RF KI2 9:1 (B.C. 884.) Elisha orders Jehu to Rebel.
Then Alisha called one of the students of the Preachers and said to him, "Gird up your waist, and take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilad.
RF KI2 9:2 When you arrive there, seek out Jehu-ben-Jehoshaphat-ben-Nimshi, and go and separate him from his companions, and take him with you to a private room.
RF KI2 9:3 Then take the flask of oil and pour it upon his head, and say, 'Thus says the EVER-LIVING, I have consecrated you king over Israel.' Then open the door and fly, and do not delay!"
RF KI2 9:4 So the youth, the young Preacher, went to Ramoth Gilad.
RF KI2 9:5 When he found the Generals of the forces sitting together, and said, "I have a message for you, General."
And Jehu asked, "To which of all of us?"
When he replied, "For you, General."
RF KI2 9:6 He therefore arose and they went to his house, where he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, "Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, 'I have consecrated you king over the People of the EVER-LIVING,—over Israel!
RF KI2 9:7 And you shall cut off the House of Ahab your Master, and execute justice for Me, for the blood of My servants, the Preachers, and the blood of all the servants of the EVER-LIVING from the hand of Aisabel;
RF KI2 9:8 and destroy every palace of Ahab, and cut off from Ahab every male and female, or infant in Israel.
RF KI2 9:9 For I will make the House of Ahab like the House of Jerabam-ben-Nebat, and like the House of Basha-ben-Akhiah,—
RF KI2 9:10 and the dogs shall devour Aisabel in the streets of Jezreel,—for she shall never be buried!'" Then he opened the door and fled.
RF KI2 9:11 When Jehu returned to his Master's officers, they asked him, "Is all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?"
And he answered, "You know the man and his talk."
RF KI2 9:12 But they replied, "It is a lie! Come on,—tell us!"
He consequently responded,—"He said this and that to me:—'Thus says the EVER-LIVING, I have consecrated you as king of Israel!'"
RF KI2 9:13 Then they rushed, and everyone took his robe and folded it under him on the platform of the doorsteps, and sounded the trumpet, and shouted "Jehu is king!"
RF KI2 9:14 Thus Jehu-ben-Jehoshaphat-ben-Nimshi conspired against Joram, when guarding Ramoth Gilad for Joram from Hazahal, king of Aram,
RF KI2 9:15 while king Joram had retired to be cured in Jezreel of the wounds which the Aramites had given him in the fight with Hazahal, king of Aram.
Then Jehu said, "If that is your intention, let none escape from the town to go to report in Jezreel."
RF KI2 9:16 (B.C. 884.) Jehu Marches on Jezreel.
Jehu then mounted and marched towards Jezreel; for Joram was staying there, and Akhaziah, king of Judah, had come to visit Joram.
RF KI2 9:17 A watchman, however, was posted on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the squadrons of Jehu as they advanced, so he cried, "I see squadrons!"
Joram ordered, "Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and enquire if all is peace."
RF KI2 9:18 A horseman therefore went to meet him, and said, "The king asks this, 'Is all peace?'"
When Jehu replied, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me!"
The watchman again reported, saying, "The messenger arrived at them—but does not return!"
RF KI2 9:19 Then he sent a second horseman, who came to him, and said, "The king asks this, Is all peace?'"
When Jehu answered, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me!"
RF KI2 9:20 Again the watchman reported, saying, "He arrived at them—but does not return! And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives like a madman!"
RF KI2 9:21 Then Joram exclaimed, "Harness!" And they harnessed his chariot; and Joram, king of Israel, went out with Akhaziah, king of Judah, each in his chariot, and advanced to meet Jehu, and they met him at the farm of Naboth the Jezreelite.
RF KI2 9:22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he asked, "Is all peace, Jehu?"
But he answered, "How can there be peace while the whoredoms of your mother Aisabel, and her personings are so many?"
RF KI2 9:23 Then Joram turned his hand and fled, and exclaimed to Akhaziah, "It is a rebellion, Akhaziah."
RF KI2 9:24 Jehu, however, seized his bow and hit Joram between his arms, and the arrow passed through his heart, and he dropped down in the chariot.
RF KI2 9:25 Then he said to Bidkar, the General of his guards, "Lift him up, and fling him out on the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite,—for remember when I and you were riding together after Akhab his father, the EVER-LIVING laid this burden upon him:
RF KI2 9:26 'As I saw the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, last night (says the LORD), I will repay it to you upon this very farm,' the EVER-LIVING declared. So now take, and fling him on to the spot, according to the word of the EVER-LIVING."
RF KI2 9:27 And Akhaziah, king of Judah, saw it.
Then he fled towards the garden-house; but Jehu followed after him, and shouted, "Him also!" They wounded him in his chariot at the ascent of the summer-house at Iblam; but he fled to Megiddo, and died there,
RF KI2 9:28 and his officers carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in the graves of his fathers, in the City of David.
RF KI2 9:29 (It was in the eleventh year of Joram-ben-Akhab that Akhaziah had begun to reign over Judah.)
RF KI2 9:30 (B.C. 884.) Death of Jezabel.
But Aisabel heard of the coming of Jehu towards Jezreel, so she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window;
RF KI2 9:31 and when he came to the court she asked:—"Had Zimri peace who slew his Master?"
RF KI2 9:32 But he raised his face to the window and called out, "Who is on my side? Who?" When two or three eunuchs looked out to him;
RF KI2 9:33 then he shouted, "Throw her down!" So they threw her down, and her blood splashed the wall, and the horses who trampled upon her!
RF KI2 9:34 Then he entered, and ate and drank, and afterwards said, "Pick up that damned woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter."
RF KI2 9:35 They therefore went to bury her, but found nothing of her, except her skull, and feet, and the palms of her hands.
RF KI2 9:36 So they returned and reported it to him, when he remarked, "It was the sentence of the EVER-LIVING, which He delivered by the means of His servant Eliah the Thishbite, saying,
'Upon the vineyard of Jezreel dogs shall eat the carcase of Aisabel!'
RF KI2 9:37 And the carcase of Aisabel shall become dung upon the surface of the ground of the farm of Jezreel, so that they cannot say, 'This was Aisabel!'"
