2 Kings 9:15-37 - Jehu The Assassin
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.
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.
30 And Jehu will come to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard, and she will put her eyes in paint, and do her head good, and she will look through the window. 31 And Jehu came into the gate, and she will say, Was peace to Zimri, killing his lord?
32 And he will lift up his face to the window, and say, Who with me? who? and there will look towards him two, three eunuchs. 33 And he will say, Throw her down. And they will throw her down, and there will be sprinkled of her blood upon the wall and upon the horses: and he will tread her under foot
34 And he will go in and eat and drink, and he will say, Review now this curse, and bury her, for she the daughter of a king. 35 And they will go to bury her: and they found not of her but the skull and the feet, and the palms of the hands 36 And they will turn back and announce to him, and he will say, This the word of Jehovah which he spake by the hand of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel, dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel. 37 And the carcass of Jezebel was as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; that they shall not say this is Jezebel
