*
Then Jehu gathered all the people together ,
and said to them , "
Ahab served Baal a little ,
Jehu will serve him much .
*
Now therefore ,
call to me all the prophets of Baal ,
all his servants ,
and all his priests .
Let no one be missing ,
for I have a great sacrifice for Baal .
Whoever is missing shall not live ."
But Jehu acted deceptively ,
with the intent of destroying the worshipers of Baal .
*
And Jehu said , "
Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal ."
So they proclaimed it .
*
Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel ;
and all the worshipers of Baal came ,
so that there was not a man left who did not come .
So they came into the temple of Baal ,
and the temple of Baal was full from one end to the other .
*
And he said to the one in charge of the wardrobe , "
Bring out vestments for all the worshipers of Baal ."
So he brought out vestments for them .
*
Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went into the temple of Baal ,
and said to the worshipers of Baal , "
Search and see that no servants of the LORD are here with you ,
but only the worshipers of Baal ."
*
So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings .
Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men on the outside ,
and had said , "
If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escapes ,
whoever lets him escape ,
it shall be his life for the life of the other ."
*
Now it happened ,
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 kill them ;
let no one come out !"
And they killed them with the edge of the sword ;
then the guards and the officers threw them out ,
and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal .
