2 Kings 9:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:32

And he lifted up his face to the window
On hearing the above words;

and said, who is on my side, who?
and will assist in taking vengeance on this haughty, imperious, and abusive woman:

and there looked out to him two or three eunuchs;
who used to wait on her, as such did on women of quality, and attend them in their bedchambers; these, by their looks, signified they were ready to do any thing Jehu should direct them, Jezebel having been, perhaps, a very cruel mistress to them, and so was hated by them; and they might hope, by pleasing Jehu, to be continued at court in their office.
