Elisha Tells a Prophet to Anoint Jehu

9 Elisha the prophet called one of the men from the group of prophets^[a] and said to him, “Get ready and take this small bottle of oil in your hand. Go to Ramoth Gilead. ² When you arrive, find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Then go in and make him get up from among his brothers. Take him to an inner room. ³ Take the small bottle of oil and pour the oil on Jehu’s head. Say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have anointed you to be the new king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run away. Don’t wait!”
