2 Kings 9:4-13

4And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.

5And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting. And he said, I have an errand to thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain.

6And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the 1God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel.

7And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel.

8And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.

9And I will make the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

10And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel, and none shall bury her. And he opened the door and fled.

11And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.

12And they said, It is false! tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel.

13Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king!
