And Jehu3058 wrote3789 letters5612, and sent7971 to Samaria8111, unto the rulers8269 of Jezreel3157, to the elders2205, and to them that brought up0539 Ahab's0256 {children}, saying0559, 10:2 Now as soon as this letter5612 cometh0935 to you, seeing your master's0113 sons1121 {are} with you, and {there are} with you chariots7393 and horses5483, a fenced4013 city5892 also, and armour5402; 10:3 Look even out7200 the best2896 and meetest3477 of your master's0113 sons1121, and set7760 {him} on his father's0001 throne3678, and fight3898 for your master's0113 house1004. 10:4 But they were exceedingly3966-3966 afraid3372, and said0559, Behold, two8147 kings4428 stood5975 not before6440 him: how then shall we stand5975? 10:5 And he that {was} over the house1004, and he that {was} over the city5892, the elders2205 also, and the bringers up0539 {of the children}, sent7971 to Jehu3058, saying0559, We {are} thy servants5650, and will do6213 all that thou shalt bid0559 us; we will not make any0376 king4427: do6213 thou {that which is} good2896 in thine eyes5869. 10:6 Then he wrote3789 a letter5612 the second time8145 to them, saying0559, If ye {be} mine, and {if} ye will hearken8085 unto my voice6963, take3947 ye the heads7218 of the men0582 your master's0113 sons1121, and come0935 to me to Jezreel3157 by to morrow4279 this time6256. Now the king's4428 sons1121, {being} seventy7657 persons0376, {were} with the great men1419 of the city5892, which brought them up1431. 10:7 And it came to pass, when the letter5612 came0935 to them, that they took3947 the king's4428 sons1121, and slew7819 seventy7657 persons0376, and put7760 their heads7218 in baskets1731, and sent7971 him {them} to Jezreel3157. 10:8 And there came0935 a messenger4397, and told5046 him, saying0559, They have brought0935 the heads7218 of the king's4428 sons1121. And he said0559, Lay7760 ye them in two8147 heaps6652 at the entering in6607 of the gate8179 until the morning1242. 10:9 And it came to pass in the morning1242, that he went out3318, and stood5975, and said0559 to all the people5971, Ye {be} righteous6662: behold, I conspired7194 against my master0113, and slew2026 him: but who slew5221 all these? 10:10 Know3045 now0645 that there shall fall5307 unto the earth0776 nothing of the word1697 of the LORD3068, which the LORD3068 spake1696 concerning the house1004 of Ahab0256: for the LORD3068 hath done6213 {that} which he spake1696 by3027 his servant5650 Elijah0452. 10:11 So Jehu3058 slew5221 all that remained7604 of the house1004 of Ahab0256 in Jezreel3157, and all his great men1419, and his kinsfolks3045, and his priests3548, until he left7604 him none remaining8300. 10:12 And he arose6965 and departed0935, and came3212 to Samaria8111. {And} as he {was} at the shearing7462 house1004-1044 in the way1870, 10:13 Jehu3058 met4672 with the brethren0251 of Ahaziah0274 king4428 of Judah3063, and said0559, Who {are} ye? And they answered0559, We {are} the brethren0251 of Ahaziah0274; and we go down3381 to salute7965 the children1121 of the king4428 and the children1121 of the queen1377. 10:14 And he said0559, Take8610 them alive2416. And they took8610 them alive2416, and slew7819 them at the pit0953 of the shearing house1044, {even} two8147 and forty0705 men0376; neither left7604 he any0376 of them. 10:15 And when he was departed3212 thence, he lighted4672 on Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 {coming} to meet7125 him: and he saluted1288 him, and said0559 to him, Is3426 thine heart3824 right3477, as my heart3824 {is} with thy heart3824? And Jehonadab3082 answered0559, It is3426. If it be, give5414 {me} thine hand3027. And he gave5414 {him} his hand3027; and he took him up5927 to him into the chariot4818. 10:16 And he said0559, Come3212 with me, and see7200 my zeal7068 for the LORD3068. So they made him ride7392 in his chariot7393. 10:17 And when he came0935 to Samaria8111, he slew5221 all that remained7604 unto Ahab0256 in Samaria8111, till he had destroyed8045 him, according to the saying1697 of the LORD3068, which he spake1696 to Elijah0452. 10:18 And Jehu3058 gathered6908 all the people5971 together6908, and said0559 unto them, Ahab0256 served5647 Baal1168 a little4592; {but} Jehu3058 shall serve5647 him much7235. 10:19 Now therefore call7121 unto me all the prophets5030 of Baal1168, all his servants5647, and all his priests3548; let none0376 be wanting6485: for I have a great1419 sacrifice2077 {to do} to Baal1168; whosoever shall be wanting6485, he shall not live2421. But Jehu3058 did6213 {it} in subtilty6122, to the intent that he might destroy0006 the worshippers5647 of Baal1168. 10:20 And Jehu3058 said0559, Proclaim6942 a solemn assembly6116 for Baal1168. And they proclaimed7121 {it}. 10:21 And Jehu3058 sent7971 through all Israel3478: and all the worshippers5647 of Baal1168 came0935, so that there was not a man0376 left7604 that came0935 not. And they came0935 into the house1004 of Baal1168; and the house1004 of Baal1168 was full4390 from one end6310 to another6310. 10:22 And he said0559 unto him that {was} over the vestry4458, Bring forth3318 vestments3830 for all the worshippers5647 of Baal1168. And he brought them forth3318 vestments4403. 10:23 And Jehu3058 went0935, and Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394, into the house1004 of Baal1168, and said0559 unto the worshippers5647 of Baal1168, Search2664, and look7200 that there be3426 here with you none of the servants5650 of the LORD3068, but the worshippers5647 of Baal1168 only. 10:24 And when they went in0935 to offer6213 sacrifices2077 and burnt offerings5930, Jehu3058 appointed7760 fourscore8084 men0376 without2351, and said0559, {If} any0376 of the men0582 whom I have brought0935 into your hands3027 escape4422, {he that letteth him go}, his life5315 {shall be} for the life5315 of him. 10:25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering6213 the burnt offering5930, that Jehu3058 said0559 to the guard7323 and to the captains7991, Go in0935, {and} slay5221 them; let none0376 come forth3318. And they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword2719; and the guard7323 and the captains7991 cast {them} out7993, and went3212 to the city5892 of the house1004 of Baal1168. 10:26 And they brought forth3318 the images4676 out of the house1004 of Baal1168, and burned8313 them. 10:27 And they brake down5422 the image4676 of Baal1168, and brake down5422 the house1004 of Baal1168, and made7760 it a draught house4163-4280 unto this day3117. 10:28 Thus Jehu3058 destroyed8045 Baal1168 out of Israel3478. 10:29 Howbeit {from} the sins2399 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028, who made Israel3478 to sin2398, Jehu3058 departed5493 not from after0310 them, {to wit}, the golden2091 calves5695 that {were} in Bethel1008, and that {were} in Dan1835. 10:30 And the LORD3068 said0559 unto Jehu3058, Because thou hast done well2895 in executing6213 {that which is} right3477 in mine eyes5869, {and} hast done6213 unto the house1004 of Ahab0256 according to all that {was} in mine heart3824, thy children1121 of the fourth7243 {generation} shall sit3427 on the throne3678 of Israel3478. 10:31 But Jehu3058 took no heed8104 to walk3212 in the law8451 of the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478 with all his heart3824: for he departed5493 not from the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379, which made Israel3478 to sin2398. 10:32 In those days3117 the LORD3068 began2490 to cut7096 Israel3478 short7096: and Hazael2371 smote5221 them in all the coasts1366 of Israel3478; 10:33 From Jordan3383 eastward4217-8121, all the land0776 of Gilead1568, the Gadites1425, and the Reubenites7206, and the Manassites4520, from Aroer6177, which {is} by the river5158 Arnon0769, even Gilead1568 and Bashan1316. 10:34 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehu3058, and all that he did6213, and all his might1369, {are} they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697-3117 of the kings4428 of Israel3478? 10:35 And Jehu3058 slept7901 with his fathers0001: and they buried6912 him in Samaria8111. And Jehoahaz3059 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. 10:36 And the time3117 that Jehu3058 reigned4427 over Israel3478 in Samaria8111 {was} twenty6242 and eight8083 years8141.
