2 Kings 9 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 Meanwhile, Elisha the prophet had summoned a member of the group of prophets. “Get ready to travel,”[a] he told him, “and take this flask of olive oil with you. Go to Ramoth-gilead, 2 and find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Call him into a private room away from his friends, 3 and pour the oil over his head. Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you to be the king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run for your life!”
4 So the young prophet did as he was told and went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he arrived there, he found Jehu sitting around with the other army officers. “I have a message for you, Commander,” he said.
“For which one of us?” Jehu asked.
“For you, Commander,” he replied.
6 So Jehu left the others and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the oil over Jehu’s head and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anoint you king over the Lord’s people, Israel. 7 You are to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. In this way, I will avenge the murder of my prophets and all the Lord’s servants who were killed by Jezebel. 8 The entire family of Ahab must be wiped out. I will destroy every one of his male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel. 9 I will destroy the family of Ahab as I destroyed the families of Jeroboam son of Nebat and of Baasha son of Ahijah. 10 Dogs will eat Ahab’s wife Jezebel at the plot of land in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Jehu went back to his fellow officers, and one of them asked him, “What did that madman want? Is everything all right?”
“You know how a man like that babbles on,” Jehu replied.
12 “You’re hiding something,” they said. “Tell us.”
So Jehu told them, “He said to me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have anointed you to be king over Israel.’”
13 Then they quickly spread out their cloaks on the bare steps and blew the ram’s horn, shouting, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah
14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, led a conspiracy against King Joram. (Now Joram had been with the army at Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against the forces of King Hazael of Aram. 15 But King Joram[b] was wounded in the fighting and returned to Jezreel to recover from his wounds.) So Jehu told the men with him, “If you want me to be king, don’t let anyone leave town and go to Jezreel to report what we have done.”
16 Then Jehu got into a chariot and rode to Jezreel to find King Joram, who was lying there wounded. King Ahaziah of Judah was there, too, for he had gone to visit him. 17 The watchman on the tower of Jezreel saw Jehu and his company approaching, so he shouted to Joram, “I see a company of troops coming!”
“Send out a rider to ask if they are coming in peace,” King Joram ordered.
18 So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said, “The king wants to know if you are coming in peace.”
Jehu replied, “What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman called out to the king, “The messenger has met them, but he’s not returning.”
Shabbat Shalom🙏
Shalom, Paul.
Got rid of my makeup and Yah has blessed me so much. I no longer need all that junk to feel good about myself. Yeshua has set me free!
Brother Paul…we can take up a collection so you can vary your highlighter colors….:) Question: In referring to the scripture portion about Jezebel painting on her “fake-up”, what if a female doesn’t paint up her face at all except for a covering up a few scars (from chicken pox as a child)… is that still the Jezebel spirit brother Paul? I don’t feel like it is because it keeps strange people from asking “what happened to you” often if they are covered up. People can be unkind as well. What are your thoughts brother Paul on scar cover-up? See everyone tonight at Shabbat chat. Shalom
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter helps scars lessen in appearance. Continued use causes healing. I’ve done this personally on keloid scars. Also recommended to a young lady who’s face had been streaked by a bullet during a driveby shooting. I gave her some of the soap&lotion. Saw her 2.5mos later. She overjoyed w/results. Plus it smells wonderful. Blessings
Thank you much… they aren’t that bad and just a few but are visible without concealer and people get curious. Tried many natural products over the years including aloe vera gel, coconut palm, cocoa butter, honey comb products, hyssop soaks, cucumber gel, etc. etc. etc. :/ I have decided it’s a way I am bear humility due me somehow. It’s just superficial. It doesn’t bother me until someone points it out to me. 🙂 Blessings!
Shabbat Shalom all! Always a great reading, see you guys later tonight 🤗
Shalom Brother Paul. As you read the part about Jezebel’s hands&feet, it reminded me of 1Sam 5 where the dagon idol lost its head and palms of its hands. HalleluYAH!!!
Shalom Paul, you know I love you, and thank you so much for these teachings! I appreciate you! I do wear eye make-up (being a redhead I need it!) but rest assured I will rethink that choice IF The Holy Spirit convicts me. Don’t think Jezebel’s heart motives and the heart motives of GOD’S Own children who wear make-up can be conclusively linked by this single passage. If I had your dark eyes, no problem! YAH BLESS YOU!
Shalom Shalom
Thank you brother Paul 😊
