2 Reyes 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:9

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and
stood, and said to all the people
Who were gathered together to this shocking sight, or on the above accounts:

ye be righteous;
having had no concern in taking off the heads of those men:

behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him;
I own it, and some may blame me for it, and charge me with treason and murder:

but who slew all these?
not he, but the chief men of Samaria, and therefore must be more guilty than he, having shed the blood of so many persons, who had not offended against God and man to so great a degree as Joram; this he said to lessen his own sin, and wipe off the reproach of it, that his character might appear fairer in the eyes of the people, concealing, at the same time, his orders for the slaying of them.

2 Reyes 10:9 In-Context

7 Cuando llegĂł la carta, los lĂ­deres mataron a los setenta hijos del rey; pusieron las cabezas en canastos y se las entregaron a JehĂș, quien estaba en Jezreel.
8 Un mensajero fue a ver a JehĂș y le dijo:
—Han traído las cabezas de los hijos del rey.
Entonces JehĂș ordenĂł:
—ApĂ­lenlas en dos montones a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad y dĂ©jenlas allĂ­ hasta la mañana.
9 Al dĂ­a siguiente, JehĂș saliĂł y hablĂł a la multitud que se habĂ­a juntado: «Ustedes no tienen la culpa —les dijo—. Yo soy el que conspirĂł contra mi amo y lo matĂł; pero ÂżquiĂ©n matĂł a todos estos?
10 No tengan duda de que se cumplirå el mensaje que el Señor
dio acerca de la familia de Acab. El Señor
declaró por medio de su siervo Elías que esto sucedería».
11 DespuĂ©s JehĂș matĂł a los demĂĄs parientes de Acab que vivĂ­an en Jezreel, a todos sus funcionarios importantes, a sus amigos personales y a sus sacerdotes. AsĂ­ fue cĂłmo a Acab no le quedĂł ningĂșn descendiente.
