22When 1JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, he saidH559, “Is your intention peaceH7965, JehuH3058?” And he 2answeredH559, “WhatH4100 ‘peaceH7965,’ 3soH5704 longH5704 as your motherH517 Jezebel’sH348 acts of prostitutionH2183 and witchcraftH3785 are so manyH7227?” 23So 4JoramH3088 5turnedH2015H3027 backH2015 and fledH5127, and he saidH559 to AhaziahH274, “6There is treacheryH4820, AhaziahH274!” 24Then 7JehuH3058 8drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027 and 9shotH5221 10JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 11throughH3318 his heartH3820, and he sankH3766 in his chariotH7393. 25And Jehu saidH559 to BidkarH920 his officerH7991, “PickH5375 him upH5375 and 12throwH7993 him on the 13propertyH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158; for rememberH2142, when 14you and I were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 his fatherH1 AhabH256, that the 15LordH3068 broughtH5375 thisH2088 16pronouncementH4853 againstH5921 him: 26‘17I have certainlyH518H3808 seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and 18I will repayH7999 you on thisH2088 19propertyH2513,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068. NowH6258 then, pickH5375 him upH5375 and throwH7993 him on the 20propertyH2513, in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.”

2721When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. But JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “22ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 23IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 2824Then his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his graveH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
