‏ 2 Kings 9:7-10

v. 7-10: The prophet told Jehu that his main mission was to destroy the house of Ahab, as judgment for killing God’s prophets and servants. Jehu was to carry out God’s sentence, just as had been done to the families of Jeroboam and Baasha. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, would also be punished and her body would be eaten by dogs (2 Kings 9:7-10 a). This was God’s way of showing that He remembers the suffering of His people and will bring justice.

After delivering the message, the young prophet quickly left, as he had been instructed. Jehu was left to think about what had happened and to seek God’s guidance for what to do next.
