But King Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel
As is recorded, ( 2 Kings 8:29 ) and here repeated for the reason above given: and Jehu said, if it be your minds;
to engage one and all, and heartily, in this conspiracy, and to make me king: then let none go forth nor escape out of the city,
to go to tell it in Jezreel; that so Joram might be surprised unawares, and have no opportunity either of fleeing or of preparing for his defence.
