	Jehu
		Jehu was immediately acclaimed king by his brother officers, and he forthwith set out in his chariot with his followers for Jezrahel, where Ozochias, King of Juda, was visiting his ally Joram.
		Entering the town of Jezrahel, Jehu perceived the Queen Jezabel at a window of her palace, and he bade her attendants to cast her down headlong and she was trampled under the hoofs of the horses (III Kings, xxi, 23).
		Consistently with his programme of vengeance, Jehu caused the seventy sons of Achab who resided in Samaria to be put to death, and likewise all of the chief men and friends and priests of the house of Achab, as well as forty-two men of the brethren of Ozochias.

		Jehu was now master of Jezreel, whence he communicated with the persons in authority in Samaria the capital, commanding them to appear before him on the morrow with the heads of all the royal princes of Samaria.
		Notwithstanding all this apparent zeal for the worship of Jehovah, Jehu yet tolerated the worship of the golden calves at Dan and Bethel.

		Jehu (יְהוּא "The LORD is he", Standard Hebrew Yəhu, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhû) was king of Israel, and the son of Jehoshaphat (2 Kings 9:2), and grandson of Nimshi.
		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).
		Jehu's revolt was rooted in more than his quest for power and the favor of Yahweh.

		Jehu begins in the record of Bible History as a soldier in King Ahab's army, however God commanded Elijah to anoint him king over Israel, which was later done through Elisha, who was designated by God as Elijah's successor at the same time (1 Kings 19:16).

	Jehu - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Jehu's companions were naturally eager to know what had happened, and on learning that Jehu had been anointed king, they at once improvised a throne by throwing their garments on the top of some steps, blew the trumpet, and proclaimed, "Jehu is king." Not a moment was lost.
		Jehu had secured on his side the support of a notable man--Jehonadab the son of Rechab (2 Kings 10:15,16; compare Jeremiah 35:6-19)--and his entrance into Samaria was signalized by further slaying of all adherents of Ahab.
		Jehu is not mentioned in Chronicles, except incidentally in connection with the death of Ahaziah (2 Chronicles 22:9), and as the grandfather of Jehoash (2 Chronicles 25:17).

	King Jehu - Biography
		King Jehu, the tenth king of the separate kingdom of Israel, was raised to power by God's action, for the specific purpose of exterminating evil King Ahab's heirs, as Elijah had prophesied following the scandal of Naboth's vineyard.
		Jehu had eliminated Ahab's heirs; now he was determined to eliminate his evil legacy — the cult of Baal worship.
		Jehu announced that he intended to sponsor a bigger and better Baal worship than Ahab ever had, and his innovations were to be inaugurated at a huge festival.

	Solution to the Jehu Problem
		Jehu and his dynasty continued and promoted "the sins of Jeroboam," i.e., worship of the golden calves, in Israel, and this was the chief cause of the divine judgment visited upon the northern kingdom, as repeatedly pointed out in the books of Kings and Chronicles.
		If Hosea was condemning Jehu for that massacre in Hosea 1:4, he would be treating it only as a barbaric act of Jehu to usurp the throne of Israel, which is entirely a private matter between the house of Jehu and the house of Ahab.
		Jehu, too, followed the sins of Jeroboam and, in the light of the foregoing, the reader will now be able to better appreciate the implied judgment in 2 Kings 10:30.

	[No title]
		Jehu is commended by YHWH for executing the house of Ahab in 2 Kings 10.30:
		“Jehu was given a twofold divine commission: (1) he was to annihilate all the wicked and apostate house of Ahab, and (2) he was to avenge the blood that Jezebel had shed of the prophets of Yahweh.
		Jehu, furthermore, extended this massacre to all the friends of the ruling family (2 Kings 10:11)…The point is most evident that divine approval for an act does not thereby carry with it indifference as to how that act is accomplished and how many others it may involve.

		Jehu understood that God hated the harlotries and witchcraft that fed and promoted the spirits of idolatry in the land, yet he did not truly hate them to the point of eradicating all of the evil.

	The Jehu Solution
		The issue is that in 2 Kings 10:30, God commended Jehu for obeying his command to kill the entire house of Ahab, yet in Hosea 1:4, it seems as if God was condemning Jehu for the massacre.
		The apologists assume that Hosea 1:4 must be an indication that Jehu somehow committed a sin during the slaughter of the house of Ahab at Jezreel.
		Plus, Jehu's deeds were considered mighty by the author of 2 Kings which would seem to indicate that Jehu's deeds at Jezreel and Samaria were regarded as heroic by later generations up until 2nd Kings was written.

	Jehu: Hosea vs. 2 Kings
		Jehu is not praised for having "done well" because of his actions related to the house of Ahab.
		This is appropriate, for it caps the account of the Baal-bash, in which the Kings writer recounts the destruction of the priests of Baal, and specifically the destruction of the sacred stone of Baal and the dismantling of the temple of Baal for later use as a Port-a-Potty.
		Jehu acted outside his commission, and in terms of the mindset under which this was written, there is neither error nor contradiction involved.
