“And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.”
Joram removes the pillar of Baal (matsebat habaal) that Ahab had made — a superficial religious reform that lacks depth. The gesture placates the prophetic movement but does not represent true repentance; Joram's fundamental idolatry remains intact.
