2 Kings 9:7-9

9:7 You will destroy the family of your master Ahab. ¹  I will get revenge against Jezebel for the shed blood of my servants the prophets and for the shed blood of all the Lord’s servants. ²  9:8 Ahab’s entire family will die. I ³  will cut off every last male belonging to Ahab in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated. ⁴  9:9 I will make Ahab’s dynasty ⁵  like those of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.

¹ tn Or “strike down the house of Ahab your master.”

² tn Heb “I will avenge the shed blood of my servants the prophets and the shed blood of all the servants of the Lord from the hand of Jezebel.”

³ tc The LXX has the second person, “you.”

⁴ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or, ‘abandoned’] in Israel.” On the phrase וְעָצוּר וְעָזוּב (vÿ’atsur vÿ’azur, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) see the note at 1 Kgs 14:10.

⁵ tn Heb “house.”
