2 Kings 9:35 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:35

And they went to bury her
The servants of Jehu, according to his orders and instructions;

but they found no more of her than the scull, and the feet, and the
palms of her hands;
the flesh, and even all the rest of her bones, being devoured by dogs, so that there was scarce anything of her to be buried, as in ( 2 Kings 9:10 ) , something similar to this happened to Ascletarion, a mathematician, as related by Suetonius ^F15.

2 Kings 9:35 In-Context

33 And he said to them, Cast ye her down. And they casted down her (And they went, and threw her down); and the wall was besprinkled with (her) blood, and (also) the hooves of (the) horses, that treaded (upon) her.

34 And when he had entered to eat and drink, he said, Go ye, and see that cursed woman, and bury ye her, for she is a king's daughter.

35 And when they had gone to bury her, they found not of her, no but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands;

36 and they turned again, and told to him (and they returned, and told him). And Jehu said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant, Elijah of Tishbe/Elijah (the) Tishbite, and said, (The) Dogs shall eat (up) the flesh of Jezebel in the field of Jezreel;

37 and the fleshes of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezreel, so that men passing forth thereby say, Lo! this is that Jezebel.
