2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 9:2 Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Jehu was described in 1 Kings 19:16 only as “son of Nimshi” (see also 2 Kings 9:20). Nimshi is actually his grandfather rather than his father (who is not the Judean king Jehoshaphat). It is unusual for the grandfather to be referred to in citations of this kind. Perhaps Nimshi was a particularly well-known person.
