18 Jehu assembled all the people and said to them, “Ahab worshiped[b] Baal a little; Jehu will worship[c] him with great devotion.[d] 19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests.[e] None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fails to appear will lose his life.” But Jehu was tricking them[f] so he could destroy the servants of Baal.
