2 Kings 9:25-26
9:25 Jehu ordered
1 his officer Bidkar, “Pick him up and throw him into the part of the field that once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Remember, you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, when the
Lord pronounced this judgment on him,
9:26 ‘“Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday,” says the
Lord, “and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land,”
2 says the
Lord.’ So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the
Lord said.”
