Summary
JEHU AND HIS SUCCESSORS
The rebellion of Jehu in Israel in 841 B.C. introduced a new dynasty, effectively the fourth since the division of the Kingdom, and this lasted for nearly a century through five reigns, almost to within twenty years of the end of the northern kingdom. Though this event may not have marked an absolute break with the past, changes in material culture increased from this time, and the very strong Phoenician influence which had been known since the time of Solomon declined. The close ties of the previous decades with Judah were also weakened, and indeed for the next six years the Phoenician element was stronger in the south than in the north, because the queen mother, Athaliah, when she heard of the death of her son Ahaziah, seized power, slaughtering, as she thought, all the survivors of the Davidic line, and ruling for half a decade. In fact, she was not thorough enough, and one of her daughters was able to rescue and conceal a son of Ahaziah, called Jehoash, who was a small baby, only about one year old, at the time (II Ki. 11: 1–3).
Athaliah is designated ‘daughter of Omri’ (bat-'omrî) in the Old Testament (II Ki. 8: 26; II Chron. 22: 2), but her husband Jehoram is described as being married to a daughter of Ahab (bat-'ah'ab (II Ki. 8: 18; II Chron. 21: 16)) so, unless the latter reference indicates that Jehoram was married also to an unnamed daughter of Ahab, it must mean that she is also described as the daughter of Ahab.
