2 Re 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 Re 10:9 In-Context

7 E come questi ebbero ricevuta la lettera, presero i figliuoli del re, li scannarono tutti e settanta; poi misero le loro teste in ceste, e le mandarono a Jehu a Izreel.
8 E un messo venne a Jehu a recargli la notizia, dicendo: "Hanno portato le teste dei figliuoli del re". Jehu rispose: "Mettetele in due mucchi all’entrata della porta, fino a domattina".
9 La mattina dopo, egli uscì fuori; e fermatosi, disse a tutto il popolo: "Voi siete giusti; ecco, io congiurai contro il mio signore, e l’uccisi; ma chi ha uccisi tutti questi?
10 Riconoscete dunque che non cade a terra una parola di quelle che l’Eterno pronunziò contro la casa di Achab; l’Eterno ha fatto quello che predisse per mezzo del suo servo Elia".
11 E Jehu fece morire tutti quelli ch’erano rimasti della casa di Achab a Izreel, tutti i suoi grandi, i suoi amici e i suoi consiglieri, senza che ne scampasse uno.
