2 Kings 9:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Jehu went out to his master’s officers. They said to him, “Is everything okay? Why did this fanatic come to you?”

Jehu said to them, “You know the man and the nonsense he talks.”

¹² “That’s a lie!” they said. “Come on, tell us!”

Jehu replied, “This is what he said to me: ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king of Israel.’”

¹³ Then each man quickly took his cloak and put it beneath Jehu on the paved steps.^[a] They blew a trumpet and said, “Jehu has become king!”
