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 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" l; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The chief officers - the generals - were assembled together in Jehuâs quarters, perhaps holding a council of war. The place of assembly seems to have been the great court. Hence, Jehu âwent into the houseâ 2 Kings 9:6 entered, that is, one of the rooms opening into the court.
