2 Kings 9:14-16

International Standard Version

Joram (Also Known as Jehoram) is Assassinated^(A)

¹⁴ Meanwhile, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehu, the grandson of Nimshi, had been conspiring against Joram while Joram and all the army of^[a] Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against King Hazael from Aram. (¹⁵ But King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from wounds he had sustained from the Arameans when he had fought against King Hazael from Aram.) So Jehu concluded, “Since this is what you’ve decided,^[b] then let no one get away, leave the city, and go report to Jezreel!” ¹⁶ Then Jehu rode by chariot to Jezreel, since Joram was recovering^[c] there. King Ahaziah from Judah had come to visit Joram.
