Komentarz do Królów II 9:13
וַֽיְמַהֲר֗וּ וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ בִּגְד֔וֹ וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ תַחְתָּ֖יו אֶל־גֶּ֣רֶם הַֽמַּעֲל֑וֹת וַֽיִּתְקְעוּ֙ בַּשּׁוֹפָ֔ר וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ מָלַ֥ךְ יֵהֽוּא׃
Zabrali tedy pośpiesznie każdy szatę swą i podłożyli je podeń na najwyższym stopniu, a zadąwszy w trąbę zawołali: Panuje Jehu!
