2 Kings 10:21

10:21 Jehu sent invitations throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one was absent. They arrived at the temple of Baal and filled it up from end to end. ¹ 

2 Kings 10:26-27

10:26 They hauled out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it. 10:27 They demolished ²  the sacred pillar of Baal and ³  the temple of Baal; it is used as ⁴  a latrine ⁵  to this very day.

¹ tn Heb “and the house of Baal was filled mouth to mouth.”

² tn Or “pulled down.”

³ tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

⁴ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

⁵ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”
