Then take the flask of oil
In ancient Israel, anointing with oil was a significant ritual symbolizing the consecration and empowerment of individuals for a specific role or task. The use of a flask indicates a deliberate and prepared act, emphasizing the importance of the mission. Anointing with oil is a recurring biblical theme, seen in the anointing of priests (Exodus 30:30) and kings (1 Samuel 16:13).

pour it on his head
The act of pouring oil on the head signifies the transfer of God's Spirit and authority. This physical act represents a spiritual reality, marking the individual as chosen by God. In the case of Jehu, it signifies his divine appointment as king, similar to the anointing of David by Samuel.

and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says:
The phrase underscores the prophetic nature of the act. The anointing is not merely a human decision but a divine mandate. Prophets often prefaced their messages with "This is what the LORD says," affirming that they spoke with God's authority (e.g.,Jeremiah 1:4).

I anoint you king over Israel.’
This declaration fulfills God's promise and judgment against the house of Ahab, as prophesied by Elijah (1 Kings 21:21-24). Jehu's anointing is a pivotal moment in Israel's history, marking a shift in leadership and the execution of divine justice.

Then open the door and run.
The instruction to open the door and run indicates the urgency and potential danger of the mission. Anointing a new king could incite political unrest or retaliation from the current regime. The prophet's quick departure ensures his safety and underscores the clandestine nature of the act.

Do not delay!”
The command to not delay highlights the immediacy and importance of the task. It reflects the urgency of God's plan and the need for swift obedience. This mirrors other biblical instances where prompt action is required to fulfill God's purposes (e.g.,Genesis 19:15-17).

5.Anointing with Oil

Teaching Points
God's Sovereignty in Leadership
God chooses leaders according to His purposes, often in unexpected ways. Trust in His divine plan even when it seems unconventional.

The Role of Obedience
The young prophet's obedience to Elisha's instructions highlights the importance of following God's commands promptly and faithfully.

Symbolism of Anointing
Anointing with oil signifies God's empowerment and setting apart for a specific purpose. Reflect on how God has anointed each believer for His service.

Urgency in God's Commands
The instruction to "run" and "not delay" emphasizes the urgency and importance of God's mission. Consider the urgency in fulfilling God's call in your life.

Prophetic Fulfillment
The anointing of Jehu fulfills earlier prophecies, showing that God's word is reliable and will come to pass. Trust in the fulfillment of God's promises.

What Does 2 Kings 9:3 Mean
Then take the flask of oil

• Elisha’s servant is commanded to act exactly as instructed, showing how God values precise obedience (cf.Exodus 30:25;1 Samuel 15:22).

• The single, specific “flask” underscores that the anointing is a unique, divinely appointed moment rather than a humanly planned coronation (cf.1 Kings 19:16, where God had already named Jehu).

• Oil in Scripture often represents the Spirit’s empowerment; God is about to equip Jehu for a task of national judgment (cf.Isaiah 61:1;Acts 10:38).

pour it on his head

• In Israel, anointing the head publicly marked God’s choice of a leader (cf.1 Samuel 16:13;Psalm 133:2).

• The gesture sets Jehu apart for service and signals a transfer of authority from the corrupt house of Ahab to a new dynasty (cf.2 Kings 9:6).

• By pouring rather than merely dabbing, the prophet visually proclaims abundant enablement and irrevocable appointment.

and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’

• The spoken word confirms the symbolic act; power comes from the Lord’s decree, not the oil itself (cf.Isaiah 55:11;Daniel 2:21).

• “I anoint you” echoes earlier royal installations—Saul in1 Samuel 10:1 and David in2 Samuel 2:4—linking Jehu to the continuous thread of God-ordained leadership despite Israel’s rebellion.

• The announcement carries both privilege and responsibility: Jehu must execute God’s judgment against Ahab’s house (cf.1 Kings 21:21-24;2 Kings 9:7-10).

Then open the door and run.

• Prophets often faced danger after delivering hard messages; leaving quickly protected both messenger and mission (cf.1 Kings 18:12-13;Jeremiah 26:21-24).

• The abrupt exit forces Jehu and his companions to process the divine word without distraction, highlighting its authority.

• The scene pictures God’s word as an unstoppable force that needs no human defense—once spoken, it accomplishes its purpose (cf.Hebrews 4:12).

Do not delay!

• Immediate obedience is vital; any hesitation could compromise the mission or invite retaliation (cf.Psalm 119:60;Mark 1:18).

• The urgency reminds readers that when God speaks, the right response is swift action, trusting His timing and protection (cf.Luke 1:39;Acts 9:20).

summary

2 Kings 9:3 records God’s precise, urgent instructions for the anointing of Jehu. Each phrase highlights divine sovereignty, prophetic obedience, and the power of God’s word to raise leaders and bring judgment. The oil marks Jehu as God’s chosen instrument; the spoken declaration bestows authority; the command to flee underscores both the seriousness of the message and the need for swift, unquestioning compliance. Together they reveal a God who acts decisively in history, expects immediate obedience, and faithfully fulfills His promises to judge sin and preserve His purposes for Israel.

(3)Then.--And (both times).

Thus saith the Lord . . . over Israel.--Only the chief part of the message to Jehu is here given, to avoid publicity. (Seeinfra,2Kings 9:6-9.)

Over Israel.--Literally,unto Israel, both here and in2Kings 9:12. But a great number of MSS., and all the versions in both places, readover Israel.

Tarry not.--So as to avoid all questioning, and to give greater force to the act.

Verse 3. -Then take - rather,and take -the box of oil - rather,the flask of oil -and pour it on his head. Compare the consecration of Aaron to the high-priestly (Leviticus 8:12), and of Saul (1 Samuel 10:1) and David (1 Samuel 16:12) to the kingly office. The oil used was the holy anointing oil of the sanctuary (Exodus 30:25) -τὸ ἅγιον ἔλαιον, as Josephus says.And say, Thus faith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. This is an abbreviated form of the actual message, which is given in its entirety in vers. 7-10. The writer of Kings avoids all needless repetitions.Then open the door - the conference was to be with closed doors, that no one might either hear or see what took place -and flee, and tarry not. The Divine message delivered, all would have been done that needed to be done. There would be nothing to wait for. So the young man was to depart with the same haste with which he had come.
