6: And he arose,H6965 and went intoH0935 the house-H1004 and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 onH0413 his head,H7218 and saidH0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 I have anointed youH4886 kingH4428 overH0413 the peopleH5971 of Yahweh,H3068 overH0413 Israel.H3478

7: And You shall strike downH5221 -H0853 the houseH1004 of AhabH0256 your master,H0113 that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of My servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 and the bloodH1818 of allH3605 the servantsH5650 of Yahweh,H3068 at the handH3027 of Jezebel.H0348

8: For shall perish,H0006 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of AhabH0256 and I will cut offH3772 from AhabH0256 all the malesH8366 wall,H7023 and both bondH6113 and freeH5800 in Israel.H3478

10: AndH0853 JezebelH0348 shall eatH0398 the dogsH3611 on the plot [of ground] atH2506 Jezreel,H3157 and [there shall be] noneH0369 to bury [her]H6912 and he openedH6605 the door,H1817 and fled.H5127

11: And JehuH3058 came outH3318 toH0413 the servantsH5650 of his master,H0113 and [one] saidH0559 [Is] all well?H7965 whyH4069 did comeH0935 madmanH7696 thisH2088 to youH0413 and he saidH0559 to themH0413 YouH0859 knowH3045 -H0853 the man,H0376 andH0853 his babble.H7879

12: And they said,H0559 a lie-H8267 TellH5046 now.H4994 so he said,H0559 Like thisH2063 and like thisH2063 he spokeH0559 to meH0413 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 I have anointed youH4886 kingH4428 overH0413 Israel.H3478

14: So conspiredH7194 JehuH3058 sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 againstH0413 Jehoram.H3141 Now JehoramH3141 hadH1961 been defendingH8104 Ramoth Gilead,H7433 GileadH1568 heH1931 and allH3605 Israel,H3478 againstH6440 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria.H0758

15: But had returnedH7725 JehoramH3088 KingH4428 to recoverH7495 to JezreelH3157 fromH4480 the woundsH4347 whichH0834 had inflicted on himH5221 the SyriansH0761 when he foughtH3898 withH0854 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 and said,H0559 JehuH3058 ifH0518 it beH3426 you are so minded,H5315 noH0408 let one leaveH3318 [or] escapeH6412 fromH4480 the cityH5892 to goH1980 and tell [it]H5046 in Jezreel.H3157

16: So rode in a chariot,H7392 JehuH3058 and wentH1980 to Jezreel-H3157 forH3588 JehoramH3141 was laid upH7901 there.H8033 And AhaziahH0274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had come downH3381 to seeH7200 -H0853 Jehoram.H3141

17: Now a watchmanH6822 stoodH5975 onH5921 the towerH4026 in Jezreel,H3157 and he sawH7200 -H0853 the companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he came,H0935 and said,H0559 a company of [men].H8229 IH0589 seeH7200 and said,H0559 JehoramH3088 GetH3947 a horseman,H7395 and send himH7971 to meet themH7125 and let him say,H0559 [is it] peace?H7965

18: so wentH1980 on horsebackH7392 the horsemanH5483 to meet himH7125 and said,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 the king,H4428 [is it] peace?H7965 and said,H0559 JehuH3058 whatH4100 and to do with peace?H7965 Turn aroundH5437 toH0413 and follow meH0310 so reported,H5046 the watchmanH6822 saying,H0559 wentH0935 the messengerH4397 toH5704 them,H1992 but notH3808 is coming back.H7725

19: And he sent outH7971 on horsebackH7392 a horseman,H5483 secondH8145 and who cameH0935 to themH0413 and said,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 the king,H4428 [Is it] peace?H7965 and answered,H0559 JehuH3058 whatH4100 and to do with peace?H7965 Turn aroundH5437 toH0413 and follow me.H0310

20: So reported,H5046 the watchmanH6822 saying,H0559 He went upH0935 evenH5704 to themH0413 and notH3808 is coming back-H7725 and the driving [is]H4491 like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 sonH1121 of Nimshi-H5250 forH3588 furiouslyH7697 he drives.H5090

21: And said,H0559 JehoramH3088 Make ready.H0631 And was made ready.H0631 His chariotH7393 and went out,H3318 JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH0274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 eachH0376 in his chariot,H7393 and they went outH3318 to meetH7125 Jehu,H3058 and met himH4672 on the propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the Jezreelite.H3158

22: And it came to pass,H1961 when sawH7200 JehoramH3088 -H0853 Jehu,H3058 that he said,H0559 [is it] peace,H7965 Jehu?H3058 so he answered,H0559 whatH4100 peace,H7965 as long asH5704 the harlotriesH2183 of JezebelH0348 your motherH0517 and her witchcraft [are]H3785 [so] many?H7227

23: and turnedH2015 JehoramH3088 around,H3027 and fled,H5127 and saidH0559 toH0413 Ahaziah,H0274 Treachery,H4820 Ahaziah.H0274

24: And JehuH3058 drew fullH4390 with his strength,H3027 bowH7198 and shotH5221 -H0853 JehoramH3088 betweenH0996 his arms,H2220 and came outH3318 the arrowH2678 at his heart,H3820 and he sank downH3766 in his chariot.H7393

25: And [Jehu] saidH0559 toH0413 BidkarH0920 his captain,H7991 Pick [him] up,H5375 [and] throw himH7993 into the tractH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the Jezreelite,H3158 forH3588 remember whenH2142 IH0589 and youH0859 -H0853 were ridingH7392 togetherH6776 behindH0310 AhabH0256 his father,H0001 that YahwehH3069 laidH5375 upon himH5921 -H0853 burdenH4853 this.H2088

26: SurelyH0518 notH3808 -H0853 the bloodH1818 of Naboth,H5022 andH0853 the bloodH1818 of his sons',H1121 I sawH7200 yesterdayH0570 saysH5002 Yahweh-H3068 and I will repayH7999 in plot,H2513 thisH2063 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068 Therefore nowH6258 takeH5375 [and] throw himH7993 on the plot [of ground]H2513 according to the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068

27: But when AhaziahH0274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 saw [this]H7200 and he fledH5127 by the road toH1870 house.H1004 Beth HagganH1588 so pursuedH7291 himH0310 JehuH3058 and said,H0559 alsoH1571 himH0853 ShootH5221 inH0413 the chariot.H4818 [And they shot him] at the Ascent ofH4608 Gur,H1483 which isH0834 -H0853 by Ibleam.H2991 And he fledH5127 to Megiddo,H4023 and diedH4191 there.H8033

28: And carried in the chariotH7392 himH0853 his servantsH5650 to Jerusalem,H3389 and buriedH6912 himH0853 in his tombH6900 withH5973 his fathersH0001 in the CityH5892 of David.H1732

29: And inH8141 oneH0259 [and] tenH6240 the yearH8141 of JehoramH3141 sonH1121 of AhabH0256 had become kingH4427 AhaziahH0274 overH5921 Judah.H3063

30: And when had comeH0935 JehuH3058 to Jezreel,H3157 and JezebelH0348 heard [of it]H8085 and she put paintH7760 onH6320 her eyes,H5869 and adornedH3190 -H0853 her head,H7218 and lookedH8259 throughH1157 a window.H2474

31: And as JehuH3058 enteredH0935 at the gate,H8179 and she said,H0559 [is it] peace,H7965 ZimriH2174 murdererH2026 of your master?H0113

32: and he looked upH5375 atH6440 untoH0413 the window,H2474 and said,H0559 who [is]H4310 on my side?H0854 who?H4310 so looked outH8259 at himH0413 twoH8147 [or] threeH7969 eunuchs.H5631

33: And he said,H0559 Throw her downH8058 so they threw her down.H8058 And spattered [some]H5137 of her bloodH1818 onH0413 the wall,H7023 and onH0413 the horses,H5483 and he trampled her underfoot.H7429

34: And when he had gone in,H0935 and he ateH0398 and drank,H8354 and he said,H0559 go see toH6485 nowH4994 -H0853 accursed [woman]H0779 thisH2063 and bury herH6912 forH3588 a daughterH1323 king'sH4428 she [was].H1931

35: So they wentH1980 to bury herH6912 but no moreH3808 they foundH4672 forH3588 thanH0518 the skull,H1538 and the feet,H7272 and the palmsH3709 of [her] hands.H3027

36: Therefore they came back,H7725 and toldH5046 and he said,H0559 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 that [is]H1931 whichH0834 He spokeH1696 byH3027 His servantH5650 ElijahH0452 the Tishbite,H8664 saying,H0559 On the plot [of ground] atH2506 JezreelH3157 shall eatH0398 dogsH3611 -H0853 the fleshH1320 of Jezebel-H0348 and shall beH1961 the corpseH5038 of JezebelH0348 as refuseH1828 onH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the plot atH2506 Jezreel-H3157 so thatH0834 notH3808 they shall say,H0559 this [is]H2063 Jezebel.H0348
