Contextual Overview

1 At the same time, Elisha the prophet called a man from the groups of prophets. Elisha said, "Get ready, and take this small bottle of olive oil in your hand. Go to Ramoth in Gilead. 2 When you arrive, find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in and make Jehu get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room. 3 Then take the bottle and pour the oil on Jehu's head and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have appointed you king over Israel.' Then open the door and run away. Don't wait!" 4 So the young man, the prophet, went to Ramoth in Gilead. 5 When he arrived, he saw the officers of the army sitting together. He said, "Commander, I have a message for you." Jehu asked, "For which one of us?" The young man said, "For you, commander." 6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the olive oil on Jehu's head and said to him, "This is what the Lord , the God of Israel says: ‘I have appointed you king over the Lord 's people Israel. 7 You must destroy the family of Ahab your master. I will punish Jezebel for the deaths of my servants the prophets and for all the Lord 's servants who were murdered. 8 All of Ahab's family must die. I will not let any male child in Ahab's family live in Israel, whether slave or free. 9 I will make Ahab's family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the family of Baasha son of Ahijah. 10 The dogs will eat Jezebel at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.'" Then the young prophet opened the door and ran away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets,.... Who the Jews generally say k was Jonah the son of Amittai:

and said, gird up thy loins; his loose and long garments about his loins, for quicker dispatch in travelling:

and take this box of oil in thine hand; for an use after directed to:

and go to Ramothgilead; where Joram had left his army with his captains, to keep the city from the Syrians.

k Seder Olam Rabba, c. 18. p. 47.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Box - Rather, “flask,” or “vial” 1 Samuel 10:1. Oil and ointment were commonly kept in open-mouthed jars, vases, or bottles made of glass, alabaster, or earthen-ware. Many such vessels have been found both in Egypt and Assyria. The “oil” was the holy oil, compounded after the receipt given in Exodus Exodus 30:23-25.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

Elisha sends one of the disciples of the prophets to

Ramoth-gilead, to anoint Jehu king of Israel, 1-3.

He acts according to his orders, and informs Jehu that he is

to cut off the whole house of Ahab, 4-10.

Jehu's captains proclaim him king, 11-14.

He goes again Jezreel; where he finds Joram and Ahaziah king

of Judah, who had come to visit him; he slays them both: the

former is thrown into the portion of Naboth; the latter,

having received a mortal wound, gives to Megiddo, and dies

there, and is carried to Jerusalem, and buried in the city

of David, 15-29.

He commands Jezebel to be thrown out of her window; and he

treads her under the feet of his horses; and the dogs eat

her, according to the word of the Lord, 30-37.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse 2 Kings 9:1. One of the children of the prophets — The Jews say that this was Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai.
