2 Kings 9:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 Then Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets and told him, “Hike up your garments for travel,[a] and take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramoth Gilead. 2 When you get there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in and have him excuse himself from his associates[b] and bring him into an inner room. 3 Take the flask of oil, pour it out on his head, and say, ‘This is what the Lord says. I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and flee. Do not delay!”
