Da sprach Joram: Spanne an! Und man spannte seinen Wagen an, und sie zogen aus, Joram, der König von Israel, und Ahasia, der König von Juda, jeder auf seinem Wagen; sie fuhren Jehu entgegen, und sie trafen ihn auf dem Acker Nabots, des Jesreeliten.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Joram said, make ready,.... The chariot, put to the horses; bind them, as the word signifies, to the chariot:

and his chariot was made ready; by his servants immediately:

and Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; not both in the same chariot, but each in his own, for the sake of greater magnificence:

and they went out against Jehu; not in an hostile manner, for they had no notion of him as an enemy; though it is much they had no suspicion of him by his detaining the messengers; but Joram perhaps thought he was desirous of delivering his message himself; and in honour to him, and also being eager to know what it was, went out to meet him:

and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite; which had been his, and where, or near it, he was stoned, and his blood shed; a very inauspicious place to meet him in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Make ready - literally, (as in margin) “Blind,” i. e., “Harness the horses to the chariot.” The king had no suspicion of Jehu’s treason. Probably he imagined that he was bringing him important news from the seat of war. Ahaziah’s accompanying him is significant of the close friendship which united the uncle and the nephew. They went out not “against” Jehu, but rather “to meet him.”

In the portion of Naboth - This is no longer called a “vineyard” 1 Kings 21:1-18; probably because it had been thrown into the palace garden, and applied to the purpose for which Ahab originally wanted it. The approach to the city on this side must have lain either through it, or close by it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 9:21. Joram - and Ahaziah - went out — They had no suspicion of what was done at Ramoth-gilead; else they would not have ventured their persons as they now did.
