9:1 Now Elisha the prophet summoned a member of the prophetic guild 1 and told him, “Tuck your robes into your belt, take this container 2 of olive oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. 9:2 When you arrive there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi and take him aside into an inner room. 3 9:3 Take the container of olive oil, pour it over his head, and say, ‘This is what the Lord says, “I have designated 4 you as king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and run away quickly!” 5
9:11 When Jehu rejoined 6 his master’s servants, they 7 asked him, “Is everything all right? 8 Why did this madman visit you?” He replied, “Ah, it’s not important. You know what kind of man he is and the kinds of things he says.” 9
