II Kings 9

1And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:

1 Samuel 10:1, 1 Samuel 10:1, 2 Kings 4:29, 2 Kings 4:29, 1 Samuel 16:1

2And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;

2 Kings 9:14, 1 Kings 19:16, 1 Kings 19:17, 2 Kings 9:5, 2 Kings 9:11

3Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

1 Kings 19:16, 1 Kings 19:16, 1 Samuel 16:2, 2 Kings 8:13, Exodus 29:7

4So the young man, [even] the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.

5And when he came, behold, the captains of the host [were] sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain.

Judges 3:19, Judges 3:19

6And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, [even] over Israel.

2 Kings 9:3, 1 Kings 19:16, 2 Chronicles 22:7, 2 Kings 9:3, 1 Kings 19:16

7And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

1 Kings 18:4, Deuteronomy 32:43, 1 Kings 21:15, 1 Kings 18:4, Deuteronomy 32:43

8For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:

1 Samuel 25:22, Deuteronomy 32:36, 1 Samuel 25:22, Deuteronomy 32:36, 2 Kings 14:26

9And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:

1 Kings 15:29, 1 Kings 15:29, 1 Kings 21:22, 1 Kings 21:22, 1 Kings 14:10

10And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled.

2 Kings 9:35, 2 Kings 9:36, 1 Kings 21:23, 2 Kings 9:35, 2 Kings 9:36

11Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and [one] said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad [man] to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.

Jeremiah 29:26, Jeremiah 29:26, John 10:20, Hosea 9:7, Acts 26:24

12And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.

13Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put [it] under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.

1 Kings 1:34, 1 Kings 1:39, Mark 11:7, Mark 11:8, 1 Kings 1:34

14So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.

2 Kings 8:28, 2 Kings 8:28, 1 Kings 22:3, 1 Kings 22:3, 2 Kings 8:12

15But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is your minds, [then] let none go forth [nor] escape from the city to go to tell [it] in Jezreel.

2 Kings 8:29, 2 Kings 8:29, 1 Samuel 27:9, 1 Samuel 27:11, 2 Chronicles 22:6

16So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

2 Chronicles 22:6, 2 Chronicles 22:7, 2 Kings 8:28, 2 Kings 8:29, 2 Chronicles 22:6

17And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, [Is it] peace?

1 Samuel 16:4, 1 Samuel 16:4, 2 Kings 7:14, 1 Samuel 17:22, 2 Samuel 13:34

18So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he doth not return.

2 Kings 9:19, 2 Kings 9:22, 2 Kings 9:19, 2 Kings 9:22, Jeremiah 16:5

19Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.

20And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and doth not return? and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

2 Samuel 18:27, 2 Samuel 18:27, Ecclesiastes 9:10, 2 Kings 10:16, 1 Kings 19:17

21And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

2 Chronicles 22:7, 1 Kings 21:1, 1 Kings 21:7, 2 Chronicles 22:7, 1 Kings 21:1

22And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, [Is it] peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the lewd acts of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many?

2 Chronicles 21:13, Nahum 3:4, 2 Chronicles 21:13, Nahum 3:4, 1 Kings 16:30

23And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, [There is] treachery, O Ahaziah.

2 Kings 11:14, 2 Kings 11:14, 2 Chronicles 23:13, 2 Chronicles 23:13

24And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

1 Kings 22:34, 1 Kings 22:34, Ecclesiastes 8:12, Ecclesiastes 8:13, Psalms 50:22

25Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;

1 Kings 21:19, 1 Kings 21:19, 1 Kings 21:24, 1 Kings 21:29, Isaiah 13:1

26Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the LORD.

Ezekiel 18:19, 1 Kings 21:19, Deuteronomy 5:9, Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 24:16

27But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

Judges 1:27, Judges 1:27, Joshua 17:11, Joshua 17:11, Judges 5:19

28And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulcher with his fathers in the city of David.

2 Kings 23:30, 2 Chronicles 35:24, 2 Kings 23:30, 2 Chronicles 35:24, 2 Kings 23:20

29And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

2 Chronicles 21:18, 2 Chronicles 21:19, 2 Chronicles 21:18, 2 Chronicles 21:19, 2 Chronicles 22:1

30And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window.

Jeremiah 4:30, Jeremiah 4:30, Ezekiel 23:40, Ezekiel 23:40, Ezekiel 24:17

31And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?

1 Kings 16:9, 1 Kings 16:20, 1 Kings 16:9, 1 Kings 16:20

32And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs.

Psalms 118:6, Esther 2:15, Exodus 32:26, 1 Chronicles 12:18, Psalms 124:1

33And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.

Micah 7:10, Micah 7:10, 2 Kings 9:26, 2 Kings 7:20, 1 Kings 21:11

34And when he had come in, he ate, and drank, and said, Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king's daughter.

1 Kings 16:31, 1 Kings 16:31, 1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 21:25, Matthew 25:41

35And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands.

Jeremiah 22:19, Isaiah 14:18, Isaiah 14:20, Acts 12:23, Job 31:3

36Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

1 Kings 21:23, 1 Kings 21:23, Leviticus 8:36, Leviticus 8:36, 2 Samuel 12:25

37And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.

Jeremiah 8:2, Jeremiah 8:2, Jeremiah 16:4, Psalms 83:10, Jeremiah 16:4
