Is there not a sweet lesson veiled under this message and commission of the prophet? When the Lord sends his word to any individual, though he be in the midst of many, like Jehu among the captains, yet the call is personal, the grace is distinguishing, and the manifestation of it secret. The Lord spoke a word, it is said, in Samuel's ear. 1 Samuel 9:15. So here, the errand was to Jehu. Reader! be assured that it is a personal enjoyment of God's calls, and his word, which make them precious. The master is come and calleth for thee. John 11:28.

6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
