2 Re 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.

3 Poi prendi l’ampolla d’olio, versagliela sul capo, e digli: Così dice l’Eterno: Io ti ungo re d’Israele. Poi apri la porta, e fuggi senza indugiare".
4 Così quel giovine, il servo del profeta, partì per Ramoth di Galaad.
5 E, come vi fu giunto, ecco che i capitani dell’esercito stavan seduti assieme; e disse: "Capitano, ho da dirti una parola". Jehu chiese: "A chi di tutti noi?" Quegli rispose: "A te, capitano".
6 Jehu si alzò, ed entrò in casa; e il giovane gli versò l’olio sul capo, dicendogli: "Così dice l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele: Io ti ungo re del popolo dell’Eterno, re d’Israele.
