26 They brought the sacred stone out of the temple of Baal and burned it.
26 and they brought out the pillar that was in the house of Baal and burned it.
26 They hauled out the sacred phallic stone from the temple of Baal and pulverized it.
26 And they brought the sacred pillars out of the temple of Baal and burned them.
26 They dragged out the sacred pillar used in the worship of Baal and burned it.

Commentary on 2 Kings 10:15-28
(Read 2 Kings 10:15-28)
Is thine heart right? This is a question we should often put to ourselves. I make a fair profession, have gained a reputation among men, but, is my heart right? Am I sincere with God? Jehonadab owned Jehu in the work, both of revenge and of reformation. An upright heart approves itself to God, and seeks no more than his acceptance; but if we aim at the applause of men, we are upon a false foundation. Whether Jehu looked any further we cannot judge. The law of God was express, that idolaters were to be put to death. Thus idolatry was abolished for the present out of Israel. May we desire that it be rooted out of our hearts.
