2 Kings 10:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:3

Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons
Most fit for government, whether on account of age or proper qualifications, and wisdom, courage

and set him on his father's throne;
proclaim him king:

and fight for your master's house;
that the crown may continue in his family; all which he did not desire might be, but in this sarcastic and sneering manner dares them to do it.

2 Kings 10:3 In-Context

1 Now Ach'av had seventy sons in Shomron. Yehu wrote letters, and sent to Shomron, to the rulers of Yizre`el, even the Zakenim, and to those who brought up [the sons of] Ach'av, saying,

2 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;

3 look you out the best and meet of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings didn't stand before him: how then shall we stand?

5 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the Zakenim also, and those who brought up [the children], sent to Yehu, saying, We are your servants, and will do all that you shall bid us; we will not make any man king: you do that which is good in your eyes.
