以利沙遣徒诣耶户

先知以利沙叫了一个先知门徒来,吩咐他说:“你束上腰,手拿这瓶膏油往基列拉末去。 到了那里,要寻找宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户,使他从同僚中起来,带他进严密的屋子, 将瓶里的膏油倒在他头上,说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你做以色列王。’说完了,就开门逃跑,不要迟延。” 于是那少年先知往基列拉末去了。

耶户为以色列王

到了那里,看见众军长都坐着,就说:“将军哪,我有话对你说。”耶户说:“我们众人里,你要对哪一个说呢?”回答说:“将军哪,我要对你说。” 耶户就起来,进了屋子。少年人将膏油倒在他头上,对他说:“耶和华以色列的神如此说:我膏你做耶和华民以色列的王。 你要击杀你主人亚哈的全家,我好在耶洗别身上申我仆人众先知和耶和华一切仆人流血的冤。 亚哈全家必都灭亡,凡属亚哈的男丁,无论是困住的、自由的,我必从以色列中剪除, 使亚哈的家像尼八儿子耶罗波安的家,又像亚希雅儿子巴沙的家。 10 耶洗别必在耶斯列田里被狗所吃,无人葬埋。”说完了,少年人就开门逃跑了。

11 耶户出来,回到他主人的臣仆那里。有一人问他说:“平安吗?这狂妄的人来见你有什么事呢?”回答说:“你们认得那人,也知道他说什么。” 12 他们说:“这是假话,你据实地告诉我们。”回答说:“他如此如此对我说,他说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你做以色列王。’” 13 他们就急忙各将自己的衣服铺在上层台阶,使耶户坐在其上。他们吹角,说:“耶户做王了!”

14 这样,宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户背叛约兰。先是约兰以色列众人因为亚兰哈薛的缘故,把守基列拉末 15 约兰王回到耶斯列,医治与亚兰哈薛打仗所受的伤。耶户说:“若合你们的意思,就不容人逃出城往耶斯列报信去。” 16 于是耶户坐车往耶斯列去,因为约兰病卧在那里;犹大亚哈谢已经下去望看他。

17 有一个守望的人站在耶斯列的楼上,看见耶户带着一群人来,就说:“我看见一群人。”约兰说:“打发一个骑马的去迎接他们,问说:‘平安不平安?’” 18 骑马的就去迎接耶户,说:“王问说:‘平安不平安?’”耶户说:“平安不平安与你何干?你转在我后头吧!”守望的人又说:“使者到了他们那里,却不回来。” 19 王又打发一个骑马的去。这人到了他们那里,说:“王问说:‘平安不平安?’”耶户说:“平安不平安与你何干?你转在我后头吧!” 20 守望的人又说:“他到了他们那里,也不回来。车赶得甚猛,像宁示的孙子耶户的赶法。”

射杀约兰

21 约兰吩咐说:“套车!”人就给他套车。以色列约兰犹大亚哈谢各坐自己的车出去迎接耶户,在耶斯列拿伯的田那里遇见他。 22 约兰耶户就说:“耶户啊,平安吗?”耶户说:“你母亲耶洗别的淫行邪术这样多,焉能平安呢?” 23 约兰就转车逃跑,对亚哈谢说:“亚哈谢啊,反了!” 24 耶户开满了弓,射中约兰的脊背,箭从心窝穿出,约兰就仆倒在车上。 25 耶户对他的军长毕甲说:“你把他抛在耶斯列拿伯的田间!你当追想,你我一同坐车跟随他父亚哈的时候,耶和华对亚哈所说的预言, 26 说:‘我昨日看见拿伯的血和他众子的血,我必在这块田上报应你。’这是耶和华说的。现在你要照着耶和华的话,把他抛在这田间。”

击杀亚哈谢

27 犹大亚哈谢见这光景,就从园亭之路逃跑。耶户追赶他,说:“把这人也杀在车上!”到了靠近以伯莲姑珥的坡上,击伤了他。他逃到米吉多,就死在那里。 28 他的臣仆用车将他的尸首送到耶路撒冷,葬在大卫城他自己的坟墓里,与他列祖同葬。

29 亚哈谢登基做犹大王的时候,是在亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年。

掷杀耶洗别

30 耶户到了耶斯列耶洗别听见就擦粉,梳头,从窗户里往外观看。 31 耶户进门的时候,耶洗别说:“杀主人的心利啊,平安吗?” 32 耶户抬头向窗户观看,说:“谁顺从我?”有两三个太监从窗户往外看他。 33 耶户说:“把她扔下来!”他们就把她扔下来。她的血溅在墙上和马上,于是把她践踏了。 34 耶户进去,吃了喝了,吩咐说:“你们把这被咒诅的妇人葬埋了,因为她是王的女儿。” 35 他们就去葬埋她,只寻得她的头骨和脚并手掌。 36 他们回去告诉耶户耶户说:“这正应验耶和华借他仆人提斯比以利亚所说的话,说:‘在耶斯列田间,狗必吃耶洗别的肉。 37 耶洗别的尸首必在耶斯列田间如同粪土,甚至人不能说这是耶洗别。’”

耶户被立为以色列王

以利沙先知叫来一个先知,吩咐他:“你要束上腰带,拿着这瓶膏油去基列的拉末。 到了以后,你去找宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户,带他离开同僚,进入密室, 把这瓶膏油倒在他头上,告诉他,‘耶和华说,我膏立你为以色列王。’然后,你要马上开门逃走,不可迟延。”

于是,那位年轻的先知启程前往基列的拉末。 到了那里,他看见众将领正坐在一起,便说:“将军,我有话对你说。”耶户说:“你想对我们哪一个说话?”他说:“将军啊,我有话对你说。” 耶户便站起来,随他进入屋里。他将膏油倒在耶户头上,说:“以色列的上帝耶和华说,‘我膏立你做我以色列子民的王。 你要杀你主人亚哈的全家,这样我就可以为我的仆人——众先知以及其他仆人报仇,他们被耶洗别杀害。 亚哈全家必灭亡,我要从以色列铲除他家中所有的男子——不论奴隶还是自由人, 使他家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安家和亚希雅的儿子巴沙家一样。 10 耶洗别的尸体必在耶斯列的田间被狗吃,无人埋葬。’”说完这话,那位年轻的先知便开门逃跑了。

11 耶户出来回到同僚那里,一个人问他:“没事吧?那疯子为什么来找你?”耶户答道:“你们认得他,也知道他会说什么。” 12 他们说:“我们不知道,你告诉我们吧!”耶户说:“他告诉我,耶和华说膏立我做以色列王。” 13 他们连忙将自己的衣服铺在耶户脚下的台阶上,吹响号角,高喊:“耶户做王了!”

以色列王约兰被杀

14 宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户背叛了约兰。当时,约兰率领全体以色列人在基列的拉末防御亚兰王哈薛, 15 他与哈薛交战受伤后,回到耶斯列养伤。耶户对属下说:“如果你们要我做王,就不要让任何人逃出城去耶斯列报信。” 16 于是,耶户驾车去了耶斯列,因为约兰在耶斯列养伤,犹大王亚哈谢也在那里探望他。

17 耶斯列城楼上的哨兵看见耶户的人马朝耶斯列奔来,就报信说:“我见到一队人马!”约兰下令:“派一个骑兵去看看他们是否为平安而来。” 18 骑兵出去迎接耶户,对他说:“王问你是否为平安而来。”耶户说:“这与你何干?你跟在我后面。”哨兵禀告说:“骑兵到了那里,却没有回来。” 19 王又派一个骑兵到耶户那里,对他说:“王问你是否为平安而来。”耶户说:“这与你何干?你跟在我后面。” 20 哨兵又禀告说:“他到了那里,也没有回来。那人驾车很猛,一定是宁示的孙子耶户。”

21 约兰下令备车。以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢各乘自己的战车去见耶户。他们和耶户在耶斯列人拿伯的田里相遇。 22 约兰问他:“耶户,你为平安而来吗?”耶户答道:“国中到处都是你母亲耶洗别的偶像和邪术,怎能平安呢?” 23 约兰调转车头逃跑,向亚哈谢大喊:“亚哈谢,他反了!” 24 耶户张弓搭箭,射中约兰的后背,箭穿透他的心脏,他倒毙在车上。 25 耶户对将领毕甲说:“你去把他丢在耶斯列人拿伯的田里。还记得吗?你我一起驾车跟随他父亲亚哈的时候,耶和华曾预言亚哈的事说, 26 ‘我昨天看见拿伯和他儿子们被杀,我必使你在这块田里受到报应,这是耶和华说的。’现在你照耶和华的话,把他丢在这块田里吧。”

27 犹大王亚哈谢见状,就沿着通往伯哈干的道路逃跑。耶户在后面追,并大喊:“射死他!”他们在以伯莲附近的姑珥坡射伤了亚哈谢。他逃到米吉多后,伤重身亡。 28 他的臣仆用车把他的尸体运回耶路撒冷,安葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。

29 在以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰执政第十一年,亚哈谢登基做犹大王。

耶洗别被杀

30 耶户去了耶斯列。耶洗别闻讯,便梳头描眉,向窗外眺望。 31 耶户进城时,耶洗别高声喊道:“谋杀主人的心利啊,平安吗?” 32 耶户抬头望着窗口,喊道:“谁拥护我?谁?”有两三个太监从窗口往外看他。 33 耶户说:“把她扔下来!”那几个太监便把耶洗别扔下去,血溅在墙壁上和马匹身上。耶户驾车轧过她的身体, 34 进入王宫,大吃大喝,然后吩咐部下说:“把那受咒诅的妇人埋了,她毕竟是王的女儿。” 35 他们出去埋葬她,却只找到她的头骨、手掌和脚, 36 便回去禀告耶户。耶户说:“这正应验耶和华借祂仆人提斯比人以利亚说的话,‘狗必在耶斯列的田间吃耶洗别的肉, 37 耶洗别的尸体必像耶斯列田间的粪便,无人能认出那是耶洗别。’”

Jehu Anointed King over Israel

Now Elisha the prophet called one of (A)the sons of the prophets and said to him, “(B)Gird up your loins, and (C)take this flask of oil in your hand and go to (D)Ramoth-gilead. And you will come there and look there for (E)Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi. And you will come in and [a](F)bid him arise from among his brothers. And you will cause him to come in to an inner room. Then you will take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “(G)I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee and do not wait.”

So (H)the young man—the young man of the prophet—went to Ramoth-gilead. Then he came, and behold, the commanders of the military were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, O commander.” And Jehu said, “[b]For which one of us?” And he said, “For you, O commander.” And he arose and came into the house, and he poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘(I)I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel. And you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, (J)that I may avenge (K)the blood of My slaves the prophets, and the blood of all the slaves of Yahweh, (L)at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and (M)I will cut off from Ahab (N)every [c]male person (O)both bond and free in Israel. (P)And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and (Q)like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 (R)And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the [d]property of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.

11 Now Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “(S)Is all well? Why did this (T)mad fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man and his talk.” 12 And they said, “It is a lie, declare it to us now.” And he said, “Thus and thus he said to me, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’” 13 Then (U)they hurried and each man took his garment and placed it under him on the bare steps, and (V)blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king!”

Jehu Deceives Joram

14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (W)Now Joram [e]with all Israel was [f]guarding Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram, 15 but (X)King [g]Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had struck him with when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said, “If this is your mind, then let no one escape or [h]leave the city to go declare it in Jezreel.” 16 Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there. (Y)Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the [i]company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a [j]company.” And Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’” 18 So a horseman went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “(Z)What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman declared saying, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19 Then he sent out a second horseman. And he came to them and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu [k]answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” 20 And the watchman declared saying, “He came up to them, but he did not return; and (AA)the driving is like the driving of (AB)Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives in madness.”

21 Then [l]Joram said, “[m]Get ready.” And they made his chariot ready. [n](AC)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 in the [o](AD)property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 Now it happened that when [p]Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he [q]answered, “What peace, (AE)so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?” 23 So [r]Joram [s]turned about and fled and said to Ahaziah, “(AF)There is deception, O Ahaziah!” 24 And (AG)Jehu [t]drew his bow with his full strength and struck [u]Joram between his arms; and the arrow went [v]through his heart and he crouched down in his chariot. 25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Lift him up and (AH)cast him into the [w]property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when [x]you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that (AI)Yahweh lifted up this (AJ)oracle against him: 26 ‘Surely (AK)I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh, ‘and (AL)I will repay you in this [y]property,’ says Yahweh. So now, lift him up and cast him into the [z]property, according to the word of Yahweh.”

Jehu Strikes Down Ahaziah

27 (AM)And Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this and fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, “Strike him down too, in the chariot.” So they struck him down at the ascent of Gur, which is at (AN)Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there. 28 (AO)Then his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of David.

29 Now in (AP)the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.

Jezebel Is Eaten by Dogs

30 Then Jehu came to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard of it and (AQ)she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “(AR)Is it [aa]peace, Zimri, [ab]your master’s killer?” 32 Then he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three officials looked down at him. 33 And he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot. 34 Then he came in and ate and drank. And he said, “Take care now of (AS)this cursed woman and bury her, for (AT)she is a king’s daughter.” 35 They went to bury her, but they found nothing more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. 36 Therefore they returned and declared it to him. And he said, “This is the word of Yahweh, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘(AU)In the [ac]property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; 37 and (AV)the corpse of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field in the [ad]property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
