2 Kings 9:11-28

11Now JehuH3058 cameH3318 out to the servantsH5650 of his masterH113, and one saidH559 to him, “1Is all wellH7965? WhyH4069 did thisH2088 2madH7696 fellowH7696 comeH935 to you?” And he saidH559 to them, “You knowH3045 very well the manH376 and his talkH7879.” 12They saidH559, “It is a lieH8267, tellH5046 us nowH4994.” And he saidH559, “ThusH2088 and thusH2088 he saidH559 to me, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 IsraelH3478.”’” 13Then 3they hurriedH4116 and eachH376 manH376 tookH3947 his garmentH899 and placedH7760 it underH8478 him on the bareH1634 stepsH4609, and 4blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, sayingH559, “JehuH3058 is kingH4427!”

14So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 againstH413 JoramH3141. 5Now JoramH3141 6with allH3605 IsraelH3478 was 7defendingH8104 Ramoth-gileadH7433 againstH4480H6440 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758, 15but 8KingH4428 9JoramH3088 had returnedH7725 to JezreelH3157 to be healedH7495 of the woundsH4347 whichH834 the ArameansH761 had 10inflictedH5221 on him when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758. So JehuH3058 saidH559, “IfH518 this is your mindH5315, then let noH408 oneH6412 escapeH6412 or 11leaveH3318H4480 the cityH5892 to goH1980 tellH5046 it in JezreelH3157.” 16Then JehuH3058 rodeH7392 in a chariotH7392 and wentH1980 to JezreelH3157, for JoramH3141 was lyingH7901 thereH8033. 12AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had comeH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.

17Now the watchmanH6822 was standingH5975 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157 and he sawH7200 the 13companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, “I seeH7200 a 14companyH8229.” And JoramH3088 saidH559, “TakeH3947 a horsemanH7395 and sendH7971 him to meetH7122 them and let him sayH559, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’” 18So a horsemanH7392H5483 wentH1980 to meetH7122 him and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the kingH4428, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’” And JehuH3058 saidH559, “15WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.” And the watchmanH6822 16reportedH5046, “The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he did not returnH7725.” 19Then he sentH7971 out a secondH8145 horsemanH7392H5483, who cameH935 to them and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the kingH4428, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’” And JehuH3058 17answeredH559, “WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.” 20The watchmanH6822 18reportedH5046, “He cameH935 evenH5704 to them, and he did not returnH7725; and 19the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of 20JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, for he drivesH5090 furiouslyH7697.”

21Then 21JoramH3088 saidH559, “22GetH631 readyH631.” And they madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 2324JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 out, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they wentH3318 out to meetH7122 JehuH3058 and foundH4672 him in the 2526propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22When 27JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 28answeredH559, “WhatH4100 peaceH7965, 29soH5704 longH5704 as the harlotriesH2183 of your motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 30JoramH3088 31reinedH2015H3027 aboutH2015H3027 and fledH5127 and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “32There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274!” 24And 33JehuH3058 34drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027 and 35shotH5221 36JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 37throughH3318 his heartH3820 and he sankH3766 in his chariotH7393. 25Then Jehu saidH559 to BidkarH920 his officerH7991, “TakeH5375 him up and 38castH7993 him into the 39propertyH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, for I rememberH2142 when 40you and I were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, that the 41LordH3068 laidH5375 thisH2088 42oracleH4853 againstH5921 him: 26‘SurelyH518H3808 43I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and 44I will repayH7999 you in thisH2088 45propertyH2513,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068. NowH6258 then, takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the 46propertyH2513, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.”

2747When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “48ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 49IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 2850Then his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him in a chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389 and buriedH6912 him in his graveH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
