In 1 Kings 21:17-24, God prophesied through Elijah that judgement would come to Ahab, his wife Jezebel, and his descendants. Yet, twelve years later, Jezebel and Ahab’s descendants are still alive and ruling Israel and Judah. In 2 Kings 9, God anoints Jehu, a commander in Israel’s army, to be king and to be an instrument of His judgement. In this passage we see that God raises and removes kings in His time and in His way.
