H256
Now Ahab
H7657
had seventy
H1121
sons
H8111
in Samaria.
H3058
Jehu
H3789
wrote
H5612
letters,
H7971
and sent
H8111
to Samaria,
H8269
to the rulers
H3157
of Jezreel,
H2205
even the elders,
H539
and to those who brought up
H256
the sons of Ahab,
H559
saying,
2
H5612
"Now as soon as this letter
H935
comes
H113
to you, since your master's
H1121
sons
H7393
are with you, and there are with you chariots
H5483
and horses,
H4013
a fortified
H5892
city
H5402
also, and armor.
3
H7200
Select
H2896
the best
H3477
and fittest
H113
of your master's
H1121
sons,
H7760
set
H1
him on his father's
H3678
throne,
H3898
and fight
H113
for your master's
H1004
house."
4
H3966
But they were exceedingly
H3372
afraid,
H559
and said,
H8147
"Behold, the two
H4428
kings
H5975
didn't stand
H6440
before
H5975
him! How then shall we stand?"
5
H1004
He who was over the household,
H5892
and he who was over the city,
H2205
the elders
H539
also, and those who raised
H7971
the children, sent
H3058
to Jehu,
H559
saying,
H5650
"We are your servants,
H6213
and will do
H559
all that you ask
H376
us. We will not make any
H4427
man king.
H6213
You do
H2896
that which is good
H5869
in your eyes."
6
H3789
Then he wrote
H5612
a letter
H8145
the second time
H559
to them, saying,
H8085
"If you are on my side, and if you will listen
H6963
to my voice,
H3947
take
H7218
the heads
H582
of the men
H113
your master's
H1121
sons,
H935
and come
H3157
to me to Jezreel
H4279
by tomorrow
H6256
this time."
H4428
Now the king's
H1121
sons,
H7657
being seventy
H376
persons,
H1419
were with the great men
H5892
of the city,
H1431
who brought them up.
7
H5612
It happened, when the letter
H935
came
H3947
to them, that they took
H4428
the king's
H1121
sons,
H7819
and killed
H7657
them, even seventy
H376
persons,
H7760
and put
H7218
their heads
H1731
in baskets,
H7971
and sent
H3157
them to him to Jezreel.
8
H4397
A messenger
H935
came,
H5046
and told
H935
him, "They have brought
H7218
the heads
H4428
of the king's
H1121
sons."
H559
He said,
H7760
"Lay
H6607
them in
H8147
two
H6652
heaps
H6607
at the entrance
H8179
of the gate
H1242
until the morning."
9
H1242
It happened in the morning,
H3318
that he went out,
H5975
and stood,
H559
and said
H5971
to all the people,
H6662
"You are righteous.
H7194
Behold, I conspired
H113
against my master,
H2026
and killed
H5221
him; but who struck all these?
10
H3045
Know
H645
now
H5307
that nothing shall fall
H776
to the earth
H1697
of the word
H3068
of Yahweh,
H3068
which Yahweh
H1696
spoke
H1004
concerning the house
H256
of Ahab.
H3068
For Yahweh
H6213
has done
H1696
that which he spoke
H3027
by
H5650
his servant
H452
Elijah."
11
H3058
So Jehu
H5221
struck
H7604
all that remained
H1004
of the house
H256
of Ahab
H3157
in Jezreel,
H1419
with all his great men,
H3045
his familiar
H3548
friends, and his priests,
H7604
until he left
H8300
him none remaining.
12
H6965
He arose
H935
and departed,
H3212
and went
H8111
to Samaria.
H7462
As he was at the shearing
H1004
house
H1870
of the shepherds on the way,
13
H3058
Jehu
H4672
met
H251
with the brothers
H274
of Ahaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H559
and said,
H559
"Who are you?" They answered,
H251
"We are the brothers
H274
of Ahaziah.
H3381
We are going down
H7965
to greet
H1121
the children
H4428
of the king
H1121
and the children
H1377
of the queen."
14
H559
He said,
H8610
"Take
H2416
them alive!"
H8610
They took
H2416
them alive,
H7819
and killed
H953
them at the pit
H1044
of the shearing house,
H705
even forty -
H8147
two
H376
men.
H7604
He didn't leave
H376
any of them.
15
H3212
When he had departed
H3082
from there, he met Jehonadab
H1121
the son
H7394
of Rechab
H7125
coming to meet
H1288
him. He greeted
H559
him, and said
H3426
to him, "Is
H3824
your heart
H3477
right,
H3824
as my heart
H3426
is
H3824
with your heart?"
H3082
Jehonadab
H559
answered,
H3426
"It is." "If it is,
H5414
give
H3027
me your hand."
H5414
He gave
H3027
him his hand;
H5927
and he took him up
H4818
to him into the chariot.
16
H559
He said,
H3212
"Come
H7200
with me, and see
H7068
my zeal
H3068
for Yahweh."
H7392
So they made him ride
H7393
in his chariot.
17
H935
When he came
H8111
to Samaria,
H5221
he struck
H7604
all who remained
H256
to Ahab
H8111
in Samaria,
H8045
until he had destroyed
H1697
him, according to the word
H3068
of Yahweh,
H1696
which he spoke
H452
to Elijah.
18
H3058
Jehu
H6908
gathered
H5971
all the people
H6908
together,
H559
and said
H256
to them, "Ahab
H5647
served
H1168
Baal
H4592
a little;
H3058
but Jehu
H5647
will serve
H7235
him much.
19
H7121
Now therefore call
H5030
to me all the prophets
H1168
of Baal,
H5647
all of his worshippers,
H3548
and all of his priests.
H376
Let none
H6485
be absent;
H1419
for I have a great
H2077
sacrifice
H1168
to Baal.
H6485
Whoever is absent,
H2421
he shall not live."
H3058
But Jehu
H6213
did
H6122
it in subtlety,
H6
intending that he might destroy
H5647
the worshippers
H1168
of Baal.
20
H3058
Jehu
H559
said,
H6942
"Sanctify
H6116
a solemn assembly
H1168
for Baal!"
H7121
They proclaimed it.
21
H3058
Jehu
H7971
sent
H3478
through all Israel;
H5647
and all the worshippers
H1168
of Baal
H935
came,
H376
so that there was not a man
H7604
left
H935
that didn't come.
H935
They came
H1004
into the house
H1168
of Baal;
H1004
and the house
H1168
of Baal
H4390
was filled
H6310
from one end
H6310
to another.
22
H559
He said
H4458
to him who was over the vestry,
H3318
"Bring out
H3830
robes
H5647
for all the worshippers
H1168
of Baal!"
H4403
He brought robes
H3318
out to them.
23
H3058
Jehu
H935
went
H3082
with Jehonadab
H1121
the son
H7394
of Rechab
H1004
into the house
H1168
of Baal.
H559
Then he said
H5647
to the worshippers
H1168
of Baal,
H2664
"Search,
H7200
and look
H3426
that there are
H5650
here with you none of the servants
H3068
of Yahweh,
H5647
but the worshippers
H1168
of Baal only."
24
H935
They went in
H6213
to offer
H2077
sacrifices
H5930
and burnt offerings.
H3058
Now Jehu
H7760
had appointed
H8084
him eighty
H376
men
H2351
outside,
H559
and said,
H376
"If any
H582
of the men
H935
whom I bring
H3027
into your hands
H4422
escape,
H5315
he who lets him go, his life
H5315
shall be for the life of him."
25
H3615
It happened, as soon as he had made an end
H5930
of offering
H6213
the burnt offering,
H3058
that Jehu
H559
said
H7323
to the guard
H7991
and to the captains,
H935
"Go in,
H5221
and kill
H376
them! Let none
H3318
escape."
H5221
They struck
H6310
them with the edge
H2719
of the sword;
H7323
and the guard
H7991
and the captains
H7993
cast them out,
H3212
and went
H5892
to the city
H1004
of the house
H1168
of Baal.
26
H3318
They brought out
H4676
the pillars
H1004
that were in the house
H1168
of Baal,
H8313
and burned them.
27
H5422
They broke down
H4676
the pillar
H1168
of Baal,
H5422
and broke down
H1004
the house
H1168
of Baal,
H7760
and made
H4163
it a latrine,
H3117
to this day.
29
H2399
However from the sins
H3379
of Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat,
H3478
with which he made Israel
H2398
to sin,
H3058
Jehu
H5493
didn't depart
H310
from after
H2091
them, the golden
H5695
calves
H1008
that were in Bethel,
H1835
and that were in Dan.
30
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H3058
to Jehu,
H2895
"Because you have done well
H6213
in executing
H3477
that which is right
H5869
in my eyes,
H6213
and have done
H1004
to the house
H256
of Ahab
H3824
according to all that was in my heart,
H1121
your sons
H7243
of the fourth
H3427
generation shall sit
H3678
on the throne
H3478
of Israel."
31
H3058
But Jehu
H8104
took no heed
H3212
to walk
H8451
in the law
H3068
of Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H3824
with all his heart.
H5493
He didn't depart
H2403
from the sins
H3379
of Jeroboam,
H3478
with which he made Israel
H2398
to sin.
32
H3117
In those days
H3068
Yahweh
H2490
began
H7096
to cut
H7096
off
H3478
from Israel;
H2371
and Hazael
H5221
struck
H1366
them in all the borders
H3478
of Israel;
33
H3383
from the Jordan
H4217
eastward,
H776
all the land
H1568
of Gilead,
H1425
the Gadites,
H7206
and the Reubenites,
H4520
and the Manassites,
H6177
from Aroer,
H5158
which is by the valley
H769
of the Arnon,
H1568
even Gilead
H1316
and Bashan.
34
H3499
Now the rest
H1697
of the acts
H3058
of Jehu,
H6213
and all that he did,
H1369
and all his might,
H3789
aren't they written
H5612
in the book
H1697
of the chronicles
H4428
of the kings
H3478
of Israel?
