SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:30
Y el SEÑOR dijo a Jehú: Por cuanto has hecho bien, ejecutando lo recto delante de mis ojos (conforme a todo lo que estaba en mi corazón has hecho a la casa de Acab), tus hijos se sentarán en el trono de Israel hasta la cuarta generación.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:30
Verse 30. Thy children of the fourth generation] These four descendants of Jehu were Jehoahaz, Jehoash, Jeroboam the second, and Zechariah; see chap. 14 and 15. This was all the compensation Jehu had in either world, as a recompense of his zeal for the Lord.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And the Lord said unto Jehu , etc.] By a prophet, he not being one himself; and this is generally supposed, by the Jews f120 , to be Jonah the son of Amittai: because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes : in rooting out the idolatry of Baal, which was right in the sight of God, and was materially a good work, though it might not be done from a good principle, nor every step taken in doing it justifiable: and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart : that he had decreed within himself should be done, and had foretold by his prophets would be done, the doing of which was acceptable and well pleasing to him: thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel ; as they did, namely, Jehoahaz, Joash, Jeroboam, and Zachariah, though the last reigned but six months, just enough to fulfil this promise.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-36 - It is justly questionable whether Jehu acted from a good principle, an whether he did not take some false steps in doing it; yet no service done for God shall go unrewarded. But true conversion is not only from gross sin, but from all sin; not only from false gods, but from fals worships. True conversion is not only from wasteful sins, but from gainful sins; not only from sins which hurt our worldly interests, but from those that support and befriend them; in forsaking which is the great trial whether we can deny ourselves and trust God. Jehu showe great care and zeal for rooting out a false religion, but in the tru religion he cared not, took no heed to please God and do his duty Those that are heedless, it is to be feared, are graceless. The people were also careless, therefore it is not strange that in those days the Lord began to cut Israel short. They were short in their duty to God therefore God cut them short in their extent, wealth, and power __________________________________________________________________
