φεύξῃ καὶ οὐ μενεῖς. 4 καὶ ἐπορεύθη τὸ παιδάριον ὁ προφήτης εἰς Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαὰδ 5 καὶ εἰσῆλθε, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς δυνάμεως ἐκάθηντο, καὶ εἶπε· λόγος μοι πρὸς σέ, ὁ ἄρχων. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιού· πρὸς τίνα ἐκ πάντων ἡμῶν; καὶ εἶπε· πρὸς σέ, ὁ ἄρχων. 6 καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἐπέχεε τὸ ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ λαὸν Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, 7 καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσεις τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αχαὰβ τοῦ κυρίου σου ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ ἐκδικήσεις τὰ αἵματα τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τὰ αἵματα πάντων τῶν δούλων Κυρίου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾿Ιεζάβελ 8 καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς ὅλου τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Αχαὰβ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσεις τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Αχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ· 9 καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αχαὰβ ὡς τὸν οἶκον ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ υἱοῦ ᾿Αχιά· 10 καὶ τὴν ᾿Ιεζάβελ καταφάγονται οἱ κύνες ἐν τῇ μερίδι ᾿Ιεζράελ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θάπτων. καὶ ἤνοιξε τὴν θύραν καὶ ἔφυγε. 11 καὶ ᾿Ιοὺ ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· εἰρήνη; τί ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν ὁ ἐπίληπτος οὗτος πρὸς σέ; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς οἴδατε τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ τὴν ἀδολεσχίαν αὐτοῦ. 12 καὶ εἶπον· ἄδικον· ἀπάγγειλον δὴ ἡμῖν. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιοὺ πρὸς αὐτούς· οὕτω καὶ οὕτω ἐλάλησε πρός με λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ. 13 καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἔσπευσαν καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκαν ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ γαρὲμ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ἐν κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπαν· ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιού. 14 καὶ συνεστράφη ᾿Ιοὺ υἱὸς ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱοῦ Ναμεσσὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιωρὰμ καὶ ᾿Ιωρὰμ αὐτὸς ἐφύλασσεν ἐν Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαάδ, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας, 15 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰατρευθῆναι ἐν ᾿Ιεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, ὧν ἔπαισαν αὐτὸν οἱ Σύριοι ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν μετὰ ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιού· εἰ ἔστι ψυχὴ ὑμῶν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐξελθέτω ἐκ τῆς πόλεως διαπεφευγὼς τοῦ πορευθῆναι καὶ ἀπαγγεῖλαι ἐν ᾿Ιεζράελ. 16 καὶ ἵππευσε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Ιοὺ καὶ κατέβη εἰς ᾿Ιεζράελ, ὅτι ᾿Ιωρὰμ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐθαραπεύετο ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν τοξευμάτων, ὧν κατετόξευσαν αὐτὸν οἱ ᾿Αραμὶν ἐν τῇ Ραμμὰθ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ μετὰ ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας, ὅτι αὐτὸς δυνατὸς καὶ ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως, καὶ ᾿Οχοζίας βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα κατέβη ἰδεῖν τὸν ᾿Ιωράμ. 17 καὶ ὁ σκοπὸς ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν πύργον ᾿Ιεζράελ καὶ εἶδε τὸν κονιορτὸν ᾿Ιοὺ ἐν τῷ παραγίνεσθαι αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· κονιορτὸν ἐγὼ βλέπω. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωράμ· λαβὲ ἐπιβάτην καὶ ἀπόστειλον ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰπάτω, εἰ εἰρήνη. 18 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐπιβάτης ἵππου εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς, εἰ εἰρήνη. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιού· τί σοι καὶ εἰρήνη; ἐπίστρεφε εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου. καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων· ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψε. 19 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιβάτην ἵππου δεύτερον, καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰ εἰρήνη. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιού· τί σοι καὶ εἰρήνη; ἐπιστρέφου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου. 20 καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων· ἦλθεν ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψε· καὶ ὁ ἄγων ἦγε τὸν ᾿Ιοὺ υἱὸν Ναμεσσί, ὅτι ἐν παραλλαγῇ ἐγένετο. 21 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωράμ· ζεῦξον· καὶ ἔζευξεν ἅρμα. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Οχοζίας βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα, ἀνὴρ ἐν τῷ ἅρματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπαντὴν ᾿Ιοὺ καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ ᾿Ιεζραηλίτου. 22 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ τὸν ᾿Ιού, καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ εἰρήνη ᾿Ιού; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιού· τί εἰρήνη; ἔτι αἱ πορνεῖαι ᾿Ιεζάβελ τῆς μητρός σου καὶ τὰ φάρμακα αὐτῆς τὰ πολλά. 23 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ τοῦ φυγεῖν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς ᾿Οχοζίαν· δόλος, ᾿Οχοζία. 24 καὶ ἔπλησεν ᾿Ιοὺ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ τόξῳ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ᾿Ιωρὰμ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν βραχιόνων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε τὸ βέλος αὐτοῦ διὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ. 25 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Βαδεκὰρ τὸν τριστάτην αὐτοῦ· ρῖψον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι ἀγροῦ Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ ᾿Ιεζραηλίτου· ὅτι μνημονεύω, ἐγὼ καὶ σὺ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ζεύγη ὀπίσω ᾿Αχαὰβ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Κύριος ἔλαβεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸ λῆμμα τοῦτο λέγων· 26 εἰ μὴ τὰ αἵματα Ναβουθαὶ καὶ τὰ αἵματα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ εἶδον ἐχθές, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ μερίδι ταύτῃ, φησὶ Κύριος· καὶ νῦν ἄρας δὴ ρῖψον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου. 27 καὶ ᾿Οχοζίας βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα εἶδε καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁδὸν Βαιθαγγάν, καὶ ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιοὺ καὶ εἶπε· καί γε αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τῷ ἅρματι ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν Γαΐ, ἥ ἐστιν ᾿Ιεβλαάμ, καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Μαγεδδὼ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ. 28 καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ. 29 καὶ ἐν ἔτει ἑνδεκάτῳ ᾿Ιωρὰμ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Οχοζίας ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν. 30 καὶ ἦλθεν ᾿Ιοὺ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιεζράελ· καὶ ᾿Ιεζάβελ ἤκουσε καὶ ἐστιμίσατο τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ ἠγάθυνε τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ διέκυψε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος. 31 καὶ ᾿Ιοὺ εἰσεπορεύετο ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ εἰρήνη, Ζαμβρὶ ὁ φονευτὴς τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ; 32 καὶ ἐπῆρε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν θυρίδα καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπε· τί εἶ σύ; κατάβηθι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ. καὶ κατέκυψαν πρὸς αὐτὸν δύο εὐνοῦχοι· 33 καὶ εἶπε· κυλίσατε αὐτήν, καὶ ἐκύλισαν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐρραντίσθη τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἵππους, καὶ συνεπάτησαν αὐτήν. 34 καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιε καὶ εἶπεν· ἐπισκέψασθε δὴ τὴν κατηραμένην ταύτην καὶ θάψατε αὐτήν, ὅτι θυγάτηρ βασιλέως ἐστί. 35 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν θάψαι αὐτὴν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον ἐν αὐτῇ ἄλλο τι ἢ τὸ κρανίον καὶ οἱ πόδες καὶ τὰ ἴχνη τῶν χειρῶν. 36 καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἶπε· λόγος Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Ηλιοὺ τοῦ Θεσβίτου λέγων· ἐν τῇ μερίδι ᾿Ιεζράελ καταφάγονται οἱ κύνες τὰς σάρκας ᾿Ιεζάβελ, 37 καὶ ἔσται τὸ θνησιμαῖον ᾿Ιεζάβελ ὡς κοπρία ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐν τῇ μερίδι ᾿Ιεζράελ, ὥστε μὴ εἰπεῖν αὐτοὺς ᾿Ιεζάβελ.

ΚΑΙ ῾Ελισαιὲ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, ἧς ἐζωπύρησε τὸν υἱόν, λέγων· ἀνάστηθι καὶ δεῦρο σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ παροίκει, οὗ ἐὰν παροικήσῃς, ὅτι κέκληκε Κύριος λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καί γε ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτὰ ἔτη. 2 καὶ ἀνέστη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐποίησε κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ αὐτὴ καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς καὶ παρῴκει ἐν γῇ ἀλλοφύλων ἑπτὰ ἔτη. 3 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ γῆς ἀλλοφύλων εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἦλθε βοῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν αὐτῆς. 4 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐλάλει πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον ῾Ελισαιὲ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θοεῦ λέγων· διήγησαι δὴ ἐμοὶ πάντα τὰ μεγάλα, ἃ ἐποίησεν ῾Ελισαιέ. 5 καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἐξηγουμένου τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὡς ἐζωπύρησεν υἱὸν τεθνηκότα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνή, ἧς ἐζωπύρησε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς ῾Ελισαιέ, βοῶσα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἑαυτῆς· καὶ εἶπε Γιεζί· κύριε βασιλεῦ, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ οὖτος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς, ὃν ἐζωπύρησεν ῾Ελισαιέ. 6 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτῷ· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα λέγων· ἐπίστρεψον πάντα τὰ αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα τὰ γενήματα τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς κατέλιπε τὴν γῆν ἕως τοῦ νῦν. 7 Καὶ ἦλθεν ῾Ελισαιὲ εἰς Δαμασκόν, καὶ υἱὸς ῎Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἠρρώστει, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· ἥκει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕως ὧδε. 8 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Αζαήλ· λάβε ἐν τῇ χειρί σου μαναὰ καὶ δεῦρο εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπιζήτησον τὸν Κύριον παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ λέγων· εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης; 9 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Αζαὴλ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβε μαναὰ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ Δαμασκοῦ, ἄρσιν τεσσαράκοντα καμήλων, καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· υἱός σου υἱὸς ῎Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀπέστειλέ με πρός σε ἐπερωτῆσαι λέγων· εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης; 10 καὶ καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· δεῦρο εἰπὸν αὐτῷ· ζωῇ ζήσῃ· καὶ ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ· 11 καὶ παρέστη τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκεν ἕως αἰσχύνης, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ. 12 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αζαήλ· τί ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου κλαίει; καὶ εἶπεν· ὅτι οἶδα ὅσα ποιήσεις τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ κακά· τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς ἐν πυρὶ καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ ἀποκτενεῖς καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῶν ἐνσείσεις καὶ τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας αὐτῶν ἀναρρήξεις. 13 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αζαήλ· τίς ἐστιν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκώς, ὅτι ποιήσει τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο; καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριός σε βασιλεύοντα ἐπὶ Συρίαν. 14 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί εἶπέ σοι ῾Ελισαιέ; καὶ εἶπεν· εἶπέ μοι, ζωῇ ζήσῃ. 15 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἐπαύριον, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ μαχμὰ καὶ ἔβαψεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι καὶ περιέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανε, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Αζαὴλ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ. 16 ᾿Εν ἔτει πέμπτῳ τῷ ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱῷ ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱὸς ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα. 17 υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 18 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέων ᾿Ισραήλ, καθὼς ἐποίησεν οἶκος ᾿Αχαάβ, ὅτι θυγάτηρ ᾿Αχαὰβ ἦν αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα· καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου. 19 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Κύριος διαφθεῖραι τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, καθὼς εἶπε δοῦναι αὐτῷ λύχνον καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας. 20 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἠθέτησεν ᾿Εδὼμ ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς βασιλέα. 21 καὶ ἀνέβη ᾿Ιωρὰμ εἰς Σιὼρ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα τὰ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀναστάντος καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ᾿Εδὼμ τὸν κυκλώσαντα ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν. 22 καὶ ἠθέτησεν ᾿Εδὼμ ὑποκάτω τῆς χειρὸς ᾿Ιούδα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. τότε ἠθέτησε Λοβενὰ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ. 23 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Ιωρὰμ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ιούδα; 24 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Ιωρὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Οχοζίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ. 25 ᾿Εν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱῷ ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Οχοζίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωράμ. 26 υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν ᾿Οχοζίας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Γοθολία θυγάτηρ ᾿Αμβρὶ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραήλ. 27 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ οἴκου ᾿Αχαὰβ καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καθὼς ὁ οἶκος ᾿Αχαάβ. 28 καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱοῦ ᾿Αχαὰβ εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέως ἀλλοφύλων ἐν Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαάδ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν οἱ Σύροι τὸν ᾿Ιωράμ. 29 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιωρὰμ τοῦ ἰατρευθῆναι ἐν ᾿Ιεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, ὧν ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν Ρεμμὼθ ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν μετὰ ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας· καὶ ᾿Οχοζίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωρὰμ κατέβη τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱὸν ᾿Αχαὰβ ἐν ᾿Ιεζράελ, ὅτι ἠρρώστει αὐτός.

ΚΑΙ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ἄκουσον λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας. 2 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης, ἐφ᾿ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, τῷ ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ποιήσει Κύριος καταράκτας ἐν οὐρανῷ, μὴ ἔσται τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο; καὶ ῾Ελισαιὲ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψει τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ. 3 καὶ τέσσαρες ἄνδρες ἦσαν λεπροὶ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πόλεως, καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα ὧδε, ἕως ἀποθάνωμεν; 4 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐὰν καθίσωμεν ὧδε, καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα. καὶ νῦν δεῦτε καὶ ἐμπέσωμεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας· ἐὰν ζωογονήσωσιν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ζησόμεθα· καὶ ἐὰν θανατώσωσιν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα. 5 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐν τῷ σκότει εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἦλθον εἰς μέρος παρεμβολῆς Συρίας, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκεῖ. 6 καὶ κύριος ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησε παρεμβολὴν τὴν Συρίας φωνὴν ἅρματος καὶ φωνὴν ἵππου, φωνὴν δυνάμεως μεγάλης, καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ· νῦν ἐμισθώσατο ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τοὺς βασιλέας τῶν Χετταίων καὶ τοὺς βασιλέας Αἰγύπτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς. 7 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ὥς ἐστι καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς τὴν ψυχὴν ἑαυτῶν. 8 καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ λεπροὶ οὗτοι ἕως μέρους τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν μίαν καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ᾖραν ἐκεῖθεν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἱματισμὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν ἄλλην καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ κατέκρυψαν. 9 καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· οὐχ οὕτως ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν· ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἡμέρα εὐαγγελίας ἐστί, καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν καὶ μένομεν ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ καὶ εὑρήσομεν ἀνομίαν· καὶ νῦν δεῦρο καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν καὶ ἀναγγείλωμεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως. 10 καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς, λέγοντες· εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ ἀνὴρ καὶ φωνὴ ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἵππος δεδεμένος καὶ ὄνος καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ αὐτῶν ὡς εἰσί. 11 καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ θυρωροὶ καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως ἔσω. 12 καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἀναγγελῶ δὴ ὑμῖν ἃ ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν Συρία· ἔγνωσαν ὅτι πεινῶμεν ἡμεῖς, καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐκρύβησαν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ λέγοντες· ὅτι ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ συλληψόμεθα αὐτοὺς ζῶντας καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν εἰσελευσόμεθα. 13 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε· λαβέτωσαν δὴ πέντε τῶν ἵππων τῶν ὑπολελειμμένων, οἳ κατελείφθησαν ὧδε, ἰδού εἰσι πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ᾿Ισραὴλ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον· καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ὀψόμεθα. 14 καὶ ἔλαβον δύο ἐπιβάτας ἵππων, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως Συρίας λέγων· δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε. 15 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ ὁδὸς πλήρης ἱματίων καὶ σκευῶν, ὧν ἔρριψε Συρία ἐν τῷ θαμβεῖσθαι αὐτούς· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ. 16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διήρπασαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας, καὶ ἐγένετο μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου, κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου. 17 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατέστησε τὸν τριστάτην, ἐφ᾿ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύσατο τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης. καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἀπέθανε, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ καταβῆναι τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν. 18 καὶ ἐγένετο καθὰ ἐλάλησεν ῾Ελισαιὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων· δίμετρον κριθῆς σίκλου καὶ μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὔριον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Σαμαρείας· 19 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης τῷ ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ Κύριος ποιεῖ καταράκτας ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, μὴ ἔσται τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο; καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μὴ φάγῃ. 20 καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως, καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανε.

ΚΑΙ εἶπον υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ τόπος, ἐν ᾧ ἡμεῖς οἰκοῦμεν ἐνώπιόν σου, στενὸς ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν· 2 πορευθῶμεν δὴ ἕως τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου καὶ λάβωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἷς δοκόν μίαν καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ. καὶ εἶπε· δεῦτε. 3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ εἷς ἐπιεικῶς· δεῦρο μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου· καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι. 4 καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ ἔτεμνον τὰ ξύλα. 5 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ εἷς καταβάλλων τὴν δοκόν, καὶ τὸ σιδήριον ἐξέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐβόησεν· ὧ Κύριε, καὶ αὐτὸ κεκρυμμένον. 6 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ· ποῦ ἔπεσε; καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τὸν τόπον. καὶ ἀπέκνισε ξύλον καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐπεπόλασε τὸ σιδήριον. 7 καὶ εἴρηκεν· ὕψωσον σεαυτῷ· καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτό. 8 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ λέγων· εἰς τὸν τόπον τόνδε τινὰ ἐλμωνὶ παρεμβαλῶ. 9 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ῾Ελισαιὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· φύλαξαι μὴ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ Συρία κέκρυπται. 10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ῾Ελισαιέ, καὶ ἐφυλάξατο ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μίαν οὐδὲ δύο. 11 καὶ ἐξεκινήθη ἡ ψυχὴ βασιλέως Συρίας περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι τίς προδίδωσί με βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραήλ; 12 καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ· οὐχί κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὅτι ῾Ελισαιὲ ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀναγγέλλει τῷ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραὴλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐὰν λαλήσῃς ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τοῦ κοιτῶνός σου. 13 καὶ εἶπε· δεῦτε ἴδετε ποῦ οὗτος, καὶ ἀποστείλας λήψομαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ ἐν Δωθαΐμ. 14 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖ ἵππον καὶ ἅρμα καὶ δύναμιν βαρεῖαν, καὶ ἦλθον νυκτὸς καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν πόλιν. 15 καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λειτουργὸς ῾Ελισαιὲ ἀναστῆναι καὶ ἐξῆλθε, καὶ ἰδοὺ δύναμις κυκλοῦσα τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα, καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς αὐτόν· ὦ κύριε, πῶς ποιήσομεν; 16 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι πλείους οἱ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς μετ᾿ αὐτῶν. 17 καὶ προσηύξατο ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἶπε· Κύριε, διάνοιξον δὴ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ ἰδέτω· καὶ διήνοιξε Κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε. καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄρος πλῆρες ἵππων, καὶ ἅρμα πυρὸς περικύκλῳ ῾Ελισαιέ. 18 καὶ κατέβησαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον καὶ εἶπε· πάταξον δὴ τὸ ἔθνος τοῦτο ἀορασίᾳ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀορασίᾳ κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα ῾Ελισαιέ. 19 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ῾Ελισαιέ· οὐχὶ αὕτη ἡ πόλις καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδός· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ἄξω ὑμᾶς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα, ὃν ζητεῖτε· καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς Σαμάρειαν. 20 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ἄνοιξον δή, Κύριε, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν· καὶ διήνοιξε Κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦσαν ἐν μέσῳ Σαμαρείας. 21 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ, ὡς εἶδεν αὐτούς· εἰ πατάξας πατάξω, πάτερ; 22 καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ πατάξεις, εἰ μὴ οὓς ᾐχμαλώτευσας ἐν ρομφαίᾳ σου καὶ τόξῳ σου σὺ τύπτεις· παράθες ἄρτους καὶ ὕδωρ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ φαγέτωσαν καὶ πιέτωσαν καὶ ἀπελθέτωσαν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν. 23 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς παράθεσιν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν. καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι μονόζωνοι Συρίας τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν ᾿Ισραήλ. 24 Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἤθροισεν υἱὸς ῎Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν. 25 καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ ἰδοὺ περιεκάθηντο ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, ἕως οὗ ἐγενήθη κεφαλὴ ὄνου πεντήκοντα σίκλων ἀργυρίου καὶ τέταρτον τοῦ κάβου κόπρου περιστερῶν πέντε σίκλων ἀργυρίου. 26 καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς διαπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ γυνὴ ἐβόησε πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα· σῶσον, κύριε βασιλεῦ. 27 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· μή σε σώσαι Κύριος, πόθεν σώσω σε; μὴ ἀπὸ ἅλωνος ἢ ἀπὸ ληνοῦ; 28 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς· τί ἔστι σοι; καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· αὕτη εἶπε πρός με· δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν σήμερον, καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν αὔριον· 29 καὶ ἡψήσαμεν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ ἐφάγομεν αὐτόν, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ· δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φάγωμεν αὐτόν. καὶ ἔκρυψε τὸν υἱόν αὐτῆς. 30 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τοὺς λόγους τῆς γυναικός, διέρρηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς διεπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὸν σάκκον ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσωθεν. 31 καὶ εἶπε· τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ στήσεται ἡ κεφαλὴ ῾Ελισαιὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ σήμερον. 32 καὶ ῾Ελισαιὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκάθηντο μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἄνδρα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους· εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ φονευτοῦ οὗτος ἀφελεῖν τὴν κεφαλήν μου; ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ἄγγελος, ἀποκλείσατε τὴν θύραν· καὶ παραθλίψατε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ· οὐχὶ φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ; 33 ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ αὕτη ἡ κακία παρὰ Κυρίου· τί ὑπομείνω τῷ Κυρίῳ ἔτι;

ΚΑΙ Ναιμὰν ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Συρίας ἦν ἀνὴρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ τεθαυμασμένος προσώπῳ, ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἔδωκε Κύριος σωτηρίαν Συρίᾳ· καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἦν δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ, λελεπρωμένος. 2 καὶ Συρία ἐξῆλθον μονόζωνοι καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν ἐκ γῆς ᾿Ισραὴλ νεάνιδα μικράν, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον τῆς γυναικὸς Ναιμάν. 3 ἡ δὲ εἶπε τῇ κυρίᾳ αὐτῆς· ὄφελον ὁ κύριός μου ἐνώπιον τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, τότε ἀποσυνάξει αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ. 4 καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν· οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἡ νεᾶνις ἡ ἐκ γῆς ᾿Ισραήλ. 5 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Συρίας πρὸς Ναιμάν· δεῦρο εἴσελθε, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ βιβλίον πρὸς βασιλέα ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δέκα τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ ἑξακισχιλίους χρυσοῦς καὶ δέκα ἀλλασσομένας στολάς. 6 καὶ ἤνεγκε τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· καὶ νῦν ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς σέ, ἰδοὺ ἀπέστειλα πρός σε Ναιμὰν τὸν δοῦλόν μου, καὶ ἀποσυνάξεις αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ. 7 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τὸ βιβλίον, διέρρηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ Θεὸς ἐγὼ τοῦ θανατῶσαι καὶ ζωοποιῆσαι, ὅτι οὖτος ἀποστέλλει πρός με ἀποσυνάξαι ἄνδρα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ; ὅτι πλὴν γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι προφασίζεται οὗτός μοι. 8 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ῾Ελισαιὲ ὅτι διέρρηξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· ἱνατὶ διέρρηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου; ἐλθέτω δὴ πρός με Ναιμὰν καὶ γνώτω ὅτι ἐστὶ προφήτης ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ. 9 καὶ ἦλθε Ναιμὰν ἐν ἵππῳ καὶ ἅρματι καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ θύρας οἴκου ῾Ελισαιέ. 10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ῾Ελισαιὲ ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· πορευθεὶς λοῦσαι ἑπτάκις ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιορδάνῃ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει ἡ σάρξ σού σοι, καὶ καθαρισθήσῃ. 11 καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ναιμὰν καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ εἶπον ὅτι πρός με πάντως ἐξελεύσεται καὶ στήσεται καὶ ἐπικαλέσεται ἐν ὀνόματι Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἀποσυνάξει τὸ λεπρόν· 12 οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς ᾿Αβανὰ καὶ Φαρφὰρ ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ὕδατα ᾿Ισραήλ; οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι; καὶ ἐξέκλινε καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν θυμῷ. 13 καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτόν· μέγα λόγον ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς σέ· οὐχὶ ποιήσεις; καὶ ὅτι εἶπε πρὸς σέ, λοῦσαι καὶ καθαρίσθητι. 14 καὶ κατέβη Ναιμὰν καὶ ἐβαπτίσατο ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιορδάνῃ ἑπτάκις κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα ῾Ελισαιέ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σάρξ αὐτοῦ ὡς σάρξ παιδαρίου μικροῦ, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη. 15 καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς ῾Ελισαιὲ αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνωκα ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ νῦν λαβὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν παρὰ τοῦ δούλου σου. 16 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος, ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, εἰ λήψομαι· καὶ παρεβιάσατο αὐτὸν λαβεῖν, καὶ ἠπείθησε. 17 καὶ εἶπε Ναιμάν· καὶ εἰ μή, δοθήτω δὴ τῷ δούλῳ σου γόμος ζεῦγος ἡμιόνων, ὅτι οὐ ποιήσει ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίασμα θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ Κυρίῳ μόνῳ· 18 καὶ ἱλάσεται Κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς οἶκον Ρεμμὰν προσκυνῆσαι ἐκεῖ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπαναπαύσεται ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός μου καὶ προσκυνήσω ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμὰν ἐν τῷ προσκυνεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμάν, καὶ ἱλάσεται δὴ Κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ. 19 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιὲ πρὸς Ναιμάν· δεῦρο εἰς εἰρήνην. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς δεβραθὰ τῆς γῆς. 20 καὶ εἶπε Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον ῾Ελισαιέ· ἰδοὺ ἐφείσατο ὁ κύριός μου τοῦ Ναιμὰν τοῦ Σύρου τούτου τοῦ μὴ λαβεῖν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνήνοχε· ζῇ Κύριος ὅτι εἰ μὴ δραμοῦμαι ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ λήψομαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τι. 21 καὶ ἐδίωξε Γιεζὶ ὀπίσω τοῦ Ναιμάν, καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν Ναιμὰν τρέχοντα ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· εἰρήνη· 22 ὁ κύριός μου ἀπέστειλέ με λέγων· ἰδοὺ νῦν ἦλθον πρός με δύο παιδάρια ἐξ ὄρους ᾿Εφραὶμ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν· δὸς δὴ αὐτοῖς τάλαντον ἀργυρίου καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολάς. 23 καὶ εἶπε· λαβὲ διτάλαντον ἀργυρίου· καὶ ἔλαβε δύο τάλαντα ἀργυρίου ἐν δυσὶ θυλάκοις καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ δύο παιδάρια αὐτοῦ. καὶ ᾖραν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ. 24 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ σκοτεινόν, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ παρέθετο ἐν οἴκῳ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τοὺς ἄνδρας. 25 καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθε καὶ παρεστήκει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ῾Ελισαιέ· πόθεν, Γιεζί; καὶ εἶπε Γιεζί· οὐ πεπόρευται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα. 26 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ῾Ελισαιέ· οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐπορεύθη μετὰ σοῦ, ὅτε ἐπέστεψεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς συναντήν σοι; καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ ἐλαιῶνας καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ βόας καὶ παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας· 27 καὶ ἡ λέπρα Ναιμὰν κολληθήσεται ἐν σοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λελεπρωμένος ὡσεὶ χιών.
