2 Kings 9:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:16

So Jehu rode in a chariot
In great pomp and majesty as a king: and went to Jezreel:
set forward on a march thither with his captains, and part of his army at least, from Ramothgilead; which, according to Bunting ^F14, was twenty four miles: for Jordan lay there;
to be cured of his wounds, as before observed: and Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram;
see ( 2 Kings 8:29 ) .

2 Kings 9:16 In-Context

14 coniuravit ergo Hieu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram porro Ioram obsederat Ramoth Galaad ipse et omnis Israhel contra Azahel regem Syriae

15 et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Hiezrahel propter vulnera quia percusserant eum Syri proeliantem contra Azahel regem Syriae dixitque Hieu si placet vobis nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate ne vadat et nuntiet in Hiezrahel

16 et ascendit et profectus est in Hiezrahel Ioram enim aegrotabat ibi et Ahazia rex Iuda descenderat ad visitandum Ioram

17 igitur speculator qui stabat super turrem Hiezrahel vidit globum Hieu venientis et ait video ego globum dixitque Ioram tolle currum et mitte in occursum eorum et dicat vadens rectene sunt omnia

18 abiit igitur qui ascenderat currum in occursum eius et ait haec dicit rex pacata sunt omnia dixitque ei Hieu quid tibi et paci transi et sequere me nuntiavit quoque speculator dicens venit nuntius ad eos et non revertitur
