4 So the young prophet did as he was told and went to Ramoth-gilead.
5 When he arrived there, he found Jehu sitting around with the other army officers. “I have a message for you, Commander,” he said.“For which one of us?” Jehu asked.“For you, Commander,” he replied.
6 So Jehu left the others and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the oil over Jehu’s head and said, “This is what the lord, the God of Israel, says: I anoint you king over the lord’s people, Israel.
7 You are to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. In this way, I will avenge the murder of my prophets and all the lord’s servants who were killed by Jezebel.
8 The entire family of Ahab must be wiped out. I will destroy every one of his male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel.
9 I will destroy the family of Ahab as I destroyed the families of Jeroboam son of Nebat and of Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 Dogs will eat Ahab’s wife Jezebel at the plot of land in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
