빗갈
Named at 2 Kings 9:25 as Jehu’s captain. At 9:24 Jehu draws his bow with his full strength, and strikes Joram between his arms; and the arrow goes out at his heart, and he sinks down in his chariot; 9:25 says, “Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, ‘Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite’”, and at 9:26 Jehu’s words go on, “Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.” The text does not say that Bidkar cast him there. The Korean Revised Version reads 그 시체를, the body, where WEB reads “him”.

21Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
22When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
23Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
24Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him:
26‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.”
