Summary
Updated 2026-06-10
The king who took power in a coup and turned the throne into an executioner's platform — erasing an entire royal line in blood. His 28-year reign is remembered not for what he built but for whom he killed.
Biography
About
Jehu was the tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel, son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. He ruled from roughly 842 to 815 BCE, a reign that lasted 28 years. The defining act: he exterminated the house of Ahab, wiping out the previous dynasty. The principal record of these events survives in 2 Kings. What followed the purge was decades on the throne, power secured by the blade that won it.
