1 And Ahab H256 had seventy H7657 ONUM sons H1121 NMP in Samaria H8111 . And Jehu H3058 wrote H3789 letters H5612 , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to Samaria H8111 , unto H413 PREP the rulers H8269 CMP of Jezreel H3157 , to the elders H2205 , and to H413 PREP them that brought up H539 Ahab H256 \'s children , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Now H6258 W-ADV as soon as this H2088 D-PMS letter H5612 cometh H935 to H413 you , seeing your master H113 \'s sons H1121 are with H854 you , and there are with H854 you chariots H7393 and horses H5483 , a fenced H4013 city H5892 also , and armor H5402 ;
3 Look even out H7200 the best H2896 D-NMS and meetest H3477 of your master\'s sons H1121 , and set H7760 him on H5921 PREP his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s throne H3678 , and fight H3898 for H5921 PREP your master H113 \'s house H1004 CMS .
4 But they were exceedingly H3966 ADV afraid H3372 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , Behold H2009 IJEC , two H8147 ONUM kings H4428 stood H5975 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him : how H349 W-IJEC then shall we H587 PPRO-1MP stand H5975 ?
5 And he that H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the house H1004 D-NMS , and he that H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , the elders H2205 also , and the bringers up H539 of the children , sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Jehu H3058 , saying H559 L-VQFC , We H587 PPRO-1MP are thy servants H5650 , and will do H6213 all H3605 W-CMS that H834 RPRO thou shalt bid H559 us ; we will not H3808 ADV make any king H4427 : do H6213 thou that which is good H2896 D-NMS in thine eyes H5869 .
6 Then he wrote H3789 a letter H5612 CMS the second time H8145 CFS to H413 PREP-3MP them , saying H559 L-VQFC , If H518 PART ye H859 PPRO-2MS be mine , and if ye H859 PPRO-2MS will hearken H8085 unto my voice H6963 , take H3947 ye the heads H7218 CMP of the men H376 NMS your master H113 \'s sons H1121 , and come H935 W-VQI2MP to H413 PREP-1MS me to Jezreel H3157 by tomorrow H4279 NMS this time H6256 KD-NMS . Now the king H4428 D-NMS \'s sons H1121 W-CMP , being seventy H7657 ONUM persons H376 NMS , were with H854 PREP the great men H1419 of the city H5892 D-GFS , which brought them up H1431 .
7 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when the letter H5612 came H935 to H413 PREP-3MP them , that they took H3947 W-VQY3MP the king H4428 D-NMS \'s sons H1121 , and slew H7819 seventy H7657 ONUM persons H376 NMS , and put H7760 W-VQY3MP their heads H7218 in baskets H1731 , and sent H7971 him them to Jezreel H3157 .
8 And there came H935 W-VQY3MS a messenger H4397 , and told H5046 him , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , They have brought H935 the heads H7218 CMP of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s sons H1121 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Lay H7760 ye them in two H8147 ONUM heaps H6652 at the entering in H6607 CMS of the gate H8179 until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 .
9 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 , that he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS , and stood H5975 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , Ye H859 PPRO-2MS be righteous H6662 : behold H2009 IJEC , I H589 PPRO-1MS conspired H7194 against H5921 PREP my master H113 , and slew H2026 him : but who H4310 W-IPRO slew H5221 all H3605 NMS these H428 DPRO ?
10 Know H3045 now H645 CONJ that H3588 CONJ there shall fall H5307 VQY3MS unto the earth H776 NFS-3FS nothing H3808 NADV of the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Ahab H256 : for the LORD H3068 W-EDS hath done H6213 VQQ3MS that which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS by H3027 B-CFS his servant H5650 Elijah H452 .
11 So Jehu H3058 slew H5221 W-VHY3MS all H3605 NMS that remained H7604 of the house H1004 of Ahab H256 in Jezreel H3157 , and all H3605 NMS his great men H1419 , and his kinsfolk H3045 , and his priests H3548 , until H5704 PREP he left H7604 him none H1115 PREP remaining H8300 .
12 And he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS and departed H935 W-VQY3MS , and came H1980 W-VQY3MS to Samaria H8111 . And as he H1931 PPRO-3MS was at the shearing house H1044 in the way H1870 ,
13 Jehu H3058 met H4672 VQPMS with the brethren H251 of Ahaziah H274 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO are ye H859 PPRO-2MS ? And they answered H559 W-VQY3MS , We H587 PPRO-1MP are the brethren H251 of Ahaziah H274 ; and we go down H3381 to salute H7965 the children H1121 of the king H4428 NMS and the children H1121 W-CMP of the queen H1377 .
14 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Take H8610 them alive H2416 NMP . And they took H8610 them alive H2416 NMP , and slew H7819 them at H413 PREP the pit H953 of the shearing house H1044 , even two H8147 and forty H705 MMP men H376 NMS ; neither H3808 W-NPAR left H7604 he any H376 NMS of H4480 them .
15 And when he was departed H1980 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV , he lighted on W-VQY3MS Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7122 him : and he saluted H1288 him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , Is I-ADV thine heart H3824 right H3477 AMS , as H834 K-RPRO my heart H3824 CMS-1MS is with H5973 PREP thy heart H3824 ? And Jehonadab H3082 answered H559 W-VQY3MS , It is H3426 I-ADV . If it be H3426 PART , give H5414 me thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS . And he gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS him his hand H3027 CFS-3MS ; and he took him up H5927 to H413 PREP-3MS him into H413 PREP the chariot H4818 .
16 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Come H1980 VQI2MS-3FS with H854 PREP-1MS me , and see H7200 W-VQI2MS my zeal H7068 for the LORD H3068 L-EDS . So they made him ride H7392 in his chariot H7393 .
17 And when he came H935 W-VQY3MS to Samaria H8111 , he slew H5221 W-VHY3MS all H3605 NMS that remained H7604 unto Ahab H256 in Samaria H8111 , till H5704 PREP he had destroyed H8045 VHFA-3MS him , according to the saying H1697 K-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS to H413 PREP Elijah H452 .
18 And Jehu H3058 gathered H6908 all H3605 NMS the people H5971 together , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Ahab H256 served H5647 Baal H1168 a little H4592 ; but Jehu H3058 shall serve H5647 him much H7235 .
19 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore call H7121 unto H413 PREP-1MS me all H3605 NMS the prophets H5030 of Baal H1168 , all H3605 NMS his servants H5647 , and all H3605 NMS his priests H3548 ; let none H376 NMS be wanting H6485 : for H3588 CONJ I have a great H1419 AMS sacrifice H2077 NMS to do to Baal H1168 ; whosoever H3605 NMS shall be wanting H6485 , he shall not H3808 NADV live H2421 . But Jehu H3058 did H6213 VQQ3MS it in subtlety H6122 , to the intent H4616 L-CONJ that he might destroy H6 the worshipers H5647 of Baal H1168 .
20 And Jehu H3058 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Proclaim H6942 a solemn assembly H6116 for Baal H1168 . And they proclaimed H7121 it .
21 And Jehu H3058 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS through all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 : and all H3605 NMS the worshipers H5647 of Baal H1168 came H935 W-VQY3MP , so that there was not H3808 ADV a man H376 NMS left H7604 VNQ3MS that H834 RPRO came H935 not H3808 ADV . And they came H935 W-VQY3MP into the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 ; and the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 was full H4390 from one end H6310 to another H6310 .
22 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him that H834 was over H5921 PREP the vestry H4458 , Bring forth H3318 vestments H3830 NMS for all H3605 the worshipers H5647 of Baal H1168 . And he brought them forth H3318 W-VHY3MS vestments H4403 .
23 And Jehu H3058 went H935 W-VQY3MS , and Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 , into the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the worshipers H5647 of Baal H1168 , Search H2664 , and look H7200 that H6435 CONJ there be H3426 ADV here H6311 ADV with H5973 PREP-3MP you none of the servants H5650 of the LORD H3068 EDS , but H518 PART the worshipers H5647 of Baal H1168 only H905 .
24 And when they went in H935 W-VQY3MP to offer H6213 L-VQFC sacrifices H2077 and burnt offerings H5930 , Jehu H3058 appointed H7760 VQQ3MS fourscore H8084 men H376 NMS without H2351 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , If any H376 D-NMS of H4480 PREP the men H376 NMS whom H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS have brought H935 VHPMS into H5921 PREP your hands H3027 escape H4422 , he that letteth him go , his life H5315 NMS-3MS shall be for H8478 NMS the life H5315 CFS-3MS of him .
25 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , as soon as he had made an end H3615 of offering H6213 L-VQFC the burnt offering H5930 , that Jehu H3058 said H559 W-VQY3MS to the guard H7323 and to the captains H7991 , Go in H935 , and slay H5221 them ; let none H376 NMS come forth H3318 VQY3MS . And they smote H5221 them with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 NFS ; and the guard H7323 and the captains H7991 cast them out H7993 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MP to H5704 PREP the city H5892 GFS of the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 .
26 And they brought forth the images H4676 out of the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 , and burned H8313 them .
27 And they broke down H5422 the image H4676 of Baal H1168 , and broke down H5422 the house H1004 CMS of Baal H1168 , and made H7760 it a draught house H4163 unto H5704 PREP this day H3117 D-NMS .
28 Thus Jehu H3058 destroyed H8045 Baal H1168 out of Israel H3478 .
29 Howbeit H7535 ADV from the sins H2399 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 , who H834 RPRO made Israel H3478 to sin H2398 , Jehu H3058 departed H5493 not H3808 ADV from after H310 them , to wit , the golden H2091 calves H5695 that H834 RPRO were in Bethel H1008 LFS , and that H834 RPRO were in Dan H1835 .
30 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jehu H3058 , Because H3282 ADV thou hast done well H2895 in executing H6213 L-VQFC that which is right H3477 in mine eyes H5869 , and hast done H6213 VQQ2MS unto the house H1004 of Ahab H256 according to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO was in mine heart H3824 , thy children H1121 of the fourth H7243 generation shall sit H3427 VQY3MP on H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 LMS .
31 But Jehu H3058 took no heed H8104 to walk H1980 L-VQFC in the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 of Israel H3478 with all H3605 B-CMS his heart H3824 : for he departed H5493 not H3808 NADV from M-PREP the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 , which H834 RPRO made Israel H3478 LMS to sin H2398 .
32 In those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP the LORD H3068 EDS began H2490 VHQ3MS to cut Israel short H7096 : and Hazael H2371 smote H5221 W-VHY3MS-3MP them in all H3605 B-CMS the coasts H1366 CMS of Israel H3478 ;
33 From H4480 PREP Jordan H3383 D-EFS eastward H4217 , all H3605 NMS the land H776 GFS of Gilead H1568 , the Gadites H1425 , and the Reubenites H7206 , and the Manassites H4520 , from Aroer H6177 , which H834 RPRO is by H5921 PREP the river H5158 NMS Arnon H769 , even Gilead H1568 and Bashan H1316 .
34 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 CMP of Jehu H3058 , and all H3605 W-CMS that H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS his might H1369 , are they H1992 PPRO-3MP not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of the chronicles H1697 CMP of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 LMS ?
35 And Jehu H3058 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 : and they buried H6912 him in Samaria H8111 . And Jehoahaz H3059 his son H1121 CMS-3MS reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
36 And the time H3117 that H834 RPRO Jehu H3058 reigned H4427 over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 in Samaria H8111 was twenty H6242 and eight H8083 years H8141 NFS .
