9 And Elisha the prophet called to one from the sons of the prophets, and he said to him, “Gird your loins, and take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead. 2 And you will come to there, and see Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, there. And you will come, and you will make him get up from the midst of his brothers, and you will bring him to an inner room in an inner room. 3 And you will take the flask of oil, and you will pour it on his head, and you will say, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “I have anointed you as king over Israel.”’ Then you will open the door, and you will flee, and you will not tarry.” 4 And the young man—the young man, the prophet—went to Ramoth-Gilead. 5 And he came and look—the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, “A word belongs to me concerning you, O captain.” And Jehu said, “Concerning who, from all of us?” And he said, “Concerning you, O captain.” 6 And he got up, and he came to the house, and he poured the oil on his head. And he said to him, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. 7 And you will strike the house of Ahab your lord, and I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh from the hand of Jezebel. 8 And all of the house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off the one of Ahab who urinates on a wall and the one who is restrained and the one who is set free in Israel. 9 And I will give the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 And the dogs will eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, but there will be no burying.’” And he opened the door, and he fled.
11 And Jehu came out to the servants of his lords, and he said to him, “Peace? Why did this madman come to you?” And he said to them, “You yourselves know the man and his speech.” 12 And they said, “A lie! Now, inform us.” And he said, “He said like this and like this to me, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “I have anointed you as king over Israel.”’” 13 And they hurried, and they took, each one his clothing, and they set them beneath him to the bone of the steps. And they blasted on the trumpet, and they said, “Jehu is king.”
14 And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. And Joram was guarding in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the face of Hazael the king of Aram. 15 And King Joram returned to heal in Jezreel from the wounds that Arameans had stricken when he fought with Hazael the king of Aram.
And Jehu said, “If it is your desire, do not let a fugitive go out from the city, to go to report in Jezreel.” 16 And Jehu rode, and he went to Jezreel, because Joram was laying down there. And Ahaziah the king of Judah went down to see Joram.
17 And the watchman was standing on the watchtower in Jezreel, and he saw the crowd of Jehu when he came, and he said, “I am seeing a crowd.” And Jehoram said, “Take a chariot, and send to call them, and he will say, ‘Peace?’” 18 And the chariot of the horse went to call him, and he said, “Thus says the king: ‘Peace?’” And Jehu said, “What is to you and to peace? Turn around to after me.” And the watchman declared, saying, “The messenger has come up to them, but he has not returned.” 19 And he sent out a second chariot of a horse, and he came to them, and he said, “Thus says the king: ‘Peace.’” And Jehu said, “What is to you and to peace? Turn around to after me.” 20 And the watchman declared, saying, “He has come up to them, but he has not returned, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives with madness.”
21 And Joram said, “Get harnessed.” And he harnessed his chariot, and Jehoram the king of Israel and Ahaziah the king of Judah went out, each man in his chariot, and they went out to call Jehu. And they found him on the portion of Naboth, the Jezreelite. 22 And it happened, when Jehoram saw Jehu, and he said, “Peace, Jehu?” And he said, “How is peace during the promiscuity of Jezebel, your mother, and her many sorceries?” 23 And Jehoram turned his hands and he fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “Deceit, Ahaziah!” 24 And Jehu filled his hand with the bow, and he struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out from his heart. And he sank down in his chariot. 25 And he said to Bidkar, his third officer, “Lift and throw him in the portion of the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For remember—me and you, riding as pairs after Ahab his father, and Yahweh lifted this utterance against him: 26 ‘If not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons I have seen yesterday, declares Yahweh, and I will repay to you in this portion, declares Yahweh.’ But now, lift, throw him in the portion, according to the word of Yahweh.”
27 And Ahaziah the king of Judah saw, and he fled the way of the house of the garden. And Jehu pursued after him, and he said, “Also strike him to the chariot in the ascent of Gur which is near Ibleam.” And he fled to Megiddo, and he died there. 28 And his servants caused him to ride to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
29 And in the year of the 11 th year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.
30 And Jehu came to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard. And she set her eyes with paint, and she made her head good, and she looked down through the window. 31 And Jehu came in the gate, And she said, “Peace, Zimri, murderer of his lord?” 32 And he lifted his face to the window, and he said, “Who is with me? Who?” And two, three eunuchs looked down to him. 33 And he said, “Drop her.” And they dropped her, and some of her blood sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her. 34 And he went, and he ate, and he drank, and he said, “Now, attend to this cursed woman and bury her, for a daughter of a king is she.” 35 And they went to bury her, but they did not find among her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands. 36 And they returned, and they informed him, and he said, “It is the word of Yahweh that he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah, the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the portion of Jezreel, the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel, 37 and the corpse of Jezebel will be like dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they will not say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
