2 Kings 9:31 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:31

And as Jehu entered in at the gate
Either of the city of Jezreel, or of the king's palace:

she said, [had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
Elah the son of Baasha king of Israel; no, he had not; he reigned but seven days, and, being besieged, burnt the king's house over him, and died, ( 1 Kings 16:10 1 Kings 16:18 ) , suggesting that the like would be his fate, who had slain his master Joram; or the words may be rendered, "O Zimri, the slayer of his master"; calling Jehu so, because of his likeness to Zimri.

2 Kings 9:31 In-Context

29 (In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)

30 And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.

31 And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?

32 Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.

33 And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
