2 Kings 10:18-28

10:18

And Jehu
<03058>

gathered
<06908> (0)

all the people
<05971>

together
<06908> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ahab
<0256>

served
<05647> (8804)

Baal
<01168>

a little
<04592>_;

[but] Jehu
<03058>

shall serve
<05647> (8799)

him much
<07235> (8687)_.

10:19

Now therefore call
<07121> (8798)

unto me all the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>_,

all his servants
<05647> (8802)_,

and all his priests
<03548>_;

let none
<0376>

be wanting
<06485> (8735)_:

for I have a great
<01419>

sacrifice
<02077>

[to do] to Baal
<01168>_;

whosoever shall be wanting
<06485> (8735)_,

he shall not live
<02421> (8799)_.

But Jehu
<03058>

did
<06213> (8804)

[it] in subtilty
<06122>_,

to the intent that he might destroy
<06> (8687)

the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_.

10:20

And Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Proclaim
<06942> (8761)

a solemn assembly
<06116>

for Baal
<01168>_.

And they proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

[it]. {Proclaim: Heb. Sanctify}

10:21

And Jehu
<03058>

sent
<07971> (8799)

through all Israel
<03478>_:

and all the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

so that there was not a man
<0376>

left
<07604> (8738)

that came
<0935> (8804)

not. And they came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_;

and the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>

was full
<04390> (8735)

from one end
<06310>

to another
<06310>_.

{full...: or, so full that they stood mouth to mouth}

10:22

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him that [was] over the vestry
<04458>_,

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

vestments
<03830>

for all the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_.

And he brought them forth
<03318> (8686)

vestments
<04403>_.

10:23

And Jehu
<03058>

went
<0935> (8799)_,

and Jehonadab
<03082>

the son
<01121>

of Rechab
<07394>_,

into the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>_,

Search
<02664> (8761)_,

and look
<07200> (8798)

that there be
<03426>

here with you none of the servants
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but the worshippers
<05647> (8802)

of Baal
<01168>

only.

10:24

And when they went in
<0935> (8799)

to offer
<06213> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>

and burnt offerings
<05930>_,

Jehu
<03058>

appointed
<07760> (8804)

fourscore
<08084>

men
<0376>

without
<02351>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[If] any
<0376>

of the men
<0582>

whom I have brought
<0935> (8688)

into your hands
<03027>

escape
<04422> (8735)_,

[he that letteth him go], his life
<05315>

[shall be] for the life
<05315>

of him.

10:25

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of offering
<06213> (8800)

the burnt offering
<05930>_,

that Jehu
<03058>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the guard
<07323> (8801)

and to the captains
<07991>_,

Go in
<0935> (8798)_,

[and] slay
<05221> (8685)

them; let none
<0376>

come forth
<03318> (8799)_.

And they smote
<05221> (8686)

them with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and the guard
<07323> (8801)

and the captains
<07991>

cast [them] out
<07993> (8686)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to the city
<05892>

of the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_.

{the edge: Heb. the mouth}

10:26

And they brought forth
<03318> (8686)

the images
<04676>

out of the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

them. {images: Heb. statues}

10:27

And they brake down
<05422> (8799)

the image
<04676>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and brake down
<05422> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and made
<07760> (8799)

it a draught house
<04163> (8675) <04280>

unto this day
<03117>_.

10:28

Thus Jehu
<03058>

destroyed
<08045> (8686)

Baal
<01168>

out of Israel
<03478>_.
