THE REVOLT OF JEHU2 Kings 9:1-37B.C. 842"Te semper anteit saeva Necessitas, Clavos trabales et cuneos manu, Gestans ahena."- HORAT., "Od.," I 35:17A LONG period had elapsed since Elijah had received the triple commission which was to mark the close of his career. Two of those Divine behests had now been accomplished. He had anointed Elisha, son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, to be prophet in his room; and Elisha had anointed Hazael to be king over Syria, {; 1 Kings 19:15-16} the third and more... 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

2 Kings 9:0 1. And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box [phial] of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead: 2. And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in [ into Jehu's house] and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him [literally, cause him to enter.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 9:21-29

What a remarkable coincidence of circumstances must it have been to have brought those persons to the very spot of Naboth's vineyard! as if to remind Joram of the cause of his death, and his merited judgment. Reader! what greater testimony can a man require that the Lord's hand is in that visitation, when the punishment ariseth out of the very crime itself, in the consequences which follow. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:16-29

16-29 Jehu was a man of eager spirit. The wisdom of God is seen in the choice of those employed in his work. But it is not for any man's reputation to be known by his fury. He that has rule over his own spirit, is better than the mighty. Joram met Jehu in the portion of Naboth. The circumstances of events are sometimes ordered by Divine Providence to make the punishment answer to the sin, as face answers to face in a glass. The way of sin can never be the way of peace, Isaiah 57:21. What peace... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 9:11-26

Death of Joram v. 11. Then Jehu came forth, out of the inner chamber, to the servants of his lord, his fellow-councilors and companions in arms; and one said unto him, Is all well? They all were anxious to know whether it was a favorable message which he had received. Wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? The young prophet had been wild and unusual in his behavior, a fact which naturally did not escape their observation. And he said unto them, Ye know the man and his communication. He... read more
