and Jehu the son of Nimshi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.

יֵה֣וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha kill.

יֵה֑וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”יֵה֖וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

When you come there, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner chamber.

יֵה֨וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

When he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to you, captain. Jehu said, To which of us all? He said, To you, O captain.

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? why came this mad fellow to you? He said to them, You know the man and what his talk was.

וְיֵה֗וּא (יֵה֗וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king.

יֵהֽוּא׃ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me. The watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back.

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me.

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

The watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and isn't coming back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.

יֵה֣וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Joram said, Make ready. They made ready his chariot. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

יֵה֔וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? He answered, What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?

יֵה֔וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”יֵה֑וּא ye.Hu' “O Jehu”

Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

וְיֵה֞וּא (יֵה֞וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: [supplied: and they struck him] at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.

יֵה֗וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

When Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

יֵה֖וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, you Zimri, your master's murderer?

וְיֵה֖וּא (יֵה֖וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up [supplied: the sons of] Ahab, saying,

יֵה֨וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up [supplied: the children], sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants, and will do all that you shall bid us; we will not make any man king: you do that which is good in your eyes.

יֵה֤וּא׀ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

So Jehu struck all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

יֵה֗וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are you? They answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah: and we go down to Greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.

וְיֵה֗וּא (יֵה֗וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”יֵה֖וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [supplied: to do] to Baal; whoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

וְיֵהוּא֙ (יֵהוּא֙) ye.Hu' “Jehu”
