2 Rois 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:4

So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to
Ramothgilead.
] It is repeated, that it might be observed that it was a young man that went, who was more fit for this service than Elisha, partly because of his age, and partly because he would be less known; as also his age is remarked, this being a bold and daring action in a young man to anoint a new king, as well as it was honourable; and moreover, he was not only one of the sons of the prophets, but was a prophet himself, though young, and still a more fit person for such a service; though the Targum is, a young man, a disciple of the prophets.

2 Rois 9:4 In-Context

2 Quand tu y seras arrivé, vois Jéhu, fils de Josaphat, fils de Nimschi. Tu iras le faire lever du milieu de ses frères, et tu le conduiras dans une chambre retirée.
3 Tu prendras la fiole d'huile, que tu répandras sur sa tête, et tu diras: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Je t'oins roi d'Israël! Puis tu ouvriras la porte, et tu t'enfuiras sans t'arrêter.
4 Le jeune homme, serviteur du prophète, partit pour Ramoth en Galaad.
5 Quand il arriva, voici, les chefs de l'armée étaient assis. Il dit: Chef, j'ai un mot à te dire. Et Jéhu dit: Auquel de nous tous? Il répondit: A toi, chef.
6 Jéhu se leva et entra dans la maison, et le jeune homme répandit l'huile sur sa tête, en lui disant: Ainsi parle l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël: Je t'oins roi d'Israël, du peuple de l'Eternel.
