2 Kings 10:31-36

31 But Yehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, with all his heart: he didn't depart from the sins of Yarov`am, with which he made Yisra'el to sin.

32 In those days the LORD began to cut off from Yisra'el: and Haza'el struck them in all the borders of Yisra'el;

33 from the Yarden eastward, all the land of Gil`ad, the Gadi, and the Re'uveni, and the Manashshi, from `Aro`er, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gil`ad and Bashan.

34 Now the rest of the acts of Yehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el?

35 Yehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Shomron. Yeho'achaz his son reigned in his place.

36 The time that Yehu reigned over Yisra'el in Shomron was twenty-eight years.
