Jehu (; Hebrew: יֵהוּא, romanized: Yēhūʾ, meaning "Yah is He"; Neo-Assyrian Akkadian: 𒅀𒌑𒀀, romanized: Yaua; Latin: Iehu) was the tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I, noted for exterminating the house of Ahab. He was the son of Jehoshaphat, grandson of Nimshi, and possibly great-grandson of Omri, although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text.
