But when
Ahaziah the
king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And
Jehu followed after him, and said,
Smite him also in the
chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to
Megiddo, and died there.
When
King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And
Jehu pursued him,
shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot
Ahaziah in his
chariot on the
Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to
Megiddo and died there.
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this
cursed woman, and
bury her: for she is a
king’s daughter.
Then
Jehu went in and
ate and
drank. “Take care of this
cursed woman,” he said, “and
bury her, for she was the daughter of a
king.”

bid us; we will not make any
king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

administrator, the
overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to

anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”

hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to
Jezreel by to
morrow this time. Now the
king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
Then
Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at
Jezreel by this time
tomorrow.” Now the sons of the
king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.
And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the
king’s sons, and
slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to
Jezreel.
And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the
king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to
Jehu at
Jezreel.

messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the
king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

messenger arrived, he told
Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the
king.” And
Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”

king and of the queen mother.”

You must
surround the

cried, Treason, Treason.

king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against
king Ahaz came from Damascus.
And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions
King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time
King Ahaz had returned.
And when the
king was come from Damascus, the
king saw the altar: and the
king approached to the altar, and offered
thereon.
When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
And
king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the
king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and
sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the
brasen altar shall be for me to
enquire by.
Then
King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the
king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land.
Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”
Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that
king Ahaz commanded.
So Uriah the priest did just as
King Ahaz had commanded.
And
king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the
laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the
brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a
pavement of stones.
King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
And the
covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the
king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the
king of Assyria.
And on account of the
king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath
canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
Now the rest of the acts of
Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of
Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
