Endnote 12 – Did King Jehu Kill His Own Family?

See Jerome T. Walsh, “Nimshi” in The Anchor Bible Dictionary, vol. 4, p. 1118. John Gray notes that while Nimshi may be the name of Jehu’s clan, it is attested as the name of an individual in fiscal dockets from Samaria at the time of Jeroboam II (I and II Kings: A Commentary [Philadelphia: The Westminster Press, 1963], p. 486).
