Καὶ τῷ Ἀχαὰβ ἑβδομήκοντα υἱοὶ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ. καὶ ἔγραψεν Εἰοὺ βιβλίον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Σαμαρείας κα πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τιθηνοὺς Ἀχαὰβ
λέγων

Καὶ νῦν ὡς ἐὰν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ μεΘ' ὑμῶν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν, καὶ μεθ’ ὑμῶν τὸ ἅρμα καὶ ἵπποι
κα πόλεις ὀχυραὶ καὶ τὰ ὄπλα·

καὶ ὄψεσθε τὸν ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸν εὐθῆ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν καὶ καταστήσετε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολεμεῖτε ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κυρίου
ὑμῶν.

καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπον Ἰδοὺ οἱ δύο ουκ εστησαν κατα προσωπον αὐτου, καὶ πως ¹²

καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως καὶ οἱ
πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ τιθηνοὶ πρὸς Εἰοὺ λέγοντες Παῖδές σου ἡμεῖς, καὶ ὄσα ἐὰν πρὸς πρὸς ἡμᾶς ποιήσομεν· οὐ βασιλεύσομεν ἄνδρα, τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ποιήσομεν.

καὶ ἔγραψεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς
βιβλίον δεύτερον λέγων Εἱ ἐμοὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ὑμεῖς εἰσακούετε, λάβετε τὴν κεφαλὴν ἀνδρῶν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν καὶ ἐνέγκατε πρὸς μὲ ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὔριον εἰς Ἰσραήλ. καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἦσαν ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρες· οὗτοι ἁδροὶ τῆς πόλεως ἐξέτρεφον αὐτούς.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἦλθεν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ἔλαβον
τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔσφαξαν αὐτούς, ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρας· καὶ ἔθηκαν τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν ἐν καρτάλλοις καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αὐτὰς πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν λέγων
Ἤνεγκα τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ εἶπεν Θέτε αὐτὰς βουνοὺς δύο παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πύλης πόλεως εἰς πρωί.

καὶ
ἐγένετο πρωὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἔστη, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν ὑμεῖς, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι συνεστράφην ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου κα αὐτόν· καὶ τίς ἐπάταξεν πάντας τούτους ;

ἴδετε ἀφφώ,
ὅτι οὐ πεσεῖται ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥήματος Κυρίου εἰς τὴν γῆν οὗ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἀχαάβ· καὶ Κύριος ἐποίησεν ὄσα ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου δούλου Ἠλειού.

καὶ ἐπάταξεν Εἰοὺ πάντας τοὺς
ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀχαὰβ καταλειφθέντας ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁδροὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς γνωστοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ, ὤστε μὴ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺς κατάλιμμα.

καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς
Αὐτὸς ἐν Βαιθάκαθ τῶν ποιμένων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ,

καὶ Εἰοὺ
τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὁχοζείου βασιλέως Ἰούδα καὶ εἶπεν Τίνες ὑ καὶ εἶπον Οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ὀχοζείου ἡμεῖς, καὶ κατέβημεν εἰς τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς δυναστευούσης.

καὶ εἶπεν
Συλλάβετε αὐτοὺς ζῶντας· καὶ ἔσφαξαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαιθάκαθ τεσσεράκοντα καὶ δύο ἄνδρας· οὐ κατέλιπεν ἄνδρα ἐξ αὐτῶν.

Καὶ
ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸν Ῥηχὰβ εἰς ³⁴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἰού Εἰ ἔστιν ⁵ καρδία σου μετὰ καρδίας μου εὐθεῖα καθὼς ἡ καρδία μου μετὰ τῆς καρδίας σου ; καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωναδάβ Ἕστιν· καὶ εἶπεν Εἰού Καὶ εἰ ἔστιν, δὸς τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ἔδωκεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν
αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἄρμα,

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Δεῦρο μετ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἴδε ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαί με τῷ κυρίῳ· καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν αὐτὸν
ἐν τῷ ἅρματι αὐτοῦ.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν πάντας τοὺς καταλειφθέντας τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἕως τοῦ ἀφανίσαι αὐτόν, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς ’

καὶ ἐζήλωσεν Εἰοὺ πάντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ’
ἐδούλευσεν τῷ Βάαλ ὀλίγα, Εἰοὺ δουλεύσει αὐτῷ πολλά.

καὶ νῦν, πάντες οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Βάαλ, πάντας τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καλέσατε πρὸς μέ· ἀνὴρ μὴ ἐπισκεπήτω, ὄτι θυσία μεγάλη μοι τῷ Βάαλ· πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν ἐπισκεπῇ οὐ ζήσεται. καὶ Εἰοὺ
ἐποίησεν ἐν πτερνισμῷ, ἴνα ἀπολέσῃ τοὺς δούλους τοῦ Βάαλ.

καὶ
εἶπεν Εἰού Ἀγιάσατε ἱερείαν τῷ Βάαλ· καὶ ἐκήρυξεν.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Εἰοὺ ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ λέγων Καὶ νῦν πάντες οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται αὐτοῦ, μηδεὶς ἀπολει- πέσθω, ὄτι θυσίαν μεγάλην ποιῶ· ὄς ἄν ἀπολειφθῇ οὐ ζήσεται. καὶ ἦλθον πάντες οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ Βάαλ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται αὐτοῦ· οὐ κατελείφθη ἀνὴρ ὃς οὐ παρεγένετο· καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Βάαλ, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Βάαλ
στόμα εἰς στόμα.

καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου μεσθαάλ ’ ἔνδυμα πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις τοῦ Βάαλ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Εἰοὺ καὶ Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸς Ῥηχὰβ εἰς οἶκον τοῦ Βάαλ· καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς δούλοις τοῦ Βάαλ Ἐρευνήσατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔστιν μεθ’ ὑμῶν
τῶν δούλων Κυρίου, ὄτι ἀλλ’ ἢ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ Βάαλ μονώτατοι.

καὶ εἰσῆλλθεν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὰ θύματα καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα· καὶ Εἰοὺ ἔταξεν ἑαυτῷ ἔξω ὀγδοήκοντα ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνὴρ ὃς ἐὰν διασωθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν ὦν ἐγὼ ἀνάγω ἐπὶ χεῖρας ὑμῶν, ἡ ψυχὴ α
ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετίλεσεν ποιῶν τὴν ⁶⁷ καὶ εἶπεν Εἰοὺ τοῖς παρατρέχουσιν καὶ τοῖς τριστάταις Εἰσελθόντες πατάξατε αὐτούς, ἀνὴρ μὴ ἐξελθάτω ἐξ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἔρριψαν οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ τριστάται, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕως πόλεως οἴκου τοῦ Βάαλ.

καὶ ἐξήνεγκαν
τὴν στολὴν τοῦ Βάαλ καὶ ἐνέπρησαν αὐτήν.

καὶ κατέσπασαν τὰς
στήλας τοῦ Βάαλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν εἰς λυτρῶνας ἕως τῆς ταύτης.

καὶ ἠφάνισεν Εἰοὺ τὸν Βάαλ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ.

Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ὄς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραήλ, οὐκ Εἰοὺ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, αἱ δαμάλεις αἱ χρυσαῖ ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἐν Δάν.

Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Εἰού Ἀνθ’ ὧν ὄσα ἠγάθυνας
τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου κατὰ πάντα ὄσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῷ οἴκῳ Αχαάβ, υἱοὶ τέταρτοι καθήσονταί σοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ Εἰοὺ οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν πορεύεσθαι ἐν νόμῳ
Κυρίου θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὄλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀπέστη ἐπάνωθεν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἰεροβοὰμ ὄς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

Ἐν ταῖς
ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἤρξατο Κύριος συνκόπτειν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς Ἁζαὴλ καὶ ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ Ἰσραήλ,

ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Εἰοὺ μετὰ τῶν
πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωαχὰς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἄς ἐβασίλευσεν Εἰοὺ
ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἴκοσι εἴκοσι ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

II Kings Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 10 focus

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 [the sons of] Ahab, saying,

Now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;

look you out the best and meet of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him: how then shall we stand?

He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up [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.

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If you be on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

There came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. He said, Lay you them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

It happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, You are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him; but who struck all these?

Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab: for Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.

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.

He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

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.

He said, Take them alive. They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

When he was departed there, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he greeted him, and said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me your hand. He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

He said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh. So they made him ride in his chariot.

When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah.

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

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 [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.

Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. They proclaimed it.

Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.

He said to him who was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. He brought them forth vestments.

Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Yahweh, but the worshippers of Baal only.

They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him eighty men outside, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, [he who lets him go], his life shall be for the life of him.

It happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and kill them; let none come forth. They struck them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

They brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu didn’t depart from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

Yahweh said to Jehu, Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, [and] have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.

In those days Yahweh began to cut off from Israel: and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel;

from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.

The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
