2 Kings 9:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jehu Anointed as Israel’s King

9 The prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets^(A) and said, “Tuck your mantle^(B) under your belt, take this flask of oil^(C) with you, and go to Ramoth-gilead.^{(D) 2} When you get there, look for Jehu^(E) son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his colleagues, and take him to an inner room. ³ Then, take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “I anoint you king over Israel.”’^(F) Open the door and escape. Don’t wait.”
