Jehu
wrote
letters

cometh
to you, seeing your

are with you, and there are with you

armour

strkjv@2Kings:10:3
@ Look even
out

set
him on his

said

two

stood
not
before

stand
?
strkjv@2Kings:10:5
@ And he that was over the
house

city

up
of the children,
sent
to
Jehu
,
saying
, We are thy
servants

do
all that thou shalt
bid
us; we will not make
any
king
:
do
thou that which is
good
in thine
eyes

strkjv@2Kings:10:6

wrote
a
letter

saying
, If ye be mine, and if ye will
hearken
unto my

,
take
ye the
heads
of the
men
your
masters

come
to me to
Jezreel

morrow

up

slew

put

Lay
ye them in

strkjv@2Kings:10:9

Jehu

strkjv@2Kings:10:13
@
Jehu
met
with the

Ahaziah
king

two

forty

left

any

strkjv@2Kings:10:15
@ And when he was
departed
thence, he
lighted
on
Jehonadab

Rechab
coming to
meet
him: and he
saluted
him, and
said
to him,
Is
thine
heart
right
, as my
heart
is with thy
heart
? And
Jehonadab
answered
, It
is
. If it be,
give
me thine
hand

gave
him his
hand
; and he took him
up
to him into the
chariot

strkjv@2Kings:10:16
@ And he
said

Come
with me, and

zeal

chariot

slew
all that

destroyed
him, according to the
saying
of the
LORD

spake
to
Elijah

strkjv@2Kings:10:18
@ And
Jehu
gathered
all the
people
together

unto them,
Ahab
served
Baal
a
little
m@; but
Jehu
shall
serve
him
much

strkjv@2Kings:10:19
@ Now therefore
call
unto me all the
prophets

priests
; let
none
be
wanting
: for I have a
great
sacrifice
to do to
Baal
; whosoever shall be
wanting

live

Jehu
did
it in
subtilty
, to the intent that he might
destroy
the
worshippers
of
Baal
.
strkjv@2Kings:10:20
@ And
Jehu
said
,
Proclaim
a solemn
assembly
for
Baal

proclaimed
it.
strkjv@2Kings:10:21
@ And
Jehu
sent
through all
Israel
: and all the
worshippers

Baal
came
, so that there was not a
man
left
that
came
not. And they
came
into the
house
of
Baal
; and the
house
of
Baal
was
full
from one
end
to
another
.
strkjv@2Kings:10:22
@ And he
said
unto him that was over the
vestry

forth
vestments

worshippers

Baal

forth
vestments
.
strkjv@2Kings:10:23
@ And
Jehu
went
, and
Jehonadab
the

,
Search
, and
look
that there
be
here with you none of the

worshippers
of
Baal
only.
strkjv@2Kings:10:24
@ And when they went
in
to
offer
sacrifices
and burnt
offerings
,
Jehu
appointed
fourscore
men
without

said
, If
any
of the
men
whom I have
brought
into your
hands
escape
, he that letteth him go, his
life
shall be for the
life
of him.
strkjv@2Kings:10:25

the burnt
offering

Jehu
said
to the
guard

captains
, Go
in
, and
slay
them; let
none
come
forth
. And they
smote
them with the
edge
of the
sword
; and the
guard

captains
cast them
out

went
to the
city

house

them.

down
the
image

down
the

made
it a draught
house

Bethel
Beyth-, and that were in
Dan

@ And the
LORD
said
unto
Jehu

done
unto the
house

Ahab
according to all that was in mine
heart

fourth
generation shall
sit

throne
of
Israel

@ But
Jehu
took no
heed

of
Israel
