Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. 1Sa 10:12Ki 4:291Ki 1:391Sa 16:12Ki 8:28-291Pe 1:132Ki 2:3Deu 4:1 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room. 2Ki 9:112Ki 9:142Ki 9:51Ki 19:16-171Ki 20:301Ki 22:252Ki 9:20 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘The LORD says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.” 1Ki 19:161Sa 15:11Sa 15:171Sa 16:12-131Sa 16:21Sa 9:162Ch 22:72Ki 8:13
So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead. When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jdg 3:19
Jehu said, “To which one of us?”
He said, “To you, O captain.” He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel. 1Ki 19:162Ch 22:72Ki 9:31Ki 1:341Ki 10:91Ki 14:71Ki 16:21Ki 3:8 You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 1Ki 18:41Ki 21:15Deu 32:431Ki 21:211Ki 21:252Ki 9:32-37Deu 32:35Heb 10:30 For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, 1 both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel. 1Sa 25:22Deu 32:362Ki 14:262Ki 10:171Ki 14:10-111Ki 21:21-22 I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 1Ki 15:291Ki 21:221Ki 14:10-111Ki 16:11-121Ki 16:3-5 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled. 1Ki 21:232Ki 9:35-362Ki 9:3Jer 22:19Jdg 3:26
When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” Jer 29:26Act 26:24Hos 9:7Jhn 10:202Ki 5:212Ki 9:172Ki 9:192Ki 9:22
He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.”
He said, “He said to me, ‘The LORD says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”
Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.” 1Ki 1:341Ki 1:39Mrk 11:7-82Sa 15:10Mat 21:7-8Psa 47:5-7Psa 98:6
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria; 2Ki 8:281Ki 22:31Ki 15:271Ki 16:161Ki 16:71Ki 16:92Ki 10:92Ki 15:30 but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.” 2Ki 8:291Sa 27:9-112Ch 22:6 So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. 2Ch 22:6-72Ki 8:28-29 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” 1Sa 16:41Ki 2:151Sa 17:222Ki 7:142Ki 9:192Sa 13:342Sa 18:24Act 20:26-31
Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” 2Ki 9:192Ki 9:22Isa 48:22Isa 59:8Jer 16:5Rom 3:17
Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’”
Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.” 2Sa 18:271Ki 19:172Ki 10:16Dan 11:44Ecc 9:10Hab 1:6Hab 3:12Isa 54:16
Joram said, “Get ready!” 1Ki 21:1-72Ch 22:71Ki 20:141Ki 21:15-192Ki 9:25-26Mic 1:13Num 20:14
They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land. When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” 2Ch 21:13Nam 3:41Ki 16:30-331Ki 18:41Ki 19:1-21Ki 21:251Ki 21:8-10Isa 57:19-21
He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!” 2Ki 11:142Ch 23:13
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 1Ki 22:341Th 5:3Ecc 8:12-13Job 20:23-25Pro 21:30Psa 50:22 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him: 1Ki 21:191Ki 21:24-29Isa 13:1Jer 23:33-38Mal 1:1Mat 11:30Nam 1:1 ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.” 1Ki 21:192Ch 24:252Ch 25:4Deu 24:16Deu 5:9Exo 20:5Ezk 18:19
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there. Jdg 1:27Jos 17:111Ki 21:21Ki 4:122Ch 22:7-92Co 6:172Ki 23:29-302Ki 8:29 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city. 2Ch 35:242Ki 23:302Ch 25:282Ki 12:212Ki 14:19-202Ki 23:20 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah. 2Ch 21:18-192Ch 22:1-22Ki 8:162Ki 8:24-25
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window. Jer 4:30Ezk 23:40Ezk 24:171Ki 19:1-21Pe 3:31Ti 2:9-10Isa 3:18-24 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?” 1Ki 16:9-20
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” 1Ch 12:182Ch 11:12Act 12:20Est 1:10Est 2:15Est 2:21Exo 32:26Psa 118:6
Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
He said, “Throw her down!” Mic 7:101Ki 21:112Ki 7:202Ki 9:26Heb 10:29Isa 25:10Lam 1:15Mal 4:3
So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot. When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.” 1Ki 16:311Ki 21:251Ki 18:41Est 3:15Isa 65:15Mat 25:41Pro 10:7Amo 6:4
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. Act 12:23Ecc 6:3Isa 14:18-20Jer 22:19Jer 36:30Job 31:3 Therefore they came back, and told him. 1Ki 21:23Lev 8:362Ki 14:252Sa 12:25
He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel, and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’” Jer 8:2Jer 16:4Psa 83:10Ecc 6:3Ezk 32:23-30Isa 14:18-20Jer 22:19Jer 25:33
