00:00.000 --> 00:05.520
Chapter 9 And Elisha the prophet called
one of the children of the prophets,

00:05.820 --> 00:10.880
and said unto him, Gird up thy loins,
and take this box of oil in thine hand,

00:11.160 --> 00:12.940
and go to Ramoth-gilead.

00:13.200 --> 00:17.700
And when thou comest thither, look out
there Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat,

00:18.220 --> 00:23.740
the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him
arise up from among his brethren,

00:24.060 --> 00:25.860
and carry him to the inner chamber.

00:26.460 --> 00:32.500
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on
his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord,

00:33.000 --> 00:35.380
I have anointed thee king over Israel.

00:35.900 --> 00:39.160
Then open the door, and flee, and tarry
not.

00:39.460 --> 00:43.440
So the young man, even the young man the
prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.

00:44.000 --> 00:47.280
And when he came, behold, the captains of
the host were sitting.

00:48.020 --> 00:50.340
And he said, I have an errand to thee,
O captain.

00:50.600 --> 00:53.260
And Jehu said, Unto which of all us?

00:53.460 --> 00:55.120
And he said, To thee, O captain.

00:55.120 --> 00:57.240
And he arose, and went into the house.

00:57.640 --> 01:01.500
And he poured the oil on his head,
and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God

01:01.500 --> 01:06.000
of Israel, I have anointed thee king over
the people of the Lord, even over Israel.

01:06.320 --> 01:11.660
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy
master, that I may avenge the blood of my

01:11.660 --> 01:16.140
servants the prophets, and the blood of
all the servants of the Lord at the hand

01:16.140 --> 01:16.680
of Jezebel.

01:17.260 --> 01:22.400
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish,
and I will cut off from Ahab him that

01:22.400 --> 01:26.320
pisseth against the wall, and him that is
shut up and left in Israel.

01:26.820 --> 01:31.520
And I will make the house of Ahab like the
house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,

01:32.200 --> 01:35.340
and like the house of Beasher the son of
Ahijah.

01:35.960 --> 01:41.420
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the
portion of Jezreel, and there shall be

01:41.420 --> 01:42.480
none to bury her.

01:42.740 --> 01:44.500
And he opened the door and fled.

01:45.820 --> 01:48.780
Then Jehu came forth to the servants of
his lord.

01:49.360 --> 01:51.560
And one said unto him, Is all well?

01:52.120 --> 01:53.960
Wherefore came this mad fellow to thee?

01:54.100 --> 01:57.460
And he said unto them, Ye know the man,
and his communication.

01:57.680 --> 01:59.240
And they said, It is false.

01:59.600 --> 02:00.200
Tell us now.

02:00.360 --> 02:05.080
And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me,
saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have

02:05.080 --> 02:07.180
anointed thee king over Israel.

02:07.520 --> 02:11.680
Then they hasted, and took every man his
garment, and put it under him on the top

02:11.680 --> 02:16.060
of the stairs, and blew with trumpets,
saying, Jehu is king.

02:16.720 --> 02:21.580
So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat,
the son of Nimshah, conspired against

02:21.580 --> 02:21.920
Joram.

02:22.900 --> 02:27.380
Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead,
he and all Israel, because of Hazael,

02:27.660 --> 02:28.280
king of Syria.

02:28.760 --> 02:33.320
But king Joram was returned to be healed
in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians

02:33.320 --> 02:36.600
had given him when he fought with Hazael,
king of Syria.

02:37.200 --> 02:42.500
And Jehu said, If it be your minds,
then let none go forth nor escape out of

02:42.500 --> 02:44.660
the city to go to Tellet in Jezreel.

02:45.000 --> 02:49.380
So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to
Jezreel, for Joram lay there.

02:49.380 --> 02:53.020
And Ahaziah, king of Judah, was come down
to see Joram.

02:53.300 --> 02:55.700
And there stood a watchman on the tower in
Jezreel.

02:55.960 --> 02:59.860
And he spied the company of Jehu as he
came and said, I see a company.

03:00.280 --> 03:05.180
And Joram said, Take a horseman and send
to meet them, and let him say,

03:05.660 --> 03:06.560
is it peace?

03:06.800 --> 03:10.760
So there went one on horseback to meet him
and said, Thus saith the king,

03:11.240 --> 03:12.000
is it peace?

03:12.280 --> 03:15.020
And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with
peace?

03:15.780 --> 03:16.880
Turn thee behind me.

03:17.060 --> 03:20.800
And the watchman told, saying,
The messenger came to them, but he cometh

03:20.800 --> 03:21.300
not again.

03:21.660 --> 03:26.340
Then he sent out a second on horseback,
which came to them and said, Thus saith

03:26.340 --> 03:28.060
the king, is it peace?

03:28.420 --> 03:31.780
And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do
with peace?

03:32.100 --> 03:33.600
Turn thee behind me.

03:33.840 --> 03:37.580
And the watchman told, saying,
He came even unto them and cometh not

03:37.580 --> 03:37.940
again.

03:38.320 --> 03:42.520
And the driving is like the driving of
Jehu, the son of Nimshi, for he driveth

03:42.520 --> 03:43.180
furiously.

03:43.480 --> 03:45.440
And Joram said, Make ready.

03:45.820 --> 03:47.220
And his chariot was made ready.

03:47.220 --> 03:52.620
And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king
of Judah went out, each in his chariot.

03:53.040 --> 03:56.800
And they went out against Jehu,
and met him in the portion of Naboth,

03:57.080 --> 03:57.860
the Jezreelite.

03:58.200 --> 04:03.660
And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu,
that he said, Is it peace, Jehu?

04:04.060 --> 04:05.880
And he answered, What peace?

04:06.540 --> 04:11.500
So long as the whoredoms of thy mother
Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many.

04:11.900 --> 04:17.660
And Joram turned his hands and fled,
and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery,

04:17.840 --> 04:18.920
O Ahaziah.

04:19.180 --> 04:23.640
And Jehu drew a bow with his full
strength, and smote Joram between his

04:23.640 --> 04:23.940
arms.

04:24.360 --> 04:28.240
And the arrow went out at his heart,
and he sunk down in his chariot.

04:29.300 --> 04:34.040
Then said Jehu to Bidka, his captain,
Take up, and cast him in the portion of

04:34.040 --> 04:35.820
the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite.

04:36.600 --> 04:41.320
For remember how that when I and thou rode
together after Ahab his father,

04:41.800 --> 04:43.800
the Lord laid this burden upon him.

04:44.660 --> 04:48.660
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of
Naboth, and the blood of his son,

04:48.880 --> 04:49.460
saith the Lord.

04:49.660 --> 04:53.000
And I will requite thee in this plat,
saith the Lord.

04:53.760 --> 04:58.440
Now therefore take and cast him into the
plat of ground, according to the word of

04:58.440 --> 04:58.840
the Lord.

04:59.080 --> 05:03.600
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw
this, he fled by the way of the garden

05:03.600 --> 05:03.960
house.

05:04.840 --> 05:08.400
And Jehu followed after him and said,
Smite him also in the chariot.

05:08.620 --> 05:11.940
And they did so with the going up to Ger,
which is by Iblium.

05:11.940 --> 05:14.420
And he fled to Megiddo and died there.

05:14.940 --> 05:18.900
And his servants carried him in a chariot
to Jerusalem, and buried him in his

05:18.900 --> 05:21.320
sepulcher with his fathers in the city of
David.

05:21.980 --> 05:26.920
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son
of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

05:28.300 --> 05:31.700
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it.

05:32.400 --> 05:36.560
And she painted her face, and tired her
head, and looked out at a window.

05:37.280 --> 05:41.780
And as Jehu entered in at the gate she
said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his

05:41.780 --> 05:42.340
master.

05:42.960 --> 05:46.580
And he lifted up his face to the window
and said, Who is on my side?

05:46.900 --> 05:47.240
Who?

05:47.640 --> 05:49.960
And there looked out to him two or three
eunuchs.

05:50.440 --> 05:52.180
And he said, Throw her down.

05:52.340 --> 05:53.420
So they threw her down.

05:54.120 --> 05:57.200
And some of her blood was sprinkled on the
wall and on the horses.

05:57.700 --> 05:58.860
And he trod her underfoot.

05:59.200 --> 06:04.100
And when he was come in, he did eat and
drink and said, Go, see now this cursed

06:04.100 --> 06:07.160
woman and bury her, for she is a king's
daughter.

06:07.160 --> 06:08.360
And they went to bury her.

06:08.540 --> 06:12.580
But they found no more of her than the
skull, and the feet, and the palms of her

06:12.580 --> 06:12.960
hands.

06:13.760 --> 06:15.440
Wherefore they came again and told him.

06:15.900 --> 06:20.440
And he said, This is the word of the Lord,
which he spake by his servant Elijah the

06:20.440 --> 06:25.100
Tishbite, saying, In the portion of
Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of

06:25.100 --> 06:30.420
Jezebel, and the carcass of Jezebel shall
be as dung upon the face of the field in

06:30.420 --> 06:35.540
the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall
not say, This is Jezebel.
