2 Kings 10 – 11
Jehu was very thorough in destroying the worshippers of Baal but the lasting damage of Jeraboams choice to substitute the worship of golden calves for true worship of the God of Israel is evident in the fact that Jehu continued that practice after so aggressively ridding the land of Baal-worship.
I wonder why the mother of the king would kill all the royal seed after her son died. Thankfully one son was saved and hidden for six years before he was annointed king at the age of seven. What I really like is that at the end of Athaliah’s reign following her son the people covenanted with the Lord and destroyed Baal from out of the land of Judah.
