15 But Yehoram HaMelech had returned to recover in Yizre’el from the makkim (wounds) which the Aramim (Syrians) had inflicted on him, when he fought against Chazael Melech Aram. And Yehu said, If ye be so minded, then let none slip away nor escape from the Ir to go to tell it in Yizre’el.

Melachim Bais 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:15

But King Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel
As is recorded, ( 2 Kings 8:29 ) and here repeated for the reason above given: and Jehu said, if it be your minds;
to engage one and all, and heartily, in this conspiracy, and to make me king: then let none go forth nor escape out of the city,
to go to tell it in Jezreel; that so Joram might be surprised unawares, and have no opportunity either of fleeing or of preparing for his defence.
