Introduction
Elisha sends one of the disciples of the prophets to Ramoth-gilead, to anoint Jehu king of Israel, 2 Kings 9:1-3 . He acts according to his orders, and informs Jehu that he is to cut off the whole house of Ahab, 2 Kings 9:4-10 . Jehu's captains proclaim him king, 2 Kings 9:11-14 . He goes again Jezreel; where he finds Joram and Ahaziah king of Judah, who had come to visit him; he slays them both: the former is thrown into the portion of Naboth; the latter, having received a mortal wound, gives to Megiddo, and dies there, and is carried to Jerusalem, and buried in the city of David, 2 Kings 9:15-29 . He commands Jezebel to be thrown out of her window; and he treads her under the feet of his horses; and the dogs eat her, according to the word of the Lord, 2 Kings 9:30-37 .
