2 Kings 9:16-29

16Then JehuH3058 rodeH7392 inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 and wentH1980 to JezreelH3157, sinceH3588 JoramH3141 was lyingH7901 thereH8033 recovering. 1And 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 2companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and he saidH559, “I seeH7200 a 3companyH8229.” And 4JoramH3088 saidH559, “TakeH3947 a horsemanH7395 and sendH7971 him to meetH7122 them and have him 5askH559, ‘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, “67HowH4100 is peaceH7965 any business of yours? TurnH5437 and followH310 me.” And the watchmanH6822 8reportedH5046, “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 9answeredH559, “10HowH4100 is peaceH7965 any business of yours? TurnH5437 and followH310 me.” 20And the watchmanH6822 11reportedH5046, “He cameH935 up to them, but he did not returnH7725; and 12the 13drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of 14JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, for he drivesH5090 furiouslyH7697.”

21Then 15JoramH3088 saidH559, “16GetH631 readyH631.” And they 17madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 18Then 19JoramH3088 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 2021propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22When 22JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is your intention peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 23answeredH559, “WhatH4100 ‘peaceH7965,’ 24soH5704 longH5704 as your motherH517 Jezebel’sH348 acts of prostitutionH2183 and witchcraftH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 25JoramH3088 26turnedH2015H3027 backH2015 and fledH5127, and he saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “27There is treacheryH4820, AhaziahH274!” 24Then 28JehuH3058 29drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027 and 30shotH5221 31JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 32throughH3318 his heartH3820, and he sankH3766 in his chariotH7393. 25And Jehu saidH559 to BidkarH920 his officerH7991, “PickH5375 him upH5375 and 33throwH7993 him on the 34propertyH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158; for rememberH2142, when 35you and I were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 his fatherH1 AhabH256, that the 36LordH3068 broughtH5375 thisH2088 37pronouncementH4853 againstH5921 him: 26‘38I have certainlyH518H3808 seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and 39I will repayH7999 you on thisH2088 40propertyH2513,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068. NowH6258 then, pickH5375 him upH5375 and throwH7993 him on the 41propertyH2513, in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.”

2742When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. But JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “43ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 44IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 2845Then his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his graveH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.

29Now in 46the eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141 of JoramH3141, the sonH1121 of AhabH256, AhaziahH274 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063.
