A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
will make thine house, &c.--(see on Kg1 15:29 and Kg1 16:3-12). Jezebel, though included among the members of Ahab's house, has her ignominious fate expressly foretold (see Kg2 9:30).

30 And when Jehu [03058] was come [0935] to Jezreel [03157], Jezebel [0348] heard [08085] of it; and she painted [07760] [06320] her face [05869], and tired [03190] her head [07218], and looked out [08259] at a window [02474].
3 Behold, I will take away [01197] the posterity [0310] of Baasha [01201], and the posterity [0310] of his house [01004]; and will make [05414] thy house [01004] like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028].
4 Him that dieth [04191] of Baasha [01201] in the city [05892] shall the dogs [03611] eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] of his in the fields [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398].
5 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Baasha [01201], and what he did [06213], and his might [01369], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]?
6 So Baasha [01201] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in Tirzah [08656]: and Elah [0425] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
7 And also by the hand [03027] of the prophet [05030] Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607] came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] against Baasha [01201], and against his house [01004], even for all the evil [07451] that he did [06213] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], in provoking him to anger [03707] with the work [04639] of his hands [03027], in being like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]; and because he killed [05221] him.
8 In the twenty [06242] [08141] and sixth [08337] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Elah [0425] the son [01121] of Baasha [01201] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Tirzah [08656], two years [08141].
9 And his servant [05650] Zimri [02174], captain [08269] of half [04276] his chariots [07393], conspired [07194] against him, as he was in Tirzah [08656], drinking [08354] himself drunk [07910] in the house [01004] of Arza [0777] steward of his house [01004] in Tirzah [08656].
10 And Zimri [02174] went in [0935] and smote [05221] him, and killed [04191] him, in the twenty [06242] and seventh [07651] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and reigned [04427] in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign [04427], as soon as he sat [03427] on his throne [03678], that he slew [05221] all the house [01004] of Baasha [01201]: he left [07604] him not one that pisseth [08366] against a wall [07023], neither of his kinsfolks [01350], nor of his friends [07453].
12 Thus did Zimri [02174] destroy [08045] all the house [01004] of Baasha [01201], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] against Baasha [01201] by [03027] Jehu [03058] the prophet [05030],
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned [04427], that he smote [05221] all the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]; he left [07604] not to Jeroboam [03379] any that breathed [05397], until he had destroyed [08045] him, according unto the saying [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888]:
26 Surely I have seen [07200] yesterday [0570] the blood [01818] of Naboth [05022], and the blood [01818] of his sons [01121], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will requite [07999] thee in this plat [02513], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Now therefore take [05375] and cast [07993] him into the plat [02513] of ground, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068].
