2 Reyes 10
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial
1Ora, Acabe tinha setenta filhos em Samaria. Jeú escreveu cartas e as enviou a Samaria, aos governantes de Jezreel, aos anciãos, e àqueles que criavam os filhos de Acabe, dizendo:
2“Agora, assim que esta carta chegar a vocês, visto que os filhos do seu senhor estão com vocês, e vocês têm carros e cavalos, também uma cidade fortificada e armas,
3escolham o melhor e mais capaz dos filhos do seu senhor, coloquem-no no trono de seu pai, e lutem pela casa do seu senhor.”
4Mas eles ficaram com muito medo, e disseram: “Vejam, os dois reis não resistiram diante dele! Como então nós resistiremos?”
5Aquele que administrava o palácio, e aquele que governava a cidade, também os anciãos, e os tutores das crianças, mandaram dizer a Jeú: “Nós somos seus servos, e faremos tudo o que você nos pedir. Não faremos de nenhum homem rei. Faça o que parecer bem aos seus olhos.”
6Então ele lhes escreveu uma carta pela segunda vez, dizendo: “Se vocês estão do meu lado, e se vão dar ouvidos à minha voz, peguem as cabeças dos homens que são filhos do seu senhor, e venham a mim em Jezreel amanhã a esta hora.” Ora, os filhos do rei, sendo setenta pessoas, estavam com os grandes homens da cidade, que os criavam.
7Quando a carta chegou a eles, pegaram os filhos do rei e os mataram, todas as setenta pessoas, colocaram suas cabeças em cestos, e as enviaram a ele em Jezreel.
8Um mensageiro veio e lhe disse: “Eles trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei.” Ele disse: “Coloquem-nas em dois montes à entrada da porta até a manhã.”
9Pela manhã, ele saiu e ficou de pé, e disse a todo o povo: “Vocês são justos. Eis que eu conspirei contra o meu senhor e o matei, mas quem matou todos estes?
10Saibam agora que nada cairá por terra da palavra do SENHOR, que o SENHOR falou a respeito da casa de Acabe. Pois o SENHOR fez o que ele falou por meio do seu servo Elias.”
11Assim, Jeú feriu todos os que restavam da casa de Acabe em Jezreel, com todos os seus grandes homens, seus amigos íntimos, e seus sacerdotes, até que não lhe deixou nenhum sobrevivente.
12Ele se levantou e partiu, e foi para Samaria. Estando ele na casa de tosquia dos pastores no caminho,
13Jeú encontrou-se com os irmãos de Acazias, rei de Judá, e disse: “Quem são vocês?” Eles responderam: “Nós somos os irmãos de Acazias. Estamos descendo para saudar os filhos do rei e os filhos da rainha.”
14Ele disse: “Peguem-nos vivos!” Eles os pegaram vivos, e os mataram junto ao poço da casa de tosquia, quarenta e dois homens. Ele não deixou nenhum deles.
15Tendo partido dali, ele encontrou Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que vinha ao seu encontro. Ele o saudou, e lhe disse: “O seu coração é reto, assim como o meu coração é com o seu coração?” Jonadabe respondeu: “É.” “Se é, dê-me a sua mão.” Ele lhe deu a mão; e ele o fez subir para junto de si no carro.
16Ele disse: “Venha comigo, e veja o meu zelo pelo SENHOR.” Assim, o fizeram andar no seu carro.
17Quando ele chegou a Samaria, feriu todos os que restavam de Acabe em Samaria, até destruí-los, de acordo com a palavra do SENHOR que ele falou a Elias.
18Jeú reuniu todo o povo, e lhes disse: “Acabe serviu pouco a Baal, mas Jeú o servirá muito.
19Agora, portanto, chamem a mim todos os profetas de Baal, todos os seus adoradores, e todos os seus sacerdotes. Que ninguém falte, pois tenho um grande sacrifício a Baal. Quem faltar, não viverá.” Mas Jeú agiu com engano, com a intenção de destruir os adoradores de Baal.
20Jeú disse: “Santifiquem uma assembleia solene para Baal!” Então eles a proclamaram.
21Jeú enviou mensageiros por todo o Israel; e todos os adoradores de Baal vieram, de modo que não restou um só homem que não viesse. Eles entraram na casa de Baal; e a casa de Baal ficou cheia de uma extremidade à outra.
22Ele disse àquele que guardava o vestiário: “Traga vestes para todos os adoradores de Baal!” Então ele lhes trouxe as vestes.
23Jeú entrou com Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, na casa de Baal. Então ele disse aos adoradores de Baal: “Procurem, e vejam que nenhum dos servos do SENHOR está aqui com vocês, mas apenas os adoradores de Baal.”
24Então eles entraram para oferecer sacrifícios e holocaustos. Ora, Jeú havia designado para si oitenta homens do lado de fora, e disse: “Se escapar algum dos homens que eu entregar nas mãos de vocês, aquele que o deixar ir, a sua vida será pela vida dele.”
25Assim que ele terminou de oferecer o holocausto, Jeú disse aos guardas e aos capitães: “Entrem e matem-nos! Que ninguém escape.” Então eles os feriram ao fio da espada. Os guardas e os capitães jogaram os corpos para fora, e foram ao santuário interior da casa de Baal.
26Eles tiraram as colunas que estavam na casa de Baal e as queimaram.
27Eles derrubaram a coluna de Baal, e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram dela uma latrina, até o dia de hoje.
28Assim Jeú destruiu Baal de Israel.
29No entanto, Jeú não se desviou dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, com os quais ele fez Israel pecar — os bezerros de ouro que estavam em Betel e que estavam em Dã.
30O SENHOR disse a Jeú: “Porque você fez bem em executar o que é reto aos meus olhos, e fez à casa de Acabe de acordo com tudo o que estava no meu coração, os seus descendentes se assentarão no trono de Israel até a quarta geração.”
31Mas Jeú não teve o cuidado de andar na lei do SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, com todo o seu coração. Ele não se desviou dos pecados de Jeroboão, com os quais ele fez Israel pecar.
32Naqueles dias o SENHOR começou a cortar partes de Israel; e Hazael os feriu em todas as fronteiras de Israel,
33desde o Jordão para o leste, toda a terra de Gileade, os gaditas, os rubenitas, e os manassitas, desde Aroer, que fica junto ao vale do Arnom, até Gileade e Basã.
34Ora, o restante dos atos de Jeú, e tudo o que ele fez, e todo o seu poder, não estão eles escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
35Jeú descansou com seus pais; e eles o sepultaram em Samaria. Jeoacaz, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
36O tempo que Jeú reinou sobre Israel em Samaria foi de vinte e oito anos.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y TENÍA Achâb en Samaria setenta hijos; y escribió letras Jehú, y enviólas á Samaria á los principales de Jezreel, á los ancianos y á los ayos de Achâb, diciendo:
2Luego en llegando estas letras á vosotros los que tenéis los hijos de vuestro señor, y los que tenéis carros y gente de á caballo, la ciudad pertrechada, y las armas,
3Mirad cuál es el mejor y él más recto de los hijos de vuestro señor, y ponedlo en el trono de su padre, y pelead por la casa de vuestro señor.
4Mas ellos tuvieron gran temor, y dijeron: He aquí dos reyes no pudieron resistirle, ¿cómo le resistiremos nosotros?
5Y el mayordomo, y el presidente de la ciudad, y los ancianos, y los ayos, enviaron á decir á Jehú: Siervos tuyos somos, y haremos todo lo que nos mandares: no elegiremos por rey á ninguno; tú harás lo que bien te pareciere.
6El entonces les escribió la segunda vez, diciendo: Si sois míos, y queréis obedecerme, tomad las cabezas de los varones hijos de vuestro señor, y venid mañana á estas horas á mí á Jezreel. Y los hijos del rey, setenta varones, estaban con los principales de la ciudad, que los criaban.
7Y como las letras llegaron á ellos, tomaron á los hijos del rey, y degollaron setenta varones, y pusieron sus cabezas en canastillos, y enviáronselas á Jezreel.
8Y vino un mensajero que le dió las nuevas, diciendo: Traído han las cabezas de los hijos del rey. Y él le dijo: Ponedlas en dos montones á la entrada de la puerta hasta la mañana.
9Venida la mañana, salió él, y estando en pie dijo á todo el pueblo: Vosotros sois justos: he aquí yo he conspirado contra mi señor, y lo he muerto: ¿mas quién ha muerto á todos estos?
10Sabed ahora que de la palabra de Jehová que habló sobre la casa de Achâb, nada caerá en tierra: y que Jehová ha hecho lo que dijo por su siervo Elías.
11Mató entonces Jehú á todos los que habían quedado de la casa de Achâb en Jezreel, y á todos sus príncipes, y á todos sus familiares, y á sus sacerdotes, que no le quedó ninguno.
12Y levantóse de allí, y vino á Samaria; y llegando él en el camino á una casa de esquileo de pastores,
13Halló allí á los hermanos de Ochôzías rey de Judá, y díjoles: ¿Quién sois vosotros? Y ellos dijeron: Somos hermanos de Ochôzías, y hemos venido á saludar á los hijos del rey, y á los hijos de la reina.
14Entonces él dijo: Prendedlos vivos. Y después que los tomaron vivos, degolláronlos junto al pozo de la casa de esquileo, cuarenta y dos varones, sin dejar ninguno de ellos.
15Partiéndose luego de allí encontróse con Jonadab hijo de Rechâb; y después que lo hubo saludado, díjole: ¿Es recto tu corazón, como el mío es recto con el tuyo? Y Jonadab dijo: Lo es. Pues que lo es, dame la mano. Y él le dió su mano. Hízolo luego subir consigo en el carro.
16Y díjole: Ven conmigo, y verás mi celo por Jehová. Pusiéronlo pues en su carro.
17Y luego que hubo Jehú llegado á Samaria, mató á todos los que habían quedado de Achâb en Samaria, hasta extirparlos, conforme á la palabra de Jehová, que había hablado por Elías.
18Y juntó Jehú todo el pueblo, y díjoles: Achâb sirvió poco á Baal; mas Jehú lo servirá mucho.
19Llamadme pues luego á todos los profetas de Baal, á todos sus siervos, y á todos sus sacerdotes; que no falte uno, porque tengo un gran sacrifico para Baal; cualquiera que faltare, no vivirá. Esto hacía Jehú con astucia, para destruir á los que honraban á Baal.
20Y dijo Jehú: Santificad un día solemne á Baal. Y ellos convocaron.
21Y envió Jehú por todo Israel, y vinieron todos los siervos de Baal, que no faltó ninguno que no viniese. Y entraron en el templo de Baal, y el templo de Baal se llenó de cabo á cabo.
22Entonces dijo al que tenía el cargo de las vestiduras: Saca vestiduras para todos lo siervos de Baal. Y él les sacó vestimentas.
23Y entró Jehú con Jonadab hijo de Rechâb en el templo de Baal, y dijo á los siervos de Baal: Mirad y ved que por dicha no haya aquí entre vosotros alguno de los siervos de Jehová, sino solos los siervos de Baal.
24Y como ellos entraron para hacer sacrificios y holocaustos, Jehú puso fuera ochenta hombres, y díjoles: Cualquiera que dejare vivo alguno de aquellos hombres que yo he puesto en vuestras manos, su vida será por la del otro.
25Y después que acabaron ellos de hacer el holocausto, Jehú dijo á los de su guardia y á los capitanes: Entrad, y matadlos; que no escape ninguno. Y los hirieron á cuchillo: y dejáronlos tendidos los de la guardia y los capitanes, y fueron hasta la ciudad del templo de Baal.
26Y sacaron las estatuas de la casa de Baal, y quemáronlas.
27Y quebraron la estatua de Baal, y derribaron la casa de Baal, é hiciéronla necesaria, hasta hoy.
28Así extinguió Jehú á Baal de Israel.
29Con todo eso Jehú no se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, que hizo pecar á Israel; á saber, de en pos de los becerros de oro que estaban en Beth-el y en Dan.
30Y Jehová dijo á Jehú: Por cuanto has hecho bien ejecutando lo recto delante de mis ojos, é hiciste á la casa de Achâb conforme á todo lo que estaba en mi corazón, tus hijos se sentarán sobre el trono de Israel hasta la cuarta generación.
31Mas Jehú no cuidó de andar en la ley de Jehová Dios de Israel con todo su corazón, ni se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam, el que había hecho pecar á Israel.
32En aquellos días comenzó Jehová á talar en Israel: é hiriólos Hazael en todos los términos de Israel,
33Desde el Jordán al nacimiento del sol, toda la tierra de Galaad, de Gad, de Rubén, y de Manasés, desde Aroer que está junto al arroyo de Arnón, á Galaad y á Basán.
34Lo demás de los hechos de Jehú, y todas las cosas que hizo, y toda su valentía, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
35Y durmió Jehú con sus padres, y sepultáronlo en Samaria: y reinó en su lugar Joachâz su hijo.
36El tiempo que reinó Jehú sobre Israel en Samaria, fué veintiocho años.
King James Version
1And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab’s children, saying,
2Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
3Look even out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.
4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
5And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
6Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
7And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
8And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
9And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
10Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.
11So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
12And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
13Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
14And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
15And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.
17And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
18And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
19Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
21And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
22And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
23And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
24And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
25And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
27And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.
30And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
32In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
33From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
World English Bible
1Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
2“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
3select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
5He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
6Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
7When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
8A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
9In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
11So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
13Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
14He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.
15When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
17When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
18Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
19Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
20Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
21Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
23Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
24So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
25As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
27They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
28Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
30The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
31But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
32In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
33from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
