2 Kings 10:29-36

Modern English Version

²⁹ But from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, Jehu did not turn aside (that is, the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan).

³⁰ And the Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well by doing what is right in My sight, and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.” ³¹ But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart. He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam, who caused Israel to sin.

The Death of Jehu

³² In those days the Lord began to trim off parts of Israel, and Hazael struck them in all the territory of Israel: ³³ from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, the Reubenites, the Manassites from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

³⁴ Now the rest of the deeds of Jehu, all he did and all his power, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

³⁵ So Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son became king in his place. ³⁶ The days that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria were twenty-eight years.
