(15) And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you shall go in and anoint Hazael as king over Syria;
(16) and you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, of Abel-meholah, as prophet in your place.
(17) And it shall be, he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
(18) And I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.

15 Jehovah now said to him: "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and you must come in and anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 And Jehu the grandson of Nimshi you should anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah you should anoint as prophet in place of you. 17 And it must occur that the one escaping from Hazael's sword, Jehu will put to death; and the one escaping from Jehu's sword, Elisha will put to death. 18 And I have let seven thousand remain in Israel, all the knees that have not bent down to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."

(17) And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
(18) Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
