2 Kings 9

Elisha sends a son of the prophets to Ramoth-gilead to anoint Jehu king and commission him against Ahab’s house. Jehu’s officers quickly proclaim him king. He drives to Jezreel, kills Joram of Israel, and has his body cast into Naboth’s field in explicit connection with earlier prophecy. Ahaziah of Judah is pursued and mortally wounded. Jezebel confronts Jehu from a window, but palace eunuchs throw her down, and dogs consume most of her body, fulfilling Elijah’s word.
