2 Kings 9:8 In-Context

6 Jehu got up and went into the house. The prophet poured olive oil on his head and told him, "This is what the LORD God of Israel says: I have anointed you king of the LORD's people, [king] of Israel.
7 You will destroy the family of your master Ahab. I will get revenge on Jezebel for shedding the blood of my servants the prophets and all the LORD's [other] servants.
8 Ahab's entire family will die. I will destroy every male from Ahab's family, whether slave or freeman in Israel.
9 I will make Ahab's family like the family of Jeroboam (Nebat's son) and like the family of Baasha, son of Ahijah.
10 Dogs will eat Jezebel inside the walls of Jezreel, and no one will bury her." Then he opened the door and left.
