2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:
Eliseus autem prophetes vocavit unum de filiis prophetarum, et ait illi: Accinge lumbos tuos, et tolle lenticulam olei hanc in manu tua, et vade in Ramoth Galaad.
2 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;
Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Iehu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi: et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum, et introduces in interius cubiculum.
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
Tenensque lenticulam olei, fundes super caput eius, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel. Aperiesque ostium, et fugies, et non ibi subsistes.
4 So the young man, [even] the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
Abiit ergo adolescens puer prophetæ in Ramoth Galaad,
5 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, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
et ingressus est illuc: ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant, et ait: Verbum mihi ad te o princeps. Dixitque Iehu: Ad quem ex omnibus nobis? At ille dixit: Ad te o princeps.
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, [even] over Israel.
Et surrexit et ingressus est cubiculum: at ille fudit oleum super caput eius, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Unxi te regem super populum Domini Israel,
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
et percuties domum Achab domini tui, et ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum, et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Iezabel.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
Perdamque omnem domum Achab: et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel.
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
Et dabo domum Achab, sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled.
Iezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Iezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam. Aperuitque ostium, et fugit.
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and [one] said unto him, [Is] all well? wherefore came this mad [fellow] to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
Iehu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui: qui dixerunt ei: Recte ne sunt omnia? quid venit insanus iste ad te? Qui ait eis: Nostis hominem, et quid locutus sit.
12 And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
At ille responderunt: Falsum est, sed magis narra nobis. Qui ait eis: Hæc et hæc locutus est mihi, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel.
13 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.
Festinaverunt itaque, et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus eius, in similitudinem tribunalis, et cecinerunt tuba, atque dixerunt: Regnavit Iehu.
14 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.
Coniuravit ergo Iehu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram: porro Ioram obsederat Ramoth Galaad, ipse, et omnis Israel contra Hazael regem Syriæ:
15 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.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, [then] let none go forth [nor] escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jezreel.
et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Iezrahel propter vulnera, quia percusserant eum Syri, præliantem contra Hazael regem Syriæ: Dixitque Iehu: Si placet vobis, nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate, ne vadat, et nunciet in Iezrahel.
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
Et ascendit, et profectus est in Iezrahel: Ioram enim ægrotabat ibi, et Ochozias rex Iuda descenderat ad visitandum Ioram.
17 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 an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, [Is it] peace?
Igitur speculator, qui stabat super turrim Iezrahel, vidit globum Iehu venientis, et ait: Video ego globum. Dixitque Ioram: Tolle currum, et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens: Recte ne sunt omnia?
18 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 cometh not again.
Abiit ergo, qui ascenderat currum, in occursum eius, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Pacata ne sunt omnia? Dixitque Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? transi, et sequere me. Nunciavit quoque speculator, dicens: Venit nuncius ad eos, et non revertitur.
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which 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.
Misit etiam currum equorum secundum: venitque ad eos, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Numquid pax est? Et ait Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? transi, et sequere me.
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
Nunciavit autem speculator, dicens: Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur: est autem incessus quasi incessus Iehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.
21 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.
Et ait Ioram: Iunge currum. Iunxeruntque currum eius, et egressus est Ioram rex Israel, et Ochozias rex Iuda, singuli in curribus suis, egressique sunt in occursum Iehu, et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ.
22 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 whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many?
Cumque vidisset Ioram Iehu, dixit: Pax est Iehu? At ille respondit: Quæ pax? adhuc fornicationes Iezabel matris tuæ, et veneficia eius multa vigent.
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, [There is] treachery, O Ahaziah.
Convertit autem Ioram manum suam, et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam: Insidiæ Ochozia.
24 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.
Porro Iehu tetendit arcum manu, et percussit Ioram inter scapulas: et egressa est sagitta per cor eius, statimque corruit in curru suo.
25 Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
Dixitque Iehu ad Badacer ducem: Tolle, proiice eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ: memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Achab patrem huius, quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum, dicens:
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the LORD.
Si non pro sanguine Naboth, et pro sanguine filiorum eius, quem vidi heri, ait Dominus, reddam tibi in agro isto, dicit Dominus. Nunc ergo tolle, et proiice eum in agrum iuxta verbum Domini.
27 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.
Ochozias autem rex Iuda videns hoc, fugit per viam domus horti: persecutusque est eum Iehu, et ait: Etiam hunc percutite in curru suo. Et percusserunt eum in ascensu Gaver, qui est iuxta Ieblaam: qui fugit in Mageddo, et mortuus est ibi.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
Et imposuerunt eum servi eius super currum suum, et tulerunt in Ierusalem: sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
Anno undecimo Ioram filii Achab, regnavit Ochozias super Iudam,
30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it; ] and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
venitque Iehu in Iezrahel. Porro Iezabel introitu eius audito, depinxit oculos suos stibio, et ornavit caput suum, et respexit per fenestram
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
ingredientem Iehu per portam, et ait: Numquid pax potest esse Zambri, qui interfecit dominum suum?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs.
Levavitque Iehu faciem suam ad fenestram, et ait: Quæ est ista? et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo, vel tres eunuchi.
33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
At ille dixit eis: Præcipitate eam deorsum. et præcipitaverunt eam, aspersusque est sanguine paries, et equorum ungulæ conculcaverunt eam.
34 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.
Cumque introgressus esset, ut comederet, biberetque, ait: Ite, et videte maledictam illam, et sepelite eam: quia filia regis est.
35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands.
Cumque issent ut sepelirent eam, non invenerunt nisi calvariam, et pedes, et summas manus.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
Reversique nunciaverunt ei. Et ait Iehu: Sermo Domini est, quem locutus est per servum suum Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: In agro Iezrahel comedent canes carnes Iezabel,
37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.
et erunt carnes Iezabel sicut stercus super faciem terræ in agro Iezrahel, ita ut prætereuntes dicant: Hæccine est illa Iezabel?
