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,
Καὶ τῷ Ἀχαὰβ ἑβδομήκοντα υἱοὶ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ ἔγραψεν Ἰοὺ βιβλίον, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Σαμαρείας, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τιθηνοὺς Αχαὰβ, λέγων,
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;
Καὶ νῦν ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ μεθʼ ὑμῶν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν, καὶ μεθʼ ὑμῶν τὸ ἅρμα καὶ οἱ ἵπποι καὶ πόλεις ὀχυραὶ καὶ τὰ ὅπλα,
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.
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.
4
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
Καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπον, ἰδοὺ οἱ δύο βασιλεῖς οὐκ ἔστησαν κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πῶς στησόμεθα ἡμεῖς;
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.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ τιθηνοὶ πρὸς Ἰοὺ, λέγοντες, παῖδές σου καὶ ἡμεῖς, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς πρὸς ἡμᾶς ποιήσομεν· οὐ βασιλεύσομεν ἄνδρα, τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ποιήσομεν.
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.
Καὶ ἔγραψε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰοὺ βιβλίον δεύτερον, λέγων, εἰ 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 ἐν Ἰεζράελ· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἦσαν ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρες, οὗτοι ἁδροὶ τῆς πόλεως ἐξέτρεφον αὐτούς.
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.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἦλθε τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔσφαξαν αὐτοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρας· καὶ ἔθηκαν τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν ἐν καρτάλλοις, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αὐτὰς πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰεζράελ.
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.
Καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος καὶ ἀπήγγειλε, λέγων, ἤνεγκαν τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ εἶπε, θέτε αὐτὰς βουνοὺς δύο παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πύλης εἰς πρωΐ.
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?
Καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ καὶ ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἔστη, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν, δίκαιοι ὑμεῖς· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι συνεστράφην ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινα αὐτόν· καὶ τίς ἐπάταξε πάντας τούτους;
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.
Ἴδετε ἀφφὼ, ὅτι οὐ πεσεῖται ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥήματος Κυρίου εἰς τὴν γῆν οὗ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἀχαάβ· καὶ Κύριος ἐποίησεν ὅσα ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἠλιού.
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.
Καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἰοὺ πάντας τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀχαὰβ ἐν Ἰεζράελ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁδροὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς γνωστοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ, ὥστε μὴ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺ κατάλειμμα.
12
And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
Καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθῃ εἰς Σαμάρειαν, αὐτὸς ἐν βαιθακὰθ τῶν ποιμένων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
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.
Καὶ Ἰοὺ εὗρε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς Ὀχοζίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ εἶπε, τίνες ὑμεῖς; καὶ εἶπον, ἀδελφοὶ Ὀχοζίου ἡμεῖς, καὶ κατέβημεν εἰς εἰρήνην τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς δυναστευούσης.
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.
Καὶ εἶπε, συλλάβετε αὐτοὺς ζῶντας· καὶ ἔσφαξαν αὐτοὺς εἰς βαιθακὰθ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ δύο ἄνδρας· οὐ κατέλιπεν ἄνδρα ἐξ αὐτῶν.
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.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν καὶ εὗρε τὸν Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸν Ῥηχὰβ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ιοὺ, εἰ ἔστι καρδία σου μετὰ καρδίας μου εὐθεῖα καθὼς ἡ καρδία μου μετὰ τῆς καρδίας σου; καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωναδάβ ἔστι· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοὺ, καὶ εἰ ἔστι, δὸς τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ἔδωκε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα,
16
And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.
καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, δεῦρο μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἴδε ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαί με τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ ἐπεκάθισε αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἅρματι αὐτοῦ.
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.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν· καὶ ἐπάταξε πάντας τοὺς καταλειφθέντας τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἕως τοῦ ἀφανίσαι αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησε πρὸς Ἠλιού.
18
And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
Καὶ συνήθροισεν Ἰοὺ πάντα τὸν λαὸν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, Ἀχαὰβ ἐδούλευσε τῷ Βάαλ ὀλίγα, Ἰοὺ δουλεύσει αὐτῷ πολλά.
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.
Καὶ νῦν πάντες οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Βάαλ πάντας τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καλέσατε πρὸς μὲ, ἀνὴρ μὴ ἐπισκεπήτω, ὅτι θυσία μεγάλη μοι τῷ Βάαλ· πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν ἐπισκεπῇ, οὐ ζήσεται· καὶ Ἰοὺ ἐποίησεν ἐν πτερνισμῷ, ἵνʼ ἀπολέσῃ τοὺς δούλους τοῦ Βάαλ.
20
And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοὺ, ἁγιάσατε ἱερείαν τῷ Βάαλ· καὶ ἐκήρυξν.
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.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰοὺ ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, καὶ νῦν πάντες οἱ δοῦλοι, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ προθῆται αὐτοῦ, μηδεὶς ἀπολιπέσθω, ὅτι θυσίαν μεγάλην ποιῶ· ὃς ἂν 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.
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.
Καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου μεσθάαλ, ἐξάγαγε ἔνδυμα πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις τοῦ Βάαλ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ στολιστής.
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.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰοὺ καὶ Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸς Ῥηχὰβ εἰς οἶκον τοῦ Βάαλ, καὶ εἶπε τοῖς δούλοις τοῦ Βάαλ, ἐρευνήσατε καὶ ἴδετε, εἰ ἔστι μεθʼ ὑμῶν τῶν δούλων Κυρίου, ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ Βάαλ μονώτατοι.
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.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὰ θύματα καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα· καὶ Ἰοὺ ἔταξεν ἑαυτῷ ἔξω ὀγδοήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνὴρ ὃς ἐὰν διασωθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν ὧν ἐγὼ ἀνάγω ἐπὶ χεῖρα ὑμῶν, ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἀντὶ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ.
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.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε ποιῶν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν, καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοὺ τοῖς παρατρέχουσιν καὶ τοῖς τριστάταις, εἰσελθόντες πατάξατε αὐτοὺς, μὴ ἐξελθάτω ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀνήρ· καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ τριστάται, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕως πόλεως οἴκου τοῦ Βάαλ.
26
And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
Καὶ ἐξήνεγκαν τὴν στήλην τοῦ Βάαλ, καὶ ἐνέπρησαν αὐτήν.
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.
Καὶ κατέσπασαν τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βάαλ, καὶ ἔπαξαν αὐτὸν εἰς λυτρῶνας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
28
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Καὶ ἠφάνισεν Ἰοὺ τὸν Βάαλ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ.
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 Beth–el, and that were in Dan.
Πλὴν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἀπέστη Ἰοὺ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν· αἱ δαμάλεις αἱ χρυσαῖ ἐν Βαιθὴλ, καὶ ἐν Δάν.
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἰοὺ, ἀνθʼ ὧν ὅσα ἠγάθυνας ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου ἐποίησας τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀχαὰβ, υἱοὶ τέταρτοι καθήσονταί σοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Ἰσραήλ.
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.
Καὶ Ἰοὺ οὐκ ἐφύλαξε πορεύεσθαι ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἑπάνωθεν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἰεροβοὰμ ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
32
In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἤρξατο Κύριος συγκόπτειν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς Ἀζαὴλ ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ Ἰσραὴλ,
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.
ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατʼ ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου πᾶσαν τὴν Γαλαάδ τοῦ Γαδδὶ, καὶ τοῦ Ῥουβὴν, καὶ τοῦ Μανασσῆ, ἀπὸ Ἀροὴρ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους χειμάῤῥου Ἀρνὼν, καὶ τὴν Γαλαὰδ καὶ τὴν Βασάν.
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?
Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰοὺ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς συνάψεις ἃς συνῆψεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίου λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
35
And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰοὺ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωάχαζ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
36
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
Καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰοὺ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰκοσιοκτὼ ἔτη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.
