It does not appear that Jehu aimed at the government, or that he ever thought of it, but the commission given him was a perfect surprise to him. There he was fighting for the king his master, but received orders from a higher king to fight against him. We have here the anointing of Jehu to be king, who was, at this time, a commander (probably commander-in-chief) of the forces employed at Ramoth-Gilead. 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel: 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: 10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. 7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the L ORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 6 And he arose, and went into the house and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the L ORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the L ORD, even over Israel. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. 5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. 4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not. 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 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, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber 3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the L ORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 2Ki 9:2 | MHC | STEP | Jehu Anointed King.
