2 Kings 9:16-29

16Then JehuH3058 rodeH7392 in a chariotH7392 and wentH1980 to JezreelH3157, for JoramH3141 was lyingH7901 thereH8033. 1AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had comeH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.

17Now the watchmanH6822 was standingH5975 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157 and he sawH7200 the 2companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, “I seeH7200 a 3companyH8229.” 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, “4WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.” And the watchmanH6822 5reportedH5046, “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 6answeredH559, “WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.” 20The watchmanH6822 7reportedH5046, “He cameH935 evenH5704 to them, and he did not returnH7725; and 8the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of 9JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, for he drivesH5090 furiouslyH7697.”

21Then 10JoramH3088 saidH559, “11GetH631 readyH631.” And they madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 1213JoramH3088 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 1415propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22When 16JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 17answeredH559, “WhatH4100 peaceH7965, 18soH5704 longH5704 as the harlotriesH2183 of your motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 19JoramH3088 20reinedH2015H3027 aboutH2015H3027 and fledH5127 and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “21There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274!” 24And 22JehuH3058 23drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027 and 24shotH5221 25JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 26throughH3318 his heartH3820 and he sankH3766 in his chariotH7393. 25Then Jehu saidH559 to BidkarH920 his officerH7991, “TakeH5375 him up and 27castH7993 him into the 28propertyH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, for I rememberH2142 when 29you and I were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, that the 30LordH3068 laidH5375 thisH2088 31oracleH4853 againstH5921 him: 26‘SurelyH518H3808 32I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and 33I will repayH7999 you in thisH2088 34propertyH2513,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068. NowH6258 then, takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the 35propertyH2513, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.”

2736When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “37ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 38IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 2839Then his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him in a chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389 and buriedH6912 him in his graveH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.

29Now in 40the eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141 of JoramH3141, the sonH1121 of AhabH256, AhaziahH274 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063.
