2 Kings 9:1–37

The writer summarizes Jehu's takeover, which started Israel's fourth dynasty, in four steps:

1. Elisha sent a prophet to the army camp at Ramoth-gilead to anoint Jehu as Israel's next king (2 Kings 9:1–10).

2. Jehu's soldiers learned about the prophet's visit and declared Jehu king (2 Kings 9:11–15).

3. Both Joram and King Ahaziah of Judah were killed (2 Kings 9:16–29).

4. Jezebel was killed (2 Kings 9:30–37).
