1Now ElishaH477 the prophetH5030 calledH7121 oneH259 of 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 and saidH559 to him, “2GirdH2296 up your loinsH4975, and 3takeH3947 thisH2088 flaskH6378 of oilH8081 in your handH3027 and goH1980 to 4Ramoth-gileadH7433. 2When you arriveH935 thereH8033, 5searchH7200 out 6JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and goH935 in and 78bid him ariseH6965 from amongH8432 his brothersH251, and bringH935 him to an innerH2315 roomH2315. 3Then takeH3947 the flaskH6378 of oilH8081 and pourH3332 it on his headH7218 and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “9I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478.”’ Then openH6605 the doorH1817 and fleeH5127 and do not waitH2442.”
4So 10the youngH5288 manH5288, the servantH5288 of the prophetH5030, wentH1980 to Ramoth-gileadH7433. 5When he cameH935, beholdH2009, the captainsH8269 of the armyH2428 were sittingH3427, and he saidH559, “I have a wordH1697 for you, O captainH8269.” And JehuH3058 saidH559, “11For whichH4310 one of us?” And he saidH559, “For you, O captainH8269.” 6He aroseH6965 and wentH935 into the houseH1004, and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218 and saidH559 to him, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘12I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, even overH413 IsraelH3478.
