Genesis – Chapter 4

16. And Cain went forth from before the Lord, and he dwelt in the land of the wanderers, to the east of Eden. 17. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch, and he was building a city, and he called the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18. And Irad was born to Enoch, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehijael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lemech. 19. And Lemech took himself two wives; one was named Adah, and the other was named Zillah. 20. Now Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle. 21. And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who grasp a lyre and a flute. 22. And Zillah she too bore Tubal-cain, who sharpened all tools that cut copper and iron, and Tubal-cain’s sister was Na’amah.

 בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל

 

Kings 1, Ch 12, v 18: And king Rehoboam sent Adoram who was in charge of the tax, and all of Israel pelted him with stones, and he died, and king Rehoboam exerted himself to get up into his chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

2 Chron. Ch 10, v 18: And King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was appointed over the tax, and the Children of Israel pelted him with stones and he died, and King Rehoboam exerted himself to get up into his chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

 

1 Kings 17:17-24, Elijah raised a widow’s son.

9 “Arise, go to Zarephath which belongs to Zidon and sojourn there. Behold I have commanded a widow there to feed you.”

17 And it was after these happenings, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; and his illness was very serious until no soul was left within him.

18 And she said to Elijah, “What is there between me and you, man of God, that you have come to me to cause my sins to be remembered and to kill my son?”

19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And she took him from her bosom, and she brought him up to the upstairs chamber where he was living, and he lay him on his bed.

20 And he called to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, also on the widow with whom I am sojourning have You brought evil, to kill her son?”

21 And he prostrated himself on the boy three times, and he called to the Lord and said, “O Lord, my God, restore please the soul of this child within him.”

22 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Elijah and the child’s soul returned within him, and he lived.

23 And Elijah took the child and he brought him down from the upstairs chamber to the house, and he gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.”

24 And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a Man of God and the word of the Lord that is in your mouth, is true.”

 

2 Kings 4:18-37, Elisha raised the Shunammite woman’s son. 

8 And it was that day that Elisha went as far as Shunem, and there was a prominent woman who prevailed upon him to eat a meal; and it was, whenever he would pass, he would stop there to eat a meal.

17 And the woman conceived and bore a son, at this time a year later, which Elisha had spoken to her.

18 And the child grew up; and it was one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.

19 And he said to his father, “My head! My head!” And he said to the servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20 And he carried him and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees until noon, and he died.

21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and she closed about him and left.

22 And she called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the she-asses; and I will run up to the man of God and return.”

23 And he said, “Why are you going to him today; it is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It’s all right.”

24 And she saddled the she-ass, and she said to her servant, “Drive and go forward. Don’t keep back from riding because of me unless I tell you.”

25 And she went and came to the man of God, to Mt. Carmel; and it was when the man of God saw her from afar, that he said to Gehazi his servant, “Here is that Shunemmitess.

26 Now please run toward her, and say to her, ‘Are you well? Is your husband well? Is the child well?’ ” And she said, “We are well.”

27 And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and she took hold of his feet; and Gehazi approached to push her away. Now the man of God said, “Let her be, for her soul is bitter to her, and the Lord hid it from me and did not tell me.”

28 And she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not mislead me?’ “

29 And he said to Gehazi, “Gird your loins and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him: and you shall place my staff on the lad’s face.”

30 And the lad’s mother said, “As the Lord lives and by your life, I will not leave you.” And he rose and went after her.

31 And Gehazi went ahead of them, and he placed the staff on the lad’s face, and there was no sound nor any attention; and he returned toward him and told him saying, “The lad has not awakened.”

32 And Elisha came into the house, and behold the lad was dead, laid out on his bed.

33 And he came and closed the door about both of them; and he prayed to the Lord.

34 And he went up and lay on the child, and placed his mouth on his mouth and his eyes on his eyes and his palms on his palms, and he prostrated himself upon him: and the child’s flesh became warm.

35 And he returned and walked in the house once here and once there, and he went up and prostrated himself upon him: and the lad sneezed up to seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

36 And he summoned Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunemmitess.” And he called her, and she came to him, and he said, “Pick up your son.”

37 And she came and fell at his feet and bowed to the ground; and she picked up her son and departed.
