2 Reis 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:13

Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it
under him on the top of the stairs
That is, under Jehu, that he might be raised higher, and put on an eminence above them, agreeably to the high rank and dignity he was raised unto, and which they hereby acknowledged; and that he might be conspicuous to others: and this was done upon the top of the stairs, the first and highest of them, which led up either to an upper room, or to a scaffold erected for this purpose; the Targum is, on the degree of hours, a sun dial, a stone on which were engraven the twelve hours of the day, and which, by the sun's shadow on it, it might be known what hour it was; and at, or upon this stone, they laid their clothes, for Jehu to sit upon; not their wearing apparel, but carpets, or pieces of tapestry, or such like things: and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king;
and they might come the more easily into such an acknowledgment of him as such, though he was anointed by one whom they had just called a mad fellow; being not so well affected to Ahab's family, and having a great respect for Jehu, the chief commander of the army, and especially being under a particular influence of the divine Providence, which moved them to take such a step.

2 Reis 9:13 In-Context

11 Quando Jeú voltou para junto dos outros oficiais do rei, um deles lhe perguntou: “Está tudo bem? O que esse louco queria com você?”Jeú respondeu: “Vocês conhecem essa gente e sabem as coisas que eles dizem”.

12 Mas insistiram: “Não nos engane! Conte-nos o que ele disse”.Então Jeú contou: “Ele me disse o seguinte: ‘Assim diz o SENHOR: Eu o estou ungindo rei sobre Israel’.”

13 Imediatamente eles pegaram os seus mantos e os estenderam sobre os degraus diante dele. Em seguida tocaram a trombeta e gritaram: “Jeú é rei!”

14 Então Jeú, filho de Josafá e neto de Ninsi, começou uma conspiração contra o rei Jorão, na época em que este defendeu, com todo o Israel, Ramote-Gileade contra Hazael, rei da Síria.

15 O rei Jorão tinha voltado a Jezreel para recuperar-se dos ferimentos sofridos na batalha contra Hazael, rei da Síria. Jeú propôs: “Se vocês me apoiam, não deixem ninguém sair escondido da cidade para nos denunciar em Jezreel”.
