SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:5
Y el mayordomo, y el presidente de la ciudad, y los ancianos, y los ayos, enviaron a decir a Jehú: Siervos tuyos somos, y haremos todo lo que nos mandares; no elegiremos por rey a ninguno; mas tú harás lo que bien te pareciere.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:5
Verse 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And he that was over the house , etc.] 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.
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?
