2 Kings 9:14-37

So Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the son
<01121>
of Nimshi
<05250>
conspired
<07194> (8691)
against Joram
<03141>_.
(Now Joram
<03141>
had kept
<08104> (8802)
Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_,
he and all Israel
<03478>_,
because
<06440>
of Hazael
<02371>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_.
But king
<04428>
Joram
<03088>
was returned
<07725> (8799)
to be healed
<07495> (8692)
in Jezreel
<03157>
of the wounds
<04347>
which the Syrians
<0761>
had given
<05221> (8686)
him, when he fought
<03898> (8736)
with Hazael
<02371>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>.)
And Jehu
<03058>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
If it be
<03426>
your minds
<05315>_,
[then] let none
<0408>
go forth
<03318> (8799)
[nor] escape
<06412>
out of the city
<05892>
to go
<03212> (8800)
to tell
<05046> (8687)
[it] in Jezreel
<03157>_.
{Joram: Heb. Jehoram but not in verse sixteen} {had given: Heb. smote} {let none...: Heb. let no escaper go, etc}
So Jehu
<03058>
rode in a chariot
<07392> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Jezreel
<03157>_;
for Joram
<03141>
lay
<07901> (8802)
there. And Ahaziah
<0274>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
was come down
<03381> (8804)
to see
<07200> (8800)
Joram
<03141>_.
And there stood
<05975> (8802)
a watchman
<06822> (8802)
on the tower
<04026>
in Jezreel
<03157>_,
and he spied
<07200> (8799)
the company
<08229>
of Jehu
<03058>
as he came
<0935> (8800)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I see
<07200> (8802)
a company
<08229>_.
And Joram
<03088>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
an horseman
<07395>_,
and send
<07971> (8798)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them, and let him say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is it] peace
<07965>_?
So there went
<03212> (8799)
one on horseback
<07392> (8802) <05483>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
[Is it] peace
<07965>_?
And Jehu
<03058>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What hast thou to do with peace
<07965>_?
turn
<05437> (8798)
thee behind
<0310>
me. And the watchman
<06822> (8802)
told
<05046> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The messenger
<04397>
came
<0935> (8804)
to them, but he cometh not again
<07725> (8804)_.
Then he sent out
<07971> (8799)
a second
<08145>
on horseback
<07392> (8802) <05483>_,
which came
<0935> (8799)
to them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
[Is it] peace
<07965>_?
And Jehu
<03058>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
What hast thou to do with peace
<07965>_?
turn
<05437> (8798)
thee behind
<0310>
me.
And the watchman
<06822> (8802)
told
<05046> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
He came
<0935> (8804)
even unto them, and cometh not again
<07725> (8804)_:
and the driving
<04491>
[is] like the driving
<04491>
of Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Nimshi
<05250>_;
for he driveth
<05090> (8799)
furiously
<07697>_.
{driving: or, marching} {furiously: Heb. in madness}
And Joram
<03088>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Make ready
<0631> (8798)_.
And his chariot
<07393>
was made ready
<0631> (8799)_.
And Joram
<03088>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Ahaziah
<0274>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
each
<0376>
in his chariot
<07393>_,
and they went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
Jehu
<03058>_,
and met
<04672> (8799)
him in the portion
<02513>
of Naboth
<05022>
the Jezreelite
<03158>_.
{Make ready: Heb. Bind} {met: Heb. found}
And it came to pass, when Joram
<03088>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Jehu
<03058>_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is it] peace
<07965>_,
Jehu
<03058>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
What peace
<07965>_,
so long as
<05704>
the whoredoms
<02183>
of thy mother
<0517>
Jezebel
<0348>
and her witchcrafts
<03785>
[are so] many
<07227>_?
And Joram
<03088>
turned
<02015> (8799)
his hands
<03027>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Ahaziah
<0274>_,
[There is] treachery
<04820>_,
O Ahaziah
<0274>_.
And Jehu
<03058>
drew a bow
<07198>
with his full
<04390> (8765)
strength
<03027>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Jehoram
<03088>
between his arms
<02220>_,
and the arrow
<02678>
went out
<03318> (8799)
at his heart
<03820>_,
and he sunk down
<03766> (8799)
in his chariot
<07393>_.
{drew...: Heb. filled his hand with a bow} {sunk: Heb. bowed}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
[Jehu] to Bidkar
<0920>
his captain
<07991>_,
Take up
<05375> (8798)_,
[and] cast
<07993> (8685)
him in the portion
<02513>
of the field
<07704>
of Naboth
<05022>
the Jezreelite
<03158>_:
for remember
<02142> (8798)
how that, when I and thou rode
<07392> (8802)
together
<06776>
after
<0310>
Ahab
<0256>
his father
<01>_,
the LORD
<03068>
laid
<05375> (8804)
this burden
<04853>
upon him;
Surely I have seen
<07200> (8804)
yesterday
<0570>
the blood
<01818>
of Naboth
<05022>_,
and the blood
<01818>
of his sons
<01121>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will requite
<07999> (8765)
thee in this plat
<02513>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)
[and] cast
<07993> (8685)
him into the plat
<02513>
[of ground], according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{blood: Heb. bloods} {plat: or, portion}
But when Ahaziah
<0274>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8804)
[this], he fled
<05127> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of the garden
<01588>
house
<01004>_.
And Jehu
<03058>
followed
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
him also in the chariot
<04818>_.
[And they did so] at the going up
<04608>
to Gur
<01483>_,
which [is] by Ibleam
<02991>_.
And he fled
<05127> (8799)
to Megiddo
<04023>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
there.
And his servants
<05650>
carried
<07392> (8686)
him in a chariot to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him in his sepulchre
<06900>
with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And in the eleventh
<0259> <06240> <08141>
year
<08141>
of Joram
<03141>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
began Ahaziah
<0274>
to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Judah
<03063>_.
And when Jehu
<03058>
was come
<0935> (8799)
to Jezreel
<03157>_,
Jezebel
<0348>
heard
<08085> (8804)
[of it]; and she painted
<07760> (8799) <06320>
her face
<05869>_,
and tired
<03190> (8686)
her head
<07218>_,
and looked out
<08259> (8686)
at a window
<02474>_.
{painted...: Heb. put her eyes in painting}
And as Jehu
<03058>
entered in
<0935> (8804)
at the gate
<08179>_,
she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Had] Zimri
<02174>
peace
<07965>_,
who slew
<02026> (8802)
his master
<0113>_?
And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his face
<06440>
to the window
<02474>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out
<08259> (8686)
to him two
<08147>
[or] three
<07969>
eunuchs
<05631>_.
{eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Throw her down
<08058> (8798)_.
So they threw her down
<08058> (8799)_:
and [some] of her blood
<01818>
was sprinkled
<05137> (8799)
on the wall
<07023>_,
and on the horses
<05483>_:
and he trode her under foot
<07429> (8799)_.
And when he was come in
<0935> (8799)_,
he did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<06485> (8798)_,
see now this cursed
<0779> (8803)
[woman], and bury
<06912> (8798)
her: for she [is] a king's
<04428>
daughter
<01323>_.
And they went
<03212> (8799)
to bury
<06912> (8800)
her: but they found
<04672> (8804)
no more of her than
<0518>
the skull
<01538>_,
and the feet
<07272>_,
and the palms
<03709>
of [her] hands
<03027>_.
Wherefore they came again
<07725> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
his servant
<05650>
Elijah
<0452>
the Tishbite
<08664>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In the portion
<02506>
of Jezreel
<03157>
shall dogs
<03611>
eat
<0398> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>
of Jezebel
<0348>_:
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the carcase
<05038>
of Jezebel
<0348>
shall be as dung
<01828>
upon the face
<06440>
of the field
<07704>
in the portion
<02506>
of Jezreel
<03157>_;
[so] that they shall not say
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] Jezebel
<0348>_.
