Now Elisha
the prophet
called
one
of the sons
of the prophets
and said
to him, "Gird
up your loins,
and take
this
flask
of oil
in your hand
and go
to Ramoth-gilead.
2
"When you arrive
there,
search
out Jehu
the son
of Jehoshaphat
the son
of Nimshi,
and go
in and bid him arise
from among
his brothers,
and bring
him to an inner
room.
3
"Then take
the flask
of oil
and pour
it on his head
and say,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"I have anointed
you king
over
Israel."'
Then open
the door
and flee
and do not wait."
4
So the young
man, the servant
of the prophet,
went
to Ramoth-gilead.
5
When he came,
behold,
the captains
of the army
were sitting,
and he
said,
"I have a word
for you, O captain."
And Jehu
said,
"For which
one of us?" And he
said,
"For you, O captain."
6
He arose
and went
into the house,
and he poured
the oil
on his head
and said
to him, "Thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
'
I have anointed
you king
over
the people
of
the LORD,
even
over
Israel.
7
'
You shall strike
the house
of Ahab
your master,
that I may avenge
the blood
of My servants
the prophets,
and
the blood
of all
the servants
of the LORD,
at the hand
of Jezebel.
8
'
For the whole
house
of Ahab
shall perish,
and I will cut off
from Ahab
every male
person both bond
and free
in Israel.
9
'
I will make
the house
of Ahab
like
the house
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
and
like
the house
of Baasha
the son
of Ahijah.
10
The dogs
shall eat
Jezebel
in the territory
of Jezreel,
and none
shall bury
her.'" Then he opened
the door
and fled.
11
Now Jehu
came
out to the servants
of his master,
and one said
to him, "Is all well?
Why
did this
mad fellow
come
to you?" And he said
to them, "You know
very well the man
and his talk."
12
They said,
"It is a lie,
tell
us now."
And
he said
,
"Thus and thus
he said
to me, 'Thus
says
the LORD,
"I have anointed
you king
over
Israel."'"
13
Then they hurried
and each man
took
his garment
and placed
it under
him on the bare
steps,
and blew
the trumpet,
saying,
"Jehu
is king!"
14
So Jehu
the son
of Jehoshaphat
the son
of Nimshi
conspired
against
Joram.
Now Joram
with all
Israel
was defending
Ramoth-gilead
against
Hazael
king
of Aram,
15
but King
Joram
had returned
to Jezreel
to be healed
of the wounds
which
the Arameans
had inflicted
on him when he fought
with Hazael
king
of Aram.
So Jehu
said,
"If
this is your mind,
then let no
one escape
or leave
the city
to go
tell
it in Jezreel."
16
Then Jehu
rode in a chariot
and went
to Jezreel,
for Joram
was lying
there.
Ahaziah
king
of Judah
had come down
to see
Joram.
17
Now the watchman
was standing
on the tower
in Jezreel
and he saw
the company
of Jehu
as he came,
and
said,
"I see
a company."
And Joram
said,
"Take
a horseman
and send
him to meet
them and let him say,
'Is it peace?'"
18
So a horseman
went
to meet
him and
said,
"Thus
says
the king,
'Is it peace?'"
And Jehu
said,
"What
have you to do with peace?
Turn
behind
me." And the watchman
reported,
"The messenger
came
to them, but he did not return."
19
Then he sent
out a second
horseman,
who came
to them and said,
"Thus
says
the king,
'Is it peace?'"
And Jehu
answered,
"What
have you to do with peace?
Turn
behind
me."
20
The watchman
reported,
"He came
even
to them, and he did not return;
and the driving
is like the driving
of Jehu
the son
of Nimshi,
for he drives
furiously."
21
Then
Joram
said,
"Get
ready.
" And they made
his chariot
ready.
Joram
king
of Israel
and Ahaziah
king
of Judah
went
out, each
in
his chariot
,
and they
went
out to meet
Jehu
and found
him in the property
of Naboth
the Jezreelite.
22
When Joram
saw
Jehu,
he said,
"Is it
peace,
Jehu?"
And he answered,
"What
peace,
so long
as the harlotries
of your mother
Jezebel
and her witchcrafts
are so many?"
23
So Joram
reined
about
and fled
and said
to Ahaziah,
"There is treachery,
O Ahaziah!"
24
And Jehu
drew
his bow
with his full
strength
and shot
Joram
between
his arms;
and the arrow
went through
his heart
and he sank
in his chariot.
25
Then Jehu said
to Bidkar
his officer,
"Take
him up and cast
him into the property
of the field
of Naboth
the Jezreelite,
for I remember
when you and I were riding
together
after
Ahab
his father,
that the LORD
laid
this
oracle
against
him:
26
'
Surely
I have seen
yesterday
the blood
of Naboth
and
the blood
of his sons,'
says
the LORD,
'
and I will repay
you in this
property,'
says
the LORD.
Now
then, take
and cast
him into the property,
according to the word
of
the LORD.
"
27
When Ahaziah
the king
of Judah
saw
this, he fled
by the way
of the garden
house.
And Jehu
pursued
him and said,
"Shoot
him too,
in the chariot."
So they shot him at the ascent
of Gur,
which
is at Ibleam.
But he fled
to Megiddo
and died
there.
28
Then his servants
carried him in a chariot
to Jerusalem
and buried
him in his grave
with his fathers
in the city
of David.
29
Now in the eleventh
year
of Joram,
the son
of Ahab,
Ahaziah
became king
over
Judah.
30
When Jehu
came
to Jezreel,
Jezebel
heard
of it, and she painted
her eyes
and adorned
her head
and looked
out the window.
31
As Jehu
entered
the gate,
she said,
"Is it well,
Zimri,
your master's
murderer?"
32
Then he lifted
up his face
to the window
and said,
"Who
is on my side?
Who?"
And two
or three
officials
looked down
at him.
33
He said,
"Throw
her down." So they threw her down,
and some
of her blood
was sprinkled
on the wall
and on the horses,
and he trampled
her under foot.
34
When he came
in, he ate
and drank;
and he said,
"See
now
to this
cursed woman
and bury
her, for she is a king's
daughter."
35
They went
to bury
her, but they found
nothing
more
of her than
the skull
and the feet
and the palms
of her hands.
36
Therefore they returned
and told
him. And he said,
"This
is the word
of the LORD,
which
He spoke
by His servant
Elijah
the Tishbite,
saying,
'
In the property
of Jezreel
the dogs
shall eat
the flesh
of Jezebel;
37
and the corpse
of Jezebel
will be as dung
on the face
of the field
in the property
of Jezreel,
so
they cannot
say,
"This
is Jezebel."'"
