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.
l דבר לי אליך "verbum mihi ad te", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The chief officers - the generals - were assembled together in Jehu’s quarters, perhaps holding a council of war. The place of assembly seems to have been the great court. Hence, Jehu “went into the house” 2 Kings 9:6 entered, that is, one of the rooms opening into the court.
