10：1 亞哈有七十個(gè)兒子在撒馬利亞。耶戶寫信送到撒馬利亞，通知耶斯列的首領(lǐng)，就是長(zhǎng)老和教養(yǎng)亞哈眾子的人，說(shuō)，And 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，

　　10：2 你們那里既有你們主人的眾子和車馬，器械，堅(jiān)固城，Now 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；

　　10：3 接了這信，就可以在你們主人的眾子中選擇一個(gè)賢能合宜的，使他坐他父親的位，你們也可以為你們主人的家爭(zhēng)戰(zhàn)。

　　Look 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.

　　10：4 他們卻甚懼怕，彼此說(shuō)，二王在他面前尚且站立不住，我們?cè)跄苷镜米∧亍?/p>

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

　　10：5 家宰，邑宰，和長(zhǎng)老，并教養(yǎng)眾子的人，打發(fā)人去見(jiàn)耶戶，說(shuō)，我們是你的仆人，凡你所吩咐我們的都必遵行，我們不立誰(shuí)作王，你看怎樣好就怎樣行。

　　And 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.

　　10：6 耶戶又給他們寫信說(shuō)，你們?nèi)魵w順我，聽從我的話，明日這時(shí)候，要將你們主人眾子的首級(jí)帶到耶斯列來(lái)見(jiàn)我。那時(shí)王的兒子七十人都住在教養(yǎng)他們那城中的尊貴人家里。

　　Then 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.

　　10：7 信一到，他們就把王的七十個(gè)兒子殺了，將首級(jí)裝在筐里，送到在耶斯列的耶戶那里。

　　And 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.

　　10：8 有使者來(lái)告訴耶戶說(shuō)，他們將王眾子的首級(jí)送來(lái)了。耶戶說(shuō)，將首級(jí)在城門口堆作兩堆，擱到明日。

　　And 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.

　　10：9 次日早晨，耶戶出來(lái)，站著對(duì)眾民說(shuō)，你們都是公義的，我背叛我主人，將他殺了。這些人卻是誰(shuí)殺的呢。

　　And 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？

　　10：10 由此可知，耶和華指著亞哈家所說(shuō)的話一句沒(méi)有落空，因?yàn)橐腿A藉他仆人以利亞所說(shuō)的話都成就了。

　　Know 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.

　　10：11 凡亞哈家在耶斯列所剩下的人和他的大臣，密友，祭司，耶戶盡都?xì)⒘耍瑳](méi)有留下一個(gè)。

　　So 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.

　　10：12 耶戶起身往撒馬利亞去。在路上，牧人剪羊毛之處，And he arose and departed， and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way，

　　10：13 遇見(jiàn)猶大王亞哈謝的弟兄，問(wèn)他們說(shuō)，你們是誰(shuí)。回答說(shuō)，我們是亞哈謝的弟兄，現(xiàn)在下去要問(wèn)王和太后的眾子安。

　　Jehu 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.

　　10：14 耶戶吩咐說(shuō)，活捉他們。跟從的人就活捉了他們，將他們殺在剪羊毛之處的坑邊，共四十二人，沒(méi)有留下一個(gè)。

　　And 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.

　　10：15 耶戶從那里前行，恰遇利甲的兒子約拿達(dá)來(lái)迎接他，耶戶問(wèn)他安，對(duì)他說(shuō)，你誠(chéng)心待我像我誠(chéng)心待你嗎。約拿達(dá)回答說(shuō)，是。耶戶說(shuō)，若是這樣，你向我伸手，他就伸手。耶戶拉他上車。

　　And 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.

　　10：16 耶戶說(shuō)，你和我同去，看我為耶和華怎樣熱心。于是請(qǐng)他坐在車上，And he said， Come with me， and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

　　10：17 到了撒馬利亞，就把撒馬利亞的亞哈家剩下的人都?xì)⒘耍钡綔绫M，正如耶和華對(duì)以利亞所說(shuō)的。

　　And 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.

　　10：18 耶戶招聚眾民，對(duì)他們說(shuō)，亞哈事奉巴力還冷淡，耶戶卻更熱心。

　　And Jehu gathered all the people together， and said unto them， Ahab served Baal a little； but Jehu shall serve him much.

　　10：19 現(xiàn)在我要給巴力獻(xiàn)大祭。應(yīng)當(dāng)叫巴力的眾先知和一切拜巴力的人，并巴力的眾祭司，都到我這里來(lái)，不可缺少一個(gè)。凡不來(lái)的必不得活。耶戶這樣行，是用詭計(jì)要?dú)⒈M拜巴力的人。

　　Now 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.

　　10：20 耶戶說(shuō)，要為巴力宣告嚴(yán)肅會(huì)。于是宣告了。

　　And Jehu said， Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

　　10：21 耶戶差人走遍以色列地。凡拜巴力的人都來(lái)齊了，沒(méi)有一個(gè)不來(lái)的。他們進(jìn)了巴力廟，巴力廟中從前邊直到后邊都滿了人。

　　And 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.

　　10：22 耶戶吩咐掌管禮服的人說(shuō)，拿出禮服來(lái)，給一切拜巴力的人穿。他就拿出禮服來(lái)給了他們。

　　And he said unto him that was over the vestry， Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

　　10：23 耶戶和利甲的兒子約拿達(dá)進(jìn)了巴力廟，對(duì)拜巴力的人說(shuō)，你們察看察看，在你們這里不可有耶和華的仆人，只可容留拜巴力的人。

　　And 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.

　　10：24 耶戶和約拿達(dá)進(jìn)去，獻(xiàn)平安祭和燔祭。耶戶先安排八十人在廟外，吩咐說(shuō)，我將這些人交在你們手中，若有一人脫逃，誰(shuí)放的必叫他償命。

　　And 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.

　　10：25 耶戶獻(xiàn)完了燔祭，就出來(lái)吩咐護(hù)衛(wèi)兵和眾軍長(zhǎng)說(shuō)，你們進(jìn)去殺他們，不容一人出來(lái)。護(hù)衛(wèi)兵和軍長(zhǎng)就用刀殺他們，將尸首拋出去，便到巴力廟的城去了，And 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.

　　10：26 將巴力廟中的柱像都拿出來(lái)燒了。

　　And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal， and burned them.

　　10：27 毀壞了巴力柱像，拆毀了巴力廟作為廁所，直到今日。

　　And they brake down the image of Baal， and brake down the house of Baal， and made it a draught house unto this day.

　　10：28 這樣，耶戶在以色列中滅了巴力。

　　Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

　　10：29 只是耶戶不離開尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪，就是拜伯特利和但的金牛犢。

　　Howbeit 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 Bethel， and that were in Dan.

　　10：30 耶和華對(duì)耶戶說(shuō)，因你辦好我眼中看為正的事，照我的心意待亞哈家，你的子孫必接續(xù)你坐以色列的國(guó)位，直到四代。

　　And 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.

　　10：31 只是耶戶不盡心遵守耶和華以色列神的律法，不離開耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。

　　But 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.

　　10：32 在那些日子，耶和華才割裂以色列國(guó)，使哈薛攻擊以色列的境界，In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short： and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel；

　　10：33 乃是約旦河?xùn)|，基列全地，從靠近亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥起，就是基列和巴珊的迦得人，流便人，瑪拿西人之地。

　　From 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.

　　10：34 耶戶其馀的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力都寫在以色列諸王記上。

　　Now 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？

　　10：35 耶戶與他列祖同睡，葬在撒馬利亞。他兒子約哈斯接續(xù)他作王。

　　And Jehu slept with his fathers： and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

　　10：36 耶戶在撒馬利亞作以色列王二十八年。

　　And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
