Melachim Bais 10:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:32

In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short
To bring their dominions into a narrower compass; this was done in the days of Jehu, though he was so active and courageous, wherefore the hand of God was the more seen in it:

and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
which bordered on his country, when he did what Elisha foretold he would, ( 2 Kings 8:12 ) .

Melachim Bais 10:32 In-Context

30 And Hashem said unto Yehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is yashar in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the bais of Ach’av according to all that was in Mine lev, thy banim of the fourth generation shall sit on the kisse Yisroel.

31 Yet Yehu was not shomer to follow the Torat Hashem Elohei Yisroel with all his lev; for he departed not from the chattot Yarov‘am which he caused Yisroel to commit sin.

32 In those days Hashem began to cut Yisroel down to size; and Chazael struck them down in all the territory of Yisroel;

33 From Yarden eastward, all Eretz Gil‘ad, the Gadi, and the Reuveni, and the Menashi, from Aroer, which is by the Arnon Valley, even Gil‘ad and Bashan.

34 Now the rest of the acts of Yehu, and all that he did, and all his gevurah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?
