📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 9th century BC, during the divided kingdom of Israel, Jehu had been anointed as king by God's prophet to overthrow the wicked dynasty of Ahab and eradicate Baal worship. He sent a letter to the elders and officials in Samaria, ordering them to kill Ahab's seventy sons as part of fulfilling divine judgment against Ahab's family for their idolatry and moral corruption. This brutal act occurred in Jezreel, marking a key moment in Israel's history of religious and political upheaval.
