29 but he (YHWH is He) did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Nebat (aspect) had caused Israel (he wrestles with God) to commit—the worship of the golden (house of God) calves at Bethel and Dan (He has judged). 30 Nevertheless, the LORD {YHWH} said to Jehu (YHWH is He), “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab (father's brother) all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel (he wrestles with God).” 31 Yet Jehu (YHWH is He) was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam (the people will contend) had caused Israel to commit. 32 In those days the LORD {YHWH} began to reduce the size of Israel (he wrestles with God). Hazael (one who sees God) defeated the Israelites throughout their territory 33 from the Jordan (flowing down) eastward through all the land of Gilead (rocky region) (the region of Gad (a troop / fortune), Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer (ruins) by the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley through Gilead to Bashan (fruitful). 34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehu (YHWH is He), along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel (he wrestles with God)? 35 And Jehu (YHWH is He) rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria (watch mountain), and his son Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized) reigned in his place. 36 So the duration of Jehu’s (YHWH is He) reign over Israel (he wrestles with God) in Samaria (watch mountain) was twenty-eight years. 2 Kings 10:29-36, Berean Annotated Bible.
