Context — Jezebel’s Violent Death
32He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33“Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”
35But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands. 36So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.Cross References

2 Kings 9:34 Summary
[Jehu's instruction to bury Jezebel, despite her evil deeds, shows that he recognized her former status as a queen, as seen in 2 Kings 9:34. This act of respect was not a condoning of her actions, but rather an acknowledgment of her former position. As seen in 1 Kings 21:23, God's judgment is not based on social status, but on our actions. Jehu's actions serve as a reminder that our actions have consequences, and we must trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Psalms 37:3-4.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Jehu instruct that Jezebel be buried, despite her wickedness?
Jehu acknowledged Jezebel's royal lineage and showed respect for her former position, as seen in 2 Kings 9:34, where he says 'for she was the daughter of a king.' This act of burying her was likely a nod to her former status, rather than a sign of reverence for her character, as noted in the prophecy of her demise in 1 Kings 21:23.
Is Jehu's decision to eat and drink before attending to Jezebel's burial a sign of callousness?
While it may seem callous, Jehu's actions can be seen as a sign of his focus on the task at hand, as well as his trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in 2 Kings 9:36, where he references the prophecy of Elijah the Tishbite.
What can we learn from Jehu's statement about Jezebel being 'the daughter of a king'?
Jehu's words serve as a reminder that our actions have consequences, regardless of our social status or position, as seen in Proverbs 21:21, which says 'Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor.'
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's justice?
This verse illustrates God's justice, as He brings judgment upon Jezebel for her wicked deeds, as prophesied in 1 Kings 21:23, and fulfilled in 2 Kings 9:36, demonstrating that God is a God of justice and righteousness, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:4.
Reflection Questions
- What can I learn from Jehu's actions about prioritizing tasks and trusting in God's sovereignty?
- How does this verse challenge my understanding of God's justice and righteousness?
- In what ways can I show respect for those in positions of authority, even if I disagree with their actions?
- What does this verse reveal about the consequences of our actions, and how can I apply this to my own life?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 9:34
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 9:34
This he suddenly commanded: either because he had forgot the charge given him above, , or because having done his own business, he was careless about God’ s work, and the fulfilling of his threatening. For she is a king’ s daughter: see . He doth not say, because she was a king’ s wife, lest he should seem to show any respect to that wicked and cursed house of Ahab, which God had devoted to ignominy and utter destruction.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 9:34
2 Kings 9:34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king’ s daughter.Ver. 34. And bury her.] He had forgot, belike, at present, the prophecy of Elijah, that dogs should eat her flesh, which yet soon after he remembereth. For she is a king’ s daughter.] Meaning Ethbaal king of Zidon, whom he was loath to incense.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 9:34
(34) And when . . . drink.—Rather, And he went in (into the palace), and ate and drank. Jehu takes possession of the palace, having slain its former occupants. Savage warrior as he was, he forgot all about the victim of his violence until he had appeased the demands of his appetite. Then he could remember that even Jezebel was of royal rank, and perhaps a touch of remorse may be discerned in the mandate for her burial. Go, see now.—Rather, Look, I pray, after.This cursed woman.—Jehu was thinking of the curse pronounced on Jezebel by the prophet Elijah. (See next verse.) She is a king’s daughter.—Compare 1 Kings 16:31.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 9:34
Verse 34. She is a king's daughter.] Jezebel was certainly a woman of a very high lineage. She was daughter of the king of Tyre; wife of Ahab, king of Israel; mother of Joram, king of Israel; mother-in-law of Joram, king of Judah; and grandmother of Ahaziah, king of Judah.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 9:34
34. And when he was come in] To the palace, where now he was master. Not only the eunuchs of Jezebel, but the household of Joram appears to have been ready to serve him, for the queen-mother is hardly dead before Jehu is set down to a banquet in the palace. and said, Go, see now this cursed woman] [R.V. And he said, See now to this cursed woman] The ‘Go’ of A.V. is of course implied but not expressed in the original. By ‘cursed’ he means that she has brought God’s curse upon herself by her idolatry and bad example. It is no objurgation of his own. The word is the same that is employed in that solemn list of God’s curses on evil-doing in Deuteronomy 27, 28. she is a king’s daughter] Jezebel was daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. See note on 1 Kings 16:31.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 9:34
Leaving the mangled body on the bare earth, Jehu went to the banquet. It was, no doubt, important that he should at once show himself to the court as king.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 9:34
34. He did eat and drink — This scene of hilarity and cheer in the midst of such fearful bloodshed makes one shudder. But the minister of doom to Ahab’s guilty house must needs be such a one as Jehu.
