2 Kings 9:11-15

11Now Jehu went out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “1Is everything well? Why did this 2crazy fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know very well the man and his talk.” 12And they said, “It is a lie; tell us now.” And he said, “Such and such he said to me, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’” 13Then 3they hurried, and each man took his garment and put it under him on the bare steps, and 4blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king!”

14So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. 5Now Joram 6with all Israel was 7defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram, 15but 8King 9Joram had returned to Jezreel to have himself healed of the wounds which the Arameans had 10inflicted on him when he fought Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said to the other men, “If this is your 11intent, then let no 12one escape from the city to go tell about it in Jezreel.”
