2 Kings 9

Gen Z: 2 Kings 9

1Elisha the prophet called up one of the young homies and was like, "Get ready, take this oil box, and bounce to Ramoth–gilead, ASAP."

2When you get there, peep Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, wake him up from the squad, and take him to a private spot.

3Then take the oil box, pour it on his head, and say, "God's got you, you’re the new king of Israel." Then dip out, no cap.

4So the young dude, the prophet, bounced to Ramoth–gilead.

5When he rolled up, the captains were chillin', and he said, "Yo, I got a message for you, captain." Jehu was like, "For which one of us?" He replied, "For you, captain."

6He stood up, went inside, poured the oil on his head, and said, "God of Israel says, you’re now the king over the Lord's people, Israel."

7You’re gonna take down Ahab's crib so I can get back at Jezebel for my prophet homies’ blood.

8The whole house of Ahab is gonna be wiped out: I’ll take out anyone who’s chillin' against the wall, and anyone left in Israel.

9I’ll make Ahab's house like Jeroboam’s and Baasha’s houses, straight up.

10And the dogs are gonna eat Jezebel where she’s at in Jezreel, and no one’s gonna bury her. Then he opened the door and dipped.

11Jehu rolled up to his crew, and one was like, "You good? Why's this wild dude here?" He replied, "You know the vibes and what he’s about."

12They were like, "Nah, that's sus; spill the tea." Jehu said, "He told me straight up, 'The Lord’s got you anointed as king over Israel.'"

13They were hyped, grabbed their fits, laid them down on the stairs, and blew trumpets, shouting, "Jehu's the king!"

14So Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, plotted against Joram. (Joram was holding down Ramoth-gilead with all of Israel ‘cause of Hazael, the king of Syria.)

15But King Joram was chilling in Jezreel getting healed from the wounds the Syrians gave him when he clashed with Hazael. Jehu was like, "If you’re all in, no one leaves the city to spill the tea in Jezreel."

16Jehu hopped in a chariot and headed to Jezreel since Joram was there. Ahaziah, king of Judah, came to check on Joram.

17A lookout on the tower in Jezreel spotted Jehu's squad coming and said, "I see a crew." Joram was like, "Send a horseman to meet them and ask if it's all good."

18A horseman rode out to meet him and said, "The king wants to know, is it peace?" Jehu was like, "What’s your deal with peace? Just roll back." The lookout reported, "The messenger went out but didn’t come back."

19Then he sent out another horseman, who asked the same thing, "Is it peace?" Jehu replied, "What’s your deal with peace? Just roll back."

20The lookout said, "He went to them but didn’t come back; the driving’s like Jehu, son of Nimshi—dude's going full send."

21Joram was like, "Get it ready," and his ride was all set. So Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, rolled out in their chariots to meet Jehu in Naboth's hood.

22When Joram spotted Jehu, he asked, "Yo, is it chill, Jehu?" Jehu was like, "Chill? Nah, not while your mom Jezebel's out here wildin' and doing her witchcraft."

23Joram was like, "Nope," and bounced, telling Ahaziah, "This is sus, bro."

24Jehu pulled back his bow with all his rizz and hit Jehoram right in the heart, and he just dropped in his chariot.

25Jehu told his homie Bidkar, "Take him and throw him in Naboth's field, 'cause remember when we rolled with Ahab? The Lord put this on us."

26"I saw Naboth's blood and his sons' blood yesterday," says the Lord; "I’m gonna get you back for that, no cap. So toss him in the ground like I said."

27When Ahaziah saw this, he dipped through the garden, and Jehu chased him down, saying, "Get him too in the chariot." They did that at Gur, near Ibleam. He ran to Megiddo and bit the dust there.

28His crew took him back in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fam in David's city.

29In the eleventh year of Joram, Ahab's son, Ahaziah started flexing his reign over Judah.

30When Jehu pulled up to Jezreel, Jezebel heard the tea; she got all glammed up, did her makeup, and peeked out the window.

31As Jehu rolled up to the gate, she was like, "Did Zimri have a chill vibe when he took out his boss?"

32He looked up at the window and was like, "Who’s got my back? Who?" A couple of eunuchs peeked out.

33He was like, "Just toss her down." So they threw her down, and some of her blood got on the wall and the horses, and he stepped on her like it was nothing.

34When he got inside, he ate and drank, then said, "Go check out this cursed woman and give her a proper burial; she’s a king’s daughter, fr."

35They went to bury her but only found her skull, feet, and hands, like, seriously?

36They came back and told him what was up. He said, "This is what the Lord said through Elijah the Tishbite: Dogs are gonna chow down on Jezebel in Jezreel."

37Jezebel's body is gonna be like trash in the field in Jezreel, so no one will even be able to say, "This was Jezebel," periodt.

KJV: 2 Kings 9

1And 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:

2And 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;

3Then 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.

4So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth–gilead.

5And 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.

6And 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.

7And 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.

8For 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:

9And 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:

10And 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.

11Then 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.

12And 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.

13Then 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.

14So 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.

15But 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.

16So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

17And 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?

18So 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.

19Then 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.

20And 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.

21And 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.

22And 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?

23And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

24And 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.

25Then 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;

26Surely 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.

27But 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.

28And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

29And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

30And 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.

31And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

32And 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.

33And 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.

34And 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.

35And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

36Wherefore 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:

37And 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.
