2 Kings 10:1-11 | 2_Kings_10:15-30 | 2 Kings 11:4-12

15. And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give thine hand. And he gave his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16. And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for יְהוָ֥ה. So they made him ride in his chariot.
17. And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of יְהוָ֥ה, which he spake to Elijah.
18. And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu shall serve him much.
19. 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 Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20. And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed.
21. 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.
22. And he said unto him that over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
23. 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 יְהוָ֥ה, but the worshippers of Baal only.
24. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, his life for the life of him.
25. 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, slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26. And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
27. And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28. Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29. Howbeit the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that in Beth-el, and that in Dan.
30. And יְהוָ֥ה said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing right in mine eyes, hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that in mine heart, thy children of the fourth shall sit on the throne of Israel.
