Who he was

Jehu, the son of Hanani, was a prophet who lived during the reigns of Baasha, king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. He delivered a message from God to Baasha, condemning him for his evil ways and announcing the downfall of his dynasty. Later, Jehu rebuked Jehoshaphat for his alliance with Ahab, the wicked king of Israel. He warned Jehoshaphat that his actions had brought God's wrath upon him. Jehu also wrote a record of the events during Jehoshaphat's reign, which was included in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
