2 Kings 9:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:32

And he lifted up his face to the window
On hearing the above words;

and said, who is on my side, who?
and will assist in taking vengeance on this haughty, imperious, and abusive woman:

and there looked out to him two or three eunuchs;
who used to wait on her, as such did on women of quality, and attend them in their bedchambers; these, by their looks, signified they were ready to do any thing Jehu should direct them, Jezebel having been, perhaps, a very cruel mistress to them, and so was hated by them; and they might hope, by pleasing Jehu, to be continued at court in their office.

2 Kings 9:32 In-Context

30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said , Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said , Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 And he said , Throw her down . So they threw her down : and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot .
34 And when he was come in , he did eat and drink , and said , Go , see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
