2 Kings 9:15-24
15and kingH4428 Joram had returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in Jizreel of the woundsH4347 that the Syrians had given him, whenH834 he foughtH3898 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria.) And JehuH3058 saidH559, If it be your will, let not a fugitiveH6412 escape out of the cityH5892 to goH3318 to tellH5046 [it] in Jizreel.
16And JehuH3058 rodeH7392 in a chariot and wentH3381 to Jizreel; for JoramH3141 layH7901 there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had comeH3381 down to seeH7200 JoramH3141.
17And the watchmanH6822 stoodH5975 on the towerH4026 in Jizreel, and sawH7200 Jehu's company as he cameH935, and saidH559, I seeH7200 a company. And Joram saidH559, TakeH3947 a horseman, and sendH7971 to meet them, and let him sayH559, Is it peaceH7965?
18So there wentH935 one on horseback to meet him; and he saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428: Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH7725 thee behind me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046 sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, and he does not returnH7725.
19And he sentH7971 out a secondH8145 on horseback; and he cameH935 to them and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428: Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behind me.
20And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046 sayingH559, He cameH935 to them, and does not returnH7725. And the driving is like the driving of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drives furiously.
21Then Joram saidH559, Make ready! And they made ready his chariotH7393. And Joram kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 out, each in his chariotH7393; and they wentH3318 out to meet JehuH3058, and met him in the plot of NabothH5022 the Jizreelite.
22And it came to pass when Joram sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he saidH559, What peaceH7965, so long as the fornications of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her sorceriesH3785 are so manyH7227?
23Then Joram turnedH2015 his handH3027, and fledH5127, and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, Treachery, AhaziahH274!
24And JehuH3058 took his bowH7198 in his handH3027, and smote JehoramH3088 between his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 out through his heartH3820; and he sank downH5221 in his chariotH7393.
