9 E·liʹsha the prophet then called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him: “Wrap your garments around your waist, and quickly take this flask of oil with you and go to Raʹmoth-gilʹe·ad.+ 2 When you arrive there, look for Jeʹhu+ the son of Je·hoshʹa·phat the son of Nimʹshi; go in and have him get up from among his brothers and take him into the innermost room. 3 Then take the flask of oil and pour it out on his head and say, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “I anoint you as king over Israel.”’+ Then open the door and flee without delay.”

30 When Jeʹhu came to Jezʹre·el,+ Jezʹe·bel+ heard of it. So she painted her eyes with black paint* and adorned her head and looked down through the window. 31 As Jeʹhu came in through the gate, she said: “Did it go well with Zimʹri, the killer of his lord?”+ 32 Looking up to the window, he said: “Who is on my side? Who?”+ Immediately two or three court officials looked down at him. 33 He said: “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her.
