23 Then Joram turned his hand, and, fleeing, he said to Ahaziah, 'Treachery, Ahaziah!'
24 But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and he struck Joram between the shoulders. And the arrow went through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
25 And Jehu said to Bidkar, his commander: 'Take and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For I remember, when you and I, sitting in a chariot, were following Ahab, this man's father, that the Lord lifted this burden upon him, saying:
26 'Certainly, I will repay you in this field, says the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his sons, which I saw yesterday, says the Lord.' Therefore, take him now, and cast him into the field, in accord with the word of the Lord.'
27 But Ahaziah, the king of Judah, seeing this, fled along the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and he said, 'Strike this one also in his chariot.' And they struck him on the ascent to Gur, which is beside Ibleam. But he fled into Megiddo, and he died there.
