What did Jehu do in the Bible

Jehu was a military leader in the Northern Kingdom who was anointed king by Elisha the prophet. He was also told by the prophet to destroy King Joram (the son of King Ahab) and his family, which he did. Jehu famously killed all the priests of Baal and turned their idolatrous temple into a toilet. Unfortunately, after becoming king Jehu did not follow God’s path.
