* And Jehu said , Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal Ba #al #. And they proclaimed it . * And Jehu sent through all Israel Yisra #el #: 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 Ba #al #; 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 Ba #al #. And he brought them forth vestments . * And Jehu went , and Jehonadab the son of Rechab , into the house of Baal Ba #al #, and said unto the worshippers of Baal Ba #al #, 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 Ba #al #. * And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal Ba #al #, and burned them . * And they brake down the image of Baal Ba #al #, and brake down the house of Baal Ba #al #, and made it a draught house mowtsa # unto this day . * Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel Yisra #el #. * Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who made Israel to sin , Jehu departed not from after them , to wit , the golden calves that were in Bethel Beyth -#El #, and that were in Dan . * And the LORD said unto Jehu , Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes , and hast done unto the house of Ahab #Ach #ab # according to all that was in mine heart , thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel Yisra #el #. * But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart : for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam Yarob #am #, which made Israel to sin .
