2 King 10 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

2 Kings 10Massacre of Ahab’s Descendants

1 to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying,

2“Since your master’s sons are with you and you have at your disposal chariots and horses, a fortified city, and weapons,

3select the son of your master who is the best qualified, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”

4But they were utterly terrified and said, “Look, two kings could not withstand him; how then can we stand?”

5 Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand. Jehu took him up with him into the chariot.

16 had him ride in his chariot.

17 that was in the temple of Baal and burned it.

27Ezra 6.11; Dan 2.5; 3.29Then they demolished the pillar of Baal and destroyed the temple of Baal and made it a latrine to this day.

28Thus Jehu wiped out Baal from Israel.

291 Kings 12.28, 29But Jehu did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to commit: the golden calves that were in Bethel and in Dan.

30v 35; 2 Kings 15.8, 12The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what I consider right and in accordance with all that was in my heart have dealt with the house of Ahab, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.”

31v 29But Jehu was not careful to follow the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart; he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam that he caused Israel to commit.

Death of Jehu

32 2 Kings 8.12 In those days the Lord began to trim off parts of Israel. Hazael defeated them throughout the territory of Israel:

33from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Wadi Arnon, that is, Gilead and Bashan.

34Am 1.3–5Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel?

35So Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz succeeded him.

36The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
