2 Kings 9:21-36
21Then 1JoramH3088 saidH559, “2GetH631 readyH631.” And they madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 34JoramH3088 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 56propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22When 7JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 8answeredH559, “WhatH4100 peaceH7965, 9soH5704 longH5704 as the harlotriesH2183 of your motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 10JoramH3088 11reinedH2015H3027 aboutH2015H3027 and fledH5127 and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “12There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274!” 24And 13JehuH3058 14drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027 and 15shotH5221 16JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 17throughH3318 his heartH3820 and he sankH3766 in his chariotH7393. 25Then Jehu saidH559 to BidkarH920 his officerH7991, “TakeH5375 him up and 18castH7993 him into the 19propertyH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, for I rememberH2142 when 20you and I were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, that the 21LordH3068 laidH5375 thisH2088 22oracleH4853 againstH5921 him: 26‘SurelyH518H3808 23I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and 24I will repayH7999 you in thisH2088 25propertyH2513,’ saysH5002 the LordH3068. NowH6258 then, takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the 26propertyH2513, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.”
2727When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “28ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 29IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 2830Then 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 31the eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141 of JoramH3141, the sonH1121 of AhabH256, AhaziahH274 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063.
30When JehuH3058 cameH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it, and 32she paintedH7760H6320 her eyesH5869 and adornedH3190 her headH7218 and lookedH8259 out the windowH2474. 31As JehuH3058 enteredH935 the gateH8179, she saidH559, “33Is it 34wellH7965, ZimriH2174, 35your master’sH113 murdererH2026?” 32Then he liftedH5375 up his faceH6440 to the windowH2474 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 is on my sideH854? WhoH4310?” And twoH8147 or threeH7969 officialsH5631 lookedH8259 downH8259 at him. 33He saidH559, “ThrowH8058 her downH8058.” So they threwH8058 her downH8058, and someH4480 of her bloodH1818 was sprinkledH5137 on the wallH7023 and on the horsesH5483, and he trampledH7429 her under foot. 34When he cameH935 in, he ateH398 and drankH8354; and he saidH559, “SeeH6485 nowH4994 to 36thisH2088 cursedH779 womanH779 and buryH6912 her, for 37she is a king’sH4428 daughterH1323.” 35They wentH1980 to buryH6912 her, but they foundH4672 nothingH3808 moreH3588H518 of her thanH3588H518 the skullH1538 and the feetH7272 and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027. 36Therefore they returnedH7725 and toldH5046 him. And he saidH559, “ThisH1931 is the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, whichH834 He spokeH1696 by His servantH5650 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, ‘38In the 39propertyH2506 of JezreelH3157 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348;
