2 Kings 9:21-26 ▼

21 “Get the chariot ready! ” Joram shouted, and they got it ready. Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu at the plot of land of Naboth the Jezreelite.

22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Do you come in peace, Jehu? ” He answered, “What peace can there be as long as there is so much prostitution and sorcery from your mother Jezebel? ”

23 Joram turned around and fled, shouting to Ahaziah, “It’s treachery, Ahaziah! ”

24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow went through his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.

25 Jehu said to Bidkar his aide, “Pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember when you and I were riding side by side behind his father Ahab, and the LORD uttered this pronouncement against him:

26 ‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday’—this is the LORD’s declaration—‘so will I repay you on this plot of land’—this is the LORD’s declaration. So now, according to the word of the LORD, pick him up and throw him on the plot of land.”
