2 Kings 9:24-30 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

24. But Jehu drew his bow with his full strength and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

25. Then said Jehu to Bidkar, his captain, Take him and cast him in the edge of the portion of the field of Naboth of Jezreel. Remember that when thou and I went together after Ahab, his father, the Lord pronounced this sentence upon him, saying,

26. Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, said the Lord, and I will requite thee in this portion, said the Lord. Now, therefore, take and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.

27. But when Ahaziah, the king of Judah, saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the ascent to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.

28. And his slaves carried him to Jerusalem and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

29. In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.

30. And Jehu came to Jezreel, and when Jezebel heard of it, she painted her face and tired her head and looked out of a window.
