SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:14
Entonces él dijo: Prendedlos vivos. Y después que los tomaron vivos, los degollaron junto al pozo de la casa de esquileo, cuarenta y dos varones, sin dejar ninguno de ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:14
Verse 14. The pit of the shearing house] Probably the place where they washed the sheep previously to shearing, or the fleeces after they were shorn off.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he said, take them alive , etc.] Gave orders to his guards to seize them, and make them captives: and they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house ; where they washed the sheep when they sheered them; [even] forty and two men, neither left he any of them ; they being, by their grandmother’s side, of the house of Ahab, and so within the commission of Jehu to slay them, at least as he thought; though his chief view might be, lest they should make any pretensions to the crown, being descended from that house, or should hereafter attempt to avenge the death of their relations; but by the judgment of God they were cut off as idolaters.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - In the most awful events, though attended by the basest crimes of man the truth and justice of God are to be noticed; and he never did no can command any thing unjust or unreasonable. Jehu destroyed all tha remained of the house of Ahab; all who had been partners in his wickedness. When we think upon the sufferings and miseries of mankind when we look forward to the resurrection and last judgment, and thin upon the vast number of the wicked waiting their awful sentence of everlasting fire; when the whole sum of death and misery has bee considered, the solemn question occurs, Who slew all these? The answe is, SIN. Shall we then harbour sin in our bosoms, and seek for happiness from that which is the cause of all misery?
