God Rewards Obedience

Commentators highlight that God rewarded Jehu for executing His judgment on Ahab's house. Even though Jehu's personal motives may have been flawed, his actions aligned with God's will, and God honored that obedience. As one scholar notes, "no services done for God will go unrewarded," showing that God sees and rewards actions that fulfill His purposes, even when performed imperfectly.
