2 Kings 10:28 In-Context

26 They hauled out the sacred phallic stone from the temple of Baal and pulverized it.
27 They smashed the Baal altars and tore down the Baal temple. It's been a public toilet ever since.
28 And that's the story of Jehu's wasting of Baal in Israel.
29 But for all that, Jehu didn't turn back from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, the sins that had dragged Israel into a life of sin - the golden calves in Bethel and Dan stayed.
30 God commended Jehu: "You did well to do what I saw was best. You did what I ordered against the family of Ahab. As reward, your sons will occupy the throne of Israel for four generations."
