In Jezreel. —The seat of the court.
His great men — i.e., high officials of his court; persons who owed their exaltation to him.
Relatives. —Rather, his friends (literally, his known ones; “familiares ejus”).
Priests. —See Notes on 2 Samuel 8:18; 1 Kings 4:5; 1 Chronicles 18:17.
None remaining. — No survivor.
