2 Kings 10:18-31
18And JehuH3058 gatheredH6908 all the peopleH5971 togetherH6908, and saidH559 unto them, AhabH256 servedH5647 BaalH1168 a littleH4592; but JehuH3058 shall serveH5647 him muchH7235. 19Now therefore callH7121 unto me all the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, all his servantsH5647, and all his priestsH3548; let noneH376 be wantingH6485: for I have a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 to do to BaalH1168; whosoever shall be wantingH6485, he shall not liveH2421. But JehuH3058 didH6213 it in subtiltyH6122, to the intent that he might destroyH6 the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168. 20And JehuH3058 saidH559, ProclaimH6942 a solemn assemblyH6116 for BaalH1168. And they proclaimedH7121 it.1 21And JehuH3058 sentH7971 through all IsraelH3478: and all the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168 cameH935, so that there was not a manH376 leftH7604 that cameH935 not. And they cameH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168; and the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 was fullH4390 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310.2 22And he saidH559 unto him that was over the vestryH4458, Bring forthH3318 vestmentsH3830 for all the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168. And he brought them forthH3318 vestmentsH4403. 23And JehuH3058 wentH935, and JehonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and saidH559 unto the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168, SearchH2664, and lookH7200 that there beH3426 here with you none of the servantsH5650 of YhwhH3068, but the worshippersH5647 of BaalH1168 only. 24And when they went inH935 to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 and burnt offeringsH5930, JehuH3058 appointedH7760 fourscoreH8084 menH376 withoutH2351, and saidH559, If anyH376 of the menH582 whom I have broughtH935 into your handsH3027 escapeH4422, he that letteth him go, his lifeH5315 shall be for the lifeH5315 of him. 25And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH6213 the burnt offeringH5930, that JehuH3058 saidH559 to the guardH7323 and to the captainsH7991, Go inH935, and slayH5221 them; let noneH376 come forthH3318. And they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and the guardH7323 and the captainsH7991 cast them outH7993, and wentH3212 to the cityH5892 of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168.3 26And they brought forthH3318 the imagesH4676 out of the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and burnedH8313 them.4 27And they brake downH5422 the imageH4676 of BaalH1168, and brake downH5422 the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and madeH7760 it a draught houseH4280H4163 unto this dayH3117. 28Thus JehuH3058 destroyedH8045 BaalH1168 out of IsraelH3478.
29Howbeit from the sinsH2399 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, JehuH3058 departedH5493 not from afterH310 them, to wit, the goldenH2091 calvesH5695 that were in Beth–elH1008, and that were in DanH1835. 30And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto JehuH3058, Because thou hast done wellH2895 in executingH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and hast doneH6213 unto the houseH1004 of AhabH256 according to all that was in mine heartH3824, thy childrenH1121 of the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. 31But JehuH3058 took no heedH8104 to walkH3212 in the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with all his heartH3824: for he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.5
