  10:1 ¶
And Ahab{gr.Achaab} [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu{gr.Ju} wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Ahab{gr.Achaab}, saying. |
|
10:1 ¶
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,°° |
|
10:2
Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms, |
|
10:2
Now°
as soon as this°
letter°
cometh°°
to°
you, seeing your adon's°
sons°
[are] with°
you, and [there are] with°
you chariots°
and horses,°
a fenced°
city°
also, and armour;° |
|
10:3
do ye accordingly look out the best and fittest among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master. |
|
10:3
Look even out°°
the best°
and meetest°
of your adon's°
sons,°°°
and set°°
[him] on°
his father's°
throne,°
and fight°°
for°
your adon's°
house.° |
|
10:4
And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand? |
|
10:4
But they were exceedingly°
afraid,°°
and said,°°
Behold,°
two°
kings°
stood°°
not°
before°
him: how°
then shall we°
stand?°° |
|
10:5
So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Jehu{gr.Ju}, saying, We also [are] thy servants, and whatsoever thou shalt say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in thine eyes. |
|
10:5
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.° |
|
10:6
And Jehu{gr.Ju} wrote them a second letter, saying, If ye [are] for me, and hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up. |
|
10:6
Then he wrote°°
a letter°
the second time°
to°
them, saying,°°
If°
ye°
[be] mine, and [if] ye°
will hearken°°
unto my voice,°
take°°
ye°
the heads°
of the men°°
your adon's°
sons,°
and come°°
to°
me to Jezreel°
by to morrow°
this time.°
Now the king's°
sons,°
[being] seventy°
persons,°
[were] with°
the great men°
of the city,°
which brought them up.°°° |
|
10:7
And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}. |
|
10:7
And it came to pass,°
when the letter°
came°°
to°
them, that they took°°°
the king's°
sons,°
and slew°°
seventy°
persons,°
and put°°°
their heads°
in baskets,°
and sent°°°
him [them] to Jezreel.° |
|
10:8 ¶
And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the morning. |
|
10:8 ¶
And there came°°
a messenger,°
and told°°
him, saying,°°
They have brought°°
the heads°
of the king's°
sons.°
And he said,°°
Lay°°
ye them in two°
heaps°
at the entering in°
of the gate°
until°
the morning.° |
|
10:9
And the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these? |
|
10:9
And it came to pass°
in the morning,°
that he went out,°°
and stood,°°
and said°°
to°
all°
the people,°
Ye°
[be] righteous:°
behold,°
I°
conspired°°
against°
my adon,°
and slew°°
him: but who°
slew°°°
all°
these?° |
|
10:10
See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Ahab{gr.Achaab}: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Elijah{gr.Eliu}. |
|
10:10
Know°°
now°
that°
there shall fall°°
unto the earth°
nothing°
of the word°°
of Yahweh,°
which°
Yahweh°
spake°°
concerning°
the house°
of Ahab:°
for Yahweh°
hath done°°°
[that] which°
he spake°°
by°
his servant°
Elijah.° |
|
10:11
And Jehu{gr.Ju} smote all that were left of the house of Ahab{gr.Achaab} in Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant. |
|
10:11
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.° |
|
10:12 ¶
And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way. |
|
10:12 ¶
And he arose°°
and departed,°°
and came°°°
to Samaria.°
[And] as he°
[was] at the shearing°°
house°°°
in the way,° |
|
10:13
And Jehu{gr.Ju} found the brethren of Ahaziah{gr.Ochozias} king of Judah{gr.Juda}, and said, Who [are] ye? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ahaziah{gr.Ochozias}, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen. |
|
10:13
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.° |
|
10:14
And he said, Take them alive. And they slew them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man of them. |
|
10:14
And he said,°°
Take°°
them alive.°
And they took°°
them alive,°
and slew°°
them at°
the pit°
of the shearing house,°
[even] two°
and forty°
men;°
neither°
left°°
he any°
of°
them. |
|
10:15 ¶
And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Jehu{gr.Ju} said to him, Is thy heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with thy heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Jehu{gr.Ju} said, If it is then, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot. |
|
10:15 ¶
And when he was departed°°°
thence,°°
he lighted°°
on°°
Jehonadab°
the son°
of Rechab°
[coming] to meet°°°
him: and he saluted°°
him, and said°°
to°
him, Is°°
thine heart°
right,°
as°
my heart°
[is] with°
thy heart?°
And Jehonadab°
answered,°°
It is.°
If it be,°
give°°
[me]°
thine hand.°
And he gave°°
[him] his hand;°
and he took him up°°
to°
him into°
the chariot.° |
|
10:16
And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit in his chariot. |
|
10:16
And he said,°°
Come°°°
with°
me, and see°°
my zeal°
for Yahweh.°
So they made him ride°°
in his chariot.° |
|
10:17
And he entered into Samaria, and smote all that were left of Ahab{gr.Achaab} in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Elijah{gr.Eliu}. |
|
10:17
And when he came°°
to Samaria,°
he slew°°°
all°
that remained°°
unto Ahab°
in Samaria,°
till°
he had destroyed°°
him, according to the saying°
of Yahweh,°
which°
he spake°°
to°
Elijah.° |
|
10:18 ¶
And Jehu{gr.Ju} gathered all the people, and said to them, Ahab{gr.Achaab} served Baal a little; Jehu{gr.Ju} shall serve him much. |
|
10:18 ¶
And Jehu°
gathered°°°
all°
the people°
together,°°
and said°°
unto°
them, Ahab°
served°°°
Baal°
a little;°
[but] Jehu°
shall serve°°
him much.°° |
|
10:19
Now then do all [ye] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Jehu{gr.Ju} did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal. |
|
10:19
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.° |
|
10:20
And Jehu{gr.Ju} said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation. |
|
10:20
And Jehu°
said,°°
Proclaim°°
a solemn assembly°
for Baal.°
And they proclaimed°°
[it]. |
|
10:21
And Jehu{gr.Ju} sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whosoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other. |
|
10:21
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.° |
|
10:22
And he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them. |
|
10:22
And he said°°
unto him that°
[was] over°
the vestry,°
Bring forth°°
vestments°
for all°
the worshippers°°
of Baal.°
And he brought them forth°°
vestments.° |
|
10:23
And Jehu{gr.Ju} and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves. |
|
10:23
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 Yahweh,°
but°°
the worshippers°°
of Baal°
only.° |
|
10:24
And he went in to offer sacrifices and whole-burnt-offerings; and Jehu{gr.Ju} set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life. |
|
10:24
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. |
|
10:25
And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Jehu{gr.Ju} said to the footmen and to the officers, Go ye in and slay them; let not a man of them escape. So they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house of Baal. |
|
10:25
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.° |
|
10:26
And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it. |
|
10:26
And they brought forth°°°
the images°
out of the house°
of Baal,°
and burned°°
them. |
|
10:27
And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day. |
|
10:27
And they brake down°°°
the image°
of Baal,°
and brake down°°°
the house°
of Baal,°
and made°°
it a draught house°°°
unto°
this day.° |
|
10:28
So Jehu{gr.Ju} abolished Baal out of Israel. |
|
10:28
Thus Jehu°
destroyed°°°
Baal°
out of Israel.°° |
|
10:29 ¶
Nevertheless Jehu{gr.Ju} departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat{gr.Nabat}, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Bethel{gr.Baethel} and in Dan. |
|
10:29 ¶
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 Bethel,°
and that°
[were] in Dan.° |
|
10:30
And the Lord said to Jehu{gr.Ju}, Because of all thy deeds wherein thou hast acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which thou hast done to the house of Ahab{gr.Achaab} [as they were] in my heart, thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. |
|
10:30
And Yahweh°
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.° |
|
10:31
But Jehu{gr.Ju} took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. |
|
10:31
But Jehu°
took no heed°°°
to walk°°°
in the law°
of Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel°
with all°
his heart:°
for he departed°°
not°
from°°
the sins°
of Jeroboam,°
which°
made°
Israel°
to sin.°° |
|
10:32 ¶
In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Hazael{gr.Azael} smote them in every coast of Israel; |
|
10:32 ¶
In those°
days°
Yahweh°
began°°
to cut°°
Israel°
short:°°°
and Hazael°
smote°°
them in all°
the coasts°
of Israel;° |
|
10:33
from Jordan eastward all the land of Gilead{gr.Galaad} belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Reuben{gr.Ruben}, and of Manasseh{gr.Manasses}, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Gilead{gr.Galaad} and Bashan{gr.Basan}. |
|
10:33
From°
Jordan°
eastward,°°°
all°
the land°
of Gilead,°
the Gadites,°
and the Reubenites,°
and the Manassites,°
from Aroer,°°
which°
[is] by°
the river°
Arnon,°
even Gilead°
and Bashan.° |
|
10:34
And the rest of the acts of Jehu{gr.Ju}, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
|
10:34
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?° |
|
10:35
And Jehu{gr.Ju} slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Jehoahaz{gr.Joachaz} his son reigned in his stead. |
|
10:35
And Jehu°
slept°°
with°
his fathers:°
and they buried°°
him in Samaria.°
And Jehoahaz°
his son°
reigned°°
in his stead.° |
|
10:36
And the days which Jehu{gr.Ju} reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria. |
|
10:36
And the time°
that°
Jehu°
reigned°°
over°
Israel°
in Samaria°
[was] twenty°
and eight°
years.° |
