2 Kings 9:1-28

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>_.
