列王纪下 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以利沙遣徒诣耶户
9 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的拉末去。 2 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， 3 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。” 4 于是那少年先知往基列的拉末去了。
耶户为以色列王
5 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。” 6 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。 7 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。 8 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， 9 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。先是约兰和以色列众人因为亚兰王哈薛的缘故，把守基列的拉末， 15 但约兰王回到耶斯列，医治与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤。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；犹大王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。以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢各坐自己的车出去迎接耶户，在耶斯列人拿伯的田那里遇见他。 22 约兰见耶户就说：“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：“你把他抛在耶斯列人拿伯的田间！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 犹大王亚哈谢见这光景，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人以利亚所说的话，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。’”
2 Kings 9
New Living Translation
Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 Meanwhile, Elisha the prophet had summoned a member of the group of prophets. “Get ready to travel,”[a] he told him, “and take this flask of olive oil with you. Go to Ramoth-gilead, 2 and find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Call him into a private room away from his friends, 3 and pour the oil over his head. Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you to be the king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run for your life!”
4 So the young prophet did as he was told and went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he arrived there, he found Jehu sitting around with the other army officers. “I have a message for you, Commander,” he said.
“For which one of us?” Jehu asked.
“For you, Commander,” he replied.
6 So Jehu left the others and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the oil over Jehu’s head and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anoint you king over the Lord’s people, Israel. 7 You are to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. In this way, I will avenge the murder of my prophets and all the Lord’s servants who were killed by Jezebel. 8 The entire family of Ahab must be wiped out. I will destroy every one of his male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel. 9 I will destroy the family of Ahab as I destroyed the families of Jeroboam son of Nebat and of Baasha son of Ahijah. 10 Dogs will eat Ahab’s wife Jezebel at the plot of land in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Jehu went back to his fellow officers, and one of them asked him, “What did that madman want? Is everything all right?”
“You know how a man like that babbles on,” Jehu replied.
12 “You’re hiding something,” they said. “Tell us.”
So Jehu told them, “He said to me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have anointed you to be king over Israel.’”
13 Then they quickly spread out their cloaks on the bare steps and blew the ram’s horn, shouting, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah
14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, led a conspiracy against King Joram. (Now Joram had been with the army at Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against the forces of King Hazael of Aram. 15 But King Joram[b] was wounded in the fighting and returned to Jezreel to recover from his wounds.) So Jehu told the men with him, “If you want me to be king, don’t let anyone leave town and go to Jezreel to report what we have done.”
16 Then Jehu got into a chariot and rode to Jezreel to find King Joram, who was lying there wounded. King Ahaziah of Judah was there, too, for he had gone to visit him. 17 The watchman on the tower of Jezreel saw Jehu and his company approaching, so he shouted to Joram, “I see a company of troops coming!”
“Send out a rider to ask if they are coming in peace,” King Joram ordered.
18 So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said, “The king wants to know if you are coming in peace.”
Jehu replied, “What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman called out to the king, “The messenger has met them, but he’s not returning.”
19 So the king sent out a second horseman. He rode up to them and said, “The king wants to know if you come in peace.”
Again Jehu answered, “What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”
20 The watchman exclaimed, “The messenger has met them, but he isn’t returning either! It must be Jehu son of Nimshi, for he’s driving like a madman.”
21 “Quick! Get my chariot ready!” King Joram commanded.
Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah rode out in their chariots to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. 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[c] 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.”
27 When King Ahaziah of Judah saw what was happening, he fled along the road to Beth-haggan. Jehu rode after him, shouting, “Shoot him, too!” So they shot Ahaziah[d] in his chariot at the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam. He was able to go on as far as Megiddo, but he died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem, where they buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. 29 Ahaziah had become king over Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab.
The Death of Jezebel
30 When Jezebel, the queen mother, heard that Jehu had come to Jezreel, she painted her eyelids and fixed her hair and sat at a window. 31 When Jehu entered the gate of the palace, she shouted at him, “Have you come in peace, you murderer? You’re just like Zimri, who murdered his master!”[e]
32 Jehu looked up and saw her at the window and shouted, “Who is on my side?” And two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu yelled. So they threw her out the window, and her blood spattered against the wall and on the horses. And Jehu trampled her body under his horses’ hooves.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Afterward he said, “Someone go and bury this cursed woman, for she is the daughter of a king.” 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and her hands.
36 When they returned and told Jehu, he stated, “This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah from Tishbe: ‘At the plot of land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s body. 37 Her remains will be scattered like dung on the plot of land in Jezreel, so that no one will be able to recognize her.’”
