Day 116: 2 Kings 8-9, April 25th, 2023

Jehu anointed King of Israel by a fast young prophet

2 Kings 9:1 Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak under your belt, take this flask of oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 2 When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room. 3 Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”
