This Jehu was the son of that faithful prophet whom Asa his father put into prison for his faithfulness. A worthy son of so worthy a father. But let us remark rather the grace and mercy of the Lord towards Jehoshaphat. The Lord saved him in the day of battle, though the wrath of the Lord was upon him, as it is said. Reader! it is precious to behold how the Lord in the midst of judgment remembers mercy. Sweetly the Psalmist views this in his penitential supplication. If thou Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand! But there is mercy, there is Jesus with thee. His blood and righteousness plead when iniquities testify against his children: Psalms 130:3-19.
