SCRIPTURE

"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 us all? And he said, To thee, O captain." — 2 Kings 9:5 (ASV)

And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were
sitting
Either at a table, being at dinner, or at a council of war:

and he said, I have an errand to you, O captain ;
looking and directing his speech to Jehu; or, "I have a word to you" F12 ; something to say to you, intimating that he desired to speak to him alone:

and Jehu said, to which of all of us ?
not perhaps at first thoroughly understanding who he meant; or however was willing to have it repeated and explained, that it might be manifest to the whole company that he was intended:

and he said, to you, O captain ;
and to him only.
