2 Kings 10:18-25

18Then JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and saidH559 to them, “1AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; JehuH3058 will serveH5647 him muchH7235. 19NowH6258, 2summonH7121 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, “3ProclaimH6942 a holyH6942 assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168.” And 4they proclaimedH7121 it. 21Then JehuH3058 sentH7971 word 5throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478, and allH3605 the worshipersH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a personH376 leftH7604 whoH834 did not comeH935. And when they enteredH935 6the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was filledH4390 from oneH6310 endH6310 to the otherH6310. 22And he saidH559 to the one whoH834 was 7inH5921 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 8offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burntH5930 offeringsH5930.

Now JehuH3058 had stationedH7760 for himself eightyH8084 menH376 outsideH2351, and he had saidH559, “9The oneH376 whoH834 allows anyH4480 of the menH376 whomH834 I bringH935 into your handsH3027 to escapeH4422 10shall give up his lifeH5315 in exchangeH8478.”

25Then it cameH1961 aboutH1961, as soon as he had finishedH3615 11offeringH6213 the burntH5930 offeringH5930, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the 1213guardH7323 and to the royalH7991 officersH7991, “14GoH935 inH935, 15killH5221 them; let noneH376H408 comeH3318 outH3318.” So they 16killedH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the 17guardH7323 and the royalH7991 officersH7991 threwH7993 them outH7993, and wentH1980 to the 18sanctuaryH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168.
