SCRIPTURE

"And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king`s daughter." — 2 Kings 9:34 (ASV)

And when he was come in To the palace:

he did eat and drink ; to refresh himself after so long a march, and doing such execution:

and said, go see now this cursed woman ; who had been the means of bringing a curse on Israel through her idolatry, and upon Ahab and his family, and upon herself, body and soul, being cursed of God and of men:

and bury her ; forgetting the prophecy concerning her, though afterwards he remembered it:

for she is a king's daughter : the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, (1 Kings 16:31) and therefore, in honour to royal dignity, though a cursed woman, he ordered the interment of her; or "though" she is the daughter of one of the kings of the nations of the world, as Kimchi, yet honour must be given to whom it is due.
