Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| All his might - It is remarkable that this expression, which is not used by the author of Kings in connection with any other king of Israel, should be applied to Jehu, whose ill success in his struggle with Hazael has just been noted, and who submitted to the Assyrians and consented to become a tributary. Perhaps the word is used here in the sense of "personal courage" rather than of "power." |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Conclusion of the history of Jehu's reign. The length of his reign is not given till the end in this instance (Kg2 10:36), contrary to the usual custom in our books, because his ascent of the throne is not expressly mentioned in what precedes; but the general character of his reign is given in immediate connection with the account of his anointing and of the extermination of Ahab's dynasty. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Are they not written in the book of the chronicles - We have no chronicles in which there is any thing farther spoken of this bad man. His reign was long, twenty-eight years; and yet we know nothing of it but the commencement.
For barbarity and hypocrisy Jehu has few parallels; and the cowardliness and baseness of the nobles of Samaria have seldom been equalled. Ahab's bloody house must be cut off; but did God ever design that it should be done by these means? The men were, no doubt, profligate and wicked, and God permitted their iniquity to manifest itself in this way; and thus the purpose of God, that Ahab's house should no more reign, was completely accomplished: see Kg1 21:19, Kg1 21:21, Kg1 21:29. And by this conduct Jehu is said to have executed what was right in God's eyes, Kg2 10:30. The cutting off of Ahab's family was decreed by the Divine justice; the means by which it was done, or at least the manner of doing, were not entirely of his appointing: yet the commission given him by the young prophet, Kg2 9:7, was very extensive. Yet still many things seem to be attributed to God, as the agent, which he does not execute, but only permits to be done. |
36 And the time [03117] that Jehu [03058] reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] was twenty [06242] and eight [08083] years [08141].
7 And thou shalt smite [05221] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] thy master [0113], that I may avenge [05358] the blood [01818] of my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], and the blood [01818] of all the servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], at the hand [03027] of Jezebel [0348].
30 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Jehu [03058], Because thou hast done well [02895] in executing [06213] that which is right [03477] in mine eyes [05869], and hast done [06213] unto the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] according to all that was in mine heart [03824], thy children [01121] of the fourth [07243] generation shall sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478].
29 Seest [07200] thou how Ahab [0256] humbleth [03665] himself before [06440] me? because [03282] he humbleth [03665] himself before [06440] me, I will not bring [0935] the evil [07451] in his days [03117]: but in his son's [01121] days [03117] will I bring [0935] the evil [07451] upon his house [01004].
21 Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon thee, and will take away [01197] thy posterity [0310], and will cut off [03772] from Ahab [0256] him that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023], and him that is shut up [06113] and left [05800] in Israel [03478],
19 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Hast thou killed [07523], and also taken possession [03423]? And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], In the place [04725] where dogs [03611] licked [03952] the blood [01818] of Naboth [05022] shall dogs [03611] lick [03952] thy blood [01818], even thine.
