21 And Jehoram said, “Harness!” And his chariot was harnessed. And Jehoram king of Israel went out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each man in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and they found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he said, “What peace is, during the prostitution of Jezebel your mother and her many witchcrafts?” 23 And Jehoram turned his hands and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah.” 24 And Jehu filled his hand with a bow and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow came out from his heart, and he sank down in his chariot. 25 And he said to Bidkar his captain, “Lift up and throw him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for remember that I and you were riding together behind Ahab his father, and YHWH lifted up upon him this burden: 26 ‘If not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons I saw yesterday, declares YHWH, and I will repay to you in this portion, declares YHWH.’ And now take and throw him into the portion, according to the word of YHWH.” 27 And Ahaziah king of Judah saw, and he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan, and Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” So they shot Ahaziah in the chariot on the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there. 28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David. 29 (And in the eleventh year of Jehoram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.) 2 Kings 9:21-29, Berean Literal Bible.
