10:27. And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal,

10:28. So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:

10:29. But yet he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of
Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that
were in Bethel, and Dan.

10:30. And the Lord said to Jehu: because thou hast diligently executed
