Wesley's Notes for 2 Kings 9:26


9:24 The arrow - It was one of God's arrows, which he ordained against the persecutor.

9:27 He died - The history is briefly and imperfectly described here, and the defects supplied in (the book of Chronicles, is great part written for that end, to supply things omitted in the book of Kings) out of both it may be thus compleated: he fled first to Megiddo, and thence to Samaria, where he was caught, and thence brought to Jehu, and by his sentence was put to death at Megiddo.
