And Elisha{H477} the prophet{H5030} called{H7121} one{H259} of the sons{H1121} of the prophets,{H5030} and said{H559} unto him, Gird up{H2296} thy loins,{H4975} and take{H3947} this vial{H6378} of oil{H8081} in thy hand,{H3027} and go{H3212} to Ramoth-gilead.{H7433}

And 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}

Then take{H3947} the vial{H6378} of oil,{H8081} and pour{H3332} it on his head,{H7218} and say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} I have anointed{H4886} thee king{H4428} over Israel.{H3478} Then open{H6605} the door,{H1817} and flee,{H5127} and tarry{H2442} not.

So the young man,{H5288} even the young man{H5288} the prophet,{H5030} went{H3212} to Ramoth-gilead.{H7433}

And 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 us all? And he said,{H559} To thee, O captain.{H8269}

And 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} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} I have anointed{H4886} thee king{H4428} over the people{H5971} of Jehovah,{H3068} even over Israel.{H3478}

And 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 Jehovah,{H3068} at the hand{H3027} of Jezebel.{H348}

For the whole house{H1004} of Ahab{H256} shall perish;{H6} and I will cut off{H3772} from Ahab{H256} every man -{H8366} child,{H7023} and him that is shut up{H6113} and him that is left{H5800} at large in Israel.{H3478}

And 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}

And 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}

Then 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 what his talk{H7879} was.

And 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} Jehovah,{H3068} I have anointed{H4886} thee king{H4428} over Israel.{H3478}

Then 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} the trumpet,{H7782} saying,{H559} Jehu{H3058} is king.{H4427}

So Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Jehoshaphat{H3092} the son{H1121} of Nimshi{H5250} conspired{H7194} against Joram.{H3141} (Now Joram{H3141} was keeping{H8104} Ramoth-gilead,{H7433} he and all Israel,{H3478} because{H6440} of Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria;{H758}

but 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 this be{H3426} your mind,{H5315} then let none{H408} escape{H6412} and go forth{H3318} out of the city,{H5892} to go{H3212} to tell{H5046} it in Jezreel.{H3157}

So 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}

Now the watchman{H6822} was standing{H5975} 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} a horseman,{H7395} and send{H7971} to meet{H7125} them, and let him say,{H559} Is it peace?{H7965}

So there went{H3212} one on horseback{H7392} 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 back.{H7725}

Then he sent out{H7971} a second{H8145} on horseback,{H7392} who 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.

And the watchman{H6822} told,{H5046} saying,{H559} He came{H935} even unto them, and cometh not back:{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}

And Joram{H3088} said,{H559} Make ready.{H631} And they made ready{H631} his chariot.{H7393} 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} to meet{H7125} Jehu,{H3058} and found{H4672} him in the portion{H2513} of Naboth{H5022} the Jezreelite.{H3158}

And 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}

And Joram{H3088} turned{H2015} his hands,{H3027} and fled,{H5127} and said{H559} to Ahaziah,{H274} There is treachery,{H4820} O Ahaziah.{H274}

And Jehu{H3058} drew his bow{H7198} with his full{H4390} strength,{H3027} and smote{H5221} Joram{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}

Then 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} Jehovah{H3068} laid{H5375} this burden{H4853} upon him:

Surely I have seen{H7200} yesterday{H570} the blood{H1818} of Naboth,{H5022} and the blood{H1818} of his sons,{H1121} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} and I will requite{H7999} thee in this plat,{H2513} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} Now therefore take{H5375} and cast{H7993} him into the plat{H2513} [of ground], according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah.{H3068}

But 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 smote him] at the ascent{H4608} of Gur,{H1483} which is by Ibleam.{H2991} And he fled{H5127} to Megiddo,{H4023} and died{H4191} there.

And 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}

And in the eleventh{H6240} year{H8141} of Joram{H3141} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} began Ahaziah{H274} to reign{H4427} over Judah.{H3063}

And when Jehu{H3058} was come{H935} to Jezreel,{H3157} Jezebel{H348} heard{H8085} of it; and she painted{H7760} her eyes,{H5869} and attired{H3190} her head,{H7218} and looked out{H8259} at the window.{H2474}

And as Jehu{H3058} entered in{H935} at the gate,{H8179} she said,{H559} Is it peace,{H7965} thou Zimri,{H2174} thy master's{H113} murderer?{H2026}

And 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}

And 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 trod her under foot.{H7429}

And when he was come in,{H935} he did eat{H398} and drink;{H8354} and he said,{H559} See{H6485} now to this cursed{H779} woman, and bury{H6912} her; for she is a king's{H4428} daughter.{H1323}

And 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}

Wherefore they came back,{H7725} and told{H5046} him. And he said,{H559} This is the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{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 the dogs{H3611} eat{H398} the flesh{H1320} of Jezebel;{H348}

and the body{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}
