2 Kings 9:4

2 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 ^ahis associates, and take him to an inner room.

3 Then ^atake 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.”

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.
