21 “Quick, get my chariot ready!” Yoram ordered. They harnessed his chariot and King Yoram of Yisrael and Yehudah’s King Ahazyah both went out—each man in his chariot. They went out to meet Yehu and they found him at Navot’s field (the Yizre’elite). 22 When Yoram saw Yehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Yehu?”

“How could there be peace,” he answered, “when your mother Izevel is serving idols and embracing witchcraft?”

23 Then Yoram swung the chariot reigns around and fled, shouting to Ahazyah, “It’s treason, Ahazyah!” 24 Yehu grabbed his bow, and the arrow struck Yoram between his shoulder blades and came out from his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot. 25 Then Yehu said to his third officer Bidkar, “Pick up his body and throw it out into the field of Navot, the Yizre’elite. I’m sure you remember how you and I were riding as pairs after his father Ahab, when Yahweh said this against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw Navot and his sons killed here, declared Yahweh, and I will repay you in this very place, declares Yahweh.’ So now, throw his body down here because Yahweh declared that it would happen.”

27 Yehudah’s King Ahazyah saw that happen, and he sped away through the garden by a house with Yehu chasing after him shouting, “Get him too in his chariot when he starts climbing upwards to Gur near Yibleam.” So as he fled towards Megiddo, he was killed there, 28 and his servants took his body to Yerushalem, where they buried him in his ancestral tomb in the City of David.
