Chapter 10

1 And Ahab256 had seventy7657 sons1121 in Samaria.8111 And Jehu3058 wrote3789 letters,5612 and sent7971 to Samaria,8111 unto413 the rulers8269 of Jezreel,3157 to the elders,2205 and to413 them that brought up539 Ahab's256 children, saying,559

2 Now6258 as soon as this2088 letter5612 cometh935 to413 you, seeing your master's113 sons1121 are with854 you, and there are with854 you chariots7393 and horses,5483 a fenced4013 city5892 also, and armor;5402

3 Look even out7200 the best2896 and meetest3477 of your master's sons,4480 1121 113 and set7760 him on5921 his father's1 throne,3678 and fight3898 for5921 your master's113 house.1004

4 But they were exceedingly3966 3966 afraid,3372 and said,559 Behold,2009 two8147 kings4428 stood5975 not3808 before6440 him: how349 then shall we587 stand?5975

5 And he that834 was over5921 the house,1004 and he that834 was over5921 the city,5892 the elders2205 also, and the bringers up539 of the children, sent7971 to413 Jehu,3058 saying,559 We587 are thy servants,5650 and will do6213 all3605 that834 thou shalt bid559 413 us; we will not3808 make any king:4427 376 do6213 thou that which is good2896 in thine eyes.5869

6 Then he wrote3789 a letter5612 the second time8145 to413 them, saying,559 If518 ye859 be mine, and if ye859 will hearken8085 unto my voice,6963 take3947 ye853 the heads7218 of the men376 your master's113 sons,1121 and come935 to413 me to Jezreel3157 by tomorrow4279 this time.6256 Now the king's4428 sons,1121 being seventy7657 persons,376 were with854 the great men1419 of the city,5892 which brought them up.1431 853

7 And it came to pass,1961 when the letter5612 came935 to413 them, that they took3947 853 the king's4428 sons,1121 and slew7819 seventy7657 persons,376 and put7760 853 their heads7218 in baskets,1731 and sent7971 413 him them to Jezreel.3157

8 And there came935 a messenger,4397 and told5046 him, saying,559 They have brought935 the heads7218 of the king's4428 sons.1121 And he said,559 Lay7760 ye them in two8147 heaps6652 at the entering in6607 of the gate8179 until5704 the morning.1242

9 And it came to pass1961 in the morning,1242 that he went out,3318 and stood,5975 and said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971 Ye859 be righteous:6662 behold,2009 I589 conspired7194 against5921 my master,113 and slew2026 him: but who4310 slew5221 853 all3605 these?428

10 Know3045 now645 that3588 there shall fall5307 unto the earth776 nothing3808 of the word4480 1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 concerning5921 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for the LORD3068 hath done6213 853 that which834 he spoke1696 by3027 his servant5650 Elijah.452

11 So Jehu3058 slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 of the house1004 of Ahab256 in Jezreel,3157 and all3605 his great men,1419 and his kinsfolk,3045 and his priests,3548 until5704 he left7604 him none1115 remaining.8300

12 And he arose6965 and departed,935 and came1980 to Samaria.8111 And as he1931 was at the shearing house1044 in the way,1870

13 Jehu3058 met4672 with853 the brethren251 of Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah,3063 and said,559 Who4310 are ye?859 And they answered,559 We587 are the brethren251 of Ahaziah;274 and we go down3381 to salute7965 the children1121 of the king4428 and the children1121 of the queen.1377

14 And he said,559 Take8610 them alive.2416 And they took8610 them alive,2416 and slew7819 them at413 the pit953 of the shearing house,1044 even two8147 and forty705 men;376 neither3808 left7604 he any376 of4480 them.

15 And when he was departed1980 thence,4480 8033 he lighted on4672 853 Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 coming to meet7122 him: and he saluted1288 him, and said559 to413 him, Is3426 853 thine heart3824 right,3477 as834 my heart3824 is with5973 thy heart?3824 And Jehonadab3082 answered,559 It is.3426 If it be,3426 give5414 me853 thine hand.3027 And he gave5414 him his hand;3027 and he took him up5927 to413 him into413 the chariot.4818

16 And he said,559 Come1980 with854 me, and see7200 my zeal7068 for the LORD.3068 So they made him ride7392 in his chariot.7393

17 And when he came935 to Samaria,8111 he slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 unto Ahab256 in Samaria,8111 till5704 he had destroyed8045 him, according to the saying1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he spoke1696 to413 Elijah.452

18 And Jehu3058 gathered6908 853 all3605 the people5971 together, and said559 unto413 them, Ahab256 served5647 853 Baal1168 a little;4592 but Jehu3058 shall serve5647 him much.7235

19 Now6258 therefore call7121 unto413 me all3605 the prophets5030 of Baal,1168 all3605 his servants,5647 and all3605 his priests;3548 let none376 408 be wanting:6485 for3588 I have a great1419 sacrifice2077 to do to Baal;1168 whosoever3605 834 shall be wanting,6485 he shall not3808 live.2421 But Jehu3058 did6213 it in subtlety,6122 to the intent4616 that he might destroy6 853 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168

20 And Jehu3058 said,559 Proclaim6942 a solemn assembly6116 for Baal.1168 And they proclaimed7121 it.

21 And Jehu3058 sent7971 through all3605 Israel:3478 and all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 came,935 so that there was not3808 a man376 left7604 that834 came935 not.3808 And they came935 into the house1004 of Baal;1168 and the house1004 of Baal1168 was full4390 from one end6310 to another.6310

22 And he said559 unto him that834 was over5921 the vestry,4458 Bring forth3318 vestments3830 for all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168 And he brought them forth3318 vestments.4403

23 And Jehu3058 went,935 and Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab,7394 into the house1004 of Baal,1168 and said559 unto the worshipers5647 of Baal,1168 Search,2664 and look7200 that6435 there be3426 here6311 with5973 you none of the servants4480 5650 of the LORD,3068 but3588 518 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 only.905

24 And when they went in935 to offer6213 sacrifices2077 and burnt offerings,5930 Jehu3058 appointed7760 fourscore8084 men376 without,2351 and said,559 If any376 of4480 the men376 whom834 I589 have brought935 into5921 your hands3027 escape,4422 he that letteth him go, his life5315 shall be for8478 the life5315 of him.

25 And it came to pass,1961 as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering6213 the burnt offering,5930 that Jehu3058 said559 to the guard7323 and to the captains,7991 Go in,935 and slay5221 them; let none376 408 come forth.3318 And they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 and the guard7323 and the captains7991 cast them out,7993 and went1980 to5704 the city5892 of the house1004 of Baal.1168

26 And they brought forth3318 853 the images4676 out of the house1004 of Baal,1168 and burned8313 them.

27 And they broke down5422 853 the image4676 of Baal,1168 and broke down5422 853 the house1004 of Baal,1168 and made7760 it a draught house4163 unto5704 this day.3117

28 Thus Jehu3058 destroyed8045 853 Baal1168 out of Israel.4480 3478

29 Howbeit7535 from the sins2399 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made853 Israel3478 to sin,2398 Jehu3058 departed5493 not3808 from after4480 310 them, to wit, the golden2091 calves5695 that834 were in Bethel,1008 and that834 were in Dan.1835

30 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Jehu,3058 Because3282 834 thou hast done well2895 in executing6213 that which is right3477 in mine eyes,5869 and hast done6213 unto the house1004 of Ahab256 according to all3605 that834 was in mine heart,3824 thy children1121 of the fourth7243 generation shall sit3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel.3478

31 But Jehu3058 took no heed8104 3808 to walk1980 in the law8451 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 with all3605 his heart:3824 for he departed5493 not3808 from4480 5921 the sins2403 of Jeroboam,3379 which834 made853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

32 In those1992 days3117 the LORD3068 began2490 to cut Israel short:7096 3478 and Hazael2371 smote5221 them in all3605 the coasts1366 of Israel;3478

33 From4480 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 8121 853 all3605 the land776 of Gilead,1568 the Gadites,1425 and the Reubenites,7206 and the Manassites,4520 from Aroer,4480 6177 which834 is by5921 the river5158 Arnon,769 even Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316

34 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehu,3058 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and all3605 his might,1369 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

35 And Jehu3058 slept7901 with5973 his fathers:1 and they buried6912 him in Samaria.8111 And Jehoahaz3059 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

36 And the time3117 that834 Jehu3058 reigned4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria8111 was twenty6242 and eight8083 years.8141

Chapter 10

1 AND Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And they were brought up by the nobles of the city. And Jehu wrote a letter and sent it to Samaria, to the princes of Jezreel, to the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab's children, saying,

2 Now as soon as this letter reaches you, seeing your master's sons are with you and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and weapons;

3 Whichever seems to you good and best of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne and fight for your master's house.

4 But when they heard the letter, they were exceedingly afraid and said, Behold, two kings could not stand before Jehu; how then shall we stand before him?

5 So the overseer of the royal household, the governor of the city, the elders, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all that you shall bid us; we will not make any man king over us; do whatever is good in your eyes.

6 Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, If you are mine, and if you will hearken to my voice, then take the heads of your master's sons and bring them to me to Jezreel by this time tomorrow. Now the king's sons were seventy persons, and the nobles of the city brought them up.

7 And as soon as the letter reached them, they took the king's sons and slew them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him in Jezreel.

8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.

9 And in the morning, he went out and said to all the people, You are righteous; I conspired against my master and slew him; but who slew all these?

10 Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, of all which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.

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.

12 And he arose and departed and came to Samaria. And on the way he destroyed the houses of idols.

13 Then Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and said to them, Who are you? And they answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah; and we have come down to salute the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.

14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive and slew them and threw them into the pit of Beth-akar, forty-two persons; and he left none of them.

15 And when he was departed from there, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he blessed him, and said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? And Jonadab answered, It is, it is. And he said to him, Give me your hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up with him into the chariot.

16 And he said to him, Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD. So he made him ride in his chariot.

17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to the house of Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed them, according to the saying of the LORD which he spoke to Elijah.

18 Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

19 Now therefore invite to come to me all the prophets of Baal, all his priests, and all who serve him; let none be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make to Baal; whoever is missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did it deceitfully, with the intent to destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 And Jehu said, Invite all the assembly to come to Baal. And they invited them.

21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to the other.

22 And he said to him who was over the vestry, Bring out vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

23 Then Jehu and Jonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal and said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and see that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu had posted three hundred and eighty men outside by the door, and said, If any of the men whom I have delivered into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.

25 And as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offerings, Jehu said to the guards and to the mighty men, Go in and slay them; let none of them come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guards and the mighty men cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

26 And they brought forth the statue of Baal out of the house of Baal and burned it with fire.

27 And they broke down the image of Baal and demolished the house of Baal and made it a public toilet-room to this day.

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 But as for the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu did not depart from them, especially the worship of the golden calves that were in Beth-el and in Dan.

30 And the LORD said to Jehu, Because you have done well in my sight, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons even to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

31 But Jehu did not try to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart; and he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.

32 In those days the LORD began to bring distress in Israel; and Hazael smote them in all the territory of Israel,

33 From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead and of Gad and of Reuben and of Manasseh, from Adoer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Mathnin.

34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu and all that he did and all his might, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

1 And Ahab256 had seventy7657 sons1121 in Samaria.8111 And Jehu3058 wrote3789 letters,5612 and sent7971 to Samaria,8111 unto413 the rulers8269 of Jezreel,3157 to the elders,2205 and to413 them that brought up539 Ahab's256 children, saying,559

1 AND Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And they were brought up by the nobles of the city. And Jehu wrote a letter and sent it to Samaria, to the princes of Jezreel, to the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab's children, saying,

2 Now6258 as soon as this2088 letter5612 cometh935 to413 you, seeing your master's113 sons1121 are with854 you, and there are with854 you chariots7393 and horses,5483 a fenced4013 city5892 also, and armor;5402

2 Now as soon as this letter reaches you, seeing your master's sons are with you and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and weapons;

3 Look even out7200 the best2896 and meetest3477 of your master's sons,4480 1121 113 and set7760 him on5921 his father's1 throne,3678 and fight3898 for5921 your master's113 house.1004

3 Whichever seems to you good and best of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne and fight for your master's house.

4 But they were exceedingly3966 3966 afraid,3372 and said,559 Behold,2009 two8147 kings4428 stood5975 not3808 before6440 him: how349 then shall we587 stand?5975

4 But when they heard the letter, they were exceedingly afraid and said, Behold, two kings could not stand before Jehu; how then shall we stand before him?

5 And he that834 was over5921 the house,1004 and he that834 was over5921 the city,5892 the elders2205 also, and the bringers up539 of the children, sent7971 to413 Jehu,3058 saying,559 We587 are thy servants,5650 and will do6213 all3605 that834 thou shalt bid559 413 us; we will not3808 make any king:4427 376 do6213 thou that which is good2896 in thine eyes.5869

5 So the overseer of the royal household, the governor of the city, the elders, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all that you shall bid us; we will not make any man king over us; do whatever is good in your eyes.

6 Then he wrote3789 a letter5612 the second time8145 to413 them, saying,559 If518 ye859 be mine, and if ye859 will hearken8085 unto my voice,6963 take3947 ye853 the heads7218 of the men376 your master's113 sons,1121 and come935 to413 me to Jezreel3157 by tomorrow4279 this time.6256 Now the king's4428 sons,1121 being seventy7657 persons,376 were with854 the great men1419 of the city,5892 which brought them up.1431 853

6 Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, If you are mine, and if you will hearken to my voice, then take the heads of your master's sons and bring them to me to Jezreel by this time tomorrow. Now the king's sons were seventy persons, and the nobles of the city brought them up.

7 And it came to pass,1961 when the letter5612 came935 to413 them, that they took3947 853 the king's4428 sons,1121 and slew7819 seventy7657 persons,376 and put7760 853 their heads7218 in baskets,1731 and sent7971 413 him them to Jezreel.3157

7 And as soon as the letter reached them, they took the king's sons and slew them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him in Jezreel.

8 And there came935 a messenger,4397 and told5046 him, saying,559 They have brought935 the heads7218 of the king's4428 sons.1121 And he said,559 Lay7760 ye them in two8147 heaps6652 at the entering in6607 of the gate8179 until5704 the morning.1242

8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.

9 And it came to pass1961 in the morning,1242 that he went out,3318 and stood,5975 and said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971 Ye859 be righteous:6662 behold,2009 I589 conspired7194 against5921 my master,113 and slew2026 him: but who4310 slew5221 853 all3605 these?428

9 And in the morning, he went out and said to all the people, You are righteous; I conspired against my master and slew him; but who slew all these?

10 Know3045 now645 that3588 there shall fall5307 unto the earth776 nothing3808 of the word4480 1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 concerning5921 the house1004 of Ahab:256 for the LORD3068 hath done6213 853 that which834 he spoke1696 by3027 his servant5650 Elijah.452

10 Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, of all which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.

11 So Jehu3058 slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 of the house1004 of Ahab256 in Jezreel,3157 and all3605 his great men,1419 and his kinsfolk,3045 and his priests,3548 until5704 he left7604 him none1115 remaining.8300

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.

12 And he arose6965 and departed,935 and came1980 to Samaria.8111 And as he1931 was at the shearing house1044 in the way,1870

12 And he arose and departed and came to Samaria. And on the way he destroyed the houses of idols.

13 Jehu3058 met4672 with853 the brethren251 of Ahaziah274 king4428 of Judah,3063 and said,559 Who4310 are ye?859 And they answered,559 We587 are the brethren251 of Ahaziah;274 and we go down3381 to salute7965 the children1121 of the king4428 and the children1121 of the queen.1377

13 Then Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and said to them, Who are you? And they answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah; and we have come down to salute the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.

14 And he said,559 Take8610 them alive.2416 And they took8610 them alive,2416 and slew7819 them at413 the pit953 of the shearing house,1044 even two8147 and forty705 men;376 neither3808 left7604 he any376 of4480 them.

14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive and slew them and threw them into the pit of Beth-akar, forty-two persons; and he left none of them.

15 And when he was departed1980 thence,4480 8033 he lighted on4672 853 Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 coming to meet7122 him: and he saluted1288 him, and said559 to413 him, Is3426 853 thine heart3824 right,3477 as834 my heart3824 is with5973 thy heart?3824 And Jehonadab3082 answered,559 It is.3426 If it be,3426 give5414 me853 thine hand.3027 And he gave5414 him his hand;3027 and he took him up5927 to413 him into413 the chariot.4818

15 And when he was departed from there, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he blessed him, and said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? And Jonadab answered, It is, it is. And he said to him, Give me your hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up with him into the chariot.

16 And he said,559 Come1980 with854 me, and see7200 my zeal7068 for the LORD.3068 So they made him ride7392 in his chariot.7393

16 And he said to him, Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD. So he made him ride in his chariot.

17 And when he came935 to Samaria,8111 he slew5221 853 all3605 that remained7604 unto Ahab256 in Samaria,8111 till5704 he had destroyed8045 him, according to the saying1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he spoke1696 to413 Elijah.452

17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to the house of Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed them, according to the saying of the LORD which he spoke to Elijah.

18 And Jehu3058 gathered6908 853 all3605 the people5971 together, and said559 unto413 them, Ahab256 served5647 853 Baal1168 a little;4592 but Jehu3058 shall serve5647 him much.7235

18 Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

19 Now6258 therefore call7121 unto413 me all3605 the prophets5030 of Baal,1168 all3605 his servants,5647 and all3605 his priests;3548 let none376 408 be wanting:6485 for3588 I have a great1419 sacrifice2077 to do to Baal;1168 whosoever3605 834 shall be wanting,6485 he shall not3808 live.2421 But Jehu3058 did6213 it in subtlety,6122 to the intent4616 that he might destroy6 853 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168

19 Now therefore invite to come to me all the prophets of Baal, all his priests, and all who serve him; let none be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make to Baal; whoever is missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did it deceitfully, with the intent to destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 And Jehu3058 said,559 Proclaim6942 a solemn assembly6116 for Baal.1168 And they proclaimed7121 it.

20 And Jehu said, Invite all the assembly to come to Baal. And they invited them.

21 And Jehu3058 sent7971 through all3605 Israel:3478 and all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 came,935 so that there was not3808 a man376 left7604 that834 came935 not.3808 And they came935 into the house1004 of Baal;1168 and the house1004 of Baal1168 was full4390 from one end6310 to another.6310

21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to the other.

22 And he said559 unto him that834 was over5921 the vestry,4458 Bring forth3318 vestments3830 for all3605 the worshipers5647 of Baal.1168 And he brought them forth3318 vestments.4403

22 And he said to him who was over the vestry, Bring out vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

23 And Jehu3058 went,935 and Jehonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab,7394 into the house1004 of Baal,1168 and said559 unto the worshipers5647 of Baal,1168 Search,2664 and look7200 that6435 there be3426 here6311 with5973 you none of the servants4480 5650 of the LORD,3068 but3588 518 the worshipers5647 of Baal1168 only.905

23 Then Jehu and Jonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal and said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and see that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

24 And when they went in935 to offer6213 sacrifices2077 and burnt offerings,5930 Jehu3058 appointed7760 fourscore8084 men376 without,2351 and said,559 If any376 of4480 the men376 whom834 I589 have brought935 into5921 your hands3027 escape,4422 he that letteth him go, his life5315 shall be for8478 the life5315 of him.

24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu had posted three hundred and eighty men outside by the door, and said, If any of the men whom I have delivered into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.

25 And it came to pass,1961 as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering6213 the burnt offering,5930 that Jehu3058 said559 to the guard7323 and to the captains,7991 Go in,935 and slay5221 them; let none376 408 come forth.3318 And they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 and the guard7323 and the captains7991 cast them out,7993 and went1980 to5704 the city5892 of the house1004 of Baal.1168

25 And as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offerings, Jehu said to the guards and to the mighty men, Go in and slay them; let none of them come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guards and the mighty men cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

26 And they brought forth3318 853 the images4676 out of the house1004 of Baal,1168 and burned8313 them.

26 And they brought forth the statue of Baal out of the house of Baal and burned it with fire.

27 And they broke down5422 853 the image4676 of Baal,1168 and broke down5422 853 the house1004 of Baal,1168 and made7760 it a draught house4163 unto5704 this day.3117

27 And they broke down the image of Baal and demolished the house of Baal and made it a public toilet-room to this day.

28 Thus Jehu3058 destroyed8045 853 Baal1168 out of Israel.4480 3478

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Howbeit7535 from the sins2399 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 who834 made853 Israel3478 to sin,2398 Jehu3058 departed5493 not3808 from after4480 310 them, to wit, the golden2091 calves5695 that834 were in Bethel,1008 and that834 were in Dan.1835

29 But as for the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu did not depart from them, especially the worship of the golden calves that were in Beth-el and in Dan.

30 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Jehu,3058 Because3282 834 thou hast done well2895 in executing6213 that which is right3477 in mine eyes,5869 and hast done6213 unto the house1004 of Ahab256 according to all3605 that834 was in mine heart,3824 thy children1121 of the fourth7243 generation shall sit3427 on5921 the throne3678 of Israel.3478

30 And the LORD said to Jehu, Because you have done well in my sight, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons even to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

31 But Jehu3058 took no heed8104 3808 to walk1980 in the law8451 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 with all3605 his heart:3824 for he departed5493 not3808 from4480 5921 the sins2403 of Jeroboam,3379 which834 made853 Israel3478 to sin.2398

31 But Jehu did not try to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart; and he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.

32 In those1992 days3117 the LORD3068 began2490 to cut Israel short:7096 3478 and Hazael2371 smote5221 them in all3605 the coasts1366 of Israel;3478

32 In those days the LORD began to bring distress in Israel; and Hazael smote them in all the territory of Israel,

33 From4480 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 8121 853 all3605 the land776 of Gilead,1568 the Gadites,1425 and the Reubenites,7206 and the Manassites,4520 from Aroer,4480 6177 which834 is by5921 the river5158 Arnon,769 even Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316

33 From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead and of Gad and of Reuben and of Manasseh, from Adoer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Mathnin.

34 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehu,3058 and all3605 that834 he did,6213 and all3605 his might,1369 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu and all that he did and all his might, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

35 And Jehu3058 slept7901 with5973 his fathers:1 and they buried6912 him in Samaria.8111 And Jehoahaz3059 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 And the time3117 that834 Jehu3058 reigned4427 over5921 Israel3478 in Samaria8111 was twenty6242 and eight8083 years.8141

36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
