2 Kings 10:25 BSB — MannaFest

2 Kings 10:25

When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.

And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

As soon as he had made an end of offering - The actual sacrificers were no doubt the priests of Baal; but Jehu is considered to have made the offering, since he furnished the victims. Compare 1Ki 8:62-63. The guard - literally, “the runners.” This name seems to have been given to the royal body-guard as early as the time of Saul (1Sa 22:17, margin). It was their duty to run by the side of the king’s chariot as he moved from plaze to place.
