For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:

Verse 8 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Elisha sends one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as king over Israel. The mission is intended to execute the judgment announced against Ahab’s house through a new dynasty. The young prophet must act quickly and flee after delivering the message. Jehu’s anointing does not automatically make all his later actions morally exemplary; within the narrative, it specifically establishes his role in judgment against a royal house that had promoted idolatry and violence. The prophetic word again intervenes directly in political succession.

daß das ganze Haus Ahab umkomme. Und ich will von Ahab ausrotten, was männlich ist, den Verschlossenen und Verlassenen in Israel,
Y perecerá toda la casa de Achâb, y talaré de Achâb todo meante a la pared, así al guardado como al desamparado en Israel.
Toda la casa de Acab perecerá. Exterminaré de la casa de Acab a todo varón en Israel, tanto esclavo como libre.
Toute la maison d'Achab périra; j'exterminerai quiconque appartient à Achab, celui qui est esclave et celui qui est libre en Israël,
E tutta la casa di Achab perirà, ed io distruggerò chiunque appartiene ad Achab, fino al piccolo fanciullo, e chiunque è serrato, e chiunque è abbandonato in Israele.
E toda a casa de Acabe perecerá; destruirei de Acabe todo o homem, tanto o encerrado como o absolvido em Israel.
亞哈 全家都必滅亡,凡屬 亞哈 的男丁,無論是奴役的、自由的,我必從 以色列 中剪除。
