Context Summary

2 Kings 9:27-37 - "the Word Of The Lord By Elijah"
Let us read again 1 Kings 21:23. How those words came back to the two men, who had heard them from the lips of God's servant years before! God's mills grind slowly, but to powder. In a deep sense Ahab's blood was licked by dogs, as it flowed from the gaping wounds of his son. As a man sows he reaps, and when his children follow his steps, they too reap. But Ezekiel makes it perfectly clear that a godly son may break the entail of his father's iniquities. See Ezekiel 18:1-32, which has a most important bearing on the modern doctrine of heredity.
Jezebel's heart was proud and unbroken. She thought to make the conqueror the slave of her charms. When these failed, she taunted him with the fate of Zimri, so closely associated with the rise of Ahab's family to the throne. His reign of seven days was thrown in Jehu's teeth, 1 Kings 16:15, etc. But Jezebel could not avert her fate. Her very chamberlains turned against her. How often does God's representative ask the same question, "Who is on my side?" Let us heed the challenge and dare to "look out" in answer! There is service appointed for us all, and we must not fail to render it. [source]
