Jehu

Jehu (; Hebrew: יֵהוּא, romanized: Yēhūʾ, meaning "Yah is He"; Akkadian: 𒅀𒌑𒀀, romanized: Yaua; Latin: Iehu) was the tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I, noted for exterminating the house of Ahab. He was the son of Jehoshaphat, grandson of Nimshi, and possibly great-grandson of Omri, although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text. His reign lasted 28 years. William F. Albright has dated Jehu's reign to 842–815 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 841–814 BCE. The principal source for the events of his reign comes from 2 Kings. Read more on Wikipedia
