Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Joram turned his hand, and fled,.... Taking hold of the horses' reins with it to turn them, or by the motion of it directing the charioteer to turn them back towards Jezreel, whither he fled:

and said to Ahaziah, there is treachery, O Ahaziah; a conspiracy formed, and rebellion raised by the captains, at the head of which he supposed Jehu was.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Turned his hands - The meaning is that Joram ordered his charioteer to turn round and drive back to the town.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 9:23. There is treachery, O Ahaziah. — This was the first intimation he had of it: he feels for the safety of his friend Ahaziah, and now they fly for their lives.
