ftood into a common jakes. He purfued fimilar meafures 
wherever any temples or altars were erefted in honour of 
that deity, throughout the whole kingdom, till he had 
entirely cleared it of all memorials of fuch an abominable 
fuperftition. The zeal and diligence which he had thus 
displayed in executing the divine vengeance on the im¬ 
pious houfe of Ahab, and in abolifliing the worlhip of 
Baal, met with fuch acceptance from the Divine Being, 
that a prophet was commiflioned to allure Jehu, that the 
kingdom of Ifrael Ihould remain in his pofterity till the 
fourth generation. It would have been happy for him 
and his people, if this promife had engaged him.“ to walk 
in the law of the Lord God of Ifrael with all his heart;” 
but falfe policy prevailed in his mind over a pure regard 
to the interefts of religion, and induced him to continue 
the old idolatry of worfhipping the golden calves of Dan 
and Bethel. On this account God was pleal'ed to make 
ufe of Hazael, king of Syria, as his inftrument to punilh 
Jehu and the Ilraelites, who fubjugated that part of the 
kingdom which was beyond Jordan, committing wherever 
he came the greateft devaluations and molt inhuman bar¬ 
barities. Jehu died in the twenty-eighth year of his reign, 
or B. C. 856. See a Kings ix. x.
