Context

Jehoahaz Succeeds Jehu in Israel

³⁵And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.³⁶So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

Summary

This verse highlights the reign of Jehu over Israel, which lasted for 28 years. Despite his zeal in executing judgment on the house of Ahab and destroying idolatry in the land, Jehu did not follow God's commandments wholeheartedly like King David. His reign marked a period of temporary relief from the threat of foreign invasion, but it did not bring lasting spiritual revival to the nation. Ultimately, Jehu's legacy serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God's word in leadership.
