1 Now the prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him: 'Gird your waist, and take this little bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
2 And when you arrive in that place, you will see Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. And upon entering, you shall raise him up from the midst of his brothers, and you shall lead him into an inner room.
3 And taking the little bottle of oil, you shall pour it upon his head, and you shall say: 'Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.' And you shall open the door and flee. And you shall not remain in that place.'
4 Therefore, the young man, a servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Gilead.
