2 Kings 9:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:33

And he said, throw her down
Out of the window upon the ground:

so they threw her down;
took her up, and cast her headlong, as they were bid:

and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall;
of the palace where she was:

and on the horses;
which drew the chariot of Jehu:

and he trod her underfoot;
with his horses; according to Kimchi, her sentence, and so her death, was stoning, as a retaliation of Naboth; for stoning was done two ways, both by casting down persons on stones, and by casting stones upon them, (See Gill on Acts 7:58).

2 Kings 9:33 In-Context

31 When Jehu came through the city gate, she called down, "So, how are things, 'Zimri,' you dashing king-killer?"
32 Jehu looked up at the window and called, "Is there anybody up there on my side?" Two or three palace eunuchs looked out.
33 He ordered, "Throw her down!" They threw her out the window. Her blood spattered the wall and the horses, and Jehu trampled her under his horse's hooves.
34 Then Jehu went inside and ate his lunch. During lunch he gave orders, "Take care of that damned woman; give her a decent burial - she is, after all, a king's daughter."
35 They went out to bury her, but there was nothing left of her but skull, feet, and hands.
