And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Elisha sends one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as king over Israel. The mission is intended to execute the judgment announced against Ahab’s house through a new dynasty. The young prophet must act quickly and flee after delivering the message. Jehu’s anointing does not automatically make all his later actions morally exemplary; within the narrative, it specifically establishes his role in judgment against a royal house that had promoted idolatry and violence. The prophetic word again intervenes directly in political succession.

Und da er hineinkam, siehe, da saßen die Hauptleute des Heeres. Und er sprach: Ich habe dir, Hauptmann, was zu sagen. Jehu sprach: Welchem unter uns allen? Er sprach: Dir, Hauptmann.
Y como él entró, he aquí los príncipes del ejército que estaban sentados. Y él dijo: Príncipe, una palabra tengo que decirte. Y Jehú dijo: ¿A cuál de todos nosotros? Y él dijo: A ti, príncipe.
Al entrar, encontró sentados a los jefes del ejército y dijo: «Tengo un mensaje para ti, comandante». Jehú preguntó: «¿Para cuál de nosotros?». Él respondió: «Para ti, comandante».
Quand il arriva, voici, les chefs de l'armée étaient assis. Il dit: Chef, j'ai un mot à te dire. Et Jéhu dit: Auquel de nous tous? Il répondit: A toi, chef.
E come egli vi fu giunto, ecco, i capitani dell’esercito sedevano insieme. Ed egli disse: Io ho alcuna cosa a dirti, o capitano. E Iehu gli disse: A cui di tutti non parli tu? Ed egli disse: E te, o capitano.
E, entrando ele, eis que os capitães do exército estavam assentados ali; e disse: Capitão, tenho uma palavra que te dizer. E disse Jeú: A qual de todos nós? E disse: A ti, capitão!
他到了那裏,看哪,眾軍官都坐著,就說:「長官,我有話對你說。」 耶戶 說:「你要對我們哪一個說呢?」他說:「長官,我要對你說。」
