2 Kings 10:25-31
New International Version
2 Kings 10:25-31
New International Version
25 As soon as Jehu had finished making the burnt offering, he ordered the guards and officers: “Go in and kill(A) them; let no one escape.”(B) So they cut them down with the sword. The guards and officers threw the bodies out and then entered the inner shrine of the temple of Baal. 26 They brought the sacred stone(C) out of the temple of Baal and burned it. 27 They demolished the sacred stone of Baal and tore down the temple(D) of Baal, and people have used it for a latrine to this day.
28 So Jehu(E) destroyed Baal worship in Israel. 29 However, he did not turn away from the sins(F) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves(G) at Bethel(H) and Dan.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”(I) 31 Yet Jehu was not careful(J) to keep the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins(K) of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit.

2 Kings 10:25-31
King James Version
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
