Commentary on 2 Kings 9:6

Theological / Devotional

Of Israel. God still acknowledged the nation of Israel as His, and as its rightful Ruler He now selected its new king.

Anointed thee king. This was a definite commission by God. The time had come for a new king, who would put an end to the evils of the dynasty of Omri. It was an hour of opportunity as well as responsibility for the man who would now take the crown in Israel.
