4 The young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
5 When he arrived there, the army’s generals were sitting together. He said, “I have something to tell you, General.”Jehu asked, “Which one of us?”He answered, “You, General!”
6 Jehu got up and went into the house. The prophet poured olive oil on his head and told him, “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: I have anointed you king of the Lord’s people, ⌊king⌋ of Israel.
7 You will destroy the family of your master Ahab. I will get revenge on Jezbel for shedding the blood of my servants the prophets and all the Lord’s ⌊other⌋ servants.
8 Ahab’s entire family will die. I will destroy every male from Ahab’s family, whether slave or freeman in Israel.
9 I will make Ahab’s family like the family of Jer o boam (Nebat’s son) and like the family of Baasha, son of Ahijah.
