We have in this chapter, I. A further account of Jehu’s execution of his commission. He cut off, 1. All Ahab’s sons, 2 Kings 10:1-10:10. 2. All Ahab’s kindred, 2 Kings 10:11-10:14, 10:17. 3. Ahab’s idolatry: his zeal against this he took Jonadab to be witness to (2 Kings 10:15, 10:16), summoned all the worshippers of Baal to attend (2 Kings 10:18-10:23) and slew them all (2 Kings 10:24, 10:25), and then abolished that idolatry, 2 Kings 10:26-10:28. II. A short account of the administration of his government. 1. The old idolatry of Israel, the worship of the calves, was retained, 2 Kings 10:29-10:31. 2. This brought God’s judgments upon them by Hazael, with which his reign concludes, 2 Kings 10:32-10:36. MHBCC 324.1
