THE BODY OF JEHORAM (JORAM) WAS CAST UPON THE PLOT OF NABOTH"Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, Jehovah laid this burden upon him: Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to the word of Jehovah.""Remember how that I and thou rode... read more

Jehu’s assassination of Joram 9:14-26Israel had evidently retaken Ramoth-gilead after Ben-Hadad I had defeated Ahab there 12 years earlier. Israel was now defending it against the attacking Arameans (2 Kings 9:14). The horsemen and Joram who asked Jehu, "Is it peace?" were asking if Israel had successfully defended Ramoth-gilead (2 Kings 9:17; 2 Kings 9:19; 2 Kings 9:22). Jehu’s reply to the two horsemen, "What have you to do with peace?" (2 Kings 9:18-19) was somewhat enigmatic and meant,... read more

6. Ahaziah’s evil reign in Judah 8:25-9:29There were two King Ahaziahs as there were two King Jehorams, one of each in each kingdom. Both Ahaziahs reigned only one year each, but their administrations did not overlap. The administrations of the two Jehorams did overlap. Ahaziah of Israel reigned 11 years earlier than Ahaziah of Judah. In Judah, Jehoram (853-841 B.C) preceded Ahaziah (841 B.C.), but in Israel Ahaziah (853-852 B.C.) preceded Jehoram (852-841 B.C.).YearSouthern (Judean)... read more

(25) Then said Jehu.—Literally, And he said.Bidkar.—The Syriac gives Bar-dĕkar, “son of stabbing,” i.e., “stabber,” “slayer” a very suitable name for Jehu’s squire. The Hebrew name is, therefore, a contraction of Ben-dekar. (Comp. Bedan, “son of Dan,” i.e., Danite, 1 Samuel 12:11; and Bedad, “son of Hadad,” in 1 Chronicles 1:46.)Captain.—Adjutant, aide-de-camp, chief (2 Kings 7:2).Remember how that, when I and thou rode together.—This gives the sense of the Hebrew correctly. Literally, remember... 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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:11-37
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
