Melachim Bais 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.

Melachim Bais 13:6 In-Context

4 And Yehoachaz besought Hashem, and Hashem paid heed unto him; for He saw the lakhatz (oppression) of Yisroel, because Melech Aram (Syria) oppressed them—

5 And Hashem gave Yisroel a moshia (savior), so that they went out from under the yad Aram; and the Bnei Yisroel dwelt in their ohalim, as formerly.

6 Nevertheless they departed not from the chattot of the Bais Yarov‘am, who made Yisroel sin, but walked therein; and also there remained standing the Asherah in Shomron—

7 For he [Melech Aram] did leave of the army to Yehoachaz but 50 parashim, and 10 merkavot, and 10,000 foot soldiers; for Melech Aram had destroyed them, and had made them like the aphar for trampling.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Yehoachaz, and all that he did, and his gevurah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?
