2 Kings 9

1 Elisha sendeth a young prophet with instructions to anoint Jehu at Ramoth-gilead. 4 The prophet having done his message fleeth. 11 Jehu, being made king by the soldiers, killeth Joram in the field of Naboth. 27 Ahaziah is slain at Gur, and buried at Jerusalem. 30 Proud Jezebel is thrown down out of a window, and eaten by dogs.

 9:1 ¶ And Elisha 477 the Prophet 5030 called 7121 z8804 one 259 of the children 1121 x4480 of the Prophets, 5030 and said 559 z8799 vnto him, Gird vp 2296 z8798 thy loines, 4975 and take 3947 z8798 this x2088 boxe 6378 of oile 8081 in thine hand, 3027 and goe y3212 z8798 x1980 to Ramoth Gilead. 7433 y1568

 9:2 And when thou commest 935 z8804 thither, x8033 looke out 7200 z8798 there x8033 Iehu 3058 the sonne 1121 of Iehoshaphat, 3092 the sonne 1121 of Nimshi, 5250 and goe in, 935 z8804 and make him arise vp 6965 z8689 from among 8432 x4480 his brethren, 251 and carie 935 z8689 him to an inner 2315 chamber. 2315

 9:3 Then take 3947 z8804 the boxe 6378 of oile, 8081 and powre 3332 z8804 it on x5921 his head, 7218 and say, 559 z8804 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 I haue anointed 4886 z8804 thee king 4428 ouer x413 Israel: 3478 then open 6605 z8804 the doore, 1817 and flee, 5127 z8804 and tary 2442 z8762 not. x3808

 9:4 ¶ So the yong man, 5288 [euen] the yong man 5288 the Prophet, 5030 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Ramoth Gilead: 7433 y1568

 9:5 And when hee came, 935 z8799 behold, x2009 the captaines 8269 of the host 2428 were sitting; 3427 z8802 and hee said, 559 z8799 I haue an errand 1697 to x413 thee, O captaine: 8269 And Iehu 3058 said, 559 z8799 Unto x413 which x4310 of all x4480 x3605 vs? And he said, 559 z8799 To x413 thee, O captaine. 8269

 9:6 And hee arose, 6965 z8799 and went 935 z8799 into the house, 1004 and hee powred 3332 z8799 the oyle 8081 on x413 his head, 7218 and said 559 z8799 vnto him, Thus x3541 sayth 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 I haue anoynted 4886 z8804 thee king 4428 ouer x413 the people 5971 of the LORD, 3068 [euen] ouer x413 Israel. 3478

 9:7 And thou shalt smite 5221 z8689 x853 the house 1004 of Ahab 256 thy master, 113 that I may auenge 5358 z8765 the blood 1818 of my seruants 5650 the Prophets, 5030 and the blood 1818 of all x3605 the seruants 5650 of the LORD, 3068 at the hand 3027 x4480 of Iezebel. 348

 9:8 For the whole x3605 house 1004 of Ahab 256 shal perish, 6 z8804 and I will cut off 3772 z8689 from Ahab, 256 him that pisseth 8366 z8688 against the wall, 7023 and him that is shut vp 6113 z8803 and left 5800 z8803 in Israel. 3478

 9:9 And I will make 5414 z8804 x853 the house 1004 of Ahab, 256 like the house 1004 of Ieroboam 3379 the sonne 1121 of Nebat, 5028 and like the house 1004 of Baasha 1201 the sonne 1121 of Ahiiah. 281

 9:10 And the dogges 3611 shal eate 398 z8799 Iezebel 348 in the portion 2506 of Iezreel, 3157 and there shal be none x369 to burie 6912 z8802 [her]. And he opened 6605 z8799 the doore, 1817 and fled. 5127 z8799

 9:11 ¶ Then Iehu 3058 came foorth 3318 z8804 to x413 the seruants 5650 of his lord, 113 and [one] said 559 z8799 vnto him, Is all well? 7965 wherefore x4069 came 935 z8804 this x2088 madde 7696 z8794 fellow to x413 thee? And he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Yee x859 know 3045 z8804 the man, 376 and x853 his communication. 7879

 9:12 And they said, 559 z8799 [It is] false, 8267 tell 5046 z8685 vs now: x4994 And hee sayde, 559 z8799 Thus x2063 and thus x2063 spake 559 z8804 he to x413 me, saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 I haue anoynted 4886 z8804 thee King 4428 ouer x413 Israel. 3478

 9:13 Then they hasted, 4116 z8762 and tooke 3947 z8799 euery man 376 his garment, 899 and put 7760 z8799 it vnder x8478 him on x413 the top 1634 of the staires, 4609 and blewe 8628 z8799 with trumpets, 7782 saying, 559 z8799 Iehu 3058 is king. 4427 z8804

 9:14 So Iehu 3058 the sonne 1121 of Iehoshaphat, 3092 the sonne 1121 of Nimshi, 5250 conspired 7194 z8691 against x413 Ioram: 3141 (now Ioram 3141 had x1961 kept 8104 z8802 Ramoth Gilead, 7433 y1568 hee, x1931 and all x3605 Israel, 3478 because 6440 x4480 of Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria: 758

 9:15 But king 4428 Ioram 3088 was returned 7725 z8799 to bee healed 7495 z8692 in Iezreel, 3157 of x4480 the wounds 4347 which x834 the Syrians 761 had giuen 5221 z8686 him, when he fought 3898 z8736 with x854 Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria.) 758 And Iehu 3058 said, 559 z8799 If x518 it be 3426 your minds, 5315 then let none 408 goe forth 3318 z8799 [nor] escape 6412 out of x4480 the citie, 5892 to goe y3212 z8800 x1980 to tell 5046 z8687 [it] in Iezreel. 3157

 9:16 So Iehu 3058 rode in a charet, 7392 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Iezreel, 3157 (for x3588 Ioram 3141 lay 7901 z8802 there:) x8033 and Ahaziah 274 king 4428 of Iudah 3063 was come downe 3381 z8804 to see 7200 z8800 x853 Ioram. 3141

 9:17 And there stood 5975 z8802 a watchman 6822 z8802 on x5921 the towre 4026 in Iezreel, 3157 and hee spied 7200 z8799 x853 the company 8229 of Iehu 3058 as he came, 935 z8800 and said, 559 z8799 I x589 see 7200 z8802 a companie. 8229 And Ioram 3088 sayd, 559 z8799 Take 3947 z8798 an horseman, 7395 and send 7971 z8798 to meete y7125 z8800 x7122 them, and let him say, 559 z8799 [Is it] peace? 7965

 9:18 So there went y3212 z8799 x1980 one on horsebacke 7392 5483 z8802 to meete y7125 z8800 x7122 him, and said, 559 z8799 Thus x3541 sayth 559 z8804 the king, 4428 [Is it] peace? 7965 And Iehu 3058 said, 559 z8799 What x4100 hast thou to doe with peace? 7965 turne 5437 z8798 thee behinde 310 x413 me. And the watchman 6822 z8802 tolde, 5046 z8686 saying, 559 z8800 The messenger 4397 came 935 z8804 to x5704 them, x1992 but he commeth not againe. 7725 z8804 x3808

 9:19 Then he sent out 7971 z8799 a second 8145 on horsebacke, 7392 5483 z8802 which came 935 z8799 to x413 them, and sayd, 559 z8799 Thus x3541 sayth 559 z8804 the king, 4428 [Is it] peace? 7965 And Iehu 3058 answered, 559 z8799 What x4100 hast thou to doe with peace? 7965 turne 5437 z8798 thee behinde 310 x413 me.

 9:20 And the watchman 6822 z8802 tolde, 5046 z8686 saying, 559 z8800 He came 935 z8804 euen x5704 vnto x413 them, and commeth not againe: 7725 z8804 x3808 and the driuing 4491 is like the driuing 4491 of Iehu 3058 the sonne 1121 of Nimshi; 5250 for x3588 he driueth 5090 z8799 furiously. 7697

 9:21 And Ioram 3088 said, 559 z8799 Make readie. 631 z8798 And his charet 7393 was made ready. 631 z8799 And Ioram 3088 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 and Ahaziah 274 king 4428 of Iudah, 3063 went out, 3318 z8799 each 376 in his charet, 7393 and they went out 3318 z8799 against y7125 z8800 x7122 Iehu, 3058 and met 4672 z8799 him in the portion 2513 of Naboth 5022 the Iezreelite. 3158

 9:22 And it came to passe x1961 when Ioram 3088 saw 7200 z8800 x853 Iehu, 3058 that hee said, 559 z8799 [Is it] peace, 7965 Iehu? 3058 And he answered, 559 z8799 What x4100 peace, 7965 so long as 5704 the whoredomes 2183 of thy mother 517 Iezebel, 348 and her witchcrafts 3785 [are so] many? 7227

 9:23 And Ioram 3088 turned 2015 z8799 his hand, 3027 and fled, 5127 z8799 and said 559 z8799 to x413 Ahaziah, 274 There is treachery, 4820 O Ahaziah. 274

 9:24 And Iehu 3058 drew a bowe 7198 with his full 4390 z8765 strength, 3027 and smote 5221 z8686 x853 Iehoram 3088 betweene x996 his armes, 2220 and the arrow 2678 went out 3318 z8799 at his heart, 3820 x4480 and hee sunke downe 3766 z8799 in his charet. 7393

 9:25 Then said 559 z8799 [Iehu] to x413 Bidkar 920 his captaine, 7991 Take vp, 5375 z8798 [and] cast 7993 z8685 him in the portion 2513 of the field 7704 of Naboth 5022 the Iezreelite: 3158 for x3588 remember, 2142 z8798 how that when I x589 and thou x859 x853 rode 7392 z8802 together 6776 after 310 Ahab 256 his father, 1 the LORD 3068 laide 5375 z8804 x853 this x2088 burden 4853 vpon x5921 him:

 9:26 Surely x518 x3808 I haue seene 7200 z8804 yesterday 570 x853 the blood 1818 of Naboth, 5022 and the blood 1818 of his sonnes, 1121 sayd 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 and I will requite 7999 z8765 thee in this x2063 plat, 2513 sayth 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068 Now x6258 therefore take 5375 z8798 [and] cast 7993 z8685 him into the plat 2513 [of ground], according to the word 1697 of the LORD. 3068

 9:27 ¶ But when Ahaziah 274 the king 4428 of Iudah 3063 saw 7200 z8804 [this], hee fled 5127 z8799 by the way 1870 of the garden 1588 house: 1004 and Iehu 3058 followed 7291 z8799 after 310 him, and said, 559 z8799 Smite 5221 z8685 him also x1571 in x413 the charet; 4818 [and they did so], at the going vp 4608 to Gur, 1483 which x834 is by x854 Ibleam: 2991 And hee fled 5127 z8799 to Megiddo, 4023 and died 4191 z8799 there. x8033

 9:28 And his seruants 5650 caried y7392 z8686 him in a charet x7392 x853 to Ierusalem, 3389 and buried 6912 z8799 him in his sepulchre 6900 with x5973 his fathers, 1 in the citie 5892 of Dauid. 1732

 9:29 And in the eleuenth 259 6240 y8141 yeere 8141 of Ioram 3141 the sonne 1121 of Ahab, 256 began Ahaziah 274 to reigne 4427 z8804 ouer x5921 Iudah. 3063

 9:30 ¶ And when Iehu 3058 was come 935 z8799 to Iezreel, 3157 Iezebel 348 heard 8085 z8804 [of it], and shee painted 7760 6320 z8799 her face, 5869 and tyred 3190 z8686 x853 her head, 7218 and looked out 8259 z8686 at x1157 a window. 2474

 9:31 And as Iehu 3058 entred in 935 z8804 at the gate, 8179 she said, 559 z8799 Had Zimri 2174 peace, 7965 who slew 2026 z8802 his master? 113

 9:32 And he lift vp 5375 z8799 his face 6440 to x413 the window, 2474 and said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 is on my side, x854 who? x4310 And there looked out 8259 z8686 to x413 him two 8147 [or] three 7969 Eunuches. 5631

 9:33 And he said, 559 z8799 Throw her downe. 8058 z8798 So they threw her downe, 8058 z8799 and [some] of her blood 1818 x4480 was sprinkled 5137 z8799 on x413 the wall, 7023 and on x413 the horses: 5483 and he trode her vnder foote. 7429 z8799

 9:34 And when he was come in, 935 z8799 hee did eate 398 z8799 and drinke, 8354 z8799 and saide, 559 z8799 Goe, y6485 z8798 see x6485 now x4994 x853 this x2063 cursed 779 z8803 [woman], and burie 6912 z8798 her: for x3588 she x1931 [is] a kings 4428 daughter. 1323

 9:35 And they went y3212 z8799 x1980 to burie 6912 z8800 her, but they found 4672 z8804 no more x3808 of her then 518 x3588 the skul, 1538 and the feete, 7272 & the palmes 3709 of [her] hands. 3027

 9:36 Wherefore they came againe, 7725 z8799 and told 5046 z8686 him: and he said, 559 z8799 This x1931 [is] the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 his seruant 5650 Elijah 452 the Tishbite, 8664 saying, 559 z8800 In the portion 2506 of Iezreel 3157 shall dogs 3611 eate 398 z8799 x853 the flesh 1320 of Iezebel: 348

 9:37 And the carkeise 5038 of Iezebel 348 shall be x1961 as doung 1828 vpon x5921 the face 6440 of the field 7704 in the portion 2506 of Iezreel, 3157 [so] that x834 they shall not x3808 say, 559 z8799 This x2063 [is] Iezebel. 348
