25. Then it came to pass, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in, strike them down—let none get out.” So they struck them down with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out. Then they proceeded to the inner room of the temple of Baal,
26. brought out the pillars of the temple of Baal, and burned them.
27. Then they demolished the pillar of Baal, tore down the temple of Baal and turned it into latrines—as it is to this day.
28. Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel.
29. However, from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused Israel to commit, from these Jehu did not turn away—-the golden calves in Bethel and in Dan.
30. Now Adonai had said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what is right in My eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, your sons of the fourth generation will sit on the throne of Israel.”
31. Yet Jehu was not careful to walk in the Torah of Adonai, God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused Israel to commit.
32. In those days Adonai began to reduce the size of Israel. For Hazael defeated them throughout the territory of Israel,
33. from the Jordan eastward in all the land of Gilead—the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the Manassites—from Aroer by the Arnon Valley up to Gilead and Bashan.
34. Now the rest of the acts 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?
35. Then Jehu slept with his fathers and they buried him in Samaria. And his son Jehoahaz became king in his place.
36. The days of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria were 28 years.
