What does 2 Kings 9:26 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Kings 9:26
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of
Naboth
These are the words of the Lord to Elijah the day after Naboth
was put to death:
and the blood of his sons, said the Lord;
who were put to death with him, that there might be no heirs to
the estate:
and I will requite thee in this place:
take vengeance here, as he now did on his son:
now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of
ground], according
to the word of the Lord;
whereby it would be fulfilled, see ( 1 Kings
21:19 ) , more is here recited than there, which Jehu well
remembered.
