2 Kings 9:15-24

15but 1KingH4428 2JoramH3088 had returnedH7725 to JezreelH3157 to have himself healedH7495 of the woundsH4347 whichH834 the ArameansH761 had 3inflictedH5221 on him when he foughtH3898 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758. So JehuH3058 saidH559 to the other men, “IfH518 this is your 4intentH5315, then let noH408 5oneH6412 escapeH6412H3318 from the cityH5892 to goH1980 tellH5046 about it in JezreelH3157.” 16Then JehuH3058 rodeH7392 inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 and wentH1980 to JezreelH3157, sinceH3588 JoramH3141 was lyingH7901 thereH8033 recovering. 6And AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had comeH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.

17Now the watchmanH6822 was standingH5975 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157 and he sawH7200 the 7companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and he saidH559, “I seeH7200 a 8companyH8229.” And 9JoramH3088 saidH559, “TakeH3947 a horsemanH7395 and sendH7971 him to meetH7122 them and have him 10askH559, ‘Is your intention peaceH7965?’” 18So a horsemanH7392H5483 wentH1980 to meetH7122 him and saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: ‘Is your intention peaceH7965?’” But JehuH3058 saidH559, “1112HowH4100 is peaceH7965 any business of yours? TurnH5437 and followH310 me.” And the watchmanH6822 13reportedH5046, “The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he did not returnH7725.” 19Then he sentH7971 a secondH8145 horsemanH7392H5483, and he cameH935 to them and saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: ‘Is your intention peaceH7965?’” And JehuH3058 14answeredH559, “15HowH4100 is peaceH7965 any business of yours? TurnH5437 and followH310 me.” 20And the watchmanH6822 16reportedH5046, “He cameH935 up to them, but he did not returnH7725; and 17the 18drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of 19JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, for he drivesH5090 furiouslyH7697.”

21Then 20JoramH3088 saidH559, “21GetH631 readyH631.” And they 22madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 23Then 24JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 JehuH3058 and foundH4672 him on the 2526propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22When 27JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is your intention peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 28answeredH559, “WhatH4100 ‘peaceH7965,’ 29soH5704 longH5704 as your motherH517 Jezebel’sH348 acts of prostitutionH2183 and witchcraftH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 30JoramH3088 31turnedH2015H3027 backH2015 and fledH5127, and he saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “32There is treacheryH4820, AhaziahH274!” 24Then 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.
