1
Now Ahab
had seventy
sons
in Samaria.
And Jehu
wrote
letters
and sent
them to Samaria,
to the rulers
of Jezreel,
the elders,
and to the guardians
of the children of Ahab,
saying,
2
"Now,
when this
letter
comes
to you, since your master's
sons
are with you, as well as the chariots
and horses
and a fortified
city
and the weapons,
3
select
the best
and fittest
of your master's
sons,
and set
him on his father's
throne,
and fight
for your master's
house."
4
But they feared
greatly
and said,
"Behold,
the two
kings
did not stand
before
him; how
then can we stand?"
5
And the one who
was over
the household,
and he who
was over
the city,
the elders,
and the guardians
of the children, sent
word to Jehu,
saying,
"We are your servants,
all
that you say
to us we will
do
,
we will not make
any man
king;
do
what is good
in your sight."
6
Then he wrote
a letter
to them a second time
saying,
"If
you are on my side, and you will listen
to my voice,
take
the heads
of the men,
your master's
sons,
and come
to me at Jezreel
tomorrow
about this time."
Now the king's
sons,
seventy
persons,
were with the great men
of the city,
who were rearing
them.
7
When the letter
came
to them, they took
the king's
sons
and slaughtered
them, seventy
persons,
and put
their heads
in baskets,
and sent
them to him at Jezreel.
8
When the messenger
came
and told
him, saying,
"They have brought
the heads
of the king's
sons,"
he said,
"Put
them in two
heaps
at the entrance
of the gate
until
morning."
9
Now in the morning
he went
out and stood
and said
to
all
the people,
"You are innocent;
behold,
I conspired
against
my master
and
killed
him, but who
killed
all
these?
10
"Know
then
that there shall fall
to the earth
nothing
of the word
of
the LORD
,
which
the LORD
spoke
concerning
the house
of Ahab,
for
the LORD
has done
what
He
spoke
through
His servant
Elijah."
11
So Jehu
killed
all
who remained
of the house
of Ahab
in Jezreel,
and
all
his great men
and his acquaintances
and his priests,
until
he left
him without
a survivor.
12
Then he arose
and departed
and went
to Samaria.
On the way
while he was at Beth-eked
of the shepherds,
13
Jehu
met
the relatives
of Ahaziah
king
of Judah
and said,
"Who
are you?" And they answered,
"We are
the relatives
of Ahaziah
;
and we have come down
to greet
the sons
of the
king
and
the sons
of the queen mother."
14
He said,
"Take
them alive
."
So they took
them alive
and killed
them at the pit
of Beth-eked,
forty-two
men;
and he left
none
of them.
15
Now when he had departed
from there,
he met
Jehonadab
the son
of Rechab
coming to meet
him; and he greeted
him and said
to him, "Is your heart
right,
as my heart
is with your heart?"
And
Jehonadab
answered,
"It is." Jehu said, "If it is, give
me your hand."
And he gave
him his hand,
and he took
him up to him into the chariot.
16
He said,
"Come
with me and see
my zeal
for the LORD."
So he made him ride
in his chariot.
17
When he came
to Samaria,
he killed
all
who remained
to Ahab
in Samaria,
until
he had destroyed
him, according to the word
of the LORD
which
He spoke
to Elijah.
18
Then
Jehu
gathered
all
the people
and said
to them, "Ahab
served
Baal
a little;
Jehu
will serve
him much.
19
"Now,
summon
all
the prophets
of Baal,
all
his worshipers
and
all
his priests;
let no
one
be missing,
for I have a great
sacrifice
for Baal;
whoever
is missing
shall not live."
But Jehu
did
it in cunning,
so
that he might destroy
the worshipers
of Baal.
20
And Jehu
said,
"Sanctify
a solemn assembly
for Baal."
And they proclaimed
it.
21
Then Jehu
sent
throughout
Israel
and all
the worshipers
of Baal
came,
so that there was not a man
left
who
did not come.
And when they went
into
the house
of Baal
,
the house
of Baal
was filled
from one
end to the other.
22
He said
to the one who
was in charge
of the wardrobe,
"Bring
out garments
for all
the worshipers
of Baal."
So he brought
out garments
for them.
23
Jehu
went
into the house
of Baal
with Jehonadab
the son
of Rechab;
and he said
to
the worshipers
of Baal
,
"Search
and see
that there
is here
with you none
of the servants
of the LORD,
but only
the worshipers
of Baal
."
24
Then they went
in to offer
sacrifices
and burnt offerings.
Now Jehu
had stationed
for himself eighty
men
outside,
and he had said,
"The one
who
permits any
of the
men
whom
I bring
into your hands
to escape
shall give up his life
in exchange."
25
Then it came
about, as soon as he had finished
offering
the burnt
offering
,
that Jehu
said
to the guard
and to the royal
officers,
"Go
in, kill
them; let none
come
out." And they killed
them with the edge
of the sword;
and the guard
and the royal officers
threw
them out, and went
to the inner room
of the house
of Baal.
26
They brought
out the sacred pillars
of the house
of Baal
and burned
them.
27
They also broke
down
the sacred pillar
of Baal
and broke
down
the house
of Baal
,
and made
it a latrine
to this day.
28
Thus Jehu
eradicated
Baal
out of Israel.
29
However,
as for the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
which
he made Israel
sin,
from these Jehu
did not depart,
even the golden
calves
that were at Bethel
and that were at Dan.
30
The LORD
said
to Jehu,
"Because
you have done well
in executing
what is right
in My eyes,
and have done
to the house
of Ahab
according to all
that was in My heart,
your sons
of the fourth
generation shall sit
on the throne
of Israel."
31
But Jehu
was not careful
to walk
in the law
of the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
with all
his heart;
he did not depart
from the sins
of Jeroboam,
which
he made Israel
sin.
32
In those
days
the LORD
began
to cut off
portions from Israel;
and Hazael
defeated
them throughout
the territory
of Israel:
33
from the Jordan
eastward,
all
the land
of Gilead,
the Gadites
and the Reubenites
and the Manassites,
from Aroer,
which
is by the v
all
ey
of the Arnon,
even Gilead
and Bashan.
34
Now the rest
of the acts
of Jehu
and all
that he did
and all
his might,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
35
And Jehu
slept
with his fathers,
and they buried
him in Samaria.
And Jehoahaz
his son
became king
in his place.
36
Now the time
which
Jehu
reigned
over
Israel
in Samaria
was twenty-eight
years.
