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 king over Judah in the eleventh year Joram son of Ahab was king.)

30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put on her eye makeup and fixed her hair. Then she looked out the window.

31 When Jehu entered the city gate, Jezebel said, "Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you who killed your master?"

32 Jehu looked up at the window and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three servants looked out the window at Jehu.

33 He said to them, "Throw her down." So they threw Jezebel down, and the horses ran over her. Some of her blood splashed on the wall and on the horses.
