Royalty and loyalty - The two things are different. Jehu was regarded
as royalty, but he wasn’t fully loyal to the Lord. Jehu did some good
things, with which the Lord was pleased - “Jehu got rid of Baal worship
throughout Israel ... The Lord said to Jehu, ‘You did what I consider
right’” (2 Kings 10:28,30). Jehu’s good actions were not the full story
of his life. There was also much that was displeasing to the Lord -
“Jehu did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam led Israel to commit
- the worship of the golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan ...
Jehu didn’t wholeheartedly obey the teachings of the Lord God of
Israel” (2 Kings 10:29,31).
