Joash gets three victories over Ben-hadad Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Jeroboam This phrase highlights the persistent disobedience of Israel. The Hebrew root for "turn away" is "שׁוּב" (shuv), meaning to return or repent. Despite opportunities for repentance, Israel continued in the idolatrous practices initiated by Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom. Historically, Jeroboam's sins involved setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan (1 Kings 12:28-30), leading Israel into idolatry. This phrase underscores the tragic pattern of Israel's spiritual infidelity and the difficulty of breaking free from entrenched sin. which he had caused Israel to commit and they continued in them The Asherah pole also remained standing in Samaria The house of Jeroboam--Some MSS., the Syriac, Targum, and Arabic omit "house." But the specification of the dynasty is here very appropriate. But walked therein.--Rather, therein they walked; the reading of the LXX. (Alex.),Vulg., and Targum being probably correct. It is the conduct of the nation that is being described. And there remained the grove also in Samaria.--Rather, and moreover the Asherah stood (i.e., was set up) in Samaria. The Asherah was the sacred tree, so often depicted in Assyrian art. It symbolised the productive principle of nature, and was sacred to Ashtoreth. With the return of peace, and the renewal of prosperity, luxury also soon reappeared, and the idolatry that specially countenanced it lifted up its head again. (See the Note on 2Kings 17:16.) Verse 6. - Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin. "The house of Jeroboam" is an unusual expression in this connection, and is scarcely appropriate, since every "house" had acted in the same way, Some manuscripts omit the word, and it is wanting in the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic versions. Thenius would cancel it. But walked therein; literally, he walked. But here again a corruption may be suspected. Instead of הָלָך we should read חָלְכוּ, which lost its final letter in consequence of the vau that immediately followed it. And there remained the grove also in Samaria. "The grove in Samaria" was that idolatrous emblem which Ahab had set up at Jezebel's suggestion (1 Kings 16:33), the nature of which has been much disputed. Some think that it was "an image of Astarte" (see 'Homiletic Commentary' on 1 Kings, p. 374); but more probably it was a mere emblem, analogous to the Assyrian "sacred tree." Its material may sometimes have been wood, but was perhaps more usually metal. The mistranslation "grove" originated with the Septuagint translators, who uniformly rendered אֲשֵׂרָה by ἄλσος. It is surprising that Jehu did not destroy the asherah together with the other idolatrous erections of Ahab in Samaria (2 Kings 10:26-28); but, for some reason or other, it seems to have been spared, and to have been still standing. So long as it stood, even if it did not attract the religious regards of any, it would be a standing dishonor to God, and would so increase the sin of the nation. Hence its mention in this passage.Parallel Commentaries ...
