Contextual Overview
30When Jezebel heard that Jehu had arrived in Jezreel, she made herself up—put on eyeshadow and arranged her hair—and posed seductively at the window. When Jehu came through the city gate, she called down, "So, how are things, ‘Zimri,' you dashing king-killer?" 32 Jehu looked up at the window and called, "Is there anybody up there on my side?" Two or three palace eunuchs looked out. 33 He ordered, "Throw her down!" They threw her out the window. Her blood spattered the wall and the horses, and Jehu trampled her under his horse's hooves. 34 Then Jehu went inside and ate his lunch. During lunch he gave orders, "Take care of that damned woman; give her a decent burial—she is, after all, a king's daughter." 35They went out to bury her, but there was nothing left of her but skull, feet, and hands. They came back and told Jehu. He said, "It's God 's word, the word spoken by Elijah the Tishbite: In the field of Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel; < 37 The body of Jezebel will be like dog-droppings on the ground in Jezreel. Old friends and lovers will say, ‘I wonder, is this Jezebel?'"
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Throw her down: 1 Kings 21:11
and on the horses: This terrible mode of punishment appears to have been but rarely used, though we occasionally meet with it during this and subsequent periods. The same punishment, it is well known, obtained among the Romans, who used to throw certain malefactors from the Tarpeian rock. This practice obtains among the Moors at Constantia, a town of Barbary; and is also of frequent occurrence in Persia.
and he trode: 2 Kings 9:26, 2 Kings 7:20, Isaiah 25:10, Lamentations 1:15, Micah 7:10, Malachi 4:3, Matthew 5:13, Hebrews 10:29
Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 14:30 - And Absalom's 1 Kings 21:29 - in his son's days 2 Kings 7:17 - the people trode upon him Psalms 68:23 - the tongue Isaiah 28:3 - shall Isaiah 63:3 - and trample Hosea 7:7 - devoured Zephaniah 1:17 - and their blood
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, throw her down,.... Out of the window upon the ground:
so they threw her down; took her up, and cast her headlong, as they were bid:
and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall; of the palace where she was:
and on the horses; which drew the chariot of Jehu:
and he trod her underfoot; with his horses; according to Kimchi, her sentence, and so her death, was stoning, as a retaliation of Naboth; for stoning was done two ways, both by casting down persons on stones, and by casting stones upon them, :-.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. So they threw her down] What a terrible death! She was already, by the fall, almost dashed to pieces; and the brutal Jehu trampled her already mangled body under his horse's feet!
