Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 9:30-36

1. Jehu’s evil reign in Israel 9:30-10:36Since the writer did not record Jehu’s coronation, we should probably regard his reign as beginning when Joram died (2 Kings 9:24). Jehu began Israel’s fifth and longest royal dynasty. He and his descendants reigned 88 years (841-753 B.C.). He himself reigned 28 years (841-814 B.C.). His contemporaries in Judah were Queen Athaliah and King Joash."The usual formula to introduce a king is lacking in the case of Jehu because of the unique and violent nature... read more

Jehu’s execution of Jezebel 9:30-37Jezebel evidently painted her eyes and adorned her head (2 Kings 9:30) to receive Jehu. Unwittingly, or perhaps deliberately, [Note: Patterson and Austel, p. 209.] she prepared herself for her own death. At least one interpreter believed she was trying to seduce Jehu. [Note: S. Parker, "Jezebel’s Reception of Jehu," Maarav 1 (1978):67-78.] Her greeting to Jehu may have been a sarcastic, derogatory threat (2 Kings 9:31). [Note: Gray, p. 551.] She asked, "Is it... read more

C. The Second Period of Antagonism 9:30-17:41The kingdoms of Israel and Judah continued without an alliance between them for the rest of the time the Northern Kingdom existed. This period began with Jehu’s accession to the throne of Israel in 841 B.C. and continued until the Assyrian captivity of the Northern Kingdom in 722 B.C. read more

The Character of Jezebel 2 Kings 9:30 Some there are who, having an imperfect knowledge of the true position of woman among the Hebrews, or, placing too much reliance on modern Oriental analogies, have represented her station as that of a low and degraded character. In doing this, they have committed an error, of which they could never have been guilty had they studied that beautiful description of a Hebrew woman given at the end of the book of Proverbs, where the value of a virtuous and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-37

JEHU ANOINTED KING OF ISRAEL (vv.1-13) Elijah had been told to anoint Jehu king of Israel (1 Kings 19:16), but had not done it. Now later Elisha commissions one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu, telling him he would find him at Ramoth Gilead (v.1). Explicit directions were given him to anoint Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, taking him to an inner room to do this. Jehu was an officer in the army of Joram, son of Ahab. What was the reason for a secret anointing... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-37

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
