Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he that was over the house,.... The king's palace in Samaria, who had the custody, care, and government of it:

and he that was over the city; the commander and governor of it, that had the highest post in it under the king;

the elders also all other subordinate officers and magistrates:

and the bringers up of the children; who had the education of the king's sons committed to them:

sent to Jehu, saying, we are thy servants, and will do all that thou shall bid us. They were ready to do homage, and swear allegiance to him as their king, and obey all his commands as faithful subjects:

we will not make any king; or set up any on the throne, no, not any of the sons or grandsons of Ahab:

do thou that which is good in thine eyes, we will never oppose thee.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The officer who had the charge of the place (1 Kings 4:6 note) and the governor of the town (1 Kings 22:26 note) seem to correspond to the “rulers” of 2 Kings 10:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 10:5. He that was over the house, &c. — Thus all the constituted authorities agreed to submit.

Will do all that thou shalt bid us — They made no conditions, and stood pledged to commit the horrid murders which this most execrable man afterwards commanded.
