2 Kings 9:1–10

^*And Elisha the prophet called one of ^athe children of the prophets, and said unto him, ^bGird up thy loins, and take this ^cbox of oil in thine hand, and go to ^dRamoth-gilead: ²And when thou comest thither, look out there ^eJehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among ^fhis brethren, and carry him to an ^†inner chamber; ³Then take the ^cbox of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not. ⁴So the young man, even the young man ^athe prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. ⁵And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. ⁶And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. ⁷And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, ^gat the hand of Jezebel. ⁸For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and ^hI will cut off from Ahab ⁱhim that pisseth against the wall, and ^khim that is shut up and left in Israel: ⁹And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of ^lJeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of ^mBaasha the son of Ahijah: ¹⁰ⁿAnd the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of ^oJezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
