00:00.760 --> 00:05.120
Chapter 10 And Ahab had seventy sons in
Samaria.

00:05.660 --> 00:10.200
And Jehu wrote letters and sent to Samaria
unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders,

00:10.640 --> 00:14.560
and to them that brought up Ahab's
children, saying, Now as soon as this

00:14.560 --> 00:19.400
letter cometh to you, seeing your master's
sons are with you, and there are with you

00:19.400 --> 00:24.740
chariots and horses, a fenced city also,
and armour, look even out the best and

00:24.740 --> 00:28.520
meatiest of your master's sons,
and set him on his father's throne,

00:29.200 --> 00:30.600
and fight for your master's house.

00:30.900 --> 00:36.060
But they were exceedingly afraid,
and said, Behold, two kings stood not

00:36.060 --> 00:36.820
before him.

00:37.180 --> 00:38.860
How then shall we stand?

00:39.100 --> 00:42.380
And he that was over the house,
and he that was over the city,

00:42.480 --> 00:46.840
the elders also, and the bringers up of
the children, sent to Jehu, saying,

00:47.300 --> 00:50.920
We are thy servants, and will do all that
thou shalt bid us.

00:51.680 --> 00:53.180
We will not make any king.

00:54.020 --> 00:56.560
Do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

00:57.440 --> 01:02.440
Then he wrote a letter the second time to
them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye

01:02.440 --> 01:06.720
will hearken unto my voice, take ye the
heads of the men your master's sons,

01:07.140 --> 01:10.400
and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this
time.

01:11.060 --> 01:14.820
Now the king's sons, being seventy
persons, were with the great men of the

01:14.820 --> 01:15.960
city which brought them up.

01:16.420 --> 01:20.560
And it came to pass, when the letter came
to them, that they took the king's sons,

01:20.940 --> 01:25.960
and slew seventy persons, and put their
heads in baskets, and sent him them to

01:25.960 --> 01:26.440
Jezreel.

01:26.940 --> 01:30.300
And there came a messenger, and told him,
saying, They have brought the heads of the

01:30.300 --> 01:30.900
king's sons.

01:31.280 --> 01:35.640
And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at
the entering in of the gate until the

01:35.640 --> 01:35.960
morning.

01:36.280 --> 01:40.420
And it came to pass in the morning,
that he went out, and stood, and said to

01:40.420 --> 01:42.060
all the people, Ye be righteous!

01:42.920 --> 01:45.880
Behold, I conspired against my master,
and slew him.

01:45.880 --> 01:47.580
But who slew all these?

01:48.280 --> 01:51.660
Know now that there shall fall unto the
earth nothing of the word of the Lord,

01:51.940 --> 01:54.300
which the Lord spake concerning the house
of Ahab.

01:54.760 --> 01:58.260
For the Lord hath done that which he spake
by his servant Elijah.

01:58.740 --> 02:03.420
So Jehu slew all that remained of the
house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his

02:03.420 --> 02:08.300
great men, and his kinsfolks, and his
priests, until he left him none remaining.

02:09.000 --> 02:11.180
And he arose and departed, and came to
Samaria.

02:11.620 --> 02:15.760
And as he was at the shearing-house in the
way, Jehu met with the brethren of

02:15.760 --> 02:18.340
Ahaziah, king of Judah, and said,
Who are ye?

02:18.500 --> 02:22.860
And they answered, We are the brethren of
Ahaziah, and we go down to salute the

02:22.860 --> 02:25.340
children of the king and the children of
the queen.

02:25.580 --> 02:27.060
And he said, Take them alive!

02:27.260 --> 02:30.520
And they took them alive, and slew them at
the pit of the shearing-house,

02:30.880 --> 02:33.900
even two and forty men, neither left he
any of them.

02:34.580 --> 02:38.220
And when he was departed thence,
he lighted on Jehonadab, the son of

02:38.220 --> 02:39.400
Rechab, coming to meet him.

02:39.400 --> 02:44.280
And he saluted him, and said to him,
Is thine heart right, as my heart is with

02:44.280 --> 02:44.820
thy heart?

02:45.000 --> 02:46.960
And Jehonadab answered, It is.

02:47.140 --> 02:49.880
If it be, give me thine hand.

02:50.520 --> 02:54.160
And he gave him his hand, and he took him
up to him into the chariot.

02:54.660 --> 02:58.480
And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal
for the Lord.

02:58.660 --> 03:00.320
So they made him ride in his chariot.

03:00.740 --> 03:04.720
And when he came to Samaria, he slew all
that remained unto Ahab in Samaria,

03:04.720 --> 03:09.580
till he had destroyed him, according to
the saying of the Lord, which he spake to

03:09.580 --> 03:09.940
Elijah.

03:10.800 --> 03:15.080
And Jehu gathered all the people together,
and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a

03:15.080 --> 03:17.680
little, but Jehu shall serve him much.

03:18.320 --> 03:21.860
Now therefore call unto me all the
prophets of Baal, all his servants,

03:22.460 --> 03:23.360
and all his priests.

03:24.100 --> 03:28.160
Let none be wanting, for I have a great
sacrifice to do to Baal.

03:28.940 --> 03:31.700
Whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not
live.

03:31.700 --> 03:36.700
But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent
that he might destroy the worshipers of

03:36.700 --> 03:36.940
Baal.

03:37.360 --> 03:40.080
And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly
for Baal.

03:40.420 --> 03:41.260
And they proclaimed it.

03:41.860 --> 03:43.760
And Jehu sent through all Israel.

03:44.180 --> 03:48.300
And all the worshipers of Baal came,
so that there was not a man left that came

03:48.300 --> 03:48.620
not.

03:49.020 --> 03:50.600
And they came into the house of Baal.

03:51.020 --> 03:53.740
And the house of Baal was full from one
end to another.

03:54.200 --> 03:58.360
And he said unto him that was over the
vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the

03:58.360 --> 03:59.480
worshipers of Baal.

03:59.560 --> 04:00.920
And he brought them forth vestments.

04:00.920 --> 04:05.520
And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of
Recap, into the house of Baal,

04:05.980 --> 04:10.300
and said unto the worshipers of Baal,
Search, and look, that there be here with

04:10.300 --> 04:14.260
you none of the servants of the Lord,
but the worshipers of Baal only.

04:14.580 --> 04:19.280
And when they went in to offer sacrifices
and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed four

04:19.280 --> 04:22.940
score men without, and said, If any of the
men whom I have brought into your hands

04:22.940 --> 04:28.360
escape, he that letteth him go,
his life shall be for the life of him.

04:28.360 --> 04:31.900
And it came to pass, as soon as he had
made an end of offering the burnt

04:31.900 --> 04:36.140
offering, that Jehu said to the guard and
to the captains, Go in and slay them,

04:36.820 --> 04:37.840
let none come forth.

04:38.160 --> 04:40.040
And they smote them with the edge of the
sword.

04:40.760 --> 04:45.180
And the guard and the captains cast them
out, and went to the city of the house of

04:45.180 --> 04:45.420
Baal.

04:45.960 --> 04:49.580
And they brought forth the images out of
the house of Baal, and burned them.

04:50.220 --> 04:54.080
And they break down the image of Baal,
and break down the house of Baal,

04:54.400 --> 04:56.420
and made it a draft house unto this day.

04:56.420 --> 05:02.560
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel,
howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son

05:02.560 --> 05:04.740
of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

05:05.520 --> 05:10.440
Jehu departed not from after them,
to wit, the golden calves that were in

05:10.440 --> 05:12.060
Bethel, and that were in Dan.

05:12.540 --> 05:17.020
And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou
hast done well in executing that which is

05:17.020 --> 05:21.760
right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the
house of Ahab according to all that was in

05:21.760 --> 05:26.920
mine heart, thy children of the fourth
generation shall sit on the throne of

05:26.920 --> 05:27.340
Israel.

05:27.840 --> 05:32.400
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law
of the Lord God of Israel with all his

05:32.400 --> 05:32.720
heart.

05:33.080 --> 05:37.240
For he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

05:38.080 --> 05:40.640
In those days the Lord began to cut Israel
short.

05:41.300 --> 05:43.840
And Hazael smote them in all the coasts of
Israel.

05:43.840 --> 05:49.020
From Jordan eastward all the land of
Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites,

05:49.480 --> 05:54.020
and the Manassites, from Meroa,
which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead

05:54.020 --> 05:54.540
and Bashan.

05:55.480 --> 05:59.400
Now the rest of the acts of Jehu,
and all that he did, and all his might,

06:00.080 --> 06:02.860
are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?

06:03.460 --> 06:07.300
And Jehu slept with his fathers,
and they buried him in Samaria.

06:08.640 --> 06:11.100
And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

06:11.100 --> 06:16.360
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel
in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
