Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Nevertheless, as for the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, Jehu turned not away from following them, - the calves of gold, one being in Bethel, and the other in Dan.

And Yahweh said unto Jehu: Because thou hast done well, by doing that which was right in mine eyes - according to all that was in my heart, hast done to the house of Ahab, sons, of thine, unto the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.

But, Jehu, took not heed to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel, with all his heart, - he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

In those days, began Yahweh to make inroads in Israel, - and Hazael smote them in all the boundaries of Israel;

from the Jordan, towards sunrise, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, - from Aroer, which is by the torrent of Arnon, both Gilead and Bashan.

Now, the rest of the story of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, - and, Jehoahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.

Now, the days that Jehu reigned over Israel, were twenty-eight years, in Samaria.
