2 Kings 10:17-28

17When Jehu cameH935 to SamariaH8111, he struck downH5221 everyoneH3605 belonging to AhabH256 who remainedH7604 there, untilH5704 he had destroyed themH8045, according to the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 toH413 ElijahH452.

18Then JehuH3058 brought allH3605 the peopleH5971 togetherH6908 and saidH559, “AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592, but JehuH3058 will serve himH5647 a lotH7235. 19Now, thereforeH6258, summonH7121 to meH413 allH3605 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, allH3605 his servantsH5647, and allH3605 his priestsH3548. See that no oneH376H408 is missingH6485, forH3588 I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 for BaalH1168. WhoeverH3605 is missingH6485 will notH3808 liveH2421.”

But JehuH3058 was actingH6213 deceptivelyH6122 in order toH4616 destroyH6 the servantsH5647 of BaalH1168.

20And JehuH3058 commandedH559, “ProclaimH6942 a solemn assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168.” So they announced itH7121.

21Then JehuH3058 sent wordH7971 throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478, and allH3605 the servantsH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935; there was notH3808 a manH376 whoH834 failedH3808 to showH935. They enteredH935 the templeH1004 of BaalH1168, and itH1004H1168 was filledH4390 from endH6310 to endH6310.

22And Jehu saidH559 to the keeperH834H5921 of the wardrobeH4458, “Bring outH3318 garmentsH3830 for allH3605 the servantsH5647 of BaalH1168.” So he brought outH3318 garmentsH4403 for them.

23Next, JehuH3058 and JehonadabH3082 sonH1121 of RechabH7394 enteredH935 the templeH1004 of BaalH1168, and Jehu saidH559 to the servantsH5647 of BaalH1168, “Look aroundH2664 to seeH7200 that there areH3426 noH6435 servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068 hereH6311 among youH5973—onlyH3588H518 servantsH5647 of BaalH1168H905.”

24And they went inH9351 to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burnt offeringsH5930. Now JehuH3058 had stationedH7760 eightyH8084 menH376 outsideH2351 and warned themH559, “If anyoneH376 allows one ofH4480 the menH582 IH589 am deliveringH935 intoH5921 your handsH3027 to escapeH4422, he will forfeit his lifeH5315 forH8478 theirsH5315.”

When he had finishedH3615 makingH6213 the burnt offeringH5930, JehuH3058 saidH559 to the guardsH7323 and officersH7991, “Go inH935 and kill themH5221. Do notH408 let anyoneH376 outH3318.”

So the guardsH7323 and officersH7991 put themH5221 to the swordH6310H2719, threw the bodies outH7993, and wentH1980 intoH5704 the inner roomH5892 of the templeH1004 of BaalH1168.

26They brought outH3318 the sacred pillarH4676 of the templeH1004 of BaalH1168 and burned itH8313. 27They also demolishedH5422 the sacred pillarH4676 of BaalH1168. Then they tore downH5422 the templeH1004 of BaalH1168 and madeH7760 it into a latrineH4280, which it is toH5704 this dayH3117.

28Thus JehuH3058 eradicatedH8045 BaalH1168 from IsraelH3478,
