    19Now summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one fail to come, for I am going to hold a great sacrifice to Baal. Anyone who fails to come will not live." But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the worshipers of Baal.

    20Jehu commanded, "Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal." So they announced it.

    21Then Jehu sent messengers throughout all Israel, and all the worshipers of Baal came; not a single one remained behind. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from one end to the other.

    22Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, "Bring out garments for all the worshipers of Baal." So he brought out garments for them.

    23Then Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal. Jehu said to the worshipers of Baal, "Search and make sure that no servants of the LORD are here with you—only the worshipers of Baal."

    24So they entered to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Meanwhile, Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, "If any man lets one of the men I am handing over to you escape, it will be his life for theirs."

    25When Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guards and officers, "Go in and kill them; let no one escape." The guards and officers struck them down with the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal.

    26They brought out the sacred pillars of the temple of Baal and burned them.

    27They also tore down the sacred pillar of Baal, demolished the temple of Baal, and turned it into a latrine, which it remains to this day.

    28Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel.

    29However, Jehu did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.

    30The LORD said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing what is right in my eyes and have carried out all that was in My heart against the house of Ahab, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation."

    31But Jehu did not walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

    10Know, then, that not a word of the LORD will fall to the ground that He spoke concerning the house of Ahab. The LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah."

    11So Jehu struck down all who remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel—all his great men, close acquaintances, and priests—leaving not a single survivor.

    12Then Jehu set out and went to Samaria. Along the way, he came to Beth-Eked of the Shepherds.

    14Then Jehu commanded, "Take them alive." So they captured them alive and slaughtered them at the pit of Beth-Eked—forty-two men. He left none of them alive.
