2 Kings 10:19-27

19Now, 1summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live.” But Jehu did it in 2cunning, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal. 20And Jehu said, “3Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.” And 4they proclaimed it. 21Then Jehu sent 5throughout Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And when they went into 6the house of Baal, the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other. 22He said to the one who was 7in charge of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the worshipers of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them. 23Jehu went into the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab; and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and see that there is here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but only the worshipers of Baal.” 24Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings.

Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he had said, “8The one who permits any of the men whom I bring into your hands to escape 9shall give up his life in exchange.”

25Then it came about, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the 1011guard and to the royal officers, “12Go in, 13kill them; let none come out.” And they 14killed them with the edge of the sword; and the 15guard and the royal officers threw them out, and went to the 16inner room of the house of Baal. 26They brought out the sacred 17pillars of the house of Baal and burned them. 27They also broke down the sacred pillar of Baal and broke down the house of Baal, and 18made it a latrine to this day.
