2 Reyes 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:22

And it came to pass, when Joram saw, Jehu, that he said, is it
peace, Jehu?
&c.] Have things gone well at Ramothgilead? art thou come in triumph from thence? or obliged to fly from the Syrians? or art thou come in a peaceable, or in an hostile manner to me?

and he answered, what peace;
canst thou expect at home or abroad, from me or others:

so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are
so many?
which may be understood both literally of corporeal whoredom, and diabolical arts she was addicted to, and figuratively of idolatry, often called whoredom in Scripture, and of the wicked arts and methods she made use of to inveigle and entice persons into it; and both these very often went together; see ( Nahum 3:4 ) and of which Joram was guilty, at least in part; he connived at all in her, and did not attempt to restrain her, and therefore had no claim to peace, protection, and safety.

2 Reyes 9:22 In-Context

20 Y avis贸 el centinela, diciendo: El lleg贸 hasta ellos, y no regres贸; y el modo de guiar es como el guiar de Jeh煤, hijo de Nimsi, porque gu铆a alocadamente.
21 Entonces Joram dijo: Preparad el carro. Y prepararon su carro. Y salieron Joram, rey de Israel, y Ocoz铆as, rey de Jud谩, cada uno en su carro, y fueron al encuentro de Jeh煤, y lo hallaron en el campo de Nabot de Jezreel.
22 Y sucedi贸 que cuando Joram vio a Jeh煤, dijo: 驴Hay paz, Jeh煤? Y 茅l respondi贸: 驴Qu茅 paz, mientras sean tantas las prostituciones de tu madre Jezabel y sus hechicer铆as?
23 Entonces Joram volvi贸 las riendas y huy贸, y dijo a Ocoz铆as: 隆Traici贸n, Ocoz铆as!
24 Y Jeh煤 entes贸 su arco con toda su fuerza e hiri贸 a Joram en la espalda; y la saeta sali贸 por su coraz贸n y se desplom贸 en su carro.
