Living Bible

¹² “No, we don’t,” they said. “Tell us.”

So he told them what the man had said and that he had been anointed king of Israel!

¹³ They quickly carpeted the bare steps with their coats and blew a trumpet, shouting, “Jehu is king!”

¹⁴ That is how Jehu (son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi) rebelled against King Joram. (King Joram had been with the army at Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against the forces of King Hazael of Syria.
