2 Kings 9:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Each of them quickly took his cloak and put it under him upon the stairs. They blew the trumpets and proclaimed, “Jehu is king!”^[a]

¹⁴ The Murder of Joram. So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, plotted against Joram.

Joram and all of Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael, the king of Aram, ¹⁵ but Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had received from the Arameans when he fought against Hazael, the king of Aram. Jehu said, “If this is what you want, then prevent anyone from leaving the city and going to Jezreel to report it.”
