2 Reyes 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 Reyes 9:2 In-Context

1 Jehú es ungido rey de Israel
Mientras tanto, el profeta Eliseo mandó llamar a un miembro del grupo de profetas. «Prepárate para viajar
—le dijo—, y llévate este frasco de aceite de oliva. Ve a Ramot de Galaad,

2 y busca a Jehú, hijo de Josafat, hijo de Nimsi. Llévalo a un cuarto privado, lejos de sus amigos,

3 y derrama el aceite sobre su cabeza. Dile: “Esto dice el Señor
: ‘Yo te unjo para que seas rey de Israel’”. Luego abre la puerta ¡y corre por tu vida!».

4 Entonces el joven profeta hizo lo que se le indicó y fue a Ramot de Galaad.

5 Cuando llegó, encontró a Jehú sentado junto con otros oficiales del ejército.
—Tengo un mensaje para usted, comandante —le dijo.
—¿Para quién de nosotros? —preguntó Jehú.
—Para usted, comandante —le contestó.
