The conclusion of a king's reign often prompts a final reflection on his legacy, pointing those seeking more information to official historical records. The summary of Jehu’s rule directs the reader to these complete accounts. The remaining details of his life, his actions, and his military strength encompass the full scope of his time as king, all of which were formally documented in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
A small detail arises regarding the exact record of Jehu's strength. An early Aramaic translation implies that older versions of the text might have simply mentioned his might without emphasizing the full extent of it. However, this slight variation is not found in any known biblical manuscripts today [מנחת שי].
