*
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram . (
Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead Ramowth #
Gil #
ad #,
he and all Israel Yisra #
el #,
because of Hazael king of Syria .
*
But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel Yizr @#
e #
l #
of the wounds which the Syrians had given him ,
when he fought with Hazael king of Syria . )
And Jehu said ,
If it be your minds ,
then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel Yizr @#
e #

*
So Jehu rode in a chariot ,
and went to Jezreel Yizr @#
e #
l #;
for Joram lay there .
And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram .
*
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel Yizr @#
e #
l #,
and he spied the company of Jehu as he came ,
and said ,
I see a company shiph #
ah #.
And Joram said ,
Take an horseman ,
and send to meet them ,
and let him say ,
Is it peace ?
*
So there went one on horseback to meet him ,
and said ,
Thus saith the king ,
Is it peace ?
And Jehu said ,
What hast thou to do with peace ?
turn thee behind me .
And the watchman told ,
saying ,
The messenger came to them ,
but he cometh not again .
*
Then he sent out a second on horseback ,
which came to them ,
and said ,
Thus saith the king ,
Is it peace ?
And Jehu answered ,
What hast thou to do with peace ?
turn thee behind me .
*
And the watchman told ,
saying ,
He came even unto them ,
and cometh not again :
and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi ;
for he driveth furiously shigga #
own #.
*
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 Yizr @#

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 whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many ?
*
And Joram turned his hands ,
and fled ,
and said to Ahaziah ,
There is treachery ,
O Ahaziah .
*
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 .
