% And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “There is treachery, O_Ahaziah.”
24 And Jehu / drew a xbow with his full_strength, and smote -Jehoram be- tween his arms, and the arrow went_ out at his heart, and he sunk_down in his chariot.
2 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his cap- tain, “-Take_up, and -cast him in the_ portion_of the_field_of Naboth the Jez- reelite ; for remember how that, when ¥ and thou rode_together after Ahab his father, / the Lorp laid xthis *burden upon him ;
26 “Surely I -haye_seen yesterday «the_ =blood_of Naboth, and -the_blood_of his sons, -saith J the Lorp ; and [ -will_ requite thee in xthis po xplat, saith / the Lorp? Now therefore -take and «cast him into the ro plat of ground, accord- ing-to the_word_of J the Lorp.”
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 thechariot.” And they (id so at the going_up to Gur, which 7s by ~Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
23 And his servants carried him in_a_ chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the_ city_of David.
29 And in the_eleventh year of Joram the_son_of Ahab began Ahaziah to_ reign over Judah.

32 And he ae UP. his face to the window, and said, “Who zs on my side? who?” And there looked_out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 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.
34 And when he was_come-in, he did_ eat and drink, and said, “-Go, -see now xthis cursed woman, and -bury her: for sle-is a king’s daughter.”
85 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the_palms_of her xhands.
36 Wherefore they came_again, and told him. And he said, “Tliis is the_ word_of 4 the Lorp, which He spake by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “In the_portion_of Jezreel shall xdogs eat -the_flesh_of Jezebel:
87 And the_carcase_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.’ ”
