Löydetty 19150 Tulokset: Or
Jehu then wrote them a second letter. He said, 'If you are for me and if you are prepared to accept orders from me, take the heads of the men of your master's family and come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.' (There were seventy of Ahab's sons being educated there by the leading men of the city.) (2 Kings 10, 6)
The messenger came and told Jehu, 'They have brought the heads of the king's sons.' 'Leave them in two heaps at the entrance to the gate until morning,' he replied. (2 Kings 10, 8)
When morning came, he went out and, standing, said to all the people, 'No guilt attaches to you! I did indeed plot against my master and have killed him; but what about all these? Who struck them? (2 Kings 10, 9)
Jehu then set out for Samaria. As he was on his way, at Beth-Eked of the Shepherds, (2 Kings 10, 12)
'Take them alive,' he said. They took them alive, and he slaughtered them at the storage-well of Beth-Eked, forty-two of them; he did not spare a single one. (2 Kings 10, 14)
'Come with me,' he said, 'and witness my zeal for Yahweh,' and took him along in his chariot. (2 Kings 10, 16)
When he entered Samaria, he killed all the survivors of Ahab's family there; he destroyed it, as Yahweh had told Elijah it would happen. (2 Kings 10, 17)
Now call me all the prophets of Baal and all his priests. Not one is to be absent: I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. If anyone is absent, he will forfeit his life.' This was a trick on Jehu's part to destroy the devotees of Baal. (2 Kings 10, 19)
'Summon a sacred assembly for Baal,' he commanded; and they summoned it. (2 Kings 10, 20)
Jehu then said to the keeper of the wardrobe, 'Bring out vestments for all the devotees of Baal'; he brought out the vestments for them. (2 Kings 10, 22)
He then proceeded to present sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside, having said, 'Whoever lets one of the people go whom I am now putting within your clutches, will pay for it with his life.' (2 Kings 10, 24)
When he had finished making the burnt offering, he gave the order to the guards and equerries, 'Go in, strike them down! Let no one out!' The guards and equerries went in, putting everyone to the sword all the way to the sanctuary of Baal's temple. (2 Kings 10, 25)
