Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 10:27

"And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day." — 2 Kings 10:27 (ASV)

The image of Baal. — Again the word is pillar, which in this case is the conical pillar of stone representing the Baal himself. The wooden pillars of 2 Kings 10:26 probably symbolised companion deities (παρέδρυι συμβώμοι) of the principal idol.

Made it a draught house. — By way of utter desecration. (Daniel 2:5.)

Unto this day. — On the bearing of this phrase, see the Introduction to the Books of Kings.
