And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
Ver. 31. She said, Had Zimri peace?] Or, O Zimri - so she calleth Jehu, his master's murderer, - shall it be peace? thinkest thou to carry it away clear thus? She thought, haply, that being a woman she might say anything, Hecuba-like; and that Jehu would not meddle with her: but he had a particular charge about her, 2 Kings 9:7 ; 2Ki 9:10 and his case was not Zimri's, who came quickly to an ill end indeed; as did also Phocas, who had stewed his master Mauricius in his own broth, and was himself killed piecemeal.
