Melachim Bais 9:4-12 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. So the na'ar, even the na'ar hanavi, went to Ramot Gil`ad.

5. And when he came, hinei, the sarim of the army were sitting; he said, I have a davar for thee, O sar. And Yehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O sar.

6. And he arose, and went into the bais; and he poured the shemen on his rosh, and said unto him, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, I have anointed thee Melech over Am Hashem, even over Yisroel.

7. And thou shalt strike down the Bais Ach'av adoneicha, that I may avenge the dahm of My avadim the Nevi'im, and the dahm of kol avdei Hashem, shed by Izevel.

8. For the kol Bais Ach'av shall perish: and I will cut off from Ach'av mashtin b'kir (him that urinates against the wall, i.e., all males), and him that is atzur (bond) or azuv (free) in Yisroel:

9. And I will make the Bais Ach'av like the Bais Yarov`am Ben Nevat, and like the Bais Ba'asha Ben Achiyah:

10. And the kelavim shall devour Izevel in the chelek Yizre'el, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the delet and fled.

11. Then Yehu came forth to the avadim adonav: and one said unto him, Is all shalom (well)? Why came this meshuga (crazy fellow) to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the ish and his babble.

12. And they said, It is sheker; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, Thus saith Hashem, Meshachticha (I anoint thee) Melech over Yisroel.
