2 Rois 10:29 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:29

Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin
Which is the common character given of that king, a blot never to be wiped off:

Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were
in Bethel, and that were in Dan:
he did not abstain from the worship of them, partly because he might not think it idolatry, because God was worshipped in them; hence he calls the worshippers of the calves the servants of the Lord, ( 2 Kings 10:23 ) , and partly that he might not displease the princes of the people of Israel, who generally gave in to the worship of them; but chiefly lest the kingdom of Israel should return to the house of David, the worship of the calves being a piece of state policy, to keep them from going to Jerusalem to worship, lest thereby they should be drawn off from their allegiance to the king of Israel.

2 Rois 10:29 In-Context

27 Et ils démolirent la statue de Baal. Ils démolirent aussi la maison de Baal et en firent un cloaque qui subsiste jusqu'à ce jour.
28 Ainsi Jéhu extermina Baal du milieu d'Israël.
29 Toutefois il ne se détourna point des péchés que Jéroboam, fils de Nébat, avait fait commettre à Israël, savoir, des veaux d'or de Béthel et de Dan.
30 Et l'Éternel dit à Jéhu: Parce que tu as fort bien exécuté ce qui était droit devant moi, et que tu as fait à la maison d'Achab tout ce que j'avais dans mon coeur, tes fils seront assis sur le trône d'Israël jusqu'à la quatrième génération.
31 Mais Jéhu ne prit point garde à marcher de tout son coeur dans la loi de l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël. Il ne se détourna point des péchés par lesquels Jéroboam avait fait pécher Israël.
