1Ahab had 70 kids in Samaria, and Jehu was like, "Let me write some letters to the squad in Jezreel and the elders, and those who raised Ahab’s fam."

2So when this letter hits you, know your master’s kids are chillin' with you, plus you got chariots, horses, and a fortified city, no cap.

3Find the best of your master’s kids, put him on the throne, and rep for your master’s crew.

4But they were super shook and said, "Two kings couldn't even handle him, how are we gonna step up?"

5The guy in charge of the house, the city leaders, and those raising the kids hit up Jehu and said, "We’re your ride or dies, just tell us what to do; we ain’t making any kings. You do you, fam."

6Then he dropped another letter, saying, "If you’re with me and hear my voice, grab the heads of your master’s kids and roll up to Jezreel by tomorrow. The king’s sons are 70 deep with the big shots of the city."

7When the letter got to them, they took the king’s sons, offed 70 of them, and tossed their heads in baskets, sending them to Jezreel.

8A messenger showed up and told him, "They brought the heads of the king’s sons." He said, "Stack them in two piles at the gate until morning."

9The next morning, he rolled out, stood in front of everyone, and said, "You’re all righteous: I plotted against my master and took him out, but who took out all these?"

10Just know that nothing from the word of the Lord about Ahab’s house is gonna fall to the ground; the Lord did what He said through His boy Elijah.

11So Jehu wiped out everyone left from Ahab's crew in Jezreel, all his homies and fam, no cap, he left none alive.

12Then he bounced and headed to Samaria. On his way at the shearing house,

13Jehu ran into Ahaziah's fam from Judah and asked, "Who are you?" They replied, "We’re Ahaziah's crew, just here to say what’s up to the king's kids and the queen's kids."

14He said, "Take them alive." So they took them alive and took out 42 dudes at the shearing house pit; he didn’t leave any of them.

15After that, he met up with Jehonadab, son of Rechab, who was coming to greet him. He asked, "Is your heart down with mine?" Jehonadab said, "For sure." Jehu replied, "Bet, give me your hand." So he took his hand and pulled him into the chariot.

16Jehu said, "Roll with me and check out my hype for the Lord." So they had him ride in his chariot.

17When he got to Samaria, he wiped out everyone left linked to Ahab there, just like the Lord told Elijah.

18Jehu gathered all the peeps and said, "Ahab vibed with Baal a bit, but Jehu's about to go all in."

19So now, hit me up with all the Baal prophets, all his crew and priests; don’t leave anyone out: I got a major sacrifice for Baal; if anyone's missing, they won’t make it. Jehu was lowkey sneaky, trying to take out the Baal worshippers.

20Jehu said, "Let’s organize a big assembly for Baal." And they did.

21Jehu hit up all of Israel, and all the Baal worshippers rolled through, no cap. The house of Baal was packed, vibes all around.

22He told the guy in charge of the drip, "Yo, bring out fits for all the Baal worshippers." And dude brought out the fits, no doubt.

23Jehu and Jehonadab pulled up to the Baal house and told the worshippers, "Search the place, make sure no Lord's crew is here, only the Baal squad."

24When they went in to offer sacrifices, Jehu set up 80 men outside and said, "If any of the guys I brought escape, your life for his, periodt."

25As soon as he finished the burnt offering, Jehu told the guards and captains, "Go in and take them out; no one gets out." They went in swinging swords, and the guards tossed them out to the Baal house city.

26They pulled out the images from the Baal house and set them on fire, straight savage.

27They smashed the Baal image, wrecked the Baal house, and turned it into a restroom, fr.

28So Jehu wiped out Baal from Israel, no cap.

29But Jehu still kept it sus with the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, sticking to those golden calves in Bethel and Dan.

30The Lord told Jehu, "You did good executing what’s right in my eyes, and handled Ahab's house just as I wanted. Your kids, four generations deep, will chill on Israel's throne."

31But Jehu was sus, not vibing with the Lord's law like, at all. He just kept doing the Jeroboam sins, making Israel trip.

32Back then, the Lord was like, "Nah," and started cutting Israel down; Hazael was out here smiting them all over the place.

33From Jordan to the east, all the Gilead land, the Gadites, Reubenites, and Manassites were all included, from Aroer by the Arnon river to Gilead and Bashan.

34All the other stuff Jehu did and his strength? It's all written down in the kings' chronicles, fr.

35Jehu passed away and joined his fam; they buried him in Samaria. Then his son Jehoahaz took over, no cap.

36Jehu was king in Samaria for a solid twenty-eight years, pop off.

1And 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,

2Now 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;

3Look 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.

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

5And 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.

6Then 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.

7And 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.

8And 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.

9And 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?

10Know 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.

11So 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.

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

13Jehu 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.

14And 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.

15And 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.

16And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.

17And 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.

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

19Now 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.

20And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

21And 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.

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

23And 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.

24And 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.

25And 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.

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

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

28Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29Howbeit 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.

30And 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.

31But 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.

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

33From 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.

34Now 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?

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

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