וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־יֵה֗וּא יַ֤עַן אֲשֶׁר־הֱטִיבֹ֙תָ֙ לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת הַיָּשָׁר֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י כְּכֹל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּלְבָבִ֔י עָשִׂ֖יתָ לְבֵ֣ית אַחְאָ֑ב בְּנֵ֣י רְבִעִ֔ים יֵשְׁב֥וּ לְךָ֖ עַל־כִּסֵּ֥א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
永恆者對耶戶說：「因為你做得好，行了我眼中看為正的事，照著我心中所想的一切對待了亞哈家，所以你的子孫必坐在以色列的王位上，直到第四代。」
Jerusalem Talmud Horayot
A king of Israel and a king of Jehudah are both equal, neither of them is greater than the other. What is the reason? The king of Israel and [Josaphat]101From B, missing in L. the king of Jehudah [were sitting]101From B, missing in L. in the threshing floor1081K. 22:10.. As in a threshing floor109They sat together in a circle (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:9) so that none had any advantage over the other. Babli Ḥulin 5a (Lev. rabba 11(8); Eccl. rabbati 1(30)).. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, but only up to Jehu ben Nimshi. What is the reason? Your descendants in the fourth generation will sit on the throne of Israel1102K. 15:12. Jeroboam became king with prophetic sanction; Baˋsha at least had prophetic acknowledgment; Omri was appointed by popular acclaim, and Jehu by prophetic anointment. All permanent kings of Israel from Jeroboam I to Jeroboam II’s son had religious sanction. After that the kings of Israel with only one exception murdered their precedessors.. After that they were taking it by robbery.
