 | | The reign of Jehu's predecessor, Jehoram, was marked by the Battle of Ramoth-Gilead against the army of the Arameans, where Jehoram was wounded and afterwards returned to Jezreel to recover, and where Ahaziah, the king of Judah and his nephew, had also gone to attend on Jehoram (2 Kings 8:28f). |
 | | The author of Kings describes, while the commanders of the army were assembled away from the eyes of the king, that the prophet Elisha visited this meeting, where he led Jehu away from his peers and anointed him king in an inner chamber, then immediately departed (2 Kings 9:5,6). |
 | | The king of Judah, when trying to escape, was fatally wounded by one of Jehu's soldiers at Beth-gan. |
