20
Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. They proclaimed it.
21
Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn`t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22
He said to him who was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. He brought them forth vestments.
23
Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Yahweh, but the worshippers of Baal only.
24
They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him eighty men outside, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, [he who lets him go], his life shall be for the life of him.
25
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 none come forth. They struck 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.
26
They brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.
27
They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, to this day.
28
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29
However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu didn`t depart from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30
Yahweh said to Jehu, Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, [and] have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he didn`t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
