Commentators explain that the 'anointed ones' and 'prophets' in this verse refer to the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God considered them 'anointed' as progenitors of kings and 'prophets' because He spoke through them (Genesis 20:7). The command recalls God's specific protection over them during their wanderings among foreign kings.
