2 Kings 9:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³ Then in haste every man of them took his garment, and put it under him on the bare^[a] steps, and they blew the trumpet, and proclaimed, “Jehu is king.”

Joram of Israel Killed

¹⁴ Thus Jehu the son of Jehosh′aphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram with all Israel had been on guard at Ramoth-gilead against Haz′ael king of Syria; ¹⁵ but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Haz′ael king of Syria.) So Jehu said, “If this is your mind, then let no one slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.”
