2Kgs 10:1 And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,

wə‘attāh kəḇō’ hassēp̱er hazzeh ’ălêḵem wə’ittəḵem bənê ’ăḏōnêḵem wə’ittəḵem hāreḵeḇ wəhassûsîm wə‘îr miḇəṣār wəhannāšeq

2Kgs 10:2 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;

ûrə’îṯem haṭṭôḇ wəhayyāšār mibbənê ’ăḏōnêḵem wəśamətem ‘al-kissē’ ’āḇîw wəhillāḥămû ‘al-bêṯ ’ăḏōnêḵem

2Kgs 10:3 Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

wayyirə’û mə’ōḏ mə’ōḏ wayyō’mərû hinnēh šənê hamməlāḵîm lō’ ‘āməḏû ləp̱ānāyw wə’êḵ na‘ămōḏ ’ănāḥənû

2Kgs 10:4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

wayyišəlaḥ ’ăšer-‘al-habbayiṯ wa’ăšer ‘al-hā‘îr wəhazzəqēnîm wəhā’ōmənîm ’el-yēhû’ lē’mōr ‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ’ănaḥənû wəḵōl ’ăšer-tō’mar ’ēlênû na‘ăśeh lō’-naməlîḵ ’îš haṭṭôḇ bə‘êneyḵā ‘ăśēh

2Kgs 10:5 And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

wayyiḵətōḇ ’ălêhem sēp̱er šēnîṯ lē’mōr ’im-lî ’attem ûləqōlî ’attem šōmə‘îm qəḥû ’eṯ-rā’šê ’anəšê ḇənê-’ăḏōnêḵem ûḇō’û ’ēlay kā‘ēṯ māḥār yizərə‘e’lāh ûḇənê hammeleḵ šiḇə‘îm ’îš ’eṯ-gəḏōlê hā‘îr məg̱addəlîm ’ôṯām

2Kgs 10:6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.

wayəhî kəḇō’ hassēp̱er ’ălêhem wayyiqəḥû ’eṯ-bənê hammeleḵ wayyišəḥăṭû šiḇə‘îm ’îš wayyāśîmû ’eṯ-rā’šêhem baddûḏîm wayyišələḥû ’ēlāyw yizərə‘e’lāh

2Kgs 10:7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.

wayyāḇō’ hammalə’āḵ wayyaggeḏ-lô lē’mōr hēḇî’û rā’šê ḇənê-hammeleḵ wayyō’mer śîmû ’ōṯām šənê ṣibburîm peṯaḥ hašša‘ar ‘aḏ-habbōqer

2Kgs 10:8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

wayəhî ḇabbōqer wayyēṣē’ wayya‘ămōḏ wayyō’mer ’el-kāl-hā‘ām ṣaddiqîm ’attem hinnēh ’ănî qāšarətî ‘al-’ăḏōnî wā’ehərəg̱ēhû ûmî hikkāh ’eṯ-kāl-’ēlleh

2Kgs 10:9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

də‘û ’ēp̱ô’ kî lō’ yippōl middəḇar yəhwāh ’arəṣāh ’ăšer-dibber yəhwāh ‘al-bêṯ ’aḥə’āḇ wayhwāh ‘āśāh ’ēṯ ’ăšer dibber bəyaḏ ‘aḇədô ’ēliyyāhû

2Kgs 10:10 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.

wayyaḵ yēhû’ ’ēṯ kāl-hannišə’ārîm ləḇêṯ-’aḥə’āḇ bəyizərə‘e’l wəḵāl-gəḏōlāyw ûməyuddā‘āyw wəḵōhănāyw ‘aḏ-bilətî hišə’îr-lô śārîḏ

2Kgs 10:11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

2Kgs 10:12 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,

wəyēhû’ māṣā’ ’eṯ-’ăḥê ’ăḥazəyāhû meleḵ-yəhûḏāh wayyō’mer mî ’attem wayyō’mərû ’ăḥê ’ăḥazəyāhû ’ănaḥənû wannēreḏ lišəlôm bənê-hammeleḵ ûḇənê haggəḇîrāh

2Kgs 10:13 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

wayyō’mer tip̱əśûm ḥayyîm wayyiṯəpəśûm ḥayyîm wayyišəḥāṭûm ’el-bôr bêṯ-‘ēqeḏ ’arəbā‘îm ûšənayim ’îš wəlō’-hišə’îr ’îš mēhem

2Kgs 10:14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

2Kgs 10:15 And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

wayyō’mer ləḵāh ’ittî ûrə’ēh bəqinə’āṯî layhwāh wayyarəkiḇû ’ōṯô bəriḵəbô

2Kgs 10:16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

wayyāḇō’ šōmərôn wayyaḵ ’eṯ-kāl-hannišə’ārîm lə’aḥə’āḇ bəšōmərôn ‘aḏ-hišəmîḏô kiḏəḇar yəhwāh ’ăšer dibber ’el-’ēliyyāhû

2Kgs 10:17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.

wayyiqəbōṣ yēhû’ ’eṯ-kāl-hā‘ām wayyō’mer ’ălēhem ’aḥə’āḇ ‘āḇaḏ ’eṯ-habba‘al mə‘āṭ yēhû’ ya‘aḇəḏennû harəbēh

2Kgs 10:18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

wə‘attāh ḵāl-nəḇî’ê habba‘al kāl-‘ōḇəḏāyw wəḵāl-kōhănāyw qirə’û ’ēlay ’îš ’al-yippāqēḏ kî zeḇaḥ gāḏôl lî labba‘al kōl ’ăšer-yippāqēḏ lō’ yiḥəyeh wəyēhû’ ‘āśāh ḇə‘āqəbāh ləma‘an ha’ăḇîḏ ’eṯ-‘ōḇəḏê habbā‘al

2Kgs 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

wayyō’mer yēhû’ qaddəšû ‘ăṣārāh labba‘al wayyiqərā’û

2Kgs 10:20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

wayyišəlaḥ yēhû’ bəḵāl-yiśərā’ēl wayyāḇō’û kāl-‘ōḇəḏê habba‘al wəlō’-nišə’ar ’îš ’ăšer lō’-ḇā’ wayyāḇō’û bêṯ habba‘al wayyimmālē’ ḇêṯ-habba‘al peh lāp̱eh

2Kgs 10:21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

wayyō’mer la’ăšer ‘al-hammelətāḥāh hôṣē’ ləḇûš ləḵōl ‘ōḇəḏê habbā‘al wayyōṣē’ lāhem hammaləbûš

2Kgs 10:22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

wayyāḇō’ yēhû’ wîhônāḏāḇ ben-rēḵāḇ bêṯ habbā‘al wayyō’mer lə‘ōḇəḏê habba‘al ḥappəśû ûrə’û pen-yeš-pōh ‘immāḵem mē‘aḇəḏê yəhwāh kî ’im-‘ōḇəḏê habba‘al ləḇaddām

2Kgs 10:23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

wayyāḇō’û la‘ăśôṯ zəḇāḥîm wə‘ōlôṯ wəyēhû’ śām-lô ḇaḥûṣ šəmōnîm ’îš wayyō’mer hā’îš ’ăšer-yimmālēṭ min-hā’ănāšîm ’ăšer ’ănî mēḇî’ ‘al-yəḏêḵem nap̱əšô taḥaṯ nap̱əšô

2Kgs 10:24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

wayəhî kəḵallōṯô la‘ăśôṯ hā‘ōlāh wayyō’mer yēhû’ lārāṣîm wəlaššālišîm bō’û hakkûm ’îš ’al-yēṣē’ wayyakkûm ləp̱î-ḥāreḇ wayyašəliḵû hārāṣîm wəhaššālišîm wayyēləḵû ‘aḏ-‘îr bêṯ-habbā‘al

2Kgs 10:25 And it came to pass, 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 slay them; let none come forth. And they smote 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.

wayyōṣi’û ’eṯ-maṣṣəḇôṯ bêṯ-habba‘al wayyiśərəp̱ûhā

2Kgs 10:26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

wayyittəṣû ’ēṯ maṣṣəḇaṯ habbā‘al wayyittəṣû ’eṯ-bêṯ habba‘al wayəśimuhû ləmôṣā’ôṯ ‘aḏ-hayyôm

2Kgs 10:27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.

wayyašəmēḏ yēhû’ ’eṯ-habba‘al miyyiśərā’ēl

2Kgs 10:28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

raq ḥăṭā’ê yārāḇə‘ām ben-nəḇāṭ ’ăšer heḥĕṭî’ ’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl lō’-sār yēhû’ mē’aḥărêhem ‘eg̱əlê hazzāhāḇ ’ăšer bêṯ-’ēl wa’ăšer bəḏān

2Kgs 10:29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

wayyō’mer yəhwāh ’el-yēhû’ ya‘an ’ăšer-hĕṭîḇōṯā la‘ăśôṯ hayyāšār bə‘ênay kəḵōl ’ăšer biləḇāḇî ‘āśîṯā ləḇêṯ ’aḥə’āḇ bənê rəḇi‘îm yēšəḇû ləḵā ‘al-kissē’ yiśərā’ēl

2Kgs 10:30 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

wəyēhû’ lō’ šāmar lāleḵeṯ bəṯôraṯ-yəhwāh ’ĕlōhê-yiśərā’ēl bəḵāl-ləḇāḇô lō’ sār mē‘al ḥaṭṭō’wṯ yārāḇə‘ām ’ăšer heḥĕṭî’ ’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl

2Kgs 10:31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

bayyāmîm hāhēm hēḥēl yəhwāh ləqaṣṣôṯ bəyiśərā’ēl wayyakkēm ḥăzā’ēl bəḵāl-gəḇûl yiśərā’ēl

2Kgs 10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

min-hayyarədēn mizəraḥ haššemeš ’ēṯ kāl-’ereṣ haggilə‘āḏ haggāḏî wəhāru’wḇēnî wəhamənaššî mē‘ărō‘ēr ’ăšer ‘al-naḥal ’arənōn wəhaggilə‘āḏ wəhabbāšān

2Kgs 10:33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

wəyeṯer diḇərê yēhû’ wəḵāl-’ăšer ‘āśāh wəḵāl-gəḇûrāṯô hălô’-hēm kəṯûḇîm ‘al-sēp̱er diḇərê hayyāmîm ləmaləḵê yiśərā’ēl

2Kgs 10:34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

wayyišəkaḇ yēhû’ ‘im-’ăḇōṯāyw wayyiqəbərû ’ōṯô bəšōmərôn wayyiməlōḵ yəhô’āḥāz bənô taḥətāyw

2Kgs 10:35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

wəhayyāmîm ’ăšer mālaḵ yēhû’ ‘al-yiśərā’ēl ‘eśərîm ûšəmōneh-šānāh bəšōmərôn

2Kgs 10:36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
