Not satisfied with wiping out Ahab’s entire family, including distant relatives, Jehu also destroys all worshipers of Baal. He burns the statue of the god, and the temple is turned into a latrine (27). However, Jehu doesn’t escape the negative judgment hanging over the kings of Israel because he did not abandon the worship of the two golden calves at Dan and Bethel (cf. 1 Kgs 12:25-33).
