2 Kings 10:15-28
15Now when he had departedH1980 from thereH8033, he 1metH4672 2JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of 3RechabH7394 coming to meetH7122 him; and he 4greetedH1288 him and saidH559 to him, “Is your heartH3824 rightH3477, as my heartH3824 is with your heartH3824?” And JehonadabH3082 5answeredH559, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, 6giveH5414 me your handH3027.” And he gaveH5414 him his handH3027, and he tookH5927 him up to him into the chariotH4818. 16He saidH559, “ComeH1980 with me and 7seeH7200 my zealH7068 for the LordH3068.” So 8he made him rideH7392 in his chariotH7393. 17When he cameH935 to SamariaH8111, 9he 10killedH5221 allH3605 who remainedH7604 to AhabH256 in SamariaH8111, untilH5704 he had destroyedH8045 him, 11according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 to ElijahH452.
18Then JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and saidH559 to them, “12AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; JehuH3058 will serveH5647 him muchH7235. 19NowH6258, 13summonH7121 allH3605 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, allH3605 his worshipersH5647 and allH3605 his priestsH3548; let noH408 oneH376 be missingH6485, for I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 for BaalH1168; whoeverH3605H834 is missingH6485 shall not liveH2421.” But JehuH3058 didH6213 it in 14cunningH6122, soH4616 that he might destroyH6 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168. 20And JehuH3058 saidH559, “15SanctifyH6942 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168.” And 16they proclaimedH7121 it. 21Then JehuH3058 sentH7971 17throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478 and allH3605 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a manH376 leftH7604 whoH834 did not comeH935. And when they wentH935 into 18the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was filledH4390 from oneH6310 endH6310 to the otherH6310. 22He saidH559 to the one whoH834 was 19in chargeH5921 of the wardrobeH4458, “BringH3318 out garmentsH3830 for allH3605 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168.” So he broughtH3318 out garmentsH4403 for them. 23JehuH3058 wentH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 with JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394; and he saidH559 to the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168, “SearchH2664 and seeH7200 that thereH3426 is hereH6311 with you noneH6435 of the servantsH5650 of the LordH3068, but onlyH905 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168.” 24Then they wentH935 in to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burntH5930 offeringsH5930.
Now JehuH3058 had stationedH7760 for himself eightyH8084 menH376 outsideH2351, and he had saidH559, “20The oneH376 whoH834 permits anyH4480 of the menH376 whomH834 I bringH935 into your handsH3027 to escapeH4422 21shall give up his lifeH5315 in exchangeH8478.”
25Then it cameH1961 about, as soon as he had finishedH3615 offeringH6213 the burntH5930 offeringH5930, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the 2223guardH7323 and to the royalH7991 officersH7991, “24GoH935 in, 25killH5221 them; let noneH376H408 comeH3318 out.” And they 26killedH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the 27guardH7323 and the royalH7991 officersH7991 threwH7993 them out, and wentH1980 to the 28innerH5892 roomH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168. 26They broughtH3318 out the sacred 29pillarsH4676 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 and burnedH8313 them. 27They also brokeH5422 downH5422 the sacred pillarH4676 of BaalH1168 and brokeH5422 downH5422 the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and 30madeH7760 it a latrineH4280 to this dayH3117.
28Thus JehuH3058 eradicatedH8045 BaalH1168 out of IsraelH3478.
