2 KINGS 9:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:”
They came back and told Jehu, and he said: "This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel, and the corpse of Jezebel shall be like dung on the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, "This is Jezebel."'" — Jehu's quotation of Elijah's prophecy affirms that he acts as God's instrument. His revolution is not mere politics but covenant fulfillment.
