The account in the parallel passage is somewhat different. "The current of the story at large is this ," says Dr. Lightfoot . "Jehu slayeth Joram in the field of Jezreel , as Ahaziah and Joram were together . Ahaziah seeing this , flies , and gets into Samaria , and hides himself there. Jehu marches to Jezreel , and makes Jezebel dogs' meat . from thence sends to Samaria for the heads of Ahab's children and posterity; which are brought him by night , and shewed to the people in the morning. Then he marches to Samaria , and , by the way , slayeth forty-two of Ahab's kinsmen , and findeth Jehonadab , the father of the Rechabites. Coming into Samaria , he maketh search for Ahaziah . they find him hid , bring him to Jehu , and he commands to carry him towards Gur , by Ibleam , and there to slay him. They do so . smite him in his chariot , and his charioteer driveth away to Megiddo before he dies." "
