Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, set up golden calves to prevent the Israelites from worshiping in Jerusalem (<a href="/1_kings/12-26.htm">1 Kings 12:26-30</a>). This act was a direct violation of the first two commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3-4</a>) and led Israel into sin. Jehu's failure to abolish this practice shows a partial obedience to God, highlighting the danger of incomplete reform.the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan. Bethel and Dan were strategically chosen by Jeroboam as centers of worship to rival Jerusalem. Bethel, located near the southern border of the northern kingdom, and Dan, in the far north, made worship accessible to all Israelites, but it was a counterfeit worship. Archaeological findings at Dan have uncovered a high place that aligns with biblical descriptions, confirming the historical accuracy of these events. The golden calves symbolized a syncretism that mixed Yahweh worship with pagan practices, a recurring issue in Israel's history (<a href="/exodus/32-4.htm">Exodus 32:4-6</a>). This idolatry foreshadowed the eventual downfall of the northern kingdom, as prophesied by Amos and Hosea, who condemned such practices (<a href="/amos/3-14.htm">Amos 3:14</a>, <a href="/hosea/8-5.htm">Hosea 8:5-6</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jehu.htm">Jehu</a> The king of Israel who was anointed by God to destroy the house of Ahab and eradicate Baal worship from Israel.

It was a crucial test of Jehu's faithfulness to Jehovah; would he maintain the calf-worship of Jeroboam or not? With whatever intent the worship had been set up by its author, the curse of God had been pronounced against it by the chief prophet of the time (<a href="/1_kings/13-2.htm">1 Kings 13:2</a>), and his word had been attired as from heaven by two miracles (<a href="/1_kings/13-4.htm">1 Kings 13:4, 5</a>). Jehu ought to have known that the calf-worship, if not as hateful to God as the Baal-worship, at any rate was hateful, was a standing act of rebellion against Jehovah, and laid the nation under his displeasure. But, while his own interests were entirely detached from the one, they were, or at least would seem to him to be, bound up with the other. The calf-worship was thought to be essential to the matureance of the divided kingdom. Abolish it, and all Israel would "return to the house of David" (<a href="/1_kings/12-26.htm">1 Kings 12:26-30</a>). Jehu was not prepared to risk this result. His "zeal for Jehovah" did not reach so far. Thus his "reformation of religion" was but a half-reformation, a partial turning to Jehovah, which brought no permanent blessing upon the nation. To wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan. The erection of the calves (<a href="/1_kings/12-29.htm">1 Kings 12:29</a>) was the initial sin, their worship the persistent one. (On the nature of the calf-worship, see the comment on 1 Kings 12:28, and compare the 'Speaker's Commentary' on the same passage.) <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/10-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>but רַ֠ק (raq) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7535.htm">Strong's 7535: </a> But, even, except, howbeit howsoever, at the least, nevertheless he יֵה֖וּא (yê·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3058.htm">Strong's 3058: </a> Jehu -- 'the LORD is He', the name of several Israelites did not לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no turn away סָ֥ר (sār) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> To turn aside from מֵאַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם (mê·’a·ḥă·rê·hem) Preposition-m | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_310.htm">Strong's 310: </a> The hind or following part the sins חֲטָאֵ֞י (ḥă·ṭā·’ê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2399.htm">Strong's 2399: </a> A crime, its penalty that Jeroboam יָרָבְעָ֤ם (yā·rā·ḇə·‘ām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3379.htm">Strong's 3379: </a> Jeroboam -- 'the people increase', the name of two Israelites kings son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Nebat נְבָט֙ (nə·ḇāṭ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5028.htm">Strong's 5028: </a> Nebat -- father of Jeroboam had caused Israel יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc to commit— הֶחֱטִ֣יא (he·ḥĕ·ṭî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn the worship of the golden הַזָּהָ֔ב (haz·zā·hāḇ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky calves עֶגְלֵי֙ (‘eḡ·lê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5695.htm">Strong's 5695: </a> A, calf, one nearly grown at Bethel אֵ֖ל (’êl) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1008.htm">Strong's 1008: </a> Bethel -- 'house of God', a city in Ephraim, also a place in southern Judah and Dan. בְּדָֽן׃ (bə·ḏān) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1835.htm">Strong's 1835: </a> Dan -- 'judge', a son of Jacob, also a place in Northern Israel <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_kings/10-29.htm">2 Kings 10:29 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_kings/10-29.htm">OT History: 2 Kings 10:29 However from the sins of Jeroboam (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/2_kings/10-28.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Kings 10:28"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Kings 10:28" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/2_kings/10-30.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Kings 10:30"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Kings 10:30" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
