1 Kings 19:16 Meaning and Commentary

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).

1 Kings 19:16 In-Context

15 Then Yahweh said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. Go and anoint Hazael as king over Aram;

16 and Jehu son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel. You shall also anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-Meholah as prophet in your place.

17 It shall be that the [one] who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
