2 Kings 9:21-24

21“HarnessH631!” JoramH3088 shoutedH559, and they harnessedH631 his chariotH7393.

Then JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 set outH3318, eachH376 in his own chariotH7393, and metH3318H7122 JehuH3058H4672 on the propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.

22

When JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he askedH559, “Have you come in peaceH7965, JehuH3058?”

“HowH4100 can there beH5704 peaceH7965,” he repliedH559, “as long asH7227 the idolatryH21831 and witchcraftH3785 of your motherH517 Jezebel aboundH348?”

23JoramH3088H3027 turned aroundH20152 and fledH5127, calling outH559 toH413 AhaziahH274, “TreacheryH4820, AhaziahH274!”

24Then JehuH3058 drewH4390H3027 his bowH7198 and shotH5221 JoramH3088 betweenH996 the shouldersH2220. The arrowH2678 piercedH3318 his heartH3820, and he slumped downH3766 in his chariotH7393.
