2 Kings 9:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:33

And he said, throw her down
Out of the window upon the ground:

so they threw her down;
took her up, and cast her headlong, as they were bid:

and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall;
of the palace where she was:

and on the horses;
which drew the chariot of Jehu:

and he trod her underfoot;
with his horses; according to Kimchi, her sentence, and so her death, was stoning, as a retaliation of Naboth; for stoning was done two ways, both by casting down persons on stones, and by casting stones upon them, (See Gill on Acts 7:58).
