2 Kings 9:2-4
New English Translation

2 When you arrive there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi and take him aside into an inner room.[a] 3 Take the container of olive oil, pour it over his head, and say, ‘This is what the Lord has said, “I have designated[b] you as king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and run away quickly!”[c]

4 So the young prophet[d] went to Ramoth Gilead.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 9:2 tn Heb “and go and set him apart from his brothers and bring him into an inner room in an inner room.”
  2. 2 Kings 9:3 tn Heb “anointed.”
  3. 2 Kings 9:3 tn Heb “and open the door and run away and do not delay.”
  4. 2 Kings 9:4 tc Heb “the young man, the young man, the prophet.” The MT is probably dittographic, the phrase “the young man” being accidentally repeated. The phrases “the young man” and “the prophet” are appositional, with the latter qualifying more specifically the former.
