2 KINGS 9:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.”
Then they quickly took every man his garment and spread it under Jehu on the bare steps; and they blew the trumpet, saying: "Jehu is king!" — the officers' spontaneous recognition and coronation ritual (spreading garments, trumpet blast) affirm their acceptance of Jehu's kingship. The ritual echoes Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15) and establishes dynastic legitimacy through military consensus.
