10:15-17
Jehu meets Jehonadab, the son of Rekab, and asks which side he is on, Jehonadab says he is, so Jehu calls him up. Jehu then kills all the remnants of Ahab’s family. Jehu is very thorough in fulfilling the word of the Lord.
10:18-36
Next Jehu goes for the servants of Baal. He uses subterfuge, claiming to be keen on Baal worship, so summons all the servants of Baal to a Baal fest. Having tricked them all, he then kills them. However, while Jehu is dedicated to fulfilling the word of God, he is not dedicated to the Lord Himself, worshipping the golden calves. The Lord now set about reducing the size of Israel. In the end jehu reigned for twenty eight years.
