("retribution".) 1. Son of Jabesh; 15th king of Israel. Smote Zachariah, son of Jeroboam II, openly before the people (showing that their sympathies were with him), and seized the kingdom (2Ki_15:9-10), thereby fulfilling the prophecy that Jehu's dynasty should last only to the fourth generation (2Ki_10:30). Slain after a month's reign by Menahem, illustrating the retributive law (Mat_26:52; Rev_13:10). 2. The prophetess Huldah's husband (2Ki_22:14); keeper of the priestly vestments (2Ch_34:22). 3. 1Ch_2:40-41 4.
