4 So the young man, the prophet, went to Ramoth in Gilead.
5 When he arrived, he saw the officers of the army sitting together. He said, “Commander, I have a message for you.”Jehu asked, “For which one of us?”The young man said, “For you, commander.”
6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the olive oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘I have appointed you king over the Lord’s people Israel.
7 You must destroy the family of Ahab your master. I will punish Jezebel for the deaths of my servants the prophets and for all the Lord’s servants who were murdered.
8 All of Ahab’s family must die. I will not let any male child in Ahab’s family live in Israel, whether slave or free.
9 I will make Ahab’s family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the family of Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 The dogs will eat Jezebel at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’ ”Then the young prophet opened the door and ran away.
