2 Kings 9:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ As Jehu was coming out to his master’s attendants, one of them asked him, “Is everything all right? Why did this maniac visit you?”

“You know the man and how he speculates,” Jehu replied.

¹² “That’s a lie!” they said. “Tell us what’s going on!”

“He said ‘This and that’ to me,” he responded. “‘This is what the Lord says: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’”

¹³ At this, each man quickly grabbed his own garment, placed it under him at the top of the stairs,^[a] sounded a trumpet, and announced, “Jehu is king!”
