And he that was over the house,.... The king's palace in Samaria, who had the custody, care, and government of it:and he that was over the city; the commander and governor of it, that had the highest post in it under the king;the elders also all other subordinate officers and magistrates:and the bringers up of the children; who had the education of the king's sons committed to them:sent to Jehu, saying, we are thy servants, and will do all that thou shall bid us.
