2 Kings 9:11-13
New King James Version
11 Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did (A)this madman come to you?”
And he said to them, “You know the man and his babble.”
12 And they said, “A lie! Tell us now.”
So he said, “Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I have anointed you king over Israel.” ’ ”
13 Then each man hastened (B)to take his garment and put it [a]under him on the top of the steps; and they blew trumpets, saying, “Jehu is king!”
