2 Kings 9Who is responsible for the deaths of these kings, and Jezebel? An inscription at Tel Dan claims that the king of Syria did it. This passage says it was Jehu. But the prediction – particularly of how they would die – goes all the way back to Elijah. Ultimately, these enemies of God and his people were doomed by God himself. But he did not arbitrarily set them apart for destruction. It was their own sins that caught up with them on that dark day.
LORD, forgive us and cleanse us. Separate us from our sins so that they do not come back to meet us on a dark day – your day of judgment.
