2 Kings 9:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ When Jehu came out to the servants of his master, they said to him, “Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the fellow and his talk.” ¹² And they said, “That is not true; tell us now.” And he said, “Thus and so he spoke to me, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, I anoint you king over Israel.’” ¹³ Then in haste every man of them took his garment, and put it under him on the bare^[a] steps, and they blew the trumpet, and proclaimed, “Jehu is king.”
