14 Thus Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. ((A)Now Joram with all Israel had been on guard at Ramoth-gilead against (B)Hazael king of Syria, 15 (C)but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) So Jehu said, “If this is your decision, then let no one slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.”
