12:010:018 And Jehu gathered all the people together,
and said unto them,
Ahab
served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
12:010:019 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.
12:010:020 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly
for Baal. And they
proclaimed
it.
12:010:021 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.
12:010:022 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.
12:010:023 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.
12:010:024 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.
12:010:025 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.
12:010:026 And they brought forth the images out of
the house of Baal,
and
burned them.
12:010:027 And they brake down the image of Baal,
and brake down the
house
of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
12:010:028 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
12:010:029 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, and that were in Dan.
12:010:030 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 according to all that was in mine heart,
thy
children
of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of
Israel.
