And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Joram said, 'Get my chariot ready.' So his chariot was prepared. Then Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, each rode out in their own chariots to meet Jehu. They encountered him at the property that had once belonged to Naboth from Jezreel.
Two kings rode out in their chariots to confront Jehu, and they met him at the very place where an innocent man named Naboth had once owned land.
📚 Historical Context
This meeting took place during Jehu's divinely appointed mission to destroy the house of Ahab. The location is deeply significant—Naboth's vineyard was where King Ahab and Queen Jezebel had committed murder to steal land, as recorded earlier in 1 Kings 21. God's judgment was now coming full circle at the very site of their crime.
