2 Kings 10:35 Summary
[This verse tells us that Jehu, the king of Israel, died and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz became the new king. This shows that even though Jehu had his flaws, God was still faithful to him and allowed him to have a successor, just like He promised in 2 Kings 10:30. As we read this verse, we can reflect on our own lives and the legacy we want to leave behind, just like the apostle Paul did in 2 Timothy 4:7-8. We can also remember that our lives are not just about us, but about the impact we have on those around us and the generations that come after us, as seen in Psalm 78:4.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from the way Jehu's life is summarized in this verse?
We can learn that our lives will be remembered for the things we did, and the legacy we leave behind, as seen in 2 Kings 10:35 and also in the way King David's life was summarized in 1 Kings 2:10-12.
Why does the Bible mention that Jehu was buried in Samaria?

This is an idiomatic expression meaning that Jehu died and was buried with his ancestors, similar to the way it is used in Deuteronomy 31:16 and 2 Kings 8:24.

Jehoahaz taking the throne shows that God was faithful to His promise to Jehu, as seen in 2 Kings 10:30, and that God's promises are not limited to one generation, but can extend to our descendants, as seen in Exodus 20:6 and Deuteronomy 7:9.
Reflection Questions

- How can I trust God's plan for my life, even when I don't see the full picture, just like Jehu did in 2 Kings 10:30?

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:35
2 Kings 10:35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.Ver. 35. And Jehoahaz his son reigned.] By right of succession, as did after him Joash, Jeroboam, and Zachariah, by God’ s appointment. Zuinghus held that all kingdoms now-a-days were elective, none properly successive and hereditary; wherein we deny not that he erred in facto, ut loquuntur, saith learned Rivet.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:35
(29-36) Jehu’s reign and death.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 10:35
35. Jehoahaz his son] We are told (chap. 2 Kings 13:1) that Jehu’s death, and the accession of Jehoahaz, was in the three and twentieth year of Joash, king of Judah. As Jehu reigned twenty-eight years he must have been on the throne about five or six years when Joash was made king. In chapter 2 Kings 12:1 the accession of Joash is placed in the seventh year of Jehu, but from the way in which the Jews reckoned the regnal years of their kings there need be no contradiction between these statements.
