7:9 pagan shrines . . . temples: Every vestige of the apostate Israelite religion, from the common high places to the royal shrine at Bethel, would be destroyed. • of your ancestors (literally of Isaac): Isaac stands for Israel’s ancestors, the fathers of the nation. • dynasty of King Jeroboam: Jeroboam II died of natural causes (2 Kgs 14:29), but the murder of his son and successor, Zechariah, after a reign of less than a year (2 Kgs 15:8-10; see 2 Kgs 10:28-31), initiated instability in Israel’s government that it never overcame (2 Kgs 15:10-31).
