And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 madeH4427 AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead: for the band of menH1416 that cameH935 with the ArabiansH6163 to the campH4264 had slainH2026 all the eldestH7223. So AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reignedH4427.
FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018.
He also walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for his motherH517 was his counsellorH3289 to do wickedlyH7561.
Wherefore he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 like the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for they were his counsellorsH3289 afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH1 to his destructionH4889.
He walkedH1980 also after their counselH6098, and wentH3212 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 to warH4421 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568: and the SyriansH7421 smoteH5221 JoramH3141.
And he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 because of the woundsH4347 which were givenH5221 him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 at JezreelH3157, because he was sickH2470. {which…: Heb. wherewith they wounded him} {Azariah: also called, Ahaziah, ver.I. or, Jehoahaz, ver.21.17.}
And the destructionH8395 of AhaziahH274 was of GodH430 by comingH935 to JoramH3141: for when he was comeH935, he went outH3318 with JehoramH3088 against JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, whom the LORDH3068 had anointedH4886 to cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of AhabH256. {destruction: Heb. treading down}
And it came to pass, that, when JehuH3058 was executing judgmentH8199 upon the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and foundH4672 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the sonsH1121 of the brethrenH251 of AhaziahH274, that ministeredH8334 to AhaziahH274, he slewH2026 them.
And he soughtH1245 AhaziahH274: and they caughtH3920 him, (for he was hidH2244 in SamariaH8111,) and broughtH935 him to JehuH3058: and when they had slainH4191 him, they buriedH6912 him: Because, saidH559 they, he is the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, who soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824. So the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 had no powerH3581 to keepH6113 still the kingdomH4467.
The bookG976 of the generationG1078 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the sonG5207 of DavidG1138, the sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.

AndG1161 JosiasG2502 begatG1080 JechoniasG2423 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80, about the timeG1909 they were carried awayG3350 to BabylonG897: {Josias…: some read, Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias}
AndG1161 afterG3326 they were broughtG3350 to BabylonG897, JechoniasG2423 begatG1080 SalathielG4528; andG1161 SalathielG4528 begatG1080 ZorobabelG2216;
AndG1161 ZorobabelG2216 begatG1080 AbiudG10; andG1161 AbiudG10 begatG1080 EliakimG1662; andG1161 EliakimG1662 begatG1080 AzorG107;
AndG1161 AzorG107 begatG1080 SadocG4524; andG1161 SadocG4524 begatG1080 AchimG885; andG1161 AchimG885 begatG1080 EliudG1664;
AndG1161 EliudG1664 begatG1080 EleazarG1648; andG1161 EleazarG1648 begatG1080 MatthanG3157; andG1161 MatthanG3157 begatG1080 JacobG2384;
AndG1161 JacobG2384 begatG1080 JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, ofG1537 whomG3739 was bornG1080 JesusG2424, whoG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547.
SoG3767 allG3956 the generationsG1074 fromG575 AbrahamG11 toG2193 DavidG1138 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; andG2532 fromG575 DavidG1138 untilG2193 the carrying awayG3350 into BabylonG897 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; andG2532 fromG575 the carrying awayG3350 into BabylonG897 untoG2193 ChristG5547 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074.
NowG1161 the birthG1083 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG2258 on this wiseG3779: When asG1063 hisG846 motherG3384 MaryG3137 was espousedG3423 to JosephG2501, beforeG4250+G2228 theyG846 came togetherG4905, she was foundG2147 with childG1722+G1064+G2192 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ThenG1161 JosephG2501 herG846 husbandG435, beingG5607 a justG1342 man, andG2532 notG3361 willingG2309 to makeG3856 herG846 a publick exampleG3856, was mindedG1014 to putG630 herG846 awayG630 privilyG2977.
ButG1161 while heG846 thought onG1760 these thingsG5023, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 unto himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 notG3361 to takeG3880 unto theeG4675 MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: forG1063 that which is conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG2076 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {conceived: Gr. begotten}
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
NowG1161 allG3650 thisG5124 was doneG1096, thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
BeholdG2400, a virginG3933 shall be with childG1722+G1064+G2192, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG2076, GodG2316 withG3326 usG2257. {they…: or, his name shall be called}
ThenG1161 JosephG2501 being raisedG1326 fromG575 sleepG5258 didG4160 asG5613 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 had biddenG4367 himG846, andG2532 tookG3880 unto himG846 his wifeG1135:
AndG2532 knewG1097 herG846 notG3756 tillG2193+G3739 she had brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207: andG2532 he calledG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
AndG1161 AsaG760 begatG1080 JosaphatG2498; andG1161 JosaphatG2498 begatG1080 JoramG2496; andG1161 JoramG2496 begatG1080 OziasG3604;
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
Now when JehoramH3088 was risen upH6965 to the kingdomH4467 of his fatherH1, he strengthenedH2388 himself, and slewH2026 all his brethrenH251 with the swordH2719, and divers also of the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478.
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 years oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141, and departedH3212 without being desiredH2532. Howbeit they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but not in the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428. {without…: Heb. without desire}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, like as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
For the statutesH2708 of OmriH6018 are keptH8104, and all the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and ye walkH3212 in their counselsH4156; that I should makeH5414 thee a desolationH8047, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof an hissingH8322: therefore ye shall bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my peopleH5971. {For the…: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}
And ElishaH477 the prophetH5030 calledH7121 oneH259 of the childrenH1121 of the prophetsH5030, and saidH559 unto him, Gird upH2296 thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947 this boxH6378 of oilH8081 in thine handH3027, and goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568:
And when thou comestH935 thither, look outH7200 there JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and go inH935, and make him arise upH6965 from amongH8432 his brethrenH251, and carryH935 him to an innerH2315 chamberH2315; {inner…: Heb. chamber in a chamber}
Then takeH3947 the boxH6378 of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it on his headH7218, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. Then openH6605 the doorH1817, and fleeH5127, and tarryH2442 not.
So the young manH5288, even the young manH5288 the prophetH5030, wentH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568.
And when he cameH935, behold, the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 were sittingH3427; and he saidH559, I have an errandH1697 to thee, O captainH8269. And JehuH3058 saidH559, Unto which of all us? And he saidH559, To thee, O captainH8269.
And he aroseH6965, and wentH935 into the houseH1004; and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, even over IsraelH3478.
And thou shalt smiteH5221 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 thy masterH113, that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of all the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, at the handH3027 of JezebelH348.
For the whole houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6: and I will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478:
And I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281:
And the dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, and there shall be none to buryH6912 her. And he openedH6605 the doorH1817, and fledH5127.
Then JehuH3058 came forthH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and one saidH559 unto him, Is all wellH7965? wherefore cameH935 this madH7696 fellow to thee? And he saidH559 unto them, Ye knowH3045 the manH376, and his communicationH7879.
And they saidH559, It is falseH8267; tellH5046 us now. And he saidH559, Thus and thus spakeH559 he to me, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
Then they hastedH4116, and tookH3947 every manH376 his garmentH899, and putH7760 it under him on the topH1634 of the stairsH4609, and blewH8628 with trumpetsH7782, sayingH559, JehuH3058 is kingH4427. {is king: Heb. reigneth}
So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 had keptH8104 RamothgileadH7433+H1568, he and all IsraelH3478, becauseH6440 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.
But kingH4428 JoramH3088 was returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 which the SyriansH761 had givenH5221 him, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.) And JehuH3058 saidH559, If it beH3426 your mindsH5315, then let noneH408 go forthH3318 nor escapeH6412 out of the cityH5892 to goH3212 to tellH5046 it in JezreelH3157. {Joram: Heb. Jehoram but not in verse sixteen} {had given: Heb. smote} {let none…: Heb. let no escaper go, etc.}
So JehuH3058 rode in a chariotH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157; for JoramH3141 layH7901 there. And AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 was come downH3381 to seeH7200 JoramH3141.
And there stoodH5975 a watchmanH6822 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157, and he spiedH7200 the companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, I seeH7200 a companyH8229. And JoramH3088 saidH559, TakeH3947 an horsemanH7395, and sendH7971 to meetH7125 them, and let him sayH559, Is it peaceH7965?
So there wentH3212 one on horsebackH7392+H5483 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he cometh not againH7725.
Then he sent outH7971 a secondH8145 on horsebackH7392+H5483, which cameH935 to them, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me.
And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 even unto them, and cometh not againH7725: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drivethH5090 furiouslyH7697. {driving: or, marching} {furiously: Heb. in madness}
And JoramH3088 saidH559, Make readyH631. And his chariotH7393 was made readyH631. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they went outH3318 againstH7125 JehuH3058, and metH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. {Make ready: Heb. Bind} {met: Heb. found}
And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the whoredomsH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?
And JoramH3088 turnedH2015 his handsH3027, and fledH5127, and saidH559 to AhaziahH274, There is treacheryH4820, O AhaziahH274.
And JehuH3058 drew a bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH3027, and smoteH5221 JehoramH3088 between his armsH2220, and the arrowH2678 went outH3318 at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH3766 in his chariotH7393. {drew…: Heb. filled his hand with a bow} {sunk: Heb. bowed}
Then saidH559 Jehu to BidkarH920 his captainH7991, Take upH5375, and castH7993 him in the portionH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158: for rememberH2142 how that, when I and thou rodeH7392 togetherH6776 afterH310 AhabH256 his fatherH1, the LORDH3068 laidH5375 this burdenH4853 upon him;
Surely I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will requiteH7999 thee in this platH2513, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Now therefore takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the platH2513 of ground, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. {blood: Heb. bloods} {plat: or, portion}
But when AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 followedH7291 afterH310 him, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 him also in the chariotH4818. And they did so at the going upH4608 to GurH1483, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 there.
And his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him in a chariot to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his sepulchreH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And in the eleventhH259+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began AhaziahH274 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.
And when JehuH3058 was comeH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it; and she paintedH7760+H6320 her faceH5869, and tiredH3190 her headH7218, and looked outH8259 at a windowH2474. {painted…: Heb. put her eyes in painting}
And as JehuH3058 entered inH935 at the gateH8179, she saidH559, Had ZimriH2174 peaceH7965, who slewH2026 his masterH113?
And he lifted upH5375 his faceH6440 to the windowH2474, and saidH559, Who is on my side? who? And there looked outH8259 to him twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631. {eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
And he saidH559, Throw her downH8058. So they threw her downH8058: and some of her bloodH1818 was sprinkledH5137 on the wallH7023, and on the horsesH5483: and he trode her under footH7429.
And when he was come inH935, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and saidH559, GoH6485, see now this cursedH779 woman, and buryH6912 her: for she is a king'sH4428 daughterH1323.
And they wentH3212 to buryH6912 her: but they foundH4672 no more of her thanH518 the skullH1538, and the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027.
Wherefore they came againH7725, and toldH5046 him. And he saidH559, This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, In the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157 shall dogsH3611 eatH398 the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the carcaseH5038 of JezebelH348 shall be as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157; so that they shall not sayH559, This is JezebelH348.
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}
AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ComeG1831 out ofG1537 herG846, myG3450 peopleG2992, thatG3363 ye beG4790 notG3363 partakersG4790 of herG846 sinsG266, andG2532 thatG3363 ye receiveG2983 notG3363 ofG1537 herG846 plaguesG4127.
But when AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. And JehuH3058 followedH7291 afterH310 him, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 him also in the chariotH4818. And they did so at the going upH4608 to GurH1483, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 there.
