This is about Jehu, the tenth king of Israel. No change in context:
2 Kings 10:17: And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
This is what God thought of Jehu's actions. Again, no change in context:
10:30: And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
Lion IRC, if you're going to make a claim, make sure you're right.
Oh I'm quite right on this one too. Ahab the wicked murderous war lord idolater starts it. God finishes it.
Do yourself a favour and grab a study bible. Learn FIRST Kings. Then see how out of context your quote-mining of 2nd Kings is.
