Strong's Lexicon Yehu: Jehu Original Word: יֵהוּא Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of the Tetragrammaton, and הוּא (hu), meaning "He is." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jehu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Jehu is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Jehu means "Yahweh is He" or "The LORD is He." In the Bible, Jehu is primarily known as the tenth king of the northern kingdom of Israel. He is anointed by a prophet to execute judgment on the house of Ahab and eradicate Baal worship from Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehu's reign is set during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, marked by idolatry and political instability. He is noted for his zealous reforms and his role in fulfilling the prophetic word against the house of Ahab. Jehu's actions are seen as a divine intervention to restore the worship of Yahweh, although his methods and the extent of his reforms are subjects of debate among scholars.
