  • 1 Kgs 16:9-9 : 9 Then his servant Zimri, commander of half the chariots, conspired against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the home of Arza, who was over the household, drinking himself drunk. 10 Zimri came in, struck him down, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned in his place. 11 As soon as Zimri began to reign and sat on his throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether relative or friend. 12 So Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu. 13 This happened because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of his son Elah, which they committed and led Israel to commit, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols. 14 The rest of the acts of Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. The army was encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16 When the troops who were camped heard it said, 'Zimri has conspired and struck down the king,' all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day in the camp. 17 Then Omri and all Israel with him marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah. 18 When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he went into the citadel of the royal palace, set it on fire around him, and died. 19 This happened because of the sins he committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he caused Israel to commit. 20 The rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy he carried out, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

    9I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah.

    10And dogs will devour Jezebel in the plot of land at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.' Then he opened the door and fled.

    11When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, 'Is everything alright? Why did this madman come to you?' He replied, 'You know the sort of man and his babble.'

    12They said, 'That's not true! Tell us!' So he said, 'This is what he said to me: “This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.”'

    13They quickly took their garments, spread them under him on the bare steps, blew the trumpet, and proclaimed, 'Jehu is king!'

    14So Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-Gilead against Hazael king of Aram.

    15But King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Jehu said, 'If this is your will, let no one escape from the city to report this in Jezreel.'

    16Then Jehu rode to Jezreel, for Joram was resting there, and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.

    17When the watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu's company approaching, he called out, 'I see a company!' Joram said, 'Send a rider to meet them and ask, “Do you come in peace?”'

    18So a horseman went out to meet them and said, 'This is what the king says: Do you come in peace?' Jehu replied, 'What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.' And the watchman reported, 'The messenger reached them but has not returned.'

    19The king sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, 'This is what the king says: Do you come in peace?' Jehu answered, 'What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.'

    20The watchman reported, 'He has reached them, but he has not returned. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives furiously!'

    21Joram ordered, 'Hitch up my chariot.' When it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They found him on the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite.

    22When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, 'Do you come in peace, Jehu?' Jehu replied, 'How can there be peace as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many?'

    23Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, 'Treachery, Ahaziah!'

    32He looked up at the window and called out, 'Who is on my side? Who?' Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.

    33He said, 'Throw her down!' So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.

    34Jehu went inside, ate and drank, and then said, 'Attend to this cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.'

    35But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing of her except the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.

    36They went back and told Jehu, who said, 'This is the word of the LORD that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: “In the plot of land at Jezreel, dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.”'

    37'Jezebel’s body will be like dung on the field in the plot of land at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, “This is Jezebel.”'

    25When Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guards and officers, "Go in and kill them; let no one escape." The guards and officers struck them down with the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal.
