Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 10:11

So Jehu slew - Rather, “And Jehu slew.” The reference is to fresh executions (compare 2 Kings 10:17). He proceeded on his bloody course, not merely destroying the remainder of the kindred of Ahab, but further putting to death all the most powerful of Ahab’s partisans.His priests - Not the Baal priests generally, whose persecution came afterward 2 Kings 10:19, but only such of them as were attached to the court. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 10:11

2 Kings 10:11. So Jehu slew all his great men Whom Ahab had advanced and made great in wealth, or honour and quality; who had been partners with him in his sins, and were likely to avenge Joram’s death. And his priests Who had served him in his idolatrous worship, and confirmed him in it. Or, his chief officers of state, as the word rendered priests sometimes signifies, and is translated: see 2 Samuel 8:18; 1 Chronicles 18:17. Until he left him none remaining To wit, in that place:... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:1-14

Jehu’s revolution (9:11-10:14)On hearing of Jehu’s anointing as king, Jehu’s senior officers swore their immediate allegiance (11-13). Without allowing time for news of the rebellion to leak out, Jehu set off for Jezreel (14-16). As he approached the city, Joram and Ahaziah, unaware of the rebellion, went out to meet him. Joram was killed on the spot, appropriately at Naboth’s vineyard (17-26; cf. 1 Kings 21:17-19). Ahaziah was killed after a chase (27-29). Jehu quickly went on to Jezreel to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 10:1-17

Jehu’s purges of the royal families 10:1-17Jehu challenged the nobles of Samaria and Jezreel who were rearing Ahab’s 70 male descendants to select an heir and to battle Jehu. This would decide whether Ahab’s house or Jehu’s would rule Israel. Rather than fight a battle they were sure they would lose, they submitted to Jehu and slew Ahab’s sons. In the ancient Near East conquering kings sometimes piled the heads of their defeated foes at the city gate to show their power and to discourage future... read more

Jehu’s Extermination of Baal Worship1. Ahab.. sons] These were probably his grandchildren rather than his children. Unto the rulers of Jezreel] LXX has ’unto the rulers of Samaria,’ which the sense requires.2. A fenced city] i.e. Samaria.

A Full House 2 Kings 10:21 Here is a record of a full house. So full it was that, in the original, it is described as a vessel filled to the brim. But what was its moral significance? I. A Full Congregation but no True Worship. If you read the tragical story, you will find that you do it no injustice when you say that two principal motives had filled the house that fateful day: first, the desire to curry favour with the ruling powers, and secondly, the constraint of fashion. II. Quantity but... read more

JEHU ESTABLISHED ON THE THRONE2 Kings 10:1-17B.C. 842-814"The devil can quote Scripture for his purpose."- SHAKESPEARE.BUT the work of Jehu was not yet over. He was established at Jezreel: he was lord of the palace and seraglio of his master: the army of Israel was with him. But who could be sure that no civil war would arise, as between the partisans of Zimri and Omri, as between Omri and Tibni? Ahab, first of the kings of Israel, had left many sons. There were no less than seventy of these... read more
