2 Reis 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:3

Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head
When in the chamber together alone:

and say, thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel;
which was done, not with the anointing oil in the temple, which could not be come by; and with which, as Kimchi from their Rabbins says, only the kings of the house of David were anointed, and they only when there was a division, or the crown was translated to another family, as was the case now; but with common oil, or the oil of balsam, such as the prophet had in his house:

then open the door and flee, and tarry not;
lest he should be examined by the captains, and come into danger; though before he went out he was to say what is recorded in ( 2 Kings 9:7-10 ) .

2 Reis 9:3 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!
