  CHAPTER 3

  [1] Καὶ Ιωραμ υἱὸς Αχααβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ισραηλ ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν δώδεκα ἔτη. [2] καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὡς ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετέστησεν τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βααλ, ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· [3] πλὴν ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ, ἐκολλήθη, οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπ’ αὐτῆς. [4] Καὶ Μωσα βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἦν νωκηδ καὶ ἐπέστρεφεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐπαναστάσει ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας ἀρνῶν καὶ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας κριῶν ἐπὶ πόκων. [5] καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Αχααβ καὶ ἠθέτησεν βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἐν βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ. [6] καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωραμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν Ισραηλ· [7] καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα λέγων Βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἠθέτησεν ἐν ἐμοί· εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς Μωαβ εἰς πόλεμον; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀναβήσομαι· ὅμοιός μοι ὅμοιός σοι, ὡς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου, ὡς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ ἵπποι σου. [8] καὶ εἶπεν Ποίᾳ ὁδῷ ἀναβῶ; καὶ εἶπεν Ὁδὸν ἔρημον Εδωμ. [9] καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Εδωμ καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ὁδὸν ἑπτὰ ἡμερῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ παρεμβολῇ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν. [10] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ Ὦ ὅτι κέκληκεν κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς παρερχομένους δοῦναι αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Μωαβ. [11] καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ Οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπιζητήσωμεν τὸν κύριον παρ’ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων βασιλέως Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ὧδε Ελισαιε υἱὸς Σαφατ, ὃς ἐπέχεεν ὕδωρ ἐπὶ χεῖρας Ηλιου. [12] καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ Ἔστιν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα κυρίου. καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα καὶ βασιλεὺς Εδωμ. [13] καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί; δεῦρο πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ πατρός σου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ Μή, ὅτι κέκληκεν κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Μωαβ. [14] καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε Ζῇ κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων, ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον Ιωσαφατ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐγὼ λαμβάνω, εἰ ἐπέβλεψα πρὸς σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε· [15] καὶ νυνὶ δὲ λαβέ μοι ψάλλοντα. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔψαλλεν ὁ ψάλλων, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν χεὶρ κυρίου, [16] καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ποιήσατε τὸν χειμάρρουν τοῦτον βοθύνους βοθύνους· [17] ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος Οὐκ ὄψεσθε πνεῦμα καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε ὑετόν, καὶ ὁ χειμάρρους οὗτος πλησθήσεται ὕδατος, καὶ πίεσθε ὑμεῖς καὶ αἱ κτήσεις ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν· [18] καὶ κούφη αὕτη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου, καὶ παραδώσω τὴν Μωαβ ἐν χειρὶ ὑμῶν, [19] καὶ πατάξετε πᾶσαν πόλιν ὀχυρὰν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν καταβαλεῖτε καὶ πάσας πηγὰς ὕδατος ἐμφράξετε καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἀχρειώσετε ἐν λίθοις. [20] καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πρωῒ ἀναβαινούσης τῆς θυσίας καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδατα ἤρχοντο ἐξ ὁδοῦ Εδωμ, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ὕδατος. [21] καὶ πᾶσα Μωαβ ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς πολεμεῖν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀνεβόησαν ἐκ παντὸς περιεζωσμένου ζώνην καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁρίου. [22] καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωί, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα· καὶ εἶδεν Μωαβ ἐξ ἐναντίας τὰ ὕδατα πυρρὰ ὡσεὶ αἷμα [23] καὶ εἶπαν Αἷμα τοῦτο τῆς ῥομφαίας, ἐμαχέσαντο οἱ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἀνὴρ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τὰ σκῦλα, Μωαβ. [24] καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ισραηλ, καὶ Ισραηλ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωαβ, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν. καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰσπορευόμενοι καὶ τύπτοντες τὴν Μωαβ [25] καὶ τὰς πόλεις καθεῖλον καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἔρριψαν ἀνὴρ τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐνέπλησαν αὐτὴν καὶ πᾶσαν πηγὴν ὕδατος ἐνέφραξαν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν κατέβαλον ἕως τοῦ καταλιπεῖν τοὺς λίθους τοῦ τοίχου καθῃρημένους, καὶ ἐκύκλευσαν οἱ σφενδονῆται καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτήν. [26] καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔλαβεν μεθ’ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐσπασμένους ῥομφαίαν διακόψαι πρὸς βασιλέα Εδωμ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν. [27] καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρωτότοκον, ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους· καὶ ἐγένετο μετάμελος μέγας ἐπὶ Ισραηλ, καὶ ἀπῆραν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν.

  CHAPTER 4

  [1] Καὶ γυνὴ μία ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν ἐβόα πρὸς Ελισαιε λέγουσα Ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἀπέθανεν, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως ὅτι δοῦλος ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον· καὶ ὁ δανιστὴς ἦλθεν λαβεῖν τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἑαυτῷ εἰς δούλους. [2] καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε Τί ποιήσω σοι; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί ἐστίν σοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν τῇ δούλῃ σου οὐθὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ὃ ἀλείψομαι ἔλαιον. [3] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν Δεῦρο αἴτησον σαυτῇ σκεύη ἔξωθεν παρὰ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων σου, σκεύη κενά, μὴ ὀλιγώσῃς, [4] καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκλείσεις τὴν θύραν κατὰ σοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν σου καὶ ἀποχεεῖς εἰς τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα καὶ τὸ πληρωθὲν ἀρεῖς. [5] καὶ ἀπῆλθεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως
καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατ’ αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς· αὐτοὶ προσήγγιζον πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐπέχεεν, [6] ἕως ἐπλήσθησαν τὰ σκεύη. καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῆς Ἐγγίσατε ἔτι πρός με σκεῦος· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ Οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σκεῦος· καὶ ἔστη τὸ ἔλαιον. [7] καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε Δεῦρο καὶ ἀπόδου τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ ἀποτείσεις τοὺς τόκους σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου ζήσεσθε ἐν τῷ ἐπιλοίπῳ ἐλαίῳ. [8] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ διέβη Ελισαιε εἰς Σουμαν, καὶ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ μεγάλη καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὸν φαγεῖν ἄρτον. καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφ’ ἱκανοῦ τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέκλινεν τοῦ ἐκεῖ φαγεῖν. [9] καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιος οὗτος διαπορεύεται ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς διὰ παντός· [10] ποιήσωμεν δὴ αὐτῷ ὑπερῷον τόπον μικρὸν καὶ θῶμεν αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ κλίνην καὶ τράπεζαν καὶ δίφρον καὶ λυχνίαν, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἐκεῖ. [11] καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ. [12] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Κάλεσόν μοι τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. [13] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς αὐτήν Ἰδοὺ ἐξέστησας ἡμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν ἔκστασιν ταύτην· τί δεῖ ποιῆσαί σοι; εἰ ἔστιν λόγος σοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἢ πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐγώ εἰμι οἰκῶ. [14] καὶ εἶπεν Τί δεῖ ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ; καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Καὶ μάλα υἱὸς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῇ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς πρεσβύτης. [15] καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη παρὰ τὴν θύραν. [16] καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς αὐτήν Εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ὡς ἡ ὥρα ζῶσα σὺ περιειληφυῖα υἱόν· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Μή, κύριέ μου, μὴ διαψεύσῃ τὴν δούλην σου. [17] καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ὡς ἡ ὥρα ζῶσα, ὡς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Ελισαιε. – [18] καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξῆλθεν τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς θερίζοντας, [19] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Τὴν κεφαλήν μου, τὴν κεφαλήν μου· καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ Ἆρον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ. [20] καὶ ἦρεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς ἕως μεσημβρίας καὶ ἀπέθανεν. [21] καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν κατ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν. [22] καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Ἀπόστειλον δή μοι ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ μίαν τῶν ὄνων, καὶ δραμοῦμαι ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπιστρέψω. [23] καὶ εἶπεν Τί ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν σήμερον; οὐ νεομηνία οὐδὲ σάββατον. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη. [24] καὶ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτῆς Ἄγε πορεύου, μὴ ἐπίσχῃς μοι τοῦ ἐπιβῆναι, ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπω σοι· [25] δεῦρο καὶ πορεύσῃ καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ελισαιε ἐρχομένην αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ Σωμανῖτις ἐκείνη· [26] νῦν δράμε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρεῖς Εἰ εἰρήνη σοι; εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ ἀνδρί σου; εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη. [27] καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Ελισαιε εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἤγγισεν Γιεζι ἀπώσασθαι αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε Ἄφες αὐτήν, ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς κατώδυνος αὐτῇ, καὶ κύριος ἀπέκρυψεν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλέν μοι. [28] ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Μὴ ᾐτησάμην υἱὸν παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου; οὐκ εἶπα Οὐ πλανήσεις μετ’ ἐμοῦ; [29] καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε τῷ Γιεζι Ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ λαβὲ τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ δεῦρο· ὅτι ἐὰν εὕρῃς ἄνδρα, οὐκ εὐλογήσεις αὐτόν, καὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃ σε ἀνήρ, οὐκ ἀποκριθήσῃ αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου. [30] καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου Ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς. [31] καὶ Γιεζι διῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὴν βακτηρίαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀκρόασις· καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ λέγων Οὐκ ἠγέρθη τὸ παιδάριον. [32] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ παιδάριον τεθνηκὸς κεκοιμισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην αὐτοῦ. [33] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατὰ τῶν δύο ἑαυτῶν καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς κύριον· [34] καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ διέκαμψεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ διεθερμάνθη ἡ σὰρξ τοῦ παιδαρίου. [35] καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ συνέκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἕως ἑπτάκις, καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ παιδάριον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ. [36] καὶ ἐξεβόησεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Γιεζι καὶ εἶπεν Κάλεσον τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπε
ν Ελισαιε Λαβὲ τὸν υἱόν σου. [37] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν. [38] Καὶ Ελισαιε ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Γαλγαλα, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν καὶ ἕψε ἕψεμα τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν προφητῶν. [39] καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἷς εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν συλλέξαι αριωθ καὶ εὗρεν ἄμπελον ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ συνέλεξεν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς τολύπην ἀγρίαν πλῆρες τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τοῦ ἑψέματος, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν. [40] καὶ ἐνέχει τοῖς ἀνδράσιν φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐσθίειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ ἑψήματος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεβόησαν καὶ εἶπον Θάνατος ἐν τῷ λέβητι, ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο φαγεῖν. [41] καὶ εἶπεν Λάβετε ἄλευρον καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον Ἔγχει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔτι ἐκεῖ ῥῆμα πονηρὸν ἐν τῷ λέβητι. – [42] καὶ ἀνὴρ διῆλθεν ἐκ Βαιθσαρισα καὶ ἤνεγκεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ πρωτογενημάτων εἴκοσι ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ παλάθας, καὶ εἶπεν Δότε τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν. [43] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ Τί δῶ τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἑκατὸν ἀνδρῶν; καὶ εἶπεν Δὸς τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν, ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος Φάγονται καὶ καταλείψουσιν. [44] καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ κατέλιπον κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου.
