Jehoshaphat said, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> speaks through him.&#8221;<n id="1" /> So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to visit him.p>

They said to him, &#8220;Look, there are fifty capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.&#8221; But Elisha<n id="2" /> replied, &#8220;Don&#8217;t send them out.&#8221;

Elisha said to her, &#8220;What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?&#8221; She answered, &#8220;Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">When Elisha the prophet<n id="1" /> heard that the king had torn his clothes, he sent this message to the king, &#8220;Why did you tear your clothes? Send him<n id="2" /> to me so he may know there is a prophet in Israel.&#8221;

But King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians<n id="1" /> when he fought against King Hazael of Syria.<n id="2" /> Jehu told his supporters,<n id="3" /> &#8220;If you really want me to be king,<n id="4" /> then don&#8217;t let anyone escape from the city to go and warn Jezreel.&#8221;

Then Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rekab went to the temple of Baal. Jehu<n id="1" /> said to the servants of Baal, &#8220;Make sure there are no servants of the <sc>Lordsc> here with you; there must be only servants of Baal.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">When he left there, he met<n id="1" /> Jehonadab, son of Rekab, who had been looking for him.<n id="2" /> Jehu greeted him and asked,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Are you as committed to me as I am to you?&#8221;<n id="4" /> Jehonadab answered, &#8220;I am!&#8221; Jehu replied, &#8220;If so, give me your hand.&#8221;<n id="5" /> So he offered his hand and Jehu<n id="6" /> pulled him up into the chariot.
