V.1 And Ahab 256 had seventy 7657 sons 1121 in Samaria. 8111 And Jehu 3058 wrote 3789-4 letters, 5612 and sent 7971-4 to Samaria, 8111 unto the rulers 8269 of Jezreel, 3157 to the elders, 2205 and to them that brought up 539-6 Ahab's 256 [children], saying, 559-2

10:2 Now as soon as this letter 5612 cometh 935-2 to you, seeing your master's 113 sons 1121 [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots 7393 and horses, 5483 a fenced 4013 city 5892 also, and armour; 5402

10:3 Look 7200-1 even out the best 2896 and meetest 3477 of your master's 113 sons, 1121 and set 7760-1 [him] on his father's 1 throne, 3678 and fight 3898-10 for your master's 113 house. 1004

10:4 But they were exceedingly 3966 3966 afraid, 3372-4 and said, 559-4 Behold, two 8147 kings 4428 stood 5975-1 not before 6440 him: how then shall we stand? 5975-4

10:5 And he that [was] over the house, 1004 and he that [was] over the city, 5892 the elders 2205 also, and the bringers up 539-6 [of the children], sent 7971-4 to Jehu, 3058 saying, 559-2 We [are] thy servants, 5650 and will do 6213-4 all that thou shalt bid 559-4 us; we will not make any 376 king: 4427- 55 do 6213-3 thou [that which is] good 2896 in thine eyes. 5869

10:6 Then he wrote 3789-4 a letter 5612 the second time 8145 to them, saying, 559-2 If ye [be] mine, and [if] ye will hearken 8085-6 unto my voice, 6963 take 3947-3 ye the heads 7218 of the men 582 your master's 113 sons, 1121 and come 935-3 to me to Jezreel 3157 by to morrow 4279 this time. 6256 Now the king's 4428 sons, 1121 [being] seventy 7657 persons, 376 [were] with the great men 1419 of the city, 5892 which brought them up. 1431-18

10:7 And it came to pass, when the letter 5612 came 935-2 to them, that they took 3947-4 the king's 4428 sons, 1121 and slew 7819-4 seventy 7657 persons, 376 and put 7760-4 their heads 7218 in baskets, 1731 and sent 7971-4 him [them] to Jezreel. 3157

10:8 And there came 935-4 a messenger, 4397 and told 5046-55 him, saying, 559-2 They have brought 935-52 the heads 7218 of the king's 4428 sons. 1121 And he said, 559-4 Lay 7760-3 ye them in two 8147 heaps 6652 at the entering in 6607 of the gate 8179 until the morning. 1242

10:9 And it came to pass in the morning, 1242 that he went out, 3318-4 and stood, 5975-4 and said 559-4 to all the people, 5971 Ye [be] righteous: 6662 behold, I conspired 7194-1 against my master, 113 and slew 2026-4 him: but who slew 5221-52 all these?

10:10 Know 3045-3 now 645 that there shall fall 5307-4 unto the earth 776 nothing of the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which the LORD 3068 spake 1696-14 concerning the house 1004 of Ahab: 256 for the LORD 3068 hath done 6213-1 [that] which he spake 1696-14 by 3027 his servant 5650 Elijah. 452

10:11 So Jehu 3058 slew 5221-55 all that remained 7604-12 of the house 1004 of Ahab 256 in Jezreel, 3157 and all his great men, 1419 and his kinsfolks, 3045-30 and his priests, 3548 until he left 7604-52 him none remaining. 8300

10:12 And he arose 6965-4 and departed, 935-4 and came 3212-4 to Samaria. 8111 [And] as he [was] at the shearing 7462-6 house 1004|1044 in the way, 1870

10:13 Jehu 3058 met 4672-1 with the brethren 251 of Ahaziah 274 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and said, 559-4 Who [are] ye? And they answered, 559-4 We [are] the brethren 251 of Ahaziah; 274 and we go down 3381-4 to salute 7965 the children 1121 of the king 4428 and the children 1121 of the queen. 1377

10:14 And he said, 559-4 Take 8610-3 them alive. 2416 And they took 8610-4 them alive, 2416 and slew 7819-4 them at the pit 953 of the shearing house, 1004|1044 [even] two 8147 and forty 705 men; 376 neither left 7604-52 he any 376 of them.

10:15 And when he was departed 3212-4 thence, he lighted on 4672-4 Jehonadab 3082 the son 1121 of Rechab 7394 [coming] to meet 7125-2 him: and he saluted 1288-17 him, and said 559-4 to him, Is 3426 thine heart 3824 right, 3477 as my heart 3824 [is] with thy heart? 3824 And Jehonadab 3082 answered, 559-4 It is. 3426 If it be, 3426 give 5414-3 [me] thine hand. 3027 And he gave 5414-4 [him] his hand; 3027 and he took him up 5927-55 to him into the chariot. 4818

10:16 And he said, 559-4 Come 3212-3 with me, and see 7200-3 my zeal 7068 for the LORD. 3068 So they made him ride 7392-55 in his chariot. 7393

10:17 And when he came 935-4 to Samaria, 8111 he slew 5221-55 all that remained 7604-12 unto Ahab 256 in Samaria, 8111 till he had destroyed 8045-52 him, according to the saying 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which he spake 1696-14 to Elijah. 452

10:18 And Jehu 3058 gathered all the people 5971 together, 6908-4 and said 559-4 unto them, Ahab 256 served 5647-1 Baal 1168 a little; 4592 [but] Jehu 3058 shall serve 5647-4 him much. 7235-53

10:19 Now therefore call 7121-3 unto me all the prophets 5030 of Baal, 1168 all his servants, 5647-6 and all his priests; 3548 let none 376 be wanting: 6485-11 for I have a great 1419 sacrifice 2077 [to do] to Baal; 1168 whosoever shall be wanting, 6485-11 he shall not live. 2421-4 But Jehu 3058 did 6213-1 [it] in subtilty, 6122 to the intent that he might destroy 6-53 the worshippers 5647-6 of Baal. 1168

10:20 And Jehu 3058 said, 559-4 Proclaim 6942-16 a solemn assembly 6116 for Baal. 1168 And they proclaimed 7121-4 [it].

10:21 And Jehu 3058 sent 7971-4 through all Israel: 3478 and all the worshippers 5647-6 of Baal 1168 came, 935-4 so that there was not a man 376 left 7604-8 that came 935-1 not. And they came 935-4 into the house 1004 of Baal; 1168 and the house 1004 of Baal 1168 was full 4390-11 from one end 6310 to another. 6310

10:22 And he said 559-4 unto him that [was] over the vestry, 4458 Bring forth 3318-54 vestments 3830 for all the worshippers 5647-6 of Baal. 1168 And he brought them forth 3318-55 vestments. 4403

10:23 And Jehu 3058 went, 935-4 and Jehonadab 3082 the son 1121 of Rechab, 7394 into the house 1004 of Baal, 1168 and said 559-4 unto the worshippers 5647-6 of Baal, 1168 Search, 2664-16 and look 7200-3 that there be 3426 here with you none of the servants 5650 of the LORD, 3068 but the worshippers 5647-6 of Baal 1168 only.

10:24 And when they went in 935-4 to offer 6213-2 sacrifices 2077 and burnt offerings, 5930 Jehu 3058 appointed 7760-1 fourscore 8084 men 376 without, 2351 and said, 559-4 [If] any 376 of the men 582 whom I have brought 935-56 into your hands 3027 escape, 4422-11 [he that letteth him go], his life 5315 [shall be] for the life 5315 of him.

10:25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end 3615-15 of offering 6213-2 the burnt offering, 5930 that Jehu 3058 said 559-4 to the guard 7323-5 and to the captains, 7991 Go in, 935-3 [and] slay 5221-54 them; let none 376 come forth. 3318-4 And they smote 5221-55 them with the edge 6310 of the sword; 2719 and the guard 7323-5 and the captains 7991 cast [them] out, 7993-55 and went 3212-4 to the city 5892 of the house 1004 of Baal. 1168

10:26 And they brought forth 3318-55 the images 4676 out of the house 1004 of Baal, 1168 and burned 8313-4 them.

10:27 And they brake down 5422-4 the image 4676 of Baal, 1168 and brake down 5422-4 the house 1004 of Baal, 1168 and made 7760-4 it a draught house 4163|4280-k unto this day. 3117

10:28 Thus Jehu 3058 destroyed 8045-55 Baal 1168 out of Israel. 3478

10:29 Howbeit [from] the sins 2399 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat, 5028 who made Israel 3478 to sin, 2398-52 Jehu 3058 departed 5493-1 not from after 310 them, [to wit], the golden 2091 calves 5695 that [were] in Bethel, 1008 and that [were] in Dan. 1835

10:30 And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 unto Jehu, 3058 Because thou hast done well 2895-52 in executing 6213-2 [that which is] right 3477 in mine eyes, 5869 [and] hast done 6213-1 unto the house 1004 of Ahab 256 according to all that [was] in mine heart, 3824 thy children 1121 of the fourth 7243 [generation] shall sit 3427-4 on the throne 3678 of Israel. 3478

10:31 But Jehu 3058 took no heed 8104-1 to walk 3212-2 in the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 with all his heart: 3824 for he departed 5493-1 not from the sins 2403 of Jeroboam, 3379 which made Israel 3478 to sin. 2398-52

10:32 In those days 3117 the LORD 3068 began 2490-52 to cut Israel 3478 short: 7096-15 and Hazael 2371 smote 5221-55 them in all the coasts 1366 of Israel; 3478

10:33 From Jordan 3383 eastward, 4217 8121 all the land 776 of Gilead, 1568 the Gadites, 1425 and the Reubenites, 7206 and the Manassites, 4520 from Aroer, 6177 which [is] by the river 5158 Arnon, 769 even Gilead 1568 and Bashan. 1316

10:34 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehu, 3058 and all that he did, 6213-1 and all his might, 1369 [are] they not written 3789-7 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

10:35 And Jehu 3058 slept 7901-4 with his fathers: 1 and they buried 6912-4 him in Samaria. 8111 And Jehoahaz 3059 his son 1121 reigned 4427-4 in his stead.
