2 Kings 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:5

And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were
sitting
Either at a table, being at dinner, or at a council of war:

and he said, I have an errand unto thee, O captain;
looking and directing his speech to Jehu; or, "I have a word to thee" ^F12; something to say to thee, intimating that he desired to speak to him alone:

and Jehu said, unto which of all us?
not perhaps at first thoroughly understanding who he meant; or however was willing to have it repeated and explained, that it might be manifest to the whole company that he was intended:

and he said, to thee, O captain;
and to him only.
