21 Disse Jorão: Aparelha-me o carro! E lho aparelharam. Saiu Jorão, rei de Israel, com Acazias, rei de Judá, cada um em seu carro para irem ao encontro de Jeú, e o encontraram no campo de Nabote, o jizreelita.

2 Reis 9:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:21

And Joram said, make ready
The chariot, put to the horses; bind them, as the word signifies, to the chariot: and his chariot was made ready;
by his servants immediately: and Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in
his chariot;
not both in the same chariot, but each in his own, for the sake of greater magnificence: and they went out against Jehu;
not in an hostile manner, for they had no notion of him as an enemy; though it is much they had no suspicion of him by his detaining the messengers; but Joram perhaps thought he was desirous of delivering his message himself; and in honour to him, and also being eager to know what it was, went out to meet him: and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite;
which had been his, and where, or near it, he was stoned, and his blood shed; a very inauspicious place to meet him in.

2 Reis 9:21 In-Context

19 Então Jorão enviou outro cavaleiro; e, chegando este a eles, disse Assim diz o rei: Há paz? Respondeu Jeú: Que tens tu que fazer com a paz? Passa para trás de mim.

20 E o atalaia deu aviso, dizendo: Também este chegou a eles, porém não volta; e o andar se parece com o andar de Jeú, filho de Ninsi porque anda furiosamente.

21 Disse Jorão: Aparelha-me o carro! E lho aparelharam. Saiu Jorão, rei de Israel, com Acazias, rei de Judá, cada um em seu carro para irem ao encontro de Jeú, e o encontraram no campo de Nabote, o jizreelita.

22 E sucedeu que, vendo Jorão a Jeú, perguntou: Há paz, Jeú? Respondeu ele: Que paz, enquanto as prostituições da tua mãe Jezabel e as suas feitiçarias são tantas?

23 Então Jorão deu volta, e fugiu, dizendo a Acazias: Há traição, Acazias!
