Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 10:29

29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the [illegible: 1 word] of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them , to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

Herein he discovers his Hypocrisie, that he follows God as far as his Interest would permit; namely, in destroying the House of Ahab, and the Worship of Baal, but no further: for he still resolves to keep up the Worship of the Calves: partly, lest he should disoblige and irritate his own Nobles and Subjects, who had been long inured, and were heartily affected to it: and partly, lest he should open a door for his people to return to their Obedience to the House of David. And his sin and folly is the more inexcusable, both because he durst not trust that God with the keeping of his Kingdom, of whose Power, and Faithfulness, and kindness to him, he had such ample experience in his giving him the Kingdom; and because he had so great and uncontrolable a power in the matters of Religion; having first pretended, and seemed to set up the Worship of Baal with all his might, and then destroying it with no less vehemency, none daring to mutter against him in either case; and because the House of David, and Kingdom of Iudah, his Competitor, now was, and was likely to be in a feeble and declining condition, and much more likely to fall into his hands, than that his Kingdom should come into theirs.
