Jehu was not a direct “son of Omri, ” but this expression was used to designate successive kings of Israel, likely because of Omri’s fame and his building of Israel’s capital, Samaria.
Jehus nebija Omrija dēls, bet šādi mēdza dēvēt Izraēlas ķēniņus, jo Omrijs bija uzcēlis Izraēlas galvaspilsētu Samariju un iemantojis lielu slavu.
