22
And when Joram saw Jehu, he said, Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts
are so many?
23
Then Joram turned his hands and fled and said to Ahaziah,
There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24
But Jehu drew his 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.
25
Then said
Jehu to Bidkar, his captain, Take him
and cast him in the edge of the portion of the field of Naboth of Jezreel. Remember that when thou and I went together after Ahab, his father, the LORD pronounced this sentence upon him, saying,
26
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, said the LORD, and I will requite thee in this portion, said the LORD. Now, therefore, take
and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the LORD.
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 ascent to Gur, which
is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28
And his slaves carried him to Jerusalem and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29
In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
30
And Jehu came to Jezreel, and when Jezebel heard
of it, she painted her face and tired her head and looked out of a window.
31
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said,
Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32
And he lifted up his face to the window and said, Who
is on my side? Who? And two
or three eunuchs looked at him.
