Mfalme Yehu

Mfalme Yehu (kwa Kiebrania יֵהוּא, Yēhû, maana yake: "YHWH ni mwenyewe"Meaning of Jehu - History and Origin  – Meaning of "Jehu", Hebrew name, Meaning-of-Names.com.) alikuwa mfalme wa kumi wa Ufalme wa Israeli baada ya Yehoramu bin Ahabu.

Ni maarufu kwa kuangamiza ukoo mzima wa Omri, baba Ahabu, ili kuokoa imani ya Mungu pekee iliyokaribia kutoweka kwa juhudi za malkia Yezebeli. Hivyo alikamilisha kazi ya manabii Elia na Elisha.

Hata hivyo Biblia inamlaumu kama waandamizi wote wa Yeroboamu I kwa kuvumilia mahekalu mbadala ya huko Beteli na Dani. 

Alikuwa mwana wa Yehoshafati,Jehu's father was not the roughly contemporaneous King Jehoshaphat of Judah, whose own father was King Asa of Judah. "Generally Jehu is described as the son only of Nimshi, possibly because Nimshi was more prominent or to avoid confusing him with the King of Judah (R’Wolf)". Scherman, Nosson, ed., "I–II Kings", The Prophets, 297, 2006. See () na mjukuu wa Nimshi.
