2 Kings 9:5-7
New English Translation

5 When he arrived, the officers of the army were sitting there.[a] So he said, “I have a message for you, O officer.”[b] Jehu asked, “For which one of us?”[c] He replied, “For you, O officer.” 6 So Jehu[d] got up and went inside. Then the prophet[e] poured the olive oil on his head and said to him, “This is what the Lord God of Israel has said, ‘I have designated you as king over the Lord’s people Israel. 7 You will destroy the family of your master Ahab.[f] I will get revenge against Jezebel for the shed blood of my servants the prophets and for the shed blood of all the Lord’s servants.[g]
