2 Kings 10:29 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 10:29

27 Then they broke down the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the temple of Baal and ^amade it a refuse dump to this day.

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel.

29 However Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from ^athe golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan.

30 And the Lord ^asaid to Jehu, “Because you have done well in doing what is right in My sight, and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, ^byour sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart; for he did not depart from ^athe sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin.

Death of Jehu

32 In those days the Lord began to cut off parts of Israel; and ^aHazael conquered them in all the territory of Israel

33 from the Jordan eastward: all the land of Gilead—Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh—from ^aAroer, which is by the River Arnon, including ^bGilead and Bashan.
