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 Ahaziah had become Judah's king in the eleventh year of Ahab's son Joram.

30 Jehu then went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard of it, she put on her eye shadow and arranged her hair. She looked down out of the window.

31 When Jehu came through the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you master murderer?"

32 Jehu looked up to the window and said, "Who's on my side? Anyone?" Two or three high officials looked down at him.

33 Then he said, "Throw her out!" So they threw her out of the window. Some of her blood splattered against the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her.
