20th Strategy.
And What Do I Do With That?

  • Open your heart in prayer.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
  • Read the passage.
  • Re-read the passage.
  • Are there hard realities addressed in the passage?
  • Does the passage read like a scene from an action film, or a page from a crime-drama?
  • Is God wanting to shove the past horrors and evils under the rug?
  • Do the choices in people's actions bring about an end result of consequences?
  • Ask God to give you the ability to see people through His eyes.
  • Ask God to give you the ability to love people as He loves them.
  • Give God the permission to change your mind, your heart, and your words.
  • Realize that no matter where you stand, you are being molded.
  • Bring your heart back to the Father and pray for those you love.
  • Remember to thank God for His answers.

14. So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, led a conspiracy against King Joram. (Now Joram had been with the army at Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against the forces of King Hazael of Aram.
​15. But King Joram was wounded in the fighting and returned to Jezreel to recover from his wounds.) So Jehu told the men with him, "If you a want me to be king, don't let anyone leave town and go to Jezreel to report what we have done."

16. Then Jehu got into a chariot and rode to Jezreel to find King Joram, who was lying there wounded. King Ahaziah of Judah was there, too, for he had gone to visit him. 
17. The watchman on the tower of Jezreel saw Jehu and his company approaching, so he shouted to Joram, "I see a company of troops coming!"

"Send our a rider to ask if they are coming in peace," KIng Joram ordered.
18. So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said, "The king wants to now if you are coming in peace."

​Jehu replied, "What do you you know about peace! Fall in behind me!
The watchman called out to the king, "The messenger has met them, but he's not returning."

19. So the king sent out a second horseman. He rode up to them and said, "The king wants to know if you come in peace."

Again Jehu answered, "What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!"

20. The watchman exclaimed, "The messenger has met them, but he isn't returning either! It must be Jehu son of Nimshi, for he's driving like a madman."

21. "Quick! Get my chariot ready!" King Joram commanded.

Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah rode out in their chariots to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth of Jezreel.

22. King Joram demanded, "Do you come in peace, Jehu?"

Jehu replied, "How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother, Jezebel, are all around us?"

23. Then King Joram turned the horses around and fled, shouting to King Ahaziah, "Treason, Ahaziah!"
24. But Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he sank down dead in his chariot.

25. Jehu said to Bidkar, his officer, "Throw him into the plot of land that belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Do you remember when you and I were riding along behind his father, Ahab? The LORD pronounced this message against him:
26. 'I solemnly swear that I will repay him here on this plot of land, says the LORD, for the murder of Naboth and his sons that I saw yesterday.' So throw him out on Naboth's property, just as the LORD said,"
27. When king Ahaziah of Judah saw what was happening, he fled along the road to Beth-haggan. Jehu rode after him, shouting, "Shoot him, too!" So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot at the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam. He was able to go on as far as Megiddo, but he died there.
28. His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem, where they buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. 
29. Ahaziah had become king of Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab.
