2 Kings 10:15

Verse 2 Kings 10:15. Jehonadab the son of Rechab] For particulars concerning this man, his ancestry, and posterity, see the notes on Jeremiah 35.

Is thine heart right] With me, in the prosecution of a reform in Israel; as my heart is with thy heart in the true religion of Jehovah, and the destruction of Baal?

It is.] I wish a reform in the religion of the country; I am his friend who shall endeavour to promote it.

Give me thine hand.] This has been generally considered as exacting a promise from Jehonadab; but does it mean any more than his taking him by the hand, to help him to step into his chariot, in which Jehu was then sitting? Jehonadab was doubtless a very honourable man in Israel; and by carrying him about with him in his chariot, Jehu endeavoured to acquire the public esteem. "Jehu must be acting right, for Jehonadab is with him, and approves his conduct."
