4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
5 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.”
6 Then he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, a“Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
7 You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may aavenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, bat the hand of Jezebel.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and aI will cut off from Ahab all bthe males in Israel, both cbond and free.
9 So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of aJeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of bBaasha the son of Ahijah.
