And when they were come, he looked on Eliab and said, "The LORD's anointed is before him." But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his fashion nor on the height of his stature, for I have refused him. Because it is not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance: but the LORD beholdeth the heart." Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen this." Then Jesse made Shammah come, and he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen him." Then made Jesse seven of his sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said, "The LORD hath chosen none of these."

And take the box of oil and pour it on his head and say, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: I have anointed thee to be king over Israel.' And then open the door and flee, and tarry not." read more.
And the servant of the prophet got him to Ramoth in Gilead, and when he came, the captains of the Host were sitting together. And he said, "I have an errand to thee, Sir captain." And Jehu said, "Unto which of all of us?" And he said, "To thee O captain." And he arose and went into the house. And the other poured the oil on his head and said to him, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'I have anointed thee to be king over Israel the people of the LORD, that thou slay the household of Ahab thy master. For I,' sayeth the LORD, 'will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, of the hand of Jezebel - for the whole house of Ahab shall be destroyed; and I will destroy unto Ahab what pisseth against the wall, and so much as the prisoned or that which is forsaken in Israel, and will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. And as for Jezebel, the dogs shall eat her in the field of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.'" And he opened the door and fled. And when Jehu was come out to the servants of his lord, they said to him, "Is all peace? Wherefore came this mad fellow unto thee?" And he said to them, "Ye know the person and his communication." And they said, "It is not so. But tell us a fellowship." And he said, "Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: I have anointed thee to be king over Israel.'" And they hasted and took every man his mantle and put under him, on a high bench at the top of the steps, and blew a trumpet and said, "Jehu is king."

And Jehoram had been waiting at Ramoth Gilead, and all Israel with him for fear of Hazael king of Syria; and was returned to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds which the Syrians had given him as he fought with Hazael king of Syria. Then said Jehu, "If it be your minds, then let no man escape out of the city, to go and tell in Jezreel." And Jehu rode and went to Jezreel: for Jehoram lay there, and Ahaziah king of Judah was come to Jehoram. And the watchmen that stood on the tower in Jezreel spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." And Jehoram said, "Take a horseman and send against them, and let him ask whether it be peace." And there went one on horseback against him and said, "Thus sayeth the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu answered, "What hast thou to do with peace? Turn, and come after me." And the watchman told, saying, "The messenger came to them but he cometh not again." Then he sent out another on horseback, which came to them and said, "Thus sayeth the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu answered, "What hast thou to do with peace? Turn, and come after me." And the watchman told, saying, "He came to them, but he cometh not again, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he driveth as he were mad." Then said Jehoram, "Make ready." And they made ready his chariot. And Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of Judah, went out either in his chariot against Jehu, and met him in the furlong of Naboth the Jezreelite. And when Jehoram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace Jehu?" And he said, "What peace should there be, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so great?" And Jehoram turned his hand and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, Ahaziah!" And Jehu took a bow in his hand and smote Jehoram between the shoulders, that the arrow came out at his breast. And he fell down three fold in his chariot. Then he said to Bidkar, a lord of his, "Take and cast him in the plot of ground of Naboth the Jezreelite. For I remember as I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, how the LORD spake these words against him: 'I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and of his sons,' said the LORD, 'and I will quite him in this ground,' sayeth the LORD. Now therefore take him and cast him in the plot of ground according to the word of the LORD."

And the priest gave to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that were king David's and had remained in the temple.

And he began to reign the seventh year of Jehu, and reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. And he did that pleased the LORD, as long as Jehoiada the Priest informed him. But they took not away the hill altars, for the people slew and offered still in the hill altars. And Jehoash said to the priest, "All the silver that is dedicated and brought to the house of the LORD in current money - that is to say, the money that every man is set at, with all the money that every man's heart giveth him to bring into the house of the LORD - let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance, and let them repair the broken places of the temple in all the places where ought is found decayed." Neverthelater, the priests had not mended unto the twenty third year of Jehoash, that was decayed in the temple. Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests also, and said to them, "Why repair ye not the broken places of the temple? Now therefore see ye receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it to repair the temple withal." And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people: But that it should go to the mending of the temple. Then Jehoiada the priest took a coffer and bored a hole in the lid of it, and put it beside the altar on the right side as a man cometh in to the house of the LORD. And into that did the priests that kept the doors, put all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD. And when they saw that there was much money in the coffer, the king's scribe and the high priest came, and knit up the money that was found in the house of the LORD, after they had told it. And they gave the money by sums into the hands of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they brought it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of the LORD, and to masons and hewers of stone, to buy timber and free stone, to repair the decay in the house of the LORD; and all that, that needeth repairing in the house. Howbeit there was not made in the house of the LORD, bowls of silver, shredding knives, basins, trumpets or any other instruments of gold or silver, of the money that was brought for the house of the LORD. For they gave that to the workmen, to repair therewith the house of the LORD. Moreover, they reckoned not with the men, into whose hands they delivered that money to be bestowed on workmen: But they did it even of fidelity. Howbeit, trespass money and sin money might not be brought into the house of the LORD, for it was the priests'. Then came Hazael king of Syria, and fought against Gath and took it, and appointed himself to go up to Jerusalem.

The remnant of the acts of Jehoash and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

Jozacar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him that he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
