2 Kings 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.

15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds; for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.

16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda, was come down to visit Joram.

17 The watchman therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
