Jehu, a military commander, was chosen to bring judgment on the house of Ahab, fulfilling the prophecy against Ahab's lineage due to their idolatry and wickedness (<a href="/1_kings/21-21.htm">1 Kings 21:21-24</a>). The anointing of Jehu signifies a divine mandate, emphasizing that kingship in Israel was not merely a political position but a role under God's authority. Jehu's reign would later be marked by his zeal in eradicating Baal worship, aligning with God's desire to purify Israel from idolatry (<a href="/2_kings/10-28.htm">2 Kings 10:28-31</a>).<p><b>and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet</b><br>Elisha's calling as a prophet underscores the continuity of God's work through His chosen servants. Abel-meholah, located in the Jordan Valley, was a fertile region, indicating Elisha's background in agriculture before his prophetic ministry. This transition from farmer to prophet illustrates God's ability to call individuals from diverse backgrounds for His purposes. Elisha's ministry would be characterized by numerous miracles, paralleling and even surpassing those of Elijah, his predecessor. This succession plan ensures the ongoing prophetic voice in Israel, crucial for guiding the nation back to covenant faithfulness. Elisha's role as a type of Christ is seen in his miracles of provision, healing, and resurrection, prefiguring the greater works of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elijah.htm">Elijah</a></b><br>A major prophet in Israel, known for his confrontation with the prophets of Baal and his deep relationship with God.

This apparently imperfect correspondence of the event to the charge, is a strong indication of the historical character of the narrative.<p>The history, indeed, records no actual anointing of Elisha; and it is remarkable that in no other place is any such anointing of a prophet referred to, unless <a href="/psalms/105-15.htm" title="Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.">Psalm 105:15</a> be an exception. The anointing, signifying the gift of grace, was first instituted for the priests (<a href="/exodus/40-15.htm" title="And you shall anoint them, as you did anoint their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.">Exodus 40:15</a>; <a href="/numbers/3-3.htm" title="These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.">Numbers 3:3</a>); next it was extended to the royal office, and became, in common parlance, especially attached to it. The prophetic office, as the third great representative of the power of Jehovah, might well be hallowed by the same ordinance, especially as the prophets dispensed it to the kings; but, whether the prophets were always consecrated with the sacred oil, or whether, as in the Prophet of prophets, the "anointing with the Holy Ghost and with power" sometimes superseded the outward sign, we do not know.
