2 Re 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:1

And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the
prophets
Who the Jews generally say F11 was Jonah the son of Amittai:

and said, gird up thy loins;
his loose and long garments about his loins, for quicker dispatch in travelling:

and take this box of oil in thine hand;
for an use after directed to:

and go to Ramothgilead;
where Joram had left his army with his captains, to keep the city from the Syrians.

2 Re 9:1 In-Context

1 ALLORA il profeta Eliseo chiamò uno de’ figliuoli de’ profeti, e gli disse: Cingiti i lombi, e prendi quest’orciuolo d’olio in mano, e vattene in Ramot di Galaad;
2 e quando tu sarai giunto là, riguarda ove sarà Iehu, figliuolo di Giosafat, figliuolo di Nimsi; e va’ a lui, e fallo levar su d’infra i suoi fratelli, e menalo in una camera segreta.
3 Poi prendi l’orciuolo dell’olio, e spandiglielo sopra il capo, e digli: Così ha detto il Signore: Io ti ho unto per re sopra Israele. Poi apri l’uscio, e fuggitene senza indugio.
4 Quel giovane adunque, servitor del profeta, andò in Ramot di Galaad.
5 E come egli vi fu giunto, ecco, i capitani dell’esercito sedevano insieme. Ed egli disse: Io ho alcuna cosa a dirti, o capitano. E Iehu gli disse: A cui di tutti non parli tu? Ed egli disse: E te, o capitano.
