2 Kings 9:4-13

4So 1the youngH5288 manH5288, the servantH5288 of the prophetH5030, wentH1980 to Ramoth-gileadH7433. 5When he arrivedH935, beholdH2009, the commandersH8269 of the armyH2428 were sittingH3427, and he saidH559, “I have a wordH1697 for you, commanderH8269.” And JehuH3058 saidH559, “2For whichH4310 one of us?” And he saidH559, “For you, commanderH8269.” 6He then gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH935 into the houseH1004, and the prophet’s servant pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218 and saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘3I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, overH413 IsraelH3478. 7And you shall strikeH5221 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 your masterH113, 4so that I may avengeH5358 5the bloodH1818 of My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of allH3605 the servantsH5650 of the LordH3068, 6at the handH3027 of JezebelH348. 8For the entireH3605 houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6, and 7I will eliminateH3772 from AhabH256 8everyH8366 maleH8366H7023 person 9both 10slaveH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478. 911I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and 12like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281. 1013The dogsH3611 will eatH398 JezebelH348 in the territoryH2506 of JezreelH3157, and noH369 oneH369 will buryH6912 her.’” Then he openedH6605 the doorH1817 and fledH5127.

11Now JehuH3058 wentH3318 outH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his masterH113, and one saidH559 to him, “14Is everythingH7965 wellH7965? WhyH4069 did thisH2088 15crazyH7696 fellowH7696 comeH935 to you?” And he saidH559 to them, “You knowH3045 very well the manH376 and his talkH7879.” 12And they saidH559, “It is a lieH8267; tellH5046 us nowH4994.” And he saidH559, “SuchH2088 and suchH2088 he saidH559 to me, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “I have anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH413 IsraelH3478.”’” 13Then 16they hurriedH4116, and eachH376 manH376 tookH3947 his garmentH899 and putH7760 it underH8478 him on the bareH1634 stepsH4609, and 17blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, sayingH559, “JehuH3058 isH4427 kingH4427!”
