Turn around and follow me.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>So the watchman reported, saying, “He went up to them and is not coming back; and the driving <i>is</i> like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously!”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then Joram said, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[f]</a></span>“Make ready.” And his chariot was made ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[g]</a></span>met him on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, “<i>Is it</i> peace, Jehu?”</span></p><p><span class="text 2Kgs-9-22">So he answered, “What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft <i>are so</i> many?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Then Joram turned around and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Now Jehu <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[h]</a></span>drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then <i>Jehu</i> said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick <i>him</i> up, <i>and</i> throw him into the tract of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> laid this burden upon him: </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>‘Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span>, ‘and I will repay you <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[i]</a></span>in this plot,’ says the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span>. Now therefore, take <i>and</i> throw him on the plot <i>of ground,</i> according to the word of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span>.”</span></p> <h3> Ahaziah of Judah Killed</span></h3><p><span class="text 2Kgs-9-27"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw <i>this,</i> he fled by the road to <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[j]</a></span>Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[k]</a></span>“Shoot him also in the chariot.” <i>And they shot him</i> at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to Megiddo, and died there. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.</span></p> <h3> Jezebel’s Violent Death</span></h3><p><span class="text 2Kgs-9-30"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard <i>of it;</i> and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “<i>Is it</i> peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who <i>is</i> on my side? Who?” So two <i>or</i> three eunuchs looked out at him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and <i>some</i> of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed <i>woman,</i> and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of <i>her</i> hands. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/9-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Therefore they came back and told him.
