Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ So Jehu got up and went into the house. The young prophet poured the oil on his head and said, ‘This is what the Lord God of Israel says: “I anoint you king over the Lord’s people, Israel. ⁷ You are to strike down the house of your master Ahab so that I may avenge the blood shed by the hand of Jezebel – the blood of my servants the prophets and of all the servants of the Lord.^{(A) 8} The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will wipe out all of Ahab’s males,^[a] both slave and free,^[b] in Israel.^(B)
