2 Kings 10:28-30
EasyEnglish Bible
28 That is how Jehu stopped people from worshipping Baal in Israel. 29 But Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Nebat's son, Jeroboam. Jeroboam had caused Israel to worship images of calves. There were still gold calves at Bethel and Dan. 30 The Lord said to Jehu, ‘You have done well. You have done the things that I say are right. You have punished Ahab's family in the way that I wanted. So your descendants will be kings of Israel for four generations.’[a]

2 Kings 10:28-30
New International Version
28 So Jehu(A) destroyed Baal worship in Israel. 29 However, he did not turn away from the sins(B) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves(C) at Bethel(D) and Dan.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”(E)
