The example of Jehu
Surely in this respect the example of Jehu himself, as mixed a character as he was, is well worthy both the attention and imitation of every serious Christian. And when he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. And he greeted him and said: Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? And Jehonadab answered: It is. If it is, give me your hand (2 Kings 10:15).

And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. And he saluted him and said, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand.
