|
|
15. but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.

And Jehu H3058 said H559 , If H518 it be H3426 your minds H5315 , then let none H408 go forth H3318 nor escape H6412 out of H4480 the city H5892 to go H1980 to tell H5046 it in Jezreel H3157 .
|
|

|
17. And there stood H5975 a watchman H6822 on H5921 the tower H4026 in Jezreel H3157 , and he spied H7200 H853 the company H8229 of Jehu H3058 as he came H935 , and said H559 , I H589 see H7200 a company H8229 . And Joram H3088 said H559 , Take H3947 a horseman H7395 , and send H7971 to meet H7122 them , and let him say H559 , Is it peace H7965 ?
|
|
18. So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me. The watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back.
|
18. So there went H1980 one on horseback H7392 H5483 to meet H7122 him , and said H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the king H4428 , Is it peace H7965 ? And Jehu H3058 said H559 , What H4100 hast thou to do with peace H7965 ? turn H5437 thee behind H413 H310 me . And the watchman H6822 told H5046 , saying H559 , The messenger H4397 came H935 to H5704 them H1992 , but he cometh not again H7725 H3808 .
|
|
19. Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me.
|
19. Then he sent out H7971 a second H8145 on horseback H7392 H5483 , which came H935 to H413 them , and said H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the king H4428 , Is it peace H7965 ? And Jehu H3058 answered H559 , What H4100 hast thou to do with peace H7965 ? turn H5437 thee behind H413 H310 me.
|
|
20. The watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and isn't coming back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
|
20. And the watchman H6822 told H5046 , saying H559 , He came H935 even H5704 unto H413 them , and cometh not again H7725 H3808 : and the driving H4491 is like the driving H4491 of Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250 ; for H3588 he driveth H5090 furiously H7697 .
|
|
21. Joram said, Make ready. They made ready his chariot. 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 portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
|
21. And Joram H3088 said H559 , Make ready H631 . And his chariot H7393 was made ready H631 . And Joram H3088 king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Ahaziah H274 king H4428 of Judah H3063 went out H3318 , each H376 in his chariot H7393 , and they went out H3318 against H7122 Jehu H3058 , and met H4672 him in the portion H2513 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158 .
|
|
22. It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? He answered, What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?
|
22. And it came to pass H1961 , when Joram H3088 saw H7200 H853 Jehu H3058 , that he said H559 , Is it peace H7965 , Jehu H3058 ? And he answered H559 , What H4100 peace H7965 , so long as H5704 the whoredoms H2183 of thy mother H517 Jezebel H348 and her witchcrafts H3785 are so many H7227 ?
|
|
23. Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, Ahaziah.
|
23. And Joram H3088 turned H2015 his hands H3027 , and fled H5127 , and said H559 to H413 Ahaziah H274 , There is treachery H4820 , O Ahaziah H274 .
|
|
24. Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
|
24. And Jehu H3058 drew a bow H7198 with his full H4390 strength H3027 , and smote H5221 H853 Jehoram H3088 between H996 his arms H2220 , and the arrow H2678 went out H3318 at his heart H4480 H3820 , and he sunk down H3766 in his chariot H7393 .
|
|
25. Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and you rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:
|
25. Then said H559 Jehu to H413 Bidkar H920 his captain H7991 , Take up H5375 , and cast H7993 him in the portion H2513 of the field H7704 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158 : for H3588 remember H2142 how that , when I H589 and thou H859 H853 rode H7392 together H6776 after H310 Ahab H256 his father H1 , the LORD H3068 laid H5375 H853 this H2088 burden H4853 upon H5921 him;
|
|
26. Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says Yahweh; and I will requite you in this plat, says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of Yahweh.
|
26. Surely H518 H3808 I have seen H7200 yesterday H570 H853 the blood H1818 of Naboth H5022 , and the blood H1818 of his sons H1121 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and I will requite H7999 thee in this H2063 plat H2513 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 . Now H6258 therefore take H5375 and cast H7993 him into the plat H2513 of ground , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
27. But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: and they struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.
|
27. But when Ahaziah H274 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 saw H7200 this , he fled H5127 by the way H1870 of the garden H1588 house H1004 . And Jehu H3058 followed H7291 after H310 him , and said H559 , Smite H5221 him also H1571 in H413 the chariot H4818 . And they did so at the going up H4608 to Gur H1483 , which H834 is by H854 Ibleam H2991 . And he fled H5127 to Megiddo H4023 , and died H4191 there H8033 .

|
30. And when Jehu H3058 was come H935 to Jezreel H3157 , Jezebel H348 heard H8085 of it ; and she painted H7760 H6320 her face H5869 , and tired H3190 H853 her head H7218 , and looked out H8259 at H1157 a window H2474 .
|
|
31. As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, you Zimri, your master's murderer?
|
31. And as Jehu H3058 entered in H935 at the gate H8179 , she said H559 , Had Zimri H2174 peace H7965 , who slew H2026 his master H113 ?
|
|
32. He lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? There looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
|
32. And he lifted up H5375 his face H6440 to H413 the window H2474 , and said H559 , Who H4310 is on my side H854 ? who H4310 ? And there looked out H8259 to H413 him two H8147 or three H7969 eunuchs H5631 .
|
|
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 trod her under foot.

33. And he said H559 , Throw her down H8058 . So they threw her down H8058 : and some of her blood H4480 H1818 was sprinkled H5137 on H413 the wall H7023 , and on H413 the horses H5483 : and he trod her under foot H7429 .
|
|
34. When he was come in, he ate and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
|
34. And when he was come in H935 , he did eat H398 and drink H8354 , and said H559 , Go, see H6485 now H4994 H853 this H2063 cursed H779 woman , and bury H6912 her: for H3588 she H1931 is a king H4428 's daughter H1323 .
|
|
35. They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
|
35. And they went H1980 to bury H6912 her : but they found H4672 no more H3808 of her than H3588 H518 the skull H1538 , and the feet H7272 , and the palms H3709 of her hands H3027 .
|
|
36. Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, This is the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
|
36. Wherefore they came again H7725 , and told H5046 him . And he said H559 , This H1931 is the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he spoke H1696 by H3027 his servant H5650 Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664 , saying H559 , In the portion H2506 of Jezreel H3157 shall dogs H3611 eat H398 H853 the flesh H1320 of Jezebel H348 :
|
|
37. and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
|
37. And the carcass H5038 of Jezebel H348 shall be H1961 as dung H1828 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the field H7704 in the portion H2506 of Jezreel H3157 ; so that H834 they shall not H3808 say H559 , This H2063 is Jezebel H348 .
