2 Kings 9:6-14

ISV^{(i) 6} So Jehu got up and went inside the house, and the young man told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD—that is, over Israel. ⁷ You are to attack the household of your master Ahab, so I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, as well as the blood of all of the servants of the LORD that has been spilled at Jezebel’s orders. ⁸ The entire household of Ahab will die, and I will cut off from Ahab every male person in Israel, whether imprisoned or surviving. ⁹ I will make the household of Ahab like the household of Nebat’s son Jeroboam and the household of Ahijah’s son Baasha. ¹⁰ Furthermore, the dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel. There will be no burial for her.’” Then he opened the door and left.
¹¹ As Jehu was coming out to his master’s attendants, one of them asked him, “Is everything all right? Why did this maniac visit you?”
“You know the man and how he speculates,” Jehu replied.
¹² “That’s a lie!” they said. “Tell us what’s going on!”
“He said ‘This and that’ to me,” he responded. “‘This is what the LORD says: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’”
¹³ At this, each man quickly grabbed his own garment, placed it under him at the top of the stairs, sounded a trumpet, and announced, “Jehu is king!”
