תלמוד על סנהדרין 1:6

A king of Israel and a king of Jehudah are both equal, neither of them is greater than the other. What is the reason? The king of Israel and [Josaphat]¹⁰¹From B, missing in L. the king of Jehudah [were sitting]¹⁰¹From B, missing in L. in the threshing floor¹⁰⁸1K. 22:10.. As in a threshing floor¹⁰⁹They sat together in a circle (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:9) so that none had any advantage over the other. Babli Ḥulin 5a (Lev. rabba 11(8); Eccl. rabbati 1(30)).. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, but only up to Jehu ben Nimshi. What is the reason? Your descendants in the fourth generation will sit on the throne of Israel¹¹⁰2K. 15:12. Jeroboam became king with prophetic sanction; Baˋsha at least had prophetic acknowledgment; Omri was appointed by popular acclaim, and Jehu by prophetic anointment. All permanent kings of Israel from Jeroboam I to Jeroboam II’s son had religious sanction. After that the kings of Israel with only one exception murdered their precedessors.. After that they were taking it by robbery.
