⁷ And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

¹ And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen seventeen years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ So there went one on horseback 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Then he sent out a second on horseback, 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And Obed begat Jehu, and Jehu begat Azariah,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, for he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
