22. King Joram demanded, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?”Jehu replied, “How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother, Jezebel, are all around us?”
23. Then King Joram turned the horses around and fled, shouting to King Ahaziah, “Treason, Ahaziah!”
24. But Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he sank down dead in his chariot.
25. Jehu said to Bidkar, his officer, “Throw him into the plot of land that belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Do you remember when you and I were riding along behind his father, Ahab? The lord pronounced this message against him:
26. ‘I solemnly swear that I will repay him here on this plot of land, says the lord, for the murder of Naboth and his sons that I saw yesterday.’ So throw him out on Naboth’s property, just as the lord said.”
