³⁰ And the Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, ^(A)your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” ³¹ But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. ^(B)He did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam, which he made Israel to sin.

¹² then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. ^13 (A)Your eye shall not pity him, ^(B)but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood^[a] from Israel, so that it may be well with you.

¹⁸ if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, ^(A)keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.
