* And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets , and said to him , Gird up thy loins , and take this vial of oil in thy hand , and go to Ramoth-Gilead . * And when thou art come thither , look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat , son of Nimshi , and go in , and make him rise up from among his brethren , and bring him to an inner chamber ; * then take the vial of oil , and pour it on his head and say , Thus saith Jehovah : I have anointed thee king over Israel ; and open the door , and flee , and tarry not . * And the young man , the young prophet , went to Ramoth-Gilead . * And when he came , behold , the captains of the host were sitting . And he said , I have an errand to thee , captain . And Jehu said , To which of all of us ? And he said , To thee , captain . * And he rose up and went into the house ; and he poured the oil on his head , and said to him , Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel : I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah , over Israel . * And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master ; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets , and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel . * And the whole house of Ahab shall perish , and I will cut off from Ahab every male , and him that is shut up and left in Israel . * And I will make the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah . * And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel , and none shall bury her . And he opened the door and fled . * And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord . And one said to him , Is all well ? why came this madman to thee ? And he said to them , Ye know the man , and his mind . * And they said , It is false ! tell us now . And he said , Thus and thus spoke he to me saying , Thus saith Jehovah : I have anointed thee king over Israel . * Then they hasted and took every man his garment , and put it under him on the very stairs , and blew with trumpets , and said , Jehu is king !
