2 Kings 9:25-26

9:25 Jehu ordered ¹  his officer Bidkar, “Pick him up and throw him into the part of the field that once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Remember, you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, when the Lord pronounced this judgment on him, 9:26 ‘“Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday,” says the Lord, “and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land,” ²  says the Lord.’ So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the Lord said.” ³ 

2 Kings 9:30

9:30 Jehu approached Jezreel. When Jezebel heard the news, she put on some eye liner, ⁴  fixed up her hair, and leaned out the window.

[9:25]  ¹ tn Heb “said to.”

[9:26]  ² tn Heb “and I will repay you in this plot of land.”

[9:26]  ³ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord.”

[9:30]  ³ tn Heb “she fixed her eyes with antimony.” Antimony (פּוּךְ, pukh) was used as a cosmetic. The narrator portrays her as a prostitute (see Jer 4:30), a role she has played in the spiritual realm (see the note at v. 22).
