Context — Jehu Kills the Priests of Baal
25When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.
26They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.
27They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.
28Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel, 29but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.Cross References

He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.

2 Kings 10:27 Summary
In 2 Kings 10:27, we see the destruction of the temple of Baal, which represents the removal of idolatry and false worship from the lives of God's people. This act of destruction is a powerful reminder that true worship and devotion can only be given to the one true God, as seen in Exodus 20:3-5. Just as the Israelites were called to destroy the idols of the nations they displaced, we too must be willing to tear down the 'temples of Baal' in our own lives, as seen in 1 John 5:21. By doing so, we can experience the freedom and restoration that comes from worshiping the one true God, as seen in Psalm 16:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of demolishing the sacred pillar of Baal in 2 Kings 10:27?
The demolition of the sacred pillar of Baal signifies the destruction of idolatry and the rejection of false worship, as seen in Deuteronomy 12:3, where God commands the Israelites to destroy the pillars of the nations they are displacing.
Why was the temple of Baal turned into a latrine?
The transformation of the temple of Baal into a latrine, as stated in 2 Kings 10:27, represents the ultimate desecration and humiliation of the idolatrous worship system, much like the desecration of the temple in 1 Kings 13:2, where a prophet foretells its destruction.
How does this act of destruction relate to the overall story of 2 Kings?
The destruction of the temple of Baal in 2 Kings 10:27 is a pivotal moment in the reign of Jehu, as it demonstrates his commitment to eradicating the worship of Baal from Israel, as seen in 2 Kings 10:28, and fulfilling the prophecy of Elijah in 1 Kings 21:21-24.
What can we learn from Jehu's actions in this verse about our own struggle with idolatry?
Jehu's actions in 2 Kings 10:27 serve as a reminder that true repentance and restoration require the radical removal of idols and false worship from our lives, as seen in 1 John 5:21, where we are warned to keep ourselves from idols.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'temples of Baal' in my own life that need to be torn down, and what steps can I take to eradicate them?
- How can I, like Jehu, demonstrate a commitment to purity and holiness in my own walk with God, as seen in 2 Corinthians 7:1?
- In what ways can I practically apply the principle of destroying idolatry in my own heart and life, as seen in Romans 12:2?
- What are some potential 'sacred pillars' in my life that may be hindering my relationship with God, and how can I overcome them, as seen in Galatians 5:1?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 10:27

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 10:27
And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:27
The image of Baal; the chief image, which they worshipped more than the rest. Brake down the house of Baal; and the like they did with the rest of the houses of Baal in Israel; as may be gathered both from the nature and reason of the thing, and from .
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:27
2 Kings 10:27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.Ver. 27. And brake down the house of Baal.] So Theodosius pulled down the idol temples, which Constantine had shut only, but Julian opened them again; and our Henry VIII demolished the abbeys and monasteries, using these words, Corvorum nidi sunt penitus disturbandi, ne iterum ad cohabitandum convolent: Those crows’ nests are to be utterly destroyed, that they be no more frequented and re-inhabited. And made it a draught house.] Or, Jakes or out house. Here the Masorites put a more cleanly word in their Keri in the margin; as if they would prompt to the Holy Ghost a more mannerly speech. So they do in Deuteronomy 28:30 Jeremiah 3:2. Less marvel, then, if they deal so with the words of Rabshakeh, Isaiah 36:12. Dr Rich.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:27
(27) 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 (παρέδρυισυμβώμοι) of the principal idol. Made it a draught house.—By way of utter desecration. (Comp. Ezekiel 6:11; Daniel 2:5.) Unto this day.—On the bearing of this phrase, see the Introduction to the Books of Kings.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:27
Verse 27. Made it a draught house] A place for human excrement; so all the versions understand it. Nothing could be more degrading than this; he made it a public necessary.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 10:27
27. they brake down the image of Baal] As the verb is the same as that used immediately afterwards for the breaking down of the house, we may be almost certain that this chief object of worship was of stone. The verb is constantly employed of pulling down buildings. The LXX. omits the next clause, ‘And brake down the house of Baal’. a draught house] The word ‘draught’ is found again in Matthew 15:17; Mark 12:19. Cf. also Burton, Anatomy, p. 165, ‘Muck hills, draughts, sinks, where any carcasses or carrion lies’. For the idea cf. Ezra 6:11; Daniel 2:5; Daniel 3:29, ‘their houses shall be made a dunghill’. unto this day] See above on 2 Kings 8:22. For the commands in the law to destroy the objects of heathen worship cf. Deuteronomy 7:5; Deuteronomy 7:25; Deuteronomy 12:2-3, where a destruction like that described here is enjoined.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 10:27
And they brake down the image of Baal - The other images, it appears, were not images of Baal, but of inferior deities.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 10:27
27. The image of Baal — This was probably a vast molten statue of the god, erected outside of the temple, perhaps at the portal. A draught house — A place of refuse and filth.
