'Rule Over' in the Bible

During Jehoram's lifetime, Edom rebelled from Judah's hegemony and appointed a king to rule over themselves.

The Lord said to Jehu, "You have done well. You have accomplished my will and carried out my wishes with regard to Ahab's dynasty. Therefore four generations of your descendants will rule over Israel."

And the time of Jehu's rule over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

His assassination brought to fulfillment the Lord's word to Jehu, "Four generations of your descendants will rule over Israel." That is exactly what happened.
