Young's Literal Translation
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children
of the prophets, and said
unto
him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box
of oil in thine
hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
And Elisha the prophet hath
called to
one of the sons
of the prophets, and saith
to
him, `
Gird up thy loins, and take this vial
of oil in thy
hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead,
And 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 ;
and thou hast
gone
in
there
, and
see
thou
there Jehu son of Jehoshaphat ,
son of Nimshi, and thou
hast
gone
in, and caused
him to
rise
out
of
the
midst
of
his brethren, and brought
him in
to the
inner
part
of
an inner -
chamber ,
Then
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.
and
taken
the vial
of oil, and poured
on his head, and said
, Thus said
Jehovah
, I have anointed thee for
king unto
Israel ;
and
thou
hast
opened
the door, and fled
, and dost
not wait
. '
So
the young man ,
even
the young man the prophet ,
went
to Ramothgilead.
And
the young man goeth
--
the young man the prophet --
to Ramoth-Gilead,
And 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
, Unto which of all us? And he said
, To
thee, O captain
.
and cometh
in
, and
lo
, chiefs
of the force
are
sitting ,
and he saith
, `
I have a
word
unto
thee, O chief!'
and Jehu saith
, `
Unto which of all of
us? '
and he saith
, `Unto
thee, O chief
. '
And he arose,
and went
into
the house ;
and he poured
the oil on his head, and said
unto
him, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over
the people of the
LORD
, even
over
Israel .
And he riseth
and cometh
in
to
the house ,
and he poureth
the oil on his head, and saith
to
him, `
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, I have anointed thee for
king unto
the people of Jehovah
, unto
Israel ,
And 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 .
and thou hast
smitten
the house of Ahab thy lord
, and
I have
required
the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah
, from
the hand of Jezebel ;
For
the whole
house of Ahab shall
perish:
and I will
cut off from
Ahab him
that
pisseth
against
the wall, and him
that
is
shut
up
and left in Israel :
and
perished
hath
all
the house of Ahab ,
and I have
cut off to
Ahab those
sitting
on
the wall, and restrained,
and left ,
in Israel ,
And 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 :
and I have
given
up
the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as
the house of Baasha son of Ahijah ,
And 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
.
and Jezebel
do
the dogs eat in the portion of Jezreel, and there is
none burying;'
and he openeth
the door and fleeth
.
Then
Jehu came
forth
to
the servants of his lord :
and one said
unto
him, Is all
well
? wherefore came this mad
fellow
to
thee? And he said
unto them, Ye know
the man ,
and his communication
.
And
Jehu hath
gone
out
unto
the servants of his lord ,
and `
one '
saith
to
him, `
Is there
peace
? wherefore came this madman
unto
thee? '
and he saith
unto them, `
Ye have
known
the man and his talk
. '
And they said
, It
is
false ;
tell
us now.
And he said
, Thus and thus spake he to
me, saying, Thus saith
the
LORD
, I have anointed thee king over
Israel.
And they say
, `
False ,
declare,
we
pray
thee,
to
us ;'
and he saith
, `
Thus and thus spake he unto
me, saying, Thus said
Jehovah
, I have anointed thee for
king unto
Israel. '
Then
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.
And
they haste
and take
each
his garment, and put `
it '
under him at
the top of the stairs, and blow
with a
trumpet
, and
say
, `Reigned
hath
Jehu !'
So
Jehu the
son of Jehoshaphat the
son of Nimshi conspired
against Joram .
( Now
Joram had
kept
Ramothgilead
, he and all Israel, because
of Hazael king of Syria.
And
Jehu son of Jehoshaphat ,
son of Nimshi ,
conspireth
against Joram --
( and
Joram was
keeping
in
Ramoth-Gilead
, he and all Israel, from
the
presence
of Hazael king of Aram,
But
king Joram was
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 be
your minds
, then
let none
go forth
nor
escape
out of
the city to go to tell
it in Jezreel.
and
king Joram turneth
back
to be healed in Jezreel ,
of the wounds with
which the Aramaeans
smite
him, in
his
fighting
with Hazael king of Aram
) --
and Jehu saith
, `
If it is
your mind
, let not
an
escaped
one
go out from
the city ,
to go to declare
`
it '
in Jezreel. '
So
Jehu rode
in
a
chariot
, and went
to Jezreel ;
for Joram lay
there .
And Ahaziah king of Judah was
come
down to see Joram.
And
Jehu rideth
, and goeth
to Jezreel ,
for Joram is
lying
there ,
and Ahaziah king of Judah hath
gone
down to see Joram.
And 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 an
horseman,
and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it
peace?
And the
watchman is
standing
on the tower in Jezreel, and seeth
the company of Jehu in
his
coming
, and saith
, `
A company I
see;'
and Joram saith
, `
Take a
rider
and send to meet them, and let him say, Is there
peace? '
So
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 cometh
not again
.
and
the
rider
on the
horse
goeth
to meet him, and saith
, `
Thus said
the king, Is there
peace? '
and Jehu saith
, `
What --
to thee
and
to
peace? turn round
behind me. '
And the watchman declareth
, saying, `
The messenger came unto
them, and
he hath
not returned
. '
Then
he sent
out
a second on horseback
, which
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.
And
he sendeth
a second rider
on a
horse
, and
he
cometh
in
unto
them, and saith
, `
Thus said
the king, Is there
peace? '
and Jehu saith
, `
What --
to thee
and
to
peace? turn round
behind me. '
And the watchman told
, saying, He came even
unto them, and cometh
not again:
and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the
son of Nimshi ;
for he driveth furiously
.
And the watchman declareth
, saying, `
He came unto them, and he
hath
not returned,
and the driving `
is '
like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi ,
for with
madness
he driveth. '
And 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.
And Jehoram
saith
, `Harness;'
and his chariot is
harnessed,
and Jehoram
king of Israel goeth
out,
and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go
out to
meet
Jehu, and find
him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
And it came
to pass, when
Joram
saw
Jehu, that he said
, Is it
peace, Jehu? And he answered
, What peace, so
long
as
the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel
and her witchcrafts are so
many?
And it cometh
to pass, at
Jehoram's
seeing
Jehu, that he saith
, `
Is there
peace, Jehu? '
and he saith
, `
What `is'
the
peace, while
the whoredoms of Jezebel
thy mother ,
and her witchcrafts ,
are many? '
And Joram
turned
his hands, and fled
, and said
to
Ahaziah, There
is
treachery
, O Ahaziah .
And Jehoram
turneth
his hands, and fleeth
, and saith
unto
Ahaziah, `Deceit
, O Ahaziah !'
And 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.
And Jehu hath
filled
his
hand
with
a bow, and smiteth
Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth
out from
his heart, and he boweth
down in his chariot.
Then
said
Jehu to
Bidkar his captain, Take
up, and
cast him in
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 ;
And
`
Jehu '
saith
unto
Bidkar his captain, `Lift
up, cast him into
the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite --
for ,
remember, I and thou were
riding
together after Ahab his father, and
Jehovah
lifted
upon him this
burden:
Surely
I
have seen
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
.
Have I
not
the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen
yesternight
--
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
yea,
I have
recompensed
to
thee in this portion
--
the affirmation
of
Jehovah;
--
and now,
lift
up,
cast him into the portion
, according to the word of Jehovah
. '
But
when
Ahaziah the
king of Judah saw
this
, he
fled
by
the way of the garden house .
And Jehu followed
after 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 .
And
Ahaziah king of Judah hath
seen
, and
fleeth
the way of the garden -
house ,
and Jehu pursueth
after him, and saith
, `
Smite him --
also him
--
in the chariot ,'
in
the going up to Gur, that
`
is '
Ibleam ,
and he fleeth
to Megiddo, and dieth
there ,
And his servants carried
him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried
him in his sepulchre
with his fathers in the city of David.
and his servants carry
him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury
him in his burying-place,
with his fathers ,
in the city of David.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the
son of Ahab began
Ahaziah
to
reign over Judah.
And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did
Ahaziah
over Judah.
And when
Jehu was
come
to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of
it;
and she
painted
her face,
and tired
her head, and looked
out at
a
window.
And Jehu cometh
in
to Jezreel, and
Jezebel hath
heard ,
and putteth
her eyes
in
paint
and maketh
right
her head, and looketh
out through
the
window.
And as
Jehu entered
in
at
the gate, she said
, Had
Zimri
peace ,
who
slew
his master
?
And Jehu hath
come
into
the gate, and
she saith
, `Was
there
peace `to'
Zimri
--
slayer
of
his lord
? '
And 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 .
And he lifteth
up his face unto
the window, and saith
, `
Who `
is '
with
me
? --
who? '
and look
out unto
him do
two `
or '
three eunuchs ;
And 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 trode
her under
foot
.
And he saith
, `Let
her go;'
and
they let
her go,
and `
some '
of her blood is
sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses ,
and he treadeth
her down
.
And when
he was
come
in, he
did
eat
and drink
, and said
, Go
, see
now
this cursed woman
, and bury her :
for she is a king's daughter.
And he cometh
in, and eateth
, and drinketh
, and
saith
, `Look
after,
I
pray
you,
this cursed one
, and bury her ,
for she `
is '
a king's daughter. '
And they went
to bury her :
but
they
found no
more
of her than
the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her
hands.
And they go
to bury her ,
and
have
not
found of her except
the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the
hands.
Wherefore
they came
again
, and told
him .
And he said
, This
is
the word of the
LORD
, which
he spake by his
servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall
dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel :
And
they turn
back
, and declare
to
him ,
and he saith
, `
The word of Jehovah
it
`is'
, that
He spake by the
hand
of
this
servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do
the
dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel ,
And 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.
and the carcase
of Jezebel hath
been
as dung on
the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel ,
that they say not
, This `
is '
Jezebel. '
