2 Reyes 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:4

3 Toma entonces el frasco, derrama el aceite sobre su cabeza y declárale: “Así dice el SEÑOR: ‘Ahora te unjo como rey de Israel’”. Luego abre la puerta y huye; ¡no te detengas!»
4 Acto seguido, el joven profeta se fue a Ramot de Galaad.
5 Cuando llegó, encontró reunidos a los capitanes del ejército y les dijo:—Tengo un mensaje para el capitán.—¿Para cuál de todos nosotros? —preguntó Jehú.—Para usted, mi capitán —respondió.
6 Jehú se levantó y entró en la casa. Entonces el profeta lo ungió con el aceite y declaró:«Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: “Ahora te unjo como rey sobre mi pueblo Israel.
