2 Kings 9:14-26

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}

2 Kings 10:6-11

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}
