15 And he goeth thence, and findeth Jehonadab son of Rechab—to meet him, and blesseth him, and saith unto him, 'Is thy heart right, as my heart 'is' with thy heart?' and Jehonadab saith, 'It is;'—'Then it is; give thy hand;' and he giveth his hand, and he causeth him to come up into him into the chariot,

Commentary on 2 Kings 10:15-28
(Read 2 Kings 10:15-28)
Is thine heart right? This is a question we should often put to ourselves. I make a fair profession, have gained a reputation among men, but, is my heart right? Am I sincere with God? Jehonadab owned Jehu in the work, both of revenge and of reformation. An upright heart approves itself to God, and seeks no more than his acceptance; but if we aim at the applause of men, we are upon a false foundation. Whether Jehu looked any further we cannot judge. The law of God was express, that idolaters were to be put to death. Thus idolatry was abolished for the present out of Israel. May we desire that it be rooted out of our hearts.
