2 Kings 9:2-14

2And when thou comestH935 there, findH7200 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, and go inH935, and make him arise upH6965 from amongH8432 his brethrenH251, and takeH935 him to an innerH2315 chamberH2315;1 3Then takeH3947 the boxH6378 of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it on his headH7218, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. Then openH6605 the doorH1817, and fleeH5127, and tarryH2442 not. 4So the young manH5288, even the young manH5288 the prophetH5030, wentH3212 to RamothgileadH7433H1568. 5And when he cameH935, behold, the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 were sittingH3427; and he saidH559, I have an errandH1697 to thee, O captainH8269. And JehuH3058 saidH559, To which of us all? And he saidH559, To thee, O captainH8269. 6And he aroseH6965, and wentH935 into the houseH1004; and he pouredH3332 the oilH8081 on his headH7218, and saidH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, even over IsraelH3478. 7And thou shalt smiteH5221 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 thy masterH113, that I may avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, and the bloodH1818 of all the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, at the handH3027 of JezebelH348. 8For the whole houseH1004 of AhabH256 shall perishH6: and I will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 the malesH8366H7023, both boundH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478: 9And I will makeH5414 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281: 10And the dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, and there shall be none to buryH6912 her . And he openedH6605 the doorH1817, and fledH5127.

11Then JehuH3058 came forthH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and one saidH559 to him, Is all wellH7965? Why cameH935 this madH7696 fellow to thee? And he saidH559 to them, Ye knowH3045 the manH376, and his communicationH7879. 12And they saidH559, It is falseH8267; tellH5046 us now. And he saidH559, Thus and thus he spokeH559 to me, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 13Then they hastedH4116, and tookH3947 every manH376 his garmentH899, and putH7760 it under him on the topH1634 of the stairsH4609, and blewH8628 with trumpetsH7782, sayingH559, JehuH3058 is kingH4427.2 14So JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 conspiredH7194 against JoramH3141. (Now JoramH3141 had keptH8104 RamothgileadH7433H1568, he and all IsraelH3478, becauseH6440 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758.
