And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, [If] any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, [he that letteth him go], his life [shall be] for the life of him (10:24)

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, [and] slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast [them] out, and went to the city of the house of Baal (10:25)

And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them (10:26)

And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day (10:27)

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel (10:28)

Howbeit [from] the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that [were] in Bethel, and that [were] in Dan (10:29)

And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing [that which is] right in mine eyes, [and] hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that [was] in mine heart, thy children of the fourth [generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel (10:30)

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin (10:31)

In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel; (10:32)

From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan (10:33)

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? (10:34)

And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead (10:35)

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria [was] twenty and eight years (10:36)
