Charles Ellicott Commentary
"And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot." — 2 Kings 10:16 (ASV)
See. —Rather, look on at.
My zeal for the Lord. —Jehu addresses Jehonadab as a notoriously staunch adherent of the old faith.
They made him ride. —The Syriac, Septuagint, and Arabic read, “he made him ride;” the Vulgate is ambiguous; the Targum agrees with the Hebrew text, which may mean that Jehu’s followers assisted Jehonadab (who was probably an aged sheikh) to mount the chariot.
