It is primarily known as the grandfather of Jehu, who became the king of Israel. The name Nimshi itself does not carry a specific meaning in the biblical text, but it is associated with the lineage of Jehu, a significant figure in Israel's history.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Nimshi is mentioned in the context of the Northern Kingdom of Israel during a tumultuous period marked by idolatry and political upheaval. Jehu, Nimshi's grandson, was anointed by the prophet Elisha to become king and tasked with eradicating the house of Ahab and the worship of Baal from Israel. This period is characterized by divine intervention in the leadership of Israel, as God sought to restore the nation to covenant faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>grandfather of Jehu<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Nimshi (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נִמְשִׁי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grandfather of Jehu</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/9-2.htm">2 Kings 9:2,14</a>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יֵהוּא בֶןנֿ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/19-16.htm">1 Kings 19:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/9-20.htm">2 Kings 9:20</a>; 2Chronicles 22:7; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ναμεσθει</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ναμες</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ς</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ει</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">נֵס</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נסס</font>. <font class="hebrew2">נְסִבָּה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">סבב</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">נְסָה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נשׂא</font>.
