2 Kings 9:11-26 - Jehu Assassinates Joram
11 And Jelin will go forth to the servants of his lord: and it will be said to him, Peace? wherefore came this raving to thee? And he will say, to them, Ye knew the man and his speech.
12 And they will say, A falsehood; announce to us now And he will say, According to this, and according to this he said to me, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I anointed thee for king to Israel
13 And they will hasten and take a man his garment, and will put under him to the body of the steps, and they will strike upon the trumpet and say, Jehu reigned.
14 And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi will conspire against Joram. (And Joram watched in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the face of Hazael king of Aram. 15 And Jehoram the king turned back to be healed in Jezreel from the blows which the Aramites struck him in his warring with Hazael king of Aram.) And Jehu will say, If it is your soul, none escaping, shall go forth from the city to go to announce in Jezreel.
16 And Jehu will ride and go to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah went down to see Joram. 17 And he watching stood. upon the tower in Jezreel, and he will see the multitude of Jehu in his coming, and he will say, I see a multitude. And Jehoram will say, Take a horseman and send to meet them, and he shall say, Is it peace?
18 And a horseman of the horse will go to meet him, and he will say, Thus said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu will say, What to thee and to peace? turn behind me. And he watching will announce, saying, The messenger went even to them and turned not back.
19 And he will send a second horseman of horse, and he will go to them and say, Thus said the king, Is it peace? and Jehu will say, What to thee and to peace? turn behind me.
20 And he watching will announce, saying, He came even to them and turned not back: and the driving as the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for he will drive in madness.
21 And Jehoram will say, Harness. And he will harness his chariot And Jehoram king of Israel will go forth, and Ahaziah king of Judah, a man in his chariot; and they will go forth to meet Jehu, and they will find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite 22 And it will be when Jehoram saw Jehu, and he will say, Is it peace? and Jehu will say, What the peace, while the fornication of Jezebel thy mother and her sorceries are many?
23 And Jehoram will turn his hands and flee, and say to Ahaziah, Fraud, O Ahaziah. 24 And Jehu filled his hand with a bow, and he will strike Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow will go forth from his heart, and he will bow down in his chariot 25 And he will say to Bidkar the third, Lift up, cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for I remember I and thou riding in pairs after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted up upon him this lifting up. 26 But the bloods of Naboth and the bloods of his sons did I not see yester-night, said Jehovah; and I requited to thee in this portion, said Jehovah. And now lift up, and cast him into the portion according to the word of Jehovah.
