How preachers through history handled this text
6 public-domain excerpts on 2 Kings 9, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Jehu was a man of eager spirit. The wisdom of God is seen in the choice of those employed in his work. But it is not for any man's reputation to be known by his fury. He that has rule over his own spirit, is better than the mighty. Joram met Jehu in the portion of Naboth. The circumstances of events are sometimes ordered by Divine Providence to make the punishment answer to the sin, as face answers to face in a glass. The way of sin can never be the way of peace, Isa 57:21. What peace can sinners have with God? …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Kings 9:16–29 (Public Domain)
