26 and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up
27 and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.
28 And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.
29 Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.
30 Then the Lord said to Jehu: 'Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.'
