1. And Elishah HaNavi summoned one of the Bnei HaNevi'im, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this jar of shemen in thine yad, and go to Ramot Gil`ad:
2. And when thou comest there, look there for Yehu Ben Yehoshaphat Ben Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his achim, and take him to a cheder becheder (an inner room);
3. Then take the jar of shemen, and pour it on his rosh, and say, Thus saith Hashem, Meshachticha (I anoint thee) Melech over Yisroel. Then open the delet, flee; tarry not.
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:
