10 ¶ Akab te gen swasanndis pitit gason nan lavil Samari. Jeou ekri yon lèt, li voye yon kopi bay tout chèf ki lavil Samari yo, bay chèf fanmi yo ak bay moun ki reskonsab pitit Akab yo. Men sa li voye di yo:

--Mwen konnen se nou menm ki gen reskonsablite tout pitit mèt nou yo, cha lagè li yo, chwal li yo, ranpa lavil la ak tout zam ki ladan l'. Resevwa n'a resevwa lèt sa a,

n'a chwazi yonn nan pitit mèt nou an, sa nou wè ki pi bon an, sa ki gen kalite pou sa, n'a mete l' sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'. Lèfini, n'a goumen pou pran defans li.

Men mesye yo te pè anpil, yo di: --De wa pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak li. Kote se nou ki pou ta rive fè l'!

Se konsa ofisye ki te anchaj palè a, gouvènè lavil la, chèf fanmi yo ak reskonsab pitit wa yo voye di Jeou: --Se sou zòd ou nou ye, n'ap fè tou sa ou di nou fè. Men, nou p'ap mete pesonn wa. W'a fè sa w'a wè ki pi bon.

Jeou voye yon dezyèm lèt ba yo, li di yo: --Si nou avè m', si nou vle koute lòd mwen enben, denmen lè konsa, pote tèt pitit Akab yo ban mwen isit lavil Jizreyèl. Swasanndis pitit Akab yo te lakay grannèg lavil Samari ki t'ap elve yo.

Lè yo resevwa lèt Jeou a, yo touye swasanndis pitit Akab yo, yo mete tèt yo nan panyen, yo voye yo bay Jeou lavil Jizreyèl.

Lè yo vin di Jeou yo te pote tèt pitit wa Akab yo, li bay lòd pou yo fè de pil ak yo bò pòtay lavil la, kite yo la jouk denmen maten.

Nan denmen maten li soti, l' ale kanpe bò pòtay la, li di moun ki te la yo: --Se mwen menm ki te fè konplo kont Joram, mèt mwen an, pou m' te touye l'. Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè nan sa. Men, sa yo, ki moun ki touye yo?

10 Sa vle di Seyè a pa nan pale mete la. Tou sa li te di sou fanmi Akab la te fèt pou rive vre. Se Seyè a menm ki fè tou sa rive jan li te di sa nan bouch Eli, sèvitè l' la.

11 Se konsa Jeou touye tout rès fanmi Akab ki te lavil Jizreyèl, tout grannèg ki t'ap sèvi avè l' li yo, bon zanmi l' yo ak prèt li yo. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.

12 Apre sa, li pati pou lavil Samari. Sou wout la, lè li rive bò kan gadò mouton yo,

13 li jwenn ak kèk fanmi Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Li mande yo: --Ki moun nou ye? Yo reponn li: --Nou se fanmi wa Okozyas. Nou pral di pitit wa a ak pitit larenn lan bonjou.

14 Jeou bay moun ki te avè l' yo lòd sa a: --Pran yo tou vivan! Yo pran yo tou vivan, yo koupe kou yo bò kan gadò mouton yo. Te gen karannde moun antou. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.

15 ¶ Jeou pati ankò. Sou wout li, li kontre ak Jonadab, pitit gason Rekab la, ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li. Jeou di l' bonjou, epi li di l' konsa: --Ou gen menm lide avè m'? Eske w'ap mache avè m'? Jonadab reponn: --Wi, m'ap mache avè ou. Jeou di li: --Si nou dakò, ban m' lanmen. Jonadab ak Jeou bay lanmen. Jeou ede l' moute sou cha lagè a bò kote l'.

16 Li di l' konsa: --Ann al avè m'. W'a wè jan mwen soti pou m' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa yo pati ansanm sou cha a.

17 Lè yo rive lavil Samari, Jeou touye dènye rès moun nan fanmi Akab la. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Eli a.

18 Apre sa, Jeou reyini tout pèp lavil Samari a, li di yo: --Akab te sèvi Baal yon ti kras, mwen menm m'ap sèvi l' plis pase l'.

19 Se poutèt sa, fè chache tout pwofèt yo, tout sèvitè Baal yo ak tout prèt li yo, fè yo vin jwenn mwen. Mwen vle pou tout moun la, paske mwen gen pou m' fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Si yon moun pa la l'ap mouri. Men se yon plan Jeou te gen nan tèt li pou l' te touye tout moun k'ap sèvi Baal.

20 Se poutèt sa li bay lòd pou yo fè tout moun konnen yo pral fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Yo fè piblikasyon an.

21 Jeou voye bay nouvèl la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout moun ki sèvi Baal yo vini. Pa t' gen yonn ki pa t' la. Yo tout antre nan tanp Baal la, yo plenn l' nèt.

22 Jeou rele moun ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo, li di l' konsa: --Pran rad seremoni bay tout sèvitè Baal yo. Nonm lan mete rad yo deyò, li bay yo chak yonn.

23 Lèfini, Jeou ak Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, rive nan tanp Baal la, li di moun yo: --Se pou nou sèten se renk moun ki sèvi Baal ki la avè nou. Pa kite ankenn moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan mitan nou.

24 Tout moun yo antre nan tanp lan pou ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Baal ak bèt pou yo boule pou li. Men, Jeou te mete katreven moun pa l' sou deyò tanp lan. Li te avèti yo, li te di yo: --Si yonn nan nou kite yonn nan moun mwen pral lage nan men nou yo chape, se li menm k'ap mouri nan plas li.

25 Fini Jeou fini boule bèt yo pou Baal, li di gad yo ak kaptenn yo: --Antre, touye yo tout! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape! Mesye Jeou yo antre ak nepe nan men yo, yo touye tout moun, yo trennen kadav yo met deyò. Lèfini, yo tounen nan pyès kote lotèl la ye nan tanp Baal la.

26 Yo pran poto yo te mete kanpe pou Baal la, yo pote l' deyò, yo boule l'.

27 Yo demoli lotèl Baal la ansanm ak tanp lan. Yo pran tanp lan yo fè l' sèvi latrin jouk jounen jòdi a.

28 Se konsa Jeou fè disparèt sèvis Baal nan peyi Izrayèl la.

29 ¶ Men li tonbe nan menm peche ak wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal: li sèvi estati lò an fòm towo bèf ki te lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.

30 Seyè a di Jeou konsa: --Ou fè fanmi wa Akab la tou sa m' te vle fè yo. Ou byen fèt, ou fè sa ki dwat nan je m'. Se poutèt sa, pitit pitit ou yo pral wa nan peyi Izrayèl la rive sou kat jenerasyon.

31 Men, Jeou pa t' bat kò l' plis pase sa pou l' te mache dapre lalwa Seyè a. Okontrè, li lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak wa Jewoboram ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal.

32 Lè sa a, Seyè a konmanse wonyen sou teritwa peyi Izrayèl la. Wa Azayèl atake moun Izrayèl yo toupatou nan peyi a,

33 depi sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden jouk lavil Awoyè, anwo ravin Amon an nan sid, ki vle di nan tout peyi Galarad la ak peyi Bazan an kote moun branch fanmi Gad, fanmi Woubenn ak fanmi Manase yo rete.

34 Tout rès istwa Jeou a ansanm ak tou sa li te fè ak kote yo rakonte jan li te vanyan sòlda, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.

35 Lè Jeou mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joakaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

36 Jeou te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl pandan ventwitan nan lavil Samari.

Ahab’s Family Killed

10 Now there were in Samaria(A) seventy sons(B) of the house of Ahab. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria: to the officials of Jezreel,[a](C) to the elders and to the guardians(D) of Ahab’s children. He said, “You have your master’s sons with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weapons. Now as soon as this letter reaches you, choose the best and most worthy of your master’s sons and set him on his father’s throne. Then fight for your master’s house.”

But they were terrified and said, “If two kings could not resist him, how can we?”

So the palace administrator, the city governor, the elders and the guardians sent this message to Jehu: “We are your servants(E) and we will do anything you say. We will not appoint anyone as king; you do whatever you think best.”

Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side and will obey me, take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow.”

Now the royal princes, seventy of them, were with the leading men of the city, who were rearing them. When the letter arrived, these men took the princes and slaughtered all seventy(F) of them. They put their heads(G) in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel. When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the princes.”

Then Jehu ordered, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning.”

The next morning Jehu went out. He stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these? 10 Know, then, that not a word the Lord has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail. The Lord has done what he announced(H) through his servant Elijah.”(I) 11 So Jehu(J) killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his chief men, his close friends and his priests, leaving him no survivor.(K)

12 Jehu then set out and went toward Samaria. At Beth Eked of the Shepherds, 13 he met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?”

They said, “We are relatives of Ahaziah,(L) and we have come down to greet the families of the king and of the queen mother.(M)

14 “Take them alive!” he ordered. So they took them alive and slaughtered them by the well of Beth Eked—forty-two of them. He left no survivor.(N)

15 After he left there, he came upon Jehonadab(O) son of Rekab,(P) who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, “Are you in accord with me, as I am with you?”

“I am,” Jehonadab answered.

“If so,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.”(Q) So he did, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot. 16 Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal(R) for the Lord.” Then he had him ride along in his chariot.

17 When Jehu came to Samaria, he killed all who were left there of Ahab’s family;(S) he destroyed them, according to the word of the Lord spoken to Elijah.

Servants of Baal Killed

18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served(T) Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now summon(U) all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. See that no one is missing, because I am going to hold a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come will no longer live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

20 Jehu said, “Call an assembly(V) in honor of Baal.” So they proclaimed it. 21 Then he sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one stayed away. They crowded into the temple of Baal until it was full from one end to the other. 22 And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring robes for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out robes for them.

23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rekab went into the temple of Baal. Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around and see that no one who serves the Lord is here with you—only servants of Baal.” 24 So they went in to make sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had posted eighty men outside with this warning: “If one of you lets any of the men I am placing in your hands escape, it will be your life for his life.”(W)

25 As soon as Jehu had finished making the burnt offering, he ordered the guards and officers: “Go in and kill(X) them; let no one escape.”(Y) So they cut them down with the sword. The guards and officers threw the bodies out and then entered the inner shrine of the temple of Baal. 26 They brought the sacred stone(Z) out of the temple of Baal and burned it. 27 They demolished the sacred stone of Baal and tore down the temple(AA) of Baal, and people have used it for a latrine to this day.

28 So Jehu(AB) destroyed Baal worship in Israel. 29 However, he did not turn away from the sins(AC) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves(AD) at Bethel(AE) and Dan.

30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”(AF) 31 Yet Jehu was not careful(AG) to keep the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins(AH) of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit.

32 In those days the Lord began to reduce(AI) the size of Israel. Hazael(AJ) overpowered the Israelites throughout their territory 33 east of the Jordan in all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben and Manasseh), from Aroer(AK) by the Arnon(AL) Gorge through Gilead to Bashan.

34 As for the other events of Jehu’s reign, all he did, and all his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals(AM) of the kings of Israel?

35 Jehu rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son succeeded him as king. 36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
