1 # And Elisha <0477> the prophet <05030> called <07121> (8804) one <0259> of the children <01121> of the prophets <05030>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Gird up <02296> (8798) thy loins <04975>, and take <03947> (8798) this box <06378> of oil <08081> in thine hand <03027>, and go <03212> (8798) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>:
2 And when thou comest <0935> (8804) thither, look out <07200> (8798) there Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092> the son <01121> of Nimshi <05250>, and go in <0935> (8804), and make him arise up <06965> (8689) from among <08432> his brethren <0251>, and carry <0935> (8689) him to an inner <02315> chamber <02315>;
3 Then take <03947> (8804) the box <06378> of oil <08081>, and pour <03332> (8804) it on his head <07218>, and say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, I have anointed <04886> (8804) thee king <04428> over Israel <03478>. Then open <06605> (8804) the door <01817>, and flee <05127> (8804) , and tarry <02442> (8762) not.
4 So the young man <05288>, even the young man <05288> the prophet <05030>, went <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.
5 And when he came <0935> (8799), behold, the captains <08269> of the host <02428> were sitting <03427> (8802); and he said <0559> (8799), I have an errand <01697> to thee, O captain <08269>. And Jehu <03058> said <0559> (8799), Unto which of all us? And he said <0559> (8799), To thee, O captain <08269>.
6 And he arose <06965> (8799), and went <0935> (8799) into the house <01004>; and he poured <03332> (8799) the oil <08081> on his head <07218>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, I have anointed <04886> (8804) thee king <04428> over the people <05971> of the LORD <03068>, even over Israel <03478>.
7 And thou shalt smite <05221> (8689) the house <01004> of Ahab <0256> thy master <0113>, that I may avenge <05358> (8765) the blood <01818> of my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, and the blood <01818> of all the servants <05650> of the LORD <03068>, at the hand <03027> of Jezebel <0348>.
8 For the whole house <01004> of Ahab <0256> shall perish <06> (8804): and I will cut off <03772> (8689) from Ahab <0256> him that pisseth <08366> (8688) against the wall <07023>, and him that is shut up <06113> (8803) and left <05800> (8803) in Israel <03478>:
9 And I will make <05414> (8804) the house <01004> of Ahab <0256> like the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>, and like the house <01004> of Baasha <01201> the son <01121> of Ahijah <0281>:
10 And the dogs <03611> shall eat <0398> (8799) Jezebel <0348> in the portion <02506> of Jezreel <03157> , and there shall be none to bury <06912> (8802) her. And he opened <06605> (8799) the door <01817>, and fled <05127> (8799).
11 # Then Jehu <03058> came forth <03318> (8804) to the servants <05650> of his lord <0113>: and one said <0559> (8799) unto him, Is all well <07965>? wherefore came <0935> (8804) this mad <07696> (8794) fellow to thee? And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye know <03045> (8804) the man <0376>, and his communication <07879>.
12 And they said <0559> (8799), It is false <08267>; tell <05046> (8685) us now. And he said <0559> (8799), Thus and thus spake <0559> (8804) he to me, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, I have anointed <04886> (8804) thee king <04428> over Israel <03478>.
13 Then they hasted <04116> (8762), and took <03947> (8799) every man <0376> his garment <0899>, and put <07760> (8799) it under him on the top <01634> of the stairs <04609>, and blew <08628> (8799) with trumpets <07782>, saying <0559> (8799), Jehu <03058> is king <04427> (8804).
14 So Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092> the son <01121> of Nimshi <05250> conspired <07194> (8691) against Joram <03141>. (Now Joram <03141> had kept <08104> (8802) Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>, he and all Israel <03478>, because <06440> of Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>.
15 But king <04428> Joram <03088> was returned <07725> (8799) to be healed <07495> (8692) in Jezreel <03157> of the wounds <04347> which the Syrians <0761> had given <05221> (8686) him, when he fought <03898> (8736) with Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>.) And Jehu <03058> said <0559> (8799), If it be <03426> your minds <05315>, then let none <0408> go forth <03318> (8799) nor escape <06412> out of the city <05892> to go <03212> (8800) to tell <05046> (8687) it in Jezreel <03157>.
16 # So Jehu <03058> rode in a chariot <07392> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) to Jezreel <03157>; for Joram <03141> lay <07901> (8802) there. And Ahaziah <0274> king <04428> of Judah <03063> was come down <03381> (8804) to see <07200> (8800) Joram <03141>.
17 And there stood <05975> (8802) a watchman <06822> (8802) on the tower <04026> in Jezreel <03157> , and he spied <07200> (8799) the company <08229> of Jehu <03058> as he came <0935> (8800), and said <0559> (8799), I see <07200> (8802) a company <08229>. And Joram <03088> said <0559> (8799), Take <03947> (8798) an horseman <07395>, and send <07971> (8798) to meet <07125> (8800) them, and let him say <0559> (8799), Is it peace <07965>?
18 So there went <03212> (8799) one on horseback <07392> (8802) <05483> to meet <07125> (8800) him, and said <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the king <04428>, Is it peace <07965>? And Jehu <03058> said <0559> (8799), What hast thou to do with peace <07965>? turn <05437> (8798) thee behind <0310> me. And the watchman <06822> (8802) told <05046> (8686), saying <0559> (8800), The messenger <04397> came <0935> (8804) to them, but he cometh not again <07725> (8804).
19 Then he sent out <07971> (8799) a second <08145> on horseback <07392> (8802) <05483>, which came <0935> (8799) to them, and said <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the king <04428>, Is it peace <07965>? And Jehu <03058> answered <0559> (8799), What hast thou to do with peace <07965>? turn <05437> (8798) thee behind <0310> me.
20 And the watchman <06822> (8802) told <05046> (8686), saying <0559> (8800), He came <0935> (8804) even unto them, and cometh not again <07725> (8804): and the driving <04491> is like the driving <04491> of Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Nimshi <05250>; for he driveth <05090> (8799) furiously <07697>.
21 And Joram <03088> said <0559> (8799), Make ready <0631> (8798). And his chariot <07393> was made ready <0631> (8799). And Joram <03088> king <04428> of Israel <03478> and Ahaziah <0274> king <04428> of Judah <03063> went out <03318> (8799), each <0376> in his chariot <07393>, and they went out <03318> (8799) against <07125> (8800) Jehu <03058>, and met <04672> (8799) him in the portion <02513> of Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158> .
22 And it came to pass, when Joram <03088> saw <07200> (8800) Jehu <03058>, that he said <0559> (8799) , Is it peace <07965>, Jehu <03058>? And he answered <0559> (8799), What peace <07965>, so long as <05704> the whoredoms <02183> of thy mother <0517> Jezebel <0348> and her witchcrafts <03785> are so many <07227>?
23 And Joram <03088> turned <02015> (8799) his hands <03027>, and fled <05127> (8799), and said <0559> (8799) to Ahaziah <0274>, There is treachery <04820>, O Ahaziah <0274>.
24 And Jehu <03058> drew a bow <07198> with his full <04390> (8765) strength <03027>, and smote <05221> (8686) Jehoram <03088> between his arms <02220>, and the arrow <02678> went out <03318> (8799) at his heart <03820> , and he sunk down <03766> (8799) in his chariot <07393>.
25 Then said <0559> (8799) Jehu to Bidkar <0920> his captain <07991>, Take up <05375> (8798) , and cast <07993> (8685) him in the portion <02513> of the field <07704> of Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158>: for remember <02142> (8798) how that, when I and thou rode <07392> (8802) together <06776> after <0310> Ahab <0256> his father <01>, the LORD <03068> laid <05375> (8804) this burden <04853> upon him;
26 Surely I have seen <07200> (8804) yesterday <0570> the blood <01818> of Naboth <05022>, and the blood <01818> of his sons <01121>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and I will requite <07999> (8765) thee in this plat <02513>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. Now therefore take <05375> (8798) and cast <07993> (8685) him into the plat <02513> of ground, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
27 But when Ahaziah <0274> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> saw <07200> (8804) this, he fled <05127> (8799) by the way <01870> of the garden <01588> house <01004>. And Jehu <03058> followed <07291> (8799) after <0310> him, and said <0559> (8799), Smite <05221> (8685) him also in the chariot <04818>. And they did so at the going up <04608> to Gur <01483>, which is by Ibleam <02991>. And he fled <05127> (8799) to Megiddo <04023>, and died <04191> (8799) there.
28 And his servants <05650> carried <07392> (8686) him in a chariot to Jerusalem <03389>, and buried <06912> (8799) him in his sepulchre <06900> with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>.
29 And in the eleventh <0259> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Joram <03141> the son <01121> of Ahab <0256> began Ahaziah <0274> to reign <04427> (8804) over Judah <03063>.
30 # And when Jehu <03058> was come <0935> (8799) to Jezreel <03157>, Jezebel <0348> heard <08085> (8804) of it; and she painted <07760> (8799) <06320> her face <05869>, and tired <03190> (8686) her head <07218>, and looked out <08259> (8686) at a window <02474>.
- MAKEUP
31 And as Jehu <03058> entered in <0935> (8804) at the gate <08179>, she said <0559> (8799), Had Zimri <02174> peace <07965>, who slew <02026> (8802) his master <0113>?
32 And he lifted up <05375> (8799) his face <06440> to the window <02474>, and said <0559> (8799), Who is on my side? who? And there looked out <08259> (8686) to him two <08147> or three <07969> eunuchs <05631>.
33 And he said <0559> (8799), Throw her down <08058> (8798). So they threw her down <08058> (8799): and some of her blood <01818> was sprinkled <05137> (8799) on the wall <07023>, and on the horses <05483>: and he trode her under foot <07429> (8799).
34 And when he was come in <0935> (8799), he did eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8799), and said <0559> (8799), Go <06485> (8798), see now this cursed <0779> (8803) woman, and bury <06912> (8798) her: for she is a king's <04428> daughter <01323>.
35 And they went <03212> (8799) to bury <06912> (8800) her: but they found <04672> (8804) no more of her than <0518> the skull <01538>, and the feet <07272>, and the palms <03709> of her hands <03027>.
36 Wherefore they came again <07725> (8799), and told <05046> (8686) him. And he said <0559> (8799) , This is the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by <03027> his servant <05650> Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>, saying <0559> (8800), In the portion <02506> of Jezreel <03157> shall dogs <03611> eat <0398> (8799) the flesh <01320> of Jezebel <0348>:
37 And the carcase <05038> of Jezebel <0348> shall be as dung <01828> upon the face <06440> of the field <07704> in the portion <02506> of Jezreel <03157>; so that they shall not say <0559> (8799), This is Jezebel <0348>.
