2 Kings 9:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 Each man quickly took his cloak. Then they placed them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and said, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Seizes the Throne
14 Then Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram and all Israel had been guarding Ramoth Gilead against Hazael king of Aram. 15 But King Joram[a] returned to Jezre’el to recover from the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought against Hazael king of Aram.
Then Jehu said, “If you really want me to be king, don’t let any survivors get out of the city to go and report in Jezre’el.”
