Now the Spirit of ADONAI had left Sha'ul; instead, an evil spirit from ADONAI would suddenly come over him.

Sha'ul's servants said to him, "Do you notice that there's an evil spirit from God that suddenly comes over you?

Let our lord now command your servants who are here with you to look for a man who knows how to play the lyre. Then, if the evil spirit from God comes over you, he will play; and it will do you good."

When the child was old enough, he went out one day to be with his father, who was with the reapers.

Suddenly he cried out to his father, "My head! My head hurts!" He said to his servant, "Carry him back to his mother."

When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he lay on her lap until noon; and then he died.

Around this time, Hizkiyahu became ill to the point of death. Yesha'yahu the prophet, the son of Amotz, came and said to him, "Here is what ADONAI says: 'Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not live.'"

Hizkiyahu turned his face toward the wall and prayed to ADONAI:

"I plead with you, ADONAI, remember now how I have lived before you truly and wholeheartedly, and how I have done what you see as good." And he cried bitter tears.

A letter came to him from Eliyahu the prophet which said, "Here is what ADONAI, the God of David your ancestor, says: 'You have not lived by the examples of Y'hoshafat your father or Asa king of Y'hudah.

Instead you have lived by the example of the kings of Isra'el and have caused Y'hudah and the people living in Yerushalayim to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ach'av caused [Isra'el] to prostitute themselves. Moreover, you killed your brothers from your father's house, men better than you.

Because of all this, ADONAI is going to strike your people with a terrible disease, also your children, your wives and everything you have.

You will be very ill from a disease in your intestines, until your intestines protrude, because of the effects of this disease, day after day.'"

Then ADONAI aroused against Y'horam the spirit of the P'lishtim and of the Arabs near the Ethiopians;

and they came up to attack Y'hudah. They broke in and carried off all the personal property they could find in the royal palace, as well as his children and his wives; so that no son was left to him except Y'ho'achaz his youngest son.

After all this, ADONAI struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

In time, after two years, his intestines protruded because of his disease, and he suffered a most painful death. His people kindled no fire for him, as had been done for his ancestors.

Then the Adversary went out from the presence of ADONAI and struck Iyov down with horrible infected sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

He took a piece of a broken pot to scratch himself and sat down in the pile of ashes.

His wife asked him, "Why do you still hold on to your integrity? Curse God, and die!"

But he answered her, "You're talking like a low-class woman! Are we to receive the good at God's hands but reject the bad?" In all this Iyov did not say one sinful word.
