THE HOUSEHOLD OF ACH AB IS DEATHIFIED
And Ach Ab has seventy sons in Shomeron: And Yah Hu inscribes scrolls and sends to Shomeron, to the governors of Yizre El, to the elders and to them who are amenable to Ach Ab, saying, 2 And now this scroll comes to you, seeing the sons of your adoni are with you and chariots and horses with you and a fortified city and armour; 3 see to the best and straightest of the sons of your adoni; and set him on the throne of his father and fight for the house of your adoni. 4 And they awe mightily and say, Behold, two sovereigns stood not at his face: how then stand we? 5 And him over the house and him over the city and the elders and the amenable send to Yah Hu, saying, We are your servants and work all you say to us; we have no man to reign: work what is good in your eyes. 6 And he inscribes them a scroll a second time, saying, If you are mine and if you hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men - the sons of your adoni and come to me to Yizre El by this time tomorrow. The sons of the sovereign - seventy men are with the great men of the city - who greatened them. 7 And so be it, the scroll comes to them, and they take the sons of the sovereign; and slaughter seventy men and set their heads in boilers and send him them to Yizre El. 8 And an angel comes and tells him, saying, They bring the heads of the sons of the sovereign. And he says, Set them in two heaps at the opening of the portal until the morning. 9 And so be it, in the morning, he goes and stands and says to all the people, You are just! Behold, I conspired against my adoni and slaughtered him! But who smote all these? 10 Now you know that no word of Yah Veh falls to the earth that Yah Veh words concerning the house of Ach Ab: for Yah Veh works what he worded by the hand of his servant Eli Yah. 11 And Yah Hu smites all the house of Ach Ab in Yizre El who survive - all his great men and those he knew and his priests until in surviving, none survive. 12 And he rises and departs and goes to Shomeron: and he is at the house of binding/Beth Eqed of the tenders in the way; 13 and Yah Hu finds the brothers of Achaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and says, Who are you? And they say, We are the brothers of Achaz Yah; and we descend to bid shalom to the sons of the sovereign and the sons of the lady. 14 And he says, Apprehend them alive! And they apprehend them alive and slaughter them at the well of the house of binding/Beth Eqed - forty-two men - none of whom survive. 15 And he goes from there, and he finds Yah Nadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he blesses him, and says to him, Is your heart as straight as my heart with your heart? And Yah Nadab says, So be it. If so be it, give your hand. And he gives his hand; and ascends him to himself in the chariot; 16 and he says, Come with me and see my zeal for Yah Veh. So they ride him in his chariot: 17 and when he comes to Shomeron, he smites all who survived Ach Ab in Shomeron until he desolates him according to the word Yah Veh worded to Eli Yah. 18 And Yah Hu gathers all the people and says to them, Ach Ab served Baal a little; Yah Hu serves him aboundingly: 19 now call to me all the prophets of Baal - all his servants and all his priests - no man missing: for I have a great sacrifice to Baal; whosoever is missing, lives not. - and Yah Hu works trickery so as to destroy the servants of Baal. 20 And Yah Hu says, Hallow a private assembly for Baal! - and they call it. 21 And Yah Hu sends through all Yisra El: and all the servants of Baal came, so that no man survives who comes not: and they come to the house of Baal; and the house of Baal is filled from mouth to mouth. 22 And he says to him who are over the wardrobe, Bring the robes for all the servants of Baal! - and he brings the robes. 23 And Yah Hu goes to the house of Baal with Yah Nadab the son of Rechab and says to the servants of Baal, Search! See that no servants of Yah Veh are here with you except the servants of Baal by themselves. 24 And they go in to work sacrifices and holocausts, and Yah Hu sets eighty men outside and says, The man who allows any of the men I bring to your hands to escape - his soul for his soul. 25 And so be it, as he finishes working the holocaust, Yah Hu says to the runners and to the tertiaries, Go! Smite them! Allow no man to go! - and they smite them with the mouth of the sword; and the runners and the tertiaries cast them out, and go to the city of the house of Baal: 26 and they bring the monoliths from the house of Baal and burn them; 27 and they pull down the monolith of Baal and pull down the house of Baal and set it a sewer to this day; 28 thus Yah Hu desolated Baal from Yisra El. 29 Only, the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat who had Yisra El to sin, Yah Hu turns not aside from after them the golden calves in Beth El and in Dan. 30 And Yah Veh says to Yah Hu, Because you work good and straight in my eyes and work to the house of Ach Ab according to all in my heart, your sons to the fourth settle on the throne of Yisra El. 31 And Yah Hu guards not to walk in the torah of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with all his heart: he turns not aside from the sins of Yarob Am, which has Yisra El to sin. 32 In those days Yah Veh begins to cut off Yisra El and Haza El smites them in all the borders of Yisra El 33 - from Yarden toward the rising of the sun; all the land of Gilad; the Gadiy and the Reu Beniy and the Menash Shiy; from Aroer by the wadi Arnon; even Gilad and Bashan. 34 And the rest of the words of Yah Hu and all he worked and all his might, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? 35 And Yah Hu lies down with his fathers: and they entomb him in Shomeron: and Yah Achaz his son reigns in his stead. 36 And the days Yah Hu reigns over Yisra El in Shomeron are twenty-eight years.
