Context of 2 Kings 10:28

26They took out the stones from the house of Baal and they destroyed them. 27They broke the special stone pillar of Baal and they destroyed the temple. People still use it as a toilet, even today! That is how Jehu stopped people from worshipping Baal in Israel. 29But Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Nebat's son, Jeroboam. Jeroboam had caused Israel to worship images of calves. There were still gold calves at Bethel and Dan. 30The Lord said to Jehu, ‘You have done well. You have done the things that I say are right. You have punished Ahab's family in the way that I wanted. So your descendants will be kings of Israel for four generations.’

Whether Jehu looked any further we cannot…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-29Even though Jehu ended Baal worship in Israel, he continued the worship of gold calves at Bethel and Dan. This practice was started by Jeroboam I. It remained part of the state religion (1 Kings 12:28–30). Eventually, it contributed to the fall of the northern kingdom (2 Kings 17:21–23).Read the comment
