2 Kings 9:16-29 - Jehu Kills Joram And Ahaziah

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.

27 And Ahaziah king of Judah saw, and he will flee the way of the house of the garden. And Jehu will pursue after him, and he will say, Strike him also to the chariot in the ascent of Gur, which is with Ibleam. And he will flee to Megiddo, and die there. 28 And his servants will cause him to ride to Jerusalem, and they will bury him in his grave with his fathers in the city of David. 29 And in the year, the eleventh year to Joram, son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.
