2 Kings 9:26

Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth
These are the words of the Lord to Elijah the day after Naboth was put to death:

and the blood of his sons, said the Lord;
who were put to death with him, that there might be no heirs to the estate:

and I will requite thee in this place:
take vengeance here, as he now did on his son:

now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according
to the word of the Lord;
whereby it would be fulfilled, see ( 1 Kings 21:19 ) , more is here recited than there, which Jehu well remembered.

2 Kings 9:26 In-Context

24 Now Jehu drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot.

25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him into the tract of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him:

27 But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the road to Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, "Shoot him also in the chariot." And they shot him at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
