2Kings:9:14-29




updv@2Kings:9:14 @ So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

updv@2Kings:9:15 @ but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is in your(note:){+}(:note) mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.

updv@2Kings:9:16 @ So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah came down to see Joram.

updv@2Kings:9:17 @ Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

updv@2Kings:9:18 @ So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he didn't come back.

updv@2Kings:9:19 @ Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.

updv@2Kings:9:20 @ And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and didn't come back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.

updv@2Kings:9:21 @ And Joram said, Get ready. And they got his chariot ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

updv@2Kings:9:22 @ And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

updv@2Kings:9:23 @ And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

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

updv@2Kings:9:25 @ Then [Jehu] said to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and you rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:

updv@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says Yahweh; and I will requite you in this plot [of ground], says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot, according to the word of Yahweh.

updv@2Kings:9:27 @ But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Him too. Kill him. [This happened] in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

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

updv@2Kings:9:29 @ And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
