1 Now Elisha the prophet called one of ^athe sons of the prophets and said to him, ^b“Gird up your loins, and ^ctake this flask of oil in your hand and go to ^dRamoth-gilead. 2 “When you arrive there, ^{▼▼ Lit and look there for}search out ^fJehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and ^{▼▼ Lit cause him to
,} ^hbid him arise from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room. 3 “Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says the Lord, ⁱ“I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee and do not wait.”

4 So ^jthe young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, O captain.” And Jehu said, ^{▼▼ Lit To whom of us all?}“For which one of us?” And he said, “For you, O captain.” 6 He arose and went into the house, and he poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘ ^lI have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. 7 ‘You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, ^mthat I may avenge ⁿthe blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, ^oat the hand of Jezebel. 8 ‘For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and ^pI will cut off from Ahab ^qevery male person ^rboth bond and free in Israel. 9 ‘ ^sI will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and ^tlike the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 ‘ ^uThe dogs shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
