I read the King James Version Bible. Do you know how many Israel kings ?

Question

(from the ninetten kings) and which particular kings worshipped Baal. Which king put an end to Baal?

Answer 1

I believe that Robert K has (unknowingly) answered both questions. Baal worship was *introduced* by Jezebel, a foreigner (read the first section here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezebel_(Bible) )
Jehu's campaign was religious as well as military. However, Jehu *did* return to the previous non-temple based idolatrous worship - possibly a Yahwistic cult, it involved the idols of bulls.

Answer 2

I'm afraid I'm not a biblical authority, but I can give you at least my understanding of the answer to your second question; Jehu presided over a slaughter of the baalists (including Jezebel, Ahab and Ahaziah(who I think may not even have been a baalist)) and then became king of Israel. I'll bet there was very little baalism after that.

I'm kind of hazy on details, though. It's been a while.

Answer 3

Simple question.

After the time of Solomon, the nation split into two kingdoms, Judea and Israel. Every single one of the kings of Israel is considered to have been a bad king who did not worship God. It was only the kings of Judea that went back and forth.

Answer 4

Do not forget the division.

1Ki 11:29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
1Ki 11:30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
1Ki 11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:

The House of Israel

The House of Judah

Elijah was a prophet to the House of Israel, not the House of Judah.
