Commentaries
Excerpts gathered from published commentaries to ground the reading.
Conclusion of the history of Jehu's reign. The length of his reign is not given till the end in this instance (Kg2 10:36), contrary to the usual custom in our books, because his ascent of the throne is not expressly mentioned in what precedes; but the general character of his reign is given in immediate connection with the account of his anointing and of the extermination of Ahab's dynasty.
