2 Kings 9:15-24
15but kingH4428 JoramH3088 was returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 whichH834 the Syrians had given him, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.) And JehuH3058 saidH559, IfH518 this be your mindH5315, then letH408 noneH408 escapeH3318 and goH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, to goH3318 to tellH5046 it in JezreelH3157.
16SoH3588 JehuH3058 rodeH7392 in a chariotH7392, and wentH3381 to JezreelH3157; for JoramH3141 layH7901 there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 was comeH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.
17NowH935 the watchmanH6822 stoodH5975 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157, and he spied the companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, I seeH7200 a companyH8229. And JoramH3088 saidH559, TakeH3947 an horsemanH7395, and sendH7971 to meetH7125 them, and letH7971 him sayH559, Is it peaceH7965?
18SoH3541 there wentH935 one on horsebackH5483 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou to doH4100 with peaceH7965? turnH7725 thee behindH310 meH413. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he cometh notH3808 againH7725.
19Then he sentH7971 outH7971 a secondH8145 on horsebackH5483, whichH4100 cameH935 to them, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559, WhatH4100 hast thou to doH4100 with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 meH413.
20And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 evenH5704 unto them, and cometh notH3808 againH7725: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he driveth furiouslyH7697.
21And JoramH3088 saidH559, Make readyH631. And they madeH631 readyH631 his chariotH7393. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 JehuH3058, and foundH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
22And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, WhatH4100 peaceH7965, soH1961 longH5704 as the whoredoms of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and herH7200 witchcraftsH3785 are soH1961 manyH7227?
23And JoramH3088 turnedH2015 his handsH3027, and fledH5127, and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274.
24And JehuH3058 drewH4390 his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH2220, and smoteH5221 JoramH3088 betweenH996 his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 outH3318 at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH5221 in his chariotH7393.
