Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Jehu in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the name may appear transliterated in Greek texts of the Septuagint or New Testament references to Old Testament figures.

Usage: Jehu is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to several individuals, most notably Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, who became the tenth king of the northern kingdom of Israel.

Context: Jehu, Son of Jehoshaphat: Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi, is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible. He was anointed by the prophet Elisha to become king of Israel, as recorded in 2 Kings 9. Jehu's reign is marked by his zealous eradication of the house of Ahab and the worship of Baal in Israel. His actions fulfilled the prophecy given to Elijah concerning the downfall of Ahab's dynasty. Jehu's story is primarily found in 2 Kings 9-10, where he is depicted as a reformer who sought to restore the worship of Yahweh. However, his reign is also characterized by violence and bloodshed, as he executed Jezebel, the sons of Ahab, and the priests of Baal. Despite his initial zeal, Jehu did not fully turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, as he continued the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and Dan. His reign lasted for 28 years, and he was succeeded by his son Jehoahaz.
Other Individuals Named Jehu: The name Jehu also appears in other contexts within the Hebrew Bible, including a prophet during the reign of Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kings 16:1, 7), and a descendant of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:38).
