2 Kings 9:2-14

2And when thou comest thither, lookH7200 out there JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and goH935 in, and make him ariseH6965 up from among his brethren, and carryH6965 him to an innerH2315 chamberH2315. 3Then takeH3947 the vial of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it on his headH7218, and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. Then openH6605 the doorH1817, and fleeH5127, and tarry not. 4So the youngH5288 manH5288, even the youngH5288 manH5288 the prophetH5030, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5And when he cameH935, behold, the captains of the host were sittingH3427; and he saidH559, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And JehuH3058 saidH559, Unto which of us all? And he saidH559, To thee, O captain. 6And he aroseH6965, and wentH935 into the houseH1004; and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over the peopleH5971 of Jehovah, even over IsraelH3478. 7And thou shalt smite the houseH1004 of AhabH256 thy masterH113, that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of all the servantsH5650 of Jehovah, at the handH3027 of JezebelH348. 8For the whole houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6; and I will cutH3772 off from AhabH256 every man-child, and him that is shutH6113 up and him that is leftH5800 at large in IsraelH3478. 9And I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281. 10And the dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, and there shall be none to buryH6912 her. And he openedH6605 the doorH1817, and fledH5127.

11Then JehuH3058 cameH935 forthH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and oneH376 saidH559 unto him, Is all well? wherefore cameH935 this madH7696 fellow to thee? And he saidH559 unto them, Ye knowH3045 the manH376 and what his talk was. 12And they saidH559, It is false; tellH5046 us now. And he saidH559, ThusH3541 and thusH3541 spake he to me, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 13Then they hasted, and tookH3947 every manH376 his garmentH899, and putH7760 it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpetH7782, sayingH559, JehuH3058 is kingH4427.

14So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspired against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 wasH1961 keepingH8104 Ramoth-gilead, he and all IsraelH3478, because of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria;
