lesserot - 2Kings:9:14-29

lesserot@2Kings:9:14 @ So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept guard at Ramothgilad, he and all Israel, because of Chazael the king of Syria.

lesserot@2Kings:9:15 @ But king Jehoram was returned to be healed in Yizreel of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him, when he was fighting with Chazael the king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none that escapeth go forth out of the city to go to tell it in Yizreel.

lesserot@2Kings:9:16 @ So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Yizreel; for Joram was lying there. And Achazyah the king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

lesserot@2Kings:9:17 @ And the watchman stood on the tower in Yizreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came; and he said, A company do I see, And Jehoram said, Take a horseman, and send out to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

lesserot@2Kings:9:18 @ So there went one riding on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but he hath not returned.

lesserot@2Kings:9:19 @ Then sent he out a second rider on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me.

lesserot@2Kings:9:20 @ And the watchman told, saying, He came up to them, but he hath not returned: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth as though he were mad.

lesserot@2Kings:9:21 @ And Jehoram said, Harness up. And his chariot was harnessed up. And Jehoram the king of Israel and Achazyahu the king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of land of Naboth the Yizreelite.

lesserot@2Kings:9:22 @ And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace can there be with the acts of incest of thy mother Izebel and her many witchcrafts?

lesserot@2Kings:9:23 @ And Jehoram turned about, and fled, and said to Achazyahu, Treachery, Achazyahu.

lesserot@2Kings:9:24 @ And Jehu grasped the bow with his full strength, and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

lesserot@2Kings:9:25 @ Then said he to Bidkar his officer, Lift up, cast him down in the part of the field that was Naboths the Yizreelite; for remember how that I and thou rode alongside each other after Achab his father, when the Lord pronounced over him this fatal decree:

lesserot@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will repay thee in this part of the field, saith the Lord. And now lift up, cast him down into the field, according to the word of the Lord.

lesserot@2Kings:9:27 @ And when Achazyahu the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the gardenhouse; but Jehu pursued after him, and said, Also him smite in the chariot. on the ascent to Gur, which is by Yibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

lesserot@2Kings:9:28 @ And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

lesserot@2Kings:9:29 @ And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab became Achazyah king over Judah.
