2 Kings 10:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jehu Slaughters the Prophets of Baal

¹⁸ Then Jehu assembled all the people and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little. Jehu will serve him a great deal. ¹⁹ But now, gather all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests! Let no one be missing because I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. No one who misses it will live.”

But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to exterminate the servants of Baal.

²⁰ Then Jehu said, “Consecrate a festival for Baal,” and they proclaimed it.
