2 Kings 10:26,27 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The images of the house of Baal A collection of different images. The image of Baal The chief image, which they worshipped more than the rest. And brake down the house of Baal As, no doubt, they did the rest of the houses of Baal in Israel. And made it a draught-house A sink or common shore; that the remembrance of it might be blotted out or made infamous. Thus was the worship of Baal quite destroyed, at least for the present, out of Israel, though it had once prevailed so far, that there were but seven thousand, of all the thousands of Israel, that had not bowed the knee to Baal. Thus will Jehovah, sooner or later, triumph over all the gods of the heathen.

2 Kings 10:26-27

26 And they brought forth the imagesi out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

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.
