2 Kings 9:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Jehu Reigns over Israel

9 Now Elisha the prophet called one of ^(A)the sons of the prophets and said to him, “^(B)Gird up your loins, and ^(C)take this flask of oil in your hand and go to ^(D)Ramoth-gilead. ² When you arrive there, ^[a]search out ^(E)Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and ^[b](F)bid him arise from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room. ³ Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says the Lord, “^(G)I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee and do not wait.”
