Dual Panel1And 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>_:
2And 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}
3Then 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.
4So the young man <05288>_, [even] the young man <05288> the prophet <05030>_, went <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>_.
5And 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>_.
6And 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>_.
7And 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>_.
8For 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>_:
9And 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>_:
10And 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)_.
11Then 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>_.
12And 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>_.
13Then 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}
14So 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>_.
15But 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}
16So 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>_.
17And 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>_?
18So 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)_.
19Then 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.
20And 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}
21And 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}
22And 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>_?
23And 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>_.
24And 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}
25Then 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;
26Surely 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}
27But 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.
28And 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>_.
29And 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>_.
30And 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}
31And 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>_?
32And 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}
33And 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)_.
34And 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>_.
35And 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>_.
36Wherefore 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}
37And 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>_.
