Pada paginya keluarlah Yehu, berdirilah ia, lalu berkata kepada segenap orang banyak: "Kamu ini tidak bersalah. Memang akulah yang telah mengadakan persepakatan melawan tuanku dan telah membunuh dia; tetapi semua orang ini, siapakah yang membunuh mereka?
Maka pada pagi hari keluarlah Yehu, lalu berhenti sambil katanya kepada segenap orang banyak itu: Kamu sekalian tiada bersalah. Bahwasanya aku yang sudah bermufakat hendak mendurhaka kepada yang dipertuan dan aku yang sudah membunuh dia; maka siapa gerangan sudah membunuh sekalian ini?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people,.... Who were gathered together to this shocking sight, or on the above accounts:
ye be righteous; having had no concern in taking off the heads of those men:
behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; I own it, and some may blame me for it, and charge me with treason and murder:
but who slew all these? not he, but the chief men of Samaria, and therefore must be more guilty than he, having shed the blood of so many persons, who had not offended against God and man to so great a degree as Joram; this he said to lessen his own sin, and wipe off the reproach of it, that his character might appear fairer in the eyes of the people, concealing, at the same time, his orders for the slaying of them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ye be righteous - i. e., “Ye are just, and can judge aright.” Jehu unfairly keeps back the fact that he had commanded the execution.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 10:9. Ye be righteous — Another irony, intended partly to excuse himself, and to involve them in the odium of this massacre, and at the same time to justify the conduct of both, by showing that all was done according to the commandment of the Lord.
