Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 10:18-28

Jehu’s purge of Baalism 10:18-28This purge evidently took place in Samaria (1 Kings 16:32). Jehu’s true religious preferences had not yet become known publicly. The various Hebrew words translated "pillar" in 2 Kings 10:26-27 indicate that Jehu desecrated two or more kinds of objects, probably flammable wooden and non-flammable stone idols. Jehu also converted the temple of Baal into a public latrine, the greatest possible insult to Baal, the god of fertility. His act made Baal’s temple an... read more

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

FRESH MURDERS-THE EXTIRPATION OF BAALWORSHIP2 Kings 10:12-28B.C. 842"Jehu, sur les hauts lieux, enfin osant offrir Un temeraire encens que Dieu ne peut souffrir, N’a pour servir sa cause et venger ses injures Ni le coeur assez droit, ni les mains assez pures."- RACINEAFTER such abject subservience had been shown him by the lords of Samaria and Jezreel, Jehu evidently had no further shadow of apprehension. He seems to have loved blood for its own sake-to have been seized by a vertigo of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 10:1-36

AHAB'S SONS KILLED (vv.1-11) Ahab had 70 sons in Samaria and Jehu was purposed to put them to death also. He chose the method of demanding by letter that the rulers and elders of Israel should choose one of Ahab's son as king to fight against Jehu (vv.1-3). The rulers were terrified by this proposal, for they knew Jehu would easily defeat them. They decided therefore to be the servants of Jehu and sent word to him that they would not make anyone king, but would submit to his authority... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:1-28

THE OVER - ZEALOUS JEHU PRELIMINARY EVENTS (2 Kings 8:25-29 ) The last lesson should have spoken of the chronological difficulties in the history of the kings of this period. (Compare especially 8:16 with 1:17.) But all our space will permit is to say that all such difficulties are satisfactorily solved, without doing violence to the text, in “The Romance of Chronology,” by Anstey; who in turn quotes Dr. John Lightfoot, of the seventeenth Century, Beecher’s Dated Events of the Old... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 10:1-36

2 Kings 10:0 1. And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to [nourishers] them that brought up Ahab's children, saying, 2. Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city [fenced cities. There is a tone of mocking irony in Jehu's challenge to the nobles of Samaria, who were probably as luxurious and cowardly as in the... read more
