SCRIPTURE

"Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)" — 2 Kings 13:6 (ASV)

Nevertheless, they departed not from the sins of the house of
Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked therein
Continued to worship the calves still, which was an instance of great ingratitude; the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "he departed not"; Jehoahaz the king:

and there remained the grove in Samaria ;
which Ahab made there, (1 Kings 16:33) , neither Jehu nor his son had it cut down, though Baal was destroyed.
