2 Kings 9:24

24 porro Hieu tetendit arcum manu et percussit Ioram inter scapulas et egressa est sagitta per cor eius statimque corruit in curru suo

2 Kings 9:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:24

And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength
To give the arrow all the force he could;

and smote Jehoram between his arms;
that is, between his shoulders, his back being turned to him, and the chariot an open one:

and the arrow went out at his heart:
quite through him:

and he sunk down in his chariot;
and died immediately.

2 Kings 9:24 In-Context

22 cumque vidisset Ioram Hieu dixit pax est Hieu at ille respondit quae pax adhuc fornicationes Hiezabel matris tuae et veneficia eius multa vigent

23 convertit autem Ioram manum suam et fugiens ait ad Ahaziam insidiae Ahazia

24 porro Hieu tetendit arcum manu et percussit Ioram inter scapulas et egressa est sagitta per cor eius statimque corruit in curru suo

25 dixitque Hieu ad Baddacer ducem tolle proice eum in agro Naboth Hiezrahelitae memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Ahab patrem huius quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum dicens

26 si non pro sanguine Naboth et pro sanguine filiorum eius quem vidi heri ait Dominus reddam tibi in agro isto dicit Dominus nunc igitur tolle proice eum in agro iuxta verbum Domini
