12_2KI_09_01 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets , And said unto him , gird up thy loins , And take this box of oil in thine hand , And go to Ramothgilead :
12_2KI_09_02 And when thou comest thither , Look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi , And go in , And make him Arise up from among his brethren , And carry him to an inner chamber ;
12_2KI_09_03 Then take the box of oil , And Pour [ it ] on his head , And say , thus saith the LORD , I have anointed thee king over Israel . Then open the door , And flee , And tarry not .
12_2KI_09_04 So the young man , [ even ] the young man the prophet , went to Ramothgilead .
12_2KI_09_05 And when he came , behold , the captains of the host [ were ] sitting ; And he said , I have an errand to thee , O captain . And Jehu said , unto which of all us ? And he said , to thee , O captain .
12_2KI_09_06 And he arose , And went into the house ; And he poured the oil on his head , And said unto him , thus saith the LORD God of Israel , I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD , [ even ] over Israel .
12_2KI_09_07 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy 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 .
12_2KI_09_08 for the whole house of Ahab shall perish : And I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall , And him that Is shut up And left in Israel :
12_2KI_09_09 And 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 :
12_2KI_09_10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel , And [ there shall be ] none to bury [ her ] . And he opened the door , And fled .
12_2KI_09_11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his LORD : And [ one ] said unto him , [ Is ] all Well ? Wherefore came this mad [ fellow ] to thee ? And he said unto them , ye know the man , And his communication .
12_2KI_09_12 And they said , [ it Is ] false ; tell us now . And he said , thus And thus spake he to me , saying , thus saith the LORD , I have anointed thee king over Israel .
12_2KI_09_13 Then they hasted , And took every man his garment , And put [ it ] under him on the top of the stairs , And blew with trumpets , saying , Jehu Is king .
12_2KI_09_14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram . [ now Joram had kept Ramothgilead , he And all Israel , because of Hazael king of Syria .
12_2KI_09_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 . ] And Jehu said , if it be your minds , [ Then ] let none go forth [ nor ] escape out of the city to go to tell [ it ] in Jezreel .
12_2KI_09_16 So Jehu rode in A chariot , And went to Jezreel ; for Joram lay there . And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram .
12_2KI_09_17 And there stood A watchman on the tower in Jezreel , And he spied the company of Jehu as he came , And said , I see A company . And Joram said , take an horseman , And send to meet them , And let him say , [ Is it ] peace ?
12_2KI_09_18 So there went one on horseback to meet him , And said , thus saith the king , [ Is it ] peace ? And Jehu said , what hast thou to do with peace ? turn thee behind me . And the watchman told , saying , the messenger came to them , but he cometh not again .
12_2KI_09_19 Then he sent out A second on horseback , which came to them , And said , thus saith the king , [ Is it ] peace ? And Jehu answered , what hast thou to do with peace ? turn thee behind me .
12_2KI_09_20 And the watchman told , saying , he came even unto them , And cometh not again : And the driving [ Is ] like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi ; for he driveth furiously .
12_2KI_09_21 And Joram said , make ready . And his chariot was made ready . And Joram king of Israel And Ahaziah king of Judah went out , each in his chariot , And they went out against Jehu , And met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite .
12_2KI_09_22 And it came to pass , when Joram saw Jehu , that he said , [ Is it ] peace , Jehu ? And he answered , what peace , So long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel And her witchcrafts [ are So ] Many ?
12_2KI_09_23 And Joram turned his hands , And fled , And said to Ahaziah , [ there Is ] treachery , O Ahaziah .
12_2KI_09_24 And Jehu drew A bow with his full strength , And smote Jehoram between his arms , And the arrow went out at his heart , And he sunk down in his chariot .
12_2KI_09_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 thou rode together after Ahab his Father , the LORD laid this burden upon him ;
12_2KI_09_26 surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth , And the blood of his sons , saith the LORD ; And I will requite thee in this plat , saith the LORD . now therefore take [ And ] cast him into the plat [ of ground ] , according to the word of the LORD .
12_2KI_09_27 but when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [ this ] , he fled by the way of the garden house . And Jehu followed after him , And said , smite him also in the chariot . [ And they did So ] at the going up to Gur , which [ Is ] by Ibleam . And he fled to Megiddo , And died there .
12_2KI_09_28 And his servants carried him in A chariot to Jerusalem , And buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David .
12_2KI_09_29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah .
12_2KI_09_30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel , Jezebel heard [ of it ] ; And she painted her face , And tired her head , And looked out at A window .
12_2KI_09_31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate , she said , [ had ] Zimri peace , who slew his master ?
12_2KI_09_32 And he lifted up his face to the window , And said , who [ Is ] on my side ? who ? And there looked out to him two [ or ] three eunuchs .
12_2KI_09_33 And 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 trode her under foot .
12_2KI_09_34 And when he was come in , he did eat And drink , And said , go , see now this Cursed [ woman ] , And bury her : for she [ Is ] A king's daughter .
12_2KI_09_35 And they went to bury her : but they found no more of her than the skull , And the feet , And the palms of [ her ] hands .
12_2KI_09_36 Wherefore they came again , And told him . And he said , this [ Is ] the word of the LORD , which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite , saying , in the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel :
12_2KI_09_37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel ; [ So ] that they shall not say , this [ Is ] Jezebel .
