The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 9:1-37

2 Kings 9:0 1. And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box [phial] of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead: 2. And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in [ into Jehu's house] and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him [literally, cause him to enter. The object was secresy] to an inner chamber [Heb., chamber in a chamber]. 3. Then... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 9:7-10

In the commission which Elisha had intrusted this servant among the prophets with, no doubt more was intimated to him than is related in the chapter, from the addition he made in this command, how Jehu should act in the destruction of the house of Ahab. Reader! remark in it, how sure God's judgments are. As an apostle hath said most assuredly will it be found, that the judgment of the unregenerate lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2 Peter 2:3 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-10

1-10 In these and the like events, we must acknowledge the secret working of God, disposing men to fulfil his purposes respecting them. Jehu was anointed king over Israel, by the Lord's special choice. The Lord still had a remnant of his people, and would yet preserve his worship among them. Of this Jehu was reminded. He was commanded to destroy the house of Ahab, and, as far as he acted in obedience to God, and upon right principles, he needed not to regard reproach or opposition. The murder... read more

The Announcement of Jehu's Elevation v. 1. And Elisha, the prophet, called one of the children of the prophets, a disciple at one of the prophet schools, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, in preparing for a speedy journey afoot, and take this box, a small receptacle like a jug, of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead, in the country east of Jordan: v. 2. and when thou comest thither, look out there, pick out by looking him up, Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and... read more

the Avenger of Blood Anointed 2 Kings 9:1-13 Youth is always being called upon to gird up its loins, and dare to fulfill its commissions without fear of man. We are not to tarry to hear what men say of us. The King’s business requires haste. Do your work and flee, before the world can scare you by its threats or cajole you by its blandishments. You have one Master, one errand: do it, and get back into His presence! God has His appointed instruments to carry out His plans, 1 Kings 19:17 . The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-37

The hour had come to carry out the sentence of God on the house of Ahab. The prophet sent one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu. This Jehu, as his history reveals, was a fitting instrument for swift and relentless judgment. He was a furious driver, which was symbolic of his character. He halted at nothing, but swept like a whirlwind from point to point until the things he desired were accomplished. This is startlingly manifest in this chapter. On tde way, having been anointed... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-37

2 Kings 9:1 to 2 Kings 10:31 . The Revolution and Overthrow of the Baal Worship.— This spirited narrative is probably derived from the same source as 1 Kings 20, 22; and, if we strike out the short Deuteronomic portion ( 2 Kings 9:7-2 Samuel :), we cannot fail to notice the detachment of the writer, who neither condemns nor approves, but merely relates the tragedy. Hosea ( Hosea 1:4), a little more than a century later, evidently condemns the whole transaction, and traces the fall of Jehu’ s... read more

THE FALL OF THE OMRIAN DYNASTYCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 9:1. Elisha called one of the children of the prophets—A prophet-disciple, occupying towards Elisha the same relation he himself once stood in towards Elijah. The rabbis suggest it was Jonah. This anointing of Jehu was a further heritage of duty bequeathed by Elijah to Elisha (comp. 1 Kings 19:17; see Notes on 2 Kings 8:7). Box of oil—Flask or vial, פַּךְ from פָכָה to trickle down.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-37

Chapter nine.Elisha is an extremely colorful character. And we are coming towards the end of the career of Elisha, a prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel. And Elisha commanded one of the young prophets to go to Jezreel and there to take a cruse of oil and call Jehu, who was a captain of the host of Israel, into another room secretly, and there anoint him with the oil to be king over Israel, and then get out of there as fast as you can. So this young man came to Jezreel where Jehu was... read more
