Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Profits are powerful people in ancient Israel.

We've repeatedly seen how they're the ones who annoyed kings, especially when a line of

errors is interrupted.

There's no voting because God is the one who runs their nation state, and He speaks through

the prophets.

They elicisense a young prophet to annoy Jahu as Israel's next king, and to give him

the wady task of fulfilling God's prophecy to wipe out all of Ahab's descendants, including

King Jorum, who is currently on the throne.

Jahu sets out on his secret campaign, and is even able to convince some of the king's

watchmen to follow him instead of oppose him, either because they had no idea what he

was doing or because they respected him enough to do what he said.

King Jorum of Israel and King Ahazaya of Judah both go out to meet Jahu in his crew, and

they meet him in the most appropriate of spots, the land of Naboth.

His vineyard is the whole reason this trouble started to begin with.

Ahab wanted it, Jezebel killed for it, and God pronounced the death penalty on their whole

family, which Jahu is here to enact.

He kills both kings, then he goes after Jezebel.

She gets dressed up for the occasion.

It seems like she wants to look lovely when she dies.

Maybe this is where she gets the reputation of being a loose woman.

After all, everybody knows you can't trust a woman wearing eye shadow for crying out loud.
