SIL Translator’s Notes on 2 Kings 9:31

9:31a And as Jehu entered the gate,

When Jehu came through the gateway,

-or-

Jehu passed through the gate ⌊of the city⌋ .

9:31b she asked, “Have you come in peace,

Jezebel asked him, “Is there really peace ⌊between us (incl.) ⌋ ?

-or-

Jezebel saw him and shouted out/down, “What peace do you bring?

9:31c O Zimri, murderer of your master?”

This recalls the story of another military leader who, 45 years earlier, had killed his own master in an attempt to take power. See 1 Kings 16:8–20.

You are ⌊another⌋ Zimri, you killer of your master!”

-or-

You are ⌊just like⌋ Zimri, who killed his master!”
