II. Krnas IX. 22.

8 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 Israél :
8 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 :
10 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 fied.
11 Then Jehu came_forth to the_ser- yants_of his =lord : and one said unto him, “Is pall_well? wherefore came xthis xmad fellow to thee?” And he said unto them, “#e know -the iman, and his -communication.”
2 And they said, “Jt zs false ; «tell us now.” And he said, “Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus »saith / the Lorp, I -haye_anointed thee ‘king over Israél.”
18 Then they hasted, and took # every_ man his garment, and put 7t under him on the_top_of the stairs, and blew with xtrumpets, saying, “Jehu *+is_king.”
14 So Jehu the_son_of Jehoshaphat the_son_of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had +kept Ra- moth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazaél king_of Syria.
15 But xking Joram was_returned to be_healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had_given him, when he fought_with ~Hazaél king_of Syria.) And Jehu said, “If it be your minds, then ‘et none go_forth nor escape out_ of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.”
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.
17 And there +stood a xwatchman on the tower in Jezreel,and he spied -the_ company_of Jehu as he came, and said, “E see a company.” And Joram said, “sTake a horseman, and -send to meet them, and let_him_say, ‘Is it peace ?’”
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, “Thus -saith the king, Is 7 peace?” And Jehu said, “What hast_thou_to_do with peace? ‘turn thee behind me.” And the watch- man told, saying, “ The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.”
19 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.”
20 And the watchman told, saying, “He came even unto them,and cometh not again: and the driving ts like the_ driving_of Jehu the_son_of Nimshi; for he 'driveth ¢ furiously.”
21 And Joram said, “+Make_ready.” And his chariot was_made_ready. And Joram king_of Israél and Ahaziah king_of Judah went_out, each in his
chariot, and they went_out against! 7. Jehu, and met him in the_portion_of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 And it came_to_pass, when Joram saw -Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, And he answered, “What
Jehu?”
