Read 2 Kings 9 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraphs:
9:1-28 {p} Jehu anointed king to fulfill YHVH’s word/ slew Jehoram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah
9:29-37 {p} Jehu slew Jezebel/ YHVH’s word fulfilled concerning her death
2 Kin 8:7-9:28 Chiastic structure:
YHVH is the keeper of His promises.
The Hebrew Root Word for “to promise” is just Strong’s H559 אמר amar, “to say.” If YHVH has said it, then it is a promise that He will keep. Amar, by the way, is the root of our English word “Amen:” Let is be as it has been said.
If there are questions, this is a good resource:
Amar, “to say,” Strong’s H559 – Christine Miller
