first_o because_o though_o jehu_n do_v it_o yet_o he_o rather_o look_v at_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o end_n than_o at_o god_n in_o it_o his_o aim_n be_v to_o get_v the_o kingdom_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o never_o aim_v at_o god_n in_o the_o work_n therefore_o god_n say_v he_o will_v avenge_v it_o upon_o his_o house_n 2._o because_o though_o he_o do_v that_o which_o god_n set_v he_o about_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o but_o by_o half_n indeed_o he_o destroy_v ahab_n house_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v destroy_v ahab'_v idolatry_n too_o but_o he_o do_v not_o do_v that_o and_o therefore_o now_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o yea_o 3._o 3._o though_o he_o be_v make_v ahab_n executioner_n for_o his_o idolatry_n yet_o he_o prove_v ahab_n successor_n in_o his_o idolatry_n he_o be_v god_n rod_n in_o punish_v ahab_n but_o he_o yet_o continue_v in_o the_o sin_n that_o ahab_n do_v commit_v therefore_o now_o god_n say_v he_o will_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o jezreel_n upon_o the_o house_n of_o jehu_n from_o hence_o we_o have_v most_o excellent_a observation_n that_o do_v spring_v natural_o as_o a_o fountain_n bubble_v up_o fresh_a and_o spring_a water_n i_o will_v but_o only_o show_v they_o
