*
And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets ,
and said to him , "
Get yourself ready ,
take this flask of oil in your hand ,
and go to Ramoth Gilead .
*
Now when you arrive at that place ,
look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat ,
the son of Nimshi ,
and go in and make him rise up from among his associates ,
and take him to an inner room .
*
Then take the flask of oil ,
and pour it on his head ,
and say , "
Thus says the LORD : "
I have anointed you king over Israel ."'
Then open the door and flee ,
and do not delay ."
*
So the young man ,
the servant of the prophet ,
went to Ramoth Gilead .
*
And when he arrived ,
there were the captains of the army sitting ;
and he said , "
I have a message for you ,
Commander ."
Jehu said , "
For which one of us ?"
And he said , "
For you ,
Commander ."
*
Then he arose and went into the house .
And he poured the oil on his head ,
and said to him , "
Thus says the LORD God of Israel : "
I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD ,
over Israel .
*
You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master ,
that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets ,
and the blood of all the servants of the LORD ,
at the hand of Jezebel .
*
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish ;
and I will cut off from Ahab all the males in Israel ,
both bond and free .
*
So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah .
*
The dogs shall eat Jezebel on the plot of ground at Jezreel ,
and there shall be none to bury her ."'
And he opened the door and fled .
*
Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master ,
and one said to him , "
Is all well ?
Why did this madman come to you ?"
And he said to them , "
You know the man and his babble ."
*
And they said , "
A lie !
Tell us now ."
So he said , "
Thus and thus he spoke to me ,
saying , "
Thus says the LORD : "
I have anointed you king over Israel .""'
*
Then each man hastened to take his garment and put it under him on the top of the steps ;
and they blew trumpets ,
saying , "
Jehu is king !"
