列王紀下 9:25 CUNPTS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 9:14-26

“The Driving of Jehu” 2 Kings 9:14-26 Many times in this chapter the question is asked, though in varying tones, “Is it peace?” The horsemen ask it of the furious driver; the king asks it of his captain; Jezebel asks it of the executioners of her son. Is not the human heart always asking the same question? If there is the slightest tremor in the air, the inquiry is at once started, “Will this make or mar our peace?” The heart of man is ill at ease. Deeply conscious that all is not right... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-37

The hour had come to carry out the sentence of God on the house of Ahab. The prophet sent one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu. This Jehu, as his history reveals, was a fitting instrument for swift and relentless judgment. He was a furious driver, which was symbolic of his character. He halted at nothing, but swept like a whirlwind from point to point until the things he desired were accomplished. This is startlingly manifest in this chapter. On tde way, having been anointed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:21-26

The Death Of Jehoram At The Hands Of Jehu In Accordance With YHWH’s Pronounced Judgment On The House Of Ahab Because Of The Murder Of Naboth The Jezreelite (2 Kings 9:21-26 ). Now confident at least of their security the two kings themselves set out in their chariots to meet Jehu, and they found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. This might well have been deliberate on Jehu’s part. He would want Israel to recognise that what he was doing was carrying out YHWH’s vengeance. To the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:1-37

2 Kings 9:1 to 2 Kings 10:31 . The Revolution and Overthrow of the Baal Worship.— This spirited narrative is probably derived from the same source as 1 Kings 20, 22; and, if we strike out the short Deuteronomic portion ( 2 Kings 9:7-2 Samuel :), we cannot fail to notice the detachment of the writer, who neither condemns nor approves, but merely relates the tragedy. Hosea ( Hosea 1:4), a little more than a century later, evidently condemns the whole transaction, and traces the fall of Jehu’ s... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 9:25

When I and thou rode together after Ahab his father; which might be when Ahab went in his chariot, attended with his nobles or chief officers, (of which these were two,) to take a formal and solemn possession of Naboth’s land; for then the prophet Elijah met him, and denounced this judgment against him, 1 Kings 21:17, &c. This burden, i.e. this grievous prophecy; for such are oft and truly called burdens, as Isaiah 13:1; Isaiah 15:1; Jeremiah 23:33,Jeremiah 23:34; Nahum 1:1. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Kings 9:15-37

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 9:21. Each in his chariot went out against Jehu—Rather, to meet Jehu. They would not have ridden out in royal equipages for a hostile attack on him. This self-indulgent king, who had been idling in his summer palace with Ahaziah, now found himself well enough to exert himself. 2 Kings 9:22. Is it peace, Jehu?—Anxiety in the enquiry; fear of bad tidings as to the war, or of conspiracy against himself. What peace, so long as, &c.—Such a rebuke from a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:1-37

Chapter nine.Elisha is an extremely colorful character. And we are coming towards the end of the career of Elisha, a prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel. And Elisha commanded one of the young prophets to go to Jezreel and there to take a cruse of oil and call Jehu, who was a captain of the host of Israel, into another room secretly, and there anoint him with the oil to be king over Israel, and then get out of there as fast as you can. So this young man came to Jezreel where Jehu was... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 9:1-37

2 Kings 9:1 . One of the children of the prophets. A young man, fit for the mission, swift of foot: a bruised reed to overthrow a throne stained with the blood of countless martyrs. 2 Kings 9:7 . Thou shalt smite the house of Ahab. Where can we find a charge equal to this in precision, in plenitude, in strength and sublimity? Jehu’s openness and candour gained all the captains over to his cause; for God inspired them with his spirit. 2 Kings 9:13 . Every man took his garment, and put... read more

2 Kings 9:2-37Look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat.The history of JehuJehu was the son of Nimshi and the grandson of Jehoshaphat. He was one of the monsters of history. The leading facts of his revolting life will be found in this and the preceding chapter.I. A revolting exhibition of human depravity. He was ruthlessly and craftily cruel. He shot Jehoram dead in his chariot. He commanded Jezebel, who was looking out of a window as he passed by, to be thrown down, and in her fall she was... read more

2Ki 9:25 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, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him; Ver. 25.
