2 Kings 9:21-26
21Then 1Joram said, “2Get ready.” And they 3made his chariot ready. 4Then 5Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him on the 67property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22When 8Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is your intention peace, Jehu?” And he 9answered, “What ‘peace,’ 10so long as your mother Jezebel’s acts of prostitution and witchcraft are so many?” 23So 11Joram 12turned back and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “13There is treachery, Ahaziah!” 24Then 14Jehu 15drew his bow with his full strength and 16shot 17Joram between his arms; and the arrow went 18through his heart, and he sank in his chariot. 25And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and 19throw him on the 20property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when 21you and I were riding together after his father Ahab, that the 22Lord brought this 23pronouncement against him: 26‘24I have certainly seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ declares the Lord, ‘and 25I will repay you on this 26property,’ declares the Lord. Now then, pick him up and throw him on the 27property, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”
