2 Kings 9:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ When Jehu went back to his ·master’s [lord’s] officers, one of them said to Jehu, “Is everything all right? Why did this ·crazy man [madman] come to you?”

Jehu answered, “You know ·the [that kind of] man and how he ·talks [babbles].”

¹² They answered, “·That’s not true [Liar]. Tell us.”

Jehu said, “He said to me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have ·appointed [anointed] you to be king over Israel.’”

¹³ Then the officers hurried, and each man took off his own coat and put it on the stairs for Jehu [^Csignifying submission]. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
