2 Kings 8:1--10:36

8:1

Then spake
<01696> (8765)

Elisha
<0477>

unto the woman
<0802>_,

whose son
<01121>

he had restored to life
<02421> (8689)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

thou and thine household
<01004>_,

and sojourn
<01481> (8798)

wheresoever
<0834>

thou canst sojourn
<01481> (8799)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath called
<07121> (8804)

for a famine
<07458>_;

and it shall also come
<0935> (8804)

upon the land
<0776>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_.

8:2

And the woman
<0802>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

after the saying
<01697>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_:

and she went
<03212> (8799)

with her household
<01004>_,

and sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_.

8:3

And it came to pass at the seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_'

end
<07097>_,

that the woman
<0802>

returned
<07725> (8799)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and she went forth
<03318> (8799)

to cry
<06817> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>

for her house
<01004>

and for her land
<07704>_.

8:4

And the king
<04428>

talked
<01696> (8764)

with Gehazi
<01522>

the servant
<05288>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Tell
<05608> (8761)

me, I pray thee, all the great things
<01419>

that Elisha
<0477>

hath done
<06213> (8804)_.

8:5

And it came to pass, as he was telling
<05608> (8764)

the king
<04428>

how he had restored
<02421> (0)

a dead body
<04191> (8801)

to life
<02421> (8689)_,

that, behold, the woman
<0802>_,

whose son
<01121>

he had restored to life
<02421> (8689)_,

cried
<06817> (8802)

to the king
<04428>

for her house
<01004>

and for her land
<07704>_.

And Gehazi
<01522>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

this [is] the woman
<0802>_,

and this [is] her son
<01121>_,

whom Elisha
<0477>

restored to life
<02421> (8689)_.

8:6

And when the king
<04428>

asked
<07592> (8799)

the woman
<0802>_,

she told
<05608> (8762)

him. So the king
<04428>

appointed
<05414> (8799)

unto her a certain
<0259>

officer
<05631>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Restore
<07725> (8685)

all that [was] hers, and all the fruits
<08393>

of the field
<07704>

since the day
<03117>

that she left
<05800> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

even until now. {officer: or, eunuch}

8:7

And Elisha
<0477>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Damascus
<01834>_;

and Benhadad
<01130>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

was sick
<02470> (8802)_;

and it was told
<05046> (8714)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

is come
<0935> (8804)

hither
<02008>_.

8:8

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hazael
<02371>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

a present
<04503>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

meet
<07125> (8800)

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and enquire
<01875> (8804)

of the LORD
<03068>

by him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_?

8:9

So Hazael
<02371>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and took
<03947> (8799)

a present
<04503>

with him
<03027>_,

even of every good thing
<02898>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

forty
<0705>

camels
<01581>_'

burden
<04853>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy son
<01121>

Benhadad
<01130>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_?

{with...: Heb. in his hand}

8:10

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto him, Thou mayest certainly
<02421> (8800)

recover
<02421> (8799)_:

howbeit the LORD
<03068>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me that he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

8:11

And he settled
<05975> (8686)

his countenance
<06440>

stedfastly
<07760> (8799)_,

until he was ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:

and the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

wept
<01058> (8799)_.

{stedfastly: Heb. and set it}

8:12

And Hazael
<02371>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why weepeth
<01058> (8802)

my lord
<0113>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I know
<03045> (8804)

the evil
<07451>

that thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

their strong holds
<04013>

wilt thou set
<07971> (8762)

on fire
<0784>_,

and their young men
<0970>

wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)

with the sword
<02719>_,

and wilt dash
<07376> (8762)

their children
<05768>_,

and rip up
<01234> (8762)

their women with child
<02030>_.

8:13

And Hazael
<02371>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

But what, [is] thy servant
<05650>

a dog
<03611>_,

that he should do
<06213> (8799)

this great
<01419>

thing
<01697>_?

And Elisha
<0477>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me that thou [shalt be] king
<04428>

over Syria
<0758>_.

8:14

So he departed
<03212> (8799)

from Elisha
<0477>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to his master
<0113>_;

who said
<0559> (8799)

to him, What said
<0559> (8804)

Elisha
<0477>

to thee? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

He told
<0559> (8804)

me [that] thou shouldest surely
<02421> (8800)

recover
<02421> (8799)_.

8:15

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that he took
<03947> (8799)

a thick cloth
<04346>_,

and dipped
<02881> (8799)

[it] in water
<04325>_,

and spread
<06566> (8799)

[it] on his face
<06440>_,

so that he died
<04191> (8799)_:

and Hazael
<02371>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

8:16

And in the fifth
<02568>

year
<08141>

of Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Jehoshaphat
<03092>

[being] then king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

{began...: Heb. reigned}

8:17

Thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

8:18

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as did
<06213> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for the daughter
<01323>

of Ahab
<0256>

was his wife
<0802>_:

and he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:19

Yet the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not destroy
<07843> (8687)

Judah
<03063>

for David
<01732>

his servant's
<05650>

sake, as he promised
<0559> (8804)

him to give
<05414> (8800)

him alway
<03117>

a light
<05216>_,

[and] to his children
<01121>_.

{light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}

8:20

In his days
<03117>

Edom
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8804)

from under the hand
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made
<04427> (8686)

a king
<04428>

over themselves.

8:21

So Joram
<03141>

went over
<05674> (8799)

to Zair
<06811>_,

and all the chariots
<07393>

with him: and he rose
<06965> (8804)

by night
<03915>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Edomites
<0123>

which compassed him about
<05437> (8802)_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>_:

and the people
<05971>

fled
<05127> (8799)

into their tents
<0168>_.

8:22

Yet Edom
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8799)

from under the hand
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>

unto this day
<03117>_.

Then Libnah
<03841>

revolted
<06586> (8799)

at the same
<01931>

time
<06256>_.

8:23

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Joram
<03141>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

8:24

And Joram
<03141>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Ahaziah
<0274>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Ahaziah: also called, Azariah, and Jehoahaz}

8:25

In the twelfth
<08147> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

did Ahaziah
<0274>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

begin to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

8:26

Two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was] Ahaziah
<0274>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

one
<0259>

year
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Athaliah
<06271>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Omri
<06018>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{daughter: or, granddaughter}

8:27

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as [did] the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for he [was] the son in law
<02860>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

8:28

And he went
<03212> (8799)

with Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

to the war
<04421>

against Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

in Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_;

and the Syrians
<0761>

wounded
<05221> (8686)

Joram
<03141>_.

8:29

And king
<04428>

Joram
<03141>

went back
<07725> (8799)

to be healed
<07495> (8692)

in Jezreel
<03157>

of the wounds
<04347>

which the Syrians
<0761>

had given
<05221> (8686)

him at Ramah
<07414>_,

when he fought
<03898> (8736)

against Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_.

And Ahaziah
<0274>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

in Jezreel
<03157>_,

because he was sick
<02470> (8802)_.

{which...: Heb. wherewith the Syrians had wounded} {Ramah: called Ramoth} {sick: Heb. wounded}

9:1

And Elisha
<0477>

the prophet
<05030>

called
<07121> (8804)

one
<0259>

of the children
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Gird up
<02296> (8798)

thy loins
<04975>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

this box
<06378>

of oil
<08081>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_:

9:2

And when thou comest
<0935> (8804)

thither, look out
<07200> (8798)

there Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the son
<01121>

of Nimshi
<05250>_,

and go in
<0935> (8804)_,

and make him arise up
<06965> (8689)

from among
<08432>

his brethren
<0251>_,

and carry
<0935> (8689)

him to an inner
<02315>

chamber
<02315>_;

{inner...: Heb. chamber in a chamber}

9:3

Then take
<03947> (8804)

the box
<06378>

of oil
<08081>_,

and pour
<03332> (8804)

[it] on his head
<07218>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I have anointed
<04886> (8804)

thee king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

Then open
<06605> (8804)

the door
<01817>_,

and flee
<05127> (8804)_,

and tarry
<02442> (8762)

not.

9:4

So the young man
<05288>_,

[even] the young man
<05288>

the prophet
<05030>_,

went
<03212> (8799)

to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.

9:5

And when he came
<0935> (8799)_,

behold, the captains
<08269>

of the host
<02428>

[were] sitting
<03427> (8802)_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have an errand
<01697>

to thee, O captain
<08269>_.

And Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Unto which of all us? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

To thee, O captain
<08269>_.

9:6

And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_;

and he poured
<03332> (8799)

the oil
<08081>

on his head
<07218>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I have anointed
<04886> (8804)

thee king
<04428>

over the people
<05971>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[even] over Israel
<03478>_.

9:7

And thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

thy master
<0113>_,

that I may avenge
<05358> (8765)

the blood
<01818>

of my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

and the blood
<01818>

of all the servants
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

at the hand
<03027>

of Jezebel
<0348>_.

9:8

For the whole house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_:

and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Ahab
<0256>

him that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_,

and him that is shut up
<06113> (8803)

and left
<05800> (8803)

in Israel
<03478>_:

9:9

And I will make
<05414> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

like the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

and like the house
<01004>

of Baasha
<01201>

the son
<01121>

of Ahijah
<0281>_:

9:10

And the dogs
<03611>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

Jezebel
<0348>

in the portion
<02506>

of Jezreel
<03157>_,

and [there shall be] none to bury
<06912> (8802)

[her]. And he opened
<06605> (8799)

the door
<01817>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

9:11

Then Jehu
<03058>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

to the servants
<05650>

of his lord
<0113>_:

and [one] said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is] all well
<07965>_?

wherefore came
<0935> (8804)

this mad
<07696> (8794)

[fellow] to thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye know
<03045> (8804)

the man
<0376>_,

and his communication
<07879>_.

9:12

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] false
<08267>_;

tell
<05046> (8685)

us now. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus and thus spake
<0559> (8804)

he to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I have anointed
<04886> (8804)

thee king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

9:13

Then they hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his garment
<0899>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[it] under him on the top
<01634>

of the stairs
<04609>_,

and blew
<08628> (8799)

with trumpets
<07782>_,

saying
<0559> (8799)_,

Jehu
<03058>

is king
<04427> (8804)_.

{is king: Heb. reigneth}

9:14

So Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the son
<01121>

of Nimshi
<05250>

conspired
<07194> (8691)

against Joram
<03141>_.

(Now Joram
<03141>

had kept
<08104> (8802)

Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_,

he and all Israel
<03478>_,

because
<06440>

of Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_.

9:15

But king
<04428>

Joram
<03088>

was returned
<07725> (8799)

to be healed
<07495> (8692)

in Jezreel
<03157>

of the wounds
<04347>

which the Syrians
<0761>

had given
<05221> (8686)

him, when he fought
<03898> (8736)

with Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>.)

And Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If it be
<03426>

your minds
<05315>_,

[then] let none
<0408>

go forth
<03318> (8799)

[nor] escape
<06412>

out of the city
<05892>

to go
<03212> (8800)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

[it] in Jezreel
<03157>_.

{Joram: Heb. Jehoram but not in verse sixteen} {had given: Heb. smote} {let none...: Heb. let no escaper go, etc}

9:16

So Jehu
<03058>

rode in a chariot
<07392> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Jezreel
<03157>_;

for Joram
<03141>

lay
<07901> (8802)

there. And Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

was come down
<03381> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

Joram
<03141>_.

9:17

And there stood
<05975> (8802)

a watchman
<06822> (8802)

on the tower
<04026>

in Jezreel
<03157>_,

and he spied
<07200> (8799)

the company
<08229>

of Jehu
<03058>

as he came
<0935> (8800)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I see
<07200> (8802)

a company
<08229>_.

And Joram
<03088>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

an horseman
<07395>_,

and send
<07971> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them, and let him say
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] peace
<07965>_?

9:18

So there went
<03212> (8799)

one on horseback
<07392> (8802) <05483>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

[Is it] peace
<07965>_?

And Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What hast thou to do with peace
<07965>_?

turn
<05437> (8798)

thee behind
<0310>

me. And the watchman
<06822> (8802)

told
<05046> (8686)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The messenger
<04397>

came
<0935> (8804)

to them, but he cometh not again
<07725> (8804)_.

9:19

Then he sent out
<07971> (8799)

a second
<08145>

on horseback
<07392> (8802) <05483>_,

which came
<0935> (8799)

to them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

[Is it] peace
<07965>_?

And Jehu
<03058>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

What hast thou to do with peace
<07965>_?

turn
<05437> (8798)

thee behind
<0310>

me.

9:20

And the watchman
<06822> (8802)

told
<05046> (8686)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He came
<0935> (8804)

even unto them, and cometh not again
<07725> (8804)_:

and the driving
<04491>

[is] like the driving
<04491>

of Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Nimshi
<05250>_;

for he driveth
<05090> (8799)

furiously
<07697>_.

{driving: or, marching} {furiously: Heb. in madness}

9:21

And Joram
<03088>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Make ready
<0631> (8798)_.

And his chariot
<07393>

was made ready
<0631> (8799)_.

And Joram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

each
<0376>

in his chariot
<07393>_,

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

Jehu
<03058>_,

and met
<04672> (8799)

him in the portion
<02513>

of Naboth
<05022>

the Jezreelite
<03158>_.

{Make ready: Heb. Bind} {met: Heb. found}

9:22

And it came to pass, when Joram
<03088>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Jehu
<03058>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] peace
<07965>_,

Jehu
<03058>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

What peace
<07965>_,

so long as
<05704>

the whoredoms
<02183>

of thy mother
<0517>

Jezebel
<0348>

and her witchcrafts
<03785>

[are so] many
<07227>_?

9:23

And Joram
<03088>

turned
<02015> (8799)

his hands
<03027>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Ahaziah
<0274>_,

[There is] treachery
<04820>_,

O Ahaziah
<0274>_.

9:24

And Jehu
<03058>

drew a bow
<07198>

with his full
<04390> (8765)

strength
<03027>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Jehoram
<03088>

between his arms
<02220>_,

and the arrow
<02678>

went out
<03318> (8799)

at his heart
<03820>_,

and he sunk down
<03766> (8799)

in his chariot
<07393>_.

{drew...: Heb. filled his hand with a bow} {sunk: Heb. bowed}

9:25

Then said
<0559> (8799)

[Jehu] to Bidkar
<0920>

his captain
<07991>_,

Take up
<05375> (8798)_,

[and] cast
<07993> (8685)

him in the portion
<02513>

of the field
<07704>

of Naboth
<05022>

the Jezreelite
<03158>_:

for remember
<02142> (8798)

how that, when I and thou rode
<07392> (8802)

together
<06776>

after
<0310>

Ahab
<0256>

his father
<01>_,

the LORD
<03068>

laid
<05375> (8804)

this burden
<04853>

upon him;

9:26

Surely I have seen
<07200> (8804)

yesterday
<0570>

the blood
<01818>

of Naboth
<05022>_,

and the blood
<01818>

of his sons
<01121>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and I will requite
<07999> (8765)

thee in this plat
<02513>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)

[and] cast
<07993> (8685)

him into the plat
<02513>

[of ground], according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods} {plat: or, portion}

9:27

But when Ahaziah
<0274>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

saw
<07200> (8804)

[this], he fled
<05127> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of the garden
<01588>

house
<01004>_.

And Jehu
<03058>

followed
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

him also in the chariot
<04818>_.

[And they did so] at the going up
<04608>

to Gur
<01483>_,

which [is] by Ibleam
<02991>_.

And he fled
<05127> (8799)

to Megiddo
<04023>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)

there.

9:28

And his servants
<05650>

carried
<07392> (8686)

him in a chariot to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his sepulchre
<06900>

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

9:29

And in the eleventh
<0259> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

began Ahaziah
<0274>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Judah
<03063>_.

9:30

And when Jehu
<03058>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Jezreel
<03157>_,

Jezebel
<0348>

heard
<08085> (8804)

[of it]; and she painted
<07760> (8799) <06320>

her face
<05869>_,

and tired
<03190> (8686)

her head
<07218>_,

and looked out
<08259> (8686)

at a window
<02474>_.

{painted...: Heb. put her eyes in painting}

9:31

And as Jehu
<03058>

entered in
<0935> (8804)

at the gate
<08179>_,

she said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Had] Zimri
<02174>

peace
<07965>_,

who slew
<02026> (8802)

his master
<0113>_?

9:32

And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his face
<06440>

to the window
<02474>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out
<08259> (8686)

to him two
<08147>

[or] three
<07969>

eunuchs
<05631>_.

{eunuchs: or, chamberlains}

9:33

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Throw her down
<08058> (8798)_.

So they threw her down
<08058> (8799)_:

and [some] of her blood
<01818>

was sprinkled
<05137> (8799)

on the wall
<07023>_,

and on the horses
<05483>_:

and he trode her under foot
<07429> (8799)_.

9:34

And when he was come in
<0935> (8799)_,

he did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<06485> (8798)_,

see now this cursed
<0779> (8803)

[woman], and bury
<06912> (8798)

her: for she [is] a king's
<04428>

daughter
<01323>_.

9:35

And they went
<03212> (8799)

to bury
<06912> (8800)

her: but they found
<04672> (8804)

no more of her than
<0518>

the skull
<01538>_,

and the feet
<07272>_,

and the palms
<03709>

of [her] hands
<03027>_.

9:36

Wherefore they came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servant
<05650>

Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In the portion
<02506>

of Jezreel
<03157>

shall dogs
<03611>

eat
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

of Jezebel
<0348>_:

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

9:37

And the carcase
<05038>

of Jezebel
<0348>

shall be as dung
<01828>

upon the face
<06440>

of the field
<07704>

in the portion
<02506>

of Jezreel
<03157>_;

[so] that they shall not say
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] Jezebel
<0348>_.

10:1

And Ahab
<0256>

had seventy
<07657>

sons
<01121>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

And Jehu
<03058>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

letters
<05612>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

unto the rulers
<08269>

of Jezreel
<03157>_,

to the elders
<02205>_,

and to them that brought up
<0539> (8802)

Ahab's
<0256>

[children], saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{them...: Heb. nourishers}

10:2

Now as soon as this letter
<05612>

cometh
<0935> (8800)

to you, seeing your master's
<0113>

sons
<01121>

[are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots
<07393>

and horses
<05483>_,

a fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>

also, and armour
<05402>_;

10:3

Look even out
<07200> (8804)

the best
<02896>

and meetest
<03477>

of your master's
<0113>

sons
<01121>_,

and set
<07760> (8804)

[him] on his father's
<01>

throne
<03678>_,

and fight
<03898> (8734)

for your master's
<0113>

house
<01004>_.

10:4

But they were exceedingly
<03966> <03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8804)

not before
<06440>

him: how then shall we stand
<05975> (8799)_?

10:5

And he that [was] over the house
<01004>_,

and he that [was] over the city
<05892>_,

the elders
<02205>

also, and the bringers up
<0539> (8802)

[of the children], sent
<07971> (8799)

to Jehu
<03058>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We [are] thy servants
<05650>_,

and will do
<06213> (8799)

all that thou shalt bid
<0559> (8799)

us; we will not make any
<0376>

king
<04427> (8686)_:

do
<06213> (8798)

thou [that which is] good
<02896>

in thine eyes
<05869>_.

10:6

Then he wrote
<03789> (8799)

a letter
<05612>

the second time
<08145>

to them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If ye [be] mine, and [if] ye will hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto my voice
<06963>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

ye the heads
<07218>

of the men
<0582>

your master's
<0113>

sons
<01121>_,

and come
<0935> (8798)

to me to Jezreel
<03157>

by to morrow
<04279>

this time
<06256>_.

Now the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

[being] seventy
<07657>

persons
<0376>_,

[were] with the great men
<01419>

of the city
<05892>_,

which brought them up
<01431> (8764)_.

{mine: Heb. for me}

10:7

And it came to pass, when the letter
<05612>

came
<0935> (8800)

to them, that they took
<03947> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

seventy
<07657>

persons
<0376>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

their heads
<07218>

in baskets
<01731>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

him [them] to Jezreel
<03157>_.

10:8

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a messenger
<04397>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They have brought
<0935> (8689)

the heads
<07218>

of the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lay
<07760> (8798)

ye them in two
<08147>

heaps
<06652>

at the entering in
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

until the morning
<01242>_.

10:9

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

that he went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to all the people
<05971>_,

Ye [be] righteous
<06662>_:

behold, I conspired
<07194> (8804)

against my master
<0113>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

him: but who slew
<05221> (8689)

all these?

10:10

Know
<03045> (8798)

now
<0645>

that there shall fall
<05307> (8799)

unto the earth
<0776>

nothing of the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

concerning the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

[that] which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servant
<05650>

Elijah
<0452>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

10:11

So Jehu
<03058>

slew
<05221> (8686)

all that remained
<07604> (8737)

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

in Jezreel
<03157>_,

and all his great men
<01419>_,

and his kinsfolks
<03045> (8794)_,

and his priests
<03548>_,

until he left
<07604> (8689)

him none remaining
<08300>_.

{kinsfolks: or, acquaintance}

10:12

And he arose
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<0935> (8799)_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.

[And] as he [was] at the shearing
<07462> (8802)

house
<01004> (8677) <01044>

in the way
<01870>_,

{shearing...: Heb. house of shepherds binding sheep}

10:13

Jehu
<03058>

met
<04672> (8804)

with the brethren
<0251>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [are] ye? And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

We [are] the brethren
<0251>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_;

and we go down
<03381> (8799)

to salute
<07965>

the children
<01121>

of the king
<04428>

and the children
<01121>

of the queen
<01377>_.

{met with: Heb. found} {to salute...: Heb. to the peace of, etc}

10:14

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<08610> (8798)

them alive
<02416>_.

And they took
<08610> (8799)

them alive
<02416>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

them at the pit
<0953>

of the shearing house
<01044>_,

[even] two
<08147>

and forty
<0705>

men
<0376>_;

neither left
<07604> (8689)

he any
<0376>

of them.

10:15

And when he was departed
<03212> (8799)

thence, he lighted
<04672> (8799)

on Jehonadab
<03082>

the son
<01121>

of Rechab
<07394>

[coming] to meet
<07125> (8800)

him: and he saluted
<01288> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Is
<03426>

thine heart
<03824>

right
<03477>_,

as my heart
<03824>

[is] with thy heart
<03824>_?

And Jehonadab
<03082>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

It is
<03426>_.

If it be, give
<05414> (8798)

[me] thine hand
<03027>_.

And he gave
<05414> (8799)

[him] his hand
<03027>_;

and he took him up
<05927> (8686)

to him into the chariot
<04818>_.

{lighted on: Heb. found} {saluted: Heb. blessed}

10:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

with me, and see
<07200> (8798)

my zeal
<07068>

for the LORD
<03068>_.

So they made him ride
<07392> (8686)

in his chariot
<07393>_.

10:17

And when he came
<0935> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

he slew
<05221> (8686)

all that remained
<07604> (8737)

unto Ahab
<0256>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

till he had destroyed
<08045> (8689)

him, according to the saying
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

to Elijah
<0452>_.

10:18

And Jehu
<03058>

gathered
<06908> (0)

all the people
<05971>

together
<06908> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ahab
<0256>

served
<05647> (8804)

Baal
<01168>

a little
<04592>_;

[but] Jehu
<03058>

shall serve
<05647> (8799)

him much
<07235> (8687)_.

10:19

Now therefore call
<07121> (8798)

unto me all the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>_,

all his servants
<05647> (8802)_,

and all his priests
<03548>_;

let none
<0376>

be wanting
<06485> (8735)_:

for I have a great
<01419>

sacrifice
<02077>

[to do] to Baal
<01168>_;

whosoever shall be wanting
<06485> (8735)_,

he shall not live
<02421> (8799)_.

But Jehu
<03058>

did
<06213> (8804)

[it] in subtilty
<06122>_,

to the intent that he might destroy
<06> (8687)

the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_.

10:20

And Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Proclaim
<06942> (8761)

a solemn assembly
<06116>

for Baal
<01168>_.

And they proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

[it]. {Proclaim: Heb. Sanctify}

10:21

And Jehu
<03058>

sent
<07971> (8799)

through all Israel
<03478>_:

and all the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

so that there was not a man
<0376>

left
<07604> (8738)

that came
<0935> (8804)

not. And they came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_;

and the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>

was full
<04390> (8735)

from one end
<06310>

to another
<06310>_.

{full...: or, so full that they stood mouth to mouth}

10:22

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him that [was] over the vestry
<04458>_,

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

vestments
<03830>

for all the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_.

And he brought them forth
<03318> (8686)

vestments
<04403>_.

10:23

And Jehu
<03058>

went
<0935> (8799)_,

and Jehonadab
<03082>

the son
<01121>

of Rechab
<07394>_,

into the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_,

Search
<02664> (8761)_,

and look
<07200> (8798)

that there be
<03426>

here with you none of the servants
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>

only.

10:24

And when they went in
<0935> (8799)

to offer
<06213> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>

and burnt offerings
<05930>_,

Jehu
<03058>

appointed
<07760> (8804)

fourscore
<08084>

men
<0376>

without
<02351>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[If] any
<0376>

of the men
<0582>

whom I have brought
<0935> (8688)

into your hands
<03027>

escape
<04422> (8735)_,

[he that letteth him go], his life
<05315>

[shall be] for the life
<05315>

of him.

10:25

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of offering
<06213> (8800)

the burnt offering
<05930>_,

that Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the guard
<07323> (8801)

and to the captains
<07991>_,

Go in
<0935> (8798)_,

[and] slay
<05221> (8685)

them; let none
<0376>

come forth
<03318> (8799)_.

And they smote
<05221> (8686)

them with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and the guard
<07323> (8801)

and the captains
<07991>

cast [them] out
<07993> (8686)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to the city
<05892>

of the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_.

{the edge: Heb. the mouth}

10:26

And they brought forth
<03318> (8686)

the images
<04676>

out of the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

them. {images: Heb. statues}

10:27

And they brake down
<05422> (8799)

the image
<04676>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and brake down
<05422> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and made
<07760> (8799)

it a draught house
<04163> (8675) <04280>

unto this day
<03117>_.

10:28

Thus Jehu
<03058>

destroyed
<08045> (8686)

Baal
<01168>

out of Israel
<03478>_.

10:29

Howbeit [from] the sins
<02399>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

Jehu
<03058>

departed
<05493> (8804)

not from after
<0310>

them, [to wit], the golden
<02091>

calves
<05695>

that [were] in Bethel
<01008>_,

and that [were] in Dan
<01835>_.

10:30

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jehu
<03058>_,

Because thou hast done well
<02895> (8689)

in executing
<06213> (8800)

[that which is] right
<03477>

in mine eyes
<05869>_,

[and] hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

according to all that [was] in mine heart
<03824>_,

thy children
<01121>

of the fourth
<07243>

[generation] shall sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_.

10:31

But Jehu
<03058>

took no heed
<08104> (8804)

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

with all his heart
<03824>_:

for he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

which made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

{took...: Heb. observed not}

10:32

In those days
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

began
<02490> (8689)

to cut
<07096> (0)

Israel
<03478>

short
<07096> (8763)_:

and Hazael
<02371>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them in all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_;

{to cut: Heb. to cut off the ends}

10:33

From Jordan
<03383>

eastward
<04217> <08121>_,

all the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

the Gadites
<01425>_,

and the Reubenites
<07206>_,

and the Manassites
<04520>_,

from Aroer
<06177>_,

which [is] by the river
<05158>

Arnon
<0769>_,

even Gilead
<01568>

and Bashan
<01316>_.

{eastward: Heb. toward the rising of the sun} {even...: or, even to Gilead and Bashan}

10:34

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and all his might
<01369>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

10:35

And Jehu
<03058>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in Samaria
<08111>_.

And Jehoahaz
<03059>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

10:36

And the time
<03117>

that Jehu
<03058>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>

[was] twenty
<06242>

and eight
<08083>

years
<08141>_.

{the time: Heb. the days were}
