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.
