drb @2Kings:9:1 @And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets , slid said to him : Gird up thy loins , and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand , and go to Ramoth Galaad . drb @2Kings:9:2 @And when thou art come thither , thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi : and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren , and carry him into an inner chamber . drb @2Kings:9:3 @Then taking the little bottle of oil , thou shalt pour it on his head , and shalt say : Thus saith the Lord : I have anointed thee king over Israel . And thou shalt open the door and flee , and shalt not stay there . drb @2Kings:9:4 @So the young man , the servant of the prophet , went awry to Ramoth Galaad , drb @2Kings:9:5 @And went in thither : and behold the captains of the army were sitting : and he said : I have a word to thee , O prince . And Jehu said : Unto whom of us all ? And he said : To thee , O prince . drb @2Kings:9:6 @And he arose , and went into the chamber : and he poured the oil upon his head , and said : Thus saith the Lord God of Israel : I have anointed thee king over Israel , the people of the Lord . drb @2Kings:9:7 @And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master , and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets , and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel . drb @2Kings:9:8 @And I will destroy all the house of Achab , and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well , and him that is shut up , and the meanest in Israel . drb @2Kings:9:9 @And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat , and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias . drb @2Kings:9:10 @And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel , and there shall be no one to bury her . And he opened the door and fled . drb @2Kings:9:11 @Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord : and they said to him : Are all things well ? why came this mad man to thee ? And he said to them : You know the man , and what he said . drb @2Kings:9:12 @But they answered : It is false , but rather do thou tell us . And he said to them : Thus and thus did he speak to me : and he said : Thus saith the Lord : I have anointed thee king over Israel . drb @2Kings:9:13 @Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet , after the manner of a judgment seat , and they sounded the trumpet , and said : Jehu is king . drb @2Kings:9:14 @So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram . Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad , he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria : drb @2Kings:9:15 @And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds , for the Syrians had wounded him , when he fought with Hazael king of Syria . And Jehu said : If it please you , let no mall go forth or flee out of the city , lest he go , and tell in Jezrahel . drb @2Kings:9:16 @And he got up , and went into Jezrahel : for Joram was sick there , and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram . drb @2Kings:9:17 @The watchmen therefore , that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel , saw the troop of Jehu coming , and said : I see a troop . And Joram said : Take a chariot , and send to meet them , and let him that goeth say : Is all well ? drb @2Kings:9:18 @So there went one in a chariot to meet him , and said : Thus saith the king : Are all things peaceable ? And Jehu said : What hast thou to do with peace ? go behind and follow me . And the watchman told , saying : The messenger came to them , but he returneth not . drb @2Kings:9:19 @And he sent a second chariot of horses : and he came to them , and said : Thus saith the king : Is there peace ? And Jehu said : What hast thou to do with peace ? pass , and follow me . drb @2Kings:9:20 @And the watchman told , saying : He came even to them , but returneth not : and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi , for he drives furiously drb @2Kings:9:21 @And Joram said : Make ready the chariot . And they made ready his chariot , and Joram king of Israel , and Ochozias king of Juda went out , each in his chariot , and they went out to meet Jehu , and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite . drb @2Kings:9:22 @And when Joram saw Jehu , he said : Is there peace , Jehu ? And he answered : What peace ? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother , and her many sorceries are in their vigour . drb @2Kings:9:23 @And Joram turned his hand , and fleeing , said to Ochozias : There is treachery , Ochozias . drb @2Kings:9:24 @But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand , and shot Joram between the shoulders : and the arrow went out through his heart , and immediately he fell in his chariot . drb @2Kings:9:25 @And Jehu said to Badacer his captain : Take him , and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite : for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man 's father , that the Lord laid this burden upon him , saying : drb @2Kings:9:26 @If I do not requite thee in this field , saith the Lord , for the blood of Naboth , and for the blood of his children , which I saw yesterday , saith the Lord . So now take him , and cast him into the field , according to the word of the Lord . drb @2Kings:9:27 @But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this , fled by the way of the garden house : and Jehu pursued him , and said : Strike him also in his chariot . And they struck him in the going up to Gaver , which is by Jeblaam : and he fled into Mageddo , and died there . drb @2Kings:9:28 @And his servants laid him upon his chariot , and carried him to Jerusalem : and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David . drb @2Kings:9:29 @In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab , Ochozias reigned over Juda , drb @2Kings:9:30 @And Jehu came into Jezrahel . But Jezabel hearing of his coming in , painted her face with stibic stone , and adorned her head , and looked out of a window drb @2Kings:9:31 @At Jehu coming in at the gate , and said : Can there be peace for Zambri , that hath killed his master ? drb @2Kings:9:32 @And Jehu lifted up his face to the window , and said : Who is this ? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him . drb @2Kings:9:33 @And he said to them : Throw her down headlong : and they threw her down , and the wall was sprinkled with her blood , and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her . drb @2Kings:9:34 @And when he was come in , to eat , and to drink , he said : Go , and see after that cursed woman , and bury her : because she is a king 's daughter . drb @2Kings:9:35 @And when they went to bury her , they found nothing but the skull , and the feet , and the extremities of her hands . drb @2Kings:9:36 @And coming back they told him . And Jehu said : It is the word of the Lord , which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite , saying : In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel , drb @2Kings:9:37 @And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel , so that they who pass by shall say : Is this that same Jezabel ?
