2 Kings 9:1-3

New King James Version

Jehu Anointed King of Israel

9 And Elisha the prophet called one of ^(A)the sons of the prophets, and said to him, ^(B)“Get^[a] yourself ready, take this flask of oil in your hand, ^(C)and go to Ramoth Gilead. ² Now when you arrive at that place, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among ^(D)his associates, and take him to an inner room. ³ Then ^(E)take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I have anointed you king over Israel.” ’ Then open the door and flee, and do not delay.”
