Then Jehu said to his adjutant Bidkar, “Take him and throw him into the plot of ground in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember when you and I were driving teams behind Ahab his father, the Lord delivered this oracle against him:

You love evil more than good, lying rather than saying what is right. Selah
The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be serious and sober for prayers.
