FRESH MURDERS-THE EXTIRPATION OF BAALWORSHIP2 Kings 10:12-28B.C. 842"Jehu, sur les hauts lieux, enfin osant offrir Un temeraire encens que Dieu ne peut souffrir, N’a pour servir sa cause et venger ses injures Ni le coeur assez droit, ni les mains assez pures."- RACINEAFTER such abject subservience had been shown him by the lords of Samaria and Jezreel, Jehu evidently had no further shadow of apprehension. He seems to have loved blood for its own sake-to have been seized by a vertigo of... read more

10:23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the {i} servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.(i) Thus God would have his servants preserved and idolaters destroyed, as in his law he gives express command, De 13:5. read more

10:25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, [and] slay them; let none come forth.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 10:1-36

AHAB'S SONS KILLED (vv.1-11) Ahab had 70 sons in Samaria and Jehu was purposed to put them to death also. He chose the method of demanding by letter that the rulers and elders of Israel should choose one of Ahab's son as king to fight against Jehu (vv.1-3). The rulers were terrified by this proposal, for they knew Jehu would easily defeat them. They decided therefore to be the servants of Jehu and sent word to him that they would not make anyone king, but would submit to his authority... read more

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 10:1-36

2 Kings 10:0 1. And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to [nourishers] them that brought up Ahab's children, saying, 2. Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city [fenced cities. There is a tone of mocking irony in Jehu's challenge to the nobles of Samaria, who were probably as luxurious and cowardly as in the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 10:17-28

Jehu, as the Lord's minister in the destruction of idols, is graciously upheld in this service. And, hence all the worshippers of Baal were blinded to their own destruction. But, Reader! do observe, for it is a sweet part of this history, how the Lord overruled this event for the preservation of his hidden ones. There were seven thousand of the seed of the faithful in Israel in Elijah's time, as the Lord told him, though he, poor man, thought himself the only one. And no doubt there were many... read more
