John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Kings 19:16
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king
over
Israel
This was a son of Jehoshaphat, and a grandson of Nimshi; nor does
he appear to have been anointed by Elijah, but by Elisha; and
being done by his order and direction was the same as if it was
done by himself, unless he was twice anointed, see ( 2 Kings
9:1-3 )
and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou
anoint to be
prophet in thy room;
which was in the half tribe of Manasseh, on this side Jordan;
(See Gill on Judges
7:22).
