2 Re 9:2

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.

2 Re 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 Re 9:2 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.
