Contemporary English Version

^29 (A) But he did not stop the worship of the gold statues of calves at Dan and Bethel that Jeroboam had made for the people to worship.^[a]

³⁰ Later the Lord said, “Jehu, you have done right by destroying Ahab's entire family, just as I had planned. So I will make sure that the next four kings of Israel will come from your own family.”

³¹ But Jehu did not completely obey the commands of the Lord God of Israel. Instead, he kept doing the sinful things that Jeroboam had caused the Israelites to do.

Jehu Dies

³² In those days the Lord began to reduce the size of Israel's territory. King Hazael of Syria defeated the Israelites and took control ³³ of the regions of Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan River and north of the town of Aroer near the Arnon River. This was the land where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh had once lived.
