Commentary
2 Kings 9 is a chapter that tells the story of the rise of Jehu, a commander of the army of Israel, to the throne of Israel. Jehu was anointed by the prophet Elisha to be the king of Israel, and he was given a mission to destroy the house of Ahab, the previous king of Israel. Jehu was successful in his mission, and he killed Ahab's sons, as well as the queen mother, Jezebel. The chapter also tells of the death of Jehu's predecessor, Jehoram, who was killed by Jehu's men.

This was a significant event in the history of Israel, as it marked the end of the house of Ahab and the beginning of a new era in Israel.
