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.
10 aThe 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.
11 Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did athis madman come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man and his babble.”
12 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.” ’ ”
13 Then each man hastened ato take his garment and put it1 under him on the top of the steps; and they blew trumpets, saying, “Jehu is king!”
