2 Kings 9:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Jehu went back to his master’s officers. One of them said to Jehu, “Is everything all right? Why did this crazy man come to you?”

Jehu answered, “You know the man and how he talks.”

¹² They answered, “That’s not true! Tell us.”

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

¹³ Then the officers hurried. Each man took off his own coat. They put them on the stairs for Jehu. Then they blew the trumpet. They said, “Jehu is king!”
