2 Kings 9:22-28
22When 1Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he 2answered, “What peace, 3so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” 23So 4Joram 5reined about and fled and said to Ahaziah, “6There is treachery, O Ahaziah!” 24And 7Jehu 8drew his bow with his full strength and 9shot 10Joram between his arms; and the arrow went 11through his heart and he sank in his chariot. 25Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Take him up and 12cast him into the 13property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when 14you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that the 15Lord laid this 16oracle against him: 26‘Surely 17I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the Lord, ‘and 18I will repay you in this 19property,’ says the Lord. Now then, take and cast him into the 20property, according to the word of the Lord.”
2721When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, “22Shoot him too, in the chariot.” So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at 23Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there. 2824Then his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of David.
