akjv - 2Kings:9:16-29

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

akjv@2Kings:9:17 @ And there stood a watchman 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 an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

akjv@2Kings:9:18 @ So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he comes not again.

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

akjv@2Kings:9:20 @ And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and comes not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.

akjv@2Kings:9:21 @ And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

akjv@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 prostitutions of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

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

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

akjv@2Kings:9:25 @ Then said Jehu 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, the LORD laid this burden on him;

akjv@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, said the LORD; and I will requite you in this plat, said the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.

akjv@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, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

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

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