2 Kings 9:22-28
22When 1Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is your intention peace, Jehu?” And he 2answered, “What ‘peace,’ 3so long as your mother Jezebel’s acts of prostitution and witchcraft are so many?” 23So 4Joram 5turned back and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “6There is treachery, Ahaziah!” 24Then 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. 25And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and 12throw him on the 13property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when 14you and I were riding together after his father Ahab, that the 15Lord brought this 16pronouncement against him: 26‘17I have certainly seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ declares the Lord, ‘and 18I will repay you on this 19property,’ declares the Lord. Now then, pick him up and throw him on the 20property, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”
2721When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by way of the garden house. But 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.
