everything that happens in the land.”

soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to

livestock.”
Now
Ahab told

Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

messenger unto
Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to

shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”

every one of you.

ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take

smite every fenced city, and
every choice city, and shall fell
every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and
mar every good piece of land with stones.

every good piece of land cast
every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof;

Elisha.
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of

babble,” he replied.
Then they hasted, and took
every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and
blew with
trumpets, saying,
Jehu is king.
Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under
Jehu on the bare steps. Then they
blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “
Jehu is king!”
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.
So
Jehu killed
everyone in
Jezreel who remained of the house of
Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single
survivor.
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.
When
Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down
everyone belonging to
Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to
Elijah.
And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
You must
surround the king with weapons in hand, and
anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
Then
Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought
voluntarily into the house of the LORD.
Let the priests take it to them,
every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house,
wheresoever any breach shall be found.
Let
every priest receive it from his
constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
