2 Kings 10:16

10:16 Jehu ¹  said, “Come with me and see how zealous I am for the Lord’s cause.” ²  So he ³  took him along in his chariot.

2 Kings 10:31

10:31 But Jehu did not carefully and wholeheartedly obey the law of the Lord God of Israel. ⁴  He did not repudiate the sins which Jeroboam had encouraged Israel to commit. ⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “and see my zeal for the Lord.”

³ tc The MT has a plural form, but this is most likely an error. The LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have the singular.

⁴ tn Heb “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.”

⁵ tn Heb “He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to commit.”
