A Summary of Jehu’s Reign

10:29 However, Jehu did not repudiate the sins which Jeroboam son of Nebat had encouraged Israel to commit; the golden calves remained in Bethel ¹⁰  and Dan. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

² tn Heb “walked after.”

³ tn Heb “he did not turn aside from it.”

⁴ tn Heb “they did not turn away from.”

⁵ tn Heb “house.”

⁶ tc Heb “in it he walked.” The singular verb (הָלַךְ, halakh) is probably due to an error of haplography and should be emended to the plural (הָלְכּוּ, halÿku). Note that a vav immediately follows (on the form וְגַם, vÿgam).

⁷ tn Or “an image of Asherah”; ASV, NASB “the Asherah”; NCV “the Asherah idol.”

⁸ tn Heb “held tight,” or “clung to.”

⁹ tc The Hebrew text has the singular, “it.” Some ancient witnesses read the plural, which seems preferable since the antecedent (“sins”) is plural. Another option is to emend the plural “sins” to a singular. One ancient Greek witness has the singular “sin.”
