Contextual Overview
1 Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, "Get ready and take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 2 "When you arrive there, then look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and have him get up from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room. 3 "Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head, and say, 'This is what the LORD says: "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door and flee, and do not wait." 4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.5 When he arrived, behold, the commanders of the army were sitting, and he said, "I have a word for you, commander." And Jehu said, "For which one of us?" And he said, "For you, commander." 6 He then got up and went into the house, and the prophet's servant poured the oil on his head and said to him, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: 'I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel. 7 'And you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 8 'For the entire house of Ahab shall perish, and I will eliminate from Ahab every male person both slave and free in Israel. 9 'I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 'The dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and no one will bury her.'" Then he opened the door and fled.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the young man: Hannaâr hannavee, not as some would render, "the servant of the prophet," but, as correctly rendered by our venerable translators, "the young man, the prophet;" for הנער, hannaâr, "the young man," is not in regimine, but in appositione, with הנביא, hannavee, "the prophet." 2 Kings 9:4

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.
