1. And Elisha the prophet hath called to one of the sons of the prophets, and saith to him, `Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead,
|
1. And Elisha H477 the prophet H5030 called H7121 one H259 of the children H4480 H1121 of the prophets H5030 , and said H559 unto him , Gird up H2296 thy loins H4975 , and take H3947 this H2088 box H6378 of oil H8081 in thine hand H3027 , and go H1980 to Ramoth H7433 -gilead:
|
|
2. and thou hast gone in there, and see thou there Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and thou hast gone in, and caused him to rise out of the midst of his brethren, and brought him in to the inner part of an inner-chamber,
|
2. And when thou comest H935 thither H8033 , look out H7200 there H8033 Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250 , and go in H935 , and make him arise up H6965 from among H4480 H8432 his brethren H251 , and carry H935 him to an inner H2315 chamber H2315 ;
|
|
3. and taken the vial of oil, and poured on his head, and said, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel; and thou hast opened the door, and fled, and dost not wait.`
|
3. Then take H3947 the box H6378 of oil H8081 , and pour H3332 it on H5921 his head H7218 , and say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , I have anointed H4886 thee king H4428 over H413 Israel H3478 . Then open H6605 the door H1817 , and flee H5127 , and tarry H2442 not H3808 .
|
|
4. And the young man goeth -- the young man the prophet -- to Ramoth-Gilead,
|
4. So the young man H5288 , even the young man H5288 the prophet H5030 , went H1980 to Ramoth H7433 -gilead.
|
|
5. and cometh in, and lo, chiefs of the force are sitting, and he saith, `I have a word unto thee, O chief!` and Jehu saith, `Unto which of all of us?` and he saith, `Unto thee, O chief.`
|
5. And when he came H935 , behold H2009 , the captains H8269 of the host H2428 were sitting H3427 ; and he said H559 , I have an errand H1697 to H413 thee , O captain H8269 . And Jehu H3058 said H559 , Unto H413 which H4310 of all H4480 H3605 us? And he said H559 , To H413 thee , O captain H8269 .
|
|
6. And he riseth and cometh in to the house, and he poureth the oil on his head, and saith to him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have anointed thee for king unto the people of Jehovah, unto Israel,
|
6. And he arose H6965 , and went H935 into the house H1004 ; and he poured H3332 the oil H8081 on H413 his head H7218 , and said H559 unto him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , I have anointed H4886 thee king H4428 over H413 the people H5971 of the LORD H3068 , even over H413 Israel H3478 .
|
|
7. and thou hast smitten the house of Ahab thy lord, and I have required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, from the hand of Jezebel;
|
7. And thou shalt smite H5221 H853 the house H1004 of Ahab H256 thy master H113 , that I may avenge H5358 the blood H1818 of my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 , and the blood H1818 of all H3605 the servants H5650 of the LORD H3068 , at the hand H4480 H3027 of Jezebel H348 .
|
|
8. and perished hath all the house of Ahab, and I have cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
|
8. For the whole H3605 house H1004 of Ahab H256 shall perish H6 : and I will cut off H3772 from Ahab H256 him that pisseth H8366 against the wall H7023 , and him that is shut up H6113 and left H5800 in Israel H3478 :
|
|
9. and I have given up the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of Ahijah,
|
9. And I will make H5414 H853 the house H1004 of Ahab H256 like the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 , and like the house H1004 of Baasha H1201 the son H1121 of Ahijah H281 :
|
|
10. and Jezebel do the dogs eat in the portion of Jezreel, and there is none burying;` and he openeth the door and fleeth.
|
10. And the dogs H3611 shall eat H398 Jezebel H348 in the portion H2506 of Jezreel H3157 , and there shall be none H369 to bury H6912 her . And he opened H6605 the door H1817 , and fled H5127 .
|
|
11. And Jehu hath gone out unto the servants of his lord, and one saith to him, `Is there peace? wherefore came this madman unto thee?` and he saith unto them, `Ye have known the man and his talk.`
|
11. Then Jehu H3058 came forth H3318 to H413 the servants H5650 of his lord H113 : and one said H559 unto him, Is all well H7965 ? wherefore H4069 came H935 this H2088 mad H7696 fellow to H413 thee? And he said H559 unto H413 them, Ye H859 know H3045 the man H376 , and H853 his communication H7879 .
|
|
12. And they say, `False, declare, we pray thee, to us;` and he saith, `Thus and thus spake he unto me, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel.`
|
12. And they said H559 , It is false H8267 ; tell H5046 us now H4994 . And he said H559 , Thus H2063 and thus H2063 spoke H559 he to H413 me, saying H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , I have anointed H4886 thee king H4428 over H413 Israel H3478 .
|
|
13. And they haste and take each his garment, and put it under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a trumpet, and say, `Reigned hath Jehu!`
|
13. Then they hasted H4116 , and took H3947 every man H376 his garment H899 , and put H7760 it under H8478 him on H413 the top H1634 of the stairs H4609 , and blew H8628 with trumpets H7782 , saying H559 , Jehu H3058 is king H4427 .
|
|
14. And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspireth against Joram -- (and Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram,
|
14. So Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250 conspired H7194 against H413 Joram H3141 . (Now Joram H3141 had H1961 kept H8104 Ramoth H7433 -gilead, he H1931 and all H3605 Israel H3478 , because H4480 H6440 of Hazael H2371 king H4428 of Syria H758 .
|
|
15. and king Joram turneth back to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds with which the Aramaeans smite him, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram) -- and Jehu saith, `If it is your mind, let not an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare it in Jezreel.`
|
15. But king H4428 Joram H3088 was returned H7725 to be healed H7495 in Jezreel H3157 of H4480 the wounds H4347 which H834 the Syrians H761 had given H5221 him , when he fought H3898 with H854 Hazael H2371 king H4428 of Syria H758 .) 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 .
|
|
16. And Jehu rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram.
|
16. So Jehu H3058 rode in a chariot H7392 , and went H1980 to Jezreel H3157 ; for H3588 Joram H3141 lay H7901 there H8033 . And Ahaziah H274 king H4428 of Judah H3063 was come down H3381 to see H7200 H853 Joram H3141 .
|
|
17. And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and seeth the company of Jehu in his coming, and saith, `A company I see;` and Joram saith, `Take a rider and send to meet them, and let him say, Is there peace?`
|
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. and the rider on the horse goeth to meet him, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What -- to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.` And the watchman declareth, saying, `The messenger came unto them, and he hath not returned.`
|
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. And he sendeth a second rider on a horse, and he cometh in unto them, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What -- to thee and to peace? turn round 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. And the watchman declareth, saying, `He came unto them, and he hath not returned, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for with madness he driveth.`
|
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. And Jehoram saith, `Harness;` and his chariot is harnessed, and Jehoram king of Israel goeth out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and find 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. And it cometh to pass, at Jehoram`s seeing Jehu, that he saith, `Is there peace, Jehu?` and he saith, `What is the peace, while the whoredoms of Jezebel thy mother, and her witchcrafts, are many?`
|
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. And Jehoram turneth his hands, and fleeth, and saith unto Ahaziah, `Deceit, O 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. And Jehu hath filled his hand with a bow, and smiteth Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth out from his heart, and he boweth 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. And Jehu saith unto Bidkar his captain, `Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite -- for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden:
|
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. Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion -- the affirmation of Jehovah; -- and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.`
|
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. And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith, `Smite him -- also him -- in the chariot,` in the going up to Gur, that is Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth 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 .
|
|
28. and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of David.
|
28. And his servants H5650 carried him in a chariot H7392 H853 to Jerusalem H3389 , and buried H6912 him in his sepulcher H6900 with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732 .
|
|
29. And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did Ahaziah over Judah.
|
29. And in the eleventh H259 H6240 year H8141 of Joram H3141 the son H1121 of Ahab H256 began Ahaziah H274 to reign H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063 .
|
|
30. And Jehu cometh in to Jezreel, and Jezebel hath heard, and putteth her eyes in paint and maketh right her head, and looketh out through the window.
|
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. And Jehu hath come into the gate, and she saith, `Was there peace to Zimri -- slayer of his lord?`
|
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. And he lifteth up his face unto the window, and saith, `Who is with me? -- who?` and look out unto him do 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. And he saith, `Let her go;` and they let her go, and some of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treadeth her down.
|
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. And he cometh in, and eateth, and drinketh, and saith, `Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, 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. And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the 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. And they turn back, and declare to him, and he saith, `The word of Jehovah it is, that He spake by the hand of this servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do 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 carcase of Jezebel hath been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, 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 .
