2 Kings 9

In case you were wondering about this chapter for some obscure reason, this is the story of the assassination of Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Jezebel. To complete the context, I suppose we should do chapter 8 and 10 as well.

This is definitely a period of complete social breakdown in Israel and Judah, a bit of history not to be imitated or celebrated or applied. The behaviour described here is not a prescription for anyone.

The music is derived from the accents in the Hebrew Bible. Introductions - letters, music, text and music, and terminology, are here. The text has been reviewed for errors against the Aleppo Codex.

The score is long so I have embedded it. 

2 Kings 9: Syllables: 1473; Longest recitation: 26; Tenor: B 23.69%.

B as tenor is the main recitation note for story-telling and political reporting. This includes the sense of announcement, proclamation, etc, and it is the first natural harmonic of the Shofar above its tonic e. The book of Kings is one of the '21' prose books, so all of the bicola are 1-4-1 or bi-colon-A.

I have divided this passage into sections. Two of the sections reduce the recitation tenor to e. For posts comparing poetry and prose, see the series on poetry. The harmonic direction in these verses is always 1-4-1. There are other pauses, particularly consistent with zaqef-qaton - which most of the time the software marks a breath, but there is no other cadence in the inner verse other than the cadence on the subdominant (4) and the final on the tonic (1). Taking the verse by verse analysis as read, I will see if I can point out a few features.

and take the vial

In prose, watch for the use of accents that highlight a word or several words in the passage. For instance, the telisha gedolah on and take in bar 5. How often does this ornament occur and in what context? Is it word painting or conceptual linkage? The next occurrence is in bar 12, verse 2. Verses 2 and 3 tell hnyr hnbia, the lad, the prophet, what to do. And verse 4 tells us that he went as he was directed.

Telisha-gedola occurs a little over 1100 times in the 21 books, 74 times in 2 Kings, and 4 of them are in this chapter. So if we were studying all the music, we would see this accent relatively frequently. For the remaining two in this chapter, see verse 21, bar 201 where the ornament identifies the king of Israel, and verse 27 bar 258 where Jehu commands the death of Ahaziah, king of Judah. The strange aspect of the kings of this time is that their anointing seems to lead first to murder. Another bit of history not to be imitated. The use of ornaments in the text needs some study. I don't think anyone, scholar or enthusiast, has done this to date with any clarity.

This music is not like the psalms. There I hope to stimulate the use of the music. Here we have another set of issues. The early and later prophets have songs and elegies to sing, but not in this chapter. Here we learn how early scribes annotated the text without words, recording the story with canonical commentary through the use of recitation and ornamentation. 

Verse 5 is the only verse without an inner cadence. Such verses like this one move the action along. They are particularly poignant in the Song of Songs and Lamentations where they are effectively used though for very different reasons: in the Song for a sense of urgency, and in Lamentations, throughout the 66 verses of the middle chapter (with one exception), almost resignation to grief. I hope to get to these books again some day but in the meanwhile you can find the music here, the PDF for the Five Scrolls.

In this chapter, all verses begin on the tonic. There are a few verses in 2 Kings that begin with ornaments or with an accent under the text that overrides the default e, but not as many in this book than we have seen in the psalms. In the prose books, about 10% of the verses have a first note that is not the tonic. In the poetry books the number of verses with a first note that is not the tonic is 30%.

There are many other aspects of this recitation that are interesting, but they would take away from my work on the psalms. I will approach the prose later maybe. You might be interested in the ways in which the phrase 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel,' is set to the music. The exact setting in verse 6 recurs in other settings, and of course there are variations. 

A typical introduction to prophetic speech

There are also ornaments like the tarsin of verse 7 highlighting vengeance, and in later verses the telisha qetana highlighting asides. There are common combinations like the double qadma, and rarer ones like the tsinnor segol sequence. Because of its sheer volume, I will need a variety of  approaches to musical phrases in the prose. I think we can note for now that the ornaments have the capacity to make musical comments on the text. These are untranslatable to our bias towards visual abstraction and power. We love vengeance for all the wrong reasons. The high C is a note of grief, not of approval. I repeat the concern from the Mishnah (b. Megilla 32a, on Ezekiel 20 verse 25 that if we hear the text without a melody, i.e. the tone of voice, we are likely to hear it wrong and get given (divine passive), or give ourselves "statutes that are not good and judgments that will not live in us".

So please do not read to your destruction or to anyone else's.

A disciple of Elisha anoints Jehu king

1 And Elisha the prophet called to one among the children of the prophets, saying to him, Attire your loins, and take this vial of oil in your hand, and come to the high ground of Gilead.

2 And you will come there. And you will see there Jehu, child of Jehoshaphat, child of Nimshi, and you will enter. And you will make him arise from among his kin, and you will have him go into an inner room.

3 And you will take a vial of oil that you will infuse on his head, and say, Thus says Yahweh, I have anointed you king over Israel. Then open the gateway and withdraw, and do not tarry.

5 And he came. And behold, the chiefs of the force were sitting, and he said, A word I have for you, O chief. And Jehu said, To whom among all of us? And he said, To you O chief.

6 And he arose and he entered towards the house. And he infused oil on his head, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, over Israel.

7 And you will strike the house of Ahab your lord, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, from the hand of Jezebel.

8 And the whole house of Ahab will perish. And I will cut off of Ahab those who piss on the house wall, the contained and forsaken in Israel.

9 And I will consign the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam, child of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha, child of Achiyah.

10 And Jezebel the dogs will eat, in the division of Jezreel and there will be no entombment. And he opened the gateway and withdrew.

Jehu proclaimed king

11 And Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, Is it well? Why has this crazy come to you? And he said to them, You yourselves know the man and his blather.

12 And they said, Falsehood. Tell, if you will, to us. And he said, Such as this and like this he said to me, saying, Thus says Yahweh, I have anointed you king over Israel.

13 And they rushed headlong, and they took each his garment that they put under him at the strong bone of the stairs, and they sounded the shophar and said, Jehu is king.

Jehu prepares to usurp power (tenor e)

14 And Jehu child of Jehoshaphat child of Nimshi colluded against Joram. (Joram was keeping the high ground of Gilead he and all Israel in the face of Hazael king of Aram.

15 And Jehoram the king returned to be healed in Jezreel from the defeats that the Aramaeans struck when they fought with Hazael king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your integrity, do not let anyone securely go forth from the city to walk out to make it clear in Jezreel.
טו וישב֩ יהור֨ם המ֜לך להתרפ֣א ביזרע֗אל מן־המכים֙ אש֣ר יכ֣הו ארמ֔ים בהל֣חמ֔ו את־חזא֖ל מ֣לך אר֑ם וי֤אמר יהוא֙ אם־י֣ש נפשכ֔ם אל־יצ֤א פליט֙ מן־הע֔יר לל֖כת להג֥יד ביזרעֽאל	43 29		Tv viwb ihorm hmlç lhtrpa bizryal mn-hmcim awr icuhu armim bhilkmo at-kzal mlç arm viamr ihua am-iw npwcm al-iixa pliT mn-hyir llct lhgid bizryal
16 And Jehu rode and went to Jezreel, for Joram was laid out there, and Ahaziah king of Judah went down to see Joram.

17 And the lookout stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw a profusion of Jehu as he came. And he said, A profusion I myself see. And Jehoram said, Take a rider, and send to encounter them, and let him say, Is it peace?
יז והצפה֩ עמ֨ד עֽל־המגד֜ל ביזרע֗אל וי֞רא את־שפע֤ת יהוא֙ בבא֔ו וי֕אמר שפע֖ת אנ֣י רא֑ה וי֣אמר יהור֗ם ק֥ח רכ֛ב וֽשל֥ח לקראת֖ם ויאמ֥ר השלֽום	33 20		iz vhxoph yomd yl-hmgdl bizryal vira at-wpyt ihua bboao viamr wpyt ani roah viamr ihorm qk rcb uwlk lqratm viamr hwlom
18 And a rider went on the horse to encounter him, and he said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What is it to you? And for peace, turn around behind me. And the lookout announced, saying, The messenger came up to them, and he does not return.

19 And he sent a second rider on a horse, and he came to them and he said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Jehu said, What is it to you? And for peace, turn around behind me.

21 And Jehoram said, Hitch the straps, and straps were hitched of his chariot. And Jehoram king of Israel went out, and Achaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they went forth to encounter Jehu and found him in a part of Naboth the Jezreelite.

22 And it happened that when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace while the harlotries of Jezebel your mother and her sorceries are many?

27 And Ahaziah king of Judah saw, and withdrew by the way of the garden house. But Jehu pursued behind him, and he said, Also him. Strike him by the chariot in the ascent of terror, that is by Yiblam. And he withdrew to Megiddo, and died there.
