2 Kings 9:30--10:36

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}
