2 Kings 9:14-16

New American Standard Bible

Jehu Assassinates Jehoram (Joram)

¹⁴ So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. ^(A)Now Joram ^[a]with all Israel was ^[b]defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram, ¹⁵ but ^(B)King ^[c]Joram had returned to Jezreel to have himself healed of the wounds which the Arameans had ^[d]inflicted on him when he fought Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said to the other men, “If this is your ^[e]intent, then let no ^[f]one escape from the city to go tell about it in Jezreel.” ¹⁶ Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, since Joram was lying there recovering. ^(C)And Ahaziah the king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
