מלכים ב, פרק י׳, פסוק ל״ה

The conclusion of a king's rule naturally involves his burial and the passing of the crown to the next generation. As Jehu's reign comes to a close, power is officially transferred to his son, Jehoahaz. The primary approach among commentators is that identifying Samaria as the king's final resting place carries a specific purpose. It emphasizes that the city remained his established capital, serving as the center of his kingdom right up until the end of his days.
