sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:19 @ And now call unto me all the prophets of Ba’al, all his worshippers, and all his priests: let no one be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make for Ba’al; whosoever will be missing, shall not live.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:20 @ And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba’al. And they proclaimed it.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:21 @ And Jehu sent throughout all Israel: and there came all the worshippers of Ba’al, so that there was not a man remaining that came not; and they came into the house of Ba’al; and the house of Ba’al was full from one end to another.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:24 @ And they went in to prepare sacrifices and burnt–offerings; but Jehu had set for himself without eighty men, and said, a man that escapeth from the men whom I deliver into your hands, life for his life.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:26 @ And they brought forth the statues out of the house of Ba’al, and burnt every one of them.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:10:29 @ Nevertheless the sins of Jerobo’am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from in following them, the golden calves that were in Beth–el, and that were in Daniel.
