katapi HOME 2 Kings 9:21-28

9 21 Joram said, "Make ready." And they made ready his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his chariot, and went to meet Jehu, and met him at the property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 9 22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace can there be, so long as the harlotries and the sorceries of your mother Jezebel are so many?" 9 23 Then Joram reined about and fled, saying to Ahaziah, "Treachery, O Ahaziah!" 9 24 And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram between the shoulders, so that the arrow pierced his heart, and he sank in his chariot. - Death of AHAZIAH king of Judah.  2Kgs.9.25-29

9 25 Jehu said to Bidkar his aide, "Take him up, and cast him on the plot of ground belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I rode side by side behind Ahab his father, how Yahweh uttered this oracle against him: 9 26 'As surely as I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons - says Yahweh -I will requite you on this plot of ground.' Now therefore take him up and cast him on the plot of ground, in accordance with the word of Yahweh."

9 27 When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled in the direction of Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, and said, "Shoot him also"; and they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 9 28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
