彼眾懼甚、曰、二王不能禦之、我儕何能禦乎、

當事者懼甚、曰、二王敵耶戶、尚為所敗、我焉能禦之。

彼皆懼甚、相語曰、二王尚不能立於其前、我儕焉能敵耶、

The leaders of Samaria were terrified. They said,“ King Joram and King Ahaziah couldn’t stand up against Jehu. So how can we?”

But they were exceedingly afraid and said,“ Behold, the two kings could not stand before him. How then can we stand?”

But they were paralyzed with fear and said,“ We’ve seen that two kings couldn’t stand against this man! What can we do?”

However, they were terrified and reasoned,“ Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?”

But they feared greatly and said,“ Behold, the two kings did not stand firm before him; how then can we stand?”

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said,“ Look, two kings could not stand up to him; how then can we stand?”

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

When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. 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.

Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot.

I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire.

“ Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?”

“ Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him.
