Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:1
THE BLOODY END OF OMRI'S DYNASTY"This narrative comes from the school of the prophets; and it is an objective and highly dramatic political history, with which criticism can find little fault."[1] This is in line with what this writer believes to be true regarding the entire group of historical books. No "Deuteronomist" had anything to do with any of them. As Josephus declared, "Only the prophets have written the original and earliest accounts."[2]The bloody violence of this chapter, in the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 9:1
2 Kings 9:1. Elisha—called one of the children of the prophets— Some of the Jewish doctors have been of opinion, that this messenger was the prophet Jonah, who, upon this supposition, must have been a very young man, because Jeroboam the second, in whose reign Jonah prophesied, did not ascend the throne till about fifty years after this appointment of Jehu to the kingdom of Israel. However this be, it is reasonable to think that Elisha did not go himself to perform this office, either because... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 9:3
2 Kings 9:3. I have anointed thee king over Israel— According to the Jews, none of the kings of Israel were anointed but those of the house of David, and these only when there was a question about their succession; as Solomon, they say, needed not to have been anointed, had it not been for the faction of Adonijah. But in the case of Jehu, in whom the succession of the kingdom of Israel was to be translated out of the right line of the family of Ahab, into another family which had no right to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 9:1-13
God’s preparation of Jehu 9:1-13God had told Elijah that he would anoint Jehu (1 Kings 19:16). [Note: For more information on anointing with oil (2 Kings 9:3; 2 Kings 9:6), see my note on 1 Samuel 16:13.] He did this through his successor Elisha who accomplished it by using one of his protégés (2 Kings 9:1). Jehu would wipe out Omri’s dynasty in Israel (2 Kings 9:7-10). Jehu’s father was a different Jehoshaphat from Judah’s king of the same name (2 Kings 9:2). Elijah had prophesied the end of... read more
