2 Kings 10:21-31

21Then JehuH3058 sentH7971 1throughoutH3605 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 2the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was filledH4390 from oneH6310 endH6310 to the otherH6310. 22He saidH559 to the one whoH834 was 3in 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, “4The oneH376 whoH834 permits anyH4480 of the menH376 whomH834 I bringH935 into your handsH3027 to escapeH4422 5shall 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 67guardH7323 and to the royalH7991 officersH7991, “8GoH935 in, 9killH5221 them; let noneH376H408 comeH3318 out.” And they 10killedH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the 11guardH7323 and the royalH7991 officersH7991 threwH7993 them out, and wentH1980 to the 12innerH5892 roomH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168. 26They broughtH3318 out the sacred 13pillarsH4676 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 14madeH7760 it a latrineH4280 to this dayH3117.

28Thus JehuH3058 eradicatedH8045 BaalH1168 out of IsraelH3478. 29HoweverH7534, 15as for the sinsH2399 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, from these JehuH3058 did not departH5493, even the 16goldenH2091 calvesH5695 that were at BethelH1008 and that were at DanH1835. 30The LordH3068 saidH559 to JehuH3058, “BecauseH3282H834 you have doneH2895 wellH2895 in executingH6213 whatH3477 is rightH3477 in My eyesH5869, and have doneH6213 to the houseH1004 of AhabH256 according to allH3605 that was in My heartH3824, 17your sonsH1121 of the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.” 31But JehuH3058 1819was not carefulH8104 to walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, with allH3605 his heartH3824; 20he did not departH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398.
