Contextual Overview

1 Now Elisha the man of God called one of the sons of those who spoke for God. He said to him, "Get ready to travel. Take this jar of oil and go to Ramoth-gilead. 2 When you get there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi. Go in and have him come away from his brothers. Bring him into a room in the house. 3 Then take the jar of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘The Lord says, "I have chosen you to be the king of Israel."' Then open the door and run. Do not wait." 4 So the young servant of the man of God went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he came, he found the captains of the army sitting there. He said, "I have something to tell you, O captain." And Jehu said, "Which one of us?" And he said, "You, O captain." 6 So he got up and went into the house. He poured the oil on Jehu's head and said to him, "The Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have chosen you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. 7 You are to destroy the house of your owner Ahab, so that I will punish Jezebel for the blood of My servants who speak for God, and the blood of all the Lord's servants. 8 The whole family of Ahab must be destroyed. And I will destroy every male person in Israel who belongs to Ahab, both the servants and those who are free. 9 I will make the family of Ahab like the family of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 The dogs will eat Jezebel in the land of Jezreel. No one will bury her.'" Then he opened the door and ran away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel,.... Or in the field of Jezreel; the Targum is, the inheritance of Jezreel; this is also threatened, 1 Kings 21:23

and [there shall be] none to bury her; or nothing of her to bury, as Kimchi, all being eaten up but her skull, feet, and the palms of her hands, see 2 Kings 9:35

and he opened the door, and fled; that is, the young man of the sons of the prophets, as soon as he had said the above words, as he was ordered, lest he should be taken up for a traitor.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 9:10. The dogs shall eat Jezebel — How most minutely was this prophecy fulfilled! See 2 Kings 9:33, &c.
