2 Kings 10:16-31

16Then he saidH559, “ComeH1980 with me and 1seeH7200 my zealH7068 for the LordH3068.” So 2he had him rideH7392 in his chariotH7393. 17When he cameH935 to SamariaH8111, 3he 4killedH5221 allH3605 who remainedH7604 to AhabH256 in SamariaH8111, untilH5704 he had eliminatedH8045 5them, 6in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 to ElijahH452.

18Then JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and saidH559 to them, “7AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; JehuH3058 will serveH5647 him muchH7235. 19NowH6258, 8summonH7121 to me allH3605 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, allH3605 his worshipersH5647 and allH3605 his priestsH3548; let noH408 oneH376 goH6485 missingH6485, becauseH3588 I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 for BaalH1168; whoeverH3605H834 isH6485 missingH6485 shall not liveH2421.” But JehuH3058 didH6213 it in deceptionH6122, inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 eliminateH6 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168. 20And JehuH3058 saidH559, “9ProclaimH6942 a holyH6942 assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168.” And 10they proclaimedH7121 it. 21Then JehuH3058 sentH7971 word 11throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478, and allH3605 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a personH376 leftH7604 whoH834 did not comeH935. And when they enteredH935 12the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was filledH4390 from oneH6310 endH6310 to the otherH6310. 22And he saidH559 to the one whoH834 was 13inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the wardrobeH4458, “BringH3318 outH3318 garmentsH3830 for allH3605 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168.” So he broughtH3318 outH3318 the garmentsH4403 for them. 23Then JehuH3058 enteredH935 the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 with JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394; and he saidH559 to the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168, “SearchH2664 carefullyH2664 and seeH7200 to it thatH6435 thereH3426 isH3426 hereH6311 with you noneH6435 of the servantsH5650 of the LordH3068, but onlyH905 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168.” 24Then they enteredH935 to 14offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burntH5930 offeringsH5930.

Now JehuH3058 had stationedH7760 for himself eightyH8084 menH376 outsideH2351, and he had saidH559, “15The oneH376 whoH834 allows anyH4480 of the menH376 whomH834 I bringH935 into your handsH3027 to escapeH4422 16shall give up his lifeH5315 in exchangeH8478.”

25Then it cameH1961 aboutH1961, as soon as he had finishedH3615 17offeringH6213 the burntH5930 offeringH5930, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the 1819guardH7323 and to the royalH7991 officersH7991, “20GoH935 inH935, 21killH5221 them; let noneH376H408 comeH3318 outH3318.” So they 22killedH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the 23guardH7323 and the royalH7991 officersH7991 threwH7993 them outH7993, and wentH1980 to the 24sanctuaryH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168. 26They broughtH3318 outH3318 the 25memorialH4676 stonesH4676 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 and burnedH8313 them. 27They also toreH5422 downH5422 the memorialH4676 stoneH4676 of BaalH1168 and toreH5422 downH5422 the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and 26madeH7760 it a latrineH4280 as it is to this dayH3117.

28So JehuH3058 eradicatedH8045 BaalH1168 from IsraelH3478. 29HoweverH7534, 27as for the sinsH2399 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478, from these JehuH3058 did not desistH5493, including the 28goldenH2091 calvesH5695 that were at BethelH1008 and at DanH1835. 30Yet the LordH3068 saidH559 to JehuH3058, “BecauseH3282H834 you have doneH2895 wellH2895 in performingH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in My eyesH5869, and have doneH6213 to the houseH1004 of AhabH256 in accordance with everythingH3605 that was in My heartH3824, 29your sonsH1121 to the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.” 31But JehuH3058 30wasH8104 not carefulH8104 to walkH1980 in the LawH8451 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, with allH3605 his heartH3824; 31he did not desistH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478.
