2 Kings 9:1-10

1Now Elisha the prophet called one of 1the sons of the prophets and said to him, “2Gird up your loins, and 3take this flask of oil in your hand and go to 4Ramoth-gilead. 2When you arrive there, 5search out 6Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and 78bid him arise from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room. 3Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says the Lord, “9I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee and do not wait.”

4So 10the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, O captain.” And Jehu said, “11For which one of us?” And he said, “For you, O captain.” 6He arose and went into the house, and he poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘12I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. 7You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, 13that I may avenge 14the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, 15at the hand of Jezebel. 8For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and 16I will cut off from Ahab 17every male person 18both bond and free in Israel. 919I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and 20like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 1021The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
