According to the Hebrew Bible, Jehoshaphat was the father of King Jehu and the son of Nimshi. He is mentioned in 2 Kings 9:2, 2 Kings 9:14 and 2 Chronicles 22:9. There are some points in the Bible that Jehu is called the son of Nimshi only. [1] Amitai Baruchi-Unna suggests that he was Omri's grandson. [2]
Jehoshaphat (/ dʒ ə ˈ h ɒ ʃ ə f æ t /; alternatively spelled Jehosaphat, Josaphat, or Yehoshafat; Hebrew: יְהוֹשָׁפָט, Modern: Yəhōšafaṭ, Tiberian: Yŏhōšāp̄āṭ, "Yahweh has judged"; [1] Greek: Ἰωσαφάτ, romanized: Iosafát; Latin: Josaphat), according to the Hebrew Bible, was the son of Asa, and the fourth king of the Kingdom of Judah, in succession to his ...
He was the son of Jehoshaphat, [1] grandson of Nimshi, and possibly great-grandson of Omri, [2] although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text. His reign lasted 28 years. William F.

Some scholars have therefore taken the phrase to mean that Jehu was not the actual son of Nimshi, and that Nimshi was either the grandfather or ancestor of Jehu, or even that Jehu belonged to a clan named Nimshi. [1] Another possibility is that "son of Jehoshaphat" was a later addition, in which case Nimshi would be the father of Jehu. [1]

"Twenty-five years": in Thiele's chronology (improved by McFall), Jehoshaphat became coregent in Tishrei (September) 873 BCE (Thiele has 872 BCE, on the 39th year of Asa, his father), and starting to rule as a sole king between September 870 and April 869 BCE (when Asa died) until his death between April and September 848 BCE.
