Contextual Overview
1 Elisha the prophet summoned one of the guild prophets and said to him, "Prepare for traveling, take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramot-Gil‘ad. 2 When you get there, look for Yehu the son of Y'hoshafat, the son of Nimshi. Enter, have him step away from his companions, and take him to an inside room. 3 Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and say, ‘This is what Adonai says: "I have anointed you king over Isra'el."' After that, open the door; and get away from there as fast as you can." 4 So the young prophet left for Ramot-Gil‘ad. 5 When he arrived, he found the senior army officers sitting there. He said, "I have a message for you, commander." Yehu asked, "For which one of us?" "For you, commander," he said. 6 Yehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil on his head and said to him, "This is what Adonai the God of Isra'el says: ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Adonai , over Isra'el. 7 You will attack the house of Ach'av your master, so that I can avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and of all the servants of Adonai , blood shed by Izevel. 8 The entire house of Ach'av will perish; I will cut off from Ach'av every male, whether a slave or free in Isra'el. 9 I will make the house of Ach'av like the house of Yarov‘am the son of N'vat and like the house of Ba‘sha the son of Achiyah. 10 Moreover, the dogs will eat Izevel in the dumping-ground of Yizre‘el, and there will be no one to bury her.'" Then he opened the door and fled.
Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 9:4. The young man the prophet — This should be translated, The servant of the prophet; that is, the servant which Elisha now had in place of Gehazi.
