How do we know God's jealousy is a positive trait?

Answered in 1 source

God's jealousy ensures that His glory is not shared with others, affirming His sovereignty and righteousness.

In Nahum 1:2, the Scripture declares that 'God is jealous,' which signals His unwavering commitment to His own glory. Unlike human jealousy, which is often rooted in envy and sin, God’s jealousy is essentially a protective zeal for His honor. This attribute assures us that He will not allow His glory to be diminished or shared with false gods or idols. Such a description is crucial for understanding God’s nature; it signifies both His righteous anger against all that dishonors Him and His commitment to revealing Himself as the only true source of refuge. The jealousy of God is thus a source of comfort for believers, highlighting His faithfulness to those He loves.
