25 Then said [0559] Jehu to Bidkar [0920] his captain [07991], Take up [05375], and cast [07993] him in the portion [02513] of the field [07704] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158]: for remember [02142] how that, when I and thou rode [07392] together [06776] after [0310] Ahab [0256] his father [01], the LORD [03068] laid [05375] this burden [04853] upon him;
