2 Kings 10:15-24
15Now when he had gone from there, he 1encountered 2Jehonadab the son of 3Rechab coming to meet him; and he 4greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart right, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab 5answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, 6give me your hand.” And he gave him his hand, and he pulled him up to him into the chariot. 16Then he said, “Come with me and 7see my zeal for the Lord.” So 8he had him ride in his chariot. 17When he came to Samaria, 9he 10killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had eliminated 11them, 12in accordance with the word of the Lord which He spoke to Elijah.
18Then Jehu gathered all the people and said to them, “13Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much. 19Now, 14summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one go missing, because I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live.” But Jehu did it in deception, in order to eliminate the worshipers of Baal. 20And Jehu said, “15Proclaim a holy assembly for Baal.” And 16they proclaimed it. 21Then Jehu sent word 17throughout Israel, and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a person left who did not come. And when they entered 18the house of Baal, the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other. 22And he said to the one who was 19in charge of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the worshipers of Baal.” So he brought out the garments for them. 23Then Jehu entered the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab; and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search carefully and see to it that there is here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but only the worshipers of Baal.” 24Then they entered to 20offer sacrifices and burnt offerings.
Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he had said, “21The one who allows any of the men whom I bring into your hands to escape 22shall give up his life in exchange.”
