14 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master;
who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he
answered; He told me that you should surely be healed.
15 And it came to pass the next day, that he took a thick
cloth, and dipped it in mayim, and spread it on his face,
so that he died: and Haza-El reigned in his place.
16 And in the fifth year of Yahuram the son of Achav
melech of Yisrael, Yahushaphat being then melech of
Yahudah, Yahuram the son of Yahushaphat melech of
Yahudah began to reign.
17 Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign;
and he reigned eight years in Yahrushalayim.
18 And he had his halacha in the derech of the melechim
of Yisrael, as did Beit Achav: for the daughter of Achav
was his wife: 985 986 and he did evil in the sight of vuvh.
19 Yet vuvh would not destroy Yahudah for Dawid His
eved's sake, as He promised him to give him always a
light, and his children le-olam-va-ed.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of
Yahudah, and made a melech over themselves.
21 So Yahuram went over to Zair, and all the mirkavot
with him: and he rose by night, and killed the Edomites
who surrounded him, and the captains of the mirkavot:
and the people fled into their tents.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Yahudah to
this day. Then Livnah revolted at the same time. 987
23 And the rest of the acts of Yahuram, and all that he
did, are they not written in the Scroll of the Divre
HaYamim about the melechim of Yahudah?
24 And Yahuram slept with his ahvot, and was buried
with his ahvot in the city of Dawid: and Achazyahu his
son reigned in his place.
25 In the twelfth year of Yahuram the son of Achav
melech of Yisrael did Achazyahu the son of Yahuram
melech of Yahudah begin to reign.
26 Achazyahu was twenty-two years of age when he
began to reign; and he reigned one year in
Yahrushalayim. And his eema's name was Athalyah, the
daughter of Omri melech of Yisrael.
27 And he had his halacha in the derech of Beit Achav,
and did evil in the sight of vuvh, as did Beit Achav: for he
was the son-in-law of Beit Achav.
28 And he went with Yahuram the son of Achav to the
war against Haza-El melech of Aram in Ramot-Gilad; and
the Arameans wounded Yahuram.
29 And melech Yahuram went back to be healed in
Yezreel from the wounds that the Arameans had given
him at Ramah, when he fought against Haza-El melech of
Aram. And Achazyahu the son of Yahuram melech of
Yahudah went down to see Yahuram the son of Achav in
Yezreel, because he was sick.
9
And Elisha the navi called one of the sons of the
neviim, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this
flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramot-Gilad:
2 And when you come there, look for Yahu the son of
Yahushaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him
rise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an
inner room;
3 Then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and
say, This says vuvh, I have anointed you melech over
Yisrael. Then open the door, and flee, and stay not.
4 So the young man, even the young man the navi, went

- 256 -
to Ramot-Gilad.
5 And when he came, see, the captains of the armies were
sitting; and he said, I have a message for you, O
commander. And Yahu said, For which one of us? And he
said, For you, O commander.
6 And he arose, and went into the bayit; and he poured
the oil on his head, and said to him, This says vuvh
Elohim of Yisrael; I have anointed you melech over the
people of vuvh, even over Yisrael.
7 And you shall destroy Beit Achav your master, that I
may avenge the dahm of My avadim the neviim, and the
dahm of all the avadim of vuvh, at the hands of Isavel.
8 For the whole bayit of Achav shall perish: and I will cut
off from Achav every male, and him that is shut up and
left in Yisrael:
9 And I will make Beit Achav like Beit Yahravam the son
of Nevat, and like Beit Baasha the son of Achiyah:
10 And the dogs shall eat Isavel in the portion of Yezreel,
and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the
door, and fled.
11 Then Yahu came forth to the avadim of his master:
and one said to him, Is all well? Why did this crazy man
come to you? And he said to them, You know the man,
and his communication.
12 And they said, That’s a lie! Tell us now. And he said,
This and this he spoke to me, saying, This says vuvh, I
have anointed you melech over Yisrael.
13 Then they hurried and took every man his garment,
and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew
with shofars, saying, Yahu is melech.
14 So Yahu the son of Yahushaphat the son of Nimshi
conspired against Yahuram. Now Yahuram had kept
Ramot-Gilad, he and kol Yisrael, because of Haza-El
melech of Aram.
15 But melech Yahuram had returned to be healed in
Yezreel from the wounds that the Arameans had given
him, when he fought with Haza-El melech of Aram. And
Yahu said, If this is your desire, then let none go forth nor
escape out of the city to go to tell it in Yezreel.
16 So Yahu rode in a mirkavah, and went to Yezreel; for
Yahuram lay there. And Achazyahu melech of Yahudah
had come down to see Yahuram.
17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Yezreel,
and he saw the company of Yahu as he came, and said, I
see a company. And Yahuram said, Take a horseman, and
go meet them, and let him say, Is it in shalom?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said,
This says the melech, Is it in shalom? And Yahu said,
What have you to do with shalom? Get behind me and
follow me. And the watchman told, saying, The
messenger came to them, but he did not come back.
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to
them, and said, This says the melech, Is it in shalom? And
Yahu answered, What have you to do with shalom? Get
behind me and follow me;
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even to
them, and does not return: and the driving is like the
driving of Yahu the son of Nimshi; for he drives
furiously.
21 And Yahuram said, Make ready. And his mirkavah
was made ready. And Yahuram melech of Yisrael and
Achazyahu melech of Yahudah went out, each in his
mirkavah, and they went out against Yahu, and met him
