2 Kings 9:14-37
14So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 had keptH8104 RamothgileadH7433H1568, he and all IsraelH3478, becauseH6440 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. 15But kingH4428 JoramH3088 had returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221 him, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.) And JehuH3058 saidH559, If it isH3426 your mindsH5315, then let noneH408 go forthH3318 nor escapeH6412 from the cityH5892 to goH3212 to tellH5046 it in JezreelH3157.123
16So JehuH3058 rode in a chariotH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157; for JoramH3141 layH7901 there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had come downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141. 17And there stoodH5975 a watchmanH6822 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157, and he spiedH7200 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 let him sayH559, Is it peaceH7965? 18So there wentH3212 one on horsebackH7392H5483 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he doth not returnH7725. 19Then he sent outH7971 a secondH8145 on horsebackH7392H5483, who cameH935 to them, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me. 20And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 even to them, and doth not returnH7725: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drivethH5090 furiouslyH7697.45 21And JoramH3088 saidH559, Make readyH631. And his chariotH7393 was made readyH631. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they went outH3318 againstH7125 JehuH3058, and metH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.67 22And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the harlotriesH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227? 23And JoramH3088 turnedH2015 his handsH3027, and fledH5127, and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274. 24And JehuH3058 drew a bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027, and smoteH5221 JehoramH3088 between his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 went outH3318 at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH3766 in his chariotH7393.89 25Then saidH559 Jehu to BidkarH920 his captainH7991, Take upH5375, and castH7993 him into the portionH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158: for rememberH2142 how that, when I and thou rodeH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, the LORDH3068 laidH5375 this burdenH4853 upon him; 26Surely I sawH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will repayH7999 thee in this plotH2513, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Now therefore takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the plotH2513 of ground, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.1011 27But when AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 followedH7291H310 him, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 him also in the chariotH4818. And they did so at the ascent ofH4608 GurH1483, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 there. 28And his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him in a chariot to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his sepulchreH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 29And in the eleventhH259H6240H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began AhaziahH274 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.
30And when JehuH3058 had comeH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it ; and she paintedH7760H6320 her faceH5869, and adornedH3190 her headH7218, and looked outH8259 at a windowH2474.12 31And as JehuH3058 enteredH935 the gateH8179, she saidH559, Had ZimriH2174 peaceH7965, who slewH2026 his masterH113? 32And he lifted upH5375 his faceH6440 to the windowH2474, and saidH559, Who is on my side? who? And there looked outH8259 to him twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631.13 33And he saidH559, Throw her downH8058. So they threw her downH8058: and some of her bloodH1818 was sprinkledH5137 on the wallH7023, and on the horsesH5483: and he trod her under footH7429. 34And when he had come inH935, he ateH398 and drankH8354, and saidH559, GoH6485, see now this cursedH779 woman, and buryH6912 her: for she is a king’sH4428 daughterH1323. 35And they wentH3212 to buryH6912 her: but they foundH4672 no more of her thanH518 the skullH1538, and the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027. 36Therefore they came againH7725, and toldH5046 him. And he saidH559, This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spokeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, In the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157 shall dogsH3611 eatH398 the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348:14 37And the dead bodyH5038 of JezebelH348 shall be as refuseH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157; so that they shall not sayH559, This is JezebelH348.
