列王紀下 9:7 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-10

We have here the anointing of Jehu to be king, who was, at this time, a commander (probably commander-in-chief) of the forces employed at Ramoth-Gilead, 2 Kgs. 9:14. There he was fighting for the king his master, but received orders from a higher king to fight against him. It does not appear that Jehu aimed at the government, or that he ever thought of it, but the commission given him was a perfect surprise to him. Some think that he had been anointed before by Elijah, whom God ordered to do... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:7

And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master ,.... For Jehu was one of Ahab's captains, as he was now one of his son's, as appears from 2 Kings 9:25 , but this was to be no objection with him to the destroying of his house, as being an act of high treason, since he had an order for it from the King of kings, and Lord of lords; which otherwise would have seemed unlawful and criminal, and what follows will sufficiently vindicate the justice of God in it: that I may avenge the blood... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:7

Thou shalt smite the house of Ahab - For their most cruel murders they have forfeited their own lives, according to that immutable law, "He that sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." This and the two following verses contain the commission which Jehu received from the Lord against the bloody house of Ahab. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-10

Elisha is still the primary figure in the historical drama; but at this point his personality merges in the general account of the kingdom of Israel, which it is one of the objects of the writer to trace from beginning to end. Elisha here performs his last public act, being commissioned, and carrying out his commission, to transfer the kingdom of Israel from the unworthy dynasty of Omri, which on account of its persistent idolatry has fallen under Divine condemnation, to a new dynasty, that of... read more

The prophet and the prophet-disciple-the duties of direction and of obedience. The time had come for a great change—a "great revolution," to use the words of Ewald. The first dynasty of Israel which had shown any indications of stability was to be swept away, and another still more stable dynasty was to be established. That the will of God might be seen and recognized in the matter, its initiation was entrusted to the regular expounders of the Divine will—the prophets. Elisha, we may be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-14

Jehu made king. The word of the Lord to Elijah, that Jehu should be anointed king ( 1 Kings 19:16 ), was now to be fulfilled. The delay in the fulfillment is perhaps to be attributed to Ahab's repentance ( 1 Kings 21:29 ). God bore long with this wicked house, and did not cut it off till the cup of its iniquity was full. The execution of God's threatenings may be long postponed, but, like his promises, his threatenings never fail in the end to be fulfilled ( 2 Peter 3:9 ). I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-37

The deaths of Jehoram and Jezebel; or, the Divine law of retribution. King Jehoram was lying sick at Jezreel of the wounds he had received in battle from the Syrians. Ahaziah King of Judah had come down to visit him, and, as they conversed together, the watchman upon the city wall brought tidings of an armed company approaching. Jehu, at the head of them, was by-and-by recognized by his furious driving. He had already been proclaimed king in Ramoth-Gilead, but Jehoram knew nothing of this.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 9:7

And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master. This is plainly a command, not a prophecy. Jehu is expressly ordered by God to "smite," i.e. destroy utterly, the whole house of Ahab. This command he carried out ( 2 Kings 9:24 , 2 Kings 9:33 ; 2 Kings 10:1-11 ); and his obedience to it obtained for him the temporal reward that his children to the fourth generation should sit on the throne of Israel ( 2 Kings 10:30 ). Yet still his conduct in destroying the house of Ahab is spoken... read more
