2 Kings 9:8 In-Context

6 So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.

7 And you are to strike down the house of your master Ahab, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of the LORD shed by the hand of Jezebel.

8 The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.

9 I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.

10 And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
