Contextual Overview

1 And Elisa the prophete called one of the childre of the prophetes, and sayd vnto him: Gyrde vp thy loynes, and take this boxe of oyle in thyne hand, & get thee to Ramoth [in] Gilead. 2 And when thou commest thyther, loke wher is Iehu the sonne of Iehosaphat the sonne of Nimsi, and go to him, and make him arise vp from among his brethren, & cary him to a secrete chamber. 3 Then take the boxe of oyle, and powre it on his head, and say, thus saith the Lord, I haue annoynted thee to be king ouer Israel: And then open the doore, and flee, without any tarying. 4 And so the seruaunt of the prophete gat him to Ramoth Gilead: 5 And when he came in, beholde, the captaynes of the hoast were sitting together: And he sayde, I haue an errand to thee, O captayne. 6 And Iehu sayd: Unto whiche of al vs? He sayd: To thee, O captayne. And he arose, and went into the house, and he powred the oyle on his head, and sayde vnto him: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I haue annoynted thee to be king ouer the people of the Lorde, euen ouer Israel. 7 Thou shalt smyte the house of Ahab thy maister, that I may auenge the blood of my seruauntes the prophetes, & the blood of all the seruauntes of the Lord, of the hande of Iezabel: 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall be destroyed, and I will destroy from Ahab [euen] hym that maketh water against the wal, and him that is prysoned and forsaken in Israel: 9 And I wil make the house of Ahab, like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the sonne of Ahia. 10 And as for Iezabel, the dogges shall eate her in the fielde of Iezrahel, and there shalbe none to burie her. And he opened the doore, and fled.

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.
