Melachim Bais 9:5

5 And when he came, hinei, the sarim of the army were sitting; he said, I have a davar for thee, O sar. And Yehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O sar.

Melachim Bais 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:5

And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were
sitting
Either at a table, being at dinner, or at a council of war:

and he said, I have an errand unto thee, O captain;
looking and directing his speech to Jehu; or, "I have a word to thee" ^F12; something to say to thee, intimating that he desired to speak to him alone:

and Jehu said, unto which of all us?
not perhaps at first thoroughly understanding who he meant; or however was willing to have it repeated and explained, that it might be manifest to the whole company that he was intended:

and he said, to thee, O captain;
and to him only.

Melachim Bais 9:5 In-Context

3 Then take the jar of shemen, and pour it on his rosh, and say, Thus saith Hashem, Meshachticha (I anoint thee) Melech over Yisroel. Then open the delet, flee; tarry not.

4 So the na’ar, even the na’ar hanavi, went to Ramot Gil‘ad.

5 And when he came, hinei, the sarim of the army were sitting; he said, I have a davar for thee, O sar. And Yehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O sar.

6 And he arose, and went into the bais; and he poured the shemen on his rosh, and said unto him, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, I have anointed thee Melech over Am Hashem, even over Yisroel.

7 And thou shalt strike down the Bais Ach’av adoneicha, that I may avenge the dahm of My avadim the Nevi’im, and the dahm of kol avdei Hashem, shed by Izevel.
