Context

Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah

²⁷When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.²⁸Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.

Summary

This verse describes the fulfillment of the prophecy concerning the downfall of the wicked Queen Jezebel. After being thrown down from a window by her own eunuchs, her blood splattered on the wall and horses trampled over her body, just as prophesied. This event serves as a reminder of the consequences of wickedness and the judgment that comes upon those who oppose God. It also highlights the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His word, even in the midst of human rebellion and sin.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And he lifted up his face to the window,.... On hearing the above words: and said, who is on my side, who? and will assist in taking vengeance on this haughty, imperious, and abusive woman: and there looked out to him two or three eunuchs; who used to wait on her, as such did on women of quality, and attend them in their bedchambers; these, by their looks, signified they were ready to do any thing Jehu should direct them, Jezebel having been, perhaps, a very cruel mistress to them, and so was hated by them; and they might hope, by pleasing Jehu, to be continued at court in their office.
