Old Testament
Bidkar
An officer under Jehu who witnessed the fulfillment of prophecy regarding Ahab's judgment.
Bidkar served as an officer or aide to Jehu during the coup against King Joram of Israel. He is mentioned only in 2 Kings 9:25, where he recalls hearing the Lord's prophecy against Ahab while they were casting Joram's body into Naboth's field. His presence confirms the divine orchestration of the judgment pronounced upon the house of Ahab.
