Who is this
Nimshi was the grandfather of Jehu, who became king of Israel (2 Kings 9:2). Jehu was often referred to as "the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi" (2 Kings 9:14, 20; 2 Chronicles 22:7). Nimshi's son Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehu. The prophet Elijah was instructed by God to anoint Jehu as king of Israel (1 Kings 19:16), a task that was later carried out by Elisha's servant (2 Kings 9:1-10). Jehu went on to overthrow the dynasty of Ahab and Jezebel, fulfilling the prophecies against them.
