1. Then Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, “Prepare yourself. Take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
2. When you get there, look for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in and make him rise from among his brothers, and bring him into an inner chamber.
3. Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and flee. Do not wait.”
4. So the young man, the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
5. When he arrived, the commanders of the army were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, Commander.”Jehu said, “Which one of us?”And he said, “For you, Commander.”
