And when... drink. — Rather, And he went in (into the palace), and ate and drank. Jehu takes possession of the palace, having slain its former occupants. Savage warrior as he was, he forgot all about the victim of his violence until he had appeased the demands of his appetite. Then he could remember that even Jezebel was of royal rank, and perhaps a touch of remorse may be discerned in the mandate for her burial.
Go, see now. — Rather, Look, I pray, after.
This cursed woman. — Jehu was thinking of the curse pronounced on Jezebel by the prophet Elijah. (See next verse.)
She is a king’s daughter. — Compare 1 Kings 16:31.
