2 Kings 9:4-13

4So 1the 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, “2For 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: ‘3I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. 7And you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, 4so that I may avenge 5the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, 6at the hand of Jezebel. 8For the entire house of Ahab shall perish, and 7I will eliminate from Ahab 8every male person 9both 10slave and free in Israel. 911I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and 12like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 1013The dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.

11Now Jehu went out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “14Is everything well? Why did this 15crazy 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 16they hurried, and each man took his garment and put it under him on the bare steps, and 17blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king!”
