And AhabH256 had seventyH7657 sonsH1121 in SamariaH8111. And JehuH3058 wroteH3789 lettersH5612, and sentH7971 to SamariaH8111, unto the rulersH8269 of JezreelH3157, to the eldersH2205, and to them that brought upH539 Ahab'sH256 children, sayingH559, {them…: Heb. nourishers}
Now as soon as this letterH5612 comethH935 to you, seeing your master'sH113 sonsH1121 are with you, and there are with you chariotsH7393 and horsesH5483, a fencedH4013 cityH5892 also, and armourH5402;
Look even outH7200 the bestH2896 and meetestH3477 of your master'sH113 sonsH1121, and setH7760 him on his father'sH1 throneH3678, and fightH3898 for your master'sH113 houseH1004.
But they were exceedinglyH3966+H3966 afraidH3372, and saidH559, Behold, twoH8147 kingsH4428 stoodH5975 not beforeH6440 him: how then shall we standH5975?
And he that was over the houseH1004, and he that was over the cityH5892, the eldersH2205 also, and the bringers upH539 of the children, sentH7971 to JehuH3058, sayingH559, We are thy servantsH5650, and will doH6213 all that thou shalt bidH559 us; we will not make anyH376 kingH4427: doH6213 thou that which is goodH2896 in thine eyesH5869.
Then he wroteH3789 a letterH5612 the second timeH8145 to them, sayingH559, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearkenH8085 unto my voiceH6963, takeH3947 ye the headsH7218 of the menH582 your master'sH113 sonsH1121, and comeH935 to me to JezreelH3157 by to morrowH4279 this timeH6256. Now the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, being seventyH7657 personsH376, were with the great menH1419 of the cityH5892, which brought them upH1431. {mine: Heb. for me}
And it came to pass, when the letterH5612 cameH935 to them, that they tookH3947 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and slewH7819 seventyH7657 personsH376, and putH7760 their headsH7218 in basketsH1731, and sentH7971 him them to JezreelH3157.
And there cameH935 a messengerH4397, and toldH5046 him, sayingH559, They have broughtH935 the headsH7218 of the king'sH4428 sonsH1121. And he saidH559, LayH7760 ye them in twoH8147 heapsH6652 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179 until the morningH1242.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that he went outH3318, and stoodH5975, and saidH559 to all the peopleH5971, Ye be righteousH6662: behold, I conspiredH7194 against my masterH113, and slewH2026 him: but who slewH5221 all these?
KnowH3045 nowH645 that there shall fallH5307 unto the earthH776 nothing of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 ElijahH452. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
So JehuH3058 slewH5221 all that remainedH7604 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256 in JezreelH3157, and all his great menH1419, and his kinsfolksH3045, and his priestsH3548, until he leftH7604 him none remainingH8300. {kinsfolks: or, acquaintance}
And he aroseH6965 and departedH935, and cameH3212 to SamariaH8111. And as he was at the shearingH7462 houseH1004+H1044 in the wayH1870, {shearing…: Heb. house of shepherds binding sheep}
JehuH3058 metH4672 with the brethrenH251 of AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and saidH559, Who are ye? And they answeredH559, We are the brethrenH251 of AhaziahH274; and we go downH3381 to saluteH7965 the childrenH1121 of the kingH4428 and the childrenH1121 of the queenH1377. {met with: Heb. found} {to salute…: Heb. to the peace of, etc}
And he saidH559, TakeH8610 them aliveH2416. And they tookH8610 them aliveH2416, and slewH7819 them at the pitH953 of the shearing houseH1044, even twoH8147 and fortyH705 menH376; neither leftH7604 he anyH376 of them.
And when he was departedH3212 thence, he lightedH4672 on JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 coming to meetH7125 him: and he salutedH1288 him, and saidH559 to him, IsH3426 thine heartH3824 rightH3477, as my heartH3824 is with thy heartH3824? And JehonadabH3082 answeredH559, It isH3426. If it be, giveH5414 me thine handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him his handH3027; and he took him upH5927 to him into the chariotH4818. {lighted on: Heb. found} {saluted: Heb. blessed}
And he saidH559, ComeH3212 with me, and seeH7200 my zealH7068 for the LORDH3068. So they made him rideH7392 in his chariotH7393.
And when he cameH935 to SamariaH8111, he slewH5221 all that remainedH7604 unto AhabH256 in SamariaH8111, till he had destroyedH8045 him, according to the sayingH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 to ElijahH452.
And JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 all the peopleH5971 togetherH6908, and saidH559 unto them, AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; but JehuH3058 shall serveH5647 him muchH7235.
Now therefore callH7121 unto me all the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, all his servantsH5647, and all his priestsH3548; let noneH376 be wantingH6485: for I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 to do to BaalH1168; whosoever shall be wantingH6485, he shall not liveH2421. But JehuH3058 didH6213 it in subtiltyH6122, to the intent that he might destroyH6 the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168.
And JehuH3058 saidH559, ProclaimH6942 a solemn assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168. And they proclaimedH7121 it. {Proclaim: Heb. Sanctify}
And JehuH3058 sentH7971 through all IsraelH3478: and all the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a manH376 leftH7604 that cameH935 not. And they cameH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168; and the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was fullH4390 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310. {full…: or, so full that they stood mouth to mouth}
And he saidH559 unto him that was over the vestryH4458, Bring forthH3318 vestmentsH3830 for all the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168. And he brought them forthH3318 vestmentsH4403.
And JehuH3058 wentH935, and JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and saidH559 unto the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168, SearchH2664, and lookH7200 that there beH3426 here with you none of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, but the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168 only.
And when they went inH935 to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burnt offeringsH5930, JehuH3058 appointedH7760 fourscoreH8084 menH376 withoutH2351, and saidH559, If anyH376 of the menH582 whom I have broughtH935 into your handsH3027 escapeH4422, he that letteth him go, his lifeH5315 shall be for the lifeH5315 of him.
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH6213 the burnt offeringH5930, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the guardH7323 and to the captainsH7991, Go inH935, and slayH5221 them; let noneH376 come forthH3318. And they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the guardH7323 and the captainsH7991 cast them outH7993, and wentH3212 to the cityH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168. {the edge: Heb. the mouth}
And they brought forthH3318 the imagesH4676 out of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and burnedH8313 them. {images: Heb. statues}
And they brake downH5422 the imageH4676 of BaalH1168, and brake downH5422 the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and madeH7760 it a draught houseH4163+H4280 unto this dayH3117.
Thus JehuH3058 destroyedH8045 BaalH1168 out of IsraelH3478.
Howbeit from the sinsH2399 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, JehuH3058 departedH5493 not from afterH310 them, to wit, the goldenH2091 calvesH5695 that were in BethelH1008, and that were in DanH1835.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JehuH3058, Because thou hast done wellH2895 in executingH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and hast doneH6213 unto the houseH1004 of AhabH256 according to all that was in mine heartH3824, thy childrenH1121 of the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
But JehuH3058 took no heedH8104 to walkH3212 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with all his heartH3824: for he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. {took…: Heb. observed not}
In those daysH3117 the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to cutH7096 IsraelH3478 shortH7096: and HazaelH2371 smoteH5221 them in all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478; {to cut: Heb. to cut off the ends}
From JordanH3383 eastwardH4217+H8121, all the landH776 of GileadH1568, the GaditesH1425, and the ReubenitesH7206, and the ManassitesH4520, from AroerH6177, which is by the riverH5158 ArnonH769, even GileadH1568 and BashanH1316. {eastward: Heb. toward the rising of the sun} {even…: or, even to Gilead and Bashan}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehuH3058, and all that he didH6213, and all his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And JehuH3058 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and they buriedH6912 him in SamariaH8111. And JehoahazH3059 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the timeH3117 that JehuH3058 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 was twentyH6242 and eightH8083 yearsH8141. {the time: Heb. the days were}

As for such as turn asideH5186 unto their crooked waysH6128, the LORDH3068 shall lead them forthH3212 with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205: but peaceH7965 shall be upon IsraelH3478.
And he slewH2076 all the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that were there upon the altarsH4196, and burnedH8313 men'sH120 bonesH6106 upon them, and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {slew: or, sacrificed}
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 it also, and the kingH4428 thereof, into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300 in it; but didH6213 unto the kingH4428 thereof as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
He that walkethH1980 with wiseH2450 men shall be wiseH2449: but a companionH7462 of foolsH3684 shall be destroyedH7321. {destroyed: Heb. broken}
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 them, and chasedH7291 them unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721, and unto MisrephothmaimH4956, and unto the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastwardH4217; and they smoteH5221 them, until they leftH7604 them none remainingH8300. {great Zidon: or, Zidonrabbah} {Misrephothmaim: or, Salt pits: Heb. Burnings of waters}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
Therefore, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cut offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478, and will take awayH1197 the remnantH310 of the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man taketh awayH1197 dungH1557, till it be all goneH8552.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for the LordH136 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And it came to pass, when he reignedH4427, that he smoteH5221 all the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; he leftH7604 not to JeroboamH3379 any that breathedH5397, until he had destroyedH8045 him, according unto the sayingH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888:
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
And it came to pass, when he began to reignH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, that he slewH5221 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201: he leftH7604 him not one that pissethH8366 against a wallH7023, neither of his kinsfolksH1350, nor of his friendsH7453. {neither…: or, both his kinsmen and his friends}
AndG2532 the devilG1228 that deceivedG4105 themG846 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303, whereG3699 the beastG2342 andG2532 the false prophetG5578 are, andG2532 shall be tormentedG928 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
And will makeH5414 thine houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, for the provocationH3708 wherewith thou hast provoked me to angerH3707, and made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
He shall neither have sonH5209 nor nephewH5220 among his peopleH5971, nor any remainingH8300 in his dwellingsH4033.
Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.
