* And Jehu gathered all the people and said to them , Ahab served Baal a little ; Jehu shall serve him much . * And now call to me all the prophets of Baal , all his servants , and all his priests . Do not let a man be lacking , for I shall have a great sacrifice to Baal . Anyone who is lacking , he shall not live . And Jehu was acting with cunning in order to destroy the servants of Baal . * And Jehu said , Consecrate an assembly for Baal . And they proclaimed it . * And Jehu sent to all Israel , and all the servants of Baal came in . And there was not a man left who did not come in . And they came into the house of Baal , and the house of Baal was full from mouth to mouth . * And he said to the one over the wardrobe , Bring out garments to all the servants of Baal . And he brought out the garments to them . * And Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went in to the house of Baal and said to the servants of Baal , Search and see that there are none of the servants of Jehovah here with you ; but only the servants of Baal . * And they came in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings . And Jehu had set for himself eighty men on the outside . And he said , The man who lets any of the men escape whom I am bringing into your hands , his life for the life of him . * And it happened , when he finished offering the burnt offering , Jehu said to the runners and the third officers , Go in , strike them . Do not let any man come out . And they struck them by the edge of the sword . And the runners and the third officers threw them out . And they went into the city to the house of Baal , * and brought out the pillars of the house of Baal and burned them . * And they broke down the pillar of Baal , and broke down the house of Baal , and made it an outhouse to this day . * And Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel . * Only , from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who caused Israel to sin , Jehu did not turn from following them , the calves of gold at Bethel , and in Daniel . * And Jehovah said to Jehu , Because you have done well , to do the right in my eyes , and you have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart , the sons of the fourth generation shall sit for you on the throne of Israel . * And Jehu did not take heed to walk in the law of Jehovah , the God of Israel , with all his heart . He did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam , who caused Israel to sin . * In those days Jehovah began to cut off in Israel , and Hazael struck them in all the border of Israel , * From the Jordan eastward , the whole land of Gilead , of the Gadites , and the Reubenites , and the Manassites , from Aroer by the Arnon river , even Gilead and Bashan . * And the rest of the acts of Jehu , and all that he did , and all his might , are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel ? * And Jehu lay with his fathers , and they buried him in Samaria . And his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place . * And the days that Jehu reigned over Israel were twenty eight years , in Samaria .
