2 Kings 10:18-28
18And JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 all the peopleH5971 togetherH6908, and saidH559 unto them, AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; but JehuH3058 will serveH5647 him muchH7235. 19NowH6258 thereforeH6258 callH7121 unto me all the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, all his worshippers, and all his priestsH3548; let none be wanting: for I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 to do to BaalH1168; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not liveH2421. But JehuH3058 did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroyH6 the worshippers of BaalH1168. 20And JehuH3058 saidH559, SanctifyH6942 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168. And they proclaimedH7121 it. 21And JehuH3058 sentH7971 through all IsraelH3478: and all the worshippers of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a manH376 leftH7604 that cameH935 not. And they cameH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168; and the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was filledH4390 from oneH376 end to another. 22And he saidH559 unto him that was over the vestry, BringH3318 forthH3318 vestments for all the worshippers of BaalH1168. And he broughtH3318 them forthH3318 vestments. 23And JehuH3058 wentH935, and Jehonadab the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168; and he saidH559 unto the worshippers of BaalH1168, SearchH2664, and lookH7200 that there be hereH6311 with you none of the servantsH5650 of Jehovah, but the worshippers of BaalH1168 onlyH905. 24And they wentH935 in to offer sacrificesH2077 and burnt-offerings. Now JehuH3058 had appointedH7760 him fourscore menH376 without, and saidH559, If any of the menH376 whom I bringH935 into your handsH3027 escapeH4422, he that letteth him goH935, his lifeH5315 shall be for the lifeH5315 of him.
25And it cameH935 to pass, as soon as he had madeH6213 an endH3615 of offering the burnt-offering, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the guard and to the captains, GoH3318 in, and slay them; let none comeH935 forthH3318. And they smote them with the edge of the swordH2719; and the guard and the captains castH7993 them out, and wentH3318 to the cityH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168. 26And they broughtH3318 forthH3318 the pillarsH4676 that were in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and burnedH8313 them. 27And they brake down the pillarH4676 of BaalH1168, and brake down the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and madeH7760 it a draught-house, unto this dayH3117. 28Thus JehuH3058 destroyedH8045 BaalH1168 out of IsraelH3478.
