Notes

2 Kings 10:15

Jeremiah describes Jehonadab as the leader of desert nomads who protested against society's corrupt religion (Jeremiah 35). Recab was a Kenite (1 Chronicles 2:55). While most nomadic Kenites lived in southern Judah, some were in Galilee (Judges 4:17; 5:24). Their opposition to the royal family's unfaithfulness may have led them to support Jehu as a savior and reformer.

2 Kings 10:1–27

The writer highlights two key events during the time Jehu was king:

Jehu killed everyone who might claim Joram’s throne (2 Kings 10:1–17), and
Jehu executed the priests of Baal (2 Kings 10:18–27).
