📚 Historical Context
This occurred around 841 BC when Jehu, anointed by God through the prophet Elisha, carried out divine judgment against the house of Ahab. Ahab and his wife Jezebel had led Israel into idol worship and persecution of God's prophets, bringing God's promised curse upon their lineage. Jehu was executing the prophecy given earlier by Elijah that Ahab's dynasty would be completely destroyed.
