The Lord remember me

2 Kings 9:14-37
Jehu killed Joram , he said to his chariot office ,"Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth. Remember how you and I were riding together i chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord made this prophecy about him."
Jehu said to the horseman, "What do you have to do with peace?" He asked, "If this is the way you feel, don't let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.
Jehu also killed Ahaziah, they wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there.
When Jehu came to Jezreel, he looked up at the window and called out,"Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. "Throw her down!" Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot. When Jehu said "Take care of that cursed woman,"  they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. They went back and told Jehu, who said,"This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah."
Why?
Jehoram was a 'bad king', influenced by his wife Athaliah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel.
Ahaziah was another king who turned from God and went his own way. He reigned only one year in Judah.
Jehu was anointed as king of Israel, and he was followed what the Lord has said to him through prophet whom Elisha commanded.
Jehu didn't let Joram know what he wanted to do, Jehu attacked Joram under undefended situation.
How?
Everything is under the control of the Lord, the Lord remember the blood of innocent people and his servants.
The Lord remember me!
