BRAGADAYJAH 1086
Jehu anointed King in Ramoth-gilead
After the young man had fled, Jehu came out of the house and he was
asked by the men gathered around if all was well, and what the mad looking
young man wanted; to which he replied and said that they knew the man and his
communications. And they asked him if what the young man told him was true of
false; and he told them what the young man had said to him including the
revelation that he was anointed king over Israel. Then the men who were with him
stripped off their garments and laid hem on the stairway and blew the trumpets
proclaiming Jehu as king. So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi
conspired against Joram, whose territory extended into Ramoth-gilead because of
Hazael king of Syria. By this time King Joram was healed of his wounds and was
in Jezreel; so Jehu told his men to make sure that none should escape out of
Ramoth-gilead to carry news to Jezreel to inform Joram that Jehu had been
anointed king. So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel where Joram was;
and there to see Joram also was Ahaziah king of Judah. And as Jehu was
approaching, the watchman saw him and reported it to Joram; and Joram
instructed that a horseman should go out to meet him and ask him whether he
came in peace.
