And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

יֵה֣וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

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

And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;

יֵה֨וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To thee, 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 man to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.

וְיֵה֗וּא (יֵה֗וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

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.

יֵהֽוּא׃ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

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

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is your minds, then let none go forth nor escape from 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. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

יֵהוּא֙ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And 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 saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he doth not return.

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.

יֵה֛וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and doth not return? and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

יֵה֣וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

יֵה֔וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the lewd acts of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

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

And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram 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. And Jehu followed 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.

יֵה֗וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window.

יֵה֖וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

וְיֵה֖וּא (יֵה֖וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,

יֵה֨וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thy eyes.

יֵה֤וּא׀ ye.Hu' “Jehu”

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

יֵה֗וּא ye.Hu' “Jehu”

Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

וְיֵה֗וּא (יֵה֗וּא) ye.Hu' “Jehu”

And Jehu convened all the people, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

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

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

וְיֵהוּא֙ (יֵהוּא֙) ye.Hu' “Jehu”
