Read 2 Kings 10.15-36. In verse 15: Son of Rechab designates Jehonadab's clan rather than his father. The Rechabites were ascetics and strict devotees of the Lord (Yahweh). See Jer 35. In verse 24-25: Hosea 1.4 seems to condemn Jehu's bloodshed. In verse 32: The reigns of Jehu and his decedents were marked by the subjugation of Israel by Aram (Syria). See also 13.3. many of the stories about prophets earlier in 1 Kings seem to presuppose this political situation, which was not true under Omri dynasty. Comments or Questions..
