2 Kings 9:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Take him up and (A)cast him into the [a]property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when [b]you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that the (B)Lord laid this (C)oracle against him: 26 ‘Surely (D)I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the Lord, ‘and (E)I will repay you in this [c]property,’ says the Lord. Now then, take and cast him into the [d]property, according to the word of the Lord.”
Jehu Assassinates Ahaziah
27 (F)When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, “[e]Shoot him too, in the chariot.” So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at (G)Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.
