II Kings 9 (kjv)

And Elisha^H477 the prophet^H5030 called^H7121 one^H259 of the children^H1121 of the prophets^H5030, and said^H559 unto him, Gird up^H2296 thy loins^H4975, and take^H3947 this box^H6378 of oil^H8081 in thine hand^H3027, and go^H3212 to Ramothgilead^{H7433 H1568}:²And when thou comest^H935 thither, look out^H7200 there Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 the son^H1121 of Nimshi^H5250, and go in^H935, and make him arise up^H6965 from among^H8432 his brethren^H251, and carry^H935 him to an inner^H2315 chamber^H2315;³Then take^H3947 the box^H6378 of oil^H8081, and pour^H3332 it on his head^H7218, and say^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, I have anointed^H4886 thee king^H4428 over Israel^H3478. Then open^H6605 the door^H1817, and flee^H5127, and tarry^H2442 not.

⁴So the young man^H5288, even the young man^H5288 the prophet^H5030, went^H3212 to Ramothgilead^{H7433 H1568}.⁵And when he came^H935, behold, the captains^H8269 of the host^H2428 were sitting^H3427; and he said^H559, I have an errand^H1697 to thee, O captain^H8269. And Jehu^H3058 said^H559, Unto which of all us? And he said^H559, To thee, O captain^H8269.⁶And he arose^H6965, and went^H935 into the house^H1004; and he poured^H3332 the oil^H8081 on his head^H7218, and said^H559 unto him, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, I have anointed^H4886 thee king^H4428 over the people^H5971 of the LORD^H3068, even over Israel^H3478.⁷And thou shalt smite^H5221 the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256 thy master^H113, that I may avenge^H5358 the blood^H1818 of my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, and the blood^H1818 of all the servants^H5650 of the LORD^H3068, at the hand^H3027 of Jezebel^H348.⁸For the whole house^H1004 of Ahab^H256 shall perish^H6: and I will cut off^H3772 from Ahab^H256 him that pisseth^H8366 against the wall^H7023, and him that is shut up^H6113 and left^H5800 in Israel^H3478:⁹And I will make^H5414 the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256 like the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, and like the house^H1004 of Baasha^H1201 the son^H1121 of Ahijah^H281:¹⁰And the dogs^H3611 shall eat^H398 Jezebel^H348 in the portion^H2506 of Jezreel^H3157, and there shall be none to bury^H6912 her. And he opened^H6605 the door^H1817, and fled^H5127.

¹¹Then Jehu^H3058 came forth^H3318 to the servants^H5650 of his lord^H113: and one said^H559 unto him, Is all well^H7965? wherefore came^H935 this mad^H7696 fellow to thee? And he said^H559 unto them, Ye know^H3045 the man^H376, and his communication^H7879.¹²And they said^H559, It is false^H8267; tell^H5046 us now. And he said^H559, Thus and thus spake^H559 he to me, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, I have anointed^H4886 thee king^H4428 over Israel^H3478.¹³Then they hasted^H4116, and took^H3947 every man^H376 his garment^H899, and put^H7760 it under him on the top^H1634 of the stairs^H4609, and blew^H8628 with trumpets^H7782, saying^H559, Jehu^H3058 is king^H4427.¹⁴So Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 the son^H1121 of Nimshi^H5250 conspired^H7194 against Joram^H3141. (Now Joram^H3141 had kept^H8104 Ramothgilead^{H7433 H1568}, he and all Israel^H3478, because^H6440 of Hazael^H2371 king^H4428 of Syria^H758.¹⁵But king^H4428 Joram^H3088 was returned^H7725 to be healed^H7495 in Jezreel^H3157 of the wounds^H4347 which the Syrians^H761 had given^H5221 him, when he fought^H3898 with Hazael^H2371 king^H4428 of Syria^H758.) And Jehu^H3058 said^H559, If it be^H3426 your minds^H5315, then let none^H408 go forth^H3318 nor escape^H6412 out of the city^H5892 to go^H3212 to tell^H5046 it in Jezreel^H3157.¹⁶So Jehu^H3058 rode in a chariot^H7392, and went^H3212 to Jezreel^H3157; for Joram^H3141 lay^H7901 there. And Ahaziah^H274 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 was come down^H3381 to see^H7200 Joram^H3141.¹⁷And there stood^H5975 a watchman^H6822 on the tower^H4026 in Jezreel^H3157, and he spied^H7200 the company^H8229 of Jehu^H3058 as he came^H935, and said^H559, I see^H7200 a company^H8229. And Joram^H3088 said^H559, Take^H3947 an horseman^H7395, and send^H7971 to meet^H7125 them, and let him say^H559, Is it peace^H7965?¹⁸So there went^H3212 one on horseback^{H7392 H5483} to meet^H7125 him, and said^H559, Thus saith^H559 the king^H4428, Is it peace^H7965? And Jehu^H3058 said^H559, What hast thou to do with peace^H7965? turn^H5437 thee behind^H310 me. And the watchman^H6822 told^H5046, saying^H559, The messenger^H4397 came^H935 to them, but he cometh not again^H7725.¹⁹Then he sent out^H7971 a second^H8145 on horseback^{H7392 H5483}, which came^H935 to them, and said^H559, Thus saith^H559 the king^H4428, Is it peace^H7965? And Jehu^H3058 answered^H559, What hast thou to do with peace^H7965? turn^H5437 thee behind^H310 me.²⁰And the watchman^H6822 told^H5046, saying^H559, He came^H935 even unto them, and cometh not again^H7725: and the driving^H4491 is like the driving^H4491 of Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Nimshi^H5250; for he driveth^H5090 furiously^H7697.²¹And Joram^H3088 said^H559, Make ready^H631. And his chariot^H7393 was made ready^H631. And Joram^H3088 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 and Ahaziah^H274 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 went out^H3318, each^H376 in his chariot^H7393, and they went out^H3318 against^H7125 Jehu^H3058, and met^H4672 him in the portion^H2513 of Naboth^H5022 the Jezreelite^H3158.²²And it came to pass, when Joram^H3088 saw^H7200 Jehu^H3058, that he said^H559, Is it peace^H7965, Jehu^H3058? And he answered^H559, What peace^H7965, so long as^H5704 the whoredoms^H2183 of thy mother^H517 Jezebel^H348 and her witchcrafts^H3785 are so many^H7227?²³And Joram^H3088 turned^H2015 his hands^H3027, and fled^H5127, and said^H559 to Ahaziah^H274, There is treachery^H4820, O Ahaziah^H274.²⁴And Jehu^H3058 drew a bow^H7198 with his full^H4390 strength^H3027, and smote^H5221 Jehoram^H3088 between his arms^H2220, and the arrow^H2678 went out^H3318 at his heart^H3820, and he sunk down^H3766 in his chariot^H7393.²⁵Then said^H559 Jehu to Bidkar^H920 his captain^H7991, Take up^H5375, and cast^H7993 him in the portion^H2513 of the field^H7704 of Naboth^H5022 the Jezreelite^H3158: for remember^H2142 how that, when I and thou rode^H7392 together^H6776 after^H310 Ahab^H256 his father^H1, the LORD^H3068 laid^H5375 this burden^H4853 upon him;²⁶Surely I have seen^H7200 yesterday^H570 the blood^H1818 of Naboth^H5022, and the blood^H1818 of his sons^H1121, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and I will requite^H7999 thee in this plat^H2513, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. Now therefore take^H5375 and cast^H7993 him into the plat^H2513 of ground, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068.

²⁷But when Ahaziah^H274 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 saw^H7200 this, he fled^H5127 by the way^H1870 of the garden^H1588 house^H1004. And Jehu^H3058 followed^H7291 after^H310 him, and said^H559, Smite^H5221 him also in the chariot^H4818. And they did so at the going up^H4608 to Gur^H1483, which is by Ibleam^H2991. And he fled^H5127 to Megiddo^H4023, and died^H4191 there.²⁸And his servants^H5650 carried^H7392 him in a chariot to Jerusalem^H3389, and buried^H6912 him in his sepulchre^H6900 with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732.²⁹And in the eleventh^{H259 H6240 H8141} year^H8141 of Joram^H3141 the son^H1121 of Ahab^H256 began Ahaziah^H274 to reign^H4427 over Judah^H3063.

³⁰And when Jehu^H3058 was come^H935 to Jezreel^H3157, Jezebel^H348 heard^H8085 of it; and she painted^{H7760 H6320} her face^H5869, and tired^H3190 her head^H7218, and looked out^H8259 at a window^H2474.³¹And as Jehu^H3058 entered in^H935 at the gate^H8179, she said^H559, Had Zimri^H2174 peace^H7965, who slew^H2026 his master^H113?³²And he lifted up^H5375 his face^H6440 to the window^H2474, and said^H559, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out^H8259 to him two^H8147 or three^H7969 eunuchs^H5631.³³And he said^H559, Throw her down^H8058. So they threw her down^H8058: and some of her blood^H1818 was sprinkled^H5137 on the wall^H7023, and on the horses^H5483: and he trode her under foot^H7429.³⁴And when he was come in^H935, he did eat^H398 and drink^H8354, and said^H559, Go^H6485, see now this cursed^H779 woman, and bury^H6912 her: for she is a king's^H4428 daughter^H1323.³⁵And they went^H3212 to bury^H6912 her: but they found^H4672 no more of her than^H518 the skull^H1538, and the feet^H7272, and the palms^H3709 of her hands^H3027.³⁶Wherefore they came again^H7725, and told^H5046 him. And he said^H559, This is the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696 by^H3027 his servant^H5650 Elijah^H452 the Tishbite^H8664, saying^H559, In the portion^H2506 of Jezreel^H3157 shall dogs^H3611 eat^H398 the flesh^H1320 of Jezebel^H348:³⁷And the carcase^H5038 of Jezebel^H348 shall be as dung^H1828 upon the face^H6440 of the field^H7704 in the portion^H2506 of Jezreel^H3157; so that they shall not say^H559, This is Jezebel^H348.
