Today's audio is from the GW. Switch to the GW to read along with the audio. 14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth Gilead against Hazael king of Aram, 15 but King Joram[a] had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, “If you desire to make me king, don’t let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.” 16 Then he got into his chariot and rode to Jezreel, because Joram was resting there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him. 17 When the lookout standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.” “Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?’” 18 The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.” 19 So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’” Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.” 20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.” 21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?” 23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!” 24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.’[b] Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.” 27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan.[c] Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David. 29 (In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.) 30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?”[d] 32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot. 34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh.[e] 37 Jezebel’s body will be like dung on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’” 10 Now there were in Samaria seventy sons of the house of Ahab. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria: to the officials of Jezreel,[f] to the elders and to the guardians of Ahab’s children. He said, 2 “You have your master’s sons with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weapons. Now as soon as this letter reaches you, 3 choose the best and most worthy of your master’s sons and set him on his father’s throne. Then fight for your master’s house.” 4 But they were terrified and said, “If two kings could not resist him, how can we?” 5 So the palace administrator, the city governor, the elders and the guardians sent this message to Jehu: “We are your servants and we will do anything you say. We will not appoint anyone as king; you do whatever you think best.” 6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side and will obey me, take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the royal princes, seventy of them, were with the leading men of the city, who were rearing them. 7 When the letter arrived, these men took the princes and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel. 8 When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the princes.” Then Jehu ordered, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning.” 9 The next morning Jehu went out. He stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these? 10 Know, then, that not a word the Lord has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail. The Lord has done what he announced through his servant Elijah.” 11 So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his chief men, his close friends and his priests, leaving him no survivor. 12 Jehu then set out and went toward Samaria. At Beth Eked of the Shepherds, 13 he met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” They said, “We are relatives of Ahaziah, and we have come down to greet the families of the king and of the queen mother.” 14 “Take them alive!” he ordered. So they took them alive and slaughtered them by the well of Beth Eked—forty-two of them. He left no survivor. 15 After he left there, he came upon Jehonadab son of Rekab, who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, “Are you in accord with me, as I am with you?” “I am,” Jehonadab answered. “If so,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he did, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot. 16 Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord.” Then he had him ride along in his chariot. 17 When Jehu came to Samaria, he killed all who were left there of Ahab’s family; he destroyed them, according to the word of the Lord spoken to Elijah. 18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. See that no one is missing, because I am going to hold a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come will no longer live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal. 20 Jehu said, “Call an assembly in honor of Baal.” So they proclaimed it. 21 Then he sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one stayed away. They crowded into the temple of Baal until it was full from one end to the other. 22 And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring robes for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out robes for them. 23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rekab went into the temple of Baal. Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around and see that no one who serves the Lord is here with you—only servants of Baal.” 24 So they went in to make sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had posted eighty men outside with this warning: “If one of you lets any of the men I am placing in your hands escape, it will be your life for his life.” 25 As soon as Jehu had finished making the burnt offering, he ordered the guards and officers: “Go in and kill them; let no one escape.” So they cut them down with the sword. The guards and officers threw the bodies out and then entered the inner shrine of the temple of Baal. 26 They brought the sacred stone out of the temple of Baal and burned it. 27 They demolished the sacred stone of Baal and tore down the temple of Baal, and people have used it for a latrine to this day. 28 So Jehu destroyed Baal worship in Israel. 29 However, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan. 30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” 31 Yet Jehu was not careful to keep the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit. 17 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women. 5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.” 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go. 10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. 13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. 16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” 21 (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.) 22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. 24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c] 29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” 32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others. 1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. 2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples[a] under me. 3 Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them? 4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow. 5 Part your heavens, Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. 6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them. 7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners 8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. 9 I will sing a new song to you, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, 10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David. From the deadly sword 11 deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. 12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. 13 Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; 14 our oxen will draw heavy loads.[b] There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets. 15 Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the Lord. 27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. 28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

2 राजा 10 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) येहू सामरियाका प्रमुखहरूलाई लेख्छन् 10 आहाबका सत्तरी जना छोराहरू सामरियामा थिए। येहूले पत्रहरू लेखे अनि सामरियामा यिज्रेलका अगुवाहरू र शासकहरूकहाँ पठाए। उनले पत्रहरू ती मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि पठाए जसले आहाबका छोराहरूको हेरचाह गरेका थिए। पत्रहरूमा येहूले भने, 2-3 “यो पत्र पाउने बित्तिकै तिम्रा पिताहरूका छोराहरूमध्ये विशिष्ट अनि योग्य मानिसको छनौट गर। तिमीसँग रथहरू र घोडाहरू छन्। अनि तिमी दरिह्रिलो शहरमा बसिरहेका छौ। तिमीसँग हतियार पनि छ। छनौट गरेको छोरालाई पिताको सिंहासनमा राख। तब तिम्रो पिताको परिवारका लागि लडाइँ गर।” 4 तर यिज्रेलका अगुवाहरू तथा शासकहरू साह्रै डराएका थिए। तिनीहरू भन्थे, “दुइ जना राजा (योराम र अहज्याह) ले येहूलाई रोक्न सकेनन्। यसकारण हामी पनि उनलाई रोक्न सक्ने छैनौ।” 5 जुन मानिसले आहाबले घरको हेरचाह गर्यो, शहरका बूढा-पाका अनि मानिसहरूको रेख-देख गर्यो जसले आहाबका नानीहरूको हेरचाह गरेका थिए, त्यसले येहूलाई सन्देश पठायो, “हामी तपाईको सेवकहरू हौं। हामी तपाईले भनेको जे पनि गर्नेछौं। हामी कुनै मानिसलाई राजा बनाउने छैनौं। तपाई जे उचित सम्झनु हुन्छ, गर्नुहोस्।” सामरियाका अगुवाहरूले आहाबका नानीहरूलाई मार्छन् 6 तब येहूले अगुवाहरूलाई एउटा पत्र लेखे। येहूले भने, “यदि तिमीहरूले मलाई सहायता गर्छौ र मेरो हुकुम मान्ने छौ भने तब आहाबका छोराहरूका टाउका छिनाऊ। अनि भोलि यसै समयमा तिनीहरूलाई यिज्रेलमा ल्याऊ।” आहाबका सत्तरी जना छोराहरू थिए। तिनीहरू शहरका अगुवाहरूसँग थिए जसले तिनीहरूलाई हुकाउने गर्दथे। 7 जब शहरका अगुवाहरूले पत्र पाए, तिनीहरूले राजाका छोराहरू जम्मा गरे अनि सबै सत्तरी जना को हत्या गरे। तब अगुवाहरूले राजाका छोराहरूका टाउका डालाहरूमा हाले। तिनीहरूले डालाहरू यिज्रेलमा येहूकहाँ पठाए। 8 दूत येहूकहाँ आयो अनि उनलाई भन्यो, “तिनीहरूले राजाका छोराहरूका टाउकाहरू ल्याए।” तब येहूले भने, “टाउकाहरू शहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा बिहानसम्म दुइ थुप्रो बनाएर राख।” 9 येहू बिहानै बाहिर निस्के अनि मानिसहरूको सामु उभिए। उनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू निर्दोष छौ। हेर, मेरो मालिकको विरोधमा योजनाहरू मैले बनाएँ। मैले उसलाई मारें। तर आहाबका यी सबै छोराहरूलाई कसले मार्यो? तिमीहरूले मार्यौ। 10 तिमीहरूलाई थाह हुनु पर्छ परमप्रभुले भनेको प्रत्येक कुरो पूरा हुन्छ। अनि परमप्रभुले आहाबको परिवारको विषयमा यी कुरा भन्नका लागि एलियालाई प्रयोग गरे। अहिले परमप्रभुले त्यही काम गर्नुभयो जो उहाँले गर्छु भन्नुभएको थियो।” 11 यस प्रकार येहूले यिज्रेलमा बसोबास गर्ने आहाबको परिवारका सबै मानिसहरूको हत्या गरे। येहूले सबै प्रसिद्ध मानिसहरू, परममित्रहरू तथा पूजाहारीहरूको हत्या गरे। आहाबका आफन्तहरूमध्ये कोही जिउँदो रहेन। येहू अहज्याहका आफन्तहरूलाई मार्छन् 12 येहूले यिज्रेल छोडे अनि सामारिया गए। बाटोमा येहू भेंडा गोठालाहरू भएको ठाउँमा रोकिए जहाँ गोठालाहरूले आफ्ना भेंडाहरूको ऊन काट्ने गर्दथे। 13 येहूले यहूदाका राजा अहज्याहका आफन्तहरूसँग भेट गरे। येहूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ?” उनीहरूले उत्तर दिए, “हामी यहूदाका राजा अहज्याहाका आफन्त हौं। हामी नानीहरूका राजा अनि नानीहरूका आमाकी रानीको दर्शन गर्न तल ओर्लिएका छौं।” 14 तब येहूले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भने, “यिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै पक्रौं।” येहूका मानिसहरूले अहज्याहका आफन्तहरूलाई जिउँदै पक्रिए। 42 जना मानिसहरू थिए। येहूले तिनीहरूलाई बेत-एकद छेऊ कुपमा मारे। येहूले कुनै पनि मानिसलाई जिउँदो छोडेनन्। येहू यहोनादाबसित भेट गर्छन् 15 त्यहाँबाट गएपछि येहूले रेकाबका छोरा यहोनादाबसँग भेट गरे। यहोनादाब येहूसँग भेट गर्न आउँदै थिए। येहूले यहोनादाबको स्वागत गरे। उनलाई भने, “म तिम्रो विश्वासी मित्र भए जस्तै के तिमी मेरो विश्वासी मित्र हौ?” यहोनादाबले उत्तर दिए, “अवश्य, म तिम्रो विश्वासी मित्र हुँ।” येहूले भने, “यदि तिमी हौ भने मलाई तिम्रो हात देऊ।” तब येहू बाहिर निहुरिए अनि यहोनादाबलाई माथि रथमा ताने। 16 येहूले भने, “मसित आऊ! परमप्रभुप्रति मेरा भावनाहरू कति प्रबल छन् तिमी बुझ्न सक्ने छौ।” यसकारण यहोनादाब येहूको रथमा चढे। 17 येहू सामरिया आए अनि आहाबका सबै आफन्तहरूको हत्या गरे जो अझसम्म सामरियामा जिउँदै थिए। येहूले तिनीहरू सबैको हत्या गरे। येहूले ती कार्यहरू गरे जो परमप्रभुले एलियाहलाई भन्नुभएको थियो। येहू बालका उपासकहरूलाई बोलाउँछन् 18 त्यसपछि येहूले सबै मानिसहरूलाई जम्मा गरे। येहूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आहाबले बालको सेवा थोरै गरे। तर येहूले बालको सेवा मनग्गे गर्नेछ। 19 अहिले नै बालका सबै पूजाहारीहरू अनि अगमवक्ताहरूलाई बोलाऊ। अनि सँगसँगै बालको पूजा गर्ने सबै मानिसहरूलाई बोलाऊ। कोही पनि मानिसहरू यस सभामा नछुटुन्। म बाललाई साह्रै ठूलो बलि चढाउँनेछु। म कुनै पनि मानिसलाई मार्ने छु जो यस सभामा उपस्थित हुँदैनन्।” तर येहू तिनीहरूसँग छल गर्दै थिए। येहू बालका उपासकहरूलाई नष्ट पार्न चाहन्थे। 20 येहूले भने, “बालको लागि एउटा पवित्र सभाको आयोजना गर।” अनि पूजाहारीहरूले सभाको घोषणा गरे। 21 तब येहूले सबै इस्राएल भूमिका लागि सन्देश पठाए। सबै बालका उपासकहरू आए। घरमा बस्ने कोही पनि मानिस थिएन। बालका उपासकहरू बालको मन्दिरमा आए। मन्दिर मानिसहरूले भरिएको थियो। 22 येहूले भन्डारेलाई भने, “बालका उपासकहरूका लागि बाहिरी पोशाक ल्याऊ।” यसकारण त्यस मानिसले बालका उपासकहरूका लागि बाहिरी पोशाक ल्यायो। 23 त्यसपछि येहू र रेकाबका छोरा यहोनादाब बालको मन्दिरभित्र पसे। येहूले बालका उपासकहरूलाई भने, “चारैतिर हेर अनि विश्वस्त होऊ, परमप्रभुका सेवकहरू कोही छैनन्। विश्वस्त होऊ, बालको पूजा गर्ने मानिसहरू मात्र छन्।” 24 बालका उपासकहरू बालको मन्दिरमित्र बलिहरू र होमबलि चढाउन पसे। तर बाहिर येहूका 80 जना मानिसहरू पर्खिरहेका थिए। येहूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कोही पनि मानिसलाई भाग्ने मौका न देऊ। यदि कोही मानिसले एक जना मानिसलाई भाग्ने मौका दियो भने, त्यस मानिसले आफ्नो जीवनदान गर्नु पर्नेछ।” 25 येहूले बलि र होमबली चढाउने बित्तिकै उनले रक्षकहरू तथा सेनापतिहरूलाई भने, “भित्र जाऊ अनि बालका उपासकहरूलाई मार। कसैलाई पनि मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जिउँदो निस्कन नदिनु।” यसकारण सेनापतिहरूले पातलो तरवार प्रयोग गरे अनि बालका उपासकहरूलाई मारे। रक्षकहरू अनि सेनापतिहरूले बालका उपासकहरूका लाश बाहिर फ्याँके। त्यसपछि रक्षकहरू र सेनापतिहरू बालको मन्दिरको भित्री कोठामा गए। 26 तिनीहरू बालको मन्दिरमा भएका स्मारक ढुङ्गाहरू बाहिर निकाले अनि मन्दिरलाई जलाए। 27 तब तिनीले बालका स्मारक ढुङ्गाहरू फोरेर धूलोपीठो बनाए। तिनीले बालको मन्दिरलाई पनि फोरेर धूलोपीटो बनाए। तिनीहरूले बालको मन्दिरलाई आरामकोठा बनाए। मानिसहरू अझै पनि त्यस ठाउँलाई शौचालयको रूपमा प्रयोग गर्छन्। 28 यसप्रकार येहूले इस्राएलमा बालको पूजालाई अन्त गरिदिए। 29 तर येहू नबातको छोरा योराबामको पाप कार्यबाट सम्पूर्ण रूपले टाढिन सकेन जसले इस्राएलमा पाप गराएका थिए। येहूले बेतेल र दानमा सुनका बाछाहरूलाई नष्ट पारेनन्। इस्राएलमा येहूको शासन 30 परमप्रभुले येहूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले राम्रो काम गरेका छौ। तिमीले ती कार्यहरू गरेका छौ, जो म भन्छु, राम्रो कार्य हो। तिमीले मैले भने अनुसार नै आहाबको परिवारलाई सर्वनाश पार्यौ। यसकारण तिम्रा वंशजहरूले चार पुस्तासम्म इस्राएलमा शासन गर्नेछन्।” 31 तर येहू आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण हृदयले परमप्रभु इस्राएलको परमेश्वरका नियम पालन गर्न सावधान भएनन्। येहूले योरोबामको पापहरू गर्ने देखि रोकेनन् इस्राएलाई पाप गर्न लगायो। हजाएल इस्राएललाई पराजित गर्छन् 32 त्यस समयमा परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई टुक्रायाउन शुरू गर्नु भएको थियो। अरामका राजा हजाएलले इस्राएलीहरूलाई इस्राएलको प्रत्येक सीमानामा परास्त गरेका थिए। 33 हजाएलले यर्दन नदीको पूर्वको क्षेत्र गिलादका क्षेत्र, गाद, रूबेन र मनश्शेका परिवार समूहको जग्गासमेत अरोएर देखि लिएर अर्नोन नदीको नजिक गिलाद र बाशान सम्म सम्पूर्ण भूमि जीते। येहूको मृत्यु 34 सबै अरू महान कार्यहरू जो येहूले गरेका थिए, इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। 35 येहू मरे अनि उनलाई उनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडियो। मानिसहरूले येहूलाई सामरियामा गाडे। त्यसपछि येहूका छोरा योआहाज इस्राएलका नयाँ राजा भए। 36 येहूले सामरियामा 28 बर्ष शासन गरे।
