2 Kings 9:2-14

2When you arriveH935H8033, lookH7200H8033 for JehuH3058 sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250. Go inH935, get him awayH6965 fromH8432 his companionsH251, and takeH935 himH853 to an inner roomH2315. 3Then takeH3947 the flaskH6378 of oilH8081, pourH3332 it onH5921 his headH7218, and declareH559, ‘This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: I anointH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 IsraelH3478.’ Then openH6605 the doorH1817 and runH5127. Do notH3808 delayH2442!”

4So the youngH5288 prophetH5030 wentH1980 to Ramoth-gileadH7418H1568, 5and when he arrivedH935, the armyH2428 commandersH8269 were sittingH3427 thereH2009. “I have a messageH1697 for youH413, commanderH8269,” he saidH559.

“ForH413 whichH4310 of usH3605?” askedH559 JehuH3058.

“For youH413, commanderH8269,” he repliedH559.

6So Jehu got upH6965 and wentH935 into the houseH1004, where the young prophet pouredH3332 the oilH8081 onH413 his headH7218 and declaredH559, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘I anoint youH4886 kingH4428 overH413 the LORD’sH3068H413 peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 7And you are to strike downH5221 the houseH1004 of your masterH113 AhabH256, so that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 and the bloodH1818 of allH3605 the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068 shed by the handH3027 of JezebelH348. 8The wholeH3605 houseH1004 of AhabH256 will perishH6, and I will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 every maleH8366H7023,1 both slaveH6113 and freeH5800, in IsraelH3478. 9I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the housesH1004 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 and BaashaH1201 sonH1121 of AhijahH281. 10AndH853 on the plotH2506 of ground at JezreelH3157 the dogsH3611 will devourH398 JezebelH348, and there will be no oneH369 to buryH6912 her.’”

Then the young prophet openedH6605 the doorH1817 and ranH5127.

11When JehuH3058 went outH3318 toH413 the servantsH5650 of his masterH113, they askedH559, “Is everything all rightH7965? WhyH4069 did thisH2088 madmanH7696 comeH935 to youH413?”

“YouH859 knowH3045 his kindH376 and their babbleH7879,” he repliedH559H413.

12“That is a lieH8267!” they saidH559. “TellH5046 us nowH4994!”

So Jehu answeredH559, “He talkedH559 to meH413 about thisH2063 and thatH2063, sayingH559, ‘This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: I anointH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 IsraelH3478.’”

13QuicklyH4116, each manH376 tookH3947 his garmentH899 and putH7760 it underH8478 Jehu onH413 the bareH1634 stepsH4609. Then they blewH8628 the ram’s hornH7782 and proclaimedH559, “JehuH3058 is kingH4427!”

14Thus JehuH3058 sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, conspiredH7194 againstH413 JoramH3141.

(Now JoramH3141 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 had beenH1961 defendingH8104 Ramoth-gileadH7418H1568 againstH6440 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758,
