So Jehu got up and went into the house The phrase begins with Jehu's immediate response to the prophet's call. Jehu's action of getting up signifies readiness and obedience, a theme prevalent in the lives of those chosen by God. The Hebrew root for "got up" (קוּם, qum) often implies rising to a significant occasion or task. Jehu's entrance into the house marks a transition from his previous role to the divine appointment awaiting him. Historically, this setting underscores the private and solemn nature of prophetic anointing, away from public eyes, emphasizing God's sovereign choice. and the prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel Into the house.--The council of war was sitting in the court. I have anointed thee.--The commission to Elijah (1Kings 19:16) was thus fulfilled by his successor. Over the people of the Lord.--Israel being Jehovah's people, Jehovah was Israel's true king, and therefore it was within His sovereign right to appoint whom He would as His earthly representative. Reuss asserts that this account of the anointing of Jehu, like that of the anointing of Hazael (2Kings 8:13), is substituted in the present narration for what another document related of Elijah. This is pure conjecture. It is easier to suppose that Elijah had instructed his successor to carry out the commission intrusted to himself, although the narrative nowhere says so. He goes on to remark that there is no need to try to clear Elisha of the charge of being a revolutionary and a regicide, for that the new dynasty would make use of his name by way of legitimising itself, exactly as the houses of Kish and of Jesse made use of that of the prophet Samuel. This is being considerably wiser than our only authorities. Verse 6. - And he (Jehu) arose, and went into the house. Jehu left his seat, rose up, and led the way, from the court, where he had probably been sitting with the other generals, into the house which adjoined the court. The messenger followed; and the two were together, alone. And he - i.e. the messenger - poured the oil on his head - as directed (ver. 3) - and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; literally, Thus saith Jehovah, God of Israel. Jehovah's name is emphatically put forward, in contrast with the name of Baal, as that of the true God of Israel; and appeal is made to Jehu, as to one whose God is Jehovah, and who will accept as authoritative a message emanating from him. I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel; literally, over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. Practically, the people is, in the main, "the people of Baal" (2 Kings 10:19-21), but theoretically and by covenant it is "the people of Jehovah" - his "peculiar people" (Deuteronomy 14:2), chosen by him out of all the nations of the earth to be his own.Parallel Commentaries ...
