아합의 자손 70명이 몰살당함
10 사마리아성에 아합의 [a]자손 70명이 살고 있었다. 그래서 예후는 그 성의 지도자들과 아합의 자손들을 보살펴 주고 있는 사람들에게 편지를 보냈는데 그 편지 내용은 다음과 같았다.
2 “왕의 자손들이 너희와 함께 있고 또 너희에게는 전차와 말과 요새화된 성과 무기도 있다. 그러므로 너희는 이 편지를 받는 즉시
3 왕의 자손들 가운데 가장 유능한 자를 뽑아 그를 왕으로 세우고 그를 위해 싸울 준비를 하라.”
4 그러나 그들은 두려워하며 이렇게 말하였다. “두 왕도 예후를 당해 내지 못했는데 우리가 어떻게 그를 대적할 수 있겠는가?”
5 그래서 궁중 대신과 그 성의 지도자들과 아합의 자손을 보살피는 자들이 예후에게 이런 전갈을 보냈다. “우리는 당신의 종이므로 당신이 말하는 것은 무엇이든지 하겠습니다. 우리는 아무도 왕을 세우지 않을 테니 당신이 좋을 대로 하십시오.”
6 그래서 예후는 그들에게 다시 이런 편지를 보냈다. “너희가 만일 내 편이 되어 나에게 복종하려고 한다면 아합 자손들의 머리를 잘라 내일 이맘때까지 이스르엘로 와서 나에게 바쳐라.” 70명의 아합 자손들은 그 성 지도자들의 보호를 받고 있었다.
7 예후의 편지가 도착하자 이 사람들은 아합의 자손들을 모조리 죽이고 그 머리를 바구니에 담아 이스르엘에 있는 예후에게 보냈다.
8 예후는 그들이 머리를 가져왔다는 말을 듣고 그것을 성문 입구에 두 무더기로 쌓아 다음날 아침까지 그대로 두라고 명령하였다.
9 다음날 아침 그는 성문으로 나가서 그 곳에 몰려든 군중들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분에게는 아무 잘못이 없습니다. 요람왕을 반역하여 죽인 자는 바로 나입니다. 그러나 그의 자손들은 누가 죽였습니까?
10 여러분은 여호와께서 아합의 집안에 대하여 하신 말씀이 하나도 빠짐없이 이루어진다는 것을 알아야 합니다. 이제 여호와께서는 그의 종 엘리야를 통하여 예언하신 말씀을 다 이루셨습니다.”
11 그러고서 예후는 아합의 집안 사람 중 이스르엘에 남아 있는 자들을 모조리 죽이고 그의 신하들과 가까운 친구들, 그리고 그의 제사장들을 하나도 남기지 않고 몰살시켰다.
아하시야왕의 친척들이 몰살당함
12 그 후에 예후는 사마리아로 가려고 이스르엘을 떠났다. 그는 도중에 ‘목자들의 집’ 이라는 곳에서
13 유다 왕 아하시야의 친척들을 만나 “너희는 누구냐?” 하고 물었다. 그러자 그들이 “우리는 아하시야왕의 친척들인데 이스라엘 왕족들에게 문안하려고 가는 중입니다” 하고 대답하였다.
14 그때 예후가 그들을 체포하라고 명령하자 부하들이 그들을 잡아 웅덩이 곁으로 끌고 가서 하나도 남기지 않고 42명이나 되는 사람을 모조리 죽였다.
아합의 남은 친척들이 몰살당함
15 그런 다음 예후는 그 곳을 떠나가다가 레갑의 아들 여호나답을 만났다. 예후는 그를 맞으며 “너와 나는 마음이 같은데 네가 나를 돕겠느냐?” 하고 물었다. 여호나답이 그렇게 하겠다고 대답하자 “그러면 네 손을 내밀어라” 하고 예후는 그와 악수한 다음 그를 끌어올려 자기 전차에 태우고 이렇게 말하였다.
16 “너는 나와 함께 가서 내가 여호와를 위해 얼마나 열성적인지 두고 보아라.” 그들은 함께 전차를 타고
17 사마리아로 가서 아합의 친척들을 한 사람도 남기지 않고 모조리 죽였다. 이것은 여호와께서 엘리야에게 말씀하신 그대로 된 것이다.
바알 숭배자들을 몰살시킴
18 예후는 사마리아 사람들을 한자리에 모아 놓고 말하였다. “아합은 바알을 조금밖에 섬기지 않았으나 나는 많이 섬길 것입니다.
19 이제 바알의 모든 예언자들과 그를 섬기는 자들과 그의 모든 제사장들을 불러모으십시오. 한 사람도 빠져서는 안 됩니다. 내가 바알에게 성대한 제사를 드리려고 하는데 누구든지 빠지는 사람이 있으면 죽음을 당할 것입니다.” 이것은 바알을 섬기는 자들을 몰살시키려는 예후의 계책이었다.
20 그러고서 예후는 바알을 위한 대회를 열라고 명령하고 그 날짜를 선포한 다음
21 이스라엘 전역에 사람을 보내 그것을 알렸다. 그러자 바알을 섬기는 자들이 하나도 빠지지 않고 모두 모여들어 바알의 신전을 이 끝에서 저 끝까지 가득 메웠다.
22 그때 예후는 예복 담당 제사장에게 예복을 내어다가 바알을 섬기는 자들에게 주라고 지시하였다.
23 그런 다음 예후는 레갑의 아들 여호나답과 함께 그 신전 안으로 들어가서 거기에 모인 사람들에게 말하였다. “여러분은 바알을 섬기는 사람만 여기에 있게 하고 여호와를 섬기는 사람은 하나도 들어와 있지 못하게 하시오.”
24 그들이 바알에게 제사를 드리려고 다 들어갔을 때 예후는 신전 밖에 80명의 병력을 배치하고 그들에게 이렇게 지시하였다. “너희는 이 사람들을 모조리 죽여라. 만일 한 사람이라도 도망치게 하는 자가 있으면 그가 대신 죽게 될 것이다!”
25 예후는 바알에게 제사를 다 드리고 나서 즉시 밖으로 나와 자기 부하들에게 “너희는 들어가서 모조리 죽이고 한 사람도 도망하지 못하게 하라!” 하고 명령하였다. 그래서 부하들은 들어가 칼로 그들을 죽여 그 시체를 밖으로 끌어내고 바알의 신전 내실로 가서
26 바알 숭배에 사용된 기둥 우상을 끄집어내어 불사르고
27 그 신상을 파괴하며 바알 신전을 헐어 공중 변소를 만들었는데 그것이 오늘날까지 그대로 있다.
28 이렇게 해서 예후는 이스라엘에서 바알 숭배의 흔적을 완전히 없애 버렸다.
29 그러나 그는 벧엘과 단에 금송아지를 세워 이스라엘 백성에게 우상을 숭배하게 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암의 죄에서는 떠나지 않았다.
30 그 후에 여호와께서 예후에게 말씀하셨다. “너는 내가 아합의 집안에 행하고 싶었던 모든 일을 잘 수행하였다. 그러므로 네 자손이 4대를 이어 이스라엘의 왕이 될 것이다.”
31 그러나 예후는 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와의 법을 지키는 데 전력을 쏟지 않고 오히려 이스라엘을 범죄하게 한 여로보암을 그대로 본받았다.
예후의 죽음
32-33 이때 여호와께서 이스라엘의 영토를 줄 이기 시작하셨다. 그래서 시리아의 하사엘왕이 이스라엘을 정복하고 아르논 강변의 아로엘에서부터 바산에 이르는 요단강 동쪽의 모든 길르앗 땅을 빼앗았는데 이 지역은 갓 지파, 르우벤 지파, 그리고 므낫세 동쪽 반 지파 사람들이 사는 곳이었다.
34 그 밖에 예후가 행한 모든 일과 그의 업적은 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.
35 예후는 죽어 사마리아에 장사되었고 그의 아들 여호아하스가 왕위를 계승하였다.
36 예후는 이스라엘 왕으로 사마리아에서 28년 동안 통치하였다.

列王纪下 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶户铲除亚哈家
10 亚哈在撒玛利亚有七十个子孙。耶户写信给那里的首领、长老以及亚哈子孙的监护人，说： 2 “既然你们主人的子孙和你们在一起，你们也拥有车马、坚城和兵器，你们接到这封信后， 3 就可以从你们主人的子孙中选立一个最好的继承王位，为你们主人家而战。” 4 他们都十分害怕，彼此商议说：“两位王都不能抵挡他，我们怎能抵挡呢？” 5 宫廷总管、总督、长老和众监护人便派人送信给耶户，说：“我们是你的仆人，你怎样吩咐，我们就怎样做。我们不会立任何人为王，你认为怎样好，就怎样办吧。”
6 耶户又写了一封信，说：“如果你们归顺我，愿意听从我，明天这个时候，带着你们主人子孙的首级来耶斯列见我。”当时亚哈的七十个子孙都养在城中显贵的府中。 7 这些显贵们接到信后，便杀了亚哈的七十个子孙，把他们的首级放在篮子里，送到耶斯列的耶户那里。 8 使者告诉耶户：“他们将王众子孙的首级送来了。”耶户下令：“把首级分成两堆，放在城门口，一直放到明天早上。” 9 第二天早晨，耶户出去站在城门口，对众人说：“你们都没有罪，是我背叛我主人，把他杀了。可是，是谁杀了这些人呢？ 10 由此可知，耶和华对亚哈家的预言一句也没有落空。耶和华借祂仆人以利亚所说的一切都应验了。” 11 耶户杀了亚哈家留在耶斯列的亲属、大臣、朋友和祭司，一个不留。
12 耶户动身去撒玛利亚，经过牧人剪羊毛的地方时， 13 遇见犹大王亚哈谢的亲属，就问：“你们是谁？”他们答道：“我们是亚哈谢的亲属，现在去问候王和太后一家。” 14 耶户下令活捉他们，他的手下便捉住他们，在剪羊毛处的井旁全部杀掉，共四十二人，一个不留。
15 耶户继续前行，遇见前来迎接他的利甲的儿子约拿达。耶户问候他，并说：“我对你忠诚，你对我也一样忠诚吗？”约拿达答道：“当然！”耶户说：“既然如此，把手伸给我。”他伸出手来，耶户把他拉上车， 16 说：“跟我来，看我怎样热心为耶和华工作。”于是耶户让他坐在车上。 17 到了撒玛利亚，他把亚哈家在撒玛利亚剩下的人全部杀光，一个不留，应验了耶和华对以利亚说的话。
耶户计杀拜巴力之人
18 耶户召集了所有的人，对他们说：“亚哈供奉巴力还不够热心，我耶户要更热心地供奉他。 19 我要向巴力献大祭，你们去把巴力的先知和祭司及所有拜巴力的人一个不漏地召来。凡不来的人休想活命。”耶户这样做，是想用计杀尽拜巴力的人。 20 耶户下令召开祭拜巴力的庄严聚会，于是他们发出通告。 21 耶户派人送信到以色列各地，凡拜巴力的人全都来了，没有一个缺席。他们把整个巴力庙塞得满满的。 22 耶户吩咐掌管礼服的人拿出礼服给他们穿上， 23 然后他和利甲的儿子约拿达进庙向他们宣布说：“你们仔细察看，这里不可有事奉耶和华的人，只允许拜巴力的人在这里。” 24 耶户和约拿达在庙里献上祭物和燔祭。此前，他预先派了八十人在庙外守着，并下令：“我把这些人交在你们手中，谁放走一个，谁就要以命抵偿。” 25 耶户献完燔祭出来，便命令卫兵和将领说：“进去杀死他们，不要放走一人。”卫兵和将领进庙挥刀杀了他们，把尸首抛出去后，走入庙的内殿， 26 将巴力神柱搬出去烧了。 27 他们摧毁了巴力的神柱和庙，把庙当作厕所，至今未变。
28 这样，耶户从以色列扫除了巴力。 29 可是，他重蹈尼八的儿子耶罗波安的覆辙，拜伯特利和但两地的金牛犊，使以色列人陷入罪中。 30 耶和华对耶户说：“你已经做了我视为正的事，照我的意思除掉了亚哈一家，因此你的子孙必做以色列王，直到第四代。” 31 但耶户没有全心全意地遵守以色列的上帝耶和华的律法，却重蹈耶罗波安的覆辙，使以色列人陷入罪中。
耶户去世
32 那时，耶和华开始削减以色列的领土。哈薛攻打以色列各处， 33 侵占了约旦河以东的土地，包括基列全境，即迦得人、吕便人和玛拿西人住的地方，从亚嫩谷附近的亚罗珥起，直到基列和巴珊。 34 耶户其他的事及其一切所作所为和成就都记在以色列的列王史上。 35 他与祖先同眠后葬在撒玛利亚，他儿子约哈斯继位。 36 耶户在撒玛利亚统治以色列二十八年。
2 Kings 10
King James Version
10 And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,
2 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
3 Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
5 And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
10 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.
11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
12 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
13 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
15 And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the Lord, which he spake to Elijah.
18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Baal only.
24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
2 Kings 10
New International Reader's Version
Jehu Wipes Out Ahab’s Royal House
10 Ahab’s royal family in the city of Samaria had a total of 70 sons. Jehu wrote some letters to the officials of the city. He also sent them to the elders there. And he sent them to the people who took care of Ahab’s children. Jehu said, 2 “Your master’s sons are with you. You also have chariots and horses and weapons. And you are living in a city that has high walls around it. As soon as you read this letter, here’s what I want you to do. 3 Choose the best and most respected son of your master. Place him on his father Joram’s throne. Then fight for your master’s royal house.”
4 The leaders of Samaria were terrified. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah couldn’t stand up against Jehu. So how can we?”
5 The city governor and the person in charge of the palace sent a message to Jehu. The message was also from the elders and the people who took care of Ahab’s children. In the message, they said, “We will serve you. We’ll do anything you say. We won’t appoint anyone to be king. Do what you think is best.”
6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter. He said, “You say you are on my side. You say you will obey me. If you really mean it, bring me the heads of your master’s sons. Meet me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow.”
There were 70 royal princes. They were with the most important men of the city. Those men were in charge of raising them. 7 When Jehu’s letter arrived, the men went and got the princes. They killed all 70 of them. They put their heads in baskets. Then they sent them to Jehu in Jezreel. 8 When the messenger arrived, he spoke to Jehu. He told him, “The heads of the princes have been brought here.”
Then Jehu ordered his men, “Put them in two piles. Stack them up at the entrance of the city gate until morning.”
9 The next morning Jehu went out. He stood in front of all the people. He said, “You aren’t guilty of doing anything wrong. I’m the one who made plans against my master Joram. I killed him. But who killed all these? 10 I want you to know that the Lord has spoken against Ahab’s royal house. Not a word of what he has said will fail. The Lord has done exactly what he announced through his servant Elijah.” 11 So Jehu killed everyone from Ahab’s family who was in Jezreel. He also killed all Ahab’s chief men. And he killed Ahab’s close friends and his priests. He didn’t leave anyone alive in Ahab’s family.
12 Then Jehu started out for Samaria. At Beth Eked of the Shepherds, 13 he saw some people. They were relatives of Ahaziah, the king of Judah. Jehu asked them, “Who are you?”
They said, “We are Ahaziah’s relatives. We’ve come down to visit the families of the king and of his mother.”
14 “Take them alive!” Jehu ordered. So his men took them alive. Then they killed them by the well of Beth Eked. They killed a total of 42 of them. Jehu didn’t leave anyone alive.
15 Jehu left there. On the way he met Jehonadab. He was the son of Rekab. Jehonadab was on his way to see Jehu. Jehu greeted him. He asked, “Are you my friend? You know I’m your friend.”
“I am,” Jehonadab answered.
“If that’s true,” said Jehu, “hold out your hand.” So he did. Then Jehu helped him up into the chariot. 16 Jehu said, “Come along with me. See how committed I am to serve the Lord.” Jehu had Jehonadab ride along in his chariot.
17 Jehu came to Samaria. He killed everyone there who was left from Ahab’s family. And so he completely destroyed Ahab’s royal house. That’s what the Lord had said would happen. He had spoken that message to Elijah.
Jehu Kills the People Who Serve Baal
18 Then Jehu brought together all the people. He said to them, “Ahab served the god named Baal a little. I will serve him a lot. 19 Send for all of Baal’s prophets. Also send for all his priests and the others who serve him. Make sure that not a single one is missing. I’m going to hold a great sacrifice to honor Baal. Anyone who doesn’t come will be killed.” But Jehu was lying to them. He was planning to destroy everyone who served Baal.
20 Jehu said, “Call everyone together to honor Baal.” So they did. 21 Then he sent a message all through Israel. All those who served Baal came. Not a single one of them stayed away. They crowded into Baal’s temple. It was full from one end to the other. 22 Jehu spoke to the one who took care of the sacred robes. He told him, “Bring robes for everyone who serves Baal.” So he brought the robes out for them.
23 Then Jehu went into Baal’s temple. Jehonadab, the son of Rekab, went with him. Jehu said to those who served Baal, “Look around. Make sure that no one who serves the Lord is here with you. Make sure only those who serve Baal are here.” 24 So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Jehu had stationed 80 men outside. He warned them, “I’m placing some men in your hands. Don’t let a single one of them escape. If you do, you will pay for his life with yours.”
25 Jehu finished sacrificing the burnt offering. As soon as he did, he gave an order to the guards and officers. He commanded them, “Go inside and kill everyone. Don’t let a single one of them escape.” So they cut them down with their swords. The guards and officers threw the bodies outside. Then they entered the most sacred area inside Baal’s temple. 26 They brought the sacred stone of Baal outside. They burned it up. 27 So they destroyed Baal’s sacred stone. They also tore down Baal’s temple. People have used it as a public toilet to this day.
28 So Jehu destroyed the worship of the god named Baal in Israel. 29 But he didn’t turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit those same sins. Jehu worshiped the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “You have done well. You have accomplished what is right in my eyes. You have done to Ahab’s royal house everything I wanted you to do. So your sons after you will sit on the throne of Israel. They will rule until the time of your children’s grandchildren.” 31 But Jehu wasn’t careful to obey the law of the Lord. He didn’t obey the God of Israel with all his heart. He didn’t turn away from the sins of Jeroboam. Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit those same sins.
32 In those days the Lord began to make the kingdom of Israel smaller. Hazael gained control over many parts of Israel. He gained control over all their territory 33 east of the Jordan River. It included the whole land of Gilead from Aroer by the Arnon River valley all the way to Bashan. That was the territory of Gad, Reuben and Manasseh.
34 The other events of Jehu’s rule are written down. Everything he did and accomplished is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
35 Jehu joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the next king after him. 36 Jehu had ruled over Israel in Samaria for 28 years.
