2 Kings 9:1-10

1Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of 1the sons of the prophets and said to him, “23Get ready and 4take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to 5Ramoth-gilead. 2When you arrive there, then look there for 6Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and 7have him get up 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, ‘This is what the Lord says: “8I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee, and do not wait.”

4So 9the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5When he arrived, behold, the commanders of the army were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, commander.” And Jehu said, “10For which one of us?” And he said, “For you, commander.” 6He then got up and went into the house, and the prophet’s servant poured the oil on his head and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘11I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. 7And you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, 12so that I may avenge 13the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, 14at the hand of Jezebel. 8For the entire house of Ahab shall perish, and 15I will eliminate from Ahab 16every male person 17both 18slave 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 will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
