『亞哈在我面前怎樣自己謙卑、你看見了麼？因為他在我面前自己謙卑，所以他在世的日子我不降這災禍；乃是到他兒子的日子我才要降這災禍於他的家。』

亞哈自卑於我前、爾見之乎、緣此、於彼尚存之日、我不降災、迨其子時、乃降災於其家、

Jehu ordered his officer Bidkar,“ Pick him up and throw him into the part of the field that once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Remember, you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, when the LORD pronounced this judgment on him,‘“ Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday,” says the LORD,“ and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land,” says the LORD.’ So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the LORD said.”

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners are powerless before me;

Say to God:“ How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you.

But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness.

There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people. You do not remain angry forever, but delight in showing loyal love.

So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him,“ Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews:‘ How long do you refuse to humble yourself before me? Release my people so that they may serve me!

Then Jehu killed all who were left of Ahab’s family in Jezreel, and all his nobles, close friends, and priests. He left no survivors.

When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.They remembered that God was their protector, and that the sovereign God was their deliverer.But they deceived him with their words, and lied to him.They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

He said,“ Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and when she hit the ground, her blood splattered against the wall and the horses, and Jehu drove his chariot over her.He went inside and had a meal. Then he said,“ Dispose of this accursed woman’s corpse. Bury her, for after all, she was a king’s daughter.”But when they went to bury her, they found nothing left but the skull, feet, and palms of the hands.When they went back and told him, he said,“ The LORD’s word through his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, has come to pass. He warned,‘ In the plot of land at Jezreel, dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh.Jezebel’s corpse will be like manure on the surface of the ground in the plot of land at Jezreel. People will not be able to even recognize her.’”Ahab had seventy sons living in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the leading officials of Jezreel and to the guardians of Ahab’s dynasty. This is what the letters said,“ You have with you the sons of your master, chariots and horses, a fortified city, and weapons. So when this letter arrives,pick the best and most capable of your master’s sons, place him on his father’s throne, and defend your master’s dynasty.”They were absolutely terrified and said,“ Look, two kings could not stop him! How can we?”So the palace supervisor, the city commissioner, the leaders, and the guardians sent this message to Jehu,“ We are your subjects! Whatever you say, we will do. We will not make anyone king. Do what you consider proper.”He wrote them a second letter, saying,“ If you are really on my side and are willing to obey me, then take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” Now the king had seventy sons, and the prominent men of the city were raising them.When they received the letter, they seized the king’s sons and executed all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to him in Jezreel.

“ And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel,‘ This is what you have said:“ Our rebellious acts and our sins have caught up with us, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?”’Say to them,‘ As surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! Why should you die, O house of Israel?’

Do you see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

Then, turning toward the woman, he said to Simon,“ Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
