jehu is an interesting agent for the LORD. he was anointed to rid Israel of the idolatrous plague of the House of Ahab and Jezebel, all of which was prophesied by God long before. But Jehu was never empowered by God to kill anyone in the king's household from Judah. King Ahaziah was indeed killed by Jehu. This was an act that he initiated. Was the Kingdom of Israel handed to him by God not enough - did he want the Kingdom of Judah, too?
We are to be servants of God. When god gives us something to do, we should remember that we are doing it for Him and His glory alone. it is too easy to think that God is blessing us for our kingdom building.
