2. Jezreel
a ) At God's command, the prophet Hosea named his first son Jezreel. The
name is symbolic and signifies the slaughter that God would bring on the
house of Jehu for the bloodshed at Jezreel (Hosea 1:4). Jezreel is a
valley in northern Israel where Jehu brought the dynastry of Omni to an
end through bloodshed (2 Kings 9). This happened about 100 years before
the birth of Hosea's son, Jezreel. Jehu's dynasty did come to an end
with his great-great-grandson, Jeroboam 2, who was a unlawful ruler.
