2 Kings 9:31 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:31

And as Jehu entered in at the gate
Either of the city of Jezreel, or of the king's palace:

she said, [had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
Elah the son of Baasha king of Israel; no, he had not; he reigned but seven days, and, being besieged, burnt the king's house over him, and died, ( 1 Kings 16:10 1 Kings 16:18 ) , suggesting that the like would be his fate, who had slain his master Joram; or the words may be rendered, "O Zimri, the slayer of his master"; calling Jehu so, because of his likeness to Zimri.

2 Kings 9:31 In-Context

29 (Ahaziah had become king of Judah in the eleventh year that Joram, Ahab's son, was king of Israel.)

30 When Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put on eye shadow, fixed her hair, and looked out of a second-story window.

31 When Jehu entered the gateway, she asked, "Is everything alright, Zimri, murderer of your master?"

32 Looking up at the window, he asked, "Is anyone on my side? Anyone?" Then two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

33 He said, "Throw her down." They threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and the horses. The horses trampled her.
