24. And when they went in to offer zevakhim and olot, Yehu appointed fourscore ish outside, and said, If any of the anashim whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his nefesh shall be for the nefesh of him.
25. And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the olah (burnt offering), that Yehu said to the guard and to the shalishim (officers), Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they cut them down with the edge of the cherev; and the guard and the shalishim cast them out, and went to the Ir of the bais of Ba'al.
26. And they brought forth the matzevot out of the bais of Baal, and burned them.
27. And they demolished the matzevot HaBa'al, and broke down the bais of Baal, and made it mokharot (latrines) unto this day.
28. Thus Yehu destroyed Ba'al out of Yisroel.
29. Howbeit from the sins of Yarov`am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin, Yehu departed not from after them, even, the eglei hazahav that were in Beit-El, and that were in Dan.
30. And Hashem said unto Yehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is yashar in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the bais of Ach'av according to all that was in Mine lev, thy banim of the fourth generation shall sit on the kisse Yisroel.
31. Yet Yehu was not shomer to follow the Torat Hashem Elohei Yisroel with all his lev; for he departed not from the chattot Yarov`am which he caused Yisroel to commit sin.
32. In those days Hashem began to cut Yisroel down to size; and Chazael struck them down in all the territory of Yisroel;
33. From Yarden eastward, all Eretz Gil`ad, the Gadi, and the Reuveni, and the Menashi, from Aroer, which is by the Arnon Valley, even Gil`ad and Bashan.
34. Now the rest of the acts of Yehu, and all that he did, and all his gevurah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel?
35. And Yehu slept with his avot; and they buried him in Shomron. And Yehoachaz bno reigned as melech in his place.
