2 Re 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 Re 9:21 In-Context

19 Allora il re mandò un altro uomo a cavallo, il quale, pervenuto a loro, disse: Così ha detto il re: Le cose vanno elleno bene? E Iehu disse: Che hai tu da far di saper se le cose vanno bene? passa dietro a me.
20 E la guardia rapportò la cosa, dicendo: Egli è pervenuto infino a loro, ma non ritorna; e l’andare pare l’andare di Iehu, figliuolo di Nimsi; perciocchè egli cammina con furia.
21 Allora Gioram, re d’Israele, disse: Metti i cavalli al carro. Ed i cavalli furono messi al suo carro. A Gioram, re di Israele, ed Achazia, re di Giuda, uscirono ciascuno sopra il suo carro, incontro a Iehu; e lo trovarono nella possessione di Nabot Izreelita.
22 E come Gioram ebbe veduto Iehu, disse: Le cose vanno elleno bene, Iehu? Ed egli disse: Come possono andar bene, mentre durano le fornicazioni d’Izebel, tua madre, e le sue tante incantagioni?
23 Allora Gioram voltò mano, e si mise a fuggire, e disse ad Achazia: O Achazia, vi è del tradimento.
