[1]And ElishaH477 the prophetH5030 calledH7121[H8804] oneH259 of the childrenH1121 of the prophetsH5030, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Gird upH2296[H8798] thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947[H8798] this boxH6378 of oilH8081 in thine handH3027, and goH3212[H8798] to RamothgileadH7433:[H1568]
[2]And when thou comestH935[H8804] thither, look outH7200[H8798] there JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and go inH935[H8804], and make him arise upH6965[H8689] from amongH8432 his brethrenH251, and carryH935[H8689] him to an innerH2315 chamberH2315;
[3]Then takeH3947[H8804] the boxH6378 of oilH8081, and pourH3332[H8804] it on his headH7218, and sayH559[H8804], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886[H8804] thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. Then openH6605[H8804] the doorH1817, and fleeH5127[H8804], and tarryH2442 notH8762.
[4]So the young manH5288, even the young manH5288 the prophetH5030, wentH3212[H8799] to RamothgileadH7433.[H1568]
[5]And when he cameH935[H8799], behold, the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 were sittingH3427[H8802]; and he saidH559[H8799], I have an errandH1697 to thee, O captainH8269. And JehuH3058 saidH559[H8799], Unto which of all us? And he saidH559[H8799], To thee, O captainH8269.
[6]And he aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH935[H8799] into the houseH1004; and he pouredH3332[H8799] the oilH8081 on his headH7218, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I have anointedH4886[H8804] thee kingH4428 over the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, even over IsraelH3478.
[7]And thou shalt smiteH5221[H8689] the houseH1004 of AhabH256 thy masterH113, that I may avengeH5358[H8765] the bloodH1818 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of all the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, at the handH3027 of JezebelH348.
[8]For the whole houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6[H8804]: and I will cut offH3772[H8689] from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366[H8688] against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113[H8803] and leftH5800[H8803] in IsraelH3478:
[9]And I will makeH5414[H8804] the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281:
[10]And the dogsH3611 shall eatH398[H8799] JezebelH348 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, and there shall be none to buryH6912[H8802] her. And he openedH6605[H8799] the doorH1817, and fledH5127.[H8799]
[11]Then JehuH3058 came forthH3318[H8804] to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and one saidH559[H8799] unto him, Is all wellH7965? wherefore cameH935[H8804] this madH7696[H8794] fellow to thee? And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, Ye knowH3045[H8804] the manH376, and his communicationH7879.
[12]And they saidH559[H8799], It is falseH8267; tellH5046[H8685] us now. And he saidH559[H8799], Thus and thus spakeH559[H8804] he to me, sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886[H8804] thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
[13]Then they hastedH4116[H8762], and tookH3947[H8799] every manH376 his garmentH899, and putH7760[H8799] it under him on the topH1634 of the stairsH4609, and blewH8628[H8799] with trumpetsH7782, sayingH559[H8799], JehuH3058 is kingH4427.[H8804]
[14]So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194[H8691] against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 had keptH8104[H8802] RamothgileadH7433[H1568], he and all IsraelH3478, becauseH6440 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.
[15]But kingH4428 JoramH3088 was returnedH7725[H8799] to be healedH7495[H8692] in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221[H8686] him, when he foughtH3898[H8736] with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.) And JehuH3058 saidH559[H8799], If it beH3426 your mindsH5315, then let noneH408 go forthH3318[H8799] nor escapeH6412 out of the cityH5892 to goH3212[H8800] to tellH5046[H8687] it in JezreelH3157.
[16]So JehuH3058 rode in a chariotH7392[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] to JezreelH3157; for JoramH3141 layH7901[H8802] there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 was come downH3381[H8804] to seeH7200[H8800] JoramH3141.
[17]And there stoodH5975[H8802] a watchmanH6822[H8802] on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157, and he spiedH7200[H8799] the companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935[H8800], and saidH559[H8799], I seeH7200[H8802] a companyH8229. And JoramH3088 saidH559[H8799], TakeH3947[H8798] an horsemanH7395, and sendH7971[H8798] to meetH7125[H8800] them, and let him sayH559[H8799], Is it peaceH7965?
[18]So there wentH3212[H8799] one on horsebackH7392[H8802][H5483] to meetH7125[H8800] him, and saidH559[H8799], Thus saithH559[H8804] the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559[H8799], What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437[H8798] thee behindH310 me. And the watchmanH6822[H8802] toldH5046[H8686], sayingH559[H8800], The messengerH4397 cameH935[H8804] to them, but he cometh not againH7725.[H8804]
[19]Then he sent outH7971[H8799] a secondH8145 on horsebackH7392[H8802][H5483], which cameH935[H8799] to them, and saidH559[H8799], Thus saithH559[H8804] the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559[H8799], What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437[H8798] thee behind meH310.
[20]And the watchmanH6822[H8802] toldH5046[H8686], sayingH559[H8800], He cameH935[H8804] even unto them, and cometh not againH7725[H8804]: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drivethH5090[H8799] furiouslyH7697.
[21]And JoramH3088 saidH559[H8799], Make readyH631[H8798]. And his chariotH7393 was made readyH631[H8799]. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318[H8799], eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they went outH3318[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] JehuH3058, and metH4672[H8799] him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
[22]And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200[H8800] JehuH3058, that he saidH559[H8799], Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559[H8799], What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the whoredomsH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?
[23]And JoramH3088 turnedH2015[H8799] his handsH3027, and fledH5127[H8799], and saidH559[H8799] to AhaziahH274, There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274.
[24]And JehuH3058 drew a bowH7198 with his fullH4390[H8765] strengthH3027, and smoteH5221[H8686] JehoramH3088 between his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 went outH3318[H8799] at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH3766[H8799] in his chariotH7393.
[25]Then saidH559[H8799] Jehu to BidkarH920 his captainH7991, Take upH5375[H8798], and castH7993[H8685] him in the portionH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158: for rememberH2142[H8798] how that, when I and thou rodeH7392[H8802] togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, the LORDH3068 laidH5375[H8804] this burden upon himH4853;
[26]Surely I have seenH7200[H8804] yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and I will requiteH7999[H8765] thee in this platH2513, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. Now therefore takeH5375[H8798] and castH7993[H8685] him into the platH2513 of ground, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
[27]But when AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200[H8804] this, he fledH5127[H8799] by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 followedH7291[H8799] afterH310 him, and saidH559[H8799], SmiteH5221[H8685] him also in the chariotH4818. And they did so at the going upH4608 to GurH1483, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127[H8799] to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 thereH8799.
[28]And his servantsH5650 carriedH7392[H8686] him in a chariot to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912[H8799] him in his sepulchreH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
[29]And in the eleventhH259[H6240][H8141] yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began AhaziahH274 to reignH4427[H8804] over JudahH3063.
[30]And when JehuH3058 was comeH935[H8799] to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085[H8804] of it; and she paintedH7760[H8799][H6320] her faceH5869, and tiredH3190[H8686] her headH7218, and looked outH8259[H8686] at a windowH2474.
[31]And as JehuH3058 entered inH935[H8804] at the gateH8179, she saidH559[H8799], Had ZimriH2174 peaceH7965, who slewH2026[H8802] his masterH113?
[32]And he lifted upH5375[H8799] his faceH6440 to the windowH2474, and saidH559[H8799], Who is on my side? who? And there looked outH8259[H8686] to him twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631.
[33]And he saidH559[H8799], Throw her downH8058[H8798]. So they threw her downH8058[H8799]: and some of her bloodH1818 was sprinkledH5137[H8799] on the wallH7023, and on the horsesH5483: and he trode her under footH7429.[H8799]
[34]And when he was come inH935[H8799], he did eatH398[H8799] and drinkH8354[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], GoH6485[H8798], see now this cursedH779[H8803] woman, and buryH6912[H8798] her: for she is a king'sH4428 daughterH1323.
[35]And they wentH3212[H8799] to buryH6912[H8800] her: but they foundH4672[H8804] no more of her thanH518 the skullH1538, and the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027.
[36]Wherefore they came againH7725[H8799], and toldH5046[H8686] him. And he saidH559[H8799], This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696[H8765] byH3027 his servantH5650 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559[H8800], In the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157 shall dogsH3611 eatH398[H8799] the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348:
[37]And the carcaseH5038 of JezebelH348 shall be as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157; so that they shall not sayH559[H8799], This is JezebelH348.
