Jehu said to Bidkar his officer The name "Jehu" means "Yahweh is He" in Hebrew, signifying his divine appointment and mission. Jehu was anointed by a prophet to become king and execute judgment on the house of Ahab. "Bidkar" is mentioned only here, indicating his role as a trusted officer. The term "officer" suggests a position of authority and responsibility, highlighting the military and political context of Jehu's actions. Pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite For remember how you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father when the LORD uttered this prophecy against him Bidkar.--The Syriac gives Bar-d?kar, "son of stabbing," i.e., "stabber," "slayer" a very suitable name for Jehu's squire. The Hebrew name is, therefore, a contraction of Ben-dekar. (Comp. Bedan, "son of Dan," i.e., Danite, 1Samuel 12:11; and Bedad, "son of Hadad," in 1Chronicles 1:46.) Captain.--Adjutant, aide-de-camp, chief (2Kings 7:2). Remember how that, when I and thou rode together.--This gives the sense of the Hebrew correctly. Literally, remember thou me and thee riding together. The word rendered "together" probably means riding side by side on horseback in attendance on the king. The Targum, vulg., and Kimchi interpret, riding together in the same chariot; Josephus, riding together in Ahab's chariot behind him. The Lord laid this burden upon him.--Rather, Jehovah uttered this (prophetic) utterance upon (i.e., about) him. (Comp. the oracle uttered by Elijah against Ahab when taking possession of Naboth's vineyard, 1Kings 21:17, seq., 1Kings 21:29.) . . . Verse 25. - Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain; literally, his thirdsman; Keil renders "his aide-de-camp," probably one of those who was in his chariot with him - Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. "Take up the body," i.e. "and cast it into the plot of ground which once belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite, and was forfeited to the crown at his death (1 Kings 21:15), and taken possession of by Ahab" (1 Kings 21:16). The reason for the order follows. For remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him. The LXX. have μνημονεύω, "I remember;" but the Hebrew text is זכר, not אזכר "Remember" (imperative mood) is the correct translation. Jehu recalls his captain's recollection to an occurrence which was deeply impressed upon his own. "When thou and I rode together after Ahab" probably means "when we two stood behind Ahab in his chariot." The Assyrian sculptures usually represent the monarch as attended by two body-guards, who ride in the same chariot with him, standing up behind him, and often interposing their shields to protect his person. In this near proximity Jehu and Bidkar would hear any speech which was addressed to Ahab. By a "burden" is meant a sentence of punishment (comp. Isaiah 13:1; Isaiah 15:1; Isaiah 17:1; etc.; Nahum 1:1, etc.).Parallel Commentaries ...
