2 Reis 9:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:2

And when thou comest thither
To Ramothgilead; but from whence he went is uncertain, doubtless where there was a school of the prophets, perhaps that which was erected near Jordan, on the other side of which lay Ramothgilead, ( 2 Kings 6:1 2 Kings 6:2 ) ,

look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi;
the same that Elijah was ordered to anoint, but it was deferred till now, a reprieve being granted to Ahab upon his humiliation, ( 1 Kings 19:16 ) ( 21:29 ) ,

and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren;
the captains of the army:

and carry him into an inner chamber;
a chamber within a chamber, as in the original; this he was to do for secrecy, that it might not be seen what he did to Jehu; and lest he should be prevented doing it by the captains, or be exposed to danger for doing it; since that might be deemed treason to do what he was to do, and did, as follows.

2 Reis 9:2 In-Context

1 Depois o profeta Eliseu chamou um dos filhos dos profetas, e lhe disse: Cinge os teus lombos, toma na mão este vaso de azeite e vai a Ramote-Gileade;
2 quando lá chegares, procura a Jeú, filho de Jeosafá, filho de Ninsi; entra, faze que ele se levante do meio de seus irmãos, e leva-o para uma câmara interior.
3 Toma, então, o vaso de azeite, derrama-o sobre a sua cabeça, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor: Ungi-te rei sobre Israel. Então abre a porta, foge e não te detenhas.
4 Foi, pois, o jovem profeta, a Ramote-Gileade.
5 E quando chegou, eis que os chefes do exército estavam sentados ali; e ele disse: Chefe, tenho uma palavra para te dizer. E Jeú perguntou: A qual de todos nós? Respondeu ele: A ti, chefe!
