4. So the young man, a young prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
5. Now when he arrived, behold, the army commanders were sitting. So he said, “I have a word for you, commander.” Jehu asked, “For which one of us?” He replied, “For you, commander.”
6. Then he rose and went inside the house, and the prophet poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says Adonai, God of Israel: I have anointed you king over the people of Adonai, over Israel.
7. So you will strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Adonai shed by Jezebel.
8. For the whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, slave or free, in Israel.
9. I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa son of Ahijah.
