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>_.

10:29

Howbeit [from] the sins
<02399>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

Jehu
<03058>

departed
<05493> (8804)

not from after
<0310>

them, [to wit], the golden
<02091>

calves
<05695>

that [were] in Bethel
<01008>_,

and that [were] in Dan
<01835>_.

10:30

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jehu
<03058>_,

Because thou hast done well
<02895> (8689)

in executing
<06213> (8800)

[that which is] right
<03477>

in mine eyes
<05869>_,

[and] hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>

according to all that [was] in mine heart
<03824>_,

thy children
<01121>

of the fourth
<07243>

[generation] shall sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_.

10:31

But Jehu
<03058>

took no heed
<08104> (8804)

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

with all his heart
<03824>_:

for he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

which made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

{took...: Heb. observed not}
