Commentary on 2 Kings 10:24

Theological / Devotional

To offer sacrifices. Every preparation had been made for the carrying out of the sacred rites of Baal in a sumptuous manner.

For the life of him. Human life was cheap for such a man as Jehu. He wanted his orders obeyed. If there was any carelessness in the carrying out of his commands, his own soldiers would lose their lives.
