As Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the people placed their garments in the road for him to ride over as a sign of honor. What Old Testament king also had garments placed on the ground before him? What kind of king was he (spiritual evaluation)?
Answer: Jehu was the 11th king of the northern kingdom of Israel. The people placed their garments on the steps before him as the announcement was made that he was the new king. He did not follow God with all his heart, but instead followed after the sins of Jeroboam who led Israel into idolatry. (II Kings 9:11-13; 10:29-31)
