2 Kings 9:2-14

2When you arriveH935 thereH8033, 1searchH7200 out 2JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and goH935 in and 34bid 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, “5I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478.”’ Then openH6605 the doorH1817 and fleeH5127 and do not waitH2442.”

4So 6the 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, “7For 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, ‘8I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, even overH413 IsraelH3478. 7You shall strikeH5221 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 your masterH113, 9that I may avengeH5358 10the bloodH1818 of My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of allH3605 the servantsH5650 of the LordH3068, 11at the handH3027 of JezebelH348. 8For the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6, and 12I will cutH3772 offH3772 from AhabH256 13everyH8366 maleH8366H7023 person 14both bondH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478. 915I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and 16like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281. 1017The dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 in the territoryH2506 of JezreelH3157, and noneH369 shall buryH6912 her.’” Then he openedH6605 the doorH1817 and fledH5127.

11Now JehuH3058 cameH3318 out to the servantsH5650 of his masterH113, and one saidH559 to him, “18Is all wellH7965? WhyH4069 did thisH2088 19madH7696 fellowH7696 comeH935 to you?” And he saidH559 to them, “You knowH3045 very well the manH376 and his talkH7879.” 12They saidH559, “It is a lieH8267, tellH5046 us nowH4994.” And he saidH559, “ThusH2088 and thusH2088 he saidH559 to me, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 IsraelH3478.”’” 13Then 20they hurriedH4116 and eachH376 manH376 tookH3947 his garmentH899 and placedH7760 it underH8478 him on the bareH1634 stepsH4609, and 21blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, sayingH559, “JehuH3058 is kingH4427!”

14So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 againstH413 JoramH3141. 22Now JoramH3141 23with allH3605 IsraelH3478 was 24defendingH8104 Ramoth-gileadH7433 againstH4480H6440 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758,
