2 Kings 10:36
34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
35 And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
