*
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal ,
all his servants ,
and all his priests ;
let none be wanting :
for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal ;
whosoever shall be wanting ,
he shall not live .
But Jehu did it in subtilty ,
to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal .
*
And Jehu said ,
Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal .
And they proclaimed it .
*
And Jehu sent through all Israel :
and all the worshippers of Baal came ,
so that there was not a man left that came not .
And they came into the house of Baal ;
and the house of Baal was full from one end to another .
*
And he said unto him that was over the vestry ,
Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal .
And he brought them forth vestments .
*
And Jehu went ,
and Jehonadab the son of Rechab ,
into the house of Baal ,
and said unto the worshippers of Baal ,
Search ,
and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD ,
but the worshippers of Baal only .
*
And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings ,
Jehu appointed fourscore men without ,
and said ,
If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape ,
he that letteth him go ,
his life shall be for the life of him .
*
And it came to pass ,
as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering ,
that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains ,
Go in ,
and slay them ;
let none come forth .
And they smote them with the edge of the sword ;
and the guard and the captains cast them out ,
and went to the city of the house of Baal .
