2 Kings 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:6

Nevertheless, they departed not from the sins of the house of
Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked therein
Continued to worship the calves still, which was an instance of great ingratitude; the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "he departed not"; Jehoahaz the king:

and there remained the grove in Samaria;
which Ahab made there, ( 1 Kings 16:33 ) , neither Jehu nor his son had it cut down, though Baal was destroyed.

2 Kings 13:6 In-Context

4 Then Jehoahaz begged the Lord, and the Lord listened to him. The Lord had seen the troubles of Israel; he saw how terribly the king of Aram was treating them.

5 He gave Israel a man to save them, and they escaped from the Arameans. The Israelites then lived in their own homes as they had before,

6 but they still did not stop doing the same sins that the family of Jeroboam had done. He had led Israel to sin, and they continued doing those sins. The Asherah idol also was left standing in Samaria.

7 Nothing was left of Jehoahaz's army except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. The king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like chaff.

8 Everything else Jehoahaz did and all his victories are written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
