2 Kings 9:22

What peace i.e. How can there be any peace, while the evil doings of Jezebel continue as great as before. By -whoredoms" the Scripture writers continually signify -the practice of idolatry" and that is probably the sense here. Cf. Exodus 34:15-16; Deuteronomy 31:6: Judges 8:27; Jeremiah 3:6 &c. -The witchcrafts" probably allude to the incantations and charms employed to obtain responses from the heathen gods. In Isaiah 47:9; Isaiah 47:12, where the word is rendered - sorceries", this is clearly the sense, and cf. also Micah 5:12 -I will cut off witchcraft", and in Nahum 3:4 Nineveh is called -the mistress of witchcrafts… that selleth families through her witchcrafts".
