2 Kings 9:26

2 Kings 9:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:26

Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth
These are the words of the Lord to Elijah the day after Naboth was put to death:

and the blood of his sons, said the Lord;
who were put to death with him, that there might be no heirs to the estate:

and I will requite thee in this place:
take vengeance here, as he now did on his son:

now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according
to the word of the Lord;
whereby it would be fulfilled, see ( 1 Kings 21:19 ) , more is here recited than there, which Jehu well remembered.

2 Kings 9:26 In-Context

24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between his shoulders. The arrow went through Joram's heart, and he fell down in his chariot.

25 Jehu ordered Bidkar, his chariot officer, "Pick up Joram's body, and throw it into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember when you and I rode together with Joram's father Ahab. The Lord made this prophecy against him:

26 'Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and his sons, says the Lord, so I will punish Ahab in his field, says the Lord.' Take Joram's body and throw it into the field, as the Lord has said."

27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he ran away toward Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him, saying, "Shoot Ahaziah, too!" Ahaziah was wounded in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam. He got as far as Megiddo but died there.

28 Ahaziah's servants carried his body in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in Jerusalem.
