2 Kings 10:30-32a:
30 The LORD said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation." 31 Yet Jehu was not careful to keep the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit.
32 In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel.
It's not enough to narrowly follow the mission you've been given. You also have to keep the law of God in your heart and turn away from earlier sins. Note that as a consequence Israel was reduced, even though Jehu's family ruled to the 4th generation.
