열왕기하 8
Korean Living Bible
자기 땅을 되찾은 수넴 여자
8 엘리사는 전에 아들을 살려 준 그 수넴 여자에게 이렇게 말하였다. “당신은 가 족과 함께 이 곳을 떠나 다른 나라에 가서 살도록 하시오. 여호와께서는 7년 동안 계속될 기근을 이스라엘 땅에 내리시겠다고 선언하셨소.”
2 그래서 그 여자는 가족을 데리고 블레셋 사람의 땅으로 가서 7년 동안 살았다.
3 기근이 끝난 후에 그 여자는 이스라엘로 돌아와 자기 집과 땅을 되찾기 위해 왕에게 호소하러 갔다.
4 바로 그때 왕은 엘리사의 사환 게하시와 이야기를 하고 있었는데 왕은 엘리사가 행한 기적에 관해서 알고 싶어하였다.
5 그래서 게하시는 엘리사가 죽은 아이를 살렸던 일을 왕에게 말해 주었다. 바로 이때 그 아이의 어머니가 들어와서 자기 집과 땅을 되찾게 해 달라고 왕에게 호소하였다. 그러자 게하시는 “왕이시여, 이 사람이 바로 그 여자입니다. 그리고 이 아이는 엘리사가 그때 살려 낸 바로 이 여자의 아들입니다” 하고 외쳤다.
6 그래서 왕은 그 여자에게 물어 보고 그것이 사실임을 확인한 다음 관리 한 사람을 불러 그 여자의 모든 소유를 돌려 주고 그녀가 떠나고 없었던 7년 동안에 그녀의 토지에서 생산된 모든 농산물을 계산해 주라고 지시하였다.
벤 – 하닷을 살해한 하사엘
7 한번은 엘리사가 다마스커스에 갔는데 그때 시리아 왕 벤 – 하닷이 병들어 있었다. 왕은 엘리사가 그 곳에 와 있다는 말을 듣고
8 그의 신하 하사엘에게 말하였다. “너는 선물을 가지고 그 예언자에게 가서 내 병이 나을 것인지 여호와께 좀 물어 봐 달라고 부탁하여라.”
9 그래서 하사엘은 나귀 40마리에 다마스커스의 가장 좋은 특산물을 잔뜩 싣고 엘리사에게 가서 이렇게 말하였다. “당신의 [a]종 벤 – 하닷왕이 나를 당신에게 보내며 그의 병이 낫겠는지 물어 오라고 했습니다.”
10 그래서 엘리사는 그에게 “당신은 왕에게 가서 그 병이 나을 것이라고 말하시오. 그러나 여호와께서는 그가 죽게 될 것을 나에게 보여 주셨소” 하고 대답하였다.
11 그러고서 그는 하사엘이 당황할 정도로 그의 얼굴을 뚫어지게 바라보다가 울기 시작하였다.
12 그러자 하사엘이 물었다. “선생님, 무슨 일로 우십니까?” “나는 당신이 이스라엘 백성에게 행할 끔찍한 일을 알고 있소. 당신은 그들의 요새에 불을 지르고 젊은이들을 칼로 죽이며 어린 아이들을 메어쳐서 죽이고 임신한 여자들의 배를 가를 것이오.”
13 “개처럼 보잘것없는 내가 어떻게 그런 큰 일을 할 수 있겠습니까?” “여호와께서는 당신이 시리아 왕이 될 것을 나에게 보여 주셨소.”
14 하사엘이 벤 – 하닷에게 돌아가자 왕이 그에게 “엘리사가 너에게 뭐라고 말하더냐?” 하고 물었다. 그래서 그는 “왕이 나을 것이라고 말해 주었습니다” 하고 대답하였다.
15 그러나 하사엘은 그 다음날 이불을 물에 적셔 가지고 가서 왕의 얼굴에 덮어 그를 질식시켜 죽이고 자기가 대신 왕이 되었다.
유다의 5대 왕 여호람
16 아합의 아들인 이스라엘의 요람왕 5년에 여호사밧의 아들 여호람이 유다 왕이 되었다.
17 그는 32세에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 8년을 통치하였다.
18 그는 아합의 딸과 결혼하였으므로 이스라엘 왕들을 본받아 아합의 집안 사람들처럼 악을 행하고 여호와께 범죄하였다.
19 그러나 여호와께서 유다를 멸망시키려고 하지 않았던 것은 다윗에게 [b]그 후손들이 계속 나라를 다스리게 해 주겠다고 약속하셨기 때문이었다.
20 여호람이 나라를 다스릴 당시 에돔이 유다에 반기를 들고 자기들의 왕을 세웠다.
21 그래서 여호람이 모든 전차를 이끌고 사일로 갔으나 그들은 즉시 에돔군에게 포위를 당하고 말았다. 그가 야음을 틈타 포위망을 뚫고 도망하자 그의 부하들은 사방 흩어져 모두 자기 집으로 돌아가 버렸다.
22 이때부터 에돔은 유다의 속박에서 벗어나 독립하였고 이와 때를 같이하여 립나도 반란을 일으켰다.
23 그 밖에 여호람이 행한 모든 일은 유다 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.
24 여호람은 죽어 다윗성에 있는 조상들의 묘에 장사되었고 그의 아들 아하시야가 왕위를 계승하였다.
유다의 6대 왕 아하시야
25 아합의 아들인 이스라엘의 요람왕 12년에 여호람의 아들 아하시야가 유다 왕이 되었다.
26 그는 22세에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 년을 통치하였다. 그리고 그의 어머니는 이스라엘 왕 오므리의 손녀 아달랴였다.
27 아하시야는 아합의 집안 사람과 결혼하여 그들처럼 여호와께 범죄하였다.
28 그는 이스라엘의 요람왕과 합세하여 길르앗의 라못에서 시리아의 하사엘왕과 격전을 벌였는데 그 전투에서 요람왕이 부상을 입어
29 치료하려고 이스르엘로 가자 아하시야왕은 그 곳으로 가서 그를 문병하였다.
2 Kings 8
New International Reader's Version
The Woman From Shunem Gets Her Land Back
8 Elisha had brought a woman’s son back to life. He had said to her, “Go away with your family. Stay for a while anywhere you can. The Lord has decided that there won’t be enough food in the land. That will be true for seven years.” 2 The woman did just as the man of God told her to. She and her family went away. They stayed in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 The seven years passed. Then she came back from the land of the Philistines. She went to the king of Israel. She wanted to ask him to get her house and land back. 4 The king was talking to Gehazi. Gehazi was the servant of the man of God. The king had said, “Tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.” 5 Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought a dead boy back to life. Just then the woman came to ask the king to get her house and land back. She was the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life.
Gehazi said, “King Joram, this is the woman I’ve been telling you about. And this is her son. He’s the one Elisha brought back to life.” 6 The king asked the woman about her house and land. And she told him.
Then he appointed an official to look into her case. The king told him, “Give her back everything that belonged to her. That includes all the money that was earned from her land. It was earned from the day she left the country until now.”
Hazael Murders Ben-Hadad
7 Elisha went to Damascus. Ben-Hadad was sick. He was king of Aram. The king was told, “The man of God has come all the way up here.” 8 Then the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift with you. Go and see the man of God. Ask him for the Lord’s advice. Ask him whether I will get well again.”
9 Hazael went to see Elisha. Hazael took 40 camels with him as a gift. The camels were loaded with all the finest goods of Damascus. Hazael went into Elisha’s house and stood in front of him. Hazael said, “Ben-Hadad has sent me. He is the king of Aram. He asks, ‘Will I get well again?’ ”
10 Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘Yes. You will get well again.’ But the Lord has shown me that he will in fact die.” 11 Elisha stared at him without looking away. He did it until Hazael felt uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.
12 “Why are you weeping?” asked Hazael.
“Because I know how much harm you will do to the people of Israel,” Elisha answered. “You will set fire to their cities that have high walls around them. You will kill their young men with your swords. You will smash their little children on the ground. You will rip open their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael said, “How could I possibly do a thing like that? I’m nothing but a dog. I don’t have that kind of power.”
“You will become king of Aram,” Elisha answered. “That’s what the Lord has shown me.”
14 Then Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. Ben-Hadad asked, “What did Elisha say to you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would get well again.” 15 But the next day Hazael got a thick cloth. He soaked it in water. He spread it over the king’s face. He held it there until the king died. Then Hazael became the next king after him.
Jehoram King of Judah
16 Jehoram began to rule as king over Judah. It was in the fifth year that Joram was king of Israel. Joram was the son of Ahab. Jehoram was the son of Jehoshaphat. 17 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. 18 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the royal family of Ahab had done. In fact, he married a daughter of Ahab. Jehoram did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 19 But the Lord didn’t want to destroy Judah. That’s because the Lord had made a covenant with his servant David. The Lord had promised to keep the lamp of David’s kingdom burning brightly. The Lord had promised that for him and his children after him forever.
20 When Jehoram was king over Judah, Edom refused to remain under Judah’s control. Edom set up their own king. 21 So Jehoram went to Zair. He took all his chariots with him. The men of Edom surrounded him and his chariot commanders. He got up at night and fought his way out. But his army ran back home. 22 To this day Edom has refused to remain under Judah’s control. When Jehoram was Judah’s king, Libnah also refused to remain under the control of Judah.
23 The other events of Jehoram’s rule are written down. Everything he did is written in the official records of the kings of Judah. 24 Jehoram joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the family tomb in the City of David. Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the next king after him.
Ahaziah King of Judah
25 Ahaziah began to rule as king over Judah. It was in the 12th year that Joram was king of Israel. Joram was the son of Ahab. Ahaziah was the son of Jehoram. 26 Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah. She was a granddaughter of Omri. Omri had been the king of Israel. 27 Ahaziah followed the ways of the royal family of Ahab. Ahaziah did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the family of Ahab had done. That’s because he had married into Ahab’s family.
28 Ahaziah joined forces with Joram. They went to war against Hazael at Ramoth Gilead. Joram was the son of Ahab. Hazael was king of Aram. The soldiers of Aram wounded King Joram. 29 So he returned to Jezreel to give his wounds time to heal. The soldiers of Aram had wounded him at Ramoth in his battle against Hazael, the king of Aram.
Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, went down to Jezreel. He went there to see Joram. That’s because Joram had been wounded. Ahaziah was king of Judah. Joram was the son of Ahab.
