Verse 11
11. Slew all that remained There was yet remaining in Jezreel not a few of the court favourites and friends of the royal family, and these Jehu proceeded at once to slay, and probably in presence of all the people. None dared oppose or resist him, for the people felt, as he had shown, that this was a fulfilling of prophecy.
Great men State officers who were then in Jezreel.
Kinsfolks Distant relatives, or intimate acquaintances, who had been accustomed to receive court favours.
Priests His private court priests, who were devoted to the calf-worship which Jeroboam had established, and Ahab had continued to encourage.
Be the first to react on this!
