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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 9:32

2Ki 9:32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs. Ver. 32. There looked out to him two or three eunuchs. ] Those rats of the court, as a certain emperor called them: these were active in their lady’s death, all hope of further advantage by her being taken away. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 9:30-37

THE FATE OF JEZEBEL, 2 Kings 9:30-37. The tidings of the revolution under Jehu, and of the death of Joram, spread with the greatest rapidity throughout Jezreel, and quickly reached the ears of the haughty Jezebel. One would suppose that on hearing it she would have trembled with terror, and gone to hide herself in some dark recess of the palace. But her fierce, masculine, vindictive spirit asserts its pre-eminence to the very last; and if she too, has to perish with the rest of Ahab’s house,... read more
