Throw her down. — Comp. Note on 1 Chronicles 13:9.
Was sprinkled on. — Spirted on to.
He trode her under foot. — All the versions have they — i.e., the horses — trode. Thenius supposes they were excited by the blood being sprinkled upon them. But “he” — i.e., Jehu — “trode her under foot,” plainly means, he drove over her fallen body. Ewald goes beyond the text in stating that Jehu spurned her with his own feet. (For the verb, comp. 2 Kings 7:20.)
