2 Kings 9:27 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 9:27

25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him into the tract of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that ^athe Lord laid this ^bburden upon him:

26 ‘Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the Lord, ^a‘and I will repay you in this plot,’ says the Lord. Now therefore, take and throw him on the plot of ground, according to the word of the Lord.”

Ahaziah of Judah Killed

27 But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the road to¹ Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, “Shoot him also in the chariot.” And they shot him at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to ^aMegiddo, and died there.

28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.

29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

Jezebel’s Violent Death

30 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; ^aand she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.
