And they broke down the temple of Baal ,.... Which some take to be Belus, others Saturn, others the sun, which seems most probable: and broke down the house of Baal ; his temple, demolished it: and made it a draught house until this day ; a common sewer, a jakes; a fit place for dunghill gods to be thrown into, and an idol temple to be turned into. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 10:1-28
The revolution initiated by the destruction of Joram and Jezebel is here traced through its second and its third stages. The immediate question, after Joram's death, was—Would any member of his family rise up as a claimant of the throne, and dispute the succession with Jehu?

Jehu regarded this as the most pressing and... read more

This Jehonadab was the founder of the Rechabites.

Jehu, pushing on his work, is here, I. Courting the friendship of a good man, Jehonadab the son of Rechab, 2 Kgs. 10:15, 16.
