And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Elisha sends one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as king over Israel. The mission is intended to execute the judgment announced against Ahab’s house through a new dynasty. The young prophet must act quickly and flee after delivering the message. Jehu’s anointing does not automatically make all his later actions morally exemplary; within the narrative, it specifically establishes his role in judgment against a royal house that had promoted idolatry and violence. The prophetic word again intervenes directly in political succession.

Herirás a la casa de Acab, tu señor, y yo vengaré en Jezabel la sangre de mis siervos los profetas y la sangre de todos los siervos de Jehová.
Tu frapperas la maison d'Achab, ton maître, et je vengerai sur Jézabel le sang de mes serviteurs les prophètes et le sang de tous les serviteurs de l'Eternel.
E tu percoterai la casa di Achab, tuo signore; ed io farò sopra Izebel la vendetta del sangue de’ profeti, miei servitori, e del sangue di tutti i servitori del Signore.
E ferirás a casa de Acabe, teu senhor, para que eu vingue o sangue de meus servos, os profetas, e o sangue de todos os servos do SENHOR, da mão de Jezabel.
