Verse 10

Jehu wishes the people to understand that these massacres are no work of private revenge, but a most signal fulfilling of Jehovah’s word by the prophet Elijah. See 1 Kings 21:19-29. Strange that the man, who so clearly recognized his mission as a minister of Divine judgment, utterly failed to see that by cleaving to the sins of Jeroboam he exposed himself to the same judgment, and that, sooner or later, Divine righteousness would “avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu.” Compare note on 2 Kings 10:29-30.
