Jehú rey de Israel

El profeta Eliseo llamó a uno de los hijos de los profetas(A), y le dijo: «Prepárate, toma este frasco de aceite(B) en tu mano(C) y ve a Ramot de Galaad(D). Cuando llegues allá, busca a Jehú(E), hijo de Josafat, hijo de Nimsi(F). Entra y haz que se levante de entre sus hermanos, y llévalo a un aposento interior. Entonces toma el frasco de aceite, derrámalo sobre su cabeza, y dile: “Así dice el Señor: ‘Yo te he ungido(G) rey sobre Israel’”. Abre luego la puerta y huye, no esperes».

El joven, el siervo del profeta, fue a Ramot de Galaad(H). Cuando llegó allá los capitanes del ejército estaban sentados, y él dijo: «Capitán, tengo un mensaje para ti». Y Jehú dijo: «¿Para cuál de nosotros?». Y él dijo: «Para ti, capitán». Entonces Jehú se levantó y entró en la casa, y el joven derramó el aceite sobre su cabeza y le dijo: «Así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Yo te he ungido rey sobre el pueblo del Señor, sobre Israel(I). Tú herirás la casa de Acab tu señor, para que Yo cobre venganza por la sangre de Mis siervos(J) los profetas(K), y la sangre de todos los siervos del Señor derramada por mano de Jezabel(L). Toda la casa de Acab perecerá, y cortaré de Acab todo varón(M), tanto siervo como libre en Israel(N). Yo pondré la casa de Acab como la casa de Jeroboam(O), hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa(P), hijo de Ahías. 10 Los perros se comerán a Jezabel en el campo[a] de Jezreel, y nadie la sepultará(Q)”». Entonces abrió la puerta y huyó.

11 Entonces Jehú salió a los siervos de su señor, y uno le dijo: «¿Va todo bien(R)? ¿Por qué vino a ti este loco(S)?». Y él les dijo: «Ustedes conocen bien al hombre y sus palabras». 12 Y ellos dijeron: «Mentira; cuéntanos ahora». Y él dijo: «Así y así me dijo: “Así dice el Señor: ‘Yo te he ungido rey sobre Israel’”».

13 Entonces todos se apresuraron y cada uno tomó su manto y lo puso bajo Jehú sobre los escalones(T), tocaron la trompeta y dijeron: «Jehú es rey(U)».

Muerte de Joram

14 Y Jehú, hijo de Josafat, hijo de Nimsi, conspiró contra Joram. El rey Joram, con todo Israel, había estado defendiendo a Ramot de Galaad contra Hazael, rey de Aram(V), 15 pero Joram[b] había regresado a Jezreel para ser curado de las heridas que los arameos le habían hecho cuando peleó contra Hazael, rey de Aram. Y Jehú dijo: «Si es el deseo de ustedes, que nadie se escape ni salga de la ciudad para ir a anunciarlo en Jezreel(W)». 16 Entonces Jehú montó en un carro y fue a Jezreel, porque Joram estaba allí en cama. Y Ocozías, rey de Judá, había descendido para ver a Joram(X).

17 Y el centinela que estaba en la torre de Jezreel vio la comitiva de Jehú que venía, y dijo: «Veo una comitiva». Y Joram dijo: «Toma un jinete y envíalo a su encuentro, y que diga: “¿Hay paz?”». 18 Fue el jinete a su encuentro, y dijo: «Así dice el rey: “¿Hay paz?”». Y Jehú dijo: «¿Qué tienes tú que ver con la paz? Ponte[c] detrás de mí(Y)». Y el centinela le avisó: «El mensajero llegó hasta ellos, pero no regresó». 19 Entonces envió un segundo jinete, que vino a ellos, y dijo: «Así dice el rey: “¿Hay paz?”». Y Jehú respondió: «¿Qué tienes tú que ver con la paz? Ponte detrás de mí». 20 El centinela le avisó de nuevo(Z): «Él llegó hasta ellos, y no regresó; y el modo de guiar es como el guiar de Jehú, hijo de Nimsi, porque guía alocadamente(AA)».

21 Entonces Joram(AB) dijo: «Preparen el carro». Y prepararon su carro. Y salieron Joram, rey de Israel, y Ocozías, rey de Judá, cada uno en su carro, y fueron al encuentro de Jehú, y lo hallaron en el campo de Nabot de Jezreel(AC). 22 Cuando Joram vio a Jehú, dijo: «¿Hay paz, Jehú?». Y él respondió: «¿Qué paz, mientras sean tantas las prostituciones de tu madre Jezabel(AD) y sus hechicerías?».

23 Pero Joram volvió las riendas[d] para huir, y dijo a Ocozías: «¡Traición(AE), Ocozías!». 24 Pero Jehú entesó su arco con toda su fuerza e hirió a Joram en la espalda(AF); y la flecha salió por su corazón y se desplomó en su carro. 25 Entonces Jehú dijo a su oficial Bidcar: «Tómalo y tíralo en la porción del campo de Nabot de Jezreel(AG), pues recuerdo cuando tú y yo íbamos juntos montados detrás de su padre Acab(AH), que el Señor pronunció esta sentencia contra él(AI): 26 “Ayer ciertamente he visto la sangre de Nabot(AJ) y la sangre de sus hijos”, declaró el Señor, “y te recompensaré en este campo(AK)”, declaró el Señor. Ahora pues, tómalo y tíralo en el campo, conforme a la palabra del Señor».

27 Cuando Ocozías, rey de Judá, vio esto, huyó por el camino de la casa del huerto(AL). Y Jehú lo persiguió y dijo: «Mátenlo a él también en el carro». Y lo hirieron en la subida de Gur, que está en Ibleam. Y huyó a Meguido(AM), y allí murió. 28 Entonces sus siervos lo llevaron en carro a Jerusalén, y lo sepultaron en su sepulcro(AN) con sus padres en la ciudad de David.

29 En el año once de Joram, hijo de Acab, Ocozías había comenzado a reinar sobre Judá(AO).

30 Y llegó Jehú a Jezreel, y cuando Jezabel lo oyó, se pintó los ojos, adornó(AP) su cabeza y se asomó por la ventana. 31 Cuando Jehú entraba por la puerta, ella dijo: «¿Le va bien a Zimri, asesino de tu señor(AQ)?». 32 Entonces Jehú alzó su rostro hacia la ventana y dijo: «¿Quién está conmigo? ¿Quién?». Y dos o tres oficiales se asomaron desde arriba. 33 Y Jehú les dijo: «Échenla abajo». Y la echaron abajo y parte de su sangre salpicó la pared y los caballos, y él la pisoteó. 34 Cuando él entró, comió y bebió; entonces dijo: «Encárguense ahora de esta maldita(AR) y entiérrenla, pues es hija de rey(AS)».

35 Cuando fueron a enterrarla, no encontraron de ella más que el cráneo, los pies y las palmas de sus manos. 36 Entonces, volvieron y se lo hicieron saber. Entonces Jehú dijo: «Esta es la palabra que el Señor habló por medio de Su siervo Elías el tisbita: “En la parcela de Jezreel los perros comerán la carne de Jezabel(AT); 37 y el cadáver de Jezabel será como estiércol sobre la superficie del campo(AU) en la parcela de Jezreel, para que no puedan decir: ‘Esta es Jezabel’”».

Jehu Anointed King of Israel

The prophet Elisha summoned a man from the company(A) of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(B) take this flask of olive oil(C) with you and go to Ramoth Gilead.(D) When you get there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go to him, get him away from his companions and take him into an inner room. Then take the flask and pour the oil(E) on his head and declare, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run; don’t delay!”

So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead. When he arrived, he found the army officers sitting together. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said.

“For which of us?” asked Jehu.

“For you, commander,” he replied.

Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil(F) on Jehu’s head and declared, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord’s people Israel. You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge(G) the blood of my servants(H) the prophets and the blood of all the Lord’s servants shed by Jezebel.(I) The whole house(J) of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab every last male(K) in Israel—slave or free.[a] I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam(L) son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha(M) son of Ahijah. 10 As for Jezebel, dogs(N) will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and ran.

11 When Jehu went out to his fellow officers, one of them asked him, “Is everything all right? Why did this maniac(O) come to you?”

“You know the man and the sort of things he says,” Jehu replied.

12 “That’s not true!” they said. “Tell us.”

Jehu said, “Here is what he told me: ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”

13 They quickly took their cloaks and spread(P) them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet(Q) and shouted, “Jehu is king!”

Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah(R)

14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth Gilead(S) against Hazael king of Aram, 15 but King Joram[b] had returned to Jezreel to recover(T) from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, “If you desire to make me king, don’t let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.” 16 Then he got into his chariot and rode to Jezreel, because Joram was resting there and Ahaziah(U) king of Judah had gone down to see him.

17 When the lookout(V) standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.”

“Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?(W)’”

18 The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”

“What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”

The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”

19 So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”

Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”

20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like(X) that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”

21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth(Y) the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”

“How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel(Z) abound?”

23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery,(AA) Ahaziah!”

24 Then Jehu drew his bow(AB) and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy(AC) against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth(AD) and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.’[c] Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”(AE)

27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan.[d] Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam,(AF) but he escaped to Megiddo(AG) and died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot(AH) to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David. 29 (In the eleventh(AI) year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)

Jezebel Killed

30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup,(AJ) arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri,(AK) you murderer of your master?”[e]

32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.(AL)

34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”(AM) 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs(AN) will devour Jezebel’s flesh.[f](AO) 37 Jezebel’s body will be like dung(AP) on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

Jehu Anointed King of Israel

And Elisha the prophet called one of (A)the sons of the prophets, and said to him, (B)“Get[a] yourself ready, take this flask of oil in your hand, (C)and go to Ramoth Gilead. Now when you arrive at that place, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among (D)his associates, and take him to an inner room. Then (E)take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I have anointed you king over Israel.” ’ Then open the door and flee, and do not delay.”

So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead. And when he arrived, there were the captains of the army sitting; and he said, “I have a message for you, Commander.”

Jehu said, “For which one of us?”

And he said, “For you, Commander.” Then he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, (F)“Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may (G)avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, (H)at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and (I)I will cut off from Ahab all (J)the males in Israel, both (K)bond and free. So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of (L)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of (M)Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 (N)The dogs shall eat Jezebel on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.’ ” And he opened the door and fled.

11 Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did (O)this madman come to you?”

And he said to them, “You know the man and his babble.”

12 And they said, “A lie! Tell us now.”

So he said, “Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I have anointed you king over Israel.” ’ ”

13 Then each man hastened (P)to take his garment and put it [b]under him on the top of the steps; and they blew trumpets, saying, “Jehu is king!”

Joram of Israel Killed

14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against (Q)Joram. (Now Joram had been defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, against Hazael king of Syria. 15 But (R)King [c]Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, “If you are so minded, let no one leave or escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.” 16 So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was laid up there; (S)and Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

17 Now a watchman stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company of men.”

And Joram said, “Get a horseman and send him to meet them, and let him say, [d]Is it peace?’ ”

18 So the horseman went to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king: ‘Is it peace?’ ”

And Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? [e]Turn around and follow me.”

So the watchman reported, saying, “The messenger went to them, but is not coming back.”

19 Then he sent out a second horseman who came to them, and said, “Thus says the king: ‘Is it peace?’ ”

And Jehu answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn around and follow me.”

20 So the watchman reported, saying, “He went up to them and is not coming back; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously!”

21 Then Joram said, [f]“Make ready.” And his chariot was made ready. Then (T)Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and [g]met him (U)on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?”

So he answered, “What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many?”

23 Then Joram turned around and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!” 24 Now Jehu [h]drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot. 25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him into the tract of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that (V)the Lord laid this (W)burden upon him: 26 ‘Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the Lord, (X)‘and I will repay you [i]in this plot,’ says the Lord. Now therefore, take and throw him on the plot of ground, according to the word of the Lord.”

Ahaziah of Judah Killed(Y)

27 But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the road to [j]Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, [k]“Shoot him also in the chariot.” And they shot him at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to (Z)Megiddo, and died there. 28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David. 29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

Jezebel’s Violent Death

30 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; (AA)and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. 31 Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, (AB)Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”

32 And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. 34 And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for (AC)she was a king’s daughter.” 35 So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. 36 Therefore they came back and told him. And he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, (AD)‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; 37 and the corpse of Jezebel shall be (AE)as refuse on the surface of the field, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they shall not say, “Here lies Jezebel.” ’ ”

耶户被膏为以色列王

以利沙先知叫了一个先知的门徒来,吩咐他:“你束上腰,手拿这瓶膏油往基列拉末去。 你到了那里,要在那里寻找宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户。你去,使他从弟兄中起来,带他进最里面的内室, 把瓶里的膏油倒在他头上,说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你作以色列王。’然后你就开门逃跑,不要等候。”

于是那青年,那年轻的先知往基列拉末去了。 他到了那里,看哪,众军官都坐着,就说:“长官,我有话对你说。”耶户说:“你要对我们哪一个说呢?”他说:“长官,我要对你说。” 耶户就起来,进了内室,那青年把膏油倒在他头上,对他说:“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:‘我膏你作耶和华百姓以色列的王。 你要击杀你主人亚哈的全家,我好在耶洗别身上,为我仆人众先知和耶和华所有仆人的血伸冤。 亚哈全家都必灭亡,凡属亚哈的男丁,无论是奴役的、自由的,我必从以色列中剪除。 我必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 至于耶洗别,狗必在耶斯列田里吃她,无人埋葬。’”于是那青年就开门逃跑了。

11 耶户出来,回到他主人的臣仆那里,有一人问他说:“平安吗?这疯狂的人为什么到你这里来呢?”他对他们说:“你们认得那人,也知道他在胡说。” 12 他们说:“说谎!告诉我们吧。”他说:“他如此如此对我说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你作以色列的王。’” 13 他们各人就急忙把自己的衣服铺在台阶的上层,在耶户的下面;他们吹角,说:“耶户作王了!”

以色列王约兰被杀

14 这样,宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户背叛了约兰。先前约兰以色列众人因为亚兰哈薛的缘故,把守基列拉末 15 后来约兰王回到耶斯列,医治他与亚兰哈薛打仗时,被亚兰人击打所受的伤。耶户说:“若你们有这样的意思,就不要让人溜出城,到耶斯列去报信。” 16 于是耶户驾战车往耶斯列去,因为约兰卧病在那里。犹大亚哈谢已经下去看望他。

17 有一个守望的人站在耶斯列的城楼上,看见耶户带着一队人来,就说:“我看见一队人。”约兰说:“派一个骑兵去迎接他们,问说:‘平安吗?’” 18 骑兵就去迎接耶户,说:“王如此说:‘平安吗?’”耶户说:“平安不平安跟你有什么关系呢?转身跟在我后面吧!”守望的人说:“使者到了他们那里,却不回来。” 19 王又派第二个骑兵去。这人到了他们那里,说:“王如此说:‘平安吗?’”耶户说:“平安不平安跟你有什么关系呢?转身跟在我后面吧!” 20 守望的人又说:“他到了他们那里,也不回来。车驾得很凶猛,好像宁示的孙子耶户在驾车。”

21 约兰吩咐说:“套车!”人就给他套车。以色列约兰犹大亚哈谢各坐自己的车出去迎接耶户,在耶斯列拿伯的田那里遇见他。 22 约兰耶户就说:“耶户,平安吗?”耶户说:“你母亲耶洗别的淫行邪术这样多,怎么能平安呢?” 23 约兰用手转过车来逃跑,对亚哈谢说:“亚哈谢啊,反了!” 24 耶户全力拉弓,射中约兰两臂中间,箭从心窝穿出,约兰就仆倒在车上。 25 耶户对他的军官毕甲说:“把他抛在耶斯列拿伯的田里。你当记得,你我一同驾车跟随他父亲亚哈的时候,耶和华对亚哈说了预言, 26 耶和华说:‘我昨日看见拿伯的血和他众子的血,我发誓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,把他抛在这田里。”

犹大王亚哈谢被杀

27 犹大亚哈谢看见了,就沿着伯‧哈干的路逃跑。耶户追赶他,说:“把这人也击杀在车上,在靠近以伯莲姑珥坡上[a]。”他逃到米吉多,就死在那里。 28 他的臣仆用车把他的尸体运回耶路撒冷,与他祖先同葬在大卫城,他自己的坟墓里。

29 亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年,亚哈谢登基作了犹大王。

耶洗别王后被杀

30 耶户到了耶斯列耶洗别听见了,就画眼影、梳头,从窗户往外观看。 31 耶户进了城门,耶洗别说:“杀主人的心利啊,平安吗?” 32 耶户向窗户抬头,说:“有谁顺从我?谁?”有两三个太监向外看他。 33 耶户说:“把她抛下来!”他们就把她抛下来。她的血溅在墙上和马上,耶户践踏在她身上。 34 耶户进去,吃了喝了,说:“你们去处理这被诅咒的妇人,埋了她,因为她是王的女儿。” 35 他们去了,要埋葬她,却只找到她的头骨和脚,以及手掌。 36 他们回来报告耶户耶户说:“这正应验耶和华藉他仆人提斯比以利亚所说的话,说:‘在耶斯列田里,狗必吃耶洗别的肉, 37 耶洗别的尸体必在耶斯列田里的地面上如同粪土,甚至没有人可说:这是耶洗别。’”
