Page "Jehoash of Israel" Paragraph 7

Jeroboam also angered the LORD by condoning the worship of golden calves.

Not only did he condone it, but offered sacrifices to the calves that he himself had made.

“ He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar.

This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made.

And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made .” Jehoash, too did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, his great-grandfather, and Israel continued in them as well.

For example, Jehoash condoned the worship of the golden calves among the Israelites.

Also, late in his reign Jehoash worshipped the gods of Edom.
