And Elisha <H0477> the prophet <H5030> called <H7121> one <H0259> of the children <H1121> of the prophets, <H5030> and said <H0559> unto him, Gird up <H2296> thy loins, <H4975> and take <H3947> this box <H6378> of oil <H8081> in thine hand, <H3027> and go <H3212> to Ramothgilead: <H7433> <H1568>
2
And when thou comest <H0935> thither, look out <H7200> there Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Jehoshaphat <H3092> the son <H1121> of Nimshi, <H5250> and go in, <H0935> and make him arise up <H6965> from among <H8432> his brethren, <H0251> and carry <H0935> him to an inner <H2315> chamber; <H2315>
3
Then take <H3947> the box <H6378> of oil, <H8081> and pour <H3332> [it] on his head, <H7218> and say, <H0559> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> I have anointed <H4886> thee king <H4428> over Israel. <H3478> Then open <H6605> the door, <H1817> and flee, <H5127> and tarry <H2442> not.
4
So the young man, <H5288> [even] the young man <H5288> the prophet, <H5030> went <H3212> to Ramothgilead. <H7433> <H1568>
5
And when he came, <H0935> behold, the captains <H8269> of the host <H2428> [were] sitting; <H3427> and he said, <H0559> I have an errand <H1697> to thee, O captain. <H8269> And Jehu <H3058> said, <H0559> Unto which of all us? And he said, <H0559> To thee, O captain. <H8269>
6
And he arose, <H6965> and went <H0935> into the house; <H1004> and he poured <H3332> the oil <H8081> on his head, <H7218> and said <H0559> unto him, Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> I have anointed <H4886> thee king <H4428> over the people <H5971> of the LORD, <H3068> [even] over Israel. <H3478>
7
And thou shalt smite <H5221> the house <H1004> of Ahab <H0256> thy master, <H0113> that I may avenge <H5358> the blood <H1818> of my servants <H5650> the prophets, <H5030> and the blood <H1818> of all the servants <H5650> of the LORD, <H3068> at the hand <H3027> of Jezebel. <H0348>
8
For the whole house <H1004> of Ahab <H0256> shall perish: <H0006> and I will cut off <H3772> from Ahab <H0256> him that pisseth <H8366> against the wall, <H7023> and him that is shut up <H6113> and left <H5800> in Israel: <H3478>
9
And I will make <H5414> the house <H1004> of Ahab <H0256> like the house <H1004> of Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> and like the house <H1004> of Baasha <H1201> the son <H1121> of Ahijah: <H0281>
10
And the dogs <H3611> shall eat <H0398> Jezebel <H0348> in the portion <H2506> of Jezreel, <H3157> and [there shall be] none to bury <H6912> [her]. And he opened <H6605> the door, <H1817> and fled. <H5127>
11
Then Jehu <H3058> came forth <H3318> to the servants <H5650> of his lord: <H0113> and [one] said <H0559> unto him, [Is] all well? <H7965> wherefore came <H0935> this mad <H7696> [fellow] to thee? And he said <H0559> unto them, Ye know <H3045> the man, <H0376> and his communication. <H7879>
12
And they said, <H0559> [It is] false; <H8267> tell <H5046> us now. And he said, <H0559> Thus and thus spake <H0559> he to me, saying, <H0559> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> I have anointed <H4886> thee king <H4428> over Israel. <H3478>
13
Then they hasted, <H4116> and took <H3947> every man <H0376> his garment, <H0899> and put <H7760> [it] under him on the top <H1634> of the stairs, <H4609> and blew <H8628> with trumpets, <H7782> saying, <H0559> Jehu <H3058> is king. <H4427>
14
So Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Jehoshaphat <H3092> the son <H1121> of Nimshi <H5250> conspired <H7194> against Joram. <H3141> (Now Joram <H3141> had kept <H8104> Ramothgilead, <H7433> <H1568> he and all Israel, <H3478> because <H6440> of Hazael <H2371> king <H4428> of Syria. <H0758>
15
But king <H4428> Joram <H3088> was returned <H7725> to be healed <H7495> in Jezreel <H3157> of the wounds <H4347> which the Syrians <H0761> had given <H5221> him, when he fought <H3898> with Hazael <H2371> king <H4428> of Syria.) <H0758> And Jehu <H3058> said, <H0559> If it be <H3426> your minds, <H5315> [then] let none <H0408> go forth <H3318> [nor] escape <H6412> out of the city <H5892> to go <H3212> to tell <H5046> [it] in Jezreel. <H3157>
16
So Jehu <H3058> rode <H7392> in a chariot, and went <H3212> to Jezreel; <H3157> for Joram <H3141> lay <H7901> there. And Ahaziah <H0274> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> was come down <H3381> to see <H7200> Joram. <H3141>
17
And there stood <H5975> a watchman <H6822> on the tower <H4026> in Jezreel, <H3157> and he spied <H7200> the company <H8229> of Jehu <H3058> as he came, <H0935> and said, <H0559> I see <H7200> a company. <H8229> And Joram <H3088> said, <H0559> Take <H3947> an horseman, <H7395> and send <H7971> to meet <H7125> them, and let him say, <H0559> [Is it] peace? <H7965>
18
So there went <H3212> one on horseback <H7392> <H5483> to meet <H7125> him, and said, <H0559> Thus saith <H0559> the king, <H4428> [Is it] peace? <H7965> And Jehu <H3058> said, <H0559> What hast thou to do with peace? <H7965> turn <H5437> thee behind <H0310> me. And the watchman <H6822> told, <H5046> saying, <H0559> The messenger <H4397> came <H0935> to them, but he cometh not again. <H7725>
19
Then he sent <H7971> out a second <H8145> on horseback, <H7392> <H5483> which came <H0935> to them, and said, <H0559> Thus saith <H0559> the king, <H4428> [Is it] peace? <H7965> And Jehu <H3058> answered, <H0559> What hast thou to do with peace? <H7965> turn <H5437> thee behind <H0310> me.
20
And the watchman <H6822> told, <H5046> saying, <H0559> He came <H0935> even unto them, and cometh not again: <H7725> and the driving <H4491> [is] like the driving <H4491> of Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Nimshi; <H5250> for he driveth <H5090> furiously. <H7697>
21
And Joram <H3088> said, <H0559> Make ready. <H0631> And his chariot <H7393> was made ready. <H0631> And Joram <H3088> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> and Ahaziah <H0274> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> went out, <H3318> each <H0376> in his chariot, <H7393> and they went out <H3318> against <H7125> Jehu, <H3058> and met <H4672> him in the portion <H2513> of Naboth <H5022> the Jezreelite. <H3158>
22
And it came to pass, when Joram <H3088> saw <H7200> Jehu, <H3058> that he said, <H0559> [Is it] peace, <H7965> Jehu? <H3058> And he answered, <H0559> What peace, <H7965> so long as <H5704> the whoredoms <H2183> of thy mother <H0517> Jezebel <H0348> and her witchcrafts <H3785> [are so] many? <H7227>
23
And Joram <H3088> turned <H2015> his hands, <H3027> and fled, <H5127> and said <H0559> to Ahaziah, <H0274> [There is] treachery, <H4820> O Ahaziah. <H0274>
24
And Jehu <H3058> drew a bow <H7198> with his full <H4390> <H3027> strength, and smote <H5221> Jehoram <H3088> between his arms, <H2220> and the arrow <H2678> went out <H3318> at his heart, <H3820> and he sunk down <H3766> in his chariot. <H7393>
25
Then said <H0559> [Jehu] to Bidkar <H0920> his captain, <H7991> Take up, <H5375> [and] cast <H7993> him in the portion <H2513> of the field <H7704> of Naboth <H5022> the Jezreelite: <H3158> for remember <H2142> how that, when I and thou rode <H7392> together <H6776> after <H0310> Ahab <H0256> his father, <H0001> the LORD <H3068> laid <H5375> this burden <H4853> upon him;
26
Surely I have seen <H7200> yesterday <H0570> the blood <H1818> of Naboth, <H5022> and the blood <H1818> of his sons, <H1121> saith <H5002> the LORD; <H3068> and I will requite <H7999> thee in this plat, <H2513> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068> Now therefore take <H5375> [and] cast <H7993> him into the plat <H2513> [of ground], according to the word <H1697> of the LORD. <H3068>
27
But when Ahaziah <H0274> the king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> saw <H7200> [this], he fled <H5127> by the way <H1870> of the garden <H1588> house. <H1004> And Jehu <H3058> followed <H7291> after <H0310> him, and said, <H0559> Smite <H5221> him also in the chariot. <H4818> [And they did so] at the going up <H4608> to Gur, <H1483> which [is] by Ibleam. <H2991> And he fled <H5127> to Megiddo, <H4023> and died <H4191> there.
28
And his servants <H5650> carried <H7392> him in a chariot to Jerusalem, <H3389> and buried <H6912> him in his sepulchre <H6900> with his fathers <H0001> in the city <H5892> of David. <H1732>
29
And in the <H8141> eleventh <H0259> <H6240> year <H8141> of Joram <H3141> the son <H1121> of Ahab <H0256> began Ahaziah <H0274> to reign <H4427> over Judah. <H3063>
30
And when Jehu <H3058> was come <H0935> to Jezreel, <H3157> Jezebel <H0348> heard <H8085> [of it]; and she painted <H7760> <H6320> her face, <H5869> and tired <H3190> her head, <H7218> and looked out <H8259> at a window. <H2474>
31
And as Jehu <H3058> entered in <H0935> at the gate, <H8179> she said, <H0559> [Had] Zimri <H2174> peace, <H7965> who slew <H2026> his master? <H0113>
32
And he lifted up <H5375> his face <H6440> to the window, <H2474> and said, <H0559> Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out <H8259> to him two <H8147> [or] three <H7969> eunuchs. <H5631>
33
And he said, <H0559> Throw her down. <H8058> So they threw her down: <H8058> and [some] of her blood <H1818> was sprinkled <H5137> on the wall, <H7023> and on the horses: <H5483> and he trode <H7429> her under foot.
34
And when he was come in, <H0935> he did eat <H0398> and drink, <H8354> and said, <H0559> Go, <H6485> see now this cursed <H0779> [woman], and bury <H6912> her: for she [is] a king's <H4428> daughter. <H1323>
35
And they went <H3212> to bury <H6912> her: but they found <H4672> no more of her than <H0518> the skull, <H1538> and the feet, <H7272> and the palms <H3709> of [her] hands. <H3027>
36
Wherefore they came again, <H7725> and told <H5046> him. And he said, <H0559> This [is] the word <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> which he spake <H1696> by <H3027> his servant <H5650> Elijah <H0452> the Tishbite, <H8664> saying, <H0559> In the portion <H2506> of Jezreel <H3157> shall dogs <H3611> eat <H0398> the flesh <H1320> of Jezebel: <H0348>
37
And the carcase <H5038> of Jezebel <H0348> shall be as dung <H1828> upon the face <H6440> of the field <H7704> in the portion <H2506> of Jezreel; <H3157> [so] that they shall not say, <H0559> This [is] Jezebel. <H0348>
